There is such a rule in the Qinggang rules: Be friendly to brothers.
When the Qinggang was first established, it was originally meant to stay together for warmth, so it was naturally strictly forbidden for disciples within the gang to fight each other.
Due to the existence of this article, not only the areas of Shitang are clearly divided, but the interests are also clearly divided. It is strictly forbidden to take profits from other lines.
Even if there are conflicts of interest and disputes between each other, they are usually coordinated by the gang bosses and are rarely resolved by force.
As the two biggest bosses, Li Yunqing and Pan Shou were in charge of ten different offices. It was said that even if they had any disagreements, they would mostly fight in secret, but they were still very polite on the surface.
But why did Pan Shou shoot Li Yunqing?
Isn't it good to enjoy your dignity in peace? Still act like a young man, using guns and sticks?
This is simply incomprehensible.
Jing Xin turned around and said to the middle-aged man: "Uncle Gui, I have met Director Lin."
The middle-aged man walked forward and bowed to Lin Chuangwei: "Little Pan Gui, I have met Chief Lin."
Lin Chuang looked at Jing Xin with questioning eyes.
Jing Xin introduced: "My father has two housekeepers. The first housekeeper is Uncle Luo Lin. He usually doesn't go out and guards the old house. Uncle Gui is my father's second housekeeper. He always follows my father when he goes out."
"Oh, it turns out to be Butler Pan." Lin Chuang nodded and looked at Pan Gui.
Pan Gui is about forty, with a slim build and a very capable face. His eyes are not big, but they are very bright.
He was wearing a gray robe with specks of blood on it.
Seeing the blood stains, Lin Chuang concluded that Pan Gui must have been present when Pan Shou killed Li Yunqing.
He was not wearing a top hat and his hair was a little messy.
Wearing a long gown and no top hat, it is not very consistent with Pan Gui's identity. I think he must have worn it. He either ran away on the road or was lost at the scene of the shooting.
"Uncle Gui, please report the situation to Director Lin." Jing Xin said.
"Yes, miss." Pan Gui bowed.
"Sir Lin, last night, I received a call from Mr. Huang, saying that I had an appointment with Mr. Li at eight o'clock this morning. No, Li Yunqing was having breakfast in Qiufangyuan. Please go and meet me."
After hearing this, Lin Chuang thought to himself, it seems that Pan Gui is an educated person, and he still cares about me. He is uncultured and cannot say such things.
Lin Chuang also knew that Mr. Huang he was talking about was the elder of the "Tong" generation of the Qing Gang, and his name was Huang Yihu.
Huang Yihu was famous in Shanghai in his early years, but I heard that this man was extremely loyal and upright and did not bother to open casinos, opium dens, brothels, dance halls and other such businesses. He only opened a few serious shops.
He did not use his reputation to do business that could make money quickly. Therefore, his family fortune was not rich and he had few disciples. He was slowly surpassed by some people and gradually became a marginalized figure.
Although he has recruited a fringe figure, his prestige is there, and usually if there are disputes in the gang, he has to come forward to resolve them.
Both Li Yunqing and Pan Shou would give him some face.
As for the Qiufang Garden Pan Gui talked about, Lin Chuang also knew that it was Li Yunqing's property, a Huaiyang restaurant, right here in the old city.
Needless to say, when we arranged to meet there for breakfast, it was definitely not just for the sake of eating.
"Is there any dispute between Li and Pan's family?" Lin Chuang asked.
"Chief Lin is really perceptive, that's right." Pan Gui praised.
For this praise, Lin Chuang automatically filtered it.
An old Jianghu like Pan Gui usually talks a lot about powerful people or people in official positions, and cannot take it seriously at all. If you really take it seriously, he can make you faint with his talk.
"What dispute?" Lin Chuang asked.
"Sir Lin, this is what happened..."
…
It turns out that the dispute between Shangwutang and Xiawutang is still in Caichangtang.
After Yan Dongsheng's death, Yang Luobo was promoted from master to hall master.
According to the private agreement between Li Yunqing and Pan Shou, the Caichangtang was placed under Pan Shou's jurisdiction.
Yang Luobo was originally Pan Shou's nail in the vegetable market hall, and being assigned to Pan Shou meant he could go home.
Unexpectedly, Li Yunqing made a secret move and used the old Caichangtang department to oust Yang Luobo.
Yang Luobo was not easy to mess with. He dealt with several of his subordinates ruthlessly, which angered Li Yunqing.
So, Li Yunqing ordered his men to stop Yang Luobo on the way, found an excuse, and beat him severely.
Yang Luobo complained to Pan Shou, and Pan Shou immediately called Li Yunqing and said some harsh words. However, Li Yunqing did not say anything nice to him, but accused him of stabbing him in the back.
So the two broke up on bad terms.
Pan Shou had a guilty conscience, and Li Yunqing not only had apprentices like Li Shiqun and Wu Sibao, but also served as a senator in the city government. Although he had Lin Chuang as his backer, he felt that his strength was obviously insufficient.
Therefore, he did not want to make the matter a big deal, so he asked Huang Yihu to come forward and make peace with Li Yunqing.
So there was the matter of Huang Yihu coming forward to speak.
Then, it was Pan Shou who took the initiative to sue for peace. Who would have thought that the two of them would be polite when they met. Unexpectedly, after sitting for a while, Pan Shou suddenly became angry and cursed Li Yunqing as a "little beast" and harmed his "girlfriend".
Not only that, he also grabbed the pistol from Ma Yuxing and killed Li Yunqing with one shot.
…
After Pan Gui finished speaking, Jingxin burst into tears again.
Lin Chuang knew that it was her father's words about scolding Li Yunqing that touched her heart.
Although her father is a murderer, the main reason is for her.
It's because I love her that I get angry.
But Lin Chuang didn't think so. He felt there was a conspiracy here.
First, there is a problem with the motivation.
According to Pan Gui, Pan Shou became angry because he remembered his past grudges and the story of Ye Yaoxian.
But isn't his enemy Li Shiqun? Although he has a relationship with Li Yunqing, it doesn't have much to do with him, right?
This conclusion can also be drawn from his scolding. He obviously regarded Li Yunqing as Ye Yaoxian, otherwise who would scold him as a "little beast"?
Even if it was a vendetta, he thought of Ye Yaoxian because of Li Yunqing, but it had been so long and Ye Yaoxian had already died, so why did he suddenly attack now?
Secondly, he knows that his daughter is very happy now, and his power is getting better and better day by day, and his family business is gradually prospering. Only if he is crazy will he do such stupid things that are not good for others or himself.
Obviously, from his previous forbearance, we can conclude that he is a wise man.
For such a man who knows how to be patient and loves his daughter dearly, doesn't he know that the result of his being so impulsive is to cause trouble for his daughter?
It's inconsistent and illogical.
"Sir Lin, please save my superior. He was captured by Li Shiqun and taken to No. 76. Moreover, my superior's home was also surrounded by Wu Sibao." Pan Gui finally begged with tears in his eyes.
Jing Xin did not plead, but looked at Lin Chuang with tears in her eyes.
His eyes were full of begging.
Lin Chuang glanced at Pan Gui, then looked at his eyes, thought for a moment and said to Pan Gui: "Butler Pan, please tell me about today's experience in detail. The more detailed the better."
After saying that, he said to Jing Xin: "If no one else pays homage, then no one can save your father. Killing to pay for life, debt to pay for money, this is a matter of course."
When Jing Xin heard this, his body softened and he collapsed to the ground...
