Chapter 321: A Marquis of One Side

Just as he was thinking, he saw a team of deacon disciples wearing big red robes walking out of the "Hongzu Hall", and someone shouted loudly: "The door of the ancestral hall is open, and all the uncles enter the venue."

With his voice, the old men began to enter the "Hongzu Hall" in an orderly manner.

At this time, all Zhang Haotian's positions in Wanhong Gang were revoked, and his identity was the most special, so he could only walk at the end.

After entering the "Hongzu Hall", I saw that the decorations inside were similar to those of the Ancestors after the "Wansheng Teahouse", but the area was more than twice as large. The rows of black spirit cards were made high and thick, with large and clear names, which seemed extremely solemn and solemn, and different from other places.

The old men stood in two sides, and Zhang Haotian could only stand at the end of the left, but Sun Tiejun came over and stood with him.

Dozens of old men stood in the hall and were really silent. After a while, they heard someone outside shouting loudly: "Uncle Longtou arrives, all the old men will take over."

With this sound, he saw Pang Tongxun, who was thin and wearing a big red silk robe, and arrived with a bunch of old men. Zhang Haotian saw a middle-aged man in his forties and fair skin among the crowd. However, Mi Mingzhen, the Huan Hou who used to manage the southern district, and asked Sun Tiejun in a low voice, "Brother Sun, is Mr. Mi promoted to Guantang or Zhitang?"

Sun Tiejun also lowered his voice and said, "It's the Lord Guan Tang, but I heard that Mr. Longtou is going to let Mr. Qiu Guang and Gongsun Jian come back. Mr. Mi is afraid that he won't be able to sit for long."

Zhang Haotian knew that Mi Ming was really Pang Tongxun's confidant. This person may be smart, but he was weak and sick. He asked him to take on the position of Guan Tangtang. Maybe there was no problem in a peaceful and prosperous era. However, in such a severe situation, he needed to spend a lot of effort to contact his subordinates and motivate them to work hard for the gang. It would be impossible to have no strong energy. What's more, he had just ascended to the position of Guan Tangtang, and was a little unfamiliar with the old men in various territories, so he needed to spend more time and energy.

At this time, he also looked at the people on both sides. Except for a very small number, they all saw them at the last party. Among the six Huanhou, two of them did not come. Naturally, they broke up with Qiu Guang, Gongsun Jian and Pang Tongxun to the end.

While thinking, I heard the old men shouting loudly: "I heard for a long time that the dragon head is full of kindness and righteousness, and the lotus flowers bloom. My brother's hall came to pick him up and welcome the dragon head here."

This is the common saying in the Wanhong Gang to welcome the elder brother in a regular ceremony. It is just here to change the elder brother to the dragon head. However, there is a gesture, sit on the lunge, put five fingers together with the right hand, and bend the palm to ninety degrees and dot down three times. This is called "Phoenix Three Nods". The voice must be loud and powerful, so that the majestic momentum of the Hongmen is revealed, and it is one of the great gifts of the Hongmen.

Before walking straight to the incense table spirit card in front, Pang Tongxun bowed, but straightened his big finger, bent his index finger to the bottom, middle finger, ring finger, and little finger together. He saluted towards those spirit cards, which was another etiquette of Hongmen, "three and half incense".

When they saw the dragon head man saluting, all the uncles followed him to "three and a half incense."

After the incense burning was finished, there was a big red seat in the middle of the incense case, but Pang Tongxun did not sit down immediately. Instead, he slowly looked around the old man standing on both sides of His Highness, and then shouted: "I believe you have also guessed the purpose of asking you all today. The enemy is related to the survival of our Wanhong Gang for decades of foundation, and also to the century-long honor and disgrace of the Hong Gang. It is impossible to discuss a countermeasure. I also hope that everyone will come up with good strategies. It is my blessing and the Wanhong Gang for many years."

With his voice, the old man on both sides didn't speak, so naturally he couldn't think of any good idea.

At this moment, Mi Mingzhen came out from the crowd, walked to Pang Tongxun, bowed to him and said, "Master Longtou, I have some ideas."

Pang Tongxun immediately said: "Okay, Mr. Mi, you have always been resourceful, but what are you good ideas?"

Mi Mingzhen immediately said: "The old saying goes, 'Brothers do not bully their neighbors, generals and ministers do not bully their neighbors.' And the saying also says, 'There are many birds and no fear of eagles, and many people make the mountains flat.' They all talk about the word "harmony". Although the Sanlian Gang is powerful, its strength is far inferior to my gang. This time they dare to attack in large numbers, and they also see that our Wanhong Gang has caused internal turmoil due to some misunderstandings from their brothers recently, and they feel that there is an opportunity to take advantage of it. Therefore, as long as the Wanhong Gang can unite and the brothers share the same hatred and firmly embrace the group, the Sanlian Gang is not afraid at all, and they can take this opportunity to completely eliminate this great danger."

Listening to Mi Mingzhen's words, Pang Tongxun immediately nodded and said, "Okay, Mr. Mi, what you said is very good and very reasonable. This is also the only way to deal with the Sanlian Gang and restore the majesty of our Wanhong Gang. The word "he" is really important."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mi Mingzhen immediately said, "Qiu Guang and Gongsun Jian are respectful. They have always valued you and respected you for your brothers. Not long ago, due to some misunderstandings, I left Wanhong Gang and temporarily took over the position of the Lord of the Hall, and I am ashamed every day. Therefore, I want to resign from the position of the Lord of the Hall of the Hall of the Hall of the Hall of the Hall of the Hall of the Hall of the Hall of the Hall of the Hall of the Hall of the Hall of the Hall of the Hall of the Hall of the Hall of the Hall of the Hall of the Hall of the Hall of the Hall of the Hall of the Hall of the Hall of the Hall of the Hall of the Hall of the Hall of the Hall of the Hall of the Hall of the Hall of the Hall of the Hall of the Hall of the Hall of the Hall of the Hall of the Hall of the Hall of the Hall of the Hall of the Hall of the Hall of the Hall of the Hall of the Hall of the Hall of the Hall of the Hall of the Hall of the Hall of the Hall of the Hall of the Hall of the Hall of the Dragon of the Hall of the Hall of the Hall of the Dragon, and ask Master Qiu to come back to take charge of the overall situation. I hope you can agree."

Following his words, another person came out of the crowd and bowed to Pang Tongxun and said, "Uncle Longtou, Mr. Mi is very right. I am willing to resign from the position of Master of the Hall and ask Master Gongsun to come back."

Zhang Haotian didn't recognize this person, so he asked Sun Tiejun next to him, "Brother Sun, what is this person's name? What did he do in the past?"

Sun Tiejun whispered: "This person is called Xiong Dawei. In the past, he was one of the confidants of Mr. Longtou when he was the deputy leader. He was just Mr. Pihong from Xingsan. Mr. Longtou used to need some people to do things secretly, so you have never met him."

Hearing Sun Tiejun say this, Zhang Haotian suddenly thought of Qi Yinghang's death. He didn't know if it had anything to do with Xiong Dawei who was doing things secretly. He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists quietly, and the anger in his heart was burning for a while before he calmed down. However, he knew that the culprit of this matter was Pang Tongxun. To avenge Qi Yinghang, this person was the first to be the one who was responsible for it. However, at what time and method to use, he needed to think more.

Of course, the resignation of Mi Mingzhen and Xiong Dawei was designed by Pang Tongxun long ago. At this time, he nodded repeatedly and said, "It is rare for you two to start from the overall situation and consider this gang. Well, I will accept your resignation and ask Lord Qiu and Lord Gongsun to come back to preside over the affairs of this gang. They may have some misunderstandings about me, but as a member of the Wanhong Gang, everything should start from the overall situation and put all the grievances within us aside. After the enemy is eliminated, I am willing to reopen the incense hall and let everyone vote to decide whether they are competent for the leading position."

Speaking of this, his eyes glanced into the crowd and said, "Meng Ping, the situation of the Shi family, you two are also considered old people from the Wanhong Gang. You are good friends with Lord Qiu and Lord Gongsun. I hope you will bring my words to the two masters today. Never be a sinner in the gang, ashamed of your ancestors."

Meng Ping and Shi Jiakuan Zhang Haotian met. When they re-selected the Longtou Master, they followed Qiu Guang and Gongsun Jian and strongly supported Qi Yinghang. They were willing to come at this time, but they were actually considering the overall situation and were unwilling to be defeated by the enemy due to the division.

Listening to Pang Tongxun's words, Meng Ping and Shi Jiakuan just nodded, with obvious expressions of not respecting Pang Tongxun very much, and naturally the resentment for him killing Qi Yinghang was still very deep.

At this moment, Meng Ping couldn't help saying, "Mr. Longtou, you said that the enemy is in front of you. I agree with the suggestion that the brothers of Wanhong Gang temporarily put the grudge aside. However, I am afraid that Lord Qiu and Lord Gongsun will not trust you, and are worried that you will not be wary of what you do behind your back and will not be willing to return to the gang to serve."

Listening to Meng Ping's words, Pang Tongxun nodded and said, "Mr. Meng, you are very saying. I also know that some things in the past have caused everyone to misunderstand me deeply. I don't want to explain it here. However, today I call everyone to Zuhongtang to open the incense hall. I have another purpose, which is to make a poisonous oath in front of all the uncles to show my desire to seek peace and defend the enemy."

After saying this, Pang Tongxun asked a deacon disciple to light nine incense, then held it in his hands, bowed nine times to the ancestor spirit card, and then shouted: "Pang Tongxun, a disciple of Wanhong Gang, swears in front of the spirit position of all the ancestor spirit positions that when the Wanhong Gang is dead, the disciples are willing to give up the siege with all the brothers in the gang, and will not do anything to secretly slander people. All grievances must be opened until the strong enemy is destroyed and then resolved separately. If you violate this oath, Pang Tongxun's family will be 14 people willing to sacrifice their lives for their own sake, and everyone will be killed."

After making a vow, Pang Tongxun inserted nine fragrances into the incense burner under the spirit card and bowed deeply again.

Listening to Pang Tongxun's oath silently, Zhang Haotian deeply understood that if he had not been forced into a desperate situation and his credibility was really unbelievable, Pang Tongxun would never use his family's lives to swear to win the trust of others. Unless this person really reached the point of being unkind and unfaithful and unrecognizable to his relatives, he would not have violated his oath. Moreover, before the Wanhong Gang's catastrophe was resolved, he would not have been foolish. Although he dared not say 100%, more than 90% would not have any problems.

At this time, Pang Tongxun turned around, his eyes suddenly turned to Zhang Haotian, and shouted: "Zhang Haotian, come out and listen to the order."

Since he wanted to start cooperation, Zhang Haotian naturally wanted to give him some face, so he walked out and bowed to him, "Zhang Haotian pays homage to Mr. Longtou."

Pang Tongxun was forced to swear by his family, which was considered a weakness. At this moment, of course he would show his power. With a "hmm", he sat on the chair of the leader and said: "Zhang Haotian, last time you attacked the Dongxing Gang's important place in S City, fought bloody battles and made great contributions. It's a pity that I didn't understand my strategy deeply, and I had some misunderstandings, and even left the gang. I don't want to mention all the gaps today. S City is in danger. Now I want to announce your new appointment. Do you dare to take responsibility?"

Zhang Haotian said loudly without hesitation: "I am willing to listen to the order of the Longtou Master."

Seeing Zhang Haotian cooperated with him so much, a smile flashed across Pang Tongxun's face and said, "Zhang Haotian, with your qualifications, you could not hold this position, but you have repeatedly made great achievements. Among the young generation of Wanhong Gang, you can indeed be called the first person. Now that the enemy is in front of us, our gang also needs young brothers to fight against the enemy. In extraordinary times, we can do extraordinary things, so I decided to promote you to the third place Huanhou. Everything about our gang in S City will be guided and arranged by you. I hope you can turn the tide, return the current disadvantages, and fight for our gang."

During the last call with Pang Tongxun, Pang Tongxun revealed his intention to hand over S City to him. Zhang Haotian was not surprised and said immediately: "Yes, my subordinates will do their best to reverse the situation in S City, and will never embarrass the Wanhong Gang."

Now Huan Hou Maqiang, who is in charge of S City, is standing on the right. Obviously, he doesn't know that Pang Tongxun will actually ask Zhang Haotian to take over his position, so he quickly stood up and said, "Master Longtou, I have something to say."

Pang Tongxun looked at him, nodded and said, "Oh, what do you have to say?"

Ma Qiang immediately shouted loudly: "Zhang Haotian has only been in Wanhong Gang for two or three years. Even if he is promoted in an extraordinary way, he cannot be mentioned to the Huanhou of Xingsan. Since the Wanhong Gang established the gang, there is no precedent. I am afraid that all brothers will not accept it."

Pang Tongxun said "Yes", and then said, "There is no precedent for promoting a young man who has only been in the gang for three years. In the Wanhong Gang, there is indeed no precedent for this. When Qi Longtou mentioned that he was the Hongqi Master of the Fourth Army, even if it was an exception, I did not object, because among the many gang rules of the Wanhong Gang, there is no such thing as not being able to promote a particularly outstanding person beyond the level. Mr. Ma, are you very dissatisfied with Uncle Zhang to take over you? Well, let me ask you, how do you plan to deal with the current situation in S City? Can you break the siege of the three gangs? If you have a good idea, I can consider that you are still in S City."

S City is the most abundant territory of the Wanhong Gang. In the past, Duanmu Li was the leader of the six major Huanhou, and Ma Qiang's territory was the worst. The reason why he supported Pang Tongxun was to get a better territory and make a fortune. How could Ma Qiang know about the current situation in S City? However, he already knew that there was a lot of oil and water in Hongwang Group, but he had just been there and had not had time to start. He saw that the fat meat in his mouth could not be eaten, so of course he felt so distressed.

So, Ma Qiang said excitedly: "Mr. Longtou, although I don't have a good solution yet, I hope you will give me three months to explore the situation in S City to see if I can come up with a solution."

Although he seemed loyal, Ma Qiang was bought by Pang Tongxun himself. Of course, he knew very well the person's mental ability and asked him to go to S City. It was just because Tang Fengping was suddenly hacked to death, and the capable Duke Huan in the gang was not the same as him. He could not think of a good candidate for a while, so Ma Qiang went there. This person had no value in use and was just using him to show his power and improve morale. He could also comfort Zhang Haotian and others.

Pang Tongxun's face sank and said, "Ma Qiang, I'm afraid that Wanhong Gang will not have a piece of land in S City. I'll ask you, why have you lost several pieces of land since you took over Tang Fengping's seat? Now more than half of our important places in S City have been smashed and cannot be restored. How can you explain?"

Listening to Pang Tongxun's voice becoming more powerful, Ma Qiang was also shocked and said quickly: "Master Longtou, you should know that the three alliance gangs, Dongxing gangs, and Iron Blood Alliance in S City have all been united. We are not opponents at all. I have asked the chief zodiac for help many times, but the chief zodiac cannot draw any hands for me."

Pang Tongxun immediately said decisively: "This is not a reason. Ma Qiang, since I have handed over S City to you, you have to find a way to solve the problem by yourself. If you lose your territory one after another, you should bear the responsibility of incompetence. This gang has always only six major Huanhou. Now that Zhang Haotian has been promoted, your position as Huanhou will be exempted. As for what position to re-appoint, go back to City G first, and I will arrange the one that suits you."

When Ma Qiang heard this, his face changed drastically. He was about to scold Pang Tongxun for crossing the river and destroying the bridge, but when he saw that he had no use, he took action. However, when he saw Pang Tongxun's gloomy face, he immediately remembered Qi Yinghang's death. He secretly shivered and said nothing. He could only pretend to be obedient and said: "Yes, I'll listen to you, Mr. Longtou. Go back to clean up and come back to City G."

Pang Tongxun nodded, looked at the old men on both sides, and raised his voice again: "Listen, the enemy's powerful power is definitely not a reason to retreat. The Wanhong Gang should have his own blood and show his might. The enemy will be afraid of us. From today on, if anyone dares to retreat in the face of battle, I will definitely punish him severely."

His words were powerful and murderous. Who wouldn't know that this man was cruel and ruthless, and he would never joke about what he said, and his heart was filled with darkness.

Zhang Haotian understood that after Pang Tongxun was caught off guard, he was ready to fight back. This person was not a mediocre person, and it would be difficult for the Sanlian Gang to swallow him in one go. A bloody battle is inevitable.

After saying a few more words, Pang Tongxun announced the end of the meeting and ordered all the uncles to return to their territory quickly.

Zhang Haotian turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Pang Tongxun.

So he had to turn around and walk to Pang Tongxun and said, "Master Longtou, do you have any advice?"

Pang Tongxun sat upright on the chair, staring at him for a while before saying, "Haotian, don't mention the grudge between you and me anymore. Now I want to ask you, how are you going to deal with the current situation in S City?"

Zhang Haotian shook his head and said, "I have not fully grasped the current situation in S City. I must understand it clearly before I can formulate corresponding strategies."

Pang Tongxun said "yes", nodded and said, "Actually, Ma Qiang said it well. Being Hongqi Master with your age and qualifications is already an exception, let alone Huanhou, Haotian, S City must be kept in hand and don't let me down."

The situation in S City is much more severe than that in G City. Zhang Haotian did not dare to pat his chest to make a promise, but said, "Master Longtou, how many more people can you transfer to S City now?"

Pang Tongxun pondered: "G City is also tight at the moment. Qiu Guang and Gongsun Jian brought some people to me and didn't cooperate with me. It's a big problem to transfer people. However, if you really can't hold on, you can call me and I will try my best to get out the man."

Zhang Haotian immediately said: "I have a request, I wonder if you can agree to it by Mr. Longtou?"

Pang Tongxun said: "What request do you think?"

Zhang Haotian said: "When I was the uncle of Jiujiang in the south suburbs, I had a group of brothers under my command and had participated in the battle between Jinzi Village and Shuangjing Village. Although the number of people was not large, only three or four hundred people, I needed to have commanders and dared to fight desperately in S City. I want to choose 200 of these brothers to transfer them."

Although Pang Tongxun was worried that Zhang Haotian would use this to develop his own power, at present, keeping the territory of S City is the top priority, and there were not many 200 people. He nodded and said, "Okay, you go to Sun Tiejun for this matter, and I will call him."

Zhang Haotian was also happy when he heard his agreement. After experiencing the battle of "Wanjia Farmers' Market", he already knew the combat effectiveness of the Wanhong Gang people in S City. During the decades when Duanmu Li was in power, there was never a large-scale fight. In other words, the young Wanhong Gang members had never seen big scenes at all. There was no problem with yelling a few times to watch the scene, but in the face of bloody and cruel fights, there were too few people who dared to rush and kill, and his brothers

, he had trained with him in the orchard for more than half a year, and had participated in battles with Shuangjing Village. Both discipline and combat effectiveness were definitely better than those of Wanhong Gang in S City. If two hundred people were selected from three to four hundred people, he would naturally become his own elite troops. He was not only loyal to him, but also able to organize effective counterattacks against targets. It could also create a strong deterrent to some Wanhong Gang people who were dissatisfied with him in S City, and the benefits were huge.
