Chapter 173: Qualified Leader
Zhao Shanhe staggered in shock, took two steps back and bumped into the other three elders who got up at the same time, twitched the corners of his mouth, and subconsciously made a movement with his right hand to pull out a gun.
Originally, his action didn't matter, because in front of many masters, even if he really took out the gun, it was useless, and the people in this room could take out two of them at random and defuse them before he could shoot.
But Xiao Yi's face changed greatly, and he shouted: "Slow! ”
But the gun still went off, Zhao Sanhe's eyes were full of unwillingness and despair, and with a hint of resentment, he slowly slid down the body of an elder behind him towards the ground, and blood gushed out from his ears.
"Phew, I misjudged you, I didn't expect you to be such a person!" An elder behind Zhao Sanhe, the gun in his hand was still smoking, and it was he who unexpectedly pierced Zhao Shanhe's temple.
"Hmph, Elder Qian, you're so quick to reach out!"
Xiao Yifang's loud shout just now was aimed at this Elder Qian, he calculated everything, but he never calculated that Elder Qian would suddenly attack Zhao Shanhe.
Elder Qian ignored Xiao Yi's playful eyes, and gave Zheng Yi a salute and said: "Big brother in charge, Zhao Shanhe assassinated the head of the house, plotted rebellion and usurpation, and just tried to fight the trapped beast, and the gaffe was in danger, Qian had no choice but to kill him without authorization, and ask the big brother in charge to deal with it!" ”
Zheng Yi glanced at Elder Qian, and then looked at Zhao Shanhe's corpse, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, waved his hand, and said in a somewhat hoarse tone: "That's it, let's go down, I'm tired, I want to be alone for a while, take Shanhe's corpse down, bury it thickly, don't embarrass his family." ”
"Yes!" The other three elders stood up and saluted, then turned and strode away.
Just as the three elders walked out, the "female killer" who was covered in bruises also stood up from the ground, as if it was fine, bowed slightly to Xiao Yi, and said, "Brother Xiao." Xiao Yi nodded and said, "This makeup painting is good, you Team Leader Han really can't see that you still have this ability, it's hard work, let's go down first." "Yes, Brother Xiao." It turned out that the "female killer" was a member of the Feng Group, pretending to be a member.
After the member of the Feng Group left, Xiao Yi also sighed, got up to say goodbye and was about to leave, but was stopped by Zheng Yi, "Mr. Evil Wolf stays, the old man has something to say to you, Xiao Yong also stays." ”
Xiao Yi was stunned, motioned for Zhao Zhidong and the others to leave, and he and Wei Yong stayed, sat quietly next to Zheng Yi, poured a cup of tea, handed it to Zheng Yi, and said: "The old man mourns, Zhao Shanhe deserves it." ”
After Zheng Yi took the tea and smashed it, he slowly put it down, sighed and said: "I, Zheng, have been fighting for nearly 30 years since I joined the Red Gang, and I can't count how many vicious battles there are. ”
Xiao Yi sat quietly beside Zheng Yi and listened, not missing a word, Wei Yong also stood aside with his hands in his hands, quietly listening to the old man who had a legendary life telling about the past.
"At that time, with me, together with the current four elders of Zhao Qiansun and Li, they are called the five tiger generals of the Red Gang, as long as the enemy hears our name, they will be terrified, and everywhere they go can be described as invincible, this blood and fire are rolling over, it should be to enjoy the days of life, but I didn't expect Zuihou to die in the hands of his own people."
Speaking of this, Zheng Yi's mood fluctuated slightly, and continued: "In fact, they only know that I am now in a high position and hold great power, in fact, how can they ever know the bitterness in my heart, my personal honor and disgrace are small, but the rise and fall of the Red Gang is big, if it is not for the Red Gang to be divided into two, how can I want to rejoin the rivers and lakes, among the five tiger generals in the past, although Zhao Qiansun and Li are outstanding, but they all have some weaknesses of their own, if the Red Gang is led by them, I am afraid that it will decline, And I really don't want to see my former most haode brother bleed again, so let them continue to be elders in order to live out their old age, and the courage of the Red Gang will be borne by me. ”
"But what I never expected was that power and money were so fierce, so fierce that the brothers of life and death who fought countless times could kill each other, Zhao Shanhe looked for a killer to put me to death, but the group died in front of me, can I also be regarded as a kind of villain who is blinded by power and money!"
"I often wonder, if the four elders of Zhao Qian, Sun and Li are capable and have the talent to lead the Red Gang, then will I give up the position of the eldest brother in charge? Every time I think about this question, I hesitate and hesitate because I am not a saint myself, and there are some things that I don't know if I can let go freely on the day I face. ”
Xiao Yi has been listening quietly to Zheng Yi for a long time, for a moment, he felt that the person sitting next to him was not the leader of the Red Gang, but just the most ordinary old man, recalling his past, tasting the bitterness of his life, his back seemed to be a little rickety, looking at his bright eyes flashing a trace of tears, Xiao Yi suddenly felt a sadness, this, is this the fate of the Jianghu people?
"Old man." After Zheng Yi stopped, Xiao Yi said softly: "Maybe I don't fully understand what you said, but I think some things are destined in the dark, since fate cannot be changed, then what we can do is only to give full play to our destiny, since fate has put me on this road, then I will go bloody, ferocious, different, and more vicious than anyone else, because all this cannot be changed!" ”
Xiao Yi said this is not half a lie, every word is a true portrayal of his heart, he never defines himself as a righteous gentleman or a righteous hero, he only knows his goal and direction, that is, to formulate a set of rules written by himself, on this road, he does not hesitate to use any way, treacherous, treacherous and insidious, as long as it helps him to move forward, he will have no scruples, do not care how the world evaluates, because it is I who walks, and I myself know that the stone is a stepping stone, The stone was sharp and angular enough to blur the flesh of your feet!
In the huge office, the three of them are silent, each reminiscing or imagining their own life, their own unique and special path.
Sighing, Xiao Yi got up and said, "Old man, the matter has come to this, please take care of your body, and the juniors will leave first." As he spoke, he turned around and was about to leave, but Wei Yong bowed to the old man and followed.
"Mr. Evil Wolf, I want Xiao Yong to stay with me, can I?"
Zheng Yi suddenly said behind him.
Xiao Yi turned his head, his face was a little surprised, it would be great if Wei Yong could continue to stay by Zheng Yi's side, but now that Zhao Shanhe is dead and the danger has been lifted, there is no excuse for Wei Yong to continue to stay, but Zheng Yi took the initiative to speak.
Seeing Xiao Yi's expression, Zheng Yi waved his hand and said, "Okay, sooner or later, I will let you know about this, children, come here." ”
Zheng Yi's tone at this time no longer had the majesty of the big brother of the Red Gang, just an ordinary old man talking to his juniors.
Xiao Yi and Wei Yong also walked back again, with puzzled faces, always feeling that something was wrong with Zheng Yi.
"Sit down, kids."
After Zheng Yi motioned for Xiao Yi and Wei Yong to sit down, he personally poured one or two cups of tea and soup for the two of them and handed them over one by one, and Xiao Yi and Wei Yong hurriedly took it respectfully with both hands.
"Until then, as I said earlier, I had been puzzled by the fact that I seemed to be able to give up my rights and money freely one day, and this problem has been bothering me since I sat in the position of head of the Red Gang."
Zheng Yi said slowly, "But at the moment when Zhao Shanhe fell, I completely figured it out, it doesn't matter if I can give up my rights and status freely in my heart, at that moment I suddenly found that I was not suitable for leading the Red Gang and being a qualified leader, because the moment Zhao Shanhe fell, I was distressed and regretted, if I was given another chance, I would rather let Zhao Shanhe assassinate me ten more times, and pretend not to know, I will not find him out." ”
"These are called righteous qi in the rivers and lakes, but as the head of the gang, this is fatal! In the face of a thief, I can't be cruel, I can't be ruthless, in fact, how can I not guess the intentions of the other three elders? Is it really for my safety that Elder Qian shot Shanhe to death? ”
"These, I don't dare to admit it, I don't even dare to face the reality, just now, I suddenly figured it out, weishenme in the past three years, the Red Gang has surpassed the Red Gang in all aspects, but it can only be a tie? That's all to blame on me, the unqualified leader. ”
"As the head of the Red Gang, I don't think I can continue to do it, if I am asked to lead the Red Gang again, the Red Gang will die!"
As soon as Zheng Yi's words came out, don't say that it was Wei Yong, even Xiao Yi was stunned, Zheng Yi was going to abdicate, and he wanted to take the initiative to abdicate from a height that ordinary people couldn't reach!
Xiao Yi was surprised at the same time, and muttered in his heart, no matter what Zheng Yi's ability is, whether he can lead the Red Gang well, this is irrelevant, the important thing is that the blood wolf can now lean on such a big tree, if Zheng Yi abdicates, the attitude of the new head of the new head to the blood wolf is not easy to say, think about the worst, the Red Gang only needs to turn their faces, the Blood Wolf Gang does not say that they will perish, but the benefits of getting out are certain, with the strength accumulated by the blood wolf in just a few years, it will have to confront the Red Gang with a history of hundreds of years, It's like an egg hitting a stone.
Even if the Red Gang doesn't turn its face to itself, but as long as the alliance with itself is dissolved, the Zhenghong Gang, who hates the blood wolf, will definitely take action, and if the Zhenghong Gang deals with itself, its consequences are not much better than the Red Gang's dealing with itself, because the Zhenghong Gang is strictly speaking a branch of the same size as the Red Gang.
Xiao Yi's brain was spinning rapidly, he didn't dare to gamble on the future of the Blood Wolf Gang The new head brother was as good as Zheng Yi's attitude towards himself as always, and he had to find a way to make the old man change his mind and continue to serve as the head of the Red Gang.
"Old man, our Blood Wolf Gang is willing to make a sharp knife, as long as the old man gives an order, the Blood Wolf Gang can come out of the nest and launch an attack on the Zhenghong Gang!"
Xiao Yi said suddenly, although this is said openly, but if it really fights, the Red Gang will not stand idly by for its own interests, although it will suffer heavy losses, but it is far less than the loss of the Red Gang, and at the moment, in order to let Zheng Yi continue to serve as the head of the Red Gang, Xiao Yi also has to make this decision!
Looking at Xiao Yi's expression, Zheng Yi was stunned, and suddenly hahadaxiao, said: "The future is terrifying, Mr. Evil Wolf not only has the talent of heaven, but also the courage of a strong man to break his wrist, the old man admires, admires, in this way, I am more at ease to hand over the Red Gang." ”
