Volume 1 One Hand Covers the Sky Chapter 56 Buying and Selling
"Gao Cheng, if you didn't hear the rumors, I would have thought it was strange." Bai Yi chuckled and took out a paper fan and opened it, "Don't you know what happened at the South Gate yesterday?"
"Lord Chen's miscellaneous scores?" Gao Cheng seemed to hear a joke, "Lord Chen, isn't it that the people under your command are disobedient and have to use us loaches to help Zhang Luo on official business?" He rubbed his chin and laughed, "Can't you?"
"I'm a straight-hearted person, straight to the point." Chen Jinqiu waved his hand and smiled bitterly, "To tell you the truth, you guessed right. The people under my hands pick the son, I, now I am alone."
"Don't mind." Gao Cheng pressed the wine honor, "The reputation of Chen Sanye's smiling tiger has spread widely in Chongdu, and all the big dolls have heard of it. Third master, you have to tell me the truth, I'm afraid."
Chen Jinqiu was embarrassed, he looked at Yuan Ji with a stiff smile, and then looked at Bai Yi.
"Gao Cheng, have you become less courageous?" Bai Yi shook a paper fan and looked around, "Is the gambling house business passable, not worrying about food and drink, and not lacking silver?"
"I don't have too much money." Gao Cheng pinched the wine venerable to look at him, and smiled hideously, "I'm afraid of trouble."
"We're not paying money this time." Yuan Ji raised his eyes and looked directly, "Shop, Tian Qi, the nine cities outside Chongdu."
Gao Cheng's eyes shrank suddenly when he heard this, and he immediately opened his mouth and sighed, and fell silent.
Chen Jinqiu looked at him with a smile, the white clothes shook the paper fan calmly, and Yuan Ji stared motionlessly.
"That's a big breath, hehe." Gao Cheng raised his chin towards the three of them with a golden knife on his knee, "I'll listen."
"Dongmen Street, Gaocheng." Bai Yi snapped his paper fan together, "Simon, Raging Bull. North Gate, Hengweng. South Gate, Golden Abacus. The meat of the center of Chongdu is naturally not the turn of the people who run the rivers and lakes to touch their hands and feet, but you can go outside the nine cities, and you will monopolize the gambling house in the land of the four directions."
Yuan Ji followed and said, "The mad bull sells wine, the horizontal man sells the horse, the golden abacus opens the green building, the four plots of land, each has its own ability, and each has nothing to do with it, this is the rule of the road. It's a rule, Gao Cheng, you don't have the ability to overwhelm people."
Yuan Ji said casually, but his voice was very cold, even with a hint of ridicule.
"I know if I'm capable or not. Why do you boast that you can sell me the outer nine cities?" Gao Cheng smiled hideously, and pinched the wine in his hand faintly, "I'm in charge of the East Gate Street of Outer Nine Cities, according to what you mean, you say take it, can you take it?!"
Squeak!
A crisp cracking sound sounded in an instant, and the amber wine venerable suddenly fell apart, scattering and falling apart!
The fragment landed at Yuanji's feet, and he picked it up and weighed it without speaking.
Bai Yi knocked on the table with a paper fan, chuckled and said, "Don't be angry, now that you are a businessman in Chongdu, you have some doorways. Gambling houses, horse farms, wine shops, and green houses, these are all official families, and the official family can do it if they can do it today, and if they say they can't do it one day, don't we have to change our livelihood?"
Gao Cheng lowered his hand in the dim light and said, "I'm listening."
"In the early years, there was chaos in the nine cities outside Chongdu, and it was good to have chaos, people's hearts were scattered, and the officials couldn't control it." Bai Yi pinched the paper fan, "Now that the forces of the outer nine cities and the four directions have been formed, those who run the rivers and lakes have a belonging, if you want to expand your territory, you have to fight with people's lives, it's not worth it." And we have a doorway that does not see blood." z.br>
Gao Cheng was thoughtful, he looked at the white clothes, and said hesitantly, "What do you mean......
The paper fan picked at Chen Jinqiu, who had been sitting quietly on one side.
"The forces of the Outer Nine Cities are now distinct, but in the final analysis, the people who run the rivers and lakes are somewhat tempered." Chen Jinqiu observed his words, "Causing trouble and seeking revenge, drunken fights, murder and robbery, molesting women, these people are harmful. I can't even get enough of it in that prison."
"I'm causing trouble for adults." Gao Cheng said this, but there was no guilt on his face, "My lord continues, and the grass people listen."
"Boss Gao, to be honest, you can't listen to the Tao, and if I want to tell a lie, the big guy will feel like a joke. That's it." Chen Jinqiu patted his knee, "What about me, tell me a reason, you listen."
All three of them didn't talk.
Seeing this, Chen Jinqiu continued: "Yesterday, Boss Gao also saw the humiliating thing at the South Gate. Shame, this prison inside and out
The officials set up music for me, I really didn't expect it. Right now, I'm really embarrassed, I'm the right prisoner of the court, there is a big case on my head, and those little fights underneath, hehe." Chen Jinqiu showed a euphemistic wry smile, "It's really powerless."
Gao Chengdeng's eyes lit up, he was a ruthless character who was messing around on Dongmen Street, and he was used to pondering the meaning of the black words when he heard too much.
And Chen Jinqiu's words clearly meant helplessness, and he was clearly saying that if the officials and soldiers in the prison did not listen to his orders, then he naturally couldn't control it.
Gao Cheng immediately regained his aggressive momentum, grinned and said, "My lord, the grass people are also unhappy for adults. The commotion in the outer nine cities day and night, and the officials and soldiers of this prison still don't know how to raise their heads, doesn't this add chaos to the adults?"
Chen Jinqiu's smile became a little thicker, and he immediately slapped his knee in response: "It's really Boss Gao, who knows me, that's the case." So this time, I have to trouble Boss Gao to arrange some manpower, so that I can show Zhang Luoqi the big thing in front of me to the people below, I, Chen Jinqiu, am also a good official with a solid foundation, right?"
Gao Cheng nodded when he heard this, he understood that the meaning of this was that as long as he sent someone to protect the people Chen Jinqiu wanted to take care of, when the outer nine cities were in trouble, and the officials and soldiers Cao couldn't come up with an idea, Chen Jinqiu still had to come out to preside over the matter.
And when Chen Jinqiu is in control of the people inside and outside the prison, no matter how powerful the Outer Nine Cities are, who will he arrest and kill, it is not a matter of his words?
Besides, Bai Yi said clearly, this is a deal, Chen Jinqiu is giving him a chance to expand his territory. Moreover, he was keenly aware that this seemed to faintly open the door to the center of Chongdu for loaches like him.
After thinking for a while, Gao Cheng immediately stood up and clasped his fists, and said respectfully, "Your Excellency is really a good official who is sympathetic to the people, and the grass people admire it. Don't worry, I will do my best to help you!"
Chen Jinqiu looked at the white clothes, and the white clothes bowed slightly.
This is a sale.
It's clapper!
Gao Cheng personally poured Chen Jinqiu wine and persuaded him to drink a glass, and then Chen Jinqiu said goodbye and wanted to leave, and Bai Yi and Yuan Ji also got up and wanted to go together.
But Gao Cheng suddenly clapped his hands, and the three of them looked at him together.
Gao Cheng grinned, the scar on his face trembled, he turned around and sat back on his high seat, and said, "Third Master, I will arrange the person you want in a while. It's just that this transaction has to be held back by a guarantee. The third master is not strange, the grass people do a small business, so you have to pay more attention."
Chen Jinqiu smiled and bowed his head and said, "This is nature. I just don't know what Boss Gao wants as a guarantee?"
Gao Cheng smiled and pointed behind Chen Jinqiu and said, "Leave someone to be a witness."
Bai Yi was stunned for a moment, and then looked to his side.
The person Gao Cheng refers to is none other than Motoyoshi!
"Gao Cheng, he can't stay." Bai Yi's words were a little cold, "Business is business, and our Chamber of Commerce is in the realm of Chongdu, and we are also the master of face. Do not buy or sell human skins."
"If you say that, I don't dare to take this deal." Gao Cheng smiled at Chen Jinqiu, "Look at Lord Haihan."
"This ......" Chen Jinqiu was embarrassed, he thought about it and wanted to prevaricate the past, "Otherwise, ......"
"I stayed."
Yuan Ji interrupted Chen Jinqiu's words, and looked at him in white clothes, his eyes that usually smiled indifferently were solemn, mixed with a little uneasiness and anxiety.
Yuan Ji looked at him expressionlessly and said, "Don't worry."
Chen Jinqiu looked at Bai Yi for advice, and Bai Yi stared at Yuan Ji for a long time before nodding slowly.
"He's going to have less hair." Bai Yi turned to Gao Cheng, and his voice was as cold as ice and snow, "I have leveled the outer nine cities."
Gao Cheng smiled and did not answer.
Yuan Ji patted him on the shoulder, Bai Yi glared back at him, and immediately took the lead in stepping out.
Chen Jinqiu smiled awkwardly at Yuan Ji, and then followed the curtain and went out, but Yuan Ji stayed in the dim back hall.
Gao Cheng carried the wine jar against the soft collapse, raised his hand to pour the wine room, and the wine overflowed his mouth, but he drank half of the jar without hesitation, and immediately stretched his neck and shouted in the house.
"Out
Come!"
Behind the thick curtain, a thin figure suddenly emerged.
Through the dim purple-red light, Yuan Ji vaguely recognized that this was a young girl.
The long hair was tangled together because it hadn't been washed for too long. He was wearing a ragged rag shirt and his face was stained with dirty dust.
Gao Cheng grabbed a piece of meat from the food bowl on the desk and threw it at the carpet.
The girl pounced like a hungry wolf, picked it up and gnawed at it desperately. The greasy juice trickled down his chin, and the shredded meat stuck to his mouth.
Yuanji took a few steps closer and reached out to wipe the corners of her mouth, but she suddenly raised her head and showed a mouthful of white teeth at Yuanji, and snorted fiercely!
Yuanji stopped, and stopped moving forward.
Gao Cheng bypassed the table, squatted down beside the girl, put his big hand on the girl's hair, and immediately grabbed it and lifted it up!
The girl whimpered in pain, still clutching the flesh tightly in her hands.
Gao Cheng mentioned it again as if it were a show, and said with a sinister smile, "Take a good look."
The girl's eyes were bright, but she didn't dare to struggle at the moment because of pain and fear, and only swallowed with a whimper.
Gao Cheng Huo Di moved forward, and the girl suddenly knelt in front of Yuanji, and then raised her eyes to look at Yuanji blankly.
Motoyoshi looked at the girl and asked, "Who is she?"
"Don't recognize?" Gao Cheng picked up the girl's hair and shook it, "You really don't recognize it?"
Yuan Ji stared at Gao Cheng with cold eyes and shook his head.
Gao Cheng sneered and let go of his hand and said, "You killed her father."
Motoyoshi was still expressionless, and he watched as the girl sat on the ground and continued to nibble on the meat. Gao Cheng, on the other hand, approached Yuan Ji and whispered in his ear, "One of those twenty good hands, the Rapid Rain Sword, Wu Feng."
Hearing this, Yuan Ji looked at the girl, who seemed to notice his gaze, raised her head holding the meat, chewed in her mouth, and looked at it.
Motoyoshi looked down at the girl and said, "You want her to kill me?"
"Nope. Thou art a dead man who is not a deer." Gao Cheng pressed his shoulder and immediately grinned.
"I want you to teach her to be exactly like you."
The curtain in the inner hall of the gambling house was lifted, and Xiao Er walked in with his head bowed and said, "Master, the master of the South Gate Jin Gang has sent a few new and good goods, can you show it to Duan Er?"
