The cold air is silent in the night, and the remaining ashes turn into ashes.
As dusk fell, Zhou Yeqing came to the old place again. It was a stove fire left by someone who did business during the day.
After picking through it with a wooden stick, there were still a lot of unburned charcoal fires. Zhou Ye was very happy. He looked very lucky that he didn't have to spend a "frozen and snowy" night tonight.
He has been in Wanjin City for more than three days, and has been wandering around the city, collecting as much information as possible.
When Zhou Yeqing faced Baihualou that day, it really put pressure on him. With such a big family fortune, Zhou Yeqing didn't believe that he didn't have enough people to fight. If that was the case, then rushing in rashly would be too shameful.
Wise.
"After all, I am here to solve the problem, not to risk my life." Zhou Yeqing left without thinking too much. Knowing yourself and your enemy, he has heard the saying that you can survive a hundred battles.
Tightening his clothes, Zhou Yeqing leaned against the fire and felt a little warmer. He took out the steamed buns he had made during the day and put them on a stick. With the caress of the fire, the big white steamed buns slowly turned into
Golden yellow, Zhou Yeqing's happiest moment has come today.
This was Zhou Yeqing's first bite of food today, and he didn't care if it was hot. He gnawed on the steamed buns while still thinking about the clues he got today.
It turns out that Wanjin City was originally a unit set up by the central government, but because of its remote location, it was difficult for the higher-ups to manage it. Over time, it became a private city.
The superiors cannot control it, and the subordinates dare not speak out. This is the current situation in Wanjincheng.
Besides, the original city lord of Wanjin City was named Lu Ye. This man did everything he said and did, and he was indeed a good master. However, he suddenly died when he went out for a hunting trip in the city. He was carried back with half of his body mutilated.
Although Lu Ye had been married for several years, he had no heirs. Then his brother-in-law came to power and became the new city lord.
The people below all say that there is something fishy in this matter, but if the people above do not conduct a thorough investigation, what is the use of just the people knowing about it?
Lu Ye's brother-in-law was named Xu Jinying. He was a handsome man and the younger brother of Lu Ye's wife, Xu Xiaoer. After Xu Jinying came up, he carried out large-scale construction projects, grabbed Lin Ba's land, and built Baihua Tower.
So Baihua Tower actually belongs to Wanjincheng, and behind it is the city lord Xu Jinying.
However, these are all anecdotes, whether they are true or not is another matter. Zhou Yeqing gnawed on the steamed buns, thinking about the rumors he heard during the day, and was glad that he did not rush in all of them.
Although many of the rumors are suspected of being exaggerated, as the saying goes, there is no smoke without fire, and it is still unclear how much can be spread. From this point of view, Baihua Building is not as simple as Zhou Yeqing thought.
"No wonder the people below dare to bully men and dominate women. It turns out there is such a way."
After eating a steamed bun, Zhou Yeqing felt better in his stomach. This was earned by Zhou Yeqing from helping with work during the day. Sitting in front of the charcoal fire, Zhou Yeqing took out a few small coins that the man left for him when he left, but he was not willing to use them.
"I don't know if uncle and the others have returned home." Zhou Yeqing sincerely hoped that the honest man could get his wish.
As the night grew darker, the fire lost its flame and turned into a pile of red ashes. Zhou Yeqing lay on his back, feeling warm and ready to fall asleep.
This stall faces the street, and the noises heard are louder. At night, Zhou Yeqing covered his ears, feeling helpless. "It's already midnight, why are there so many carriages?!"
As soon as one carriage left on the street, another one came. Zhou Yeqing's nerves were weakened and he sat up miserably.
"Hey~ wait a minute, this thing of mine is not strong enough, I need to let it go~"
"You are just a lazy cow, a lazy horse, and you pee a lot. Whenever something goes wrong, you choose this moment!"
"Ouch~ Ouch~ I really can't stand it anymore, just for a while~"
"Hurry up, you won't be able to see the good show if you're too late."
"Hahahahahaha, those girls have been fucked for several nights. I'm afraid they are all so happy."
"It's a pity that we don't have any money, otherwise hahahahahahahaha I would have to go up and stab her twice to enjoy herself."
"It's just a pity for the two milk babies..."
Behind the charcoal fire, Zhou Yeqing, who was originally sleepy, suddenly sharpened his eyes and stuck his head out to look at the carriage on the street.
"Where are you talking about?"
A man suddenly appeared from behind the stove and spoke, but the driver was so frightened that he started to curse, but when he started talking nonsense, he was blocked by the cold eyes of the young man.
The driver shuddered unconsciously, and then said quietly: "It's Baihualou~"
Hearing Baihualou, Zhou Yeqing's eyes turned colder, and a bad thought came to his mind.
"What do you mean by the two children you just mentioned?"
The other driver also came back, but in an instant he was grabbed by Zhou Yeqing and pushed to the ground, horrified.
"Hero! Hero! Spare your life, I said it, I said it~"
"A country man came to Baihualou, saying he was looking for his wife, but Baihualou wouldn't let him go, and even beat him. He did his wife's business in front of him for several nights...
....”
Zhou Yeqing's eyes widened after hearing this, and he threw the driver out of the car, causing him to fall over. Then he stood up and looked in the direction of the bright lights in the distance.
"Baihualou!"
Baihua Tower is in the best location in Wanjin City. At night, the lights are brightly lit, just like daylight, illuminating most of the city. The laughter of the men and women in the building can be heard throughout the sky, all night long. It is really a paradise on earth.
He, the manager of Baihualou, was sitting in front of the door, drinking tea with great interest.
"Which number is it today?"
A servant-like person behind him kept replying: "As for the manager, there are over a hundred today."
When Guanshi He heard this, he laughed out loud and said angrily to the bottom of the steps: "You heard it, my mother-in-law is really awesome, she can reach half the floor alone."
There was a man at the foot of the steps. His face was covered with blood. It had dried and flowed, and it had dried again, forming thick scabs on his body. When he heard what Guanshi He was saying, the man squirmed and knelt down, begging weakly.
"Master...please let her go...Thousands of mistakes are all my fault...please let her go..."
..."
He Guanshi looked at the man at the foot of the stairs playfully and took a sip of tea. This scene made him feel so comfortable. The process of turning a person into a dog was really wonderful.
The man knelt on the ground and begged, which only made everyone in the building laugh and laugh. They regarded it as a joke and a piece of entertainment.
There was a faint sound of the collision of flesh in the building, and a woman's feeble moan. The man was excited by the sound, and shouted repeatedly: "Master! I was wrong! I was really wrong, please let us go.
,I beg you!!!"
Excitedly begging for mercy, the man knelt up the steps, lay at Guanshi He's feet, and pulled on his trousers.
At first, Steward He was calm and happy, drinking tea leisurely, until the man grabbed his trousers, and soon the chief steward of Baihualou seemed to be contaminated by something disgusting, his face suddenly changed, and his eyebrows were cold.
Head.
"How dare you touch me, you bitch!" As he said that, the cup of scalding tea in his hand was poured hard on the man.
The man was trembling all over because he was burned, but he didn't even dare to cry out for fear of making the person in front of him angry again.
"Master... the little one deserves to die! The little one deserves to die!"
"snort!!!"
He Guanshi snorted coldly, raised his foot and kicked the man down with disgust on his face.
"You piece of shit! Figure out your own identity!!!"
"Yes! Yes! Yes! That's what I said."
The man was kneeling on the ground with blood dripping, and he continued to promise, extremely humble.
"Wow wow wow wow~wuwuwuwu~"
In the burden beside the wall, two children were frightened by this scene and burst into tears. Their childish voices were incompatible with the bustle of Baihua Tower.
Guanshi He looked at the two children very angrily, like hot oil mixed with ice water.
"There are still two bastards. I thought they were dead a long time ago. Hehehehe, the life of a dog is really hard."
"Come on, take it away!"
Two people walked out from behind and were about to take the child away. When the man saw this, he screamed: "Master! I beg you, I beg you, please let them go. The child is still young and ignorant, I beg you."
You..." He shouted to the man and kowtowed to his head. There was a thud, thud, thud, and blood spurted out in front of him. The man also made a pop in his mouth and vomited out blood, but he was helpless.
Crying and not daring to stop.
Two thugs each carried a basket and asked loudly: "What's the matter? Where are you going to throw this?"
At this moment, Guanshi He turned into a smiling face, pretending to think for a moment, and then said with a smile: "It's been at the door for several days, give me a bath, hey hey, throw it into the flower pond.
"
When the man heard what the steward said, blood was dripping from the corners of his eyes. This was his child.
"Master! I beg you, I beg you! No, no, no..."
After begging for mercy, the man saw that the steward was indifferent, so he turned around and rushed towards the thugs to save his child.
The two thugs laughed at the joke, and then they suddenly raised their feet. The man was kicked backwards and knocked down on the steps. Blood was pouring out of his mouth. His arms were lying weakly on both sides, both of them broken.
When everyone in the building saw this, they also became silent, and some people looked at each other. They were just here to have fun, and did not want to involve anyone's life, especially the two children.
"Management, that's almost enough."
"Don't use that child anymore. It's too inhumane."
"Yes, yes, goodbye, leave the child alone."
Some people in Baihua Tower had begun to dissuade them, and they really couldn't bear it. But Guanshi He didn't think so. He turned around and clasped his fists with a smile on his face, with a low eyebrow, but he turned around and faced
A little more ruthless.
He just wants to establish his authority by stepping on others! He wants everyone in front of him and behind him to be afraid of him.
Then Guanshi He winked, and the two thugs smiled and gestured, grabbing the basket and heading towards the flower pond. The two children cried extremely sadly, their little hands scratching in the direction of their father, with tears in their eyes.
The man's arms were broken at this moment, and blood stained his body and flowed down the steps. He watched helplessly as his two daughters were taken away. He tried his best to get up, but the blood underneath him became more and more, and his hands were like this
He was dragged by his side, just like him, unable to get up.
