Zongwu: The Rise of the Little People

In the silent mourning hall.

After the tense atmosphere lasted for a moment, a burst of crisp footsteps suddenly sounded at the scene.

It turned out to be Zhao Xu who was waiting on the side. Seeing that the time was right, he walked out of the crowd.

When the three hall masters saw Zhao Xu walk out from the crowd, they all felt something was wrong.

After all, their cooperation negotiations with Zhao Xu have not been completed yet, and the people below are still arguing over some interests.

Sha Huanjin's death was indeed sudden, catching the three people off guard. When Zhao Xu stood up at this time, the three people did not think that he supported them.

Zhao Xu ignored the three hall masters who looked grim, and walked directly to Jin Meiniang's side. He turned around and said to everyone, "Unfortunately, Gang Leader Sha passed away. We are all very sad, but a country cannot be without a leader for a day, and a family cannot be without a master for a day. Today, since everyone has gathered here, we should resolve this matter and elect a new gang leader."

"Yes, today we should elect a new gang leader."

"Yes, that's right"...

Seeing that Zhao Xu raised the issue of selecting a new gang leader, the people below also started discussing it and all supported the selection of a new gang leader today.

Seeing everyone discussing this, Zhao Xu struck while the iron was hot.

"I heard that Gang Leader Sha left a will, saying that he wanted to pass the position of gang leader to Jin Mei Niang."

"Not only is the owner of the Jinlou Tower the only relative of the Sha Gang leader, but he has also been running the Jinsha Tower and Jinsha Inn very effectively over the past few years."

"So if she inherits the position of gang leader, my Wang's Company will be the first to agree."

Zhao Xu's act of pushing Jin Meiniang to take the position of leader of the Jinsha Gang made the mourning hall suddenly quiet. Everyone looked at each other, and no one dared to be the first to stand up and express their opinion.

The three hall masters were furious at this time, and the look they gave Zhao Xu was murderous.

The three of them now understood that they had been fooled by Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu agreed to cooperate and sent his subordinates to negotiate, haggling and haggling non-stop. His purpose was to paralyze everyone, delay time, and then launch a surprise attack on this occasion.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the field was just one step away from escalating, Jin Meiniang immediately stepped forward.

"Please rest assured, if I am lucky enough to become the gang leader, I will definitely continue my father's legacy, continue to ensure exchanges with everyone, expand business opportunities, and carry forward the business territory of the Jinsha Gang."

Jin Meiniang's statement immediately ignited the passion in everyone's hearts.

Merchants all value profit. Now the Jinsha Gang, namely Jin Meiniang's Jinsha Building and Jinsha Warehouse, are doing better and better and have a bright future.

Her statement today means that she will bring more benefits to everyone in the future and help everyone get rich. Everyone likes money.

Seeing that the atmosphere had reached a certain level, Zhao Xu winked at Qian Rong of Nandu Trading Company.

Qian Rong was indeed an old hand, he immediately understood and nodded secretly to Zhao Xu.

The discussion in the field became heated again. At this time, Qian Rong stood next to Zhao Xu. Seeing this, everyone looked over at once.

"Everyone, Master Jin has not only made remarkable achievements in business, but he is also the heir personally appointed by Master Sha, and has received strong support from Wang's Commercial Bank."

"Our Nandu Chamber of Commerce follows the will of Mr. Sha and pushes Master Jinlou to become the next leader of the Jinsha Gang."

As the two major business leaders, Wang's Trading Company and Nandu Chamber of Commerce, expressed their support for Jin Meiniang, other small and medium-sized forces also expressed their support.

After everyone expressed their opinions, Jin Meiniang's popularity suddenly increased.

Seeing this, many of Sha Huanjin's diehard followers in the Jinsha Gang loudly expressed their loyalty to Jin Meiniang.

Most of those who were wavering, seeing that Jin Meiniang was now powerful, also expressed their views.

For a while, only the forces of the three hall masters had not yet expressed their stance.

After everyone had expressed their opinions, Zhao Xu turned his gaze towards the three hall masters.

Li Hu from Yantang had the hottest temper among the three. He was so angry that veins on his forehead popped out.

However, since Li Hu could sit in the position of the head of Yantang, he could not be a reckless and foolish person.

He turned his head and winked at his men behind him.

Five strong men immediately jumped out, staring at Zhao Xu fiercely and threateningly:

"Boy, the selection of the gang leader is our own business. Why do you, an outsider, have to interfere?"

Zhao Xu saw someone jump out and smiled.

Wang Zhong, who was standing behind Zhao Xu, couldn't help it and walked up to the five people.

"How arrogant! Our Chamber of Commerce has been cooperating with the Jinsha Gang for a long time and we have become inseparable. In view of this, the old Gang Master Sha made a special change during his lifetime, allowing our Chamber of Commerce to have the right to make suggestions and vote on major events of the Jinsha Gang."

"Our Chamber of Commerce has two votes, represented by Wang's and Nandu. In the Jinsha Gang, except for the gang leader, the three hall masters and the owner of the Jinsha Building each have one vote."

"You are questioning our chief steward now. Are you doubting the decisions made by old Gang Leader Sha during his lifetime?"

The five people who jumped out were speechless after being rebuked by Wang Zhong. The leader was a little angry and looked at the four people behind him.

"Brothers, when has it been the turn of an outsider to interfere in the affairs of our Jinsha Gang?"

As he said that, he led four people and rushed towards Wang Zhong, wanting to teach him a lesson.

Wang Zhong was also a little scared when he saw this, but fortunately Zhao Xu reacted in time.

Before everyone present could react, Zhao Xu disappeared from the spot and appeared in front of Wang Zhong the next moment.

The five people who rushed up were no mediocre people. They were all fifth or sixth rank warriors, and the one who led them was a fourth rank warrior.

When the five men saw Zhao Xu suddenly appear in front of Wang Zhong, they knew he was a master.

The leader nodded secretly to the other four. The five of them approached Zhao Xu and instantly used their own unique skills to attack Zhao Xu together.

Zhao Xu was not panicked when he saw the five people attacking him. He only heard a light shout and took a half step forward with his right foot.

Martial artists with profound skills could feel the energy coming out of Zhao Xu's right foot.

In a moment, a wave of energy mixed with internal strength rushed towards the five people who were attacking.

Before the five people could react, they were hit by the internal energy, and then blown away by the air wave and flew out of the mourning hall.

From the five men's sudden attack on Wang Zhong to his being blown out of the mourning hall, it all happened in a moment.

Before the people in the mourning hall could react to the shock of the five people's sudden attack, they heard five screams and then saw five figures flying out.

When Li Hu from Yantang saw Zhao Xu knock five people away, he became furious and was about to stand up and take action.

Zhao Xun and Hong Biao on the side were both tempted. Zhao Xu saw that the three of them were thinking of taking action, so he immediately looked over at them. At the same time, a huge aura enveloped the three of them.

The three hall masters instantly felt an invisible pressure, and soon cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.

Feeling the same power as the old gang leader Sha Huanjin, Yuntang leader Hong Biao said after a while: "Second-rank junior master."

The three hall masters had actually received news that Zhao Xu might be at the level of a second-grade junior grandmaster.

However, the three of them didn't quite believe it and thought that Qian Rong was deliberately letting Zhao Xu win during the sparring. They didn't expect it to be true.

After Zhao Xu used his aura to intimidate the three hall masters, he still felt it was not enough, so he used his finger as a sword and slashed at a stone pillar in the yard.

"boom."

With a loud bang, the stone pillar instantly broke into pieces, and the three hall masters were all shocked.

As for the others, some people shouted out.

Everyone was just watching the fun, except Qian Rong, whose eyes narrowed and he secretly said "Sword Energy" in his heart.

Seeing that the three hall masters were completely shocked, Zhao Xu said slowly: "Today, I will vote for Master Jin to be the leader."

"Who is in favor and who is against?"

Faced with Zhao Xu's power, the three hall masters had no choice but to surrender and agree that Jin Meiniang would become the new leader of the Jinsha Gang.

Zhao Xu saw six votes in favor and nodded with satisfaction.

"Six votes in favor, unanimous approval. We respectfully invite Gang Leader Jin to take the throne."

Following Zhao Xu's shout of "Please succeed to the throne in front of the spirit", the rest of the people, even the three hall masters, said reluctantly, "We respectfully invite Gang Leader Jin to succeed to the throne in front of the spirit."

After a simple procedure, Jin Meiniang officially became the nominal leader of the Jinsha Gang.

This is only in name.

If you want to truly and thoroughly control the Jinsha Gang and become the de facto person in power, you will have to fight a tough battle tonight.
