Time flies by like a flash, and in a blink of an eye it is three years later.

At the end of 1934, in the cold winter, Changsha experienced another snowy weather.

It has been snowing heavily for several days, and the snow is a foot thick.

There are only a few people on the street, and only a few hawkers gather in one place, burning boilers, smoke rising, hawking cooked food.

Although the situation across the country is chaotic, Changsha is like a paradise.

Zhang Qishan has now become Changsha's defense officer and can be regarded as the top leader in Changsha. Under his protection, Changsha has lost many corrupt officials.

The comprehensive power of Jiumen has also increased several times than before. Not only does it control the economic lifeline of Changsha, but its sphere of influence has gradually spread to surrounding provinces.

It is precisely because of Zhang Qishan's support from the Nine Sects and the help of Ye Bai's disciple Song Qingyuan that he was able to have a prosperous official career.

A few days ago, an interesting incident related to Zhang Qishan happened in Changsha.

It is said that Zhang Qishan and his colleagues were out for fun and saw a large Buddha statue erected in the temple.

He made a bet with his colleagues that he could move the Buddha statue to the mansion tomorrow.

The Buddha statue was five to six meters high and was probably very heavy. The place was far away from Changsha City. Of course, several colleagues didn't believe it, so they made a bet with Zhang Qishan.

Unexpectedly, on the second day, several people actually saw this big Buddha statue in front of Zhang Qishan's residence.

When this incident spread, people said that Zhang Qishan had the ability to move mountains and reclaim seas, and he was even called the Great Buddha Zhang.

In addition, in the past few years, Ye Bai has been hiding from the world, and Zhang Qishan has become more and more popular in the public eye. In the eyes of others, Zhang Qishan is the leader of the Nine Sects.

In Ye Mansion, in front of a long table in a conference room, the heads of the nine families were sitting in a row.

"Zhang Dafo Lord's fame is getting bigger and bigger! What mistake did my guy make, and you put him in jail?" Li Bu angrily said.

"Fourth Master, not only was this kid bribed by the Japanese, but he was also selling opium in Changsha City. I must catch him." Zhang Qishan calmly took a sip of tea.

Li Nu slapped the table and made the tea cup clatter: "I've been making trouble with the Japanese all day long. I asked you to bring out the evidence, but you said it was confidential. Let me ask you, how many arrests have I made recently?

Man, let me tell you Zhang Qishan, it’s not you Zhang Qishan who has the final say in these nine sects now!”

As soon as he said this, Ye Bai noticed that many people were looking at him.

Damn it, this old fox, Banli Li, gave the ball to himself again.

Ye Bai had no choice but to say: "Fourth Master, calm down. The Japanese are the first force that our nine sects must deal with. Lord Buddha will not make something out of nothing. This guy is indisputably related to the Japanese. Of course, I will also ask my subordinates to investigate this matter."

If that guy of yours is wronged, I will definitely ask Lord Buddha to apologize to you and give you full compensation."

Half Li nodded: "Now that Third Master has spoken out, I won't hold on to him, but I have heard that the outside world says that Zhang Qishan is the leader of the Nine Sects. It seems that Third Master needs to be more careful."<

/p>

Ye Bai smiled and shook his head: "I agreed before the establishment of the Presbyterian Council that the Great Elder will be elected every five years. When my term ends, if you have the ability to lead the nine sects, then I will naturally give up my position. Don't talk about it now.

The words of the human heart."

"What the Third Master taught me is that when the Third Master becomes the Great Elder, I still agree with it. After all, the development of the Nine Sects over the years is obvious to all..."

A meeting lasted for a long time, and the heads of the nine sects were arguing. Ye Bai felt that he was exhausted mentally and physically.

After the meeting ended, Ye Bai asked everyone to stay and had a rich lunch as a way to bond.

After sending the others away, Ye Bai kept Zhang Qishan behind.

"You, the great Buddha, need to restrain yourself a little lately. If I remember correctly, these people you arrested have nothing to do with the Japanese."

Zhang Qishan smiled and said: "Even if you know the situation, if you are helping me, selling opium and poisoning my own people, I will arrest you no matter what."

Ye Bai still admires some of Zhang Qishan's qualities.

"Opium is very profitable, so Li naturally doesn't want to let it go. In this way, at the next meeting, we will make a rule that no one in the Nine Gates is allowed to sell opium, and you won't have to find reasons to arrest people in the future."

"Okay, I applaud this with both hands!"

After discussing the current political situation with Zhang Qishan, Zhang Qishan did not leave Ye Mansion until nightfall.

Tonight, Bai Zhixi went to Hongfu to take care of Sijiqing, who was in poor health. Ye Bai didn't have much appetite, so he simply ate some.

Walking in the streets of Changsha, the snow in the middle of the road has been cleared away and piled up on the roads on both sides.

From time to time, children would play and play in the snowdrifts. After their clothes were soaked, they would be hung up and beaten by their mothers.

Ye Bai saw it interestingly. He walked and stopped all the way, and soon arrived at Qi Xiaohei's mansion.

As one of the heads of the Nine Sects, Qi Xiaohei has matured a lot after three years of hard work, but in front of Ye Bai, his playful and smiling personality has not changed.

Perhaps the people closest to you will always be the most naive side.

Qi Xiaohei didn't come to attend today's nine-door meeting, so Ye Bai thought of coming to take a look.

In front of Qi Mansion, there were still several snowmen piled up. Ye Bai saw himself, ranked third, but still couldn't compare to Xiao Hua, who ranked second.

What kind of magic power does this little flower have that makes Qi Xiaohei so obsessed with it?

"Third Master!" When the gatekeeper saw Ye Bai, he quickly lowered his head and said respectfully.

Seeing that this man was wearing thin clothes, Ye Bai couldn't help but patted him on the shoulder and said, "Master Hei has deducted your wages. Why are you wearing so little?"

The man smiled shyly: "No, no, Master Hei is very good to me. He even gave me two thousand yuan more this month. Isn't the Chinese New Year coming soon? I just want to save some money to buy new clothes for my child."

”

Ye Bai put his coat on him: "You can't freeze yourself, it's so cold. I'll ask Mr. Hei to pay you more wages later."

"Thank you, Third Master, thank you, Third Master!"

After Ye Bai left, the man looked at Ye Bai differently. He clenched his coat and his heart was filled with gratitude.

For big people, as long as they show a little kindness, they can easily gain the loyalty of others.

However, Ye Bai did not buy people's ideas, he just did it casually.

Arriving in front of Qi Xiaohei's room, a small object on the eaves attracted Ye Bai's attention.

This is a black turtle with a human face, only the size of a palm.

Even though it's cold, there are still those kinds of moths surrounding the light, and the little human-faced spider is catching these things.

However, its shot of spider silk was not accurate, and it failed several times in succession. Instead, it alarmed the moths and caused the prey to run away.

The little man-faced spider chirped and seemed to be sighing, but he saw a figure standing in front of him.

The six spider eyes froze for an instant, as if they were scared to death, and then hurriedly turned into a black shadow, got into the window, and hid in the house.

Why is this thing so timid!

Ye Bai pushed the door open and saw Qi Xiaohei concentrating on carving a wooden sculpture of a girl. The little human-faced spider ran to his head and screamed "chirp" and "chirp", as if to remind him that someone was coming.
Chapter completed!
