Chapter 599 Kaixiangtang
"Soybean juice deep-fried dough sticks, morning tea snacks!"
In front of a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown, there is a cart full of all kinds of snacks and breakfast, and the young man is shouting hard.
"Two deep-fried dough sticks, um, a bowl of bean juice, too." People who are ready to go to work in the past will stop to buy a breakfast from time to time, and the morning in Chinatown is lively and orderly.
This situation is rare even in China. If people who lived in China in their early years came here, they would definitely think that they had come to Laobei/Beijing decades ago.
However, unlike in the past, many shops in Chinatown have been cleaned up, and some places have even been painted. Generally, this situation will only happen during the Spring Festival.
And in addition to the familiar faces that often appeared in Chinatown in the past, there are also many new faces and police cars here. In addition to the lively appearance, there is also a trace of tension.
"Tom, how's it going over there? What's the situation?" In a police car, a seemingly immature [police] was looking at the people walking outside the car.
" Richardson, I'm fine here. They are all Chinese people. What are they going to do?" In a Chinese restaurant, a white man drinking bean juice whispered back.
"Don't care so much. What kind of party these [middle] Chinese people are doing, they dare not mess around!"
The speaker is an old black [police]. He has been on duty in San Francisco for more than 30 years. Naturally, there are many places to inquire about the news, and he is not worried about the situation in front of him at all.
In this ordinary morning, the [police] in San Francisco, the United States, is like a big enemy. All vacations have been cancelled, and countless [police] inspectors, either in police uniforms or plain clothes, shuttle through Chinatown.
For Hongmen, these [police] inspections can be said to be afraid and hateful. Hongmen's internal organization is so strict that they have been here for nearly a century. It's like a mouse biting a turtle, and there's no way to bite.
Although it is designed to eradicate the largest Chinese gang in the United States, Hongmen has long spread to all aspects of the city of San Francisco after a century of development and penetration.
As early as ten years ago. Hongmen began to consciously develop into politics. Several Chinese people in high positions in the United States can more or less find the shadow of Hongmen behind them.
In this case, the United States, including the San Francisco government, acquiesced in the existence of Hongmen, of course, on the list of the U.S. government. Hongmen still belongs to that kind of unstable factor.
"Brother, these scops are on guard again."
In the lively streets of Chinatown, in addition to those American [police] inspections, there are also many strong men. This time, Hongmen opens the incense hall, and it is also necessary to guard against hostile forces coming to make trouble.
"What's so rare? I can see you every few years. Cheer up and be careful of the Vietnamese gang and the Mexican bastards.
A tough-year-old man. Disdainfully spit out a smoke ring at the [police] not far away. In fact, in San Francisco, the gangster and the [police] have a tacit understanding with each other. The more the situation is like today, the less conflict will occur.
"Brother, I heard that the old man of the "big" generation has lived for more than a hundred years and looks like an immortal, but... but he is so old, why does he want to join Hongmen?"
In the past few days, things about Ye Tian have also been widely spread in Hongmen. Many Hongmen disciples can't even figure out how big Ye Tian is, and subconsciously connect Ye Tian's age and generation.
"You know nothing. Those who are more than 100 years old are Master Ye's master, our early boss in Hongmen, Du Yuesheng, do you know? At that time, it was Du Yuesheng, and when he saw Master Ye's master, he would also kowtow!"
The middle-aged man spat at his little brother angrily. He can more or less contact a few real bigwigs, and the source of this news is naturally more [real].
This time, Hongmen opened the incense hall. The scale is even better than the marriage meeting in 1992.
There are more than 100 bosses from all over the country who came to participate in Ye Tian's entry ceremony, and with their accompanying bodyguards, there are thousands of people.
So many people registered in relevant U.S. departments suddenly appeared here, and the local government could not be nervous. They even deployed mobile troops on the periphery to deal with emergencies.
For these actions of the U.S. [police], the people in Hongmen have long been accustomed to it. On the way to enter the core area of Hongmen, various flags have been planted to welcome the arrival of all kinds of bigwigs.
Luxury cars drove in from the back of Chinatown, and from time to time, some people opened the windows and waved their hands to take pictures outside.
However, these people have not violated the law in the United States, and they do not have any criminal record in the United States. With these [police], they are helpless.

Hongmen Xiangtang, in the past, this place was only used for sacrificing or receiving disciples, has been cleaned up today.
In the yard covering an area of nearly 1,000 square meters outside the incense hall, there are hundreds of chairs neatly arranged, and each chair is pasted with a small piece of paper with a name on it, which has been used to distinguish the number of seats.
Because the incense hall is only for Ye Tian, and hundreds of bigwigs from all over the world are watching the ceremony, the incense hall is also set outside the door, with dozens of plaques on a huge worship table.
In the highest and most conspicuous position are the ancestors of Hongmen: Hong Ying, Fu Qingzhu, Gu Yanwu, Huang Lizhou and Wang Fuzhi. They are all anti-Qing leaders in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.
The second row is Wenzong Shi Kefa, Wuzong Zheng Chenggong, Xuanzong Chen Jinnan, Dazong Wan Yunlong, Weizong Su Hongguang.
There are also the top five ancestors: Cai Dezhong, Fang Dahong, Ma Chaoxing, Hu Dedi, Li Shikai and others. The images of these people appeared in a film and television work not long ago.
In addition, these are the cards of the ancestors of Hongmen, such as the five ancestors, the last five ancestors, the five righteousness, the five heroes, the three heroes, the second division, etc., which are worshipped on the table in turn.
In front of these cards, there are also various sacrificial cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks, but there are no pigs. This is because Hongmen was founded at the beginning to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty was naturally to avoid it.
With the passage of time, the bigwigs from all over the country who came to participate in the incense hall ceremony entered the yard and sat in their own positions under the leadership of those Hongmen disciples in short clothes.
The first bosses to enter the yard were all people from all over the country, and the people in the Hongmen General Hall appeared at the gate of the courtyard after they entered.
"The Eighth Master of Xianpai is here!"
"The seventh sister of Yinfeng is arriving!"
"The sixth master of huāguan is arriving!"
"The fifth master of the stoman is arriving!"
"The fourth sister of Jinfeng is arriving!"
"The third master of the family is arriving!"
"The second master of the sage is arriving!"
"The deputy criminal is arriving!"
With a series of shouts, eight men and women of different ages walked into the yard. This was the person in charge of the eight halls outside Hongmen, and everyone was responsible for a stall of things.
Like the deputy uncle of criminal, he is in charge of leading the army, and the second master of the sage is the role of a military division, specializing in giving advice to the uncle. The third master is responsible for finance, food and salary, and the rest of the people are also responsible for their respective duties.
When these outer hall bosses were seated, the shouts sounded again. This time, it was the Hongmen inner hall boss who came in. The first name to shout in was Xingtang Thunder Tiger.
is similar to what was played on TV. The highest status is always the last one to appear. The Xingtang ranks last in the eight halls in Hongmen, and naturally the first appearance is.
Lei Hu's face was a little ugly, followed by Peng Wenguang. After coming in, he bowed his hands a little absent-mindedly and greeted those who had already sat down, and went to his seat and sat down.
The second one who came in was the uncle of the auditorium, also known as Uncle Shangshu, and the next one was the three bosses in the hall, the management hall and the companion hall. It was Du Fei who came in the hall.
Obviously, Du Fei's popularity is much better than that of Lei Hu. As soon as he entered the yard, bosses from all over the country stood up and greeted him. Many of them went out from the general hall and thought about the benefits of the old leader.
"Mr. Zhongtang is at!"
Tang Wenyuan, who appeared behind Du Fei, was also an old acquaintance of Ye Tian, on crutches. As soon as he entered the yard, the whole yard suddenly boiled.
The middle hall, also known as the alliance certificate, is the oath when the incense hall was opened. Generally, Hongmen Keqing held this position.
Tang Wenyuan is the leader of the Chinese business community and has an inextricable relationship with Hongmen. At the Hongmen Family Conference in 1992, he was elected as the uncle of Zhongtang.
Due to Tang Wenyuan's special identity and strong financial resources, more than half of these Hongmen bosses from all over the world have been favored by him, so Tang Wenyuan came in and was full of greetings everywhere.
"Mr. Church, please!" As Tang Wenyuan sat down, the shout behind made the whole audience quiet and turned their heads to look at the gate of the courtyard one after another.
The uncle of the holy hall is also the owner of incense, the master of the opening of the incense hall. He has a high status in the gang but has no real power, but this incense master is different, because he is concurrently held by the leader.
But because of this, everyone wants to know whether the current Hongmen leader, who has been in bed for more than three years, can appear at this incense ceremony?
With the shout, a wheelchair appeared at the door of the yard. In the wheelchair sat a white-haired old man. On this hot day, his legs were covered with a thick blanket.
"It's the president!"
"The faucet is the faucet!"
"Welcome the leading brother!"
The appearance of this person made the whole Xiangtang venue boil again, and everyone spontaneously stood up and applauded.
Although he has been indifferent to the help for a long time, this president is also a person who followed Du Fei's father to fight the world, and his reputation is still above Lei Zhenyue.
"What a hero stranger, the beauty is late!" Ye Tian, standing outside the incense hall, looked at the old man who entered the courtyard and couldn't help sighing in his heart.
