Chapter Seventy-Six: Attendance!
Before the meeting, the reception banquet of the new city lord became the top priority of Beiwu City. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
After the sky gradually darkened, dozens of carriages and horses gathered at the door of the windy building, blocking the water. The horses pulling the cart all looked very good, and they obviously had an unusual bloodline.
The carriages of the carriage are finely carved and extravagant, and all kinds of people gather together, but there are some postures of luxury cars gathered in Yue Ping's previous life.
One by one, the faces of fierce gods and evil spirits or noble people walked into the Fengmanlou and greeted each other. No matter what conflicts the parties had in the past, at this time and place, everyone was talking with a smile on their faces, as if the past holidays did not exist.
After all, for the people of this world, the city lord's reception banquet is equivalent to a gathering of the upper echelons of Beiwu City. The friction in the past was small, but observing the wrist and attitude of this newcomer city lord is a big thing.
It's in everyone's interest.
The whole Fengmanlou has been packed, and it does not accept any individual customers. This banquet was led by the only three remaining gangs, as well as the three big businessmen who almost monopolized the business of ingredients, medicinal materials, iron ore, tobacco, etc.
It is said that they are businessmen, but in fact, all of them have military force, and they are not weak. They also have a large number of martial artists under their hands. In a place like the border wilderness, there is no strong force in the body, and no matter how big the foundation is, it is just a castle in the air, and it may be taken away by others at any time.
Chen Hexiang and a group of martial arts hall owners, a group of about a dozen people, stepped into the Fengmanlou. There are dozens of large and small martial arts halls in Beiwu City, and not everyone is qualified to participate in this reception banquet. However, although the forces on the side of the martial arts hall are loose, they are not small. Fame and prestige are faint, and the owner of the martial arts hall headed by Chen Hexiang must of course be invited.
"Pavilion Master Chen!"
One of the organizers who greeted the guests in the lobby, Xu Bangcheng, who controlled the food purchase business, laughed and greeted him:
"Pavilion Master Zhao, Pavilion Master Qi, Pavilion Master Huang...... Long time no see. ”
Xu Bangcheng didn't fall one by one, pointed out one by one, and arched his hand:
"Pavilion Master Chen, I want to welcome guests here, so I won't accompany you in. Don't be surprised, I'll have a drink with you when the dinner begins. Xiao Song, you will bring the pavilion masters in place of me. ”
A young man walked over behind him, and Xu Bangcheng continued: "If you don't take care of it, please Haihan Haihan." ”
"Boss Xu, you are too polite. We warriors don't pay much attention to it. ”
After Chen Hexiang politely returned the salute, he followed this Xiao Song and walked towards the back hall.
There were too many people participating in this reception banquet, and the lobby simply could not accommodate so many seats. Feng Manlou arranged the back hall as a banquet venue. More and more people are coming one after another.
After a group of more than a dozen people sat down at the table, Huang Rong lowered his voice and asked Chen Hexiang:
"Pavilion Master Chen, this matter is not trivial, what are you going to do?"
"I need to take a closer look. Chen Hexiang put down the teacup and showed a relaxed smile: "This matter seems to be much easier than I imagined." ”
If it is confirmed that this city lord is also a member of the Red Blood Sect, once this matter is broken. Then Chen Hexiang can imagine how the people of Beiwu City will react.
After carefully recalling Li Zheng's low-key and secluded life, I am afraid that he will do this because he is afraid that his identity will be exposed. After all, the Red Blood Sect is very recognizable because of the exercises, and it is difficult to disguise it when it moves.
Li Zheng was very clever to let the various forces go unchecked, and the local forces in Beiwu City were also happy to do this, so that a delicate balance was reached between the water entering and not violating the river.
Without countless eyes on him, Li Zheng could do something unsightly in private. Even if some clues are revealed, no one wants to pursue it. After all, such a city lord who looks like an ornament is what the local forces need.
This reception banquet is actually a temptation represented by these three major gangs and three major businessmen. They wanted to find out the heart of the new city lord Qi Zongshen. It would be great if it could be the same as the previous city lord Li Zheng.
After all, in the past few years, many families have tasted the sweetness of the city lord's mansion after the decoration, from thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift. No matter which side it is, the idea of uniting to overhead the new city lord has already been formed in their hearts.
With this as a foundation, it will be much easier to solve the crisis of the Red Cultivation Dharma King this time.
No matter how powerful the Red Lian Dharma King is, there is only one person. With so many people united by the local forces of Beiwu City, no matter how fierce this so-called Red Cultivation Dharma King is, he will end up in pieces. On this point, he and Li Xunyi have different views.
After all, the Red Blood Sect is no longer the powerful cult it used to be. After being exterminated again, except for the Divine Wheel Dharma King, the remaining three Dharma Kings are likely to be the eldest of the short ones and pushed out to fill the number.
Chen Hexiang knew in his heart that all kinds of clues had gathered together, and there was a high probability that this new city lord would be a member of the Red Blood Sect. However, there is a saying called nail on the board, and all the previous details are nails on the board, and he still needs to make the final confirmation.
Moreover, the attitude of the new city owners towards all parties is also a very important factor. If the last nail is also nailed in, then after the banquet, Chen Hexiang will contact all parties as soon as possible to start an encirclement and suppression.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this matter is of great importance, not only to exterminate the cult. If it is done, it will also be of great benefit to the reputation of our martial arts hall. ”
The more than a dozen martial arts hall masters present nodded. But I was a little disapproving. After all, there were only a few people on the side of the Red Blood Sect who he said, and Chen Hexiang was really a bit of a fuss about treating it so cautiously.
At this time, it was crowded, and it was basically full. There was an uproar at the door, followed by a loud shout:
"The city lord of Beiwu City Qi Zong Shen Qi has arrived, please-"
All of a sudden, all the people sitting stood up and turned their heads to look at the door.
A middle-aged man in a brocade robe, with a white face and a gentle smile, walked in surrounded by a large group of people. A large number of greetings suddenly came over like a tide, and Qi Zongshen smiled and bowed his hand.
Behind him, Ying Zongdao dressed up and followed carelessly. His eyebrows had somehow turned black for some reason, and he had a funny smile on his face, as if watching a group of monkeys juggle, watching the crowd crowd around him.
"Well, who is this?"
Chen Hexiang's gaze was fixed on Ying Zongdao's body.
A strong uneasiness for no apparent reason surged over him.
