Chapter 101: A stick of incense, a life
Three days later, Zuo Datong's funeral was held in a low-key manner in the southern suburbs of Sioux City, and nearly 100 disciples of the Zuo Gang stood in front of Zuo Datong's coffin, respectfully saluting and offering incense.
Chen Fan sat alone on a blue-tiled roof, holding a bottle of spirits for a few yuan in his hand, and he was sipping without a mouthful.
Presiding over the funeral was Rose, who was dressed in black plain clothes, standing behind the incense ding, whenever someone came to offer incense, she would bend her knees slightly, while Shen Yu and Zhang Da on the side would say a few words between Rose and the incense person.
The funeral was turned into a transfer of power by Rose, which made Chen Fan have to admire Rose's ability, originally, he was still a little worried about Rose's lack of ability, but now it seems that she has become the new leader of the Left Gang, which is more than enough.
There was a sound of heavy footsteps on the roof, and Zhang Da, a bald and shirtless man, carried a stall of old wine, regardless of the broken tiles, sat beside Chen Fan, stretched out his big hand, slapped the second pot head in Chen Fan's hand with a slap, and threw the big jar of wine in his arms.
"That's what a man should drink. ”
Zhang Da's hip bones were stamped with red wine lees, and his mouth and roof were full of alcohol.
Chen Fan opened the sealing ring on the jar, and a refreshing aroma of wine entered his nostrils, which made him feel shocked, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath, nostalgic for the taste of wine.
"If you don't finish drinking this jar of wine, you just look down on me Zhang Da and my brothers. ”
Zhang Da burped and stared at Chen Fan drunkenly.
Chen Fan shook his head, put the wine jar to his mouth, took a sip, the mellow and hot wine entered his throat, like a knife, he laughed, and said: "Old eight, the friendship between us is not deep, right? To be honest, you almost died in my hands that day." ”
Zhang Da suddenly took the wine jar in Chen Fan's arms, and poured it into the big mouth for a while, and when he wiped his mouth, the sturdy man suddenly became teary-eyed, "It is precisely because we don't have a deep friendship that Lao Tzu wants to come over to drink with you, and the copper master gave you everything, but you can't even go over a stick of incense, are you worthy of him? Have you seen that woman, she can go sideways in Sioux City in the future, why do you want to give up all this?"
"As I said, I'm not on my mind, if you're pretty old, you can kill that woman...... If you can. Chen Fan's eyes flashed with a ray of profundity.
"Bullshit, I don't know how much ability Lao Tzu has?" Zhang Da seemed to have been greatly humiliated, and then looked up at the seaside in the distance, " Five years ago, Lao Tzu was just a mud leg on the wharf to move cement, resisting dozens of tons of cement a day, earning 200 yuan, earning 6,000 a month, tens of thousands a year, enough for my family's old father and mother to live comfortably in their old age, but, that unconscionable foreman, actually wanted to rely on Lao Tzu's hard-earned money, when I was desperate, it was the copper master who helped me, he in front of me, threw the foreman into the sea to feed the fish, since then, the wharf workers have followed the copper master to eat, do you think, the left gang is a knife every day to rob and steal the villain? I'm telling you, no, we just don't want to be bullied, why do you look down on you, why do you want to be alone?"
Chen Fan stared at Zhang Da, who roared like a leopard, his eyes were red, "Lead the way, I'll go and give Tong Ye a stick of incense." ”
When Zhang Da heard Chen Fan's words, he immediately threw away the jar in his hand and helped Chen Fan set up a ladder so that Chen Fan could come down from the roof safely, but Chen Fan smiled faintly and jumped down from the roof with an arrow.
Zhang Da's complexion changed several times, and he followed behind Chen Fan, "You are so good, why don't you be our boss, although that woman also has the ability...... However, she can't control it, now some people in the Left Gang have already circled their own places and started their own businesses, and they no longer have much loyalty to the Left Gang, and not long ago, someone smuggled drugs...... If this continues, the Left Gang will be finished. ”
Chen Fan stopped, patted Zhang Da's shoulder, and said, "I'll leave as soon as I stick incense, don't persuade me." ”
Chen Fan walked through an iron wall, walked in front of dozens of Daoshang brothers lined up, and silently came to the coffin of the eight-fingered bronze master.
Rose hurriedly glanced at Chen Fan and gave Shen Yu a look, Shen Yu handed Chen Fan a pillar of red incense, and was about to sing the eulogy.
"Wait!"
But just then, a man stepped out of the crowd.
The man's explosion made everyone's eyes focus on Chen Fan.
Chen Fan couldn't help but stop lighting incense, turned to look at the man who stopped him, this person was about thirty-seven or eighteen, with a narrow face and thick ears, wide eyebrows and big eyes, long legs and short hands, holding a string of precious sandalwood beads in his right hand, holding a precious pipe in his left hand, and behind him, he was followed by two bodyguards with sunglasses. Although these three people were wearing black clothes, there was no trace of mourning on their expressions.
Chen Fan frowned, but saw Shen Yu take a few steps forward, came to Chen Fan's side, and said in a low voice: "This is Wan San, a helmsman at the southern suburbs wharf, responsible for the transportation of import and export goods, after the copper master is not in good health...... He secretly started a new business and made a poisonous fortune with the Burmese. ”
Chen Fan's heart suddenly became a little clear, he looked at the man in front of him, and said, "It turned out to be Wan Sanye, why, I can't use incense?"
Wan San saw Chen Fan calling him the third master, a touch of pride flashed on his face, he filled a cigar into his pipe, and the man in sunglasses behind him stepped forward and helped him light the cigar, he took a puff of smoke, looked Chen Fan up and down, and said: " When the copper master was alive, the important things were entrusted to me to do, when the copper master left, I was busy with business matters, and now the copper master is gone, this left gang, it seems that I should have the final say, this woman is in front of the spirit of the copper master, that is when I see her look watery, give her a little face, it just happens that this scene is too depressing, there is a beautiful woman to soothe the atmosphere is also good, as for you...... A cat and a dog are also worthy of paying tribute to the bronze master?"
"Wansan, you dog, Lao Tzu will kill you with one punch!!"
When Zhang Da heard this, he clenched his fist and was about to smash it at the man, but the man in sunglasses behind Wan San took out a gun and put it against Zhang Da's waist.
Wan San took a puff of green smoke at Zhang Da, the corners of his mouth showed a smug look, and he waved his hand at the man in sunglasses behind him, looking indifferent, "It's just a reckless man, don't be so nervous, it's Shen Qiye, it's really disappointing that you stand in front of this woman and mourn and hand incense...... I think that this left gang, in addition to me, should be the one who can sit in the first place. ”
Shen Yu, who was very short, arched his hand towards Wan San, and did not show his emotions as intensely as Zhang Da, but said lightly: "Wan Sanye, Tong Ye did take a fancy to you when he was alive, but I have to remind you that Tong Ye paved the way of business, not for you to smuggle boats, and if you can also clean up the fox gang like Miss Rose, you can indeed sit on the top spot...... In addition, this Mr. Chen, who is incense, is ......"
"That's enough!" Wan San interrupted Shen Yu's words, his eyes flashed with contempt, "Who can come to the funeral of the bronze master, who doesn't have any business and territory in Suzhou City, who is he? Let's take a look...... Is he a puppy?"
Wan San opened his arms and laughed at the others, and the hundred and ten people side by side, some nodded in agreement, some were expressionless, some were holding the attitude of watching the play, some were angry, and only a few brothers who were on the sea and sky ship that day looked at Wan San's eyes full of pity.
"Hahaha!"
Just when Wan San mobilized the atmosphere and forced the people present to choose the team to his side, Chen Fan's laughter overshadowed Wan San's roar and quieted everyone down.
Rose looked at Chen Fan, who was smiling unscrupulously, a smile flashed inexplicably at the corner of her mouth, and she stroked her forehead, looking like she had a headache, "I have to increase the budget for the coffin fee again...... It's nerve-wracking. ”
Shen Yu stared at Wan San, silently opened a black umbrella, turned around, and protected the umbrella in front of the coffin, only Zhang Da, who was so angry that his face was red and his neck was thick, and he wanted to help Chen Fan, but he was pointed at a gun by the two sunglasses men behind Wan San, and he couldn't move.
"Boy, what are you laughing at?"
Wan San plucked the cigar from his pipe, tilted it to the corner of his mouth, the beads in his hand fluttered, and a pair of eyes looked at Chen Fan with stolen eyes.
Chen Fan bowed the unlit incense in his hand to Zuo Datong's coffin, showed a look of sadness, and said: "You are right, Tong Ye should not have left, he was alone, and he left in too much hurry, so that he did not finish all the work that should be done." ”
"What kind of work? Who do you mean is in charge?"
"No...... It is the follow-up work to clean up the remnants. ”
An evil smile flashed at the corner of Chen Fan's mouth, and the red incense in his hand swooped into Wan San's neck, and blood spurted out along the red incense.
Wan San, who had just opened his mouth to say something, suddenly twitched violently, he raised his hand, wanting to do something, but found that it became so difficult to breathe, he breathed hard, and green smoke was smoking rings in his nostrils and mouth.
The ticking of hot blood doused the cigar at the corner of his mouth.
The red incense is even more showy.
Chen Fan pulled out the red incense, pointed it towards the candle, lit it, and inserted it in the incense stick, the red incense burned vigorously, very red, and the taste was very strong. All the people couldn't help but reach out and touch their necks, for fear of turning into the red incense on the incense ding, and the two people who were originally holding guns at Zhang Da were even more frightened at the moment when Wansan fell to the ground, and wanted to escape, but were knocked to the ground by Zhang Da's two punches.
"I'm really just here to incense. ”
Chen Fan swept away the frightened crowd, shook his hand, and walked outside.
"Who is he?"
A man asked in a hoarse voice.
"The person that the copper master has been looking for all these years. ”
