Liu Mang thanked Manager Li who sent him to his hometown and wanted to go home directly.
However, he was too tall. Since he was still in the growth stage, he was even taller than when he left. He instantly attracted the attention of many people on the dock.
"Gang Leader Liu!"
A man wearing a tiger-head jacket shouted in surprise.
After hearing this, the others looked over one after another, and then they all rushed to Liu Mang's side.
"Gang Leader Liu, you are finally back!"
"Want to go visit the gang?"
Liu Mang waved his hand and said, "I'll go home first, and then I'll go and help the General Director."
The others hurriedly got out of the way when they heard this, and a few hurried back to help report the news.
"drive!"
Liu Mang ordered a black horse, whipped it on the butt, and hurried home.
His new home was renovated from the original mansion of more than 100 acres owned by the owner of the Little Knife Club.
However, the furniture inside has been replaced with new ones, and the green tiles have been re-paved, making it look like a new house.
Liu Mang rode to the door of his house, and what he saw before him was a high cyan wall, a red iron door, and two flawless white stone lions at the door with their eyes wide open.
Although Liu Mang was a nouveau riche, the land on which his house was built was decent, no worse than some mansions in the inner city.
Six men wearing tiger-head jackets stood on both sides holding simple knives. The plaque above the door had the two characters "Liu Mansion" written on it.
Seeing Liu Mang, they hurriedly saluted.
"Gang Leader Liu!"
Liu Mang nodded and walked into his house proudly, although he had not even lived in this house for a few days.
After entering, there is a spacious white stone road, with red brick houses of different sizes and functions on both sides and in front.
A maid in a green dress walked over. When she saw Liu Mang, her eyes showed surprise. She bowed slightly and said, "Master!"
"Where is the old lady?" Liu Mang asked directly.
"She's in the back garden."
Liu Mang passed through the house on the front side. What he saw in front of him was a rockery, a pond, and beyond that was a large back garden planted with many flowers and plants.
At a glance, Liu Mang saw Liu's mother wearing a red and black brocade coat, rolling up her sleeves and doing something in the garden. Five or six maids stood nearby, constantly handing her things and helping her.
Liu Mang walked closer and couldn't help but laugh or cry. It turned out that Liu's mother was pruning the branches and leaves of these flowers and green plants. She was really restless.
"Mother!" Liu Mang shouted loudly.
When Liu's mother heard Liu Mang's shout, she turned around happily, dusted herself off, and walked towards Liu Mang.
The maid next to her wanted to help her, but Mother Liu refused and said, "No, no, I can still walk."
"Why did you have to be out for so long?"
"There are many things going on outside, so it has been delayed for a while."
"It's good to come back. Xiaohong, let the kitchen prepare some food and say that the master is back."
"Okay, old lady."
Liu Mang was happy to see that Liu's mother was in good spirits, but he was also a little puzzled, "Mom, are you not worried about me at all?"
"What are you worried about? People come to me every day and tell me what you have done in the world.
I had people put all the generous gifts they gave me when they visited me in that room, and I can hardly put them away anymore!" Mother Liu complained, pointing to a room.
"Who is coming?"
"Ask Butler Wang, he knows everything."
Steward Wang is the younger brother of Accountant Wang, and he comes to work as a steward for Liu Mansion.
He is an old man wearing blue brocade clothes and a green turban. He has half-white hair and a long beard. He looks very knowledgeable.
When Liu Mang found him, Butler Wang pointed his fingers at the treasures and said:
"The Hu family has sent thirty pieces of fine silk and satin, and fifty kilograms of fine fox fur..."
"The Jiangcheng branch of the Sihai Chamber of Commerce in the inner city sent a golden handle, a silver handle, and two agarwood sticks..."
"Wu Yuan's family in the inner city sent a set of four treasures of the study, a set of silver wine vessels, and two precious calligraphy and paintings..."
"The Yinsha Sect has sent three taels of deep-sea black iron and four hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum..."
"There are also rewards from the city lord's palace and gifts from the Cai family in the inner city..."
"Yin Sha Sect also gave it?" Liu Mang was a little surprised, and the other party's gift was not light.
He had some unpleasant encounters with Yin Sha Sect.
When he was riding a golden tiger to seek revenge from the Fire Crane Sect, he was blocked by Zhou Shilong, the leader of the Yinsha Sect. Now it seems that the other party is deliberately trying to repair the relationship.
Unless there is a life-and-death feud, there are no eternal enemies in this world.
"Remember them all, I will visit them one by one at the end of the year." Liu Mang said in a deep voice. Naturally, relationships must come and go.
"I've recorded it all in the account book, sir, don't worry." Butler Wang replied.
Liu Mang walked around the house a few times, chatted with Liu's mother for a while, and then rode off to the helm of the Golden Tiger Gang.
When he approached the gate of the main helm, a large group of people rushed out, all of them looking excited.
"Hello, Gang Leader!"
"Hello, Mr. Liu!"
"Master Liu is mighty!"
Among these people are Liu Mang's little fat boy Liu Shu, who is much thinner than before; Ban Yang, who has become the new leader of Black Water Hall, still looks as elegant as ever, but a little more dignified; and there is the new leader of Baishui Hall.
Qilin Hanlin, whose bearded and rugged look has not changed at all; Cai Binwen, the new leader of Zifeng Hall, no one knows how many hidden weapons he hides under his clothes;
There is also the old boss Niu Cong, the leader of the Flying Snake Hall. Although he lost an arm in the battle with the Fire Crane Clan, he seems to be in particularly good spirits; as well as Yuan Fuwan, the leader of the Sanhe Hall, Wang Yukai, the leader of the Red Earth Hall, and the rookie E Sheng Liu in the gang.
Wang Zhigang with mole, Wang accountant with half-white hair...
When Liu Mang saw these people, he couldn't help but feel a sense of being out of this world.
Some time ago, he was still fighting life and death, becoming a hero all over the world, but now he has returned to the Golden Tiger Gang as his comfortable deputy leader.
Maybe life can be so fragmented sometimes?
"Whatever you are doing standing here, go in and tell me." Liu Mang said with a smile.
Niu Cong shouted, "Since the gang leader is back, it is a great event. There will be a big banquet tonight!"
Everyone said, "That's right, that's right."
Liu Mang...
Why do you people just eat and drink when nothing happens?
Fortunately, I practiced martial arts, otherwise my liver would have been damaged by alcoholic liver disease.
He couldn't help but miss his previous life. There were many entertainment activities. Not only could he eat, but he could also go to karaoke, go to an Internet cafe, and play board games...
Liu Mang has only been away for more than a month, and the Golden Tiger Gang has not changed much.
The main business is still transporting freight through waterways and charging dock fees for berthing. However, due to the opening up of new trade routes such as Taicheng and Yuncheng, the turnover and profits are much higher than before.
Liu Mang also roughly checked everyone's martial arts skills.
Since the Golden Tiger Gang lowered its martial arts standards, the strength of the gang has been steadily increasing.
Although no great master has emerged except Liu Mang, it is foreseeable that this will happen sooner or later.
Among the people, only Niu Cong and Wang Yukai have stepped into the third layer of iron sheet due to their previous accumulation.
Yuan Fuwan, Lin Hanlin, Ban Yang, Cai Binwen and others still remain in the stone skin realm.
Liu Shu surprised Liu Mang. He had already stepped into the realm of cowhide, and his foundation was not unstable. This shows that this kid still has two points of talent.
Wang Zhigang, a boy with six moles, surprised Liu Mang even more. He entered the realm of stone skin within two months of learning martial arts.
Although the external skills are practiced very quickly in the early stage, it can be seen that he has extraordinary talents and is already considered outstanding in the Golden Tiger Gang.
"Are there no people from the inner city coming to make trouble?" Liu Mang asked casually.
"In the beginning, there were some inner-city forces who were disobedient and arrogant, but after the gang leader, you, became known as the Nine-Life Crazy Tiger, now all of them are honestly better behaved than rabbits." Bearded Lin Hanlin said with a smile.
Did it spread so quickly?
I have to say that Liu Mang has already accepted this title, so he can just call it what others call it.
"Roar!"
A golden winged tiger more than two feet long ran quickly from the roof of the main helm and jumped in front of Liu Mang in an instant, stirring up a large amount of dust.
The Nine-Ming Crazy Tiger and the Golden Tiger looked at each other quietly.
"Brother Tiger, long time no see." Liu Mang smiled.
"Roar!"
The golden tiger's big amber-green eyes stared closely at Liu Mang, and there was actually a trace of joy in his eyes.
"Okay, okay, I understand. I'll go grill you right away."
