Chapter 603 This is forcing the emperor to abdicate
In the venue, the Red Gate boss Longtou Qiu Ye sat in the main seat, and on both sides of him were the big guys, giving people a feeling of opposition.
If seating is a feeling, then speaking is a real opposition.
"As everyone knows, Old Huang and Xiao Gaoming of the Black One Hall were killed by Lei Zhen. As a result, we at the Red Gate have taken a series of measures..."
First, explain the situation. Although everyone knows it, it is necessary to restate it to pave the way for the rest of the story.
The speaker was Peng Yue, who did not hide his indignation at all.
If a man's wife or son is beaten, he will definitely protect his wife and children. It doesn't matter who is right or wrong.
"But with Qiu Yang's assassination attempt failing and him being kidnapped by Lei Zhen, all assassination attempts were temporarily halted because he was the only son of the Red Gate master, Longtou."
"What's more, Qiu Yang works at Red Gate Headquarters. It's reasonable to consider his safety first, so suspending the assassination is understandable."
Peng Yue glanced at Qiu Ye and continued speaking.
"But when we were investigating, we discovered a very serious problem involving our uncle's dragon head."
There was a sudden commotion in the venue, the bosses whispered to each other, and all eyes fell on Akino's face.
"Peng Yue, what exactly is this matter involving Master Longtou? We at Hongqi are not quite clear about this. Please explain it clearly."
"The green flag is unclear, so don't keep us in suspense."
“…”
The first to speak were the other four flag halls, representing the other four powerful forces of the Red Gate.
Although on the surface they are required to provide unified dispatch from the headquarters, in reality each of them has decision-making power and controls different areas.
Now that they were invited by Peng Yue, they put enough pressure on Qiu Ye.
"Uncle Longtou, should you speak or should I?" Peng Yue stared at Qiu Ye with a sharp gaze.
As for the identity of brother-in-law, it has been thrown aside long ago.
He wanted to force this old man, the leader, to either give up Lei Zhen or bear the pressure of the entire Red Gate.
"Lei Zhen is my nephew."
Facing more than ten pairs of eyes below, Akino spoke.
"Qiu Yang was sent by me. His purpose was to be captured by Lei Zhen, thus suspending the series of assassination attempts."
He is open and honest, and there is nothing wrong with admitting what he has done, because he is the leader and he has to take responsibility for what he has done.
"Uncle Longtou, what you did was inappropriate."
"How can you convince others with such behavior?"
“…”
There was a lot of discussion below, but in fact everyone knew that it was just a performance.
"Everyone, please be quiet for a moment. Let me explain." One of the leaders pulled out a stack of documents and said, "Although Lei Zhen assassinated Old Huang and Xiao Gaoming, he also indirectly helped us eliminate the termites. These are the crimes they have committed since taking office."
"Don't we have hands?"
Someone nearby immediately expressed his objection.
"Whether it's Old Huang or Xiao Gaoming, they are both members of our Red Gate. Regardless of their crimes, they were assassinated by outsiders and we must avenge them."
"That's right. Let alone them, even if ordinary members of the Red Gate were killed by outsiders, they would have to get back at them. Otherwise, where would the dignity of the Red Gate be..."
It became noisy again because the truth was there.
Matters within the Red Gate will naturally be handled by the Red Gate. It is not your turn as an outsider to come and kill anyone.
Since you dare to kill, you must pay with your life.
Looking at the chaos below, Akino remained calm.
This is something that was deliberately thrown out. It is not only ineffective, but also counterproductive.
"Uncle Longtou, what do you think we should do about this matter?" Peng Yue asked.
At this moment, Akino looked helpless, but that was just an appearance. His mind was not on this at all, but on observation.
I throw out something that has no persuasiveness just to see who will stand on my side and who will jump out.
Those who remain silent and support you are on your side, while those who jump out to criticize you basically need to be eliminated.
"Lei Zhen is my nephew, the son of my sister Qiu Han." Qiu Ye looked around at everyone and said, "I couldn't protect my sister back then, so how could I not protect my sister's son?"
Taking a tough attitude means protecting Lei Zhen.
But the tougher you are at this time, the more powerless you will become and the more you will be criticized.
"Hahaha, this is our uncle, the leader. He allowed gang members to be killed by outsiders and instead protected the murderer."
"Master Longtou, I just want to ask you one thing, can you give an explanation to the millions of members of the Red Gate Gang?"
Peng Yue launched an attack and further pressured Qiu Ye.
People from the other four flag halls also made accusations.
"Master Longtou, you really can't convince the public like this. It's disheartening."
"If you can do whatever you want and ignore your fellow gang members while you're in the position of leader, then we need to consider whether you're fit to continue leading the Red Gate."
“…”
Step by step, the level and severity of the incident escalated, and his leadership ability began to be questioned.
Akino was suddenly forced into a corner. If he didn't launch a powerful counterattack, he would have to step down from this position today.
"Everyone, what else can we do now that the person is dead?" a big man shouted, "Let me ask you, who here doesn't have selfish motives?"
Another big boss slammed the table and stood up.
"What? Are you trying to force the emperor to abdicate? Master Longtou has only just acknowledged that Lei Zhen is his nephew, and he hasn't even mentioned a solution yet, yet you're all so impatient?"
The big man next to him stared at Peng Yue coldly.
"Peng Yue, you are so impatient, what are you afraid of? As far as I know, you also have a share of the money that Old Huang embezzled..."
Not only were they all on Peng Yue's side, but Qiu Ye had also had many die-hard fans after so many years of operation. He directly changed the subject and accused Peng Yue and his men of trying to force the emperor to abdicate.
Forcing someone to abdicate is much more serious than protecting someone.
"Mr. Tang, you'd better explain clearly what you mean by forcing the emperor to abdicate?"
"You are forcing the emperor to abdicate!"
"Uncle Longtou has ignored all his fellow gang members and insisted on protecting his own nephew. This is an abuse of power in itself."
"Abuse your mother, Yang, who do you think you are? Do you have the right to speak here?"
“…”
Both sides slammed the table and glared at each other, making the meeting place as noisy as a vegetable market.
As for the deaths of Lao Huang and Xiao Gaoming, it is not important at all. What is important is the position of the old man leader.
"Bang!"
Akino slammed the table, his face gloomy.
The noise died down, and the people on both sides sat down, glaring at each other.
"Lei Zhen is the only son of my sister Qiu Han. My sister married Lei Hongwu." Qiu Ye said coldly: "Lei Hongwu is dead, Qiu Han is also dead. Who can tell me how my sister died and who killed her?"
Wherever his eyes fell, many people unconsciously turned their faces away, avoiding meeting Akino's eyes.
This was an unsolved case back then, but not here!
"My sister is also a member of the Red Gate. Do you need me to uncover this case?"
No one spoke, because once the truth was revealed, many people would be unable to escape responsibility, and the Red Gate would become even more scattered.
"snort!"
Qiu Ye snorted coldly, slowly stood up, and was full of momentum.
"If you can kill Lei Zhen within three days, he will be considered unlucky. If you can't kill him, this matter will be over."
"I, Qiu Ye, will never interfere. If anyone disobeys, I will be punished by heaven and earth!"
"Let's start voting. If you vote, please raise your hands!"
The voice echoed in everyone's ears. Whether it was the other four flags or Peng Yue, they all knew that they could not force this old man to take the lead anymore, otherwise, once the unsolved case of that year was revealed...
"I agree with Master Longtou's proposal!"
"agree!"
"agree!"
“…”
Everyone raise your hands to approve this motion.
