Gu Qingshan had already made his words clear and gave him the big stick and red dates.

If he doesn't cooperate, his son will be killed.

If he cooperates, he will adopt his son as his adopted son and become one of his own, and also promise him the position of hall leader.

but,

Li Sheng is well aware of how far the dispute between Gu Qingshan and Xu Lang has reached.

He struggled internally for a long time, sighed, and said, "Master Gu, what do you want me to do?"

Gu Qingshan smiled slightly and said: "Xu Lang caught the pickpocket named Zhang Wen and controlled his family. Were you watching?"

Li Sheng took a deep breath and nodded slowly. He already knew what Gu Qingshan was going to do.

Gu Qingshan said: "If you can meet Zhang Wen, tell him that if he wants to live and save his family, let him speak properly."

"I see."

Afterwards, Gu Qingshan told Li Sheng a few words, stood up and left.

…

Two days later,

Xu Lang finally came out of the Hundred Household Office.

Of course, this kind of thing is a common occurrence for him. Gang members at his level will inevitably be closely watched by the government, and they will be called to drink tea at the slightest sign of trouble.

However, they are all people with backgrounds. As long as no actual evidence is revealed or even caught at the scene, there is no big problem. They are all locked up for two or three days and then released.

After coming out of Baihu Station,

Xu Lang went straight to Daxing and called his two confidants, A Wu and Li Sheng.

"Did Gu Qingshan reply to the letter?" Xu Lang said.

"No." Awu said: "There has been no movement, but I haven't moved around anymore in the past two days."

"Hmph!" Xu Lang snorted coldly and said, "Send someone immediately to issue an ultimatum."

"I understand." Awu immediately walked out the door.

Xu Lang looked at Li Sheng again and asked: "A Sheng, is there no problem with you, but don't let Gu Qingshan find Zhang Wen's family, otherwise, there is no guarantee that Zhang Wen will not change his story."

"Don't worry, brother," Li Sheng said: "Zhang Wen's family is hidden by me, absolutely hidden."

"Yeah." Xu Lang nodded.

After a long time,

Ah Wu, who had left, came back with a gloomy face. He walked in and said, "Brother, Gu Qingshan has answered."

"How do you say it?" Xu Lang asked.

Ah Wu said coldly: "Gu Qingshan said: If you dare to go to the main hall, you can go to the main hall. He, Gu Qingshan, can not sit in the hall, but he will never be a dog. In addition, he also said that if you dare to go out, he will follow you."

Till death!"

"Ignorant of good and evil!"

Xu Lang snorted coldly and said: "Since he is shameless, let him be ruined. He is just relying on his current influence. The gang will try to downplay this matter. He thinks that there is nothing I can do.

He can no longer compete for a seat in the restaurant, so I will let him become a loner and fight with me? When I came out to hang out, he was not even born!"

After saying that, Xu Lang slapped the table and said, "You guys stir things up for me. Let's go to the main hall and open the Zhongyi Hall now!"

…

noon.

Ciyun Mountain, Qingshan Gambling House.

Mad Dog hurriedly ran into Gu Qingshan's office and shouted: "Brother, someone from the main hall is here. Please go to the main hall. Xu Lang has opened the Zhongyi Hall."

Gu Qingshan put down the pen in his hand, smiled lightly, and said: "Then let's go!"

Mad Dog followed Gu Qingshan out and said: "Xu Lang arranged for many people to spread the word that you killed Zhong Xiang. It has only been a few hours and it has already caused a stir."

Gu Qingshan smiled disdainfully and said: "Let's make trouble, the bigger the storm is, the more serious the backlash will be."

soon,

Gu Qingshan walked out of Qingshan Gambling House. A group of people from the main hall were waiting at the door. At this time, many horse boys gathered outside the gambling house. A large group of people followed them to the main hall.

There were more and more people along the way,

All the boss-level figures under Gu Qingshan’s command have arrived.

When Gu Qingshan arrived at the main hall,

The main hall is already very lively. The hall masters of each hall and the bosses under their command, as long as they can get away, have already arrived. One after another, uncles and uncles have also arrived.

Gu Qingshan was greeted and taken to a small courtyard.

This small courtyard is very quiet,

The courtyard is filled with tables, chairs and stools, and inside is a hall with several doors open and seats arranged in sequence. At the very end of the hall is a plaque with the words "Yi, Loyal, Filial Piety and Justice", and a statue of a god is enshrined underneath.

This statue is not Guan Erye, and there is no legendary figure like Guan Erye in this world. These gangsters all worship a local mythical and legendary figure.

Soon, the courtyard was filled with people,

In the hall, the uncles took their seats one by one, followed by the hall masters. As for those boss-level figures who were not qualified to enter the hall, they were all sitting in the courtyard outside.

On both sides of the hall, there were some solemn-looking gang members sitting, all holding weapons, and they were all members of Zhongyi Hall.

This Zhongyi Hall is a rather special existence.

It is not a special hall, but a place where major gang matters are discussed on weekdays. For example, when Gu Qingshan was running for the hall leader, he held a loyalty hall.

These members of the Zhongyi Hall are a small department specially selected by the main hall to be responsible for etiquette.

After Gu Qingshan sat down, he glanced around and saw that there were still some experts in the gang, but there was nothing particularly eye-catching.

At this time, the gang leader Ding Jiayao held three sticks of incense and bowed respectfully to the statue. Then he slowly turned around and sat down. After looking around, he said: "Alang, since this is the Loyalty Hall that you requested to open, then you should be the one to open it now."

Let’s make things clear in front of everyone!”

Xu Lang glanced at Gu Qingshan, stood up slowly, raised his hands and saluted everyone around him, and then said loudly: "Dear gang brothers and elders, I asked to open the Zhongyi Hall today because the truth about Uncle Xiang's death has been revealed!"

Suddenly, there were sounds in the hall and courtyard.

Xu Lang continued loudly: "Before, everyone thought that Uncle Xiang was killed because of the bounty offered by the Dadao Gang. I have always thought so. But a few days ago, I accidentally learned a truth that I couldn't believe.

I investigated for several days before I had to accept this matter. Uncle Xiang's death was actually caused by one of our gang members. In order to cover up the truth, we had someone pretend to be a substitute to accept the reward from the Big Sword Gang!"

Immediately, there was an uproar.

Amidst the excitement of the crowd, someone shouted: "Hall Master Xu, who are you talking about?"

Xu Lang pondered for a while and said slowly: "This person is Gu Qingshan, the master of Qingluowan Hall. He had a grudge because Uncle Xiang did not support him when he ran for the hall master, so he killed Uncle Xiang!"

After saying that, Xu Lang looked at Gu Qingshan and said in a deep voice: "Gu Qingshan, in front of all the brothers today, I ask you, do you admit it?"

Gu Qingshan took a slow sip of tea, then slowly put down the teacup, looked at Xu Lang, sighed, and said: "Boss Xu, I know you hate me because I want to compete with you for the seat, but we are brothers, no matter what

You have to have principles and bottom lines when fighting, right? Have you resorted to such despicable frame-up methods now?"

Suddenly, there was an uproar.

Gu Qingshan's younger brothers all started shouting, and the place suddenly became as noisy as a vegetable market.

Ding Jiayao stood up and greeted the scene, then looked at Xu Lang and said: "A Lang, this kind of thing is not a joke."

Xu Lang cupped his hands and said: "Brother, naturally I won't joke about this kind of thing. If I didn't confirm it again and again, I wouldn't open the Zhongyi Hall. All brothers and uncles are here today, so let's confront each other. I have witnesses!"

An uncle said: "Then bring the witnesses and we will question them clearly." After that, the uncle looked at Gu Qingshan and said: "Qingshan, do you have any objection?"

Gu Qingshan smiled slightly and said: "I can walk and sit upright, so of course I have no objection."

Xu Lang looked at Gu Qingshan and said: "Qingshan, you have to think clearly. If there is a confrontation, you will have no way out. If you honestly admit it and tell the truth, the gang will consider giving a lighter sentence."

Gu Qingshan sighed and said: "Boss Xu, I should have said this to you. You must think clearly. We are fighting against the same sect, and such dirty methods are really not allowed."

"Huh, I won't cry until I see the coffin!"

Xu Lang snorted coldly and shouted: "Bring the people up!"

Soon, A Wu and Li Sheng pressed Zhang Wen into the hall.

Zhang Wen is a pickpocket. He has never seen such a battle before. Any little guy on the scene is someone he needs to look up to.

He was so frightened that his face turned pale, his whole body was limp, and he knelt on the ground shivering.

Xu Lang said loudly: "Zhang Wen, how did you see Gu Qingshan kill Uncle Xiang? Explain everything clearly. If there is any deception, you know the consequences!"

Zhang Wen was so frightened by Xu Lang's scolding that he stammered: "Everyone... bosses... I... my name is Zhang Wen, and I am a pickpocket... On July 13th last year, I was in Changlin.

A house in the lane... stole... stole things,

That family was Zhong Xiang...Uncle Xiang's house. I happened to be blocked by the owner when I was stealing things, so I hid in the cellar...

I heard Uncle Xiang call Gu Qingshan’s name...
