The most powerful patriarch in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 33 Jiujiang Hero Gan Hui
"Uncle Yuan, are you in a hurry with me?" Lu Changle asked directly when he saw Lu Jinyuan sitting in the hall.

Lu Jinyuan stood up and said simply and concisely: "Patriarch, Gan Hui is here, and I have something important to tell you."

Gan Hui?

Come to think of it, Lu Changle asked Lu Jinyuan to secretly investigate Fan Sanbo, when Lu Jinyuan recommended his friend Gan Hui,
Recently, he has been busy dealing with Fan Sandao, so he almost forgot about it.

"Okay, where's the person?" Lu Changle didn't talk nonsense.

The decisive battle of pine brocade has happened, and there is not much time left for him to develop and grow.

"There are too many people here, so I let him wait at my house."

Lu Changle turned around and walked out: "The one who can make Uncle Yuan admire him so much must be a remarkable person, let's go, let's meet him."

Soon, Lu Changle saw Gan Hui in the side hall of Lu Jinyuan's house.

He is so tall. He should be more than 1.8 meters tall. He has a Chinese character face, eagle brows and sharp eyes, and the temples on his forehead are bulging high. At first glance, he feels that this person is simple.

Lu Jinyuan took the initiative to introduce: "Patriarch, this is my good friend, Jiujiang hero Gan Hui."

Gan Hui shook his head and said with a wry smile, "Brother Jin Yuan doesn't need to put gold on my face anymore. I'm not a hero of Jiujiang, but an idler who was abandoned by his family and went into exile."

Lu Changle looked at Gan Hui, who was tall and long, with piercing eyes, his heart moved, and he quickly asked, "Is Hero Gan from Haicheng East Garden?"

Gan Hui hesitated, nodded quickly and said, "Exactly."

A real man doesn't change his name when he's on the job, or his surname when he's sitting, and he doesn't have to fake his name, so he doesn't have to hide his native place.

Lu Changle's eyes lit up, and after confirming that he was the fierce man in the legend, he said happily: "It's really Hero Gan, I've admired his name for a long time."

Gan Hui, a servant in Dongyuan Village, Haicheng County.Parents died early, and the family was poor.He is a man who values ​​righteousness and acts as a chivalrous man, and loves to fight against injustice,
It is said that after beating the son of the patriarch who bullied the tribe, he was persecuted by the patriarch and has been wandering in Zhangzhou, Shima, Haicheng and other places.
After joining Zheng Chenggong's anti-Qing team, he began to show superb martial arts and excellent leadership ability.

Many folklore stories, as well as unofficial history notes "Five Tigers at the top and Five Tigers at the bottom",
Both described Gan Hui, the admiral of Zheng Chenggong's army, as the number one general after the Nanming Dynasty,

Li Dingguo, who is both literary and brave, and insisted on resisting the Qing Dynasty, is the No.1 general.

Once, a soldier of the Eight Banners Army witnessed Gan Hui's murderous power, and his soul was shattered.
People asked, how powerful is the law?
The soldier said, "The pirate kills a man and cuts it into six pieces."

Everyone was shocked and asked, how can it be cut into six sections with one knife?

The soldier replied, "Three people rode away, and the thief cut off the waist with a knife, and they were all broken. Isn't it six sections?"

When Lu Jinyuan asked Gan Hui for help, Lu Changle felt that the name was very familiar, but he didn't remember it for a while.

It wasn't until Gan Hui said that he was not tolerated by the clan and was wandering in the rivers and lakes that he was identified.

It may be an exaggeration to say that it is an exaggeration to say that Gan Hui is a fierce fighter, there is no doubt about it.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty had not yet fallen, and Zheng Chenggong had not publicly recruited soldiers.

That is to say, the present Gan Hui is just a vagabond who is not tolerated by the clan, and has his ups and downs.
The legendary fierce general appeared in front of him, and Lu Changguang's saliva almost flowed down.

Take it, take it, have to take it.

Gan Hui said bitterly: "He is a rootless person, and the patriarch Lu praised him."

Lu Changle smiled, invited the two to sit down, no longer entangled in the issue of fame, and asked, "I'm looking for you so urgently, do you have any news?"

Gan Hui glanced at Lu Jinyuan, got a nod from the other party, and then said: "Patriarch Lu, Fan San called this person a little suspicious."

It's right to be suspicious, Lu Changle nodded secretly in his heart, and said calmly, "What can Daxia Gan say, there are no outsiders here, but it's okay to say."

Gan Hui responded, put down the teacup in his hand, and said seriously: "Fan Sanbo is a businessman on the surface, but his behavior is very suspicious."

"Fan Sanbo is keen on officialdom and has a close relationship with many officials in Fujian, including military generals."

"The guard force of Fan's Commercial Firm is very strong, and they have a guard team called the Black Tiger Team. The personnel are extremely capable, and many of them are suspected to be veterans of all battles."

"Fan Sanbo has a close relationship with barbarian merchants and often barters with barbarian merchants"

"In addition to the Black Tiger Guards, there are also many hidden plots around Fan Sanbo and Dayuchuan Tea Shop. If it wasn't for Gan's repeated caution, he would have been discovered long ago."

"Fan Sanbo will often go to a hidden house in the west of the city after meeting with Patriarch Lu. The house is very quiet. Judging from the meat and vegetables that the servants buy every day and the clothes to be dried, there are people who live in secluded places in the house."

"The strangest thing is that the house looks ordinary, but in fact, there are hidden piles in the surrounding houses. The guards are either Lian Jiazi, or the kind of people who have seen blood. They should be protecting that mysterious person."

Gan Huiyin told everything he heard and knew,

Lu Changle and Lu Jinyuan listened quietly without interrupting Gan Hui's speech.

"According to the news obtained from the senior executives and generals that Fan Sanbo interacted with, Fan Sanbo built a mysterious Nine Heavens on Xiaoyue Island in the south of Changle County. The strange thing is that everyone who has been there is tight-lipped. The guards are tight, and Gan tried to sneak in three times but failed, and was almost discovered."

"Black Tiger Team, Jiuchongtian? This Fan's firm is not easy." Lu Jinyuan said with some surprise.

Lu Jinyuan is well aware of Gan Hui's ability, something that even he didn't understand in Fujian,

Certainly not easy.

Lu Changle said to himself: "I've heard about this. Fan Yongdou, the owner of Fan's Commercial Firm, believes in Zhao Gongming, the God of Wealth. The black tiger is Zhao Gongming's mount. He calls the guard team the Black Tiger Team, just to pray for wealth. As for Jiuchongtian, I really haven’t heard of it.”

Every time after getting together with Fan San, Lu Changle would recall the details of their communication when he went back.
Sometimes I ask a few questions intentionally or unintentionally. After nearly two months of information collection, I have obtained a lot of information.

As for Jiuchongtian, Fan Sanbo had never heard of it.

She is very guarded, for so long, she just didn't show her words at all.

As for the mysterious man in the west of the city, nine out of ten are from Jianlu's side.

Lu Changle also noticed something,

Sometimes when discussing some sensitive topics, or looking for Fan Sandao for a large amount of goods on credit,

Sometimes Fan Sanbo didn't make up his mind on the spot, and often had to wait two or three days before replying.
From Fujian to Liaodong, riding the fastest horse will take at least a month to go back and forth.

In other words, there are important figures sitting in Fujian, whose status is at least higher than that of Fan Sanbo.

"I didn't expect Daxia Gan to collect so much information. You've worked hard." Lu Changle stood up and saluted Gan Hui seriously.

"Patriarch Lu is killing Gan. In fact, Gan also takes money to do things, so I dare not say it's hard work."

Lu Changle looked at Gan Hui, who was covered in dust and dust, and had a small hole in his cloth shoes, and asked casually, "Where does Hero Gan end up?"

In order to ask Gan Hui to make a move, Lu Jinyuan gave him 50 taels as a reward.
In less than two months, Gan Hui was still wearing shabby clothes, even with a small hole in his shoes.

I heard from Lu Jinyuan that Gan Hui invited two Jianghu friends who are proficient in Dingshao to help.

50 taels is half of the money, and the remaining 25 can be used to make up for yourself.
Judging from the current situation, needless to say, it must be spent.

Wine, sex and wealth, if you get involved in anything, the money will never be enough to spend,
The vast majority of people in the rivers and lakes will be stained with one or two things, and some will be stained with all of them.

It has become commonplace for the people of Jianghu to be poorer in the third and richer in the fifth.

Gan Hui said freely: "People without roots can live wherever they go. The earth makes their bed, the sky makes their quilt, and the four seas make their home."

Lu Changle's heart moved, he turned his head and said to Lu Jinyuan: "Everyone who comes is a guest. Hero Gan is the most honorable friend of our Lu family in Fuzhou, so you must entertain him well."

"No, no need." Gan Hui said sincerely, "Ms. Gan is in trouble, if she stays here, it will bring unnecessary trouble to Mrs. Lu."

No matter how high your martial arts are, you can't raise a knife against your own people.

Gan Hui dared not go back to his family or visit relatives, so he could only wander outside.
Because he is good at fighting against injustice, he likes to move around the Jiulong River, so he got the nickname of Jiujiang Hero,
At the same time, it also provoked many enemies.

Lu Changle laughed: "The Gan family in Haicheng is very powerful, but no matter how powerful it is, it can't control the Lu family in Fuzhou. I admire the hero Gan very much. I beg the hero Gan to give me some face and stay here for a while so that I can let him go." Let's do the Lord's favor."

After finishing speaking, he gave Lu Jinyuan a wink indistinctly.

Lu Jinyuan understood: "Brother Gan, you can stay here. Haicheng Gan's hand can't reach here. We haven't competed for a long time, so it's time to compete."

"Fan's business is not over yet, we have to trouble Daxia Gan to continue monitoring, Daxia Gan can't give up halfway." Lu Changle added from the side.

Gan Hui clasped his hands and said, "Patriarch Lu and brother Jin Yuan are so enthusiastic, but Gan will be disrespectful."

Wandering in the rivers and lakes sounds chic, but really wandering will find it difficult,

Often there is no next meal, no money to stay in a hotel, and being bitten by mosquitoes in the wild,
To have money is to travel, to have no money is to be a vagabond,

Gan Hui received 50 taels and distributed some to friends who helped.
Pay off some old debts, and go to the brothel to relax a few times,

Now the pocket is cleaner than the face, there is a place to stay, and I can learn martial arts with my good brothers, what I wish for.

　As the old saying goes, there is love in the southeast and the north, so please support me, hee hee
