Chapter 8: The Funeral Turmoil
In the process of the guests' sacrifices, there was also a little turmoil:
After Deng Wei, the speaker of Heliansheng, who came to pay tribute, finished offering incense, he condoled the mourners Jiang Tiansheng and Jiang Tianyang.
Deng Wei's outstretched right finger is straight, but the index finger and big finger are connected into a circle.
Seeing Deng Wei's gesture, Jiang Tiansheng and Jiang Tianyang were a little at a loss for a while, and looked at Ni Kun.
Seeing this, Ni Kun stepped forward and pressed Deng Wei's hand and said, "Ah Sheng and Ah Yang are not from Hongxing, and they don't understand these rules. β
Deng Wei swept Jiang Tiansheng, Jiang Tianyang, and the brothers Jiang Tianwen and Jiang Tiannan behind them with strange eyes, did not speak, and was taken aside by Ni Kun to rest.
Liangkun asked, "What does this mean?" β
Ni Kun said: "Deng Wei's gesture is called 'three and a half incense', which is the etiquette of the Hongmen brothers when they meet. Jiang Tiansheng and Jiang Tianyang are not Hongmen brothers, so they don't know how to return the gift. β
Liangkun asked again: "What is 'three and a half incense'?" β
Ni Kun said: "The three and a half incense sticks commemorate the four famous stories in history, and the characters in these four historical stories are good examples for every Hongmen brother: the first incense commemorates the sheep horn and Zuo Botao, this incense is called 'benevolence and righteousness incense'; the second incense commemorates Liu Guan and Zhang Taoyuan's three knots, this incense is called 'Zhongyi incense'; the third incense commemorates Liangshanbo's one hundred and eight generals, this incense is called 'chivalrous incense'; as for the remaining half of the incense, it is to commemorate Qin Shubao and Shan Xiongxin, this half incense is called ' There is benevolence and no righteousness'.
In the Spring and Autumn Period, there is a left sheep, and benevolence and righteousness are spread in all directions.
Taoyuan League oath, loyalty Liu Guanzhang.
Liangshan is a chivalrous guest, and the eldest brother is Song Jiang.
Brothers with different surnames, three incense sticks in history.
Flying general Shan Xiongxin, would rather die than vote for Tang,
Qin Qiong was helpless, and cried back half a handful of incense. β
This little storm can't be compared with the middle storm and big storm that happened later.
β¦β¦
The answering singer at the door said: "Jiang's funeral, Zhongqing Society is polite!" β
Liangkun looked at Ni Kun, and his eyes seemed to say: Didn't you say that the Zhongqing Society hit the street, did it cover it randomly?
The four laws of tolerance of the Chinese:
1. It's coming
2. People are dead
3. New Year's Day
4. The child is still young
Ding Xiaocrab took the first two at once, "(Jiang Zhen) everyone is dead" and "(Ding Xiaocrab) is here", and Jiang Tianwen did not react.
Ding Xiaocrab walked forward quickly, bowed and saluted, leading the second brother Ding Yicrab towards Jiang Zhen's spiritual position in front of him, and waited for the spiritual statue to stop two meters away.
The master of ceremonies shouted, "One bow, another bow, three bows." β
Ding Xiao Crab and Ding Yi Crab finished saluting Jiang Zhen's portrait, and another master of ceremonies spoke: "Thank you for the family." β
The Jiang family who knelt next to them knelt on the ground and cried to the two of them to thank them, Ding Xiaocrab claimed to be sitting in the hall of the Zhongqing Society, and the others were not qualified to come forward to salute, Ding Xiaoxi walked over and supported Jiang Tianwen: "Festival mourning, Hongxing will have something to do in the future, remember to look for me, the Zhongqing Society is also a member of the Chaozhou Gang, Hongxing's matter is the business of all the Chaozhou Gang, don't be afraid of trouble, come to me directly if you have something." β
After Jiang Tianwen thanked him, Ni Kun had prepared the incense to stand beside the spiritual seat, Ding Xiaocrab stood up, took the incense from Ni Kun with Ding Yicrab, and prepared to step forward to offer incense to Jiang Zhen.
The master of ceremonies and several others took the incense and sang loudly: "The condolences of the Zhongqing Society, presided over by Mr. Ding Xiaoxi of the Zhongqing Society, please offer incense!" β
After the incense ended, Ni Kun gestured to the silk gold position next to him.
- This is not that Hongxing forces guests to pay white envelopes, but rules, the dead are a hundred, and the living have to live, right?
The two who received gifts in the gold position are also Hong Xing's younger brothers.
Ding Xiaoxian took out a white envelope from his pocket and placed it on the table.
One of the younger brothers bowed his head to register, and the other respectfully handed Ding Xiaocrab a large blue and white envelope, which was called Jiyi.
Inside the auspicious instrument is a one-yuan coin, a white towel and a white sugar cube:
The one-yuan coin is the return gift of the Jiang family to the visitors; a white towel to wipe away the tears of mourners; Sugar cubes are family members who advise mourners not to grieve too much, and use sweetness to dilute the grief in their hearts.
There are rules for this coin in Jiyi, you must spend it or give it away after the funeral, otherwise it will bring bad luck to your family and yourself, and if you throw it away, you will throw away your wealth, but the mold will still follow you.
Under the guidance of Ni Kun, Ding Xiao Crab and Ding Yi Crab sat down at the edge of the seats in the Jingxing Hall.
After Ni Kun finished holding the seat, he did not leave in a hurry, but said to Ding Xiaocrab with a cold face: "Borrow the corpse to return the soul, borrow the funeral ringing of the old dragon's head?" Young people, it's okay to have ideas, but your dad owes so many debts, is it up to you to carry them? β
Ding Xiaoxian raised his face and said to Ni Kun: "Easy come, easy go." β
Ni Kun scolded impatiently: "Dad can't understand nonsense, he speaks human words!" β
Ding Xiaocrab said: "The meaning is: come in the soup, go in the water." It's so easy for Mr. Lei to get money, known as 'Inspector 500 million', do you have to worry about this money? What's more, Brother Dasha is still here, there is no need for Hong Xing to come out of this, right? β
Ni Kun said: "If you borrow the funeral of the old dragon's head, others will think that Hong Xing is supporting you." β
Ding Xiaocrab said: "Everyone is from Chaozhou, and they are all in the same breath!" β
Ni Kun sighed and said, "Forget it, just remember what you said today." β
β¦β¦
After the public memorial ceremony, there is naturally a large feast.
The seats of the banquet are also exquisite, otherwise Song Jiang, the speaker of Liang Shanshuibo, would not let his younger brother Song Qing be in charge of arranging the banquet.
As a junior character, Liangkun certainly eats at the same table with the junior character.
During the banquet, when Liang Kun was eating happily, he suddenly heard a commotion, and followed the voice: three middle-aged men were standing together and were about to fight.
One of them pointed at the noses of the other two and scolded: "You betrayed me and ate the inside and out of the bowl!" β
Liangkun had no choice but to push the young man next to him who was also looking up at the lively and asked, "Who is that?" β
The young man said, "You don't know Huo? The one who scolded was Zeng Qinglin, the patrol 'captain' of the Sanlian Gang! β
Liangkun then asked, "What about the one who was scolded?" β
The young man said: "That's the faithful and righteous Ma brothers in Hong Kong, big horses, thousands of mountains, and small horses. β
Liangkun let out an "oh" and said, "It turned out to be the 'underground commander'!" Brother, you know a lot of people! β
The young man chuckled smugly and said, "Of course! I am Li Zhilong from 'Miaokou', and my father is GETA. Ever heard of it? β
Liangkun looked at the other party's face carefully, and said in a local manner: "It turned out to be Zhilong Boy, hello, I am Liangkun from Hong Kong." β
Li Zhilongzhi said proudly: "You're welcome! Just call me 'Prince'. β
Continue watching the play.
Captain Zeng Qinglin crossed his hands on his waist and said in a choked voice: "I can't be the captain now, and I am wanted by the British, how can you explain!" β
Pony Ma Wanhai said: "The court will give you an explanation, it has nothing to do with me!" If you are not satisfied, go to the court. β
As soon as he heard that Ma Wanhai had put the responsibility on the court, Lei Gong, the leader of the Sanlian Gang, and Cai Guanxi, the leader of the Sihai Gang, hurriedly jumped out, and Zeng Qinglin scolded Ma Wanhai, a picture of the court's "filial son and grandson".
- Of course, Liangkun didn't know Lei Gong, the leader of the Sanlian Gang, and Cai Guanxi, the leader of the Four Seas Gang, they were all told to him by Li Zhilong.
The little pony Ma Wanhai saw that he was besieged, only the eldest brother Ma Qianshan defended himself, and none of the community bosses from Hong Kong helped him out, especially the main family Hong Xing, who was the head of the Chaozhou Gang, no one spoke, so he simply lay on the ground and "rolled on a lazy donkey" and said: "It's the court that is sorry for me!" β
Captain Zeng Qinglin said angrily: "If you don't admit it, you still have a hard mouth, I will kill you!" β
Captain Zeng Qinglin took out a small revolver from his waist on the spot, pointed the muzzle at Ma Wanhai, who was lying on the ground, and pulled the trigger.
In a fit of rage, the captain Zeng Qinglin really pulled the trigger, but fortunately the bullet did not go off and jammed.
Seeing this, a man wearing the uniform of the Investigation Bureau stepped forward, hugged the captain Zeng Qinglin, and shouted: "Don't be impulsive! β
- Why did there be people wearing the uniforms of the Investigation Bureau at the scene, of course, because Jiang Zhen also had the rank of major general of the military command.
Jiang Tianwen, who was sitting in the chief, stood up, pointed at the captain Zeng Qinglin, and asked, "Captain, what does it mean that you brought a gun to my father's public memorial ceremony?" β
After asking, Jiang Tianwen turned his fire and pointed at Lei Gong again, and said, "Lei Gang Master, you must give me an explanation for this matter!" β
However, the captain Zeng Qinglin did not give up, and kept shouting and asked Ma Wanhai angrily: "Pony, what do you mean by 'it's okay'!" β
The little pony Ma Wanhai suddenly said something shocking, and threw out a sentence: "You go to Jiang Xiaoyong to discuss meritorious deeds!" β
At this time, at the banquet, whether it was the big brother of the rivers and lakes, or the military, police, and specialty, everyone was in an uproar!
- Even Li Zhilong was dumbfounded, and he didn't dare to give Liangkun science popularization at all: Who is Jiang Xiaoyong.
β¦β¦
After the banquet, Liangkun talked about the dispute between the captain Zeng Qinglin and the pony Ma Wanhai during the banquet, and said: "It turns out that it was Zeng Qinglin, the captain of the Sanlian Gang, who helped the pony Ma Wanhai smuggle from Hong Kong to Taiwan? β
Ni Kun said in his words: "If they don't make such a fuss, I'm afraid no one will ever know." β
Liangkun asked thoughtfully: "You mean, they made this trouble, on purpose?" β
Ni Kun said: "Although the captain Zeng Qinglin has a hot temper, he is not a person who does not know the seriousness. People who don't know the severity can't be one of the four major inspectors of the 'world's largest gang'. What's more, his father was Zeng Xianying, the general of the Central Union who was responsible for receiving the '76th' after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. ββThis is the Sanlian Gang showing merit to the court and Xiao Jiang! However, borrowing the topic to play the role of borrowing our Hongxing's leading funeral to do this, I really didn't take our Hongxing seriously. β
Liang Kun was relieved: "In Hong Kong, the funeral of a wealthy family is a door to politics. Who will mourn and who will help the spirit, these are all particular. Du Yuesheng said, don't be afraid of being used, being used by others shows that you are still valuable! β
