Chapter 223: Boss Hong [asking for monthly votes! ]
The quarry covers a very large area. Zhang Danian and Liang Yue climbed over seven or eight hills of varying sizes before arriving at a shady place.
This place is completely different from their miserable and sun-baked place. It is on a shady mountain wall with a cave, which is not sure whether it was deliberately dug out or formed naturally, but it has been dug very neatly.
There were two men with stern looks standing at the entrance of the cave. They should be the guards under Luo Lao. Zhang Danian stepped forward and said a few nice words, and stuffed a silver coin into their pocket, and then they went in to report.
"Can I use money here?" Liang Yue was a little puzzled just now, and now he finally couldn't help but ask.
"Of course." Zhang Danian showed a painful expression, "Why is Captain Chen so generous to family members' visits? It's to give them a chance to send money in."
"But what can we do here even if we have gold and silver?" Liang Yue asked again.
"It has many uses. If you can't pay the debt or offend the boss, you can avoid being beaten by paying money. You have to pay to recruit brothers and show respect to the guards. If you have no money and can't fight, it will be terrible." Zhang Danian shook his head.
"It's impossible to take this money out? Even if we get it, we have nowhere to spend it." Liang Yue added, even if he can be released from prison in the future, he will definitely be searched. I don't know what these bosses want to do by making money here.
Simply bribe the guards?
That doesn't mean everyone should make money like this, right? Not everyone has this need.
"Hehe, you can't take it with you, but there are many places to spend it." Zhang Danian smiled slyly and didn't say anything more.
When Liang Yue wanted to ask more questions, the guard at the door came back to report.
"Mr. Luo has agreed to meet you." He said calmly, "There are several big guys in here, so be careful with your words."
"Thank you for the reminder." Zhang Danian nodded and bowed, as if it was a great honor to be able to enter this cave.
Liang Yue followed him in and saw that the cave was quite deep. There was a place similar to a lobby inside. On both sides stood seven or eight men with gleaming eyes and bulging muscles. It was obvious that they were not good people.
After passing another door, you will reach the main hall.
A short old man in a white shirt sat upright in the front seat. He looked gentle and kind.
There were several men in prison uniforms on the left and right, who looked very imposing. They should be the bosses in the quarry. When they saw Zhang Danian and Liang Yue coming in, they all cast scrutinizing glances at them.
Liang Yue has seen many big scenes, and he remains calm and fearless.
Zhang Danian was a little timid. Even when he had the chance to enter this cave in the past, he would just follow behind others as a little brother. He had never stood in the middle like this.
"Mr. Luo." But he still spoke first, "This is our new team member, Brother Lin, the leopard head. We brothers want to follow him in the future, so we dare not act rashly, so we come to see you specially."
Liang Yue was not arrogant, and bowed, saying, "I have heard of Master Luo's name, and I came here today to pay my respects to you. Please forgive me for my intrusion."
"Oh, not bad." The old man sitting at the main seat nodded. "Looks like a handsome guy. How did you get in?"
"Murder." Liang Yue replied.
He repeated what he had just said to everyone. These were all prepared before he came here, and they could be checked one by one, so there would be no mistakes.
"It sounds like he is a loyal man who was framed." Luo Lao smiled, "What do you think?"
The bosses below naturally looked solemn. There were already many forces in the quarry, and they certainly didn't want another strong enemy.
But since Mr. Luo looked approving, of course no one would disagree.
Then a rough man said, "As long as Luo nods, we will all be brothers from now on. But there are many hills in the quarry, and there are more than just a few of us. Whether Brother Lin can stand firm still depends on his strength."
"I don't want to step on other people's territory. I just want to live a peaceful life with the brothers around me." Liang Yue said that he had no ambitions, and the expressions of the other bosses looked better.
If he just stayed in Zhang Danian's team, no one would bother to pay attention to him.
Another elder brother said, "Brother Lin is so kind, everyone is welcome to come, but like that Boss Hong..."
The people around nodded one after another. It seemed that this group of bosses gathered here today to denounce someone.
Hearing the familiar name of Boss Hong, Liang Yue couldn't help but feel moved. While they were talking, a burst of laughter suddenly came from outside.
"Hahaha!" A familiar voice was heard, laughing loudly, "Zhang Danian, you kid, I was wondering how dare you not give in today, it turns out there's a new boss. I was just saying that since anyone in the quarry dares to be the boss, we should clean it up, but I didn't expect that they appointed a new one!"
As he was speaking, a young man with veins on his arms like dragons strode in. The sleeves of his prison uniform were torn off, his hair was casually tied up, and there was a terrifying light in his eyes.
"Boss Hong?" When Zhang Danian saw this man, he immediately became like a mouse seeing a cat, trembling and said, "I didn't mean to not hand in the money. I just missed the deadline. If I hand in the money later, I will be whipped!"
Liang Yue looked over and his eyes narrowed.
It turned out that the person who came in was none other than Hong Xi, the former leader of the Longya Gang!
……
Hong Xi was Hong Yinsheng's adopted son, and was trained by the Dragon Tooth Gang with outstanding martial arts skills. But later, he became a disciple of Lu Yuanwang, stabbed his adoptive father Hong Yinsheng in the back, and almost caused the Hong family to be wiped out.
After the Longya Gang was wiped out, he was also arrested by the Ministry of Justice. Because he had met many high-ranking officials while helping the Longya Gang, and had a lot of information in his hands, many people helped him. In addition, he was not the main culprit, so not many people were watching him, and he really saved his life.
Although it would be impossible for him to go out again, being thrown into this quarry did suit his temperament.
Relying on his skills in the underworld, he soon became the boss here and prospered. He was good at fighting and had many brothers. Within a few months, he had beaten several bosses around him.
We have gathered here today to denounce him with Mr. Luo.
Not wanting him to get wind of it, I rushed over as well.
Hong Xi walked into the cave with a wild laugh, but his laughter stopped abruptly when he saw Liang Yue's face.
It seems like I have forgotten what I am here for today.
Liang Yue smiled calmly, "Boss Hong?"
Hong Xi's face changed, and he immediately said to the front, "Mr. Luo, he is a government official!"
"Yes, I used to be an official." Liang Yue admitted directly, "But now I work in a quarry, and I am no different from everyone else."
"Impossible!" Hong Xi said anxiously: "I know him..."
He knew Liang Yue's background and was sure that he would not be imprisoned, let alone come to the quarry. He must have other purposes.
"Not only do I know him, but I also have a grudge against him! Your imprisonment is also related to me." Liang Yue paused and said, "But that is a matter between you and me. Today, I hope you can give face to Luo Lao. Once we get out of this cave, I will take whatever revenge you want!"
He said this with great pride, and several bosses around him also showed approving eyes.
It seems that they all share the same hatred for Hong Xi.
"Mr. Luo, listen to me..." Hong Xi seemed to want to say something.
But Liang Yue said first: "What are you talking about? What does our relationship have to do with Mr. Luo? Are you still going to say that I am the son of Liang Fuguo?"
"His real identity is... eh? Not..." After hearing what he said, Hong Xi was suddenly stunned. Why did he interrupt my lines?
After a pause, he continued, "Yes, he is! He is Liang Fuguo's illegitimate son!"
As he followed up on Liang Yue's words, a few bursts of laughter suddenly sounded around him.
Because Liang Yue said it first, no one believed him when he said it.
Luo Lao rolled his eyes at him and said heavily, "Nonsense!"
Good morning.
