Chapter 147: No Way Home
In the lobby of the old house, there are two low tables with freshly brewed tea and freshly picked fruits. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Uncle Tai and Chu Li were invited in, and each sat on one side.
Chu Li looked around the furnishings in the room and said,
"No wonder Zizhulou is invulnerable and fearless. If you sell these things in the lobby, you can buy a lot of soldiers and horses. ”
Uncle Tai picked up the hot tea and took a sip.
Zizhulou can oppose the imperial court, and the military and financial resources are naturally strong.
"I wonder if the general came into Zizhu Tower, did he have a feeling of suffocation being swallowed by the whirlpool?"
In order to behave vividly, Chu Li deliberately pinched his neck with both hands when he spoke.
Someone sneered, and Chu Li subconsciously looked out of the house, but there was no one.
Tai Shuwan stared at the wall across from them, and the voice came from there.
They can't see the people behind the walls, but the people behind the walls can see them.
Ning Chaolai stared at Uncle Tai's eyes and said,
"I don't know what the two adults are doing when Uncle Tai and the bus commander come to Zizhu Tower?"
"That's right." Chu Li got up and bowed to the opposite wall, "The owner of Zizhu Tower may not know that someone in Zizhu Tower has entered and left the house of an official in Chang'an City without permission to kill people. ”
Ning Chaolai laughed, "The unwitting bus commander, the people in Zizhulou, were all instructed by me to kill people." ”
Chu Li was stunned for a moment, the master of Zizhulou was really arrogant, he had already given the steps, as long as he went down, Zizhulou and the court could get along in harmony and have nothing to do, but the man didn't appreciate it, and bluntly said that he was going to go against the court.
Chu Li continued to ask, "I don't know why the landlord went to the official's house to kill people?" ”
"Bus Commander, Zizhulou is a killing organization, you ask me why I want to kill people, isn't this the same as an adult holding the court and asking why he wants to work for the court?"
"But what the landlord wants to kill is not an ordinary person, but an official of the imperial court."
"Commander of the bus, don't try to fool me, when did I say that I would kill the court officials? The only people I let kill are the subordinates of the court officials' families. It's just a subordinate, in the eyes of you eunuchs, the life of a subordinate is worthless, and it is the same as an ant. ”
Chu Li was muffled, and there was no way to deny that no one would take the lives of his subordinates seriously.
can fight back without thinking about it, and talk back to people, Uncle Tai only knows that Ning Chao is coming.
The person behind the wall had a completely different voice from Ning Chaolai, but Tai Shuhuan heard it a little familiar.
"Looking at the world, how many people treat their subordinates as human beings? If you do a good job, no one will do everything to find me Zizhulou. ”
If you want Zizhulou to stop, unless the imperial court achieves the equality of all beings, this is what Ning Chaolai means.
Chu Li was surprised, and said that the owner of Zizhu Mansion was brutal by nature, but in his opinion, it may not be.
The oppressed are all poor families, how can Zizhulou care about the few taels of silver that he has poured all his money.
If this man can do things in the court, it will be a blessing to the people.
Chu Li put away his perfunctory words and said to Ning Chaolai, "What the landlord said, I will definitely inform Your Majesty." ”
"Zizhulou has nothing to do with the imperial court, and what I said has nothing to do with Your Majesty, don't confuse the two."
A cold voice came from behind the wall, with contempt and disdain.
If the Ning Dynasty came, would he be so disgusted with the court and the emperor? Uncle Tai had a whim.
"The landlord, please forgive a few days, the court will deal with this matter as soon as possible." Chu Lidao.
"What does the affairs of the court have to do with me. I said, the imperial court and Zizhulou can't be compared, what the imperial court wants to do, that's the matter of the imperial court, how do I do Zizhulou, it's Zizhulou's business. ”
If it's still not light or serious, I won't answer any other way if I continue to talk about it.
"Chu said goodbye."
Chu Li bowed to Ning Chao, then turned back to his uncle and said, "The lower official is waiting for the general outside." ”
Uncle Tai hadn't said a word since he stepped into Zizhu Tower, and he just listened to the two of them, but he didn't say anything, thinking that he was secretly observing Zizhu Tower or this mysterious landlord.
Chu Li didn't know that Uncle Tai was observing, but he was still thinking about finding someone in his heart.
"Uncle General was left alone, I don't know what else to advise?" Ning Chao said.
Uncle Tai held the cup and said, "The tea in Zizhulou is so cold. ”
Ning Chaolai chuckled, Uncle Tai was really interesting, thinking that Zizhulou was the Prime Minister's Mansion, and as soon as he came, she would add hot tea and talk to him?
"Yes, Zizhulou is good for everything, but the tea is cold quickly, and the tea is cold and no one is left, if Uncle General is fine, go back to the mansion to drink tea."
Uncle Tai took a sip of herbal tea and said,
"I'm looking for someone."
"Uncle General, please tell me who you are looking for? Different people, different prices. ”
"Liulan."
Qi Niang's face changed, Uncle Tai knew that Liu Lan was gone, if Liu Lan was sent back at this time, Uncle Tai would definitely suspect the person behind Zizhu Tower.
Qi Niang is worried, Ning Chaolai is not afraid. What she thought was that Uncle Tai had won the emperor's appreciation, and he was rewarded constantly, so if he really wanted to send Liu Lan back, he had to take advantage of the situation to blackmail him.
She instructed Qi Niang to slow down the matter of sending Liu Lan back.
"The son of Jiangnan Liufu is not cheap, and ordinary people come to ask for 5,000 gold. Uncle General is different from ordinary people, there is a small treasury in the house, and he has 8,000 gold. ”
Eight thousand gold is not a small amount.
"Okay." Uncle Tai didn't want to think about it.
Immediately a slave maid went in the lobby and added tea.
Uncle Tai was silent for a moment and said in a low voice,
"And Ning Chaolai."
"Ning Chaolai, this person is not very easy to evaluate." Ning Chaolai pondered and said, "She was once the daughter of the prime minister, a talented woman in Chang'an, as expensive as a heavenly daughter, and then the daughter of a criminal minister, so she can't be seen...... It's not as good as this, it's the same as Liulan, eight thousand gold. ”
"She's not the same as Liulan...... As long as you can find someone, I am willing to pay 20,000 gold. ”
8,000 gold is already a ridiculous amount, and Uncle Tai is willing to use 20,000 gold to find a woman he once didn't want.
"People who come to Zizhulou expect to spend less money, and they have never seen anyone who can raise the price by themselves, and General Taishu is not an ordinary person, and he can't do ordinary roads. It seems that the position of the dismissing Ning family son-in-law in your heart is very important. ”
was clearly laughing, but Uncle Tai couldn't hear the slightest smile.
He had wondered if the person behind the wall was her, but after hearing this, he could confirm that it was not.
If Ning Chao came, what she said would be "Uncle General spent a lot of money to find a woman he didn't want, did he want to show that he was broad-minded, or did he want to express that he had a daughter in his family and let it go?" "Yunyun. Instead of saying it so bluntly, Ning Chaolai was very important in his heart.
"Tomorrow, I will have someone send 28,000 gold to Zizhu Tower, and I hope you will fulfill your promise and find the two of them."
As soon as Qi Niang came back, she heard 28,000 gold, and she couldn't help but open her mouth wide.
After making sure that Uncle Tai was out of the lobby, she said, "Use 28,000 gold to find Liu Gongzi, Uncle Tai is really a big deal, Zizhulou has never received such a big order, if it weren't for Liu Gongzi being a man, I would have thought he liked people." ”
"Like?" Ning Chaolai sneered, "Uncle Tai's heart is made of stone, if you say that he has no blood or tears, I will raise my hands in approval, if you say that he likes a person, I will think that your eyes can also be cured." ”
In Ning Chaolai's heart, Uncle Tai is a collection of the shortcomings of all men in the world, and he is useless.
Qi Niang kept her mouth shut, so as not to make Ning Chaolai unhappy.
