Chapter 927 Disagreement (2)
Yang Qingxiao's words made the hall quiet, and everyone showed a confused look. They were really unfamiliar with this approach.
Over the years, the Cao Gang has always been decided by the leader of the gang. Whether it is the old leader or Yang Qinghou, their prestige is enough to allow them to issue any orders, so that the brothers below can execute without any discount.
Such a one-man show naturally has its advantages, that is, it is extremely efficient in doing things, with almost no delay, but there are also hidden disadvantages. For example, at this time, when something happened to Yang Qinghou, the leader of the gang, there was no one who could truly convince the public. Even a powerful figure like Jiang Side could not make everyone obey their own wishes.
As for the statement that the minority obeys the majority, they never thought about it and just quarreled to see who could quarrel.
But now, Yang Qingxiao has proposed such a compromise strategy, which has really subverted everyone's habits for many years. But when you think about it carefully, it seems that this is really the best way to resolve the current differences. It is simple and quick, and it will not hurt the affection between brothers in the gang.
So after some thought, Qi Tianhe first agreed: "Miss's proposal is indeed good. What do you think the deputy leader?"
Jiang Side pondered for a moment and nodded: "I also thought I could make a decision using this method. But in terms of candidates..."
Yang Qingxiao smiled and said, "Then let the people in this room make their own choices. You are all the elders in charge of my Cao Gang. Even if my brother is here, he is willing to listen to your opinions."
"Okay, don't be fooled, just express your opinion directly. Should you support the rescue of the gang leader now, or slow down, see if there is a better way!" Zhu Laosi, who was impatient, immediately said, and then raised his hand quickly, "I thought I should save the gang leader regardless of everything! Whether it is attacking the prison or tying up the children of those officials, it is fine!"
"I also thought I should save the gang leader as soon as possible!"
"So too!"
There were sixteen people in the hall, including Yang Qingxiao and Li Ling. At this time, six people gave their attitudes one after another and raised their hands. Jiang Side then raised his hands: "I also thought it was urgent to ignore the rest and save the gang leader first!" Now, they became seven people. Eliminating Li Ling had already accounted for half of the Cao Gang brothers present.
Qi Tianhe quickly said, "I still say the same thing. We should focus on stability and never act rashly. There should be a better solution to this matter, so we should not take the risk of saving the gang leader."
"I think so too. I don't think my brother wants to see our Cao Gang put everyone in danger in order to save him." Yang Qingxiao expressed his opinion.
The few people who were hesitant at first followed after they spoke, and in a short while there were seven people here. Only Zhou Yunhai, a worshipper with a deep qualification in the Cao Gang, had not expressed his opinion yet, and his eyes were also moving back and forth between the people on both sides, as if he was very entangled.
After a while, he smiled bitterly and said, "The gang leader is kind to me, and I want to rescue the gang leader immediately... But I know how difficult it is to have the Cao gang today. Tens of thousands of brothers cannot lose... So I..." He took a deep breath, then closed his eyes, "I really don't know how to choose, I...I give up..."
His words made everyone in the hall stunned. No one expected that Zhou Gongfeng would choose to give up, but it was hard for everyone to say anything, including Yang Qingxiao and Jiang Side, could not say to him. After all, it was not stipulated that everyone present must have a position. Since they felt in a dilemma, it would be okay not to make a choice.
But in this way, everyone found that things were frozen again, because with Zhou Yunhai's abstention, now he supports the immediate rescue of Yang Qinghou, and has reached a balance with those who say it again, seven people versus seven people!
Okay, after a long time of trouble, he returned to the starting point, which made many people feel a little happy. Yang Qingxiao was confused, and Li Ling laughed. He didn't expect this result before.
"Ahem, since this is the result, let's make a long-term plan!" Qi Tianhe said after pondering.
"If you don't, if you drag on it, the situation of the gang leader will only become more and more dangerous. We should think of saving him immediately!" Zhu Laosi also took the initiative at this time, and shouted loudly regardless of the other party's identity and prestige.
"But the result is a draw..."
"At worst, don't go, you guys who don't have the courage. We dare to do it desperately!"
Well, the quarrel started again, which was exactly the same as before Yang Qingxiao came. And just as she opened her mouth and wanted to say something, Li Ling, who had never revealed her identity behind her back and had never spoken, finally spoke: "That... have you forgotten a little bit, besides Zhou Gongfeng, haven't I made a statement yet?"
"Huh?" Everyone looked over with surprise. Zhu Laosi's face sank even more and said disdainfully: "Who are you? Where are you qualified to intervene in the affairs of my Cao Gang?"
"That's right, how can outsiders talk about our Cao Gang? Miss..."
"My name is Li Ling. Are I qualified to participate in it? Oh, by the way, if I remember well, I would have been one of the worshipers of the Cao Gang a few years ago." His subsequent words were interrupted by Li Ling in a calm tone, and he could not say a word.
At the same time, the other Caogang members in the hall also showed surprise, and everyone's eyes fell on his face, some surprise, some joy, and some nervousness...
Li Ling's name was naturally well-known to everyone in the Cao Gang. Even if he was the eldest lady's husband, the cooperation between the two sides over the years alone would be enough to give him a considerable say in the Cao Gang. In addition, he is the son-in-law of the Cao Gang, so he is enough to be on par with the deputy leader and compete with him.
But no one had any contact with him. After all, Lord Li is not a person in the world, and he will have to say and do anything. People who have dated him are not here. Li Ling disguised himself as a disguise today, but he actually hid them all, thinking that he was just an ordinary guard or something.
At this time, Li Ling showed his identity, so it was natural that everyone could not object anymore. Jiang Side smiled bitterly: "My son-in-law is really mature and steadfast. He refuses to speak until the last moment."
Hearing the dissatisfaction contained in his words, Li Ling clasped his fists and said, "Please forgive me. I am really a bit special. If I don't have to, I don't want to get involved in the affairs of the world. However, there are many conflicts within the Cao Gang now, so I can't sit still and watch, and at least I can help you decide this."
As he said that, he swept over everyone in front of him and said, "What I mean is actually Qingxiao has already conveyed to you. Although my brother wants to save him, what should be saved is my Cao Gang as a whole. To put it bluntly, whether it is a big brother or you all, it is just a hair attached to the Cao Gang. This Cao Gang as a whole is our support, and it is a skin that can make us stand on the rivers and lakes! If the skin is not covered, where will the general be attached? If something happens to the Cao Gang, what's the use if he really rescues him? It's just that there are more wanted criminals wandering around the world and you have to be always guarded against the wanted criminals captured by the government.
"So I thought it was better to find out the truth first, so that I could really save my elder brother and Cao Gang. I chose to wait and see. Zhou Gongfeng, what do you think?"
He suddenly threw the question over, which made Zhou Yunhai stunned, and then smiled bitterly, "I have already said it just now, and I will no longer express my opinion, so let's decide according to what the eldest lady said just now."
As he said this, the result came out. With Li Ling's vote, the comparison between the two sides became seven to eight. The party who advocated slow talk over and overwhelmed the party who wanted to save people immediately.
Because they had accepted such an arrangement just now, it was natural that they could not regret it again at this time. Zhou Yunhai thought so, and Jiang Side had nothing to say. Qi Tianhe and the others were satisfied. They smiled and bowed to Li Ling and his wife, "Miss, son-in-law, I really lost on you this time."
Zhu Laosi was a little annoyed and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Jiang Side's look. In the end, he could only express his opinion and delay the action according to this statement.
After the matter was settled, everyone dispersed. Li Ling stopped Jiang Qi and the others and asked them what was going on.
"The gang is in panic because of the gang leader's affairs. Many brothers have left our Cao Gang... This is also an important reason why I am anxious to save the gang leader." Jiang Side said with a wry smile, obviously the pressure on him was also quite large.
Qi Tianhe also said, "The situation in Jingzhou City is not very good. We have actually used a lot of methods to save the gang leader, and even used thousands of taels of silver... As a result, we couldn't even see the gang leader. The only news I knew was that this case was extremely involved and had already reported to Luoyang. I'm afraid that someone would come to the court soon, and it is very likely that the gang leader would be taken to the capital for trial."
"We also asked a lot of people about the origin of those weapons, but we found nothing. The problem is that those who may really know the truth are also in the hands of the government with the gang leader, and we cannot investigate it..." Jiang Side added.
Li Ling nodded and asked, "Then have you started with the armies themselves and checked their origins? For example, will these military crossbows come from the Huaibei official army?"
"What the son-in-law means is that they are calling for robbers to frame them?" Qi Tianhe asked.
"It's very likely. It's just that my people haven't found out yet, but I don't know if there is any relevant way for the Cao Gang to find out this truth?" Li Ling said again.
