Jiang Banxian stopped, pondered for a while, and said:

"It shouldn't be Xingtianmen, firstly, they don't have the extra energy to deal with us now, and secondly, if they really want to do it, it won't be so simple. ”

"As far as you are concerned, if you have a grudge against a gang, do you send only people to assassinate their gang leader, or do you go to war in an all-out way? Is it the latter? This is the consciousness of being a big gang. ”

"I think if the Heavenly Gate does not move, it will be fatal, not only your life, but also the life of the firewood gang. ”

"So now Xingtianmen has actually withdrawn from the battle between Wushuang City and Qianzi City, but I still don't dare to take them lightly, and the main force of reconnaissance is still on them. ”

"This assassination, if my guess is correct, is a private affair, not something frighteningly big as you fear. ”

"But in the face of knives, you really have to be careful, he is really powerful. ”

"Now that you've come to this point, you don't have to worry about the last 'good guy' in his gang, so you can do whatever you want. ”

"After all, kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself!"

"Private matter...... Hong Qi muttered a few words in a low voice, and immediately thought of something, and asked, "Old man, do you know what the knife has to do with General Meng?"

"General Meng?" Jiang Banxian obviously didn't have much impression, even though he was well-known, but he was always old, and not people of any level could remember it, and said with a smile, "You go back first, I'll help you check it out later, and then pass the book to you." Meng Jiang is very familiar with this name, who is he?"

After Hong Qi answered, he thought that Jiang Banxian had the meaning of "asking him to leave" for the first time in his life, which was not normal, so he asked: "Old man, is there anything inconvenient?

"Hehe, it's just a small thing. ”

"I had a meeting with several leaders of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance at noon, and I have to set up a banquet to entertain them later, and now it's okay, you chose a good time to come. ”

Jiang Banxian said a little unnaturally.

Hong Qi, who is almost a fine now, couldn't hear it, and hurriedly asked, "Old man, is there something wrong?"

"Hehe, it's useless if you know, you won't be interested in this kind of thing at all. ”

"If you want to know, tell you. ”

"We all thought of those businessmen as stupid at first, but when they saw that the war had eased down now, they offered to stop the next few funds, and only when Xingtianmen came to their senses and started fighting again, they offered to help. ”

"Actually, this condition is very reasonable, but I am ready to use their funds to vigorously develop and prepare for this stable time, and take advantage of the time when Xingtianmen is now in a hurry, and hit Cui Jiabao hard. ”

Jiang Banxian gave a rough introduction to the situation.

Hong Qi, when he heard that his head was really big, he immediately said:

"Oh, I see, I see. ”

"Actually, our firewood gang has held a financial meeting for several nights in a row, and we haven't thought of a way to increase income. ”

"Hmm...... I can't help much, so I'll go first, I won't bother you. ”

Shuttling back to the pawnshop from the dark passage, the first person he saw was a ghost who was full of worry, Hong Qi was excited, took her hand, and comforted: "You are a great blessing to my life, and it is not so easy to die......"

Then, leaning close to her ear, he whispered, "I still want to be with you forever." ”

"Go!"

Seeing that he was fine, Ah Ghost's mind had basically stabilized, and he exclaimed, "Flesh numb." ”

Looking at the guards who were preoccupied with guarding the pawnshop as if they were facing a great enemy, he smiled and said: "There's no need to be so exaggerated, stabbing me with a knife is purely for personal grudges, it's not a big deal, he is alone, everyone should be careful, and now you look like this, it's like we've already started a war with Xingtianmen and Jinwu Gang." ”

"General Meng?" the clever ghost hit the point at once.

Hong Qi nodded and said, "Very likely." Dao Dao is a person who is willing to shed his blood for any friend, and if Meng Jiang is really one of his friends, then it is normal to take revenge on me. ”

"I hope Meng Qing didn't stay with Daodao, otherwise Daodao's skills and brains, coupled with Meng Qing's methods, would be a very terrible thing. ”

It seems that Ah Ghost is really scruples about Meng Qing, and every time he mentions her, his tone will be solemn.

This time when it came to knives and knives, although there was nothing in her words, her eyes when she looked at Hong Qi were full of concern.

At this time, Hong Qi didn't have the heart to comfort her, he didn't mention Meng Qing all the time, it was based on a special psychology, he never mentioned this woman who made him tremble, and he tried not to think about her.

But now that he heard Ah Ghost mention it nakedly, that scene appeared in his mind again:

The gloomy corner, the gloomy Meng Qing, and the gloomy murder weapon, but this time there is still the shadow of a knife.

He knew that from now on, the things that would not be good for him in the future would rise like waves in the sea, one after another, and one by one they would be swallowed up if he was not careful.

In this chaotic situation, he must not only be thoughtful, but also make all preparations in action.

"Brother Seven, you have already read the account book, it has been so many days, but you want to give some advice?"

In the tearoom of the helmsman of the firewood gang, the five hall masters, plus Ah Ghost and Luo Pantuan, sat on the side and started another financial meeting.

Chang Gengjie was the first to attack and pointed the finger at Hong Qi.

"Alas, Brother Qi, he just wants to fight happily, how can he care about your hard work in managing accounts, you look at him like that, there must be no good financial advice. ”

Suba, who has not had a direct conversation with Hong Qi for a long time, has been in meetings for several days and has not let him go.

Hong Qi only smiled awkwardly, in fact, the firewood gang used to be very wealthy, kidnapped Zhuo Yunzhou to torture the Tianmen people, got a large ransom, and after equipping the firewood gang, there was still half of the turnover, and then he used Wuyuan Chong to increase a large amount of income for the gang.

When these two incomes fell into the hands of Chang Gengjie, he relied on his shrewd business acumen, and under Li Xiyun's careful calculation, the two of them built two large restaurants, four ordinary restaurants, as well as six underground gambling houses, and two theaters, which were all nominally run by the beggar gang after the establishment of the beggar gang.

But these are not enough to ensure the balance of income and expenditure every month, especially when they are still taking care of the beggar gang, so Li Xiyun gave an order, and the beggar gang became the hottest gang at that time, swallowing up the territory of many second-rate gangs, and completely beating the first-class gang Wandering Soul Gate in Wushuang City into a third-rate.

Of course, these gangs are all gangs that are not in line with the Jiangzi family.

After receiving these sites, they also received part of the financial resources of these gangs, that is, collecting protection fees for the shops on these sites.

Finally, after the hard work of Li Xiyun and Chang Gengjie, the firewood gang and the beggar gang lived a period of stable development, not only with a slight surplus every month, but also with a lot of liquidity in their hands, and the future is bright.

However, under Hong Qi's ignorance of the financial situation of his own gang, he was very aggressive, and for the intelligence ability of the Wuyan Gang in Chu Zhoucheng, he not only helped the Wuyan Gang eliminate the old enemy Yunwei Villa, but also got involved in the war between Xingtianmen and the Eagle Alliance.

In these two major operations, the movement expenses for the children of the beggars and the firewood gang alone amounted to hundreds of thousands of silver, not to mention the medical expenses for the casualties and the settlement expenses.

You must know that more than 100 people were mobilized by the firewood gang these two times, and only about 20 people were left at the helm to accompany Suba to watch the house, and more than 200 people from the beggar gang were left in Wushuang City, and the remaining more than 1,000 people all went to Chu Zhou City.

In fact, these people joined the firewood gang for the so-called ideals and beliefs, and the requirements for the cost of life and death operations are not very high.

Counting all the 7788, what are the action expenses, this month's monthly money, settling-in allowances, the bounties for the most meritorious contributions, the replacement of the torn battle robes, and the replenishment of weapons, and now the available silver on the accounts of the Firewood Gang is only a few hundred thousand, which is only enough to distribute the monthly money of the disciples of the Firewood Gathering Gang next month.

"Do you need me to plan a kidnapping or something? You say, I'm always ready. ”

They pointed the finger at Hong Qi, and Hong Qi used this trick like a scoundrel.

"Get out!" Anyway, there were no outsiders there, except for Ah Ghost and Duan Shaoping, the rest of the people scolded him.

Then just like a few days ago, in order to help him, Duan Shao immediately changed the topic and said the opinion he had already said several times a few days ago:

"The monthly income of the disciples of the Firewood Gang every month is too high. ”

"In the past, when I ordered this month's money, Gengjie was based on what you earned in the Iron and Blood Society, right? You don't want to think about it, you are the third master in the Iron and Blood Society. ”

"Now that we have come into contact with the Jiangzi family and the Wuyan Gang, we have realized that we are booking the price of important figures in the first-class gang. ”

"It's really a big burden for a gang like ours that can't develop its own scale on a large scale. ”

Chang Gengjie finally found a countermeasure today to answer Duan Shaoping's question, he said: "

"Duan Shao has been asking this question for a few days, so I have to think about it for a while. ”

"I think this monthly level of money is very appropriate for us, because this decision is related to the strategy of the Seven Gang Leaders. ”

"Think about it, everyone is mixed in the rivers and lakes, in addition to making money, but also to earn face, who doesn't want to follow a big gang with a beautiful scene, show off their power on the rivers and lakes? Even if they can't enter the big gang, they can still mingle in the rivers and lakes in an open and honest way. ”

"But we can't collect firewood, we are destined to be in the rudder of the uncertain land during this period. ”

"In this way, it is actually an insult to every gang. ”

"In this case, these people are still willing to follow us, and in addition to giving them hope ideologically, we should also compensate them financially. ”
