Text Chapter 554 Opening the Incense Hall
The next day, the Lu Family Ancestral Hall in the eastern suburbs of Anrong City.
Lu Family Ancestral Hall is just a place name, because there used to be a magnificent Lu Family Ancestral Hall here, but now the Lu Family Ancestral Hall has long been dilapidated and rebuilt. Now a large Chinese-style house has been built here called "Shengshi Yezhai".
Obviously, this prosperous Yezhai should be one of the Ye family's properties. However, the Ye family may have wanted to avoid suspicion, so the ownership of the house actually fell on a rich man in Anrong City. Last night, Lu Qingshan found this rich man and asked him to sell the house. After the rich man knew Lu Qingshan's identity, he agreed without saying a word.
So this morning, the name of this house has been changed to "Legendary Lu House". This is to indicate to many people that the Lu family is back and that the underground forces in Anrong City now have the surname Lu.
At the same time, Lu Qingshan posted a post about the opening of Xiangtang, preparing to announce to the people in Anrong City that he, Lu Qingshan, had taken over Wolongtang and Wuyitang. From then on, Wolongtang's surname was "Lu" again.
There are many rules for opening an incense hall in Ge Lao Hui, and they are divided into two types: big incense hall and small incense hall. There is no doubt that this time Lu Qingshan comes back, he will definitely open a big incense hall.
However, when opening a Daxiangtang, the rules are very cumbersome, and the elders of the Ge Laohui are required to be present. However, there are not many elders of the Ge Laohui nowadays. The few remaining elders were also killed by the Ye family last time, so this time Lu Qingshan went big Xiangtang is in somewhat desolate condition.
Fortunately, Lu Qingshan was lucky enough to find an elder of the Ge Laohui in the Lu Clan Ancestral Hall. This old man was over 100 years old. He suffered from severe cataracts and was basically blind. Moreover, the Ye family was in charge of Wolong. After entering the court, the opinions of these elders were not respected at all, so the old man was basically ignored.
This old man's name is Xie Deyuan. He used to be a member of the Ge Lao Hui Hall, and the gang members respectfully call him "Boss Xie." The people in the auditorium are naturally responsible for writing documents and formulating the rules and etiquette of the gang, which can be regarded as the "civilian duties" in the gang. Although Xie Deyuan does not know Kung Fu, his status in the gang is very high. In the past, the rules of the gang were very strict. The only ones who could be called "boss" in the gang were the chief and deputy leaders in the gang, as well as sitting in the hall, accompanying the hall, and the auditorium. Only the elders such as , Xingtang, Zhitang, Huyin, and Xiangchang can be called "boss", followed by titles such as Sage Lao Er, Hongqi Lao Wu, etc. In short, the title represents the status in the gang.
Although Xie Deyuan didn't know Kung Fu, since he was "Boss Xie", he was naturally very unusual in the gang back then. Although Boss Xie doesn't know kung fu, he once served as a civil servant in the Republic of China and was considered a true "educated person". There were not many educated people in that era, so Xie Deyuan was indeed respected by the gang brothers.
It's a pity that those past years can only be kept in Xie Deyuan's memory. The now down-and-out "Boss Xie" never thought that he would be able to reappear in front of everyone as the boss of Ge Laohui and accept the respect of everyone in his lifetime. , even though his eyes can no longer see clearly, he can feel this feeling of being superior and being valued, and this feeling is really good.
Indeed, Xie Deyuan stood in the middle of the lobby of the house in a white gown, presiding over various gang etiquette, with his white hair flowing, and he really had an indescribable majesty.
Now Xie Deyuan is the only remaining veteran in Pingchuan Province, but his appearance finally made the opening of the Xiangtang feel much more "official". In addition, although the other elders are gone, their descendants and disciples dare to come to support him, so they can be regarded as decent.
Lu Qingshan once said that the descendants or disciples of the elders who supported him before were unwilling to support Lu Qingshan, because the descendants and disciples of these elders were very realistic and believed that it was impossible for Lu Qingshan to take charge of Wolong Hall and Ge Laohui again. , so these juniors will never engage in "loss-making business." But now, knowing that Lu Qingshan has taken control of Wolong Hall and Wuyi Hall, these people took the initiative to come to congratulate him, because they all realized that it would be beneficial to have a good relationship with Lu Qingshan.
The reality is that there are very few people in this world who can provide help in times of need, but there are many people who are willing to add the icing on the cake.
Lu Qingshan is used to seeing the warmth and coldness of the world, and he is very clear about the appearance of these people, but he still greets them with a smile. If the other party is willing to add icing on the cake, then let him add icing on the cake. Good to see you in the future.
This time, Lu Qingshan is the absolute protagonist of the opening of Xiangtang. Naturally, Qin Lang will not steal the limelight. However, Qin Lang naturally took part in this incident. On the one hand, he wanted to congratulate Lu Qingshan, and on the other hand, he wanted to sit here to avoid anything. People come to cause trouble. After all, Lu Qingshan had just taken over Wolong Hall and Wuyi Hall, so it was possible that the Ye family would find this opportunity to take revenge.
This time, the ceremony of opening the incense hall was carried out in an orderly manner under the auspices of Xie Deyuan. Speaking of which, there was no time to rehearse this matter, and Xie Deyuan had not hosted it for decades, but he quickly got into the mood and even gave people the impression that he was more powerful and elegant than decades ago. .
The most important thing about opening the Xiangtang this time is to confirm Lu Qingshan as the successor of Ge Laohui. Not only that, Lu Qingshan is also the leader of Wolong Hall, responsible for the management and revival of the entire gang. As for the people in Wuyi Hall, they are all under the banner of Wolong Hall.
This time, the structure of Wolong Hall has completely restored its previous structure. The gang is divided into eight inner halls and eight outer halls. The eight inner halls are Longtang, Mengtang, Xiangtang, Sitting Hall, Accompanying Hall, Auditorium, and Executive Hall. There are twelve "grandpas" in the eight inner halls, equivalent to twelve elders. Among them, Xie Deyuan still serves as The "uncle" of the auditorium. These "big men" are the bosses of the gang, and they are almost as powerful as one person and more than ten thousand people.
The outer eight halls are divided into ten sequences, also known as "ten cards" and "ten factions", but in fact there are still only eight cards because gang members taboo rankings of "four" and "seven". Therefore, the eight outer halls only include Master Paiba, Second Master Shengxian, and Third Master Henghou. Next, there is the fifth steward, the sixth patrol, the eighth discipline outline, the ninth listing, and the tenth camp gate.
The Inner Eight Halls and the Outer Eight Halls each perform their own duties, forming a big gang with clear rules.
As for Qin Lang, he became the guest elder of Ge Laohui. Lu Qingshan also delivered an ancestral gang letter money to Qin Lang in front of everyone. This one had a gossip diagram on the back and the words "Jinlandu County" on the front. The word's letter money is equivalent to the token of Ge Laohui. This means that Qin Lang, the guest elder, has the right to supervise the entire gang and can "clean up the house" on behalf of the gang leader when necessary.
Some people who didn't know Qin Lang's origins didn't care about Qin Lang, the guest elder, at first. After all, many gangs had such guests. But then they saw Lu Qingshan giving letter money to Lu Qingshan in public, and these people realized that Qin Lang This elder Keqing is really not simple, and I feel that he cannot be offended.
The ceremony of opening the incense hall lasted for a full hour before it ended. During this period, no one came to cause trouble. However, something might happen. Qin Lang also asked Monk Jianxiang and Wu Yingmeng to look around, just to worry about trouble.
Fortunately, it all went smoothly.
Until there was a noise at the door of the house.
