Chapter 958: Turmoil in front of the spirit
Early the next morning, Li Hei and Yan Shiwei rushed to the house of the head of the Wenhui. As the right-hand men of the Lord, they do not have to keep vigil for the Lord, but it is not appropriate to keep watch before the spirit during the day.
Today, there are many gangs who have just received the news or who were watching yesterday rushed to offer condolences, and Li Hei and Yan Shiwei accompanied the head of the Wen Shaohui to greet them one by one and accept condolences.
Regarding Li Hei and Yan Shiwei's series of strange behaviors since Wen Changxing's death, Wen Bin obviously also noticed that something was wrong, and he did not insist on immediately returning the color to the Shunzi Gate, but in silence, he maintained an obvious distance and vigilance towards Li Hei and Yan Shiwei, the two elders.
While the three of them were handling the aftermath for Wen Changxing, they met with the various stewards of the gang separately, and a semi-public contest was quietly going on in front of the mourning hall.
In fact, Wen Bin didn't know what Li Hei and Yan Shiwei were going to do, he couldn't guess, but he couldn't help but take precautions, so after discovering that Li Hei and Yan Shiwei had a tandem move, Wen Bin immediately strengthened his contact with Shili, who was loyal to the Wen family.
But the stewards loyal to the Wen family didn't care too much about this undercurrent, and they were worried that Jiaolong would lose its mouth. Caokou has a small number of people in the Cao Gang, or even only one person, but he has Liliang who competes with Cao Fist and becomes the right and left hand of the gang leader, just because he has a special resource - official Liliang.
And the official liliang is an indispensable and important liliang of the Cao Gang, without the official backing, like the Jiaolong Society, hundreds of boats, thousands of brothers, a big gang of thousands of brothers, from Yangzhou all the way to Chang'an, the cost is afraid that it will more than double, then it is difficult to maintain.
Now that winter is about to begin, this year's water transport has basically ended, and there will be a three-month rest period, during which there will be no problems. But when they go down to Yangzhou in the spring next year, if they still can't get on the line with the official powerful figures, then the Jiaolong Club will be over.
Maybe the important people in the gang know who Jun Ruyan is in the official relationship, but this does not mean that they are qualified or capable of replacing Jun Ruyan to establish direct contact with this person.
The biggest feature of the unspoken rule is the word "unspoken", those officials who are willing to open the door to them for personal interests are not worried that there is no source of gray income, what they need first is safety, absolute security, once something happens. They cannot be implicated.
Therefore, there must be someone they trust to match, and they are willing to establish contact with them, such as Jun Ruyan, or those officials' classmates. Either they are under the same division, or they have the friendship of the same country. In short, they are inextricably linked.
It's hard to imagine that these Jianghu people don't pass through these special "brokers". Instead, they directly carried a box of gold and silver to the door, and those officials would be dazzled by the money and promise to be their protectors.
But what Wen Bin is most worried about at the moment is that the position of the master will be next to others, standing in different positions, and considering different interests, which is understandable. I saw that the stewards were absent-minded. Wen Bin thought of his father-in-law again, Wei Yongtang, the leader of the Sky Eagle Gang.
The Wei gang leader is a man from all over the world, and he is very righteous, not to mention that it was his future son-in-law who asked for help, so after receiving Wen Bin's message for help. Gang Leader Wei immediately came to the Wen family again.
Wei Yongtang took his daughter to respectfully put a pillar of incense on his old friend, and then said to Li Hei and Yan Shiwei: "Master Hei, Brother Yan, many things have happened in the past two days, and the people of the Jiaolong Society are also panicking. Originally, this was the matter of the Jiaolong Society, and Wei should not have a beak, but Wei and the owner of the Wenhui are good brothers, and now the two families are going to get married, both public and private, Wei should help one or two, and please don't think Wei is presumptuous. ”
Yan Shiwei said: "Gang Master Wei is polite, I don't know what Gang Master Wei means......?" ”
Wei Yong Tang Zhengse said: "I foolishly think that now I will help Wenxian's nephew to take the throne as soon as possible, and succeed him as the head of the association, so as to appease everyone!" ”
Li Hei calmed his face, wiped his eyelids and said, "The monarch and vice chairman are sick in bed right now, and he can't discuss matters. As the head of the Jiaolong Society, if you can't attend the inauguration ceremony of the leader, I'm afraid that the middle and upper levels of the gang will be even more uneasy. For now, let's concentrate on the funeral of the master, and I will have to rest for two or three months on the Caohe River, so I am not in a hurry to help the master. ”
Wei Yongtang's eyes narrowed, and he said nonchalantly: "Hei Ye, how many people can be cured of a stroke?" Even if the monarch's vice-chairman gradually recovers, it is probably the result of a bad behavior and slurred speech, this Caokou helm will change hands sooner or later, Hei Ye still wants to wait for the monarch's vice-chairman to recover, isn't he afraid of others gossiping? ”
Yan Shiwei suddenly interjected: "What the black master said is reasonable, even if the deputy leader of the monarch can't be cured, we should find another Caokou, if there is no Caokou, the young master will definitely be greatly inferior when he ascends the throne, it will be difficult to make the brothers in the gang return, and it will also make other gangs laugh." ”
Wei Yongtang's eyes shrank slightly, Li Hei and Yan Shiwei had always disagreed with him, but now that these two people were out of one nostril, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. Wei Yongtang thought for a moment and asked, "Then do Hei Ye and Brother Yan have candidates for Caokou to take the helm?" ”
Li Hei said: "Vice President Yan and I are both from the rivers and lakes, and we have no way to be official, where can we find a mouth?" ”
Wei Yongtang said: "That's it, our Heavenly Eagle Gang's Caokou helm can help, as for the benefits, how much did you give before, and how much do you still have?" ”
Yan Shiwei sneered twice and said, "Caokou is at the helm and has become a member of your Sky Eagle Gang, and the leader of the sect is your son-in-law, the leader of the Wei gang, will there still be the existence of the Jiaolong Society at that time?" Your Wei gang leader has a good plan, is this marrying a daughter or recruiting a son-in-law, and even the entire Jiaolong Club belongs to your Sky Eagle Gang? ”
Wei Yongtang's face changed, and he said: "Yan Shiwei, what do you mean by this, the Jiaolong Society is in such a situation now, Wei is kind to help, firstly, thinking of the friendship with the master of the Wenhui, and secondly, thinking that your young master is about to become Wei's son-in-law, how can you ever have any selfishness?" ”
Wen Bin interjected: "Seniors, there is no need to argue, I am willing to accept the help of Lord Yue!" ”
Li Hei raised his eyelids, glanced at him lightly, and said, "You are not the master of the society now, so you are the home of the Jiaolong Society?" ”
The voice of this sentence is not high, but the meaning is as heavy as a mountain, Wen Bin's face turned red when he heard it, and he couldn't say half a sentence for a while, and there was only one thought rumbling in his ears: "They really gave birth to different hearts, they really gave birth to different hearts." ”
Wei Xiaoxiao was shocked and angry: "Li Hei, what are you talking about? Although Wen Bin is not the master now, can this master be replaced by someone else? You are a great rebellion, deceiving teachers and destroying ancestors! ”
Li Hei glanced at her and said angrily: "It's a big rebellion, deceiving the teacher and destroying the ancestors?" The old man doesn't have the ability to do it, but the seniority is high enough! Even your father has to call me an old man, and Li Hei is also called by you? A girl who doesn't know how to be respectful or inferior, and doesn't know how to grow up or young! Slowly, you haven't married into the Jiaolong Club yet, even if you become the wife of the club, what qualifications do you have to dictate the affairs of the meeting? I don't care about you! ”
This sentence didn't give any face at all, Wei Xiaoxiao's face was red when he scolded him, Wei Yongtang's face suddenly darkened, and he sneered: "Since Wen Changxing passed away, Wei has felt that something is wrong, and now he has finally shown up with a dagger?" Good! Li Hei, if you have any tricks, use them, I'll continue! ”
Yan Shiwei rolled his eyes, and said in a weird manner: "When do you need your Wei Gang Master to take over the matter of my Jiaolong Society?" ”
Wei Yongtang slapped Wen Bin's shoulder heavily, Wen Bin's thin little body was almost slapped down by this slap, Wei Yongtang said sharply: "Just because he is my son-in-law, my father-in-law stands up for my son-in-law, does it conform to the rules of the road?" ”
The two sides theorized in front of the spirit, at first the voice was still small, and everyone did not notice it, but later when they saw the two sides changing their voices and changing colors, they knew that something was happening, and there was already silence in all directions, but they could only see that the two sides seemed to have a dispute but could not hear what the two sides said.
At this time, Wei Yongtang said a loud sentence, everyone heard it clearly, they finally knew that something was wrong, and the members of the various gangs who came to mourn immediately rushed forward, while the managers of the Jiaolong Society, who had received instructions from Li Hei, Yan Shiwei or Wen Bin in advance, stood there with a calm face.
"Get out of the way, Wannian County will do things, idle people, etc., all avoid!"
With a shout, the two sides in front of the mourning hall looked at each other in amazement, and saw a group of Tsing Yi soap boots, with locks and shackles in their hands, and waist knives in their hands, and all the heroes in front of the mourning hall were stunned for a while.
What is there in this Ba Shang has always been solved by the Ba Shang people themselves, and the special state of existence for many years has made the Ba Shang people develop such a habit, when do they need the government to intervene? Whoever asks the government to come forward is a public enemy, and the vulnerable groups dare not break this rule, and those who dare to break this rule do not need to break it, but this rule is still broken today.
When the fast hunters arrived at the mourning hall, they divided left and right, and a person flashed in the middle. Although the public of Wannian County really hasn't appeared on Ba for almost 10,000 years, they are no strangers to this person, because they have to come to the door to pay their respects every New Year's Day.
This person is the county lieutenant of Wannian, surnamed Lang and Wen. In the past, when I saw him during the New Year's Festival, he came to the door with a generous gift, and the county lieutenant Lang had always smiled kindly, but today the face of the county lieutenant Lang was gloomy and terrible, which discouraged some people who wanted to come forward to pay tribute.
County Lieutenant Lang didn't squint, walked to the front of the mourning hall and stood still, drooping his eyelids and asking, "Who is Wen Bin?" ”
Wen Bin came to the door for his father more than once and gave gifts to this Lang Shibo, but now when he saw him like this, he was very dazed, and hurriedly stepped forward and arched his hand: "Lang Shibo, little nephew ......"
"Shut up! Who is your uncle? ”
The official word opened his mouth, turned his face and didn't recognize people, and the county lieutenant Lang said with righteousness and righteousness: "Wen Bin, your matter has happened, come here, take him down for me!" ”
P: We sincerely ask for commuter passes and recommended tickets!. (To be continued......)
