Two days later, Gusu City was lively again.

The battle of Taihu Lake to encircle and suppress the Giant Whale Gang ended, and the disciples of the gangs in the rivers and lakes returned to Gusu City one after another.

The city of Gusu was briefly closed to prevent bandits from entering the city, causing panic among the people, who were worried about the outcome of the battle. Fortunately, Gusu City is far away from Taihu Lake, and the people in the city have not been affected by the war in Taihu Lake.

After being frightened for two days, after getting the news that the government and the Jianghu coalition army had defeated the Giant Whale Gang water bandits, the people of the entire Gusu City were overjoyed, and soon resumed the liveliness as before, and the market was full of singing and dancing.

"Oh, Ben Lei Legs, you're not dead yet?"

"Haha, Thunderbolt Gate Thunder Gang Leader, your bright head is still on your neck!"

"Let's go, let's go drink a few big bowls of water and wine, and celebrate our escape from the battle of Taihu Lake! Fortunately, Su Shangxian rescued us, we can also be regarded as running into great luck, otherwise Ji Tailai." ”

"What else to drink, hurry up and go to the Yanyu Building to watch the Oiran Conference. The seats in the Yanyu Building tonight are not counted by the table, it is hard to find, and when the building is full, the people outside can't squeeze in!"

"Yes, I almost forgot about it, hurry up! ”

Two old friends of the big high-rollers met on the street, hugged each other and laughed, and rode horses to the Yanyu Building.

...

At night.

In the smoke and rain building, the red lanterns are hung high, and the lights are colorful everywhere, reflecting the rouge intoxication in the building, and the festive atmosphere is everywhere.

The Wu County Oiran Conference will be held in Yanyu Tower tonight, and a group of hundreds of the most outstanding Qing people trained by dozens of top green buildings will gather in Yanyu Tower to compete for the title of the crown of this Oiran and Wu County.

Of course, it's not just them competing for the oiran.

They will also go out of the cabinet tonight, and the high-rollers will bid for their first night rights, and bid farewell to the Qing people.

In front of the street, there is a lot of traffic and an endless flow of people.

The smoke and rain building is like a city.

The big businessmen who came from the south to the north, the sons and daughters of the wealthy and powerful, the high-level leaders of various gangs and the young heroes, all rushed to the Yanyu Building by carriages, sedan chairs and horses before nightfall, and cheered for this Oiran event.

The rivers and lakes were conquest, and a few people returned.

The bloody battle of the Taihu Lake encirclement and suppression of the Giant Whale Gang has just ended, and the dead are uncountable.

The disciples of the Jianghu gang lived a life of licking blood with knives, and their heads were still hanging around their necks last night, maybe they would be gone tomorrow morning. Therefore, the children of the rivers and lakes have always advocated that it should be timely, and they need to be happy tonight.

Even the gang leaders and hall masters, most of whom came to the Oiran Conference to join in the fun.

After fighting this battle, they got a generous reward from the government and gangs that they had spilled their blood and killed the bandits, and they came to Yanyulou to enjoy the joy of drunkenness.

Let's see which sister can win this Gusu Oiran tonight, and see who can compete for the right to leave the court on the first night of this Oiran.

Of course, most people knew that they had no hope of winning the first night of the Oiran, and in the end, only one person had the ability to win it. Others also watched the excitement to see if there were any other satisfied Qingqi people who they liked.

Inside and outside the Yanyu Building, there are many first- and second-rate masters of the horse gang, and the big men are watching the field. lest any guest get drunk and make trouble at the venue, and ruin the Oiran meeting.

The inside and outside of the Yanyu Building have already been newly decorated, and the girls are preparing for tonight's Oiran event, which is extremely lively.

At the door of Yanyu Building, Li Ma and many girls were smiling and greeting high-rollers from all walks of life, and when they saw Ding Dajia and Lei Gang Leader, two big high-rollers, riding horses, she hurriedly greeted them.

Ding Da got off his horse and laughed loudly: "Mother Li, you Yanyulou are really good at doing business, and when everyone has money in hand, they will hold an Oiran conference in Gusu City, this is to suck the bone marrow of the brothers dry!"

Mama Li waved a champa and said with a smile: "Where, look at what you Ding Lao said." The daughter is gone, and you come back, your old body is as strong as a calf, how can you suck it!"

"Hurry up and prepare two for our brothers!"

"Okay, no one else has a seat, can you Ding Lao and Lei Gang Master still have any vacant seats?" please, take a seat on the first floor!"

..

Wang Fuhao, the eldest son of the Wang County Ling family, surrounded by several fox friends and dog friends and entourages of the official family of Gusu City, shyly stomach, shaking paper fans, leading vicious dogs, swaggered towards Yanyulou.

Two days ago, the Giant Whale Gang entrenched in Dongting Mountain in the west of Taihu Lake was wiped out by the coalition forces, and Hanshan Zhenren, the former leader of the White Dao, was also wiped out, and most of the gangs in Wujun suffered serious losses.

Now the strength of the gangs in the rivers and lakes of Wu County has greatly decreased a lot, the medicine king Sun Baihong is too old to last a few years, and Li Shuo is too young and arrogant to fit in, and the cohesion is not high.

The strength of the gangs in the rivers and lakes has been damaged and weakened a lot, and the prestige of the local government has naturally increased a lot.

The officials also dared to leave the county seat and go to the countryside to wander around.

Wang Fuhao, the eldest prince of the county commander of Gusu City, naturally trembled majestically, prepared a lot of silver tickets, and went to the Yanyu Building, ready to compete for the first night right of the Oiran.

"Tonight's Oiran Meeting, the first night of this Oiran Qingqi people's right to go out of the cabinet, who doesn't covet it!"

"However, this time, our eldest prince Wang will definitely win! In our Gusu City, who dares to compete with him! With the help of our brothers, we can scrape together some silver tickets and ensure that we will win it!"

Wang Fuhao's group of fox friends and dog friends are boasting arrogantly.

On the way, Wang Fuhao unexpectedly met his cousin Wang Fugui, who was heading towards Yanyu Tower, when his eyes lit up and stopped: "Cousin, are you going to Yanyu Tower?" Don't fight with your brother for the Oiran, otherwise don't blame your brother for turning his face." ”

"Cousin, how can I have such thoughts, I just go to Yanyu Building to relax!"

Wang Fugui frowned.

"That's the best, cousin with a silver ticket?"

"If you have two hundred taels of silver tickets with you for emergencies, what are you going to do?"

"Borrow some silver tickets for my brother first, and when my brother has money, I will pay you back." Brother is going to Yanyu Building tonight, to enjoy the Oiran Conference, to fight for the right to leave the cabinet on the first night of the Oiran Beauty, and he has already raised a large amount of silver tickets, so I am afraid that it will not be enough.

You don't have much money on weekdays, so give the two hundred taels of silver to your brother for emergency! Whoever dares to fight with my son tonight, I will smash his dog's head with a silver ticket!"

Wang Fuhao was overjoyed, and hurriedly grabbed Wang Fugui and snatched the two hundred taels of silver tickets in his pocket.

"Cousin, my few hundred taels of silver are not enough for you to spend. Besides, this Oiran will be a cloud of wealthy businessmen and gangs from the north to the south, and there are many powerful and powerful people. I'm afraid it's hard to fight, so it's better not to fight!"

Wang Fugui didn't stop him, just frowned.

Over the years, he has traveled the rivers and lakes, experienced several winds and waves, and gained a lot of knowledge. I know that there are too many talented people on the rivers and lakes, and I am limited, so I am less pompous and much calmer.

The two are both children of the Wang family of Wujun, and he has great ambitions. But his cousin is unbearable, and he is not just a little bit worse than him, and he has always avoided this cousin.

It's just that his father is the lord of Wu Juntaishou, the adjutant of the county government. Compared with Wang Fuhao's father, Wang Xianling, who is in charge of a Gusu county seat, his status is a little worse.

"I am the eldest prince of the county order, on the land of Gusu City, my father said that it is the biggest! The beauty of the Yanyu Building, why should others fight for it, I can't fight! Tonight I will take the silver to smash this oiran, who dares to fight with me, I will not let him get out of Gusu City, and my eldest prince Wang is not a vegetarian!"

Wang Fuhao suddenly said angrily.

He patted a few younger brothers, "Go, call all the leaders of the third class and the government servants." Whoever dares to fight with me, I will let the head of the government official team arrest him directly! Hmph, even the tens of thousands of bandits of the first gang of giant whales in Wu County have been cleaned up by the government, and other wealthy businessmen and high-rollers in the rivers and lakes are nothing. I want to see, in this Gusu City, who can be more majestic than my father, the county commander!"

...

The Yanyu building was already crowded, and the upstairs box was naturally full, and even the most spacious hall on the first floor was almost unseated.

Third floor.

A luxury box.

There was only a lonely and lonely man sitting, looking at the bustle in the Yanyu Building.

Manager Liu entered the box and whispered ashamedly:

"The master of the sect, my subordinates have gone to investigate the origin of Aug's again!"

"How's it going?"

"The subordinates are incompetent, I checked Fei Xingchou's relatives once in the Eagle Inn before, and I knew from the shopkeeper of the inn that his father and mother were the guys of the inn, and they all died early, and there was a sister who was sold to a family at the age of seven.

At that time, I thought it was a maid from an ordinary big family, and it was no problem to earn a hundred and eighty silver to redeem his sister with the strength of a master like Ugly, so I didn't check it next time.

This time, I wanted to give Chou's sister a sum of money for the death of the war and a reward for merit, but I couldn't find anyone in the big family, saying that it was bought by the old bustard of the Qinglou ten years ago.

The subordinates personally went to the Gusu Yamen, and carefully checked the whereabouts of Fei Xingchou's sister Fei Shi on the slave and prostitute registers. Only then did I find out that Fei Xingchou's sister was quickly resold to Yanyu Building by the big family, and it was actually Miss Anu, the top Qing official in this Yanyu Building. The records on the prostitute book are clear and confirmed.

This layer of blood kinship, no one in the rivers and lakes knows. The last time I saw them at dinner, I didn't see them recognize, and Miss Anu didn't want to say her last name. In addition, the appearance of the two is too far apart, others will not guess at all... The subordinates are clumsy, and they don't see anything at all!

Jackdaw was silent for a while, and said, "Since Miss Anu doesn't want outsiders to know about their relationship, she naturally has their own concerns. This matter must not be passed on to a third person, lest those who are right and wrong on the rivers and lakes chew the root of their tongues and tarnish the reputation of the ugly. ”

"Yes!"

Mr. Liu nodded.

The jackdaw muttered for a long time, "Ah Ugly's bones are not cold, my sister has been reduced to the Qinglou so far, don't let the heroes of my Aquila Gate die blindly." Go and raise a sum of money, redeem Anu from Yanyu Building, and settle it. ”

Manager Liu hesitated for a moment and said, "Door master, can you directly tell Gang Master Li and let the Ma Gang release him directly?"

"Although the Li Shuo brothers are old friends with me, they have a deep friendship. It's okay for an ordinary woman, but this Miss Anu's current value in Gusu City is sky-high, and it involves huge gang interests, which will make it difficult for him to explain to the thousands of disciples of the Ma Gang.

It's better to follow the rules of the rivers and lakes, make up enough money for the redemption of silver and two, and help her redeem herself. so as not to owe another unpaid favor. ”

Jackdaw shook his head.

Manager Liu was very worried, he was in charge of the accounts of the Aquila Gate, knew the details of the sect, and said: "The master of the door, Ah Chou is also a life-saving grace to me, not that his subordinates are stingy and don't want to raise money."

However, in the battle to encircle and suppress the Giant Whale Gang, my Heavenly Eagle Sect disciples were killed as many as six hundred, and many were wounded, and hundreds of thousands of taels of silver were spent on pensions and bounties alone.

The door master ordered again before, and sent 100,000 taels of silver to the iron sword gate master to pay tribute to the Han gang leader. All the silver in the treasury was emptied, and there was a great shortage of silver.

Miss Anu is now famous in Wu County, and there are many admirers like Jiang Zhiqing, and the Ma Gang has used her as a cash cow every year, and last year alone, he earned more than 5,000 taels of silver from her. With her current value, there is no one among the Qing people in Wu County.

Just tonight's first night out of the cabinet, many of the tycoons who love her are generous, and I am afraid that they can auction at least more than 5,000 taels. The ransom money must be at least increased dozens of times above this, even if tens of thousands of taels of silver are too little, we can't take out so much silver for a while.

I squeezed out the silver from the shops and industries under the name of my family, but at most I squeezed out about seven or eight thousand taels of silver, which was far from enough money for redemption. ”

"Shut up!

The jackdaw's eyes were cold, furious, and he slapped the case violently. But it involved internal injuries and coughed up a few strands of blood.

"Cough~, I don't owe favors in my life! Brother Han's love must be repaid, and with me here, the Han family will be fine. Don't use the love of the ugly?

Ah Chou is dead, how can I pay him back! Ah Chou sacrificed his own life, saved Han Shu, saved hundreds of backbone disciples of the Heavenly Eagle Gate, and preserved the blood and bones of the Heavenly Eagle Gate.

You can't let him just leave with regrets. Raise money for me! Bet on a few valuable properties in the gang, the Sky Eagle Inn, and the deeds of dozens of shops in the city, and ask Qian Zhuang to borrow 50,000 taels of silver tickets to come back! If it is not enough, I have to use my old face to talk to Brother Li. ”

"Yes, Master... The subordinates will go to the money village to mortgage the deed and borrow a sum of silver taels back!"

Manager Liu's heart was shocked, knowing that the door was angry, and his mind had been decided, so he didn't dare to say more, and immediately hurriedly left the box.

The jackdaw sat alone in the box, looking at the hustle and bustle in the Yanyu Building, with a dark face.

The most painful thing about Ugly's death is that of him, the master of the door.

He is very optimistic about the future of Ah Chou, Ah Chou cultivates very hard, he suffers hardships in order to become a master, he becomes a first-class mid-stage master at a young age, and an innocent child from a poor background must have a bright future.

As long as Han Shu is a little entrapment, she can become her right-hand man, assist her in taking charge of the Aquila Gate, and carry forward the Aquila Gate.

However, Ugly died young and died early.

The Aquila Gate is missing a young pillar of talent.

The Tianying family has a great cause, there are many disciples in the door, and there are many places where money is urgently needed. The pension of the fallen disciples emptied all the treasury money accumulated by the Heavenly Eagle Gate over the past decades, and it was also very embarrassing for a while.

Only by selling off the property under the door can we barely make up this large sum of money.

Captured the helm of the Giant Whale Gang, there was not much silver taels in the helm of the bandits, and the Giant Whale Gang had expanded greatly over the years, and the money was spent. carved up the canal territory controlled by the Giant Whale Gang, and he could make a lot of money over time, but it was not urgent.

But no matter how short of money she is, she still wants Miss Anu to redeem herself, which can be regarded as giving an explanation to Fei Xingchou, the hero of Tianying Gate on Huangquan Road.
