Chapter 10: Killing Two Birds with One Stone
In general, the reward drawn this time can be said to have successfully solved Liu Yu's current predicament.
Out of the space, Liu Yu was in a good mood. "Hmph, Geng Biao, you do the first year of junior high school, and I do the fifteenth', this time there is 'Qiyin Hehuan San', I will see how you die."
Early the next morning, Liu Yu summoned Sun Zhong and asked him to find out when Geng Biao was visiting the Qinglou and who was following.
"Your Highness, that Geng Biao is a master of the nine layers of the day after tomorrow, and the slave is only the two layers of the day after tomorrow. Follow him, he'll find out right away."
"Stupid, you won't buy the people around him? I have to follow it myself, and I don't know how to work around it."
"The slave also thinks about it, the problem is that we don't have much money left now, and the expenses in the house are huge. Not to mention the buyers, it won't take a few days for the expenses in the house to become a problem. ”
Listening to Sun Zhong's tone, he is a dignified son, and the poor are almost unable to open the pot. Liu Yu couldn't help frowning, "What's the matter, what about the money in the house?" ”
Glancing at Liu Yu, Sun Zhong replied helplessly, "Your Highness, since Geng Biao came, he has joined hands with the housekeeper to take the monthly payment of the capital as his own." You don't care about this, Your Highness. It's been three months, and we've been eating our old books every day, and we're running out of money soon. ”
"It's Geng Biao again, forget it, Lao Tzu doesn't get angry with people who are dying" forcibly suppressed his anger, and then Liu Yu asked again, "How much money do we have, take it all out." If you do this, the money will do it."
After listening to Liu Yu's words, although Sun Zhong was very reluctant, he still decided to obey the order, "This, the slave obeys the order"
Night falls, and almost everyone goes home after a busy day. Only in the fireworks and willow alleys of the Qinglou Courtyard, the lights are still bright, and the noise is even more during the day.
Beiyan County is a border city with 300,000 troops. The 300,000 hot-blooded old men are stationed here all the year round, and they don't need to solve the problem. There are 100,000 elite soldiers stationed outside the county town alone, so there are many Jiyuan casinos in this Beiyan County city.
"Are you sure that Geng Biao and his henchmen are drinking flower wine in the 'Yingchun Building'"
"The servant is sure that today His Highness instructed the servant to inquire about where Geng Biao likes to drink flower wine, and the servant spent nearly half of the balance to find out. Sun Zhong continued.
"Okay, that's good"
After receiving Sun Zhong's reliable information, Liu Yucao disguised himself and came to the famous 'Yingchun Tower' in the city alone. The entrance fee is ten taels of silver, which is enough for ordinary people's expenses in March. He didn't recognize the line and took out the silver, Liu Yu's heart was dripping blood, my brother is a poor man now!
"Oh, Childe, it's the first time you've come here" Before he could look around, an old bustard greeted him with a smile on his face.
"Good eyesight, I'm really here for the first time" Liu Yu really admires the old bustard's fiery eyes, and he has never been here, so he knows it at a glance
"Give me a private room, I don't want a girl first, first find me someone who can speak well, and introduce you to Yingchun Building, after all, I am here for the first time" Liu Yu said while throwing out a certain amount of silver.
When the silver arrived, the old bustard smiled even more happily, "No problem, Childe come with me." After speaking, he led Liu Yu upstairs.
Soon after Liu Yu sat down, a lewd little guy came to Liu Yu's private room. This little guy is not afraid of the living, and as soon as he enters the door, he immediately says, "Childe, what can I do for you, just say"
"You can introduce me to this Spring Festival Building."
"Childe, you're asking the right person," the little guy replied with a smile, and then talked about everything about the Spring Celebration Tower.
This little guy is really a talent, Yingchun Tower is said to be rare in the sky, unparalleled underground. This level, this advertisement, tsk!
"Okay, stop", just as the little guy was talking about it, Liu Yu ruthlessly interrupted him. Liu Yu's eyes flashed, and he asked, "Let me ask you, is the commander of the three princes' guards here?"
The little guy looked at Liu Yu suspiciously, and asked with some uncertainty, "Why is Childe asking this?" "I am a merchant in Yan Kingdom, and I came to Beiyan County for the first time to do business, and I am not familiar with the place. I happened to hear that the three princes of the Ming Kingdom were here, so I wanted to take refuge in the three princes" Liu Yu had a flash of inspiration and said in a low voice, "I can't see the three princes, I heard that his escort army is here, so I want to take a line." ”
It turned out that this was the case, and the little guy was also warm-hearted, and then said, "Childe, let me tell you, these three princes are soft eggs." However, Commander Geng is a good way to go."
Even one attribution is said so, which shows how famous he is in Beiyan County. Liu Yu held back his anger and said, "That's the case, which room is Commander Geng in, you tell me, after the matter is completed, I won't treat you badly." ”。
Even a little guy dared to say this about him, which shows the reputation of his third prince. Liu Yu can imagine how bad his reputation is in the army that admires the strong.
The little guy said respectfully to Liu Yu. "Childe, Geng is in the Tianzi room A."
Liu Yu casually gave him a piece of silver, and went out of the room in the little guy's thousand thanks.
Coming to the vicinity of Tianzi Room A, Liu Yu observed slowly, he didn't dare to walk in blatantly.
After waiting for a while, Liu Yu found that a little servant was walking towards this side with wine and food. Liu Yu knew that this was to fill Geng Biao with wine.
Liu Yu ran to the side of the little guy, threw a piece of broken silver, and then patted him on the shoulder, "Brother Tai, your silver has dropped." ”
At the same time as the little guy put down the wine and food to pick up the silver, Liu Yu poured all the 'Qiyin Hehuan San' into the wine jug.
"Thank you, son," the little guy picked up the silver and thanked Liu Yu with a smile. "It's okay, it's okay. Liu Yu also replied happily.
Liu Yu watched as the little servant brought the wine and food into the Tianzi No. A room, and then left immediately. The next thing is not something that Liu Yu can control.
The next day, not long after Liu Yu got up, he heard Sun Zhong's shout.
"Your Highness, great joy! Yesterday, Geng Biao drank flower wine in Yingchun Building, and immediately died of wind."
"What are you shouting, isn't it just a Geng Biao who died. Look at you excited," Liu Yu said to Sun Zhong again, "We are people who do big things, just Geng Biao made you so out of shape, and what big things to talk about." ”
"Yes, the slave is out of shape" Sun Zhong saw Liu Yu's calm and relaxed appearance, and suppressed the excitement in his heart. I secretly thought, "Could it be that this matter has something to do with His Highness"
Liu Yu waved his hand and said, "Let's go, take me to have a look."
Nuo'Sun Zhong replied. then led Liu Yu to the front yard.
Walking to the front yard, Liu Yu saw Geng Biao's body. Next to the corpse, there were two Geng Biao's henchmen, who also died by Ma Feng.
"Commander Geng died in Yingchun Tower, and he wanted to give him an explanation" Liu Yu said sadly, "The guards obeyed the order, gathered, and surrounded Yingchun Tower"
Although the guards were puzzled that Geng Biao had always made things difficult for the three princes, why did the three princes still ask for an explanation for him. However, Liu Yu, as their master, had already given the order, and the guards could only carry it out.
It didn't take long for the chickens and dogs to jump, and the Yingchun Tower was surrounded by Liu Yu's guards. Liu Yugang entered under the layers of guards, and the old bustard of Yingchun Building greeted him. Seeing Liu Yu's face clearly, he pointed at Liu Yu, and was speechless in surprise.
"Bold, what are you, dry finger at His Highness" Before Liu Yu could speak, Sun Zhong had already jumped out and pointed at the old bustard and shouted.
Liu Yu waved his hand "Sun Zhong retreated", and then said to the old bustard, "You are a smart person, if I hear something that I shouldn't hear, be careful of your head." ‘
"By the way, call your master over, I know you can't be the master"
After hearing this, the old bustard nodded again and again, "The little one understands, but the little one doesn't know anything, so let's call the principal."
By the time the principal arrived, Liu Yu had already drunk tea leisurely in it for a while.
The director of the Yingchun Building made a way. This person is also a man who has seen the world. Seeing Liu Yu, he was not afraid at all, "I've seen it, Third Highness"
"Okay, stop talking nonsense. The commander of the guard army under my command actually died in your Yingchun Tower, you see how this should be solved" Liu Yu looked at the principal and said.
"Then how does Your Highness think it should be solved," the principal said with the main object, and kicked the ball back to Liu Yu.
"Commander Geng is loyal to Lone, and he died like this, Lone is sad! This funeral expenses, settling-in expenses, plus Lonely's mental loss expenses, it is not easy to do without 100,000 taels."
The director secretly scolded, "Geng Biao, I will be loyal to you, who are you bluffing!" ”
"Your Highness, Commander Geng died here, and we are responsible. In this way, Yingchun Lou will pay 10,000 taels to compensate Geng's family
"10,000 taels, you call it Huazi, at most I will give you a nine-percent discount, 90,000 taels" Liu Yu plucked his ears and said casually.
"Your Highness, 90,000 taels is too much, we can take out a maximum of 20,000 taels in Yingchun Building," said the director of Yingchun Building.
"20,000 taels is too little, not enough for funeral expenses, so let's do it, 80,000 taels, it can't be less," Liu Yu said.
"Your Highness, we can't take out 80,000 taels from Yingchun Building, at most I will add 5,000 taels, 25,000 taels," the director of Yingchun Building said with a sad face.
"Your Highness is not a businessman. I don't like to bargain, so let's do it fifty thousand taels. If I succeed, I will leave, and if it doesn't work, I will seal your Spring Festival Building. Liu Yu looked impatient.
"Okay, 50,000 taels is 50,000 taels," I'll get you the money. The director of Yingchun Building left in a hurry after speaking.
"You! Who said that the third prince is cowardly and incompetent, and an incompetent person can extort 50,000 taels from Lao Tzu at once. Alas, count me unlucky. can't be provoked, can't hide, can only consider himself unlucky, ruined and avoided. The director of Yingchun Building complained as he walked.
