Hong Shun Tang is a long-standing, hierarchical, and well-organized organization, Zuo Xiang is the chief administrator, in charge of various internal and external affairs, and strictly speaking, he is directly under the jurisdiction of the Hongmen Zhongyi General Hall.

As for Chen Qiyou, the master of incense, that is, the "Holy Hall" uncle, also known as the white fan, to be precise, it is just a guest Qing, and the second-in-command "Zhongtang" uncle is the alliance certificate, and he is the oath person when the incense hall is opened, and he is also a guest secretary.

In this way, as the uncle of the left prime minister sitting in the hall, he has become a person who really holds real power.

However, with the development of the times, the binding force of the Zhongyi General Hall on each rudder has become smaller and smaller, and even the rudder has become "autonomous", and the authority of the incense lord has become greater and greater.

Although most things need to be decided by consultation, the incense lord has another privilege, which can be regarded as a means to restrain the uncle of the left minister, that is, Hong Shuntang's shirt book, which must be in the hands of the incense master!

Hong Shuntang, like other rudders, in addition to these characters on the surface, there are also many secret agents and powerful guest secretaries in the secret, and these people also have the ability to turn the situation around.

The left minister can grasp the information of these members on the surface, but the secret agent and the guest secretary are only recorded in the book of the incense lord's shirt!

In fact, most people thought that Chen Qiyou died too hastily, and not only was the government searching, but also figures like Xu Guanxi were also digging three feet into the ground to find it.

It's just that now, everyone seems to have been convinced of the fact that it is impossible for the shirt book to reappear.

Of course, there are also Wei Yudao and others of the Heavenly King Society, who did not miss any opportunity and finally chased after Chen Mu's head.

It was He Huyong who also had the same idea, and when he started with Chen Mu, why wasn't it for this roster?

It's just that Xu Guanxi is different, he won't doubt Chen Mu like others, because in his eyes, Chen Mu is just a reading seed, innocent, and has never been involved in the affairs of the gang, and it is precisely because of this relationship that he thinks that Chen Mu does not have the courage at all, let alone this ability!

But it's a pity that Chen Mu can also feel the disdain of this Uncle Xu, just like he Xu Guanxi has never looked down on his brother Chen Ying.

And Chen Mu's confidence in bargaining with him is this roster!

It is impossible for Chen Mu to hand over the roster to Xu Guanxi, if he really does this, he will completely lose the qualification to compete for Hong Shuntang, this is his biggest hole card, and it is impossible for Chen Mu to hand it over.

However, in addition to the roster, there are also the historical origins of Hong Shuntang, the previous important members, various generational rankings and organizational structures, membership forms, participants and oaths, criminal laws, including various written and unwritten rules, etc., which also record various back words, that is, hidden words and sign language codes, etc.

In other words, as long as you are familiar with the shirt, even a layman like Chen Mu who has never interfered in gang affairs can know this organization well!

When Shi Lang attacked Taiwan, Zheng Kexuan smashed the shirt of his grandfather Zheng Chenggong's Hongmen Tiandi Society, including files, rosters, and sealed letters, into the iron box and sealed them, and sank to the bottom of the sea.

It is precisely because he is familiar with the shirt that Chen Mu knows some rules that few people know, but Chen Mu is clear!

At this time, he said to Xu Guanxi: "Uncle Xu is an old man, some allusions should be known, but do you still remember the events of the Qiankun Society?" ”

"Qiankun will? What do you do when your nephew mentions this for no reason? Xu Guanxi's face was a little ugly, but there was more confusion in his eyes, and he didn't know why Chen Mu wanted to mention this stubble, but he rubbed his wrist, which should be a little uneasy.

Speaking of this Qiankun meeting, even Sun Youlin and others are also clear.

In its heyday, the Qiankun Society was comparable to the Hongmen, with the support of the imperial court behind it, and was the biggest force of the imperial court against the Hongmen, but when the Hongmen collapsed, the Qiankun Society was also sad for the rabbit and the fox, for fear that the imperial court would die and the dog would cook, so at the beginning of the collapse of the Hongmen General Hall, it absorbed many core figures of the Hongmen.

These people joining the Qiankun Society are tantamount to defecting to the enemy, and the major rudders of Hongmen are also indignant, treating these people as traitors and assassinating them.

At that time, the incense master of Hong Shuntang, because he was dissatisfied with the control of the left minister, had an internal fight, and finally joined the Qiankun Society, and attracted the encirclement and suppression of the Qiankun Society, which almost destroyed Hong Shuntang!

In order to prevent similar things from happening again, Hong Shuntang carried out reforms and gave the incense lord some privileges to restrain the left minister, or to resist the left minister, and prevent the left minister's family from sitting on the throne.

And among them, in addition to keeping the shirt, there is another item, that is, the incense owner can have a certain amount of private property, when the incense owner leaves office or takes office, he can get a large amount of pension from Hong Shuntang, and this pension, including land and manpower, and even the corresponding status in the gang and so on!

Thinking about it seriously, Chen Qiyou died in his post, which can be regarded as "righteousness", Chen Mu is the only heir he left behind, even if he can't inherit the position of the incense master, he should inherit the part of his private property, and this private property is not just Xu Guanxi's silver!

Compared with this private property, Xu Guanxi's letter of silver is really called Huazi, which is not only an insult to Chen Mu, it is simply bullying Chen Mu, an orphan, and ignorance!

As everyone knows, Chen Mu's first priority after getting out of danger was to find his shirt and carry it on his back, and he still had Hong Shuntang's law seal and secret letter in his hand!

It is precisely because of this that Chen Mu has the confidence, he is indeed disheartened because of Xu Guanxi's actions, which makes people feel cold, but it is also because of the coldness that there is no need to intercede with him!

"Uncle Xu, the nephew is not mentioned for no reason, the father is heroic and righteous, he should follow the rules of the gang and carry out the bereavement, the nephew is also useless, now he is alone, and he came here today to ask for the compensation."

"But Uncle Xu seems to have a misunderstanding, I want my father's share of private property, not to beg!"

When Chen Mu said this, his eyes became stern, and Xu Guanxi, who had been rubbing his wrists, finally changed his face!

He knows about private property, in fact, those who know this rule are limited to their high-level officials, Chen Mu, a layman, actually knows about private property!

Xu Guanxi and the Chen family are world friends, and they know that Chen Mu was asserted by Lu Shengwu that he would be able to defeat his father, and he could not get Chen Qiyou's closeness, that is to say, the matter of private property would never be told to Chen Mu by Chen Qiyou.

Then, there is only one last reason left, either there is a master to guide Chen Mu, or Chen Mu has got the shirt book!

No matter which point it is, it is enough for Chen Mu to have the confidence to speak like this!

Xu Guanxi originally thought that Chen Mu was the one who was the most fearless of threats, but who would have thought that at this time, he found out that Chen Mu was the baby bump!

But he had already made a gesture in front of Chen Mu, he simply wanted to send Chen Mu away, and now he wanted to coax him again, I am afraid it will not be easy.

As the left minister, after Chen Qiyou's death, he had the highest call to succeed the incense master, but Xu Guanxi would rather continue to serve as the left minister than fight for the incense master.

Because he knows very well that after Chen Qiyou dies, no matter who comes to power, he must be restrained by him, the left minister, and he is the person behind the scenes who "listens to politics behind the curtain", and whoever comes up will be a puppet.

Therefore, this incense master, he should not be, but he must not let a person like He Huyong be the elder, because He Huyong is an elder of the torture hall, decisive in killing, uncontrollable, if he comes to power, he will inevitably bring * trouble to himself.

Of course, it is impossible for someone like Chen Mu to do it, because it is too obvious, "the king is weak and the minister is strong", he has become a thief who "coerces the Son of Heaven to order the princes", how can he leave a good reputation?

But Chen Mu has a shirt in his hand, but it's different, if he can snatch the shirt in his hand, the entire Hong Shuntang will be his own thing!

It's not that he has any selfish intentions, he doesn't want to explore this at all, as a left minister, he is more familiar with everything about Hong Shuntang than anyone else, and he has poured the most effort into Hong Shuntang.

Chen Mu's words really didn't leave any mercy, but for an old fox like Xu Guanxi, it was just something that could be easily resolved in a few words, if even a little hairy child like Chen Mu couldn't handle it, he would be in vain.

"I didn't expect my nephew to know this section, but the old man was confused, my Hong Shuntang has not had a thousand or eight hundred rules in the past hundred years, not to mention those unwritten rules, the Qiankun Association has been a big thing for decades, and it is not clear to say......"

"But, after all, the nephew is Brother Chen's child, Uncle Xu has no reason not to take care of you, I think so, you go back first, I'll go back and look at the regulations in the gang, if there is really this article, the old man will come to you in person to compensate you, what do you think?"

Chen Mu didn't expect Xu Guanxi to be so easy to speak, but this change in attitude is also reasonable, Chen Mu thought about it, and he also needed some time to deal with it, so he nodded.

"Then I'll bother Uncle Xu."

Saying this, Chen Mu was about to say goodbye, and since he sat down, he hasn't drunk a sip of that bowl of herbal tea.

Chen Mu was just about to leave, Xu Guanxi said again: "That silver, please don't dislike it, take it back with you, and it should be Uncle Xu's meeting ceremony for you." ”

Chen Mu didn't want it, but in front of an old fox like Xu Guanxi, he was still very tender, and he must not suffer if he had a advantage to take advantage of, so he smiled and said: "That nephew is disrespectful, to be honest, now my nephew wants to rebuild the old house, and he is ...... at hand."

Xu Guanxi laughed and said: "Everyone thinks that the virtuous nephew is just a nerd, but now it seems that the Chen family is really a tiger father without a dog, just this bearing, it is quite respectful." ”

Chen Mu didn't talk anymore, hugged his fists at Xu Guanxi, and led Sun Youlin and the two out of the inner hall.

Xu Guanxi didn't know what to do, if it was delayed, the project would inevitably be delayed, Li Gudong's stinky temper, he would have to pick up and leave if he couldn't see the materials, so it was good to use this silver for emergency relief.

It's just that Chen Mu was a little worried in his heart: "What kind of means should this Xu Guanxi use?" You need to find someone who is good to refer to, but who is better? ”
