Chapter 48: The Gathering
Xavier was still smiling, not caring about Lin Xia's kick, and looked at Troy. Lin Xia understood, Troy really didn't disappoint him, and he was the first to be promoted to the first level and become a real martial artist.
Lin Xia walked up to Troy, patted Troy on the shoulder, and encouraged, "Good job." "It seems that Troy's serious injury this time is not all bad for him.
Troy nodded heavily, indicating that he accepted Lin Xia's encouragement. Lin Xia felt that Troy's face was a little gloomy, which made Lin Xia feel a little worried.
Xavier followed up, touched his bald head, and said to Lin Xia flatteringly: "Boss, my old subordinate Borg has been promoted to the fourth level. ”
"Oh?" Troy was promoted to level one, although it was unexpected, but it was also reasonable, but Borg's promotion to level four made Lin Xia completely unexpected, it is said that Borg is in his forties, and he has been stuck in level three for more than ten years, and it can be said that it is very rare to want to be promoted to level four like this, and said to Xavier: "Call Borg." ”
Xavier still remembers that Borg's lead people delayed the fighter, which caused Hong Xing and Yin Deng to be at a disadvantage in the confrontation. Lin Xia has not punished Borg in this matter, Xavier wants to take this opportunity to let Lin Xia reduce the punishment, and happily let people call Borg over.
After Borg arrived, he was really lucky to look at Borg's dantian, and sure enough, he was promoted to the fourth level, but he still asked, "I heard Xavier say that you have been promoted to the fourth level?"
"Yes, Boss. Although Borg was in his forties, he was still very respectful to Lin Xia, and said modestly: "This is all thanks to the martial arts taught by the boss, I have just practiced for a month and there are signs of breaking through to the fourth level, and after more than half a year, I finally broke through to the fourth level." ”
"Not bad. You are the first of our Hongxing to be promoted to the fourth level. After encouraging Borg, he said to Xavier: "What do you think of appointing Borg as the chief instructor of Hongxing?" Seeing that Xavier did not react, he gave him another kick.
Suddenly hearing Lin Xia ask for his opinion, Xavier didn't react for a while, and only after another kick did he understand, "Yes." But he wondered in his heart, the eldest brother usually makes his own decisions, how did he ask his opinion today.
The reason why Lin Xia asked Xavier for advice was because he would return to the territory in a few months, and his goal was to enter the imperial military, and only with the help of the power of the empire could he better find his way home. Hong Xing is a big help for himself, but he can't be in Hongxing for a long time, and Xavier is mature, steady, and has a big picture, so Lin Xia wants to train Xavier to be the boss of Hong Xingming.
"But because of Borg's mistake, it brought a lot of losses to Hong Xing and had to be punished. Lin Xia said with a cold face: "Punish Bog with thirty boards, and you must not resist with fighting spirit." Then he said to Xavier: "You will carry it out." ”
"Yes. Xavier knew that Lin Xia let himself execute it, but he didn't want to be ruthless. At the same time, he also let himself sell his favor to Borg and let Borg be loyal to him.
Lin Xia chatted with Hongxing's high-level for a while, and after learning about Hongxing's situation, he asked everyone to disperse first and leave Troy alone.
"Have you had anything on your mind lately?" Lin Xia was a little worried about Troy, since he cultivated martial arts, Troy's words became less and less, and his temperament became more and more gloomy. I don't know if it's because of the shadow left by the serious injury.
"Big brother, I'm fine. Although Troy's face was dark, he showed respect for Lin Xia everywhere.
"I'm worried about you. Lin Xia looked at Troy.
"I'm really fine. Troy knew that it must be because of the recent change in his temperament that attracted Lin Xia's attention, and felt Lin Xia's concern for him, and said, "It's really nothing." ”
Hearing that Troy was sure that there was nothing wrong, Lin Xia didn't ask any more, but cultivation could also change his temperament, which made him wonder a lot. Still a little uneasy, he continued: "If you have any requirements, you can tell me." ”
Troy thought for a moment and said, "I want to build an intelligence unit." ”
Hearing that Troy wanted to establish an intelligence department, he had this idea before, so he said, "Let's talk about it." ”
"I only thought about it when you encountered an assassination. You are a nobleman, and there will definitely be trouble in such a big thing as assassinating you, and if we have a similar intelligence system, we can detect some anomalies somewhat. Troy said to Lin Xia.
"Tell me what you're going to do. Lin Xia asked.
"I want to pick some people in Hongxing, not necessarily martial arts, but smart enough. Recruit some more brothel girls......" Troy and Linxia said what they thought.
Hearing that Troy wanted to absorb the girl from the brothel, Lin Xia couldn't help but think of the Heaven and Earth Society in "The Legend of Deer and Ding", and also absorbed the girl from the Qinglou.
After listening to Troy's report, Lin Xia felt that Troy's idea was relatively complete, and he set up an independent department to specialize in intelligence, absorb brothel girls, open taverns and other ways to collect.
Lin Xia thought for a while and said, "I also have to absorb some official members, such as the sheriff of the Public Security Bureau, the city defense army, and if there is a chance, we will also absorb people from the palace." ”
"Yes. Troy said.
"Okay, you think about it again, and give me a specific plan in a few days. Lin Xia asked Troy to prepare it himself.
Lin Xia returned to his study, thought for a while, and asked people to call Bill over.
After Bill came, he respectfully called Young Master Lin Xia, and said with guilt on his face: "It's all my fault, I didn't find out that the killer was following you." Thankfully, you're back safely. He was worried that Lin Xia would take the matter out of his anger.
Lin Xia shook his hand and said, "I don't blame you, you don't want to take the matter on yourself." I'm going to arrange one thing for you now. ”
Hearing that Lin Xia really didn't blame himself, Bill put his mind at ease and listened to Lin Xia's instructions intently.
"Three days later, I want to call all the gang bosses in Jiangnan to talk, and I should let them know who Jiangnan has the final say. ”
............
Three days later, Universal Entertainment.
On the left side of the main entrance of Universal Entertainment, Hong Xing's brothers wore Hong Xing's Mao suit uniforms and lined up in a phalanx of 100 people. The phalanx was led by Borg, and although these brothers of Hongxing were only standing neatly, they had an aura of slaughter. Let passers-by pass by, and their legs will not feel trembling.
To the right of the main entrance of Universal Entertainment, there are more than two dozen sheriffs, these people are dressed in random sheriff uniforms, some standing against the wall, some squatting on the ground chatting.
Bill was at the main entrance of Universal Entertainment, looking at this scene and couldn't help but shake his head, which side is the sheriff and which side is the gangster. Sighing helplessly, he walked into Universal Entertainment.
Universal Entertainment was not open today, Lin Xia was sitting in the center of the hall, and Sean and Xavier were lined up behind Lin Xia. Chairs were placed on both sides of Lin Xia's front. Bill hurried forward and saluted respectfully.
Lin Xia pointed to the position of his lower head and motioned for Bill to sit.
Bill sat down respectfully, and after sitting down, he found that his position was a little lower than Lin Xia, and he needed to tilt his head slightly when looking at Lin Xia.
This is deliberately arranged by Lin Xia, Lin Xia's position is higher than other positions, when negotiating, sitting in a low place will unconsciously have a psychological weakness to the person in the high place, this is Lin Xia's experience in negotiation in his previous life, it is said to be a kind of psychology.
"These people have been informed. Lin Xia asked Bill.
"Young Master Lin Xia, all the gang leaders in Jiangnan have been notified. Bill replied.
Lin Xia nodded, there was still half an hour before the appointed time, Lin Xia closed his eyes and recuperated.
............
At the same time, in a private hotel room two streets away from Xishui Street, where Universal Entertainment is located, eight gang leaders from Jiangnan sat around a round table.
A man in his fifties stood up and said, "You must have received a notice from Hong Xing, and now there is still half an hour before the appointed time." Lin Xia asked us to come, just to annex us, what do you think, we have to discuss a result quickly. ”
This man in his fifties is called Martin, the eldest of the gang leaders in the Jiangnan area, and it is said that he is related to the gangster Douglas in the Jiangnan area, and he is very prestigious in the Jiangnan area, and even Yin Deng will call him a senior.
The original most powerful person in the Jiangnan region was Yin Deng, but now that Yin Deng has fallen, Martin's heart is a little impatient, and he wants to take advantage of Yin Deng's downfall and use his prestige to replace Yin Deng's position in the Jiangnan area.
It was at this time that Lin Xia summoned the leaders of the various gangs, which gave Martin a chance. Martin used his prestige in Gangnam to convene a meeting of all gangs in Gangnam. His original intention was to let everyone unite to fight against Lin Xia, and then use his prestige to slowly encroach on the power of other gangs to expand himself.
