After staying at Jinyiwei Inn for one night, Lu Bai left.
He had to pretend that he was busy, otherwise it would be too easy to earn 30% of the money, and he would feel bad about it.
Lu Bai indeed had a lot to be busy with.
He will leave Yongle City in three to five days, and he must take care of the Beggar Clan's affairs.
The Beggar Gang is rising rapidly in Yongle City.
Firstly, beggar gangs are unprecedented, and beggars are often bullied. The emergence of beggar gangs has given many beggars a backbone.
Another reason is because of Lu Bai.
After hearing that Jin Yiwei, who solved the series of beheadings, was the leader of the Beggar Gang, the Beggar Gang's reputation in the world increased.
More and more people are giving food to beggars.
They sincerely thanked Lu Bai.
The indiscriminate killings in serial beheading cases make everyone feel insecure and live in fear all day long. Some people even dare not sleep at night.
Lu Bai's solving of the case undoubtedly saved them from being in constant panic.
The rapid growth of the Beggar Clan did not make Lu Bai complacent.
Instead, he was walking on thin ice.
On this day, he summoned the four elders and several key members of the Beggar Clan and gathered in a dilapidated temple to discuss matters.
Among the four elders, two elders were brought by Lu Bai from Yancheng.
One is the elder who teaches kung fu to the beggars.
One is the law enforcement elder, responsible for enforcing the gang rules formulated by Lu Bai.
The remaining two elders are locals of Yongle City. They are smart, capable and loyal to the Beggar Clan.
The key point is that they are very upright and have a high reputation among beggars. Before the Beggar Gang was established, they were the elders who handled disputes among the beggars.
As for the backbone.
The young Pei Qing is the helmsman of Yongle City.
He is also a native of Yongle City.
Pei Qing's parents died when he was young, and he lived on the streets begging for a living when he was four or five years old. He grew up among beggars.
As he grew older, he had some strength and went to the dock to work as a coolie and earn some money.
As a result, he turned around and gave it to his beggar brothers.
He was an upright and generous man, but because he could not stand the boss on the dock whipping the coolies carrying the bags with a whip, he beat the boss, so he could no longer work at the dock and returned to the beggar's den.
He was a minor leader among the beggars. Later, after hearing the beggars' ideas, he led his brothers to defect to Lu Bai.
"The Beggars Gang is not my own, nor yours, but the Beggars' Gang of all beggars." Lu Bai emphasized again, "So, protecting beggars is our first priority, so any action that goes against this
, are not allowed.”
"In addition, our goal is to have no beggars in the world. We respectfully send all our brothers away. For the brothers who have left, we can help them seek justice and help the strong and the weak, but we will never seek personal gain for anyone." Lu Bai said.
The elders and helmsmen nodded unanimously.
But the helmsman Pei Qing had doubts.
He asked: "Gang leader, for our brothers from the Beggar Clan to practice martial arts, the Beggar Clan pays for everything. If their wings become stiff and they leave the Beggar Clan, what should we do?"
Lu Bai had already considered this.
Gu Qinghuan has formulated detailed rules for the Beggar Clan's martial arts disciples.
"All the disciples who practice martial arts in our Beggar Clan are the disciples of the leader. If these disciples leave the Beggar Clan, they will have to pay all the expenses incurred by the Beggar Clan to train them. Of course, those with meritorious service can offset it. But after leaving the Beggar Clan, they still have to abide by the leader.
According to the sect rules, if anyone does evil, every member of the Beggar Clan will catch him and punish him," said the law enforcement elder.
As the elite selected by Gu Qinghuan from many disciples of the Beggar Clan in Yancheng, and trained by Gu Qinghuan, the law enforcement elders are very familiar with these.
The helmsman Pei Qing nodded.
He was relieved now.
Pei Qing mainly worries about money.
Today Lu Bai brought another batch of silver to the Beggar Clan.
Pei Qing did not get dizzy because of so much money. Instead, he controlled it very tightly, fearing that he would betray Lu Bai's trust.
"The next step is the development plan of our Beggar Gang in Yongle City. As the saying goes, a great knight serves the country and the people. We, the Beggar Gang, must keep this sentence in mind. Of course, serving the country is still far away, but serving the people has a lot to do.
There are things you can do. If any of our disciples encounter water, floods, or sacrifice their lives to forget the dead, they will all raise their bags."
As for the rest——
Lu Bai stretched out a finger and said, "One word, slow."
"slow?"
The elders and helmsmen were stunned.
Lu Bai just gave them so much money, and he thought he was letting them work harder.
Lu Bai said: "Slowness does not mean inaction."
The foundation of the Beggar Clan is still shallow, and many of its disciples are defenseless, and there are not many disciples who know Kung Fu. It may seem like they have a lot of people, but they are actually paper tigers.
"So for some things, you have to slow down and figure it out slowly, and don't rush it." Lu Bai warned.
Yongle City is different from Yancheng.
Lu Bai could be lawless in Yancheng, but he was beyond his reach in Yongle City.
Furthermore, Yongle City is a border city, located on a major transportation road, and has many forces. A little carelessness may lead to disaster for this little seedling of the Beggar Gang.
"Remember, remember, there will be no gang of beggars when there are no beggars in the world. We still have a long way to go," Lu Bai said.
Several elders and the helmsman nodded solemnly.
"Okay."
Lu Bai stood up and stretched out, "There is only one thing left to do, and then we can start dinner."
He could already smell the aroma of rice.
The helmsman Pei Qing glanced at Lu Bai, "Gang leader, do you want to eat here?"
Lu Bai chuckled, "No?"
Pei Qing nodded quickly, "Of course."
He just didn't expect that Lu Bai, a royal guard, would eat their beggar's meal.
Elder Chuan Gong smiled, "You don't know this, right? When we were in Yancheng, the gang leader ate the beggar's rice with gusto. He ate several large bowls at a time, and the brothers who led the beggar gang couldn't help but eat more.
Already."
Pei Qing looked surprised, then smiled and said: "Then it seems that I have to ask the brothers to prepare more food."
Lu Bai chuckled, "That's nothing. When I was a kid, I took a bite of raw fish so that the fishmonger couldn't sell it, and then begged him to give me alms so that I could go back and make fish soup for my sister to replenish her health."
When he lived in Deer Park, he also endured hard times.
Later, after Lu Bai became successful, he got all the dried fish he sold to the cat demon from this fishmonger, and even gave him a dozen baskets of fish as compensation.
Everyone laughed.
The relationship suddenly became much closer.
After laughing, Lu Bai glanced at everyone, "If the Beggar Gang wants to become the Beggar Gang we expect, force is indispensable. I will leave in three or four days, and there is no time to teach martial arts, so I want everyone to choose some reliable and young people.
Disciple, follow me to Yancheng to learn martial arts, and when you return, you will strengthen my beggar gang."
Wow!
The eyes of the elders, helmsmen and backbones became eager.
Kung Fu is the foundation of everything.
If they have kung fu and have skills that are close to their own, they will be able to accomplish many things, and they will have a bright future.
Pei Qing raised his hand, "Gang leader, what do you think of me?"
Lu Bai had taught them some kung fu these days, but it was too superficial. Pei Qing wanted to learn it more deeply.
Lu Bai asked: "You went to Yancheng, what will happen to the beggar gang?"
"There are elders."
Lu Bai shook his head, "The elders each have their own things to do, and your task is very arduous, and you cannot leave Yongle City for the time being."
The helmsman was a little reluctant, "Well, then we can find someone to take over as the helmsman."
Compared to the helmsman, he is actually more interested in kung fu.
Lu Bai shook his head.
For a while he couldn't find a suitable candidate.
Lu Bai pondered for a moment and then said: "Let's do this. You will temporarily practice martial arts with the elder Chuan Gong. During this period, you and the elder will choose the deputy gang leader. After half a year, you will follow the caravan to Yancheng and the deputy gang leader will temporarily take care of the gang.
"
Pei Qing thought about it and thought it was okay, so he agreed.
