The first rays of light in the morning dim the scene reflected in the pupils.
Lan Xiaoyun woke up from the mahogany bed, lifted the silk quilt covering his body, and the first thing Lan Xiaoyun did was to walk to the next room in his slippers and knock on the door.
There was a knock, but no one in the room answered.
Lan Xiaoyun was lost for a while, and the expression on his face was extremely depressed.
She lowered her head and whispered to herself, "Brother Jiang Feng, where have you been." ”
Suddenly, Lan Xiaoyun heard footsteps behind him.
A look of surprise suddenly appeared on her face, and her frustrated eyes were suddenly full of brilliance.
Lan Xiaoyun hurriedly grabbed his body and looked over: "Brother Jiang Feng...... Oh...... Yes, it's Uncle Yan. ”
Yan Ju bowed slightly to Lan Xiaoyun and shouted, "Morning, eldest lady." ”
Then he turned his body to the side and pointed to the group of maids behind him: "Miss, in three hours, the Gang will hold a council of elders." Please let them help you get fresh. ”
Lan Xiaoyun glanced at the waitresses who were carrying hot water, jewelry boxes, clothes, shoes and other things, and couldn't help but shake her head and said, "I will wash my face and change my clothes myself, let me come by myself." ”
"Miss, please don't do this. Yan Ju bowed slightly and said, "They were invited in by the Zhang family's high salary, just to serve you." If you don't need them, they're going to have to lose their jobs and have to go back to work. ”
"Huh?" Lan Xiaoyun was slightly startled, and just nodded his head: "Okay, I'm sorry for you." ”
Lan Xiaoyun turned around and walked back to his room and began to accept the services of these maids.
In the main hall of the ancestral ancestral hall of the Purple Jade Garden, Zhang Pengyun, who was wearing a cyan horse coat, had already sat on the main seat of the main hall in advance.
Today, he deliberately dyed his hair black, meticulously combed his hair back, held a dragon's head crutch in his hand, and sat on a chair in all directions.
Although after Jiang Feng forced the blood of the blood rock stone to Zhang Pengyun last time, Zhang Pengyun's body improved a lot.
But there is a way that is difficult to return, Zhang Pengyun, who has a perennial loss of qi and blood, has a lot of other problems in his body, except for the loss of qi and blood.
To put it simply, no matter whether Jiang Feng has the ability to return to heaven or not, he has not much of a day left.
Even now, when he sits calmly, he will inevitably experience dizziness and chest tightness.
But Zhang Pengyun had to force himself to restrain himself, and he had to show that he was still in the prime of life in front of the gang elders.
In this way, he could ensure that after passing the Qingyun Gang to Lan Xiaoyun, the elders would not dare to commit any offenses.
To be honest, Zhang Pengyun also knew that Lan Xiaoyun was by no means a good candidate to lead the gang, but he was also forced, and there was really no way.
Of the two sons that Qin Chuhong nominally gave birth to him, none of them were his own.
He Zhang Pengyun is the leader of the Qingyun Gang, a well-known figure in Sijiu City, and he has been wearing a green hat for so many years.
The sad and ridiculous thing is that even if he knew about this matter, he couldn't use this matter to ask Qin Chuhong anything.
The reason is very simple, family ugliness should not be publicized. He, Zhang Pengyun, couldn't bear the fact that others called him "Lao Wang Ba" behind his back.
So even if there is a thousand humiliations in his heart, he can only knock out his teeth and swallow blood.
Thinking of this, Zhang Pengyun sighed slightly.
Originally, the Jiang Feng brought by Xiaoyun before, not to mention the talent, according to Yan Ju, he was probably stronger than him.
If such a person is willing to assist Xiaoyun wholeheartedly, then Zhang Pengyun can also rest assured.
But in the past two days, I don't know why, the one named Jiang Feng suddenly disappeared.
Zhang Pengyun is satisfied with this person's personality, temperament, and ability, but he doesn't greet Zhang Pengyun when he leaves, and he doesn't like it in his heart, which is too unexplained.
As time went by, finally the first elder Zhang Xinian came to the ancestral hall.
According to the seniority, Zhang Pengyun still has to call Zhang Xinian an uncle.
But after Zhang Xinian saw Zhang Pengyun, he was the first to execute, and shouted at him: "Help master." ”
Zhang Pengyun bowed slightly, and pointed to the first position under his left hand: "Uncle is really early, please sit down." ”
Zhang Xinian looked at Zhang Pengyun's position, and his brows suddenly furrowed.
As we all know, this seating order has always been respected. In addition to the main position, the first position under the right hand is the highest position.
In the past, Zhang Xinian sat in that position, but now Zhang Pengyun pointed him to the first position under his left hand, didn't he mean to embarrass him?
However, Zhang Xinian didn't dare to say anything to Zhang Pengyun, so he walked directly to the position pointed by Zhang Pengyun and sat down with a straight face.
Zhang Pengyun shouted in a low and powerful voice: "Come on, look at the tea!"
A disciple of the Qingyun Gang brought tea over, Zhang Xinian didn't even look at it, and his face was pale.
After that, the elders of the Qingyun Gang came one after another.
By nine o'clock in the morning, all twelve elders had arrived. Although everyone had already taken their seats, the first seat under Zhang Pengyun's right hand was still vacant, and no one was going to sit down.
Everyone was staring at the position, wanting to see who it was for.
At this moment, Zhang Pengyun stood up with a dragon's head cane, his eyes swept over the twelve elders one by one, and then said: "Today is the annual elder meeting of this gang, and Pengyun would like to thank all the elders for coming to cheer for it. ”
After speaking, Zhang Pengyun saluted the elders.
The twelve elders didn't dare to make a big deal in this matter, so they quickly stood up one after another and returned the salute to Zhang Pengyun: "The helper is too polite." "Be kind to the owner......"
After a salute, Zhang Pengyun said: "A few days ago, Pengyun was unwell, and the affairs of the help were all thanks to the elders, and Pengyun thanked him again." ”
After speaking, Zhang Pengyun hugged the elders again.
The elders returned the salute one after another: "It should be, it should be." "We're also part of the gang, so it's only natural to share the burden for the gang leader. ”
After Zhang Pengyun finished speaking, he suddenly hit the ground with the dragon's head cane, and his face suddenly became serious.
"I should thank you, Pengyun has thanked you here. But what should be said, Pengyun will not hide it. Since the Republic of China, the gang has made a rule, first, not to buy and sell drugs, opium/film, second, not to bully others, not to take advantage of the situation, third, not to seduce sisters-in-law, and fourth, not to betray the gang.
Which of the people under the hands of the first and third articles have committed it, admit it yourself. ”
As soon as Zhang Pengyun said this, the expression on the elder's face changed color in unison.
They glanced at each other, and finally the second elder Zhang Wanli stood up first: "Helper, my second son who is not angry has committed the third one, and I will break one of his legs as punishment when I go back." ”
Then the sixth elder Zhang Tianfu also stood up and said, "Helper, that disciple under my hand, Wang San'er, has committed the first one. After I went back, I carried out the family law and expelled him from the gang after three swords and six holes. ”
Zhang Pengyun bowed slightly after hearing this, and then said slowly: "Actually, these are trivial things, but the reason why the Qingyun Gang has been able to inherit it to this day is because of abiding by the rules. The word 'rules' must not be messed up.
Of course, the elders are not only here today. First, the benefits of this gang are good this year, and I have ordered someone to deposit the dividends of the elders into your card, and you can see the specific amount when you go back.
In addition, although I have recovered a lot, I have been seriously ill after all, so I want to recuperate more. I don't have time to deal with the affairs of the gang for the time being. Therefore, I decided to let the young people try this position.
Elders, I hope that you will take care of those I have chosen at that time. ”
"Of course, the person selected by the gang leader must be the dragon and phoenix among the people, and we will do our best to assist and strive to make the Qingyun Gang prosperous!"
Zhang Xinian, who was still unhappy before, saw that Zhang Pengyun had given way to the first position under his right hand, and immediately understood that he had misunderstood Zhang Pengyun, and quickly stood up to show his loyalty.
To say that Zhang Pengyun is also powerful, the previous words of grace and power can be regarded as paving the way for Lan Xiaoyun's appearance.
As soon as Zhang Xinian's words came out, all the elders echoed him.
Zhang Pengyun smiled and said "thank you" to everyone, and then shouted loudly: "Xiaoyun, come in and meet your uncles." ”
Hearing Zhang Pengyun call him "Xiaoyun", the elders were still puzzled.
Zhang Pengyun has a total of two sons, the eldest son is called Zhang Zhan, and the younger son is called Zhang Yi. Where is there a "little cloud".
Could it be that the position of the leader of this lineage is going to change course today?
Soon, Lan Xiaoyun, who was wearing a black suit, was in a hurry with a bow at the neckline, and was dressed as neatly as possible into the ancestral hall.
She kept telling herself in her heart not to be nervous, but as soon as she approached the ancestral hall, she received the gazes of the elders.
Lan Xiaoyun still couldn't help but be nervous, and in her nervous mood, she even became a little unnatural when she walked.
Bang!
Great Elder Zhang Xinian slapped the table first, stood up with a "pout", pointed at Lan Xiaoyun and asked Zhang Pengyun: "Helper, you said that the person who asked you to pass on the position of helper can't be this little girl, right?"
Zhang Pengyun frowned, and looked at Zhang Xinian coldly: "She is my Zhang Pengyun's biological daughter Zhang Xiaoyun, not a little girl." Great Elder, you are an elder, so be careful when you speak. ”
"Do you want to pay attention to proportion? You let this yellow-haired girl be our boss, let us old guys listen to her command, do you think you are too measured?"
"My Qingyun Gang has always been a son inheriting his father's business, Xiaoyun is my biological daughter, I passed on the position of the gang leader to her, and she is worthy of the world and the ancestors. Who are you? It's your turn to tell you here?"
"Zhang Pengyun, you ......" Zhang Xinian suddenly became angry.
Zhang Wanli, who had just said that he was going back to break his son's leg, stood up and pulled Zhang Xinian, and then he said to Zhang Pengyun: "Helper, Great Elder, he is indeed a little impulsive when he speaks, but we don't quite understand.
Zhan'er is also eighteen years old, why don't you let him take your burden, but you want to choose this ......"
"Yes, my Qin family also wants to know why. What's wrong with my nephew, you Zhang Pengyun would rather choose this wild girl of unknown origin than my nephew Zhan'er. ”
While speaking, Qin Yu, the contemporary helmsman of the Qin family, walked into the ancestral hall with Qin Chuhong and Qin Mengyao in a menacing manner.
