These conditions were indeed tempting, especially for Xiang Wentian. He had no place to go and no food to eat. If he had such a group of people with him, there would be some room for movement. The problems above could be solved easily. However, Xiang Wentian was not a young man. He had more or less experienced this society for a while. He understood that there was no love or hatred in this world for no reason. If he wanted to break out of this unfamiliar Shenzhou, he had to pay a price. Even if he was the current so-called gang leader, he had to take a great risk.
However, this risk seemed to be worth trying. This kind of mentality was somewhat similar to the revolution of the 19th century. Instead of living in this world, it was better to do something vigorous. However, before a thing was understood in detail, the best way was to be cautious and try to understand it as much as possible to reduce the risk factor.
Xiang Wentian hesitated and said to Old Xin and the others,"Old Master Xin, I agree with what you said from the bottom of my heart. Although I don't know the ins and outs of your line of work, I'm more or less clear that if you really want to establish yourself in Shenzhou, you really need to unite.”
There were two meanings in his words. One was that he was personally willing to join the Beggar's Sect as they said and be their leader to help them unify. Two, even so, he was an outsider and knew nothing about it. He was worried and hoped to know more about it.
Old Xin was an old man who was obedient. He immediately understood the meaning of Xiang Wentian's words. He hastily drew a map of Shen Province on the ground, pointing out the four areas of Shen Province from four directions. He also introduced the leaders of these four regions and their thoughts. Scarface from Red River Region emphasized that this man was originally from Qian Laosan's gang. Qian Laosan had unified the Beggar's Sect in the whole city. Seeing Scarface injured in a fight, he sent him to Red River Region as the leader. Therefore, Red River Region was the most obedient region under Qian Laosan.
Because of this, there was a crack in the Red River District. There was a man called Ming Zi there. He was in his thirties. It was said that he had committed a crime in the past. He was very fierce in fighting. He didn't listen to Scarface in the past. Later, he was taught a lesson by Qian Laosan and was blinded in one eye. Only then did he behave and stop causing trouble. However, we all know that it was only on the surface. In secret, Ming Zi was still unconvinced.
Old Third Qian had only managed to get along with a group of people in Wanli District in the past few years. They were all young men in society. They liked to fight and were ruthless. In addition, they had somehow gotten along with some local officials. Old Third Qian had some influence. The Golden Tripod Hotel was their base. On the surface, they opened hotels and bars as a cover. In fact, they secretly engaged in drug trafficking, smuggling, gambling, organizing prostitution, and doing anything to make money. However, the government did not care, so they dared to do so. Slowly, people who came to Wanli District to open companies had to pay protection fees to them. If they did not pay, they would either organize their subordinates to cause trouble in those disobedient companies or order us beggars to go to those companies in groups of three to five. Think about it, if we hang around those companies all day long, even if we don't do anything to those companies, it will affect their operations.
In this way, some companies were afraid. Although they were reluctant, they would still pay different amounts of protection fees to No. 3 to seek peace of mind. With one company taking the lead, more and more companies followed suit. Who was willing to seriously compete with a local tyrant? Those people came here to make money, not to fight with them. As long as they could really protect him, they would not care much about this small amount of money.
"If Old Third Qian made such a big move, don't tell me the local government doesn't know? The country did not allow the existence of underworld forces in a place. A few years ago, the anti-vice campaign was targeted at people like them.”Xiang Wentian, who had worked in the government before, was a little confused by what Old Xin and the others had said.
"Movement? What was a big commotion? As long as they didn't gather to cause trouble, the local government wouldn't ask. Besides, as I said just now, Third Brother and the others didn't look like they were from the old society. They didn't use any gang symbols. They just followed him. Most importantly, Third Brother and the others didn't just fight. They had support behind them. Third Brother was originally from Wanli District and was familiar with many people in the government. In addition, he had been in and out of the police station a few times in his early years. Some people said that the police station was Third Brother's family. He was as familiar as his own family in and out, so no one would do anything to him.”Old Xin explained Xiang Wentian's doubts, and a trace of unnoticeable worry appeared on his face.
Xiang Wentian's keen observation skills were able to detect this. He shared Old Xin's worries. A strong dragon couldn't fight a local snake. No matter how capable he was, if he fought with a gang member who had already established himself in Shenzhou and had a lot of power, the outcome would be unpredictable. Although he had nothing to lose, he didn't want to leave the city before he found Sally.
"Actually, Little Brother Xiang doesn't have to worry too much. "To put it bluntly, we have to deal with the internal affairs of Beggar's Sect. As long as we can unite against the outside world, even if Third Brother knows about it, he can't do anything to us. "After all, they are all doing well now and have some social status. Unlike us, no one will say anything about us. If he really wants to make things difficult for us, we will all have to fight with him. I reckon that Third Brother won't be able to stand it either.”Old Xin seemed to see the fear in Xiang Wentian's heart and encouraged him.
"Old Xin is right. "Take the people from the four of us as an example. We're all willing to gather together and form a team. If there's anything, we can help each other. At that time, we won't be at a disadvantage. Moreover, they had to give such a large sum of money to Third Brother every month. Everyone was very dissatisfied. If they gave that money to the gang as public funds, everyone would be convinced.”the man called Da Luo said.
"If Third Brother's people can't get something out of us, they probably won't dare to do anything to us. In the past, none of us were their match. We could only be at their mercy. If we wanted to fight, we could only suffer. Now it was different. With Brother Xiang leading the group, they wouldn't have the guts to come. When that time comes, they won't be the ones attacking us, but we'll be the ones dealing with them.”One of the younger ones, Da Zhu, analyzed.
"This point is reasonable. Little brother Xiang, you are our backbone. As long as you are here, I believe that those people will not dare to be too presumptuous. If they can't defeat us, how can they still have the face to come and cause trouble? If it's done well, we can even exempt them from the protection fees we owe them. In fact, there are quite a number of us gathered together, and we have to do quite a lot of things for Third Brother every year. With this, we can challenge him.”Old Xin's brows relaxed a little as he spoke in a higher tone.
To Xiang Wentian, fighting was probably the only thing he had at the moment. He was worried that he had no place to try his hand at it. He had some confidence in this point. From their tone, it seemed that they wanted to use this little ability of his to fight with the person called Qian Laosan. Although a strong dragon could not suppress a local snake, he still had a place to stay temporarily. He did not have to think about going there to make a living tomorrow. As for what would happen later... That was a matter of taking one step at a time.
The few of them decided to do two things very soon. In fact, they were the two tasks that Xiang Wentian should complete if he wanted to join this so-called Beggar's Sect. The first was to subdue the leaders of the other three sects and make them work for them wholeheartedly. They would then form a unified Beggar's Sect. In the future, if they wanted to beg for food, they would be able to cooperate better. The second and most important thing was to fight with Third Brother and the others politely. Only by sending Third Brother and the others away would their sect exist. All of this required Xiang Wentian's personal ability. Because all of these things could not be exposed, the government could not be alerted at all, and no one would want to alert the government. Only these people could carry out it privately and resolve it privately. When everyone felt that it was approved, this matter would be successful.
That night, Xiang Wentian and Goldie stayed in the temple. Old Xin had specially sent his favorite disciple, Tao Zi, to serve them. Xiang Wentian's status as the boss was also explained to the people of Wanli District in the Mountain God Temple by Old Xin and a few others at night. There were nearly 30 beggars in the Mountain God Temple, and they did not have much of an opinion about this. Everyone's reaction was unexpectedly out of Xiang Wentian's expectations. Their expressions were indifferent, and they did not seem to be particularly happy about having a new gang leader. Because Old Xin and a few others were their leaders, no one would object to what they had decided on. It didn't matter who the boss was for these people. Anyway, they all needed to beg for food tomorrow, so their treatment wouldn't improve at all.
Looking at his subordinates, it could be said that his subordinates did not receive much of a warm welcome for him to be their boss. Xiang Wentian's still immature heart was somewhat not as high as before. Some of the children's high spirits had been hit. It seemed that in their eyes, he could not be considered a savior. At most, he could be considered a prominent figure. Thinking about the road behind him, it seemed that he had only taken the first step in the long journey. He was still very far away from the bright moon.
