Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings

"Kowloon Walled City?"

When Du Yongxiao heard this, his eyes narrowed.

For him, this place is no stranger to him.

Others at the scene also started talking——

"Yeah, why did you forget about Kowloon Walled City?"

"That's Hong Kong's third-party control area. How to crack down on drugs? How?"

"Not to mention the anti-drug campaign, even the Hong Kong Governor can't control the male thieves and female prostitutes in the entire city!"

What these people at the scene were talking about was not exaggerating.

There is a Boundary Street to the north of Mong Kok, Kowloon, which divides the Kowloon Peninsula into two horizontally. The southern part of the street is called Kowloon, and the northern part of the street is called the New Territories. The east corner of Boundary Street leads to Kai Tak Airport. To the north of Kai Tak Airport is the famous Kowloon Walled City, which is ignored by China and Hong Kong.

The Kowloon Walled City of this era had scattered buildings and criss-crossed streets of all sizes. It was once the most densely populated residential area in Hong Kong and even the world. From time to time, large planes would fly over this area. Later, it was also It became the largest demolition project in Hong Kong.

According to historical records, "Kowloon Walled City" is its correct name, but more people are still accustomed to calling it Kowloon Walled City.

The Kowloon Walled City was expanded in 1847. It was the military garrison of the Qing government in Kowloon at that time. As the British colonized Hong Kong, when the Xie Xie signed the cession treaty that year, it stated that this land in Hong Kong still belonged to China, but The mainland government does not want to go deep into this area to disturb or be regarded as a provocation. It gradually becomes an anarchic den of thieves.

Many people who broke the law in Hong Kong fled here, and then settled here. Because it was ungovernable, drug trafficking, smuggling, murder, and robbery continued, and eventually it became a "three no matter" place between China and Britain. It hides dirt and is lawless.

In 1959, a murder occurred in the Walled City, and the British government shied away from its responsibility in handling the case. In addition, because the British Hong Kong government did not recognize the qualifications of Chinese doctors at the time, Chengzhai also became a concentration of unlicensed dental clinics and counterfeit goods selling points.

From 1973 to 1974, the Hong Kong police sent 3,000 people to forcefully enter the Walled City to eradicate gang forces in the Walled City. The Walled City later "resurrected" from a desperate situation. Reinforced concrete houses were built like mushrooms after a rain. There were serious illegal expansions and unauthorized constructions, and the streets were as narrow as corridors. Residential water comes from eight public water pipes or wells.

Due to the completely unplanned construction, the environment in the Walled City is poor. In the early 1980s, it was estimated that the Walled City had a population of 35,000, and the crime rate was much higher than the Hong Kong average.

In 1984, China and Britain signed the Sino-British Joint Declaration to deal with the Hong Kong issue. In 1987, the two countries jointly decided to demolish the Walled City and relocate its residents.

Before the Kowloon Walled City was demolished in 1993, actor Jackie Chan was allowed to film the movie "Crime" and a group of Japanese explorers were allowed a week to map the Walled City.

To Yongxiao's understanding of the Kowloon Walled City mostly comes from Hong Kong movies in his previous life, but he feels that the content of the movie is inevitably exaggerated.

But now, after listening to the discussions of my subordinates, I finally understand that the Kowloon Walled City is really evil, and police officers like them cannot control the place.

"Superintendent Du, before you became Chief Superintendent, Chief Superintendent Ge Bai also thought about cracking down on the Kowloon Walled City and integrating the entire Walled City into the Hong Kong system and still paying fees. But the result is obvious. The boss of the Walled City, Ding I don’t want to listen to his tricks at all!” Yan Xiong took the initiative to explain when he saw that Du Yongxiao was still thinking.

"In the past, Kowloon Walled City had four heavenly kings, and Lord Ding was one of them. With the constant fighting between the walled city and the outside world, the other three kings have long since passed away, and only Lord Ding is still standing! It can be said that Lord Ding is now He is the emperor of the entire city. If you really want to ban drugs, you must find him!"

"Master Ding? Long Chongding?" Lei Luo, who had been silent all this time, spoke up, "He is not an ordinary person. It is said that he has held team training before, beaten British guys, and killed hundreds of people with a ghost-headed sword. He is known as the Killer of a Hundred People. ! Therefore, it has a high prestige in the entire city!"

"That's not all. I heard that this person knows a lot of evil spells, has practiced Zhuyoushu, and knows how to treat people. If someone has a fish bone stuck in his throat, he only needs to pour a bowl of water and chant a spell to make people drink it. It can melt away fish bones! There is also a very evil hemostatic spell. Once you recite the spell, the bleeding from the wound will stop."

The more Lei Luo said, the greater the reaction around him——

"Yes, yes, I've heard of it too!" Lan Gang also said, "I heard that he also knows how to fight, how to get into a frying pan, swallow hot coals, and be invulnerable!"

The ghost guys next to me didn't quite understand, so the colleagues at the meeting explained it to them in English.

"Oh, God! It's unbelievable. Isn't this Superman?"

"Is there such a magical person in Hong Kong?"

For these ghost guys, they are just listening to legends.

Du Yongxiao does not believe in ghosts and gods, but he believes in strange people and strange things. He also believes that some things passed down by his ancestors are not groundless, such as Zhu Youshu and Shen Da.

It is estimated that Long Chongding relied on these to gain great prestige in the Kowloon Walled City and to stand out among the four heavenly kings. Even if the other three died, he could still be safe and sound, and even occupy the throne and become the leader.

"According to your wishes, this time I will sweep the entire territory for drugs. I can sweep everywhere, but the Kowloon Walled City cannot be moved?" Du Yongxiao suddenly asked.

Lei Luo and Lan Gang were silent and looked at Yan Xiong together. Now Yan Xiong is Du Yongxiao's lackey, no, to be precise, he is Du Yongxiao's "godson". Even if Yan Xiong offends Du Yongxiao, it is "the father beats the child" and has nothing to do with them.

However, Yan Xiong had other thoughts and hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Of course not if it were Chief Superintendent Gebai! Otherwise, he wouldn't have suffered so much back then and was driven out of the city by Long Chongding, leaving him disgraced and embarrassed. Lost everything."

Others nodded.

"Yeah, we all remember how embarrassing he was!"

"A dignified chief superintendent was driven out with a knife!"

"When I went out, I almost squatted on the ground because I was so scared!"

"Everyone in the Walled City was laughing when they saw it! The policemen who came with him were all ashamed!"

When talking about the "visit" to Kowloon Walled City by Ge Bai, the ghost man, everyone shook their heads.

After all, they were armed with guns and fed on royal food, but they were always humbled in front of the people in Kowloon Walled City, which was considered a loss of prestige.

Seeing everyone sighing and lamenting the tyranny and lawlessness of the Kowloon Walled City, Yan Xiong clasped his fists at Du Yongxiao: "As far as I know, the fundamental reason why the Kowloon Walled City has become a chronic disease and a cancer in Hong Kong is that no one can eradicate it! But that was in the past. ! But it’s different now--"

"Why is it different?"

"Because the Ziwei Star has fallen from the sky!" Yan Xiong said forcefully, his voice amplified, "In front of the Ziwei Star, no matter what kind of king he is, or what kind of king he is, he must bow his head and bow his head!"

Everyone was stunned————

Look at Yan Xiong shamelessly bowing to Du Yongxiao: "And you, old man, are the purple star!"
