Rebirth of the Forbidden City: The Troublemaker in the Courtyard

Chapter 486 Hong Kong Island Situation

Ning Yuan took Fatty Fan, Tian Erliang, Hu Lianwang and a few others, and took the gold they had mined during this period to the county town to exchange it directly with his Uncle Fan for money.

As for the share that had been promised to the county government, it was deducted directly.

The county here does not have sufficient supplies, so even if he wants to buy some food and daily necessities, he has no place to spend them.

After getting the money and the letter, Ning Yuan did not stay in the county for long. He directly returned to Fang Village with a few of his friends from the hunting team.

Naturally, everyone on the road would not be idle either. This month is the time when large mammals are most active.

So, when they returned to Fang Village in the evening, it was another fruitful trip.

After the prey was unloaded, the female educated youth in the village would naturally clean it up.

Zou Cheng was watching by the wooden bridge at the entrance of the village, so when he saw Ning Yuan and the others coming back, he quickly notified the villagers.

July is the hottest time of the year, but the climate here can really be said to be pleasant.

The temperature in the mountains is at least 7 or 8 degrees lower than outside, or more directly, referring to the Loess Plateau in northern Shaanxi.

It's 27 or 28 degrees outside, close to 30 degrees, while in the mountains it's just 20 degrees, neither cold nor hot, just comfortable.

After everyone had dinner in the evening, Fatty Fan and Ning Yuan went back to the house together.

Meng Qing poured some water for them both and then went to the inner room to read.

The last time they came back from Sijiu City, Ning Yuan brought back a lot of books.

Ning Yuan and Fatty Fan sat in the living room. After drinking a few sips of water, they took out the letter.

"What's wrong, buddy? What's that expression on your face? What did the letter say?"

Fatty Fan saw that Ning Yuan's face looked a little worried at this moment, and couldn't help but ask curiously.

After hearing Fatty Fan's question, Ning Yuan did not answer, but directly handed the envelope in his hand to him.

After Fatty Fan took it, he quickly opened the envelope and started reading the letter.

After taking a rough look, Fatty Fan slammed the table and looked at Ning Yuan with an expression of unbearable anger on his face.

"Damn it, if what Chen Liangzi said is true, then these bastards in Hong Kong are too damn rampant!"

Ning Yuan glanced at Fatty Fan, then nodded and said.

"Chen Liangzi would never dare to lie to me about something like this. Besides, you don't know much about Hong Kong Island. I went south a while ago to get a good understanding of the situation there!"

Fatty Fan saw that Ning Yuan stopped talking and asked quickly.

"What? What's going on with them? Damn it! That place belongs to our ancestors. They're relying on foreigners to back them up, and they don't even have any rules?"

Ning Yuan shook his head helplessly and continued.

"Humph, this place really has no rules! The foreigners don't really consider this place their own, so they just want to make as much money as possible. And the local powerful organizations, big and small, don't take the common people seriously. So, the situation Chen Liangzi and the others described is completely normal!"

"So what should we do? We can't just let them beat us up without even saying a word, right? If we really endure this, the people you put over there will lose their support, and any plans you make will be bullshit!"

As one of Ning Yuan's original team members, Fatty Fan is basically clear about the people in Ning Yuan's hands and his arrangements.

Moreover, the fat man himself had followed Ning Yuan and the others step by step to make his way in the city, so he had a lot of say in terms of the cohesion of people's hearts.

Ning Yuan nodded. Even Fatty Fan understood this truth, so how could he not understand it?

He was the one who decided to send Chen Liangzi, Zheng Liang, Wu Qiang and others to Hong Kong Island, so he had to take responsibility and not let his men suffer.

But here lies the problem. If you don't keep silent about your loss, it means you will have to retaliate.

If you want to retaliate, you must consider the strength comparison between the two sides.

Chen Liangzi made it very clear in the letter that they were with Liansheng.

He Liansheng is currently one of the largest social organizations in Hong Kong Island, if not the best, it is definitely one of the top few.

There are at least a thousand younger brothers registered under this name.

Damn, there are literally thousands of little brothers here.

This is the real situation in Hong Kong Island during this era, with large societies often comprising thousands of members.

There are also some small clubs below, with more than a hundred members.

That is, the marginal areas such as Yau Ma Tei and Tuen Mun have not yet developed, so they are all the subordinates of various large social groups, or small forces organized by local residents, fighting in chaos.

But even for this kind of situation, the scale must be dozens of people.

For example, Brother Hao, who became extremely popular in later generations and countless people wanted to make money with him.

In fact, it started out in Yau Ma Tei, where it participated in community fights.

Come to think of it, it seems that this kid just showed up at this time.

Ning Yuan and his group of naughty kids were mostly born in 50 or 51.

And that "Brother Hao" was born in 55. According to later reports, this guy started going to the police station for questioning when he was only fifteen or sixteen years old.

Come to think of it, isn't it just this time?

Having said that, the various associations have not yet formed a fixed interest structure, so there is still room for fun!

Ning Yuan thought about it for a moment and felt a headache.

The only knifemen he can use are these. If they were placed in the core areas of prosperous business such as Portland Street in Tsim Sha Tsui or Causeway Bay, then there is no way he can interfere, and he can't even think about it.

But, isn’t this near Tuen Mun now?

There seems to be some opportunity here.

To be honest, it’s not that Ning Yuan is bored and wants to stir up trouble, but in the context of this era in Hong Kong Island, no matter what business you do, you cannot do without the participation of these community members.

Yes, no matter what industry you are in, you cannot do without them, let alone those small businesses. The Li family, the He family, and the Wu family all have to rely on these gangsters.

Of course, this also means that they can take the initiative and not be as vulnerable as the small merchants below who have no temper at all.

The Li family is supported by these two families: Liansheng and Xingyi'an.

The He family's bathroom is 14K, and as for the Guo (Huo) family (they are a bit famous, so let's use them as a substitute), it seems that no one has heard of any of the other groups getting involved.

Guo Xiangdong, the head of the Guo family, seems to be only about fifty years old this year. He is of the same generation as Ning Yuan's father.

When Ning Yuan thought of this, he suddenly looked up at Fatty Fan.

Fatty Fan felt a little scared by Ning Yuan's look. After swallowing, he asked carefully.

"Dude, what's this idea you've come up with? Don't leave me alone! Damn it!"

Ning Yuan chuckled!

(Chapter supplement!)

Looking at Ning Yuan's smile, Fatty Fan couldn't help but step back with his round body and cursed.

"Just tell me what you want to say. As long as it's not excessive, I'll definitely help you with whatever I can do, okay?"

"Alright, brother, that's exactly what I want you to say! So, back when we were carrying out the Meiyuanchao movement, your father was one of the directors in charge of logistics, right?"

Fatty Fan was a little confused, but nodded anyway.

After all, everyone knows about this kind of thing. Everyone knows when the old man of each family retired and when he participated in which war.

There really is nothing to hide, although, at that time, their logistics were really bad!

(Just to be frank, the Five Tigers have absolutely no meaning! I swear, seriously.)

Ning Yuan nodded and continued.

"I heard that at that time, there was a Guo family in Hong Kong. They used their own fleet to smuggle a lot of medicines and other things from abroad and delivered them to your grandfather's logistics department!"

Fatty Fan was stunned for a moment, then nodded hesitantly.

"What do you mean? Let's try contacting the Guo family. Do they trust us youngsters?"

Fatty Fan is also a smart man. When he heard Ning Yuan mention the Guo family and even mentioned his old man, he immediately realized what Ning Yuan wanted to do.

Ning Yuan nodded and said to Fatty Fan.

"That's exactly the problem. That's why I need you to talk to your father and help us connect. As for whether they're willing to get involved, we'll have to try it out to find out."

Fatty Fan naturally had no questions. After agreeing on the general words with Ning Yuan, it was getting late, so he went straight out and went back to his residence.

After all, Ning Yuan is now a married man, and they can no longer drink to their heart's content and then go to bed together as they did before.

After seeing Fatty Fan leave, Meng Qing came out of the inner room, locked the door, and then sat down opposite Ning Yuan.

"What were you two talking about just now? Why did I hear you were discussing this with Fatty Fan's old man?"

Ning Yuan looked at Meng Qing, shook his head, and spoke in a relaxed tone.

"Okay, wife, stop worrying about it. It's not a big deal. It's just a chess piece that was casually placed. If it works, it works. If it doesn't, it won't have any impact!"

Meng Qing looked at Ning Yuan's pretending to be relaxed and naturally didn't believe it in her heart. However, with Ning Yuan's personality, no one could force him to say what he didn't want to say.

Besides, he said this because he didn't want her to worry about it.

Meng Qing would not be stubborn and cause more unhappiness.

"Okay, as long as you're alright, then don't just stand there and go to bed. Don't you and Fatty have to go to the county early tomorrow morning to call Sijiu City?"

Hearing Meng Qing's urging, Ning Yuan nodded repeatedly, then stood up, hugged Meng Qing and went into the inner room.

I only heard a "bang" and the door closed.

There was a rustling sound in the room, and soon, the big bed, which was originally made of wood, began to creak!

...........................

The next morning, Ning Yuan was still sleeping in a daze, but Meng Qing had already gotten up and prepared breakfast for him.

As the saying goes, there are only tired oxen but no plowed land!

He accompanied Ning Yuan in the battle until midnight and was still full of energy when he woke up in the morning.

But Ning Yuan couldn't even get up, so Meng Qing had to come into the room and drag Ning Yuan up.

After finishing breakfast, Fatty Fan, Tian Erliang, Hu Lianwang and others came to find Ning Yuan.

A group of seven people, fully armed, left the village and headed towards Annan County.

This mountain road has been well-traveled by them.

Moreover, thanks to their restlessness, the wild animals, snakes, insects, etc. near the road have been almost eliminated.

After all, the chance of death is too high along this route.

Moreover, the lingering smell of blood and gunpowder is enough to scare away all kinds of animals.

Not to mention animals like goats, deer, badgers and wild boars, even grizzly bears and tigers were killed by Ning Yuan and his men.

They also have two grizzly bear skins and a tiger skin in their treasury.

This top predator has fallen here, so who else is so foolish as to dare to charge at it?

Don't underestimate these animals' instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm.

Therefore, the journey was extremely peaceful, and no one came out to entertain them.

Occasionally, there would be one or two pheasants flying around in the nearby woods.

Ning Yuan and the others didn't pay much attention to it. They had important things to do. Now that they had hunted down the prey, it would be a burden to carry it with them.

It was almost noon when Ning Yuan and his companions arrived in Annan County.

As soon as we entered the county, we went straight to the armed forces department.

After all, this is to contact the city of Beijing, and the phone number at Fan Lei's place is always a bit inconvenient.

Ning Yuan asked Fatty Fan to follow him into the yard.

The other guys were chatting with the militia in the front yard.

After spending some time together, everyone has become familiar with each other.

After Ning Yuan and Fatty Fan entered the office, Zhang Desheng was still sitting in his office chair, studying the newspaper carefully in his hand.

"Uncle Zhang, I'm here again!"

Zhang Desheng looked up at the office door. When he saw Ning Yuan and Fatty Fan coming in, he smiled at first, but then his face turned bitter.

"Good boy, you can still do this every day! Don't you feel tired?"

Ning Yuan and Fatty Fan were both smiling happily.

"Hey Uncle Zhang, if you want to scold me, just scold Ning Yuan. I came to see you not to bother you or anything, I just followed him here because I missed you."

Fatty Fan came over quickly with a flattering look on his face and lit a cigarette for Zhang Desheng.

Zhang Desheng didn't bother to beat around the bush with this little bastard. He took a nice puff of cigarette, exhaled, and stretched comfortably.

"Okay, stop beating around the bush with me. What are you planning to do here today?"

Ning Yuan hurried over and pointed at Fatty Fan before answering.

"Uncle Zhang, this is what's going on. Isn't Fatty's father out too? I just happened to have something to discuss with Fatty Fan's grandfather, so I came over to borrow your phone!"

Zhang Desheng is also one of them, so there is really no need to hide it from him, so Ning Yuan just told him directly.
