#192 - Chapter 192 Question

Even if all the high-level members of the Green Bamboo Gang are killed, the remaining ordinary disciples are still members of the Green Bamboo Gang, and it is not easy to change their stance.

But Cheng Feng believes that as long as the Hongmen provides enough attractive benefits, coupled with a tougher attitude, someone will be willing to join the Hongmen's camp.

After all, no one wants to always follow a failing organization, especially when they see a better opportunity.

Next, Cheng Feng and Wang Hu discussed the specific absorption plan in detail.

How to screen suitable candidates, how to provide attractive treatment, how to arrange their job positions, and other issues need to be carefully arranged.

Only by making full preparations can we ensure the smooth progress of this absorption operation.

At the same time, the Hongmen is also closely monitoring the dynamics of the remaining members of the Green Bamboo Gang to understand their reactions and responses.

If divisions or conflicts occur within the Green Bamboo Gang, then the Hongmen must seize the opportunity to accelerate the absorption process.

In short, for the remaining members of the Green Bamboo Gang, the Hongmen is now maintaining a vigilant attitude, both to prevent them from becoming a new threat and to strive for them to become a boost to the Hongmen.

Fortunately, the absorption plan went very smoothly. While the Hongmen disciples were resting, the news of the Green Bamboo Gang's destruction instantly spread throughout Qingxi County.

Anyone with a little status knew the news.

The remaining Green Bamboo Gang disciples were in an uproar. The once-powerful Green Bamboo Gang collapsed instantly, and the small halls scattered throughout the south of the city sought a way out.

There were also loyalists, but after hearing that the Hongmen had killed all the Green Bamboo Gang headquarters and that no high-level officials had escaped, they all retreated.

The leaders are gone, so what can they use to contend with the powerful Hongmen?

At this moment, they all had a letter from the Hongmen Sect Master on their desks.

The general idea was that the high-level members of the Green Bamboo Gang had all died in battle, all because the high-level members had plotted against the Hongmen, and even poisoned the Hongmen Sect Master's family. The Hongmen was also forced to fight back, but it was only successful.

Looking back at the Green Bamboo Gang's establishment, it has secretly harmed many small gangs. It is really retribution, and no one can be blamed. However, these have nothing to do with the Green Bamboo Gang's bottom-level members. Now that the Hongmen is in a period of expansion, the Hongmen is willing to treat them with the same specifications. All rules are equal, and there is no distinction between insiders and outsiders.

If you are unwilling to join the Hongmen, then you can leave within two days, but you don't need to take away the silver and property. This is the property of the Hongmen, otherwise it will be investigated to the end.

Most of the remaining members of the Green Bamboo Gang defected to the Hongmen. Only a few people really couldn't get over the hurdle in their hearts. They allowed the Hongmen disciples to search their bodies and obtained their freedom.

The Hongmen replaced the Green Bamboo Gang as the leader of the gangs in the south of the city, causing the leading gangs in the other three districts to urgently adjust their deployments. The gang leaders' eyes were filled with astonishment, and then their voices were serious and low: "Investigate, go and investigate quickly, what is going on?".

The leaders of the Black Snake Gang in the west of the city and the Red Star Gang in the east of the city put down their work and focused on this matter.

Zhong He in the north of the city heard the instructions and vigorously spun the iron balls in his hands. His brows were slightly furrowed, and he didn't know what he was thinking for a while.

The magistrate of Qingxi County smiled contemptuously when he heard the news: 'Take your time, don't rush,' and then ignored it.

In the carriage, Cheng Feng was inspecting his territory, which had expanded dozens of times, as if he were dreaming.

"Sect Master, where are we going next?" The disciple driving the carriage asked softly, interrupting Cheng Feng's thoughts.

"Go to the market in the south of the city. I want to personally see the people's reaction to this change." Cheng Feng opened his eyes, his eyes flashing with determination and contemplation.

The market was still bustling with activity. The vendors' shouts and children's laughter intertwined, as if everything was normal.

The world of ordinary people is completely different from the real world of gangs.

Under the surface calm, undercurrents are surging, and every pair of eyes may hide unease and expectations for the future.

He strolled through the crowd, stopping from time to time to listen to the conversations of vendors and people, and listen to their voices.

Some people applauded the demise of the Green Bamboo Gang, while others worried that the rise of new forces would bring greater turmoil. More people hoped that life could return to peace as soon as possible and no longer be disturbed by gang fights.

"Sect Master, look at this..." A disciple pointed to the Hongmen disciples who were shouting everywhere in the distance, and the onlookers.

Cheng Feng watched those Hongmen disciples, who were extremely flamboyant when walking through the streets, pulling at the vendors' stalls.

He directly sent the disciple driving the carriage to invite them over.

Looking at the ordinary person asking himself, a Hongmen disciple, to come over.

Zhang Li immediately became displeased, pointing to the clothes on his body, "Did you see that? The Hongmen is now the leader in the south of the city. Are we the kind of people you can just invite over?".

A questioning voice suddenly came from behind: "Then how can we invite you to let go of these ordinary vendors?".

"Of course it's money. The Hongmen has just become the leader in the south of the city, and everything needs to be taken care of. In order to maintain your livelihood, you have to pay some protection fees, right?

The question over there was even more intense: "Isn't the Hongmen's protection fee only collected at the beginning of each month? It's not time yet?".

The Hongmen disciple became angry and ashamed: "What the hell do you know? Who do you think you are? The Hongmen Sect Master? Why are you meddling so much?".

Zhang Li turned his head to look at the man, preparing to teach him a lesson.

As a result, he saw a familiar yet unfamiliar face.

He was just a new disciple who had just been recruited into the Hongmen. He had only seen Cheng Feng's portrait. If he wanted to see Cheng Feng in person, it would only be when Cheng Feng spoke at the action meeting, but the new disciples were all in the back, so how could it be his turn?

The face on the portrait suddenly appeared in reality, and Zhang Li was also flustered: "Sect, Sect Master?".

Cheng Feng didn't even look at the disciple's unbearable performance, and said angrily: "I'm asking you a question! When did the protection fee change time? Who instructed you? What's your name? Which hall are you from?".

Zhang Li was pressured by Cheng Feng's aura after just killing someone last night and didn't dare not answer: "My name is Zhang Li, from Gui Hall. The instruction was done according to the captain's instructions."

Cheng Feng laughed in anger: "I just took down the Green Bamboo Gang, and today someone is pretending to be powerful? Okay, okay, Zhang Li, right? Come with me."

The people around were dumbfounded when they heard that the Hongmen Sect Master was here, and they distanced themselves from Cheng Feng.

They thought that the small vendor was going to be unlucky, but they didn't expect that Cheng Feng would give him two taels of silver and take away the arrogant disciple. How satisfying!

After Cheng Feng's carriage drove far away, the people discussed and praised him.

Cheng Feng didn't have the heart to pay attention to the people's thoughts, but he had anger in his heart.

The family only has a little surplus grain, and a mouse has come in. If this is not investigated clearly, how can the Hongmen have a good development?

"Someone, summon the Deputy Sect Master and the three Hall Masters. The Hongmen Great Hall is holding a meeting." Cheng Feng suppressed his anger and said calmly.
