Chinese officialdom was the most obvious place in the circle culture. Everyone could be simply divided into two types, those inside the circle and those outside the circle. Anyone who entered the officialdom would be involuntarily drawn into circles. If you wanted to jump out of these circles, sorry, there was only one possibility-to be sidelined. You would cut off your own path of advancement. Therefore, only those officials who were about to retire or were arranged to be in the literature and history department could stand up and say,""I don't have many circles.”
Jiudu City was not a pure land, so it had its own circle of officials. Through Fan Wei, Yang Xing could get a general idea. Tan Qing, the secretary of the municipal party committee, was said to be a confidant of a powerful deputy governor in the province. He was transferred to the city together with the current executive deputy chief, Kan Dongtian, in 1990. At that time, the province broke the convention and did not promote officials from Jiudu City because they wanted to improve the economy of Jiudu City, the second largest city in the province. Unfortunately, it had been almost four years, and everything was still the same. It could be said that the two foreign leaders did not want to make a big deal out of it. It was really because the local faction of Jiu Du City was too strong that they were almost figureheads. Ding Weiyong was the core of the local faction in Jiudu. He had wanted to become the secretary of the municipal party committee, but Tan Qingheng had interfered. Blocking the promotion of others in the officialdom was the greatest hatred. Although the province had given him the position of deputy secretary of the municipal party committee to appease him, it was impossible for him to coexist peacefully with Tan Qing. Similarly, Yin Xiangshan, the secretary of the Municipal Law Committee under him, did not have a good impression of Han Dongtian, who stood in his way. Ding Weiyong and Yin Xiangshan had a high prestige in the Nine Capital local faction, while Tan Qing and Kan Dongtian held them back in every way, making it difficult for them to carry out their work. The two of them were unwilling to be trapped in their own cocoon, so there were fierce battles in the Nine Capital officialdom, but they did not have the ability to kill their opponents in an instant.
Yang Xing was currently able to get close to the official figures in Jiudu. One of them was Zha Laowu's uncle, Zeng Xinsheng, the deputy director of the city police station. His father's old classmate, Wang Yufeng, deputy director of the Municipal Bureau of Industry and Commerce; Fan Wei's mother, Yu Fen, the deputy mayor of Binhe District. These three people could barely be considered local figures, but all three of them had one thing in common-they were people on the sidelines. When they heard their titles, they were all shocked. They were all people with real power! However, after a closer look, one would realize that the three of them were all deputy directors. In this day and age, the leader was the one in charge. There were several deputy leaders above the three of them. They were all the ones at the back! Zeng Xinsheng had climbed up to his current position from the most basic police officer. It was already a miracle for him without a strong background. Wang Yufeng was similar to him. Although the old leader of the Industry and Commerce Bureau liked him, once the old leader retired, he could only stand aside. Yu Fen, on the other hand, was old enough to retire in two years. She was promoted to the position of district leader so that she could retire in glory. The three of them did not have any real power. Without a big opportunity, they would probably stop at their current positions. However, Yang Xing wanted to put them in the same circle and make them presentable. This required a breakthrough, and this opportunity was right in front of him.
In the original history, a shocking case broke out in the end of 1994-the 12.4 case. In 1994, there was an armed robbery at the city credit union in the shopping mall. Four criminals killed two people and then had a gunfight with the police who rushed over. As a result, two policemen were killed and one was injured. All the criminals were killed. After the investigation, they found that the guns used by the criminals were all black guns produced by the underground gun factory. This discovery shocked the whole country. In addition to the dozens of black gun robberies in Zhongyuan Province, this case became a major case ordered by the Ministry of Public Security to be supervised. After more than half a year of investigation, the main target of the investigation was Jiu Du City. This was because the workmanship of these firearms was very different from those made in the countryside. It was obvious that they were made by people who had a certain technical foundation and were proficient in firearm processing. Jiu Du City, which was densely populated with military factories, was of course the biggest suspect, and Li Dengyun, one of the three tigers of Jiu Du, who had close ties with the underground gun group, became the top target of the task force. On December 4th, the Provincial Public Security Bureau sent dozens of armed police to raid Li Dengyun's machinery processing plant in Binhe District without informing the local police of Jiudu. They raised nearly 100 guns of all kinds and then an intense gunfight broke out during the process of the armed police's pursuit of Li Dengyun. The plot was so hot that it was enough to make a Hollywood action movie. With the investigation of the case, a bigger conspiracy was revealed. According to Li Dengyun's confession after his arrest, he had bribed several million yuan to the municipal leaders of Jiu Du City to act as his umbrella. As a result, the Jiudu City's officialdom was shaken, and more than a dozen people were arrested, including the head of the Shi department, Ding Weiyong, and his subordinates. This became the first major case in the history of Jiudu City after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Based on this, Yang Xing wanted Cha Laowu to find evidence of Li Dengyun first, so that the big changes in the officialdom would be performed according to his script, and he would take the opportunity to define his circle in the upper echelons.
The Nine Capital Three Tigers were the collective name of the underworld, referring to the three bosses with the greatest influence in the Nine Capital. Although the scar-faced tiger, Zha Laowu, was brave and fierce, he could only be the third in Guanmiao District. Ranked second was Third Master Ma, who occupied several Laocheng District of Jiudu. He was in his seventies and had been involved in grave robbing and other businesses since before the Liberation. Although he was known to have retired after the Liberation, he did take in a large group of disciples. Other than spending a few years in prison during special periods, he miraculously escaped many anti-triad storms. Almost half of the thieves and grave robbers in Jiu Du City addressed him as their ancestor, because a white-haired man was called a white-haired tiger. However, the most glorious one was Li Dengyun, who occupied the most prosperous Xicheng District and riverside district of the Nine Capital City and was known as the smiling tiger. Li Dengyun was not a native of Jiudu. He was from a small place called Tancao County in Qinxi Province, a neighboring province of the Central Plains. Back then, he had committed a murder case there and fled to Jiudu to become the subordinate of his distant cousin, the original boss of Jiudu, Zhang Dazao. Because he dared to fight and charge, he held two gunpowder guns and no one dared to stop him. He quickly became Zhang Dazao's right-hand man. However, he was ruthless. As soon as his wings were fully grown, he immediately usurped Zhang Darao's position and even had a large-scale fight with Zhang Darao's original team. In the midst of the bloody storm, he cut off the best territory in Nine Capital. After becoming famous, Li Dengyun quickly established a relationship with the upper echelons of the Nine Cities. He also put away his fierce face in front of others and welcomed people with a smile all day long. He had also invested in several machinery factories and auto parts factories. He was a successful private entrepreneur, but everyone in the underworld knew his background. His business included making and selling guns, smuggling and selling drugs, abducting women, organizing gangs, and so on. He was almost an evil man. He and Cha Laowu had fought for territory back then, and Cha Laowu still had the scar left by Li Dengyun's gunpowder gun on his forehead.
The first step of the plan was to find out the location of Li Dengyun's underground arsenal. Cha Laowu had already gotten it through his men according to Yang Xing's instructions. He also found that another group of people was also monitoring the situation of the factory. It seemed that the provincial public security department was also casting a net. Yang Xing immediately decided to go to Zeng Xinsheng's house with Cha Laowu to report the situation. Zeng Xinsheng was in his early fifties. Although he was thin, he looked energetic and looked to be in his forties. His figure was similar to Cha Laowu, and his serious expression was also somewhat similar to Cha Laowu. Yang Xing thought maliciously, Could it be that Cha Laowu is Zeng Xinsheng's illegitimate child? Zeng Xinsheng's wife welcomed them warmly and complained that Zha Laowu hadn't come for a long time. Zeng Xinsheng quietly brought them into the study. Zha Laowu quickly introduced his recent situation to him, saying that he had begun to clear his name, and that he was not pretending this time. He now had the support of his boss. " Boss," Zeng Xinsheng raised his eyebrows and looked at Yang Xing in confusion. This young man was so young that he could actually subdue the arrogant Cha Laowu? Yang Xing knew that there was no need to beat around the bush with these old foxes, so he went straight to the point."Uncle Zeng, you know about the armed robbery at the Shangcheng City's credit union, right?" Zeng Xinsheng nodded."The guns used by the criminals were made by Jiudu, right?" Zeng Xinsheng held the teacup for a while and nodded slightly. "What if we found the underground arsenal and figured out the situation?”Yang Xing pressed on step by step. With a bang, the lid of the teacup fell to the ground and shattered into pieces. Zeng Xinsheng did not care about the hot tea that splashed on his hand. He bowed and stared at Zha Laowu as he asked,"Is the news true?" Zeng Xinsheng's wife, who had rushed in upon hearing the noise, was impatiently waved away by him. His wife saw Zeng Xinsheng's expression and realized that the three of them were talking about something important. She left without feeling wronged and closed the study door. This conversation lasted for most of the night, waiting for his wife to send Cha Laowu and his wife away with sleepy eyes. Zeng Xinsheng's eyes were shining with excitement as he said," I'm going to make a few calls. I won't sleep tonight."
In the car, the two of them were silent for a while. Yang Xing suddenly said to Cha Laowu,"Fifth Brother, have you seen the Godfather?" Zha Laowu was stunned. He had seen the godfather's movie, but what did Yang Xing mean? Yang Xing continued," Smiling Tiger is dead for sure this time. You, Scarface Tiger, are going to retire again. Then Jiu won't be White Tiger's world anymore." I don't want to waste half a day's effort and let others pluck the fruit. Fifth brother never thought of being a godfather and helping someone to unify the nine capitals.”"But I've already started washing my hands and going ashore.”Zha Laowu hesitated." No one said that you can't go ashore. However, it's impossible for your subordinates to be of the same mind as you and want to leave together. Those who want to do business will follow you to the company. If you don't want to do it, pick one who is willing to listen to you and let him be the leader of the gang. You just need to step back behind the scenes and give some advice occasionally. This time, if your Uncle Zeng can take this case to the next level, it's better for you two to be in the open and in the dark in Jiu Du than facing that old thing, White Tiger.”Zha Laowu was a little moved and remained silent. After a while, he raised his head, and his eyes flashed like a wolf's." Damn it, since we've already offended Smiling Tiger, we might as well get rid of White-haired Tiger. If we can get this big deal before we go ashore, we'll be able to avoid future troubles. In the future, we'll be able to do proper business with a straight back."”Yang Xing's eyes also flashed with a faint cold light. He said calmly,"To eliminate future troubles, we can't just defeat those two tigers. This time, we've killed three birds with one stone and trampled all of your hidden troubles.”
