In the conference room at the entrance of Mabang Zongtang.
Xu Hu slowly stood up: "Old Wei, what do you mean?"
"I don't mean anything." Wei Xiangzuo ignored the young man whose chin hook he had taken off, and turned to stare at Xu Hu and said: "Although Xiaofeng's words are a bit aggressive, they make sense. The master is dead, and the murderer has not been caught. We gather together to discuss the division of territory and making money. Isn't it a bit against the rules?"
Xu Hu said with an extremely ugly face: "Don't stand on the moral high ground..."
"Bang!"
When the two were confronting each other, Zhang Zhengfang slapped the table: "Alright! You two, one is the leader and the other is the hall, can you speak and act with some measure and abide by the rules?!"
Xu Hu glanced at Wei Xiangzuo and said nothing.
Wei Xiangzuo looked up at Zhang Zhengfang: "My master's death is obviously suspicious. If we don't find out the truth, we will use the old rules to divide the territory. It will definitely be difficult to convince everyone. Old Zhang, you are one of the elders of the Code Gang. What do you think we should do about this?"
In the room, those who were originally prepared to support Xu Hu were silent at this moment. Because Xiaofeng's words just now were well-founded, it almost proved that Lao Gu's death was not that simple, so if someone jumped out and forcibly helped Xu Hu to smooth things over, it would not be helping him, but harming him.
Since the Code Gang is on the road of the underworld, it must have the spirit of the underworld. Under the table, you can fight like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea and show your magical powers, but things on the table must be acceptable, because this is their survival rule.
"What do you think?" Zhang Zhengfang asked the members of the Elders' Council in the room.
A few seconds later, an old man smoked a cigarette, frowned at Xu Hu and said, "What Xiao Wei said is right. If you want to get promoted, you have to convince the people, let the brothers below obey you, and let the people above recognize you. Now someone has expressed a different opinion, which means that there are brothers in Zhannan who are suspicious. If you want to be a small leader, you have to take the initiative to solve the problem."
Next to him, the leader of Fukuoka District also interrupted and said, "Xu Hu, you want to join the Presbyterian Church and want to hold a title in the Federation of Trade Unions. This is well known. I don't mind this. The seniority is enough. We advocate that the capable should take the position! But the things that should be done should be done beautifully. There is no sound below. I vote for you."
Everyone nodded when they heard this. Xu Hu stood there and responded with a smile, but did not answer.
Zhang Zhengfang pondered for a while, then slowly stood up and said, "Then let's do this. If you find out the truth about Lao Gu's death, catch the gunman, and make the noise below disappear, we will agree that you can change the rules and come up. We old guys will sit here and not stop the younger generation."
Xu Hu paused for a moment, turned his head and said to Gu Tongshan's wife, "Master's wife, don't worry. If I can't catch these gunmen and kill the people who killed my master in a month at most, I will hand over my chair and leave my job in Zhannan."
"Okay, it's settled." Zhang Zhengfang made the decision, "One month, you can find out the reason, and we will still have a meeting here."
"Okay." Xu Hu agreed.
"Do you have any more questions?" Zhang Zhengfang asked Wei Xiangzuo.
"No more." Wei Xiangzuo shook his head simply.
"Then listen to me. If what Xu Hu finds out is convincing and well-organized, then you must fully support him." Zhang Zhengfang pointed at Wei Xiangzuo and said, "You are the second-in-command. It is definitely not okay to engage in internal strife."
"No problem." Wei Xiangzuo responded again.
"That's it, adjourn the meeting!" Zhang Zhengfang waved his hand.
"Let's go!"
Wei Xiangzuo called Xiaofeng and led everyone away.
Xu Hu stayed in the meeting room and began to see everyone off one by one and communicate with them individually.
...
Five minutes later, in the car.
Wei Xiangzuo turned his head and looked at Xiaofeng: "Who told you to speak at the meeting?!"
"I just said everything you can't say." Xiaofeng replied indignantly: "In the matter of Gu Lao being killed, Xu Hu is the biggest vested interest at present, and he himself is worthy of suspicion. How can such a person call the shots in Zhannan at this critical juncture? He also wants to change the rules. Let's not talk about the fact that we didn't agree to sell gold bricks. Even if we agreed, he can't have the final say! If Xu Hu hadn't played tricks and you happened to be on the run, the gang leader should have been yours."
Wei Xiangzuo frowned and looked at Xiaofeng: "How do you know what I'm going to say?"
"Brother, brothers are doing this for your own good. Now I'm not the only one who is emotional, all our brothers are unbalanced." Xiaofeng said angrily: "As soon as Gu Lao died, Xu Hu stopped paying us the interest last month. Why?!"
"Alas!" Wei Xiangzuo sighed, pointed at Xiaofeng and said, "I know what I want to do and what I should do. Next time there is such an occasion, if you still talk nonsense, I will chop your mouth off."
Xiaofeng was still quite afraid of Wei Xiangzuo in his heart. When he heard him say this, he immediately smiled: "... I still have to call you big brother with this mouth, are you willing to chop it off!"
"Little bastard...!" Wei Xiangzuo cursed with a squint and turned his head to look out the window.
...
In the union.
After Xu Hu sent Zhang Zhengfang away, he met with Longkou District alone.
"Wei Xiangzuo seems to be a little dissatisfied with you!" Longkou District Zuotang whispered: "With him behind your back, it's not easy for you to take over this power."
Xu Hu frowned and looked at him and said: "I will talk to him."
"Talk about nothing, if you don't agree, just beat him to death." Longkou District Zuotang frowned and said: "Power struggle is cruel, you should know this better than me!"
Xu Hu was actually annoyed by this unruly person, but because he had to use the other party's power, he whispered back: "I know my own business. I will do what I promised you."
"That's good." The other party nodded.
...
In a high-end hotel in Longkou District.
Su Tianyu drunkenly dragged Dabai to the corridor and asked him urgently: "Have you found a place with young men?! Old Dong was so anxious that he pinched my thigh four or five times. If I dawdle for a while longer, I'll be in trouble...!"
"Fuck, he doesn't just go to any place. He wants high-end and good quality. Don't I have to ask now?!" Dabai also replied anxiously: "I don't usually go to such places...!"
"Hurry up!" Su Tianyu urged.
"Go back first, I'll make two calls." Bai Hongbo replied.
"Hurry up!" Su Tianyu threw down a sentence, smiled and pushed the door into the box, and sat next to Leader Dong with a little bit of a ball: "I'm contacting, let's go right away, Brother Dong."
"If it doesn't work, forget it..." Brother Dong looked at Gou Liuzi with a dazed look.
"What's wrong with that? Right away, right away!" Su Tianyu replied a little stiffly.
Brother Dong held his chin with his chubby little hand, looked up at the door, and suddenly asked: "... Hey, the little white fat guy outside the door... speaks very interestingly! He is also fair-skinned and good-looking."
Su Tianyu was stunned, turned his head to look at the corridor, and saw the fat figure of Dabai.
"This kid is good-looking." Old Dong said again: "Does he have anything to do in the evening? How about we take him to have some tea?"
Su Tianyu nodded immediately after hearing the voice: "He... he should be quite convenient. It's okay, I'll ask him for you."
"Haha, OK!" Old Dong smiled and nodded.
Su Tianyu stood up and muttered to himself: "Fuck, it's not me he's after? I'm safe then!"
A minute later, Dabai looked at Su Tianyu in amazement and said: "Don't be ridiculous!! My family has never done this for 18 generations... If this gets out, will I be dead?!"
"No, you should fool him first. I misunderstood just now. He doesn't like me, he likes fat ones..."
"Get out of here!" Dabai walked to the side with the phone and shouted in a broken voice: "Hurry up and find a place! If you're late... I've had my hemorrhoids cured!"
...
As soon as Wei Xiangzuo arrived in Zhannan, Xu Hu suddenly called him: "Hey, Lao Wei, I'll be back soon. Do you have time? Let's talk!"
