History of Hong Kong Island

Chapter 67

He Dingxian is not so naive as to dream of marrying a rich lady, besides, the rich lady is not so easy to serve, and if he has money, he can marry a beautiful and virtuous estate girl.

He first went to the locker room of the police station, opened the wooden wardrobe compartment, took out a set of spare undershirts and changed it, then folded the uniform and went to the general affairs department, and returned the uniform and keys to the general servants.

"Brother Xian."

"You got promoted?" the clerk put away his clothes, signed the receipt, and asked with a surprised expression.

He Dingxian shook his head, patted the gun pouch on his waist, and said aloud, "It's just a transfer."

"Change the military uniform to plain clothes, that means you've been promoted!" The servant did a good job, showing a flattering expression, handing over a cigarette and flatteringly said: "I will rely on you to take care of me in Yau Ma Tei from now on."

"I'm afraid I can't take care of you in Yau Ma Tei." He Dingxian took the cigarette, flipped it over and threw it into his mouth, and left the general affairs room cheerfully biting the cigarette.

The servant was puzzled: "Leaving Yau Ma Tei?"

As soon as He Dingxian returned to the office area of ​​the military uniform group, he was dressed in plain clothes and attracted the attention of Qian Weishan, Daji, Tan Yaohui, Chen Jiale and others.

"Brother Xian."

"Brother Xian."

The gleaming pistol at the waist caught everyone's attention firmly. Qian Weishan, Daji, A Le and others immediately came forward and asked first, "Sir, smokes."

"Have a cup of tea first."

"Hey, you're welcome." He Dingxian pushed the cigarette away with his left hand, took the hot tea with his right hand, and blew the hot air on it.

"Why, none of them need to work!"

Daji complimented: "Brother Xian, no, sir!"

"Have you been transferred to the plainclothes team?"

He Dingxian sat on the corner of the table, adjusted the crooked hat on Da Ji's head with his hands, and said seriously: "I'm wearing it!"

"Yes!"

"Sir!"

Daji hurriedly saluted.

This kind of person who can't stand up at critical moments can do some small things under his hands, and there is no need to bring them into Hong Kong Island.

"I will be transferred to Hong Kong Island for scouting. I have the opportunity to bring two people into Central. Do you want to go with me?"

"Sir!"

"No, He Tanmu, I'm willing to go." Chen Jiale shouted immediately.

Tan Yaohui also shouted: "I want to go too, Brother Xian!"

"Brother Xian, think about it, think about me."

Qian Weishan said.

The 12 people in this group scrambled to raise their hands to apply, and the people in the next group happened to be resting, watching with envy and excitement.

If not, knowing that good things will not fall to outsiders, people in other groups will loot them.

Even Plantain, who is the leader of the military uniform team, felt his teeth itch with envy.

Plantain knew that it wasn't because the chief didn't support him, it was because he wasn't capable enough.

He Dingxian looked around, put down his teacup with a smile: "Daji."

"what?"

Daji said in surprise.

"I originally asked the officer to take your name away, but unfortunately the officer said that he couldn't bear you and wanted to keep you by his side for reuse, so I pushed you to replace me with the officer."

"How about it?"

Daji felt as if he had been on a roller coaster, blushing, stood at attention and saluted, and shouted: "Thank you, sir!"

"I will be filial to the Sheriff for you."

He is an experienced and tactful old police officer in the uniformed police in Yau Ma Tei. If He Dingxian hadn't stepped in to take the position, he would actually be the leader of the uniformed team.

If another person is promoted for no reason, the brothers may not be convinced. In the Yamen, merit is the first thing to look at, and seniority is the second thing. If there is no great merit to overwhelm someone, they can only be ranked by seniority. people hope.

Now, He Dingxian has become Daji's old superior with just a word, and as long as he is still in the seat, he can always drive Daji to do things.

If Daji was asked to do something, Daji couldn't refuse, and he would come to visit every year during the holidays.

Among the Chinese police officers in Yau Ma Tei, there is no one who will not show face.

"Thanks for your hard work."

He Dingxian patted him on the shoulder.

"It's not hard!"

At any rate, he is promoted to a higher level, and he will soon have to pay more fees. Even if he does not go to Hong Kong Island to develop, the future is still very comfortable.

If you work hard, you will be able to rely on the chief in the future. If the chief is well-off, you may be transferred back to the Kowloon area.

He Dingxian turned his head to look at Qian Weishan again: "Brother Shan, are you interested in entering Hong Kong Island with me?"

Qian Weishan's heart skipped a beat when he glanced at him, and he immediately stood at attention and saluted: "Yes, sir!"

A simple answer made both of them smile knowingly.

Qian Weishan is able to hide a gun at home and fight whenever he sees an opportunity. His character is still decisive enough. Maybe he didn’t seem astute in his previous performance, but he is striking enough in his subsequent performance. Use it to get started.

"Okay, take Ale to the sheriff's office to get the gun, and go out with me later." After He Dingxian finished speaking, he put the hand holding the cigarette holder to his mouth and took a light puff.

Qian Weishan saluted again: "Yes, sir!"

Afterwards, he put down his arm and pushed A Le who was stunned next to him, and A Le came back to his senses and asked in surprise, "Where are you going?"

"The idiot is here!"

Qian Weishan slapped Pony Boy's hat off with a slap in the face, gave him a wink, and left the office area with his little brother who woke up like a dream.

In the office area, the remaining nine team members felt a little lost, and the atmosphere became silent.

He Dingxian flicked the cigarette ash and sighed, "I'm sorry, it's impossible for everyone to bring it into Hong Kong Island, and I didn't run the mission hall."

"Do things well and stand out as much as you have the opportunity."

"Yes, Brother Xian."

"Yes, sir!"

The team members responded one after another.

He Dingxian shook his head and couldn't manage so many, the number of places is limited, and the mentors must choose those who are loyal and capable of doing things.

In his situation, even if he was willing to bribe him, it was useless.

Ten minutes later, Qian Weishan and Chen Jiale walked out of the office with gun bags hanging on their shoulders. They walked behind the chief along the way, taking a step slowly on purpose.

He Dingxian took the two of them to Shanghai Street, where they sat in front of a tea stall and watched all kinds of horses and carriages on the road.

He explained in a deep voice: "In a week, I have something to do. Every morning I bring a gun downstairs and wait for me. Remember to check the gun."

"Yes, sir!"

"Understood, Brother Xian." The two agreed with open mouths.

Qian Weishan remembered the first time the chief touched the gun, and the more he thought about it, the more he was amazed. He was not born strong and didn't have that kind of temperament.

He Dingxian knew that the master gave him a seven-day holiday because he hoped that the matter could be resolved within a week, and he didn't want to delay until Liu Fu was discharged from the hospital.

At that time, I was passive, and it is best to solve it in advance, and go to Hong Kong Island to do business with peace of mind, and seek the next step of development.

"When I get home, I will tell my wife and children about the job transfer. When I have time to pack up and prepare to move, tell me about the family members."

At this time, He Dingxian took a sip of tea and said, "I will find a good house for you. Don't worry about the money. I'll come and see what to do in Wan Chai, right?"

Both Qian Weishan and Chen Jiale had excited expressions, and said excitedly: "Brother Xian, I only listen to you when I go to Wanchai!"

"I'm with you! Detective Zonghua's words don't work!"

Finding a house for them and paying for the house cost an extra 200 yuan a month, which is a small expense for He Dingxian, but it saves a lot of money for the two of them.

To work as a plainclothes worker in Wanchai, the fee and salary of each person is roughly 300 yuan, plus some street oil and water will not be less than 400 yuan.

400 yuan is enough to feed a family of six or seven people, which is a stable middle-class level, but the rent in Wanchai is much higher.

The two uniformed police officers in the Kowloon District were not from Hong Kong Island in the previous generation. They could only rent houses in Kowloon District, and they would be cut off by the landlord when they entered Hong Kong Island.

There are big bosses who are willing to bear the rent for them, and the money saved every month is enough for their children to go to better schools and enough to add a few more electrical appliances to their families.

Supported by the boss, and taken care of by the boss.

It has become a matter of course to die for the boss.

He Dingxian nodded: "Yes."

"Ashan, just pay the bill." He drank the herbal tea, put down the soup bowl, and stood up without looking back.

Qian Weishan took out two dime coins from his pocket, slapped the table and shouted, "Boss, take the money!"

Back then, the old stall owner grabbed a rag, wiped his hands, and walked up with a flattering face: "Mr. Qian, you don't have to pay."

Qian Weishan glanced at him, and said coldly: "Everyone has to pay for tea, why should I not pay? People will think that the police don't pay!"

"Losing my big brother's face!"

After he finished speaking, he didn't say any more, beckoning to take Ale away with him, the heavy gun bag on his waist was eye-catching.

The stall owner stuffed the rag into the pocket of his linen trousers, put away the copper coins with strange eyes, and cursed: "It's more scary to send someone to pretend to be a good person than to see a ghost alive."

"Akun, I will tell the trade unionists tomorrow that you will follow me to Hong Kong Island and start working in the Hong Kong Island area in the future."

……

He Dingxian brought people to the movie store company, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw lard boy checking the accounts, Ah Shan and Ah Le, one old and one young, with guns at their waists, found two vacant seats and sat down in the office area, with sharp eyes looking around.

When Lard Boy saw the gun bags on their waists and looked at the big boss's attire, his face immediately showed joy.

"boss."

He Dingxian sat down and said with a smile: "Don't guess, it's just a promotion, and I will be transferred to Wanchai next week."

"Then boss, do you have something to explain here in Kowloon?" Lard boy is very polite, very capable, he doesn't flatter when talking about business, and he doesn't pretend to be prudish when joking, and he is very comfortable to get along with.

He Dingxian nodded and said: "I'm relieved to hand over the company and factory to you, but I want you to choose twenty brothers who can play with guns and dare to risk their lives."

Lard Boy has a serious expression on his face: "Leave it to me, and I must choose those who are brave, courageous, and poor."

He Dingxian frowned and said, "Okay, remember to tell them in advance that there must be enough water and bullets."

Lard Boy's face was moved, and he couldn't help but said, "Brother Xian, can you ask me what I'm going to do..."

It looks like a war is about to start.

You can't just put a gun on your waist, let the brothers carry the gun together!
This is Hong Kong Island, not a peninsula!

But He Dingxian smiled mysteriously: "I can only rely on my brothers to take their lives to win the position."
