Chapter 186: checks and balances
At night,
Taiyuan City seems to be more lively and prosperous.
Longcheng Club is located in the suburbs of Taiyuan City. In addition to the clubhouse provided to the rich, it is also the place where Hongqing Cao lives in the north.
In a quiet yard of the Longcheng Club, when Hong Qingchao sat down to taste tea, in addition to Ye Zinan, he was accompanied by Wei Lihui. As for the rest, they were Hong Qing Cao's personal guards, looking around warily.
"The environment here is good, but I feel that one person is missing."
Hong Qingchao said that it was naturally Wei Lixuan. Usually, when he went out or in the main hall of the headquarters, he was accompanied by Wei Lixuan and Wei Lihui brothers, but now that Wei Lixuan has left the world, Hong Qingkao remembered that he was a little unaccustomed to it.
" Li Xuan is a good boy!"
When Ye Zinan finished speaking, he remembered the days when he had been together. What happened on the plum blossom valley pavilion that night had already shed tears in his eyes.
Although Wei Lihui and Wei Lixuan were not her biological sons, she watched them grow up and regarded them as her own sons. Unexpectedly, Wei Lixuan would leave like that night.
Although Wei Lihui sat there and didn't say anything, his eyes were also a little red when he thought of Wei Lixuan who died that night.
Hong Qingkao, as a leader, Wei Lixuan died to protect him. He felt that Wei Lixuan should do that.
Of course, he can do nothing but sigh.
However, now Wei Wu has been promoted from a sword guard to the current chief helmsman of Shanxi, which is an explanation for the dead Wei Lixuan.
When he saw Wei Lihui sitting there silently without saying anything, Hong Qingqi took a sip of tea and asked.
" Li Xuan, what kind of person do you think your father is?"
"Dragon head, he is my father, and I don't know how to evaluate it?"
Wei Lixuan knew what kind of person Wei Wu was, but he did not dare to talk nonsense in front of Hong Qingkao, otherwise he would commit Hong Qingqi's scruples and die.
Wei Wu, as his father, Wei Lixuan said that, and Hong Qingkao had nothing to refute.
Hong Qingqi looked at him meaningfully and said nothing more.
When Ye Zinan just wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, a secretary beside Hong Qing came in and said.
"Longtou, Master, Master Sun, Master Liu, please see you."
"Let them in."
Helian Zhengqing, Liu Zhidong and Sun Xing came in and greeted Hong Qingkao and Ye Zinan according to Hongmen etiquette.
"Dragon Head!"
"sister-in-law!"
Seeing Wei Lihui sitting here and looking at the three people's expression, Hong Qing Cao knew that the three of them came to him in an emergency.
" Lihui, you go back first."
"Yes, the faucet."
"It's very late. I'll go back to rest first."
Generally, Ye Zinan will not interfere in the affairs of Hongmen, and naturally she will not stay.
Wei Lihui and Ye Zinan, just after they left, Hong Qingkao asked.
"Is there anything urgent?"
"Dragon, the news came from there that the helmsman Wei, with the members below, has rushed the Yanzi Gang around Jinzhong back to Lvliang Mountain. It shouldn't take long to surround them and eliminate them and solve the troubles of Shanxi."
The Yanzi Gang, in addition to Hongmen, is the second largest group on the ground in Shanxi. It has expanded from a small gang in Lvliang City to major cities in Jinzhong. Until now, Wei Wu has been promoted to the helmsman of Hongmen Shanxi and drove them back to Lvliang with the members of Hongmen.
Hong Qingqi knows Wei Wu's ability.
However, he has not been given a chance for a long time.
Now that the power of the three Wei brothers in Nanjing has been destroyed, there are only other family forces that threaten Hong Qingkao in Hongmen. Hong Qingkao is also looking for an opportunity to destroy it.
Wei Wu can become the chief helmsman of Shanxi. In addition to Wei Lixuan, Hong Qingcao wants him to fight against the forces of other northwest Hongmen families in Shanxi and stabilize his position in Hongmen.
"Wei Wu is capable, but he has never been given a chance. Now he has made great contributions as soon as he took office and saw him well."
"The leader, Wei's helmsman has the ability. However, I'm afraid that he has not fought against other northwest Hongmen family forces, but has cultivated a new family.
Wei Wu's home turned out to be in Shanxi. If Wei Wu is allowed to develop in Shanxi, won't he cultivate a new family power at that time? Although the power of Wei's three brothers was destroyed, Helian Zhengqing never forgot what Lai Yiding said that night.
Helian Zhengqing and the three are really loyal to Hong Qingkao. At that time, they are afraid of death and really win that prophecy. Wei Wu will replace Hong Qingkao's leading position. What will they do in the future?
After hearing this, Hong Qingkao began to frown and had more wrinkles on his face.
Hong Qing Cao did not accept old age, but he, who was already 50 years old, had to admit that he was really old.
"Dragon, I have a way."
Liu Zhidong stood up and said.
"Dragon leader, as far as I know, there has always been a deep conflict between Wei Helmsman and Deacon Lin. If Deacon Lin is transferred from Shuozhou City to Taiyuan City at that time, it will not only allow Wei's helmsman to continue to eliminate the power of the northwest Hongmen family, but also let Lin's deacon monitor Wei's helmsman, afraid that Wei's helmsman will not dare to do anything else.
In ancient times, the so-called emperor's art was actually the art of checks and balances.
As the leader of Hongmen, he also likes balance. He doesn't like the power of one of the following parties to be too powerful, and then there is an uncontrollable situation like the three Wei's brothers.
When Hong Qingkao heard it, there was a trace of light in his eyes, nodded, and thought this suggestion was good.
Lin Qingxiong, who was also un ambition before, was promoted from a bronze medal to a deacon in Shuozhou City. Hong Qingchao still trusts this person.
Sun Xing stood up and said.
"Dragon leader, Ye Sanye and Deacon Lin have a good relationship. I heard that the two are brothers who recognize each other. Ye Sanye is good at plotting and cooperates with Deacon Lin in the control of force. The two can definitely check and balance the helmsman Wei."
Hong Qing Cao nodded even more.
"How about the mafia?"
"Dragon, the mafia boss replied that in order to strengthen the cooperation between our two communities, we have been notified to let Miss Hong go to Russia to get married."
"It's just that I'm afraid that Miss Hong doesn't even want to go."
When Hong Qingkao and Wei Wu were on their backs, Hong Dongying followed them.
Hong Qingkao will definitely cooperate with the Mafia for his big dream. Hong Dongying, as his illegitimate daughter, is used to marry. He does not feel any pity.
"Hmm! It's useless for her to object. If you want to contact the mafia and confirm a wedding date, you can marry her.
"Dragon, I know, I will follow up on this matter."
Before Wei Yuanpei died, it was he who proposed the marriage between Hong Dongying and the Mafia.
However, now that the three Wei brothers have died, the marriage between Hong Dongying and the sons of the mafia has been handed over to Helian Zhengqing.
Just now, Sun Xing suddenly mentioned Ye Chutian, which reminded Hong Qingkao of Ye Chutian going south to help him deal with Mrs. Li's affairs.
"Ye Chutian, how about going south now?"
"Dragon head, I heard that when Sanye Ye went south, he met the members of the Mo family. However, Third Ye easily saw through the conspiracy of the Mo family.
The Zhen family and other heads of the branch naturally reported Ye Chutian's credit to the Pujiang Automobile Factory. Now Sun Xing is holding a letter, which is a handwritten letter jointly written by the head of the branch below.
Hong Qing Cao took the letter, but when he saw the text above, he clapped his hands and cheered.
In fact, Hong Qingkao did not know that the person in charge of the branch had an exaggerated element in the letter in order to please Ye Chutian.
"Yes, let him come to Taiyuan as soon as he finishes his work."
