The arrogance started from Chinatown

Chapter 100 Bullying goes too far
The courtyard of Hongshun Hall is not small, with a gate at the front and back.

At this time, a carriage slowly stopped outside the back door, the carriage door opened, and a walking stick was stretched out and tapped on the ground.

Then a man in a well-tailored gentleman's suit and a top hat got off the carriage, holding his nose with a white handkerchief and frowning.

I even looked down at my feet, fearing that my clean leather shoes might be stained with something dirty.

"Senator Davis! It's great to meet you." Mr. Quan had a gentle smile on his face, like an ordinary old man you can see everywhere, and he spoke fluent English.

"Why is it always so dirty here?" Councilman Davis asked with some disgust.

"It doesn't affect anything, does it?" Lord Quan said nonchalantly.

In fact, the alley behind Hong Shun Tang was not dirty. Someone cleaned it every day, but there was inevitably a little smell. In addition, there was the arrogance and prejudice of the foreigner in front of him.

"Please!" Lord Quan stepped aside and led Congressman Davis in.

After a while, the two of them sat in a room. The room was a little dim, and Davis complained again: "I don't know why you always like to be in such a dark place."

Mr. Quan ignored him and put a briefcase on the table and pushed it over.

Davis finally stopped his grumbling and smiled.

After opening the box, there were stacks of US dollars inside.

Davis counted it, then frowned and looked up at Master Quan: "The amount of money is wrong!"

"There have been some changes in Chinatown recently. A group of new people have emerged, and our business has also been affected!" Lord Quan sat there, saying calmly.

The Hong Shun Tang was able to control the entire Chinatown and even the opium market in San Francisco for so long, there must be someone protecting them.

Otherwise, those ships full of opium would have been seized as soon as they reached the shore.

The person behind Quan Ye is the city council member Davis in front of him, and the political party behind him.

And most of the opium revenue every year flows into their pockets.

"I don't care about that, and I always thought you were the biggest guy in Chinatown!" Councilman Davis said dissatisfiedly.

"Of course our Hong Shun Tang is the largest, it was in the past and it will be in the future. But these new people who emerged have colluded with the Investigation Bureau and caused us a lot of trouble." Lord Quan said in a deep voice.

When Davis heard this, he had already guessed what Mr. Quan was going to say.

Sure enough, Master Quan leaned his head a little closer, looked at him and said:
"For the sake of our business, I need you to put pressure on the Bureau of Investigation. Those people are dangerous elements with a lot of guns... They should be investigated strictly."

Davis thought about it for a moment, then nodded and went down.

“I hope the money gets back to normal next month!”

"Of course!" Mr. Quan also smiled with satisfaction.

He is different from Chen Zhengwei. He doesn't need fighting. He only needs a few words to let the foreigners suppress Chen Zhengwei, and then he can take action to deal with Chen Zhengwei.

"Today is the day when another hall is merged into Hongshun Hall. Congressman Davis, I would like to invite you to watch the ceremony!" Lord Quan felt that it was necessary to let people know that he also had the support of foreigners behind him.

City council members are the real upper class in San Francisco, and they are not comparable to a few copper buttons of the FBI.

A city councilor was watching the ceremony, which made him feel very proud.

"Well, this is new to me!" Davis thought about it and agreed.

……

As soon as Chen Zhengwei entered the courtyard of Hong Shun Tang, he saw an altar and incense burner with yellow paper on top.

There were many tea tables on both sides, with dried fruit tea on them.

Chen Zhengwei sat directly on the chair at the front and grabbed a handful of melon seeds to crack.

Others followed suit.

"Damn, if you don't know, you would think they are dead. It's so unlucky!" Chen Zhengwei pointed at the incense burner on the altar.

As Chen Zhengwei came in, the people outside could no longer continue chatting and came in in groups of three or four to find their seats and sit down.

The stronger the hall, the further forward it sits.

Not long after, Lao Guidong was seen coming in with a dozen important members of Guangdetang, greeting people along the way.

"Old Ghost Dong!" Chen Zhengwei crossed his legs and shouted, "Congratulations!"

Chen Zhengwei's attitude made Lao Guidong a little confused, but he knew with his eyes closed that Chen Zhengwei definitely had nothing good to say.

Sure enough, Chen Zhengwei's next words were: "It is said that when beating a dog, you have to look at its owner! Now you have found an owner for yourself, I have to congratulate you!"

"Should I also avoid you when I see you next time?"

As soon as Chen Zhengwei opened his mouth, the anger of everyone in Guangde Hall was ignited. Several people stepped forward and glared at Chen Zhengwei:
"Xinningzi, you are here to cause trouble today!"

"Do you have any manners? Lao Guidong, how do you discipline your subordinates?" Chen Zhengwei spread out his hands with a sarcastic look on his face.

"When friends come to visit, we naturally treat them with courtesy. When bad guests come to visit, we are already being polite!" said Lao Guidong with a sullen face. Today was the day when Guangde Hall was merged into Hongshun Hall, and he didn't want to cause any trouble at this time.

"What evil guest? Do you see what this is? Your boss invited me here! Otherwise, do you think I would come here?" Chen Zhengwei took out the invitation and threw it on the table.

Old Guidong snorted coldly, stopped arguing with Chen Zhengwei, and took his people to wait aside. A moment later, Master Quan walked out of the hall, followed by a foreigner wearing a top hat, which surprised many people, and some people in the hall looked at each other in bewilderment.

After all, today's event is for the Chinese community, so why would we invite a foreigner here?
"Congressman Davis, please!" Mr. Quan first extended his hand to invite Congressman Davis to sit down, and then smiled and said to everyone: "This is my good friend, Congressman Davis. He is very interested in the ancient culture of the Chinese, and this opportunity happened to be, so I invited him to watch the ceremony."

Other words, others don't care.

But everyone heard the word "parliamentarian" clearly.

For Chinese people, congressmen are big shots whom they cannot afford to offend.

"It seems that age is still the best!" This thought popped up in many people's minds and they subconsciously glanced at Chen Zhengwei.

There was some sarcasm and mockery in his eyes.

Hong Shun Tang's foundation is not comparable to Chen Zhengwei's.

Chen Zhengwei thought for a moment and realized that it seemed that this congressman was behind Hong Shuntang and was specially invited here today to save face.

He had long guessed that Hong Shun Tang's opium business could be so big, and there must be Americans behind it, and now it has finally been revealed.

Seeing the others looking over, Chen Zhengwei showed a sarcastic smile, grabbed the teacup and poured it over the head of the Xiyi Hall next to him, cursing, "Who are you calling the bully?"

The head of Xiyi Hall was covered in tea and looked stunned.

"Chen Zhengwei, what are you doing?" Abao stepped forward and asked in a deep voice.

"I heard him say something about a fox taking advantage of the power of another. I wonder if he was talking about you... Even if everyone knows that what he said is true, we shouldn't say it in this situation!" Chen Zhengwei said with a chuckle.

"I didn't, don't talk nonsense!" The head of Xiyi Hall hurriedly clarified.

He couldn't afford to offend Hong Shuntang or Chen Zhengwei, and he didn't dare to speak loudly to anyone.

Congressman Davis looked at the dispute in the yard, turned his head and asked Mr. Quan: "What happened?"

"Nothing. Remember those people I just told you about? It's them!" Mr. Quan glanced at Chen Zhengwei.

Although his voice was relatively calm, his eyes were filled with gloom.

Chen Zhengwei is causing trouble at this time, which is a slap in his face in public.

"You came here today to mess things up, right?" Abao said to Chen Zhengwei angrily.

"Abao!" Mr. Quan directly stopped Abao.

Then Lord Quan took a deep look at Chen Zhengwei and said, "Today is a happy day. Whoever is making trouble here is making things difficult for me. Whoever makes things difficult for me, I will not let him have a good time!"

Chen Zhengwei spread his hands.

What does the Xiyitang leader's nonsense have to do with him?
right?
Chen Zhengwei turned his head and looked at the head of Xiyitang, only to see that he was sitting more than a meter away.

"What do you mean? You don't want to sit next to me? Do you have any problem with me?" Chen Zhengwei immediately became unhappy. He picked up the fruit plate next to him and smashed it on the head of the Xiyitang master!

"Don't go too far!" Seeing Chen Zhengwei causing trouble for him again and again, the head of Xiyitang couldn't help but get angry.

Especially when Chen Zhengwei was shot before, he even gave Chen Zhengwei a gift!

With so much bird's nest and shark fin, even if you throw it to a dog, the dog will wag its tail when it sees it, right?

"So what if I bully you? Are you going to bite me?" Chen Zhengwei raised his hand and overturned the tea table. Everyone behind Chen Zhengwei stood up immediately.

The people from Xiyitang couldn't help themselves and stood up, and the two sides immediately became tense.

Abao couldn't hold back any longer, and he and Lao Guidong brought people to surround Chen Zhengwei and others.

It looked like chaos on the field.

"Stop it!" Mr. Quan said coldly, his eyes full of anger. He realized that it was a mistake to send the invitation to Chen Zhengwei.

I originally wanted to use this opportunity today to put pressure on him, and then use Davis's relationship to put pressure on the Investigation Bureau to make the Investigation Bureau take action against Chen Zhengwei.

Afterwards, he sent people to take action and directly defeated Chen Zhengwei.

But I didn't expect that Chen Zhengwei had no fear at all and didn't give any face at all, and just started making trouble here.

"Okay, very good, it seems that you are determined to make things difficult for me today!" Lord Quan said coldly.

"It's not me who is picking on you, it's him who is picking on me!" Chen Zhengwei pointed at the people in Xiyitang.

"It's obviously you who has been causing trouble for me time and time again! Even a clay man has a temper!" The head of Xiyi Hall also said angrily.

"Are you preparing to go to war with our Hong Shun Tang?" Lord Quan looked at the two men coldly.

Upon hearing this, the head of Xiyi Hall suppressed his anger and sat back.

"War? That's so scary?" Chen Zhengwei shuddered. "Forget it, I really can't stay here. The war is about to start. If I stay any longer, I'm afraid I'll be hacked to death here!"

Chen Zhengwei pushed away the people from Hong Shun Tang around him and staggered out.

A Long and his men followed behind with their chests puffed out, staring at the people from Hong Shun Tang all the way, with cold murderous intent in their eyes.

As soon as he walked out the door, Chen Zhengwei's eyes narrowed.
