Chapter 25: The South Sea Gang
Located in the south of the city near the city gate of Guangzhou Mansion in a mansion is brightly lit, Zhang Mingzhi with the arrival of Ding Li made the whole mansion busy, just the doctor carrying the wooden medicine box nearly ten people, one after another into the room, not long after the sweat will run out of the door, and then replace a peer to fly in as if rushing in, one after another.
Said's injuries are not serious, most of them are flesh and skin wounds, only the blood hole under the ribs that was poked out by a short dagger, but after cleaning and bandaging, there are all kinds of precious medicinal materials on Zhang Mingzhi's house, and the doctor immediately said that there is no major problem, and he will be able to get out of bed and act on his own within seven days, and he will be cured in less than two months.
As for Ding Li, who was unconscious, all the doctors finally came to the conclusion after discussion that they needed to see the creation, after all, he was injured in many places and lost too much blood. However, after Zhang Mingzhi allowed the doctors to enter the pharmacy in his mansion to select medicinal materials, the conclusion changed immediately, and everyone was sure that he would be pulled back from the line of death.
Zhang's Chamber of Commerce is known as the first chamber of commerce in Fuxu Port, and has business contacts with overseas countries, and there are naturally a lot of various precious medicinal materials. After entering the pharmacy, these doctors who had lived for most of their lives were immediately dumbfounded, and they never dared to imagine that those rare medicinal materials were placed in front of them in batches, and immediately made a guarantee to Zhang Mingzhi patting his chest that he would be able to draw the final conclusion before dawn.
Among these doctors, there are many famous doctors in Guangzhou Prefecture, among which there are great hermits specially supported by the Zhang Chamber of Commerce, and the degree of medical skill is much better than Hua Tuo's life, Zhang Mingzhi was much more relieved after getting everyone's assurance, and after repeatedly telling everyone to do their best to take care of Ding Li, he did not return to his room, but walked towards the door of the mansion.
"Second master, do you want to go out so late?" Zhang Wu, the henchman who followed Zhang Mingzhi, was confused, why did his master have to leave again as soon as he came back, and couldn't help but quickly follow and asked in a low voice: "Do you want to go back to the master?" I'll find a few people to come along! ”
"I really have to find a few people, and I can't miss it! About a dozen people! Zhang Mingzhi nodded undeniably, regardless of Zhang Wu's confused face behind him, he added without looking back: "Zhang Wu, you just stay in the mansion, Ding Li's kid will be handed over to you to take care of, if you have any needs, just meet him!" I have to go to Fuxu Port, I'm afraid I'll have to stay there for a while, my father's side is urging the militia again, and I'm annoyed to death! I'll go hide in Fuxu Harbor for a while! ”
"Huh? That's it.。。 Zhang Wu nodded when he heard this, looking at Zhang Mingzhi who wanted to speak and stopped, he also knew his master's temper, and after thinking about it, he didn't open his mouth to persuade in the end, but proposed: "Second master, Fuxu Port is not as good as Guangzhou Port, it's too messy, let me go with you, just leave the house to someone else to take care of, not to mention that there are so many doctors!" Ding Li should be fine! ”
"No need, you better stay! No matter how chaotic Fuxu Port is, no one has the courage to hit me yet! Zhang Mingzhi waved his hand without thinking, and had already walked near the gate of the mansion, stopped and turned around and patted Zhang Wu's shoulder, and said thoughtfully in a deep voice: "Zhang Wu, you remember, the reason why I saved Ding Li's kid back is that I hope he can work for our Zhang Chamber of Commerce in the future!" But now he is still injured, according to the news, there is a woman in his family, but he has not found out where to hide, Ding Li woke up when he turned around, the first thing should be mentioned here, you personally take someone to do it, be sure to do it properly! Let Ding Li be able to recuperate from his injuries with peace of mind, and he will be able to work for the Chamber of Commerce in the future! ”
"Understood, second master rest assured!" Zhang Wu nodded in agreement with a serious face, and then looked at Zhang Mingzhi with a concerned face and said, "Second master, you have to pay attention these days, the Chaozhou Gang has been moving a lot recently!" If there is anything that needs me, just send someone back to call me, and I will arrange it in the house! ”
"That's it! It's not that serious! Isn't it just that there is the support of the Cao Chamber of Commerce, I haven't taken them into account yet, Second Master! You just need to do Ding Li's matter at home, and you know the current situation, we have endured it for so many years, and it is time to strike hard and suppress the Chaozhou Gang in one fell swoop! And these, it depends on the ability of Ding Li, this kid! Zhang Mingzhi pursed his lips disdainfully, patted Zhang Wu's shoulder again to comfort him, and then chatted a few more words, and after the thugs in the house gathered more than a dozen people, Zhang Mingzhi set off overnight.
Ding Li's recovery shocked everyone, just at dawn, Ding Li had already woken up slowly, which can make a lot of doctors and famous doctors happy, after all, Ding Li's awakening means that they can get a rich bounty, not to mention that the medicinal materials Ding Li eats are not theirs, it is completely a profitable and profitable business, and it is rare to encounter it once in a lifetime.
In contrast, Saiyigade, who has too much poor physique, didn't wake up in time as soon as he fell asleep, but Zhang Mingzhi and Zhang Erye had already promised before, and the bounty for treating Ding Li alone was up to ten Saiyigad, not to mention that Saiyigade's life was not in danger at all, and the doctors didn't bother to pay much attention to it, but they just vigorously surrounded the Ding Li who was wrapped on the bed like a mummy.
After one doctor after another, looking and hearing over and over again, it was finally determined that the dangerous period had been passed safely, and all that remained was to use those precious medicinal materials to nourish the body. Moreover, everyone also asserted that with the amazing recovery power shown by Ding Li at the moment, coupled with the miraculous effect of the elixir, the final effect must be quite impressive.
For everyone's various boasts, Zhang Wu, who has followed Zhang Mingzhi since childhood, has the same personality as his master, and he only listened to half of it patiently and waved his hand impatiently to send everyone away, he can understand that those people are unprofitable guys, and sure enough, as soon as he said that he could get the bounty back, the doctors immediately stopped their tirades, and couldn't wait to follow the people arranged by Zhang Wu to get the bounty, scrambling for fear that their share would be taken away by others.
"Ding Li, whose name is Yi, has an ominous ancestor, moved into the slums of Xicheng with his mother Ding when he was four years old, and began to work as a coolie on the dock at the age of fourteen to make a living! There is also a woman named Liu Sheng at home, the specific information is ominous, she has been in the Ding family from beginning to end, but she is proficient in all kinds of musical instruments! It's kind of funny that there are such people in the slums! When Ding Li was sixteen years old, Liu Sheng was taken over by his mother Ding! ”
In the huge room, Zhang Wu was holding an introduction about Ding Li in the candlelight, talking to himself with a smile on the corner of his mouth, but revealing a strong interest in the depths of his eyes.
Of course, what Zhang Wu didn't know was that even Ding Li began to have great doubts about his life experience after seeing the hidden genealogy a few days ago, in fact, even Ding Li was kept in the dark, knowing nothing about all this, just staying on the content of the piece of paper in front of Zhang Wu's eyes.
"Brother Li, although it seems that you are not older than me, but with your own strength, you dare to fight against Leper Wu, and break into Liu Sanye's mansion alone for the sake of your brother, I still call you respectful! By the way, my name is Zhang Wu, I am Zhang Erye's person, and you are in Zhang Erye's mansion now! Looking at Ding Li staring at himself sideways on the bed, Zhang Wu got up and smiled kindly at Ding Li, hugged his fists respectfully, and praised him at first, but he didn't forget to introduce himself.
Then Zhang Wu walked slowly to the bedside, looked at Ding Li with deep meaning, and proposed with a kind smile: "Brother Li, you should understand that the second master and I have no malicious intentions, and now the most critical problem is your woman named Liu Sheng, I have to quickly take my brothers to bring her back to the house, in the entire Guangzhou Mansion, I, Zhang Wu, can assure you that no matter where you hide her, it is not safe here!" This is the mansion of the young owner of the Zhang Chamber of Commerce, not to mention Liu Sanye, even the government can't enter it at will! ”
"Let's talk about the conditions first." Ding Li, who had never spoken, replied directly with an expressionless face, Ding Li didn't think that the other party would help him for free without any purpose, he had nothing to do with the Zhang Chamber of Commerce, if the other party didn't have any necessary conditions, how could he suddenly help.
"Brother Li is really a cheerful person! I didn't expect Brother Li to keep such a cool head after he was injured! It seems that I, Zhang Wu, am a little underestimated Brother Li, admire and admire! Zhang Wu's eyes lit up, and his evaluation of Ding Li rose to a higher height again, and after smiling and clenching his fists at Ding Li again, his face became solemn, and he explained in a serious voice: "Since Brother Li is refreshing, I am not a person who likes to go around in circles, so I will directly say the conditions, but Brother Li Don't worry about it first, let me finish speaking, and then it's not too late to answer!" ”
"Understand, say it!" Ding Li also has a good impression of Zhang Wu in front of him, first of all, the other party is the one who saved his life, and then Ding Li can feel an awe-inspiring righteousness from the other party, not like Liu Sanye or Leper Wu, so he just lay on the bed and squirmed slightly, and after lying in a more comfortable position, he blinked slightly and responded softly.
"Chaozhou Gang, Brother Li is clear, and Brother Li of the Cao Chamber of Commerce who is behind him must also be clear, I won't introduce much of these!" Zhang Wu nodded, paused slightly, frowned slightly, and continued in a deep voice: "Our Zhang Chamber of Commerce has not supported local gang forces for a long time, but since the Cao Chamber of Commerce appeared more than three years ago, the business of our Zhang Chamber of Commerce has been destroyed and suppressed one after another!" Although we also have our own forces, we can't compare with the well-organized gangs of the Chaozhou Gang and the Xunzhou Gang! ”
"Understood! Let's get to the point! Ding Li felt a little big, although there was no mixing with him among these forces, but Ding Li understood the gap, the Cao Chamber of Commerce supported the gang forces as hired thugs, and the Zhang Chamber of Commerce that has been doing legitimate business will naturally have a lot of stumbling blocks, and it can also start from all aspects, after all, there are too many means in secret, even the powerful Zhang Chamber of Commerce is inevitably unable to prevent it.
"In Gangtou, in addition to the foreign gang forces supported by the Cao Chamber of Commerce now, the largest group of people left are the locals of our Guangzhou Prefecture, not only Guangzhou Port, but even Fuxu Port on the other side of the South China Sea!" Zhang Wu was also willing to omit a lot of explanations, and directly said the reason why he saved Ding Li: "Most of these people are ordinary coolies, but they are often oppressed by gang members from other places, and our Zhang Chamber of Commerce has been considering this matter recently, bringing together this huge group of people, and establishing a gang belonging to the locals of our Guangzhou Prefecture, while protecting the interests of the majority of coolies, it can also play a role in knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, so that the Cao Chamber of Commerce and the Chaozhou Gang will not dare to act rashly and oppress everyone at will!" ”
"What's more, at the critical moment, you can become the descendant of the Zhang Chamber of Commerce!" Ding Li listened to the other party's explanation completely, and finally added a sentence without mercy, but while the shocked Zhang Wu looked embarrassed, Ding Li added in a deep voice: "No problem, what do you need me to do?" ”
"Whew!" Hearing this, Zhang Wu was immediately stunned, then let out a sigh of relief, and a smile of joy when he completed the task bloomed on his face, and then he took a deep breath and said in a solemn voice: "Establish the Nanhai Gang!" You're solely responsible! Including all the personnel transfers within the gang, the cost of funds, and even any behavior, you can make your own decisions! Even, except for Second Master Zhang, he is not controlled by anyone! ”
