20 years of the Republic of China

Chapter 76

In the spirit of celebration, the brothers drank another round of wine in circles.

Third uncle Sun Chengmo was exhausted from drinking, so he stopped drinking early and asked Xu Ruqing: "Sister Hong, you just said that we have a master here, who is it?"

Xu Ruqing said: "Hey! I also heard from the customers in the store that the 'Golden Point' from the south seems to be named Tan Renjun."

"The 'Golden Point' from the south?" Sun Chengmo was a little curious, "Could it be Jiang Xiang's faction? They come all the way from Fengtian?"

Gong Baonan curled his lips: "You still need to ask? It must have leaked out of the situation in the south, got into trouble, and can't survive! As for those who come to Guandong from other places, some of them are at their wits' end. Come?"

"That's not necessarily the case!" Shen Guoliang immediately retorted, "If it is really Jiang Xiang's faction, then it is related to the old Hongmen. There is no way that it can't survive just because of the leak!"

The so-called Jiang Xiang Sect, one refers to the "Jiang Prime Minister"; another refers to the "Jiang Xiangshi"; one says that it worships Shenji Military Advisor Liu Bowen as its founder; the other says that it worships Fang Zhaoyu, the fifth ancestor of Shaolin, as its founder.

Like many Jianghu sects, the Jiangxiang sect has been in the Guangdong and Guangxi areas for a long time. From the very beginning, it is inextricably linked to the old Hongmen.

Most of his disciples are known as fortune tellers, and their ranks are clearly defined. They are called "Grand Master" internally and "Master Dad" externally.

This group of people have insight into the world and understand people's hearts. Whether it is Feng Shui, Five Elements Bagua, Plum Blossoms, Qi Men Dun Jia, as long as it is a business that has something to do with metaphysics, they will accept any job, and they really comply with the horoscopes. Mantra: Cheating, deceiving, and plundering!

It is said that his disciples have a secret book of metaphysics, which is divided into four chapters: Yingyao Chapter, Junma Chapter, Zhafei Chapter, and Abao Chapter.

Combine these seven points of "fishiness" with three points of "point", "add the point of fishiness to the point, and compete with the gods". Once you master it, you will be unfavorable in the world.

If it was really Jiang Xiang's sect, even if it wasn't Da Man'er, he wouldn't have traveled so far from south to north to come to Fengtian just because of his appearance.

At this point, Xu Ruqing couldn't help but murmured: "If you say that, it is indeed a bit strange."

"Ouch! What's weird!" Guan Wei suddenly said, "Our customs are different now. Since the railway was repaired, business gangs from other places have followed, and people from all over the world have come to our place. Is there anything strange about it? !”

"No!" Shen Guoliang still shook his head, "This matter can't be that simple."

Although the current Fengtian New Deal, criss-crossing railways, and prosperous commercial ports have indeed attracted many powerful people from Jiaodong, Zhili, Nanhe, Xishan and other places to set up business here one after another.But Jiang Xiang's faction is entrenched in Guangdong and Guangxi, with prosperous maritime transportation, and the "Thirteenth Line of the Emperor's Nanku" has been there for many years. It really can't afford to go all the way here to make a living.

Sun Chengmo rubbed the table, stroked his beard, and said in a deep voice: "I heard that there are many members of the Hongmen League in the New Army. Maybe they are following here to make suggestions."

Hearing this, Gong Baonan immediately approached and asked, "Third brother, do you mean there are people from Hongmen in the New Army?"

"How do I know this!" Sun Chengmo asked Xu Ruqing again, "Whose dock did Tan Renjun worship? The old man? Or Bai Baochen?"

Xu Ruqing shook his head and said truthfully: "I didn't even pay homage to him after I heard about it."

"How can we do business without using the dock?" Shen Guoliang didn't believe it.

Xu Ruqing said: "I heard from the customers in the store that they don't do business at all. They don't pay for doing things for others. They just treat them as friends."

At this time, Jiang Xiaodao suddenly interjected: "Hey! Don't you just want to spread your wings first? There's nothing strange about this!"

"I say so! You guys! You are becoming more and more suspicious every day. Isn't it just a golden guy who comes here to do business? What's the big deal!"

Guan Wei poured himself another glass of wine and said: "Let me tell you, the train is so close to us, and we go out for a walk when we have nothing to do. Which country can't see you? By the way, do you still remember Zhang Jiuye from Liaoyang? ? He has come to Fengtian to hang out now. He met me that day and chatted with me for a while! "

Hearing Zhang Jiuye's love, Jiang Chenghai suddenly asked: "Is he fine now?"

"It's great! The craftsmanship is there, and my life is very satisfying!"

Jiang Chenghai nodded slightly: "He helped us before. If there is any trouble, let him come to me at any time."

Guan Wei chuckled and said, "That's not necessary. He told me two days ago that he had just worshiped the old man, and no one in Fengtian would dare to hinder his business."

"Did you pay homage to Zhou Yunfu?"

"Yes! After all, you have to move your home. You have to find a backer for yourself."

At that time, Mao Zi and the Japanese went to war, and the war in Liaoyang was the most intense. All industries were in ruins. Zhang Jiuye persisted for several years, but he couldn't sustain it, so he went to Fengtian to do business. "But don't worry, brother, I asked Master Zhang Jiu. He worshiped Zhou Yunfu just to borrow his name, and he still ate the food of the Rong family." Guan Wei said with excitement, "We have made an appointment to get on the train together in a while. It’s time to vote!”

It’s business again!

Jin Xiaoyi had been dissatisfied with Guan Wei's lateness before the dinner started. When he heard this, he took advantage of his drunkenness and immediately took the opportunity to attack.

"Sixth, open your mouth and shut up, it's all about business, you're doing very well! You've made a fortune outside, but you can't see anyone all day long. What's wrong, are you afraid that people will ask you to borrow money?"

Guan Wei was startled when he heard this, and immediately put on a smile, raised his glass, and said with a smile: "Fourth brother, look at what you said, we are all close buddies. If you want to borrow money, don't ask, just say it directly Go to my house, whatever you have, it’s all yours! I’m really busy these days, come on, fourth brother, I’ll give you a toast, don’t pick on me!”

But Jin Xiaoyi closed the cup with his backhand and said: "Lao Liu, I can't drink well. If I drink too much, I will become drunk easily. You can find someone else to drink with you!"

Guan Wei's wine glass stopped in mid-air, and the smile on his face suddenly froze.

The scene suddenly became awkward. Seeing this, Gong Baonan quickly raised his glass, stood up and said, "Guan Wei, come here, I'll drink with you!"

Guan Wei was indifferent, thinking that Jin Xiaoyi was just looking for trouble, so he stopped drinking.

"Fourth brother, what do you mean? If you are dissatisfied with me, you can just say it."

Jin Xiaoyi shook his head and sneered: "I have no dissatisfaction. My eldest brother said that I can't block my brother's financial path. What can I say?"

Despite Guan Wei's usual smiling appearance, he is also a man with bad hands. If he really wants to show off his face, he will not be angry with anyone. He still holds the cup in the air and just asks blankly: "Are you going to drink?"

"boom!"

Li Tianwei suddenly stood up and slapped the case, half of his face twitched and cursed: "Damn it! Your skin is itchy, right? Brother is celebrating his birthday, what are you doing here?"

Guan Wei and Jin Xiaoyi were still staring at each other, neither of them moving.

Why is this happening?No one can explain.

There is some friction between the brothers, but it is actually not a big deal. Let alone now, even when "Owl" is at its peak, it is not that unusual for the brothers to have some conflicts.

How can any brother not be at odds?

Jiang Chenghai looked around and didn't favor anyone. He just said lightly: "You two go out and practice. After the fight, come back and drink!"

Xu Ruqing quickly consoled her: "You two are almost done. What's the fuss about on your big day?"

Both of them are angry men, so they are not easy to dissuade when they compete with each other.

At this moment, Hu Xiaoyan elbowed Jiang Xiaodao and said, "Photos."

"what?"

Jiang Xiaodao was stunned for a moment, then suddenly remembered something, and immediately stood up and took out a piece of paper from his arms.

"Dad, Sixth Uncle, Fourth Uncle! I forgot to tell you, I took the family photo we took at the Nakamura Photo Studio today. You guys have a look!"

Jiang Chenghai took it curiously, and everyone came forward after hearing the sound.

Guan Wei and Jin Xiaoyi were left alone, with no one to care about them. The two men looked at each other, their eyebrows drooping, and after thinking about it, they also moved in that direction.

For a moment, everyone gathered around.

In the palm-sized photo, Jiang Chenghai and Xu Ruqing were sitting in the middle, Jiang Xiaodao and Hu Xiaoyan were sitting on both sides, and six uncles were standing in a row behind them.

Everyone's expressions were very tense, but they were really close to each other.
