Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

After some calculations, Diao Degui made up his mind and said: "As long as the county magistrate avenges me, as long as the magistrate can save me from the flames, the little ones will have their own filial piety."

laugh,

Wu Kui narrowed his eyes, raised his thin cheekbones slightly, put on a shriveled smile, nodded and chanted: "It's easy to say, easy to say, everything is easy to say."

As he spoke, he bent down slightly, and whispered in Diao Degui's ear: "The closing of the Manyue Tower is unstoppable, but in front of the shopkeepers of several other brothels, my words are still very useful. If you want to save yourself, As long as you go there with the official's name badge, when the time comes..."

Chapter 90 Prepare for Action

After Diao Degui listened to the secret message from Wu Kui, the county magistrate, he asked with a look of bitterness and hatred: "My lord, you mean that you want me to sell all the women who were bought at a high price in the Manyue Tower, all at a low price?" Sold to several other brothels?"

Wu Kui was noncommittal, walked slowly back to his seat with a huff.

After getting Wu Kui's confirmation, Diao Degui still asked unwillingly: "Could it be that Manyuelou, really, is really going to close down from now on?"

Diao Degui still can't accept Wu Kui's so-called self-help method. He has been running a brothel for more than ten years and has made a lot of money. Let him go out of business and do other things. Wouldn't this completely cut off his source of income?

What is the greatest tragedy for a middle-aged man?It means that when people reach middle age, they cannot do what they are familiar with. They have to start anew and reinvest in a brand new, unknown, and unpredictable field.

After Wu Kui heard this, his face was obviously unhappy, and he taunted in a neutral manner: "Do you think your Manyuelou can still operate? Diao Degui, this officer is giving you some advice, and it's not in vain for you to spend so many years." Come and always honor me.”

The situation forced people to retreat, and they couldn't help themselves.

Diao Degui sighed helplessly, nodded silently, and accepted Wu Kui's suggestion.

After a while, a follower of the Wu residence sent a copy of the county magistrate's name badge from the study, and handed it to Diao Degui.

After pocketing the famous assassin, Diao Degui watched Wu Kui hesitate to speak, staggered nonchalantly and did not leave.

Wu Kui saw the clue and asked, "Do you want to talk about that little head arrest surnamed Guo?"

When Diao Degui thought of how miserable he was now, it was all thanks to Guo Ye, a bastard, and he vented his resentment, shouting at Wu Kui: "I hope that the magistrate of the county can help me out of this bad breath! !!"

Wu Kui waved his hand to indicate to Diao Degui that there is no need to say more, and then slowly closed his eyes, as if he were an old monk in meditation.

After a while, he opened his mouth and said, "It's just a small headhunter with no rank or title. You don't need to remind me again and again. Go down."

There was a cold tone in his tone, which made Diao Degui feel a little uncomfortable.

In the end, it was the Bapin county magistrate who had been in the top position for a long time, his words were strong, and he was not angry and pretentious, which was comparable to a businessman like Diao Degui.

Diao Degui said yes blankly, and then exited the living room.

As soon as he lifted his right foot out of the threshold, he heard Wu Kui say through voice transmission not far behind him: "Shopkeeper Diao, don't forget what you promised me."

hiss……

Diao Degui suddenly shuddered, he understood that what Wu Kui was referring to was to give the other party a piece of the pie after selling those girls from good families.

Wu Kui, your mother, really wants money!

Wu Kui replied respectfully again: "After the delivery of the goods, the younger ones will definitely be delivered to the adults' residence in person."

Then, although he was upset in his heart, he left slowly with a shy smile on his face.

After leaving Wu Kui's mansion, Diao Degui sniffed the air outside desperately, feeling a sense of joy in his heart, gritted his teeth and growled ferociously: "Guo, I see you little How can Catcher fight with the Prime Minister of Bapin County? Without the official uniform of Catcher, you are just a dead dog kneeling in front of me, hehe, hehehe..."

……

……

Around the second watch, Cheng Erniu ran to Guo Ye's new home in Fushun Lane.

Guo Ye sent his father Guo Laohan, his wife, and younger sister away, and brought Cheng Erniu to his study.

This study was left when Qin Wei was here. The study is not big, but it is more elegant. There are many calligraphic treasures of scholars in the county hanging on the walls. The people of India are even more remarkable.

It turned out to be the calligraphy of Gu Weiyong, the county magistrate.

Based on Guo Ye's understanding of Qin Wei, it seems that this guy spent a lot of money to buy arty.

Looking at the two rows of bookshelves on the right wall, there are all four books and five classics, but they are all brand new, there is no trace of turning pages, presumably Qin Wei used them for decoration.

But now, Guo Ye, the successor, is cheaper.

Guo Ye signaled Cheng Erniu to find a place to sit down by himself, and then asked, "To make a long story short, is it true that Diao Degui left Wu Kui's mansion and is ready to act?"

Cheng Erniu nodded and said: "Exactly, after this guy left the county magistrate's mansion, he didn't go back to Manyue Tower, but visited several brothels in the north of the city one after another. Among them, this guy lingered in Chunfeng Tower, Hongxiu Zhai, Yi The four families of Red Courtyard and Wenrou Township have the longest time."

Guo Ye listened, and pondered: "This guy is negotiating the prices of those women with these brothels. Now that the Manyue Building has collapsed, the business of the other brothels will definitely be more prosperous. Hehe, the batch of women in Diao Degui's hands Girls from a good family must be very popular, and I think this guy has already negotiated a price. Let’s ignore this, what about the diabolical nobleman now?"

Cheng Erniu said: "After this guy came out of several brothels, he made a detour to enter the Manyue Tower by the back door. But after about half a cup of tea, this guy came out from the back door of the backyard again, and he was still in the Moon Tower when he left. The dozen or so Guigong teapots who were doing odd jobs were taken away together."

Do you have to go through the back door to enter your own shop?

Guo Ye couldn't help smiling, it seemed that Diao Degui was afraid of being thrown rotten eggs at the front door, he deserved it!

But Cheng Erniu's last words also reminded him that Diao Degui left Manyuelou with a dozen or so tortoises at night. Obviously, he wanted to take advantage of the dark to transfer those girls from good families and sell them to other houses.

Hmph, the bastard is quite impatient.

Immediately, he asked Cheng Erniu: "Then where is he going now, is there any of our brothers secretly following him?"

Cheng Erniu patted his chest, and said arrogantly: "Don't worry, little brother, I followed your order early on, and sent three more brothers to continue to follow him. Little brother, do you know where Diao Degui took his people?"

Guo Ye sees Cheng Erniu, an idiot who is still imitating Fatty Zhu's dick at this time, and pretends to be a fool. Doesn't he know that the situation is serious now?

Then he shouted in a low voice: "Hurry up, don't talk nonsense."

Cheng Erniu's face was as thick as a city wall, and he didn't care about Guo Ye's scolding. He said mysteriously, "That bastard Diao Degui actually went to Dongliu Township. Dare Dongliu Township is the place where this bastard hides his population?" .”

Dongliu Township?

The hometown of my father-in-law Wu Maocai and his cheap wife Wu Xiuxiu?

What a coincidence.

At this time, Guo Ye didn't bother to ask Diao Degui why he was able to leave the city when the four gates in the city were closed during the curfew.Instead, he told Cheng Erniu: "Erniu, you call Fatty Zhu now, and then take all the brothers in our arresting squad to Dongliu Township. Don't startle the snake, and find the place where Diao Degui is hiding."

Cheng Erniu asked back: "Brother, won't you go to Dongliu Township with us?"

Obviously, without Guo Ye as the backbone, Cheng Erniu still had no confidence in his heart, and he didn't have the confidence to take charge.

Guo Ye smiled softly: "You go first, I have a horse to travel, and I will catch up with you in a while."

Cheng Erniu heard what Guo Ye said, so he stopped asking Guo Ye if there was anything else he wanted to do. In his eyes, what the little brother wanted to do must have his reasons.

Immediately, Cheng Erniu didn't dare to procrastinate, told Guo Ye to leave, and hurriedly left Guo's mansion to ask Fatty Zhu to work with him.
