Riding the old yellow wolf out of Qingliu Xiaozhu, just as he reached the street corner, a bold idle man came up to Chu Tian and said with a smile: "Chu Stall is in such a good mood, why did you leave so early today?"
Chu Tian glanced sideways at Xian Han, raised his foot and tapped his shoulder gently: "Nao Nao, which yard are you helping to attract people? Hong Gu, you are not happy these days, so, what are you doing? Is it time to explain to you, this idiot?"
Chu Tian raised his right hand as if to strike. The idle man hurriedly knelt down and put his head in his hands. He tilted his face and smiled apologetically at Chu Tian: "Bullsman Chu, Uncle Chu, hey, how dare you, the thieves or the thieves, to interfere with your affairs? This is not the case in front of you. Newly opened Qinyunyazhu!"
The idle man stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the street corner ahead.
At the door of a large courtyard at the corner of the street, a very luxurious carriage was stopping. The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a man wearing loose robes, whose demeanor was quite majestic, but also a bit more scribe-like. The long-bearded man walked out slowly, stood at the door with his hands behind his back, opened his eyes to the left and right, and walked into the yard with his head held slightly high.
"Bo Wang Yi, the Lord of the Prefecture." Chu Tian raised his head and looked at the sun, which was hanging high in the sky. He couldn't help but said in surprise: "It's noon, the majestic Lord of the Prefecture, Bo, hey! What's the origin of this courtyard?"
When the idle man saw that Chu Tian was interested in this matter, he stood up with a smile and said politely: "Isn't this courtyard originally the territory of Wanhua Building? Just five or six days ago, the boss of Wanhua Building I lost my capital and transferred the yard, and Qinyun Yazhu just opened yesterday."
Licking his lips, Xian Han looked at Chu Tian with a smile and stopped talking.
Chu Tian glared at Xian Han, took out seven or eight large coins from his sleeves, and threw them into his arms vigorously.
The idle man hurriedly grabbed the big money and held it tightly in his hand, and said hurriedly: "The girls in Qinyun Yazhu are not local girls from Yizhou, they are all from Qinzhou and Huaizhou, the popular places in the southeast." , all of them are good at singing and dancing, and the best at reciting poems and composing poems."
With a smile on his face, the idle man lowered his eyebrows and said in a low voice: "From yesterday to today, I don't know how many gentlemen coming in and out of Yazhou, it scares me to death. I heard that a cup of tea in there costs ten taels of silver. Only a romantic figure like you, Uncle Chu, has the confidence to go in!"
Chu Tian raised his fist, as if he was about to hit him: "You are a dirty thing. Where a group of officials are going, can we men get by?"
The idle man hurriedly squatted on the ground with his head in his hands. Chu Tian sneered and said, "Let me ask you, where did this yard come from? Isn't it just to compete with Hong Gu for business?"
The idle man raised his eyes and said hurriedly: "I'm about to say it, I'm about to say no, I heard that the Ling family's butler Ling Shou helps manage the courtyard inside and outside. Of course, the courtyard is hung on the first floor of the Ling family It’s in the name of a distant relative, but the owner is actually the Ling family’s new son-in-law, Bachelor Zhou Liuyun.”
Released his hands, Xianhan stood up again. He weighed the large amount of money in his hand and said with a hint of envy: "Uncle Chu knows about Yishan Academy? Bachelor Zhou is the new academic supervisor of the academy. His family's business , Aren’t the scholars in this state flocking to support you?"
Chu Tian remained silent, took out a piece of silver from his sleeve, threw it to the idler, and patted the old yellow wolf's head hard.
The old yellow wolf let out a deep roar, spread his legs and ran forward.
The idle man at the back was overjoyed, holding the money, and shouted loudly to Chu Tian: "Chu Stall, Uncle Chu, you want to go to that yard to have fun. Remember to tell the mother in the yard that it was our Ergouzi who introduced you." You went, don’t forget it!”
Chu Tian waved his hand without looking back, and drove the old yellow wolf to run wildly through the streets and alleys of Yizhou City.
There has always been a saying in Yazhou City that the rich in the east are poor in the west, and the officials in the north are businessmen in the south. Those who live in the east of Yazhou City are all dignitaries, wealthy businessmen and merchants in Yazhou. Most of the government offices in Yazhou are located in the north of the city. The south of Yazhou, just like the Wengcheng that Chutian passed by when he entered the city, is a place where shops gather.
Only the west part of the city occupies the largest area, but is also the most chaotic. All kinds of low-level people, ranging from common people to many idle rogues, gathered in the west of the city. Most of the streets here are rugged alleys several feet wide, and the houses are arranged in a messy manner, like a huge maze.
The old yellow wolf ran from the east end of the city to the west end of the city, where he slowed down.
Chutian rode on the back of the old yellow wolf, his sharp eyes constantly scanning the inconspicuous corners of the streets and alleys.
After walking through three or five streets and alleys, Chutian found the secret sign he was looking for, and followed the secret sign all the way. A quarter of an hour later, Chutian stopped in front of the gate of a large courtyard under the wall in the west of the city.
It was broad daylight, and everyone in the courtyard had gone out to make a living, and there was no one in the courtyard.
Several skinny guard dogs lay weakly at the entrance of the yard basking in the sun, lowering their heads from time to time to nibble on their own or their companions' tails. A huge old yellow wolf with a strong breath came over quietly and stood steadily at the entrance of the yard. , several dogs immediately shrank in fear, trembling all over and not daring to make any sound.
"Ah, ah, oh, oh", in broad daylight, there were extremely subtle gasps and calls coming from a tiled house in the corner of the courtyard. Chutian stood on the back of the old yellow wolf with his mouth crooked. Most of his body was over the top of the courtyard wall, and he squinted his eyes to look around the courtyard.
After waiting quietly for a quarter of an hour, I heard an almost hysterical gasping sound coming from the tiled room. After a long while, a man's proud "Hey" came from the sound, followed by the sound of the bed shaking. , the sound of the bench sliding, and the sound of the door bolt being pulled open came.
A tall man who was not tall, but fat and strong, with traces of lard on his clothes, held out his belly, shook a greasy handkerchief in his right hand to fan the wind, and proudly opened the door and walked out. He turned back to the house and smiled: "Daughter-in-law of the Zhang family, hey, I will come back to you in a few days when I have regained my energy. Make some soup to recuperate your ribs, and hide that bunch of money, so you don't get caught again." Brother Zhang took it to gamble."
A woman's voice with a bit of hoarseness came out lazily: "Don't worry, get out of here! Don't let the third brother see it, it's the slave who gets beaten again, you have no conscience!"
The fat man smiled and rubbed his belly, turning back step by step and walking towards the door of the yard with a look of recollection on his face.
There was still a long way from the entrance of the courtyard. The fat man suddenly saw Chu Tian who was half of his body higher than the wall. He was frightened and took three steps back. He pointed at Chu Tian angrily and cursed: "Where did these men and women come from? They are so blind." Your eyes, you, you, what are you doing here?"
"How dare you!" Chu Tian casually pulled out half a broken brick from the wall and beat it out with shaking hands.
With a "dang" sound, the broken brick hit the obese man on the forehead, sending his obese body flying three feet high from the ground. He fell heavily to the ground and fainted.
"Hush, shush," Chu Tian whistled.
On the tiled roof of the house where the fat man came out just now, a silver light suddenly lit up, flew across a distance of more than ten feet and landed on Chu Tian's shoulder.
