Chapter Seventy-Two: The Inaugural Meeting of the Beggar Gang
Duan You said sincerely: "Senior brother, now I have three major things to do, all of which are related to the thieves of Lu Long. The establishment of a beggar gang is one, if it weren't for Lu Long harming my family and causing Ling'er to lose, I wouldn't have worked hard to mobilize the people. Although I said that I could be the leader of the gang, but in private I was walking on thin ice, everything was cautious, after thinking about it, tomorrow on the day of the founding meeting of the beggar gang, it is inevitable that there will be accidents, and I still ask the senior brother to help; the second major thing is to find Ling'er, if Ling'er is in Yao Qin State, the senior brother is familiar with the place, plus the brothers in the gang, it should be much easier; killing Lu Long, it is the third thing, I know that the senior brother is afraid of affecting my beggar gang brothers, so he does not want to join the gang, but I have a blood feud with Lu Long, and I should repay him with death, so please join hands with me to punish Lu Long's evil thief!"
Yao Ren pondered for a long time and did not say a word.
Duan Youzhi Yao Ren's current situation is really difficult, and Yao Bi is definitely chasing him everywhere, which is by no means as easy as he said. After joining the beggar gang, Yao Bi threw a mouse bogey, and he would stop it. Beggar gang disciples, all over the world, if you want to seek revenge and assassinate a person, how can you do it?
Therefore, Erduan has worded to try hard, lest it hurt Yao Ren's self-esteem.
After a while, he suddenly smiled and said, "Senior brother is good at work, and I will consider it later." ”
On September 9, the day of the formation of the beggar gang arrived.
Early in the morning, four or five thousand beggars and homeless people gathered on Suwu Mountain. Zhu Yuan, Chen Bao, Chen Chang and other Ruian Mansion disciples each have a division, and divide the beggars into several phalanxes according to the region, and gather in the open space in front of the greenhouse, standing or sitting.
To Duan's surprise, Tuoba Thundercloud also came.
Tuoba Leiyun brought more than ten big men, all of them strong and fierce, and when they met, they said that Tuoba sent him to suppress the battle. Duan Youxi said: "Thunder Yun's predecessors came to admire their faces, and they happened to compete with the three referees of senior brother Yao Ren and Brother Shi Kai. ”
At the end of the day, after a shocking drum, Duan You walked to the front of the shed with a dog-beating stick in his hand, stood against the wind, and said loudly: "Brothers, today, several countries stand side by side, you fight for me, there are many wars, we and other people, suffering from wars, having no food and clothing, and being displaced. Duan Youcai wants to unite everyone, take care of each other, tide over difficulties together, and set up a beggar gang today!" he said and raised the bamboo stick high.
Zhu Yuan, Chen Bao, Chen Chang and other Ruian Mansion disciples raised their arms and shouted: "The establishment of the beggar gang is today!"
"Establish a beggar gang today!" thousands of people waved their arms in unison and shouted several times in unison, like a mountain shouting a tsunami.
Duan You's blood was surging, and he announced the three iron laws of the beggar gang and the twelve gang rules.
The three iron laws are:
First, the beggars will never dominate and will not occupy one side.
Second, the beggars do not participate in the struggle for state affairs, but only defend their families and the country.
Third, the beggars do not cling to or attach themselves to any force.
The 12 gang rules are:
First, it is forbidden to commit any offence or betray the gang leader.
Second, it is forbidden to forcibly beg for food.
Article 3: It is forbidden to be greedy for money that is not shared, and it is forbidden to obtain property by fraud.
Fourth, no theft of property.
Article 5: Promiscuous sex with bandits and collusion with evil spirits is promiscuous.
Article 6: The strong must not bully the weak and injure innocent people without permission.
Article 7: Do not rape # lustful and molest women.
Article 8: Do not deceive superiors or bully subordinates.
Article 9, do not be arrogant and offend fellow martial artists.
Article 10: No cannibalism.
Article 11: Crowds must not be gathered to gamble.
Article 12: It is forbidden to arbitrarily quarrel with outsiders and cause trouble.
After announcing it, Duan You said again: "As above, we should abide by the iron rules and protect my beggars!"
Thousands of people raised their arms in unison and shouted: "Abide by it, protect my beggar gang!"
After that, Zhu Yuan announced the rules of the conference: two candidates for the helm were elected from all over the country, and then the Council of Elders was formed, and the Council of Elders elected the leader and deputy leader. Each helmsman is appointed by the assistant leader, and if necessary, the elders can also appoint the deputy helmsman first.
On Suwu Mountain, the beggars gathered together in clusters in the east and west to elect candidates for the helm. Most of the beggars who came this time were from all over northern China. South of the Yangtze River in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the city of Yangtho, due to the rush of time, there was no time to arraign. Several people in Duan agreed to set up rudders in Jiuquan, Zhangye, Ledu, Jincheng, Jincheng, Chengdu, Tongwancheng, Gaoping, Chang'an, Pingcheng, Luoyang, Longcheng, Shouyang, Jianye, Xiangyang and other cities.
The beggars were all full of excitement, shouting and shouting, and there were also competitions, so Zhu Yuan asked them to compete in the open space in front of the greenhouse, and Tuoba Leiyun, Yao Ren, and Shi Kai judged the victory.
When it was lively, more than 40 riders galloped from the direction of Xuanwei County, and when they arrived at the foot of the mountain, they saw that it was Wei Ji, and Duan You went down the mountain with Duan Feng and Chen Changying.
Wei Ji accompanied one person, but he was the third son of the current lord of Beiliang.
Fuqu Muqian has thick eyebrows and starry eyes, a short mustache on his upper lip, quite capable, and a humble person, seeing Duan You, he laughed and said: "Duan Gang Master, congratulations." Then he and Duan You went up the mountain.
Frustrated Muqian asked, "Can there be a bad guy making trouble?" Hearing Duan You say that no one is making trouble, he said, "Don't worry, Duan Gang Master, if there is a bad guy, teach him to come and go!"
When he arrived at the greenhouse on the mountain, Duan You introduced Yao Ren and others to Fuqu Muqian one by one, and then invited Fuqu Muqian to sit on the top to watch the ceremony.
After a while, the list of candidates for the helmsman was reported from all over the country, and Duan Yiyou looked through them one by one, and saw that there were candidates from two places who knew it: Boss You and Tang Heizi, but Le Du had the name of the bald Wen branch.
Isn't it the general who attacked Li Xin with the bald Tanxing prince at Nanliang's grandfather mountain a few months ago? Duan You asked Zhu Yuan to summon this person.
After a while, people arrived, and sure enough, it was General Nanliang's bald Wen Branch. But seeing that he was dressed as a civilian, he no longer had a flying expression that day, and when he asked, he knew that the bald Tan Xing pursued Li Xin Shi Lu without authorization that day, and was punished by the bald Wei Tan of the country, and the prince of Tan Xing was angry with him and the bald hair, he was angry, hung up the crown and left, and after learning the news that Duan You had established the beggar gang, he came as a homeless person and wanted to serve the beggar gang.
On the side, he was frustrated, but he was concerned, and after Bald Wenzhi left, he quietly said to Duan You: "Duan Gang Master, I ask you for this person." Seeing that Duan Youyou agreed, he said clearly, "I want to persuade this person to return to Nanliang, and in the future, he will be used by my Beiliang, it must be a strange army, please don't expose this matter to the public." ”
Duan Yousaw that the frustrated Qu Muqian pushed his heart to him, and he had a good impression of him in his heart.
The list of candidates for the helmsmen in various places has been reported, but there are only two places missing, Longcheng and Chengdu. was about to ask, but saw several people coming noisily not far away.
Duan You was surprised when he saw someone coming: it was Du Cunjiang and Du Qing from Yangtho Bacheng. The two of them and a group of people quarreled and walked, and when they arrived in front of the greenhouse, a beggar in his fifties spoke with a Shu accent, pointed at Du Qing, and said to Duan You: "Tell the helper, this person is from Yangtho Baa City, but he wants to rob the helmsman of our Chengdu rudder, I don't wait, he twists my arm, please help the master punish this person." After speaking, he scolded in a low voice, "Turtle son." ”
Without waiting for Duan You to speak, Du Qing stiffened his neck and said, "Tell me...... Helper, I'm from Chengdu, when I'm from Chengdu, when I'm the helmsman of Chengdu, why not?"
Du Cunjiang hurriedly said: "Yang Tho Baa City is adjacent to Chengdu, and the two cities have a rudder, you Chengdu people can deserve it, and my people from Yang Tho Baa City can also deserve it, why did my nephew rob you of the position of the helmsman?"
Duan You and the others all laughed, Yang Tho Baa City and Chengdu, thousands of miles, how did they become neighbors? Du Qing Hu was entangled, and his uncle Du Cunjiang also forced his resignation, this pair of uncles and nephews is really a living treasure.
Zhu Yuan said: "You want to help the master judge, but you quarrel like this in person, what kind of system is it?" Seeing a few people silent, he asked Du Qing, "This brother, looking at your complexion and dress, isn't it a child?"
Du Qing was stunned, glanced at his robe, suddenly "stabbed", tore half of the robe, exposed one arm, grabbed a handful of soil from the ground, wiped it on his face, and said: "You judge me from being a child by dressing up, I'll show you, look, I'm more a child than a child!"
The crowd burst into laughter. Zhu Yuan said: "Brother Tai, don't make this joke, please watch the ceremony." ”
Du Qing said again: "I am not a son, but I am a homeless person. ”
Duan Youdao: "Brother Du Qing, you have a fixed residence, you have no worries about food and clothing, and the Du family in Yang Tho is a dignified city, how did you become a homeless person?"
Du Qing was speechless. Du Cunjiang said: "Helper, the inferior nephew got into trouble in Yangtho Baa City a few months ago, and offended the seven surnames, and the seven surnames of the young man shouted every day to teach the inferior nephew a lesson, and my grandfather had to avoid Chengdu and became a homeless person, please promise one." ”
As soon as Duan heard it, he knew it. On the same day in Fenghuangtai, Du Qing injured the young man surnamed Zhao and Chang Jialong with an iron rod, and bluffed He, Yang and other young masters. Then he smiled and said: "Old man Du, Brother Du Qing, your uncle and nephew just go back to Yangtho City, I will write a note with the two of you, and hand it over to the heads of the Zhao and Yin families, restrain the young man, and don't seek trouble with Brother Du Qing, how about it?"
Du Qing was overjoyed, and suddenly shook it to the end: "Du Qing thanked the young city lord!" As soon as he finished speaking, he slapped Du Cunjiang: "You stupid, stupid!"
Du Qing's voice was quite loud, and everyone around him could hear it clearly, and the surroundings fell silent for a moment, and everyone looked at Duan You with puzzled expressions.
Young City Lord? Duan You is the young city lord of Yang Tho Baa City?
Suddenly, a voice sounded faintly: "Zhao, since you are the young city lord of Yang Tho City, how can you be the leader of the beggar gang? "The one who spoke shrank in the crowd, but did not show his face.
In everyone's hearts, they are all in the same place. The third article of the iron law of the beggars: do not cling to or attach to any force. Duan You has just announced. If the young city lord became the gang leader, wouldn't the entire beggar gang become a vassal of Yang Tho Baa City! In this way, Duan Youdang could not be the leader of the beggar gang!
Du Qing knew that he was in trouble, and his face turned red, "I...... I ...... twice, but there was nothing to say.
"He's not the young city lord of my Yang Tho City!" A voice suddenly sounded, and everyone saw that it was Duan Feng. Duan Feng came out of the crowd and said loudly, "The day before yesterday, Yang Tho Bacheng nominated him as a candidate for the young city lord, but there are three candidates, and it is uncertain whether he can become the young city lord, and even if he can become a young city lord, it will be three years later." ”
