Chapter 86 Father Dies and Son Inherits
This arrangement is actually extremely beneficial to them. Sitting in the back is not so noticeable, and even if they make some small movements, few people will see it. It is best for secretly inquiring about information.
In addition to the tables in the middle, there were also many people sitting on the tables nearer to the side of the hall. I don’t know whether it was because they were not familiar with each other, or because of the majesty of the Tiger Gang. No one walked back and forth to say hello, but just talked to those sitting there. The people at the same table were talking quietly.
It was still early before the ceremony started. Wang Yinlong had nothing to do, so he quietly introduced the people around him to Qingyang. Qingyang didn't seem to be interested in it. He would only pay attention to those who were more important, but he needed to come in advance. , doesn't seem to be very important.
However, as time went by, the guests who came in became more and more important, and the tables closer to the middle aisle were gradually filled with guests. Qingyang became more and more interested in Wang Yinlong's introduction, and gradually understood the composition of the Jianghu forces in Kaiyuan Mansion.
For example, the group of people sitting closest to the main seat were so aggressive that they occupied two tables as soon as they arrived. According to Wang Yinlong, they were the Jinyan Gang in Kaiyuan Mansion, second only to the Tiger Gang. Jin Ruyan, the leader of the Jinyan Gang, is a top-notch master in the world. Although his deputy gang leader Jin Ruhong is not as good as others, he is not far behind, and he is also a near-first-class master. If he had such strength in other places, he would definitely be a powerful man, but in Kaiyuan Mansion, his reputation of being suppressed by the Tiger Gang is not obvious.
And the few people sitting opposite the Jinyan Gang are also the Bai Ma Tang, a relatively famous gang in Kaiyuan Mansion. The strength of the Baima Tang is slightly worse than that of the Jin Yan Gang. The main gang leader Bai Shihui is a first-rate master, and the deputy gang leader Bai Shitong is slightly stronger than the second rate. However, Baima Hall is closer to the Tiger Gang, because the two hall leaders are the uncles of Hu Xiaozhong, the young leader of the Tiger Gang.
Sitting in front of Wang Yinlong and the others, on a table near the passage, was another gang, the Langya Gang. The leader of the Langya Gang was about the same strength as Wang Yinlong, but the overall strength of the gang was stronger, so they were arranged. In a slightly forward position.
Opposite the Langya Gang is the Qinghu Clan. The Qinghu Clan is weaker than the Sands Clan, but they are brother-in-law with Hu Zhenhua, the third brother of the Tiger Clan, so they are placed in a slightly better position. There are many other similar forces, so I won’t introduce them one by one.
At 3:30 p.m., all the tables were almost full. At this time, a loud shout suddenly came from outside: "Tiger Gang's Qinglong Hall leader Hu Zhentai, Xuanwu Hall leader Hu Zhenheng, young gang leader Hu Xiaozhong and a group of juniors The disciples are here!”
Before the shouts could stop, all the guests in the hall stood up to welcome the big shots from the Tiger Gang. Soon, hearty laughter could be heard, and then Hu Zhentai led a large group of Tiger Gang members into the hall.
The one in the middle is naturally Hu Zhentai, and there are two others on the left and right, namely the fifth brother Hu Zhenheng and the eldest nephew Hu Xiaozhong. In addition to the three of them, there are three young people and two boys following closely behind. one girl. According to Wang Yinlong, the woman was Hu Zhenhua's daughter Hu Xiaoxi, and the two men were the fourth Hu Zhenheng's son Hu Xiaonan and the fifth Hu Zhenheng's son Hu Xiaobei.
Looking at the guests who were filling the hall to greet him, Hu Zhentai smiled brightly and waved his hands: "Welcome to our Tiger Gang. There are many guests today. It seems that everyone still supports our Tiger Gang. Please sit down, everyone. Please sit down." "
Although Hu Zhentai spoke, no one sat down immediately. Instead, they waited for a few people from the Tiger Gang to take their seats before everyone sat down one by one.
When everyone was done, the old five tiger Zhenheng stood up and said: "Some time ago, something happened to our Tiger Gang. Some of you here may have heard some rumors, and there are many random guesses. This is the end of the matter. We in the Tiger Gang are not afraid to tell everyone. My eldest brother passed away due to some things more than a month ago, so we, the Tiger Gang, gathered everyone together to participate in the succession ceremony of the new gang leader. "
As soon as Hu Zhenheng said these words, there was a raging discussion. Most of the forces did not understand the news. It was the first time they heard about the death of Hu Zhensong, so the impact of this news on them was huge. Just imagine. Some people who had heard the news in advance had only heard about it briefly and did not know whether the news was true or false. Now that they have received confirmation from the Tiger Gang, there are no less shocked expressions on their faces.
Something happened to the leader of the largest gang in Kaiyuan Mansion. Hu Zhensong was only in his fifties. How could he die just like that? What kind of force can harm the leader of the Tiger Gang? Look at the scene where the five brothers usually come together every time the Tiger Gang holds a celebration, but now only two people come. Could it be that the Tiger Gang has encountered some major changes, and Hu Zhensong is not the only one who died?
Hearing that Hu Zhensong was really dead, Wang Yinlong couldn't help but turn his head and look at Qingyang beside him. I don't know how this young man knew such important news in advance. Now that something happened to the Tiger Gang, it was at a precarious time. He asked the Sands Gang to help him infiltrate the Tiger Gang. He must have had bad intentions and hoped not to implicate himself.
Putting aside the discussion of the people below, Hu Zhenheng paused for a moment. After everyone gradually accepted the news, he continued: "With the right way, a family cannot be without a master for a day, and a country cannot be without a king for a day. The Tiger Gang The position of gang leader has been vacant for a long time, which has had a great impact on our Kaiyuan Mansion community, so we must elect a leader as soon as possible. Finally, after discussions within our Tiger Gang, it was agreed that my second brother would take over as the new gang leader. "
After Hu Zhenheng announced, Hu Zhentai, who was sitting in the main seat, was about to stand up and speak, but he didn't know that Bai Shihui, the leader of the White Horse Hall next to him, suddenly said: "I have a question that I want to ask you, the principle that the gang inheritance in our Liangzhou Jianghu has always followed is that the father dies and the son inherits. Since leader Hu Zhensong has a son, why did the position of leader fall to someone else?"
If Bai Shihui didn't mention it, others didn't think it was wrong. Now that someone brought it up, everyone realized that it was wrong. Yes, why didn't the position of leader be passed on to Hu Zhensong's son, but fell into the hands of the second son of the Hu family? Is there some secret that cannot be told?
Hu Zhenheng had already prepared a response to this, and said, "According to traditional customs, the most popular way of passing down the Liangzhou gang is for the son to inherit the family line after the father dies, but there have been cases where the younger brother inherits the family line after the elder brother dies. My eldest nephew Hu Xiaozhong is less than 30 years old, and his strength has just reached the level of a second-rate master. Whether it is prestige, strength, means, etc., he is still lacking. He is not yet able to meet the needs of a super power like the Tiger Gang. He still needs more training, so the position of gang leader is temporarily..."
