Chapter 442 It turns out that you have no money? What to wear in a brothel if you have no money!
Cheng Xu and Du Xu Chengdu walked along the rain eaves on the street, followed slowly by their entourage and carriage.
Knowing that Cheng Xu was in a hurry, they all asked Chengdu to quickly explain their purpose of coming, using the same method of looking for relatives.
"General, what you are saying is that you want me to introduce you to Master Jiu?"
"That's right. As long as you can see Master Jiu, Chief Cheng doesn't need to take care of other things."
After hearing clearly the purpose of Du Xu's visit to Chengdu, Cheng Xu deliberately asked this nonsense question to delay time, and his mind was spinning rapidly.
Under the publicity of some young masters in Yanchuan, what happened to Zhao Cheng and Du Xuchengdu in front of Hongxiu Tower is no longer a secret. Cheng Xu, who is the chief clerk of the prefecture, certainly knows about it.
In this matter, he only needs to extract the most critical information.
Du told Chengdu that he and Zhao Cheng did not get along and suffered a loss.
It's not an ordinary loss.
But Du Xu Chengdu wanted to find Master Jiu at this time.
Is it really to find relatives?
How can you be in the mood to find some distant relative after you have just been humiliated like this?
There must be something fishy about this!!
"Master Cheng?" Du urged Chengdu and quickly thrust a piece of gold into Cheng Xu's hand.
Cheng Xu quickly grabbed Du Xu Chengdu's hand and said, "General, this is absolutely impossible."
"Take the wine."
"It's really not possible."
Cheng Xu quickly pulled his hand away and said, "Because I can't date Master Jiu even if I'm a low-ranking official."
Du Xu Chengdu's expression changed immediately, and he said in a bad tone: "As Master Cheng, if a gang leader wants to accomplish something, he needs to beg you."
Cheng Xu asked: "Why did the general come to see me? Who told you that I can date Master Jiu?"
Everyone called to Chengdu: "Li Zhi and Zhu Guoneng."
Cheng Xu immediately knew the situation that Du Xu Chengdu could grasp, but he shook his head and said: "What the official said is not false. General Anyuan, you don't know something. This ninth master has business dealings with the prefect's mansion.
It is true that I am in charge of this matter. But the person they are dealing with is not Master Jiu. I have met him but am not familiar with him."
Du appealed to Chengdu to see that Cheng Xu didn't seem to be faking, and immediately said angrily: "A gang leader is so rampant, you should take care of it!"
Cheng Xu smiled and said: "To put it harshly, I am just a bookkeeper. How can I have such ability?"
Du Xuchengdu said angrily: "If you can't even date him, who else can?"
Cheng Xu thought quickly and said, "There is someone who should be able to help the general."
"who?"
"Hongxiu Tower, Zheng Hongxiu."
Looking at Du Xu Chengdu's hurried away figure, Cheng Xu smiled slightly.
Of course what he told Du Xu Chengdu was a lie. To the Yanchuan underground gang, Cheng Xu was their God of Wealth. Although Cheng Xu could not be always available to Master Jiu, it was very difficult to arrange a meeting.
Easy thing.
But Cheng Xu didn't dare.
He was worried that Chengdu was going to kill someone with a borrowed knife.
But he didn't want to completely put it off, fearing that he would cause more trouble in Chengdu and cause things to get out of control.
So he kicked the ball to Zheng Hongxiu.
Zheng Hongxiu is Zhao Cheng's confidant and knows Zhao Cheng's behavior better than him and knows how to deal with it most appropriately.
"Li Zhi, Zhu Guoneng, Zheng Hongxiu and I..." Cheng Xu couldn't help but smile, thinking to himself, Chengdu, you are really a talent.
You have to deal with Zhao Cheng, but the people seeking help are all Zhao Cheng's people.
The more Cheng Xu thought about it, the more funny it became, and he happily got on the carriage.
…
Red Sleeve Tower.
In the private room on the second floor, everyone in Chengdu felt like they were sitting on pins and needles. After waiting for a while to see Zheng Hongxiu, he still didn't come, and he felt even more anxious.
Although the incident happened outside, he always felt that there were countless pairs of eyes staring at him, even though the private room was partitioned on three sides.
It's a psychological effect.
When everyone in Chengdu was in a hurry, a girl with light makeup walked in.
This girl is the Xiangchen girl who danced on the bird stage when Hongxiu Tower opened. Now she has sneaked into Zheng Hongxiu's side and has become Zheng Hongxiu's right-hand man.
Xiangchen opened her hand, and in her palm was a piece of gold given to her by Du Yuchengdu, and said, "Mother Zheng asked me to ask you about whom you want to inquire about."
Du appealed to Chengdu and said, "Let Mother Zheng come and talk to me herself."
Xiangchen said: "Mother Zheng said that with a status like General Anyuan, it is definitely not a trivial matter to inquire about. So this little gold is not enough. The general will either leave with the gold or add more money."
"So Mother Zheng knows who I am." Du Xuchengdu smiled slightly, put his hand into his pocket, and said: "It's really expensive to get information from you!"
Xiangchen said: "It's not cheap to find a girl here."
Du Xucheng suddenly choked up. He didn't expect that he would be silenced by a geisha.
Xiangchen collected two more ingots of gold, then turned around and said, "General, please follow me to the third floor. Mother Zheng will be there in a minute."
The privacy on the third floor is very good, which makes Duxu Chengdu feel better.
Who would have thought that General Anyuan cared about the privacy of the brothel not because he wanted to do that, but simply because he didn't want to be watched.
"General Anyuan wants to see Master Jiu. It's a trivial matter. I can help him."
After hearing the whole story clearly, Zheng Hongxiu agreed.
Things suddenly became smoother. Duxu Chengdu found it difficult to adapt to the situation and asked, "Can we really see each other?"
Zheng Hongxiu asked: "Why, is it difficult to see Master Jiu?"
"Uh...haha!" Du Xuchengdu smiled awkwardly: "He is a gang boss after all. I thought it would not be that easy to see him."
"In this industry, we often deal with gangsters. Master Jiu and I are familiar with each other."
Zheng Hongxiu said carelessly: "I can arrange for you to meet Jiu Ye, but the cost..."
"Money is a trivial matter!" Du said in Chengdu, eager to see the person. Everything else didn't matter. After all, Yu Changsi gave him a thousand taels of gold, so he was not short of money.
"Mother Zheng, if you want anything, just ask!"
Zheng Hongxiu thought for a moment and said: "General Anyuan sacrificed his life and blood for Dajing to protect the peace of our people. Logically speaking, I shouldn't ask for money. But... I am a businessman, so I just point to this business.
We have to feed so many people, so just charge a nominal consulting fee!"
"How much, I'll give it to you."
"One hundred taels of gold."
Duxu Chengdu suddenly choked up, widened his eyes and said: "One hundred taels of gold? Is this still a symbolic closing point??"
Zheng Hongxiu was even more surprised than Du Xu Chengdu, and asked: "Is this a lot? General Anyuan, our best girl, is worth two hundred taels of silver an hour."
Du Xucheng's head was buzzing.
Two hundred taels of silver an hour!
If you stay overnight for five hours, it will be one thousand taels of silver!
His one hundred taels of gold is just enough to spend the night with the girl?!
Are you really trying to steal it??
Du Xu Chengdu complained wildly in his heart, but it was difficult to refute because he found that Zheng Hongxiu looked at him with more and more disdain.
That look seemed to say: "So you have no money? How can you pretend to be in a brothel if you don't have money!"
Du asked Chengdu to turn around and leave.
Zheng Hongxiu asked: "The general has not seen Master Jiu?"
"I'm going to get the money! I don't have that much gold with me!!" Du Xu Chengdu walked out of the room angrily.
