Chapter 55: The Gambling Shop (Nail Case 10)
In the cold winter, there is nothing more comfortable than a cat in a warm house, drinking wine and having fun.
Zhu Yu was wearing pure white pajamas, with her hair down, eyes closed, and leaning on a soft couch. There was a piano player under the steps. Maybe her piano skills were not as good as her beauty, or maybe her mind was not on playing the piano, so
I played several wrong notes.
Even Xiaofeng heard it and glanced at the piano player several times.
How could Zhu Yu, who was good at this, not know that he didn't criticize out loud, but actually seemed to enjoy it.
A gust of cold wind came in with Zhou Qingyue. The piano player couldn't help but shivered and missed another note. She glanced at Zhou Qingyue with some complaints. Zhu Yu slowly opened his eyes. Zhou Qingyue was already kneeling in front of him. Zhu Yu asked the piano player to
He waited outside the house, then stood up, raised his hand and slapped him in the face.
"Song Yuan's identity is only told to me now."
Zhou Qingyue did not defend himself, "My subordinates only found out after overhearing what Li Huaixiu said."
In fact, how can they blame her? Both Zhu Yu and Zhou Qingyue knew that this matter had nothing to do with her, but he was the master and she was the slave. If he said she had responsibilities, she would.
"I didn't expect it to be him..." Zhu Yu smiled at Zhou Qingyue, "I am an old acquaintance with you. Didn't you really feel grateful to him when he fell into the river because of you?"
Zhou Qingyue raised her head, with hatred in her eyes, "He was the one who traded me for Li Huaixiu."
Zhu Yu laughed and said, "It turns out that in your heart you are extremely unwilling to stay by my side."
Zhou Qingyue was shocked and blurted out, "No... these are two different things."
Zhu Yu snorted, "Song Yuan was seriously injured, but he survived and became the boss of Yongchang. However, after checking for so long, we can only find out that the boss of Yongchang is a man named Song, and his identity is hidden.
He is deep enough and has some abilities."
Xiao Feng said, "No matter how deep he hid, he still showed up in the Iron Nail Case."
Zhu Yu shook his head, "I'm afraid it's not just the nail case that made him show up."
Zhou Qingyue said, "Because of Li Huaixiu, Li Huaixiu is investigating Yongchang."
"This is interesting." Zhu Yu said.
Xiao Feng was worried about something else, "Why don't you, the prince, go to see Song Yuan? The Fourth Young Master has already captured several chieftains, and I don't know how to show off in front of the prince. We don't have much time. The prince promised the prince
However, Yongchang will be obtained as soon as possible for our use, and this is precisely why we came to Beijing."
Zhu Yu said, "In just two years, Yongchang has become the largest shipping company in the capital, and it has joined forces with Liu Jing. Song and Yuan are not simple people. Do you think he will succumb to our power? Or our wealth?"
Xiaofeng thought for a moment and shook his head, "He doesn't lack power, nor does he lack wealth."
"But such a person must have greater ambitions. His ambition, if used well, can help us, but if used poorly, it will hinder us."
Xiao Feng said, "But no matter how ambitious and capable he is, he is still just a businessman."
Zhu Yu said, "What if there is someone behind him? Even Qiuzhu is suspected. Yongchang is related to He Chu of the Qinghai Gang. He Chu has people, wealth, and weapons... If we can use He Chu."
Zhu Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, "Are you still afraid that something big will not happen? By then, what can the four, fifth, and sixth brats do to me if they join forces? But if I don't need it...
Solve it as soon as possible."
"So, the prince still needs to test his tone first?"
Zhu Yu said, "Such a person is very arrogant. If I go to him directly, he will definitely look down on us. How will he obey my orders?"
"What if he is willing to follow the crown prince?"
Zhu Yu smiled and said, "If I go to find him, he is willing to follow me? It's so easy, but I have to doubt his intentions. The best way is to force him to come to me."
"My subordinate understands the previous plan..."
Xiaofeng suddenly saw Zhu Yu frowning, realized that he had made a mistake, and hurriedly kept silent.
"Get out." Zhu Yu ordered Zhou Qingyue.
Zhou Qingyue stood up, bowed to Zhu Yu, and then left the room. When she came to the corridor, she saw that the piano player just now was still there, so she walked up and asked, "What are you doing here?"
When the violinist saw that it was her, he didn't look kindly on it, "The prince just asked me to stay and didn't let me leave."
Zhou Qingyue frowned and drew out the sword with a whoosh, but when she heard the violinist scream, her hand had been cut off.
"Do you think you are qualified to play the piano for the prince?"
The commotion here attracted Xiao Feng. Seeing this scene, he was not surprised and went back to the house again, "Zhou Qingyue cut off the piano player's hand."
Zhu Yu chuckled lightly, "She is becoming more and more accommodating to me." Then he continued the previous topic, "The previous plan went ahead as usual. How could it be given up so easily after half a year of planning? Let me see what Song Yuan is like.
ability."
"If he still finds Liu Jing for help."
Zhu Yu said, "Isn't there also Li Huaixiu? I'm looking forward to her sense of justice. I haven't seen her for so long, but I miss her a lot. I have helped this heartless person twice."
Xiao Feng said, "We didn't know the relationship between Qian Desheng and Li Huaixiu before, let alone Song Yuan, who is the boss of Yongchang. All this seems to be destined."
Zhu Yu smiled and said, "Isn't it interesting? By the way, you must watch that person carefully."
"Your Majesty, don't worry."
"Moreover, I'll invite Qiu Zhuan over tomorrow. I want to know more about He Chu."

Jiang Ze brought back the news that Xu Hanshan had gone to "Juqianzhuang".
"Does Xu Hanshan like gambling?"
Jiang Zedao, "I went there for two days in a row. He carried the food box every time. He only stayed for half an hour and then came out. I was afraid of alerting others, so I didn't follow him. He seemed to be very cautious, and would look around before going in.
"
"It turns out that he brought a food box to the gambling house. Could it be that he was gambling and brought food with him?"
Huaixiu and Chang'an were both surprised.
"Also." Jiang Ze paused, "Hu Yuzhu also appeared around the gambling house, asking for information about Han Biao. There is one thing I didn't tell you. The man in black who appeared at Han Biao's house that day was Hu Yuzhu.
, we didn’t find anything in the secret room. I suspected that she had taken it away first, so I went to look for her, but she didn’t admit it. I also thought I had admitted my mistake, so I didn’t tell you, but she appeared in the casino, and I felt
This is no coincidence."
"Jiang Ze, why did you just say it now?" Chang'an was dissatisfied, "No wonder Hu Yuzhu has been trying to trick me these past two days. She is very interested in the iron nail case. In fact, she is jealous of us. The Yamen asked us to investigate secretly.
I heard from Wu Zhuo that she even scolded Sheng Changsi."
"Presumably the things in the secret room are related to the gambling house, so Hu Yuzhu will appear in the gambling house. Does she think Han Biao will appear in the gambling house? And Xu Hanshan also goes to the gambling house."
Huaixiu had already picked up the sword.
"Going to the gambling house?" Chang'an asked.
"No, look for Xu Hanshan first."
As soon as the three of them arrived at Xu's house, they saw Xu Hanshan bringing out a food box.
"Take him back for interrogation?"
