Although Song Haotian was also angry about Lei Zhenyue and his son scheming against his daughter, at Song Haotian's level, the issues he considered were no longer simply about financial gains and losses.
As the largest sect in the Chinese world, Hongmen has already withdrawn from China, but it has a great influence in Europe, especially the United States.
As mentioned above, Hongmen has been able to influence some decisions of American politicians at certain times, which is absolutely crucial for developing China.
The exchanges between the Song family and the Hongmen overseas were all facilitated by Song Haotian. Over the past twenty years, the Hongmen have indeed made great contributions to some domestic diplomatic activities.
So when he heard that Ye Tian went to the United States, changes occurred within Hongmen, and Lei Zhenyue and others who had good relations with China in the past had withdrawn from the historical stage of Hongmen, which made Song Haotian furious.
And this incident even alarmed the top leader. If the news hadn't come two days later, Du Fei, who took over the Hongmen, was also someone who had a close relationship with the Song family. I'm afraid Ye Tian would have revealed the truth this time.
There's a big hole.
"Mom, that old man is stamping his feet at home, what does it have to do with me?" Ye Tian curled his lips when he heard this and asked: "How is your business over there? Is the loss big?"
"The financial loss is nothing, but if people's hearts are broken, it will be difficult to lead the team in the future!"
Song Weilan smiled bitterly and shook her head. Although the funds had been withheld, it would take at least more than half a year to get them back.
The illegal operation of the trust fund made many old officials who followed him in starting a business feel disheartened. If Song Weilan hadn't arrived in time, the huge business empire might have fallen apart.
Song Weilan knew that her son was not interested in these things, so she explained a little and said: "Son, I estimate that I will stay in New York for a while. When I handle this matter, I will never come here again."
"Mom, it's okay. I have to stay in San Francisco for a while. I will go to New York to find you after I finish my work."
Ye Tian nodded, and seeing more and more people arriving, he immediately said to his mother: "Let's go in. People in this world wash their hands in golden basins. I don't know what kind of fun you are joining in?"
Song Weilan glared at Ye Tian and said: "You kid, mom knows you are capable, but Uncle Lei has taken good care of mom these years, and you won't be rude for a while."
"Okay, I understand, why don't I just shut up and act like a mute later on?"
Ye Tian shook his head indifferently, greeted the Hongmen disciples around him, and walked to the garden in the center of the manor.
The place was already buzzing with people. Almost all the big guys from all over the country who had participated in the Hongmen Conference in the past few days were here. In the practice ground in the middle of the garden, dozens of tables and chairs were arranged in two rows.
Some junior Hongmen disciples were busy serving tea and pouring water, while today's protagonist, Lei Zhenyue, was standing at the entrance of the garden, constantly greeting the guests who came.
In addition, there were some Xingtang disciples with bulging waistlines, wandering around the periphery of the garden. They were afraid that someone would come to cause trouble.
You must know that washing hands in the golden basin means officially withdrawing from the Jianghu, and will no longer interfere in the disputes in the Jianghu, and the previous grievances in the Jianghu will also be wiped out.
Therefore, if others have a deep grudge against Lei Zhenyue, they must resolve it before he washes his hands in the golden basin. Otherwise, when his hands are put into the basin, he will no longer be able to seek revenge against Lei Zhenyue.
Therefore, in the world before liberation, there were many cases of washing hands in golden basins, but not many were able to carry out the ceremony safely. There were even several times when blood was spattered on the spot during the ceremony, and tragedies occurred.
Lei Zhenyue has experienced countless battles. Although most of them were conflicts between foreign gangs, there were also some enemies from the domestic martial arts world. Therefore, during his golden basin hand-washing ceremony, the Hongmen disciple who was responsible for the vigilance work was all Rulinda
The enemy is general.
"Master Ye..."
Ye Tian's tall figure stood out in the crowd. After Lei Zhenyue came up to greet him, he realized that Song Weilan was also here. His old face couldn't help but blush and said: "Weilan, it's Uncle Lei who did something stupid this time. I believe it."
Uncle Lei is sorry for other people's slander!"
If it were Lei Zhenyue from before, he would not admit his mistakes even if he was beaten to death, but after his cultivation reached the realm of transformation, he would take a dim view of many things.
"Uncle Lei, it's Weilan's fault. I didn't come to visit you more often during that time, which caused the misunderstanding." Song Weilan has always respected Lei Zhenyue, and she has always blamed herself very much after this incident happened.
"Stop talking, Uncle Lei is very happy that you can come to participate in Uncle Lei's golden basin hand washing ceremony!"
Lei Zhenyue looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, then his face became gloomy and said: "Your nephew eats everything inside and outside. He is not a good thing. Wei Lan, do you want Uncle Lei to help you take care of him?"
To say that this incident was all caused by Song Xiaolong, no matter how broad-minded Lei Zhenyue was, he wanted to rip off Song Xiaolong's skin and cut him into pieces.
Before Song Weilan could speak, Ye Tian responded first: "Elder Lei, I won't trouble you about this matter, we will handle it!"
After being tricked by Song Xiaolong several times, Ye Tian's tolerance reached the extreme. After he was ready to end his time in the United States, he would go to Africa and settle the grudge with his own hands.
"Okay, then I won't interfere, Lao Lei." Lei Zhenyue laughed and said, "You two sit inside and drink tea first, Lao Lei, I will greet the other guests."
After taking a look at her son's face, Song Weilan sighed, but didn't say anything. She followed Ye Tian and sat down on the chair at the top.
More than ten minutes later, Lei Zhenyue saw that people had almost arrived. He stopped in the middle of the venue and said loudly: "Dear Hongmen brothers and fellow Chinese compatriots, thank you all for coming to participate in the golden basin hand-washing ceremony of me, Lei Zhenyue!"
Lei Zhenyue is the vice-president of Hongmen and a close disciple of "Arm Saint" Chuck. He is also closely related to overseas martial arts. Therefore, in addition to people from Hongmen, there are also people from major martial arts schools in the United States.
principal.
"I, Lei Zhenyue, have been in the rivers and lakes for seventy years and killed countless people. Today I wash my hands in a golden basin, but I have settled my grudges in the past. However, any friends who have an unsolvable grudge against me, Mr. Lei, can come forward and stab me!"
Lei Zhenyue's voice was very loud. Even without a microphone, the loud voice reached everyone's ears.
Following the words, Lei Zhenyue turned over and took out the silver knife, thrust it into the square table in front of him, and said: "Old Lei, I will give you dozens of blows. After ten blows, all grudges will be cleared!"
When a Jianghu man washes his hands in a golden basin, he not only needs to invite his friends to watch the ceremony, but also his enemies. Otherwise, his enemies will not admit his guilt and may seek revenge on him even after he washes his hands in a golden basin.
"1,2,3..." Lei Zhenyue didn't count very fast, and it took him almost seven or eight seconds to shout out a number.
With Lei Zhenyue's shouts, the crowd became excited. You know, the Chinese are famous for their disunity, and martial arts schools especially like to make trouble for each other. Lei Zhenyue, who was known as the martial arts madman, could
I often do this.
"Thunder Tiger, back then my father was hit by you and died in bed for half a year. He was inferior in skills and had nothing to say. Let's just spit out this grudge!"
When Lei Zhenyue counted to six, a middle-aged man in his early forties walked out of the crowd and spit a mouthful of thick phlegm into Lei Zhenyue's face.
"you dare?!"
Seeing this scene, the Hongmen disciples next to them were all glaring with daggers pointed at them, their eyes bulging, and blood almost came out from their eyes. How could Lei Zhenyue, a hero in his life, have ever been so humiliated?
Some of the old brothers who had followed Lei Zhenyue to conquer the country were already shouting curses before they stepped forward to take action.
"Assistant, a mouthful of phlegm can save a life, Old Lei, I admit it!" Lei Zhenyue shouted loudly and said: "Brothers, you don't want me, Old Lei Jinpen, to die on the street again after washing my hands, right?"
"Brother Lei!"
"Master Lei!!"
Several mournful cries were heard, but those people did not dare to step forward any more. If the middle-aged man was beaten in the field today, Lei Zhenyue's golden basin hand-washing ceremony would have been disturbed by them.
"Nine!"
After calling out the last number, Lei Zhenyue froze, looked around, and said: "If there is no one else, Lei will withdraw from the world. From now on, the disputes in the world will have nothing to do with Lei!"
The Hongmen disciples in the field were so powerful that even some people who had personal grudges against Lei Zhenyue could only swallow their breath. Moreover, the middle-aged man's mouthful of thick phlegm just now also relieved many of their resentments.
The water basin placed in front of Lei Zhenyue was undoubtedly a golden basin. The basin of clear water reflected dazzling golden light. After shouting the number ten, Lei Zhenyue put his hands into the golden basin.
Washing his hands back and forth in the golden basin, Lei Zhenyue looked at Ye Tian and said: "I have been in the rivers and lakes for decades and killed many people. I am able to live today and have a good death. It is all thanks to the gift of Ye Tian. Please also ask Ye Tian."
Please wipe Lei’s hands!”
When the ceremony of washing hands in a golden basin is completed, a respected senior must be asked to wipe his hands. This also has the meaning of notarization. If anyone wants to cause trouble for the person who washed the hands again in the future, this senior will intervene.
Lei Zhenyue asked Ye Tian to wipe his hands, which meant nothing more than asking Ye Tian to let Lei Hu go. Ye Tian understood this and stood up immediately.
Looking at Lei Zhenyue, Ye Tian sighed and said: "Elder Lei, Lei Hu has straight lines on his nose, spiral eyebrows, and narrow eyelids. His numerology is not very good. You have to trap him for five years, otherwise he will be killed.
!”
The straight lines on the tip of the nose represent the carcasses divided by five horses, the spiral eyebrows, and the narrow eyelids indicate that the person has a bad temper and a narrow mind. According to Ye Tian's physiognomy, Lei Hu is considered lucky if he can survive to this day.
"Thank you, Mr. Ye, for reminding me. Lei will be strictly disciplined when he goes back!"
Lei Zhenyue was shocked when he heard this. He did not dare to be careless in the slightest about what Li Shanyuan, a disciple of the master of physiognomy, said.
