The Jiang family is a very large family, with three generations living together. The family style is warm and upright. At first contact, it is difficult to imagine the underworld identity of such a large family. On the contrary, it is especially like the kind of family that follows the ancient tradition. This statement is actually true, the hundred-year-old Hongmen is not an underworld in the strict sense. It's just that the organization is too large. It is not controlled by the government and the state, so it is classified as an underworld gang. There is not necessarily a smear in this.

At the beginning of the establishment of Hongmen, the purpose was to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty. Later, he made great contributions to the revolution that overthrew the Qing Dynasty. Tan Renfeng, one of the leaders of the Xinhai Revolution, once wrote: "The success of the revolution (Xinhai Revolution) was planted in the Hongmen Hui Party" and "At the beginning of the movement, only the Hongmen brothers could keep secrets. After the launch, only the Hongmen brothers could listen to the command. "No matter how far or near people are, no matter how dangerous things are, everyone is brave, everyone takes the lead, there is a Wuchang uprising, the provinces respond, and the republic is completed in a few months, and the merit of the army is also the merit of the Hongmen brothers." ”

It can be seen that it is not an exaggeration to be rated as a republican hero of Hongmen that year. It's just that later, with the change of the times and the ups and downs of the years, Hongmen has gradually developed into an overseas Chinese organization that covers many fields and gathers top talents in various industries. Because of its excessive influence, the financial, material and human resources at its disposal have been hated by some Western countries. It is also inextricably linked with a big country in the East, and over the years, under the instigation of people with ulterior motives, it has been put on the hat of a gangster and has become one of the world's five super underworld gangs.

As the saying goes, when the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds. The family business is big, and there are indispensable losers. It's been a long time. Naturally, it will become truly black. It's the same as telling a lie too many times, and it becomes the truth. The current Hongmen is difficult to define in terms of identity. To use a metaphor, it's half black, half gray and mostly white. But no matter how the external identity changes, the idea of "loyalty" in its roots has been inherited to this day and has never been broken.

When Tang Ning arrived, the Jiang family gave enough enthusiasm. Even Old Man Jiang personally came forward to have a meal with Tang Ning, a junior. There was a hiccup on the way. The old man of the Zhou family, who has a long figure and is full of white hair, can still see the handsome demeanor of his youth, accompanied Zhou Yu over. As soon as the two old men met, their noses were not noses and eyes were not eyes, one scolded the old sour, and the other scolded the fat man. Without saying a few words, he pushed the table away from the stool and rushed to the courtyard to fight. The two children were the same, either he picked his eyes or he gouged his nose. Fist to flesh. No one is convinced of anyone's ruthlessness. Youngsters are used to this kind of thing. According to Zhou Yu's private words, the old man, the more he fights his feelings, the more he is solid, and he can't feel the other party's existence without a few fists when they meet.

After the meal, Tang Ning excused himself for the need to rest as soon as possible for the three matches tomorrow, recuperated his energy, thanked him for his hospitality, and apologized for leaving the arena early. Leaving the room where everyone in the Jiang family was, he hurriedly followed Jiang Tao to the bedroom prepared for him. Zhou Yu followed behind with a fart. No one noticed. Zhou Yu followed with a small tail.

The three of them entered the house and closed the door. Tang Ning took a few steps to the bed, sat cross-legged, took out a sign from his arms and threw it on the bed, and said, "Do you two know this thing?"

"What is this?"

"How do you have such a brand?"

Zhou and Jiang were stunned, or very shocked. Growing up in Hongmen, many of the elders and relatives in the family hold this kind of brand, of course, they know it.

"The deacon's number plate is an identifier and is absolutely unique. Under no circumstances can it be lent to others. Even loss is a felony, and you have to be sent to the torture hall. Tang Ning, whose brand is this?" Zhou Yu was surprised, and his face became slightly stern. If Downing picked it up, then the one who threw away the deacon's number plate would have to do something. It is imperative that you know who that person is, and then send the sign back to the family as much as possible.

"Huh, why is the number a zero?" Jiang Tao turned over the sign and said in surprise.

"What?" Zhou Yu's eyes suddenly widened, his breathing was short, his face instantly turned red like blood, as if he had been greatly stimulated, his hand was sick, and he snatched the brand from Jiang Tao's hand. The front is engraved in the shape of a dragon, and the back is indeed a "0".

The fingers slowly slid over the round nicks, as if they were feeling the knife marks with their hearts, and the residual force was going, as if they were taking the opportunity to suppress the extreme shock in their hearts, and sort out the thoughts that exploded in their minds in an instant.

"Invisible Deacon!" the voice was ethereal, as if it was not coming out of Zhou Yu's mouth. Jiang Tao next to him was also stunned by this title.

The appearance of the two made Tang Ning feel it again. The secret of this brand. is also more suspicious of the old man's purpose behind handing over the number zero plate to himself.

"Explain to me, what exactly are your so-called invisible deacons in Hongmen?" Tang Ning said in a deep voice.

Zhou Yu held the sign in both hands and placed it squarely in front of Tang Ning, with an unusually respectful attitude. I almost didn't kneel down and worship.

"I told you before that our Hongmen organization is huge. There are vertical and horizontal crossings. The thirteen bigwigs in charge are the highest talkers. The two dragon heads are also among the thirteen big guys. The rest are the eldest brother and the forty-nine deacon-level staff of the eighty-six inner and outer halls, as well as the heads of various branch halls all over the world. On the surface, that's all there is to it, but it's not. There are also three halls that few people even know about the brothers within the Hongmen, the Dark Hall, the Sharp Blade Hall, and the Tianji Hall!"

"Dark Hall, Blade Hall, Heavenly Machine Hall?"

"Not bad. Let's talk about the Sharp Blade Hall first, how many people are in this hall, except for the big dragon head, no one knows. There are only rumors that anyone who can enter the Hall of Blades is a powerful one, and thaumaturgists are not scarce. It is the sharpest spear of Hongmen to the outside world. Tianjitang, responsible for intelligence reconnaissance, as long as they want to, there is nothing in this world that they can't investigate, and Tianjitang also has unpredictable abilities in feng shui, deduction of good luck and evil, prediction and divination and other occult arts, the specific number of people, hehe, is still unknown. It's mysterious. Speaking of this, Zhou Yu's eyes swept from the zero plate, and continued meaningfully: "The last is the dark hall. The purpose of the dark hall is to supervise law enforcement, not only externally, but also internally. Directly responsible for the entire Hongmen. The status and authority are the same as the two halls of Sharp Blade and Heavenly Machine, and these three halls are above the sixteen halls. And the hall masters of the three halls have the same identity as the thirteen big guys. It can also be said that they are not compiled, not registered, not registered, and hidden in the shadows. And this Deacon Zero card," Zhou Yu accentuated. "It's the identity of the hall master!"

"What?" Tang Ning had a hidden guess in his heart, but when he heard Zhou Yu say this himself, he still couldn't help but let out an exclamation. His eyes widened. His eyes fell on the seemingly ordinary but heavy brand in front of him again. If according to what Zhou Yu said. This sign represents the master of the dark hall, so isn't he just violently excited, this time the game is too big!

"Hurry up and tell me, how can this brand be in you" Zhou Yu couldn't go on. Stared at Downing in disbelief, as if to see him through. Speech has become unspeakable. "Should it be?"

Tang Ning sat there stupidly, nodding his head. said: "Yes, it was given to me by a few big guys!"

Hiss, Zhou Yu and Jiang Tao gasped at the same time. The two looked at each other, and both saw the shock in each other's eyes. This thing is so abnormal! Then the two heads came to Tang Ning's eyes at the same time, and said in unison, "Then aren't you the master of the Dark Hall?"

Tang Ning smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that this is what it means." ”

"The bigwigs are crazy!"

"The big guys are nervous!"

"Yes, they're nervous. They're crazy. But they're fucking playing with me!" Downing jumped out of bed, his big feet slamming on the sign. Then he flew with a kick. The wooden sign shot from a distance and slammed into the door. The little girl who was listening outside the door was so frightened that she almost screamed and hurriedly covered her mouth. After waiting, he put his ear to the door with his hands and feet, and continued to eavesdrop

"Obviously, you bullshit bigwigs in Hongmen are using me as an intermediary! I say, I am not a member of Hongmen, and I have not made any contribution to Hongmen. Why did such a big pie fall from the sky and hit me on the head? If I really become some hellish hall master. Something happened then, and I couldn't figure it out. Once my aunt gets the news, she will watch a bunch of old things that are not ashamed. ”

Indeed, Downing should have guessed a long time ago. But he was too close to his aunt and mother-in-law, and he didn't understand what his aunt's kind of preservation zài meant to an organization like Hongmen. But what now? If he doesn't take the brand, he will take it. I didn't have to take it. In other words, no matter what the other party's specific intentions are, his title of dark hall master is already on his head. Besides, there were so many witnesses at that time. How can you say that you will regret it?

Tangning sat down with his ass in a huff, holding his chin and feeling depressed. Anyone who is played with such a hand will be depressed.

"Oh, Your Excellency. I'm sorry for you to take care of it in the future. Zhou Yu smiled and said with a shy face.

"Get out. Tang Ning gave him an angry look. Zhou Yu jumped out of bed and picked up the sign at the door. I rolled my sleeves and wiped them. Throwing it to Tang Ning, he said: "The process is not important, now this brand is a fact in your hands." Since you haven't gone back yet, I don't think it's as good as this, you can hang the name of this so-called hall master first, and at most you will be done without anything! Besides, let's leave in two days. When the time comes, the emperor is far away, and he can ignore them completely. ”
