Song Si Niangzi was in the backyard of the Cao Gang, when she heard rumors from outside that Bai Shiqi was a woman, she was stunned for a while.
"is that a lie?"
Bai Shiqi is handsome and romantic, shrewd and capable, and kind. She is the only one in the back house. Even if Song Si Niang doesn't count her fingers, she knows how many benefits there are, not to mention that her heart is still tied to Bai Shiqi. Seventeen, although he is busy and can't stay at home, there is always hope.
Rumors from the outside world were like thunder on a sunny day for her, and she felt helpless for a while.
Zhener also couldn't believe it: "... Or, ask Mr. Qiu?"
Qiu Yunping devotes himself to brushing his face in front of Song Si Niang, and finally thinks of him after encountering something.
Zhener came to ask him in a panic, and he frowned deeply: "The news from Gaoyou, the old gang leader was cut down, but no one is alive or dead, only Mr. Huang is still there, and the gang has already sent people I have protected him in the past. But... there are rumors that the leader of the young gang is a woman, which is a bit strange."
Zhen'er hurriedly stumbled: "Mr. Qiu, is the leader of the young gang a man or a woman, can you be accurate!"
Qiu Yunping almost scratched his hair bald: "I haven't had a bath with the gang leader, how do I know?" He suddenly leaned closer and whispered, "But the deputy gang leader Song has already passed the news to the local branch helmsmen, ordering them to Go back to Suzhou for a meeting within three days, one is to investigate the gang leader, and the other is... If the young gang leader does not show up, I am afraid everyone will think she is a woman, I am afraid that the matter of the young gang leader's succession will be... "
He is Bai Zhenting's direct descendant, and he has been helping him with the gang's internal affairs. If the Bai family's father and son have an accident, he may not be able to get along in the Cao gang. If Zhener doesn't come to him, he will also find Song Siniang.
Zhener covered her mouth in fright: "Could this be done by someone in the Cao Gang?"
Qiu Yunping was very worried: "I have already sent someone to find the young gang leader, I just hope he can catch up with the Cao Gang meeting in three days."
The news of Bai Zhenting's murder was sent back to the Cao Gang, and the hearts of the gang were fluctuating. Some people waited and watched, some acted secretly, and some quietly stood in line. All kinds of gossip were flying all over the sky.
All of Bai Zhenting's concubines burst into tears, and the inner house was filled with an atmosphere of anxiety and sadness. Mrs. Su even fainted several times. When she woke up, she urged the servants around her: "Send someone to look for it. Seventeen, hurry up and get her back!"
Time flies so fast, three days are just around the corner.
The Caobang Conference was held as scheduled, and the helmsmen from various places and the small leaders who got on the table gathered in the largest restaurant in Suzhou - Baihualou.
Baihualou has three floors, but there is a tall performance stage in the lobby on the first floor. On weekdays, the restaurant invites people to perform on the stage, and the audience is unknown.
Today, the deputy gang leader Song took the lead to speak on the stage. He raised his hand to signal everyone in the building to be quiet, and said sadly: "Brothers, the news from Gaoyou that the gang leader has been killed, the young gang leader has not shown up for a long time, and there are no leaders. Come up with a charter."
As soon as the words fell, the deputy gang leader Qian also went up to the high platform to answer: "The deputy gang leader Song is right, the group of dragons has no leader. Although the gang leader is killed, we must not be in chaos within the gang."
He was only promoted from the helmsman to the deputy gang leader a few years ago. He spent half a year in the helm of the year. Now that he came to the stage to help, the deputy gang leader Song couldn't help but be vigilant: "Now the wind and rain are under pressure, and the murder of the gang leader has not yet been found out. We must find the young gang leader, and secondly, we need to work out a charter for the internal affairs, and everyone should keep their duties first." I was afraid that the old gang leader had just been killed, and some people in the gang hurriedly wanted to recommend a new leader candidate, causing civil unrest. .
Sure enough, Deputy Gang Master Qian had other goals and was not ready to take on his fault: "Wait a minute, we have so many brothers gathered in Suzhou, we must let us find out the truth? Ladies, I don't know if it's true or not?"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone upstairs and downstairs was in an uproar, whispering and talking.
Many brothers in the Cao Gang have heard this rumor recently, and some of them who had drunk flower wine with Bai Shiqi scoffed: "If the young gang leader is a woman, I will write my surname upside down!"
Some were skeptical: "...It can't be true, right? The young gang leader is quite handsome."
Even the one who was once defeated by Bai Shiqi cursed: "Fuck your motherfucker! Are you saying that I was defeated by a girl?"
He was convinced that he was defeated in the hands of the young gang master, but how could it be possible that he was defeated in the hands of a little girl? !
Gang Leader Song sneered: "Deputy Gang Leader Qian, the Cao Gang Conference is to discuss important matters. Don't discuss these nonsense rumors on the streets, okay?"
The deputy gang leader Qian didn't care about his attitude at all, and smiled: "Originally, the gang leader was killed, but in recent years, the gang leader has both ability and prestige, and has led the brothers to live a good life, so he should inherit the position of the gang leader. When I first heard the news, I also suspected that someone wanted to prevent the Young Gang Master from succeeding to the throne and then deliberately ruined the Young Gang Master's reputation. However, I met an old friend a few days ago, and unfortunately I got the truth from his mouth. "Young gang master is really a woman!"
The Caobang brothers who were sitting and standing upstairs and downstairs hummed, as if a bunch of mosquitoes had fried the pot, all kinds of doubts rang out, and some people shouted: "Deputy Gang Master Qian. , since you said there are witnesses, why don't you let the witnesses come up, so that our brothers can see if he is talking nonsense!"
Song Yuankai also said: "Deputy Gang Leader Qian speaks carefully, it is about the reputation of the Young Gang Leader, and things without evidence can't be spread around!"
Since Qian Sai dared to say it, he had full confidence. He said loudly to a corner of the building: "Nephew, why don't you come up and clarify the truth?"
I don't know when a young man in gray clothes sat in the corner. At this moment, he stood up and walked to the stage step by step. Many people followed the eyes of Deputy Gang Leader Qian and swept over him. The few people recognized him and were immediately surprised: "Isn't he dead?"
There are also new brothers who don't know each other in recent years, and can't help but ask curiously: "Who is he?"
Someone kindly lowered his voice and told him: "This young man is called Qiu Ying. I heard that he is an orphan in the gang. When he was a child, he was brought to Suzhou by the deputy gang leader Qian and became the playmate of the young gang leader."
With a sick face, Qiu Ying walked up to the stage in silence, and some familiar people in the audience shouted excitedly, "Qiu Ying, so you're not dead?"
He seemed to have made up his mind and cupped his hands: "Brothers, I am not dead, but seriously injured. I have been recovering from injuries outside for the past few years."
After the chatting on and off the stage, the deputy gang leader Qian urged him: "Aying, you grew up with the young gang leader from a young age. Now everyone wants to know if the young gang leader is a woman, so please give everyone an accurate word."
The hall was suddenly silent, and everyone was eagerly waiting for him to speak.
Qiu Ying cleared her throat and finally said: "All the brothers here should know that I grew up with the young gang master, but only by chance did I temporarily leave the Cao gang. But in fact, there is a secret buried in my heart. For a long time, as rumors have said, the young gang leader is indeed a woman. To tell you the truth, the gang leader also intended to match me and the young gang leader at the beginning, but... I think the matter is very important, and I can't hide it from the brothers in the gang. I just left the Cao Gang, and I stand here today to testify, just for the development of the gang, lest the selection of the successor of the gang leader is wrong and the future of everyone is wrong."
His words were like pouring half a bowl of water into a large pot of boiling oil, and the discussion in the hall suddenly exploded.
Qiu Yunping huddled in the corner, surrounded by all the confidants of the Bai family and his sons, he felt bad when he saw Qiu Ying coming to power, and when he heard him say this, regardless of whether Bai Shiqi was a woman or not, he immediately scolded: "ungrateful villain. , thanks to the fact that the gang master treated him like his own son in the past, the young gang master has suffered so much for his death all these years, and he has the face to stand on the stage to report *revel* the private affairs of the young gang master!"
Someone else said: "Damn, I don't care if the young gang leader is a woman or not, as long as she can bring our brothers to make money and live a good life, and the mother-in-law and baby can be fed and clothed, I will recognize her!"
His words were approved by many brothers around him, and some people said: "The young gang leader took us on the boat, and it has always been the least casualty. Even my mother-in-law praised the young gang leader. Since I followed her, I have no chance to lose. Money, every time I go out, I can bring back money for the mother-in-law and the baby to eat, eat and wear, if I turn against the lesser gang leader, my mother-in-law will not agree!"
