Chapter 67 First Meeting
In the crowded Tiger Martial Arts Hall during the day, ten incense masters and twenty red sticks were sitting on the floor on the left, right and inside.
Beicheng is on the left.
East (city) is on the right.
The owner of the incense is included.
The red stick is outside.
Outside the lobby, nearly a hundred straw sandals who came with them gathered together in twos and threes to connect with each other, and burst into laughter that was either lewd or crude.
In the lobby, the red sticks in the outer circle were also secretly whispering to each other. From time to time, their eyes glanced at the empty Crouching Tiger directly above, and Chen Qiu, who was kneeling at the top of the North City on the left with his eyes closed... They were all guessing.
What kind of medicine is being sold in this gourd?
The incense masters sitting in the inner circle were much calmer. From the time when the Tiger Hall was first established, they knew that Chen Qiuzhi was the deputy hall master and that the real master of the Tiger Hall was someone else.
Looking at today's formation, it is obvious that the real leader of the Tiger Hall is about to show up!
It just so happened that they had long wanted to meet this strong man.
To be honest, now they need people under their control and territory, and after experiencing so many things from the completion to the development of Tiger Hall, they are no longer the same people who were scared to death by Zhao Si with a knife.
He is so weak that he can only kneel down and beg for mercy!
What really kept them from having second thoughts was this strong man who had never shown up, but controlled the Tiger Hall from a distance to build the current family fortune!
They are the executors, and almost all decisions made by Tiger Hall must pass through their hands before they can be implemented.
Therefore, among the four to five hundred men in the Tiger Hall, they are the ones who know best how clever the strongman's methods are!
That kind of shocking method, which seemed to be unrelated, but ended up being strung together into a big net that covered half of Chen County. Every time they thought about it, they felt the quality of the hair on their bodies.
I always feel that around me, there are a few pairs of squinting eyes, hiding in the dark and staring at me sadly...
"Dong dong dong."
Suddenly, a burst of neat and steady footsteps rushed in from outside the gate.
Many incense owners in the hall turned their heads and looked around, and saw two rows of tall people, wearing black attire, with long and narrow black sheath swords at their waists, and burly figures wearing painted masks on their heads.
A man in white with a high crown and a black iron mask rushed into the hall.
It can be seen that the man in white is not very tall...it can even be said to be a little short.
But while walking, his strides were steady and his eyes were not squinting, as if the hundreds of straw sandals outside the door and the thirty incense masters and red sticks were nothing!
It is difficult to describe something like magnanimity in words.
If you only look at yourself, it will be difficult for your companions of the same class as yourself to understand that kind of thing.
But one day, when a truly magnanimous person appears in front of you, with just one glance, you will know that he is different from you!
For example, at this moment, many incense owners and red sticks felt dry when they looked at the man in white who was surrounded by many people in black clothes and leisurely playing with a short black animal-patterned stick in his hand.
Feeling of dryness!
The two rows of men in black clothes arrived very quickly. Before many incense owners and red sticks could react, the two men in black clothes who came to the end had already closed the door with a "bang".
The sudden sound of the door closing echoed in the empty hall, frightening the many incense owners and red sticks in the hall.
But the man in white didn't look back, he walked straight to the crouching tiger directly above him and sat down on his knees upright.
Two rows of Xuan people lined up on both sides of him, standing in silence with their swords pressed.
"Good evening everyone!"
The man in white opened his mouth, but his voice was not as cool and domineering as the incense owners imagined. Instead, it was indescribably soft and soothing, as if he really was a scholarly and elegant young man from a scholarly family speaking to them.
greet.
But which innocent young master from a white family would lead so many people back into the Tiger Martial Arts School at this time?
While many incense owners and red sticks were still stunned, Chen Qiu, who was kneeling at the top of the table on the left, suddenly stood up, faced the man in white and clasped his palm to the end: "Greetings to the Hall Master!"
Many incense owners and red sticks suddenly woke up from a dream, hurriedly stood up and bowed with their palms pressed: "Greetings to the Hall Master!"
In an instant, all the red sticks in the hall were shocked, okay?
What, this is the hall master?
Hall Master Chen is just a fake?
However, none of the many incense owners said a word. No matter how many questions they had in their minds, how could they dare to say anything? They could only hold it in!
The man in white played with the faucet stick. After a few breaths, he said calmly: "Very good, get up!"
"Thank you, Hall Master!"
All the incense masters, Hong Guan, stood up together and secretly glanced at Chen Qiu.
I saw him standing respectfully with his hands down, showing no sign of sitting down.
They quickly pulled back their buttocks that were about to fall down, followed Chen Qiu's example, and stood with their hands down respectfully.
"I heard that there are some heroes in our Tiger Hall, and I want to get to know them."
The man in white played with the faucet stick for a moment, and then slowly glanced at the red sticks of many incense masters in the hall: "Wang Jin, Liu Ba, Zhou Jia, Chen An... come out and let me have a look."
He spoke very slowly, pausing for a few breaths every time he read someone.
And the people whose names he read out all felt an inexplicable chill in their hearts, as if something bad was about to happen.
After he finished reciting, a few people still wanted to pretend to be reckless, but seeing that everyone behind their actions was looking at them, they could only go out in line, clasped their palms and bowed: "The villain Wang Jin (Liu Ba, Zhou)
A, Chen An), pay a visit to the hall master."
The man in white took out a neatly folded piece of cloth from his arms and threw it at Chen Qiu's feet.
Chen Qiu picked up the cloth in confusion and glanced at the man in white without knowing why.
The man in white said one word calmly: "Nian!"
Chen Qiu clasped his hands: "Here!"
He opened the cloth and took a closer look, and his expression suddenly darkened. He turned back to look at the four people standing in the hall, with a hint of worry in his eyes: "On May 24th, Liu Ba, a red stick in Xiangtang, Bei City, kidnapped his wife and had sex with him.
Music, causing people to become disabled; on May 29th, Wang Jin, the incense owner of Changlefang, colluded with the old bustard of Jiyuan, and trafficked people's wives and daughters..."
"Plop."
Every time he thought of someone, the person standing in the hall would kneel to the ground in panic.
After Chen Qiu finished reciting, the four of them kowtowed in unison and said, "I know my mistake. Master, please spare my life."
Chen Qiu put away the cloth and walked quickly in front of the four people. He also bowed his head to the man in white above him and said: "Master, please remember that the four of them have done their best in their work and have made a small contribution to our Tiger Hall."
For my sake, I will bypass them this time. I will turn around and strictly follow the rules of the hall, and will never do anything like this that tarnishes the reputation of the hall."
"oh?"
The man in white lightly placed his palm on the Crouching Tiger's head, and said in a soft and gentle tone that seemed to contain a smile: "What Deputy Hall Master Chen means is that before today, the rules of our Tiger Hall were just decorations?
"
As soon as he finished speaking, the rat-faced man in black clothes standing next to him rushed out, and the sharp light of the sword instantly illuminated the eyes of everyone in the hall.
"Subordinate..."
Before Chen Qiu could even express his plea for mercy, he felt a gust of wind blowing past him, and his heart suddenly became cold. He hurriedly turned to look at the four people kneeling behind him, and saw that their faces were frightened, and there was a "pop" in their throats.
Bleeding spurts out.
Even he, who was sure that the man in white would not attack him, was so frightened by this scene that his heart went cold and his scalp went numb.
Not to mention the rest of the incense sticks?
Suddenly, all the incense masters and red sticks in the hall lowered their heads deeply, not even daring to breathe out.
"Bang."
The bodies of the four people fell heavily to the ground, and they could not even utter a cry of pain... The knife just cut not only his throat, but the inner energy that entered their bodies along the blade had already shattered their bodies in an instant.
All the vitality!
The rat-faced man in black clothes slowly put away his sword, then strode back to the top and stood still while holding the sword.
"When we first met, everyone was shocked."
The man in white spoke again, with a clear and calm voice, as if nothing had happened: "Let me introduce myself first. I am the leader of the Qinglong Gang. You can call me Big Dragon Head. As for these twelve people, they are me.
The twelve envoys of the Qinglong Gang are responsible for punishing members of the gang who violate the gang rules. They all have the power to deal with it from the deputy hall leader on down!"
Chen Qiu came to his senses immediately, clasped his hands again and said: "I have paid homage to the great dragon head and met the twelve envoys!"
The master of all the incense sticks also quickly bowed his head to the end: "I have seen the big dragon head, and I have seen the twelve envoys!"
The man in white smiled and said: "Everyone, please stand up and take a seat!"
Somehow, his tone didn't change much, but everyone in the hall felt relieved.
Chen Qiu took the lead and stood up and took his seat. Many incense owners and Hong Guan also stood up and took their seats.
"Okay, the person who did something wrong has been punished."
The man in white played with the faucet stick and chuckled: "Now, we should commend the brother who did the right thing... Beicheng Chen Niu!"
A tall and proud man stood up, walked from the back to the hall, faced upwards and bowed his head to the bottom: "The villain is here!"
Man in white: "Chen Niu, for one great merit and three minor merits, I will be promoted to the incense master of Changlefang Incense Hall from now on!"
The proud man was overjoyed when he heard this, and bowed again: "Thank you, Da Longtou, for your guidance. I will repay Da Longtou for his kindness."
The man in white said softly in a soft tone: "Master, you are already the master of incense. You are no longer a villain. You should be called a subordinate. You must do things well in the future and your martial arts must not fall behind. Do you understand?"
The proud man felt his heart heat up and said loudly: "Here, even if my subordinates die, I will never let the big dragon head down!"
Chapter completed!
