Xian Ao

Just like this, time passed little by little. The light rain outside stopped and the sun was about to rise. Yu Zecheng climbed to the roof and continued his daily morning classes.

His behavior must be the same as before, and there must be no abnormality. This is Yu Zecheng's idea. Sitting on the roof, the eastern sun slowly rises, and suddenly the first ray of sunlight shines on Yu Zecheng's face. Zecheng began to operate the Tiger's Roaring Heaven Technique. The technique of the Tiger's Roaring Heaven Technique was running in the body week after week. After last night's practice and things, the previous bottleneck completely disappeared, and Yu Zecheng successfully reached the Great Success. realm.

Yu Zecheng's whole body was shaken, and his true energy surged instantly. Yu Zecheng suddenly broke through the great realm of Tiger's Roaring Heaven Technique, and opened his mouth to spit out a stream of white mist.

As the white mist spit out, Yu Zecheng opened his mouth and began to scream for a full five minutes. Breathing mist and roaring loudly is the manifestation of the Tiger's Roaring Technique. Yu Zecheng was extremely excited. He had finally mastered the Tiger Roaring Heaven Technique that he had practiced hard for eight years, catching up with the progress of others. He was not a practicing idiot. It seems that this must be the benefit brought by Xue Gang Jue.

Mother had already prepared breakfast. While eating, mother said:

"I went to buy groceries this morning and heard that something happened to Mr. Li last night. His wife eloped with Ma Fuping and killed him. All the money was taken away. Now this story is being spread everywhere."

Yu Zecheng listened silently. After breakfast, he deliberately walked around the street. Sure enough, the news was all over the street. In the teahouses and alleys, the aunts and eight-grandmothers were talking about Li Daguan's death. Kill one thing.

What they performed was as if they had seen it themselves, vivid and well-spoken. But it’s true. The Li family’s money disappeared, the coachman and his wife also disappeared, and the carriage was gone. The coachman bought dog medicine at the drugstore the day before yesterday. Official Li beat his wife when they had nothing to drink. Others had seen the two of them having a tryst before. It can be said that there is irrefutable evidence, and everything points directly to the two of them.

When Li Daguan died, he had no children and no one to inherit the family property. All the collateral relatives of the Li family gathered in the Li Mansion to fight for the family property. No one cared about how Li Daguan died.

Yu Zecheng wandered around for a while, and after seeing that his attempt to frame the blame was successful, he went to Black Tiger Hall. It was a bit late. He was a bit late for work today. Chef Wang Xuesen would definitely use this to make things difficult for him, but he could bear it. past.

Who knew that when Yu Zecheng entered the kitchen, Wang Xuesen walked over with a smile and said:

"Xiao Yuzi is here. You don't have to go to work today. Go to the lobby. Hall Master Ma is looking for you."

Yu Zecheng was surprised and said:

"Is it Hall Master Ma who is looking for me?"

Wang Xuesen said:

"Yes, yes. By the way, Xiao Yuzi, my uncle did a little too much before. Please forgive me. You also know that we are all chefs. It is inevitable to be a little curious when we see that we don't know how to cook. Looking back now, I really feel sorry for you. , this is my compensation to you, uncle.”

After saying that, he handed over a red envelope. Yu Zecheng took it and squeezed it with his hands. It was not light, it was two taels. It was not copper coins, but 80% silver. He immediately answered with a smile on his face:

"What did uncle say? I'm a foreigner. If you hadn't taken me in, I wouldn't be where I am today. In fact, there are things wrong with Zecheng. Please forgive me. Uncle, if you have something to do, just tell me directly and Zecheng will definitely handle it."

It seems that Brother Bai is indeed trustworthy. It must be a good thing that Ma Laohei comes to find him today. Wang Xuesen heard the news and knew that since he left the kitchen, there would be no conflict of interest and there was no need to make enemies, so he bribed himself. Yu Zecheng went to the meeting hall of Black Tiger Hall. Before he reached the entrance, he saw Cui Renxiong. He saw Yu Zecheng hurriedly walked over and said:

"Xiao Yuzi, come here."

Yu Zecheng hurriedly walked over and said:

"I've met Uncle Cui, the master of Hall Cui."

Yu Zecheng knew that Cui Renxiong liked others to call him Hall Master, so he said so specifically. Cui Renxiong was very satisfied with Yu Zecheng’s greetings and said:

"I heard that you roared in the mountains this morning. It seems that you have successfully practiced the Tiger Roaring Technique. I specially reported it to the hall master. The hall master will definitely promote you and give you a heavy responsibility. Uncle can say all the good things to you."

Yu Zecheng immediately bowed, stretched out his hand to give the red envelope he got from Wang Xuesen, and said:

"Thank you, Uncle Cui. Xiao Yuzi will definitely repay you in the future."

Cui Inxiong took it, nodded and said:

"Good boy, don't worry, I'll help you. Come on, hurry up and enter. The hall master has been waiting for a long time today, why did you come here?"

Yu Zecheng said:

"I caught a bit of wind and cold yesterday, so I'm late today. I wonder what kind of work uncle can arrange for me?"

The two walked into the lobby. Ma Laohei was sitting in the middle. Seeing him, Yu Zecheng saluted and said:

"Join the Hall Master."

Ma Laohei said:

"Yu Zecheng, you joined my Black Tiger Hall when you were ten years old. It has been four years now. For Bai Hexi's sake, I think you are a descendant of an old man in the gang and work hard without complaint, so I have arranged a good job for you. But Whether you can do it well or not depends on you. I won't say much else. I will report to the Shanhu Branch in Mangkhut County tomorrow. You will become one of the targets of the Shanhu Branch Deacon. Work hard. Bar."

Mangkhut County is thirty miles away from Linhai City and is on the edge of the Hundred Thousand Mountains. It is the last small town in the Tang Kingdom and then enters the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

Among the seven branches of Black Tiger Hall, the oil and water there is good, because of the traffic location, it is very prosperous. However, the Black Tiger Hall was not powerful there, with only 200 disciples. Because it was originally the territory of the Wild Wolf Gang, the Black Tiger Hall was reduced to only three streets and was almost driven out of the county. This was because people saw that the helmsman's surname was Shi, and he was the younger brother of the concubine of the head of the Shi family in Linhai City, so they didn't kill them all.

In fact, the most powerful one there is the Shi family, but according to the practice of Tang Country, these underworld transactions are controlled by gangsters, and the Shi family will not cross the line. This is the unspoken rule of Tang Country, formed with countless blood for hundreds of years. Who can Don't dare to violate it.

Just like the Shi family and the Yu family, they have a lot of wealth, but none of them has their own blacksmith shop, and all weapons are made by the Tie family. As for the Tie family's transactions, whether they lead to Mu Country or Shiwandashan, they are transported according to normal routes and taxes are paid to these two families. This is the result of countless generations of ancestors of their families, countless battles, and countless compromises. produce results.

When Yu Zecheng heard this order, he didn't know what to say. Ma Laohei continued:

"You are a bit young, but that's okay. Gang Leader Lei was only twelve years old when he founded the Tiger Gang."

Yu Zecheng replied:

"Yes Yes."

Ma Laohei continued:

"Although the power of the Wild Wolf Gang is gone there, the remnants are still there. If you are new and steal other people's deacons, some people must be dissatisfied. So when you go there, you must obey the orders of Master Shi and negotiate with the local Shi family. Contact more. Master Bai Shao must have given instructions to the Shi family when he left. With their support, everything will be easier to handle.

But you must remember not to lower the morale of our Black Tiger Hall. If something happens and you live in an ignoble way or betray the hall, I will skin you alive. "

Yu Zecheng replied loudly:

"Master, please rest assured. I will never embarrass the Black Tiger Hall and go through fire and water, even to the death."

Ma Laohei nodded, waved his hand and said:

"Go home and get ready. Remember to come early tomorrow morning and don't be late like today. Then choose four disciples from the hall to take you there. Deputy Hall Master Cui will send you there."

Yu Zecheng saluted and left. Watching him leave, Cui Inxiong said:

"Lord, is that all he, a little kid can do, fight against the target?"

Ma Laohei said:

"There is no way. Bai Hexi has already talked to me, so he has to give me some face. I have already arranged for Lao Shi to go there tomorrow and arrange a deacon for him to resist the target. I will set it up for him. By then, he will earn a lot of points every month. He doesn't have much money, and he can be a puppet, even a cat and a dog can be considered worthy of Bai Hexi.

If Lao Shi hadn't been the helmsman in Mangkhut County, for the sake of the Shi family, they would have been wiped out by the Wild Wolf Gang. Now the Wild Wolf Gang is gone, but the sub-rudders there are not strong. We have to open five more sub-rudders here. All the experts have been sent out, and no one can support him. The vacant land will inevitably be coveted by some. This kid has some good luck. With Bai Hexi backing him up, the Shi family has to give him some face. When the time comes, let him be the butler of the best street. Other gangs who grab territory are taboo with the Shi family. And give him face, who dares to say no. Wasn’t the territory legitimately taken back? "

Cui Inxiong nodded while listening, and said flatteringly:

"Tall, really tall. Firstly, you are worthy of Bai Hexi. Secondly, you blocked the Shi family's request. Thirdly, you suppressed other gangs to seize the territory. Kill three birds with one stone. Master, you are really tall. I really admire you. You are like a surging river... …”

Yu Zecheng left the lobby. No wonder Wang Xuesen's attitude towards him changed. It turned out that he knew that he had been promoted.

The core business of the Tiger Gang is the protection fees collected from the territory, as well as water transportation and land transportation within the Tang Dynasty. There are two canals in Tang State from south to north. The roads are developed and the transportation industry naturally flourishes. It is completely under the control of the underworld gangs.

Black Tiger Hall is one of the four main entrances of the Tiger Gang. The main entrance controls Linhai City. There are seven branches below, which control seven small and medium-sized cities in the southern part of Tang Kingdom. Each helmsman has the final say. There will be a number of deacons under them, and these deacons are the executors of specific work.

Some deacons are responsible for water transportation. Such deacons are called faucets. Some are in charge of carriage and horse shops and manage land transportation. Such deacons are called Xing Ye. Some deacons are responsible for managing the streets and collecting protection fees and other fees in their own territory. At the same time, they also have to protect their territory from being invaded by other gangs. There are fights and bloody battles among the gangs. Such deacons are called anti-targets. .

Each deacon has at least thirty disciples under him, and those faucets and line deacons have hundreds of disciples under them. The subordinates also include the master, who is responsible for making suggestions, and the red, white, and blue gold medalist Four Sticks, who are the most powerful gold medal thugs. The ordinary disciples are ordinary thugs, the most basic members of the Black Tiger Hall, members who can risk their lives to fight for the gang. The deacon is the little boss who controls them.

Being a deacon is not easy. Although there is a fixed monthly amount of money every month, it is only a small amount. First of all, he must be able to fight, so that he can defend his territory and others are afraid of him, so that he can collect money. In addition to paying a fixed fee to the helmsman, the rest is yours. Don’t think that you can spend it by yourself. Although your disciples also have monthly quotas issued by the gang, you don’t reward your subordinates, don’t win people’s hearts, and don’t Take good care of your men, who will fight for you at the critical moment.
