Chapter 305: The Elder bowed his head
In January, the beggar elders from all over the country rushed to Bluestone City non-stop, except for Elder Wu, who was waiting for Yan Fengyun in the land of Miao Jiang, the remaining six Nine Bag Elders all arrived.
There are also several eight-bag little elders, as well as countless beggar gang disciples, such a huge number of personnel, it is obviously inappropriate to continue to let everyone nest in the Wanfu Inn.
Lu Hanjiang instructed the three Nine Bag Elders of the Pure Clothes Sect to arrange the disciples below seven bags in the Chenghuang Temple outside the city, and only let the elders and dozens of Seven Bags of disciples stay at the Wanfu Inn.
The number of people was controlled within a reasonable range, and the shopkeeper Zhu prepared a sumptuous and delicious meal for everyone, and Lu Hanjiang asked people to put several long tables together and invite all the elders to eat at the same table.
In the face of the luxurious food, the elders of the Pure Clothes Sect felt very satisfied, and naturally there was nothing unaccustomed to it, while the elders of the Dirty Clothes Sect used meditation to express their protests.
Of course, they also want to feast their tongues on food, but today they are going to discuss the major events that will affect the beggars for years or even decades in the future, and they really have no appetite.
What's more, the elders from the dirty clothes faction spend their days on coarse tea and rice on weekdays, and they are not used to eating this kind of extravagant food.
One of the elders of the Pure Clothes Sect picked up the wine bowl and said loudly: "Everyone, today is the big day of my beggar gang, let us toast the master with a glass of wine." ”
Hulala, almost half of the elder disciples got up, holding the wine bowl high and saluting Lu Hanjiang.
The elders of the Dirty Clothes Sect who were sinking like water were unmoved, and finally, one of them said very shamelessly: "Elder Qi, slow down, I still have a few questions I want to ask the helper." ”
Elder Naqi is the leader of the Dirty Cloak Sect, and his seat is only under the two elders of the Sect of Gong and Law Enforcement, and he happened to be opposite the elder who spoke out, only to see him brow, and said in a deep voice: "Elder Gan, today I will wait for the beggars to come together to celebrate the accession of the gang leader, if you have any questions, you can wait until tomorrow." ”
Who knew that Elder Nagan suddenly stood up, he glanced at the silenced audience, and turned his gaze to Lu Hanjiang: "I have a word, please listen, Lu Gongzi holds two major tokens in his hand, and he is naturally the person chosen by the old gang leader of Liang, but the position of my beggar gang leader has never relied on the words of one person." ”
"Elder Gan, you are presumptuous!"
Elder Qi put down the wine bowl heavily, pointed at Elder Gan and scolded angrily: "Gang Leader Lu was personally elected by Gang Leader Liang, do you still want to question Gang Leader Liang!" If you don't respect the gang leader, you should be severely punished according to the gang rules, and the law enforcement elders are asked to execute! ”
On the left and right sides of the gang leader Lu Hanjiang, there were two elders who were law enforcement and passed on the merits, the two elders had white hair and wrinkles, and they looked older than Liang Benlang.
The Law Enforcement Elder did not speak, but looked at Elder Gan with a surging gaze.
Elder Gan clenched his fists at the Law Enforcement Elder: "Law Enforcement Elder, I don't want to question the decision of the Liang Gang Leader, it's just that my Beggar Gang disciples have always said whatever they want, unlike some people, who will only do some things that are not human. ”
Feeling the disdain that Elder Gan glanced at, Elder Qi was furious: "Bastard! The surname is Gan, what do you mean! ”
Elder Gan snorted coldly: "I don't mean anything, it's just that although the position of the gang leader is designated by the Liang gang leader, we can also express our opinions, please forgive me for being disrespectful, if Lu Gongzi takes the position of the gang leader, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to be convinced." ”
Most of the elder disciples of the Dirty Cloak Sect stood up and expressed their progress and retreat with Elder Gan in a silent manner.
The law enforcement elder frowned slightly, and the elder passed on the gong as if it was none of his business, closed his eyes and recuperate, and everyone's eyes turned to Lu Hanjiang's body.
Lu Hanjiang sat on the chair sideways, leaned on the table with one hand to prop up his head, held one end of the dog beating stick in one hand, and the wine gourd hanging at the other end, and was circled by him.
Time passed minute by minute, and it was clear that Lu Hanjiang had not done anything, just turning the gourd there by himself, but this dull atmosphere like dead silence suppressed Elder Gan a little breathless.
When he was about to speak, Lu Hanjiang spoke up: "What does the elder mean, is he not convinced that this son will be the leader of the gang?" ”
Unlike the cynicism and swords of the two elders when they argued, Lu Hanjiang's tone was as calm as a bowl of white water.
"Exactly." Elder Gan stiffened his neck and confessed.
The gourd in Lu Hanjiang's hand was still spinning unhappily, and he didn't look at Elder Nagan, he then asked, "According to Elder, which hero should sit on this son?" ”
Elder Gan didn't think about it and said, "If it is Yan Fengyun's position as deputy gang director and gang leader, we will have no objection." ”
"I see."
The gourd stopped, and fell into Lu Hanjiang's hand along the dog-beating stick, he put it on the table, and his eyes fell on Elder Gan: "What the elder means, this son understands, you have no objection to the position of Deputy Gang Leader Yan, on the contrary, if this son comes to be the gang leader, you will not accept it, are you going to rebel?" ”
The fluttering words made everyone who was already silent even more tightly shut their mouths, the law enforcement elder's frowning brows never relaxed, and the elder Chuangong opened his eyes slightly, his gaze slightly dull.
Elder Gan blushed his neck and glared, "I didn't say that!" ”
Lu Hanjiang put the dog beating stick on his shoulder, knocked it lightly, and said slowly in his mouth: "Since you are not convinced by this son, and you want to support Deputy Yan Gang Leader to take the position, isn't the next thing to do is to set up another mountain, and then overthrow my gang leader, what is this not a rebellion?" ”
Elder Gan's mouth was open, but the words were stuck in his throat, Lu Hanjiang pursed his lips a little bored, and said softly: "Elder Gan has bad intentions, come here, take it down, and help deal with it." ”
"Disciple obeys!"
Elder Qi, who came back to his senses, was overjoyed, and the three elders of the Pure Clothes Sect were about to make a move, and the disciples on both sides were extremely nervous, and the battle was about to break out, but at this moment, one person stopped the disciples.
"Stop!"
It was Elder Chuangong who spoke, and he and the Law Enforcement Elder got up together and waved towards Lu Hanjiang, and at this moment, many disciples of the Dirty Clothes Sect were dumbfounded.
I only heard Elder Chuangong say to Lu Hanjiang: "Helper, Elder Gan has no intention of committing a crime, but he is just angry for a while, and he will not choose to say anything, please take it lightly." ”
Looking at the attitude of these two old men, Lu Hanjiang squinted his eyes slightly, and said with a smile: "Since Elder Chuangong said so, then follow what Elder Gong said." ”
Elder Chuangong looked at the law enforcement elder, and the latter immediately spoke: "Elder Gan, you are disrespectful to the Lu Gang Leader, and you offended the Liang Gang Leader in your words, and you also deliberately implicated the Yan Deputy Gang Leader, and beat you with twenty sticks today, can you be convinced?" ”
Elder Gan hung his head, his expression was sluggish: "The disciple has no objections. ”
"Take it down, execute it." As soon as the Law Enforcement Elder gave the order, several disciples of the Dirty Clothes Sect hesitated slightly, but it was several disciples of the Pure Clothes Sect who strode over and took Elder Gan away.
Seeing that many of the disciples of the Dirty Cloak Sect had a look of resentment on their faces, the Law Enforcement Elder sighed secretly, these people are the mainstays of the Beggar Gang, why are they so shallow-eyed, don't they understand that if Elder Gan is really allowed to make trouble today, the Beggar Gang will be divided into two.
Secretly looked at Lu Hanjiang from the corner of his eye, and the law enforcement elder was also a little unsure of the other party's intentions, was this planning to put the battle between the two factions on the surface to solve it, or did he want to use the topic to play to force him and Elder Chuangong to express his position?
If it is the former, then the courage of this Lu gang leader is extraordinary, you must know that the contradiction between the two factions has run through several generations of the beggar gang, and if one is not handled well, it will fall apart, this Lu gang leader does not say that he is a sinner through the ages, but he will also be nailed to the pillar of shame forever.
If it is the latter, it proves that the mind and methods of this Lu gang leader are extremely clever, and the status of the two elders of law enforcement and meritorious service in the beggar gang is very important, even higher than that of the deputy gang leader, if they can make the two of them surrender, even if Yan Fengyun will be killed from Miao Jiang immediately, and he will never be able to shake the position of this gang leader.
In either way, the law enforcement elders were impressed by the new gang leader.
Thinking of this, the law enforcement elder sighed, no wonder the Liang gang leader would pass Yan Fengyun to appoint this person to take over the position of the gang leader, it was really extraordinary.
