Kang Rui did not resist at all. Instead, he looked at Shen Tianshu and said, "I wonder what the relationship between this lady and our gang leader is. Can she really save our gang leader?"
"Are you from Gang Leader Cao?" Shen Tianshu asked, narrowing his eyes.
Kang Rui hesitated for a moment, then nodded, and then said eagerly: "Madam, our gang leader's condition has really become more and more serious over the past year. If Madam can do anything, everyone in the Beidou Gang will be grateful to you. In the heart.”
"I can't even see it!" Shen Tianshu sighed after hearing this, "At least the people in Anqing Mansion want Gang Leader Cao to abdicate quickly and make way for someone worthy of his position, right?"
Kang Rui was speechless. Even though half of his face was covered by his beard, it still couldn't cover his flushed face.
"The gang leader is getting worse every day. We no longer dare to disturb him with gang affairs." Kang Rui lowered his head and said, "What happened today really made you laugh. In the past, when gang leader Cao was in good health, There's no way this will happen."
Shen Tianshu also understood why he just felt that the people below were not very convinced of Kang Rui. It must be that he still stubbornly followed the previous gang rules of Gang Leader Cao in some aspects, and invisibly blocked other people's financial paths. For the sake of it.
Shen Tianshu looked around, went to the roadside and gave a few pennies to the old man who wrote the letter for him, borrowed paper and pen, quickly wrote a few lines, bought an envelope, sealed it, and handed it to Kang Rui.
"Take this letter back and give it to Gang Leader Cao. If he is willing to believe it, I will go to Sanfutan. If you don't believe it, then there is no need for me to ask for trouble."
Kang Rui held the fluttering envelope in his hand and watched Fan Yuru and Shen Tianshu walk away under the protection of the guards. He suddenly felt that he had been too impulsive just now.
Although he didn't see what the young lady wrote just now, judging from the time from when she started writing to when it was finished, the total could not exceed fifty words.
Is it really necessary to bother the gang leader with this letter with no clue what it said just because of a few words from a random person?
For a moment, Kang Rui felt as if he had been knocked down just now, and he wanted to throw down the Xin Tuan Ba Tuan Ba Tuan Ba in his hand.
But then he thought about how he had taken the time to visit Gang Leader Cao last month. Seeing him in pain, and thinking that the doctor said that now he could only do his best and obey fate, he felt a pang of pain in his heart.
Gang leader Cao was not only his savior, but also raised him up and treated him like a son. Regardless of whether he could help or not, he would always give it a try, otherwise he would be scolded and kicked out.
After Kang Rui made up his mind, he went back and took his horse out of the city without further delay.
Sanfutan is located on the mountainside not far southwest of Anqing Mansion. Cao Chengyi liked this place back then, so he finally used his relationship with Prince Ren's Mansion and spent a lot of money to successfully win it.
After that, he spent almost five years on and off cleaning and expanding the water pool on the mountainside, building roads and building a mansion, intending to use this as a secluded place for him to retire after his old age.
It's just that he never expected that he would live here before he was even fifty years old.
From the foot of the mountain to Sanfutan Waterside Pavilion, you need to pass several checkpoints. Fortunately, Kang Rui is not an outsider, so he quickly arrived at the door of Cao's house.
Receiving Kang Rui was Cao Xuhui, Cao Chengyi's eldest son.
"Xiao Rui, why did you come here when you were free? Be careful not to let Yao Yichen find out. Then he will put on your shoes again."
"Brother Xuhui, don't worry, it's okay." Kang Rui got off his horse, threw the reins to the servant aside, and said, "How is your health these days, leader?"
When he heard him ask this, Cao Xuhui's eyes immediately turned red.
"It's still the same. I've been asking the doctor for help, but nothing has improved. The doctors all said that I'm afraid I won't be able to survive the spring..." He couldn't help but choke up more as he spoke, "If you've been free recently, how could you have done it?"
It’s good to come back a few times, but I’m afraid we won’t see each other this time.”
"Brother Xuhui, don't think so. God will not let such a good gang leader live such a short life."
When Kang Rui heard what Cao Xuhui said, he didn't care whether the lady he met on the road could be trusted. He handed the letter to the gang leader and let him make his own decision.
"I came back today not only to see the gang leader, but also because I wanted to deliver a letter to someone. The other party said that she had an old relationship with the gang leader, but it was inconvenient for her to come and visit her, so she asked me to help deliver the letter to see if the gang leader wanted to see her.
"
Cao Xuhui didn't feel surprised when he heard this. Over the years that Cao Chengyi has been the leader of the Beidou Gang, he has countless friends from all over the world. It is normal for him to come to visit when he heard that he was sick.
He glanced at the clock in the corner of the hall, estimated the time and said, "It's a coincidence that you came here. At this hour, Dad should be awake by about this time. Let's go over and take a look."
The two of them walked through the corridor and went straight to the main room at the back.
As soon as the door curtain was raised, Kang Rui smelled a medicinal smell, which was stronger than when Yu Yu came here.
It was very dark inside the main house, with the curtains at the front and back drawn, and only an oil lamp burning in the main room.
The two of them began to walk softly subconsciously as they approached the yard, and even more so when entering the house, for fear of making any noise.
But a feeble voice still sounded in the house and asked: "Go and see, who is coming outside?"
The curtain inside was lifted, and a woman in her thirties came out.
"Aunt Yun, has dad gotten up? Kang Rui comes over to see him."
Aunt Yun nodded slightly to Kang Rui, and then said: "The master is already awake, but he is tired and doesn't want to get up. He is still leaning on the bed. But it doesn't matter if you go in. Kang Rui is not an outsider. The master will be happy to see him coming."
"
Cao Xuhui and Kang Rui entered the room one after the other. Sure enough, Cao Chengyi, who was leaning on the bedside, saw that Kang Rui had really cheered up.
After a few words of greeting, Cao Chengyi couldn't help but said: "Xiao Rui, you're here, how's it going in Anqing Mansion? There are less ships coming and going in winter now, but after this year, the money collected should be enough for everyone.
After a good year, you must remember to tell Yichen that you must restrain your subordinates and not smash the sign of our Beidou Gang."
Before Kang Rui could speak, Cao Xuhui had already deliberately made a serious face and said: "Dad, the doctor said you shouldn't worry about it. There will naturally be people watching these things. Your top priority now is to get well in good health."
Cao Chengyi sighed deeply when he heard this, leaned on the big pillow behind his back, and said: "I know my own body well, I just don't want to hand it over to you, a smoky Beidou Gang."
"Dad, if you want to get well soon, I can take care of it myself. I don't want to be the gang leader."
Kang Rui saw that the tone of Cao Xuhui's words had changed, and he was about to cry uncontrollably. He quickly took out the letter from his arms, handed it to Cao Chengyi and said: "Gang leader, I am here to be a messenger to help you deliver the letter."
coming."
Cao Chengyi was not interested in the letter, but his son was in his thirties, and he didn't want to make him cry in front of Kang Rui, so he took the envelope and opened it to read the contents carefully.
As expected by Kang Rui, the letter contained only a narrow strip of paper with two or three lines written on it.
Before Kang Rui could explain the origin of Mingxin, Cao Chengyi suddenly became excited, grabbed Kang Rui's arm, and asked each other what they were talking about.
But before the words came out of his mouth, Cao Chengyi immediately opened his mouth and gasped for air, his head and face turned purple from holding back, and his eyes were squeezed out, which was particularly shocking.
