Chapter 287: True and False Dragon Staff 2
Qi Yinghang looked at him and smiled and said, "Oh, Deputy Gang Master Pang, do you have any questions about Dragon Staff?"
Pang Tongxun bowed to Qi Yinghang and said sincerely: "I dare not, but this dragon stick is a holy object left by the ancestors. Pang has always admired the ancestor's wind and wanted to touch it. It has a little bit of spiritual energy from the ancestors. I wonder if the gang leader can agree."
Listening to Pang Tongxun's words, Yin Qiguo, who was originally frustrated and embarrassed, flashed his eyes and immediately echoed: "As the deputy leader of the Wanhong Gang, Pang Tongxun is of course qualified to touch the holy objects and pursue his ancestors, and the Longtou Master, I don't think you will refuse."
Seeing the two of them singing and joining each other, Zhang Haotian was immediately in a state of mind. Behind Yin Qiguo, the person standing was probably the deputy gang leader. He stood so obviously that he still had questions about the Dragon Staff, and he was clearly going to offend Qi Yinghang. There was only one possibility that this person dared to do this, that is, they did have some information about the Dragon Staff and determined that Qi Yinghang was fake.
Qi Yinghang was silent for a while. After a while, he waved his hand and said, "Huang Biao, if they want to see it, let's show it to them."
Huang Biao stared at Yin Qiguo and Pang Tongxun fiercely, with an angry look on his face, but he still stopped and walked to Pang Tongxun.
Pang Tongxun seemed to really want to touch the holy object, with a solemn face, and she uncovered the red cloth covering the dragon staff. According to the rules, only the dragon head and the closest sword guarding master could hold the dragon staff. He gently stroked it, but his eyes stared at it.
After a while, Huang Biao shouted: "Deputy Gang Master Pang, it's almost done. I'm going to take it to worship it."
Pang Tongxun nodded, and was about to retract his hand. However, at this moment, he seemed to accidentally press the edge of the wooden table. The wooden table suddenly slanted, and the dragon stick placed on it was about to fall down.
Seeing this, Huang Biao's face changed. He let go of the wooden table with one hand and was about to catch the dragon stick.
However, Pang Tongxun had already taken one step ahead of him and held the handle of the dragon staff.
Huang Biao immediately shouted: "Pang Tongxun, you are so brave. You dare to hold a dragon stick, but you won't bring it."
Pang Tongxun took the dragon stick and did not go to see him. Instead, he stared at Qi Yinghang, with a strange smile on his face and said, "I accidentally knocked over the wooden case just now. Pang was eager to protect the treasure and took the holy object. Please forgive me, Mr. Longtou."
Qi Yinghang was also staring at him coldly, and then suddenly sighed: "Pang Tongxun, I didn't expect it was you. You have been deliberately waiting until today and say whatever you should say."
Pang Tongxun's face still had a smile and said, "How dare Mr. Pang have any deliberate things? But Mr. Longtou, the dragon stick in my hand seems a little light, I don't know if it's empty inside."
Listening to Pang Tongxun's words, Yin Qiguo, who was standing next to him, immediately took the dragon stick, and just weighed it in his hand, and said, "Yes, when the old gang leader was alive, he received the answer. I had the honor to have taken the dragon stick once, but it was not so light. This dragon stick must be fake."
Huang Biao shouted, "You two fart, who said that this dragon stick is fake?"
Seeing that things had changed so much, everyone's eyes stared at Qi Yinghang.
Qi Yinghang sat upright in the chair, silent for a while, suddenly waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Huang Biao, you go back, I have something to say to everyone."
Huang Biao looked helpless on his face and walked to his side. Pang Tongxun and Yin Qiguo looked at each other and returned to their seats.
Qi Yinghang did not go to see them, but looked around the hall and looked at his uncles, and then said, "Deputy Gang Leader Pang and Uncle Yin were not wrong. This dragon stick is indeed fake. It is made of a special steel material, and the middle is empty, so it can still not burn when it encounters fire and water. The real dragon stick has been lost half a year ago."
As soon as these words came out, there was a commotion in the hall, and everyone started to whisper and whisper.
When Zhang Haotian saw that Pang Tongxun and Yin Qiguo were very sure of it, he knew that the dragon rod was most likely to be problematic, and there was no doubt that it was related to Pang Tongxun and Yin Qiguo. Their purpose was not to be guessed, just to force the palace and let Qi Yinghang hand over the rights in his hands. This matter must have been brewing for a long time. Gu Fangzhong's death is very likely to be related to them.
Yin Qiguo immediately shouted: "Qi Yinghang, you are so brave. Not only do you lose this sacred object, but you even dare to imitate and deceive the brothers in the gang. With these two, you are not worthy of being the leader again."
He called Qi Yinghang his name directly, so he naturally had already decided to break up.
Qi Yinghang's face was still calm and said, "There are many strange things about the loss of the holy relics this time. Someone must have intentionally split and destroy the Wanhong Gang. I imitated the dragon stick, and I also think about the stability of the gang. It can be said that I have a clear conscience in my heart. Deputy Gang Leader Pang, Mr. Yin, you two are so sure that the dragon stick is fake. It is really Jin Qing's fire eyes. It makes people admire you. I don't know where you got the news that the dragon stick has been lost. By the way, you must know where the real dragon stick is, right?"
Hearing this, Zhang Haotian was very impressed. Qi Yinghang's few words put everyone's attention on Pang Yin and the others. The old men here were all smart people. Of course, it could be seen that Pang Tongxun and Yin Qiguo had many doubts about the Dragon Staff. We must think about the inside story of this matter.
Pang Tongxun began to remain silent again, but Yin Qiguo immediately said: "Qi Yinghang, don't swear by others. It is your responsibility to lose the dragon stick. Don't pull it to others. Over the years, you have no virtue and incompetence. The Wanhong Gang has become increasingly declining in your hands. As an alliance certificate, I have been tolerating you for a long time, but I didn't expect you to lose holy objects. I also pretended to deceive the uncles in the gang, without trust and righteousness, and violated the rules of the ancestors of the Wanhong Gang. I can't bear it anymore."
Qi Yinghang was not angry at all, but laughed: "Mr. Yin, you and I competed for the position of leading the way back then, and the old gang leader was finally in my place. You should bear it from that time. You said I was incompetent. I have no virtue and incompetence. Over the years, Wanhong Gang has become increasingly declining in my hands. I don't know where to start."
Yin Qiguo snorted and said, "Don't you know this? When the old gang leader handed over the Wanhong Gang to you, we could say that we had already unified the gangs in G Province. Who would dare to fart on us? G City is in our control. But now, you can see that the Sanlian Gang has swallowed half of our territory. If this continues, it won't take long before we will have no place in G City. You said, is this decline? What are your abilities?"
Qi Yinghang smiled and said, "Mr. Yin, I'm afraid you haven't mentioned some things. Since I took over the position for more than 20 years, the property of the gang has increased by more than fifty times, and the members of the gang have doubled."
Speaking of this, he paused and said, "As for the Sanlian Gang, they were originally a group of vicious people, and in the whole south, they are also the second largest force besides us. Sooner or later, our two gangs will have a decisive battle. However, due to the gang rules, we cannot develop in other provinces, which will suffer a great loss. So I decided to retreat to advance, let the Sanlian Gang trap all their strength step by step, so that they have no extra strength to develop rapidly in the southern provinces, thus to us.
A siege is formed, and City G is our most solid base. Whether it is its relationship with the government or the support level of the gang members, it is not as good as the Sanlian Gang. As long as their strength is completely dispersed, it is difficult to deal with the beginning and end. We can't do much effort to defeat them in full or even completely eliminate the Sanlian Gang. If it weren't for the police's anti-gang operation, I would have ordered a move long ago. Such a strategy would definitely be much better than fighting with the Sanlian Gang and fighting the lives of my brothers. I asked myself that I did not do anything wrong."
Zhang Haotian has guessed that Qi Yinghang's strategy of retreating as an advancement. After the battle between Jinzi Village and Shuangjing Village, he deeply felt that, in addition to the most core elite members, the loyalty of most ordinary gang members of the Sanlian Gang was really poor. Once they encountered a strong attack, they would be defeated. As Qi Yinghang said, it is not difficult to regain all the territory to successfully counterattack. Yin Qiguo's accusations were really unreasonable.
However, I didn't expect that Yin Qiguo's face was getting thicker and thicker, and he actually sneered: "Qi Yinghang, the increase in the assets of the gang over the years is because the government's policy on G Province has changed. Anyone will do better than you. However, his own property is carefully managed and grows very quickly. I can't long before I want it, I will become the richest man in G Province."
After saying this, he said, "And what kind of bullshit you are using retreat as a way to advance? Who knows what you are thinking? This is just an excuse for your incompetence."
Qi Yinghang immediately laughed and said, "Mr. Yin, with your age and status, do you dare not be ridiculed by others to say such words?"
Yin Qiguo did not tell him about this anymore, but said loudly: "The ancestors have something to say, the dragon stick is lost, the dragon head shakes, Qi Yinghang, since your dragon stick is lost, the position of the Wanhong Gang's dragon head will be re-selected. Now all the uncles have gathered together, which is an opportunity to re-select the dragon head."
Qi Yinghang stared at him and nodded slowly and said, "According to the rules, this kind of thing should be chaired by Mr. Union Zheng. Uncle Yin, you must have known what to do. Let's start. If everyone thinks that I, Yinghang, are incompetent and willing to choose a new leader, then I have nothing to say."
Yin Qiguo immediately said: "Okay, according to the old rules, raise your arms to vote, the deputy gang leader and the alliance certificate are five votes, each hall leader has four votes, the sages have three votes, Huanhou has two votes, the red flag, red, and flower arrangements have one vote. The one with the most votes wins."
As soon as this was said, he followed: "Since it is a discussion to change the leader, it is not possible to have no candidates. But now there is a ready-made one, that is, Deputy Gang Leader Pang. I believe everyone understands his loyalty to his brothers and his ability to do things. In addition, if there is a brother who thinks there is a suitable person to recommend, you can also propose it and everyone vote together."
Today's events are clearly a battle between Qi Yinghang and Pang Tongxun. Who would dare to join in? There is a silence in the hall at the moment.
Of course, Yin Qiguo expected this and nodded and said, "Okay, then everyone is ready to vote and can abstain."
Seeing this silently, Zhang Haotian felt ominous in his heart. With the intelligence and experience of Yin Qiguo and Pang Tongxun, he would definitely not do anything he was not sure about. In other words, if he voted later, Qi Yinghang would most likely be at a disadvantage, and his status would be out of control.
Qi Yinghang obviously thought of this, but his face was still as calm as usual, and he looked at Yin Qiguo and Pang Tongxun coldly.
At this moment, Yin Qiguo walked down the steps and asked the deacon disciple to carry a piece of wooden block, take a brush and ink, write down the names of Qi Yinghang and Pang Tongxun, and then shouted: "Dear masters, if you think Pang Tongxun is more competent in the leading position, please raise your hands."
With his voice, someone began to raise his hands in the hall. Pang Tongxun and Yin Qiguo were among them. Among the six masters, Liao Boquan, Zhuang Xuehai, and Jiang Fangzheng, raised his hands. Two of the left and right sages, Xie Yucai, the right sage who led Zhang Haotian into the gang, closed his lips and looked anxious, but did not raise his hands. A left sage, named An Shuting, next to him, raised his hands.
Below the hall, three of the eight major Huanhou raised their hands. The red flags sitting behind them were covered with red flowers and flowers. The old men naturally had to extend their arms, while Duanmu Li looked at these people with anger.
Yin Qiguo immediately called out a name and said a name. To see what level the person is, he marked the corresponding number of strokes on the wooden board, representing the number of votes. Finally, there were twenty "全" characters, zero three strokes, that is, one hundred and three votes.
Seeing this, Zhang Haotian sighed again. Among the Wanhong Gang, the most powerful ones are undoubtedly the six masters. Among the six masters, three are the most powerful ones, Liao Boquan, the head of the entire gang, who is responsible for the specific official duties of the entire gang, Qiu Guang, the head of the Guan Tang, who is responsible for the management of the entire gang, and Qiu Guang, who is responsible for the command of the elite gangs and organizes training. It is similar to Zhuang Xuehai, the head of the Ministry of War. Now, Liao Boquan, the highest-ranking in each hall and Zhuang Xuehai, who holds the elite gangs in the Wanhong Gang, have turned to Pang Tongxun, and Qi Yinghang is about to go.
Sure enough, when Yin Qiguo said Qi Yinghang's name and asked everyone to raise their hands, Guan Tangtang Lord Qiu Guang and Zheng Tangtang Lord Gongsun Jian raised their hands, and the remaining auditorium leader Song Rusheng still did not stretch his arms, so he naturally chose to abstain. The right sage uncle Xie Yucai stretched out his hand. Among the eight major Huanhou, in addition to the three people who raised their hands to support Pang Tongxun just now, Duanmu Li and the other two raised their hands, and the two Huanhou and their subordinates chose to silently abstain.
Zhang Haotian sneered in his heart. In fact, Yin Qiguo asked everyone to raise his hand to Pang Tongxun first, which was definitely unfair to Qi Yinghang. You should know that before the situation was not clear, some centrists must wait and see. When they saw that the old man who was going up the steps and half supported Pang Tongxun, the impact on these centrists can be imagined, and of course they would choose to abstain.
At this time, Yin Qiguo began to write the word "典" on the wooden board again, but the last count was only 81 votes, which was lower than Pang Tongxun's 103 votes.
Yin Qiguo loudly announced the votes of the two, and then looked at Qi Yinghang.
Qi Yinghang slowly looked around the people in the hall and suddenly sighed: "Since everyone thinks that Deputy Gangmao Pang is more suitable for the leader than me, okay, I will give this position to Xian, Mr. Yin, you can find a day to hold a new leader's position."
Hearing his words, a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties, with a strong figure and a cool and murderous look on the steps, and shouted: "Mr. Longtou, you must not. This matter is clearly stated. It is a conspiracy between the surname Pang and Yin. The loss of the dragon stick is probably related to them. The conspiracy of these villains must not be allowed to succeed."
The person who spoke was Gongsun Jian, the leader of Zhengtang Hall, Qiu Guang, the right sage wise man Xie Yucai, and all the uncles who supported Qi Yinghang just now all shouted and expressed dissatisfaction.
Yin Qiguo immediately glared at Gongsun Jian and said, "Gongsun Jian, don't slander people. What conspiracy? The dragon's rod is lost. The rule of shaking the dragon head is set first. Most of the old men voted for Deputy Gang Leader Pang, which proves that he is more virtuous and can convince everyone. Do you guys want to ruin the rules passed down by the gang leader first?"
Duanmu Li was Qi Yinghang's confidant. Seeing that he was forced to abdicate, he was of course anxious. He stood in the middle of the hall and shouted: "Of course the rules of the gang leader cannot be destroyed, but even though he knew there was a conspiracy, someone wanted to destroy the Wanhong Gang. Do we also have to abide by it?"
When Zhang Haotian saw Duanmu Li go out, he winked at Yu Guangzhong and others. Everyone walked out together. Zhang Haotian shouted: "Yes, there are too many doubts about the loss of Dragon Staff, and Mr. Gu's death is also very strange. These things need to be investigated to see if there are any traitors. Mr. Longtou, you can't agree to abdicate so early, please think twice."
When he said these words, Duanmu Li and others immediately agreed.
At this moment, a man named Tang Fengping, who was managing several cities in the eastern part of G Province, brought his subordinates to the hall and shouted loudly: "Uncle Yin is following the rules of the leader of the gang. Who dares not to obey it is to violate the ancestral teachings of the gang and should be treated as rebellious. The leader of the gang is not only capable, but also kind to his brothers. If he becomes the leader, he will definitely make the Wanhong Gang more prosperous."
Duanmu Li could no longer help it, and changed his elegant attitude in the company, and finally showed a sense of martial arts and lakes, saying, "Fuck, Tang Fengping, you are kind and righteous to your brothers. The surname Pang is kind and righteous to you alone. How much benefit does he promise to give you? Let you jump out and speak for him."
Tang Fengping was big and thick, and he knew he was a person without any education at first glance. Hearing Duanmu Li scolded him, he immediately started to curse and said, "Damn Duanmu Li, who in the gang knows that you are a lackey of Qi Yinghang, and he also transferred you to the fattest territory. Fuck, I, Tang Fengping, don't accept it. How about it, I threw away the dragon stick and wanted to coax us with fake things. Is such a person worthy of being the leader of the Wanhong Gang?"
This person dared to call Qi Yinghang his name without respect at all, so he naturally bet all treasures on Pang Tongxun's side and left no way out for himself.
Seeing Duanmu Li and Tang Fengping cursing each other and getting started, Zhang Haotian and others were naturally ready to fight. Except for the two who abstained, two of the other six Huanhou brought their subordinates to join in. For a moment, the hall was crowded with people, and the people on both sides looked at each other with their swords tense, and there was a possibility of fighting at any time. The scene could be said to be in chaos.
At this moment, Qi Yinghang strode between the people on both sides and waved his hand and shouted: "Since the Wanhong Gang established his gang, there has never been any brothers fighting each other. Now it cannot happen in front of me, Qi Yinghang. I have been in the position of leading position for twenty-five years. It is indeed time to change to another wise man. However, today I will say ugly things in front. If anyone takes the position of leading position, it will violate the ancestral teachings of Wanhong Gang and do not follow the word "benevolence and righteousness", I, Qi Yinghang, swear that I will never let him go."
Speaking of this, he said to Duanmu Li and others: "Thank you, brothers who support Qi, thank you, but the dragon stick was indeed lost in my hands. It is also the rule of ancestors to raise your hands to decide whether to stay or not. I announced that from today on, Deputy Gang Leader Pang will temporarily take over as the leader until he officially ascends the throne on his behalf. Remember, you are not loyal to someone, but the rules of Wanhong Gang."
Listening to Qi Yinghang's decision to abdicate, Duanmu Li and others were disappointed, but they did not clash with the party that supported Pang Tongxun again.
Chapter completed!
