Chapter 52 The money is not in vain(1/2)
"Have you beaten enough?"
Yan Dafeng looked angry at this moment, "Do you still have me as the Third Hall Master in your eyes?"
Zhao Tongli continued: "My subordinates know that they are wrong, but there are reasons for the incident. I was forced to take action."
"Nonsense."
Xiang Lei roared angrily: "Third Hall Master, Zhao Tongli and the following have violated the gang rules. Please punish him severely."
Zhao Tongli lowered his head and cupped his hands and said: "The third hall master, I insulted Meng Tongcheng to the deputy hall master first, but my subordinates' good words to dissuade him failed, so I had to use force to stop him."
Huang Youming rushed forward quickly, knelt down on one knee, cupped his hands and said, "I can testify that I saw with my own eyes that Deputy Hall Master Xiang was going crazy and wanted to lynch Meng Tongcheng."
Yan Dafeng looked at Xiang Lei, then at Zhao Tongli and Huang Youming, and asked, "Where is Meng Tongcheng?"
"Third Hall Master, I'm here..."
In the main room, a middle-aged man with gray hair in a wheelchair was pushed out by the maid.
Yan Dafeng took a closer look...
The man in the wheelchair had swollen cheeks, cracked corners of his mouth and was bleeding. His mouth was open, and several of his teeth were empty.
"You did it?"
Yan Dafeng glared at Lei.
Xiang Lei said in a deep voice: "Meng Tongcheng is the suspect who murdered my nephew. If Zhao Tongli hadn't interfered, I would have pried his mouth open and made him confess."
Meng Tongcheng smiled miserably and said: "I am a cripple, so whatever you say will be my fault."
Yan Dafeng looked at Xiang Lei coldly: "Brother Xiang, considering that you have just lost your loved one and are a little out of control emotionally, I will not pursue this matter. But if there is a next time, then you will do it again and again.
If you cause trouble, don't blame me for being unkind."
Xiang Lei took a few deep breaths, his expression changed for a while, and finally he looked gloomy, lowered his head and said, "Everything depends on the third hall master."
…
…
…
It was midnight in the blink of an eye.
Xiaobi cooked the Hongqi Guiyuan soup and brought it to Li Kui to drink.
Gurgling!
Li Kui endured the strange smell and drank it all in one gulp.
After just waiting for a moment, he looked down at his chest, and a smile appeared on his face.
"This time, let's increase the [speed]!"
In one thought, the blue liquid was quickly released from the hexagonal simulator, surging and rolling like a tide, spreading to every corner of the body.
[Your speed increases by 10%]
【Speed:1.9】
"Great, 1.9 times faster!"
The increase in speed brings about a direct increase in combat effectiveness. You can beat people when you advance, and you can run away when you retreat. It is very economical.
But that's not all.
After consuming the blue liquid in the hexagonal simulator, Li Kui looked down at his chest and found that new blue liquid was still growing rapidly.
In other words, the Hongqi Guiyuan Decoction that Li Kui drank this time was more effective than the previous times.
"The deer antlers I bought from Rafdo are not only in good quality, but also very fresh and have less nutritional loss."
Excellent value for money…
Li Kui was satisfied.
The night passed quickly.
The next morning, Li Kui looked down and saw that a quarter of the blue liquid had grown inside the hexagonal simulator.
"Wonderful, those 3,500 silver coins were not spent in vain."
Li Kui smiled softly, and his mind became more determined. He wanted to go to the wild area.
"I don't plan to stay in this Red Leaf City for the rest of my life..."
Li Kui still doesn't know how big this world is, but the man is interested in all directions and wants to see it.
…
…
…
Two days flew by.
Yan Dafeng summoned nine third-level cadres and held a small meeting.
Xiang Lei also attended.
"I have to leave for a while, and my return date has not yet been determined." Yan Dafeng said slowly while looking at everyone.
Huang Youming asked: "Where are the three principals going?"
Yan Dafeng: "The gang leader called me over. I don't know what the specific matter was. I originally planned to leave yesterday, but due to some emergencies, I had to postpone it for one day."
The emergency situation naturally refers to the fight between Xiang Lei and Zhao Tongli.
This incident caused quite an uproar, and everyone in the three halls was moved.
Yan Dafeng was silent for a moment: "After I leave, Zhao Tongli will take charge of Santangkou, and all affairs will follow his orders."
As soon as these words came out!
Everyone was deeply moved, with different expressions.
Li Kui, Huang Youming and others were extremely surprised by this.
Zhao Tongli was naturally overjoyed and excited. He knelt down on one knee, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you to the Third Hall Master for your trust. I will do my best to share the worries of the Third Hall Master."
Xiang Lei was extremely shocked. He was stunned for a moment, then stood up from his seat and shouted loudly: "Third Hall Master, is this inappropriate? While you are away, I, the deputy hall master, should be in charge. When will it be my turn?"
Are third-level cadres involved?"
Yan Dafeng said calmly: "Brother Xiang, your nephew has not been buried yet and you are still in mourning. I don't want to increase your burden.
Furthermore, Zhao Tongli has both political integrity and talent, outstanding achievements, and sufficient qualifications. I have recommended him to the gang leader for promotion to deputy hall leader."
Hearing this, everyone took a deep breath.
Zhao Tongli was ecstatic and kowtowed heavily: "Thank you to the Third Hall Master for your cultivation. I am willing to die for the Third Hall Master."
Xiang Lei's expression was distorted, and the veins on his face bulged out with anger, turning into a scary purple color.
Yan Dafeng turned a blind eye and said solemnly: "During my absence, everyone must fulfill your duties and be united."
"yes."
Everyone bowed their hands in unison.
"Okay, if you don't have anything else to do, let's leave." Yan Dafeng waved his hand, turned around and walked out of the meeting hall.
Xiang Lei waved his sleeves and left for the second time.
The remaining people all gathered around Zhao Tongli and surrounded him to congratulate him.
Huang Youming smiled broadly and sighed: "Brother Zhao should have been promoted long ago, if Xiang Lei hadn't deliberately suppressed him."
Another person continued: "Yes, Xiang Lei is arrogant and domineering, bullying us and others, relying on the protection of the higher-ups. It is really not easy for Brother Zhao to be promoted this time."
Li Kui asked: "Is there anyone above Xiang Lei?"
Huang Youming sneered: "Xiang Lei has an elder who is a meritorious elder of our Iron Sand Gang. He is more protective and has always spoiled Xiang Lei and allowed him to do whatever he wants."
Li Kui quickly understood.
"Stop talking about this, let me treat you to the Bird's Nest House tonight!"
At this time, Zhao Tongli was full of pride and high spirits, "You all come, no one can be absent."
Huang Youming and others said: "It is necessary!"
"I also want to go, but I really don't have time today." Li Kui shook his head, "I have already made an appointment with someone else."
Zhao Tongli was stunned for a moment and said: "It doesn't matter, I'll invite you next time."
Li Kui: "Also, I would like to take a few days off."
Zhao Tongli: "What's the emergency?"
Li Kui: "As you know, I am a refugee and my family members are missing outside. I recently found some clues and plan to go find my relatives."
As soon as this reason was stated, others could not say anything else, and they all wished Li Kui to find his relatives as soon as possible.
