Chapter 32: The Noise
It was noon, Ding Dahai specially found Su Mo, accompanied by Ping Jiayu and an old man with white hair and luxurious clothes.
After being introduced by Ding Dahai, Su Mo knew that this old man was another deputy gang leader in the headquarters of the Dajiang Gang, whose name was Lu Ying.
Lu Ying was a neutral faction and disdained to get involved in the open and secret battles between Jin Ding Dahai and Xue Yao. Of course, it can also be said in another way, that is, Mingzhe protects himself, and if one side falls, he will not be implicated.
It can be seen from this that this Deputy Lu Gang Leader is a master who came out of the wind and waves, and his actions are extremely measured and should not be underestimated.
Deputy Gang Leader Lu naturally heard about Su Mo's murder in Peony Town, and came over to praise him.
After all, this was when the Jade Dragon Gang couldn't solve the case, and Su Mo solved the case.
not only suppressed the arrogance of the Jade Dragon Gang, but also raised the status of the Dajiang Gang in the hearts of the people to a higher level, which is indeed a gratifying thing.
The two gang leaders discussed it in front of Su Mo, and finally decided on the reward. A total of five hundred taels of silver, two books of any foreign martial arts in the library pavilion, can be freely selected.
Such a heavy reward made Su Mo a little unexpected, but it was more of a surprise.
After all, he only cares about practicing martial arts to improve his strength, and cheats are valuable to him.
As for money, not to mention, who does not love money? In addition, it is necessary to buy a house in Danyang County, and to buy a few maids to serve the Chen family, which will cost money.
Therefore, no matter how much money there is, it cannot be considered a lot.
Lu Ying only stayed for a while and left directly, while Ding Dahai motioned for Li Yingyi to close the door.
When he could no longer hear the noise in the courtyard, Ding Dahai spoke.
"Brother Xian, this afternoon is the appointment ceremony of the internal affairs envoy of our headquarters. ”
"Big brother, don't worry, when the time comes, it will be the time for Xue Shen to die. Su Mo's expression was calm and he spoke.
"Then you will get to the bottom of it, if you kill Xue Shen, how sure are you?"
"If I say 100%, you probably think it's a big deal. But if you don't have any confidence at all, you don't have to compete with Xue Shen at all, even if you are right, you will lose. Su Mo said in a flat tone.
"It's not that the eldest brother doesn't believe you, it's just that Xue Shen has been crisscrossing the north for some years, and it is not easy to kill him. Ding Dahai said.
"Okay, helper, didn't the matter have already been decided last night? Ping Jiayu said on the side.
"Alas, I believe in Brother Su Xian once. If the virtuous brother is unlucky...... If you die, the gang leader will take care of your family, don't worry. ”
Su Mo was a little speechless.
Although from the outside, his current body is a little thin, but this is just the appearance.
There are so many outsiders who feel that they don't have much strength, and even this fat man thinks that he will lose to Xue Shen.
It can be seen that a person's appearance is indeed the most deceptive.
......
At the moment of Shen, in the Juyi Hall of the headquarters of the Dajiang Gang.
Except for the people who were dealing with affairs in the remote area at this time, they could not rush back, but all the people of the Dajiang Gang in Danyang County gathered here.
These people are wearing the same clothes of the Great River Gang, but the same style of clothing has some slight differences.
The costumes worn by the middle and high-level people are embroidered with floral figures, some are single-petaled, some are double-petaled, and a few are multi-petaled.
On the shadow wall facing the door of the hall hangs a picture of the Yanbo River, and there is a plaque on it, with four big characters on it, 'Yi Bo Yuntian', and the clouds are like a dragon.
Ding Dahai stood in the main position, and the two deputy gang leaders Xue Yao and Lu Ying stood on his left and right sides respectively.
Looking out of the door again, the Dharma Protector, the Internal Affairs Envoy, the Elite Gang, and the Ordinary Gangs were lined up in two columns, and Su Mo was standing among them.
He looked around a few times, but he didn't expect that the positions in this Juyi Hall were exquisite, and the people standing behind Ping Jiayu should all be Ding Dahai's faction, and he himself was standing in this column.
The other column was led by the Great Protector Xue Shen, and there were even a few vicious-looking guys who cast their eyes here, and the threat and intimidation in them were obvious.
Su Mo didn't care about this, he closed his eyes and recuperated himself, and felt more and more in his heart that today's murderous deterrence was indeed extremely necessary. Otherwise, even if he became an internal envoy and a protector of the Dharma, what was the use of the people under his command who were not convinced?
"You all already know why you have been called here today. A few days ago, Guo was killed unexpectedly in the process of handling affairs, so the post of internal affairs envoy was also idle. ”
"If you look at the qualifications of everyone in the gang, this position of internal affairs envoy should be held by Shi Peng, after all, he is an old man who has served in the gang for more than ten years. Today, however, there is a better candidate for the post of internal envoy. ”
As soon as these words came out, the audience suddenly began to be noisy, most of them were from Xue Shen's group, and almost all of them were talking about each other.
As for Xue Shen, there is also Xue Yao, who is a little similar to Xue Shen, and Xue Yao, who also has a gloomy face, is a little ugly.
Ding Dahai pressed his hands down, waited until the Juyi Hall was quiet, and said: "Everyone, be quiet, someone must have heard of Brother Su Mosu, he is the hero who solved the bloody case in Peony Town." The first thing in the appointment of our Dajiang Gang is strength and merit, and then seniority. Therefore, after some careful consideration, the gang leader decided to let Brother Su take the position of internal affairs envoy. ”
"Gang leader, this matter is not proper," Xue Shen, who was standing in the hall, pointed at Su Mo with one hand and shouted: "Brother Shi Peng has served in the gang for more than ten years, and he has no merit and hard work, why should he give this unknown boy the position of internal affairs envoy that he should have? Doesn't this chill the hearts of the brothers?"
"Helper, this matter needs to be carefully considered. Xue Yao also persuaded on the side.
The person who was born was tall and big, and Shi Peng, who was good-looking, stood next to Xue Shen, staring at Su Mo with a look of resentment.
Ding Dahai didn't speak, his eyes swept away, and he quietly waited for the opinions of the rest of the people.
And Su Mo is face was slightly gloomy, this Xue Shen didn't give him any face at all, he was accusing and questioning, which was really angry.
He didn't talk nonsense and walked straight out of the queue.
A guy from the Xue Yao faction was about to speak, but when he saw Su Mo walking out of the queue directly, he also kept silent.
Everyone in the Juyi Hall looked at the field, and they were all a little puzzled about what this Su brother was going to do. Some of these people are slightly worried, while others are purely in the mood to watch the excitement.
"This is Xue Protector, the gang leader has already made it very clear just now. The most important thing in the appointment of positions in our Dajiang Gang is strength and merit, followed by qualifications, you can't understand people, or what?"
Su Mo looked directly at Xue Yao with a gloomy face with a cold look in his eyes, and continued in a sharp tone: "It is true that Brother Shi Peng's qualifications are higher than those below, but when it comes to strength and merit, which one of them can compare to me?
When he spoke, he was aggressive, and he didn't give face to these middle protectors at all.
"You, what a boy, really sharp-toothed and sharp-tongued!Helper, if you listen to my advice, such a disrespectful kid, it's better to expel the gang!" Xue Shen was extremely angry and stared at Su Mo viciously.
"Hmph, Xue Protector, what's the matter? I can't explain the reason, so I start to suppress people with power? It's a good Dharma protector demeanor, admire and admire!" Su Mo also didn't let it go at all.
"Well, you two listen to me. Brother Su has solved the big case in Peony Town, and he has made great contributions to the Dajiang Gang, so how can he say that he will rush to it? Don't mention this kind of thing again. Ding Dahai saw that Xue Shen had a tendency to suppress his anger, and he was secretly happy in his heart, and he still had a calm look on his face.
"Then according to the opinion of the gang leader, how should this matter be handled?" Xue Yao was more calm than Xue Shen, at least he would not get angry easily.
Su Mo saw it in his eyes, and he was naturally vigilant, this Xue Yao was more difficult to deal with than Xue Shen.
"I don't know that these two can be said to be qualified to serve as internal envoys. As...... Let them divide their own high and low, and everyone will be convinced, lest anyone feel that the gang leader is partial. Ding Dahai touched his bare chin and said.
"Actually, this matter is simple, we are in the gang, then it is equivalent to the people in the rivers and lakes. Wandering in the rivers and lakes, isn't it whose fists are hard and who speaks?" Su Mo glanced at Shi Peng and said, "Helper, why don't you let me have a competition with Brother Shi Peng, whoever wins will take up the position of internal affairs envoy, how about it?"
"Wait, you kid has a good calculation, Shi Peng is just the strength of the forging realm, how can he compete with you? You are clearly using your own strengths and attacking the weaknesses of others, it is really treacherous!" Before Shi Peng could speak, Xue Shen jumped out first, protecting his shortcomings to such an extent, it was rare.
"Then you come and fight with me, if you win, Brother Shi Peng is the internal affairs envoy. If you lose, I'll do it. This should be fair, right?" Su Mo said with a sneer.
"You...... Really willing?" Xue Shen looked stunned.
He naturally didn't want to give up this position as an internal affairs envoy, and the competition proposed by Su Mo was not good for Shi Peng. He had the idea of fighting for Shi Peng, but he was afraid that saying it would make others think that he was bullying the small, so he was hesitant.
Unexpectedly, Su Mo actually brought it up by himself, so he fulfilled his wishes.
"It's true. Su Mo nodded.
