The Black Sheep

Above the canal, two major gangs, the Cao Gang and the Salt Gang, grew up with the water. With the arrival of the King of Zhou, civil strife broke out frequently.

First, the salt gang leader was stabbed to death in the chaos, the deputy gang leader Liu instigated the gang night to attack the official office, the young gang leader Wen Tao's whereabouts was unknown; then the Cao gang leader Bai Zhenting was killed, and the young gang leader Bai Shiqi was exploded as his daughter, causing it The chaos in the gang, fortunately, Bai Seventeen had always accumulated prestige, and Zhou Wang sent people to help, not only rescued the Bai gang leader, but also calmed the chaos in the gang by the way.

At the same time that Bai Zhenting was seriously injured and mixed with fans, Bai Shiqi was taking care of the internal affairs of the help while attending the sickness. First, he sent someone to clean up the site of Qian Sai, and then followed up with the sober Bai gang leader back to the Suzhou mansion to recover.

Su Shi saw a severely injured husband who seemed to be ten years old, and was even more sad. He cried hard and said: "I saved my life anyway!"

Half of her life, she followed her husband to eat canal food. The bones of many young and strong men were fed the silt at the bottom of the river. Bo Zhenting was able to come back alive at an age. It was really blessed by the Bodhisattva. She wished to go to the monastery tomorrow to pay her wish.

After this incident, Bai Zhenting actually saw a lot of things. After a few days, his body improved a little, so he summoned the deputy gang leader Song and several sub-rudder leaders, and Bai Shiqi had a small meeting in front of the bed, dragging the sick body to express To resign—Anyway, looking at the degree of Zhou Wang’s care for his son, he wouldn’t be afraid of being chased by his enemies after resigning.

Although the host of the Bai family who has gone through countless nights and lakes has a grumpy temper, he is extremely pragmatic. In addition, Zhou Wang personally visited the patient and repeatedly showed his heart. As long as the Bai family agreed to the marriage, he would write a letter and ask for the marriage.

Bai Bangzhu leaned on the pillow and said with a look of vicissitudes of life: "In the past, the old man always wanted to arrange his life for the seventeenth, and he almost lost his life after picking and choosing. Hey, there is no time to ask for life. It's up to her own wishes, as long as she is willing, the old man is fine!"

Bai Shiqi has been a thief since he was young, and he is not willing to obey when he is pressed on his neck.

Zhou Wang had long been arrogant in his heart, and he got the quasi-xin'er of Bai Bangzhu, and Chunfeng proudly went to his official duties. This small Caobang meeting also started in front of Bai Bangzhu's hospital bed.

"I'm not as good as before. Even if I get better, I'm afraid I can't afford to be a helper. Deputy Chief Song is very honest, and I don't know if you have any other ideas?"

Song Kaiyuan insisted: "The gang leader is young and strong, and it will be enough to raise a few days. Why do you have to choose?"

Bai Zhenting said: "My own body knows that I have hurt my vitality this time, and I will have a better life in the future. It is better to let the virtuous."

Seeing that the boss of Bai had made his decision, the deputy gang leader of Song exchanged glances with the other sub-rudders, saying: "Since the gang leader is unwilling, it is better for the son to inherit his father's career and let the seventeenth inherit the position of gang leader."

"Is this...I'm afraid it's wrong?" Bai Zhenting was taken aback for a moment, and apologized: "I was selfish in keeping Seventeen as a son without telling everyone. I'm sorry you brothers. But now everyone knows. , Seventeen is a daughter's house, I am afraid I can't help the lord."

One of the leaders said: "Why do you need to be humble? The ability of the young leader is obvious to all. Whether she is a woman or not, she can lead her brothers to a good life."

After the Baihualou Cao Gang’s Qiansai was arrested, the people in the Cao Gang were panicked. Following the Suzhou officialdom, they were upset by Zhou Wang’s people. Many officials from the salt road to the water transportation and local government offices were deposed. After the prison, there were some who found out the evil deeds, and didn't even save the good head.

During the extraordinary period, Zhou Wang Leiting's method, as long as the evidence is complete, even the procedure of sending to Beijing for review by the Ministry of Criminal Justice is exempted, and the original law is handled.

Today, officials on Jiangnan Road have also gone seven or eight out of ten. Some officials who can stay in place tenaciously are still in the position of "staying on duty to check and make up for their merits." They are even more diligent and clean, and dare not go too late.

Officials who want to come to Beijing to be awaiting post will soon be transferred, which can be regarded as alleviating the pressure on talents in Beijing.

Under such circumstances, the good relations that the Caobang had previously established with checkpoint officials along the way were all gone. Everything had to be re-run. The rest of the sub-rudder owners felt painful when they thought of this.

Song deputy chief loyalty has more than opportunity to change. He has always been troubled about establishing diplomatic relations with foreign countries. He has become accustomed to staying at the rear to ensure logistics. Two days ago, he heard that Bai Bangzhu was retreating, so he met with the sub-rudder in private. There was Zhou Wang’s remarks at the Cao Gang meeting, and Bai Shiqi was indeed shrewd and capable. He was Chu Qiao among the young and middle generations of the help. Everyone had already discussed how to deal with the situation after the helper had chosen a son. It was the deputy leader of Song who had a good answer at the moment.

"I'm old, and it's not as aggressive as a young man. The young leader is young and promising. Whether it is a jiro or a girl, he is enough to take on the heavy responsibility. If the leader really wants to rest, he will be succeeded by the young leader. I have nothing to wait. Dissent!"

Song Yuankai's words won the unanimous approval of the other sub-rudder owners.

"It's exactly, I can't wait for the young gang leader to be talented, and agree to the young gang leader to inherit the position of gang leader!" I was anxious to throw this hot potato out quickly to deal with the chaos in front of me.

Bai Shiqi always has to say a few words of modesty: "The experience and talents of ranked uncles and uncles are better than me. I am still young, and I can still run errands, but it is absolutely impossible to be a helper!"

Song Yuankai's first refusal: "The helper is tough, but he needs to heal his wounds for a while. Even if the lesser has a lack of experience and has the helper's guidance, he can handle the internal affairs of the helper if he wants to come. Why do you have to be self-effacing?!"

Everyone unanimously supported it, and Bai Shiqi's succession to the position of gang leader became a certainty.

The new leader of the Caobang succeeds to the throne, and the guests of the banquet are always told.

Bai Shiqi was busy going round and round, and several of them stayed up all night to understand the situation of each sub-rudder. It happened that the leaders of each sub-rudder of Jiangsu Caogang were in Suzhou, which was two-phase convenience.

Most of the Caobang guys are blind, relying on their courage to beg for life on the water, and most of the people who can achieve the sub-rudder rely on their fists and excellent water skills. Although Bai Shiqi is a woman, there are more women on the canal who are asking for life, but they are not as capable as Bai Shiqi.

Not only is she literate, she is not weak, she is also handy in dealing with officials along the way. In addition, she is considerate for the brothers under her hand and has a business mind. The brothers who have followed her on the boat in the past few years have had a good life, Xiao Shi Waiting for someone's death made everyone feel that she was affectionate and righteous. With the addition of Zhou Wang's power, everyone had no reason to refuse.

Zhongfen rudder masters gathered in the Bai Mansion and discussed with her about everything in the house. The lights in the hall were turned off for several days until it was dawn. On this day Bai Shi was lazy and took some time to go to the back house and wanted to go to Su's house. The inside was loose and loose, and I didn't expect to be intercepted by Lady Song Si on the way.

"Master--" She stood on the side of the road sadly, gaunt and haggard a lot, with red blood in her eyes, seeing that it was even harder than Bai Shiqi who was busy helping with internal affairs for several days and had not slept well.

Bai Shiqi clenched a fist to his lips in embarrassment: "Ah... you all know, right?"

Song Si Niang Ziran weeping: "...They all say that the Lord is a woman? I don't believe it! Unless the Lord tells me personally!"

When she was fourteen years old, she met Bai Seventeen who helped her with a knife. She helped her rise to fame all the way. A heart was lost on Bai Seventeen. Later, she became the concubine of the young master of Bai Young. I was ecstatic, but I didn't expect a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and my beloved became a female Jiao'e.

Bai Shiqi now dares to do something to Song Si Niangzi, touching her soft sideburns, quite apologetic: "I'm sorry, if Si Niangzi doesn't dislike it, it's better to be my righteous sister and choose for you in the future. A beloved, I will do a beautiful wedding for you?

Song Si's tears couldn't help falling down: "My beloved is you!" She leaned in timidly, hugging her neck and crying.

——She didn't know how many times Xiao had thought about this embrace, but she never thought that when she leaned over, she was destined to miss this life.

The more she thought about it, the more sad she was, and she was so sad that she was crying.

Bai Shiqi Wenxiang Nephrite is in his arms, just want to say: Lao Tzu's wound hurts!

In fact, the place where she was stabbed by Wen Tao has not been completely healed, but there are too many things one after another, and there is no time to recuperate. Even Su Clan and Bai Zhenting don't know that she still has injuries.

When Qiu Yunping heard the sound, she saw Song Si from a distance with her arms around the neck of Young Master Bai and letting out grief in her arms, like a woman abandoned by her beloved, her heart is extremely complicated.

Young Master Bai is accustomed to being a bachelor, and he is skilled in molesting the little girl, but his ability to coax people is really bad. There is only one sentence over and over again: "Hey, don't cry..."

Song Si Niangzi cried more fiercely.

*****

Su has a righteous daughter, she is still a well-behaved and beautiful little padded jacket who does not know how many times better than her biological Bai Shiqi. Not only can she chat with her, but she can also explain her boredom, even Ms. Su’s religious beliefs. I also extremely recognized that listening to her talk about faith can sit still for an afternoon, which greatly relieved Ms. Su's regret of being inadequate in her small padded jacket.

Song Si Niangzi also tasted the difference from this mother-daughter interaction.

When Su was the mother-in-law, I always felt that I was fussy and alienated; after becoming the righteous daughter of the Su family, even the wife in the Su family’s house met her with a smile, and treated her as a daughter-in-law and a daughter-in-law. But it's different.

Bai Shiqi changed hands to solve the "inner house problem", so he focused on helping, until the day of the banquet.

The succession to the throne of the new gang leader is a major event for the water gang. Not only the brothers on the water boat came to congratulate the new gang leader, but also the old wealthy merchants with Bai Zhenting in Suzhou City and the big merchants who used water boats to transport goods all came to congratulate.

Bai Shiqi is still dressed in men's clothes, and he is even more sassy and capable. He greets the guests personally with the deputy gang leader Song, and the helms also help out socializing. The old gang leader Bai Zhenting sits in a wheelchair waiting in the main hall and greets many old friends , To support their own cubs.

The Su clan brought Song Si Niangzi to greet the family members, and introduced the newly-acquired daughter to everyone.

The Bai Family Mansion is full of guests and it is very lively.

Today, Bai Shiqi toasted with the elders in the seat one by one, with Huang Youbi's homemade hangover pill under his tongue, and he was able to cope with it easily.

She usually socializes with Bai Zhenting, and the guests here heard the rumors, and when I heard that she took over as the leader, she saw that she was showing her in men’s clothing today. She still looks like the suave and romantic look of the past, and she feels that she will take over. The role of gang leader is a matter of course.

Moreover, the domestic guests and Thai half have to take advantage of the convenience of Caobang. Nothing is more secure than the binding of interests. They praised Bai's 17 years of accomplishment for being able to support such a large stall.

Halfway through the banquet, the steward at the door received a big gift and heard about the name of the other party.

After Bai Shiqi had a round of wine toasts, he was surrounded by many friends of the same age in the past to congratulate her. Compared with her identity, everyone was more curious about her gender. After drinking her several glasses of wine, he kept asking: "Seventeen, Are you really a daughter?"

"Seventeen, are all rumors true?"

Bai Shiqi smiled but smiled: "How about the real? How about the fake? Anyway, we are still brothers. Are you going to break our relationship with me?"

She is now the leader of the Caogang, and I heard that she has climbed the tree of King Zhou. Everyone is not a fool. She immediately smiled and said, "Of course not. It will be the same in the past, but I only hope that something will come to you in the future. On your head, don't shirk it."

Bai Shiqi raised his glass: "It's easy to talk!" His neck was dry.

The steward at the door looked at the gap and quietly came over and whispered: "Seven Lang, someone at the door sent a generous gift, saying that it was the second son of the Huaiyang Houfu."

Bai Seventeen: "...Zongfeng?" The guy who made the sisters of the brothel change their appearance?

When did the Caobang have such a big card, and dare to work, the second son of the Huaiyang Houfu came to give gifts in person?

"Please go to the study. I will pack up and go over immediately." She awakened and ordered.
