Chapter 51: Undercurrent (3)

The door opened, the curtain quietly walked in with a cup of hot tea, the warm atmosphere outside did not seem to melt her, there was a trace of worry that could not be concealed under the shallow smile, although she was not yet fifteen years old, but since she was a child, she has been running around at the bottom of the society since she was a child, and she has experienced countless sinister worlds, she knows that now is not the time to laugh, the Hai family is a man-eating tiger, how can she let them go easily.

Curtains sat lightly on the armrests, handed the hot tea to Li Qing, and saw him drinking sweetly, Curtain's heart was filled with tenderness, and he reached out to stroke his hair.

"Childe, what are you thinking?"

Li Qing reached out and grabbed her hand and rubbed it on his face, her hand was slender and warm, and she felt a burst of warmth on her cold face.

"I'm thinking back to the fact that we set up a stall in Yilong, but it's only been three months, but it feels like a long time has passed."

"Yes! I also feel this way, I thought that I would do business in Langzhou for a long time, but I didn't expect to come to Chengdu in three months, and I didn't expect to offend the underworld on the first day. ”

Curtain was suddenly silent, her ideal is to buy a hundred acres of good land and live peacefully with Li Qing, although it is bland, but isn't life like this?

"I'm sorry!"

Li Qing realized the gloom in Lian'er's heart, and there was a trace of apology in his heart, his original intention was not so, he just wanted to use some knowledge of later generations to make more money and become a rich businessman, but in fact, the Tang Dynasty was not as he thought, money could roll in with his eyes closed, and he had to go through hardships and struggle.

The curtain smiled.

"There is nothing to be sorry for between us, I am only worried that Gongzi will be safe when he wins a small victory, forget the danger ahead, the Hai family is powerful, and it is also related to the underworld, how can it be easy to give up, have you forgotten what the shopkeeper of the tea shed said?"

"I know, so I think the most important thing now is to find a very hard backstage, in fact, I have found it, it depends on whether I can seize the opportunity on August 15."

"And what's to come!" Li Qing got up and walked a few steps in the room, frowning and said, "I'm still thinking, what else can we do after the birthday feast?" I always feel that it is too slow to make a profit from just one restaurant. ”

"Naturally, it's slush!" Lian'er suddenly laughed and said, "Didn't the son think about using this birthday feast to beat the reputation of slush out?" ”

Li Qing stood up suddenly, "Slush, birthday feast!" His eyes gradually let out light, and the words of the curtain reminded him that the day of the birthday feast must be full of officials, and then let the slush become a drunken dessert, and then create some gimmicks, the slush will definitely be a hit, Li Qing suddenly had a wonderful plan in his mind, he wants to plan an unprecedented publicity, win with novelty, and let his slush bring him the capital to make a big deal, although it is necessary to take a little risk, but this risk is worth taking.

The noise outside suddenly became louder, the door opened, and Xiao Yu, who was flushed, came in, looked at them and smiled: "I knew that the two of you were hiding here and drinking your own wine, and the people outside were laughing at you!" Hurry up and come out! ”

She suddenly remembered something again, and said hurriedly: "Childe, just now Xiao Er ran to say that someone seemed to be looking for you outside the gate." β€œ

.........................

The courtyard was dark and quiet, and from time to time you could hear laughter coming from inside the house, and the swarthy trees stood out diagonally, looking particularly dark and gloomy in the twilight. There was a person standing at the gate, dressed in black, masked, with two eyes flashing with thoughts, looking very much like an assassin in a costume drama, Li Qing shivered, and the alcohol was gone.

"Who are you? What's the matter with me? Li Qing was a little nervous, just staring at his hand, lest he would suddenly pull out a knife and stab himself.

The man in black seemed to see through Li Qing's thoughts, and arched his hand to him: "Don't worry, Childe, I have no bad intentions, it's just that it's inconvenient to speak here, please believe me." ”

Li Qing suddenly smiled and said, "Please follow me!" "If you really want to kill yourself, you can touch the house at night and stab it, why bother.

Li Qing closed the door, lit the lamp, and pulled a chair for him, "Sit down!" ”

The man looked a little cramped, reached out and took off the face towel, revealing a face like a dry corpse, "My name is Skeleton, the boss of Daorentang, I also had a part in this morning's fight, and then I jumped into the river and escaped with my life." ”

Li Qing suddenly felt interesting.

"Then what are you doing when you don't run for your life but come to me, didn't you kill me this morning, are you still unwilling?"

The skeleton smiled bitterly and said: "Don't tease me, I'm now wanted by the government and cornered, so find Li Dongzhu and see if you can give me fifty taels of silver to make a coil, and I will exchange the information you are interested in." ”

In the first battle this morning, most of the people who died in the underworld were the brothers of Daorentang, Daorentang was almost lost, but the Hai family crossed the river and demolished the bridge, and planted all the charges on his head, and now Chengdu City is full of notices for him who are wanted, and the skeleton hates the Hai family to the bone, so he came to Li Qing overnight, wanting to exchange information for some travel expenses.

Seeing that Li Qing was smiling and silent, he laughed dryly and said, "You just came from outside, you don't know the Hai family, if you think that the Hai family will stop here, then you are very wrong." ”

"How so?"

The skeleton sighed and said: "At the beginning of this year, there was a big businessman surnamed Yang in Banzhou, who was in the grain business, and when he first arrived in Chengdu, he didn't understand the situation, and robbed the Hai family of 8,000 yuan of business, but the Hai family sent people from the underworld to threaten him every day, and when he saw him, he beat him violently once, until the other two big merchants in Chengdu, the Shi family and the Tang family, came forward to mediate, and the businessman surnamed Yang lost 5,000 yuan, and the Hai family promised to give the Shi family and the Tang family a face, and everyone thought that the matter was over, but later someone found his body in the Minjiang River, but the head was goneA few days later, the Hai family let out the wind and said that this matter was not done by them, and everyone suddenly realized. ”

"You mean that the Hai family will deal with me again?"

"Yes! Maybe not in the near future, the government is tight, but the Hai family will never let you go, this is the consistent tradition of his family, to put the enemy to death, leave no trouble, if you want to live the second half of your life safely, there are only two ways. ”

"Tell me, what's the solution?"

"Either you leave Jiannan Road and live incognito elsewhere; Orβ€”" Speaking of this, his eyes showed a fierce light, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Either you will kill the Hai family and leave no chickens and dogs!" ”

Li Qing didn't seem to take his words to heart, and only smiled faintly: "What you said is too serious, what is killed, the chickens and dogs are not left, don't I have a royal law in Datang?" I'm a law-abiding businessman, I don't want to cut and kill all day long, I just want to make a little money in peace, when the matter comes, I look for the government, and I have my own government to deal with the Hai family, what's the use of thinking more. ”

With that, he looked at the skeleton with a smirk, waiting for his next reaction.

Seeing that he didn't seem to care, the skeleton couldn't help but be secretly anxious: "If you don't mention his interest, how can he be willing to pay." ”

After thinking about it, he said: "The Hai family has never encountered trouble with the government, in addition to the hard backstage, there is also a principle pursued by his family, unless it is absolutely necessary, he will never use his own strength, generally with the help of the underworld, so what happens is a problem on the underworld, and it has nothing to do with his family, so I deduce that if the Hai family makes trouble for you again, it will still be with the help of the underworld." ”

Li Qing's interest seemed to be slowly raised, and he smiled and said, "Then you can tell me about the situation of the underworld in Chengdu!" ”

The skeleton was in good spirits, this was the first time he took the initiative to ask, there was a play.

"There were not so many underworlds in Chengdu before, since the change of the history of the thorns, the new history of the thorns does not care about this matter at all, plus Chengdu's business is prosperous, as a result, the number of underworld people has increased sharply every year, and now there are tens of thousands of people, the largest of which are two factions, Emeitang and the Min Gang, Emeitang controls the merchants in the city, and the Min Gang controls the shipping of the Minjiang River, the two seem to have nothing to do with each other, but the Min Gang actually split from Emeitang thirty years ago, the two have a deep grudge, and I don't know how many times I have been fighting, I have participated three times, the most recent one was three years agoMore than 50 people died, and I was also stabbed in the back and almost died. ”

"Then what does the Hai family have to do with the underworld?"

"The Hai family and Emeitang have a deep relationship, it is said that Emeitang was founded by Hailan's grandfather, but the Hai family has done serious business, and it has nothing to do with the underworld, but that is only on the surface, we have a rumor within us that the owner of Emeitang, Donald, is actually just a puppet, and what is really controlled behind the scenes is the people of the Hai family, that is, the three masters of the Hai family."

Li Qing's eyes have narrowed into a slit, he now finally knows some of the details of the Hai family, the foundation of the past hundred years, and the various relationships are intertwined, since it can not fall for a hundred years, the Hai family must have its unusualness, at least there will be vision, and he will not pick up the board axe like a reckless man and cut and kill indiscriminately, if he can catch the line of Zhang Qiu and Qiong, forgive him and dare not deal with himself openly like today, he must use dark means or use competition methods in the shopping mall to squeeze himself, this is interesting, thinking of this, he glanced at the skeleton, Seeing that his waist was straight, and the tension in his eyes was revealed, Li Qing smiled in his heart, this bit of information was not worth fifty taels of silver.

"Just now you said that the third child of the Hai family is in control of Emeitang, so how many brothers does the Hai family have, and how is the division of labor?"

The skeleton now seemed to be a cat tempted by a fish, swallowing saliva, and had to follow Li Qing's train of thought.

"There are only three brothers in the Hai family, Hailan, Haiming, Haiba, among which Hailan and Haiba are brothers, all of them are the same cunning and fierce, but the second Haiming is a concubine, because his mother was born humble, so he has no status at home, usually honest and kind, often bullied, this person loves cockfighting, is a famous cockfighting master in Chengdu, he has to put the other party's chicken to death every time he fights cocks, so everyone calls him 'Brother Han'."

"It's funny, honest and kind, but it seems a little unreasonable to put the other party's chicken to death during cockfighting!"

Li Qing suddenly caught a glimmer of enlightenment, it was still far away and not clear, but he seemed to faintly see a crack in the wall of the Hai family.

"It's better to think of a way to pave the way first!"

smiled and asked: "Do you know if the Hai family has that kind of gentleman, who doesn't do his job all day long, is good at gambling and lustful." ”

This is an old-fashioned method, but although it is old-fashioned, it is very effective, the skeleton sneered when he heard this: "This forest is big, what birds will not have, and the Hai family is no exception, but there is indeed such a person, who has read a few books, he pretends to be a concubine, and looks for a confidant in the **** pile all day long, Lao Tzu plays a bad woman, but he is a treasure, I don't know how much money was deceived by those ****, but he doesn't know how much to repent." ”

This is definitely the most useful information tonight, Li Qing's interest increased, and he leaned forward slightly and asked, "Who is he?" What is your name? ”

The skeleton smiled awkwardly and said, "Then is proprietor Li willing to entangle me?" ”

Li Qing was angry, took out fifty taels of silver from the cabinet, threw it to him, and said, "This is because you said something useful, do you think that if you don't tell me, I won't ask others?" Can't ask in any green building? ”

The skeleton hurriedly took the silver, and there was a look of gratitude in his eyes, with these fifty taels of silver, he could start again if he fled there.

"I will repay the kindness of proprietor Li in the future!"

"Less wordy! Tell me who that person is? ”

"Yes! Be! The skeleton lowered his voice and said: This person is Haiming's eldest son, his name is Haizhongtian, and his favorite place to go is Junguilou.
