Chapter 599: Opening the Incense Hall
"Bean juice fritters, morning tea snack!"
In front of a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown, there is a cart full of all kinds of snacks for breakfast, and the young man is shouting hard.
"Two fritters, well, a bowl of bean juice too." People who used to go to work would stop by to buy a breakfast from time to time, and the morning in Chinatown was lively and orderly.
This kind of situation is rare even in China, and if you have lived in China in the early years, you will definitely think that you have come to the old Beijing/Beijing decades ago.
However, unlike in the past, many shops in Chinatown have been cleaned and some places have even been painted, which usually only happens during the Chinese New Year.
And in addition to the familiar faces that used to be seen in Chinatown, there are also many fresh faces and police cars here, and there is a hint of tension beyond the lively appearance.
"Tom, how are you doing over there? What's not? "In a police car, a childish-looking policeman was looking at the people walking outside the car.
"Richardson, my side is fine, all Chinese, what are they going to do?" In a Chinese restaurant, a white man drinking soy juice whispered back.
"Don't care so much, what kind of party are these Chinese doing, they dare not mess around!"
It was a black old policeman who had been an errand boy in San Francisco for more than 30 years, so he naturally had a lot of places to inquire about the news, and he was not worried about the situation in front of him at all.
On this ordinary morning, the police in San Francisco, USA, are like a great enemy, all their vacations have been canceled, and countless police officers in police uniforms or plainclothes are shuttling through Chinatown.
For Hongmen, these policemen can be said to be afraid and hateful, and the internal organization of Hongmen is so tight that they have been like rats biting turtles for nearly a century. I can't get to the bottom of it.
Although there is a desire to eradicate the largest Chinese gang in the United States, a century of development and infiltration has long spread to all aspects of the city of San Francisco.
As early as ten years ago, Hongmen began to consciously develop into the political arena, and several people in high positions in the United States appeared among the Chinese, and the shadow of Hongmen could be found behind them to a greater or lesser extent.
In this case, the United States, including the San Francisco government, acquiesced to the existence of Hongmen. Of course. On the U.S. government's list, Hongmen still belongs to that kind of unstable factor.
"Big brother, these strips are here to stand guard again."
On the lively streets of Chinatown. In addition to those American policemen, there are also many more sturdy men, and this time Hongmen opened the incense hall. and beware of hostile forces coming to cause trouble.
"What's so rare? I can see them once every few years, and they all cheer me up and watch out for the Vietnamese gang and the Mexican miscellaneous people. ”
A middle-aged man with a strong appearance spat a smoke ring at the police not far away, in fact, in San Francisco, gangs and police have a tacit understanding with each other, and the more the situation is like this, the less there will be conflicts.
"Big brother, I heard that the old man with the word "big" is old. has lived for more than a hundred years and looks like a fairy, but ...... But he's so old, why do you want to join Hongmen? ”
In the past few days, the matter about Ye Tian has also been rumored within the Hongmen, and many Hongmen disciples can't even figure out how old Ye Tian is, so they subconsciously link Ye Tian's age and generation.
"You know. That's Ye Ye's master who is over a hundred years old, the big guy in the early years of our Hongmen, do you know Du Yuesheng? It was Du Yuesheng back then, and when he saw Ye Ye's master, he had to kowtow! ”
The middle-aged man took a bite of his little brother angrily, he could more or less get in touch with a few real bigwigs. The source of this news is naturally more authentic. ..., the scale of Hongmen's grand opening of the incense hall is even better than that of the cordial meeting in 92.
There were more than 100 bigwigs from all over the country who came to participate in Ye Tian's entrance ceremony. Coupled with its entourage bodyguards, there are as many as 1,000 people.
The sudden appearance of so many people who are registered in the relevant departments of the United States is that the local government is not nervous, and they have even set up mobile units on the periphery to deal with emergencies.
The Hongmen people have long been accustomed to these actions of the American police, and on the way to the core area of Hongmen, they have planted various flags to welcome the arrival of bigwigs from all walks of life.
Luxury cars drove in from behind Chinatown, and from time to time people opened their windows and waved to police officers taking pictures outside.
However, these people did not break the law in the United States, and they did not have any criminal records in the United States.
Hongmen Xiangtang, a place that was only used in the past when sacrificing or recruiting disciples, was cleaned today.
In the courtyard outside the incense hall, which covers an area of nearly 1,000 square meters, hundreds of chairs are neatly arranged, and each chair is pasted with a small piece of paper with a name written on it, which is used to distinguish the seats.
Since the incense hall was only opened for Ye Tian alone, and hundreds of bigwigs from all over the world watched the ceremony, the incense hall was also set up outside the door, a huge offering table, enshrined dozens of tablets.
In the highest and most conspicuous position are the ancestors of Hongmen: Hong Ying, Fu Qingzhu, Gu Yanwu, Huang Lizhou, and Wang Fuzhi, all of whom were anti-Qing leaders in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.
The second row is Wenzong Shi Kefa, Wuzong Zheng Chenggong, Xuanzong Chen Jinnan, Dazong Wan Yunlong, and Weizong Su Hongguang.
There are also the first five ancestors below: Cai Dezhong, Fang Dahong, Ma Chaoxing, Hu Dedi, Li Shikai and others, the images of these people also appeared in a film and television work not long ago.
In addition, these also have the tablets of the ancestors of Hongmen, such as the five ancestors, the five ancestors, the five yi, the five jie, the three ying, and the second division, which are enshrined on the offering table in turn.
In front of these tablets, there are all kinds of sacrificial cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks, but there are no pigs, this is because Hongmen was founded at the beginning to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty is the Zhu dynasty, so it is natural to avoid it.
As time passed, the bigwigs from all over the world who came to participate in the incense hall ceremony, Yuguan entered the courtyard, and sat in his place under the leadership of those Hongmen disciples who wore short costumes.
The first big guys to enter the courtyard were all people from all over the world to watch the ceremony, and the people from the Hongmen General Hall only appeared at the gate of the courtyard after they entered.
"The eighth master of the virtuous brand has arrived!"
"The seventh sister of Yinfeng has arrived!"
"The sixth master of the flower official has arrived!"
"The fifth master in charge has arrived!"
"Fourth Sister Jinfeng has arrived!"
"The third master of the family has arrived!"
"The second sage has arrived!"
"Uncle Punishment has arrived!"
With a series of shouts, eight men and women of different ages walked into the courtyard, this is the person in charge of the eight halls outside the Hongmen, each of them is in charge of a mess of things.
For example, the deputy uncle of the criminal department is in charge of leading the troops to fight, and the second master of the sage is the role of the military advisor, who specializes in giving advice to the uncle, and the third master of the family is responsible for finances and food, and the rest of the people also perform their duties.
After these outer hall bosses took their seats, the shouts rang out again, and this time it was the Hongmen Inner Hall boss who came in, and the first name to call in was the Torture Hall Lei Hu.
is similar to what is played on TV, this highest status always has to be the last to appear, and the torture hall is the last in the eight halls in the Hongmen, so it is natural that the first one appears.
Lei Hu's face was a little ugly, followed by Peng Wenguang, and after coming in, he was a little absent-minded and greeted those who had already sat down, and walked to his place and sat down. ..., the second one to come in is the auditorium uncle, also known as the uncle Shangshu, and the three big men behind are the deacon, the manager, and the accompanying hall, and the one who came in behind them was Du Fei, who was sitting in the hall.
Obviously, Du Fei's popularity is much better than Lei Hu, as soon as he entered the courtyard, the bigwigs from all over the country stood up and greeted him, many of them went out from the main hall, and they still read the benefits of the old dragon's head.
"Uncle Zhongtang has arrived!"
What appeared behind Du Fei was also Ye Tian's old acquaintance, Tang Wenyuan, who was on crutches, and as soon as he entered the courtyard, the entire courtyard suddenly boiled.
Zhongtang is also called the alliance, and it is the oath person who opened the incense hall, and it is generally Hongmen Keqing who holds this position.
Tang Wenyuan is the leader of the Chinese business community, and has an inextricable relationship with Hongmen, and in the Hongmen Cordial Conference in 92, he was elected as the master of Zhongtang.
Due to Tang Wenyuan's special identity and strong financial resources, more than half of the Hongmen bigwigs from all over the country here have received his favor, so Tang Wenyuan can enter the door, and there are many greetings everywhere.
"Master Templar, please!" As Tang Wenyuan sat down, a shout from behind made the audience fall silent, and they all turned their heads to look at the courtyard gate.
The master of the temple is also the master of incense, the chief priest of the incense hall, who has a high status in the gang but has no real power, but this incense master is different, because he is concurrently served by the dragon head.
But because of this, everyone wants to know if the current Hongmen faucet, who has been bedridden for more than three years, can appear at this incense hall ceremony?
With the shouting, a wheelchair appeared at the gate of the courtyard, and on the wheelchair sat an old man with gray hair, his legs covered with a thick blanket on this hot day.
"It's the president!"
"The dragon head, it's the dragon head!"
"Welcome to the big brother!"
The appearance of this person made the entire Xiangtang venue boil again, and everyone spontaneously stood up and applauded.
Although he has not been concerned about helping things for a long time, this president is also the person who followed Du Fei's father to fight the world back then, and his reputation is still above Lei Zhenyue.
"What a hero, beauty in the twilight!" Ye Tian, who was standing outside the incense hall, looked at the old man who entered the courtyard, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart.
