Chapter 1002: Little Bastard is Scared Stupid

~7 min read 1,278 words

Tongfu Teahouse

Seeing Cao Weiguo arrive, Liu Shan and Sun Chao stood up to welcome him.

Liu Shan said anxiously: "That bastard Jin Qianbao is getting more and more excessive, we've been robbed of three more batches of goods."

Liu Shan was the nominal boss of the gang, but the one who really made the decisions was Cao Weiguo.

He could handle daily business himself, but important matters had to be decided by Cao Weiguo.

The wind was getting tighter these days, and Cao Weiguo was worried about attracting too much attention.

Not long ago, he set rules for Liu Shan: not to take action against anyone without permission, and even more so, not to cause any vicious incidents.

Liu Shan wished he could sink Jin Qianbao into the river, but whether or not they could take action had to be decided by Cao Weiguo.

Without Cao Weiguo's consent, he didn't dare to act on his own.

Cao Weiguo sat in the chair, his fingers tapping on the tabletop:

"Isn't it good to be harmonious? Why do you have to look for trouble!"

This kind of thing was the most unlucky, and a slight carelessness would lead to big trouble.

He wasn't afraid of private retaliation, he was afraid of alarming the relevant departments.

But Liu Shan's business brought him at least ten small yellow croakers every month, and he couldn't bear to give it up just like that.

The key was that he found this group of people under Liu Shan useful, and they could do quite a few things for him.

Although good and evil are incompatible, there must be shadows where there is light in this world.

Ten years later, he would inevitably enter the real estate industry, someone had to do the dirty and tiring work, right?

He couldn't possibly go around begging nail houses to negotiate, right?

He couldn't possibly go around the streets and alleys to gather information, right?

He couldn't possibly carry a shovel and dig sand himself, right?

These people under Liu Shan couldn't be brought to the table, but they were useful for certain things.

Sun Chao gritted his teeth: "After Jin Qianbao tasted the sweetness, his actions became more and more arrogant, he's already pissing on our heads. If we don't respond, we won't be able to mix in the capital in the future."

No matter what year or month it is, where there are people, there is a world.

Not to mention the populous capital!

Even with a new country and a new atmosphere, those ruffians, bullies, hooligans, and rogues couldn't be eliminated...

Jin Qianbao, whose name was Gao Fei, told everyone he met that he was the grandson of Gao Yuanxiang, one of the eighteen leaders of the Boxer Rebellion.

Before, he was engaged in swindling and kidnapping, and he had even been taken away for education for a few years.

After coming out, not only did he not change, but he also pulled together the fox friends and dog companions he met in prison to return to his old profession.

After implementing unified purchase and sales, this group of people started doing speculation.

These people had no connections and had always been making small troubles.

They couldn't compare to Cao Weiguo, who made a move and got thousands of catties of pork and mutton.

They mainly obtained materials at low prices through various means and then sold them at a higher price.

At the same time, these people lent out the profits earned from reselling materials as usury.

Although the business wasn't big, they had accumulated quite a bit of wealth over the years and raised quite a few ruffians and rogues under their hands.

At first, Liu Shan was reselling materials, and Jin Qianbao also wanted a share of the pie.

As a result, he was beaten away by Liu Shan's group, and from then on, the two groups formed a grudge.

Because Liu Shan was doing "big business" and had money in his pocket, he quickly pulled together a group of people.

Jin Qianbao tried to find trouble several times but returned in failure, which instead made Liu Shan's reputation in the circle bigger and bigger.

Since the wind got tighter, Cao Weiguo set rules, and Liu Shan had to keep his tail between his legs.

This made Jin Qianbao mistakenly think that Liu Shan was no good, and he started taking people to stab them in the back.

One after another, they injured Liu Shan's subordinates and snatched away a large amount of materials.

Liu Shan and Sun Chao complained to Cao Weiguo, hoping to have a fight with Jin Qianbao.

Just once, they were confident they could cripple that bastard Jin Qianbao.

"Brother Shan! It's not good!"

"Brother Yuanchao has been surrounded by Jin Qianbao's people!"

As the three were talking, a young man ran upstairs, sweating profusely.

Liu Shan was filled with righteous indignation: "Bastard! That bastard Jin Qianbao is too arrogant!"

Sun Chao shouted with hatred: "Brother! We can't endure it anymore, otherwise Jin Qianbao will be pissing on our heads!"

Cao Weiguo said with a gloomy face: "Call people, keep the movement as small as possible."

Seeing this situation, if they continued to be cowardly, Liu Shan's group wouldn't be able to mix in the future.

Not to mention helping him continue to do things.

Liu Shan was extremely excited: "Third, go call people!"

Sun Chao responded excitedly: "Yes!"

Speaking of which, Zhao Yuanchao was also unlucky, having just arrived at the pigeon market with the goods.

Before the stall was even set up, Jin Qianbao surrounded them with people.

Zhao Yuanchao was followed by three helpers, and seeing that Jin Qianbao had more than twenty people, he took to his heels and ran.

The pigeon market was located at Longtan Lake. This area was originally a kiln pit left over from the construction of the outer city during the Ming Dynasty. Until the eve of the founding of the country, it was still a vast wilderness. In addition, the urban wastewater from the east of Tianqiao flowed into the current Longtan Lake along the Longxu Ditch and then into the moat outside Zuo'an Gate, making the Longtan Lake area even more filthy and desolate.

In 1952, to improve the harsh natural environment in the area inside Zuo'an Gate, the authorities organized the masses to dig three artificial lakes using the method of work-relief. Because the water from "Longxu Ditch" gathered here, this place was like a dragon's head, and it was later named "Longtan Lake" at the suggestion of Liang Sicheng.

In November 1953, the Great Leader visited the middle and east lakes of Longtan Lake and talked with a vegetable farmer and a soldier of the North Air Force who was working at the East Lake construction site.

In 1957, the authorities leveled a large area of land here, relocated more than 300 graves, and established the "Longtan Botanical Garden".

In 1958, the East Lake was dug, and a dirt mountain was piled up. Stone benches, road chairs, etc., were also added, basically forming the prototype of a park.

In 1963, Longtan East Lake and the Botanical Garden separated, and it was officially named "Longtan Park". At this time, the East Lake had already built a road around the lake; a large number of trees were planted in the northwest, and amusement facilities were built; the lake surface was vast and clear, and the lake shore was shaded by green willows.

Zhao Yuanchao and the others ran into the dark woods, and Jin Qianbao's group chased and beat them for their lives. ===== CHAPTER 1004 =====
