Chapter 65: Eight Major Halls, Stop Slandering Me!
Now the Wu League has eight halls: "A, B, C, D, Wu, Ji, Geng, Xin".
Among them, Jiazitang is the part of the demon sect controlled by Suzaku. It is currently focusing on intelligence work. Since its identity has not been announced, it is the most mysterious hall in the Martial Alliance.
But Lu Changsheng doesn’t care for idlers. No matter how mysterious he is, he still has to send me money.
Therefore, Jiazitang only has some sense of existence every time it sends money.
The four entrances of "Yi, Bing, Ding and Wu" correspond to the Jiaolong Club, the Caravan, the Yanyu Pavilion and the Tianying Gate in Sanhe City.
It's just that now the sphere of influence of the four major gangs has expanded to the entire Qingzhou, and is no longer limited to the small Sanhe City.
The Jiaolong Society manages all shipping and docks in Qingzhou.
The caravan is responsible for managing freight in major cities in Qingzhou.
Yanyu Pavilion manages thousands of brothels throughout Qingzhou.
Although the Tianying Sect is a sect, it started as a martial arts school. Even now, the internal operation model is similar to that of a martial arts school. Lu Changsheng simply handed over the management of the martial arts schools in Qingzhou to it.
The Hunyuan Martial Arts School that Lu Changsheng entrusted to Ning Youyou has now become a subordinate force of the Tianying Sect.
Because of his old relationship with Lu Changsheng, he was taken care of quite a bit.
As for the three halls of "Ji Geng Xin", they were newly established halls later.
Jizitang manages nearly a thousand small and medium-sized sects in Qingzhou, and its leader is Chiyang Zhenren, the leader of the Xuanyang Sect.
Xuanyang Sect is a top second-rate sect in Qingzhou. In terms of strength, it is not inferior to Juemingya. There are several masters in the sect.
After Xuanyang Sect took the initiative to join him, Lu Changsheng named his leader Chiyang Zhenren as the leader of Jizi Hall.
Gengzitang manages all chambers of commerce and merchants in Qingzhou. The leader of the hall was originally Song Wanjin, but Song Wanjin had no intention of taking care of it because of Song Feiyu's inexplicable drowning death. Now all the affairs in the hall are handled by the deputy hall leader Gao Cai.
Xin Zitang, on the other hand, is completely a thug gang. The people inside are all ruthless and extremely powerful martial arts masters. They usually move wherever there is trouble. It is also the only gang that does not have to turn in money regularly.
"Chiyang, Gao Cai, do you two have anything to say?" Lu Changsheng said expressionlessly.
Master Chiyang and Gao Cai immediately stood up.
Master Chiyang took the lead and said: "Jizitang has 50,000 taels of silver on the way. It will be delivered in two or three hours. I hope Mengli will calm down."
"Why is it so small? Jizitang manages thousands of small schools and sects, so such a small amount of money can't be justified, right?" Lu Changsheng was a little dissatisfied.
Master Chiyang gave a wry smile and said: "To be honest, one-third of the sects would rather disband than pay tribute recently, and one-third of the sects have transferred their property privately, but when asked, they didn't have it. We There are only two to three hundred sects in Jizitang that can collect money."
"Chiyang, you are too kind. Those sects that are unwilling to pay money, whether they are disbanded or become old people, as long as they do not pay money, they are no longer members of our martial alliance. ! Do you want me to teach you what to do next?”
Lu Changsheng picked up the tea cup, took a sip of tea, and said slowly.
"I……"
Master Chiyang showed a look of struggle on his face.
Xuanyang Sect, as one of the few great sects with a good reputation and high moral standards in Qingzhou, took the initiative to join the Martial League in order to reduce the harm caused by the Martial League to the Qingzhou world.
If he was allowed to raise a butcher's knife against other martial arts sects, it would be inconsistent with the original intention of joining the Martial Alliance, and the elders in the sect would also oppose him.
There was a hint of disappointment in Lu Changsheng's eyes, he put down the teacup and said slowly: "Forget it, it seems that you are not suitable for the position of the leader of Jizi Hall. From today on, Li Xinghun, you will be the leader of Jizi Hall, Chi." Master Yang was incompetent and was demoted to be the deacon of Jizitang!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Li Xinghun was originally the ace killer of the killer organization "One Drop of Blood". He didn't get close to anyone on weekdays and had no sense of presence in Jizitang. They didn't expect that the leader of the alliance would suddenly appoint him as the leader of Jizitang. New hall master.
Li Xinghun, who looked cold and stern, was also a little surprised. As an ace killer, he only knew how to perfectly complete the tasks assigned by the organization and did not have much desire for power. He did not expect that this pie would fall on his head.
Although he didn't know why the alliance leader arranged this, he still stood up and accepted the order.
There are more than a dozen grandmasters in Jizi Hall, and hundreds of innate masters. I don’t know how many people are eyeing the position of the leader of the hall. Seeing that a little transparent person in the hall actually became the leader, many people are almost jealous. It's written on his face.
Xu Shi, the deputy leader of Jizi Hall, was also a little depressed. He didn't expect that when the leader stepped down, he, the deputy leader, would not be the one to take over?
Could it be that the alliance leader is not satisfied with his work?
Thinking of this, Xu Shi's heart trembled, and he cursed secretly: "It's all my fault that old guy Chiyang Zhenren, he always talks about making money by being friendly, and my impression in the leader's heart has been reduced a lot."
Xu Shi decided that he must perform well next, at least to keep his position as deputy hall leader.
After Li Wuhun received the reward, he sat in the seat of Master Chiyang, while Master Chiyang retreated to the back with an ashen face.
You know, behind him is the Xuanyang Sect.
He also didn't expect that Lu Changsheng would show no mercy and directly knock him down from the position of hall leader.
Now Gao Cai was the only one left, and he suddenly felt a lot of pressure.
Seeing Lu Changsheng's eyes looking at him, he said bravely: "Leader, it's not that we, Gengzitang, don't want to give, but the chambers of commerce across Qingzhou. The wealthy businessmen really have no money.
During this period, our hall has collected a total of 8.12 million silver from them, almost draining all the cash in the hands of everyone. The only things left are some goods and properties. You said that you only need to take the cash, so I will do things according to your rules. "
"All the merchants in Qingzhou only have this little silver in their hands?"
Lu Changsheng felt a little incredible.
The population of Qingzhou is at least more than 20 million. There are only one in a thousand people doing business, but it is not a small number under the huge base.
Back then, he robbed more than 5 million taels of silver from a Sihai auction house alone.
There are so many merchants in Qingzhou, and the silver on hand is only slightly better than that of a Sihai auction house?
Seeing that Lu Changsheng didn't seem to believe it, Gao Cai patted his chest and guaranteed: "Master, I am willing to guarantee with my head that everything I said is true! If you don't believe it, you can send someone to check the accounts!"
Lu Changsheng frowned even deeper.
"Every word is true? I don't think so? "
Just then, Song Feiyan actually stood up. Relying on the relationship of her father being the hall master, she also got a job as a deacon in Gengzi Hall.
"According to my secret investigation, Deputy Hall Master Gao not only hid millions of taels of silver in his own manor, but also secretly colluded with many businessmen to help them conceal their property."
Song Feiyan looked at Gao Cai and sneered.
Gao Cai almost vomited blood and said angrily: "You yellow-haired girl, don't slander me! I know that your Song family has always wanted to place your own people as deputy hall masters, but if you want to slander me, at least you have to produce solid evidence!"
"Evidence..."
Song Feiyan was silent.
Gao Cai is the president of a large chamber of commerce, and he has always been watertight in his work. Song Feiyan secretly investigated for a long time and only got some scattered information, and the evidence that could make the final decision was indeed not available.
If she could produce solid evidence, she would have reported it to Lu Changsheng long ago, and she would not have stood up now.
