Chapter 621 The Wandering Swordsman 12
Shi Zhongyu considers himself a responsible person.
Although he is currently in a period of low spirits, his mind is unsettled, and he is physically and mentally exhausted, he still mustered his spirits and began to deal with some affairs of the Chang Le Gang.
In fact, if things were done according to his idea, instead of going through all the trouble of sorting out and reforming this chaotic gang, he would have been better off just taking a knife and wiping out the entire Chang Le Gang, without killing a single innocent person.
Although the Chang Le Gang is not entirely wicked, from top to bottom, they frequently bully the weak and commit acts of injuring people and robbing them. Their reputation in the martial arts world has long been extremely bad.
Especially under the leadership of the former gang leader Situ Heng, a certain rough and barbaric style of the martial arts world was formed.
Situ Heng was originally a bandit, and he was ruthless and decisive, and would do anything to achieve his goals.
After making a name for himself in the martial arts world, he founded the Chang Le Gang, recruiting many disciples and including outlaws and ruffians from the streets.
In just a few years, the Chang Le Gang has grown into the largest gang in the martial arts world, with thousands of members.
The gang's rules were lax and practically non-existent.
Situ Heng either tacitly approved of the gang members' various misdeeds or turned a blind eye to them, rarely stepping forward to restrain them.
Over time, this laissez-faire management style attracted a large number of people of bad character and wicked intentions to join them, who then used the name of the Chang Le Gang to bully and oppress others.
Situ Heng also reaped what he sowed. He was severely injured by Bei Haishi and the other seven incense masters. In the end, he was forced to flee in a panic, and his whereabouts are unknown.
Although Zhang San and Li Si came to the Chang Le Gang ostensibly to distribute bronze medals, their real purpose was to "eliminate harm for the martial arts world."
As those who reward good and punish evil, they cannot tolerate any wrongdoing.
But then Shi Zhongyu appeared out of nowhere, completely disrupting their plans.
Standing under the tree, Shi Zhongyu felt a gentle breeze on his face, his thoughts churning, and a sense of regret welled up in his heart.
He should have let Zhang San and Li Si take action that day and wiped out the entire Chang Le Gang. He wouldn't have had to go through all this trouble now.
The Chang Le Gang was a powerful force with a large number of members, most of whom were scattered across various branches and strongholds.
He was alone, and if he made a move here, the other gangs would inevitably follow suit.
If they really unite and rely on their numbers to confront him head-on, then it will be much simpler.
A mere rabble couldn't do anything to him.
What he was really worried about was that this group would flee without a fight, break up into smaller groups, and hide in the countryside to continue to run rampant and harm the people.
Thinking of this, Shi Zhongyu raised his hand and rubbed his temples.
It seems that the only way forward is to take control of the situation as soon as possible, re-establish rules, and restrain the behavior of the gang members.
When necessary, find a few scapegoats to make an example of, and use swift and decisive measures to deter those above and below.
Having made up his mind, Shi Zhongyu picked up his pen and drafted new rules, covering everything from discipline and responsibilities to rewards and punishments, writing several pages in a flash.
After finishing writing, he ordered someone to summon the eight leaders of the gang to the council hall.
These people, used to living a carefree life, turned pale when they saw the thick stack of gang rules. Even when facing Shi Zhongyu, they couldn't help but complain a few times.
"Chief, our Chang Le Gang has always valued loyalty and brotherhood. Why are you suddenly making so many rules?"
"Yes, aren't they treating us like government officials?"
Shi Zhongyu stood up, his sharp gaze sweeping across the faces of the group, his imposing aura making them feel a tightness in their chests.
"I am simply informing you, not discussing this with you."
"The implementation of the gang rules is urgent and no one is allowed to disobey. If anyone dares to outwardly comply but inwardly defy them and engage in underhanded tactics, then don't blame me for being ruthless."
The audience was silent.
The eight incense masters exchanged glances, their expressions varying. Some still harbored resentment and disdain, but under Bei Haishi's persuasion, they suppressed their displeasure.
