Volume 1: Swan Goose Chapter 7: Pretty Girl in Fresh Clothes and Angry Horse (3)
"Hey! Where are the people inside? Your young gang leader is here, why is no one coming out to greet him?"
He stepped through the door in one step, and the roar of the mountain and the tsunami made people inside and outside the door look at him. People in the courtyard gathered together to drink, punch, and gamble. When they first saw Totuo, they thought it was Zhong Kui who came to the world, and they were so scared.
Somewhat at a loss.
"Since you are all in the courtyard, why don't you come out and open the door?"
Toto picked up the mace and glared at everyone, with words not to be trifled written all over his body.
Seeing that the person who came was a human and not a ghost, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and put on fierce faces. They rolled up their sleeves and yelled: "Where did you come from? How dare you act like a wild ghost here? Do you know?"
Don’t know where this place is?”
"Of course I know, this is a caravan!" Before Toto could answer, a crisp and majestic voice came from outside the door.
As soon as he finished speaking, a red figure walked gracefully through the door. Lu Ning stood in front of everyone with his hands behind his back and an expressionless face. He took out a golden sign from his waist, placed it in front of everyone, and asked in a cold voice:
"Let me ask this time! Do you recognize this brand?"
Everyone looked at each other and said reluctantly: "Of course I recognize it, this is the old gang leader's badge!"
A pair of wonderful eyes swept over everyone's faces, and Lu Ning asked seriously: "Since you all recognize this thing, why don't you see anyone saluting? Does it mean that the old gang leader is not here, so you don't take this brand seriously? Or do you all?
Do you want to quit the caravan and start your own business?"
Everyone exchanged glances with each other, feeling resentful in their hearts: There are about a hundred people in the Shengjing branch, and everyone can be named by their names in the world. If the old gang leader wants to choose a leader, he can choose among these people.
Even if they don't choose from them, they shouldn't send such a young girl to lead these men. Wouldn't it be a joke to the people in the world?
"I've met the young gang leader!" A man walked out of the crowd and saluted her respectfully.
Lu Ning looked at the man in front of him. He was yellow and thin, with a poor face. A scar that ran from his eyebrow bone to the base of his ear was very eye-catching, ugly and scary.
"May I ask my brother what's your last name?" Lu Ning smiled and returned the gesture with a cupped fist.
"Hei Si." The man lowered his eyes, not daring to look directly at her face.
"Brother Ping, um, very good." Lu Ning put away the sign, turned to Mr. Murong and ordered: "Sir, please lead some people to pull out the gatekeepers and give them ten whips each. If you dare to be lazy again in the future,
, the punishment will be doubled! The rest of the people will gather in the meeting hall immediately. If anyone is late, don’t blame Mr. Whip!"
After saying that, she tossed her wind robe, turned around and strode towards the main hall.
The main meeting hall is at the second entrance, connecting two long corridors and a square courtyard. On weekdays, only a few elders can sit in the hall, and the rest of the brothers sit in the courtyard with matzas to listen to the lectures.
.
Entering the main hall, Lu Ning walked straight to the main seat in the middle, flicked his wind robe, turned around and sat down. Toto stood majestically on her right side, carrying a mace.
Soon, the rest of the people came in one after another. When a few elders entered the hall, everyone saluted the new young gang leader with clasped fists.
Lu Ning raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and then waved his beautiful hand. The group of people stood up one after another, but still lowered their eyes. Although everyone was dissatisfied, no one dared to look at this young gang leader who was charming and a bit stern.
Just as she was about to speak, there were sudden moans of pain coming from outside the door, as well as the crackling sound of the whip falling on the flesh. Everyone who heard it trembled in their hearts, and they all understood that this was the young gang leader giving them power.
Putting away his smile, Lu Ning ordered simply and neatly: "Go and kidnap that maniac who caused trouble in the tavern and killed people!"
After a moment, a tall and strong man who was tied up was pushed into the hall. Toto strode behind him and kicked his leg violently. The man staggered and knelt down in front of Lu Ning.
Lu Ning didn't say anything, just looked at this person carefully, thinking: This person doesn't look like a vicious person, how could he do such a cruel thing?
Before she could ask, a thin old man with white hair and white beard came forward and said: "Young Gang Leader, this person is Wang Banshan who caused trouble after drinking in Xiaoxiang Villa and accidentally injured people. However, King Yi
His Highness said that he did not do this deliberately, so he just gave him a slight punishment and released him."
Lu Ning smiled faintly, cupped his fists and asked, "Old man, who are you?"
The old man smiled slightly, raised his head and replied: "I am the chief elder of the Shengjing branch of the caravan, Feng Baonan!"
When he spoke, his face was full of energy and his voice was full of energy. It was impossible to tell that he was an old man over seventy years old. The other brothers in the gang looked at him with respect.
"Elder Feng, I came out in a hurry and don't know the cause and effect of this matter. I have to trouble you to explain it in detail!" Facing the respected senior, Lu Ning also spoke much softer.
Elder Feng looked at her contemptuously and recounted what happened: Wang Banshan went to the Xiaoxiang Villa to have a drink, but was laughed at by the singer because he didn't bring enough silver. He was already drunk, so he pushed him out in shame and anger.
He hit the singer, who happened to hit a stone pillar and died on the spot. Without saying anything, the proprietress of Xiaoxiang Villa ordered the thugs to tie him up and hand him over to King Yi for disposal. King Yi learned that
He was from the caravan, and he didn't do it on purpose, so he was given a few scoldings and let him go.
After Lu Ning heard this, he stared at Wang Banshan and said seriously: "Although you didn't do this intentionally, manslaughter is still killing! In addition, you caused trouble while drunk and broke the rules of the caravan. Wang Banshan, you know your mistake.
?"
Wang Banshan was tied up so he couldn't move, but he held his neck and said proudly: "I'm right! It was that little bitch who said the evil words first! If I didn't take action, would I still let the bitch bully me?
?That would be a disgrace to the caravan!"
Hearing this, the other brothers nodded in agreement.
Lu Ning pondered for a moment, slowly stood up from his seat, walked towards the yard and said: "Shi Ke cannot be killed. I know that each of you are tough guys who would rather bleed than bow your head, but there are no rules.
Although we are people in the world, we are in business, and we value peace. In daily life, the most taboo thing is to cause trouble. You are also an old man. You don’t understand these rules, but you still say it is correct!"
"Hmph!" Wang Banshan turned his head and said angrily: "If you are wrong, you are wrong! Whatever you do, I will not bow to them!"
Seeing that his attitude was always tough, Lu Ning was not annoyed. He only said thoughtfully: "According to the gang rules, you should have been executed! But thinking that you made an unintentional mistake, I will give you a lighter sentence. So, I will beat you four times."
Ten horse whips will drive you out of the caravan. From now on, you can no longer consider yourself a member of the caravan!"
Wang Banshan turned his face away from her, looking as if he was looking forward to death.
"Young Gang Leader, you are making a fuss out of a molehill!" Elder Feng suddenly stood up slowly and said righteously: "Wang Banshan killed by mistake while drunk, not intentionally! Even the prince did not criticize him harshly, but he was so serious as one of his own
Then he would be unfair!"
"Oh?" Lu Ning'e raised her eyebrows and asked with a smile: "What does Elder Yifeng mean? How should we deal with this matter?"
Elder Feng twisted his beard and smiled, and said proudly: "I think we should write this down first and give him ten slaps as a warning! If he dares to do it again next time, he will not be leniently punished!"
After hearing what he said, Lu Ning's face suddenly darkened, and he asked: "According to Elder Feng's intention, just because he made an unintentional mistake, we will protect him in this way. In the future, if the brothers in the gang make mistakes, will it only be an unintentional one?"
We must cover up our losses to the end? If things go on like this, how can our caravan still have the dignity to stay in the world?"
Elder Feng snorted and said disdainfully: "The young gang leader said this, it is a bit unreasonable! Gang rules are dead, people are alive! If we treat every brother and act according to the rules, we will not consider the brother's rights at all.
Difficulties. If anyone dares to join the caravan if this continues, won’t we soon be disbanded?"
When Lu Ning heard what he said, he knew that he was deliberately making things difficult for him, but he was not in a hurry to blame him and just said calmly:
"Elder Feng, the caravan has been doing serious business since the old gang leader founded it. It is precisely because of everyone's hard work and hard work that today the brothers have no worries about food and clothing, and a stable and peaceful life. These are all in conjunction with the strict gang leader.
Rules cannot be separated! If I handle this matter hastily when I first take office today, it will not only break the gang rules, but also make the brothers more and more unruly. If the matter spreads, we will inevitably be despised in the world in the future.
!”
The words were sonorous, powerful and impactful, and the brother underneath them felt a little ashamed on their faces.
Elder Feng narrowed his eyes and re-examined the girl in front of him. He suddenly realized that this girl was not a kind person, but that he had underestimated his enemy. Unwilling to be overpowered by a female doll, he immediately argued:
"What the young gang leader said is wrong! In the past, the old gang leader would always ask for everyone's opinions before dealing with his brothers. The young gang leader kept saying that he would uphold the gang rules of the old gang leader. But now it seems that the young gang leader ignores the opinions of the brothers and insists on doing so.
Do it with determination!"
Lu Ning walked slowly to the main seat and sat down, and said slowly: "Since the old gang leader has appointed me to be the young gang leader, I can still be the leader." After saying that, she picked up the teacup next to her and said softly.
took a sip.
Seeing her posture, several elders quickly exchanged glances, and Elder Feng took the lead and said: "I'm afraid it's not because King Yi is behind the Xiaoxiang Villa, so the young gang leader doesn't dare to offend the powerful, so he'll take action on his own brother!"
Lu Ning put down the tea cup and said calmly: "It's still the same sentence - peace is the most important thing! Behind the villa are powerful people, but the singer who was beaten to death was born in a poor family. I don't want to bully the people.
I don’t want to offend the powerful. I think everyone here has this idea.”
The brothers below all lowered their heads, and no one could refute this.
"Besides." Before Elder Feng could speak, Lu Ning glanced at everyone with a faint look and continued to say: "The Eastern Capital of Shengjing is no different from other places. When working under the emperor's feet, we must be careful in everything! Although we have some problems in the world,
Even though he has a false reputation, he cannot compete with the power of the imperial court. If the brothers here kill themselves because of their impulsiveness, how miserable would they be if they were orphans and widows at home?"
Putting down the majesty of the talent, he relaxed his tone and said a few plain words, which moved everyone a little.
When Elder Feng saw that she was not good enough, he said angrily: "In terms of qualifications, I, Feng Baonan, am the veteran of the gang. Even the old gang leader has to give some respect to what I say. Now I want to protect King Banshan, but the young gang leader is stubborn.
, then why not just report it to the old gang leader and let him comment!"
Lu Ning understands that his arrival has blocked his promotion path, so he will always oppose him and use his qualifications to suppress himself. What he lacks most is his qualifications. If he continues to argue with him, he will surely fall.
If you are at a disadvantage, then no one will listen to what you say in the future.
"As the young gang leader, I can only act according to the rules. If Elder Feng insists on breaking the gang rules, although I feel sorry for him, I can only deal with you and Wang Banshan in accordance with the gang rules."
Although she looked at Feng Baonan with a smile on his face, there was a majesty in his tone that could not be underestimated. This chapter has been completed!
