Chapter 217: Playing Chess
It turned out that Lan Ting told Qiu Qingman that in addition to the tall fat man in Kanto, he recaptured Baoyu and sent himself to a brothel to redeem her. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Qiu listened lightly and decided not to marry in this life.
"Young Master Guan is very kind, and the little woman has nothing to repay, so she can only meet in person. ”
Kanto was dizzy, and when he saw a beautiful woman, of course he liked it. But it was too sudden.
Lan Ting said: "This is all the credit of the child. ”
Kanto also knelt down, pulled Qiu Qingman and kowtowed to Qi Chu three times, and was speechless with emotion. Qi Chu was very happy to see that he had a happy marriage, leaned down to help the husband and wife, and asked Kanto not to lose Miss Qiu.
Shering asked Lan Ting curiously, "How do you know which brothel Miss Qiu was sold to?"
Lan Ting said proudly: "Gao Fat Man uses Miss Qiu to pay off gambling debts, Master Li, they must not do loss-making business, they must find a brothel with a high price to sell Miss Qiu." So I asked passers-by which was the most expensive brothel in the capital to accept beauties, and naturally I found it. ”
"You can really think of this way. Shering laughed
Lan Ting looked at Qi Chu and thought that it was Gongzi who gave him the task in an emergency, and encouraged himself, so he was in a hurry.
Qi Chu and the others went back to the Xiling Inn to rest after eating. Kanto found a place in the second floor to settle down in Autumn Light Man first.
In winter, the streets of the capital were originally crowded with people, but it was not very late this night, and there were almost no idle people shopping on the streets. It's not because the night is cold, but because the gambling king Tiger in the capital is dead today.
Could it be that the tiger is dead, everyone is happy to drink at home to celebrate, and the wine is a little too much and goes to bed early?
Lan Ting stood in front of the window, looking at the long street, he thought so. But what is wrong? But what is wrong?
The gambling king in the capital died, and the gambling house was converted into a restaurant, and this matter really ended like this?
Of course not!
Since ancient times, all powerful people have a background, otherwise even if this person has the ability to reach the sky, don't want to dominate one side. Naturally, there is a more powerful person behind the tiger, but who is this person?
No one in the capital knows, and the common people only know that this person controls all the forces in the capital, both black and white. Even Mei Rinhan and Feng Sanzhang, who can dominate one side, have to be kind and nod in front of this person. The gambling king Tiger is only qualified to give him shoes, as for how powerful this person is, what his surname is, and ordinary people have no way of knowing.
But those who have lived in the capital for a long time know that as long as this person stomps his feet, even a hundred miles outside the capital will be affected.
As the night deepened, Lan Ting closed the window boringly. If he had closed the window a little later, he might have seen such a strange sight. Originally, there were no people on the street, and some people with luggage and families slowly appeared, they bent their waists, nodded their feet, probed left and right, held their wives, carried their children, and quietly walked towards the west gate of the capital.
It was so late that the gates of the city had long since been closed, and no one was allowed to enter or leave. Even if these people take the west gate, the sun will not come out of the west, can the door really be opened?
Of course, the gate can be opened, because the officers and soldiers guarding the gate have already opened the gate secretly, and they know that there must be a lot of people going out of the city tonight, and they will definitely go out through the west gate. Because something big happened in the capital, when the man was ready to make a move, there would be ordinary people who went out of the city overnight for fear of being implicated. Of the four gates of the city, east, west, north, and south, only the west gate was opened, because it was commanded by the man. Can this person actually control the security of the capital, and even the city gate has to listen to him?
Of course!
Seeing that Qi Chu was majestic, he had secretly given people a secret signal, and he wanted to move the rescuers. But before the help arrived, the man died first. The person who sent the code was standing in front of the back door of a mansion at this time, and his right hand trembled and stretched out, and he knocked three times with "Dangdang".
"Who?" said an impatient voice from behind the door, presumably disturbed by a sweet dream.
"Wang Gui," the man put his face against the door and whispered.
The door creaked and cracked, and a thin head poked out, "Why are you here, come in." He stretched out a hand with only four fingers and pulled Wang Gui into the courtyard.
Wang Gui entered this courtyard and leaned against the gate panting, "Is the second master here?"
The person who opened the door said, "What's the matter with finding the second master so late?"
"The gambling king Tiger is dead!" Wang Gui looked depressed, and he also left the gambling house in the afternoon when the tiger gambled against Qi Chu. Originally, I was going to move the rescuers, but as soon as I went out with the rescuers, I heard that the tiger had died. And it turned out that before Qi Chu made a move, the tiger died of anger. Wang Gui didn't know that this was because of the reason why Shering used Gu Heart Technique, all because Qi Chu knew how to spell, he was so frightened that he hid in the dark, and didn't dare to report until it was dark.
"What tiger is dead? How is it possible!" The person who opened the door couldn't believe it, it was the gambling king of the capital!
"It's really dead, I came to find the second master. ”
The person who opened the door was a little embarrassed: "But you also know that several masters of our family have always been reluctant to meddle in the affairs of the underworld, this ......"
"The man who killed the tiger opened the vault of the gambling house and gave away all the gold, silver and jewels in it. You also know that these gold, silver and jewelry have always been delivered to the big boss, so ...... "The big boss in Wang Gui's mouth is the one who controls the black and white in the capital."
"Come with me. The person who opened the door took Wang Gui and walked inside, the courtyard was very large, and the two of them were silent along the way. The person who opened the door walked faster and faster at first, until he saw the light in the room in the distance, and gradually slowed down. He turned around and said to Wang Gui: "The second master is playing chess with the fourth master in the house, let's not disturb them." ”
"Is the fourth master back?" Wang Gui trembled when he heard the name of the fourth master, and he wanted to find two people to help tonight. But the fourth master is back, and this matter is not easy to do!
"Yes, the imperial court has transferred the fourth master from Yuanping County back to Jingshi, saying that he has been promoted, waiting to enter Dali Temple!"
"That's right, congratulations to the fourth master. Wang Gui's heart became heavier and heavier, and he even had the idea of turning around and leaving.
The two of them slowly approached the lighted room silently, stood at the door and listened, and could hear the sound of chess players in the room. The person who opened the door waved his hand to Wang Gui, meaning that he could not disturb the people in the house playing chess. Wang Gui could only wait outside.
The silent and abrasive night was breathless. Through the window paper, you can vaguely see the figure in the house shaking, a person raised his hand and raised his chess undecided, after a while, only to hear the chess pieces fall on the chessboard, from the house came a voice, "Fourth, you have been in Yuanping for four years, and you have been bothering about the people's livelihood all day long, and you can't think of chess skills but you haven't regressed." Second brother, I admit defeat. He burst out laughing.
