After An Pingyuan's reminder, Chen Chao's eyes lit up, and he blurted out: "A man's lifelong pursuit is nothing more than the words 'wealth, power, and martial arts', criminals robbed property, and changed into good clothes, they must go chic, and there are only two places in the town where you can be chic, one is a gambling stall, and the other is a green building." ”

An Pingyuan gave a thumbs up and praised: "Brother Chen's intuition about crime is admired by An. That's right, you think the same as me, so when you went to the ready-to-wear store to investigate, I went to a few gambling stalls, but unfortunately, I didn't get any valuable clues. ”

The reason why An Pingyuan went to the gambling stall first was because the threshold for entering and exiting there was low, and anyone from three religions and nine streams could enter and exit at will, but Qinglou was different, and he would not be entertained if he had no money.

Qinglou in ancient times does not mean that it is a dirty place, many women in it are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, blowing and playing and singing is a must, Oiran is even more difficult to find, the place of the ancient Qinglou, non-rich people can enter and exit at will.

An Pingyuan's bounty is used to "scatter wealth", and now he relies on Chen Chao, a cheap apprentice, to eat, drink and Lazar, and only Chen Chao still has so much money on him, and he has the capital to enter and leave the Qinglou without being kicked out.

Now, there is a lot of evidence that the water bandit Langqing is very likely to be hiding in a green building in this town.

Chen Chao said: "Since we have now deduced that the criminal is in the Qinglou, then Brother An, have you inquired about how many Qinglou are there here?" ”

An Pingyuan raised three fingers and said, "There are three here, one in the center of the town, one at the end of the street, and one in the south of the town." ”

Chen Chao asked: "Which one is built on the waterfront?" ”

An Pingyuan shook his head and said, "There is no water next to the three green buildings. ”

Chen Chao frowned, puzzled: "Then it's strange, the water bandit Langqing has never liked to pick a place with water to live in......"

"Brother Chen, don't worry, listen to me." An Pingyuan continued: "Although the three green buildings are not built on the waterfront, next to the green building at the end of the street is a winery, and there is a river not far from the winery. ”

“……”

Chen Chao was speechless.

Now that the location of the criminal has been clarified, what else is there to say, just do it.

The two planned as usual, and set up a corresponding plan, and Chen Chao came to the door to lure the snake out of the hole.

Because Chen Chao was already wearing modern clothes, he bought a dome that is now popular and wore it on his head, coupled with his genuine and morbid appearance, and a rich and noble model of a returnee son was freshly baked, and he didn't need to spend too much money to dress up.

As soon as Chen Chao, who seemed to stay in the foreign country, entered the Qinglou, he immediately attracted the eyes of green, fat, red and thin.

An older woman greeted her with a smile on her face: "Hello sir, dare to ask if you want to listen to music, drink, or ......"

Only by asking the wishes of the distinguished guests can the Qinglou make corresponding recommendations.

Chen Chao pretended to be an old bird, and said casually: "I heard that Miss Qin here is very smart in ice and snow, and the piano rhyme is particularly unique, I wonder if I will be lucky enough to see it today?" "I also endured the pain and offered two oceans, these are the last two oceans.

But after the older woman received the ocean, she was quite embarrassed and said: "I'm really sorry, sir, I'm afraid you remember wrong, Miss Qin is not in this store, she is the top brand of her peers in the center of the town, but I also have Miss Xue'er here who is not inferior to Miss Qin, and every talent is not under Miss Qin." Sir, please come to the pavilion and sit down for a while, I believe that Miss Xue'er will be willing to meet a foreigner like you, sir. ”

Chen Chao thought about it for a moment, and then said, "In this way, I'll meet this Xue'er girl." ”

Chen Chao was led upstairs by the older woman to sit in a private room for a while, and served water and wine, and the older woman went to find Xue'er to accompany Chen Chao.

After the older woman left, Chen Chao looked at each other by the railing, the sound of silk and bamboo came from downstairs and lingered in his ears, in the sound of silk and bamboo, there were women dancing, many vassal and elegant people, sitting in the lobby to watch the dance, drinking and having fun, so unhappy, and the night of modern drunken gold fans is really not the same.

……

Chen Chao was watching the dance in front, but the older woman came to another private room in the back and knocked on the door.

"Xue'er, hurry up and prepare, there is a gentleman who stayed in the ocean waiting to see you in front, don't neglect others." The older woman pressed for a moment, and then left on her own.

"Miss Cher, what's wrong?" A powerful man walked over and asked.

Xue'er looked at the man with a sad face, and said, "'Mom' asked me to accompany a gentleman who stayed abroad, Seventh Brother, let's talk about it again." ”

Ruan Qi frowned, and after a while, he grabbed Xue'er's shoulders with both hands and said, "Xue'er, from now on, you don't need to look at people's faces, I will help you redeem yourself." ”

"Redeem me?"

Cher couldn't speak for a long time.

At this time, the older woman came to urge again: "Xue'er, what's the matter with you?" Mr. Ren is in a hurry! ”

Before Xue'er could speak, Ruan Qi stepped forward, took out a small bag of silver dollars with body temperature, threw it to the older woman, and said, "Xue'er, I helped her redeem herself, and she is free." ”

"Freedom? Hehe. The older woman weighed the ocean in the pouch and said disdainfully: "Ruan Qi, you want to redeem my top card here with so much money, haven't you woken up yet?" With that, he threw the money bag on the ground.

Ruan Qi's face turned cold, and said: "I talked to you about this price last year, why are you backtracking now, do you want to try if my newly sharpened knife is good enough?" With a word, he pulled out a short blade.

"Seventh brother, no!" Xue'er hurriedly hugged Ruan Qi.

But the older woman was not afraid at all, but said in a weird manner: "Ruan Qi, are you planning to buy and sell by force?" When I negotiated the price with you last year, Xue'er was not the top brand, how could her value at that time be compared with now? ”

"I don't care, it's as much as it's negotiated. I, Ruan Qi, promised Miss Xue'er that I must do it, whoever dares to stand in my way will only be dead! Ruan Qi shouted, staring at the older woman uncompromisingly.

But the older woman sneered disdainfully and said, "Ruan Qi, I'm not a place where you can be presumptuous, if you dare to come nonsense, I guarantee that you won't be able to get out of the gate." ”

Powerful Qinglou has its own good hands to prevent anyone from making trouble.

"You can try it!" Ruan Qi glared at the elderly woman and didn't give an inch, and if he didn't agree with him, he would forcibly rob Xue'er, anyway, the robbery was the old business, and the reason why he didn't want to be rough was his promise to Xue'er.

"Seventh brother, don't be like this, I beg you, 'mother' has raised me for more than ten years, you can't hurt her...... Seventh brother, we can wait for three years, so what's the harm of waiting a little longer? Xue'er cried blood to persuade her, and picked up the money bag on the ground and returned it to its original owner, so that Ruan Qi finally gave up, put away the knife, sat on the side in annoyance, drank alcohol, and watched Xue'er being taken out by the older woman.
