Chapter 2 In the second quarter, I was doing odd jobs between the fireworks and was almost arrested

After returning to Shanghai, Du Yuesheng woke up the dream of "Gang of the Nobles". Du Yuesheng still supported his fruit shop, but the disappointment in love made him addicted to gambling.Rolling dice, betting on odd and even numbers, pushing Pai Gow, and playing mahjong, he did everything. He was once obsessed with betting on one of the 34 games, and the bets gradually increased from small to large.Gradually, he reached a point where he could go without eating or drinking for a day, but it was difficult for him not to gamble for a day. Du Yuesheng and the little bastards depended on each other for life, and life was very hard, but he was a scheming person, and he often came up with some bad ideas to instigate the little bums to make ends meet.He had no money around, so he ordered his wretch partner to take off his pants and let him pawn them in a casino; if he lost all his money, he couldn't get it back, so he asked them to wear his pants to go out, while he slept under the covers.

One day, Du Yuesheng wandered around the Shiliupu pier with a few buddies.As a matter of fact, he asked a man named Agou to take a bottle of tap water and squeeze him into the crowd.When the ship arrived at the pier, it was very crowded.A Gou ran to a pair of gorgeously dressed men and women, and slammed the wine bottle on the ground, and it exploded to pieces with a "bang".Afterwards, Ah Gou casually grabbed the woman's clothes and shouted loudly: "Okay, you smashed my wine, you won't pay me, I will fight with you today!" Then, Du Yuesheng rushed over immediately, gathered around the couple, rolled up his sleeves, and said softly and forcefully: "Sir, do you have something to say, why bother to throw the wine bottle, this little master does business for others, how can he afford the wine?" ? Sir, what do you think we should do?"

As he spoke, he leaned towards the woman.The woman trembled with fright, took out a few banknotes from her handbag in a panic, threw them down, and dragged the man away.Du Yuesheng picked up the banknotes, smiled slightly, counted them with saliva on his fingers, flicked them on the back of his hand with a snap, took out one and gave it to Agou, and then walked away. There are countless beggars and hooligans in Shiliupu, and there are not a few coquettish "pheasants" dressed up in monster shapes, crowded in the crowd to solicit customers. In the dark and dark Shanghai Beach, there are many brothels, which are divided into three and four classes.The first class is "Book House", prostitutes can play and sing, and are good at speaking. Prostitutes are called "Mr."The second class is "Changsan", 70% of prostitutes can drink, only three yuan is charged for accompanying wine, and three yuan is also charged for tea, so it is called "Changsan".Below the third class is "Yaoer", only two yuan is charged for accompanying wine, and one yuan is charged for tea, so it is called "Yaoer".The lowest level is commonly known as "pheasant", that is, prostitutes in the fireworks room. In addition to smoking opium, they just unbutton their clothes and can only make a living by having sex with men and selling their bodies.

Du Yuesheng has been playful since he was a child, his parents died early and no one cares about him, he has tried sex with men and women a long time ago, this trip to Qingdao made him experience the joy of the best in the world, now besides gambling, flirting is also one of the contents of his life up.But he was just a precarious stall owner who didn't finish his last meal. Not to mention "Shu Yu", he didn't even dare to pay attention to "Chang San" and "Yao Er". He could only mess around in the fireworks room.One day, when he came to the fireworks room, a woman about 30 years old, seeing Du Yuesheng's vigor, came over with a smile and patted him on the shoulder: "Hey, little brother, the business is doing well."

Du Yuesheng smiled awkwardly when he saw a stranger covered in blood red rouge and pollen, and said, "Madam, do you need help?" The woman said: "I am the elder sister of Xiaodongmen, I would like to ask you to help me in my shop." "Big Sister" is the old bustard in the Xiaodongmen Fireworks Room, she is quite famous, Du Yuesheng once heard people talk about it.He thought to himself: "Now is the time when I am in despair, it would be nice to find a place to settle down, whether it is a fireworks room or a swallow's nest!" So he also decided to go there.

Over the past few years in Shanghai, the world has trained Du Yuesheng to be able to distinguish between appearance and color.He immediately agreed, patted his chest, and said, "No problem!" Hearing this, the elder sister took out a few banknotes from her pocket, and said to Du Yuesheng: "Okay, little brother, you go take a bath first, shave your head, change your clothes, and come to me." The fireworks room run by the eldest sister is the lowest level of brothel, and it makes a living by soliciting customers on the docks and on the streets.Most of the clients who come and go are local ruffians and hooligans, and there are also some country bumpkins.After Du Yuesheng came here, he worked in the fireworks room, pimped prostitutes, and ran errands to buy cigarettes for clients.

At this time, prostitutes in Shanghai had an unwritten rule, and it was very popular to worship the "ten sisters".The so-called "ten sisters" are not all women, but nine prostitutes plus one man or ten prostitutes plus one man. This man must be a powerful figure in the underworld. Some asylum, so as not to be bullied by clients, in return they play for nothing to their sworn brothers. The eldest sister is quite popular in the underworld, and has close contacts with the three religions and nine streams.Du Yuesheng wandered around in such places, and soon became familiar with a group of rogues.He envied these people's dominance and dominance, and felt that if there was no backing, no power, it would be difficult to get cheap in such a place where snakes and scorpions infested.As long as you have power, you can get rich by doing anything.So, I decided to be a big villain who dared to do something.

One day, after lunch, Du Yuesheng went to the living room to greet the eldest sister, and saw the eldest sister chatting with a young man.This man has thick eyebrows and big eyes, thick head and tiger brain, tall and big, just in his early 20s, wearing a black fragrant cloud gauze shirt and trousers, and speaking in a rough voice, Du Yuesheng knew at a glance that he was a character on the territory.So, he greeted respectfully: "Hello, sir!" "New here?" The man squinted at the strange guy. The elder sister hurriedly stepped forward to introduce: "This is my godson, named Yuesheng. Quangen, you need to take care of him more from now on."

"How old are you?" "17." Du Yuesheng replied. This man named Quan Gen came up, pulled Yue Sheng's shoulders, and tried his back hard, and after a long while, he said: "Okay. This kid will have a lot of promise in the future!" This young man nicknamed "Garden Spring Root" is Shiliupu Yiba, formerly known as Gu Jiatang, who lives in Zhaojiaqiao, Shanghai. He used to grow flowers in Beixinjing, so he got the nickname "Garden Spring Root".He is a thug in the "Little Eight-legged Party" of the Shiliupu gangster group. He is known among the gangsters as the "Four King Kongs" and is quite famous in the Shiliupu area.

In Shanghai, where mermaids are mixed, since the establishment of the concession, foreign ships have berthed at Shiliupu Wharf.The business of selling opium is particularly prosperous, and some owners of Yanzi's Nest are often robbed when doing opium business with local merchants.Therefore, they are willing to pay a high price for a group of rogue bodyguards. The "little eight-legged party" monopolizes Shiliupou and specializes in this business.Gu Jiatang took a fancy to Du Yuesheng, so a few days later he was dragged into the "little stereotyped party". Soon, Du Yuesheng also became the king and hegemony in the "little eight-legged party", shaking up.Whenever there is a merchant ship berthing at the pier, Du Yuesheng will bring a few hooligans to flock to it. If there are merchants who have not paid tribute to the "little stereotyped party", they will stop some of the little fellows in the swallow's nest and domineeringly Open the incision: "You all have shops, homes, and reliance on your back. We drink the northwest wind during the day and eat dew at night. Make way for those who are sensible."

After running on the pier for a long time, these shop assistants also knew that this group of hooligans were not easy to mess with, so they all thought they were unlucky and ran away sensibly, or became the donors of the "little stereotyped party". Du Yuesheng was smart and had many tricks, so he used this method to extort money from some farmers who transported melons, fruits and vegetables, earning a lot of money for gambling and drinking. As a result, Du Yuesheng became more and more complacent and courageous as he became more and more confidant. At this time, there was a family and an inn on Fusheng Street, Xiaodongmen. The store was quite large and the business was very prosperous.Merchants traveling to and from Hankou and Shanghai often rest here to fry some goods and ship them to the mainland.These merchants have been in Shanghai for a long time, and they are naturally addicted to smoking, gambling, and prostitution, and enjoy themselves by smoking a few mouthfuls of opium in the inn.The owner of Renhe Inn, surnamed Chen, saw that it was profitable, so he asked the waiter to go to the ship to pick up some small goods and make up some smoke. Du Yuesheng had been in Shiliupu for a long time, and knew the inside story, so he wanted to make more money by cheating.On this day, Du Yuesheng broke into the Renhe Inn with the little hooligan.With his head held high, Du Yuesheng stepped into the inn, leaned against the cashier seriously, squinted his eyes and said to the cashier: "I'm from the police station. I heard that there are customers smoking opium in the store and selling foreign cigarettes privately. This is against the law. Don't you know?" The accountant is also from Pudong. Seeing that the visitor was not friendly, he hastily offered a "Platinum Dragon" cigarette, and at the same time greeted him with a smile on his face: "Master, please sit down. Our store is well-behaved. cigarette." Du Yuesheng shielded the cigarette from the accountant with his hand, and replied coldly: "My friend, what you said is true? I saw your teahouse picking up goods on the pier, so I came here specially to visit." At this time, a waiter came in, and the accountant asked him deliberately: "Just now, the old man said that we have received small goods in our shop, do you know?" The waiter spoke with a Ningbo accent and said: "Sir, did you make a mistake?" Du Yuesheng lowered his face and waved his hand: "Si, go upstairs and have a look." Mr. Accountant had a ghost in his heart. He knew that this group of plague gods should not be offended, so he hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, and said in a low voice: "Master, why should my family be so heartless. There is something to say!" These words were exactly what Du Yuesheng wanted, he stretched out his palm and raised his hand: "5 yuan is our brother's tea money, otherwise we will go to the patrol room!" "It's easy to say, easy to say!" The accountant hurriedly counted 5 yuan and stuffed it in Du Yuesheng's hand. Du Yuesheng threw the ocean into the air, stretched out his hand, stuffed it lightly into the bag, said "goodbye", and walked away without looking back. As soon as Du Yuesheng left, the accountant let out a sigh of relief as if he had sent the plague god away, and hurried upstairs to tell Boss Chen what happened just now.Boss Chen also came from Shiliupu, and some small person pretended to be a policeman and came to the door to blackmail him.He immediately wrote a letter, asking the accountant to bring some oceans, and called the waiter: "You go to the patrol room right away, and find out the origins of these people just now!" The inquisitors in the police station had contacts with all kinds of religions and streams. When they saw the money and letters sent by people and the innkeeper, they immediately sent people to search after receiving the money. After a while, they found out the details of Du Yuesheng. The patrol room immediately issued a summons to the fireworks room at Xiaodongmen. At this time, Du Yuesheng was in the room of the ninth sister of the ten sisters.He made an appointment with the ten sisters, and he came forward to solve the sisters' problems. If he wanted, the ten sisters would let him choose and play.On this day, he suddenly thought of the Seventh Concubine of Qingdao Muhang, and felt depressed, so he came to Jiumei's room to seek some relief. This Jiumei was originally the daughter of a poor family in Pudong, and came to Fengchenyuan due to livelihood. She was 2 years younger than Du Yuesheng, but she came to Xiaodongmen earlier than Du Yuesheng. Although Du Yuesheng had no parents since childhood, but He was born with delicate features, and he was more serious in his work, so she also had a good impression of him.At this time, seeing him walking in, I also intend to chat with him: "Brother Du, you're here!" Jiumei greeted her with a smile, but Du Yuesheng's expression was not good, she hurriedly asked with concern: "What's the matter with you? Is there something wrong?" Du Yuesheng's parents died since he was a child, and no one cared about him. Hearing such caring words, he felt a warm feeling in his heart, but he didn't say anything, and sat directly on Jiumei's bed, leaned against her and touched her hand Said: "It's nothing, I just suddenly feel that being a human is a bit boring." At this time, although the two of them were not very old, they had grown up in bitter waters and felt the hardships of life. Jiumei was a chicken every day, and she was ravaged by people in every possible way, and her heart was very painful. Hearing these words of Du Yuesheng was also very painful. silent. Sitting like this, Du Yuesheng suddenly pulled Jiumei down on the bed and pressed her under him.Jiumei had intended to make friends with Du Yuesheng, so she immediately hugged his neck tightly, and the two kissed passionately... Du Yuesheng noticed that her hands were groping to undo the cloth button on his skirt, and then, his right hand was grabbed by her again, and was led to her armpit, signaling him to undo the cloth button on the skirt of her armpit. Du Yuesheng touched the knotted face buttons to release the buttons, and opened her clothes smoothly.She immediately put her bare tits into his mouth, and Du Yuesheng sucked hard, with an uncontrollable surge of passion, the two of them breathed rapidly.At this time, Jiumei stretched out her hand to untie his cloth trouser belt, but in a panic, she pulled the slipknot into a tight knot. Du Yuesheng immediately freed her hand, and simply pulled the trouser belt hard, and the trousers fell down. At this time, Jiumei also took off her pants, Du Yuesheng hugged her tightly with both hands, their legs were entangled, and they rolled on the bed... Suddenly, "Bang! Bang! Bang..." came a hasty knock on the door. Du Yuesheng was in high spirits and was in his own brothel, so he ignored it. Kicked away, two police officers rushed in, pointed guns at Du Yuesheng, who was naked and sweating profusely, and said: "You pretended to be a police officer to extort money, you were arrested!" Du Yuesheng was stunned by this sudden scene. After he understood, he put on shorts in a panic, and pointed the black muzzle at him. The attitude of the policemen scared Du Yuesheng into a panic.He had never experienced such a scene before, so he was frightened for a moment. At this moment, the elder sister rushed over after hearing the words, and after asking what was going on, she bowed to and spoke kindly to the two police officers.The two patrolmen just didn't speak, insisting on taking him away.Jiumei also got dressed immediately, and winked at the policeman: "Two brothers, don't be like this, I can serve you well!" In the end, it's a good idea to talk about it, the two policemen agreed to let Jiumei serve for free.In the end, in order to prevent Du Yuesheng from being arrested, Jiumei resorted to her housekeeping skills and "served" the two policemen comfortably and happily.Then, the policeman agreed that the eldest sister would take Du Yuesheng's security for the time being, and then, the eldest sister gave the police house some benefits, and the matter was finally dealt with. However, Boss Chen didn't give up and notified the reporter of "Democracy Daily" to report Du Yuesheng's extortion scandal in the newspaper. On April 28, 1911, the "Democracy Daily" really published a news article with the title "Du Yuesheng, who arrested the house to solve the counterfeit and explored the fraud, filed a case for interrogation". As soon as Du Yuesheng showed his head and feet, he stumbled and felt very annoyed.He had no choice but to stay at the elder sister's place and dare not go out for several days.
