Some people support it, and naturally some people oppose it.
The brothers under the deputy gang leader Qian were very dissatisfied: "The gang leader Bai is also true, how can you think of letting a girl doll to inherit the Cao gang?"
"This is too much, it's just playing the brothers as monkeys!"
"… "
There were voices of dissatisfaction and support one after another, and some people expressed curiosity about Qiu Ying's ability to survive, and shouted to him on the stage: "The surnamed Chou, do you know that the young gang leader has been fighting for your life with the water bandits for the past few years? You came back alive, does the little gang master know?"
The people under Qian's deputy gang leader are yin and yang: "Young gang leader knows that his identity as a woman is exposed, so I'm afraid he won't show up, right?"
"Nonsense! Young gang master dares to act, how can he dare not appear?"
"What about her people? What about people?"
While the two sides were arguing, the door of Baihualou was violently pushed open from the outside with a "bang". Everyone was attracted by the sound and turned to look.
Today, Baihualou was reserved by the Cao Gang. After everyone arrived, the door was closed. There were still Cao Gang brothers guarding outside, as a warning. Ordinarily, no one would come in.
However, at this moment, facing everyone's gaze, two people walked in side by side through the open gate.
Among them, the tall man was obviously expressionless, but it made people feel honorable and unoffensive. His eyes seemed to have frost in his eyes. Looking around, the person who met his eyes felt cold on the back of his neck for no reason, and he couldn't help but give birth to a shivering feeling. I mean, but it doesn't make sense.
The short one is actually not short, but her companion is too tall, which makes her petite and exquisite for no reason.
Someone exclaimed: "Young gang master! Young gang master is back!"
The tall one is Zhou Wang Zhao Wujiu, and the short one is the Cao Gang's young gang leader Bai Shiqiu.
Bai Shiqi walked in slowly with his hands behind his back, just like every ordinary day in the past, he greeted the brothers and the helmsmen who knew each other, Zhao Wu Jiu followed her like a guard, and the two walked all the way from the gate to the stage.
On the stage, Qiu Ying's pupils shrunk when she appeared, her eyes were as deep as ink, and seemed to contain endless struggles, looking at her in despair.
Qian Sai reminded in a low voice, "Nephew, don't lose your mind for a woman!"
Qiu Ying came back to his senses and turned his eyes to a different direction. Out of the corner of his eyes, he noticed that the man was approaching step by step like a stroll in a leisurely courtyard. When he got on stage, he greeted the two deputy gang leaders: "Uncle Song, deputy gang leader Qian." His eyes swept over him, as if in the old days: "Aying, you are back."
At that moment, Qiu Ying's heart was like a convulsion, and he was almost speechless, only nodded with difficulty, the past still in front of his eyes.
Some of the brothers in the gang fought for her and shouted on the spot: "Young gang leader, when you didn't come, Qiu Ying came to the stage to expose you. He said... You are a woman!"
Bai Shiqi glanced at Qiu Ying at random, that glance made Qiu Ying almost have the urge to flee, but his limbs were stiff as if they had taken root on the stage, not moving at all.
"Oh." Bo Shiqi stood straight, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Could it be that because I'm a woman, I can't match everyone's ability? Can't lead everyone to earn money to support the family?"
There was an uproar in the audience.
Hearing the rumors, it is one thing to speculate in your heart, but it is another thing to admit the shock.
Song Yuankai originally didn't believe the rumors, he didn't know what to say when he heard this, and after a while he said, "Seventeen, be careful!"
The deputy gang leader Qian was very excited and winked at his confidant in the audience. The man knew the opportunity and immediately shouted: "Did you hear it? Did you hear it? The young gang leader himself admitted that she is a woman!"
Bai Shiqi smiled and waved to him: "Dou Cheng, come up." It was the boy who yelled.
Dou Cheng didn't expect to be named by Bai Shiqi with a single sentence. He had already accepted the intention of the deputy gang leader Qian. Today, he must drive Bai Shiqi out of the Cao Gang, not to mention that Bai Zhenting is dead and she has lost her backing. Another little girl, what's there to fear
Immediately swaggering up to the stage, he said yin and yang angrily, "I don't know the leader of the young gang - no, it should be called the eldest miss! I don't know if the eldest lady called the small one up, what would you say?" He also deliberately moved to Bai Shiqi's side: "I used to think that the eldest lady was handsome, but after a closer look, the eldest lady looks pretty!"
That's the sad thing about women.
When Bai Shiqi was a boy, he was also an influential figure in the Cao Gang. Who would dare to make fun of her with such an attitude and not wait to be beaten down
But once Bai Zhenting passed away, her daughter was exposed, which attracted such humiliation and ridicule.
Bai Shiqi was never the one to swallow her anger, she smiled slightly: "Really?" She raised her foot and kicked Dou Cheng off the stage neatly.
Zhao Wu Jiu hurriedly went to help her: "How are you? Does it hurt?"
Qian Sai couldn't bear it any longer: "Brother, you seem to have made a mistake, right? It was someone else who was kicked off the stage.
Dou Cheng relied on the momentum of deputy gang leader Qian to come up, but he didn't react. He only felt that his internal organs were churning, and he had fallen to the stage in a dazzling turn of the sky, and almost hit someone else.
He lay on the ground and cursed: "Little bitch! Dare to kick Lao Tzu!"
Bai Shiqi has been with the Cao Gang since he was a child, and he never heard of any salty words, so he immediately scolded: "Your mother, this old bastard, gave birth to an uneducated little beast like you, and you dare to come on stage to make fun of the young master. Believe it or not, the young master will let you. Going out sideways today?!"
She raised her eyebrows, her prestige was still there, and the shocked Dou Cheng didn't dare to reply.
He almost forgot that before he knew that Bai Shiqi was a daughter, the leader of Young Master Bai was an uncompromising demon king.
Many people in the audience applauded, "Good kick!"
Others shouted: "You dare to tease the young gang leader, who gave you the courage?" Even if the young gang leader is a woman, she is also a woman of the world, not a girl who sells jokes in the flower building outside, and can be humiliated at will.
Qian Sai's face on the stage was very ugly.
He originally thought that as long as the identity of Bai Shiqi's woman was announced to the public, it would inevitably cause dissatisfaction among all the brothers. Everyone was angry and expelled Bai Shiqi to leave, but he did not expect that many people would help her.
Originally, Dou Cheng's humiliation of Bai Shiqi with the matter of gender has already caused the dissatisfaction of her brothers. As Bai Shiqi said, it is an indisputable fact that no matter whether she is a man or a woman, she leads a good life with her brothers. Perhaps it is precisely because she is a woman that she is more meticulous. It is fun and happy, and also quits gambling and walks the right path. Every time I come back by water, I can greatly improve my family life, which makes my parents, wives, children and children look forward to it.
This is the real benefit.
These Caobang men were born in Caoze, and they don't have the sourness of so many scholars. Of course, gender can be a reason for exclusion, but Caobang is a place to talk with fists. The fist of the leader of the Bo Shaogang has never been vegetarian.
Now Qiu Ying is standing on the stage, but who does not know, in order to avenge Ying Xiao Shi and others, the leader of the young gang has never stopped chasing the water bandits. At this point of benevolence and righteousness, a man who acts like this should be praised as a good man by those who know it. What's more, Bai Shiqi is still a little girl, which is even more rare!
The die-hards under the Bai family's father and son yelled at Dou Cheng. The scolding Dou Cheng had no color on his face.
Standing on the stage with impeccable demeanor, she bowed her hands to those under the stage with her usual relaxed smile: "Thank you brothers for your love for me, I grew up in Caogang since I was a child, is it because I am a woman? , your uncles and brothers are going to regard me as an enemy?"
"Uncle Song?"
Song Kaiyuan regretted in his heart, how good it would be if Bai Shiqi was the real son-in-law, who could not only support the Bai family's door, but also the Cao Gang's door.
Qian Sai hated her to death, and she couldn't help but show her signs when she spoke: "I used to think that the master of the young gang was eloquent, but now I know the reason. The little lady should not be too sharp, or what if she can't find a good husband's family in the future?"
Bai Shiqi's fingertips trembled, but his face was the same as before, he smiled and said, "I still don't understand the matter of the Cao Gang, so I don't have to worry about my marriage, the deputy gang leader Qian!"
Who knew that the young man beside her said: "Associate gang leader Qian, don't worry, when I and Shiqi become married in the future, if deputy gang leader Qian is still in the Cao Gang, I will definitely send a wedding invitation!"
Bai Shiqi said urgently, "...Who promised to marry you?" Talking to himself!
His Highness King Zhou's words to her not only seemed unheard of, but what was even more speechless was still behind.
He announced in court that he was going to marry Bai Shiqi, and regardless of what the leaders of the Cao Gang were talking about, he pointed at a man who had helped Bai Shiqi before and said, "Excuse me, hand me a chair."
The man foolishly handed over the chair. He took the chair and supported Bai Shiqi to sit firmly, staring at her waist and abdomen, for fear that the foot just tore the wound and seeped blood. .
Bai Shiqi couldn't hang on his face, struggling to stand up.
Unexpectedly, His Royal Highness Zhou Wang clasped his fists at Song Kaiyuan and Qian Sai: "Deputy gang leader Song, deputy gang leader Qian, Seventeen is injured and can't stand for a long time, so borrow a seat."
"It's okay." He just felt that with the power of Bai Shiqi, after kicking Dou Cheng, the other party should vomit a few mouthfuls of blood to respond to the situation, but he didn't expect that he just limped up and backed away, and was secretly surprised that it was She is seriously injured.
Qian Sai was stunned: "Which one is your Excellency?"
King Zhou: "It's Zhao Wujiu!"
As soon as these words came out, the hall fell into a dead silence.
In the past few days, the name of His Royal Highness King Zhou has been centered on Yancheng, and has spread rapidly along various waterways to all parts of the Yangtze River and Huaihe River. There are also the latest news every day. The news of which official has been locked or rectified on the spot is all terrifying.
Qian Sai couldn't believe it: "Zhou... His Royal Highness King Zhou?"
Bai Shiqi smiled and said, "It's His Highness King Zhou, and Deputy Party Leader Qian has not bowed to His Highness Zhou to say hello?" At this moment, she had tasted the sweetness of the fox and tiger's prestige, and she was eager to see Deputy Party Leader Qian's servile and flattering appearance.
"Nonsense!" Qian Sai suddenly became angry: "His Royal Highness Zhou is in charge of everything, how can he come with you to help?" He seemed to have found the backbone for himself, and his tone turned high-pitched: "Bai Shiqi, you are carrying The boy who knows where he came from pretending to be His Royal Highness King Zhou, be careful to get into trouble!"
Bai Shiqi said, "Your Highness, what should I do? Deputy Gang Leader Qian refuses to believe your identity."
From the beginning to the end, Zhao Wu Jiu's eyes were all on Bai Shiqi, for fear that she would fall behind in the next moment, but she always talked and laughed as usual, he stood beside her, and when he lowered his head, he could see the fine cold sweat oozing out of her forehead , and pale fingertips trembling slightly.
He lowered his head and held her cold little hand, put his palms together, and smiled gently: "Okay, listen to you." However, he turned his head and shouted loudly: "Here, the suspect Qian Sai, Qiu Ying colluded with the water bandits, Killing people's lives, immediately lock them up!"
The door of Baihualou was rudely kicked open from the outside again. I don't know when there was a team of sergeants standing quietly outside the door, bending bows and arrows, and the arrows were aimed at Qian Sai and Qiu Ying on the stage.
Qian Sai couldn't help but take two steps back and looked at Zhao Wu Jiu in shock: "His Royal Highness Zhou?!"
Qiu Ying's eyes were deep, and she finally spit out two words: "Seventeen—"
Bai Shiqi seemed to be exhausted. She said, "Aying, come here."
In just a few short walks, it seemed like a lifetime had passed. When Qiu Ying stood in front of her with her legs stiff, she carefully looked at her, her eyes still remained, but the smile did not reach her eyes, it was far away from the mountains and seas.
"You put your hand out," she said.
Qiu Ying Yiyan.
Bai Shiqi untied the purse he was carrying around his waist, took out a precious thing from it, and put it in the palm of his hand.
It was a white pebble with a small "Cao" inscribed on it.
Qiu Ying's heart trembled, and after a long time he said in a hoarse voice, "Where did you find it?"
"The bilge of the merchant ship in the Gaoyou murder case."
She stared at Qiu Ying. For many years, she had held her arms together, laughing and having fun. The little children grew up with her, showing her handsome and graceful eyebrows, but she never knew the undercurrents behind this surging, engulfing the lives of many people.
"Did Xiao Shi and the others die in your hands?"
The audience was silent, and there was a dull thunder rolling in the distance. I didn't know when, the dark clouds gathered in the sky, and a flash of lightning tore the sky, followed by the pouring downpour.
Qiu Ying smiled bitterly: "Did you guess it?" The voice was light, as if murmured, drowned in the thunder and rain.
Even if Bai Shiqi couldn't hear what he said, she could still guess the meaning of his words from the shape of his lips. The sadness in her heart couldn't be added, and even her complexion became extremely ugly, revealing a rare weakness: " I wish I never knew you were alive."
