The heavens: pushing across all realms
Chapter 99 Searching
"As soon as I received Jinsun's telegram, I immediately set out to find the person."
Lu Haodong sighed and told what happened.
The Duan family lived on Dongqian Street. The Japanese designated that area as a concession and drove away all the Chinese people there.
Several shops and houses of the Duan family were inside. Not only were they kicked out of East Street, all their property was forcibly confiscated by the Japanese, and the shops were gone.
Dozens of members of the Duan family suddenly had no way of living, so they naturally refused.
Mr. Duan went to the Yamen to complain and asked the Yamen to make the decision.
Unexpectedly, the government did not dare to provoke the Japanese, so they directly beat Mr. Duan thirty times with a cane and drove him out of the Yamen.
Mr. Duan was so angry that he was too old and the place where he was hit by the stick was too seriously injured, so he died like this.
Mr. Duan is the heart and soul of the Duan family. Once he dies, the entire Duan family tree will fall apart and everyone will run away.
Sister Feng Ji's house was reduced to the streets, and eventually she lived in a shanty town.
It didn't matter originally. With Lu Haodong's ability, settling their family here was not a big problem.
But after Lu Haodong found the address, Feng Jinfeng and his family disappeared.
Lu Haodong asked people everywhere to help search, but there was still no news.
"Hey, Brother Daoke, I've been looking everywhere. It's just that the shanty town has a complicated population and many gangs. Your eldest sister and the others have just moved there, and they don't know many people. I asked many people, but they didn't find it. information."
Feng Ji's face was a little gloomy, but not to Lu Haodong, but to the Japanese.
Lu Haodong has tried his best to help, and of course he can't blame him.
When he arrived in Guangzhou and saw the White Lotus Sect running rampant and foreign ships everywhere, he had a bad premonition.
Feng Ji sighed and said, "Brother Haodong is not to blame, you have tried your best. Can you tell me the address of the shanty town?"
"good."
Feng Ji got the address and asked again: "Brother Haodong, are there gangs entrenched in this shanty town?"
"Yes, I asked someone to ask friends of the Thirteenth Line about the territory that belongs to the Thirteenth Line, but there are many hills inside the Thirteenth Line, and he couldn't help me find out."
The so-called Thirteen Banks were actually dental shops in the Qing Dynasty that specialized in foreign trade.
However, since the Opium War in the late Qing Dynasty, the British had forcibly torn apart the Qing Dynasty's secluded policy, forced the Qing government to sign the Treaty of Nanjing, and opened a large number of port transactions. From then on, Guangdong's Thirteenth Bank was not the only treaty port for foreign trade, and its status turned from prosperity to decline. gradually declined.
Today, although the Thirteenth Bank still operates foreign trade, it is no longer completely under the jurisdiction of the government. What really controls the Thirteenth Bank is the gang organization formed by some local family forces.
Feng Ji learned a little bit from Lu Haodong that the real controllers of these thirteen trades are Pan, Wu, Lu, and Ye. They are also the four richest families in Guangdong.
Nearly a hundred years of family accumulation have made the four major families extremely wealthy, and their businesses are involved in all aspects. Even in the government, there are many people from the four major families.
After Feng Ji listened, he just nodded slightly and didn't care how powerful the so-called four major families were.
For him, as long as there are local snakes, everything will be easy.
After rejecting Lu Haodong's invitation to meet Feng Xichen, Feng Ji simply washed himself and fell asleep.
As soon as it dawned the next day, Xiao Liuzi was waiting outside the Lu family manor early.
After Feng Ji finished boxing and finished his meal, he said hello to Uncle Friend, then took Xiao Liuzi with him and headed to the shantytown.
There was no luggage this time, so Feng Ji sat in Xiao Liuzi's rickshaw.
"Master Feng, the shanty town is dirty and messy. Why are you going there?"
"A relative stayed there and disappeared. Go and check."
When Xiao Liuzi heard this, he immediately showed a look that he wanted to say but was hesitant to speak.
Feng Ji saw that he had something to say and asked, "If you have something to say, just say it."
"Master Feng, it's not that I want to say something bad, but I heard people say that it's common for people to go missing in the shanty towns. I heard people say that many people from the dental industry go there to arrest people. "
Feng Ji suddenly raised his eyebrows: "Yaxing?"
"It's Ren Yazi. They often collude with some gangsters in shantytowns and take away women and children by force. Some are sent to brothels and some are sold into the mountains."
"What's more, I heard that they will be sold directly to foreigners."
Feng Ji's face darkened. Human trafficking existed in every era.
The more troubled the times, the more such things happen.
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, hoping that the eldest sister and his family would not be involved in such a thing.
The rickshaw quickly passed through the crowd and entered a shanty town.
This place is indeed, as Xiao Liuzi said, dirty and messy, and the passers-by look disheveled, half-clothed, and have sallow complexions and thin bodies.
Many opium dens line the streets, and gambling houses can be seen everywhere.
As soon as Xiao Liuzi brought Feng Ji in, many beggars immediately surrounded him, begging for food and money.
Xiao Liuzi was not polite and raised his hand to hit him.
"Go away, go away!"
"Mom, get out of here, you guys with hands and feet, don't you think you can make your own money?"
"Get out of here!"
The beggars were beaten so hard by Xiao Liuzi that they screamed and ran away with their heads in their hands.
At this time Feng Ji said: "Wait a minute."
Xiao Liuzi was stunned and turned to look at Feng Ji: "Master Feng?"
Feng Ji got up and got off the rickshaw, came to the front of many beggars, stretched out his palm, and revealed a handful of copper plates.
He glanced at the circle of beggars, took out a portrait of the eldest sister Feng Jinfeng, and said, "Whoever has seen this woman and can provide any valuable information will get the money."
The beggars' eyes were bright and they hurriedly looked at the portrait.
A beggar suddenly shouted: "I know, I know, this woman lives in the shanty behind Anren's shop. I saw her a month ago."
Feng Ji looked at the beggar and asked, "Does she still live there?"
"Um, I don't know that."
Feng Ji didn't waste any time and just threw out the coins.
Suddenly the beggar was ecstatic and hurriedly picked up the copper coins and stuffed them into the bowl.
Feng Ji got the news from Lu Haodong that the eldest sister did live in a shanty here in Anrenpu.
The other beggars looked at her with eager eyes, and someone shouted: "I also know that this woman lives in Anrenpu."
Feng Ji shook his head: "Repeating information is useless. Does anyone else have information about this woman?"
The beggars looked at each other, obviously no one knew.
Feng Ji frowned and said, "You can go and inquire. If you have any news, you can come to the Lu family manor to find me."
After that, Feng Ji took Xiao Liuzi and walked towards Anrenpu.
Anrenpu is a somewhat decent street in a shantytown, but the road is still full of mud.
On both sides of the road, there are simple houses built of dilapidated shanties.
Feng Ji quickly found the location described by Lu Haodong. This shanty was a thatched roof and a simple wooden house inside.
There are still many palm-thick gaps between the wood and the wood, and the wooden boards are barely visible inside.
Feng Ji glanced around and saw a middle-aged man lying on a moldy chair at the door. On the broken table on one side, an oil lamp was lit. He was holding a big cigarette pole and puffing away smoke.
Apparently, the place has changed owners.
Xiao Liuzi glanced at Feng Ji and said, "Master, should I ask about the situation?"
"Um."
Xiao Liuzi immediately ran over, lifted up the middle-aged man who was smoking, and asked: "Hey, wake up! Stop smoking!"
"Who the hell are you?"
The middle-aged man opened his eyes and started shouting in a daze.
Xiao Liuzi pulled him up with a bit of contempt in his eyes. He looked down on these smoking cowards.
"Let me ask you, who originally lived here?"
The middle-aged man pushed Xiao Liuzi hard, but unfortunately his weak body could not push Xiao Liuzi away at all.
The man said angrily: "Let go! Damn it, do you know who I'm messing with? Does Mr. Kun recognize it? That's my boss!"
When Xiao Liuzi heard this, he hesitated a little.
"Meng Kun, who is betting from all sides?"
When the middle-aged man saw this, he couldn't help but feel proud: "It's good if you know, let me go!"
Xiao Liuzi became embarrassed and looked back at Feng Ji.
Feng Ji had already walked over, patted Xiao Liuzi and motioned for him to get out of the way.
Xiao Liuzi quickly stepped aside. Feng Ji walked up to this person and slowly reached out to grab his braid.
The middle-aged man suddenly became angry and cursed: "Are you looking for death?"
He wanted to get up, but Feng Ji lightly stepped on his chest.
"Ouch...you fucking-ah!"
Before he could finish cursing, his scalp suddenly hurt sharply. Feng Ji directly pulled his braid, causing his scalp to bleed.
"Answer my question well and I won't ask it a second time."
"Oh, oh, let go, let go quickly, let go first, you asked me."
"Where are the people who originally lived here?"
"I don't know. When I came here, it was empty."
Feng Ji asked coldly: "When you came, were the original owner's belongings still there?"
"Yes, everyone is here."
"Have you heard where the original owner went?"
"I don't know, I really don't know. There are only a few people in this shantytown every day. I only heard that the family of three who lived here before was a pretty girl and the man seemed to be a young master from a wealthy family."
"go on."
"This kind of person is Ren Yazi's favorite. If you want to find someone, ask Ren Yazi."
Feng Ji raised his eyebrows: "Where are the human teeth in this area?"
"Tongfu Xing, you can go to Tongfu Xing and ask."
Feng Ji picked up the other party and shouted: "Find me all the belongings of the original owner."
The middle-aged man's thin body was lifted up like a chicken and thrown into the house.
The house was filled with a peculiar smell, and the man rummaged hurriedly and pulled out a tattered basket from the corner.
Feng Ji glanced around and saw that most of the baskets were old clothes.
But from the clothes, he had already judged that these were indeed belongings to his eldest sister's family.
Feng Ji's face darkened.
"The eldest sister disappeared without even having time to pack her clothes. She definitely didn't leave by herself."
Feng Ji immediately turned around and said to Xiao Liuzi: "Take me to Tongfuxing!"
"Yes, Master."
Xiao Liuzi quickly got on the rickshaw and took Feng Ji to Tongfuxing.
"Liu Zi, how much do you know about Tong Fuxing?"
"Master, Tongfu Bank is one of the Thirteen Banks in Guangdong. The one here should be just a semicolon."
"Behind Tongfu is the property of the Pan family, the four major families. They mainly deal in human trafficking. I heard that they are very close to foreigners, and they also have many connections in the government. In the entire four major families, they are all Above average."
"I also heard that Tongfuxing raised a group of people and established the Tongfu Gang. It sounds good to talk about sharing blessings, but the people inside are all vicious, and many of them are fished out from death row. "
"It is said that Wu Shun, the boss of the Tongfu Gang, was once a member of the White Lotus Sect, and no one dared to mess with him."
