Wang Batian walked over quickly, Vice Governor Lin and his party also followed, and of course, the governor on one side also leaned over to greet the team, and at this time......

"The earthquake is high, and the West Mountain is a beautiful show!"

The words spoken by this old man with a cane and all his teeth undoubtedly made Wang Batian stunned, but although he was a little stunned, he still couldn't help but say: "The door faces the sea, and the three rivers flow together for ten thousand years." ”

"Chinese people all over the world, Hongmen is a family, children, welcome to the United States!"

Wang Batian was able to speak his own words to make the old man very happy, most people at this age are more traditional, Wang Batian can clearly remember this sentence has shown that he also values these things, this is the real reason why the old man is happy.

"I don't know what I should call you......"

"My family is the sixth in line, and I am one step higher than you in terms of seniority, just call me the sixth uncle."

Knowing how to address the other party, Wang Batian's face suddenly straightened, and then he clasped his hands into fists and said very respectfully: "Wang Batian, the thirty-ninth generation head of Wangjiagou, has seen the sixth uncle and all the uncles!" ”

"Wang Pengyue, the thirty-eighth generation of Wangjiagou, has seen all the brothers!"

"Wang Xiaoer, the fortieth generation of Wangjiagou, has seen all your uncles and masters!"

"Wang Jiagou's fortieth generation Wang Sandan has seen your uncles and masters!"

"Wangjiagou 41st ......"

The remaining children of the Wang family under the leadership of Wang Batian have saluted these overseas seniors with the etiquette in the depths of their memory, and the salute of dozens of Wang family children is quite shocking, and several old men in Chinatown are also very excited, after all, there are few juniors who pay attention to tradition.

They thought that with the advent of the economic era, the mainland would be the same, but who would have thought that these little guys from the mainland would remember these etiquettes so clearly, and even do more standard than them, how could this not make them happy?

"Good, good! Lord Wang Xiang, please come here! ”

At this moment, none of these old men regard Wang Batian as a junior, and the title is also changed to the internal title of Hongmen, the Wang family is one of the eight incense masters in the inheritance of the past dynasties, so the old man at the head of the old man called Wang Batian Wang Xiangzhu.

Wang Batian followed a few Chinatown bigwigs to get into the car, and the rest of the team was a little dumbfounded, this, what is the situation, he didn't travel to the ancient society!

Vice Governor Lin seemed to know something, he took a deep look at the back of Wang Batian leaving, and then walked over to the governor and his party who were also stunned with a smile on his face.

"Lao Gao, this is Hongmen!"

"It should be, it should be! I didn't expect that our Mr. Wang still has such a big influence overseas, what did the old gentleman call Mr. Wang just now? The incense master? ”

On this side, because Wang Batian was talking about it, and on the other side, Wang Batian was sitting in the black Rolls-Royce with the big guy who was the leader and talking about some things about Hongmen.

"Uncle Six, where are we going now?"

Although the lobbyist is as he pleases, the purpose of coming to the United States this time Wang Batian has not forgotten it, and he can't just follow these old gentlemen around in a daze.

"Go to the airport, Los Angeles!"

"Los Angeles? Sixth uncle, my side ......"

"I know, don't worry, I'll be back early tomorrow morning, and I won't delay your affairs."

Seeing the sixth uncle like this, Wang Batian couldn't say anything, just an exhibition, to be honest, he missed it, and now he is really interested in the overseas Zhongyi Headquarters.

When he was very young, the elders of the family went in and in, and those who were not serious were not serious, so no one told him in detail about the relationship between the Wang family and the Tiandihui (Hongmen), which was just an opportunity.

An old guy like Uncle Six, their favorite thing to do may be to talk about the past, Wang Batian's inquiry just satisfies his story**, after all, not many young people are willing to listen to these things now.

"Let's talk about your Wang family first! The Wang family has been a member of our Heaven and Earth Society since the early Qing Dynasty, and you should know that the predecessor of Hongmen is the Heaven and Earth Society! ”

Seeing Wang Batian nodded, the old man continued: "To be precise, your Wang family has nothing to do with Hongmen, what really has to do with it is the Heaven and Earth Society, but Hongmen is transformed from the Heaven and Earth Society after all, and your Wang family is naturally regarded as a part of us, and because of the Wang family's contribution to the Heaven and Earth Society, you are the hereditary incense master of the eight halls in the Hongmen." ”

"...... you, Uncle Six?"

"Although only your royal family is hereditary, who are these hall masters and incense masters within the Hongmen who are not passed down from generation to generation? But I'm different from you, speaking of which, I'm just a hall master, and the organizational structure of Hongmen is not much different from that of Heaven and Earth, you know all of this, right? ”

Nodding and shaking his head, Wang Batian knows some but not much, and he is idle, so the old man will explain it to Wang Batian in detail.

"We have a dragon head and a pair of dragon heads in Hongmen, but after changing from the Heaven and Earth Society to the Hongmen, the deputy dragon head is an empty title, after all, the current Hongmen is no longer the Heaven and Earth Society of the year."

Now it is an economy and society, there is nothing to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, and there is nothing to help overseas Chinese, and the Chinese living in the United States are living a good life, which is also a major reason for the decline of Hongmen.

Although the scale of Hongmen is getting bigger and bigger, this Hongmen is no longer the Hongmen of the past, at least it no longer has the fundamental meaning and belief of the past.

During the Qing Dynasty, the belief of the Heaven and Earth Society was to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, and during the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, it was to revitalize the country and help overseas Chinese not to be bullied, and now it is ...... Making money and enjoying life may be the main thing.

With some emotion, then the old gentleman continued: "Below the dragon head are the inner eight halls and the outer eight halls, the inner eight halls are collectively known as the incense master, which is mainly responsible for some things inside the Hongmen, and the outer eight halls are responsible for specific places. ”

Although he is the hall master himself, the sixth uncle is not taboo about these things at all, and it can be seen that although Hongmen's control over these "feudal officials" is already very small, these hall masters are still trying to keep their promises back then, and they have not forgotten that they are a member of Hongmen.

The dragon heads began to lose control of the hall masters, and those incense masters naturally became false titles, and the Hongmen headquarters was almost an empty shell, and the positions of several incense masters were still idle even now.

Again, now that it is the new century and the new society, those old and old things should be discarded, and if you persist, there may not be any results.

The decline of Hongmen is not a day or two, since the sixties and seventies of the last century, the Hongmen hall masters all over the world have begun to go their own ways and no longer pay attention to the orders of the Hongmen headquarters, Sun Lao Liu is also because he is the hall master in charge of the United States, plus the dragon head is his own brother, so he has no other thoughts.

Don't think that Hongmen is some kind of underground society, it's true that they are an organization, and it is also true that they also have a dark side, but most of them are still on the ground and in the light, they control elections, create consortia, and help overseas Chinese, this is the real Hongmen.

To put it simply, you can think of them as an economic and political alliance like the Ivy League and the Skull and Bones Society, although many times the behavior of this alliance is not very open, but if you really investigate it, which alliance and organization is above board?
