Tang Doudou was walking around on the street, always feeling like someone was following him.
This is not okay. Even if she knows that the person following her is Bailiyu who was called to protect her, she cannot let Bailiyu know what she is going to do next.
Just like the mysterious man delivering the lantern for her, she didn't tell Bai Liyu.
It wasn't that she deliberately wanted to hide it, but that she had an intuition that she couldn't tell Bai Liyu about it, otherwise it would cause him big trouble.
Tang Doudou is also a bit strange. Why do so many people know about this ancient lantern, but Bailiyu doesn't
I've never seen any strange emotion towards ancient lanterns in his eyes.
Speaking of which, how can I get rid of that annoying little tail behind me
Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a brothel next to him, and he smiled evilly, "Hey, it's you!" A tried-and-true strategy! Bailiyu didn't know how he taught his subordinates, but they all seemed to have opinions about brothels.
But for Tang Doudou, the brothel is really a good place!
Glancing back slightly, he strode in.
The secret guard who was following her suddenly had a bad look on his face when he saw her entering the brothel. How could he continue to follow her
My master would never come to these dirty places.
But for the sake of the mission, he gritted his teeth and walked around to the back of the brothel, jumped up the high wall and climbed to the roof.
Since Tang Doudou became familiar with the Qing Gong controlled by internal force, her vision and hearing have become much more sensitive than before. Just like now, despite the noisy people in the brothel, she can still clearly hear the sound of someone stepping on the tiles on the roof.
Everything was as she expected. Tang Doudou secretly glanced up, and sure enough, she saw the person on the roof quietly removing the tiles, revealing a faint light.
Still following the old rules, a large number of women were called into the room with a loud noise. While they were playing and playing, Tang Doudou slipped out while the crowd was running around.
The people on the roof looked down completely and could only see the dark tops of their heads and no faces. They could only tell who Tang Doudou was from their clothes. They had no idea that Tang Doudou had changed clothes with someone else a long time ago.
When he realized something was wrong, he ran in from the window, but Tang Doudou was long gone.
At this moment, Tang Doudou had put on men's clothes again, and based on the directions in his memory and some sporadic inquiries, he came to the Gu Mansion.
That's right, she is here to find out!
"Who are you looking for?" After knocking on the door, a boy's head emerged from the door and asked Tang Doudou impatiently.
"I'm looking for Gu Xun, is he at home?"
"Are you looking for the young master?" The boy looked her up and down. Seeing that she was well-dressed, he opened the door and stood up, "Who are you? What do you want to do with the young master?"
"Please tell your young master, please. If Li Xueyi comes to him, he will understand what's going on!"
"Li Xueyi?" The boy looked thoughtful and suddenly realized, "It's Mr. Li! Come in quickly, my young master said, as long as it's Mr. Li who comes to see you, he will be at home at any time!"
… Does Gu Xun know that there is such an upright young man
The boy seemed a little embarrassed about his previous rudeness. On the way he led Tang Doudou to find Gu Xun, he was very attentive. He knew everything about Tang Doudou's questions. Tang Doudou successfully obtained a lot of Gu Xun's information.
Now I know why this guy did such a shameless thing with Lao Suo. It was all because of Gu Xun's father.
He is also Bai Feiyun’s father.
In short, their father was an absolute scumbag. He made Gu Xun's mother so angry that he took Gu Xun away and sold him to a trafficker. Bai Feiyun was stopped by the Bai family and rescued, and then he didn't know about the Gu family at all. According to the news about the father and son, after Gu Xun was sold to a human trafficker, his status among the traffickers rose sharply with his wit. In the end, the trafficker was reluctant to sell him, so he stayed and cultivated him carefully.
In the end, those human traffickers succeeded in cultivating Gu Xun into an elite human trafficker. When Gu Xun became an adult, he turned against the traffickers and killed those traffickers, and established his own special gang of human traffickers, specializing in selling those with higher status. , Ordinary people simply can't get into his eyes.
It was also during an operation that I met Lao Suo. For some reason, the two hit it off and came to Mengcheng to set up camp.
After many years of business, Gu Xun has deep roots in Mengcheng. On the surface, he runs some restaurants and shops. In fact, countless people have been secretly sold to him, but no one has dared to check him out in all these years.
All because of the support of the Lord of Mengcheng.
Who made Gu Xun's human trafficker business a very important source of income for Mengcheng
These are all the words Tang Doudou extracted from the boy's mouth, coupled with speculations from all sides.
"Master Li is here!" Just when Tang Doudou was lost in thought, the boy pointed to the pavilion behind the rockery ahead and said.
Tang Doudou looked in the direction he pointed, but the scene over there was mostly blocked by the rockery. Except for a pavilion and a lotus pond, nothing else could be seen.
"Okay!" Tang Doudou nodded to the boy and walked towards the pavilion.
Gu Xun and Bai Feiyun had very similar faces, and even their body shapes were the same. They were both dressed in white. When Tang Doudou just passed by, he almost thought it was Bai Feiyun who was sitting there drinking tea.
"Little..." Before the voice of surprise could be called out, he was awakened by the calculating look in Gu Xun's eyes. Tang Doudou coughed lightly, "Brother Gu is really in a good mood."
But I am very interested. Although the lotus pond is still full of dead leaves and branches, the weeping willows beside the pond have sprouted new green. Looking along, it is quite fresh and pleasant among the dead leaves and branches.
"No matter how good your mood is, it's not as good as Alliance Leader Li. It's not dark yet, so let's go and be free and at ease." Gu Xun said with a smile.
Tang Doudou's doubts flashed across his face. How did he know that she went to a brothel
"Smell her fragrance before you see her. Does this fragrance belong to Miss Zhizhi from Yunfenglou?" Gu said to Tang Doudou with a wink, "Is Gu's statement wrong?"
After listening to Gu Xun's words, Tang Doudou suddenly realized that he raised his hand and sniffed his sleeve, but he couldn't smell anything. Gu Xun's nose was like that of a dog, right
"Leader Li, please sit down and have a taste of Gu's foggy mountain tea. I spent a lot of effort to get it. What a coincidence. I just finished brewing it and you arrived." Gu Xun looked familiar, which made it difficult for Tang Doudou to speak.
She thought for a while and sat across from Gu Xun.
Gu Xun poured a cup of tea and pushed it in front of Tang Doudou. The light smoke lingered and a fragrance hit his nose. Even before he drank it, he knew it was good tea.
Although Tang Doudou has no research on tea, when he has nothing to do in modern times, he also likes to make a cup of green tea and read and surf the Internet on the balcony. The taste is simply wonderful.
After withdrawing his thoughts, Tang Doudou picked up the tea and took a sip. The tea filled his stomach and the aroma lingered on his tongue. It was really comfortable.
"Good tea!" Tang Doudou said sincerely as he put down the teacup.
Gu Xun's eyebrows were filled with joy, "Really?"
His reaction was a bit strange!
Tang Doudou took another sip of tea, smiled and nodded, without moving his eyes away from Gu Xun, thinking about how to say this.
After getting Tang Doudou's affirmation again, Gu Xun was so excited that he started dancing and insisted on playing the flute for Tang Doudou.
The fuss made Tang Doudou a little confused and confused about Gu Xun's excitement.
"To be fair, Brother Gu, I came here this time to ask Brother Gu for help."
With a burst of magic sound piercing his ears, Tang Doudou finally couldn't bear the torture anymore and explained his purpose to Gu Xun.
After hearing this, Gu Xun put down the flute on his lips and looked at Tang Doudou in confusion, "Is there anything else that Hengxuan Chamber of Commerce can't solve?"
Yes, everyone in the world regards her as a member of the Hengxuan Chamber of Commerce.
"Ahem, this is a matter of my Alliance Leader's Mansion and my private matter. It has nothing to do with the Hengxuan Chamber of Commerce."
"Oh, so that's it." Gu Xun nodded, "Since it is Alliance Leader Li's private matter, Gu is willing to hear the details."
Tang Doudou pondered for a while, then asked straight to the point: "Brother Gu has been in Mengcheng for many years, but do you know that there is an old man in Qianniang in Shilipu? Who are they?"
"Qianniang? Old man?" Gu Xun pondered these two words, and after thinking for a long time, he showed a troubled expression, "There are too many old men in Shilipu, but this Qianniang should be a woman, right? In Shilipu Where did this woman come from? Leader Li, have you been deceived?"
Gu Xun was telling the truth, but Tang Doudou felt that he must not be telling the truth. Otherwise, why would he keep playing with the flute
She didn't understand psychology, but she occasionally saw popular science stories. Some people would habitually make small movements when lying.
When Gu Xun was talking just now, his palms were relaxed and placed on the table. It was not until she mentioned this that he made this small gesture, which showed that what he said at this time was definitely not the truth!
Tang Doudou didn't clarify. He calmly picked up the tea cup and tasted it again. He felt that the tea was really fragrant. He felt like he wanted to drink it again, as if he was addicted.
"Since Brother Gu doesn't know who those two people are, can you help me check it out?"
After hearing this, Gu Xun looked embarrassed, "This..."
"Brother Gu, if you have any questions, you can just say it. If you really can't help, it doesn't matter. I'll just ask others."
"It's okay to investigate this matter. I just don't hide it from Leader Li. Shilipu is a taboo topic in Mengcheng now. It's okay for you and me to talk about it here. If the people in the city lord's palace know that someone wants to investigate this matter, even if you always The Xuan Chamber of Commerce will also be kicked out of Mengcheng!" Gu Xun sighed and filled Tang Doudou's cup with tea.
After listening to his words, Tang Doudou frowned, how could this happen.
Isn't Shilipu a shabby street? Is there anything in it that deserves to be listed as a taboo topic by the Lord of Mengcheng City
"So that's it."
"It's not just that." Gu Xun said in a low voice, then looked around and continued, "I also heard that the city lord is cleaning up the people who passed Shilipu..."
"What?!" Tang Doudou was extremely surprised, "You mean he killed all the beggars who escaped from the sea of fire?"
"Hey, isn't it? Haven't Alliance Leader Li noticed it these past few days? Beggars are rarely seen in Mengcheng. Regardless of whether they have been to Shilipu or not, as long as they are beggars, they have been secretly dealt with." Gu Xun He shook his head and said sadly.
