When Su Yingxiong found Li Qi again after delivering the goods, he gave him a very generous reward, a whole ingot of gold.
Li Qi reluctantly accepted it, saying you're welcome, but he had already put the gold into his arms.
"Brother Li, I have a question that I would like to ask you."
It is said that money makes a man bold. After Su Yingxiong got rich, he was no longer as submissive as before. He looked a bit like a nouveau riche.
He no longer calls Li Qi Brother Li, but brother Li.
Li Qi doesn't care about this. Anyway, as long as you give me money, you can call me stinky brother.
"I don't know what's going on?"
"Brother Li must have taken a boat to go south. Now that we have arrived in Jincheng, I wonder where we are going next?"
Good question!
Li Qi said in his heart: I don't know where I am going, but judging from this little fat man's intention, could it be that he has already thought about it for me?
"Well, to be honest with Brother Su, I have been thinking about this issue these days. I was originally going south to find relatives, but it was snowing so hard outside that I had no idea for a while."
Su Yingxiong nodded, his small eyes revealing a hint of shrewdness: "Brother Li, actually I came to Jincheng not only to transport wood, but also for other important matters..."
"Oh? I wonder if Brother Su has anything else to do?"
Su Yingxiong glanced at Zhang Chuang, who was concentrating with his eyes closed, and Xiao Man, who was eating some pastry, with a somewhat hesitant expression.
Li Qi smiled and said: "Brother Su, if you have anything to say, it doesn't hurt to say it."
"To be honest, one of the other things I came to Jincheng for is to collect money."
"Collect money? What money?"
Su Yingxiong took out a very unique jade pendant: "Our Su family has some property in Jincheng, and we send people here to collect money every year. This year, I made my father unhappy, so I volunteered to take on this job."
On myself..."
Li Qi nodded: "Did Brother Su encounter some trouble?"
"Brother Li is really smart. I can't hide anything from you."
This is not nonsense, do you dare to be more obvious?
Li Qi couldn't help but feel contempt in his heart. Is this little fat guy still playing tricks on him?
I don’t even think about it, but I am a big fan of "The Legend of Zhen Huan". As the saying goes: If you have watched Zhen Huan a hundred times, you will know how to appreciate it if you don't know how to fight in the palace.
"Brother Su, is there anything I can do to help?" Li Qi smiled calmly.
"I think Brother Li is very intelligent and knowledgeable in business..."
"Let's get down to business." Li Qi said angrily.
Su Yingxiong smiled and said: "It's just the money I paid for consigning the goods. Some of it is not enough to pay back to Hu Yingyuan. I originally wanted to come to Jincheng and get some from here, but who knew that the family's industry in Jincheng was already facing closure...
…”
It turns out that the little fat man embezzled the family's money and the hole was too big to make up for, so he wanted to bring himself back to life?
No wonder I was so generous just now. I just gave myself a piece of gold without saying a word. I dare you to wait for me here.
"What is your family's property in Jincheng?" Li Qi asked.
Su Yingxiong smiled obscenely: "Brothel."
As soon as he picked up the tea and wasn't ready to drink it, Li Qi almost spat out: "Butterhouse?"
"Yes, although my family is mainly engaged in the timber business, in fact, the biggest industry is brothels."
That’s awesome!
Li Qi really wants to give this fat man a one-click triple combo.
"Why can't a good brothel continue to operate? As far as I know, this business is quite popular in Jincheng. I think the business of Yanyu House is quite good."
Su Yingxiong got angry when he heard about Yanyu Tower: "It's that Yanyu Tower. They took away 70% of Jincheng's business less than a year after they opened. There are so many brothels in Jincheng, and they only get the remaining 30%. How can they do that?"
What about the points?"
"I see. Then what's the name of your brothel?"
"Hongcui Tower."
This name is really red and green.
"It's not impossible if you want me to help you, but..."
Su Yingxiong smiled and took out a banknote from his sleeve: "Brother Li, I understand, I understand everything."
…
Ever since Huan'er followed Li Qi that day and found out that he had gone to a brothel, she had been filled with contempt and complaints when she came back.
Tu Boshu was a little disappointed. He didn't expect that Li Qi, who looked serious, was actually a lecher.
What she hates most in her life is lechers!
"Are you sure you saw him go in that night?"
"Miss, I am sure, definitely and definitely!"
"Could it be that I saw it wrong?"
"How could I be wrong? The way he walks, I can recognize him from two streets away."
Tu Boshu sighed quietly in his heart. He originally thought about asking Li Qi to help, but now it seems...
"Brother Tu! Is Brother Tu here?"
There was a knock on the door, and Huan'er glanced at his young lady: "Miss, do you want to open the door?"
Tu Boshu raised his chin: "Go and see what he wants from me."
Huan'er opened the door and glared at Li Qi fiercely.
After feeling this look, Li Qi was a little confused. What's going on with this girl?
I haven't offended you, why do you have to show off to me every time?
Or are all maids in this era like this?
He couldn't help but think of Xiaoman again...
"I wonder what Brother Li wants from me?"
"Brother Tu, I came here today to ask you to go somewhere together."
"Where?"
Li Qi smiled and said as if "the secret must not be leaked": "You will know when you go... But, you can only go alone. As for the maid, don't go."
"Why?" Huan'er puffed up her cheeks and asked.
"That's not the place for you."
Hearing these words, Huan'er realized something and looked at Tu Boshu beside him with wide eyes. Just as he was about to speak, Tu Boshu waved his paper fan: "Then it's better to be respectful than obey your orders. Today I will sacrifice my life to accompany you, even if it means it's a dragon's pond or a tiger's den."
I also admit it."
"It's not like the Dragon Pond and the Tiger's Den. It's definitely a good place." Li Qi said and put his arm around Tu Boshu's shoulders.
This action startled Tu Boshu, and Huan'er beside him almost screamed.
"Huh? Why does Brother Tu look a little ugly? Is he sick?"
Li Qi raised his other hand, put it on Tu Boshu's forehead, touched it, and said to himself: "I don't have a fever either."
Tu Boshu's heartbeat was so fast at this moment. When had she ever been treated like this by a man?
A hug on the shoulders and a touch on the head?!
Li Qi was so happy that he asked you to dress up as a woman... No, I asked you to dress up as a man. I want you to dress up as a man. I want to see how long you can keep pretending.
Before Tu Boshu could react, Li Qi put his arm around his shoulders and walked out of the room. He said to Huan'er in the room: "Huan'er, stay at home and don't run around. I'll take your house in a while."
Young master, send it back."
Huan'er came back to his senses, looked at the closed door, and stamped his feet anxiously, what should he do?
