Chapter Thirty-Seven Prepare to take back the place
Ma Dequan said three words and left wisely. People who are poor are looked down upon. Since the eldest brother Yao Cuo had no reaction, he just said to see and then talk. Now that he spoke, Li Guolou said a few words, eldest brother Yao Cuo
I won't object to him going to C Elementary School
The team reported for duty. A person like him has been relegated to the cold palace by his eldest brother Yao Cuo. He has no oil and water and will not be flattered. If someone is willing to take him in, why not eldest brother Yao Cuo. Ma Dequan filled his stomach with high-quality tea
, wiped his mouth, and ran away.
Li Guolou didn't wait for his eldest brother Yao Cuo to ask, and first told the story of Wei Wenshao's murder. Everyone got the stolen goods. The murderer Xu Xiaohu, the accomplices Xiaoqin, and Wang Yixue all fell into the law.
Yao Cuo stroked his beard and squinted his eyes, listening as if he were reading a book. What he was thinking in his heart was not revealed on his expression. Although Yao Yong did not go to the Yamen to report, he was very interested in the murder case, and he also sat opposite Li Guolou.
Listen, there are not many people in the teahouse with more than a dozen tables. The neighbors are several tables away from their seats. Can't you hear what Li Guolou is saying?
Yao Cuo said: "Little Lizi, you are a blessed person, you are so lucky. I just don't have such good luck as you, and I am still sitting in this seat until now."
Li Guolou sighed and said: "Brother, don't say that, I know how to behave. In Ai Hai's transcript, the person who interrogated the case is your name. Brother, you have already handed it in. Brother, you won't blame me for making my own decisions."
Bar."
Yao Cuo glanced at Li Guolou with squinted eyes, and couldn't help but reveal a smile on his face. This kind of thing depends on understanding. As the eldest brother, he couldn't say it out loud. Ai Hai was quite sensible and taught the newcomer Li Guolou how to behave.
Yao Cuo asked: "How much did Ai Hai cost the second mistress?"
Li Guolou replied: "Ai Hai followed the old rules and took some hard-earned money. He didn't dare to take the two silver ingots. He said that if Master Wu knew about it, he would spit out four silver ingots. I would get one.
Two pieces of silver, Ai Hai said not to hand it over, this is the rule."
Yao Cuo said with emotion: "Since the rules have been set, they cannot be changed. If we lose, we will lose a little. In this way, there will be no future troubles. Even if it is an unjust, false or wrong case, there will be people above. You will understand in the future that it takes a lot of money to eat from our bowl of rice."
How much pressure to bear.”
Li Guolou asked with a playful smile: "Brother, I would like to ask what percentage our front-line people can get in a case like this?"
Yao Cuo glanced at him and said: "Don't be greedy, little Li. Usually you will get 20%. If it is a fatter case, there will be a reward. That's how a big family has a big business. I seem to have a lot of income, but only the only one that really goes into my pocket."
20% to 30%, when the luck is against you, you still have to pay it forward. Now the people above are also tightening their belts, and we have to share the master's worries."
Li Guolou sighed: "No wonder brother, you still live in this kind of house and do some small business. My sister-in-law has to be busy inside and outside. It's too hard. Brother, as long as you believe me, I will use your brains for you in the future.
The teahouse business is really not on the table."
Yao Cuo showed a smile and said: "I didn't notice it, you are an all-rounder. My sister-in-law wants to open a teahouse just to make it lively and enjoy seeing people coming in and out. In fact, you can also see how much money you can earn.
.Real rich families all
The walls are high and silent, and outsiders can't even see a glimpse of the inside. I open the door to make money, just to set up a line, say I am an official, but in fact I am an official, even a master is weighing on me. The territory is getting smaller and smaller.
, I just can’t afford it.”
Li Guolou lowered his voice and said: "Brother, Ma Dequan told me some things about our territory on the way. I think we used the gang members badly and made them think that we can't do without them. All those bastards are just
He dares to ride on our necks and shit and pee. I think we need to find another way so that we can take back all the territory."
Yao Cuo was shocked and stared at Li Guolou. He no longer dared to underestimate Li Guolou. As soon as he entered the Yamen, he saw the weak spot in the Yamen. Gangs are like a double-edged sword. It feels thorny when held in the hand. People are getting more and more
The more leisure you have, the less money you have. The bigger your losses are, the more dependent you are on the Green Gang. I used to see Han Dongchun, the leader of the Green Gang, calling him brother-in-law, but now when I have something to do, I go to Han Dongchun and it’s like meeting my eldest brother.
Little brother.
Yao Cuo couldn't sit still anymore. He took Li Guolou's arm and said, "Little Liz, you are having dinner at my house tonight. Now let's go inside to talk. It turns out that you are my Zhuge Liang. You were sent to my door by yourself. Haha."
Ha ha······"
When Sister-in-law Gu saw Yao Cuo bringing a foreign-style young man into the courtyard, she thought that a big case had happened and someone was coming to give gifts. After asking, she found out that it was her husband's subordinate. Seeing Yao Cuo's solemn introduction, it turned out that Li Guolou was
Coming from an official family with a background, Yao Gu immediately showed a humble attitude and immediately went to prepare for the banquet in the evening.
There are only two children in Yao Cuo's family, a seven-year-old boy and a two-year-old boy who is held by his mother. Including Yao Yong in the teahouse outside, there are only six people in the family.
Li Guolou was generous and said that he didn't bring any gifts. He just handed a banknote to Yao Gu as a meeting gift for the two children. He also praised Yao Gu for his unique vision and bought all the antiques. Yuan Ming
The stuff is so valuable.
Finally, Li Guolou added, "Sister-in-law, I have a large plate from the Northern Song Dynasty at home. I don't know if it's worth it. I'll bring that plate over and it will fit right on this shelf!"
Yao Cuo said suspiciously: "Xiao Lizi, you are not going to fool me with a fake. Several of my brothers have done this, and I have seen through them all."
Li Guolou sighed: "Brother, you insist on exposing me. I can only tell you the truth. It's worth a hundred taels. You can do it yourself."
Now Mrs. Yao Gu was laughing so hard that she couldn't even see her eyes. She wished she could recognize Li Guolou as her younger brother. She served tea with great affection, handed over towels, and worked for a while. Only Li Guolou and Yao Cuo were left in the living room.
Yao Cuo glanced at her, and Yao Gu left the living room door ajar before leaving. The two wanted to discuss life plans.
Yao Cuo said: "Xiao Lizi, don't mind, it doesn't matter if you say it. Let's work together to figure out how to save the current disadvantage. Even if what you say is wrong, we can still discuss a set of complete strategies."
Li Guolou said: "Brother, to be honest, there is no perfect strategy. If there is one, it's a lie. Just make yourself more courageous. In fact, we are just betting with the Qing Gang to see who will surrender first. There are several strategies, and it depends on the courage of the elder brother.
On which side."
Yao Cuo mentally agreed with Li Guolou's opening statement. There is no perfect strategy in the world. The Qing Gang has a history of hundreds of years and it is impossible to wipe it out. Even the emperor cannot do something, so how can he be qualified to say a perfect strategy.
Yao Cuo nodded "Yeah", and Li Guolou continued: "Brother, the first step is to take advantage of the Ax Gang's collision with the muzzle of the gun. We will beat up the drowned dog and use the case of Man Youyu to drive us out first."
I think the Youth Gang will help us with our territory. This may seem like we’re getting a lot of benefits, but it’s actually the worst way to do it.”
Yao Cuo nodded and said: "I don't want to see the Qing Gang becoming more powerful. This move is not advisable, and Mr. Bao will not agree to it."
Li Guolou said: "Brother, I am just talking about a possibility, and I don't want you to implement this method. The second method is just like now, just wait for several gangs to start fighting, and we will do nothing. Brother is still like this
Looks like, if you charge a small amount of money, you won’t be fat or starving to death. I really can’t wait for a few years.
It looks like you can't keep your position, big brother. There will be powerful characters on the stage. Let's leave the hair and leave no one behind. In this way, there will be a bright world, a storyteller in the capital, and new jokes. But all this has nothing to do with big brother.
Regardless of the relationship, no matter good or bad, the eldest brother can only plant flowers and grass in the yard."
Yao Cuo nodded and said: "That makes sense. I have started to grow flowers and grass, and no one takes me seriously. Even con men dare to seek bad luck on me. You are absolutely right, we must change."
Li Guolou said: "Okay! Since you said you want to change, eldest brother, I'll say it. It's best to have strong troops and horses. Big brother has a full force of men and horses at his disposal. Then we will naturally control a larger territory. Big brother is now short of quota."
, it seems that there are ready-made benefits, but without a lot of people to show their respect, the gains outweigh the losses. Do you think the Qinggang is taking the route of elite soldiers and strong generals? They are dispatched.
A large group of people, building momentum for themselves. I can say that if a fight starts and the Green Gang is a large group of people, I can wipe them all out with less than half of them. The Green Gang is actually a waste. Only the people above don't know.
We think they are still as strong as before. If we want to regain our territory, we will attack the Qinggang first and look for other gangs to attack. It is useless to treat the symptoms but not the root cause."
Yao Cuo sighed and said: "Little Lizi, I have thought about what you said, but there is nothing I can do. A clever woman can't make a meal without rice. Where can I find seventy people to come back? I can't afford to support them."
Li Guolou laughed and said: "Brother, you are worrying too much. I can say that in the future you can support two hundred brothers, and your annual savings will not be a few hundred taels of silver, but thousands of taels of silver, or even tens of thousands of taels of silver."
He leaned close to Yao Cuo's ear and said, "Xiao Cui from the Lucky Mahjong Hall can also get it."
Yao Cuo stood up and bowed to him: "Brother Xian, you will be my third brother from now on, and Wu Defu will be my second brother. If only this brat had the courage like you, I would have done it a long time ago. Fortunately,
You came just in time, I have never missed you in this life."
Li Guolou was actually thinking about himself. If he wanted to be Yao Cuo's confidant, he would talk freely and say whatever came to his mind. He didn't expect that his mouth was like a wild horse running wild, and he couldn't hold back what he said.
