Late Qing Dynasty Executioner

Zhang Da is actually Zhang Jinxiu's father.

Although Zhang Jinxiu and Chen Si were dead, it did not mean that Chen Gu no longer knew the other members of the Tiandihui. After all, when Zhang Jinxiu went to see Chen Gu, she did not go alone, and naturally she was accompanied by a few trusted people.

By contacting Zhang Jinxiu's old subordinates to confirm his identity, Chen Gu finally met Zhang Da.

Zhang Da did not have any real power in the Tiandihui, but as Zhang Jinxiu's father and an old member of the Tiandihui, his prestige was extremely high.

Although Zhang Jinxiu is dead, she still has children, brothers and sisters, and family members. Therefore, Zhang Da welcomes Chen Gu's arrival, because only with the help of Chen Gu can the Zhang family return to the center of power.

Even if it was just to let the leader Chen Gu accept a favor from the Zhang family, it would be great.

So Zhang Da handled the two fish very skillfully. He braised the whole carp, fried the bighead carp body and then boiled it, and steamed the fish head. He made two fishes in three ways, paired with double-steamed rice wine, which made Chen Gu very satisfied.

Zhang Da was serving attentively by the side, serving dishes and pouring wine.

Chen Gu didn't care about his appetite. He put down his chopsticks after eating and drinking half full. After taking a sip of tea to clear his mouth, he said to Zhang Da, "Let's pass on the order of the chief leader to convene a martial arts conference."

After Rong An stole the position of the chief leader of the Tiandihui, he launched a bloody purge within the Tiandihui. Many Tiandihui leaders were killed and ordinary gang members fled, which allowed Rong An to control the situation.

But it would be useless even if Rong An found out, because the Tiandihui had its own way of survival. They had been suppressed by the court for a long time, and being suppressed again would only mean they would hide again.

Moreover, because the Tiandihui obtained a lot of resources in this war and became even more powerful, even after hiding, it is still a huge hidden danger.

Finally, Rong An had no choice but to give up Huizhou and Dongguan and let the Tiandihui occupy them, and the two sides lived in peace.

When Zhang Da heard Chen Gu say that he was going to convene a martial arts conference, he immediately laughed and saluted, saying, "I will make arrangements right away. In ten days at most, no, seven days at most, all the heroes will surely come to West Lake."

Facts have proved that Zhang Da's estimate was a bit conservative. In just five days, the leaders of the Tiandihui branches in Huizhou and Dongguan rushed to West Lake. At the same time, many clan forces in the Chaoshan area also sent representatives.

Because Zhang Da was using the Chinese flag, even though he didn't mention Chen Gu, the weight of a Chinese special envoy was enough.

After all, at this time, China's 10,000 main forces had entered Guangdong from the border between Guangdong and Guangxi and engaged in battle with Rong An's troops.

Although Chen Gu had passed away on the surface, Chen Xiaoao proclaimed himself emperor in Chongqing. China had already occupied half of the world, and its fighting power was extremely strong.

Therefore, everyone felt that China's entry into Guangdong was a foregone conclusion. If they did not come to share a piece of the pie now, they would probably not have another chance in the future. So after receiving Zhang Da's call, everyone rushed over without stopping.

The venue for the meeting was set up on the large dam outside the Zhang family's gate. A bamboo platform was located in the north, with three armchairs placed under the platform and countless bamboo chairs placed on both sides of the platform.

There is a row of seats on the bamboo platform.

They are the founder of Tiandihui: Hong Ying (Yin Hongsheng), the five sages: Zhu Zhiyu, Gu Yanwu, Huang Zongxi, Wang Fuzhi, and Fu Shan.

The five emperors are: Wenzong Shi Kefa, Wuzong Zheng Chenggong, Xuanzong Chen Jinnan, Dazong Wan Yunlong and Weizong Su Hongguang.

The first five ancestors: Cai Dezhong, Fang Dahong, Hu Dedi, Ma Chaoxing, Li Shikai
The five middle ancestors: Yang Zhangyou, Fang Huicheng, Wu Tiancheng, Lin Dajiang, Zhang Jingzhi
The five later ancestors: Li Shidi, Hong Taisui, Wu Tianyou, Lin Yongchao, Yao Bidada
After that there were: Five Righteous Men, Five Heroes, Three Heroes, Two Masters, etc.
Zhang Da led everyone in the Tiandihui to kneel down and burn incense, and after completing various procedures, they invited Cai Qian to come up.

"Greetings, brothers. Although Cai was born in the water, he is also a brother of the Hong family, so I won't be polite." Cai Qian said as he walked to the right of the three armchairs and stood beside them.

"Please welcome the Chinese envoy!" Zhang Da continued to shout.

Chen Gu walked out with Zhang Zhe and others, came to a chair in the middle, turned around and faced everyone, and said with a smile: "You can call me Chen Le, I won't go into details about my specific position, you just need to understand that I can fully represent China.

If you have any questions or conditions you want to discuss, you can ask me. As long as I agree, it is equivalent to China's agreement. Everyone, sit down and talk!"

After Chen Gu finished speaking, he sat down by himself, followed by Cai Qian, and Zhang Da nodded in response to everyone's inquiring looks and also sat down.

Chen Gu's tone was very arrogant, which made everyone doubt it, but since Zhang Da was willing to guarantee it, it meant that there was no problem.

After everyone sat down, they couldn't help but fall silent. It wasn't that they didn't have any questions. On the contrary, they had a lot of questions and wanted a lot of conditions, but no one was willing to take the lead.

"Since no one is willing to speak first, then I, an old man, will throw out some ideas to stimulate discussion!" An old man with white hair and beard stood up with a cane, bowed to Chen Gu, and said, "I am Li Jianming from the Chishi Li family, and I am honored to meet the special envoy!"

Chen Gu stood up and bowed in return, saying with a smile: "You are welcome, old man. We Chinese also respect the elderly. You are old, so just sit down and talk. Please be more casual."

"Thank you very much, Special Envoy." Li Jianming smiled and stopped being polite. He sat down with the help of his crutches and said, "The Chinese are kind and righteous, and their kindness to ordinary people is unprecedented in all dynasties.

The people of Chaoshan are naturally willing to join China, but the Chinese legal code is strict, and some parts are completely unacceptable.

I just want to ask the special envoy, can the Chinese Code be slightly modified in the Chaoshan area? "

The Chaoshan area is actually a relatively sensitive place. After all, the strict family planning policy in later generations had no effect at all in the Chaoshan area, which shows how stubborn the Chaoshan people are.

Chen Gu frowned and thought for a while, then replied: "The Chinese Code cannot be changed lightly. After all, every law in the code was recorded after countless people's repeated deliberations, and it has been relatively fair.

However, the situations in different places are different, and the laws in the code cannot be said to be universally applicable. For example, some ethnic minorities cannot accept certain laws in the code.

Therefore, some ethnic minority areas implemented autonomous laws. Guangdong was originally only an ally of China, not within China, so it was also included in the autonomous regulations. "
