Chapter II. 158. Steal yourself

When Shen Gui was young, he once met an old man from Nankang, who also liked to smoke Hibiscus for pleasure, and that man's name was Zhou Shutong, who was originally the head of the Huayan Merchant Gang who was rich in the world; After embarking on this road of no return, there is no longer such a person on the rivers and lakes, and everyone habitually calls him 'Lao Gui'.

If you talk about the entire Huayu Continent, who understands the harm of this thing best, then it must be Shen Gui. No matter what the reason was, in Shen Gui's heart, the innate aversion to such items had penetrated deep into the bone marrow.

However, in his heart, even if he used this kind of thing to kill the enemy, it could be said to be the most devastating way; What's more, this Shuangtian gambling house is still Youbei's own industry, and the boss behind the scenes is the actual helmsman of Youbei Third Road, driven by what reason, he will use this kind of thing that eats people and does not spit out bones, to harm his family?

Therefore, when Wan Changning said the word 'smoke house' in his mouth, Shen Hui didn't have time to be angry, and he had already fallen into deep doubts.

Yan Day, an unlucky child, really doesn't know how powerful Ah Furong is? Or do you want to use this thing to accomplish some ulterior purpose?

Wan Changning saw that Li and Shen both looked bad, so he could only continue to say stubbornly:

"Before, because Guo Xing's army was surrounded outside the city, people in Fengjing City were naturally panicked. Therefore, anyone who has a little way and some Taoism has already fled from Fengjing City in advance. At this time, the people who remained in the city were either ordinary poor people, or court officials who had sent their families away. In this way, none of the businesses in this Fengjing City can be sustained except for the prince's two-day gambling house! And the flower street of the north and south markets, Willow Lane...... Naturally, there are no more high-rollers......"

When Shen Gui heard this, he raised his hand and threw the tea bowl to the ground:

"So our prince is 'very kind' and will use those fireworks girls as tools that can be used to wantonly kill and have fun, and keep them in his two-day gambling house? Then after the war is over, do you have to erect a merit monument for him outside the archway in the South Market?"

Li Deng could still calm down when he heard this, because what he desperately wanted to know was what his crown prince's nephew wanted to do now.

Wan Changning continued with a look of embarrassment:

"After the crown prince temporarily took over the post of superintendent, he found that the rich families in Fengjing had fled, and with it, all the industries in Fengjing were ruinedβ€”the merchant and the wealthy customers had fled, so what else was there to do? So, the angry prince ordered Zhang Huangling to close the city gate. Up to now, this Fengjing City is no longer allowed to enter or leave. In the current tense situation, all the people who were blocked in the city no longer had the heart to work. They sold their real estate and ancestral businesses one after another, intending to enjoy a good ...... before the city broke down and died."

When Shen Gui heard this, he came to a conclusion:

"There is no master in Willow Lane in Flower Street, but the girls still have to eat, so they will be included in the Shuangtian Gambling House by the prince...... At this time, there is no other place to play in this Fengjing city; Therefore, the wealth of the people who were locked up in Fengjing by the crown prince can only flow into the prince's pockets......"

Don't look at Yan Tian's narrow heart, but as long as it's about silver, it's really a bit outstanding! He took advantage of the enemy's siege of the city, and when the people in the city were panicking, he first added a handful of firewood to the panic - blocking the road out of the city; After that, he half-grabbed and half-bought all the Qinglou girls in the north and south markets into the Shuangtian Gambling House; In this case, the price of land and houses in Fengjing City will naturally plummet, and he will ...... at ultra-low prices

It is conceivable that if after the end of the war, Youbei had not fallen into the hands of Beiyan, and his Yan Day's national disaster would have been sent to his grandmother's house!

In this way, he will be able to completely get rid of the embarrassing situation of being controlled by Lee Deng after successfully ascending the throne.

Li Deng, who had been frowning, muttered to himself at this time:

"But he already has such a status, what does he want so much silver for?"

When Shen Gui heard this, he involuntarily glanced at him, and said secretly in his heart: What did you say you wanted silver for? It's not your old man, you've been scared of the Yan family for so many years?

Yes, today's Shuangtian Gambling House can really be described as a comprehensive entertainment venue of 'pornography, gambling and drugs', and under the trend of 'addiction and death' in Fengjing City, it is even more profitable.

However, it can also be seen from Yan Tian's arrangement that he himself doesn't care too much about the final victory or defeat of this battle; If Youbei wins, of course, he will continue to be his crown prince, inherit his throne, and enjoy the worship of thousands of people; If the north is defeated, he can also sit on the golden mountains and silver seas, and only need to change his outfit on the day the city is broken, and under the protection of the two thousand Taibai Guards, there is no problem in escaping from this war-torn place! And with the national disaster wealth that comes from this 'digging up the corner of one's own wall', he can also live the rest of his life comfortably.

With such a small family spirit and a bit of 'low-level cunning' temperament, Yan Tian really deserves to be the seed of a broker family!

Li Deng thought about it, then turned his head to Shen Gui and said:

"The old man has just learned about these things, and some of the key points are not yet clear...... Now, then, go back to your house and rest; After the old man finds out everything, let Li Fu go to the house to invite you...... Hey, Yan Day, this kid ......"

After the matter was decided, Shen Gui, who had been away from home for many days, finally returned to his house. He didn't disturb Liu Banxian, who was pretending to sleep at the gatehouse, but walked lightly to the door of Yan Qinghong's wing, and before he could reach out and push the door, the voice of the woman in the house crying came from his ears:

"Second brother, no matter what, he is also one of the murderers! Now that we have killed him directly, how can we say that we can't kill a good person by mistake! ”

After that, the person who answered the phone, the voice was extremely familiar, and Shen Gui knew that it must be Yan Qinghong's kid when he heard it:

"What's the use of killing him? It's just an errand runner, and he can't take revenge at all! And what's so hard to end his dog's life? It's just a matter of a knife; But in this way, the whole clue is completely broken! If we had spared him a dog's life, we might have been able to drag a big fish along his line......"

Hearing this, Shen Gui walked into the room and said to Yan Qinghong jokingly:

"Huh? I didn't expect that I hadn't seen him for a few days, and our second brother Yan had also learned to put a long line? Who is that person you just mentioned? It sounds like we have a lot of grudges against our little princess......"

In fact, Shen Gui didn't have a good impression of Princess Fengyang, a woman who likes to play smart. But after all, she has an extremely beautiful face, and she hasn't done anything bad to herself, so she doesn't need to speak ill of her.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Where did you die after so many days? Lao Tzu almost confessed......"

"Don't think that if I'm not at home, you can talk nonsense! I left Fengjing only after I knew that your kid didn't have to worry about his life! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I'm not talking about burns, I'm talking about assassination! ”

"Who would have stabbed you so blindly? Why bother with all this effort! With your brain, it won't take long to wait for you to play yourself to death! ”

"I'm not joking with you, but fortunately, you still have a Liu Banxian sitting in the formation, so you can keep a few of us well. Liu Zhi...... Oh, Lu Xiangyin's closed disciple is still locked up in the firewood room in the backyard at this moment! ”

When Shen Gui heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up:

"Huh? It seems that I have been away for a few days, and there are many guests at home! What's going on? Let's take a closer look! ”

Yan Qinghong rolled his eyes and snorted at Yan Shuqing. Unexpectedly, Princess Fengyang ignored his gesture at all, and sat on the side pretending to be stupid. Yan Qinghong couldn't do anything when he saw it, so he could only carefully tell Shen Gui the reason for the fire in Beilan Palace, plus his own guesses.

After Shen Gui listened, he probed Yan Qinghong's forehead that was exposed outside:

"The fire burned your brains out? Now that everyone has taken it, what else can they guess? Just ask me, wouldn't you just get it? ”

"Liu Zhi is the young supervisor of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, if he doesn't want to speak, who can pry open his two rows of iron and steel teeth?"

Shen Gui listened to Yan Qinghong's words, tilted his head and thought for a while, then chuckled:

"Alright, I'll do it for you. I'm really waiting here, and I'll be back after a stick of incense......"

After speaking, Shen Gui turned around and went out and went straight to the firewood room.

As soon as he entered the firewood room, he saw a little fat man in a night suit, who was struggling to twist his body. After Shen Gui stretched out his hands to investigate slightly, he raised his leg and kicked Liu Zhi's buttocks:

"Don't bother, your pipa bones, these two big tendons, plus the Qi Sea Dantian, have all been sealed to death by Liu Banxian, and it is really impossible to escape at all......"

Liu Zhi didn't stop when he heard this, but writhed harder:

"You think I don't know? My back is so itchy......"

Shen Gui sighed, and while helping him scratch his back, he said to him with kind words:

"Why did you kill Concubine Lan? Why did you kill the second prince? Why don't you kill Fengyang? Why set it on fire? I've done you so much, and you can tell me something, so that when I go back, you can feel better......"

Liu Zhi smiled after listening:

"It is rumored that Shen Gui is a smart person, but I don't think that's it. Guess why no one has come to me for a few days? It's not because I'm from the Imperial Horse Prison, and I'm notoriously tight-mouthed! If you really want to know, let me see what tricks you have at your disposal! But let me tell you upfront, if there's nothing new, it's best not to be embarrassed in front of me! ”

Shen Gui looked at Liu Zhi's expression, and he already knew a rough idea in his heart.

In the face of this kind of die-hard, he was not annoyed with Chengdu; Just squatted down and whispered a few words in his ear, Liu Zhi looked stunned, looking at that appearance, the whole person had fallen into a dilemma.

After about half a pillar of incense had passed, Liu Zhi finally raised his head, and said in a slightly hoarse voice:

"Although I don't have any solid evidence, I have guessed that eight or nine are not far from ten! The person you want to know is the crown prince Yan Day! ”
