The arrogance started from Chinatown

Chapter 59 The Old Man is Cold on the Face but Warm on the Heart

After Chen Zhengwei finished speaking, before the others could react, Kou Shuikuan became proud:
"Look, I told you... I said that Master Chen... Brother is not an ordinary person!"

He discovered this by accident.

One night after work, someone handed him two flyers for a foreign stall, which were worth 10 cents.

He also liked to gamble, so he went there that night. As a result, the people who usually gathered at Heshun Hall on Sullivan Street were gone, and instead there was a group of young men in gentlemen's suits.

Out of curiosity, he looked a few more times, and then saw a group of people escorting Chen Zhengwei into the casino.

The group of people surrounding Chen Zhengwei were all wearing black gentlemen's suits.

At that time, he didn't even go to the foreign stall. He asked someone and found out what was going on.

He kept the matter to himself for two days, but he couldn't hold it in any longer so he secretly told other people about it, but he was caught red-handed.

"Junior Brother Chen, you're teasing us again!" The others laughed, then thought about Chen Zhengwei's usual behavior and underworld habits, and then looked at Li Xiwen's somewhat strange expression behind Chen Zhengwei, and some of them could no longer laugh.

"Senior Brother Li...can it be true?" Several people looked at Li Xiwen. Chen Zhengwei often joked, but Li Xiwen didn't.

Li Xiwen nodded.

Several people looked stunned, feeling extremely absurd.

Do they have a gang leader around them?
"I told you guys to help me earlier... How about you come over to my place tonight? It's settled, let's have dinner together tonight. It doesn't matter if you don't come to help me. We are still brothers, so it's only natural for us to get together!"

Chen Zhengwei smiled and made the decision.

"Master..." Several people suddenly stood up.

"Mr. Lin!" Chen Zhengwei turned around with a smile and saw Lin Mingsheng looking at him expressionlessly.

"Xiwen, come with me!" Lin Mingsheng ignored Chen Zhengwei and directly called Li Xiwen to the room.

"Master!" Li Xiwen stood in front of Lin Mingsheng, feeling somewhat nervous.

Lin Mingsheng hates disciples from the martial arts school joining the gang the most.

Although Chen Zhengwei did not set up a gang, what they did was almost the same as what the gang did.

"What have you done these days? Tell me one by one!" Lin Mingsheng said directly.

Li Xiwen suddenly became even more nervous and told Chen Zhengwei everything that had happened in the past few days.

"Did he close all the opium dens?" Lin Mingsheng asked after hearing halfway.

"Yes, senior brother said that in the eyes of foreigners, those heavy smokers are us. Therefore, if we want foreigners to change their prejudice, we have to cancel the opium..." Li Xiwen seemed a little tougher when talking about this.

He also felt that what Chen Zhengwei did was a good thing.

"go on……"

Li Xiwen also said that Chen Zhengwei allowed the women in the brothel to stay or go as they pleased. Those who wanted to go home could buy tickets and those who wanted to stay could also do so, but they had to have a physical examination every month and rest if they were not feeling well.

"Master..." After Li Xiwen finished speaking, he looked at Lin Mingsheng nervously.

Lin Mingsheng didn't show any other expression. After a while, he got up and went back to the house. When he came out, he was holding a pair of short weapons in his hands and threw them to Li Xiwen.

Li Xiwen quickly took it, and heard Lin Mingsheng say indifferently:

"Starting today, you will learn the butterfly double swords from me."

"Yes, Master!" Li Xiwen immediately showed a look of joy. It seemed that the master did not blame them.

The weapons of Cailifo are mostly common folk objects, and any farm tool can be used as a weapon.

For example, sticks, shoulder poles, rakes, and forks.

But there is one more thing, the best for close combat is the butterfly double swords.

Chen Heng, the founder of Cailifoquan, once helped Lin Zexu train his troops. At that time, he passed on the butterfly double swords to the army to deal with the British army's spears and cannons.

When Chen Heng was training the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom army, Lin Mingsheng followed him and learned.

"When wielding the Butterfly Double Blades, the most important thing is your mentality. You must move forward bravely and never retreat. Once you show fear, you've lost half the battle!" Lin Mingsheng said to Li Xiwen.

The disciples in the martial arts school looked at Lin Mingsheng teaching Li Xiwen the butterfly double swords in surprise. You know, Lin Mingsheng didn't even teach them swords and guns, he only taught them boxing and sticks.

According to Lin Mingsheng, learning these is enough to strengthen your body and protect yourself.

But today he changed his temper, and he didn't shy away from others watching. Others could listen if they wanted to, but whether he could master it depended on himself. Many people looked at Lin Mingsheng, then at Li Xiwen, and then at Chen Zhengwei, and had some guesses in their hearts.

At half past six, everyone left the martial arts hall to go to work.

"Senior Brother Chen!" Everyone greeted Chen Zhengwei as they left.

After leaving, everyone whispered: "Master means..."

"Isn't it obvious? Xiwen has been following... doing things recently, and the master passed the butterfly dagger to him..."

"Master, don't you hate us joining the hall? Why did you change your temper today?"

"How should I know? Just go and check it out at night!"

……

At eight o'clock, when Chen Zhengwei left, he still left Chen Qiaoniang and Chen Zhengwu to Lin Mingsheng, and the two had to learn calligraphy from Lin Mingsheng.

I took people to have morning tea.

"Senior brother, why don't you ask me what the master asked me?" Li Xiwen couldn't keep it secret and couldn't help but ask while having breakfast tea.

"What do you have to ask? The old man looks cold but he's warm-hearted!" Chen Zhengwei said with a smile.

He could guess what the two of them said without even asking.

Especially when the old guy later taught Li Xiwen the butterfly double swords, the phrase "go forward bravely and never retreat" hit Li Xiwen's weakness.

It also shows the old guy's attitude.

Chen Zhengwei felt that he could scold him less in the future.

"Oh..." Li Xiwen lowered his head to eat, and raised his head again after a moment, with a tangled look on his face: "Brother, why don't you ask!"

Chen Zhengwei laughed loudly, and then said decisively: "I won't ask! Don't tell me!"

Anyway, Chen Zhengwei is very happy when he sees others unhappy.

For the whole day, Li Xiwen looked like he was constipated.

"Brother Wei, several of our brothers' wounds are infected. I don't know if they can survive!" Chen Zhenghu said while eating.

The most feared thing about an injury at this time is infection, and there is almost no other way except cutting off the infected part.

The cut area is also likely to be infected again.

During the Civil War, soldiers with infected wounds were given morphine directly, because there was no other way to treat them, so they could only be given morphine to relieve their pain.

"How many people?" Chen Zhengwei asked.

Even if the injured person applies medicine, infection may still occur.

Especially since his men had fought several battles in a row, many of them were injured.

"Five...including Shizai. I saw his wounds were festering this morning!" said Chen Zhenghu.

"They are so lucky, I am their boss!" said Chen Zhengwei.

"Brother Wei, do you have a solution?" Chen Zhenghu was a little surprised when he heard it.

"So they are really lucky! Take me to see it after dinner!" Chen Zhengwei said with a smile.

He still has six boxes of Penicillin V Potassium Tablets in his hand. At this time, people have no resistance to penicillin, and bacteria have no resistance to penicillin. As long as these people are not too unlucky, they will not die.

Of course, if someone is allergic to penicillin, then it can only be considered bad luck.

Chen Zhengwei thought that he might be able to get penicillin out. He remembered that it would appear on oranges after they were left for a long time.

As for whether it’s poisonous or not… we’ll know when we tie up a few people and stab them a few times.

We can also recruit some talents in Western medicine and chemistry to do some research.

As long as this thing is made, it will be a huge profit.

As for whether he could keep it... He was always the one who took other people's things... and he would only give them out when the time was right.
