With an appreciative expression on Scarface, he gave Li Chuyao a thumbs up, "Wonderful!"

Then he asked again: "Then how do you know that 5000 taels is not enough?"

"2000 taels is nothing to the Li family. One is the status of the Li family in Yecheng, and the other is that 5000 taels are used for gambling. Don't you think it's too much? The opportunities for self-renewal are not endless.”

Li Chuyao knew that there would be no benefit at all, the old lady would not only not help, but would actually make trouble and stand idly by.

All he had to do was to feint and kill with another blow to get the result he wanted.

"Then when will we act?" Scarface rolled up his sleeves, full of enthusiasm.

"First help me find out what the Su family said in the letter to Li's residence, and then find out how the letter got from Zhang Xianglan to the old lady."

Scarface nodded.

"When these are figured out, we will proceed to the next step."

"Okay, I'll let people go."

"Hmm." Li Chuyao secretly wondered if there was anything he had missed. Thinking of the person brought by Uncle Qiong, he couldn't help but frowned. It's better to wait for Hong Shu and Mo Yi to arrive before replacing them.

After the two discussed, Li Chuyao greeted Scarface, got up and went out to find Linwei.

The casino was full of people, especially the players who bought big and bought small, and their faces were red.

Li Chuyao saw the second bald man, who happened to turn his head.

The second bald man raised his eyebrows proudly.

Li Chuyao raised the corners of his mouth and thanked him with his mouth.

"Brother Erbald, quickly help me to see this card." Lin Wei pulled Erbald's clothes, he won a pile of silver in front of him, and wanted to scream out of excitement, he had never seen such a thing in his life Rich.

"You go out with this pair first."

"I'm sorry..."

"Brother Lin, your luck is too good. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm going to lose again." The person sitting opposite Linwei had a bitter brow, and it seemed that his cards were particularly bad.

The second bald man patted Linwei on the shoulder to signal him to be calm, and then said to the other two families: "I don't even look at who taught it by hand, come on, do this."

"I won!" Linwei stood up excitedly, almost kowtowing to the second bald man, he excitedly took the money handed over by his opponent, and prepared to have another one.

"Linwei, go back." Li Chuyao squeezed into the crowd, saw the silver tael in front of Linwei, and praised: "Not bad, your kid is luckier than me."

Linwei scratched his head in embarrassment, looked at the poker cards, and could only say, "Excuse me, everyone, I'm going back with my young master."

"Leave if you win, there is no such reason."

Lin Wei looked embarrassed, Li Chuyao gave the second bald man a wink, the latter understood, and immediately said: "Hey, since I brought him here, I will take his place, come here, and deal the cards."

"Thank you, Brother Ertu!" Li Chuyao bowed his hands to the people present, "Forgive me, but there is something at home, let's make an appointment next time."

After finishing speaking, Li Chuyao turned Linwei for a while, Linwei lost his excitement, he clenched the silver bag tightly in his hand, smiled and said: "Thank you all today, I will come with Second Young Master some other day."

Everyone waved their hands to express their understanding and asked them to walk slowly.

The second bald man rushed to Linwei while looking at the cards and said: "You have a good talent, remember to come and find your brother next time."

"sure."

When the two left the casino, Linwei smiled like an idiot holding the money, not as smart as usual.

Li Chuyao squinted his eyes, and the corners of his mouth looked like a smile, but he got into the carriage and said to Linwei: "You can't tell Uncle Qiong what happened today, otherwise it will be difficult to come back next time."

Linwei held back the corners of his mouth, and took out the 50 taels that Li Chuyao gave him, "Second young master, I will return the money to you."

Li Chuyao was not polite either, he patted Linwei on the shoulder with a smile, "We will be on the same boat from now on."

Linwei nodded, "Second Young Master and I are of the same heart."

"Okay, let's go." Li Chuyao put down the curtain with a smile.

"Yes." Linwei heaved a sigh of relief, put the money back into his bosom, and drove the carriage back.

There was the sound of the wheels rolling, and the curtains swung. Li Chuyao casually leaned against the inner wall of the carriage, his lips were pursed into a straight line, and his eyes were as cold as snow mountains in winter.

One heart, huh, so one heart...

When they arrived at the inn, Uncle Qiong was checking the bill with Gu Lai, and there were occasional voices of Uncle Qiong's doubts, but Gu Lai resolved them one by one.

The carriage stopped in front of the inn, and the two heard the movement and looked over one after another.

Li Chuyao jumped out of the car, lifted his robe, went up the steps, and walked inside.

Linwei followed Li Chuyao, met Uncle Qiong's gaze, suppressed his guilt, shook his head and lowered his head.

Gu Lai came forward with the account, and he was the first to speak: "Second Master Li, it's time to settle the fee this time."

"Boss Gu, you and Uncle Qiong are right." Li Chuyao said indifferently.

Uncle Qiong smiled apologetically at Gu Lai. He pulled Li Chuyao aside and said in a low voice, "Second Young Master, welcome to the branch inn. Although it's good, it's much more expensive than other inns. Why don't we change?"

Li Chuyao frowned, and glanced at Gu Lai, feeling quite confused: "But I agreed, I will live here until the end of the month."

"This..." Uncle Qiong was also in a dilemma. The money given by the old lady really didn't have much room to spare. If it went on like this, I'm afraid even his old capital would have to be taken out first.

"How about this, you take your family to another inn, after all, it won't be long before you settle down on the house first."

"Second young master, what about you?"

"I have to fill it up. We went to the casino today and said that the money we owed should be paid back when I am free. The boss insisted that I sign a written statement and play two rounds. I had no choice but to agree. This is not a win." Dozens of taels, just enough for this month's expenses."

Uncle Qiong: "..."

Li Chuyao faced Uncle Qiong's complicated face, and he waved to Linwei, "Linwei, today is the casino owner, you want me to come for two rounds before leaving?"

Linwei touched the purse on his chest calmly, feeling the heavy and solid money, he nodded.

Uncle Qiong did not doubt him, "If that's the case, then listen to the second son's arrangement."

So the two parties settled the arrears, and Uncle Qiong led the people upstairs to clean up.

Li Chuyao followed, put his hands back, and made a gesture calmly.

Gu Lai glanced at it, and continued to move the abacus in his hand.

Apart from clothes, there is almost nothing to pack.

"Second young master, this is our entire list of vacant houses for today. If you are free tomorrow, why don't we go and have a look first." Uncle Qiong handed the paper to Li Chuyao, and winked at the silent Linnan.

Lin Nan bowed his hands, "Second Young Master, I'll go to find the inn first."

"Okay, Qingxin Street is full of restaurants and inns, take a closer look." Li Chuyao pointed in a direction, not forgetting to remind him to be careful.

Lin Nan nodded, opened the door and left.

Li Chuyao took a look at the list and found that the houses were well selected, all located on the most prosperous Changshi Street and Changli Street.

"Uncle Qiong, did you ask about the price?"

The land price of these two streets in Yinan is about a few hundred taels, plus furniture and other new purchases, at least 500 taels.Yinan is not as expensive as Yecheng, so it is naturally much cheaper.

Uncle Qiong made a three.

Li Chuyao understood, but the old lady only gave 1000 taels to buy the house, add furniture, hire maids for miscellaneous work, and buy weddings, there is almost nothing left.

He sighed in his heart, it is not easy to earn money from the Li family.

Seeing that Uncle Qiong had packed up, Li Chuyao said, "Uncle Qiong should leave now, or wait for Linnan to come back?"

Uncle Qiong smiled, "Let's meet up in Linnan, and ask the second young master to take care of himself."

Li Chuyao nodded and sent him to the door.

Seeing people coming out, Linwei greeted with a smile, "Second Young Master, Uncle Qiong."

Li Chuyao waved his hand and said to them: "Uncle Qiong has booked the inn, why don't you let Linwei come back and let me know."

"Okay, Second Young Master." Uncle Qiong also had the same intention.

At this moment when Youshi was approaching, there were twos and threes on the street, people coming and going from restaurants, and it was peaceful.

The sun shone orange-yellow on the ground, elongating people's shadows.

Li Chuyao took a deep look at the direction Uncle Qiong was leaving, and turned back to the inn.

When Gu Lai saw him coming in, he stopped his hand that was fiddling with the abacus, and came out from the counter.

"People are gone?"

"Yeah." Li Chuyao glanced around, "Where's Brother Zhang?"

"The respondent has gone."

Li Chuyao met Gu Lai's indifferent eyes, and suddenly remembered that Gu Lai had said that Hong Shu and Mo would arrive in two days, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Gu Lai nodded, confirming that his surprise came true.

"If you're being polite, don't say more. I still have something to do. I've made an appointment to talk to someone in the restaurant."

Li Chuyao nodded, he knew that Gu Lai had a lot of things to do recently.

But come to Si Restaurant... Li Chuyao frowned, "Brother Gu, why don't you just let someone come to the inn?"

Gu Lai adjusted his sleeves, took two steps outside, turned his head and said to Li Chuyao, "The boss is from the capital."

After speaking, Gu Lai had already left.

Li Chuyao frowned even deeper. He still remembered that when he went to the capital to ask Su Yu to repay his favor in his previous life, the four major families in the capital were Gu, Li, Song, and Zhao, and the Gu family ranked first.

If Gu Lai was from the Gu family, then in the previous life, the welcome inn was deeply entrenched, and it expanded to the capital, and the door was settled, and it would be solved easily.

It's just that it's intriguing for Gu Lai to leave the Gu family alone and develop in Yecheng.

Or in his previous life, he only cared about the development of his own career, ignoring too many relationships behind it?

the next day.

When Zhang Cheng led Hong Shu and Mo Yi to the inn, it happened to be in time for breakfast.

Li Chuyao's eyes fell on Hong Shu, he still remembered the scene of Hong Shu saving him at the end, the coldness rose in his heart, Li Chuyao clenched his fingers, and it took a long time before the turmoil in his heart returned to calm.

Seeing Zhang Cheng's indifferent face, Gu Lai finally smiled.

Seeing the two people looking at each other, Li Chuyao lowered his head and drank the porridge, pretending that he didn't exist. Alas, when will he be able to share the same room with Su Yu and have a leisurely breakfast...

Zhang Cheng sat down next to Gu Lai, and waved to the two standing beside him, "Hong Shu, Mo Yi, this Second Young Master Li is the master who bought you."
