Volume 1 Chapter 88 Elect a new gang leader
In the Juyi Hall, dozens of pairs of eyes of many elders were focused on Xie Budong, which made him feel very uncomfortable, and on the way here, Hong Liang instructed him to try to be as detailed as possible in the hall, and not to omit details.
"This old thing, I'm just afraid that I'll omit the words of the helper to him. Xie Budong secretly slandered in his heart.
"Here's how it happened, everything I said before is true, but it's just ......" He said what he had said to Hong Liang in the secret room to the elders again.
β...... I hope that you will work hard during your reign, do not forget your heart, and remember my beggars to help the ancestors: the essence of a hundred schools, the achievement of food and clothing, hoeing the strong and helping the weak, and keeping promises. When it was said that the old gang leader passed the position of the new gang leader to Hong Liang, the elders in the hall erupted into a fierce discussion, interrupting Xie Budong's words.
The elders close to Hong Liang glanced at each other, knelt down on one knee with their hands in unison, and said to Hong Liang: "The disciples of the beggar gang congratulate Daliang on taking over the position of the gang leader, and we will definitely work hard under the leadership of the gang leader, do not forget our hearts, follow the ancestral teachings, hoe the strong and help the weak, and keep our promises!"
After a moment's hesitation, the neutrals also knelt down.
"It's so neat, it looks like I rehearsed it once last night, it's too fake. Seeing dozens of people kneeling down at the same time, saying the slogan in unison, Xie Budong was startled, and thought to himself: "This Hong Liang is too anxious, so the ambition is obvious." β
What he didn't know was that Hong Liang's ambition had long been known to passers-by, and even he himself didn't bother to cover it up, seeing everyone so cooperative, his heart had already bloomed with a smile, and he was still modestly saying on his lips: "Elders must not be like this, Hong Liang is still young in qualifications, lacks ability, and has not seen the size of the work during the period of helping the staff, how can he take on this great responsibility." β
"You don't want you to ask him to go into such detail? The elders despised him in their hearts at the same time.
"Hong Daliang, what you said is too humble, since you took over as Qingtianliang, punish the evil, quell the rebellion, expand the territory, and win the first, this pile is obvious to all, in fact, we have long pushed you to be the leader of the gang, but it is expected that you will not accept it, so it has not been mentioned, since today's small.... The little junior brother sent a message from the helper, and if you have brought back the treasure of my help, then please don't shirk again, for the future of tens of thousands of brothers in my beggar gang, please also ask Daliang to take over the position of helper!"
Hong Liang looked at the person who spoke in surprise, what he never expected was that it was not his own descendants who took the lead in showing loyalty, but Xing Shilong, who had always held great real power in the gang.
Although he has had a good relationship with this leader since taking over, no matter how he hinted at it, he seemed to be incomprehensible, and he has always maintained a relationship with Hong Liang, neither opposing nor publicly supporting, as if it was an ordinary relationship between superiors and subordinates, neither intimate nor unfamiliar.
Now Xing Shilong is the first to take the lead, which means that his forces are completely inclined to his side, how can this not surprise Hong Liang. After the head of the stick finished speaking, all the elders echoed in unison, and the seven bags and eight bags that were not qualified outside the voice were heard clearly.
"Please also ask Daliang not to shirk and take over the position of the helper!"
"Please don't shirk and take over the position of the helper!!"
"Please also ask Daliang not to shirk and take over the position of the helper!!"
"Okay, well, since you brothers are so loving, I will take care of the beggars for the old gang leader for the time being. Hong Liang stood up and said, "Wait until the two elders retrieve the secret book that I helped lost, and then discuss this matter." β
He specially told Xie Budong not to mention the secret letter and gang tokens for the time being, in case there is an accident that cannot be explained, and now the progress is the best situation in his plan, and now even if the cheats are wrong or the dog beating stick is not found, his position as the gang leader has been determined.
Hong Liang chatted with the elders for a while, talking about nothing more than how to reward him after he ascended to the throne, how to develop and other topics, he has a very high emotional intelligence, and while talking to the elders, he did not forget to interact with Xie Budong for a few words, often making everyone laugh with witty words.
In the blink of an eye, the business was over, and it was estimated that it would be lunch time, and all the elders said goodbye one after another, and those who had duty or other things returned to their respective areas of responsibility first, and then came back to participate when the cheats came back three days later to officially convene the beggar gang meeting.
Hong Liang stopped Xing Shilong and Li Chao, who were about to leave, and invited them to dine together on the inner island, while discussing the details of the beggar gang meeting.
Also participating were Xie Budong and three other big beams.
The restaurant on the inner island is an antique building not far from the east of the Juyi Hall, saying that the restaurant is just a new name that keeps pace with the times, in fact, the interior decoration is afraid to make the world's so-called five-star hotels embarrassed, every decoration here is carefully designed by everyone, the classical style of China, those accessories murals and the like, at least have a hundred years of history, not to mention the ancient paintings hanging on the wall, Xie Budong is a student of fine arts, he took a cursory look, these landscapes, people, flowers and birds, are all genuine, and even he has seen a lot of unique products that have been destroyed by the outside worldγ
Seeing him staring at the painting on the wall in a daze, Hong Liang quipped: "The little junior brother also has a study of these? I'm not afraid that you will laugh at the old brother for being a rough man, only interested in martial arts, these flowers, birds, and landscapes are messy, and I really can't see what's good." β
"Gang Master Hong, you are polite, I am afraid that if you can collect all these things, you are also a person in the calligraphy and painting world. Xie Budong stared at the murals on the wall with bright eyes, and thought to himself: "This Nima is all genuine, this is Wu Daozi's group of donkey pictures! This is Gu Kaizhi's Wei Jin Shengliu painting praise!
"Ahem, little junior brother, your saliva is coming out. β
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Xie Budong wiped his mouth and said, "I am majoring in calligraphy and painting, especially Chinese painting, looking at so many unique works of our ancestors, I lost my mind." β
"Hahahahahaha, the little junior brother is really temperamental, I like it. Hong Liang laughed and said, "Since the little junior brother likes it, this is not what it used to be, and when you leave, these will be considered gifts from my brother, come on." β
"In. β
"Put them all together, don't keep any of them, and send them back to the internal dining room. β
"Yes. The service staff answered, and immediately arranged for someone to take down the paintings on the wall.
"Gang Leader Hong, what are you?"
"Hey, something like this should be given to people who understand it to cherish it, let's help a group of big and rough people, fight hard, if you want to say this vassal and elegant ability, we can't learn it, little junior brother, don't shirk it, otherwise you will look down on me Hong." β
"If that is the case, then I will be disrespectful. Xie Budong was secretly happy, he didn't expect that there would be such an unexpected gain on the island this time.
A few people followed the waiter inside, and soon arrived at the internal private room, according to Hong Liang, this kind of internal box is only the right to use the high-level of the gang, and the high-level can only eat in this kind of box.
Seeing that the outside was already pretending to be like a palace, Xie Budong was full of infinite expectations for this "high-rise box".
With the opening of the two red lacquer doors, everyone gathered around Hong Liang and walked in, in fact, it was a box, after opening the door, it was a courtyard-like building, and the side rooms on both sides were the kitchen operation room and the place where the service staff worked, and the main room facing was where the meal was located.
After entering the main room, Xie Budong never expected that the so-called "internal box" would be such a chic place.
