Chapter 453: Second elder status

Seeing Xiao Peng about to leave, Old Hong hurriedly stopped him and said, "Little friend Xiao, don't leave in a hurry. Since you are here, how can we not have the friendship of a landlord? It's time for dinner, let's have a light meal together. "
Xiao Peng pointed to the child and Feng Jianting beside him and said, "Grandpa Hong, I'm still taking the child. It's not convenient."
Grandpa Ding hurriedly said: "What's the inconvenience of this, A Can, you go and talk to Wanfu Lou, today we have a banquet for VIPs, not foreign guests!"
"Okay, Master Ding." Grandpa Ding's men ran directly to make arrangements.
Grandpa Ding said to the "Mediterranean" just now: "The things here have been handled, and take care of Yan Fang's'Master' and her apprentice." When talking about the word "caring", Grandpa Ding still emphasized. Strengthened the tone,
"Mediterranean" heard a little question, Grandpa Ding nodded to him, and "Mediterranean" did so.
Xiao Peng couldn't refuse, so he followed the old man to Wanfulou.
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "Two grandpas, you are really pompous. It seems that your identities must not be simple. Can I know the true identity of the two elders?"
The two elders glanced at each other, and Grandpa Ding said, "Little friend Xiao, have you heard of the Huaqing Gang?"
Xiao Peng nodded, how could he not hear of the Huaqing Gang when he came to the United States? In the U.S., there is a saying: "If you want someone to be broken into pieces, look for Huaqing; if you want to live alone in endless fear, look for Huaqing!". The Huaqing Gang, like Hongmen Zhigongtang, is a century-old society. The Huaqing Gang originated from the Qinggang.
In contrast to Zhi Gongtang, the Huaqing Gang acted low-key and extremely mysterious. The Huaqing Gang is the most mysterious organization in the world.
Grandpa Ding said: "Then have you heard of Ding Xiaoxing?"
Xiao Peng nodded again. Ding Xiaoxing, one of the leaders of the Huaqing Gang, caused a sensation when he was arrested in 2002. Thinking of Grandpa Ding's surname, Xiao Peng asked doubtfully: "Grandpa Ding, is Ding Xiaoxing yours?"
Grandpa Ding nodded: "It's the evil one..."
"Uh." Xiao Peng was stunned, feeling that this is the gang boss his father.
Look at Grandpa Hong again: "Grandpa Hong, just now Grandpa Ding said that your surname is Zhou, don't you have anything to do with Zhou Guoxiang?"
Grandpa Hong smiled: "Little Friend Xiao is really quick and smart, yes, I am Zhou Guoxiang's father."
Xiao Peng knelt, who is Zhou Guoxiang? Isn't that the boss of Hong Menzhi Court who was arrested last year? Convicted on 162 charges and sentenced to 2,900 years in prison. No wonder you have to change your name, your son is too fierce!
Dare to love you two, one of the young gang and the other of the Hongmen, real Nima cow!
Speaking of Hongmen and Qinggang, they have a long history. They are the two ancient gangs in China.
The predecessor of Hongmen was the former Tiandihui.
The world will enter people's field of vision, and the person who is most grateful should be Mr. Jin Yong. The phrase "If you don't know Chen Jinnan, you will be called a hero in vain" in "Deer Tripod", but it is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. However, there is no definitive statement about the origin of the Tiandihui. Some people say that it was against the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty. As stated in "The Deer and Ding Ji," it was Zheng Chenggong's Chen Yonghua who participated in the initial creation, and some people said that the Tiandihui was a mutual aid organized by the lower classes of society. At the beginning of its establishment, the group did not have the purpose of "anti-Qing and Fuming". Some people said that the Tiandihui was composed of military personnel such as the retired Green Camp, the Hunan Army, and the Chu Army.
But anyway, it is a fact that Hongmen has been circulating for hundreds of years.
As for the Qing Gang, it was first called the Cao Gang. It was established during the Yongzheng period. It is said that the Manchu dynasty organized a group of Hongmen traitors and people from the rivers and lakes in order to deal with the Tiandihui. The forces of the Qing Dynasty mainly consisted of the Heaven and Earth Meeting Hongmen to ensure the safety of water transportation, and they were also rewarded by Qianlong.
Therefore, Hongmen once forbidden members of Hongmen to turn their heads to the Qinggang. At that time, there was a saying: "From Qing to Hong, wearing red and colorful, from Hong to Qing, peeling cramps." However, in order to avoid conflict between the two factions, the two factions were often referred to as the "Qinghong Family", especially in the late Qing Dynasty, when the Qinggang disciples also opposed the Qing Dynasty, so the two factions gradually reduced their hostility. One side everywhere.
Of course, don’t think that these two big gangs are pure underworld. Sun Guofu joined the Hongmen in 1903 and led the Hongmen to make a revolution. In the famous Huanghuagang Uprising in the "Huanghuagang Seventy-two Martyrs" There are 68 disciples of Hongmen. After liberation, Hongmen was divided into two parts: one was transformed into the China Zhigong Party to participate in politics. At the founding ceremony of China, the founder of the China Zhigong Party, Situ Meitang, stood beside the founding leader. Old man. The other part is still outside, continuing the Hongmen gang identity.
Speaking of the fortune of the Green Gang, we have to talk about another person: Yuan Kewen. That is Yuan Datou's son.
As Yuan Datou's second son, Yuan Kewen did not yearn for the restoration of the monarchy like his father and elder brother, and even strongly opposed it. Finally, he was swept out and fled to the Shanghai stock market to avoid the limelight. After arriving in the Shanghai stock market, Yuan Kewen gained complete freedom and joined the youth gang that was very prosperous at the time. Through hard work and his own knowledge, he finally took the position of the leader of the gang, and then began to recruit disciples. The gang’s power expanded and expanded. Gradually it became a well-known big gang in the country. At that time, there was a saying:'There are Huang Jinrong and Du Yuesheng in the south, and Yuan Kewen, the leader of the Qinggang in the north.'
It is a pity that Yuan Kewen strengthened the Qinggang, but he had no good fortune and passed away early. However, the development of the Qinggang has been unstoppable. In that era, the Shanghai stock market had at least 600,000 gang members, and the total population of the Shanghai stock market at that time But three million!
Since the death of the'first hero of the Republic of China' Chen Qimei, his righteous brother President Jiang, relying on his relationship with Chen Qimei, worshipped Jinrong as an old man. With the help of the Qinggang, he launched the '4.12' Incident and completed the'Qing Party After the Jinling government was established, President Jiang gave back to the youth gang. At that time, like Huang Jinrong, Du Yuesheng, Zhang Xiaolin and his like, they covered the sky in the Shanghai stock market and bullied the market. They directly became a legal underworld force and started a political Gang-in-one's gang model. As for Chen Guofu and Chen Lifu, the two nephews of Chen Qimei, the former eldest brother of the Qinggang, they were even more upset.
But Cangtian won’t let anyone go. These three ended up miserably. After the founding of New China, they dealt a devastating blow to the gangs all over the country. Huang Jinrong swept the land for a few years, and died of illness. Du Yuesheng escaped to Hong Kong Island not long afterwards. Zhang Xiaolin was even more pitiful. When the Shanghai stock market fell, he turned to the enemy and was directly assassinated. The leaders of the Youth Gang, mostly followed President Jiang, went to Taiwan to develop, and established a legal society, the "China Security Association" there. The overseas youth gangs formed the Huaqing gang.
Since the Qinggang has implemented the Zen system, unlike the Hongmen, the Qinggang is apprentices and joins the gang. The congregation is commensurate with masters and apprentices, and advocates'Master and apprentice as father and son'. Therefore, the Qinggang organization is stricter and the rules are more complicated than Hongmen, so it is more complicated. Mystery, although its development is hindered by the way of membership, and its scale cannot be compared with Hongmen, no one can do anything about its mystery. It is also because of this that the Huaqing Gang is known as the'most mysterious organization in the world'. In the eyes of the Judicial Department of the Star-Spangled State, the Huaqing Gang and the Italian Mafia have the same weight.
In fact, the same is true. The Huaqing Gang and the Sicilian family are almost equated. The drug and arms sales in the Chinese-American areas of the Star-Tiao Nation are almost all the "masterpieces" of the two major gangs. After investigation, the troublesome illegal immigration problem was caused by the Huaqing Gang.
Of course, no matter how mysterious the organization was discovered, the Star-Stripe Nation launched multiple sweeps against the Huaqing Gang and arrested many leaders. This made the activities of the Huaqing Gang more and more underground and its style of behavior It's even more low-key. It seems even more mysterious.
Ding Xiaoxing was one of the leaders of the Qing gang arrested when the United States attacked the Hua Qing gang. He was sentenced to hundreds of years in prison for various crimes. He is still in the Federal Prison of the Star-Tiao State.
And grandpa Hong’s child Zhou Guoxiang, that’s even more remarkable! It is directly the boss of Hongmen! After he was arrested, his chief defense lawyer Tony Sala said of him: "Every time I chat with him, it feels like facing a saint. He is gentle, kind, caring, and sympathetic to the feelings of others. "Use'sage' to evaluate a gang boss who was sentenced to 2,900 years in prison, 162 counts, and the indictment alone is as high as 137 pages. Do you dare to believe it?
According to the assessment of the Associated Press:
Under the lanterns and narrow alleys of San Francisco’s Chinatown, there is an unknown underground world. Zhou Guoxiang is the leader of this underground world. He smuggles, drug trafficking, money laundering, extortion, Buying murderers and killing people... I have been engaged in violent crime all my life."
Even in 2008, when he appeared in the documentary "The Gangsters", he said: "I entered Taoism at 8 years old, piaoji at 9 years old, piaoji at 12 years old, only to the third grade of elementary school." But speaking of this, he pointed to the camera San Francisco said: "This city, I have the final say!"
In fact, Zhou Guoxiang has been in jail three times since arriving in San Francisco in 1977. In the words of the prosecutor,
the criminal record is so extensive and appalling that it involves almost all possible forms of crime.

In 2003, Zhou Guoxiang was released from prison early because he was a tainted witness, but he was still tracked electronically on his feet, and he was not allowed to engage in any commercial activities or go to other countries. So Zhou Guoxiang said that he wanted to rewrite and be a "normal ordinary person". In fact, he did the same. He went to the community to volunteer and discouraged the marginal youth from staying away from the gang. He even won the "Certificate of Honor for Giving Back to the Community" from San Francisco. , Give speeches to people everywhere, give advice to young people, even write memoirs, sell his underworld stories to Hollywood, want to make a movie, and use legal income to make himself innocent for the rest of his life.
Zhou Guoxiang, who appeared in front of people at that time, was no longer a gang leader, but as a community leader, appeared on high-end occasions and socialized with celebrities.
However, not everyone believes that Zhou Guoxiang will really wash his hands with a golden basin, such as the FBI of the Stars and Stripes. . . . . .
