Chapter Fifty-Three
"You're crazy, why are you cutting it!" Hua Twelve's actions startled Liu Yi.
Although Hong Kong Island is not under the jurisdiction of the Qing court, some concepts have long been ingrained. Ordinary people basically wear braids and maintain the customs of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Only the revolutionary party or those who have studied abroad and have advanced ideas will cut off their braids.
Looking at his somewhat frightened partner, Hua Twelve said calmly: "Don't worry, this is hk, the Queen Mother of the West can't control it!"
Liu Yi wanted to come up and cover his mouth. He was called Lafayette, but now he has become an old woman. How dare he say anything?
Hua Twelve took out the razor that Chongyang had placed in the dressing room for shaving, took off the bamboo hat, and casually shaved off all the hair on his head, giving him a bald look, so that it looked pleasing to the eye. For some, it will be more pleasing to the eye after the hair grows in two days.
After shaving his head and tidying up briefly, the two of them went out to patrol the streets together. Liu Yi kept looking at Hua Twelve for a long time before asking:
"I asked you, did you lose all your salary again, so you were stimulated?"
While he was talking to Hua Twelve, his hands were not idle. He took off his bamboo hat and gestured towards the street vendor selling sugar cane.
Without him having to say anything, the hawker took out two one-penny coins and put them in the bamboo hat with a bowed head. This was collecting black money. Officially, they called it membership dues and fees.
At this time, the currency of Hong Kong Island is 1 yuan = 10 cents = 100 cents = 1,000 cents.
Therefore, one penny is also called Hong Kong Island Thousand, which means one thousandth of a Hong Kong dollar.
Two cents can buy a bowl of wonton noodles, which is quite valuable now, at least it has much greater purchasing power than two cents in later generations.
Seeing Hua Twelve looking around without speaking, Liu Yi couldn't help but ask again:
"Hey, why don't you speak?"
Hua Twelve said helplessly: "What do you mean, are you stimulated? You are used to losing, why should you be stimulated!"
"That's true."
Liu Yi nodded in agreement, then took out two pennies from the bamboo hat, kept one pennie himself, and sent the remaining one pennie to Hua Twelve.
Hua Twelve waved his hand: "You can keep it yourself, I don't want the money."
Liu Yi said with a smile: "Let me just say that you have been stimulated. How can you pay back your high spirits? Don't wait now and don't regret it!"
"Don't worry, keep it, I won't regret it!"
In the middle of speaking, Hua Twelve suddenly thought of a famous line. He smiled and said to Liu Yi: "If I want to collect money from now on, I will collect 500 million!"
Liu Yi, who was chewing sugar cane, spit it out and coughed repeatedly: "You're crazy, I think you're really stimulated!"
Hua Twelve smiled and said nothing. It was only five hundred million, and it’s not like no one had done it before.
He thought to himself, the current environment is even more chaotic than when Inspector Lei was there. Why can't Hua Twelve, the thunder tiger, do it? (Xia Tian: You mean to convince people with virtue, Qiang Qiang Qiang Qiang, that thunder tiger? Hua Twelve: Get out!)
Hua Twelve felt a little cheerful. The first requirement of the mission was to behave like a human being. Then, wouldn't it be a way out to behave like Thunder Tiger?
However, if you want to climb up, you must have capital support. Especially among the current Hong Kong Island Police Force, the Chinese police, who have the lowest status, need financial investment if they want to climb up.
Just like the current Chinese senior officer of the Central District Police Force, Smith, who is the character played by Eric Tsang in the movie. He is a close friend of Hong Kong Island tycoon Li Yutang. Obviously, he has joined the senior management of the Hong Kong Island Police Force as a Chinese, and he has a close relationship with Li Yutang. Yutang’s strong support behind the scenes is inseparable.
Hua Twelve believes that if he wants to climb up the Hong Kong Island Police Force in a short period of time, he should think about how to get a lot of money.
During the next street patrol, Hua Twelve was thinking about how to make money, while Liu Yi went from stall to stall collecting protection fees as usual.
However, Liu Yi only collected fees from some vendors. As for the gambling stalls, cigarette stalls, and chicken stalls, he turned a blind eye. The fees for those stalls were all collected by Ah San, and most of them were handed over to the British guys.
, Chinese police like them, who don’t even have the right to hold a gun, are not qualified to attack those stalls.
Hua Twelve felt unhappy and helpless about this, but currently all he could do besides raising his middle finger was draw a circle and curse them.
After walking down the street, I saw a crowd of people watching the excitement at the entrance of an alley from a distance, with a few Chinese police officers maintaining order.
Liu Yi also saw the situation over there and said, "There seems to be a big case, let's go over and have a look!" He pulled Hua Twelve and walked over there.
Hua Twelve looked calm on the surface, but in his heart he knew that Hou Sheng's body had been discovered, because that alley was exactly where he did it last night.
The body was found. Hua Twelve expected it, so he was not nervous and followed Liu Yi to the scene to check the situation.
Liu Yi squeezed into the crowd and asked the Chinese policeman who was maintaining order: "What's going on, brother?"
When the other party saw that he was one of his own, he didn't hide anything: "Two people were killed last night..."
When he said this, he came over in a mysterious manner and whispered to Hua Twelve and Liu Yi:
"I heard from the coroner that one of the deceased's ribs was pierced from the back. The medical examiner said that only a bear could do such a great force. You said it was evil, but the brothers all guessed that it was probably something unclean.
.....”
After the Chinese policeman finished speaking, he made an incomprehensible expression towards the two of them that you would understand.
"Real or false!" Liu Yi suddenly became interested. If he hadn't been unable to get involved in this case, he would have squeezed in to watch the fun by now.
"Let's go, there's nothing to see!" Hua Twelve waved his hands to the few Chinese police officers who were maintaining order at the scene, and then pulled Liu Yi away from the scene, who was looking inside.
While walking back, Liu Yi kept discussing with Hua Twelve whether there was some unclean monster committing the crime.
Okay, this guy will be sent to Liaozhai directly. He is a monster, and he is still an unclean monster.
Hua Twelve cursed in his heart, you are the monster, you are unclean, your whole family is a monster.
Suddenly, a figure lying in the corner of the street caught Hua Twelve's attention.
The man had unkempt hair and dirty clothes and looked like a beggar. He was none other than Liu Yubai, the son of Mr. Liu played by Li Tianwang in the movie.
In Hua Twelve's opinion, in the entire 'October Siege', the person with the highest force value was not Chong Yang, nor Shaolin monk Wang Fuming, nor Manchu general Yan Xiaoguo, but Liu Yubai, the beggar opposite.
In the original plot, Liu Yubai single-handedly fended off dozens of Qing assassins, showing extremely high levels of force. Because of this, Hua Twelve specifically searched for information about this character on the Internet.
Liu Yubai, born in 1871 in Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province, practiced martial arts since childhood and became the number one martial arts champion in the Qing Dynasty at the age of seventeen. Later, he fell in love with his father's concubine, which angered his father to death, and his beloved woman also committed suicide in front of him.
Then he abandoned himself, lost all his property, and became a beggar living on the streets of Hong Kong Island.
It was at that time that Li Yutang acquired the Liu family's asset "Jinliyuan" at a low price and gained access to Jinliyuan, and thus became a generation of wealthy businessmen.
Wu Zhuangyuan, Hua Twelve couldn't help but his eyes lit up when he saw him. He took out a one-yuan note from his pocket, walked over and placed it in front of Liu Yubai:
"Mr. Liu, this is for you!"
The confused Liu Yubai opened his eyes, reached out to take the one-yuan note, and said expressionlessly: "Thank you!"
After saying that, he put the money away and closed his eyes again.
Liu Yubai had no intention of talking to him, but Hua Twelve wanted to chat with him: "Mr. Liu, I heard that you are the number one scholar in martial arts. How about we compete one day?"
Liu Yubai didn't even blink, he just said lightly: "I can't block your kick!"
Hua Twelve was startled at first. He looked around and saw that no one was paying attention. His partner Liu Yi also went to collect protection fees. Then he lowered his voice and asked, "Did you see it?"
Before taking action yesterday, he glanced around to make sure no one was around before taking action.
But now that I think about it, I still lack experience. There are no street lights these days, and it is pitch black at night. Liu Yubai spends most of the night hiding in the shadows of the corner, so it is naturally difficult for anyone to notice him.
But since the person he saw was Liu Yubai, Hua Twelve was not worried that he would betray him. This man was sincere and sincere, and he promised a lot of money. Apart from his bad brain that fell in love with his father's woman, Hua Twelve didn't have any serious problems. He was not a tyrant.
