Chu Yunqing didn't know what the so-called assistant was. He had never heard of it before, let alone such a situation.

But so far, the only accident he could think of that happened to him that could fit his current situation was the mysterious assistant not long ago.

Then, he thought of the goatee Taoist who pasted the talisman on his head and what strange words he said.

Could it be that someone had cast some weird magic on himself? Chu Yunqing leaned against the wall, frowning and thinking, this could explain the Taoist's behavior.

However, I feel indescribably comfortable now, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Can't figure it out.

forget about it.

Chu Yun cleaned up his slightly wrinkled clothes and spent the whole day cautiously. If he worried too much, he was really afraid that the string in his heart would break.

No matter who you love, you just don't care.

Chu Yunqing walked away to find the goatee Taoist.

…

On the horse market side, in the tavern at the entrance of the alley, Li Er was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.

It's been an afternoon, and I've searched the entire Kang Le Fang, but there's not a single sign of Brother Qing'er.

On the side, a waiter hesitated and asked: "Could it be that Chen Wu and his gang..."

Li Er looked over suddenly.

The waiter quickly lowered his head, drank the rough wine, and said nothing.

The Yuanxing Gang has the bedridden gang leader Shi Chongshan, who is the patriarch who influences gang power in Taiyuan City and six nearby counties. Below him is the deputy gang leader Lu Jing, who is now temporarily in charge of the affairs of the gang and maintaining its operation.

.

Next, there are four hall masters, respectively corresponding to the normal operation of the business in the four cities of Taiyuan City. Each of them has several incense masters under his command to take care of one or several markets.

They are all gangsters, and they are indispensable for fighting and killing. Although they are their own people to the outside world, they are inevitably involved in interests internally.

Especially when Shi Chongshan became seriously ill, problems began to arise within the gang, and there was a lot of friction. Some people who usually did not deal with were full of gunpowder. Although there has been no blood yet, people's hearts will start to change. It's only a matter of time.

Chen Wu, the leader of Nanshi Hall of the Yuanxing Clan, was nicknamed "One-Eyed Leopard" because his younger eye was related to Chu Yunqing. Although there was no direct relationship, there was still grudge. They often looked at each other coldly and secretly.

Make a stumbling block.

Therefore, when the situation was unstable, Chu Yunqing was left alone, and it was possible that he was taken away by this person.

Li Er also had such suspicions, but did not dare to believe it.

"Don't make random guesses first, and then search again. If there is no news at dawn, go to Gang Leader Lu." He comforted his brothers.

At this time, a person hurriedly came in at the door and shouted, "Brother Qing'er is back!"

In the tavern, about ten people stood up cheering, and Li Er looked surprised.

The curtain at the door had already been lifted. After a while, a tall figure came in, looked at the room, nodded to everyone, and then raised his hand to signal.

Only then did everyone sit down.

"Brother Qing'er." Li Er called.

The person who came was none other than Chu Yunqing. He went to the alley where the goatee had been thrown, but he didn't find the man. Looking at the scene, it looked like he woke up and ran away by himself.

As for whether the other party would report to the official, Chu Yunqing couldn't care about it. Everyone ran away, so he could only come and take on everything. Anyway, An Qinghe was still there, so the guy shouldn't let him go in and idle.

"Thank you for your hard work, brothers." Chu Yunqing looked at everyone, "Everyone can drink as much as you like, I'll take it."

The rough guys were naturally happy and flattered him continuously.

"Has the money been collected?" Chu Yunqing asked.

Li Er kicked the backpack at his feet.

"Okay, then I'll go up and rub your waist." Chu Yunqing took a sip of wine and then went upstairs.

At the table, not only Li Er, but also everyone who heard it looked over with strange smiles on their faces, very vulgar.

Chu Yunqing was used to this, so he just smiled, waved his hand and went up the stairs.

…

The Yuanxing Gang is the largest gang in Taiyuan City, with more than 3,000 members, so the expenses are of course high. And the operation of the gang naturally requires money, not only for the brothers to eat, but also for general management, so in addition to ordinary business,

We also need to find input from other places.

For example, the filial piety of other gangs, as well as the money provided by merchants and shops.

This is what every gang has to do, and with a gang, this kind of filial money does not have to fall into the hands of those gangsters in the market.

There are two horse markets in Taiyuan City. The largest is in Nanshi, which is managed by Chen Wu. It is said to be a horse market, but in fact it also includes the business of Yaxing and Xiaoyaosan. It is an extremely chaotic and profitable business.

The other horse market is here in the East Market. Although it is smaller in scale, it is no less popular than the restaurant and inn business. In particular, the people who deal with horses are basically Jianghu people. In this way, you can expand your network and meet many people from the south.

People go north, so this business is very enviable.

Half of the horse market here is under the control of Chu Yunqing and the other half is owned by the government. The same is true for Chen Wu's side, which is divided with the government.

But Chu Yunqing came here, of course, not just to collect the monthly payment and drink, but also for other important matters.

The tavern has two floors, and the second floor is for people to live in. The shopkeeper he was looking for was here.

The door at the corner was open. Apparently he knew he was coming. Chu Yunqing glanced downstairs and then went in.

After closing the door, in the simple room, a woman was grinding medicinal powder.

She was in her teens, wearing a light blue dress, with black hair like a waterfall, graceful figure, and very beautiful.

"Coming?" she said, "lay down first and wait for a while."

Chu Yunqing nodded and lay down on the long table beside him.

There was the sound of washing hands behind him, and then he felt an extra pair of hands on his lower back. Even though he was used to it, he still couldn't help but tremble.

Chen Wenjing pressed him gently and said, "Have you seen him?"

"During the day." Chu Yunqing looked at the clean ground and said in a calm tone, "He said that after this time, he would let me go back to the Yamen."

"Do you believe it?" Chen Wenjing smiled.

Chu Yunqing said nothing.

Chen Wenjing pressed her shoulder with a little force on her hand.

"I don't believe it," she said.

Chu Yunqing gritted his teeth and sighed, "There's nothing you can do if you don't believe me. Huanyu still relies on him."

Chen Wenjing said ‘hmm’.

Chu Huanyu, Chu Yunqing's biological brother, is also his only relative now. Now he is studying in the capital, relying entirely on An Qinghe's relationship and the money he sends every month.

This was also Chu Yunqing's excuse. Although An Qinghe never threatened him with this, he knew in his heart that if he didn't obey, he might be fine, but Chu Huanyu would become sad.

A thin layer of sweat broke out on Chen Wenjing's forehead.

"You must be tired. Otherwise, forget it. It's just a cover up anyway." Chu Yunqing wanted to get up.

"Lie down." Chen Wenjing used force on her hands.

Neither of them spoke, there was only the creaking sound of the table being pressed.

Chen Wenjing is also from the Yamen, and An Qinghe's fellow junior sister is also his confidant. She is usually responsible for contacting Chu Yunqing, passing on news, and also has the intention of monitoring.
