er 188　　Wu Zhong shook his head and even took a step back.

　　However, Chen Jie saw Wu Zhong at this time, was stunned, and immediately walked over quickly.

　　When Old Li saw Chen Jie, he immediately said, "Fifth Master."

　　Chen Jie nodded, walked quickly to Wu Zhong and said with a smile: "Uncle Zhong, you are here too."

　　The call of "Uncle Zhong" shocked both Lao Li and Lao Liu. What was going on? Didn't they say they were very familiar with each other?

　　Wu Zhong didn't expect that even after Chen Jie reached this point, he would still care about him, a poor and useless uncle from the countryside.

　　But when he saw Chen Jie's sincere smile, he also smiled and said, "Jiu Si, I haven't seen you for more than a month, and you are so impressive. I almost didn't recognize you."

　　Chen Jie stepped forward and said, "It's all because of all the brothers who support me. By the way, uncle, how is my master's health?"

　　"The old man is in good health, but he keeps thinking about you."

　　"Oh, I'm too busy. I promised to come and see Master when I'm free."

　　"Where's my aunt?"

　　"That's fine, but she's even more nagging. I came to the city and she told me not to come in vain and go to Yihonglou to meet my lover. Oh..."

　　Chen Jie smiled knowingly, and then said, "Uncle, you haven't seen Brother Hong yet, right?"

　　"No."

　　After hearing this, Chen Jie said, "Don't be in a hurry to leave today. We'll be done soon. Wait until night, go home, call Brother Hong, and have a few drinks. Ruirui must miss you too."

　　"Yeah, haha, I kind of miss that girl too."

　　Wu Zhong smiled and nodded when he heard this.

　　The two of them were chatting as if no one was around, when suddenly someone said, "The hall master is here!"

　　Chen Jie said: "Uncle, I'm going up."

　　Wu Zhong said: "Go quickly, go quickly, don't delay the important matter."

　　Chen Jie turned around and nodded to Lao Liu and Lao Li, the two managers of the fish pen, and went towards the high platform in the distance.

　　At this time, Lao Liu and Lao Li looked at Wu Zhong and said, "Lao Wu, didn't you say that your relationship is just average?"

　　Wu Zhong said: "Yeah, it's pretty average."

　　"So he calls you uncle and invites you to his home?"

　　The two of them said this while gritting their teeth.

　　Wu Zhong laughed and said, "Haha, you two are really ordinary. My father-in-law is his master. He calls me uncle and his wife aunt. He even lived in my house for a while and we lived and ate together. That's the extent of our friendship."

　　"This, this is not enough! Isn't this the average nephew's standard?"

　　Old Liu said while gritting his back teeth.

　　Wu Zhong said: "He is a little better than my nephew, but a little worse than my son."

　　"I..."

　　Lao Liu and Lao Li turned around cursing, saying that they were tricked by Wu Zhong, the bastard.

　　At this time, Peng Shizhong came out from the high platform with the three Vajras, followed by the Twelve Eagle Guards, Fu Bo and other core personnel.

　　Everyone came to the platform, and Peng Shizhong was the first to arrive in front of the platform.

　　Standing behind him were Feng Xuan, Zheng Chuan, Lu Rong, Chen Jie, and Zhou Chu.

　　The Twelve Eagle Guards and Uncle Fu stood at the farthest end of the platform, responsible for vigilance.

　　At this time, Peng Shizhong looked at everyone present and said, "Everyone is here."

　　At this sound, everyone stopped talking and looked at the people on the stage seriously.

　　Peng Shizhong and the others focused their attention and said, "Everyone, I believe you have heard about the crisis that our White Tiger Hall has encountered recently, right?"

　　"Well, the rumors you heard outside are all true. Our White Tiger Hall almost didn't make it."

　　"But thanks to our ancestors' blessing, we finally managed to survive and preserve the century-old foundation of the White Tiger Hall. We even went a step further and obtained the mining rights to the Nanhu Salt Field. Our White Tiger Hall has become even more powerful."

　　"All of this is inseparable from the help of the brothers."

　　"And today we gathered all the brothers here mainly to make some personnel changes."

　　"As you can see, Feng Xuan, Zheng Chuan, and Lu Rong are all injured, so we need to recover during this period of time. However, the hall cannot stop functioning, and the brothers cannot stop eating, so I decided to leave the affairs of the hall to Lao Wu and Chen Jiusi for the next period of time."

　　"Including the protection of the four streets, the mining of Nanhu Lake, the management of the fish pens in the three villages and towns, and a small part of the mining work at the Beishan Iron Mine, etc., all will be temporarily managed by Jiu Si!"

　　After hearing this, everyone's eyes widened. What was this for? Directly delegate power?

　　These businesses basically comprise 90% of the White Tiger Hall's assets, and they are all handed over to Chen Jiusi for management. Is this training him to be the deputy hall master?

　　Feng Xuan, Zheng Chuan, and even Lu Rong all widened their eyes.

　　In an instant, it seemed as if they had lost all their power.

　　Although they needed to recuperate and could not do any work, they were confused by the idea of ​​directly handing over the power in their hands.

　　At this time, they looked at each other. Lu Rong was just briefly stunned, but did not react too much. In fact, his rights, that is, Hutou Street among the four streets, belonged to him.

　　He doesn't care. He will come back after he recovers from his injury.

　　However, the rest of the rights were previously managed personally by Feng Xuan, Zheng Chuan, and even Peng Shizhong.

　　For example, the fish pens in the three villages and towns and the mining of the Beishan Iron Mine were all directly under his control before, but now he has delegated all the power. Why is he doing this?

　　Feng Xuan and Zheng Chuan looked at each other. Zheng Chuan frowned but said nothing.

　　Chen Jie was also stunned when he heard this. He did not expect Peng Shizhong to make such an arrangement. He actually gave all the rights of Baihu Hall to himself directly, and it was almost a complete transfer. This was too impulsive.

　　Although I really want it, but...

　　Thinking of this, Chen Jieyi clasped his fists and said, "Godfather, Jiusi's ability is limited and I'm afraid he won't be able to do the job!"

　　After hearing this, Feng Xuan also spoke up: "Godfather, Jiu Si is indeed very capable, but the burden is too heavy. Jiu Si was also stabbed yesterday and is overworked. Don't tire him out, and take care of his health."

　　As Feng Xuan spoke, he winked at Zheng Chuan, hoping that Zheng Chuan would say something too. However, Zheng Chuan ignored Feng Xuan and just stood there motionless!

　　Seeing this scene, Feng Xuan became very anxious and winked at Lu Rong.

　　Lu Rong paused and said, "Foster father, this burden is indeed a bit heavy. In fact, Uncle Fu can help share some of it."

　　After hearing this, Peng Shizhong said, "Well, what you said makes sense, but I also came to this conclusion after careful consideration. This time, you all have been seriously injured and need to recuperate, so don't interfere in worldly affairs. According to my estimation, you will be able to recover in a month. At that time, you can let Jiu Si unload the burden."

　　"We in the White Tiger Hall need to recover our strength now, so we can only let Jiu Siduo do it for us."

　　After saying this, Peng Shizhong said, "Well, it's settled. If you feel bad for Jiu Si, get well soon."

　　Feng Xuan wanted to say something after hearing this, but when he saw Zheng Chuan remained silent, he frowned and could only say, "In this case, I have to listen to what my foster father says."

　　After hearing this, Peng Shizhong said, "Well, then, it is decided. In a while, all the managers will go to Jiu Si to report. If there is anything going on recently, please go to him. That's it."

　　Having said this, Peng Shizhong ignored the shock of the crowd and turned around and walked down the platform.

　　Uncle Fu and the twelve Eagle Guards followed behind him.

　　At this time, on the high platform, Feng Xuan looked at Zheng Chuan deeply and asked, "What are you doing, you bastard? Are you someone who would give up power so easily?"

　　Zheng Chuan turned around and left the platform without saying a word. After getting off the platform, he sat in his small wheelchair and went straight back to his mansion.

　　Feng Xuan frowned and looked at Chen Jie.

　　"Big brother."

　　Feng Xuan smiled when he saw Chen Jie bowing to him, "Congratulations, fifth brother, for taking control of the power!"

　　Chen Jie immediately clasped his fists and said, "Brother, I am terrified."

　　Feng Xuan said: "Don't be afraid. If you don't understand something, you can ask me."

　　Chen Jie said: "Thank you, brother, for your help."

　　Feng Xuan smiled and said, "No more words, I'll recover from my injuries first."

　　With that, Feng Xuan turned and left.

　　Lu Rong said: "Jiu Si, thank you for your hard work these days. I will leave my street to you. I will leave now."

　　Then he walked down the platform.

　　Chen Jie squinted his eyes and looked at the people going away. Zhou Chu said, "Jiu Si, why do I feel like they are not willing to do this?"

　　After hearing this, Chen Jie said, "It would be strange if they were willing to do so."

　　"Notify all the managers to meet me in the side hall."

　　Chen Jie turned and walked towards the side hall. At this time, Peng Shizhong returned to his room.

　　As soon as I entered the door, I couldn't help coughing: "Cough cough cough..."

　　Uncle Fu immediately ordered the twelve eagle guards to stand guard around him, and he went into the house to pour a glass of water for Peng Shizhong and said, "Master, are you okay?"

　　"Ahem... It's okay. The old beggar's palm hit my lung meridian. I need to recuperate."

　　After hearing this, he brought over some tea and said, "Master, isn't it a bit too radical for you to go on stage and announce today that you will hand over the White Tiger Hall's foundation to Fifth Master for management?"

　　After hearing this, Peng Shizhong asked, "What do you mean?"

　　"I see that the eldest and second masters are not very willing."

　　Peng Shizhong coughed a few more times and said, "Ahem... I have no choice but to do this."

　　"Mianshui County is in a state of chaos right now. Nan Batian, Old Monster Liu, and those hiding in the dark are all feeling uneasy. This incident with the Beggars' Sect has sounded the alarm for me."

　　"What do you mean?"

　　"Ah Fu, what do you think of Jiu Si?"

　　Peng Shizhong did not answer, but asked Peng Fu instead.

　　"He is decisive and measured in his actions, and has the demeanor of a great general."

　　Peng Fu said to Peng Shizhong, and Peng Shizhong nodded and said, "Yes, Jiu Si is capable, and I am also optimistic about him."

　　"Look at the White Tiger Hall now. The eldest and the second are at loggerheads. If the business is passed on to the eldest, the second will rebel. If it is passed on to the second, the eldest will not be at peace. So I have been thinking, can we find someone who can accommodate them both so that everyone can live together in peace."

　　"So, Hall Master, you want to choose Nine Four?"

　　"Um."
