Forty-seven, Elder Du
The Justice Gang has four major elders, namely the law enforcement elders, the treasurer elders, the foreign affairs elders, and the chairman of the board of directors.
Tan Dazhi's Elder Bao is a foreign elder, who is responsible for the social activities of his gang and other sects, and is nicknamed "Iron Lady" by people in the rivers and lakes.
Elder Du is one of them, the chairman of the board of directors, and he is responsible for and takes care of the daily chores such as eating, drinking, housing, transportation, and receiving guests.
Yang Mingjian didn't expect that this seemingly little-known person would have intersections with the two elders of the Justice Gang, and he was also very surprised in his heart, thinking, this is really a person who cannot be seen, and the sea cannot be beaten. Thinking of this, Yang Mingjian couldn't help but be a little impressed by this rich man, and he said: "I heard that Master Tan was frightened, do you know who did it." “
Tan Dazhi smiled bitterly: "Now, not only are your righteous gangs in a mess, but even this world is not necessarily peaceful, I recently took advantage of my good mood to go outside for a walk, but I didn't expect to meet robbers." This Ying Tianfu is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, who dares to mess around? These robbers are of unknown origin, and their actions are bold and very suspicious. “
Yang Mingjian said: "I asked the two of them to help Tan Master take care of the point, in case these people come to find trouble with Tan Ye again." “
Talking about Dazhi is worried that it is difficult to find a master to protect his safety in a short period of time, Yang Mingjian's words are in the heart of Dazhi, and he is overjoyed at the moment: "Gongzi Gaoyi, I am grateful, and I will do my best to repay Gongzi's kindness today." “
Yang Mingjian said lightly: "It's a small matter, why do you need to worry about the master?"
After Yang Mingjian asked Dongfang Yuan and Dongfang Bo to send away Tan Dazhi, the rain gradually became lighter, and after a while, Ji Lingxiao and Gu Minghong wore hats and robes, and walked into the "Blessing Inn".
Yang Mingjian happened to be at the door, and when he saw that Ji Lingxiao and Gu Minghong were not around, he knew that they should not have received Tie Dun, Lei Hongtao and Ding Canghai.
Ji Lingxiao said: "When we went to the Qinhuai River, it happened to be raining heavily, we hid for a while, bought rain gear, and went around the Qinhuai River, but we didn't see Brother Tie Dun and them. ”
Yang Mingjian said: "I'm glad you guys." Maybe they haven't arrived yet. Let's check it out tomorrow. ”
Early the next morning, Yang Mingjian asked everyone to gather in his room.
Yang Mingjian asked Ji Lingxiao and Gu Minghong to go to Qinhuai River to see if they could meet Tie Dun, Lei Hongtao and Ding Canghai, and asked You Mingming to help Dongfang Yuan Dongfang Bo solve the matter of talking about Dazhi, while the others stayed at the "Laifu Inn" and waited.
As for what he should do, Yang Mingjian said, "I have to go to see Elder Du immediately." “
Elder Du is usually busy with affairs, and in order to facilitate his return home, he has purchased a family property near the helm of the Justice Gang.
Elder Du's home was not far from the helm of the Justice Gang, and it was right under the nose of Wen Feng, so Elder Du didn't expect Yang Mingjian to have the courage to come to his house alone.
Yang Mingjian grinned and said, "I took the liberty of disturbing the elders late at night, and I hope to forgive my sins!"
Elder Du was sitting precariously, without the slightest expression on his face, and said indifferently: "I also said who this uninvited guest is, it turned out to be Gongzi." “
Yang Mingjian said: "Elder Du has been away for a few days, it seems that his demeanor is still the same!"
Elder Du looked at him and said, "Childe, you seem to have lost a lot of weight. ”
Yang Mingjian said frankly: "Elder Lao is worried, there have been a lot of things recently, and life has really been hard!"
Elder Du praised: "I haven't seen you for a long time, but looking at your skills, I have also improved a lot!"
Yang Mingjian appeared quietly just now, silently, and the light work was really good, if it wasn't for Yang Mingjian himself to speak, Elder Du would still be aware of Yang Mingjian's arrival for a while.
Yang Mingjian said: "The revenge has not been avenged, the wish has not been fulfilled, the kung fu dare not be wasted, and the slightest laziness is not dared every day." ”
Elder Du laughed and said, "The helper has accepted a righteous son like you, and he has no regrets in this life." “
Yang Mingjian said: "My father-in-law has met you, an old friend, and I have no regrets in this life." ”
Yang Mingjian's words are appropriate, he can afford to hold it and put it down.
Elder Du smiled slightly, "You didn't come here at night just to see me, right?"
Yang Mingjian said bluntly: "I want to bring down the shocking wind, I hope Elder Du can help me." “
Elder Du said: "With your current strength, just with you hairy boys, you want to fight with a big devil? You don't have any chance of winning, how can I trust you? You play with Wen Feng, it's not a small gamble, and you are ready to risk all your life and the lives of others at any time and place. ”
Yang Mingjian was excited, and said, "Are you just staying out of the matter and watching your gang be destroyed!"
Elder Du said with a solemn face: "People are inherently dead, either heavier than Mount Tai or lighter than a feather. Knowing that he is losing, he still has to put his life into it, that is not a hero, that is a fool, and such a person dies in vain. A true hero never fights uncertain battles, and does not act as fools who give their lives in vain. ”
Elder Du's words were not unreasonable, after all, Yang Mingjian and Wen Feng were in a hurry, and he couldn't see how much chance Yang Mingjian had of winning.
Yang Mingjian said: "Elder Du is kind-hearted, in the eyes of all of us, you are the elder respected by everyone in our family, as a benevolent elder, can you just watch the wind cover the sky with one hand, and the power is big, scourge the rivers and lakes, and harm many of our innocent brothers?" “
Elder Du said on his face: "It's not that I'm afraid of death, it doesn't matter if I die, but once I turn my face with Wen Feng, then it will trigger a big battle in the gang, and then there will inevitably be countless casualties and rivers of blood." Both sides are their own brothers, how can they watch their own people kill each other? Such a bloody war is either crippled or killed, and it is not a small fight, and if it can be avoided, it should be avoided as much as possible. ”
Elder Du is usually kind to others and values harmony, and what he says is in line with his usual human nature.
Yang Mingjian said: "Do you know what the original intention of our Righteous Gang is? Our purpose is to defeat evil and promote justice. “
Elder Du sneered, "In addition to the justice in your mouth, I also know that in order to eradicate a demon and let so many people bleed to death, do you think this is justice?"
Yang Mingjian had already heard what Elder Du meant, he just wanted to turn the conflict into a jade silk, and he didn't want to cause a big fight and cannibalism because of the dispute between the gang leaders.
Yang Mingjian said: "In this case, well, I don't want you to help me, in turn, I will help you, if Elder Du has any good ideas, you might as well say bluntly, I, Yang Mingjian, only look forward to you." ”
When Yang Mingjian spoke like this, it was tantamount to begging Elder Du, and Elder Du could naturally hear what he meant. Yang Mingjian is the righteous son of the old gang leader Xuanyuan Changkong, that is, the young gang leader of the Justice Gang, he depreciated his own identity and said this, and Elder Du could not be indifferent.
However, Elder Du is also his difficulty, usually let him take care of daily chores, he can be at ease and free. But if he wants to settle the civil strife in front of his gang, he also feels powerless.
Elder Du sighed and said, "You are a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, if you don't say a "not afraid", you can settle everything, as for how to deal with Wen Feng, we have to think long-term." ”
Yang Mingjian said: "Now, the crisis is imminent. Hearing the ambition of the wolf, passers-by know that his first step is to occupy the position of the gang leader and control the power of the Justice Gang. In order to satisfy his ambitions, his second step may be to dominate the entire martial arts. He's a madman, and once he goes to war with all the factions, he's pushing his gang to a place of no return. Our righteous foundation for decades, with your contribution and your full hard work, do you watch yourself and your father-in-law's decades of hard work be ruined?"
In fact, Elder Du and Yang Mingjian each had their own reasons. However, Yang Mingjian's words also happened to his thoughts, what he was worried about was not who could revitalize the Justice Gang, for him, it didn't matter who could revitalize the Justice Gang, he still did his duty as an elder, what he worried about was who would destroy the Justice Gang, once the Justice Gang was destroyed, he was equivalent to nothing. The fame and status he has managed to establish in the gang, and the popularity he has gathered over the decades will all be lost, which is what he is most afraid of.
Elder Du groaned for a while, and said, "Leave the green mountains without worrying about running out of firewood! You must not be in a hurry, everything must be done step by step, step by step. As for the gang election, I can drag it out for you a little longer. Let me tell you a clear way, you go to the foreign affairs elder "Iron Lady" Bao Fengniang, if you can persuade her to join forces with you, then you may have a great hope of overthrowing Wen Fengfeng. ”
Yang Mingjian said: "Okay! If I can convince her, you can also join us." “
Elder Du smiled and said, "You can convince her first." “
Yang Mingjian said, "Elder Du, I don't know where Elder Bao is?"
Elder Du said: "Where there are many people, she is naturally there. ”
If you want to say where is the most lively in Yangzhou City, people who are familiar with Yangzhou City know where the most lively place is.
Yang Mingjian was born in Yangzhou City and grew up in Yangzhou City, so he naturally knows the place of Baihualou.
