Chapter 4 The Hung Gang
When Shen Du heard this, he immediately stopped hesitating, hugged his fists, and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Chen Pojun laughed, stepped forward a few steps, and grabbed Shen Du's shoulder: "From now on, you will be my brother of the Hong Gang." ”
"When I go back and meet the gang leader, I can let you be the guardian of the gang, only under the hall master. He said.
After saying that, Chen Pojun turned around again and introduced the black-faced man to Shen Du: "This is Lu Heizi, and he is also a protector of my Hong Gang. ”
"Lu Protector. Shen Du arched his hand.
Lu Heizi seemed to be a little depressed, but in the end he arched his hand, which was regarded as a salute.
Chen Pojun nodded, and then said, "It's over, I'll go back to the gang later." ”
The rest of the people had no opinion, including Shen Du, who had just joined the Hong Gang, and everyone immediately walked out of the prison.
After getting out of the prison, Shen Du looked at the sky and found that it was late at night, and the stars and moon were hazy and dark, which was quite a bit of a stretch of his hand and could not see his fingers.
The gang didn't know what way to go, and when they came out of this prison, they didn't even see half of the servants along the way. In the dark night, the group was unimpeded, got into a carriage directly, and took advantage of the night to leave without dust.
The carriage was originally quite spacious, and it was enough for six or seven people. However, Chen Pojun and Shen Du have been on death row for a long time, sloppy, turbid and stinky, and a few people around them can't help but avoid it. Chen Pojun is the hall master, and several of his subordinates are not easy to show too obviously. Although Shen Du was promised to be appointed as the protector of the law, after all, when he first joined the gang, everyone was still not convinced, and they did not hide their disgust at the moment and tried to avoid it. As a result, the inside of the carriage became crowded and quite bumpy.
Along the way, Shen Du talked with Chen Pojun from time to time, and he already knew something about the Hong Gang.
It is said that hundreds of years ago, when the army was divided and the army was in chaos, hundreds of people were displaced in the war, their families were destroyed, and the so-called mourning was everywhere, but that's it.
In the troubled times, the heroes of the British only cared about fighting each other, and most of the wise generals were busy making contributions from the dragon, and no one cared about the life or death of the small people. In this way, in order to protect themselves, some ordinary people spontaneously united and supported each other to ward off military disasters. When the troubled times subsided, some gangs naturally spawned out.
Hongbang is one of them.
In Qingshi County and even in the entire Luoyun County, there is only one gang with such a background, and the people of the Hong Gang are always proud of it and boast about it.
It's just that the moon is cloudy and sunny, and the rise and fall of power is very common, and the emperor of the court is not exempt, and there is only a gang in the rivers and lakes. Hongbang started very early and has a strong foundation, but it can't bear the passage of time, and it finally tends to decline after several twists and turns.
At that time, the Iron Fist Gang was flourishing, and it was pressing step by step, and the Hong Gang almost wanted to be removed. However, at this time, there was a remarkable figure in the Hong Gang - Qiu Bonian.
This Qiu Bonian is the leader of the last generation of the Hong Gang, and the people in the rivers and lakes are called "the god of opening the monument". At the beginning, he fell off a cliff in a duel between rivers and lakes, and everyone thought he was dead. Unexpectedly, when the Hong Gang was in danger, Qiu Bonian suddenly appeared, and his skills made great progress, turning the tide and saving the dying Hong Gang.
Since then, the Hong Gang has come back to life, regained its prosperity from decline, and established a firm foothold in Qingshi County.
Later, Qiu Bo's old injury recurred and died, and his second son Qiu Jilong sat in the position of the helper, which is still today.
This Qiu Jilong is in his early forties, and his martial arts are very good, but he is not inferior to his father. It's just that when it comes to the skill of handling things, it is more than a star and a half. When Chen Pojun talked to Shen Du, although he said it implicitly, in Shen Du's opinion, his evaluation of the current gang leader was nothing more than one sentence - more than enough to keep and not enough to be enterprising.
......
About half an hour passed, and the coachman heard a "whoo" across the carriage, and the carriage stopped the bump and slowly stopped.
As soon as everyone saw the carriage stop, they immediately jumped out of the carriage impatiently, and in the blink of an eye, only Chen Pojun and Shen Du were left in the carriage.
Chen Pojun laughed dryly twice and said, "Brother Shen, you and I should hurry up and wash up, it's really disrespectful to meet the gang leader like this." ”
"Nature, nature. Shen Du was also quite embarrassed, and immediately nodded again and again.
I used to live in a prison cell, and I didn't feel how sloppy it was, but now that I have come out, I haven't felt what it's like to be free again, and the smell of this body will make people feel ashamed.
The two got out of the carriage one after the other.
"This is the helm of my Hong Gang. Chen Pojun stretched out his hand and pointed forward.
Shen Du then raised his eyes.
I saw a mansion revealed in front of me, with a high gate and a wide courtyard, red walls and blue tiles, a plaque hung on the door, and two big characters of dragon, flying and phoenix dancing on it: Hongbang.
The courtyard wall is towering, I am afraid that it is more than two zhang, along the wide road, extending from both sides of the gate, it is impossible to distinguish how far it extends in the night, but the breadth of this mansion can be seen.
In front of the gate, there are two high stone lions, the eyes of the copper bell are implied to be fierce, the sharp teeth are like knives, the majesty is all sides, and the end is lifelike, as if it is about to come to life, choose people and devour.
The four men with knives stood tall in front of the door, like falcon's eyes glancing from time to time. When Shen Du and the pedestrian got out of the car, someone stepped forward to greet him.
"But Hall Master Chen is back?" the Tsing Yi gang member glanced at the unkempt Chen Pojun and asked with a little hesitation.
"Aren't you blind?" Lu Heizi listened, but his round eyes glared, "Even the hall master doesn't recognize it?"
"Lu Protector forgives sins...... It's a small clumsiness. The man hurriedly bowed down and said.
Lu Heizi didn't bother to pay attention to it, only rolled his eyes, and then turned around and said: "Hall Master, Gang Master Qiu has set up a banquet in Juyi Hall to catch the wind, will his subordinates go to report it?"
Chen Pojun thought for a while, and then said: "Brother Shen and I went to wash up and then went to Juyi Hall, but it is a little inappropriate to meet the helper like this. ”
Then he said to the Tsing Yi gang on the side: "This is the brother I recognized in prison, and I am about to serve as the protector of the gang." You quickly go and arrange a room for Brother Shen to wash up. ”
The man clenched his fists in response, and then said to Shen Du: "Shen Protector, my subordinates will take you over." ”
Chen Pojun also said: "Brother Shen, you can go." Later, you can come to the Juyi Hall to meet the helper with me. ”
"Good. Shen Du said.
Chen Pojun nodded, and then left on his own.
Shen Du, under the leadership of others, turned around all the way, passed through large and small courtyards, bypassed various pavilions, and finally found a place where he could take a bath.
After all this time, he finally took a shower.
As if a long drought coincides with a rainstorm, this wash made Shen Du comfortable from head to toe, and his muscles and bones seemed to be soft. For the first time, he felt that taking a shower could be so enjoyable.
After bathing, he took care of his hair again, changed into clean clothes, and Shen Du, who was already refreshing, went to Juyi Hall under the leadership.
On weekdays, whenever there is a major event, the gang leader and the six hall masters will gather here to discuss and make decisions.
Chen Pojun, as the head of the hall, has now come out of prison, and several leaders in the gang naturally want to set up a banquet as soon as possible to show the righteousness of brothers.
So although it was late at night at this time, every household had already fallen asleep, but the Hongbang Mansion was quite lively. Especially near the Juyi Hall is the most, the lights are bright, people come and go, so it is not noisy.
Shen Du, under the leadership of a group of people, came all the way to the door of Juyi Hall.
The first thing that catches your eye is a marble staircase, which extends from bottom to top, extending to a foot high, in front of the majestic plate, quite majestic.
At the top of the stone steps is the house of the Gathering Hall.
Although there is only one floor, the layout is high and broad, the body is magnanimous, and there is a plaque on it, which is written with three big characters that are extremely strong: Juyi Hall. The golden light is shining, and it is majestic, and I am afraid that it is even better than the county government office.
At this moment, in order to catch Chen Pojun's wind, a table of wine has been set up in the Juyi Hall, and the smell of wine and meat is overflowing.
Shen Dufang walked to the door of the Juyi Hall and was thinking about how to get in, but suddenly there was a loud shout from inside.
