Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Gang Style
In the blink of an eye, two days passed. Early in the morning on the day of the celebration, Zhao Weiming and his disciples cleaned all the roads leading to the official road and sent people to guard them to welcome guests. After everything was cleaned up, it was the end of the morning. Not long after, with the appearance of the Lingxu Daoist, Master Fang Zheng, and the newly elected heads of the six major factions and a cadre, various Jianghu sects also began to come to the venue one after another. Although this time it was a joint invitation from the six major factions, there were many people. However, due to the thorough preparation made in advance, there was not the slightest chaos at the scene;
As soon as the time passed, after Master Fang Zheng and Lingxu Daoist introduced Zhao Weiming, Zhao Weiming immediately took the stage to introduce the development of the beggar gang over the past ten years: After more than ten years of development, the beggar gang has developed from tens of thousands of disciples to a gang with more than 100,000 disciples all over the world! At the same time, the organizational structure is also more perfect. Among them, a new deputy gang leader is set up to handle the affairs of the gang when the gang leader is out. More than 100 rudders in the country are integrated into the four rudders of great benevolence, great righteousness, great wisdom and great courage. The disciples are divided into one bag to nine bags according to their personal qualifications and seniority, and an elder is elected from among the nine bags of disciples, who is responsible for instructing the disciples and has full authority to negotiate with other sects and beggar gang insiders, mediate disputes, and socialize on behalf of the gang leader. A law enforcement elder: responsible for enforcing the gang rules and eliminating those who have caused major losses to the beggar gang on behalf of the gang leader, such as mutineers, responders and spies sent by the other party, etc.; A Boss Faucet: Responsible for assisting the Faucet in daily affairs, and providing the necessary needs for the daily management of the Faucet. There are also four Dharma Protector Elders who are specially responsible for the safety and security of the gang leader and deputy gang leader...... There are all kinds of them. At the same time, it was also determined that the green jade staff was the token of the head of the beggar gang, and the eighteen palms of the dragon descending, the dragon capture gong, and the dog stick method were the three major apologetic magic skills of the beggar gang.
Just when Zhao Weiming and others were explaining carefully on the stage, and all the heroes in the audience were listening attentively, suddenly, there was a commotion on the official road outside the venue. Following the prestige, I saw two teams of officials escorting a plaque all the way to the venue. On closer inspection, these groups of officials rely on but they are quite different. I saw that a few sergeants behind me were holding longevity peaches, food boxes, and other things in their hands, and the leading general with bright clothes and armor was none other than Zhao Weiming's son, Zhao Chengzong! What were these people going to do? Because the large-scale rally at that time had to be reported to the government for approval, could it be that the beggar gang's celebration had not been reported to the governor's office, which attracted this public man to come and obstruct it? Everyone at the venue muttered. While thinking about it, the honor guard had approached. Zhao Chengzong, the leader of the team, immediately turned over and dismounted and climbed onto the earthen platform. After he looked around, he immediately said loudly, "The emperor has decreed: Since the establishment of the beggar gang, it has refused to allow foreign races to be outside the country several times. On the occasion of the 10 th anniversary of the founding of the Beggar Gang, in order to show their merits, a plaque is specially given to them as a token of encouragement! Because all the people in the audience are heroes of the rivers and lakes, they rarely have anything to do with the government; not only have they never received a reward from the government, but some of them have even been suppressed and persecuted. Now seeing that this group of Huazi actually worked hard for the emperor to give the plaque, they all stared at the plaque with bated breath. When he was young, after Zhao Weiming knelt down to thank the emperor, he ordered Hong Qi to take the plaque and raise it above his head for everyone to see. I saw that there were five gold powder characters written on it, 'the first gang in the world'!
After a short period of silence, the Lingxu Dao Leader and Master Fang Zheng took the lead, and the disciples of the six major sects and the group of heroes in the audience immediately cheered one after another. After a long time, Master Fang Zheng stopped everyone and said loudly, "Since the establishment of the Beggar Gang, they have been a member of my martial arts righteous path!" Its gang leader, Zhao Weiming, has fought bravely against the demons in the Demon Domain, the Wanxian Gang and other evil demons, and has overcome the ferocity, especially in the battle with the Jinmian people, the leader behind the scenes of the Wanxian Gang, he has made great contributions. In view of this, after discussing with the heads of the six major factions, Lao Wei also specially prepared a horizontal plaque for Zhao Weiming's gang leader!' As soon as these words came out, the disciples of the six major factions had already carried the plaque to the stage. After Hong Qi took it, when Zhao Weiming was asked to lift the veil covering it, everyone realized that Zhao Weiming, who was still on the stage just now, had disappeared at this time!
After a fruitless search, this was a big deal for Zhao Chengzong, who wanted to take advantage of the end of the celebration to celebrate his father's forty birthday. Although the atmosphere at this time was a little awkward, fortunately, everything that should be said was already clear. In desperation, the Lingxu Dao Chief, Master Fang Zheng, and the newly elected deputy gang leader of the Beggar Gang apologized and expressed their gratitude to the various factions in the rivers and lakes who were present that day, and after seeing that it was not too early, they ordered someone to put tables and chairs in the open top, and then put the wine and food brought by Zhao Chengzong; Because the dishes used were all brought by Zhao Chengzong from Luoyang City, not only the workmanship was very fine, but even the raw materials were very particular; A meal was eaten until nightfall, and the crowd dispersed.
When I returned to Xiaguang Island again, it was already the spring time when the willow leaves were like eyebrows and snow. In this turn, Zhao Weiming did not blindly rush to the road, but leisurely and leisurely appreciated the scenery along the way. Looking at the scene of the abundance of the people and the people living and working in peace and contentment, coupled with Emperor Renzong's leniency and benevolent rule of the country, what calamities will happen in such a peaceful and prosperous era? This confusion has been entrenched in Zhao Weiming's mind for a long time, especially after learning about Zhao Xuanlang's origin, and in addition to his own contact with him several times, I am convinced of his words. But what is the misfortune he is talking about? This made Zhao Weiming puzzled.
And the more things you can't figure out, the more people want to figure them out. Especially in the past two months, when he saw that his son was so valued by Renzong, and that all this beauty was about to be completely changed by an unknown disaster, he was tormented and often couldn't sleep at night, pondering this problem all night.
After thinking about it, it seems that he can only find out the clues after returning to Xiaguang Island and asking Zhao Xuanlang. Because he knows that things in the rivers and lakes are treacherous, most of the time he is inexplicably involved, and after some entanglement, this is why he said goodbye to the beggars at the celebration that day. But after observing all the way, not only the people live and work in peace and contentment, but the emperor is admired by all the people, even if it is rumored in the market, it seems to be much more peaceful than before. As soon as he arrived in Jiangzhou, Zhao Weiming, who was anxious, asked the government for a small boat, and then followed the precedent and came to Xiaguang Island by hitting the water with his palm.
