Ouchi Taming the Cat, starting with the Ten Tiger Forms!

Chapter 576: A Miserable Green

"Boss Yang, I offer you a toast!"

"Hey, it's still the deputy gang leader, deputy gang leader..." Yang Wanli corrected cheerfully while holding the wine glass, but there was no trace of blame on his face. He smiled and said, "I haven't been officially nominated by everyone yet, don't talk nonsense."

"Boss Yang, what are you saying? Are there any brothers in the Money Gang who don't support you?"

"It's just a process and a formality."

"Yes, this gang is mainly because Brother Yang is not doing it. I will be the first one to quit!"

"It's just..."

At the banquet, a group of top leaders of the Money Gang gathered together and the atmosphere was extremely warm.

The person who was praised by everyone at the first place was the host of tonight's banquet and Chen Tan's beloved good brother Yang Wanli.

"You guys are really causing trouble for this gang leader!"

Yang Wanli shook his head and sighed. Everyone was immediately amused by this reaction, and the atmosphere at the banquet was very lively.

Tonight, the headquarters of the Money Gang was filled with laughter and joy, not for any other reason, but because they had received good news.

Chen Tan is dead!

For those gang leaders who have long been dissatisfied with Chen Tan's actions and are eager to bring the Money Gang to side with King Zheng as soon as possible, there is no better news than this.

After all, Chen Tan has been the gang leader for so many years and has a high prestige in the gang.

Especially in local branches, many gang members only recognize Chen Tan.

Chen Tan definitely played a decisive role in the Jinqian Gang's current status.

However, these gang leaders in the capital have been constantly being wooed by King Zheng for so many years that they have long been confused and can no longer tell whether they are members of the Money Gang or slaves of King Zheng.

Tonight, King Zheng sent someone to deliver the news that Chen Tan was affected by the escape of the Desert Envoys Group in the Ministry of Justice's Tianlao and died in prison, with no trace of his body left.

From then on, there was no more Chen Tan in the world, and the position of leader of the Money Gang became vacant.

And according to the news sent, Chen Tan was imprisoned because he molested a decent woman, but the other party was a relative of a high-ranking official, so Chen Tan was directly locked up in the Ministry of Justice's Sky Prison.

Although this explanation is a bit forced, it is still an explanation, which prevents people from continuing to delve into the reasons why Chen Tan was imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice's Heavenly Prison.

In addition, there were always Chen Tan’s worldly enemies in the gang who came to make a scene, but it was reasonable and in line with Chen Tan’s personality.

The banquet at the Money Gang's headquarters lasted until late at night.

At this sensitive moment, Zhu Lao, who had been helping to guard the Jinqian Gang, did not show up. Only the top leaders of the Jinqian Gang who had completely sided with King Zheng participated.

Yang Wanli was drunk and was sent back to his room.

After the person who brought him back left, Yang Wanli, who was shielding his eyes with one arm, sighed softly and murmured vaguely:
"real or fake……"

Yang Wanli was also unable to tell whether the news was true or not.

He only knew that this accident happened not long after his news spread.

No one can be seen in life, no corpse in death.

Yang Wanli still had a glimmer of hope.

But when he thought of how carefully King Zheng acted, he became extremely worried.

Yang Wanli didn't think any more, turned over, and fell into a deep sleep.

……

A few days later, a memorial service for the former leader Chen Tan was held at the Jinqian Gang headquarters.

The cold and bleak winter is just the right time.

Although the gang's top leaders have long been dissatisfied with Chen Tan, they still need to rely on the prestige left by Chen Tan to lead the gang.

No matter who the new gang leader is, he will inevitably pay tribute to Chen Tan and act as if he wants to avenge Chen Tan.

Only in this way can gang members from all over the country believe that the new gang leader is also Chen Tan's confidant and continue to serve the Money Gang.

Otherwise, a gang the size of the Money Gang could fall apart at any time if not handled properly.

If they handed in an answer like this, I'm afraid the people on King Zheng's side would look down on them even more.

Chen Tan's cenotaph has been set up in the Jinqian Gang's headquarters, with white lanterns and white curtains hung in front of the door.

All the members of the Jinqian Gang and their relatives will come to pay their respects in person. In addition, many forces that are friendly with the Jinqian Gang have also sent representatives.

And there is another highlight tonight, which is the election of a new gang leader.

Of course, the candidate for this matter had already been decided, and King Zheng also agreed that the former deputy gang leader Yang Wanli, who had performed well recently, would be the successor gang leader.

This was also the reason why the gang leaders were trying so hard to curry favor with Yang Wanli at the banquet a few days ago.

Yang Wanli brought a few deputies and greeted the guests at the entrance of the headquarters early in the morning.

The first to arrive were naturally the top leaders of the gang.

In today's occasion, they all brought their wives and children to pay tribute to the spirit of the former gang leader Chen Tan in heaven.

This move is mainly to show their loyalty to the gang, meaning that only with money helping the big gang can they have their own small families.

Whenever an important figure in the gang passes away, this is the process.

Even if they fight openly and secretly for power in the gang, in this occasion, they will retain the last bit of dignity for each other.

The memorial ceremony went smoothly. Chen Tan had no family, so Yang Wanli accepted the greetings on his behalf.

I thought there would be some trouble today, but it was surprisingly peaceful.

Yang Wanli originally thought that Chen Tan's evildoers would come and cause a big fuss, but in the end, he didn't see any of them. It turned out that he was worrying too much.

Look at the time, it's almost noon.

After the banquet begins, the new gang leader will be elected.

At this moment, Yang Wanli's mood was actually mixed with a bit of nervousness.

Seeing that the time was almost up and there were no new guests arriving outside the door, Yang Wanli prepared to go in and prepare for the lunch banquet.

But just as he turned to enter the room, his footsteps suddenly stopped, which made the two deputies behind him feel strange.

"Deputy Gang Leader..."

"Oh, nothing, let's go in." Yang Wanli came back to his senses, seemed to be stunned for a moment, smiled slightly, and then asked: "By the way, where are the hall masters?"

The two deputies immediately replied, "Reporting to the deputy gang leader, several hall masters are waiting for you in the meeting room."

"Okay, go prepare the banquet first, I'll go find them."

The two deputies looked at each other, but only one of them left, leaving one following Yang Wanli.

"Deputy Boss, I'd better follow you. Maybe you can still use me."

The deputy who stayed behind said with a smile.

Yang Wanli didn't care too much and nodded in agreement.

The two of them went to the meeting room together, where several hall masters had been waiting for a long time.

"Boss Yang!"

When several people saw Yang Wanli, they immediately stood up and saluted. They all had happy faces and did not look like they were attending a memorial service at all.

"Everyone, Yang will ask for your continued care from now on."

After Yang Wanli finished speaking, everyone present burst into laughter, and they all understood each other's intentions.

"Of course, of course. From now on, the Money Gang will depend on Gang Leader Yang."

This time, Yang Wanli didn't say anything else and accepted the title.

Others were also very happy.

They all knew that from today on, the Jinqian Gang would officially become a force under King Zheng.

Although it is still called the Money Gang, it is no longer the same today.

With the support of King Zheng, the future of the Money Gang is limitless.

And these heroes will surely achieve great success in the future.

"Well, brothers."

"The Money Gang is now in the process of being reborn. Let's go ask Master Zhu to personally witness it for us."

Yang Wanli suddenly suggested.

This matter was not in the plan, which surprised the other hall masters.

"This..." "Mr. Zhu likes quietness. It's not a good idea to disturb him rashly, right?"

The leaders of the Jinqian Gang both respected and feared the expert sent by King Zheng.

But they also know that General Zhu is the key person to determine their future success.

If one could establish a good relationship with the worshipper of Prince Zheng's Palace, then one would be considered to have truly climbed up the big tree of Prince Zheng.

Privately, whenever they get the chance, these hall masters would do their best to flatter Master Zhu.

Although Master Zhu was polite to them, the gap between them was obvious, and until now no one had been able to really establish a good relationship with Master Zhu.

"For such a big event, how can we not ask Elder Zhu to be a witness?"

"This is also the attitude that the new Money Gang should have!"

Yang Wanli's words made everyone understand that he, the newly appointed leader of the Money Gang, had to show his loyalty to King Zheng, and his ascension to the position also required King Zheng's consent.

Although these were things that had been decided long ago, others had to admit that Yang Wanli was more thoughtful.

Even if Mr. Zhu refused, they already had the right attitude.

Those who can climb to the top of the gang are all smart people and will understand it immediately.

"What the gang leader said is very true. It is us who are short-sighted."

"This matter should indeed be witnessed by Master Zhu."

Originally, many people were resentful about Yang Wanli, a man of mediocre ability, becoming the gang leader.

It is one thing to manage gang internal affairs well, but it is another to be the gang leader.

But Prince Zheng was optimistic about Yang Wanli, so the other hall masters did not dare to speak out even if they had complaints.

But now it seems that Yang Wanli is indeed thoughtful and considerate, and if other people become gang leaders, they may not be able to do as well as he does.

Everyone immediately followed Yang Wanli to the courtyard where Zhu Lao was temporarily staying.

When they arrived at the courtyard, they found that there were no servants waiting there, which made everyone feel strange.

As a third-rank master, Master Zhu has always been very pretentious. To put it bluntly, he just likes to pretend. But since he is a third-rank master, he has the confidence to pretend, and others have to respect him for his style.

But now the courtyard is quiet and it seems that no one is there.

But Yang Wanli didn't seem to notice anything unusual, and he led a group of hall masters to knock on the closed door.

Yang Wanli raised his hand high to knock on the door, but he didn't put it down for a long time.

The hall masters who followed were surprised, and one of them stepped forward and asked:

"Boss Yang..."

But before he finished asking the question, the man fell silent.

The others felt strange and came forward, and their expressions changed one after another.

All you could hear was the continuous sweet and erotic sounds of "hmm" and "ahh" coming from the room.

At this moment, a loud shout suddenly came from the room:

"who!?"

"Didn't I tell you to get out of here?"

"You think your life is too long!"

Zhu Lao's furious voice came from inside, causing the women in the house to scream softly.

"I am Yang Wanli, and I, along with all the other hall masters, would like to greet Master Zhu."

"I came at a bad time. I apologize for any offense. Master Zhu, please forgive me."

"We'll leave now."

Yang Wanli bowed repeatedly to apologize and explained, looking like a grandson, and led everyone to retreat.

There was no response from Mr. Zhu's room, as if he was unhappy because his mood was disturbed.

Yang Wanli led his men to retreat outside the courtyard, then he wiped his sweat and said to the hall masters:
"It seems that we came at the wrong time. This time it's my fault that I caused several brothers to offend Master Zhu."

"I'm so sorry."

Although Yang Wanli had already been designated as the new gang leader, he politely apologized to the others.

However, the expressions of these hall masters were still extremely ugly, and they all looked shocked.

Yang Wanli immediately asked in surprise: "What happened to you brothers?"

"Don't worry about Master Zhu. I will personally apologize afterward. I won't blame you."

But even with Yang Wanli's assurance, the hall masters still looked ugly.

At this time, a hall master said: "It's almost time, let's start the feast first."

Although Yang Wanli was surprised by their reaction, he had no choice but to nod and go to the banquet.

After all, there are so many guests waiting outside, and it is really inappropriate that a gang leader is not here.

But when Yang Wanli arrived at the banquet, he found that many seats were empty, so he immediately asked his friends:

“Why are there so many empty seats?”

Yang Wanli took a quick look and, with his familiarity with the gang's internal affairs, he immediately knew who was missing.

"Hey, where are the women from the hall masters' families?"

When Yang Wanli turned around, he saw that several hall masters all had red faces and eyes, looking as if they were possessed.

"Brothers..."

Yang Wanli was about to ask a question when he seemed to suddenly think of something. His eyes suddenly widened and his face showed shock.

The gang members who were called in for questioning replied in a helpless way:

"Several ladies and young ladies were invited by Master Zhu to come over. It seems that he has something important to tell them."

After these words were spoken, several hall masters could not help but shiver all over and breathe heavily unconsciously, as if something in their chest was about to explode.

But even so, no one dared to return to Zhu Lao's courtyard.

He is a third-grade expert, what can happen if they go there?

Can we still get justice?
You're lucky if you're not slapped to death on the spot.

Yang Wanli swallowed his saliva, looked at the hall master, then looked at the gang member who was answering, and finally struggled to ask:

"Are you sure that it was Master Zhu who invited the families of the hall masters over?"

"It's absolutely true. Master Zhu's servant came to invite him personally."

The group of people in front of me are big and strong, with flat heads, thick eyebrows and big eyes. At first glance, they are honest people with no evil intentions.

But how could he know how heartbreaking his truth was now.

"Okay, okay, this is none of your business, go and get busy."

Yang Wanli quickly sent the people away, fearing that the hall masters would be angered to death on the spot, and also forcing those present to pay tribute to a few more people for nothing.

"Uh……"

"Brothers, I'm sorry for the loss."

"Let's eat first and get our business done first."

Yang Wanli felt that no matter how he said it, he was just adding fuel to the fire and making things worse.

But the hall masters are not ordinary people. When they are in the underworld, if they endure for a while, they will have peace and tranquility; if they take a step back, they will have a broad horizon.

They all understand this truth.

But when this thing really happens to me, it's still too painful.

The others were confused, but seeing that the leaders of the Jinqian Gang were all so grief-stricken and angry, they couldn't help but secretly sigh for the prestige and popularity of the late gang leader Chen Tan.

"It seems that this Boss Chen is very popular!"

Seeing that the time was almost right, Yang Wanli slowly walked to the front of the stage.

At this moment, the familiar deep voice sounded in his ears:

"well done."
