Chapter 36: The Sanzhu Gang Wins Without Any Effort

the next day.

Chu Ning waited until Ganqiao.

Gan Qiao not only came, but also brought gifts.

The gift was worth dozens of taels, but what was important was that there was a silver note for "two hundred taels" inside the gift box.

Chu Ning also followed his promise and ordered a table of food to entertain Gan Qiao. After the banquet, the two of them became brothers and almost became sworn brothers.

After Gan Qiao left, Chu Ning subconsciously went to the backyard to change into masked clothes, but fortunately he reacted in the end.

After seeing Gan Qiao off, Chu Ning prepared to pick up his old aunt, but unexpectedly he met an unexpected visitor.

A group of people came.

They were carrying baskets and baskets with various gifts, and Liu Da was the leader.

"Master Chu, this is what our gang leader asked me to deliver."

Listening to Liu Da's words, Chu Ning was puzzled. Liu Da is now in the Sanzhu Gang. The leader of the Sanzhu Gang gave him gifts. Could it be that he wanted to come to Xiafeng Town to plant a flag and collect protection fees?

"Brothers, please go down first."

Liu Da waved his hand and asked the others to put down their gifts and leave. Chu Ning looked at these people without any dissatisfaction and said with a smile: "Not bad, Liu Da, it seems that you have made it in the Sanzhu Gang."

"How could I have such ability? It's all thanks to you, sir. The gang leader knew that I was from Xiafeng Town, so he promoted me to be a leader. It is also because I am from Xiafeng Town that the gang leader arranged for me to come to your door this time."

In front of Chu Ning, Liu Dake didn't dare to act pretentiously and immediately added, "Sir, the gang leader is giving you a gift, not because he has any ideas about Xiafeng Town, but because he simply wants to give you a gift."

Liu Da told Chu Ning everything he knew.

Going back to more than half a month ago, the members of the Sanzhu Gang were stunned overnight.

Because the Flying Tiger Sect and the Blood Knife Hall, which had been hostile to them for many years, disappeared overnight. It’s not just disappeared, but all the top leaders were gone.

If the top leaders are gone, then the gang will be gone.

The members of the Sanzhu Gang didn't know what had happened, but they were certainly happy. Over the years, the gang leader had asked them to focus on stability and the principle of "harmony brings wealth", but the Feihu Sect and the Blood Knife Hall had provoked them many times and were aggressive, so they had been full of resentment for a long time.

Many gang members were still somewhat dissatisfied with their leader, but now they realized how wise and brave the leader was. All of a sudden, the image of gang leader Li Yunshu rose sharply in the hearts of the gang members.

On the day Liu Da learned the news, he was called over by Li Yunshu, who asked him in detail about some things in Xiafeng Town. After the questioning, Li Yunshu gave him a position as a small leader, which allowed him to escape from the bottom of the gang.

Then, last night, Liu Da was called by Li Yunshu again. The only thing he was asked to do was to deliver a gift to Chu Ning early in the morning.

"Sir, the leader asked me to tell you that the Sanzhu Gang has absolutely no intention of taking Xiafeng Town and will never set foot in. This gift is to thank you for destroying the Blood Knife Hall and the Flying Tiger Sect."

When Liu Da said this, even though he had been shocked by the gang leader's words last night, his heart still skipped a beat at this moment.

Now that Feihumen and Xuedaotang are gone, he has thought about whether they may have something to do with Lord Chu. After all, all the gangs he had reported to Lord Chu in the past had a bad ending.

But those were all small gangs, and this time it was big gangs like Feihumen and Xuedaotang. Although he was suspicious, he didn't dare to believe it.

It was not until last night when the gang leader said this that he confirmed that it was really Lord Chu.

Lord Chu is really too fierce.

Chu Ning also laughed after listening to Liu Da's story. Li Yunshu from the Sanzhu Gang was indeed a talented person, but he could also guess how the other party knew the news.

Since the Feihu Sect and the Blood Knife Hall were able to be bribed in the first place, the other party must have also found the Sanzhu Gang. Li Yunshu can be considered to be someone who knows half of the inside story.

This person is very insightful.

Since he knew the purpose of Li Yunshu's gift, Chu Ning accepted it without hesitation.

"Master Chu, I will take my leave now."

"Wait." Seeing Liu Da was about to leave, Chu Ning called out to him.

"Sir, do you have anything else to tell me?"

"Liu Da, it's almost been three years since you started the gang. How's life been like in the gang?"

Although he didn't understand why Lord Chu suddenly asked this, Liu Da still answered seriously: "With the support of the adults behind me, my life is going well."

Liu Da's words came from the bottom of his heart. When he first joined the gang, he was a little scared because joining a gang meant fighting and hacking people, but later he found that it was not entirely true.

With the money given by Lord Chu, he was able to make good friends with gang brothers. Every time they went out to fight, he could hide behind and not rush to the front line. Not only was his life not in danger, but he had more and more brothers around him.

"If I ask you to quit the gang now, would you be willing?"

"Quit the gang?"

Liu Da was silent for a moment before he said, "I will listen to Master Chu."

Chu Ning looked at Liu Da meaningfully and said, "I am just giving you a suggestion. You can decide which path to take, but you must remember why the three of you became sworn brothers in the first place."

He could see that Liu Da didn't want to quit the gang, so he didn't force him.

These were his advice to Liu Da.

In his previous life, he had seen too many dragon-slaying boys turning into evil dragons.

Those who are born into the upper class will not think of exploiting the people completely, because they need stability, and maintaining a long-term exploitation is best.

On the contrary, those who have climbed up from the bottom, in order to climb higher and gain greater profits, turn around and abandon their original intentions, and desperately exploit the people at the bottom.

"I understand. Even if I join a gang, I will not bully the elderly, the weak, the sick, or the disabled, and I will not force women of good families into prostitution."

Liu Da sincerely assured Chu Ning, but Chu Ning did not respond. He hoped that he could do it.

After seeing Liu Da off, Chu Ning began to count his belongings.

The gifts that Sanzhu Gang sent to Li Yunshu were very simple, without too much frills, except for the medicinal herbs and money.

Chu Ning lifted up a box of silver, which weighed about two hundred kilograms. In addition, there were ten silver notes with a face value of one hundred yuan. The other boxes were all filled with medicinal herbs that could increase qi and blood.

Simple, practical and very trendy.

"Butler Huang gave me five thousand taels, plus the money here, my net worth is now almost seven thousand taels. I am considered a wealthy man in Daning County, but I still can't compare with the eight major families. The most important thing is that if I don't use this money to practice martial arts, it's fine. If I use it to buy elixirs, it can only support me for a year."

Although Chu Ning did not go out much during the half month he lived in the Huang family, he still learned some things from the servants who served him.

The Huang family members never mention silver. All they talk about is gold.

In the Liang Dynasty, one tael of gold was equal to ten taels of silver, and one tael of silver was equal to one thousand wen. The annual expenses of an ordinary family of three in a normal year would be about ten taels. You can imagine how much it costs to practice martial arts, and how great the gap between the rich and the poor is in this world.

This is also the reason why ordinary warriors do not try to move up after reaching the level of a martial artist. Instead of spending so much money on fighting, it would be better to make money to cultivate talented offspring.

"I can't relax yet. I have to at least become a military commander. Before that, I still have to practice martial arts diligently."

Chu Ning originally wanted to go to the martial arts master first, but judging from Uncle Huang's incident and recent experiences, the martial arts master is not very safe even if it is only in Daning County.

If you want stability, then get a military general.

After setting the target for the military general, Chu Ning moved all the herbs and silver back into the room, and then went out.

He is going to take his old aunt back.

Paishan Town.

Xiafeng Town is a small town under Daning County. Among the many small towns in Daning County, Xiafeng Town used to be at the bottom, but now Xiafeng Town has soared to the sky and Paishan Town has become the bottom.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Bumpy streets and deep alleys.

There was a rattan chair in front of a courtyard gate, and an old man was sitting on it.

On the side, two women were talking to an old man, but if you pay close attention, you will find that the old man's eyes were constantly looking towards the entrance of the alley with anticipation.

Finally, the figure the old man was looking forward to appeared at the entrance of the alley.

"Old aunt!"

As soon as Chu Ning appeared at the entrance of the alley, he shouted loudly.

The old aunt was very excited and stood up from the rattan chair, and Chu Ning also walked up to the old woman at this time.

"I'm sorry to have made you worried, old aunt. It's Xiao Ning's fault."

"Come back... Just come back."

"Well, I'll take you home, old aunt."

Chu Ning knew that he had made the old man worried for the past half month. Although he asked Butler Huang to help inform his aunt that he was safe in advance, the old woman would never be able to feel at ease until she saw him.

"Chu...Lord Chu." The woman next to him looked at Chu Ning with awe.

"Aunt, you can't call me that. Just call me Xiao Ning."

The two women accompanying the old aunt are the wives of her two nephews and great-grandsons, and are one generation older than herself in terms of seniority.

"That's not possible. You are a constable now, and will soon be the head of the police force. You can't call me that." The woman waved her hands quickly.

"Knowing that you were coming today, grandma insisted on waiting at the door. No matter how we tried to persuade her, she wouldn't listen. She missed you so much." Another woman said with a smile.

"I was brought up by my great aunt, who loved me dearly."

Chu Ning responded with a smile, took the old aunt's hand and walked into the yard. After putting down the gifts, the old aunt's two nephews also came back.

Several people were chatting in the yard, but the topics were all related to the police station, and their words were all about flattering Chu Ning. Chu Ning was not unfamiliar with this situation. In his previous life, he was often the protagonist at the dinner table, and everyone around him centered around him.

"Chu Ning, are you having dinner at home tonight?"

Seeing that the sky was getting a little dim, the man finally opened his mouth and asked tentatively. He originally wanted to call him Lord Chu, but at Chu Ning's strong request, he changed to calling him by his name.

As for calling her Xiaoning, I wouldn't dare to do that.

"Forget about eating at home."

As soon as Chu Ning said this, everyone present, except the old aunt, had a look of loss on their faces.

"Let's go to the restaurant in your town. I happened to have an appointment with Captain Cui before I came here."

The second half of the sentence brought smiles to the faces of several people and made them excited again.

Captain Cui, the captain of the police in Paishan Town is named Cui.

"This... this is not a good idea. You are having dinner with Captain Cui. If we go too, will it be possible..." The man felt a little embarrassed. Even though his wife had her hands on his waist, he still had to say what he wanted to say.

"There's nothing wrong with it. I told Captain Cui that I would eat at my relative's house. When Captain Cui heard that, he asked me to invite everyone, saying that if I didn't give him a chance to host the dinner in Paishan Town, it would mean I looked down on him."

"Is that so? Then... OK, then we will take advantage of you, Chu Ning."

"We are all family, there is no question of whether we can benefit from it or not." Chu Ning said with a smile.

The two brothers and their wives went back to their rooms to clean up. Chu Ning sat in the yard and waited. Feeling the old aunt's hand tighten, Chu Ning smiled and said, "Old aunt, I know what's going on."

These two nephews of the old aunt are not cunning people. They don't want to establish a relationship with her to do anything under their own name, but just want some protection.

Having a relative who is a constable, at least he can speak with more confidence.

As for whether his old aunt had come to borrow food when his family ran out of rice, or whether these two families had lent them any, he did not ask his old aunt.

In a disaster year like that, being able to help is a sign of friendship, but not helping is also normal.

My great aunt is still a relative, so we can visit her.

As for Captain Cui from Paishan Town offering to treat us to a meal, he happened to meet him when Chu Ning just entered the town. After knowing Chu Ning's purpose of coming to Paishan Town, he enthusiastically offered to treat us to a meal.

Chu Ning could guess why Captain Cui was so enthusiastic.

Gan Qiao returned in defeat in his own town of Xiafeng, and the several constables who followed him were injured. The other constables could see it at a glance, and if they asked around a little, they could roughly guess what happened.

Obviously, Captain Cui is such a thoughtful person.

Practicing martial arts is not only practicing martial arts, but also practicing the ways of the world.
