417 Chen Jie took it calmly, but shocked everyone around him.
A small gang leader of a local sect, well, not yet a small hall master.
How did the Princess of Runan, who ruled over seven routes and eighty-one prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River, get together? It sounds very fantastical.
At this time, Old Monster Liu was secretly shocked. His brother Jiu Si was indeed not an ordinary person. He could actually collude with the Inspector. This time his position was secure, and even Yelu could not touch him.
Look, this is a genius. When I go back, I must teach that good-for-nothing of mine a lesson. He is arrogant every day. I must make him clearly aware of the gap between him and the Jiusi brothers.
Wu Hong glanced at Chen Jie and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up. He was worried about his brother just now, but he didn't expect that he would find reinforcements in the blink of an eye, and such powerful reinforcements. This time my brother's position is stable.
Pretty Hongyan frowned, wondering when Chen Jiusi had hooked up with the princess of the imperial court. No, she had to find a way. She couldn't let him be seduced by the imperial court. If he became the enemy of Zoroastrianism, hiss...
The pretty beauty frowned, feeling a sense of crisis in her heart. How could she get Chen Jiusi to join the Zoroastrianism?
Hua Sanniang on the other side frowned, thinking that her brother Jiu Si was too charming. When did he hook up with the princess? No, she had to tell Sister Yun Jin that she had to keep an eye on her man, otherwise it would be too late to regret!
Zhou Peng's cheeks were swollen on both sides due to the slap from Ah San, and his back teeth were broken. He looked at Chen Jie with a crooked mouth, his eyes full of jealousy.
Why did Chen Jiusi get all these good things? It was Chen Jiusi who found the Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms, and now the princess is also on Chen Jiusi's side. Why? Why is he so lucky?
Yelu looked at the princess's receding figure, then turned to look at Chen Jie, only to see Chen Jie sitting there, silent and very indifferent.
His eyes experienced several shocks, including anger, surprise, fear, and helplessness, which finally turned into an awkward laugh.
"Hahaha... Jiusi, you know the princess, why didn't you tell me earlier? Look, the flood almost washed away the Dragon King Temple."
Amidst the awkward laughter was Yelu's helplessness. The strong have their own way of ruling. Compared with the princess, he, a small Darughachi from Mianshui County, was just an insignificant official.
She is the daughter of Prince Ruyang, who is the local tyrant of Jiangnan and half of the southwestern region.
I am a subordinate of a subordinate's subordinate.
The difference was not a little bit, and in his eyes, the princess was someone who could decide his life or death with just a word.
Now that Chen Jiusi has a relationship with the princess, no matter how dissatisfied or aggrieved he is, it doesn't matter. He can only reuse Chen Jie and can't even interfere too much.
After all, a word from the princess can decide whether he is still the Darughachi of Mianshui!
Moreover, the rumor that the princess killed three Darughachi along the way as an inspector is not false. If he could kill other Darughachi, what else could Yelu do?
Although he was considered a big root of the Mulan clan (a great family), he could only be considered a branch of the Yelu family and was not even worthy of the attention of the Ruyang Palace.
No wonder Chen Jiusi seemed a lot more assertive recently, it turns out he had managed to climb up the social ladder.
There was a fierce battle going on in Yelu's heart, and finally he had to compromise under the power and could only smile awkwardly at Chen Jie.
Chen Jie has been very indifferent. He is now taking advantage of the power of another. If he says one more word, he will be exposed as a coward. So he simply won't say anything. You can imagine what's going on if you want!
Seeing Chen Jie didn't say anything, Yelu cleared his throat and said, "Everyone, it's getting late. Since the three Qin Ying brothers have died suddenly, let's just ignore them. Let's hurry up and vote. Jiusi has to go see the princess soon!"
After hearing this, everyone looked at each other. Do we still need to vote on this thing?
Yelu's answer was: Yes!
Even if it's just a formality, we have to keep going.
So Yelu said, "I propose that Chen Jiusi be the successor to the next leader of the Fishermen's Gang. Whoever agrees, whoever disagrees!"
Yelu glanced at everyone and asked the core question of this situation.
After hearing this question, everyone said almost in unison: "No problem! We have no objection!"
Seeing this, Yelu smiled and said, "Good, very good. In addition, due to Qin Ying's death, the Xiongying Hall will also be merged into the Fishermen's Gang. As for the Baihu Hall, it's up to you whether you want to keep it or not. Now you have the final say over the entire Fishermen's Gang!"
Yelu said to Chen Jie with a smile, his meaning was very clear, I'm handing over the entire Yu Gang to you, without any constraints, this time you can do whatever you want, isn't that quite considerate!
Chen Jie also understood what Yelu said, and immediately clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Lord Yelu, for your cultivation. I will always be your soldier!"
Yelu has given you face, so you can't not give Yelu face. So at this time, Chen Jie still put in enough gestures, at least to make Yelu feel that Chen Jie is a reasonable person.
Yelu was indeed very satisfied with Chen Jie's humble attitude and said, "Okay, in that case, I declare it!"
"Ninety-four!"
Yelu extended his hand to invite Chen Jie to come up, and then put his hand on Chen Jie's shoulder and said, "I declare that Chen Jiusi will be the leader of the Mianshui Fishing Gang from now on. His inauguration ceremony will be held in seven days. Everyone can attend then!"
After hearing this, everyone responded in unison: "Don't worry, sir, we will definitely attend on time."
Yelu smiled and said, "Jiu Si, I will also participate when the time comes. You must organize the gang affairs well and manage this ceremony well in these seven days."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jie said, "I will definitely not fail in my mission."
Yelu smiled and said, "Okay, I've always thought Jiusi is someone who can accomplish great things. Okay, now it's all right. You are the leader of the Fishing Gang, and you have to take the first seat on the left!"
Yelu directly pushed Chen Jie onto the first chair on his left hand. Chen Jie said nothing when he saw this.
Everyone gave him an approving look. From this moment on, Chen Jie could be considered the number one gang leader in the entire Mianshui County.
If the Thirteen Guardians were to be re-ranked, Chen Jiusi would definitely be ranked first. Then, it would be, Nan Jiusi, Bei Lao Liu...
Of course, these are all jokes. With the death of the old Thirteen Protectors, this ranking has completely become history and it is estimated that it will no longer be ranked in the future. Of course, those who like to gossip will definitely make a new list, but that is no longer important to Chen Jie.
Yelu determined the final theme of this meeting, which was that Chen Jie would officially serve as the leader of the Fishermen's Gang, and a grand inauguration ceremony would be held seven days later.
By then, everyone in Mianshui will know that Chen Jiusi has become the underground master of Mianshui!
The lively meeting ended and everyone walked out, and Chen Jie followed them out.
Old Monster Liu bowed to Chen Jie and said, "Jiu Si, congratulations. By the way, if you need people or items for your inauguration ceremony these days, just let me know. I can use whatever materials my Cao Gang has."
After hearing this, Chen Jie bowed and said, "Thank you, Brother Liu, for your care."
Old Monster Liu waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about this. You and I are brothers."
Old Monster Liu said to Chen Jie with a smile and left immediately. At this time, Chen Jie looked up and saw Wu Hong.
The two brothers looked at each other, Wu Hong nodded slightly, then turned and left. Between the brothers, one is an official and the other is a gangster. Although they are as close as brothers, at this time they have to pretend that they don't know each other and show the indifference of strangers, which is enough to make people sigh.
As he said this, a female voice sounded in his ear.
Chen Jie saw the pretty lady passing by him. With a faint, charming smile on her face, she said, "Boss Chen, the people in the court are all ruthless. Princess, you'd better be careful not to fall into the pile of beautiful women and skeletons. If you do, you will end up dying under their skirts."
Chen Jie looked at her and asked, "Why are you jealous?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Why are you jealous? You are talking nonsense."
The pretty girl's face turned red all of a sudden, and she glared at Chen Jie fiercely. Chen Jie smiled and said, "I told you, if you two sisters work together, you have a chance."
Qiao Hongyan said: "I can't compare to that princess?"
Chen Jie said, "Miss Hongyan, look, if I follow the princess, I can secure my position as the leader of the Mianshui Fishing Gang. If I follow you, I will have to hide from place to place. So I calculated that if you two sisters are together, I will probably be tempted. You alone cannot compare to the princess!"
"you!"
"snort!"
The pretty girl stomped her feet and left angrily. Chen Jie had a smile on his face. This little girl wanted to trick him into joining Zoroastrianism with empty words. But the Zoroastrianism was not a religion he could join now.
After all, according to the history learned in the previous life, it seems that the leader of the Zoroastrianism, the one who is now revered by countless people as Acalanatha, and who is second only to Zhang Zhenren and Mulan National Master Bashiba Living Buddha, the leader Han Shantong, was also killed in battle later.
So joining Zoroastrianism at this time is not a wise choice.
As Chen Jie was thinking this, a voice rang out beside him: "Nine Four."
Chen Jie looked back and saw it was Hua Sanniang.
"Sister Hua, what's the matter?"
Hua Sanniang said, "I know that men have to play along and pretend to please others outside, but I hope you understand that Yunjin is your legal wife. She has a hard life. You must not do anything to let her down just to climb up the social ladder. Otherwise, I will not forgive you!"
Chen Jie was confused. What had I done to offend Yunjin? But when he thought about it, Chen Jie also knew that Hua Sanniang was standing up for Su Yunjin.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Yes, Sister Hua, don't worry, no matter what I do, I will never do anything to let Yun Jin down."
Hua Sanniang heard this and said, "Well, just keep it in mind. I'll leave first."
Hua Sanniang left after saying this, and the last person to come out was Zhou Peng from the Beggar Gang with a bruised face and nose. Zhou Peng glared at Chen Jie fiercely, then turned and left.
Looking at Zhou Peng like this, Chen Jie shook his head. He was just a clown and there was no need to be angry with him.
Thinking about this, Chen Jie turned around and looked at Yelu. Yelu nodded slightly to him, pointed in the direction of the back garden and said loudly: "The princess is waiting for you. By the way, tell the princess that you can all have a feast in the mansion at noon."
After hearing this, Chen Jie immediately clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, sir."
Yelu nodded, his face filled with a harmless and warm smile when he saw Chen Jie leave his sight.
His expression immediately turned ugly. Qimuge, who was standing beside him, looked at Yelu and said, "Master!"
Yelu heard this and said, "It's okay."
"Master, no wonder Chen Jiusi dared to be so arrogant, he actually has a new backer. And Qin Ying's death, do you think it really has nothing to do with Chen Jiusi?"
Qimuge said angrily, and Yelu heard it and said, "It doesn't matter anymore. It doesn't matter how Qin Ying died. Chen Jiusi actually got in touch with the princess. These little tricks are not important anymore."
Qimuge heard this and said, "Master, what should we do?"
Yelu said: "From now on, we can't deal with Chen Jiusi openly, but we can still trip him up secretly. Since the Fishermen's Gang cannot be split, we should find a way to support the Beggars' Gang, let them establish themselves, and then become like the White Tiger Hall, so as to restrain Chen Jiusi."
Qimuge said: "Master, this is too much effort!"
Yelu showed a trace of helplessness on his face and said, "There's nothing I can do. Chen Jiusi found someone I can't afford to offend."
"Remember, don't do anything against Chen Jiusi in the near future. If necessary, you have to help him. We can't lose face for the princess!"
After hearing this, Qimuge frowned slightly, then bowed and said, "Yes, I understand."
Yelu was silent for a moment and then said, "Notify them and prepare a banquet. I will invite the princess to have a banquet at noon today."
After hearing this, Qimuge immediately asked, "Master, what kind of cuisine do you want? You also want to eat sashimi?"
Yelu said: "Prepare more. The princess may not like to eat sashimi, but prepare one portion for me."
"yes."
Upon hearing this, Qimuge immediately agreed.
Yelu has two major hobbies, fishing and eating sashimi. Sashimi is one of his hobbies, to the extent that he cannot do without it for every meal. He will even try some poisonous fish species, such as puffer fish.
The deliciousness of puffer fish is something that cannot be missed for a gourmet like Yelu.
As for the slight poison, firstly, Yelu is strong enough to resist the pufferfish toxin, and secondly, it is too delicious and he really can't resist it.
If humans become addicted to a certain food, they will really risk their lives to eat it, such as puffer fish. Every year, many people lose their lives from eating puffer fish, but people who truly love fish have never been scared away.
That's what Yelu is like.
At this time, in Yelu's back garden, Chen Jie came to the back garden and saw Zhao Ya fishing by the lake with a fishing rod, and the three Ada brothers were standing beside them.
