"Come again!"
Brother Chen let out an angry roar, trying to keep his eyes open, and looked at the crowd around him through the blood-colored curtain.
At this time, Zheng Shaojie had taken off the blood-stained coarse linen clothes and put on the suit brought by his younger brother.
After buttoning his clothes, Zheng Shaojie came in front of Brother Chen under the protection of Chigui and dozens of gunmen.
Looking at Brother Chen who was still fighting like a trapped beast, Chigui shook his head with pity.
"Brother Chen, stop struggling and look around. Your brothers are almost all dead!"
"..." Brother Chen tried to open his eyes wide, glaring at Zheng Shaojie behind Chigui, and growled, "Zheng Shaojie! Challenge me if you can!"
"One on one?" Chigui couldn't help laughing. "Brother Chen, you are not mistaken, right? With your small body, even in your prime, you are no match for my prince. One on one, you better stand firm first!"
"Ha ha ha ha!!"
Before he finished speaking, the surrounding Red Gang members burst into laughter.
Zheng Shaojie looked at Brother Chen calmly, and suddenly felt a little bored, so he waved his hand gently.
"Forget it, just kill him."
"Yes, Prince!"
The trusted thug who couldn't wait any longer suddenly revealed a ferocious smile and raised the shotgun in his hand impatiently.
"Bang!"
As flames spurted out of the muzzle of the gun, the younger brothers who were protecting Brother Chen suddenly flew up and knocked Brother Chen to the ground.
The trusted thug walked forward with a grin on his face, constantly pulling the trigger of his shotgun.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
With the sound of gunfire, the remaining Axe Gang thugs were shot dead one by one, and Brother Chen himself was also sprayed to the ground. Countless blood holes appeared on his chest, blood flowed from the corners of his mouth and nostrils, and he fell in a pool of blood with his eyes open.
At the same time, Zheng Shaojie had already walked up to Kuliqiang and Asheng.
Behind him was a black sedan driven in from outside Pig Cage City by his trusted younger brother.
Zheng Shaojie personally opened the back door, looked at Kuliqiang and said respectfully: "Master, please!"
Kuliqiang stood there, his expression changing from gloomy to bright, but finally he sighed and walked into the car.
Seeing this scene, Zheng Shaojie couldn't help but smile.
The reason why he targeted Kuliqiang was because he was the youngest and the most unwilling.
The other four masters who lived in seclusion in Pig Cage Village had all tasted the bitterness of the world and knew well what the way of forbearance was.
Not to mention the landlord and the landlady, even though they had the power to crush the Axe Gang, they still endured until the very end before taking action.
The same was true for Ah Sheng, the 'Hong Family Iron Wire Fist', and Ah Gui, the 'Wulang Eight Diagrams Stick'. It was not until the Axe Gang bullied them and destroyed their shops, and even beat them until their mouths were bleeding, that they finally exploded and attacked.
Among the five hidden masters, only the coolie who practiced the "Twelve-Way Tan Leg" was young and energetic.
Not only did he take the initiative to kick Brother Xue from the Axe Gang away, he was also the first to stand up in times of crisis.
Only with such a person can Zheng Shaojie be sure that he can bring him back to the Red Gang after becoming his disciple.
As for the question of strength, that depends on who you are competing with!
According to the description of Tiancan Dique in the movie, Kuliqiang, Asheng and Agui were all first-class masters in the martial arts world before they retired, but Kuliqiang specialized in external skills, unlike the other two who practiced both internal and external skills. That's why he was restrained by Tiancan Dique's sonic skills.
If we ignore the top masters in "Kung Fu", Kuli Qiang's Twelve-Way Tan Leg is actually very powerful.
The only problem is how Zheng Shaojie can convince Kuliqiang to teach martial arts to the members of the Red Gang.
As Zheng Shaojie thought about this, he looked at the tailor, A Sheng, with a smile: "Uncle Sheng, do you want to leave with me?"
Ah Sheng looked at the pool of blood behind Zheng Shaojie with a complicated expression, then looked at the smiling Zheng Shaojie, shook his head and said, "No, Uncle Sheng is old, and he can't make as much trouble as your master. Besides, I live well here, and I'm familiar with the neighbors. I don't want to run around anymore..."
"That's a pity..."
Zheng Shaojie sighed, then clapped his hands: "Someone come!"
As soon as he finished speaking, two younger brothers behind him immediately brought a wooden box.
Zheng Shaojie reached out and opened it, and inside was a pile of ocean dollars.
Looking at the flashing silver light in front of him, Ah Sheng's eyes widened and he said in astonishment: "This... this is..."
"This is the compensation our Red Gang gives to all our neighbors!"
Zheng Shaojie explained with a smile, then raised his head, looked around the surrounding buildings, and said loudly: "Neighbors, don't worry. We, the Red Gang, are different from the Axe Gang. We never do dirty things to oppress the good!"
"The fight between the Red Gang and the Axe Gang has affected all of you neighbors. I have no choice but to do what I do. I, Ajie, have always been responsible for my actions. I hereby declare that all the losses in Pig Cage City will be compensated by my Red Gang. Any neighbors affected by the Axe Gang can come to Sheng Bo to claim compensation!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the tenants of the walled city who were hiding in their homes and secretly looking outside could not help but talk about it.
The landlady and the landlord on the top floor could not help but look surprised and whispered, "This boy is quite thoughtful and seems to be a man of integrity."
The landlord shook his head and said, "No matter how loyal and righteous he is, he is still a gangster. We should not make close friends with him!"
The landlady sighed, "Didn't you hear what he said? He had no choice... Alas, every family has its own problems. It's a pity that such a good child has to join the gangs because of his family background. Just like our son, he died in the ring because he followed us to practice martial arts..."
As she spoke, the landlady couldn't help but look sad.
The landlord sighed and held her in his arms: "Wife, let's just let it go..."
As the couple were moved by the scene, Ah Sheng couldn't help but widen his eyes.
"You want me to pick it up?"
"No, no, I've never done anything like this. Let's find the landlady and the landlord!"
Zheng Shaojie shook his head, put the box full of dollars in A Sheng's hand, and said seriously: "Uncle Sheng, I only trust you!"
Feeling the heavy feeling in his hand and facing Zheng Shaojie's sincere gaze, Ah Sheng hesitated.
Although Ah Sheng had not yet agreed, Deng Yougang knew that Zheng Shaojie's goal had almost been achieved.
During the time he spent with Wang Chuyi, Deng Yougang's knowledge and experience grew rapidly.
Now he can see the truth behind many things.
For example, what Zheng Shaojie is doing now is a means for the powerful to control their subordinates.
By doing these small favors, the other person will feel that he or she is useful and a special person who is needed and close to the person in a higher position. Over time, the other person will get used to this way of getting along and it will be difficult for him or her to say no to the request of the person in a higher position.
Take Ah Sheng and Zheng Shaojie as an example. Although Zheng Shaojie only asks Ah Sheng to help pay the compensation now, if over time, Ah Sheng gets used to this way of getting along, and Zheng Shaojie suddenly asks him to deal with the martial arts masters, do you think Ah Sheng will agree?
Looking at A Sheng who was hesitantly taking the cash box, and Zheng Shaojie who was smiling, Deng Yougang couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
...Another scheming ghost!
Why are all the newcomers he meets such cunning people?
Can’t you give him an honest and simple newcomer like Brother Li and Brother Zuo did?
"Now that Master has fallen into the trap, and Sheng Bo has also stepped half a foot into the Red Gang, the only hidden masters left in Pig Cage Village are Uncle Gui and the landlord and his wife. Unfortunately, the landlord and his wife are unyielding. No matter how I try, they don't reveal the slightest flaw."
"Uncle Gui is the same. Not only is he usually patient and hidden, but he also held back and didn't take action during the Axe Gang incident..."
While Zheng Shaojie was thinking this in his mind, he subconsciously glanced at the breakfast shop where Ah Gui was.
At this moment, Zheng Shaojie suddenly discovered that Ah Gui was standing at the door, staring at him without blinking.
The two looked at each other, and Zheng Shaojie's heart moved. After a little thought, he walked towards the breakfast shop.
Coming in front of Deng Yougang who was already disguised as Ah Gui, Zheng Shaojie lowered his voice and said, "Uncle Gui, Ah Jie knows that you are also a hidden master, and the successor of the famous Wulang Bagua Stick..."
Deng Yougang's expression was startled, and he asked in surprise, "How did you know that?"
You actually admitted it?!
Zheng Shaojie was slightly stunned, then he felt delighted and thought to himself that there was hope.
"How I know this is not important. What is important is that your Wulang Bagua Staff was derived from Yang Wulang's Yang Family Spear, and the Yang Family Spear was used to defeat the Jin soldiers and was feared throughout China."
"As the successor of the Yang Family Spear and Wulang Bagua Stick, are you willing to let your unique skills be forgotten? Don't you want the Yang Family Spear to dominate China again?"
Deng Yougang frowned tightly and asked in a ghost tone: "What do you want to say?"
Zheng Shaojie whispered: "I'm sure you've heard of the name and origin of the Red Gang. The ultimate goal of our Shanghai Red Gang is to drive out foreign enemies and support China!"
Upon hearing this magnificent eight-character principle, Deng Yougang was immediately shocked.
Zheng Shaojie smiled slightly and said softly: "It's you. If it were someone else, I would definitely not tell you the truth!"
Deng Yougang hesitated when he heard this and whispered, "Let me think about it, let me think about it..."
Having said that, the outcome was already determined.
Zheng Shaojie and Deng Yougang, one of them was willing and the other was interested, so Deng Yougang agreed to Zheng Shaojie's request and threatened that he could follow him back to the Hong Gang to take a look and then decide whether to help or not.
Zheng Shaojie was delighted and quickly invited Deng Yougang to get into another car.
Afterwards, Zheng Shaojie came to the third car and sat in the back seat. While taking out a cigar, he casually asked, "Have the bodies of the Axe Gang been arranged?"
The red ghost in the passenger seat turned around and nodded, "It's arranged. I've called One-Eye. He will bring someone to drive over to transport the body."
"That's good!" Zheng Shaojie nodded, then glanced at his younger brother who was hesitant to speak in the driver's seat, "Why, do you have anything else to do?"
The younger brother hesitated and said, "Brother Prince, if you take off the head of the leader of the Axe Gang, you will promote me to be a white paper fan..."
Zheng Shaojie asked back: "Then did you take off his head?"
The younger brother was speechless. He had already beaten Brother Chen's head into a pulp, how could he take it off!
Looking at the younger brother with an annoyed and sullen look on his face, Zheng Shaojie and Chi Gui couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Zheng Shaojie smiled and patted his younger brother on the shoulder, and said cheerfully: "Ah Lin, I'm just joking with you, don't take it seriously. You have been with me for so long, don't you know your boss's character? I, Taizi Jie, always keep my word. If I say I will promote you to be a white paper fan, I will promote you to be a white paper fan!"
