Chapter 58 Chapter 58: Lord Xin Wutan

But it was said that one month after Zhao Guan returned to Hangzhou, Li Sibiao posted a post to invite him to a banquet as a reward.Zhao Guan couldn't refuse, so he had to go to the banquet.However, besides Li Sibiao, his daughter, apprentices, and several important subordinates, there were more than ten brothers including Guo Qianchuan from Xinwutan.These people had been rescued by him, fought against him shoulder to shoulder, they felt affectionate and grateful when they met, they shook hands and hugged shoulders with him, they were very familiar with him.Zhao Guan also likes the straightforwardness of Guo Qianchuan and other bloody men, drinking and chatting with everyone is very harmonious and happy.

After the banquet, Li Sibiao invited Zhao Guan to talk in the inner hall, and said: "Brother Jiang, I have always regarded you as a good friend. Today I have a big task to entrust to you. I hope you don't refuse."Zhao Guandao: I'm young and inexperienced, I don't know anything, I don't know what Fourth Master Li wants to entrust to me?I'm afraid I can't bear it. Li Sibiao said: "Brother Jiang captured Zhang Wanqing in Nanchang and shocked the group. His reputation has already spread throughout the gang.Now that the two incense masters of Xin Wu Tan have passed away, there is a vacancy for talents, so I want to recommend little brother Jiang to be the master of Xin Wu Tan.

Zhao Guan was stunned for a moment, he knew that the masters of the ten altars of the Qing Gang had a high status in the Jianghu, and Li Sibiao was the altar master of the first altar, the Jiawu altar, not only the brothers in the gang, but also the general people in the Jianghu respected him very much.But I am not a member of the Youth Gang, how can I be the leader of the Youth Gang?Li Sibiao said again: Brother Jiang, you are a rare talent among the younger generation I have seen.If you agree to this matter, I will definitely be able to win the support of the leader.The brothers of Xin Wutan respect you very much, they came to me with one voice and asked me to ask you to propose to be the altar master, and I hope you don't refuse.

Zhao Guan shook his head and said, "But I'm not a member of the Green Gang." Li Sibiao said: "If you want, I can immediately introduce you into the gang." Zhao Guan pondered and did not answer.Li Sibiao said again: "Brother Jiang, my little girl and I, and all the brothers in the gang admire you very much. If you can join the gang, we will be like a family in the future. We will all be very happy."Said looking at him eagerly.When Zhao Guan heard him mention Li Huamei, he knew that most of the actions he took in Nanchang were out of righteous indignation, but a small part was because he heard Li Huamei and Zhang Lei quarreling that night, so he admired him so much and didn't want to disappoint her.He thought again: Fourth master doesn't know my origin, yet he respects me so much, he really has the generosity of a senior in the world.Sideways: The younger generation has received great love from the fourth master, and I am very grateful.But this junior has other considerations. Regarding joining the gang, I ask fourth master to give this junior a few days to think about it.Li Sibiao said: This is no problem.Is little brother Jiang going to ask the teacher for instructions?

Zhao Guan shook his head, he never revealed the details of himself and Baihuamen to Li Sibiao, he pondered for a while, and said: Si Ye, brother has a heartless request, I want Si Ye to forgive me and agree.Li Sibiao said, "Just say it." Zhao Guandao: Brother's background is secret, and he bears blood and deep feud. There are really many hidden things.I am a good friend of Fourth Master, and I am honest and honest. If it is not necessary, I will never deliberately conceal it.If I join the Green Gang, I would like to ask the fourth master and the brothers in the gang not to ask about my background and personal affairs, and my subordinates will not be ordered by the Green Gang.

Li Sibiao frowned slightly, stared at him for a while, and then said: Good!I believe you are a good man.As long as the affairs of you and your subordinates do not endanger the gang, I will never get involved.Zhao Guanting agreed readily, and said with a smile: "If Si Ye has a word, I'm relieved."Li Sibiao also smiled, and stretched out his hand, the two of them shook hands, looked at each other and smiled. At this time, Baihuamen was very stable under the management of Zhao Guan and the five elders, and the Qiu family still did not reveal any clues. nothing else.Unexpectedly, Li Sibiao admired him so much, and he actually wanted to recommend him to be the leader of the Youth Gang, which was beyond his expectation.The Green Gang is known as the number one gang in the world, and its influence spreads far and wide. Zhao Guan is already the master of the Hundred Flowers Sect, so he doesn't care for the position of the altar master, but he likes the blood and righteousness of the gang brothers. Instead of?He thought to himself that no matter what decision he made, the safety of Baihuamen must be the first consideration.His identity as the head of the Hundred Flowers Sect is still very secretive. If he wants to keep this secret, being the head of the Youth Gang is an excellent cover.No one would have thought that a person with a position in the Youth Gang and a considerable status on the stage would have anything to do with the secretive and eerie Baihuamen.

After Zhao Guan returned to Jiangjiazhuang, he summoned five elders, Zi Jiang, Qing Zhu, Lan Er, Xiao Ju, and Mei Mei, to tell about Li Sibiao's invitation to join the Green Gang and ask for their opinions.Lan'er first strongly agreed, saying: "The Green Gang has great influence, and the head of the sect can take charge of the Green Gang, which is of great benefit to the protection of the sect." Qingzhu asked: If the head of the sect joins the Green Gang, how will he take care of the affairs of the sect?Zhao Guandao: Xin Wutan is located in Nanchang, not far from here.I always come back to Hangzhou for ten days in a month. The elders can decide all matters in the family, and major matters can be decided after I return to Hangzhou.

Zi Jiang asked: If the head of the sect becomes the altar master of the Qing Gang, will our Baihua Sect submit to the Qing Gang in the future? Zhao Guandao: No.My Baihuamen is still independent and not under the command of the Green Gang.I have my own brothers in the Qing Gang to instigate me, if it is not necessary, I will never bother the Baihuamen people with the affairs of the Qing Gang.I have already told Fourth Master Li about this matter, and he also promised not to pursue my details. The women discussed for a while, and they all felt that Zhao Guan's joining the Green Gang was a risky move, which might reveal his identity, but if used properly, it would bring great benefits to Baihuamen, so they all agreed.

Seeing that the girls no longer had any doubts, Zhao Guan went back to Li Sibiao the next day and said: "Si Ye intends to attract the younger generation to join the gang, and the younger generation should obey orders rather than be respectful."Li Sibiao was extremely happy, stroked his beard and smiled, and said repeatedly: "Okay, okay!" One morning a few months later, Li Sibiao officially opened the altar to welcome Zhao Guan into the gang.The ceremony for joining the Green Gang was extremely cumbersome. Half a month ago, an introduction teacher led Zhao Guan to meet the natal master. His introduction and the second natal master were both introduced by Li Sibiao, a senior veteran of the gang.Afterwards, I went to see my master and my wife, and asked for the horoscope of my parents' birthday, which is called recognizing the door.Li Sibiao respected Zhao Guan very much, and didn't let him become a teacher, and directly opened a good door for him to receive him as a disciple of the Qing Gang, also known as the threshold for entry.

On the day of the opening of the Shanmen Gate, the Armored Martial Arts Arena was extremely lively, and there were always five or six hundred people from the Qing Gang who came to watch the ceremony.In the altar, there is a memorial tablet for the gods and masters of the kings, relatives and teachers of heaven and earth, with portraits of the ancestor Bodhidharma and the founder of the Qing Gang, the three old and the four young, on both sides with huge couplets of integrity and loyalty.Under the guidance of an incense master, Zhao Guan first burned incense in front of the tablet of the god, and recited the incense words; then went to light the candles, read the words of invitation, and then bowed three times and kowtowed nine times to the god’s tablet, read the words of family law, and read out oath.Finally, take a sip of water, which is called Jingkou.

After the ceremony, Li Sibiao gave him a copy of the seabed, that is, the ID of the members of the Green Gang.It was a red booklet with four gold characters of loyalty and long life written on the cover, and on the first page was a picture of a grain ship with a small flag on it, with a yellow triangular logo painted on it, and a yellow tooth shape on the edge Decoration; the second page is the portrait of the master, and the third page is the portrait of Zhao Guan and his legal name in the Green Gang.Zhao Guan is regarded as the sixth generation disciple of the Qing Gang. According to the ranking of Qing, Jing, Dao, De, Wen, Cheng, Buddha, and Fa, he became the Dharma character and named Jiang Chengjie. Zhao Guan also went through some ceremonies when he was introduced by his mother to Baihuamen, but it couldn't compare with the red tape and pomp of the Green Gang.He took his own seabed, flipped through a few pages, found it interesting, and thought to himself: I have another name, Zhao Guan.Zhao Guan no longer knew if it was my real name, and with the addition of Shangguan Qianhui, Jiang He and Jiang Chengjie, even I couldn't figure out what my name was. After getting started, Li Sibiao told his daughter to lead Zhao Guan to familiarize himself with the rules of the gang.Li Huamei told Zhao Guan the origin of the Green Gang, the deeds of the three founders, the old and the young, etc., and said: "The members of the Green Gang can travel all over the country with a copy of the seabed, and they are taken care of and protected everywhere."If you encounter bandits and robbers on the underworld when you are traveling, just say: "There is a cloud in the sky in the northwest, and a lotus flower is full of pots. Go up and beat the king, go down and beat the ministers, and don't hit Anqing's family."Or the boss doesn't need to arrest me, the three elders and the four young ones please listen to the truth, I don't have any gold, silver and treasure, and a quick knife will not kill the whole family.The robber will spare your life and even give you money. Zhao Guan nodded, but thought in his heart: Compared with the prestige in the underworld, the Green Gang is far inferior to my Baihuamen.Hey, if I show Shangguan Qianhui's name, the people in the underworld will be scared to death, not to mention giving money, I will chop off my hands and send it up. When he was alone with Li Huamei, he couldn't help smiling at her playfully.Li Huamei maintained her usual reserve and said: Brother Jiang, I am very happy that you joined our gang.We are brothers and sisters in the same gang at the moment, but we must respect each other and not exceed the etiquette.Zhao Guan said solemnly: I joined the gang for you, so naturally I have to respect you more from now on.Li Huamei blushed, turned her head and spat: You are not serious!But I couldn't help but secretly rejoice. However, it is said that one month after Zhao Guan joined the Green Gang, he became the leader of the Xin Wu Tan altar with the strong recommendation of Li Sibiao and the support of his brother Xin Wu Tan.Brothers in the Xin Wutan who have seen Zhao Guan's methods all admire him very much; those who have not seen him make a move in person, seeing that he is only a handsome young man in his twenties, they can't help secretly dissatisfied. Zhao Guan had experienced the period when he was the head of Baihuamen for the first time, and he was dissatisfied. He knew that to subdue these bloody men, he had to rely on faith and bravery, and do some great things for everyone, so he was not in a hurry. Advocate, often drink and laugh with the brothers in the gang, familiarize yourself with everyone's background and temperament, and learn about grain shipping.He was smart at first, and after a few boat trips with his brother, he got a clear picture of the food transportation route, the cost of profit sources, and the joints along the way, which is even more familiar than the veterans in the gang. Seeing that he doesn't put on airs, that he is modest and inquisitive, and that he can drink a lot, the members of Xin Wutan gradually regard him as their brother and support him wholeheartedly.Li Sibiao was very satisfied when he saw that Zhao Guan had stabilized the brothers in the altar within a few months, he knew that he had seen the right person, this young man was indeed much smarter than his apprentice and other subordinates.
