61. Tianming
Just before dawn, the bodies of Yuanxing Gang deputy gang leader Lu Jing and hall leader Mu Chunsheng were discovered by patrolling officers and soldiers.
After it was delivered to Laohuai Street, the entrance to the main hall exploded.
Ke Fang, who was still sleeping, was awakened by the knock on the door of his men. Seeing his panic at first, he thought it was Lu Jing and others who were going to kill him. He was so shocked that he almost rolled off the bed, and he had already thought about it.
In order to ask for life's rhetoric.
Thinking that Mu Chunsheng has always coveted his new concubine, why not reluctantly accept her?
While he was thinking wildly, his confidant told him another news that he had never dared to think about before.
Mu Chun died, and so did Lu Jing!
Ke Fang definitely didn't believe it. He was stunned for a long time until he was dragged to the lobby by his henchmen in a daze. He saw the bodies of these two people and he came back to his senses.
One is dead with eyes open, the other is ferocious, yes, they are Lu Jing and Mu Chunsheng.
Hall Master Ke went crazy. In the horrified eyes of all the brothers in the hall, this big man as strong as an ox, wearing only a pair of underwear, rolled his eyes and mouth in front of the corpses of Deputy Gang Leader Lu and Mu Hall.
Grinning, with tears and runny nose streaming down his face, he started dancing.
The relationship between Hall Master Ke and them is so good. It is so sad that people are going crazy, many people are thinking in their hearts.
But some people knew that Ke Fang was not crazy, but happy. He was so happy that he couldn't describe it in words, so he had to behave wildly.
Fortunately, although Ke Fang was scared off by Lu Jing earlier, and his emotions and anger were superficial, he was able to take the position of the hall leader after all. Even if he has always been reckless, he still has three points in the city.
"We must catch the murderer of our two brothers!" He clenched his fists and shouted, his eyes bloodshot and red.
But my heart blossomed with joy.
The inner circle of Lu Jing and Mu Chunsheng is the largest force in the Yuanxing Gang. Now that the two are dead, several of the incense masters are looking at each other with hostility.
In the past, there were two people who suppressed each other, and their ambitions were deeply hidden. Now that they are dead, their ambitions naturally flourish.
In the main hall, there was already a feeling of wind and rain killing people.
When Ke Fang saw this, the joy in his heart was suppressed, but what came up instead was an even greater ambition.
He vaguely heard something said by Lu Jing and Mu Chunsheng in the middle of the night, saying that it was aimed at Yan Hongran. Although he couldn't hear it clearly, it seemed that now that Chen Wu had been arrested, Lu Jing and Mu Chunsheng were dead, Yan Hongran's situation must also be the same.
Not much better.
So, both emotionally and rationally, the person with the highest status in the Yuanxing Gang is now myself!
Thinking about it this way, he was really smart. He deliberately showed Lu Jing that he was weak and was dormant here. It was fitting that he should be the leader of the gang. Otherwise, wouldn't he be struck by lightning from the sky?
Ke Fang burst into laughter in the hall, and all the confidants and those on the fence who saw the signs were all thinking quickly.
In the second half of the night, before dawn, several more corpses were carried out from the Yuanxing Gang's headquarters and sent directly out of the city on carts to the mass graves outside the city.
At dawn, Ke Fang, dressed neatly and smartly in black clothes, came out of the hall. His waist was tied tightly and his expression was sad. Although he was going to support the coffin of the old gang leader Shi Chongshan, he looked like one of those gangsters who had already taken advantage of others' wealth.
Many people in the Yuanxing Gang have not received the news from last night, such as Wang Yuanzhi and others from Nanshi. They only found out that something big happened last night when they gathered at the main hall this morning.
When all the incense owners who came over saw Ke Fang sitting at the head of the hall and the two extra coffins in the hall, they couldn't help but feel horrified. The sky of the Yuan Xing Gang had really fallen.
Especially when they learned that seven or eight Xiang Masters who lived in the main hall died last night, they were even more frightened - the dead were all close friends of Lu and Mu.
At this time, Ke Fang sat at the head of the hall, picked up the tea, and blew the foam gently, "Why hasn't Hall Master Yan arrived yet?"
Someone in the hall saw that his posture was exactly that of Lu Jing.
It's just that maybe he lacks confidence and is a reckless man, so doing this seems a bit funny, but no one dares to laugh.
Someone said: "There is news from Dongshi that Hall Master Yan was attacked last night and disappeared after being carried back to the hall by Xiang Master Chu Yunqing."
"Missing?" Ke Fang was stunned.
Everyone in the hall was also in an uproar.
"Hall Master Yan is missing?"
"Who dares to attack Hall Master Yan?"
"Overnight, the deputy gang leader and two gang leaders were killed. God is going to destroy our Yuanxing Gang!"
"Who is it that dares to be so bold?"
"Okay!" Ke Fang felt that he needed to show his dignity, "This matter will be discussed later."
Everyone in the hall felt quite uneasy.
"The first priority today is to let the old gang leader rest in peace." Ke Fang said: "As for the murderer, we must find it!"
As he spoke, his eyes swept across the hall, and suddenly he said: "Strange, why is no one coming from Dongshi?"
Those who can enter the hall today are naturally incense masters.
Although it was just dawn, Shi Chongshan's burial was a big event, and everyone had to come together at this time.
There were already whispers below, but someone still said: "Last night in the East Market, in addition to Hall Master Yan being attacked, Fang Zhen, Yuwentong, and Wang Xuan were also killed in Xueyue Tower."
"What?"
"What kind of thief is he, so impudent!"
"It seems that Dongshi has offended someone."
"No wonder no one came over from Dongshi. I'm afraid they were too scared to go out."
"Could it be a government affair?"
For a moment, some people wanted to say something sarcastic, but suddenly no one spoke.
Indeed, if you think about it carefully, in Taiyuan Prefecture, if anyone dares to take action against the Yuan Xing Gang, apart from those hidden sects, perhaps it is only the government.
"Don't think too much." Ke Fang was also frightened, but still reassured everyone, "Maybe he is the enemy of Hall Master Yan and others."
The Yuan Xing Gang used to be a monolithic group, but after Shi Chongshan died, there was dispersion within the gang. Now all the people who could convince the crowd have died, and human nature has begun to be exposed due to conflicts and ambitions.
At this time, Ke Fang, who had established his authority by killing people last night, could barely rely on his own martial arts and previous status to be able to talk things over for the time being.
Ke Fang couldn't wait to become the leader of the gang. He stood up and said, "Okay, it's almost time. It's time to send the old gang leader off."
"Aren't you going to wait for the brothers over there in Dongshi anymore?" someone asked.
Ke Fang waved his hands and said: "It doesn't matter, maybe they will follow us on the way outside the city."
No one in the hall said anything more.
…
The procession for Yuan Xing Gang's burial was very long, loud and even more solemn.
However, as expected, the government would send additional personnel to monitor the situation, but there were only a few government officials accompanying them.
Little did they know that the atmosphere in the government office was as solemn as a cloud at this time, and they had no intention of caring about them.
The magistrate Xie Yuyao, who had a fair face and looked to be in his forties, sat at the head of the hall. Under the hall, in addition to the arrests from the six gates and the Yamen, there were also the widows reported after the autopsy, An Qinghe's six-bedroom concubine.
