Cao Lei grabbed Chen Ping's arm with a firm look on his face.
"Kowloon Hall...the brothers of Kowloon Hall are the ones I can't let go of the most!"
It was his life's work, but now there is no successor in the hall.
Chen Ping was stunned by this request, "Leave it to me? That's not possible, there are so many brothers in Jiulong Hall."
I am just an outsider, how can I take over the affairs of the church?
"You, don't refuse, I know what you are worried about."
Cao Lei tried his best to look at the several hall masters, and not surprisingly, he saw shocked faces.
Seeing this situation, his hoarse tone instantly became stern, as if he was flashing back light, and his momentum was astonishing.
"Third brother, you are a rough guy. If you are asked to deliver goods... maybe it will work. If you are asked to lead the brothers, tell yourself, can you do it?"
The third hall master has always been the most loyal and upright. When the boss asked this question, of course he knew what it meant, and immediately replied loudly: "No need to say more, boss, who in my hall is where they are today without relying on you? You
Just give the order, and whoever dares to refute it will definitely not be able to spare him with the knife of Lao San!"
Without the second hall master, the third hall master should have been the candidate to succeed the Kowloon Hall.
Now that even he has given up his position so resolutely, the other hall masters naturally have nothing to say.
"The third child is right, we all obey the hall master's orders!"
Cao Lei laughed with satisfaction, then looked at Chen Ping, "You heard it too, these people will listen to you."
Chen Ping, however, still looked shocked and did not dare to respond.
"Master, I'm just a scholar. I don't have the power to tie a chicken. There are many heroes in the hall. Why do you have to leave it to me?"
"No...only you are the most suitable." Cao Lei stared at him closely, "You and I have a common enemy!"
As soon as these words came out, Chen Ping was speechless.
Cao Lei was hoarse and his eyes were filled with tears.
"I was a hero in the first half of my life, but in the second half I was just a reckless man! Even if my own son got into such a... big disaster, I didn't know anything about it! If it happens in the future,
These brothers only know how to act recklessly and have no power behind them... Who can help them survive the disaster?"
"Boss!" The third hall master was shocked.
The fourth and fifth children couldn't help but burst into tears, "Boss, don't worry about us."
Cao Lei turned a deaf ear to their words and just continued speaking with difficulty.
"Boy Chen Ping, you...you know that there is a mastermind behind my son's death! I will not be willing to die for this matter!"
If the culprit cannot be caught, Cao Lei will not be able to rest in peace.
There is so much iron ore, where is it used?
If these goods are really secretly sold to the enemy and used to massacre our soldiers on the northern battlefield, then how will Jiulongtang... gain a reputation in the future?
How can I be worthy of my ancestors!
"Chen Ping, I beg you. Kowloon Hall... needs someone to guard it! You are the most suitable candidate."
Chen Ping was firmly locked in place by those hot eyes, but he was really not qualified for such an important task.
"Master, don't worry. I will never ignore Jiulong Hall. However, this position of hall master... I'm sorry, I really can't accept it."
Cao Lei's expression turned cold, his lips trembled, and he was speechless.
"Chen Ping!" The third hall master said anxiously, "Just agree, if anyone disobeys you in the future, I will serve you with my fist!"
"That's not what I meant. What I meant was that there is a more suitable candidate than me."
Seeing that they had misunderstood, Chen Ping quickly explained.
He looked at Cao Lei and said seriously: "This person also has a deep hatred for the people behind Ling Shu. He comes from a martial arts background, is full of good kung fu, is righteous, and is brave and resourceful!"
Cao Lei couldn't figure out who Chen Ping was referring to, so he asked: "Who?"
"Zhao Jin!" Chen Ping said firmly and solemnly: "Palace Master Cao, it was Zhao Jin who saved us this time."
Cao Lei was stunned and suddenly murmured: "Zhao Jin, Zhao Jin...yes, Zhao Jin!"
"Hurry up and invite Zhao Jin in!" Chen Ping immediately said to the Third Hall Master.
The third hall master didn't know Zhao Jin's identity, so he was stunned and asked: "Who is Zhao Jin?"
"That's Xue Ren." Chen Ping looked at them, "This matter must not be leaked to others again."
"That's him," Cao Lei urged, panting, "invite him in quickly, quickly!"
The third hall master suddenly realized it. Although he was surprised, he didn't ask any more questions.
Zhao Jin had competed with them before and convinced them that they were indeed more suitable for Jianghu gangs than Chen Ping, a scholar.
"Okay, I'll go right away!" The third hall master nodded and stood up quickly.
Chen Ping breathed a sigh of relief, held Cao Lei's hand and said.
"Master, don't blame me for refusing. I am determined to take the imperial examination because I want to enter the officialdom and seek big things."
Cao Lei's mind was still clear and he quickly understood the meaning of Chen Ping's words.
Their ultimate enemy is not in the world, but in the court.
The conflict between Jiulongtang and Lingshu is no longer a secret. If Chen Ping is too involved with them, he may only do half the result with twice the result in investigating the case in the future.
Chen Ping is indeed not the most suitable candidate, and Jiulongtang will become an obstacle to him if he is not careful.
Soon, Zhao Jin was invited in.
Before Cao Lei could speak, the third hall master had already conveyed to him what everyone had just said.
Zhao Jin was frightened and subconsciously looked at Chen Ping.
"Brother Zhao," Chen Ping nodded, "You are the most suitable person to do this."
"Zhao Jin..." Cao Lei stretched out his hand tremblingly, "I know that maintaining Jiulong Hall is time-consuming and laborious, but you are the only one."
Seeing that the hero was late, Zhao Jin felt deeply powerless and nodded immediately.
"Master, don't worry, as long as this junior is alive, Kowloon Hall will never leave!"
"Okay, okay!"
Cao Lei cried with joy and finally let go of the heavy stone in his heart.
This forced breath quickly dissipated the moment Zhao Jin nodded.
"In my life, I have traveled all over the world... I am proud of myself, but I am deceived by villains... I hate it, I hate it!"
He stared at the beam, his voice getting weaker and weaker.
After a wailing cry, there is only a lingering hatred and unwillingness left in my heart!
Chen Ping's heart felt like it was sinking into an abyss, and he quickly reached out to feel his pulse, but it was no longer beating.
The room suddenly became quiet, and the third hall master looked at the old man leaving on the bed and let out a cry of sorrow.
"Boss!!"
Inside the medical center, the whole room was wailing.
It wasn't until it was getting dark that the hall masters and their gangs carried Cao Lei's body back to Liujiazhuang.
Chen Ping was supported by He Qingxuan and froze at the door of the hospital, staring until he could no longer see his figure.
"Let's go," He Qingxuan couldn't bear to say, "Let's go back home first."
Butler He's housekeeper had already prepared the room, and Chen Tianling even brought the best doctor in the city here.
As soon as Chen Ping showed up, I couldn't wait to check him again. Only after confirming that everything was fine did I feel relieved.
After Chen Ping took a few bites of food, his spirits relaxed and he told everyone about what happened in the past few days.
"In this case, Ling Shu was forced to panic this time, so he jumped over the wall in a hurry."
Thinking that Chen Ping almost died at the hands of Ling Shu, Ye Chongwen was frightened for a while.
He Qingxuan also had cold palms, "If it weren't for Mr. Tang, I'm afraid Brother Zhao would be a step slower this time!"
"God has eyes," Ye Chongwen asked Chen Ping, "but what did Ling Shu mean by what he said before he died?"
Chen Ping shook his head, "According to what he meant, Qi Hongming is the person he is monitoring, not his superior."
"Qi Hongming was already the prefect of a state at that time, and now he is the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, but he can't compare to a Lingshu?"
He Qingxuan glanced at several people subconsciously, feeling a bit chilly in his heart.
Who is the person behind Ling Shu?
"No matter what, this matter is probably more complicated than we imagined!"
Cao Lei's death made Chen Ping aware of an unprecedented crisis.
