"No!" Zheng Gang objected almost without hesitation. To become his vassal would be to become his slave. Although it was better than a slave, this was definitely not what Zheng Gang wanted.
"Zheng Gang, actually you don't have any choice!" Li Xiaohu shook his head and said: "What you have is just an empty shell. What does the seemingly big Zheng family really have in your hands? An Emperor Group, and
Is it just an unwarranted position as the head of the family? But, among the clan uncles, who will listen to you now? They even want to take away your position as the head of the family. The Zheng family’s truly profitable smuggling industry and underground underworld have been eliminated by you.
The uncles of the clan and your uncles from the fourth clan control it. However, the power of the government of the Zheng family is controlled by your uncle from the third clan. All you have is a little money."
Li Xiaohu's analysis was absolutely correct. Zheng Gang now is just like when Kangxi first came to power. His power was controlled by Obai. He was just an empty emperor who didn't even speak in front of the ministers.
Rights. In this regard, Zheng Gang also expressed his helplessness, but even if he was an empty family leader, he was not willing to be someone else's slave. Zheng Gang shook his head and said: "I would rather have no power than be a slave!"
"Haha, first of all, I didn't make you a slave; secondly, even if you want to be the head of the empty family, it's not that easy!" Li Xiaohu said with a faint smile: "Several uncles of your clan are aiming at it.
Given this position, you must know it better than me, right?"

, what needs to be done?”
"I will let you do what you should do, and I will never let you do what you shouldn't do." Li Xiaohu stood up and said with a smile: "I believe you will know that if you are attached to my name, you will be better than others."
Others are much stronger. I can tell you frankly that the Juxing Gang is a vassal of my Li family."
As soon as these words came out, Zheng Gang couldn't help but feel excited in his heart. If he could get involved with the Juxing Gang, then even without Li Xiaohu's help, he would definitely be able to deal with several clan uncles. However, someone could pave the way for him.
, that is naturally the best. Zheng Gang and the old housekeeper negotiated quietly. Zheng Gang immediately knelt down on one knee and said respectfully: "Zheng Gang has met Master Li!"
"Haha, actually, there is no need to be so polite. Let's treat each other as brothers. I see you are a few years older than me. From now on, you can just call me Xiaohu, and I will call you Brother Zheng!" Li Xiaohu didn't have any airs at all, which made Zheng
Gang was very touched in his heart. At least, it would be easier to talk to others in front of his own people. Otherwise, it would be a bit awkward to address Li Xiaohu as Master Li in front of his wife.
Afterwards, Li Xiaohu took out a cooperation agreement, and Zheng Gang took a quick look at it before signing the agreement. After that, Zheng Gang opened a bottle of champagne himself and poured a glass for everyone. Zheng Gang raised the
Cup, said: "Brother Xiaohu, come, let's have a drink!"
"Okay, happy cooperation!" Li Xiaohu nodded, then raised his glass. Everyone raised their glasses, including the old butler, who also raised the wine glass in his hand. Li Xiaohu glanced at the old butler and said: "Old butler, from now on
