It is said that when Jiang Longwei learned that his father had passed away, he quickly left Quelou and returned to Longwei Escort Agency.
In the lobby of the escort agency, Jiang Daogong's sword was half-wrapped in a white cloth and enshrined in front of the memorial tablet on the incense table. All the escorts stared at it with tears covering half of their faces.
Jiang Longwei was surprised to see his father's sword enshrined in the hall but not his father's body. Without saying a word, he ran up to Yang Biaotou with tears in his eyes, grabbed him by the collar, and said angrily: "What's going on?"
When Captain Yang saw Jiang Longwei's behavior, he wanted to pull off Jiang Longwei's hand that was holding his collar. However, remembering how kind Jiang Daogong had been to him in the past, he did not protect the Chief Guard, which was a dereliction of duty. Furthermore, if a conflict arises over such a trivial matter, it is really inappropriate, so one just accepts it silently and ignores it.
Geng Biaotou replied from the side: "On the way to Longhu Villa, I was attacked and besieged by men in black in Qingzhu Forest. The chief escort was poisoned by Baizhangqing's poison and suffered serious internal injuries. Later, at Duckweed Inn, The chief escort had a fight with Xu Wenting and six others and stayed at the Yuehua Inn. Unexpectedly, early the next morning, when we found the chief escort on the street outside the Yuehua Inn, he had been murdered. "
Jiang Longwei heard this, pushed Yang Biao's head back, tears fell, and said: "Do you know who committed the murder?"
Yang Biaotou replied: "I don't know. When we found the chief escort, he was already dead. There were six big characters written in blood on the ground next to him, saying that he was in Bai Yutian."
Jiang Longwei asked: "Why did Xu Wenting attack my father at the Duckweed Inn? Does he know who the murderer is?"
Guard Geng replied, "I don't know. On the morning when the chief guard was killed, six of them were also killed in the wilderness ravine outside the town. I don't know who did it."
After hearing this, Jiang Longwei walked to the desk, knelt down in front of the sword, and said, "Dad, what is this for? You have been righteous throughout your life and have never had any enemies. Even if you have ordinary grudges, you should not be killed. "
Captain Yang said: "Young Master Bai Yutian is helping to find out the cause of the death of the chief escort. I think he will come to the chief escort in a few days to explain what happened."
A bodyguard in the hall approached and said sadly: "Young Master, the chief bodyguard has been assassinated by a gangster. The bodyguard bureau cannot be left without a master for a day. You must take over the position of chief bodyguard as soon as possible."
"Young escort chief, what Hua Biao said makes sense. You should express your condolences! You should take over the position of chief escort chief first."
The other escorts in the hall, except for Yang, Geng and Lin, all agreed.
"Then let's go ahead with the notification. All the talkers from the branch offices will go back to the main helm to express their condolences and nominate the person who will be in charge of the Escort Bureau." Jiang Longwei bowed three times to Jiang Daogong's sword and was helped up by Escort Yang, saying: "Old Yang, I My father was killed, where is his body?”
Chief Geng replied: "Young man, please calm down. In accordance with the last wish of the chief bodyguard, we made our own decision and buried the body of the chief bodyguard at the foot of Sanqing Mountain in Huaiyu."
Hua Biao shouted sternly: "Yang Huailing, Geng Jinzhong, Lin Xiaotian, who gave you such courage! How dare you make the decision without the consent of the family members."
"Yes, Yang Huailing, who gave you such courage!" More than a dozen escorts stood up, furious at the recklessness of Yang Huailing and others.
"Hua Biaotou, forget it, my father did have this last wish." Jiang Longwei bowed slightly to Yang Biaotou, Geng Biaotou, and Lin Biaotou, and said, "You buried my father's body in Huaiyu. , let him get what he wanted, thank you!"
Biaotou Yang, Biaotou Geng, and Biaotou Lin returned the gift. Captain Yang said: "Young Captain, I have sent Captain Ye and three of them to Hongdu Prefecture, Wuchang Prefecture, and Changsha Prefecture to inform the principals of the three branches to return to the chief helm to pay their respects and discuss the establishment of a new chief guard. Things."
Hua Biao stood up, stared at Yang Huailing, and shouted: "Is there any need to think about it? The son will inherit the father's legacy, and the eldest young master is the only choice."
Chief Geng said: "Young escort chief, it's not that we don't agree with you being the chief escort chief, it's actually that your father left a legacy and asked Bai Shaoxia to take over the position of chief escort chief. We will follow the chief escort chief to the north and south." After more than ten years, I naturally have to take the death of the chief escort to heart, and hope that the eldest young master will forgive me."
Hua Biao said: "Young Master, it is only natural for your son to inherit his father's legacy. You cannot listen to this real or false will."
Another escort chief stood over and said: "Young Master, even if the chief escort chief's death is true, we cannot just hand over the escort agency to an unrelated outsider. Hefei, Jinling, Hangzhou, Fuzhou should be All the people in charge of the sub-rudders have been called back. It is up to everyone to decide who will succeed the position of chief helmsman. We cannot just listen to the one-sided words of Yang Huailing and the others, and we still don’t know what their intentions are."
After hearing this, Jiang Longwei glanced at the three escort chiefs Yang, Geng and Lin, and said: "Call back all the division commanders. Who will take over the position of chief escort? It's up to everyone." It has the final say. The Longwei Escort Agency is a foundation that two generations of my ancestors have worked hard to build. With just a true or false will, an unrelated outsider can take charge of the Longwei Escort Agency. Don’t say you are unwilling. I definitely don’t agree with that either.”
Head Guard Lin said: "Young Guard Chief, I have followed your father for more than ten years and have acted as the chief guard. If I am disrespectful to you, please forgive me."
Hua Biao shouted: "Lin Xiaotian, don't be ignorant of good and evil. As the only son of the Jiang family, the eldest young master takes over the position of chief escort. It is a natural thing for a son to inherit his father's legacy. If you want to channel outsiders to disrupt the Longwei Escort Agency, , I advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible. If not, don't blame the brothers for not remembering the old friendship and being rude to you."
More than a dozen bodyguards surrounded Yang Huailing, Geng Jinzhong, and Lin Xiaotian, and shouted: "Yang Huailing, Geng Jinzhong, and Lin Xiaotian have inherited the inheritance from father to son since ancient times. If you don't know what is good and what is good, why don't you continue to talk nonsense here?" Everyone, don’t blame the brothers for driving you out of the escort agency.”
Jiang Longwei thought that when his father was killed, someone must be uneasy and well-intentioned. If the bodyguard agency cannot unite as one and let others take advantage of the opportunity, it will really be a failure of the hard work of two generations of ancestors. Thinking of this, he stood up, pushed away the escorts who were besieging the three escorts Yang, and said: "Old Hua, Lao Lu, what are you doing? Lao Yang, Lao Geng, and Lao Lin have been following my father for nearly two years. For ten years, I have only followed my father's orders, and there is nothing wrong with that. The most important thing is to arrange my father's funeral first. Who will succeed the position of chief escort will be discussed after everyone from each branch has arrived. "
"Yes, young escort chief." Hua Biao and others saw that Jiang Longwei had no intention of forcing Yang Huailing and the others out, so they also backed away.
The housekeeper of the Jiang Mansion came over and asked, "Young Master, do you need to inform all my friends in the past about my funeral?"
Head Guard Yang said: "Guan Guan Qu, the Chief Guard cherished his reputation and loved making friends when he was alive. Now that he has been assassinated, it is time to notify those former friends and ask them to come and express their condolences. Once he comes, they can also send the President a message. The escort's last journey is to consummate the past friendship; secondly, there is no need to send a greeting note to inform them who will be the helmsman of Longwei Escort Agency in the future."
Butler Qu was a sensible person, and he understood Yang Huailing's intention as soon as he heard it. He thought, Yang Huailing just wanted to use the condolences to gather together the former friends of the Chief Bodyguard, so as to express his support for the Chief Bodyguard's death and cheer for the boy named Bai to take over the position of Chief Bodyguard. Personal popularity.
Hua Biao and others have always been close to Jiang Longwei. For their own benefit in the future, they looked at Jiang Longwei together. Although they were quiet and speechless on the surface, their eyes were filled with too much discomfort.
Jiang Longwei glanced at everyone, faced his father Jiang Daogong's sword, and said quietly, "Uncle Qu, just do what Yang Biaotou wants. My father valued loyalty and loved to be lively when he was alive. He has passed away now. Please invite relatives and friends. It is appropriate to come and express condolences.”
Butler Qu said politely, "Yes, young master." and walked away.
Jiang Longwei asked Yang Huailing: "Tou Yang, what kind of person is Bai Yutian?"
Yang Huailing replied: "Young master, Bai Shaoxia is young and handsome, with a friendly face. The chief escort has met him several times, and they all talked happily and fell in love with him. He is a rare young man."
Seeing that Yang Huailing avoided talking about Bai Yutian's abilities, Jiang Longwei became a little suspicious and asked softly: "How is his martial arts? How is his character? Who is his sect?"
Captain Yang replied: "We only got along with Bai Shaoxia for two days. Since we were dealing with the funeral affairs of the chief escort, we didn't have time to ask him about his background. As for his character, he seems to be good, and his temperament is straightforward. One thing is the same. . As for martial arts, I saw him fight with the man in black who used Baizhang Qing's poison to sneak attack the chief escort's head, no matter the outcome."
Head Guard Lu said: "The last time I escorted Qiantang, that kid fought against more than 20 martial arts masters by himself, and he didn't fall behind at all."
Jiang Longwei asked the bodyguard: "Boss Lu, if we, the people in the bodyguard agency, can fight with him, can we perform even one and a half moves?"
Captain Yang replied: "The young escort has the true legacy of the chief escort. If we fight him, Young Master Bai should not get much advantage."
Hua Biao walked up and said, "Lao Yang, how old is the man named Bai?"
Officer Lu answered: "Lao Hua, that guy is only twenty-three or four years old, he's still young!"
Hua Biao said coldly: "Old Yang, you are wrong. A young boy, what qualifications does he have to take over the position of the chief escort of our Longwei Escort Bureau? Moreover, he is still an irrelevant outsider. Don't you have selfish motives? "
"Yes, Lao Yang, you want a boy in his twenties to take charge of the Longwei Escort Agency. Is it convenient for him to control the Longwei Escort Agency from behind?" Escort Lu was very careless and actually said such words. The atmosphere in the hall immediately became tense.
Yang Huailing couldn't bear it any longer and shouted loudly: "Lu Zhaolin, you are such a big bitch. How dare you say evil words in front of the chief escort's tomb? You are not afraid of retribution in the future."
"Shut up, everyone. If anyone speaks harshly to the escort agency again in the future, please leave the escort agency automatically." Jiang Longwei shouted, pulled Lu Zhaolin away, and calmly said to the escort masters: "Everyone is busy with his own business. Go ahead."
When the escorts saw Jiang Longwei's words, they had no choice but to listen. They dispersed and went about their business at hand.
