Chapter 47 Violating Family Rules, Death Immediately Punishable
Finally, Jiang Tiansheng looked at Brother Ji and asked, "Brother Ji, why aren't you eating?"
"Mr. Jiang, I..."
Brother Ji hesitated for a moment as he looked at the Loyalty Pill in front of him.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Jiang, I betrayed the interests of the gang." In the end, Brother Ji couldn't withstand the gazes of Jiang Tiansheng and Qinghu and Ahu beside him, and admitted it.
Forehead!
Jiang Tiansheng never expected that what he had just come up with casually would actually work.
"Brother Ji, what's going on?"
Jiang Tiansheng's expression turned serious.
Qinghu and Ahu, standing to the side, looked at Brother Ji with expressions that said, "I knew it."
Mr. Jiang's information was correct; someone did betray the gang's interests, but it wasn't them, it was Brother Kei.
To reiterate, the Loyalty Pill can only guarantee that they will not betray Jiang Tiansheng in their hearts, but it will not change their personal character or their own thoughts.
They also have their own lives.
Just as Jiang Tiansheng distributed dividends to them as part of the community, this money was meant for their livelihood.
Jiang Tiansheng only wanted their loyalty, not to turn them into his puppets.
"Mr. Jiang, I'm sorry..."
Brother Ji first bowed his head and apologized, then spoke.
It turns out that just a month ago, a man named Liu Yaozu approached Brother Ji.
They said they had a business deal they wanted to do with Brother Kei.
Most importantly, the other party gave Brother Ji five million directly, and Brother Ji agreed immediately.
Later, after the other party's business took off, Brother Kei realized that the other party was running an underground casino.
Originally, he regretted it and wanted to quit, but the other party offered too much, promising him 20% of the casino's profits.
And they calculated that he could earn nearly 300 million a month.
That's three million. In a year, that's thirty-six million, more than the club's dividends.
Based on these interests, Brother Ji ultimately acquiesced.
As for the claim that he betrayed the interests of the triad, it's because this underground casino operated under the name of Hung Hing.
"Brother Kei, do you know that the gang's rules forbid the buying and selling of flour and the operation of underground casinos in Hong Kong?" Jiang Tiansheng looked at Brother Kei with a serious expression.
The family rule against buying and selling flour goes without saying.
The reason why underground casinos are not allowed in Hong Kong is because this door cannot be opened; once it is, many people will start running underground casinos.
Let's not even talk about how many people will lose their families and lives because of this.
How much police attention will it attract?
In the end, the entire Hung Hing will suffer, not just Brother Kei.
Didn't Jiang Tiansheng know that running an underground casino is not profitable?
Look at Taiwan, the Donghu gang earns $2 million a year just from one underground casino…
However, Hong Kong is different from Taiwan. Taiwan has a corrupt government, so there's no need to worry.
But it's different in Hong Kong.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Jiang, I was wrong, I will never dare to do it again." Brother Ji looked at Jiang Tiansheng with a pleading expression.
“Brother Ji, a country has its laws, and a family has its rules. If you break the family rules, I can’t help you. How to deal with you will all be decided according to the family rules.” Jiang Tiansheng looked at Brother Ji and said impartially.
He knew he couldn't make that mistake.
Family rules are family rules, and as the head of the family, he cannot lead the way in breaking them.
If Brother Kei violates the gang rules, but because he is a senior member of the gang and also the person in charge, he is not punished or is given a lighter punishment, what will the people below think?
Do they think that as long as they are senior and have a high status, they can be exempted from family rules?
Over time, the family rules were abandoned.
"Where is that underground casino?" Jiang Tiansheng asked Brother Ji with a serious expression.
"It's over in the West Ring area..." Brother Kei gave a detailed address.
It happened right on Brother Kei's territory in Sai Wan; otherwise, the other party wouldn't have been able to find Brother Kei.
"They're even operating on Hong Kong Island. They'll never know how they died." Jiang Tiansheng glared fiercely at Brother Ji.
Hong Kong Island has many wealthy people; it can be considered Hong Kong's affluent area.
Opening an underground casino in this place would definitely be very profitable, and extremely profitable.
But the same applies.
The casino located here has definitely come under police scrutiny.
Perhaps the police are already watching this place and are ready to take action at any time.
After saying that, Jiang Tiansheng immediately made a phone call to Abu.
"Select someone to take action and wipe out the underground casino in Brother Ji's territory. I'll send you the address in a bit," Jiang Tiansheng ordered.
"Yes, Mr. Jiang."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Tiansheng sent the address to Abu.
After sending the message, Jiang Tiansheng made a phone call to Chen Yao.
"Notify all those in charge to attend a meeting at the club's ancestral hall."
Xiangtang was the former headquarters of Hung Hing.
Since the headquarters moved to the hilltop villa, this place has become a shrine, a place specifically for offerings and ceremonies.
In addition, this place is also the headquarters of the Enforcement Hall.
Normally, if someone in the gang breaks the rules, they will be brought here to be punished.
Ordinary members or "red sticks" of the gang who violate the gang rules can be dealt with by Luo Bingwen.
However, now that the person in charge has violated the family rules, only Jiang Tiansheng can step in.
"Mr. Jiang has called everyone here today. I wonder who has violated the family rules." Inside the incense hall, several people in charge stood together chatting.
There are only a few main things I need to do here.
It's not a day for sacrifices, and no one is performing the rituals.
Even if someone were to take office, there would be no need to alarm so many people, let alone for Mr. Jiang to come in person.
Therefore, there is only one possibility: someone in charge has violated the family rules.
"I don't know." Boss B shook his head.
The Hung Hing family has a very strict internal discipline now, and the lower-level members rarely violate the family rules, let alone the leaders.
Amidst the murmurs, Chen Yao emerged from behind the incense hall: "Quiet."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Tiansheng came out from inside.
"Mr. Jiang."
"Mr. Jiang."
"A country has its own laws, and a family has its own rules."
Jiang Tiansheng stood solemnly before the crowd, his expression turning cold as he said, "As the ancients said, the emperor is subject to the same laws as the common people. The same applies within our organization. No matter who it is, if they violate the rules, including myself, Jiang Tiansheng, they will be punished."
As he spoke, Jiang Tiansheng continued, "Bring the person out here."
As soon as he finished speaking, Brother Ji was dragged out in front of everyone by two members of the Enforcement Hall.
"kneel down"
With a shout, Brother Ji knelt down directly in front of the incense hall.
“Aki, you violated the family rules by collaborating with others to open an underground casino…” Jiang Tiansheng said, one sentence at a time.
At first, everyone was a little surprised to see Brother Ji appear. How could Brother Ji have broken the family rules?
However, when it was mentioned that it was because of an underground casino, everyone's expression changed.
If it's something else, then it's just Brother Ji alone.
However, if the other party runs an underground casino, it's easy to implicate everyone.
Most importantly, this momentum must be stopped.
"Ah Bing, according to the family rules, how should Ah Ji be dealt with?" Jiang Tiansheng looked at Luo Bingwen and asked.
“Mr. Jiang, according to family rules, the punishment is thirty strokes of the cane,” Luo Bingwen said.
"Those who knowingly break the law are guilty of an even more serious crime."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Tiansheng continued, "Sixty strokes of the cane, to be carried out immediately."
"Yes"
Luo Bingwen responded.
Then, open the incense altar and invite the offering board.
The cane, commonly known as the incense board, is made of camphor wood and is about 80 centimeters long, 14 centimeters wide, and 5 centimeters thick.
The incense board has inscriptions on both sides. One side reads "Protect the Dharma," and the other side reads "Violation of family rules will result in death."
"Brother Ji, do you accept this punishment?" Jiang Tiansheng looked at Brother Ji and asked with a serious expression.
"I accept it!"
Brother Ji nodded.
He knew that whether he was truly convinced or not, he would still have to take the punishment.
Since that's the case, you might as well perform better.
"That's good."
Jiang Tiansheng nodded.
Then he looked at Luo Bingwen and nodded.
Then, four disciples from the Enforcement Hall stepped forward, one of them holding a wooden stick, and made Brother Ji bite it.
Then, the two men forced Brother Ji to lie face down on the chair.
The last person took the rod and began to carry out the family discipline.
As the Enforcement Hall began to enforce the family law, the cane struck Brother Ji, and everyone present felt a chill run down their spines.
Apart from Ma Wong-kin, who was expelled from Hung Hing last time, this is the only leader who has been punished.
Unlike Ma Wangjian, who suffered the punishment of three cuts and six holes, Ma Wangjian's condition seemed to be bearable.
However, the way these wooden boards are used to strike each other is truly different.
It looks like just wood, but if you really go all out, it can kill someone.
Of course, Jiang Tiansheng also intended to serve as a wake-up call for the entire gang after what happened to Brother Ji.
It's not about killing Brother Ji.
Luo Bingwen was also aware of this, so after sixty strokes of the cane, Brother Ji was only injured and would recover in a month or two.
"Take it off."
"Yes, Mr. Jiang."
After the caning was finished, Brother Ji was taken away.
"Ah Yao, how's it going with Abu?" Jiang Tiansheng asked Chen Yao.
This time, Brother Ji was tempted by the other party's benefits.
You could say that Brother Kei himself has problems, but since the other party dragged Brother Kei and the entire Hung Hing into this mess, Chiang Tin-sing won't let them off the hook.
"Mr. Jiang, Abu just sent word that the casino has been destroyed and the perpetrators have been apprehended. They're on their way here now," Chen Yao replied.
"Okay, then wait a moment."
As Jiang Tiansheng spoke, he sat down in the chair.
Seeing that Jiang Tiansheng's expression gradually softened, the people in charge present finally breathed a sigh of relief.
What just happened has further solidified Jiang Tiansheng's authority.
"Mr. Jiang, the person has arrived."
Ten minutes later, Abu brought in Big Head, who was holding someone down with him.
“Mr. Jiang, this person is Liu Yaozu.”
Da Tou pushed Liu Yaozu directly in front of the crowd, and the latter staggered and knelt down.
"Gentlemen, I was wrong, please forgive me, I can give you money..." Liu Yaozu immediately began to beg for mercy.
He never expected that his casino, which was doing so well, would suddenly be attacked at his doorstep.
Keep in mind that he opened this casino under the name of Hung Hing.
Although Brother Ji took a share of the profits, he still kept the lion's share.
In just one month, Liu Yaozu raked in 60 million yuan. He gave only 3 million yuan to Brother Ji, but kept more than 50 million yuan for himself.
That adds up to five or six hundred million a year.
But when Abu and his men arrived, everything fell apart. The casino was vandalized and then burned down.
The other party took the money, and then brought me here.
