When we come, we are two brothers, when we leave, we are three.
The "three-party transaction" that He Nan calls is actually very simple.
Yan Luo Zheng Qulai, a widower, and Chen Yanbi from the Maolin Chen family each saved a life. The former reached an unknown deal with He Nan. Although he was controlled by others, it was still profitable, while the latter also half-accepted the invitation.
Semi-voluntarily, he got on He Nan's carriage, which was going to an unknown destination - anyway, he was alone and had no purpose.
Of course, the economic losses He Nan caused to Zheng Qulai - mainly the huts and several warehouses that collapsed due to his "playing" - were written off. Not only that, the money he had robbed Chen Yanbi from before was given in full, but also
It’s a big “amendment”.
When leaving Lianglongtang Yanluo Village, He Nan suddenly felt that having Old Wei in his heart was really comforting - if He Nan was alone, he would probably be packed up with Chen Yanbi and buried in a pit.
He Nan was going south. Although Wei Kui knew a little bit about He Nan's purpose and intention, he didn't care. Not to mention Chen Yanbi. He now realized that it was not that simple to travel alone in the world.
Why not be happy if you can hug your benefactor’s thigh?
However, after experiencing this incident, He Nan has picked up his caution again and is more cautious than before - the image of him and Wei Kui is too eye-catching. It was okay that they were not famous before, but now they can't live together
Is there some conflict with people on the top of the mountain? Not everyone is like Zheng Qulai. There is a saying that a thousand-mile horse will fall down on a flat road, and a person who is good at water will be drowned in shallow water. There is no harm in being more careful.
In terms of conspicuousness, especially Old Wei's double halberds. Even if they were wrapped in linen, it would not be difficult for a skilled expert to detect that they were weapons, so he bought two pallets and placed an empty space on one of them.
The trunk and the three people's baggage were all placed in it. The other shelf was simply piled with fodder. Wei Kui's double halberds were wrapped and hidden in it.
Such a plain and ordinary image is much better. No matter how many times others look at them, it is because of Wei Kui's unusual height, rather than because they see that these three people have "intentions".
If there are books, it will be long, if there are no books, it will be short. Not long after, I will revisit my old place.
This time when he returned to Kuyun City, He Nan did not swim directly from the pier on the other side of the river. Instead, he chose to take a government ferry from another port to the south bank of the Rijiang River, and then take the land route from east to west to Kuyun City.
go.
Why go to all this trouble?
After Lu Ding provided He Nan with three "perpetrator" candidates, He Nan thought about it for a while. It is true that he wanted to catch the real murderer with a straight hook and bait, but these three targets should be divided into three.
A better one.
The lowest candidate is naturally the "Two Snakes" Shi Xiaowen, who is a loner and a loner, both good and evil. Although the demeanor of this lone ranger is consistent with that of the person that night, it is still difficult to find him.
It's like looking for a needle in a haystack.
The middle choice is Chao Mi, the "Little Dragon King of the Hun River". According to Lu Ding, this person is also a strong player. He is engaged in robbing the river in the Hun River area. He can escape the monks but not the temple. It is not difficult to find him.
, but the Hun River is the middle section of the Yue River. What does he want to cross half the world and run to the north just to stab him?
The best choice is naturally that the "Ship Ghost" of the Sihai Gang returns to Sitong. Although He Nan doesn't know who this person is, the Sihai Gang is one of the nine sects at least, so it is unlikely that he will do something that cannot be agreed upon.
It was such a reckless thing to do, not to mention that the Sihai Gang was the only one Lu Ding said had any interaction with He Nan and Wei Kui, and Kuyun City was the place where the incident happened, so it would be unjustifiable not to come.
Of course, He Nan has not let down his guard against the Sihai Gang. He Nan, who looks sanctimonious on the surface but is actually full of bad intentions, sees a lot of people. There must be many Sihai Gang spies at the docks of Kuyun City and the surrounding areas. If he rashly enters the city, he will be arrested.
What to do if someone dies? That’s why we have this circuitous route.
"Brother Chen." He Nan stopped the carriage, got into the carriage and patted Chen Yanbi: "Can I help you?"
Chen Yanbi nodded and said seriously: "My dear brother, it's okay to just say it."
He Nan twitched the corner of his mouth at Chen Yanbi. Looking at the evil smile on his face, he knew that he had not suppressed his fart well: "Brother Chen, please go to the city to inquire about the situation first. Old Wei and I are waiting for your news."
Chen Yanbi asked doubtfully: "Didn't you tell me this a long time ago?"
"Then where are you going to inquire about the news? Is it possible to catch everyone and ask them?" He Nan asked. He could see that Chen Yanbi really had no experience in the world.
"What if?" Chen Yanbi's answer was exactly as He Nan expected.
He Nan put his palm on the side of his neck and pressed his fingers on the back of his neck: "You are asking for directions, not for inquiring about Jianghu affairs."
Chen Yanbi hesitated and said: "Then where should I go? Who should I ask?"
"It's a brothel." Wei Kui poked his head in from the car window. Judging from the space of the carriage, if Wei Kui had to squeeze in, the three people would have to talk face to face.
Chen Yanbi looked at Wei Kui and then at He Nan in stunned silence, only to find that the attitudes of the two men were surprisingly consistent, with expressions of "No need to ask."
Chen Yanbi had never been fond of women in his life. Although he had all the conditions to visit a brothel, he had never set foot in a brothel. Seeing the two of them looking so commonplace, he couldn't help but be stunned and speechless.
"Don't think too much, Brother Chen." He Nan hunched over and came to Chen Yanbi's side: "There are many anecdotes in the Land of Wind and Moon. It's right to go there and ask."
"Oh, so that's it." Chen Yanbi nodded casually: "But I have never experienced anything like this. What if I mess up..."
"Simple." He Nan smiled, "Money can make the devil push the grindstone, and big money can make the grindstone push the ghost. This kind of place always only recognizes money and not people, and uses money to clear the way."
"After you enter the city, go to a good restaurant near the Sihai Gang's headquarters to eat and drink. But be sure not to get drunk. When you are paying, ask the boss which brothel is the best around. Go in
After that, ask the madam about the top courtesan here, but be sure not to ask for the price, otherwise it will appear that you are in trouble - you have to ask the courtean whether he is a prostitute or a prostitute before she takes the initiative to talk about the price. If it is a prostitute, then you should show off
Look like you are not interested, if you are selling yourself, then say you just want to listen to some music and have a glass of wine." Although he was talking about vulgar things, He Nan still said very seriously.
"Wait!" Chen Yanbi stretched out his hand to stop He Nan's words: "Why do you ask that?"
He Nan stretched out his hand into the baggage in the carriage and unfolded it corner by corner: "First of all, although a lot of money was made from Zheng Qulai, we are definitely not in a position to be the top brothel in a big city like Kuyun City.
If you can afford it, we must be prepared for long-term plans. But we must not let others look down on your status, as there will be many things that will be inconvenient to do in the future. Secondly, asking about oirans is just to show off financial resources, even if there is inexhaustible money
There is no need to have anything to do with her, because there are everyone in this group of old prostitutes, and you can't argue with them. If you really make people jealous, it will bring more trouble. In the end, no matter what the old bustard says, you just have to
On the contrary, just avoid the topic of oiran."
"Next, you need to introduce the topic to other girls. The girl you are looking for should not be too bad, preferably middle-class, because too few people will not be able to contact anyone who is too high-ranking - you have to ask the old madam
Ask about the affairs of these girls, especially when two men were jealous of the same woman and got into a bloody fight. If the madam doesn't want to say more, just give her some money. She won't follow.
Money can’t get by.”
"If you learn that there are girls among them who are related to people in the world, then you are not far from success - pick the one who talks the most freely from these girls - note that she is the one with the least control over her words.
Not the one with the sweetest mouth, because people with a sweet mouth tend not to talk too much about themselves, but try their best to compliment you, but you are not here to listen to her flatter you."
"Of course, don't act too nervous - just think that you are here to have fun and chat." He Nan finished this long paragraph in one breath, and his throat was about to smoke, but looking at Chen Yanbi
I still can't quite understand his expression.
"Uh... I'll do my best." Chen Yanbi was feeling really anxious now. To his ears, the twists and turns here sounded no simpler than the intrigues in the family.
"Don't worry, you can do it. I think you have the talent." He Nan said nonsense with a smile.
Chen Yanbi was a little in disbelief: "Really?"
"Yeah... among the three of us, you are the only one with the most talent - Wei is not good at dealing with women, and I... women can't deal with me. You are the tallest among the dwarfs."
He Nan said weakly.
