The meeting for the selection of people ended in a way that no one expected, and the Du family, who had always been high-spirited, lowered their heads like frosted eggplants when they walked out of the City Lord's Mansion this time.

Like the Du family, there is also the Shi family, although there is one more place than the Du family, but Shi Lei may no longer have a face.

On the way back to Shifu, Shi Lei's eyes were dull and silent, and he kept staring at the yellowed clothes on his lower body.

Gradually, his expression became hideous, and he lowered his head and roared viciously

"Qin Lan, I want you to die!"

On the other hand, Du Gang, who had left the City Lord's Mansion, stared at Li Hanyang's back with a cold look in his eyes, and said to the cuckoo next to him: "Are you ready?" ”

The cuckoo said in a low voice: "I have already gone over there, and I will tie up the Li family's cook tonight!" ”

"Good"

Du Gang sneered, and said in his heart: Li Han, you don't need to be arrogant in the hall today, after tonight, I will see how you can still laugh.

And you, Huang Litian, have left my Du family, I see what you rely on to feed the people of this Tianji City!

Du Gang took one last look at the City Lord's Mansion, snorted coldly, and went back to the mansion.

Above the lobby, Qin Lan pondered for a moment and said to Huang Litian: "City Lord Huang, I have something to ask you."

Huang Litian glanced at Qin Lan in surprise and replied, "Gongzi Qin has done me such a big favor today, do we still need to be polite?" But it doesn't hurt to say."

Qin Lan Zhengse said: "In the past two days, the Li family's business has expanded rapidly, and the Du family must be unwilling to be suppressed, and they want to take the opportunity to fight back, especially after today's meeting, I am afraid that it is easy to jump off the wall in a hurry, and unscrupulous means!" ”

When Huang Litian heard this, his face condensed slightly, and he asked out loud: "What are the plans of Qin Gongzi, there is no need to detour around the corner, and I will fully cooperate with Huang who can do it."

"That's good"

After hearing this, Qin Lan's eyebrows stretched slightly, and said:

"If it weren't for Shi Lei inadvertently reminding me today, I might not have cared about this matter, I suggest sending someone to protect the chef of the Li Family Restaurant now."

Huang Litian slapped his thigh violently, and said in a deep voice: "Yes, why didn't I expect that the new dishes of the Li family recently were all researched by that big mouth, if the Du family is really tied up, then it will give Du Gang another chance to balance me!" ”

Saying that, Huang Litian immediately got up and instructed the guards beside him: "Immediately send a team of men and horses to protect the safety of the Li family's chef Dazui, if you find that someone has bad intentions, you don't need to report it, you can kill them on the spot!" ”

"Yes"

The guard answered, turned and trotted away.

If Shi Lei knew at this time that he had reminded Qin Lan of his unintentional words and ruined the good things of the Du family, I don't know if he would give himself two more big-eared thunderbolts.

Huang Litian thought about it again while holding the tea, and said to Qin Lan: "You say, if you really catch the handle of the Du family, do you want to cut off their last place directly?" ”

Don't underestimate this one place, in the past two years, due to the fear of the commercial strength of the Du family and the Shi family, the number of places that can be allocated to Huang Litian in his own hands is pitiful, and an extra quota means that the cultivators who came to Tianji City from other places have more to do, and the overall benefits of Tianji City can be said to be more than a little

Although Huang Litian is not very noble, at least he is always concerned about the development of Tianji City.

Qin Lan thought for a moment, and muttered: "I think it's better not to do this yet, the dog is in a hurry and jumps off the wall, and beating the Du family to death with a stick is easy to cause them to fight back, and it is not good for Tianji City in this period."

"Besides, according to the current situation, the Li family has shown enough potential, as long as the Li family is stabilized or even co-opted, at most, the Du family's business will disappear from Tianji City in one year, and the Shi family will be difficult to support alone, and the strength will be reshuffled, and it is not up to the Yellow City Lord to decide how to allocate the quota."

Huang Litian listened to Qin Lan's words, his face changed from approval to shock, and he couldn't help but admire Qin Lan's thoughtfulness in his heart.

Putting away the shock on his face, Huang Litian sorted out his emotions and said, "Okay, just do as you say."

The night was like ink, splashing over Tianji City

The crescent moon hangs like a hook above the sky

As the saying goes, the moon is dark and the wind is high

Gao Qiu, the captain of the leading troops, and the men and horses sent by the Du family all thought so, so they met at the door of Dazui's house.

Du Di really wanted to kidnap Big Mouth, but the head of the house gave him a death order this time, and he didn't have to go back if he didn't bring Big Mouth back.

But before I could start, I met Captain Gao Qiu, who was trying to find a stall to drink, and suddenly received an order to leave the team.

Captain Gao Qiu is very unhappy, life is short, he has been in the city garrison for more than ten years and has not made a name, every time he wants to be promoted, he is inexplicably topped down, saying that it is to talk about seniority, Gao Qiu's qualifications are still shallow, and he still needs to hone and hone again.

So he boiled and boiled, his qualifications didn't get much deeper, and his hair was lost first.

Then, finding a street stall to drink a little wine after work every day became the only pleasure in Gao Qiu's life.

After receiving the order, Gao Qiu only thought about one thing, that is, to catch the culprit who made him work overtime, and then beat him first, and then loot it from the gangster, ah no, it is to collect some fines, and then find a place to drink some wine to compensate himself.

Seeing that something was wrong, Du Di secretly scolded that his idea was too small, and he was bumped into first, but he was also clever, and hurriedly held a flattering smile on his face, and leaned towards Gao Qiu

"Official, it's not too late, I'm still busy, it's hard enough."

Gao Qiu was expressionless, looking at Du Di, the meaning in his eyes was obvious

I'll just watch you wander around here

Who has nothing to do in the big night, he takes people to run to the door of people's homes and hang around, he is not a fool with high demands

Gao Qiu waved his hand behind him, and the defenders behind him suddenly surrounded him, Du Di saw that something was wrong with the situation, and said with a smile: "Official, what are you doing, I just took a few relatives from my family out for a stroll"

Seeing that Gao Qiu's expression remained unchanged, Du Di gritted his teeth, took out a bag of copper coins from his waist, and said with a smile: "A little heart, not a respect, for the official to drink some wine, happy and happy." ”

Gao Qiu weighed the money bag in his hand, the weight was very satisfying to him, and there was an inadvertent hint of appreciation in his gaze when he looked at Dudy

Yes, this kid is very good

But that's not enough, if something really happens, I can't deal with it.

Seeing that Gao Qiu put away the money bag but did not leave, Du Di suddenly understood in his heart, lamented that it could not be done tonight, and immediately beckoned the people of the Du family to go back to their respective homes.

Before leaving, Du Di handed Gao Qiu a look that I had never been here tonight, Gao Qiu nodded slightly, and watched Du Di withdraw before turning around to close the team

You know, it's called an attempted crime

The next night, it was another dark and windy night

Du Di led a few people and sneakily walked towards the door of the big mouth, and suddenly a begging voice came from the darkness

"What are you doing here?"

Dudy's expression froze, his grandmother's, what kind of idea is this, can this be blocked by the same person?

This time, there are fewer people who ask to bring it, just a few, after all, there are more people and less money afterwards, which is not cost-effective

That's right, Gao Qiu's sixth sense has been telling him today that he can still block people here, and he doesn't know why he believes it, but it really turns out

Isn't this pocket money coming?

It's just that what Gao Qiu didn't expect was that it was still yesterday's wronged species

Du Di touched his waist, empty, yesterday's mission was unsuccessful, Du Gang really didn't let him enter the house, he didn't even replenish his money bag, what can he do to save himself from disaster?

After hesitating for a moment, Du Gang slowly squatted down, took out a few silver tickets from his boots, put them on Gao Qiu's hand with a painful face, and said, "Official, it's all here, please be merciful to your subordinates!" ”

Gao Qiu made an OK gesture in his hand, and then closed the team and prepared to leave, Du Di's face was very bad, he lowered his head and was silent, his heart was dripping blood, and he just wanted to cry at the moment.

That's the private money he has saved over the years with his mother-in-law......

Another night passed, and everything was fine

On the evening of the third day

There was no moon tonight, and the light wind blowing from the street was blowing on Dudy, and it felt a little cool

He was now ragged and in tatters, and his cheeks were sunk down the middle

There is no way, the task is not completed, Dudi still can't get into the house, and if he doesn't go back, the child will almost forget what he looks like, Dudy held his breath, and he came to the door of the big mouth again.

His face was a little complicated, looking at the familiar road, the familiar gate, and the familiar people at the door.

What is this? Three visits to the thatched house?

When Gao Qiu saw Du Di coming, he suddenly came to his senses, and he became richer in the past two days, and his whole mental state was much better

Gao Qiu didn't come here on purpose this time, but he drank too much and swayed, and he didn't know how to drop, so he shook here.

Seeing the despair on Du Di's face, Gao Qiu sighed and said, "Are we going to do things directly or go through the procedures again?" ”

Du Di laughed miserably and said, "You better take me away directly, I won't tie this person up."

Gao Qiu shook his head helplessly, maybe this is fate, reached out and tied Du Di's hands and took him to the official mansion

Du Di suddenly felt a sour nose, thinking that he had been sleeping in the open for the past two days, and he couldn't go home anyway, maybe it wasn't a bad thing to be caught.

The Du family's plan to kidnap Big Mouth ran away like this

These three nights have been very exciting, but they have nothing to do with Qin Lan

Although Huang Litian sent someone to protect Dazui, Qin Lan still couldn't rest assured, and just wrote the second half of the garden travel to Dazui, in order to teach Dazui what was written on the recipe in the past two days, Qin Lan simply lived in Dazui's house.

During this period, Li Han also came to Dazui's house, he didn't realize what danger Dazui would have, but the boss came to see the employees every day, but he didn't expect to meet Qin Lan, and after listening to Qin Lan explain the reason, he knew that he had escaped a big ma's trouble, and thanked him repeatedly, and the respect in his heart was even greater

It wasn't until he heard that Gao Qiu had caught the people of the Du family that Qin Lan breathed a sigh of relief, said goodbye to Dazui and returned to the City Lord's Mansion, calculating the time, the competition for the number of candidates for the Tianji Monument facing the whole city was about to begin

Du Di should be glad that he didn't go into the big mouth's house, otherwise it wouldn't be as simple as going to prison.
