"Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Although Hong Shenghe is good, he is not monolithic..."
Hu Bo sighed: "Hong Shenghe adhered to the moral principles of the world and naturally lost a lot of interests. It has been going downhill over the years. Many people in the gang have long been dissatisfied...
Many people also want to follow the example of the Yixing Gang and the Sanhai Society in making money by any means, such as getting involved in pills and arms...
However, Niu Ben kept suppressing it, determined not to allow Hong Shenghe and his people to get involved in those unethical things, and tried to do some legal business...
But the money coming from legal business was too slow, so some people in Hong Shenghe had been secretly opposed to Niu Ben, trying to oust him and choose a leader who could make everyone rich...
Niu Ben was also under pressure and had no hope of re-election, so he had to push Niu Xixi to run...
Because Niu Qianqian is the only double-flower stick that has appeared on Hong Kong Island in the past ten years. She has great influence and reputation in the world. A large number of people in Hong Sheng and Li support her...
However, if Niu Xixi becomes the leader, she will definitely adhere to Niu Ben's policy, so there are many people who oppose her...
In particular, Beng Yakui, the boss of Qinglian Hall, wanted to be the leader. He not only gave money to many old guys like Hong Shenghe, but also promised many benefits to other people in the hall...
It will not be easy for Niu Xixi to win the election!"
"Then we will help her run for office!"
Jiang Chonglou nodded: "Since Hong Shenghe is loyal and has a bottom line in doing things, we must develop them into our power!"
"Yes, I thought so too, so I became Hong Shenghe's legal advisor and often gave advice to Niu Qianqian..."
Amber paused, then smiled and said: "Actually, if you seduce Niu Qianqian and bring her into the fish pond, she will be loyal to Hong Sheng and be driven by our Mo Xia!"
"Uh... didn't you just want me to be the King of the Sea?" Jiang Zhonglou was speechless.
"I'm afraid that you, kid, have true feelings... But in order to control Hong Shenghe, you have to resort to a beauty trick and put Niu Qianqian into the fish pond!" Amber said.
"Well...it depends on the situation. You don't have to use this method to control Hong Shenghe, right?" Jiang Zhonglou was depressed.
"This is the simplest and most direct way, and I'm afraid it's also the only way for your kid to get to the top quickly!"
Amber said: "You are just a blue lantern now, with a crazy chicken, a forty-nine boy named Ah Le, and a straw-shoe uncle... How about you don't use a beauty trick to become the boss in the year of the monkey and the horse in the month of the month?"
"Um... tell me more about these four-nine straw sandals and whatnot!" Jiang Chonglou asked again.
"Under the red stick is a 415 white paper fan. Four times fifteen plus four equals sixty-four, which refers to the sixty-fourth hexagram of King Wen, and the true meaning of magic number..."
Amber continued: "So, White Paper Fan is the military advisor within the association, responsible for finance, accounts, planning, etiquette, teaching...
Four plus one plus five equals ten, so the white paper fan is also called the ten bases, which symbolizes the ten heavenly stems. The red sticks in front of it, four and two six, add up to twelve, symbolizing the twelve earthly branches...
The red stick and the white paper fan, both martial and literary, are the frontline force of Hongmen...
The formula left by Hei Guren said that White Paper Fan, White Fan's position is in charge of documents, he will support the princess in Muyang City, manage the two capitals and thirteen provinces, and his official position will be in April 15th..."
"Master Wu is also the second marshal, and he is also a white paper fan. Isn't this confusing?" Jiang Zhonglou said doubtfully.
"Second Marshal is just an honorary title and has no real power. Wu Zhuyu serves as Hong Shenghe's supervisor, which is equivalent to the financial director, so he is called the Chief White Paper Fan..."
"Oh, Master Wu's original name is Evodia." Jiang Chonglou nodded.
"Yes, Evodia and Niu Ben were kids. They followed Hong Sheng and Meng Hong, the boss at the time, and went through life and death for decades before they reached their current position," Amber said.
"I heard Wu Juyu said that he went to meet a senior undercover agent in the police last night. It seems that this master Wu has Hong Sheng and many secrets!" Jiang Zhonglou thought.
"That's right. Although he has never been Hong Shenghe's boss, he probably knows more about Hong Shenghe's secrets than some leading bosses!"
Amber nodded: "Especially Hong Sheng and the undercover agents deployed in the police, because they have to lurk for many years. Some high-level undercover agents are not even known to the boss, so Evodia has been in single-line contact."
"Oh... what about Uncle Quan Xie? Who is he and why is he called a security guy?" Jiang Zhonglou asked again.
"The four-two-three straw sandals are also called the nine bottoms, which represent the nine palaces. Black Bone Ren's formula says that the straw sandals are originally five dragons, and they are to communicate information to the Hong family. The Hong family wrote it without any changes, and the iron-clad notices are all Hong..."
Amber continued to explain: "It can be seen that Cao Shan was first responsible for liaison and information transmission in Hongmen, and later gradually became the small leader at the bottom of the society...
Uncle Quan's name is Zhou Quan, he is cautious and always says safety first, so everyone laughs at his timidity and calls him Safety Guy...
Because he was timid and afraid of death, Uncle Quan lived in his forties and was still a straw sandal...
However, he is still a good person, treats his younger brother well, and has many people with him..."
"oh..."
Coming off the straw sandals is the most common member of the society, Sijiuzai. Four times nine equals thirty-six, which represents the Thirty-Six Tiangang. Moreover, the Hongmen Ceremony opens and all members must recite the Thirty-Six Hongmen Oaths...
The blue lanterns refer to those who intend to join the society and have not yet opened the incense hall to hold the Hongmen ceremony to join the society..."
"Um... Hong Kong Island's social groups and gangs are actually so well-organized and hierarchical?" Jiang Zhonglou was stunned again, "This organizational structure is probably more complicated than a modern enterprise, right?"
"The organizational structure and model of the Hong Kong Island community was first introduced by the Hongmen model brought by Hei Guren..."
Amber thought: "The Hongmen Tiandihui is said to have been founded by Zheng Chenggong's military advisor Chen Jinnan with the purpose of resisting the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty. It was very active in the early and middle stages of the Qing Dynasty...
In the late Qing Dynasty, Hongmen Tiandihui was attacked and annihilated by the Qing court, and gradually fell into pieces and fell apart...
Hongmen leader Tian Baoxin sent Hei Guren, the leader of Yongyi Hall, to Hong Kong to create a new Hongmen church...
Hei Guren integrated the gangs in Hong Kong Island, put forward the slogan of "peace is the most important", and joined the gang to keep warm. They were all nominally affiliated with Hongmen...
He also implemented Hongmen's organizational structure model and etiquette rules in the major gangs on Hong Kong Island...
Therefore, all the gangs in Hong Kong Island still call themselves Hongmen disciples, and the etiquette and rules for opening incense halls are similar, and the chants are the same..."
"Organizational structure aside, these key formulas of Hei Guren are really a bit strange..." Jiang Zhonglou thought intently, "I'm afraid there is a deeper meaning in it!"
