Chapter 11 Conciliation (I)
When Shi Ying and Yun Dong arrived at the helm of the Qing Gang, Shang Guanqing was discussing countermeasures with the deacons of the various hall masters and departments in the gang, and the white paper fan, and Shang Youwei was also there.
Hearing Shi Ying coming, Shang Guanqing hurriedly greeted him, and when he arrived in the hall, Shang Guanqing introduced the brothers in the gang and several of his own disciples to Shi Ying, everyone saluted together, and after sitting down, Shang Guanqing said with a worried expression: "Shi Gang Master, I have asked the brothers of the various halls and departments under my command, and they all said that this matter was not done by them, so I suspect that someone wants to frame our Qing Gang, provoke the relationship between us and Hongshuntang, and fish in troubled waters." ”
What Shang Guanqing said happened last night, someone rushed into Chinatown and smashed a gambling hall that Wu Bufan, the helmsman of Hongshuntang, was taking care of, and some people shot and killed two people, and left after slashing several people, and some people at the scene saw that these people were all Asians, and they all spoke with Chinese accents, so Hongshuntang Chu Huaiyi decided that it was our Qing Gang disciples who did it, and now we have suffering, and we can't argue, please help the master to think of a way to deal with it. ”
Shang Qing's purpose is obvious, that is, he wants Shi Ying to go to the Hongshun Hall General Altar, mediate and mediate as the leader of the Huhai Qing Gang, explain the matter clearly, and prove that this matter is indeed not the work of the Beizhou Qing Gang.
Shi Ying's face was solemn, this matter was very unfavorable to the two families on his side, first, he was invited by Shang Qianqing to help with the fist, they were all brothers from the same family, and their own family members helped their own families, so it was reasonable to say; Second, he promised Hongshuntang that he would give them an explanation, and if something like this happened on the way, others might understand it as a delaying tactic on his side; Third, I didn't see the scene, and I didn't dare to believe that Shang Guanqing's words must be true, if it was really the Qing Gang disciples who did it without Shang Guanqing, he was confused and filled his head and mediated for others, and in the end, others found out that it was the Qing Gang disciples who did it, then there was no way to explain. But things have already happened, if there is no mediation, then the two sides are bound to go to war, and then it will be a mess of porridge, and there will be a scuffle on the Beizhou side, and it is really impossible to say who can become the final winner.
Shi Ying glanced at Yun Dong, with a look of embarrassment in his eyes, Yun Dong patted the back of her hand very casually, stood up, nodded, and did not practice the etiquette of the rivers and lakes, because he was not a person in the rivers and lakes, and he did not want to be such a person at all. He stood on the spot, his expression was peaceful, his aura was extraordinary, he was not angry and arrogant, and his deep eyes gave people an invisible pressure.
"Shang Gang Master, I am an outsider, I am a friend of the Shi Gang Master, you just said that you want to ask her to take an idea, but now at this time, you let the Shi Gang Master take the idea, you must first let her understand the truth of the matter, that is, how to prove that this matter is indeed not done by your disciples, this matter is not confirmed clearly, the Shi Gang Master will not have the full confidence to mediate for you, you have many disciples, who can guarantee that no one dares to do such a thing! Therefore, you have to thoroughly investigate the whereabouts of each of your disciples yesterday, report them one by one, and strictly investigate those who are not clear, and only then can the helper come forward when it is really not your people's work; Second, the helper came forward to mediate, and there is also a question of whether others believe it or not, if they think that the world is safe and clean is one family, and you cover each other, then how to deal with it. ”
Yun Dong put the reason in the way, Shang Guanqing thought so, nodded and said: "What Brother Yun said is good, I have already asked it just now, and it seems that it is not close now, in this way, the hall masters and deacons of each department immediately ordered to check the whereabouts of each disciple under him last night, everyone must be screened, and everyone must pass the test." ”
All the hall masters and deacons agreed in unison, turned around and went down to make arrangements. Yun Dong and Shi Ying and the Shang family's father and son were waiting here, and at this point, the promising heart began to be faintly afraid, he didn't expect that a small gambling house he opened would be used to make a big fuss, not only causing death, but also possibly becoming the fuse for the war between the two local gangs.
While everyone was waiting, someone at the door hurried over, walked to Shang Guanqing's side, and was about to whisper, Shang Guanqing waved his hand: "There are no outsiders here, just say it." ”
"Helper, Bai Shaojun speaks on behalf of you, a large number of people are gathering at the main altar of Hongshun Hall, it seems that it is going to be unfavorable to our gang, please take the idea as soon as possible." The man said in front of everyone.
Shang Guanqing frowned when he heard this, the situation was deteriorating sharply, and the conflict was only a matter of moments.
Yun Dong and Shi Ying glanced at each other after hearing this, Shi Ying stood up and said to Shang Qianqing: "Gang Master Shang, it seems that the situation is urgent, we can't wait any longer, it's better like this, this friend of mine and I will go to Hongshun Hall with the little boss now, I will stabilize the Chu Hall Master first, you are waiting for the verification results in the gang, once it is clear, come immediately, everyone will make it clear in person, clarify the facts, and resolve the crisis." ”
When Shang Yiqing heard that they were going to bring their son over, he glanced at Shang Youwei with a worried look in his eyes.
Shi Ying knew that he was worried about his son's safety, and said with a slight smile: "Don't worry, Gang Master Shang, we will definitely ensure the personal safety of the little boss, before the matter is clear, I think Hall Master Chu will not act rashly, and the little boss will go with us to show our sincerity, this is a matter of attitude." ”
Shang Guanqing looked at his son, with a hint of helplessness and love on his face, and asked, "Youwei, are you willing to go?" ”
Shang Youwei was horrified in his heart, but he also knew that the current situation was critical, so he replied with a slight tremble: "I... Willing, things.. I provoked it, and I'm willing to help the gang. ”
Shang Yiqing nodded with a heavy face: "Then there is Brother Yun, the leader of the Laoshi Gang." ”
The two replied calmly: "Well, you should do your best." ”
The main altar of Hongshun Hall is on a street at the west end of Chinatown, the house is a typical Chinese-style building, the door of the open door, a pair of stone lions at the door, the bronze beast knocker on the big red lacquer door, the blue stone threshold, there is a wall after entering the door, the pattern of the sun and the moon is carved on it, and then there is a big patio behind it, after the patio, it is the main hall, the front of the main hall is dedicated to the incense case, the incense case is placed on a pair of giant wax and offerings, and then the clay sculpture of Emperor Guan is above, and there is a pair of calligraphy and paintings in the middle hall of Taoyuan knot on the wall, Shanglian: there is a little bit of life and death friendship Fang Xu entered the temple to pay homage to the emperor; Downlink: There is no bright state of mind, why do you need to burn incense.
Yun Dong accompanied Shi Ying and Shang Youwei to the street entrance, Geng Ming stepped forward with a prayer post, and many disciples of Hongshun Hall had gathered at the street entrance, standing on both sides of the street, most of them knew Shang Youwei, their eyes were sharp like arrows, staring at him viciously, Shang Youwei felt a chill on his back, and his eyes wandered in fear.
The disciple in the auditorium stepped forward, took the worship post in Geng Ming's hand, opened it and glanced at it, his face was not healed, with a hostile look, he nodded and said in a sullen voice: "Wait." Then he ran into the main altar with a puff of smoke.
About half of the incense poured into the effort, the door of the main altar of Hongshun Hall opened to both sides, and a few people came out, the current one was tall, wearing a robe, with a bun on the back, revealing a bright forehead, a lion nose and a wide mouth, blazing eyes, majestic, and striding towards Shi Yingyundong and the four of them.
