"Major Secret" (2 more flowers)

During these days, Xu Lang has not relaxed his investigation of the Hongmen and rescued Xiao Linggong. Although he did not find the specific whereabouts of Xiao Linggong, he made a great breakthrough, allowing Xu Lang to gain a further understanding of the entire Hongmen.

Before, although Xu Lang knew that the Hongmen was very big, he had no specific concept. However, after these days, he had a special understanding of the Hongmen and was surprised to find that he still had too much of a lack of understanding of the Hongmen power.

The Hongmen has a long history and originated in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. His disciples were spread all over the world.

Some say: "The Hongmen is the Hanmen. Because they lost the land in the Central Plains, they would become the "Hong" in the character "Han" (traditional "Han" is "Han").

Some say: "Because the Ming Taizu was named Hongwu in the reign of Emperor Taizu, he used the name Hong."

According to the Hongmen Secret Book, the Lord of the Hongmen was Zhu Hongzhu, the military advisor was Chen Jinnan, and the general was Wan Yunlong (the pseudonym of Zheng Chenggong) and others. They first started in Fujian and took Shaolin Temple as the initiative. At first, Shaolin Temple was famous for its martial arts. Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty was jealous of them and ordered Shaolin Temple monks to go on a expedition to the Western Regions. Later, after he came back, he used the trouble to kill the hero Zheng Junda. He also sent troops to burn Shaolin Temple, and many monks in a group of monks escaped. Among them, Chen Jinnan organized the Tian and Earth Association, hoping to cultivate forces to seek revenge. He once sent his five subordinates, Cai Dezhong, Fang Dahong, Ma Chaoxing, Hu Dexing, Li Shikai and others to set up a tributary. This is the so-called "Five Patriarchs" of the Hongmen.

There is another saying: "During the reign of Emperor Chongzhen in the late Ming Dynasty, there was Yin Hongsheng, a native of Taiping County, Shanxi Province, also known as Hong Ying, who was wise and skillful, loyal and chivalrous. Heroes from all directions came to visit him. It was called Jixian Pavilion at that time. After Emperor Chongzhen died for his country, the Qing army entered the pass. Shi Kefa, a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, led his army to resist the Qing army south in Yangzhou, but could not resist. Shi Kefa was martyred for the country. Yin Hongsheng surrendered to the Ming Dynasty general Huang Degong. Later, Huang Degong was defeated by the Qing army again, and Huang committed suicide. Yin Hongsheng led his troops to continue fighting with the Qing army, but failed. After being shot dead by the Qing soldiers, his son Hong Xu and Hong Sheng's men went to Hangzhou to join the King of Lu. However, unexpectedly, Lu Wang surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and Hong Xu then defected to Zheng Chenggong again. Hong Sheng's disciples Cai Dezhong, Fang Dahong, Hu De, Li Shikai, Ma Chaoxing and others all became Zheng Chenggong's generals and continued to fight fiercely with the Qing soldiers. When they fought fiercely with the Qing soldiers under the leadership of Shi Kefa, they were besieged by the Qing soldiers very quickly, and Shi Kefa died for the country. They broke out and agreed to meet in the future, and when they met in the future, they should report the word "Hong" as a secret code, and continue to fight, which is of significance to restore the Ming Dynasty."

Xu Lang also discovered a very interesting phenomenon. The origin of the Hongmen is different, and it has never been consistent because it has many pseudonyms, including the Red Gang, Sandianhui, Sanhehui, Tiandihui, Zhigongtang, etc.; there are still branches and alias, which are numerous. However, the unanimous ones are called "Heaven and Earthhui" to the outside world, and the Hongmen to the inside.

Xu Lang was particularly interested in the Hongmen, which was also called "San.Dianhui". Xu Lang's stomach hurts because of laughter. How could such a serious organization give such a name that ruins the three views?

Xu Lang also discovered that among the Hongmen, there were "the ancestor of the Hongmen", "the first ancestor of the Hongmen", "the fifth ancestor of the Hongmen", "the fifth ancestor of the Hongmen", and "the fifth ancestor of the Hongmen".

The so-called "ancestors" are all the predecessors who have a long history, aged and have made great contributions. All the ancestors in front of them have died. Now, there are still the "Five Ancestors of the Hongmen," who have the authority to abolish the Hongmen, the boss of the Hongmen, and do not interfere with the rules of the sect leader in normal times. Once the sect leader violates the rules, they have the power to depose the sect leader.

The fifth ancestor of the Hongmen was called the "ancestor" by the Hongmen disciples. Many Hongmen disciples did not know the existence of the ancestor. They were not qualified, and only high-end members knew about it.

Xu Lang thought to himself that the "ancestor" in the Hong family is probably equivalent to the "heritor" in the hidden family. For example, there is Zhuge Zhengwo, the old man in the Zhuge family, the old man in the Sima family, Sima Jiuzhou, and the old man in the Yang family, the largest hidden family, has the "sacred eagle" in the clan.

Before, Xu Lang had a misunderstanding, mistakenly thought that the Hongmen, the government of the state and the Baolong clan were in the same group, at least had common leadership, common purposes and interests. For example, Xiao Linggong was the leader of the largest white-dao organization in China, the "Yanhuang Hunter", and the Yanhuang Hunter organization was a subordinate organization of the Baolong clan. So, Xiao Linggong was assigned by the "top" and broke into the Hongmen, taking over the position of the boss of the largest underworld "Hongmen", turning the underworld into the White Dao, serving the interests of the country.

However, now, Xu Lang vaguely felt that things might not be as simple as he imagined, and the water in Hongmen was very deep.

Moreover, due to historical reasons, the Hongmen sects were divided into various parts of the world, especially after the historical changes such as the late Qing Dynasty, the Republic of China, and modern China, the Hongmen disciples were scattered around the world, and they worked independently and set up new hills. Although the head stewards had branches in various places, other Hongmen institutions that were overseas also maintained good relations with the Hongmen branch on the surface, but in fact, there was an undercurrent, and everyone wanted to compete with each other, completely get rid of it, and even unify the Hongmen and become the ultimate boss of the Hongmen.

Due to the large number of Hongmen disciples, once the Hongmen disciples in the world are connected together, in terms of number, they will become the largest black and Taoist organization in the world. If they develop, they will become the first black and Taoist organization in any aspect.

What a huge temptation this should be for an ambitious man!

The so-called "The Hongmen in the world is a family" is essentially just empty talk.

This is Xu Lang's in-depth research on the Hongmen over the past few days. He knew that "knowing yourself and your enemy and winning every battle." Since he wanted to deal with the Hongmen, he must have some understanding of the Hongmen.

In fact, Xu Lang did not have to go to war with the Hongmen. It was too late to hide. However, the Hongmen's forces have been active frequently in the past few days, making a big fuss about Huo Yuangang, the son of Chief Executive Huo Jiande, whom he killed.

Xu Lang was originally the scene where Huo Yuangang was accidentally killed, and even left two survivors, deliberately pointing the finger elsewhere. However, the Hongmen forces were tampering with this matter and directly framed him.

The Chief Executive's son died, and it is impossible for the superiors to know that even his father Xu Weiguo knew about it. He came to Jiangdu in person and secretly asked his son Xu Lang whether he had killed Huo Jiande's son Huo Yuangang.

In such a thing, Xu Lang naturally couldn't change his mind easily and insisted: No!

Of course, Xu Lang never leaves any trouble in his work. He killed all the people who went out to make a fuss about him. The two living people he left behind were also killed by him, making it an illusion that they were "killed to silence" by the disciples of the Hongmen. In this way, the Hongmen can be said to be "beaten by the tiger but injured by the tiger."

Xu Lang still sat firmly on Diaoyutai, as safe as Mount Tai.

What Xu Lang didn't know was that a small group of Hongmen forces that he wiped out were sent by two "ancestors" who captured Xiao Linggong.

………

Somewhere, in a hidden place.

Xiao Linggong sat cross-legged and was sealed in the formation by the two ancestors. He was unable to act, but he could speak freely. Seeing the two ancestors' dejected look, he couldn't help but feel amused: "Haha, two ancestors, as expected, your plan to blame Xu Lang failed, right? I have told you a long time ago, don't you be so stupid anymore. Xu Lang is not an ordinary person. How can you be his opponent?"

One of the ancestors couldn't help but say angrily: "Shut up! This time, it was mainly because of the old bastard Huo Jiande who turned against us and lost trust in us. Otherwise, if we join forces, Xu Lang would definitely not be able to escape the French Open!"

Xiao Linggong laughed again and said, "Oh? Is that true? Then do you know why Huo Jiande turned against me? Let me tell you, just because he saw Xu Lang's power and knew the truth of retreating from difficulties. The most important thing is that he still has a conscience deep in his heart and no longer wants to do things that harm the interests of the country and the people. What about you?

As the fifth ancestor of the Hongmen, he is respected and has a high position and power. He should have unified the Hongmen and continued to seek happiness for the country and the people, rather than to divide and divide."

Another ancestor cursed: "Stop talking! Xiao Yuanshan, don't you understand why we want to dismiss you? What have you made the Hongmen over the years? You must know that the Hongmen is a gangster, not a whitemen. However, over the years, the Hongmen has not been promoted or expanded in your hands, but instead makes concessions everywhere. On the world, it has even bowed to other underworld organizations. How can you steal the position of the sect leader?

And don’t think we don’t know anything. You secretly cultivate and support that boy Xu Lang. That boy also has a growing gangster organization called Xinglonghui, right? He has gone from Port to Jiangzhou, Jiangdu, and then to the Central Plains, and his power is getting bigger and stronger. What is your purpose?"

Xiao Linggong laughed again and said, "As the Fifth Patriarch of the Hongmen, you have the power to depose me in principle. Why don't you use normal channels to abolish me? If you depose me, you must hold a meeting openly. Haha, I'm afraid you know that others rarely support you, right?"

"You! Humph! Xiao Yuanshan, listen to me. You are no match for us, and even more so, Xu Lang! You will sooner or later be defeated by our hands!" The two ancestors said viciously.

"Okay, then I'll wait and see." Xiao Yuanshan said with a smile.

Xiaoxiang Pavilion and Chenxiang Pavilion.

Today is the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. The beginning of spring is the beginning of spring. The two families are particularly lively, setting off firecrackers and making dumplings, having fun. Xu Lang is happy in it, and it is so beautiful.

As he looked at it, Xu Lang's eyes couldn't help but fall on the two little girls, Wang Xinyi and Qiqi, the second-generation school beauty representatives. These two little beauties are just like big beauties, and they are developing too fast and perfect, right?

After the fifth day of the Chinese New Year, the sixth day of the Chinese New Year is the sixth day.

As the saying goes, "Three, Six, Nine, Go Out". Starting from the sixth day of the lunar month, the atmosphere of the New Year has become weaker and weaker. When you start work, you will return to your original city. The Spring Festival travel rush also ushered in the peak of return.

On the sixth day of the lunar month, the girls such as Huang Ruonan, Huang Yanan, Tang Yan, etc. who returned to their hometown for the New Year rushed back one after another. They had not seen each other for a long time. When they met, they hugged each other.

Xu Lang hid on the side and looked at the beauties happily.

Especially the other representative of the second generation of school beauties, Huang Yanan, this girl is already a 16-year-old girl after the Chinese New Year and is already an adult, and he couldn't help but feel relieved.

"Brother-in-law, I'm going to wish you a New Year's greetings. Where is the New Year's money?" Huang Yanan smiled and stretched out her hand and asked for a red envelope for Xu Lang.

Xu Lang was amused, "How old are you, do you still need New Year's money?"

Unexpectedly, Huang Yanan, the girl, said in Xu Lang's ear when people were not paying attention, "Brother-in-law, do you think I'm older? When I was sleeping at home, my sister told me that I'm an adult woman."

Xu Lang couldn't help but be shocked. This girl has always been silent and never stops.
