Chapter 014: Eight Immortals Feast on the Floor
In Wolf's Tooth Town, brothels, gambling houses, dart boards, ranches, artisan shops, and a border trading market are actually opened by him.
Of course, it does not include his smuggling with foreign tribes, Turks, and Xianbei people.
The lame master was originally Yan Sen's brother, and when he was disabled on the battlefield, he let him manage casinos, brothels and other entertainment venues.
Today, Yan Sen was accompanied by the lame master in his newly opened Eight Immortals Building, entertaining a distinguished guest from Mayi County.
"Lord Gongcao, a rare guest!" Yan Sen got up and filled the young man in his twenties opposite with a full drink, and said with a sneer:
"This is the best Jiangnan fruit brew, it's not an ordinary old pot, or it's in Mayi County, it's also difficult to drink, if it weren't for entertaining distinguished guests, I wouldn't let the store take it out!"
This Master Gongcao, whose real name is Han Mingda, is the youngest son of Zheng Han San in Shiyao Village, more than 20 miles away.
He is currently the lieutenant of Mayi County, responsible for the security of the entire Mayi County.
It is impossible for this identity to be Yan Sen's guest, in fact, he also has a military position, and he is the catcher in General Ma Yi's mansion.
Mayi is a border city, which is at the county level in civil affairs, but has a high military level in the border area.
General Ma Yi is a sixth-rank rank, and his jurisdiction is not only the county, but also many military towns, castles, horse ranches, etc., such as Yan Sen's Langya Town, which belongs to him.
And the catcher Gong Cao is the head of the general's office in charge of military intelligence, and during the non-war period, he also served as a county lieutenant and was responsible for public security.
But once the border pass was on fire, he was the military attache of the eighth rank, responsible for military intelligence collection and capture of the enemy.
He is the confidant of the new Mayi general Guo Rui.
Yan Sen is in Wolftooth Town, and those shady deeds have long been spread to Guo Rui's ears.
This time, Han Mingda was secretly investigating in the name of visiting relatives.
Yan Sen is the confidant of the former General Ma Yi, and the interests of the two sides are in common, so there is no need to befriend such lackeys.
But that's not what it used to be!
Han Mingda looked at the wine in the glass, shook it, and said with a little sarcasm:
"Brother Yan, who doesn't know that the entire Wolf Tooth Town belongs to the King of Hades, and the border trade business is making a lot of noise, and you are making a lot of money, this south and north, you want to drink authentic Jiangnan fruit brew, can these traders still send you?"
Yan Sen smiled awkwardly and picked up the cup, "Isn't this relying on Lord Gongcao's care and General Guo's cultivation!" ”
Han Mingda laughed, "What can I take care of you, it's just that it's just for General Guo." ”
"That's that, that's." Yan Sen sneered.
The lame man on the side also followed suit.
A few people tasted a cup of Jiangnan fruit brew and ate a few bites of food, Yan Sen chatted without words:
"Lord Gong Cao, I heard that General Guo was dismounted as soon as he arrived, and the military salary allocated by the imperial court was intercepted by the horse bandits, but is there such a thing?"
Han Mingda grinned coldly and said:
"It's a public thing, what is there to say? It's all the good things they did in Eagle Beak Mountain, these bastards, one day they have to settle accounts with them. ”
"Yes, these horse thieves are too fierce, and they have robbed my merchant's horse team several times, and they can't prevent it, hey... If General Guo wants to suppress the bandits this time and send troops and money, count me as a member of Yan Sen! ”
He's currying favor here.
Han Mingda glanced at him, smiled and said in a deep voice:
"Brother Yan, you still take care of your own affairs, report your letters to the General's Mansion, but there are a lot, smuggling horses, iron and salt, and weapons, which are all strictly forbidden by the imperial court, and it is a big crime to kill your head."
Yan Sen's body stiffened, and he stood up and said solemnly:
"Master Gong Cao, I don't know which boys are slandering their duties, I have a heavy town here, more than 600 people's food and clothing, military salaries and equipment, etc., which doesn't need me Yan to worry about it, use my brain? Open a gambling house and engage in a small border trade, this is also no way, if the imperial court can issue military salaries and military supplies on time, why should I Yan come here. ”
Yan Sen has sung this kind of bitter drama many times, and he is very skillful, he just grasped the shortcomings of the imperial court's inability to distribute military salaries and materials, and tried his best to pick it out.
Han Mingda was unmoved, he took a sip of fruit wine and said to Yan Sen:
"Brother Yan, we are our own people, and we are all understanding people, don't nag in front of me in the future, I might as well open the window and say bright words, your rotten things, I have conclusive evidence there, if there is any leakage, you connect to me, both of us have to move our heads, you must know the power of this."
"I understand, I understand!" Yan Sen nodded repeatedly.
But in his heart he was secretly scolding:
Mother, you are a dog fighting people!
However, scolding and scolding, things on the scene still have to be done beautifully.
Yan Sen glanced at the cripple, and the lame master understood, and immediately took out two gold ingots from the cloth bag next to him and handed them to Han Mingda, "Lord Han, this is one hundred taels of gold, please accept it." ”
"You want to bribe this official?!" Han Mingda's face sank, and he said sharply.
"Hey, how dare I be a cripple, this is the chip for you in the afternoon, please go to my gambling house to play two, go to the emerald courtyard to have fun, I can't let you pay for it." The lame man said earnestly with a smile on his face.
"It's pretty much the same, then I'll take it first, and I'll be happy later." As he spoke, he put fifty taels of gold into the cloth bag he was carrying, turned around and picked up the wine glass, and shouted, "Come, let's continue drinking." ”
"it!"
……
When Ling Hupo came to the gambling house in Langya Town, it was already close to noon.
It is not far from Shiyao Village to Langya Town, and it is only more than 20 miles away, mainly because he was surrounded by a group of villagers at the gate of the village.
Some of the girls were still tugging at his wolf robe, touching and kissing each other, which was very difficult.
He managed to get out of it, and went to the blacksmith shop in town, where he ordered fifty good arrows.
The arrows at home are all on the wolf, which needs to be ordered in time.
"Hey, our wolf-fighting hero is here, rare guest, I haven't seen you for a few days, the girl in our emerald red courtyard wants to kill you!"
A woman less than thirty years old, with a face full of pink makeup and a bewitching dress, leaned towards Linghupo with a loud voice.
She is the old bustard red lady in the emerald red courtyard next door, and she is also the lame master's concubine.
The smell of cheap rouge powder made Hu Po frown, "I'm here to find the lame master and settle the previous account." ”
"Ouch, what's the matter, Linghu Dalang's name is now a well-known golden signboard, two pieces of money are a fart, come, enter the small room and drink a few cups first, I will call Xiaocui to accompany you, otherwise, I will accompany you."
The next sentence is very quiet, her eyes are like silk, and the autumn waves are overflowing.
Thinking of that cripple, one leg is gone, covered with pimples of flesh, and it is disgusting to see it, where is the heart to enjoy it?
Look at this Linghu, tall and young, handsome, able to kill wolves, presumably that the power is infinite, and the strength is inexhaustible.
Hee-hee, isn't this exactly what the old lady wants?
