A rush of footsteps interrupted Hong Liang's musings, and he looked up at the door.

"Yu Daliang, there are guests visiting. ”

Is there a guest? Hong Liang frowned slightly, who would be coming at this time.

"Who's coming?"

"Law Enforcement Elder, Shen Nian. ”

Hong Liang was startled, why did he come? Right now, Xu Jiangcheng is about to arrive with the person from outside the island, if the elders of the gang know about it, I'm afraid the plan will be disrupted.

But since the elder came to the door, he couldn't avoid it, but fortunately, Shen Nian was the person he promoted, and he could barely be regarded as a confidant, even if he knew the information, it wouldn't hurt.

"Arrange for Elder Shen to rest in the Juyi Hall for a while, and wait for me to go and greet him. As he spoke, Hong Liang stood up and walked out, according to his identity, he and the law enforcement elders belonged to the same Nine Bags Elder, but as the head of the four beams, his position was much higher.

Before he could reach the door, someone came to report: "Yu Daliang, Elder Sun Gang has arrived at the Juyi Hall." ”

......

At this time, the people in the Juyi Hall were full of people, and the four beams and eight pillars and the eight elders on the island were basically all there, because the places where they lived were not very far, they came quickly after receiving the news, and almost arrived on their front and back feet.

"Lao Chen, you have also been notified that you have caught a person who is suspected of losing the cheats of our gang? Do you know the specific situation?" The person who spoke was about sixty years old, tall and muscular, with a big black square face and bright eyes, and it was none other than Sun Gang, the elder of the Gong.

Known as Lao Chen, Tuo Tianliang Chen Song has just taken over this position for a few years, the predecessor Tuo Tianliang Chen Hong slaughtered civilians and was killed by Hong Liang, and then recommended Chen Song to the position, he is considered to be Hong Liang's descendant, although the two are nominally equal, but in fact, Chen Song is only Hong Liang in everything.

"I really don't know. Although he is a descendant, Chen Song also received the notice in a hurry, and he doesn't know much about the inside story than others.

As he said this, there was another commotion outside the hall, and two men walked in side by side.

Seeing these two people, the elders in the hall hurriedly got up and signaled, it turned out that the two elders with a stick and a bowl had arrived together.

The beggar gang reformed once at the end of the Ming Dynasty, canceled the deputy gang leader, and added the twelve positions of four beams and eight pillars in addition to the original eight elders, dispersing the rights that originally belonged to the deputy gang leader, and the optimus beam is the highest position among the four beams and eight pillars, and the head of the eight elders and the head of the bowl together assist the gang leader, which can be regarded as dividing the original deputy gang leader rights into three.

Xing Shilong, the leader of the club, is seventy-five years old, he is currently the oldest member of the beggar gang, when Hong Liang took over Qingtianliang, he was like him courtesy, and quickly formed an alliance with him, so when Hong Liang later cleaned the high-level of the beggar gang, Xing Shilong's position has been as stable as Mount Tai unwavering, he also rushed over quickly after receiving the notice, although he is really on an equal footing with Qingtianliang, but Xing Shilong never interferes in daily affairs, and everything is subject to Hong Liang's arrangement.

Li Chao was just fifty years old, and he was promoted after the rebellion of the five elders a few years ago, and he would not have been able to take his turn at all, but Hong Liang's words determined his position.

"Although Elder Li is still young, he has worked hard for many years, and he has the highest martial arts, and he is very likely to break through the eighth order and be called the next Martial Venerable. ”

At that time, Hong Liang was still in a state of serious injury and had not recovered, and reluctantly presided over the election meeting of the new elders, although he only proposed, but these elders who attended the meeting knew his methods, and the five elders were so powerful that they would be eliminated if they said that they would be eradicated, so who would dare to veto Hong Daliang's proposal at the risk of death.

So Li Chao inexplicably served as the leader of one of the three giants of the beggar gang, he himself didn't understand why Hong Liang would elect him, it is said that Li Chao and Hong Liang had nothing to do with each other before, although he was also an elder of nine bags, but he was only idle, but he didn't want to suddenly ascend to the sky.

Afterwards, Li Chao inquired about Hong Liang's intentions many times, but found nothing. Hong Liang neither showed favor to him, nor did he intend to solicit him, because he didn't know the reason for the beginning and end, Li Chao has been cautious in his work, neither too much contact with others, nor disputes with people, and the gang affairs are all under the arrangement of Qingtianliang, so the two have been safe and sound for several years.

As soon as the two of them arrived, the entire hall fell silent, and with the Qingtian Liang who had not yet appeared, the three giants of the beggar gang were all here today.

In the past, the three of them performed their own duties, and it was rare for them to be present at the same time, except for the annual meeting, the last time so many people gathered for a meeting was at the meeting of the five elders to elect new elders after the rebellion.

"A few of them came early. Xing Shilong took the lead and said: "I received a summons from Hong Daliang, saying that I caught an outsider who is suspected of holding a fragment of my gang's cheats, and a few of them arrived before me, have you ever seen Daliang?"

"Elder Xing, we have just arrived, only half an hour earlier than you, and we don't know the reason yet. Elder Sun Gang is a generation younger than Xing Shilong according to his seniority, although the two of them are now of the same level, but he still replied with the etiquette of a junior: "This matter is not trivial, since Hong Daliang has called us all here, it will definitely not be groundless, it is related to the future of my gang and the whereabouts of the old gang leader, and I also ask Elder Xing to be cautious." ”

Although he didn't say it explicitly, the meaning was already obvious, if this matter was not handled well, it was likely to cause another reshuffle of the beggar gang leaders, and only Xing Shilong could affect the overall change.

"Elder Sun, don't worry, I have my own number. ”

Everyone sat down according to their rank, waiting for the protagonist to appear.

At this moment, Hong Liang was furious in the side room behind the Gathering Hall, and his subordinates had already reported that these elders had been ordered that Qingtian Liang had summoned them to a meeting here to interrogate the outsider who was about to arrive with the fragment of the Beggar Gang's cheats. He couldn't figure out who had leaked the news to the elders, and his plans were completely disrupted.

"Immediately sent an order to Hong Jun, slow down and don't arrive too early, give me an hour late. ”

Hong Liang paced in circles in the side room, as Hong Jun expected, he planned to quietly retrieve the fragment of the cheats, and then announce the news of the death of the old gang leader, so that he could naturally succeed to the position of gang leader, but after the arrival of these elders, the situation was out of his control.

"Alas, what should come will come. Hong Liang walked out ruthlessly, he couldn't let these elders wait outside all the time, so let's act when the opportunity arises.

Seeing Hong Liang walking out of the side door, all the elders in the Juyi Hall got up to salute, and Hong Liang returned the salute one by one and sat down on the main seat.

"Elders, you already know what I'm summoning you for. ”

"It is already known, but the specific situation still needs to be clearly stated. It was Shen Nian, the law enforcement elder who spoke, he didn't know Hong Liang's thoughts, and it was said that Hong Liang would talk to him in advance for such a major event, so that he could show his attitude at a critical moment.

"There is no urgency. Hong Liang quietly gave Shen Nian a look and signaled not to speak yet.

"Four days ago, I received a summons from a peripheral disciple, saying that there was a madman who made trouble in the Anji branch of the Taiyue Group, and when the branch disciple Hong Jun fought with him, he found that this person was about the mid-fourth order strength, but the martial arts he used were the authentic Eighteen Palms of Dragon Descending, and after further observation, it was found that the exercises practiced by that person were also Dragon Descending Techniques.

After Hong Jun subdued this person, after torture, he was not a disciple of my gang, and his eighteen dragon-descending palms only learned the first three moves, and the dragon-descending technique was only practiced to the fourth level. ”

Speaking of this, Hong Liang paused slightly, looking around at the expressions of the people sitting down, although the elders had been mentally prepared, they still couldn't help but have complicated expressions when they heard the news.

"As you know, more than forty years ago, our gang was attacked, and the town gang's cheats 'Eighteen Palms of Dragon Descending' and 'Dragon Descending Formula' were destroyed, and a large part of them were lost, including the first three moves of the Eighteen Palms of Dragon Descending and the first four layers of the Dragon Descending Formula. ”

"Girders. Chen Song stood up and saluted: "I don't know why we were only notified today of such a major event. ”

"Hmph. Hong Liang snorted coldly and said, "Why? It's not because I suspect that there are still ghosts in the gang, and I'm afraid that if I notice it too early, I will be calculated by someone with a heart." ”

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the hall. Now Hong Liang is no longer a stupid boy who was at the mercy of others at the beginning of his tenure, so many years of his ruthless eradication of dissidents, still left a very serious psychological shadow on everyone here, and now he suddenly proposed that there are ghosts in the gang, or in the high-level, how can he not make everyone feel uneasy.

"Da Liang, this matter is very important, you can't speculate. Seeing that everyone was talking, Xing Shilong said to Hong Liang with a smile: "Since Da Liang took charge of the help, the merits are obvious to all, and a few of our old guys are happy and convinced of you, and now I am a beggar gang inside and outside, and everyone here is a brother who lives and dies with Da Liang, so I am afraid that such speculation will cause panic." ”

"Whether it's random speculation or not, I can tell. Hong Liang still couldn't ignore Xing Shilong's opinion, and he reassured everyone: "I just suspect it, because a lot of things have been accidentally leaked out recently, which has caused Taiyue Group to suffer setbacks in some businesses. Therefore, for the sake of prudence, the elders were not notified in advance. ”

After making a round, he continued: "In terms of time, that person will arrive at the Justice Hall in about an hour, and everyone will soon know what the specific truth will be at that time. ”

......

At the same time, Hong Jun and the others were hurrying to the Juyi Hall, when they were still about ten kilometers away from their destination, and they were greeted by a person in a hurry.

"Is it Senior Brother Xu Jiangcheng in front?" This person is Hong Liang's personal guard, he was ordered to come over and ask Xu Jiangcheng to take someone to delay the time and be an hour late.

"Exactly. Xu Jiangcheng also knows this guard, and the people around Hong Daliang will come forward in person, and they must have something to explain.

"According to Daliang's instructions, Senior Brother Xu does not need to rush to leave, and must delay the arrival time by more than an hour. ”

Xu Jiangcheng obeyed. ”

After the guards finished explaining, they went back to their lives, and Xu Jiangcheng arranged for everyone to rest in place.

Hong Jun and Lin Xiaoshan glanced at each other, with a look of joy in their eyes, it seemed that the plan had succeeded.

Only Xie Budong, who was wearing a black hood and his ears were plugged, was in a state of confusion for a while: Why didn't he stop, did he arrive?
