PS: Regarding the update time and speed, Lao Chu will promptly explain it in the author announcement in the upper right corner of the home page of the work. No need to bother asking everywhere.
"Okay. Blame me..." Liang Xiangyu didn't dare to say anything. He could only say: "I'm just telling you. It's nothing. I'm hanging up."
Hong Xue threw her phone aside and hurriedly packed her schoolbag. Hong Yi happened to come over and asked strangely: "What are you doing?"
"I'm going to school."
Hong Xue has not been in class for several days, which makes Hong Yi a little anxious.
Every time Hong Xue was urged to go to school, Hong Xue always used the excuse that there was something wrong with the gang. But Hong Yi didn't see Hong Xue busy. He just sat at home in a daze every day.
Now Hong Xue takes the initiative to go to school. Hong Yi is very happy. But if he knew why Hong Xue suddenly changed his gender, Hong Yi would not be happy again.
Hong Xue was about to go out with her schoolbag. Wang Hongwei came in: "Boss, the fire snake wants to see you."
"That crony of Yang Ze." Hong Xue didn't know what happened to Yang Ze. She felt very strange: "What is he here for? Is Yang Ze here too?"
"He is the only one." Wang Hongwei shook his head: "I asked him what happened, but he refused to tell me. He insisted on coming to see you."
"Let him come in." Hong Xue threw her schoolbag on the sofa and said impatiently. She was not willing to see the fire snake. But her experience in the world told her that when her subordinates jumped to the door, there must be something important.
The fire snake immediately appeared in front of Hong Xue. His body was covered with scars, which shocked Hong Xue: "What did you do? Who did you fight with?"
"My matters are not important. I came here to tell the boss..." After a pause, the fire snake said word by word: "Please open the incense hall."
Hong Xue was stunned when she heard this.
In her impression, she seemed to remember such a thing. She seemed to have seen her father do it when she was a child. But she had no clue about further information.
For a moment, she almost wanted to ask Huo Snake: "What is Xiangtang? You regard my place as the Heaven and Earth Club." But when the words came to her lips, she swallowed them back, because Huo Snake didn't seem to be joking. He could come here. There must be a reason for saying this.
Hong Yi took a long sigh and said in a very low voice: "I haven't heard this word for many years..."
Wang Hongwei and Huo She didn't hear Hong Yi's words clearly. But Hong Xue heard: "Dad, what did you say?"
"Come here..." Hong Yi gestured to Hong Xue to come aside, making sure that neither Wang Hongwei nor the Fire Snake could hear. Hong Yi then said to Hong Xue: "Actually, the underworld has a lot of knowledge and anecdotes. I have always wanted to tell them. Listen, Ling Cang once mentioned the Ge Lao Hui. I don’t want to involve him, so I only gave a rough outline. Now that someone has mentioned it again, let me talk about it in detail..."
Hong Xue nodded immediately: "Okay."
"As early as the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, some righteous men formed secret societies among the people in order to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty. The largest of them was the Tiandihui. Later, the Tiandihui evolved into Hongmen and developed everywhere in China..."
"I know this. It is mentioned in the movie. It is said that five children were trapped by the Qing soldiers. Chen Jinnan of the Tiandihui rescued them. They spread out and developed their power everywhere. Gradually, Hongmen was formed..." After thinking for a while, Hong Xue continued: "It seems to be called the Five Patriarchs of Shaolin...but this is a movie."
"The movie is based on folklore. The content is mostly based on speculation or speculation. But the context is generally correct. The Tiandihui and the Hongmen are actually the same organization. There are other names. For example, the Three Points Society and the Triad Society." There was a pause. Hong Yi went on to introduce: "The organizational structure of Hongmen is very loose and has developed into many factions. Each of the mountaintops has many gangs. The largest faction of Hongmen is the Ge Lao Hui. The Ge Lao Hui was formed in Bashu based on local conditions. At the top of the mountain is Pao Ge. At the peak of history, the Bashu Ge Laohui's power covered the entire Bashu land. If the children of Sichuan origin at that time did not join the Ge Laohui, they would have no way to gain a foothold in society. Today, most people know that there is the 'Sichuan Gang'. In fact, A considerable part of the Sichuan Gang is related to Ge Lao Hui. For example, ours. The predecessor of Hong Ming Gang is Hong Ming Tang. The predecessor of Hong Ming Tang is Zhi Zi Tang of Ge Lao Hui."
"Ah." Hong Xue was dumbfounded. She didn't expect that the fabricated things in the movie were inextricably linked to her real life.
"The Bashu Brother Association is divided into five halls. They carry five-color flags respectively. They use benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom, and trust as their signs. There are many docks under the entrance of each hall. That is, they occupy a piece of land or have a boss who helps them. However, the earliest At that time, it was called Wutang, but it was actually three halls. Zhizitang and Xinzitang belonged to Lizitang. Having said so much, you should be able to imagine that the personnel structure of Ge Laohui is very complicated. Therefore, the five halls are actually under the jurisdiction of Members of different classes. Of course. Isn't it possible to distinguish between different halls? There must be differences, but generally they are not bad. For example, Renzitang is mostly made up of squires, landlords, petty officials and other relatively prestigious people; Yizitang Tang is a kind of hero, a variety of people who work in the rivers and lakes to make a living. There are also soldiers. Most of the Sichuan troops who went out to fight in Sichuan belonged to Yizitang; as for Lizitang, the members are more complicated. Most of them are workers, farmers and coolies and other lower-class people..." After taking a look at Wang Hongwei and Huo She, he made sure that both of them were standing at a distance. Hong Yicai then told Hong Xue: "Later, my grandfather, your great-grandfather, separated Zhizitang from Lizitang. come out."
Hong Xue was completely attracted and asked hurriedly: "What do we do here?"
"Scholars, that is, intellectuals. Although there are not many of these people joining the Ge Laohui, there are also quite a few. Most of them are concentrated in our Zhizitang..."
“No wonder it’s called ‘wisdom’. It actually lives up to its name.”
"In addition, our Zhizitang also has... in today's terms, it is a bureaucracy and various businessmen. However, later, Xinzitang branched off from Zhizitang and took away a large number of businessmen." He said At this point, there is still a bit of regret: "With the development of the times, the people in Xinzitang have turned into compradors and monopoly chaebols. The largest number of people in our Zhizitang are small and medium-sized capitalists..."
"No wonder..." Hong Xue nodded in understanding: "You have always asked me to study hard. It turns out that it is a gang tradition. You are so enthusiastic about taking shares in Century Group. It is also to make up for the regrets of the past."
"Yes." Hong Yi nodded: "Each tang operates various legal or illegal businesses. There is a lot of overlap between them. However, there are also some differences. For example, Yizitang often robs homes and houses, cheats and abducts. . And drug trafficking. We at Zhizitang mainly rely on our brainpower to make a living. For example, we set up bets and cheats. We often sell private salt. However, we are determined not to touch drugs."
"Then how did Zhizitang become the Hongming Gang?"
"About sixty years ago, the Chinese mainland ushered in an earth-shaking revolution. The other four churches had already begun to fight overseas with all their strength a long time ago. The remaining ones were wiped out by the new government after the victory of the revolution. It can be said that. Not only our Bashu Ge Lao Hui, but the entire Ge Lao Hui faction and even other organizations under Hongmen have not been able to escape. However, our Zhizitang did not leave. We used various covert methods to survive with difficulty. Just to be in harmony with the old society. Draw a clear line. Your grandfather changed the name to Hong Mingtang because our surname is Hong and we have a certain relationship with the Hongmen. And your grandfather is short of gold in the five elements." Hong Yi was completely immersed in the memory of the past, and his expression became very serious. Sadly: "When I was young, I felt that it was difficult to achieve anything in Bashu, so I took my robe buddies to the north. Hong Ming Tang became the Hong Ming Gang again."
"So that's what happened." Hong Xue really didn't expect that the Hong Ming Gang had such a historical heritage.
"About the evolution of Hongmen's major factions and their relationships with each other, as well as the Ge Laohui, it is enough to write several million-word masterpieces. I will tell you this for now. If you are interested, you can further investigate on your own. I hope you To have a full understanding. These not only involve the past of the family and gangs, but also may..." At this point, Hong Yi's expression became heavy: "One day, the other four Tang will come back. They will be enemies by then. It’s hard to tell whether we are friends.”
"I understand." Hong Xue nodded thoughtfully: "By the way, what did he mean by opening an incense hall just now?"
"There are two important ceremonies in the Brother's Association. One is the Kaishan Hall. The other is the Kaixiang Hall. The Kaishan Hall. To put it bluntly, it is the founding of the sect. From then on, it established its own church. When your great-grandfather built the Zhizi Hall, it was the founding of the mountain. As for the opening of the incense hall, it is used to hold major events, such as inviting family members, accepting disciples or welcoming distinguished guests."
"I know what to do." Hong Xue nodded and turned back to the fire snake: "Why open the incense hall?"
Fire Snake didn't know what Hong Yi and Hong Xue said. He had been waiting there in fear. When he heard Hong Xue's question, he quickly answered: "Please help me."
"What are you doing?"
"Punish Yang Ze."
"Your boss." Hong Xue frowned: "Why."
"Killing fellow brothers."
"who."
"Zhang Keba and Shen Zizi." Taking a deep breath, the fire snake replied with all his strength: "The two of them were kidnapped by Yang Ze because Yang Ze wanted to annex their power."
"Really..." Hong Xue didn't appear particularly surprised when he heard this, because Hong Xue suddenly realized that the biggest beneficiary of the disappearance of Zhang Keba and Shen Zizi was Yang Ze. In other words, Yang Ze was There is no escape from the relationship in this matter.
"Fire Snake, your accusation is very serious. You have to know..." Hong Yi walked over with a very serious expression and said slowly: "According to the gang rules, killing a fellow sect member requires three swords and six holes. But Yang If Ze has never done such a thing, if you frame a brother from the same family, it will still cost you three swords and six holes."
Even if Hong Yi didn't say this, the fire snake also understood the seriousness of the problem. He took a few deep breaths and thought to himself: "Ling Cang, victory or defeat depends on this. Don't cheat me..." Then. He raised his head high and told Hong Yi categorically: "Zhang Keba and Shen Zizi were indeed kidnapped by Yang Ze. I was one of the people who did it."
