In the afternoon, Feng Chen had nothing to do, so he came to Niu Huilin Orthopedic Hospital again to visit Mrs. Cao. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Eldest grandson, I heard Shanzi say, you want to worship him as a teacher?" Seeing Feng Chen coming in, the old lady asked happily.

"Yes, Grandma." Feng Chen came to the old lady's hospital bed and sat down.

"Okay, okay!" The old lady took Feng Chen's hand and said yes in a loud voice.

"Grandma, how do you feel about your leg injury?" Feng Chen asked with concern.

"It's much better, it doesn't hurt anymore, I want to go back home and raise it, and I'm bored in this hospital." The old lady replied.

"I'll go to the doctor to find a wheelchair, you sit on, and I'll push you out with Wang Ma for a walk?" Feng Chen suggested.

"Okay, my eldest grandson knows grandma." The old lady seems to be a person who likes to be boisterous.

Feng Chen immediately got up, found the doctor's office, asked for a wheelchair, recommended the ward, picked up the old lady in the wheelchair, and then pushed her out of the hospital.

Pushing a wheelchair along the sidewalk on the road, the old lady was very happy and said with a smile: "Eldest grandson, I like to go outside every day when I have nothing to do, and I have been in the hospital for a few days, but I have been suffocated." ”

"Then if I'm okay for the past two days, I'll come over every day and push my grandmother around the street." Feng Chen pushed the wheelchair, lowered his head and said in Mrs. Cao's ear.

"But I heard that you're going to study in Japan soon?" Old Madam Cao seemed to understand everything.

"Yes, grandma, I'm leaving next Monday, so I won't have much time to spend with you in the future."

"Eldest grandson, don't learn from the traitor surnamed Chang, don't be a traitor, Little Japan is very bad, if you become a traitor, grandma won't recognize you." Mrs. Cao babbled and instructed.

"I listen to grandma!" Feng Chen said loudly.

"That's good." The old lady was very satisfied with Feng Chen's attitude.

Feng Chen pushed the old lady around and returned to the hospital, where he saw Gu Jiarong sitting in the ward.

"Hello Rongsheng!" Feng Chen greeted Gu Jiarong.

"Mr. Feng, I went to your house just now, and when I saw that the door was locked, I thought that you must have come to see the old lady, and you are really here." Gu Jiarong got up to help Feng Chen and helped the old lady to lie down on the hospital bed.

"It's okay at home, so I'll come over and chat with the old lady." Feng Chen said.

"I'm looking for you to tell you, the apprenticeship ceremony is ready, the time is set for tomorrow night, the location is Jiangwan Guandi Temple, and I will drive to your house to pick you up when the time comes." Gu Jiarong told Feng Chen the time and place of the apprenticeship ceremony.

"Oh? Ready so soon? Feng Chen asked.

"Yes, don't go anywhere tomorrow night, wait for me at home." Gu Jiarong instructed.

"Good! Thank you, Uncle Rong. Feng Chen said politely.

After explaining the matter, Gu Jiarong said hello to Mrs. Cao and left the hospital.

……

Late at night the next day, the moon was sparse.

Feng Chen found a robe and put it on, dressed like a teacher, and with curiosity and mystery, he prepared to leave his home at No. 137 Renai Lane and go to the Guandi Temple in Jiangwan.

Before going out, her sister Feng Wan, who had not yet slept, looked at Feng Chen's dress curiously and asked, "Brother, dressed like this, it's so late, where are you going?" ”

"Go out and meet a friend." Feng Chen replied casually.

"Will be friends? Boyfriend or girlfriend? Feng Wan glanced at Jing Shujie, who was sitting on the sofa and was also not sleeping.

"What nonsense, you two rest early, I'll be back in a while." Feng Chen said.

"I've never seen a friend at night, and I'm dressed like a private school gentleman." Feng Wan grimaced at Feng Chen.

Feng Chen ignored Feng Wan anymore, went straight out, and got into the car waiting at the door.

Gu Jiarong drove the car and soon came to Jiangwan, stopping in front of the small Guandi Temple near the river, where the apprenticeship ceremony would be held.

Feng Chen had already prepared a red post for apprenticeship in accordance with the rules, and there was a red envelope in the pocket of his robe to respect the teacher.

Before entering the incense room, according to the rules of the Green Gang, Feng Chen could only be regarded as a "son", that is, a person who had not participated in any gang.

After the apprenticeship is completed, you can officially become a member of the Green Gang.

The Qinggang is the second largest gang in old China, second only to Hongmen, and has a history of more than 300 years.

Although the Qinggang has a considerable relationship with Hongmen, due to the implementation of the Zen system, it is different from the Hongmen who call each other brothers, the Qinggang organization is to apprentice to the gang, and the congregation is commensurate with master and apprentice, advocating "master and apprentice are like father and son".

The organization of the Green Gang is stricter than that of Hongmen, and the rules are more complicated, so it is also more secretive, because the composition of the members and the way of joining the association make the development limited, and the scale cannot be compared with Hongmen.

Therefore, there is a folk saying: "One line of the Green Gang, a large area of Hongmen".

There are many theories about the origin of the Qing Gang, but in fact it was formed in the early years of the Yongzheng Dynasty in the Qing Dynasty to carry grain.

It is said that during the Yongzheng period, in order to smooth the way of grain transportation, Emperor Yongzheng made an imperial list, and Qin Chatian Wenjing recruited brave and resourceful people to set up waterway grain transportation.

At that time, there were three friends with different surnames in Hangzhou, and they were willing to accept this position.

These three are divided according to their age, they are Weng Tang, Qian Jian, and Pan Qing.

Weng Tang is a Chang acquaintance in Jiangsu, the word Futing, the number Dehui, and his ancestral home is Liaocheng, Shandong.

Weng Tang was born a talent, but realized that scholars were useless, so he abandoned literature and martial arts, and went to Songshan Shaolin Temple to learn martial arts.

Qian Jian is a native of Wujin, Jiangsu, with the word Fuzhai and the number Dezheng.

Qian Jian's father was a businessman, and he inherited a shrewd brain from his father, but at the age of 16, Qian Jian's parents died one after another, and he had little interest in business, so he abandoned business and martial arts, studied boxing, and later joined the Heaven and Earth Society, and belonged to the same subordinate of Zhang Yue, the leader of the Heaven and Earth Society.

Pan Qing is a native of Hangzhou, Zhejiang, with the name Qingyu and the number Delin.

Pan Qing's ancestral business is solid, so his family has always been very wealthy, Pan Qing has been very smart since he was a child, he is literate, he never forgets, and he is also very talented in poetry and songs.

These three people are known as the "last three ancestors" of the Green Gang, and since there are "last three ancestors", there are naturally "first three ancestors".

Among the "first three ancestors", the first generation of patriarchs was Jin Youzi, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion in the Yongle Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty, and later became a senior monk of Wutai Mountain, with the law name Qingyuan Zen Master.

The second generation patriarch is Luo Qing, an apprentice of Zen Master Qingyuan.

The third-generation patriarch is Lu Kui, named Daoyuan, and is a disciple of Luo Qing.

In fact, the first three ancestors have nothing to do with the formation of the Green Gang, just because Lu Kui is the master of the founders of the Green Gang, Weng Tang, Qian Jian, and Pan Qing, so tracing back to the source, there are "the first three ancestors".

In fact, this is also the first three ancestors of the Green Gang in order to find a correct name for themselves.

In the early days of the establishment of the Youth Gang, Weng Tang, Qian Jian, and Pan Qing jointly founded the three halls, six departments, and 24 generations, and formulated ten gang rules, so that the Youth Gang developed into a very strict gang organization.

The three halls are: Weng You Hall, Pan An Hall, and Qian Bao Hall.

The six departments are: the Introduction Department, the Missionary Department, the Palm Seal Department, the Printing Department, the Ceremonial Department, and the Supervision Department.

The twenty-four generations are arranged according to "pure morality, Wencheng Buddhism, benevolence and wisdom, original self-confidence, Yuan and Ming Xingli, and Datong enlightenment".

The top 10 gang rules are:

1. It is forbidden to deceive teachers and destroy ancestors

2. It is forbidden to disturb the gang rules

3. It is forbidden to despise predecessors

Fourth, it is forbidden to mess with the rivers and lakes

Fifth, it is not allowed to pick up ashes and put them in cages

Sixth, it is not allowed to jump with a water lead

7. Adultery, theft, and adultery are not permitted

8. It is forbidden to respect humility

9. It is not allowed to open the gate to release water

10. It is forbidden to bully the weak and the weak

The Green Gang was once at its peak and had many members, but after the Taiping Rebellion, the power of the Green Gang was almost completely purged, and the gang dispersed.

It was not until after the Opium War that Shanghai became a prosperous open port, and many disciples and grandchildren of the Green Gang gathered here to make a living in various ways and revitalize the power of the Green Gang.

Before the Xinhai Revolution, the Shanghai Youth Gang was dominated by the four-character generation of "Datong Wuxue", and the highest-character generation was the highest.

Cao Youshan is a "big" generation, Feng Chen worships Cao Youshan as an old man, and is listed as a "Tong" generation in the Qing Gang in order, in fact, he is the same generation as Zhang Xiaolin, and a generation higher than Du Yuesheng.

When Feng Chen arrived, Cao Youshan and some of the seniors of the Green Gang and the leading figures in the gang had been waiting for a long time.

The Qinggang apprenticeship has the rules of apprenticeship, Feng Chen cannot enter the temple gate directly, but must go through a certain procedure before entering.
