Chapter 45: Go to the Drunken Red Courtyard Again
Xiao Yao watched the two sisters and brothers turn from worry to joy, and breathed a sigh of relief. "I'll send you to the Shen Mansion first, and then live obediently, and I'll take care of the rest, don't make trouble for me again." Xiaoyao's words were weak, but Zhao An nodded vigorously and agreed.
sent the two to the Shen Mansion, but they didn't see Shen Muqing, a chick. The Shen family already had people waiting here, and they arranged a place for a few people to live. After finishing the order, Xiao Yao told Wei Wu a few words, so that he could take care of the young master, and then he and the eldest lady said goodbye and left, ready to find out some information.
Leaving the Shen family, Xiao Yao went straight to the Drunken Red Courtyard, if you want to inquire about intelligence news, it must be a place like the Qinglou Casino, which is mixed, and the three religions and nine streams are constantly coming and going. Xiao Yao is quite familiar in the drunken red courtyard, and it is more convenient to make a sound.
It was still a long way from the gate of the drunken red courtyard, and was seen by Feng's mother who happened to be at the door, "Yo, isn't this Brother Xiao, why haven't you come to us for so long, the sisters inside are thinking about you to death." He stepped forward and grabbed Xiao Yao's arm and walked inside, quipping as he walked.
"Hehe, I also want my sister to think about it, isn't this coming?" Xiao Yao also saw people talking to people, and when he met ghosts, he talked about ghosts, and followed Feng's mother inside.
Entering the inner courtyard, Xiao Yao sent Feng's mother away, found a corner to sit down, ordered a pot of high-quality Biluochun, and served melon seeds and peanuts and tea to the hall. Xiao Yao looked around, looking for a suitable target.
After looking for a long time, I didn't find a suitable person, looking at the people around, most of them are serious businessmen, rich sons and the like, today is really strange, the people of the three religions and nine streams are stunned that they haven't seen one, the evil door.
While pondering, I happened to see Xiao Gaozi walking by, and it was you! Xiao Yao grabbed Xiao Gaozi and pressed him to the bench next to him. Directly threw a few taels of silver to him, and he nodded his head and waited for Xiao Yao's instructions.
"Tell me about the distribution of local forces, in detail." Xiao Yao got straight to the point, and naturally knew that Xiao Gaozi understood what he meant.
Gao Quanwei listened to Xiao Yao's words, his whole body tightened, and he looked around a few times, "Big brother, why are you asking this?" Could it be that you have any ideas? It's not been peaceful lately, so I advise you to inquire less! Brothers are all from the bottom of their hearts"
Xiao Yao listened, but his heart blossomed, he didn't expect him to know much of the inside story, it seems that he knows a lot. Under Xiao Yao's repeated temptations, he finally came up with a lot of useful information.
This county is one of the largest counties in Hubei Province, and there are three major gangs in the local forces, which are divided into court protests, namely: the Blood Demon Gang, Jiangwutang and Luoyingmen. According to Xiao Gaozi's words, the three gangs are the strongest in Luoyingmen, followed by Wutang, and the Blood Demon Gang is last. However, compared to other small gangs and factions, it is naturally different from cloud and mud, and there is no comparison.
What surprised Xiao Yao even more was that Luoyingmen turned out to be a female leader, and there were even three powerful female generals under the door who swore to follow to the death and fight for Luoyingmen. And last night, Xiao Yao killed the two men in black, who were the members of the Blood Demon Gang.
Since yesterday, the three gangs have begun to quickly gather their forces, as if something big has happened, and the underground forces here have begun to turmoil. Xiao Yao also got these news from Xiao Gaozi, but it is unknown why the three gangs are like this. However, this visit has finally gained something. After finishing the matter, he gave Xiao Gaozi some broken silver, and he naturally knew what to say and what not to say.
If he was someone else, it would be impossible for Xiao Yao to be so generous, Xiao Yao had his own calculations in his heart. The last time he came here, he saw that Xiao Gaozi could be cultivated, and if he could pull it into his hands and train and guide him, he would definitely be able to become his right-hand man in the future. Therefore, we will first bring the relationship closer to seek the future, and I will not mention it here for the time being.
Xiao Yao got the news, it was useless to stay here, and before leaving, he joked with Xiao Gaozi, "Why didn't you see Miss Ling'er today?" I haven't seen her for a few days, I miss her, hehe. β
Gao Quanwei listened to Xiao Yao's joke, his heart was like a pinprick, but he pretended to be casual and respectfully returned: "Miss Ling'er asked her mother for leave a few days ago, so I think I went to visit my relatives." Although the tone was respectful, Xiao Yao could hear a trace of loss from it. Hehe, I really didn't see it, Meng Ling'er's charm is not small, this kid is fascinated by her.
said goodbye to Gao Quanwei and left, walked out of the drunken red courtyard, looked at a few dark clouds in the sky, and put it on the other side of the clouds to hide unknown secrets waiting for Xiao Yao to unravel. It seems that if you want to understand the inside story, you have to think long-term and then find a way.
Not long after Xiao Yao left, in a restaurant opposite the drunken red courtyard, there was a beautiful boy sitting by the window, listening to the report of the man in green shirt standing beside him, while listening, and from time to time he scanned Xiao Yao, who was about to disappear into the crowd.
"Do you know what he did when he entered the Drunken Red Courtyard?" The son's tone was flat, but his words were full of majesty, which was naturally formed by staying in the top position for a long time, not a temperament that could be possessed in a short time.
The man in the green shirt listened to the words of the son, a layer of cold sweat oozed from his forehead, and he lowered his head in shame, "The little one is afraid of startling the grass and the snake, so he doesn't dare to follow too closely, the situation inside is unknown, and he asks the master to punish him." β
I didn't see how Childe had a seizure, but he just stared at the teacup in his hand and laughed twice. Others didn't know, but the laughter fell to the ears of the man in green shirts like a soul-hooking sound from hell, and he couldn't have known the meaning of this laughter for many years under the master's hands. Hurriedly knelt down on one knee and clasped his fists with both hands, "I beg Gongzi to give Xiaozi another chance, I will not dare to live up to Gongzi's trust again, and if I lose again, I am willing to cut myself." After speaking, he waited nervously for his master to speak.
Childe drank all the tea in the cup, "Get up, I don't raise waste under my hands, only this once, you can understand my words." After speaking, he turned around and left the room, leaving only the man in green shirt sitting on the ground panting, wiping the sweat beads from his face with his sleeve, and he still had palpitations at this time.
After the man in the green shirt tidied up, he walked out of the restaurant, and the brother who had been waiting for a long time stepped forward to answer, waiting for the green man to order. "Sue the sΓΉ brothers, all give Lao Tzu a twelve-point spirit to get things done, if you mess up again, come and see you!" After saying that, he ordered his subordinates a few more words, and then they scattered, and the two chased in the direction of Xiao Yao.
Xiao Yao had already inquired about Xiao Gaozi before going out, and at this time he was walking towards the largest casino in the room, trying his luck to see if he could get some useful news. The casino is more chaotic than the Qinglou, and it is this "chaos" that Xiao Yao wants, and the more chaotic it is, the more beneficial it is for him to get news. Casinos can only operate if they are covered by underground forces.
In a deep alley in the south of the city, Xiao Yao followed Xiao Gaozi's instructions, walked inside, stood in front of a door, knocked on the copper ring on the door with his hand, three long, two short, knocked, and waited for someone to open the door.
After a while, a big man in a coarse linen shirt opened the door and let Xiao Yao enter. Come inside and go down the stairs. Before I went down to the bottom, I already heard the noisy shouting, betting, betting, and coaxing sounds.
