Chapter 39: Striking the West
Gu Muhan said to Guo Xiaoya again:
"I want you to know about the situation of Zhu Jiabi's family, do you know where he lives? "
Guo Xiaoya thought for a moment, and suddenly remembered.
"Yes, yes, yes, at the west end of Zhujia Lane, are we going to his house? "
Gu Muhan slowly said his plan:
The soldiers were divided into two routes, isolating the people and Xue Yingxue to lead Zhu Jiabi from Xue's Mansion to Liujiaqiao Oil Mill, saving the extremely vicious Zhu from detonating explosives here, causing the destruction of Xue's Mansion and the tragedy. The two of us quickly went to the Zhufu compound on West Street, kidnapped his wife and asked for back the 300,000 taels of silver I opened earlier, you are a bandit family, the thief does not go empty, you know better than me, and the godfather and godmother don't like us to go back to see them empty-handed when the time comes. "
Guo Xiaoya looked back and smiled:
"You're so smart. "
The two quickly left the Xue family, quickly came to Hengcheng, walked around for a long time, and finally came to Zhujia Lane.
At this time, the sky was dark, Guo Xiaoya couldn't remember it clearly, and asked a butcher who got up early to sell pork, and the butcher pointed to the mansion in front of him, which was the Zhu family's compound.
Following the butcher's instructions, the two found the front door of the Zhu family's compound, Gu Muhan looked up, the courtyard was deep, there were thugs guarding the gate, and there were mobile gunners patrolling back and forth on the wall.
Guo Xiaoya said to Gu Muhan:
"Look at this posture, they are outnumbered and heavily guarded, if it doesn't work, let's withdraw, if it's too late, when their people find out, they can't leave if they want to. "
Gu Mu laughed coldly: "Since we are here, we can't give up halfway, we must take the opportunity to touch in, find Zhu Jiabi's wife and then tie her up, and force them to hand over the silver." "
Guo Xiaoya asked suspiciously:
"Zhu Jiabi himself is not at home, without his personal promise, the person in charge dares to use his funds casually? "
Gu Muhan said lightly:
"If he dares to refuse or play tricks, we'll take off his head on the spot. "
Now that the sky is getting brighter, the two stayed for a while, remembering this compound, there are two big golden characters on the lintel:
Zhu Mansion!
Withdraw first, find a place to rest, and the strong men will go out on the expedition and have a full meal for war.
The two returned to East Street, and there were a variety of restaurants on the street, one by one, which one should they eat in?
Later, I saw a restaurant with the name of "You can also restaurant".
Gu Muhan said, I ate in this restaurant.
The streets began to be lively, and people began to enter the store for breakfast.
The living room on the ground floor was overcrowded, and they couldn't find a seat, so the two of them came upstairs with the shopkeeper and sat down in a seat.
Gu Muhan called Guo Xiaoya, although it was the most expensive.
Guo Xiaoya first asked for a pot of osmanthus wine, a plate of peanuts, a plate of tofu and a plate of scrambled eggs, plus a plate of side dishes, a total of four dishes.
Gu Muhan smiled:
"Can you drink early in the morning? The dishes are vegetarian? "
Guo Xiaoya didn't say a word, picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and could see that this girl was a little hungry.
The two drank wine, Gu Muhan was thinking in his heart about how to do things properly, since he said the big words to Guo Xiaoya, he couldn't be dishonest, he had to stick a knife in his friend's ribs, and he couldn't be a turtle with a shrunken head when he encountered hard stubble.
The two were eating, and the shopkeeper suddenly shouted:
"White chopped chicken, come on stage, the two of you eat it while it's hot, this is a Cantonese dish, it tastes great. "
The guy brought a white chopped chicken with silver silk and white tenderness, and went up to the table of Gu Muhan and Guo Xiaoyahe.
Gu Muhan was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had made a mistake, we didn't order this dish, and we won't have the money to settle the bill later.
Before he came to his senses, another "stewed turtle" was served, and after a while, the "pike crab" was served again.
Daquan sheep is on the table, the goldfin fish is on the table, the braised wild cat is on the table, Gu Muhan's chopsticks are motionless, beckoning the guy to come over and ask:"
Are you mistaken? We didn't order any of these dishes. "
The guy said with a pleasant face: "Although the two of you eat, the dishes are not yet ready, so I guarantee that the two of you eat comfortably and are satisfied." "
Guo Xiaoya didn't move the chopsticks, thinking that such a table of dishes would not be able to settle the account without thirty or fifty taels of silver, and the chopsticks would have to settle the account if they moved, they were not without money, but they came out in a hurry, and they didn't bring enough money, staring at Gu Muhan.
Gu Muhan said to his fellow:
"You have to be clear, have I ordered this dish? You are pushing the table one by one, and who will give the money later? "
The guy told him in all seriousness:
"Uncle, you really haven't ordered these dishes, but someone paid for it, and they invited you to eat, we don't dare to slack off! "
Gu Muhan wondered, who would invite us to eat? We don't have any other acquaintances here, so who would invite us to dinner for no reason? "
Guy Says:
"The master who invited you to eat this meal has explained it clearly, and he will not be able to tell you who invited you until you have finished eating, and they are waiting in the Yabin room on the third floor. "
Gu Muhan can't rest assured:
"Who the hell is it? I'll go see it now, and you show me the way. "
He put down his chopsticks and didn't eat, the guy had no choice but to lead them upstairs, and Guo Xiaoya followed.
When I arrived at the private room, the guy pointed to the "Furong Residence", and the guests were eating.
Another shopkeeper lifted the curtain and was taken aback:
Oh my god! Feng Jianbin, the third protector of Peach Blossom Mountain, Feng Jianzhou, the fourth protector, Zhou Zhiqiang, the fifth protector, Ma Yukun, the sixth protector, Zhang Dahu, the seventh protector, and Chen Weihao, the eighth protector, are now boasting there, drinking and eating meat with teeth and claws.
Gu Muhan took a closer look: I saw nearly 20 people sitting on the big round table of this "Furong House", the table was full of delicacies from the mountains and seas, the taste of the dishes was strong, the aroma of wine was fragrant, and the heat was blowing on the face.
These people are loud and loud without scruples, dressed in different ways, and it is clear at a glance that this is a group of bandits.
In the middle of the leader, there was a big man, wearing a purple gown, his hair combed and shiny, with a square head and big ears, and a majestic style.
Sitting next to him were young and strong young men, black and white, ugly and handsome.
On a chair near the door sat a tall and strong man, who looked a little familiar on his back, but Gu Muhan was not sure who this person was.
Dahan probably heard a sound behind him, turned his head to look, and shouted:
"Brother, are you here? "
Gu Muhan hesitated for a moment: shouted: "Big brother! "
"I didn't expect us to meet again so soon, hahahaha, look who's coming. "
Gu Muhan was shocked, and he was very happy in his heart, he never expected to meet him here.
The man in purple, who had combed his hair shiny, turned his head.
Gu Muhan and Guo Xiaoya exclaimed in surprise at the same time:
"Godfather. "
"Daddy. "
It turned out to be the big boss Guo Sihai, and he also came to Hengcheng.
Guo Sihai laughed.
Yan Qingyun asked the shop guy to add two stools and two pairs of chopsticks to let them sit down to eat, Gu Muhan hurriedly excused himself:
"No, no, no, let's go downstairs and eat, there are still important things to do after eating. "
Gu Muhan pulled Yan Qingyun to the door again and asked, "Did you order the dishes on our table?" "
Yan Qingyun grinned:
"Yes, I just went to the toilet and saw you two eating there, what kind of dish did you order? Isn't it reimbursement at public expense? Why are you so slammed? I'll just ask the store to order a few dishes for you."
Gu Muhan asked again:
"Then what are you doing in Hengcheng? "
Yan Qingyun burst into a hearty laugh again:
"If you make a deal, how can you come in person if you don't have a big boss! "
Gu Muhan really admires these bold and reckless people, they don't take the royal law of the Ming Dynasty seriously, they come and go as they want, just like shopping on the street.
Yan Qingyun saw Gu Muhan's face showing embarrassment, so he asked:
"How's it going? "
Gu Muhan said mysteriously:
"Results will come soon. "
Yan Qingyun didn't say anything when he saw him, nor did he urge him.
"Keep it a secret from me, well, since you refuse to stay, I won't embarrass you. "
Gu Muhan said: "Say a word for us in front of the big boss, forgive us for the sin of saying goodbye." "
Yan Qingyun said "um":
"Okay, I'll explain it to you, big boss, and you should be careful. "
Gu Muhan and Guo Xiaoya went downstairs by themselves.
Gu Muhan was full of suspicions, and even the famous Guo Sihai Haiye personally went out, it seems that Taohuashan is going to make a big sale this time.
He thought again: In these years, thieves are so righteous and carried away, and they are not afraid of being caught by the government, the killing of the head is light, thousands of knives, skinning and cramping, and everything is enough to bear the five horses and corpses, but they are not afraid at all.
Hai Ye really stepped on the plate to sell and buy in Hengcheng this time, Gu Muhan was naturally inconvenient to ask, Yan Qingyun kept sending him downstairs.
Gu Muhan and Guo Xiaoya returned to their tables and hurried to eat, anyway, someone had already paid for the money, and the two wiped their mouths and walked out of the restaurant.
After being full of wine and food, Gu Muhan and Guo Xiaoya came to the west of Zhujia Lane again, turned a corner, and saw that the mansion on the left was the Zhu family compound.
When they came to the gate of Zhu's mansion, the door was closed when they first came just now, but this time, the gate was open.
Gu Muhan recognized a person at a glance, it was the guy who played for the tiger last time when he gambled money with Zhu Jiabi in the Baoledi box of Yunwu Villa.
At the beginning of the game, he stood behind Zhu Jiabi, took out a suitcase, opened the lid of the box, and revealed a whole box of shining silver inside.
It turned out that this guy was playing cards outside all night last night, and he had just returned at this time, probably a little sleepy, so he yawned while climbing the steps.
Gu Muhan gritted his teeth, flew forward, and shouted as he walked:
"Please wait a minute, I have something to look for you. "
He moved extremely fast, approached him in three steps and two steps, and stopped him.
In the distance, the gunners and family members who were guarding the home and guarding the yard did not know what was going on here, and they did not dare to leave their posts without receiving instructions.
At that moment, this person looked back, and it turned out to be the kid who lost 30,000 taels of silver to Zhu Ye in Cloud Mountain Villa last time.
He said: "You want to play cards to find Master Zhu, I can't accompany you." "
Gu Muhan smiled and shook his head:
"I have an important matter to ask you to lead the way, say, where does Boss Zhu's wife live? If you're not honest, I'll kill you right away. "
