The arrogance started from Chinatown

Chapter 56: Even the Qing court didn’t ban it, so why should he?

The next day, Chen Zhengwei struggled to crawl out from a pile of tangled arms and legs.

"Damn it, why did I have a nightmare about being buried under an avalanche..." Chen Zhengwei cursed angrily. Looking at the women who were still sleeping around him, he pushed them aside and went to the bathroom to pee.

"I have a 1.5 physique, I can still fight four more!" Chen Zhengwei muttered while peeing. Now except for a little sore waist and weak legs, everything else is fine.

"It's almost noon?" Chen Zhengwei pulled aside the curtains and took a look, only to find that it was so late.

I go to the martial arts gym every day these days and get up at four in the morning. I haven't slept so late in a long time.

When I got dressed and went downstairs, I saw Li Xiwen, Yan Qingyou and others sitting on the first floor.

"Weige!"

"Brother!"

"Junior brother, do you want me to give you two big breasts? Then you will know the advantages of women!" Chen Zhengwei smiled and embraced Li Xiwen. He wanted to find two breasts for Li Xiwen yesterday.

It’s a pity that Li Xiwen has a tender face.

Li Xiwen smiled shyly: "Brother, I'll let it go!"

"If you don't have some wine, sex, money and power, what's the point of living?" Chen Zhengwei sneered.

"Master Wei, you're up!" The madam didn't sleep well last night, so she got up early and waited.

"Girls in the building, are you satisfied? The best ones last night are all with you!"

"I didn't quite realize it last night. I'll try to experience it next time!" Chen Zhengwei said with a smile.

"Let's go back first and then have breakfast." Chen Zhengwei had to go back and wash his eyes. It was the medicine that Lin Mingsheng prescribed for him, which was used for eye training. He had to wash his eyes once every 12 hours.

"Brother Wei, actually you don't have to come to this place! I see Miss Wanyun staring at you every day, she must like you!" After going out, Li Xiwen advised Chen Zhengwei that he thought he should come to such places less often.

Chen Zhengwei didn't even go to the martial arts gym today.

"Do you know what love is?" Chen Zhengwei sneered. Wan Yun didn't want to go home and had nowhere else to go, so he could only find someone to stay with him, and no one was more suitable than Chen Zhengwei.

Although Wanyun is young, she actually knows everything very well.

It has nothing to do with likes or not.

"Is one too many or four too many?" Chen Zhengwei asked Li Xiwen again.

"More than four."

"That's it? Even a silly boy like you knows it!" Chen Zhengwei laughed immediately. There was only one if he went back, but there were four here.

Any fool knows how to choose.

After asking someone to go to a teahouse and order some morning tea, Chen Zhengwei went home to wash his eyes first.

"Brother, you didn't come back last night, and the medicine is almost gone..." Qiao Niang said as soon as she saw Chen Zhengwei.

On a small stove in the kitchen, there was a pot boiling medicine.

After a while, Chen Zhengwei washed his eyes with medicine. After using the medicine for a while, he felt his vision was indeed clear and he could see everything clearly.

"Have you eaten?" Chen Zhengwei asked.

"Zhengwu and I have eaten!"

"You guys play in the yard, don't run around!" Chen Zhengwei nodded, and took everyone to the teahouse for morning tea.

Chen Zhengwei took a look at the system and noticed something was wrong with the skill column.

When I looked carefully, I found that there was an additional skill.

Insightful level 0.

"Hey, this skill actually came out!" Chen Zhengwei raised his eyebrows.

I have been practicing horse stance for so long but got no results. I didn't expect that training my eyes would yield a skill first.

He immediately put both skill points into it and upgraded his Insight to Level 2.

Chen Zhengwei felt his eyes getting slightly cold, so he closed them and waited for a moment. When he opened his eyes again, everything around him was crystal clear.

When you walk down the street, you can take in the movements of most people on the street at a glance.

After Chen Zhengwei took a quick glance, he closed his eyes and recalled in his mind that there were a total of sixteen people within thirty meters, all men, four of whom were wearing long gowns and jackets, eleven of whom were wearing two-piece tights, and one was wearing a gentleman's suit...

The man in gentleman's suit had bulging trouser pockets, probably because he was holding a wallet.

Among these sixteen people, three wore leather shoes, four wore cloth shoes, and the rest wore wooden clogs... In fact, many Chinese people wore wooden clogs at that time.

After thinking it over in his mind, Chen Zhengwei opened his eyes again and looked at them one by one, and sure enough, he was right.

"This eye training not only trains the eyes, but also the brain!" Chen Zhengwei was in a good mood.

Just like Lin Mingsheng said, anyone who travels around the world needs to train their eyes. They can tell clearly at a glance where valuable things are, who is wealthy, and who should not be provoked.

Without this ability, you can't make a living in the underworld.

Not to mention the wandering gangsters, even the thieves in the village have their own unique skills.

Everything Chen Zhengwei saw was new at this time. He looked around as he walked. After walking half a street, he recalled a little and was able to recall everything he had seen in this half of the street, including what was displayed in front of each shop and the clothes and characteristics of the pedestrians on the street.

"This ability to see through everything is more useful than any other skill!" Chen Zhengwei thought to himself.

If someone pulls out a gun and attacks him while walking on the street, he will see it at a glance and react immediately.

Of course, his current level of insight is LV2, so what he can observe and remember is limited. It is okay for ordinary streets, but if it is too busy or there are too many people, he can't see those.

And if his attention is mostly absorbed by something else, he might not notice it.

In Chen Zhengwei's mind, this skill of insight has a higher priority than shooting and any boxing skills.

"Senior Brother!" After walking around with Chen Zhengwei, Li Xiwen realized that Chen Zhengwei's eyes seemed a little different.

"What's wrong?" Chen Zhengwei looked over with a smile.

Li Xiwen only felt that Chen Zhengwei's eyes were bright and extremely smart, completely different from before.

"I can't explain it, but senior brother's eyes are different from before..." Li Xiwen was a little at a loss for words and didn't know how to describe it, but he was very sure that Chen Zhengwei's eyes were different from before.

"That's the advantage of women!" Chen Zhengwei put his arm around his shoulders and said, "Do you want me to find two for you? Either plump or thin, whatever you like, I'll find them for you!"

Li Xiwen suddenly became shy again.

After dinner, he went directly to the casino on Tavern Street and asked someone to find Aaron first.

"Brother Wei, are you looking for me?" A'long came to Chen Zhengwei in high spirits.

"Go collect these debts!" Chen Zhengwei put a stack of IOUs on the table. "A total of 5,000 yuan. Once you collect them, you get 10%!"

This money includes not only that from Ansongtang, but also that from Heshuntang.

Chen Zhengwei didn’t have time to deal with it before, so now he hands it over to A’long.

"Okay! I will definitely get all the money back!" Aaron's eyes lit up and he said confidently.

"Ah Hu, go and notify those big opium dens that they will be closed starting today!" Chen Zhengwei ordered again.

"Go and inform the casino owners. I'll have dinner with them tonight and have a chat."

There are eight casinos, four opium dens and two brothels on this tavern street. Only two casinos and one brothel belong to Ansongtang. As for the others, they pay money to Ansongtang every month.

The four big opium dens were owned by three different bosses, but all of them had shares in Ansongtang.

In addition, they also bought their opium from Ansongtang.

A moment later, several big opium den owners who received the news gathered together.

"What do you think he means? He doesn't want money, does he? Ansongtang originally had a share in this opium den, and now that Ansongtang has been chased away, wouldn't it be enough to give that share to them?" said a middle-aged man.

"Boss Sun, this matter may not be that simple! I heard that the opium den on Sullivan Street was closed down by him. It has nothing to do with money!" said another middle-aged man.

Boss Sun was a little surprised: "Boss Huang, are you telling the truth? But what is his plan?"

"We all know what opium is! Those people are cruel and ruthless. They have no taboos on anything else except opium!" said Boss Huang.

"The Qing court didn't ban opium, and the US government didn't ban it either. How could he, a gang leader, ban opium? He's more concerned about the world than the emperor and the president! And opium harms people, but casinos don't? Why is he pretending to be concerned about the country and the people?"

Another man in his thirties started cursing and said that his last name was Li and that he had opened the opium den here because of his relationship with Fatty Li. He spent a lot of money at that time and has not yet made his money back.

Chen Zhengwei stopped him from doing it, and he would lose all the money he invested before!

"Who says it's not?"

"If he says we are not allowed to do it, then we won't do it? Then what about the money we invested?" Boss Sun said angrily.

"If you ask me, he is just forcing us to go to him. At most, we can give him 10% more. I don't believe there is anyone who would not want to make money!" said Boss Li.

After some discussion, the three of them went to the casino to find Chen Zhengwei.
