Chapter 105 Gangster
Not far inside, Yan Xu found a carriage parked in the alley. On it were sacks, ropes, whips, corks, and a wooden box that could fit a person. There was also a hole on it, so you could tell what it was used for at a glance.

Yan Xu's face turned dark, and he simply got on the carriage and drove away.

He really knew how to drive a cart, but before it was a donkey and a mule, and now it was a horse. The principle was the same, but Yan Xu didn't know the road and didn't know the direction, so he could only wait until he walked farther to ask someone. However, he had to clean the blood off his body first, otherwise no one would dare to approach him.

Not long after Yan Xu left, the old beggar came to the scene with a gloomy face.

He waved his hand, and a group of beggars came out from nowhere. Some of them were putting corpses in sacks, some were washing them with water, and some were spreading sand on the ground. They cleaned up the place in a blink of an eye. If it weren't for the lingering smell of blood, you couldn't tell that several people had died here.

The old beggar walked into the alley and touched the cracked blue brick wall. The deep dents and broken into powder made him gasp.

The strength was already frightening, and the fist was even more frighteningly hard. It was obvious that the opponent had extremely terrifying skills.

"Where did this dragon from across the river come from?" Such a ruthless person suddenly appeared without a name or surname, and offended him. The old beggar's few remaining teeth began to ache.

If you don't kill the snake, you will get bitten. It is impossible for the old beggar not to be panicked. Being targeted by such a ruthless person, he doesn't think his old arms and legs can withstand it.

But the old beggar couldn't make up his mind to continue provoking the other party, because the other party's fist was too hard, and if a fight really broke out, who knew who would suffer the most.

However, the only person who showed up just now was Wu Sanye, and he was beaten to death on the spot by the other party. Isn't this a dead body with no evidence?
The old beggar thought about it and finally made up his mind.

"It's better to have less trouble than more. Forget it. I'm old and I don't have many years left to live." The old beggar muttered to himself, and then asked the beggars under him to strip Wu Sanye and his gang of all their belongings, tie the naked people to stones and throw them into the water to feed the fish and shrimps. As for the land, it was naturally theirs, and they should not waste it in their daily life.

Until now Yan Xu didn't know where he was. He only knew that there were low and old houses and ragged poor people everywhere. Seeing him covered in blood, everyone ran away, let alone approached to talk to him. He was speechless and could only find a place to clean the blood off his body.

After finally finding a well, Yan Xu clumsily shook the rope that tied the wooden barrel so that the barrel could fetch water and then wash the blood off his body.

The windbreaker was stained with the most blood and had several holes in it, so he casually threw it aside, revealing his close-fitting armor and weapons. Then, everyone who had been peeking through the crack in the door just now suddenly disappeared.

It is hard enough for poor people to live, who would want to get into trouble?

However, they can hide, but some people not only cannot hide, but also have to take the initiative to come to the door and interrogate their origins, because this is the rule.

During this period, the Qing Dynasty was on its last legs. Not to mention its ruling power over the local areas, even its deterrent power was forgotten like a passing breeze.

Therefore, at this time, warlords were in power everywhere, robbers, bandits, and horse bandits were plundering everywhere, and even the city was not at peace. Except for the patrolmen pretending to be there on the streets, other places were divided and managed by gang unions.

Almost every street and alley is divided and occupied by different gangs. What is better than the bandits is that these gangs are responsible for management while squeezing profits, at least maintaining basic stability, because only in this way can they bring long-term benefits. The gangster gang, as the name suggests, is mainly composed of gangsters, so it is spread all over the streets and alleys, and is known as the largest gang in Shanghai. In fact, most of them are just under the banner of the gangster gang, playing the trick of following orders but not propaganda. They will do it if there is benefit, but don't expect them to work hard if there is no benefit. It is good enough for them to support others and act as an atmosphere group.

This group of people claim to be loyal and would rather lose than to fight, so when they knew someone had broken into their territory, Ge Erdan came with a group of brothers, and then they got a little annoyed.

There were light red water stains on the ground, which were obviously caused by washing the blood on the body. The foreigner's clothes discarded nearby were obviously made of good material, but they were just stained with blood and had a few tears. They were just thrown aside, which made Ge Erdan feel distressed.

"Not only is he a ruthless man, he's also quite rich." Ge Erdan touched his shiny bald head and said to himself.

"No matter how rich you are, you'll become a pauper in our hands." The rat snake at the side said with a sinister smile while squinting his triangular eyes.

"Stop laughing at me. I've told you so many times not to laugh like that. It gives me goose bumps!" Ge Erdan didn't tolerate him and slapped the rat snake on the back of the head. The rat snake, who was as thin as a stick, staggered and almost fell to the ground. However, he still endured the pain and hurriedly put on a smile, otherwise he would be beaten again.

"Be careful when you get over there. This guy must have killed a lot of people just now. It would be best if we can get rid of this murderer. Don't make any trouble, otherwise I will be the first to kill him." Ge Erdan was a big man with a thick waist and a face full of flesh. He had a shaved head. His short shirt was deliberately open, revealing his floral embroidery and the short axe on his waist. You could tell at a glance that he was not someone to be trifled with.

But the reason why Ge Erdan became the boss of this gang was not because of this, but because of his brains.

In his early years, he fought with others everywhere. Although he made some name for himself, he was always inferior to others. Later, he realized that the world of martial arts was not just about fighting and killing, which was only the last resort.

So Ge Erdan deliberately inserted the short axe into his lower back and covered it with his clothes, and smiled, deliberately increasing his pace and walking over in a loose manner, because this was the least likely to arouse the opponent's hostility, and they would start fighting before even saying a word.

"I'm Ge Erdan from the gang. May I know where this brother is from and where he is going?" Ge Erdan was shocked when he saw that the other party was wearing armor. He didn't dare to use any jargon or mention any rules that were not acceptable. He clasped his hands together, showed all courtesy, and spoke clearly for fear of causing misunderstanding.

"As soon as I got off the boat, I felt the impolite behavior of the local gangs, so I killed a few of them." Yan Xu, who still hadn't recovered from the killing state, spoke in a flat tone, but his indifference to killing made Ge Erdan shudder.

Naturally, Ge Erdan has killed several people, but no matter how vicious the gangsters are, their main purpose is to make money. Killing is just a means, not an end, so when they encounter a cold-blooded murderer, they are also afraid.

"Let's go and see which ignorant bastard did this." Ge Erdan saw the carriage and said without turning his head.

Huashe was very observant and looked over at the carriage carefully. He found the secret mark, returned to Ge Erdan, and whispered in his ear.

"It's the carriage of Mr. Wu Sanye from the dock."

"Brother, the ones who attacked you were Mr. Wu Sanye's gang at the dock. They make a living at the dock and are not on the same side as our gang of hooligans." Ge Erdan said hurriedly, fearing that the other party would misunderstand, and he also explained.
