Chapter 76: Have a Big Appetite
"Stop making noise! ​​Don't disturb the doctor while he's treating patients!"

"That's right, get out! Get out!"

"What a great doctor! He doesn't charge for his consultations!"

The people waiting to see the doctor around also started talking louder and louder. The middle-aged woman walked out angrily, cursing as she walked.

"Everyone shut up! Be quiet! Don't disturb my doctor!" Tang Xue screamed, and the waiting room immediately became quiet.

Tang Xue took a breath and then looked at Zheng Wenjie, her tone softened: "Master, you are back. The young lady doesn't want to be disturbed when she is seeing a patient. Do you want to go back to the room first?"

Zheng Wenjie didn't expect Tang Xue to chase him away. The people around him looked at him after hearing what Tang Xue said. Zheng Wenjie patted his forehead awkwardly and said, "Okay! I'll go back to my room first."

Zheng Wenjie left the clinic and returned to the martial arts hall next door. Seeing Sanjiangshui and Zhao Lei pounding wooden stakes in the martial arts arena, he walked over and kicked Sanjiangshui in the butt.

"Oh, who is it! Master, you're back." Sanjiangshui turned around and saw that it was Zheng Wenjie. He asked excitedly, "Master, what happened? Did they give in? Do you want me to teach them a lesson?"

Zheng Wenjie looked at him angrily: "What lesson do you have to teach me? I haven't even asked you yet, where did you go so early in the morning?"

Sanjiangshui scratched the back of his head and said awkwardly: "Master, I'm going out to clean up."

"what?"

"Uncle Zheng, Sanjiangshui went to collect protection fees from the shops. One shop gave him an extra dollar and asked him to clean the shops every day." Zhao Lei said jokingly.

Sanjiangshui said anxiously, "That's as it should be! It's a waste if you don't make money! Ouch! It hurts, Master."

Zheng Wenjie pinched Sanjiangshui's neck and said, "You are so capable, you still learn to collect protection fees."

"Master! I take the money and do the work. It hurts."

Zheng Wenjie let go of his hand: "You dare to go alone, aren't you afraid of having your legs broken?"

"Don't we still have Brother Bao and the others? Besides, if I don't take them, there are others who will. I can protect them. Master, don't disbelieve me. The young lady said that my Bagua Palm can easily defeat five people."

"Master, can you teach me a few tricks sometime?"

Zheng Wenjie glanced at him and said, "No chance. You can't learn my martial arts."

Sanjiangshui wanted to ask for more but was interrupted by Zheng Wenjie: "Are there many people collecting protection fees outside now?"

"There are so many, including Heliansheng, Quanshengyi, Xinji and so on. According to the rules in Fengtian, this street is under our protection, or in Hong Kong terms."

"If we let those bastards come to collect the protection fee, we will lose face, so I went to collect it."

Zhao Lei went on to say, "And now it's getting more and more chaotic. I've seen quite a few fights in Kowloon this month alone. All of these guys have helped the Japanese invaders open opium dens, brothels and gambling dens in recent years."

"When the Japanese invaders surrendered, they all hid like quails. But in the past few months, seeing that the Japanese had no intention of dealing with the traitors, they all came out again."

Zheng Wenjie said disdainfully: "Even the Governor of Hong Kong chose to surrender in order to save his life and was imprisoned in a concentration camp for four years. Do you expect a group of foreigners to settle accounts with the traitors?"

"Hong Kong Island is ours after all, not those foreigners'. How is it here? Are people living in dire straits? Foreigners don't care. They only care about whether they are living well and whether their own interests are high."

Sanjiangshui nodded and said with dissatisfaction: "Yes, Master, I have seen a few foreigners with their eyes flying up to the sky. Also, those Indians who eat with their hands are disgusting. They are so arrogant when they see us. Ugh!"

Zheng Wenjie shook his head. He could clear out all the foreigners in Hong Kong Island by himself, but he wouldn't. Even if he wanted to kill all the Japanese invaders, he had no choice but to kill them secretly.

Zheng Wenjie, who traveled through time, has experienced the digital age and knows humans too well. As long as his identity as a zombie is exposed, people all over the world will try to control him or destroy him.

There was no way to hide from him, even his former compatriots would look at him with fear and greed in their eyes.

"Zhao Lei, do you want to go and help Lin Bao?"

Zhao Lei was stunned. How could he not help Lin Bao when he had something to do? "Master Zheng, is there anything I can do for you?"

"I asked Lin Bao and Zhang Tianci to be the head of a group. Do you want to go?"

Zhao Lei lowered his head slightly and said hesitantly: "Master Zheng, I want to find a good job, get married, have children and live a peaceful life."

Zheng Wenjie nodded and did not force Zhao Lei. After thinking for a while, he suddenly said, "Then you can help me. Go out more often these few days, go to Kowloon and the island."

"Are there any good houses? Go ask the prices of the tenement buildings. Oh, and since we are still in the military government, try to send some money and see if you can buy some land at a low price." Zhao Lei said happily, "I understand, Master Zheng. I'll go now."

"Why rush? Let's go tomorrow."

"It's okay, Mr. Zheng. I'm free now. I'll go first." After Zheng Wenjie agreed, Zhao Lei left briskly.

Sanjiangshui suddenly approached Zheng Wenjie and asked flatteringly: "Master, what about me? What should I do?"

Zheng Wenjie pretended to be in deep thought and suddenly said, "I have a very important task for you to do."

Sanjiangshui patted his chest fiercely: "Master, I'll get it done!"

"Go and move the armchair to the martial arts arena. I want to see how you are doing with Bagua."

After saying that, Zheng Wenjie ignored Sanjiangshui and went into the backyard. He changed into a black Tang suit and slowly returned to the martial arts arena. The armchair had already been set up and Sanjiangshui was standing dejectedly beside him.

Sitting on the armchair, Zheng Wenjie patted Sanjiangshui's arm and said, "Go ahead. Remember to practice and talk at the same time. I want to see if you have practiced well enough."

Sanjiangshui responded dejectedly, stood in the martial arts arena and took up his stance, explaining the key points of each move and style while fighting.

Zheng Wenjie concentrated his energy and memorized all of Sanjiangshui's moves and formulas.

It was already nightfall, and Lao Jiang turned on a large lamp that had just been hung on the gate with an electric wire, illuminating the training ground.

Tang Xue said with a painful look on her face: "It costs 1.7 yuan to turn on this light for a day."

"It's okay, it's okay. I've already saved money." Lao Jiang said with a smile, looking towards the martial arts field with a look of satisfaction.

In the martial arts arena, only Gong Ruomei was teaching Zheng Wenjie how to fight, move by move. Sanjiangshui had been driven away by her. By the end of that day, Zheng Wenjie had basically mastered the sixty-four moves of the Gong family.

"Okay, that's almost it." Zheng Wenjie said with a smile after finishing the exercise.

Gong Ruomei saw Lao Jiang and Tang Xue standing at the door and couldn't hear what they were saying clearly, so she approached Zheng Wenjie and whispered unhappily, "I practiced for more than ten years in winter and summer before I could master it, and you can do it in just one day."

Zheng Wenjie smiled and pinched Gong Ruomei's cheek: "Isn't it because your master taught you well?"

Gong Ruomei wrinkled her nose and glared at Zheng Wenjie: "Who is your master, huh? Ah Bao and the others are back."

Zheng Wenjie pinched her nose with a smile, then turned to look at Lin Bao and Zhang Tianci who had just walked through the door.

"How about it? Can we take control of Heshengtang?"

Lin Bao nodded confidently. Zhang Tianci said with a bit of discomfort, "Master Zheng, it's almost done. I just encountered some troubles when I took over Liu Hongbo's gambling den, but they have been resolved."

Zheng Wenjie sat back on the armchair and asked after seeing Gong Ruomei bringing Tang Xue back to the backyard, "Why do you look like that?"

"Most of them migrated to Hong Kong Island from Guangdong a generation ago, and I don't really understand what they say."

Zheng Wenjie smiled and waved his hand: "What's the big deal? Just learn it slowly."

"What's the situation at the dock? Do you understand it clearly?"

Zhang Tianci nodded: "Tsim Sha Tsui Port is divided into nine piers. Heshengtang only occupies three piers. In addition, Heliansheng occupies four, and Quanshengyi occupies two."

"What do you think?"

"Master Zheng, I plan to recruit people first. They don't need to pay fees. If anything goes wrong, the gang leader will help them. I understand that most of the coolies will join the gang leader."

Zheng Wenjie thought for a while and said seriously: "You need to explain clearly to them what they have to pay and what they can gain by joining the prefix. Think about it more tonight and tell me tomorrow."

"And the docks. There are only nine docks. Why do we need a three-digit prefix?"

Zheng Wenjie stood up and looked at Zhang Tianci and Lin Bao, one a scholar and the other a warrior: "A real man should have a big appetite! Even dreams should be big! If you want to get rich, want to drink and eat meat every day, you have to set a bigger goal!"

"Now the foreigners don't care, the police don't care, and the situation is still in chaos. This is your chance to make a big move!"

"In one month, only Heshengtang will be left at the dock!"
