Chapter 398: Big Golden Seal
In a courtyard on Shanyuan Road in Lushui City, Li Banfeng was sitting on the sofa wearing a top hat with the brim pulled down very low.
Shen Jinzhong, the second in command of Sanyingmen, is 48 years old this year. He has a bald head, a round face, a beard, and is a seventh-level martial artist.
Looking at Bao Yingchen beside him, Shen Jinzhong felt frightened.
He knew that this Bao Yingchen was not real, but over the years, his fear of Bao Yingchen was engraved in his bones.
"Seventh Master, there is nothing wrong with this puppet, except that its complexion is a little off, and it looks a little green."
Li Banfeng nodded and said, "The appearance is easy to say, I will dress up when the time comes."
Shen Jinzhong added: "His speech and behavior are also different from our boss.
Our boss only speaks three-tenths of the time and keeps the other seven-tenths to himself. Even with these three-tenths, he is very evasive.
When listening to him speak, everyone around him feels that it makes sense, but few people can clearly explain what the reason is. "
Shen Jinzhong had already made his impression of Bao Yingchen clear, but Li Banfeng fell into deep thought. He had no way of training a common person into a veteran in such a short period of time.
Li Banfeng rewrote the script and the two of them rehearsed it carefully several times.
Shen Jinzhong said impatiently: "Those who should come will definitely be willing to give me this face, and those who shouldn't come will be spared from causing trouble, so go quickly!"
Supported by the Chu family, Dong Kaibin has now taken over the position of the third in command of the Sanying Gate. The only thing missing is a status.
He then clasped his fists towards Dong Kaibin and said, "Elder Dong."
Shen Jinzhong returned to the lobby of Jinyin.
At six o'clock in the evening, guests began to arrive one after another.
Han Yaomen smiled, lifted his robe, sat down on the chair, and said nothing.
"There's still no news from the boss, so my little story isn't worth mentioning."
He called a few of his men and asked them to prepare the invitations: "I bought twenty sheep in Baimuyuan. Go and prepare twenty pots. We will have a feast tonight."
The subordinates looked at the list and found that they were all well-known people in Green Water City. They were not easy to invite: "The first two days are invitations, the first day is a call, and the day is a promotion. The boss, if we promote them now, they may not be willing to come."
Shen Jinzhong asked him to take a seat, and he said a few polite words: "Master, it is not appropriate for me to sit here. It is not in my proper position."
The first to arrive were the people from Sanyingmen. Several elders were invited over. Shen Jinzhong himself sat in the second seat. The first seat was vacant, so he invited Elder Dong Kaibin to the third seat.
Are seven or eight sentences enough? Shen Jinzhong was a little nervous.
The Jinyin Hall is a large mansion where important matters concerning Sanyingmen are usually discussed.
He likes to be evasive when speaking, and this alone makes it very difficult to deal with him. We have to design a lot of convoluted scripts for him. If he gets half a sentence wrong, his identity may be revealed.
"Master, isn't it inappropriate for us to hold a banquet at this time?"
He is trying to give in, but he is definitely not giving in to me. He is giving in to the Chu family.
"The boss has to keep looking for someone, and you have to do your job, brother, just sit here and do your job."
Shen Jinzhong sat in the second chair. This was Li Banfeng's order. Before things were settled, the first chair had to be vacated. This was a sign of respect for Bao Yingchen and loyalty to the gang.
"Add two sentences for the introduction, two sentences for the epilogue, and only three sentences for the main topic, so seven or eight sentences before and after, I think that's enough."
"What are you afraid of!" Shen Jinzhong said with a smile, "Today's banquet is to solidify your status."
Since it is impossible to create a highly similar Bao Yingchen, we have to find another way.
The best way to deal with it is to not let the cabbage people talk too much.
Shen Jinzhong pointed his finger and left a bloody handprint.
Looking at Shen Jinzhong's attitude, Dong Kaibin knew what was going on.
Shen Jinzhong smiled and said, “Brother Han, you can’t call me elder anymore, you are Dong Jinyin now.”
The subordinate asked: "Who are you going to invite?"
"I think three sentences are enough."
The Chu family is in its heyday. If Shen Jinzhong surrenders to the Chu family, it is equivalent to surrendering to Guan Fangshi. The key lies in the extent of his surrender.
If he just honestly acts as the second in command, this matter will be slow and he can get by for a few more years.
Shen Jinzhong said: "Seventh Master, what do you think is the appropriate amount?"
Shen Jinzhong frowned and said, "How can it be considered a big feast to eat mutton hotpot? I invited these people here to help us find the boss."
Li Banfeng said: "It doesn't matter if you say more or less, the key is to have someone to testify. You should invite all the gang members to the Jinyin Hall. How many people you can invite depends on your face.
I will also invite some people here. Tonight, you will bring the Golden Seal home. Do not leak the news beforehand."
The people from the Sanying Gang had almost arrived, and people from other gangs also arrived one after another. Han Yaomen, the leader of the Qingyun Society, clasped his fists towards Shen Jinzhong and said, "Shen Jinyin!"
If he still wants to fight for the top spot, there is no room for negotiation. Either he is kicked out of the gang or his life is taken.
Even if one sentence is correct, if he strictly follows Bao Yingchen's habit of making things vague and confusing so that others cannot understand, the matter will still not be accomplished.
Shen Jinzhong was stunned: "Can three sentences make things clear?"
Shen Jinzhong was a little embarrassed: "Seventh Master, if you don't let me leak the news that the big golden seal has returned home, how can I invite people?"
"I've written a list, you guys go prepare the invitations."
"That depends on your ability. I don't think you need to worry about it. What's supposed to come will eventually come, and those who shouldn't come shouldn't come to cause trouble," Li Banfeng took out a piece of contract paper, "Let's sign a contract first, and write down everything we agreed on before."
What Dong Jinyin? Wagging his tail in front of the Chu family, is this kind of pug worthy of being called Jinyin?
Zhang Xiuling, the head of Baihua Sect, is here.
Bai Wuchuan, the leader of the Baihe Gang, is here.
Li Haoyun, the head of Furongzhai, is here.
Xie Juncong, the leader of the Ghost Hand Sect, also came.
When these gang leaders saw Dong Kaibin, some called him Elder Dong, while others simply ignored him. No one recognized him as Jin Yin.
Dong Kaibin felt a little embarrassed, but he was still calm inside. This was something he had expected before his status was confirmed.
The soup in the pot is boiling, why haven’t the guests invited by Li Qi arrived yet?
When Shen Jinzhong was getting anxious, the guests arrived.
The first to arrive was Lu Chunying, followed by Tan Fucheng and Lu Yuanxin.
The Lu family was also being targeted by the envoys, but their status in Pro Province was still there. Everyone was somewhat surprised that the Lu family could be invited to a meal of mutton hotpot.
The second person to arrive was Shen Rongqing, she came on behalf of Ling Family Pictures.
With so many things happening to the Ling family, their status in Pro Province is no longer what it used to be.
But Shen Rongqing's fame is still there, this is a talented woman in Pro Province.
She happened to sit next to Zhang Xiuling. With two talented ladies gathered together, Shen Jinzhong looked even more proud.
The third person to enter was He Yuxiu.
Seeing He Yuxiu coming, everyone became nervous.
Why did you invite her here? Is Shen Jinzhong crazy?
He Yuxiu killed Yang Xingbo, the third in command of Sanyingmen!
Of course, this is just a rumor and has not been confirmed. The fact that He Yuxiu dared to come today may mean there is another explanation.
But even if there was an explanation, she shouldn't have been invited here so blatantly.
He Yuxiu is now a thorn in the side of the customs official and may die at any time. Isn't Shen Jinzhong afraid of being implicated by inviting her to the banquet?
Although they were surprised, He Yuxiu walked into the lobby and everyone stood up.
This is the eldest sister of the He family. She is one of the most prominent figures in Prostate and also the most stubborn person in Prostate.
The Ma family in his early years, the Lu family in its heyday, and now the customs envoy, no matter what kind of opponent he encountered, no matter what kind of situation he encountered, He Yuxiu never gave in or bowed his head.
Everyone present, regardless of age, identity, or position, had to call He Yuxiu "Sister Xiu" politely when they saw her!
He Yuxiu pulled a chair and sat next to Lu Chunying, then smiled and said to Shen Jinzhong, “Old Shen, I’m coming to your place for dinner. Will it cause you any trouble?”
"Sister Xiu, that's not the case. You're here because you think highly of me! It makes me proud!" Shen Jinzhong asked someone to bring a jar of wine and poured wine for He Yuxiu himself.
Dong Kaibin was standing by, his face darkened: "Sister Xiu, is our Third Master..."
"Who are you?" He Yuxiu looked at Dong Kaibin, "Do I recognize you?"
Dong Kaibin looked at Shen Jinzhong, waiting for Shen Jinzhong to say something for him.
Shen Jinzhong seemed to have heard nothing. He poured wine for He Yuxiu and even prepared some condiments for her: "Sister Xiu, please try it! I learned this from a famous chef."
He Yuxiu said: "Are all the people here? If they are, I will start eating!"
Shen Jinzhong smiled and said, "You're welcome. Now that Sister Xiu is here, everyone is here. There's no need to wait for others."
He Yuxiu picked up a piece of mutton and said with a smile: "Old Shen, why is the first chair still empty? Aren't you the head of Sanyingmen?"
Shen Jinzhong waved his hand and said, “The first seat belongs to our Great Golden Seal, no one can touch this seat!”
Everyone started eating. Dong Kaibin felt that something was not right and wanted to find a chance to get out. Suddenly, he heard someone outside the door say, "Everyone is here. It's quite lively."
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, only to see Bao Yingchen, the leader of Sanyingmen, walking into the hall step by step with his hands behind his back.
Everyone put down their chopsticks, and all the members of Sanyingmen immediately stood up and saluted the big golden seal, and others also stood up.
He Yuxiu gritted her teeth and said, "Bao Yingchen, I was looking for you. Where is our Old Seven?"
The two sides were about to engage in combat, and many disciples of the Sanying Sect drew their weapons.
"Don't worry," Bao Yingchen sat on the chief seat, looked at everyone, and said slowly, "I've been away from home for a few days and just returned today. You have food and drink here. It seems that you are living well without me."
As the saying goes, keep three points and keep seven points, at least this has been achieved.
Shen Jinzhong quickly explained: "Brother, I called them here to ask everyone to help find you. You haven't been heard from in the past few days, which scared us."
Bao Yingchen waved his hand and said, "Don't say anything. I'm happy that you're doing well. I came back to say three things. First, bring me my golden seal."
Shen Jinzhong hurried into the inner room and took out Bao Yingchen's golden seal.
Now that I have finished the preface, it’s time to get down to business.
The main topic is just three sentences, but it is the key among the keys.
The soup in the pot was boiling and Shen Jinzhong was sweating profusely.
Bao Yingchen said: "The first thing is to make friends. Li Qi is my friend, a friend of our Sanyingmen. This should never be forgotten."
Everyone was startled at first, and then focused their attention on Zhang Xiuling.
Everyone thought that this woman was making up stories, but they didn't expect that Da Jinyin and Li Qizhen became friends.
Zhang Xiuling looked at Shen Rongqing with great pride, and Shen Rongqing kept looking at Bao Yingchen's face.
"He looks weird, like he's been poisoned."
Bao Yingchen's face was pale with a hint of green, and he really looked like he was poisoned.
Bao Yingchen continued, "The second thing is that the blood feud must be avenged. The Chu family hired a spy from our gang to plot against me. I was poisoned and returned to the lobby with my last breath hanging on, just to make you remember that this feud must be avenged!"
Everyone shifted their gaze away from Zhang Xiuling.
Their eyes were all focused on Elder Dong Kaibin.
With the support of the Chu family, Dong Kaibin is about to become the third in command and may even compete for the position of the eldest boss.
Now that the real boss is back, isn’t the traitor he was talking about Dong Kaibin?
Bao Yingchen also looked at Dong Kaibin, who was horrified and didn't know what was going on.
The Chu family plotted against Bao Yingchen?
Is this possible?
Even if there is, it has nothing to do with me!
Dong Kaibin stood up and wanted to explain, but Shen Jinzhong pressed him down on the chair: "Don't move! Wait for big brother to finish speaking!"
Without giving Dong Kaibin a chance to explain, Bao Yingchen picked up the golden seal and placed it in Shen Jinzhong's hand: "The third thing, the gang has to take care of it. I can't do it. According to the rules of the gang, the golden seal will be given to the second brother Shen Jinzhong in the future."
"Brother!" Shen Jinzhong said with tears in his eyes and a trembling voice, "Don't say such discouraging words, I will ask someone to detoxify you right away."
"No need!" Bao Yingchen stopped Shen Jinzhong and said with a smile, "I have finished talking about the matter. Thank you all for your kindness. Come to my Sanyingmen for a gathering. You all can eat and drink well."
After saying that, Bao Yingchen picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of mutton, but before he put it to his mouth, he stopped moving.
He Yuxiu looked at Bao Yingchen, nodded and said, "Old Bao, you are a man with guts!"
Han Yaomen, the head of Qingyun Society, said in tears: "Brother Bao, rest in peace."
Lu Chunying picked up the wine glass and said, "Old hero, I toast to you."
Shen Rongqing still felt that something was wrong, and there were many things wrong.
But the disciples of Sanyingmen were all crying, and the others also had tears in their eyes. It seemed inappropriate to raise questions at this time.
Shen Jinzhong hugged Bao Yingchen and said, "Brother, brother, please answer me, brother, you can't leave."
He cried, and tears flowed down his face.
But he did not forget Li Banfeng's advice that he must not overdo it in this scene.
PS: Whether the performance is realistic or not is another matter. If I use too much force and break the cabbage man, that will be troublesome. Recently, the transcoding is serious. Let us have more motivation and update faster. Please move your little hands to exit the reading mode. Thank you
