Early the next morning, I went to the funeral of Xu Jie and Dr. Wang, just like Uncle Xu's time, the mourning hall was set up in Uncle Xu's hometown, and the body had been transported from the coroner's office of the police station last night, packed in a coffin, and placed behind the mourning hall.

Song Jia and the others were arranging for a group of protégés to prepare everything, and they were all silently carrying out mechanical preparations, folding ingots, gold and silver paper, so that the funeral could begin, and the deceased would be sent on the road, and the journey would be smooth.

Everyone was silent and speechless, even if they were in a different mood, but their faces were the same numbness, just because they knew that I was really angry, which made the mourning hall solemn and silent.

This is not the first time I have attended a funeral, I don't remember how many times it is, there are always two or three times a month, either to attend the funeral of my protégé, or to attend the funeral of other people's protégés, this is one of the necessary conditions to become a big brother, there are always variables in the rivers and lakes, maybe tonight we will drink and talk, tomorrow will be separated, big brother in the rivers and lakes, such an occasion is essential, this also shows the helplessness of the people of the rivers and lakes from the other side.

I smoked a cigarette and leaned against the wall in a daze, looking at the bodies of Xu Jie and Dr. Wang behind the mourning hall, yesterday day, I shed too many tears, my eyes were swollen from crying, I thought I would not cry anymore.

But looking at Xu Jie, I still burst into tears, and there will always be infinite regret in my heart, regretting that I was not good enough for her before I was alive, I didn't care enough about her, and I didn't even get to know her well when I was busy with work, until I read her diary last night, I didn't know how many secrets she had that I didn't know.

In the photos on the mourning hall, Xu Jie's appearance is full of a memorable and cute and lively appearance, but despite this, it still can't hide a gloomy fog.

But so what, when a person is dead, even if there is an infinite sigh or a loud cry, it will not help, and it is impossible to do it all over again!

Of course I am sad about Xu Jie's death, and I am also quite self-reproachful in my heart, as his man, I did not protect her and let her die at the hands of traitors, this is one, and second, I failed to fulfill Xu Jie's wish to put on a wedding dress, and did not fulfill my promise, which makes me feel incompetent.

It is said that one misstep becomes a thousand years of hatred, and everything has become a foregone conclusion and cannot be recovered.

At this moment, I can only use the smoke to find the past that has disappeared, and the past is drip in my heart, as if it was yesterday, and as if it was the previous life.

"There's a guest here!"

Zhibin's words interrupted my memories, I knew that the funeral had begun, this time I was the person in charge of the funeral, and I needed to receive guests, I walked out and sat next to Xu Jie's posthumous appearance, and the first batch of people who came into the mourning hall were a group of Yitian members led by Dongdong and Yanzi.

Yanzi and Dongdong instructed their little brother to let each of them go in and put on three incense sticks, and then disperse after worshipping, and not to hinder the people behind.

After the swallow and Dongdong finished the incense, they sat next to me, and the swallow sent me a cigarette, and said a word of mourning, and then fell silent, maybe my expression was a little muna, even the swallow who usually likes to talk nonsense, but at this moment, he can't squeeze out a word.

Thinking about it, in fact, there is no need to say anything, Yiben is speechless, I know, Xu Jie, Yanzi will definitely help me with this matter.

The next to enter the mourning hall is the prince and my sister, the couple, my sister cried very sadly, she has always had a good relationship with Xu Jie, at the moment crying pear blossoms with rain, the prince can only comfort my sister, help my sister to the seat next to me to rest.

Then there were the twelve responsible persons such as Yangzixuan, Yang Wei, Yu Gongzi, Yi Thirteen, and Sandianshui, who came one after another, and everyone said a word of condolences to me after the incense.

Sandianshui blamed himself the most, and he swore to me that he would definitely help Xu Jie avenge it.

Jiang Yufei also arrived, this is the first time I have seen her when I came back from the island country, if it was in the past, she would have comforted me, but now our relationship is a little messy, plus Xu Jie died, her original relationship with me was also a little embarrassing, so after the incense, she sat at the end and didn't say a word, but her expression was also a little sad, she was a rival in love, but with this for many years, she was also a little emotional.

In addition to Yitian and others, the leader of the three groups, Sven and Shenxian Le, also came to sell favors, and those who should have come came, and those who thought he would not come also came, this is no more and no less, pointing out that the rivers and lakes have recognized my status in the rivers and lakes.

Some who can't come will also be given some flower cards, such as Peng Bo and others from the Zongheng Gang.

At this time, there was a commotion outside the mourning platform, everyone knew that the big man had appeared, only to see my dad take Sun Lin and Wang Yu into the mourning hall, during this time, my dad has rarely asked about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and everyone outside knows that my dad plans to abdicate and give Yitian to me. But even so, once he appears in the rivers and lakes, he still has a certain deterrent power, and the golden signboard of Yitian Chen Zhi is enough to deter the Quartet.

After my dad finished the incense, he sat next to me and said to me, "Little brother, you can do whatever you want about this matter, and I fully support you." ”

My dad's words hit my heart word by word, and I looked at my dad and said, "Thank you, dad......"

Wang Yuzhu told me not to be sad, and always held my hand, just like when I was at Hua Liuming's funeral.

After my dad came, after a while, there was a commotion in the venue, it turned out to be a luxury RV at the door of the funeral venue, led by a boutique in an RV, Rolls-Royce, highlighting that the owner of the car must be the head of the group.

When the convoy stopped, four or five thugs in suits poured out of each car, and they stood in a row, waiting for the big man in the Rolls-Royce.

The person who stepped out of the carriage was about fifty years old, but he was still in good spirits, but he was fat all over his body, and it was not beautiful to wear a suit.

The arrival of Hong Ye reminded the whole venue of an embarrassing question, that is, Xu Jie's death is related to the old army of Hongmen, and now the other party is coming in a high-profile manner, what does it mean, declare war?

Yanzi said indifferently: "This dead fat guy, what trick do you want to play?" ”

Dongdong asked Yanzi not to talk nonsense, everything depends on the attitude of me and my dad, I looked at my dad, and my dad said to me: "Today is a funeral, don't make trouble, and when this matter is over, play with this dead old ghost!" ”

I nodded, my dad's consideration was right, I could only endure it, Hong Ye handed over the money, only one person came in, and his bodyguards were waiting outside.

After he first put on the incense with fake benevolence and righteousness, he walked up to me and my father, and my father said coldly: "Brother Hong has a heart!" ”

Hong Ye sighed and said: "Brother, listen to me first, I came today, I didn't come to cause trouble, but if I don't come, the crime of killing Xu Jie will fall on our Hongmen, and people will say that we Hongmen are thieves with a weak heart!" ”

I raised my head and looked at Hong Ye and said, "So what do you mean now?" Come here to show your strength, saying that you Hongmen soldiers are strong and strong, and scare us Yitian? ”

Hong Ye hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Chen Ge, don't get me wrong, I didn't mean that, you all know, we are big, there are many enemies, and we don't feel at ease when we go out without a few bodyguards, today I want to take advantage of you and Brother Zhi to make it clear to you that Miss Xu's death is not about our Hongmen!" ”

After saying this, Yanzi and the others were unhappy, and they stood up one after another, and Yi 13 took the lead in speaking: "Old man Hong, if you say it's none of your business, it's not your business, if it weren't for the bastard old army under your command who kidnapped Xu Jie, would this kind of thing happen?" Now that something has happened, it's over with a word that doesn't concern you? ”

Yanzi echoed: "Brother Thirteen, how can those murderers say that they are murderers, Old Man Hong, everyone usually respects you, but don't rely on the old and sell the old here, let me tell you, if you want to protect the old army in this matter, don't even think about it!" ”

Seeing that the atmosphere suddenly became a little tense, Hong Ye was not vain, but said calmly: "If this matter is really done by our Hongmen people, I will hand over the old army without your Yitian opening, but obviously not, how can I carry this black pot by my old man Hong?" Chen Ge, that's all I say, I, Hong Sheng, have always admired you, and I hope that there will be no unpleasant things between our two major gangs, I hope you can listen to these words. ”

After speaking, he walked out of the door, at this time my father scolded a stupid, I stood up and let Hong Ye stand, and then walked to Uncle Kuan who collected the money, and asked Uncle Kuan to find out Hong Ye's money, and then in front of Hong Ye, he tore up the money and said: "Hong Sheng, just now you said nonsense in your lungs, I Chen Ge can't listen to a word, in a word, the old army does not come out for a day, and you Hongmen will not be at peace for a day!" ”

If I do this, it is tantamount to declaring war with Hongmen, Hong Sheng's face suddenly became gloomy, and he said coldly: "Okay." I just look at you Chen Ge, how can we not be at peace! ”

After that, Hong Sheng left the mourning hall amid a chorus of boos.

The reason why I did what I did was, on the one hand, I really hated the old army, if I hadn't kidnapped Xu Jie for him, this kind of thing would not have happened, on the other hand, I wanted to tell the whole Jianghu that the death of my beloved woman should not be underestimated, and I, Chen Ge, will definitely be investigated to the end!

Hong Sheng's arrival was a small episode, and after that, Xu Jie and Dr. Wang were buried in the scenery, and the funeral ended.

As the days passed, the matter of my declaration of war with Hongmen at the funeral had spread throughout the rivers and lakes, but there had been no action, and in a blink of an eye, Xu Jie's first seven days had passed, and it was not until I stepped on the last seven days that I finally took action.

On this day, my dad and I convened the 12 leaders, which was the first high-level meeting since the 12 leaders were formed. The purpose is obvious. That is to discuss how to force out the old army's counterattack to Hongmen!

The frowning brow revealed that my mood was solemn, and it also said that the anger accumulated in my bottom had reached the peak of an outbreak at any time, and one thing was certain, this time, unless the old army was found, it would definitely not be good to give up!

All the responsible persons here have already been mentally prepared, as long as I make a final decision, they will fully cooperate and do their best to charge towards Hongmen!
