Chapter Seventy-Eight: Reopening the Mountain Gate

(Thank you for not being tired, thank you for meditating, and thank you for dreaming back.)

"Although the younger generation is shallow and knowledgeable, but also know that Weng, Qian, and Pan Sanzu care for the orphans and widows, benevolence and righteousness, and only then do they have the Cao Gang for more than 100 years The incense has been extended. Among the ten precepts of the Cao Gang, two precepts are to intercept the road and commit murder, three precepts to steal property, five precepts to harm people with litigation sticks, six precepts to deceive people by drugs, seven precepts to deceive people, and eighth, abstain from gathering people to bully widows. But there are Cao Gang disciples who forget their righteousness when they see profit, and a rat poop has ruined the name of the Cao Gang for a hundred years, even if outsiders don't care, if the seniors know, will they sit idly by? In recent years, the mass burial corpses and the Yin gold book that have been rumored in the three places are rumors, no one has taken the thief's stolen goods, Simao originally wanted to stop in the stomach, but today the seniors must discuss the law, Simao can only dare to defend himself, this booklet is only this one, whether to stay or destroy to listen to the respect, the younger generation is all about this, this life is dead or alive to let it fall. After saying this, Simao stood with his head held high, smiling, and his green shirt fluttering, but he was quite a bit sassy and heroic in the face of death.

Everyone present is a character who has been in the turmoil of the rivers and lakes for most of his life, and he is also the old man of the Cao Gang, who hides needles in Simao, but he is speechless when he says conclusive words. Some people feel guilty, and some people have the idea of cherishing their talents, even if they are still stuck in their throats, they can't find a reason to refute them. What they didn't expect was that Simao, a stunned boy, was so powerful, and as soon as he came up, he used the Cao Gang allusion to deduct a big golden bell jar for everyone.

The first thing that the Cao Gang Weng, Qian, and Pan Sanzu did in Hangzhou was not to absorb and organize the underworld, but to open a good church to take in and give to the old widowed grain ship sailors, and to collect and worship the abandoned corpses who had no money to bury, and it was because of these righteous deeds that many believers followed the grand occasion, so the Cao Gang has always been to respect benevolence and righteousness as the foundation of the gang, whether it can be done is one thing, the slogan still has to be passed down from generation to generation, no one dares to openly tear off this banner. So Simao then used the specific behavioral standards of the "Ten Precepts" to knock nails back to his feet, and it was rare that he memorized these precepts backwards, and pointed out every sentence, digging a big pit. As long as the first two are established, the latter words will be ironclad, and the big guys will be driven out of the alley and start to run to the black.

The mass burial corpse refers to the souls of the dead in other places who have been killed by Xu Sandao and his gang in secret caves in recent years, and rumors are flying all over the rivers and lakes in the three towns, of course these gangsters know, but it is still an unsolved case. And the "Yin Jin Book" is a black language, Yin Jin alludes to the ill-gotten wealth of the dead, the book refers to the murder of goods, the death of people, the sale of stolen goods after the murder of thieves and poisons, belongs to the lowest three and the most shameless business on the rivers and lakes, if the children of the Cao Gang violate, according to the gang rules are to be tied to the iron anchor and burned to death after sinking the river, so the average person is reluctant to mention it. What Simao handed to Liu Heipi was a book that recorded the objects, time, and process of the crime sold by Xu Sandao and Liuzi and others, as well as the detailed accounts and records of the three lepers as traitors and Liu Scarzi's bullying and domination, which is also the evidence that Simao painstakingly collected.

Liu Baye took this Yin Jin book, blushed and said: "Why is this booklet just what you say with white teeth, besides, what does it have to do with our Cao Gang?" ”

Simao seemed to have expected that someone would ask this question, and said calmly: "What is not left on the booklet is to fall into the hands of people with ulterior motives to make waves, but people are doing it, the sky is watching, the eighth master, you are a senior, the rivers and lakes are chaotic, but the antelope hangs its horns, and there is no trace of things since ancient times, and the younger generations are not so bold, not so capable, and not so much hatred to blame the Cao Gang." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was silent, Yan Xingji glanced at Liu Ba with slightly dissatisfied eyes, Simao's answer was a heart-wrenching word, they were all old rivers and lakes, the people, places, times, events, ins and outs of this booklet, the details of the thieves, and the path of selling the stolen goods were clear and clear, and at a glance, it was clear that it was not fabricated out of thin air, and it took a lot of effort and a lot of effort, and the ironclad evidence was impossible to refute. Liu Ba, as a senior in the gang, is obviously inferior to this question, with the taste of annoyance, anger and anger, which is a bit embarrassing. Therefore, although everyone does not break the truth, but keeping silent together is to show their attitude and position.

At this moment, Liu Heipi's old way came, and after exchanging glances with Yan Xingji, he turned his head and said to Simao without a trace: "Your words are finished, and then I will help the Zhonggong to discuss, and I will ask the Simao brothers to temporarily use tea in the hall, and I will definitely give you an explanation today." ”

Simao smiled and bowed his hands one by one, and stopped talking nonsense, turned around and walked out of the incense hall under the leadership of Bang Ding, and faintly heard a "buzz" in the hall behind him, and Simao slowly stole a long breath. At this moment, a helper who came in from outside hurriedly walked to Yan Xingji's side, lowered his head and whispered a few words, and stuffed something into Yan Xingji's hand.

The so-called public discussion was actually just a quarrel, and when the people present were divided into three factions, Yan Xingji always sat silently on the side and did not say a word. One faction is based on Liu Heipi's opinion, and strongly advocates that Simao cannot be killed, on the grounds that he has broken the ancestral teachings, broken his name, acted unjustly, and has a dry day. One faction is dominated by Liu Ba's opinions, the reason is that the gang Zhongcheng is the first to discuss and change the collective decision-making casually, isn't it child's play, and even proposed that opening this incense hall today is a superfluous move. And Simao's words are unfounded, without verification, a little bang made the Cao Gang change their minds, and it is not a big joke to spread it. The third faction neither supports nor opposes, but puts forward a new proposition, whether what Simao said is true or false, once it is spread by Simao, won't the reputation of the Cao Gang be stinky, and how will the brothers go out to meet people in the future? When everyone was arguing and there were different opinions, Yan Xingji coughed lightly: "I have an idea, how about you brothers and brothers go through it together?" ”

The incense hall immediately quieted down, and Yan Xingji said slowly: "Now I can't care about what is right and wrong, the Cao Gang in the three towns of our mouth has been passed down for more than 20 generations, and the ancestor appreciates food and eats, and it is the boat that supports the family to survive, and the name that runs north and south is unblocked." The old gang leader grabbed my blind man's neck and neck that year, I knelt in front of his old man's bed and said a word, An Qing does not distinguish between far and near, and enters the Qingmen family, and does not change the boat to a gold mountain, and does not change the example to a silver mountain, and the old gang leader closed his eyes. From the former Ming Dynasty to the present, there have been disasters, famines, bandits on this thousand-mile waterway, and even the court has changed a few stubbles, and our Cao Gang children have not broken up after suffering hahaha, the root is on this sentence, no one can dig this old root, as long as this old root is kept, the descendants of the Cao Gang will have a job from generation to generation, and the top priority is to take care of the reputation of the Cao Gang, and our brothers have to keep their faces to see the ancestors. Don't fight with you today, don't make trouble with him, I'll go home as soon as I go, the fault is this, the right is this, I want to open the mountain gate to accept this kid into the Cao Gang. ”
