Chapter 48 Appointment, Preaching
The progress of recruiting Zhang Susu and Wang Zheng was faster than Ouyang Ye expected, but it was successful in just three days.
It just so happened that the ordinary gang members of the West Hall and the South Hall had also recruited the original number in the past month. Two days later, Ouyang Ye summoned the brothers of the East, West and South in the open space in front of the house, and prepared to appoint Zhang Susu and Wang Zheng as the hall masters in public.
The three halls of gangs stood in three groups, with 30 people in the east hall, 40 people in the west hall, and 30 people in the south hall. Although there were arrangements, they were not neat, so naturally there was no power.
Originally, many people were whispering and making a little noisy, but when Ouyang Ye took Zhang Susu, Wang Zheng, Chen Lai, and Gao Qiang out of the courtyard, they all fell silent.
"Today I will gather my brothers to introduce to you two new heroes who have joined my Shenmu Gang." Ouyang Ye glanced sharply at the gang members below, raised his mouth and went straight to the topic.
"The brother Wang Zheng on my right hand is a master of the second realm, the successor of the Liuhe Spear, and his ancestor was also a general in Dayu. Brother Wang Zheng himself has worked as an escort leader, opened an escort agency, traveled around the world, and was knowledgeable!"
"Brother Wang Zheng joined my Shenmu Gang, which can be said to have made my Shenmu Gang more wings. After the Nantang was betrayed by Tian Yunong, the position of the hall master has been vacant. Therefore, I want to appoint the Wang Zheng brothers as the new Nantang master."
Speaking of this, Ouyang Ye looked at Shen Qingfeng who was standing in front of Brother Nantang and said, "Brother Qingfeng, you have been the deputy head of Nantang for more than a month. Most of the brothers in Nantang are also selected by you from the new brothers. I believe you are already familiar with Nantang affairs."
"After the arrival of the office of the Lord Wang, you must assist him well and learn from him humbly. It is important to know that the Lord Wang is far better than you in terms of martial arts and martial arts experience. If you make great progress, you can also push it up when you open a new hall in the future. Do you understand?"
Shen Qingfeng has been the deputy director of the Nantang for more than a month, and is in his twenties, which is the age when he is prone to ambition, so he has indeed fantasized about the position of the hall master.
But he even can only be considered a good player in the first level of martial arts. It is difficult for Ren Nan to master, so he doesn't have much resentment about Ouyang Ye suddenly getting a newcomer to ask.
At this time, I heard Ouyang Ye's encouragement and future hints, and I was even more excited. I immediately clasped my fists and shouted loudly: "Please rest assured, my subordinates will definitely assist the Lord of the King!"
Ouyang Ye nodded slightly, then signaled everyone to pay attention to Zhang Susu in his left hand, and said aloud again: "The one on my left hand is the descendant of Taiyi Xuanmen Sword, Zhang Susu."
"Zhang Nuxia's father, Zhang Fu, was a top swordsman in Babei ten years ago, and Zhang Nuxia herself is a master at the third level."
"There are only a handful of warriors in the third level of Babei - the Xiang family can dominate the green forest of Babei because both father and son are in the third level; the Shennong Gang can only cross several counties on the edge of Shennongjia because of Sima Yutang, a master in the third level of Shennongjia."
"Therefore, the joining of Zhang Nuxia means that our Shenmu Gang will have the potential to become a top-notch force in the Babei River and the Shennong Gang!"
Speaking of this, Ouyang Ye's eyes fell on Li Qin and a group of brothers from the East Council, and said, "Now I appointed Zhang Nuxia as the head of the East Council. Li Qin, you and Brother Dong Council must not be despised by her, and must assist her well. Do you understand?"
Li Qin is an old man and knows his position better than a young man like Shen Qingfeng, so Ouyang Ye does not care about comforting him.
Sure enough, Li Qin clasped his fists without hesitation and shouted: "Don't worry, gang leader, I will do my best to assist Zhang Tang in charge of the territory of Dong Tang!"
Then, Ouyang Ye walked down, walked around the crowd, returned to the steps, raised his breath and spoke, and said another thing.
"I know that in the past month, the wood in the logging farm was not accepted by the downstream line and could not be sold, and the people in the gang were in a state of great concern, and some brothers were even more worried that the Shenmu Gang would collapse."
"Today, Ouyang Ye wants to tell you that as long as I Ouyang Ye is in one day, the Shenmu Gang will never collapse! As long as the Shenmu Gang does not cross the monthly money, the reward will not be reduced by half!"
"Put your heart! I hope you can do a good job for the Shenmu Gang for one day!"
"When it comes to this, if someone is not honest in doing things and spreading remarks that are not conducive to my Shenmu Gang, don't blame me for turning against me, Ouyang Ye!"
When more than a hundred brothers from the Shenmu Gang heard Ouyang Ye’s words, some people felt ashamed, and then they felt ashamed.
Ouyang Ye's majesty was all caused by fighting against the Iron Line Sect, and no one would doubt his ruthlessness.
After these words, the gang members dispersed. Ouyang Ye took the three hall masters and the deputy hall masters into the front hall of the house.
The three deputy hall masters were all promoted by Ouyang Ye. They had never sat in this archway for more than a month, so naturally they didn't know how to do so, so they all stood behind their hall masters.
Ouyang Ye looked around and said, "About one or two months later, there will be a big action in the gang. I hope that the brothers will urge them to practice more during this period so as not to get weak and diarrhea when they see the situation in the future."
"Yes." Ouyang Chang, Wang Zheng and others all agreed with fists.
Zhang Susu originally wanted to ask what the big move was, but when he saw that the others didn't ask, he held back and replied.
Afterwards, Ouyang Ye asked Zhang Susu again whether Wang Zheng had been used to living in the past two days, and asked them to get familiar with the brothers and affairs at their respective halls as soon as possible, and then they had a breakup.
After the meeting, Ouyang Ye did not return to Dongkuanyuan to practice martial arts, but followed Zhang Susu, Li Qin and others to inspect the two logging fields below the Dongtang and the mountains and forests they rely on.
"Gang Master, Hall Master, although the two forests belonging to our Dong Hall are not small, the terrain is more convenient for guarding. There are only a few roads to walk down the mountain with wood. Therefore, on weekdays, our Dong Hall brothers only need to guard a few intersections and then send people to inspect the mountains regularly, so that no one can steal the wood."
While walking on the road, Li Qin introduced the situation of the forests belonging to Ouyang Ye and Zhang Susu.
Of course, Ouyang Ye had learned about these situations before, so Li Qin was actually telling Zhang Susu mainly.
Although Zhang Susu has a rough personality and a hot temper as a woman, she is not stupid.
Realizing that Li Qin was mainly explaining to her, she asked, "What should I do if I encounter someone who steals theft?"
"It's usually okay to drive it away," said Li Qin. "But there are also a few people who are stubborn and insist that anyone can cut down big trees on this mountain, so we can only use the strong."
Zhang Susu laughed after hearing this.
She knew that the mountain forest was forcibly occupied by the Shenmu Gang and was also a stealing logger. But now Li Qin said that the Shenmu Gang has become the master, and he said it with confidence that the attack on other stealing loggers was funny.
But when she thought that she was the master of the Shenmu Gang and would be such a person in the future, she couldn't laugh.
But she didn't regret it - she was no longer the innocent girl who had just entered the world more than ten years ago and had a dream of a chivalrous girl.
Now as a wife and a mother, what she thinks is: when her husband wants to buy books and ask her to get money, she doesn’t have to quarrel with her husband about how much money she wants; when her son wants to eat meat again, she doesn’t have to lie to her son because the money in the family is tight and she says she will eat it again, and then another day, and finally feel extremely guilty for her son’s disappointed look.
The world is so difficult. She has martial arts skills. As long as she doesn’t do something traitorous and evil, she will be able to live a better life for her family and become more fierce and unreasonable.
