Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

But after he caught up, that figure disappeared into the crowd like a glimpse, and there was no trace of it anymore.

Standing in the middle of the street, Guo Ye scratched his cheeks anxiously and said, "Grandma, what a hell, could it be that I was delusional just now? Maybe it was really delusional. There are so many people with similar backs in the world, that's all, that's all... "

After muttering depressingly, he had no choice but to walk back in the direction of Taipingfang.

Dongshi, where Orchid's Restaurant is located, is nearly half a city away from Taipingfang, and it takes a long journey.

Guo Ye stopped and stopped on the road, stopping from time to time to enjoy the street view and new gadgets in Chang'an City. When he returned to Taipingfang, it was already after lunch.

After entering the mansion, my stomach was already so hungry that I clamored and protested like thunder, and my stomach was rumbling.

Adhering to the habit of looking for Zhenniang when he was thirsty, and looking for Zhenniang when he was hungry, Guo Ye entered the mansion and the world shouted Zhenniang's name again.

The well-behaved Zhenniang left food for Guo Ye early in the morning, and went straight to Guo Ye's study with the hot food from the kitchen.

Still, Zhenniang is caring!

When Guo Ye saw the food on the table, he shook his arms and began to eat it for a while, that was a hungry one!

Seeing such a bad diet, Zhenniang was full of joy, and she stood there watching Guo Ye babbling and babbling.

When Guo Ye was eating enough, a servant came to announce that Guan Jiujiu would come to visit.

Guo Ye guessed that Lao Guan should have come to repay the burial of Dr. Sima, so he asked his servants to invite Guan Jiujiu into the study.

After a while, Guan Jiujiu rushed into the study, Zhenniang saw the opportunity and immediately removed the empty plates and bowls in front of Guo Ye, passing Guan Jiujiu as they entered and exited.

Sure enough, when Guan Jiujiu came into the room, he made a report, like a clattering plan in his hands, and detailed the money needed for the burial of Dr. Sima and the selection of grave acupuncture points, etc., without any distinction. Difference.

Guo Ye smiled and motioned Guan Jiujiu to sit down, and praised: "Lao Guan, I never thought that I could handle so many things in one morning. Not bad, not bad, your efficiency is absolutely outstanding."

Guan Jiujiu replied reservedly: "Your Excellency, you are absurd. Hehe, it's not that Guan is capable, but it's easy to do things these days with money. My Lord, here are the accounts. Please take a look at them again."

As he spoke, he took out the account book from his sleeve and was about to hand it to Guo Ye.

Guo Ye waved his hand to decline, and said with a smile: "Old Guan, can I still not trust you? I don't worry if you do things. Checking accounts will be avoided in the future."

Guan Jiujiu chuckled dryly, and stuffed the account book back into his sleeve pocket.

Guo Ye asked again: "After the burial of Dr. Sima, why did Wei Shuyu and those bastards go?"

Wei Shuyu?

Guan Jiujiu immediately came to his senses, and said: "Your Excellency, are you talking about the sons who brought the remains over in the morning? Oh, they all went back, it seems that they all went back to their homes. The students heard that the son surnamed Wei said that recently For a few days, I have to cultivate my health at home and never leave the house.”

Cultivate your health without leaving the house?

Who believes!

Guo Ye smiled, the matter of Dr. Sima obviously sounded the alarm for these bastards, it seems that the three of them were also scared enough by the Four Seas Gambling House.

Seeing Guo Ye's inexplicable smile, Guan Jiujiu thought that he had said something wrong, and added in a timely manner: "The students have had a little contact with these young masters this morning, and I can tell that they have a lot of admiration for you. You follow suit."

Guo Ye laughed even more when he heard what Lao Guan said. Isn't this nonsense?Now the only one who can solve the gambling debt crisis of Sihai Gambling House for them is themselves, can they not follow their example?

Forget it, it seems that this matter, I have to do it myself.

Immediately, he asked: "Old Guan, how much cash do you have now? Can you get me 5 taels of silver in a short time?"

"What?"

When Guan Jiujiu heard the 5 taels of huge silver, his face suddenly changed, and he muttered to himself: "5 taels? So much?"

Guo Ye asked: "What? Is there a problem?"

"No, no, no." Guan Jiujiu repeatedly shook his head, and said, "Our Haitian Feast Restaurant has been open in Chang'an for three years, and we have saved some money. With 5 taels of cash, we can barely make it up. But my lord, forgive my students for asking too much, why do you need so much money? Could it be that you want to deal with the big bosses of the court?"

Guo Ye had nothing to hide from Guan Jiujiu, and then revealed the 5 taels of gambling debt Wei Shuyu and the others owed to Sihai Gambling House.

Including the death of Dr. Sima, Sihai Gambling House, Wuhu Gambling House Ben's family and the real helm behind the scenes have all been revealed one by one.

The story was told with twists and turns, Guan Jiujiu's face was full of climaxes and unpredictable changes, and finally said with some horror: "The student has been in Chang'an for three years, and he has heard of the name of Changle Fang. I really didn't expect it. The famous Jiangxia King Li Daozong, tsk tsk, it's really incredible."

Guo Ye nodded sympathetically and said, "Yes, if I hadn't known that there was a Jiangxia King standing behind me, otherwise with my temperament, how could I have paid off the gambling debt of 5 taels for those bastards."

"Hey, that's it, that's it, the students naturally understand the temperament of adults."

Guan Jiujiu laughed a little, he still didn't know Guo Ye's temperament, but he was a master who never suffered easily, even if he was bitten by a dog, he would gnaw back his bloody hair along the way.

However, when he heard that Guo Ye was so generous that he wanted to pay off the gambling debts for Wei Shuyu and the others, he couldn't help reminding with some reluctance: "My lord, within three or two days, the 5 taels of silver will be collected by the students. But you have to think about it." , this 5 taels is real gold and silver, spent on these dandy boys, it's cheap for all over the world, isn't it a bit unfair?"

"Not wronged, not wronged at all!"

Guo Ye shook his head resolutely, and woke Guan Jiujiu up: "Old Guan, don't say that these dandies are not bad in nature, and they can be used as strength in the future. Let's talk about their father, Wei, Fang, and Du. The names of the three adults are more than 5 taels of silver can be measured? Now that they have formed a good relationship, he may not be able to lose us. Do you still remember a sentence that I often said when I was in Longxi? ?”

Listening to Guo Ye's analysis, Guan Jiujiu secretly felt that it was reasonable. If the adults could get the help of Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui in the officialdom in the future, then the future would really be limitless.

As for the sentence that Guo Ye often kept on his lips, how could he forget it in his heart?

Immediately replied: "Of course the student remembers that the adults once said that things that can be settled with money are nothing."

Guo Ye laughed and said, "Yes, that's what it means. Well, you go back and prepare first. When you have the money ready, you go back to the mansion and let me know. I will let Wei Shuyu and those bastards accompany you on the road." Once by Changlefang."

Guan Jiujiu said yes, got up and said goodbye with fists in his hands, turned back and left the study door, and left slowly.

Guo Ye walked to the door of the study, watched Guan Jiujiu leave, his face suddenly showed pain, twisted his cheeks and said in a hateful voice: "5 taels, bastard, it's enough for a year in Shanghai Sky Feast Restaurant Your income! Four Seas Casino, Changle Square, and King Jiang Xia, you are cutting Laozi’s flesh and drinking Laozi’s blood, damn it!!!”

pop~~

Guo Ye slammed his palm on the doorpost next to the door, with a look of resentment on his face.

Standing there, dazed for a while...

Suddenly, Guo Ye withdrew his hand on the doorpost, put his hands behind his back, and walked out of the study door slowly, and came to the small courtyard outside the study.

In the small courtyard, he paced and meditated, and said to himself: "Paralysis, 5 taels of silver should be fed to dogs. But I won't let you be so comfortable. If you take my money, at least you will be disgusted." Give it to you. Hmph, I also want to express my anger for Dr. Sima who died unjustly."

"I can't afford to offend you, so why don't I dare to add trouble to you?"

After complaining, Guo Ye vaguely had an idea, even a plan, and yelled aimlessly outside the small courtyard: "Come here, come here..."

A servant rushed in from the small courtyard in response, bowed and bowed, waiting for his orders.

Guo Ye asked, "What's your name? Are you from Chang'an?"

The servant replied cautiously: "Little Huang Ao, a native of Chang'an."

Huang Ao?
