Li Mingqiu knew in his heart that Yang Jiuwa and Guo Mazi were sworn enemies, but he didn't want to offend anyone, and he couldn't afford to offend anyone. In troubled times, heroes are everywhere, and if you have a gun, you are the grass-headed king. It is difficult to predict who will win and who will lose, so why should he?

Tie a rope around his penis to tie him up? But Li Mingqiu still listened to Yang Jiuwa's advice and tried every means to curry favor with Guo Mazi.

On this day, Li Mingqiu was wearing a long robe, a top hat, a footstool, and cow-nose cloth shoes with mille-layer soles. Behind him was a boy carrying a package. The two of them arrived at Guo Mazi's mansion. The guard went in to inform Guo Mazi.

Mazi personally came out to greet them. The two exchanged greetings and entered the inner hall hand in hand. Peony Hong came out from the back room and made tea for the two of them.

Li Mingqiu didn't look at Mudanhong, as if they didn't know each other. But Guo Mazi had something in his mind, and concluded that Li Mingqiu might have come just for Mudanhong. He glanced at Mudanhong, then at Li Mingqiu, and waited quietly for Li Mingqiu to speak.

Li Mingqiu picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, and then said: "A few days ago, a fur dealer from Inner Mongolia gave Ming Qiu two rare things. Ming Qiu specially brought them to Brother Guo. It's not respectful. I hope you will accept it."

.

Then he ordered the boy to open the package, which contained a piece of tiger skin and an old wild ginseng.

Guo Mazi was a little stunned. He really didn't dare to accept such an expensive gift. Then he thought, could it be that Li Mingqiu wanted something from him? He also heard that Li Mingqiu disappeared innocently for a while, but after a while, Li Mingqiu returned intact.

After appearing in Fengqi City, many rumors spread like wildfire, becoming more and more mysterious as they spread. Guo Mazi knew that a strong dragon would not overwhelm a local snake, so he tried his best to win over the leading figures in Fengqi Street. Guo Mazi pondered for a long time and then poured out his words.

A cautionary sentence: "I really don't deserve it if I receive a salary without merit. If Brother Li has any difficulties, you might as well tell him about it."

Li Mingqiu said: "Brother Nian is overly worried. Li really admires Brother Guo as a person. There is no need to have other ideas."

Guo Mazi cursed in his heart: "Beetle beetles have excrement balls. They look bright outside. In these days, you must have eyes on the back of your head. You, Li Mingqiu, are not a good bird. What kind of maggots do you want to put in my bowl? Yes."

"Aren't you jealous that I stole your wife?" But on the surface, he was smiling, and he said exactly what he said: "I'll ask you to take Peony Hong to your mansion in a sedan soon."

Then Li Mingqiu waved his hand quickly: "Brother Nian's guess is really embarrassing to Li. No matter how good the peony red is, how can it be compared to the brotherhood between you and me?"

Guo Mazi was even more explicit: "Guo heard from someone that Yang Jiuwa was not dead but was active around Xiangu Nunnery, and innocent people often disappeared on that road."

Although Li Mingqiu was born in the underworld, there were still beads of sweat on the tip of his nose. It seemed that Guo Mazi had mastered everything and simply told the truth... Li Mingqiu laughed and looked very generous: "Brother Nian is really a god, all of a sudden

You can hit the vital point. Yes, Yang Jiuwa is not dead, and I came from him exactly. But I am not here to spy on the military situation, nor am I here to be a lobbyist. I just want to remind you that when two tigers fight, there will always be one.

Injury, you are in the light, he is in the dark. It is easy to hide from open guns and hard to defend against hidden arrows. I don’t want to offend either of you, and neither of you can afford to offend. There are big trees that are thousands of years old, but there are no enemies that are hundreds of years old. Find a step between each other.

It is actually the best policy to come down."

People with military backgrounds all have a characteristic, they like to be straightforward. Seeing that Li Mingqiu had made his words clear, Guo Mazi stopped saying anything. He thought that Yang Jiuwa and I have formed a knot, and no one can untie this knot. No matter what you Li Mingqiu sells.

I can only deal with it calmly and deal with it calmly. Besides, they also offer a generous gift, so I can't treat the guest slowly. Thinking of this, Guo Mazi clasped his fists and praised: "Okay

You Brother Li, I just like your personality. I also have a bottle of Moutai here, let’s get drunk and then rest." As he said this, he ordered the Huotou Army: "Give us a table of good food."

During the dinner, the two informed each other of their birth ages, and they were actually the same age. Li Mingqiu was older than Guo Mazi for a few days, and Guo Mazi naturally called Li Mingqiu "brother." The regimental deputy accompanied several battalion commanders, and Mudanhong performed impromptu and sang a song

"Deep Palace Grudge", the tone of Qiqi Ai Ai's voice can't help but make people touch the scene. Everyone is shouting and drinking, asking for wine and guessing fists. Li Mingqiu socializes for a moment, and his heart is like a lonely sail and leaf boat, gradually drifting away.

It was already dusk when the banquet ended. Li Mingqiu clasped his fists and said goodbye. Guo Mazi grabbed Li Mingqiu's sleeves and refused to let him go: Brother, Guo has been in this world for decades, and it is rare to meet a close friend today. How about we just play a few rounds of mahjong? What about Li Mingqiu?

I was a little drunk, but I didn't want to spoil the fun, so I lit four candles on a square table, and the four of them fought fiercely until dawn. At dawn, Li Mingqiu started to get spiritual. The three people played the pass card, and Li Mingqiu lost hundreds of dollars at once.

A few hundred silver dollars is not a small sum. Although his wife Qu Manxiang ignored Li Mingqiu's eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling issues, Li Mingqiu knew that it was a helpless indulgence. A bushel of wheat only cost more than one yuan back then, and Li Mingqiu spent one night

Lost more than twenty stones of wheat! What kind of brothers? They are just a bunch of robbers! It feels so damn heartbreaking to be plotted against! Li Mingqiu staggered open the door of his house and fell heavily on his kang. His wife Manxiang came over

, slightly sarcastically: "We had another fierce battle last night"?

Li Mingqiu sat up and yelled at his wife: "I've been fucking tricked"!

Manxiang felt calm: "We are allowed to scheme against others, but others are not allowed to scheme against us? How much did we lose? You tell us the number, and I can prepare it for others."

Li Mingqiu crossed his legs, clasped his hands together, and said in prayer: "Manxiang, you are my Bodhisattva. Mingqiu Bucai. I lost three hundred silver dollars last night. My heart aches and my body aches. I really want to put this finger on my body."

Chop it off”!

Manxiang took a kitchen knife from the chopping board and handed it to Mingqiu: "Chop off one finger first and try it."

Li Mingqiu stared and said, "If someone eats centipedes in his stomach, he will feel so uncomfortable that he will die. It would be better for you to take advantage of your husband."

Man Xiang let out a long breath: "Isn't it just three hundred silver dollars? It's worth buying a lesson. Let me tell you, living on the water is not a long-term solution. If you still have some free money and build some foundation, the three hundred silver dollars can help you."

If you buy more than ten acres of land, you can build a courtyard house. In the coming autumn, I will listen to my wife and wash my hands in a golden basin from now on, okay?"

While the couple was talking, there was a knock on the door, and Li Mingqiu was furious: "They must be here to collect debts! This Guo Mazi kills people with soft knives, and he will not die a good death!"

Manxiang asked the housekeeper to open the door, and then said to Mingqiu: "The prime minister can hold a boat in his belly, and a real man must have some dignity! Be generous and don't let those philistines see our jokes." Then Li Mingqiu had just put on his shoes and got off.

After getting off the kang, Guo Mazi's orderlies came in, took out the IOU written by Li Mingqiu, and said, "Our regiment leader has told us that if money is not convenient, we can extend it for a few days."

Li Mingqiu burst out laughing: "What a joke! When did I, Li Mingqiu, owe the guest donkey money for two taels of cotton spinning? This small amount of money is like pulling out a dick hair, and I don't even know it in my heart." Immediately afterwards

He shouted to his wife: "The fragrance is full, open the cabinet, count three hundred silver dollars, and send the guests on their way."

Seeing the orderly carrying three hundred silver dollars out of the courtyard, Li Mingqiu slumped down on his chair and yelled a little hysterically: "Guo Mazi, let's ride on the donkey and read the songbook, we'll see! If I, Li Mingqiu, don't

You squeeze out the oil from your bones and swear not to be a human being!”

Man Xiang smiled sweetly and advised: "In the Ming Qiu, there is an old saying in Fengqi Town, which is called 'Golden lions will not fight with mud pigs'. It is worth buying a lesson with these three hundred silver dollars."

But Li Mingqiu had never suffered such a big loss in his life, and he had to find a way to win back the silver dollars he exported. He knew that he couldn't defeat the gang of thugs, so he searched for the enemy in Fengqi City, looking around and focusing on him.

Guo Shanren, didn't my wife say that she wanted to buy some property? My uncle's iron abacus also planned the medicine shop. It's not that he wanted to plot against Guo Shanren. Guo Shanren is really not a business owner. As long as he uses some means to guide Guo Shanren to go up.

It's easy to set up.

That day, Li Mingqiu pretended to be relaxed and came to his uncle's yard. Although the two families were only separated by a wall, Li Mingqiu usually did not enter the courtyard of his uncle's house unless he had important matters. On weekdays, if he wanted to discuss something with his uncle, he would always call out through the wall:

"Uncle, come here for a moment." The iron abacus hunched over his waist, clamped his shirt tightly, and trotted all the way. When he entered the house, he asked: "Mingqiu, what do you want from me?"

Iron Abacus knew that his nephew would not go to the Three Treasures Hall for any reason. Since he came to see him in person, he must have something important to discuss. He took out a pack of "Hardman" cigarettes from the cargo box, but Mingqiu stretched out his hand to block it. Look at that

The chair was covered with dust, and Mingqiu refused to sit down. He directly said to his uncle: "I was stung by a scorpion a few days ago. I have been feeling flustered sitting in the room for the past few days. Can we make a date with two people and let's play a few rounds of mahjong?"

.

Although Tie Abacus often plays mahjong, the stakes are very small, and winning or losing will not hurt his muscles. Tie Abacus knows the meaning of Li Mingqiu's metaphor about the scorpion stinging him, and it is nothing more than saying that Guo Mazi made a big deal, and the uncle and nephew have never been together.

After playing mahjong, Tie Abacus was puzzled as to whose bowl his nephew was going to put maggots in.

Li Mingqiu saw through his uncle's heart, so he simply made it clear: "Call Guo Shanren here, and go to Fireworks Alley to ask for Xiaocui by name." Tie Abacus felt a little uneasy, because he had planned Guo Shanren's future.

Pharmacy shop, but I still can't bear to attack Guo Shanren. Guo Shanren is not a bad person, but he just has some disputes in his marriage, so he breaks the pot. Although this Fengqi Street secretly eats the best and eats the weird,

But I still talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality, and if I do too many immoral things, I will be blamed by the gods.

Although he thought so in his heart, he did not dare to disobey his nephew's will. He wandered to the medicine shop and explained his purpose to Guo Shanren. Guo Shanren did not know what the plan was, so he naturally agreed.

For more than half a year after that, Guo Shanren fooled around at Li Mingqiu's house. During the day, Li Mingqiu and Tie Baanpan played mahjong with him. When he lost money, Li Mingqiu generously lent it to him. Sometimes when Li Mingqiu had something to do, he would call other people to accompany him. At night, Li Mingqiu stayed in Fengqi.

He rented a house on the street and let Guo Shanren and Xiaocui live together. At first, Guo Shanren was a little confused. He felt that Li Mingqiu must have some purpose for being so good to him. As time went by, he couldn't resist the temptation of the idle life. Then

Although Xiao Cui is not as delicate as Peony Hong, she is somewhat famous in Fengqi. The Firework Girl has some skills in bed. Guo Shanren fell into the muddy river and fell deeper and deeper.
