Chapter 8 Undercurrent
After spending so much money, Jiang Gourd had about 80 taels of silver left in his hands.

After finishing these, he went straight to Wang Cheng's house.

go drinking.

Although the wine was cheap, it was his good friend Wang Cheng who drank with him.

As long as the two brothers are good and the wine is not too bad, then drinking this wine will always be happy.

……

On the second day, Jiang Hu went to the "porter gang" as usual to wait for the old horse to assign him work.

He is very strong now, he can support two and a half grown men by himself, and he can earn at least fifty coins a day.

Compared with his current silver, the fifty coins can be said to be "mosquito legs". Even if he saves without eating or drinking, it is only about 18 taels of silver a year.

But he has no intention of giving up this "mosquito leg" yet.

No matter how thin the mosquito legs are, they are still meat. When he finds a job that can earn more money, he will consider giving up the mosquito legs.

However, sometimes life doesn't go your way, and plans never keep up with changes.

On this day, Jiang Hu came to the "porter gang" as usual. As soon as the gang leader Lao Ma saw him, he immediately got up from his seat and ran over. Unexpectedly, Lao Ma, with his old arms and legs, was very agile.

He thought that the old horse was in a hurry to assign him a job, but before he could ask what the job was, he was suddenly stunned by what the old horse did.

This old horse was actually ready to kneel down for him.

Fortunately, although Jiang Huren was stunned, he did not move slowly, and immediately supported the old horse.

"Master Ma Gang, what do you mean?" Jiang Hu asked rather puzzled.

The old horse had no choice but to smile bitterly, and said: "Jiang Daxia, please, don't call me the leader of the gang again."

After that, he took out five coins from his pocket, handed it to Jiang Gourd, and said: "This is a gift from you when you joined my "Porter Gang". Now, I will return it to you, and I just ask you to leave me." Porter gang'."

It turned out that the old horse was going to kneel and beg him to leave the "porter gang".

Jiang Hu understood.

He only nodded in agreement, accepted the silver, and left without looking back.

He is a self-respecting and self-loving person. If others tell him to go, he will never stay.

Besides, asking an elderly man to beg him on his knees is really a bit immodest and disrespectful.

Although Jiang Hu may not be a very particular and decent person, but when he can be particular and decent, he still has to be particular and decent.

On the way back, Jiang Hu recalled what the old horse had done, and gradually guessed a general idea.

Lao Ma used to call him "Little Jiang" before, but now he suddenly changed his name to "Jiang Daxia". impression.

Although the old horse is old, his ears are still very sharp, and he can hear all kinds of news in the Fuzhou mansion.

Now, the old horse came to kneel and begged him to leave the "porter gang", which naturally meant to disassociate himself from him.

He killed members of the Flying Eagle Gang, and forged an indissoluble feud with the Flying Eagle Gang.

Therefore, no matter who wants to continue to maintain a close relationship with him, it is inevitable to weigh whether they can offend the Flying Eagle Gang.

A ruthless character like the Flying Eagle Gang is really ruthless, and will never let go of his enemies' relatives, friends, and all those who are closely related to him.

Jiang Hu then understood Lao Ma, and had to admit that Lao Ma had indeed made the most sensible decision for him.

On the way home, Jiang Hu ran into Wang Cheng who was about to go to the "porter gang" to pick up the work.

"Little Jiang, why are you still running back? Did you leave something at home?" Wang Cheng looked at Jiang Gourd who had turned back with a puzzled face, and asked.

Jiang Hu said with a smile: "I'm going to change my job and work as a nursing home for a big family." After finishing speaking, he gave Wang Cheng the five qian silver that the old horse gave him just now.

Wang Cheng hurriedly refused, "Xiao Jiang, what are you doing?"

Jiang Hu said: "The gift you gave me on the day I joined the 'Porter Gang', I will return it to you now."

Wang Cheng shook his head and said, "We brothers will not accept whoever we are with."

Jiang Hu laughed and said, "If you don't take the profits, you must pay the capital."

Wang Cheng: "Xiao Jiang, why are you being polite to me? You gave me so many gifts on New Year's Eve, and you used the family jade pendant to help me pay for the four taels of silver. I can't accept you any more." Don't be too polite if you don't have any money."

Jiang Hu said with a smile: "I can be polite about other things, but I must be polite about this matter."

Five qian silver is insignificant to him today, but for Wang Cheng's family, it can greatly improve their life. Now, he can just give Wang Cheng the excuse of "repaying the money" instead of charity, He Le And not for it.

Wang Cheng was helpless, knowing that he couldn't beat him, so he had to accept it.

"Xiao Jiang, I'll go first, if I don't go to work, the old horse will scold me." Wang Cheng said.

"Yeah." Jiang Hu nodded and said goodbye to him.

……

Sure enough, as Jiang Hu expected, even though the Feiying Gang blocked the news that Jiang Hu killed the four members of the Feiying Gang, some well-informed people in Fuzhou Mansion still found out, such as Lao Ma.

For example, Fuwei Escort.

Fuwei Escort, lobby.

In the middle and upper part of the grand master's chair, sat a middle-aged man with gray temples and powerful tiger eyes, dressed in purple brocade, holding a pipe in his hand, smoking a couple of puffs from time to time.

This person is Lin Zhennan, the head of the Fuwei Escort Bureau with a great reputation in Fuzhou Prefecture.

He lowered his head on the left and right, and was accompanied by two escorts.

"Chief Escort, it turns out...that employer named Jiang Hu made such strange requests a few days ago because he got into trouble with the Flying Eagle Gang.

What should I do, is this business still going on? "A bodyguard surnamed Li said.

"Ah, it turned out to be the Flying Eagle Gang..." Lin Zhennan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking: "It's okay, it's okay, that employer didn't offend the big sects such as the Qingcheng Sect and the Wuyue Sword Sect, thanks to my preparations." The many gifts should not be needed now, and this business should be profitable."

Thinking of this, he said: "Naturally, we have to do it. Even if this employer offends a big faction like Qingcheng, we have to continue this business even if we lose money."

Another escort head surnamed Zhang immediately echoed: "Yes, if our escort agency hadn't accepted all kinds of strange and demanding business, and worked hard, never giving up halfway, how could it be so big?"

"But..." Li Escort said: "Then Jiang Gourd offended the Flying Eagle Gang, and we have had a good relationship with the Flying Eagle Gang all these years. Are we really going to tear ourselves apart with them because of this business deal?"

"Hehe", Zhang Biaotou sneered, and said: "It's just the Flying Eagle Gang, relying on the large number of people and the amount of money. In fact, they are all pussies, and they earn some dirty money that we don't like. Will our Fuwei Escort fear them?
It's really easy to cook them! "

Lin Zhennan waved his hand, signaling him not to continue talking, took a puff of his cigarette, looked at Li Biaotou, and said: "Li Biaotou, tell me why that Jiang Gourd offended the Flying Eagle Gang, see Whether we can resolve it, it is the best to make money with peace.”
