Shentu Kong Xiang did not hesitate to smile, but no one could ignore his existence on any occasion, and he said unhurriedly: "As Li Ling's guarantor brother, I must make it clear that Li Ling is from my Hongmen; As the master of the torture hall, any punishment imposed on Li Ling must be subject to my consent. is so desperate to kill Li Ling, is there still my existence? Are there any rules to speak of? The louder he spoke, the more angry he was.

In the noisy incident, after the coercion of his two sentences, no one dared to answer the question. Everyone held their breath, even Yan Baoqi, the first hall master of the Outer Eight Halls, was pale and didn't say a word.

Inside the Hongmen, the mountain lord is not terrible, but the terrible thing is the master of the torture hall. And Shentu Kong Xiang's middle-aged talents did not rely on their qualifications to get up, but with high merit and hard work, and they were promoted step by step, and no one dared to underestimate them. What's more, he is upright, iron-faced, selfless, and dedicated to public duties, which makes people both respectful and afraid.

Shentu Kong Xiang looked around, everyone was trembling and feeling like a man's back. This kind of momentum of the superior made Li Ling envious, so many heroes in the rivers and lakes all bowed their heads and subordinated, and they didn't know when they would reach this point. Shentu Kong Xiang continued: "Regardless of the rules and family laws, one by one they want to put Li Ling to death, I think whoever dares to be bold and lawless, I will also cut off your nine heads." ”

His words were obviously directed at Yan Baoqi, and he didn't show any mercy. It's just that Yan Baoqi didn't dare to refute because of his prestige.

Shen Zhongkui was carried away by hatred, and said under pressure: "According to the words of the hall master, could it be that my son died in vain like this." ”

You Fei has followed Shentu Kong Xiang to go around in the past two years, and he is very fond of him, and today with his support, You Fei suddenly felt raised his eyebrows, and resumed his laughing expression, and said: "Otherwise, you and Li Ling will go head-to-head, and we will all be referees." ”

Shen Zhongkui was angry, and he heard in Jinan City that Li Ling was superb in kung fu and made a name for himself in the hooligan world. And he's just a bad old man who is getting old, isn't he looking for abuse alone?

Shentu Kong Xiang also felt amused, and said: "Li Ling will carefully explain the causes and consequences of killing Shen Zhongkui's son, and let everyone comment on it." ”

Li Ling sorted out his thoughts for a moment and said slowly: "When I saw a Japanese bullying a Chinese woman in Jinan City that day, I stepped forward and seriously injured the Japanese. Originally, no one knew that I had done it, but later I heard that it was Shen Zhongkui's son, Shen Tianfu, who reported me, and he sent someone to secretly spy on my whereabouts and report the news to the government. Only then did the Japanese Embassy and the Beiyang Government make me wanted by the whole city. ”

"In Jinan City, a group of little brothers formed a force and pushed me as the leader. And Shen Tianfu, as my subordinate, colluded with the housekeeper of the Shen Mansion to get rid of me as soon as possible, so that he could get ahead. On the night before I was arrested, I infiltrated Shen's house with two brothers and killed Shen Tianfu and his housekeeper. That's how things came about. ”

"......Boom", hundreds of people in the hall seemed to explode, and the people in the hall couldn't help but start scolding Shen Tianfulai, even if Shentu Kong Xiang wanted to stop it, he felt powerless.

Hongmen as an anti-Qing organization. As long as the Qing Dynasty existed, Hongmen had a history of as many years. has been fighting against the government, even if it has reached the Republic of China, it can't stop Hongmen from hating the government. Some gang rules are imprinted in black and white, and all of them are deeply disgusted by traitors who collude with the government.

There are four sisters and seven sisters in the eight halls outside the Hongmen, and it is because there have been traitors in these two positions that they have committed the taboo of the Hongmen, so they left the idle positions of the two women. The confrontation between Hongmen and the Qing government has endured for hundreds of years, and it is a strict requirement for its own organization, especially traitors, even if it is a full help, it must be resolutely cracked down.

And Shen Tianfu, as Li Ling's subordinate, for the sake of his own future, committed chaos, which is even more intolerable to the gang. The foundation of the gang pays attention to the word "loyalty", which is also the spiritual belief of the gang. If it is bullying and disorder, it will not be tolerated by any gang.

"Colluding with the government and committing chaos, no matter which crime Shen Tianfu receives, the death penalty is the lightest."

"If it is in the hands of my Hongmen, there are many gang rules that can kill him."

"This kind of person should be scraped with a thousand knife fish scales, and it is too cheap to kill directly."

"Li Ling killed well, and he killed well. If I see this situation, even if it is not my Hongmen business, I will eradicate it by the way. ”

"What is Li Ling's crime in implementing family law to eradicate traitors? We almost framed a good man. ”

“……”

Hongmen heroes love and hate clearly. At this time, even some big men who had fought with Li Ling strongly supported him. Of the hundreds of people present, none of them were not scolding Shen Tianfu and praising Li Ling. Even Li Ling himself felt that things were so dramatic. I knew that this would be the case, and I explained the matter in that broken temple, how could I still be nervous until now.

Although there are gang rules and criminal law regulations, if you face a one-sided situation, no one can stop it, not to mention that Li Ling stands in a position of righteousness.

Shen Zhongkui listened to the discussion on both sides, and he was almost fainting with anger. I also know that this is the case, even if I want to refute it, I have no words. Yan Baoqi's red face turned even redder, glared at Shen Zhongkui fiercely, and left the table.

Yuan Taopu, the deputy mountain master, didn't expect things to suddenly turn around, and tried his best to suppress the noise of everyone, and said: "This matter still needs to be verified, if what Li Ling said is true, I should be a good man in Hongmen, and no one can bully me." That's the end of today's business, let's all disperse. ”

Although it is said that it is scattered, some people are bustling, even if the inner eight hall masters are almost gone, few people below have left the gate.

Li Ling was able to pay homage to Shentu Kong Xiang and Zhang Jingzhai, the uncle of the hall, at this time. At this time, I heard Shentu Kong Xiang say that Sun Yuzhu, He Jiatang and others also escaped the catastrophe that day, so I put my mind at ease.

Jing Zhai said with a smile: "Li Ling's popularity is good, before you enter my door, there are so many people who defend you." ”

Li Ling's heart moved, and he pulled up Lu Liansheng, who was about to leave, and said, "Thanks to Brother Lian Sheng today, if we don't give up, can we become brothers of the opposite sex?" ”

Lu Liansheng laughed and said, "I have long had this intention, but I am afraid that Brother Ling will dislike it." In ancient times, there were three knots in Taoyuan. We might as well hit the sun another day, I think we will add You Fei today, and the three of us will be righteous, so that everyone can be a witness. ”

You Fei was also overjoyed and shouted, "I'll go to Zhang Luo, you wait a while." ”

Fortunately, this temple is used as an incense hall inside the Hongmen, and there are all kinds of things inside. And the incense white paper fan and the alliance certificate are the abbots and hosts of the temple, and they are quite enthusiastic. Among the three, Lu Lian is the longest, You Fei is the second, and Li Ling is the youngest. The exchange of Jin Lan spectrum, and the ceremony of kneeling and kowtowing and drinking blood wine is held in turn.

Hongmen respects good men, and many people are very envious, but their friendship is shallow, and they can only be blessed. After the ceremony, the three of them invited everyone to eat and drink as usual. Shentu Kong Xiang smiled: "You all go, if I go, I'm afraid everyone won't be able to eat." Pulling Zhang Jingzhai and leaving here.

Although Li Ling came to Yangzhou for the first time, he had a good reputation in the casino, and everyone was willing to make friends. And Lu Liansheng, as the fifth in the line of Hongmen Mountain, has made countless friends up and down. Although You Fei's home is in Zhenjiang, he also knows many people in Yangzhou. The three of them had a big feast, and three hundred tables were set up in the "Drunken Fragrance Building" that night.

These days, I come to the "Drunken Fragrance Building" every day, and the boss is like seeing the God of Wealth. How could it be that the upper, middle and lower floors couldn't be opened, and only the flowing water seats came in waves. The flowing water mat was set up for two whole days. Not only the Hongmen Gang arrived, but even some bandits from other gangs such as the Qing Gang sent people to congratulate them. The names of Li Ling and the three also resounded in Yangzhou and some areas of Jianghuai.

In the past few days, Ye Wan has been quite enthusiastic, and she and Qian Xuping have worked together to help Zhang Luo entertain guests. When the guests arrived, they had to give gifts, and she was in charge of everything, and when she finally summed up, she was actually shocked, reaching nearly two thousand oceans. However, in addition to the money for the banquet, there was still a lot of money, and the rest was paid by Lu Liansheng.

became brothers of the opposite sex, and the three of them suddenly felt cordial, especially Li Ling, who had longed for friendship since he was a child, and had two more siblings, which made him overjoyed. This is the first time that it is true that it is a soror. Although He Jiatang and Sun Yuzhu have long been involved in life and death, no formal ceremony was held.

Originally, Lu Liansheng asked the two of them to live in his house permanently, but the leading uncle was about to arrive, and he chose a good day and an auspicious day to open the hall and release tickets, and Li Ling didn't bother to move around. Late that night, Li Ling couldn't sleep after tossing and turning, so he simply got up and walked around the yard. But I saw Silent Zhao sitting on a futon and chanting with his eyes closed. Li Ling was in awe, knowing that he was the governor of Cheng back then, dedicated to the people, even if he prayed late at night now, it was estimated that he was compassionate to all sentient beings.

Seeing someone coming, Shizhao's eyes opened slightly, and then closed again.

Li Ling didn't dare to slack off, so he also found a futon to sit down, and said: "The master is a high-ranking monk, and if there are some things that I don't understand, please ask the master to solve one or two doubts." ”

"Speak." The face of the silent light did not wave, but the white beard trembled slightly.

"The world is in turmoil again, the people are displaced, the people are struggling to make a living, and the people are mourning. As a young man, it is difficult to let go of all kinds of miserable things. I don't know where to go, and I ask the master to show me the way. ”

Silent Zhao raised his eyes and looked at him, pointed to the outside of Hanshan Temple, and said nothing.

Li Ling realized, and said: "What does the master mean to go out and wander, contact the people, uncover the rod, and help the society to save the people?" ”

"I mean, where are you going back and forth, don't pretend to be here with me, thinking that you are compassionate and concerned about people's livelihood?" Silent Zhao said coldly.

Li Ling was stunned for a while, a little crying and laughing, and said: "I'm ashamed, the master is the real people-oriented." In order to prevent Jiangsu from being ruined, he resolutely opposed the Qing Dynasty with the high position of governor and cooperated with Mr. Sun Yat-sen to establish the Republic of China. ”

"It was Chen Qimei who sent Yu Qiaqing to give me a million oceans, and I raised my banner." Silent light has no emotion.

Li Ling was a little sluggish for a while. In his heart, Cheng De has always been a great hero for the country and the people, but what he heard today is seriously inconsistent with the facts, and it was said by the other party himself, which subverted the cognition in his heart. Li Ling still didn't believe it now, and asked: "Back then, you stood up to block the muzzle of the Tsarist Russian artillery, could it be that someone gave you silver?" ”

Silent Zhao glanced at him and said, "Did you think that Tsarist Russia would really open fire?" It's just a shock. I said you don't bother, I'm going to rest, don't bother me. With that, he got up and walked inside.

Li Ling was dumbfounded, this moment subverted his thoughts, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time
