- ( .) The elders¡¯ meeting was held at the appointed time. (Registered members of .Piaotian Literature recommend this work wo.)
For those who don¡¯t know the truth, this Presbyterian Church is nothing more than a formality.
However, what no one could have imagined is that a good show is about to happen quietly
Tan Fangcheng also did not expect that someone would shake what he regarded as a "hereditary" position. Therefore, when he walked into the Presbyterian Church, his face was still full of spring breeze, and he was not aware of the changes quietly taking place in the Presbyterian Church.
As a close friend of the Tan family, the great elder Huo Keshou also did not notice any changes. When he saw that all the people had arrived, he cleared his throat: "Unfortunately, Duke Tan Liang passed away, which makes people sad. However, the Batavia Gambling House Kapitan cannot be left unattended. According to the custom, sons inherit their father's legacy, and it is a matter of course. . Today, Tan Fangcheng is thirty-three, and he should be the successor. I will invite you all here to see if there are any objections. If there are no objections, then I can make an announcement"
In his opinion, this was a matter of course, but just when he was about to announce it, a voice suddenly sounded: "Great Elder, I have an opinion."
They all looked there and saw that the person speaking was actually Zhu Kuangzhen.
Huo Keshou frowned slightly: "It's Elder Zhu. Does Elder Zhu object to it?"
"Yes, I object." As soon as Zhu Kuangzhen opened her mouth, Tan Fangcheng felt that something was wrong. I saw Zhu Kuangzhen sitting there, with a half-smile on his face: "When Tan Gongguo Liang was alive, he governed well, which is not bad at all. But his son Tan Fangcheng, although he is thirty-three years old, as far as I know. He is just an idle playboy. How can such a person take on the role of Kapitan and convince people?"
He was aggressive as soon as he opened his mouth and showed no mercy to Tan Fangcheng. This made both Tan Fangcheng and Huo Keshou look pale.
Huo Keshou showed displeasure on his face: "Elder Zhu, it's over, it's over. Although Tan Fangcheng has occasionally made small mistakes, it's definitely not what you said. You should always think about Tan Gongguo Liang's kindness .¡±
"It is precisely because of Tan Gong's sake that we don't want the position of Kapitan to be tarnished." Zhu Kuangzhen refused to give in at all: "According to the rules of the Presbyterian Church, if two people object, the Presbyterian Council A vote is about to take place, does the Great Elder want to break this rule? "
Hawkshou glared at him fiercely, but since he had followed the rules. Huo Keshou was helpless: "Who else has the same idea as Elder Zhu?"
"I!"
When this voice sounded, everyone looked around and could hardly believe that it was actually Lin Jin, who had always had a good relationship with the Tan family!
"Elder Lin, you" Tan Fangcheng was so angry that he couldn't even speak.
Lin Li said calmly: "I know Tan Fangcheng best. His character is exactly the same as what Elder Zhu said. This Kapitan position is definitely not suitable for him"
Huo Keshou vaguely felt something was wrong, and he suppressed his anger: "Since both of you are opposed, a vote will be held. But I want to ask the two elders, Tan Fangcheng is not qualified. Who else can hold this position? ?¡±
"I!"
The word "I" was heard again, and Bu Zhongming walked in slowly, bowed to the nine elders first, and then said calmly: "Although I don't have any ambitions, when Mr. Tan is here. More Following Tan Gong¡¯s teachings, he knew how important Jiabi Dan was. Now that Tan Gong is gone, Bu Zhongming is willing to carry on Tan Gong¡¯s legacy regardless of his own abilities"
"Humph, you also know that you are overestimating your abilities" Tan Fangcheng snorted coldly.
Bu Zhongming is not angry either: "Yes, Bu Zhongming is indeed a despicable person. But he is qualified for this position and has the ability to handle everything in an all-round way. If you elders choose me, I will never let you down."
At this point, even Hawkes Shou has no choice. He cleared his throat: "Does Mr. Bu have a guarantor?"
Bu Zhongming smiled slightly, came to Lin Liang, and saluted: "I also ask Elder Lin to be my guarantor."
Lin Liang looked very ugly. After hesitating for a while, he finally nodded
Now Huo Keshou couldn¡¯t understand it even more. Lin Qiang had always looked down on Bu Zhongming, but today he was actually willing to be his guarantor? Now two competitors, Bu Zhongming and Tan Fangcheng, suddenly appeared. According to the rules, he could not favor either one.
He looked at Bu Zhongming and said, "Everyone, there are two candidates now. You can vote."
The result of the vote was even more unexpected. Six of the nine elders actually voted for Bu Zhongming. In this election, Tan Fangcheng was completely defeated.
Tan Fangcheng was stunned, JaneI couldn't believe that such a situation would arise.
Hawkeshou didn¡¯t even know what happened and what happened before. The Presbyterian Church, which has always been united, is actually beginning to have cracks
Bu Zhongming was overjoyed and bowed to each other, promising again and again that he would never let the elders down.
Bu Zhongming successfully took the position of Kapitan, the Batavia gambling house, and the manipulator behind all this was just one person:
Han Heyu!
This man who mysteriously appeared in Batavia and quickly started to turn things around has fulfilled his promise brilliantly. As a reward for him, Bu Zhongming's first gambling house license after taking office was issued to Han Heyu.
¡°On the opening day of Hanji Casino, not only Bu Zhongming and Zhu Kuangzhen came, but also Huo Keshou and Tan Fangcheng. They wanted to see with their own eyes who Bu Zhongming's first gambling house license was issued to, to see if there was anything fishy in it, and to see if there was anything they could use to seize it.
The casino was bustling with activity. Seeing Huo Keshou and Tan Fangcheng arriving, Han Heyu came up to them with a smile on his face: "Great Elder, Mr. Tan, you are here on the 2nd, please come inside, please come inside."
Huo Keshou was concerned about his identity, but he was polite. Tan Fangcheng was not so unreasonable. He looked at the gambling house carefully and snorted: "You are a foreigner, how dare you open a gambling house here?"
Han Heyu smiled slightly and said: "Master Tan, for you and me, we are all foreigners, right?"
Tan Fangcheng's face darkened, but Han Heyu said calmly: "I opened a gambling house here just to make ends meet. I didn't have time to visit Mr. Tan, so I asked Mr. Tan not to remember the faults of others."
Tan Fangcheng didn't say much to him. He stood at a gambling table and looked at it for a while, then suddenly said: "There is something wrong with these dice!"
One sentence. That made all the gamblers stop.
Han Heyu, however, showed no signs of panic: "Master Tan, you are really good at joking. Although my gambling house is newly opened, it is extremely fair. How could you possibly be playing tricks on the dice?"
"I said there must be a problem" Tan Fangcheng said without mercy: "If you take this piece of crap back and check it, you will know whether there is mercury in it Great Elder, if it is true How should I deal with mercury?"
Hawkshou said with a straight face: "Of course we will close the door and drive people away. From now on, we will not be allowed to enter Batavia again"
Han Heyu smiled: "Yes. If you really did something, of course you will be punished. Don't talk about driving people away, even if our hands and feet are cut off, we have nothing to say. It's just that Mr. Tan wants to test the authenticity of the dice. , just check it here. Look, Mr. Bu, Elder Zhu is here, you can tell it in person, but if you take it back and check it, no one knows what will happen"
Tan Fangcheng glared: "Do you still think that I can do anything? Check here with you? That's fine. Please invite all the guests out first."
"I'm afraid it's not appropriate." Han Heyu still smiled: "I've just opened a new store, how can I drive away customers? In front of so many customers, Mr. Tan can just check it out."
"Presumptuous!" Huo Keshou had already made his attitude clear and took Tan Fangcheng's side: "If we really find out that there is something wrong with the dice, wouldn't it mean that we have lost our face? This pair of Master Bu's faces will not be glorious, right? ? This is the first license that Mr. Bu issued after taking office."
Bu Zhongming hurriedly responded: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. There is something wrong with the dice after checking here. I was the first to smash this gambling house. The elder and Mr. Tan, it is better to check here."
He also has good intentions. He could only understand what kind of person Han Heyu was now. Once Huo Keshou and Tan Fangcheng offended him deeply, they were afraid that disaster would be imminent.
It doesn¡¯t matter if others are killed. If something goes wrong between the elder of the Presbyterian Church and the young master of the Tan family, I¡¯m afraid Batavia will be in chaos at that time.
Who would have thought that Tan Fangcheng didn't show any dignity at all, and kept clamoring to take the dice back for inspection, obviously intending to frame Han Heyu.
At this time, a young man who had been standing behind Han Heyu suddenly stood up and said calmly: "Why is it so troublesome to fight?"
As he spoke, he suddenly slapped a few dice on the gambling table, and then slowly raised his hand. The dice had been smashed by him The power of this palm immediately made everyone Was startled.
The young man clapped his hands: "Elder, Mr. Tan, you see clearly, is there any problem with the dice in our gambling house?"
Tan Fangcheng was a little scared now. This was not his territory after all, and the opponent's palm was so sharp. If he was hit,The consequences above would be disastrous
She glanced at him unwillingly: "What's your name?"
"Go back to Mr. Tan, I don't have a name, everyone calls me Xiao Shi."
"Forget it, Fang Cheng, let's go." Huo Keshou said in a low voice, knowing that there was no way he could get anything done today.
Seeing the two people leaving angrily, Han Heyu smiled and asked the guests to continue playing, then called Xiao Shi to his side: "How to chop?"
"Master, it's really troublesome to keep them" Xiao Shi whispered.
Han Heyu nodded: "Go and do it, be more agile"
Xiaoshi left in a hurry. When Han Heyu turned around, he found Bu Zhongming looking at him fearfully. He said calmly: "Master Bu, you are different from them. You are my friend."
"Yes, yes, I am your friend" I don't know why, but when he said this, Bu Zhongming's voice was trembling
?¡
It¡¯s late at night
A few short and urgent calls came from the Tan family, and then everything fell into silence again
Tan Fangcheng looked fearfully at the young man in front of him who was covered in blood and holding a knife in his hand. He was so frightened that he kowtowed and wailed for his life.
He recognized this young man as the pebble that shattered the dice with one palm in the gambling den.
It was so terrible, so terrible that as soon as he sneaked into his home, he killed all his family members.
"Master Shi, have mercy on me, have mercy on me, Master Shi!"
Xiao Shi smiled broadly: "Master Tan, I am not Master Shi, my name is Xiao Shi. The adults in our family have said that it would be troublesome to keep you here, so I specially came to ask Master Tan to go on his way."
Tan Fangcheng almost collapsed on the ground like a puddle of mud
?¡
Overnight, Huo Keshou, the great elder of the Presbyterian Church, and Tan Fangcheng, the son of the Tan family, died This news quickly caused a sensation in Batavia.
Anthony van Diemen, the Dutch governor in Batavia, was also shocked and immediately ordered his men to invest in the investigation. But after checking again and again, nothing was found.
Only Bu Zhongming knew what happened.
The most feared thing has finally come Although they killed Huo Keshou and Tan Fangcheng this time, what about the future? Will he suffer the same fate in the future?
Bu Zhongming doesn¡¯t know
"Father, they really attacked Huo Keshou and Tan Fangcheng. What should we do? Do we want to attack them?"
"You're confused!" Bu Zhongming glared at his son fiercely: "They can kill Huo Keshou and Tan Fangcheng, but can't they kill us? Are we the leader? Then we will turn into corpses in a few days!"
As he spoke, he sighed heavily: "We are like getting on a ship, and now we can only stay with them. Our lives are already in their hands, they can make me Kapitan , can also kill us. Don¡¯t forget, the people standing behind them are those from Taiwan.¡±
At this point, Bu Zhongming is still very smart. He knows that he is not facing Han Heyu, but a very large organization.
No matter what happens in the future, he can only be with Han Heyu now. This is just as Han Heyu said himself
"Actually, to be honest, since we have a way to make friends, we are not afraid of the other party betraying us. We can get you into Kapitan's position, and we can also get you down. Of course, this will require interest. "
" Moreover, this benefit will be very heavy, and it is simply unbearable by the Bu family.
On a boat, this is the Bu family's only option, and there is no escape route. (You are welcome to come. Your support is my biggest motivation.) - Didn't finish reading?
