Chapter 51: Xiangtang

Jiang Yunlong got up early today, today's senior brother Tang Lusheng set up a good day in the incense hall, yesterday the senior brother sent someone to invite him to watch the ceremony today, so he got up early.

When he had finished washing, he picked out a new navy blue robe from his closet, which he could wear only at the time of the brothers' gatherings, and rarely at other times.

He remembered that he and the senior brother were separated by half a year to get started, and they all worshiped under the door of the master Shi Xiaoyun, and then the master took charge of the position of the leader of the Qing Gang, he and the senior brother worked hard for so many years, and slowly became the master's right and left hand. The master put himself in the missionary department, which was a white paper fan on the surface, but in fact he was the military advisor in the gang, controlling all the news channels, which was the most important throat department in the gang.

When he was dressed neatly, he held a white paper fan in his hand, opened the door and came out, followed by four apprentices, and drove in the direction of Qian Baotang.

Waiting outside the gate of the ground, Tang Lusheng's eldest apprentice greeted the guest on behalf of the teacher, waited at the door, saw Jiang Yunlong coming, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Uncle Shi, your old man is here, the master sent me to greet your boss at the door, your old man is the first, the master must be happy to see it, please inside!" ”

"Monkey cub, senior brother, can I not come to the incense hall early, I will say something good, and lead the way."

"Haole, Uncle Shi, please."

After saying that, he led the way, talking all the way, and walked towards the study.

When I arrived at the door of the study, I only heard the person inside talking: "Is it Senior Brother Jiang?" ”

"Ah, senior brother, it's me."

The talker had already entered the study, and saw Tang Lusheng sitting on the sofa, and when he saw him come in, he stood up.

"Senior brother is so early, you are the first to come!"

"You and I are fellow brothers, senior brothers set up a good day in the incense hall, can I not come to congratulate earlier! Hahaha".

"Okay, okay, it's still you and me who have a deep brotherly relationship, and my senior brother has a glorious face."

There are words in these words, Jiang Yunlong naturally knows that the senior brother's business has not been very prosperous in recent years, and there are many people below, so he took some evil paths, and was discovered by other cousins, and sued the master, the master was furious and reprimanded him fiercely, after this incident, the brothers in the other halls gradually distanced themselves from him, so the senior brother has been in a bad mood, so there are such words.

"Haha, that's natural, our brothers, senior brother has always taken care of me, I don't know, your big day, I must be early, hahahaha."

"Well, today is a good day, after a while, our brother will have a drink."

"Okay, hey, senior brother, how many are you going to accept this time?"

"This time I'm going to collect six, these six are all well-known monkey cubs, they have a set for doing business, each of them is a good hand, we Qian Baotang, there is a money word on the top, but the pocket is empty, this time I accepted them, but also want them to take the following things that are not angry, and earn more money for Qian Baotang." Tang Lusheng told Jiang Yunlong his thoughts.

"Oh, that's a good thing, we don't have such talents in the Qing Gang, if anyone can lead everyone to do more good business, so that the brothers in the gang can live a good life, then the master will be happy,"

"Hmph, so is the master, how many gang children are still following the rules! Now don't talk about the old Huhai time, even some of the rules in the gang some times ago, and few people are guarding them! In this day and age, how can you have food if you still abide by those broken rules? ”

"Hey, senior brother, you can just say this in front of me, don't say it on other occasions, when it reaches the ears of the master, it is another stinking scolding, I think we still have to keep it, otherwise others will not scold us for deceiving the teacher and destroying the ancestors!"

"I'm telling the truth, now that gang is not making a lot of money in a muffled voice, and it also pays attention to the rules and precepts of the gang, don't allow this or that, I think our gang rules have to be revised and modified."

"Changing the gang rules is a big deal, even our master can't say that he can change it, then he has to participate in the same sect in the north and overseas, don't mess with this idea."

At this moment, there was another person outside, and Tang Lusheng had no choice but to stop the discussion and come out to greet the guests.

In the morning, Qing Bang Qian Baotang Tang Lusheng officially opened the incense hall, the incense hall hung red flowers and green leaves and white lotus root figures, high for the ancestor tablet, the big red incense candle was lit, Tang Lusheng was sitting on the left side of the incense case, and the other brothers who watched the ceremony and rushed to the incense hall had seats in both compartments.

Outside the door, an usher took six people to knock on the door knocker, the first three and the last four, which means that the three religions are brothers in the four seas.

The preacher in the house asked in a loud voice: "Who is coming?" ”

The introducer replied: "I am Zhang Wucheng, and I am here to catch the incense hall." ”

This is the traditional incision of the Qing Gang since its establishment, and when placing the incense hall, one question and one answer, one word can not be wrong.

The preacher continued, "Do you have three gangs and nine generations here?" ”

The introducer Zhang Wucheng replied: "Yes." ”

The preacher asked, "Do you have any money?" ”

The introducer replied again: "129 texts, there is a small amount of money in it." ”

All the incisions were correct, the door of the incense hall was opened, and the usher led the six people to the incense case.

The six people handed over the protégé stickers in turn, and the preacher inspected the protégé stickers outside and read them aloud, and the red stickers had the names of the protégés, their place of origin, their birthdays, the names of their fathers, grandfathers, great-grandfathers, the names of the introducers, and the names of the teachers they worshipped.

Jiang Yunlong looked at the six people, and found that one of them had clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and his appearance was marked, as if he had seen it somewhere, and when the preacher read their names, Jiang Yunlong heard that the person's name was Xiang Hong, and he sighed in his heart, yes, he had seen his avatar in the place called Yundong introduced by the little junior sister.

Xiang Hong, hehe, changed his name, did he think he couldn't recognize you?

At this time, Tang Lusheng had already cleaned his hands, and a disciple brought a bowl of water, Tang Lusheng's mouth did not touch the edge of the bowl, and took a sip, this is a fasting ceremony, the sea bowl is passed to both sides, one person takes a sip.

When it was passed to Jiang Yunlong, he held the bowl without drinking it and stood up.

"Senior brother, wait, I have something to say."

Placing the incense hall is an extremely serious matter, and the people who rush to the incense hall are not allowed to speak easily, Jiang Yunlong and Tang Lusheng are brothers of the same sect, and they are respected by the elders, and they are very noble seniors in this incense hall, so they can be qualified to speak.

"Oh, what does Senior Brother Jiang have to say?"

"I have something to ask, introduce Shi Zhang Wucheng."

"Oh, okay, you ask."

Jiang Yunlong put the sea bowl lightly, pulled up his cuffs, and stared at Zhang Wucheng with his eyes like electricity.

"Introduce Shi Zhang Wucheng."

"Zhang Wucheng is here."

"The words in front of the Patriarch Hall are true, let me ask you, do you know the details of these six people?"

"Clear."

"Which way is the direction macro from?"

Bowing down and kneeling in the direction of the introduction of the master, Hong Yi heard the mention of him, and turned his head vigilantly to look at Jiang Yunlong.

"Xiang Hong is originally from Sioux City, and now he is a mixed wharf in Shanghai."

Jiang Yunlong smiled lightly: "Oh? ”

Turning his face to look at Tang Lusheng, Tang Lusheng was a little confused now, and he didn't know what this junior brother was going to do.

"Senior brother, the rules of the gang, deceiving the ancestor on the incense hall, lying about his name, what crime is he willing to do?"

"Three knives and six holes, never allowed to join the gang." Tang Lusheng replied.

"Hehe, yes, senior brother, do you know who this Xianghong is?"

"Oh, please speak clearly."

"Xiang Hong is not called Xiang Hong, he is called Xiang Biao, pimped born, relying on his appearance, seducing women from good families, forcing good people to become prostitutes, Article 8 of the gang rules, no rape and adultery, how can this kind of person be introduced into the gang."

After listening to Jiang Yunlong's words, Tang Lusheng nodded, and said: "Yes, Xiang Hong is indeed not called Xiang Hong, he is called Xiang Biao, he told me when the introduction master brought him to see me, he has committed crimes before, and he has left the bottom in the bureau, and now he is getting started, and he wants to change his name and start over, I asked him, it is easy to enter the gang and it is difficult to help, a thousand gold can't buy it, and ten thousand gold can't buy it. I know what my brother said about what he had done before. Therefore, it is not considered to deceive the ancestors. ”

"But..."Jiang Yunlong still wanted to say what he was doing now, but he faintly felt that something was wrong in his heart, now what he said was told by others, and he had no evidence, so he had to check it out after he went back.

Jiang Yunlong suppressed the anger in his heart, he felt that this senior brother had changed, it had been revealed from the conversation in the study just now, and now it was even more obvious.

Jiang Yunlong, as a white paper fan of the Qing Gang, was used as a military advisor by the master, so he was naturally not a reckless person, he smiled slightly: "Since this is the case, then when I didn't say it, senior brother, please forgive me." ”

Tang Lusheng laughed: "Your own brother, you are also here to help the good of the family, I am afraid that the senior brother will accept the wrong apprentice, then good, go on." ”

Immediately afterwards, the incense master came out of the column and read aloud: "A stove of incense goes up, three old and four young sit in the hall, the disciples go to the incense to invite the ancestors, usher in the ancestor Pan Qian Weng, the second incense is held in the air, the three old and four young are happy, the teacher ushers in the upper seat, and the disciples go to the incense to salute." ”

This is to invite the ancestral poem, Xiang Biao and others to kowtow in front of the patriarch ranking,

The incense master shouted again: "Natal Master Samzu." ”

It was Tang Lusheng who placed the incense hall this time, so he was the natal master.

I saw him holding incense in both hands, facing the ancestral tablet, muttering for a while, and then reporting to his home: "I'm Tang Lusheng, a native of Huhai City, sign up for incense." ”

He knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times, and everyone present followed behind him and kowtowed to the patriarch's tablet.

Then Tang Lusheng sat in the hall and accepted the worship of the six disciples, telling them that they were according to the characters, and warned the six people that once they entered the gang, they were bound by the gang rules and must not be violated.

Then the six people came to meet the uncle and brother of the same family, and since then the incense hall has been completed.

Tang Lusheng laughed, ordered someone to set up a banquet, and invited all the brothers who came to the Xiangtang to have a dinner to celebrate.

Jiang Yunlong is not good to leave now, and the face that should be given is still to be given, but he has made up his mind that he must find out about this matter, because now it is not only the matter of Yundong, but also the matter of their gang.
