On October 10, after arranging the affairs on the mountain, Gu Haotian set off with his father and his family to return to Gujiazhuang. and Xu Churen, the magistrate of Yuncheng, who has no name, also wants to go to thank him.

At the same time, another fleet left the pier at Golden Beach. Xiao Jiasui was the leader, with Xiao Rang, Shi Qian, Zhu Fu, Di Cheng, Ba Sanlang, and Ma Xun and Li Kui with 30 elite infantry battalions to cooperate with the operation. Jinling Town has also sent someone to deliver a letter over, and Zhao Neng will be able to rush back in a few days.

The guest house in Jeju Dongcheng is where Gu Haotian and his party lived when they bought horses in Jeju before, Xiao Jiasui and his party lived here again, and Ma Xun and Li Kui were placed in the courtyard rented by the Intelligence Department in Jeju in the early stage because their goals were too big. After that, the troops were divided into two routes, Xiao Jiasui, Shi Qian, Di Cheng, and Ba Saburo went out of the east gate to secretly visit the Poison Dragon Gang, and Xiao Rang and Zhu Fu went to the city to inquire about the acquisition of the hotel.

The Poison Dragon Gang's sphere of influence is in the commercial district in the east of the city and the area along the river and lake in the east gate, which was once rampant and abnormal, and after Uncle Zhang arrived in Jeju at night, he spent a lot of time to rectify his arrogance from the bright side, but he still did lawless things in secret.

He led everyone to a huge warehouse group south of the east gate, saying that this is their den, and the two-story building is the residence of the red-faced catfish, where the warehouses are all operated by them, and the goods of the merchants must be stripped by them first. A few people pretended to be merchants and walked forward for a while, and immediately saw a few men in strong clothes coming to stop them, saying that the warehouse was heavy and could not be approached, and a few people turned around and went north when they saw this.

From the north side of the East Gate to the North Gate, along the river and lake, there are many shops built against the city wall, and although there is no curfew during the Zhou Dynasty, it is a bustling leisure and entertainment area in Jeju City. A few days ago, after the examination of Gu Hao Tiangong Academy, he and a group of people came here to swim. At this time, it was getting nearly late, so a few people played along the street and found a place to eat by the way.

"That place is Tingtao Tower, and the little officials teased Wang Lun and others here that day, and they are still laughing when they think about it."

Shi Qian pointed to a teahouse around the corner, and talked about the interesting story of that day, and everyone couldn't help but laugh when they heard it.

"I'll go over and see later." Di Cheng said excitedly.

But when they arrived at the door and were about to enter, there was a fierce quarrel upstairs, followed by the sound of cups and plates breaking. A few people were not curious, so they quickly walked up to the second floor, but saw a few streams of angry splashes, surrounded by a shopkeeper-like person who was insulting, saying that bedbugs were mixed in the tea, and asking the shopkeeper to give an explanation. The shopkeeper repeatedly assured that the store had been operating for several years and had an excellent reputation, and that there would be no misunderstanding. When the shopkeeper refused to admit it, they became even more arrogant.

Seeing that they couldn't be quiet, the guests left their seats one after another, and Xiao Jiasui and the others also left Tingtao Tower, but they couldn't help but be puzzled in their hearts, thinking that the shops in such a prosperous area must have been opened by powerful people, how could they let a few people splash wild.

Xiao Jiasui always felt that something was abnormal when he thought about it, so he stopped a middle-aged tea customer on the side and asked for the reason.

"The good teahouse can't be opened for long." The man sighed.

"But why?" Xiao Jiasui asked.

"The backer has fallen, and the good fat is not coveted by others." The man replied.

The backer fell, Xiao Jiasui seemed to think of something when he heard it, so he warmly invited the man to a restaurant on the side to eat, and the man did not shirk when he saw that there was white food to eat.

"I'm waiting for the first time in your place, and I'm very curious about this matter, I don't know if my brother can tell me." Xiao Jiasui pretended to be curious.

"Not many people in Jeju City know about this matter, and you are looking for the right person when you ask me." The man was triumphant, "The original owner of this Taolou is surnamed Liang, and he is a four-grade official in the imperial court, and there was news two days ago, saying that he offended Cai Jing and was dismissed. ”

"There is such a thing, it is said that the person has been an official in the court for many years, even if he is dismissed, there should be some power, why is there someone who is anxious to bully the door." Xiao Jiasui felt that something was abnormal.

"Hmph, it also depends on who it is, you also saw a few people in the teahouse, do you know who they are?"

"I'll wait for the strangers to find out, and I'll ask my brother to tell me."

"They're all members of the Poison Dragons." The man lowered his voice and pretended to be mysterious, "The Poison Dragon Gang has coveted this treasure land for a long time, and in the past, because there was a four-rank Beijing official behind it, they didn't dare to do it, but now that they don't have that scruples, how can they let it go." ”

"This poisonous dragon gang is also a gang, and it is really bold to dare to attack the Jingguan in the lower field, how can he know that he has no good colleagues, so he will stand out for him." As soon as Xiao Jiasui heard that the Poison Dragon Gang was involved, he took the opportunity to investigate.

"How much do you know?" The man glanced at Xiao Jiasui and the others, took a sip of the wine glass, Ba Saburo immediately filled it for him, and the man spoke again, "The Poison Dragon Gang has been rampant in Jeju for more than ten years, do you think there is no one behind him, otherwise how could Governor Zhang's strong means not be eliminated." ”

"Oh, who's behind the Poison Dragons?" That's what Xiao Jiasui wants to know most.

"I don't know that." The man replied.

Xiao Jiasui and the others were disappointed, and after chatting for a while, the man couldn't say anything anymore, so the dinner ended hastily.

Thinking all the way back to the inn, Xiao Jiasui immediately wrote a letter and asked people to send it to Gujiazhuang immediately. On the afternoon of the third day, Gu Haotian hurried to Bian Xiang and others, it turned out that Xiao Jiasui had an idea after learning about Tingtaolou, but this matter must be done by Gu Haotian in person to succeed, so he wrote the plan and sent it to Gujiazhuang, so that Gu Haotian could take the idea, and Gu Haotian saw that this plan was feasible, and the family ancestor worship and other things had been completed, so he entrusted his father to thank Xu Zhixian and immediately rushed over.

Let's say that the shopkeeper Yang of Tingtaolou has been annoying recently, and after his backer fell, the Poison Dragon Gang came to make trouble in three days, and he didn't want to give up. Now he wants to get rid of Lou, but who dares to buy food in the mouth of the Poison Dragon Gang, and he is unhappy with the Poison Dragon Gang, and more importantly, he will definitely be pitted with all his blood.

In the evening of this day, the shopkeeper Yang had just sent a group of troublemakers away, and he was sitting in the room with a long sigh, but he saw the man come in to report that there were three guests who wanted to see him. He hesitated for a moment, then asked the man to bring them in. After a while, I saw three people coming in outside, starting with a handsome young man who was Gu Haotian, and the other two were Xiao Jiasui and Zhu Fu.

"The three guest officers want to see here, I don't know what advice they have?" Shopkeeper Yang asked suspiciously.

"I don't dare to advise, it's just that I've been drinking tea in your building for the past two days, but every time I see a splash of skin coming over to spread wild, this is such an elegant place, how can the shopkeeper tolerate dirty characters running rampant here." Gu Haotian asked deliberately.

Shopkeeper Yang was silent for a moment, and then said: "Even if the guest officer sees it, he doesn't hide it, those people are all members of the Poison Dragon Gang, and they are very powerful, and they are helpless below!"

"Poisonous Dragon Gang, don't you care about the government?" Gu Haotian asked again.

"The government - alas, I'm afraid that it can be managed for a while, but it can't be managed for a lifetime!" Shopkeeper Yang sighed.

"It's hard to let it fall, shopkeeper, don't you have any other ideas." At this time, Xiao Jiasui interjected.

"What can it be?" Shopkeeper Yang responded depressedly, and then suddenly thought of something, he suddenly looked up at Gu Haotian, "Lang Jun is ......"

"If it's appropriate, that's fine." Gu Haotian replied with a smile.

"What price does Lang Jun want to offer?" Shopkeeper Yang suddenly became excited.

"Can you be the master?" Gu Haotian knew that there were other people behind this teahouse.

"Naturally." The shopkeeper Yang patted his chest and said.

"What's the price?" Gu Haotian asked lightly.

"Hmm-" Shopkeeper Yang hesitated for a moment and stretched out a finger.

"Shopkeeper, you are not sincere, let's go, petty official." Zhu Fu saw that he was bidding 10,000 taels, so he made a gesture to leave.

"Wait a minute, officer." Shopkeeper Yang hurriedly said to stay, "Eight thousand, it can't be less." ”

"Eight thousand taels was not high, but you also understand that this is the territory of the Poison Dragon Gang, and we also bought it at a great risk, and it is not certain whether it can be opened, so let's do it, I will pay five thousand taels, if you can do it, you will make a deal, and if it doesn't work, it will be scattered." Gu Haotian made the price, and then stopped talking.

Shopkeeper Yang saw that the other party only gave a price of five thousand taels, and the gap was too big, so he hesitated for a while.

"Let's go, little official, this place will be left to the Poison Dragon Gang." Zhu Fu came out again at this time to sing red-faced.

"Alas! That's it, that's it, I'll buy it from you. ”

Shopkeeper Yang had a headache when he thought of the Poison Dragon Gang, although five thousand taels was a little less, it would not be a loss, it was much better than being forcibly occupied by the Poison Dragon Gang, so he agreed.

Then the two sides agreed to go to the Juye County Ya tomorrow afternoon to handle the relevant documents, and Gu Haotian and the three of them said goodbye and went back.

Early the next morning, Gu Haotian went to visit Yan's house with some gifts, and it happened that Yan Junqing was at home, he immediately came out to greet him after hearing the report, and teased him: "Brother is too anxious, he has only been separated for a few days, so he hurried over." ”

"My brother smiled, but this time I really want to ask you for help." Gu Haotian and Yan Junqing walked inside and talked about Tingtao Tower.

"It's not difficult to handle the paperwork in Juye County, although the Poison Dragon Gang Yan family is not afraid of him, it is always a trouble." Yan Junqing thought for a moment and said.

"I don't know who is behind it now, but there is a plan that should work." Gu Haotian then talked about the strategy he had agreed with Xiao Jiasui.

Yan Junqing also felt that it was feasible when he heard it, so he said that he would go to Juye County together in the afternoon, because there were many things, Gu Haotian sat for a while and then said goodbye. In the afternoon of the same day, the group came to the Juye County Ya, Yan Junqing had acquaintances, and the identity of the Qiu Yu dismissal was also extraordinary, and the relevant documents were quickly completed, and Tingtaolou was transferred to Zhu Fu's name. Gu Haotian did not go but deliberately avoided it, so as not to cause trouble in the future.

That night, a group of tourists unexpectedly found that Tingtao Tower was actually closed. And a man in the crowd who was guarding everyone sneered and said:

"Hehe, sir, look at how long you have been closed."
