C26 Worship the Luo Ma
After scolding Du Qi with disappointment, Yao Fugui turned to Wan Changqing. He smiled obsequiously and said, "That kid is always stubborn and does not know what is good for him. Please do not lower yourself to his words. As long as I can arrange a job for him, I can guarantee that he will be happy to do it! "
Wan Changqing couldn't help but be secretly delighted when he heard this, but he didn't wait for Du Qi to speak. He hurriedly said with a solemn expression, "Chang Qing is under the orders of Deputy Sect Master Qu. How could he dare to make Young Master Du lower himself to the position of guest elder? I have specially invited Young Master Du to be my Sect's worshipper. I wonder what Young Master's opinion is?"
Yao Fugui was the first to rejoice. "Good, good, I agree!" Although he didn't know why he was a "worshipper," it was his biggest wish to have Du Qi join the Camel Horse Gang. No matter what he did, he could do it. Moreover, just by hearing the name "worshipper," he knew that it was not much different. From Wan Changqing's words, it was not difficult to know that this worshipper seemed to have a higher status than the guest chamberlains that Du Qi wanted. Therefore, he hurriedly agreed.
Du Qi thought about it and said, "May I ask who is the master of your gang, Deputy Sect Master Qu?"
Wan Changqing said, "The name of Deputy Master Qu of Qu Cai's gang is famous in the martial world. Could it be that Young Master Du has not heard of it?"
Du Qi was surprised and said, "Rumor has it that Qu Cai is the master of Camel Horse Gang. It turns out that he is the Deputy Master. In that case, may I ask who is the master of your gang?"
Wan Changqing said awkwardly, "I am in charge of Deputy Master Qu's gang, but I do not know his name."
Du Qi was even more surprised when he heard that. The number one gang in the world, the Camel Horse Gang, had such a reputation under the leadership of the Deputy Sect Master. As a senior manager of the Camel Horse Gang, Wan Changqing actually didn't know who the gang leader of the gang was. No one would believe such a thing if it was told to others. Who was the Sect Master that could make Qu Cai submit to him? Could it be that the Camel Horse Gang didn't have a gang leader? He couldn't help but ask, "What kind of treatment will I get after I join the Sect?"
Wan Changqing explained, "The position of the Sect Master is noble, and his status is respected. Wherever he goes... If the leader of the gang comes in person, he will enjoy the treatment of the leader, and his annual salary will be 1,000 silver taels. Because the gang will pay for the expenses of the gang. If you are on duty, you will be paid a thousand taels of silver per year. Deputy Sect Master Qu also made it clear that Young Master Du could act on his own. He is not restricted by any rules of the sect, but he must protect the reputation of the sect."
Yao Fugui could not help but be wild with joy when he heard this. He was even more excited and spirited than when he had assumed the role of the Camel Horse Gang's "worshipper." However, when he saw that Du Qi only cared about asking the east and west, and did not express his stance, he could not help but urge him in secret. However, Du Qi was thinking in his heart, how could the Deputy Sect Master appoint a worshipper who received the treatment of the Sect Master? And it was an unknown young man like me? So he asked again, "How many people are there in the Sect of Worship like this?"
Wan Changqing said, "There shouldn't have been any in the past, and now there's only Young Master Du."
Du Qi could not help but feel suspicious, and declined, "This kid has no talent and no morals, how could he dare to obtain such a high position? Division Lord Wan, please reply to Deputy Sect Master Qu. I appreciate your good intentions. Please take back your orders! "
Wan Changqing said with difficulty, "Deputy Sect Master Qu had repeatedly ordered me to reach this matter. Besides, I still have something to ask of Young Master Du, so please do not resign!"
Du Qi thought to himself that he had come. As expected, he had something he wanted me to do for them. Even so, as long as he called me into the sect, he would at most give me the status of a foreign delegate according to my request. I wouldn't be able to refuse it, so why would I have to give me some kind of high status, a position that the gang has never had before? He said, "Since that's the case, I can only accept it respectfully. However, I want to withdraw a year's salary first. I wonder what Division Lord Wan's thoughts are?"
Wan Changqing said excitedly, "Thank you for fulfilling my wish, Master Du. This subordinate will be able to smoothly complete my mission. As long as Master Du gives an order, there will be no problem to pay an additional year and two years' salary in advance."
Du Qi saw that Wan Changqing did not have the slightest intention of making things difficult for him. Instead, he readily agreed to his request. Moreover, it did not seem like he was faking it. He was even more confused as to why a large gang like the Camel Horse Gang would invite him to take up the position of a Master without any reason. He said, "What do you need me to do?"
Wan Changqing said, "Consecrate Du, the most important thing right now is to ask you to learn all kinds of signals and contact methods of our gang. Familiarize with them. How about I tell you in detail about the various personnel matters of this gang tomorrow? " He saw that Du Qi did not have any other comments, so he clapped his hands. He called out, "Please welcome Manager Xie!"
After a short while, a man with a pockmarked face, who was in his forties and had five green horse hooves embroidered on his chest, pushed open the door and walked in. After a bow, he said respectfully, "Greetings Revered Master Du, Division Lord Wan, and Elder Gui."
Wan Changqing said, "Revered Master Du, this matter will be handled by Manager Xie Xiangfa, Manager Xie, how about it?"
Du Qi frowned and nodded. "I don't like the title of 'Master'. Division Lord Wan just needed to arrange it. "
Wan Changqing said to Xie Xiangfa who was standing respectfully at the side, "Later, bring Young Master Du to the accounting room to collect the salary. Today's schedule of young master will be arranged by you."
Xie Xiangfa received the order and said, "Yes! Young Master Du, please follow me."
Du Qi followed behind Xie Xiangfa and went to the Xiangyang branch of Camel Horse Gang to withdraw a thousand taels of silver from the bank account. He handed a stack of notes with the denomination of 10 to 100 silver notes to Yao Fugui and asked Xie Xiangfa, "Where should we go now? ”
Xie Xiangfa said, "Young master, how about you come to my home to make some clothes?"
Du Qi said," Please arrange it, Uncle Xie! "
Yao Fugui seemed very excited and excited. His hand that was holding the banknotes was still shaking. He used his other trembling hand to wipe his eyes. He calmed his anger for a long time. He still felt that his heart was beating very fast, and his legs were weak when he walked. Du Qi followed behind Xie Xiangfa. As he walked, he listened to Xie Xiangfa explain the Camel Horse Gang's sign language and communication method. They walked two streets before turning into an alley. After a short while, they arrived at a door. Xie Xiangfa stopped and knocked on the door. A very pleasant female voice came from inside, "The door is not locked, please come in!"
Xie Xiangfa pushed the door open. Du Qi saw that it was a simple but very clean hall. There were three other doors leading to other rooms, but the doors were tightly shut. He didn't know what was happening inside, but a woman was leaning against the table of the Eight Immortals in the hall, doing needlework. She raised her head and looked at Ying Ying, who was standing by the door. Yao Fugui saw that this woman was about thirty years old last year, and she was peerlessly beautiful. Her mature charm was alluring, and the golden steps on her head kept shaking as she moved. She was wearing a long green dress with no flowery decorations, making her tall figure look more graceful and graceful.
Xie Xiangfa introduced, "Young Master, this is my wife, Jing Fann Qiuhong, who is doing the trimming work in the gang." Then he turned to the woman and said, "This is Master Young Master Du, Master Du. This is Master Yao Fugui."
Fann Qiuhong bowed and said, "Greetings, Master and Elder Gui."
Yao Fugui saw that Fann Qiuhong was as beautiful as a flower, but Xie Xiangfa had a face full of pockmarks and looked very unpleasant. He thought it was a pity, but he quickly said, "No need to be so polite, no need to be so polite. Hehe. "
