Cao Su immediately rejected the invitations from several major families.
Li Li hesitated and said: "Sir, I think the other party is quite sincere. He said that several big families have pooled some money together to reward the brothers who have fought hard."
Cao Su glared at him.
Li Li was stared at inexplicably. What's wrong, sir? Don't you usually like silver the most?
Cao Su sneered: "You want to bribe me with just a little money?"
Li Li said quietly: "There is also a large amount of food, grass and military equipment. I heard that the most skilled oiran from Sihaiyuan in the city was invited to join in the fun tonight..."
Cao Su said calmly: "I'm not interested in any of this. The main reason is that several big families are indeed sincere. It's not easy."
Li Li:..........
This city reveals an urban culture from beginning to end - Zhiqu.
From the sect to these families, everyone is soft from top to bottom.
Cao Su was deeply bored. No wonder Bai Cai and Gu Bo didn't want to make progress after they arrived here. People in the whole city were so obedient, so why did they go out to fight for life and death?
After the two walked down the city wall, Li Li reported to Cao Su about the house raid.
"In the home of Bai Cai and Gu Bo, the brothers found a large amount of silver, as well as all kinds of rare treasures, beautiful wives and concubines. Now they are all placed in their home, waiting for adults to inspect them!"
Cao Su angrily scolded the two rebels: "Baicai and Gu Bo have only occupied Guyue City for a long time, and they dare to act so arrogantly. They are simply beasts."
Li Li explained: "The main reason is that Gu Bo's home is relatively luxurious, while Bai Cai's home is very ordinary."
Li Li took Cao Su to Gu Bo's home.
After Gu Bo occupied Guyue, he occupied a high-rise mansion somewhere in Guyue.
The original family of the mansion was kicked out by Gu Bo.
Now this group of sub-family members were waiting eagerly outside the house. When they saw Cao Su coming, they knelt down in front of Cao Su with a "pop" sound.
"Master Qingtian, you have to make the decision for me!"
Cao Su was most annoyed by people kneeling when he saw them, so he shouted angrily: "Get up, don't kneel."
The family's surname was Li. When Uncle Li heard Cao Su calling him to stand up, he stood up timidly. Beside him were two young men from his family who were supporting him.
"Your house?"
"Yes, that old thief Gu Bo was ruthless and ruthless. He took over my big house and my land. He even took the little old man's favorite granddaughter and made him his concubine..."
When Uncle Li talked about his sadness, tears and runny nose flowed down his face.
Cao Su was upset when he heard this and cursed: "If that's the case, then why don't you get in touch with me after our army arrives? Why should I fight so hard if you act as an internal agent in the city?"
Uncle Li originally thought that Cao Su would scold Gu Bo and then return the house to him as a matter of course.
Unexpectedly, Cao Su actually questioned him in turn. This was something he had never thought about before, and he immediately panicked.
There was another "pop" sound and he fell to his knees.
He shouted: "Master Qingtian."
Being kept kneeling by such an old man, Cao Su cursed secretly and moved his horse two steps away: "Get up, don't kneel."
Cao Su didn't really want to embarrass the Li family.
It's just that when he was fighting Wan Pingjun outside, these people were watching the show. When he came in, they started to pretend to be flattery, trying to get benefits from him.
How can there be such a good thing in the world?
After all, he is a murderous rebel, not a philanthropist.
"Li Li, help me up."
Cao Su considered the influence of public opinion and asked Li Li to dismount first to stabilize the opponent.
After all, they are officers and soldiers, and their conduct style will always be different from that of rebels.
Cao Su stepped into the Li family mansion.
This mansion was indeed huge. The front yard alone was hundreds of feet away. Cao Su walked all the way to the square in the house. At this time, the house was brightly lit, countless torches were held high, and dozens of rebels occupied the house.
The huge crowd knelt on the ground.
There are several large boxes in the square.
Cao Su walked over and opened the boxes one by one to inspect them.
It was full of people's wealth and money that Gu Bo had plundered greedily. In just a few months, he had made tens of thousands of taels of money.
He is not good at fighting, but his ability to search is first-rate.
"Sir, here are the wives and concubines that Gu Bo took by force."
Li Li introduced to Cao Su. Cao Su turned around and saw a group of pretty girls kneeling on the ground, crying softly, and none of them dared to raise their heads.
No wonder the uprisings would fail after a period of time. This kind of loose organization did not form a strong institutional mechanism.
Just relying on passion will ultimately lead to the old feudal path.
The only meaning is to shake the foundation of dynasty governance and promote the collapse of this towering tree faster.
"Sir, these women..."
A chief came to ask Cao Su for advice, with eagerness in his eyes.
Cao Su felt that it was very difficult and said in a deep voice: "With so many people, maybe some of them are spies from the Wanping Sect."
"ah?"
Shi Chang was stunned for a moment and then said: "Then why don't we all send them to the Lord's house for strict interrogation?"
The girls below all cried and begged for mercy: "Sir, please spare my life. The civilian woman is definitely not a spy of the Wanping Sect. I hope you will understand clearly!"
Cao Su patted Shi Chang's shoulder.
Everyone was stunned and didn't understand what it meant.
After Li Lao'er followed Cao Su into the house, he felt more and more sad after seeing things and thinking about people.
Among the wives and concubines that Gu Bo forcibly took, one was his granddaughter.
When the granddaughter saw her grandfather, her eyes immediately turned red, and the two hugged each other and cried.
"Sir, my granddaughter is definitely not a spy, but she was taken by Gu Bo forcefully!"
Li Lao'er finally toughened up and came to argue with Cao Su.
Cao Su smiled and said, "What evidence do you have?"
"I..." Mr. Li was suddenly speechless.
Suddenly, he was so blessed that he promised Cao Su: "Sir, I am willing to send my family disciples to your army as a guarantee!"
Um?
The two grandsons who were originally supporting Mr. Li.
With a "swish" sound, his face turned pale.
Cao Su laughed, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
He strode away from the Li family's house.

Li Li took Cao Su all the way to the place where several big families were preparing for their night banquets.
These big families are quite different from the big families in Yuncheng.
The big families here are not like the big families in Yuncheng, who control most of the city's wealth, manpower, and even the right to speak.
The several big families here are relatively prosperous in their family businesses.
In terms of the value of force and influence, there is no sect like this.
Therefore, the family's power is relatively weak. This was also vaguely revealed when talking to Cao Su.
Cao Su drank a lot of wine and drank a thousand cups without getting drunk.
I exchanged glasses with the heads of several big families, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
"After our big families here expressed their stance to you, you are in the city. You need people, money, and food. As long as you say a word, our families will get things done for you."
When Cao Su heard this, he held the hands of the heads of several major families and was very moved.
"In this way, across the ancient border, the major families should take the lead. If there is anything you can do to use me, Cao, in the future, the family heads can just say it's okay."
The family heads are very insecure and what they want is Cao Su's words.
Both parties have their own needs and are pleased with each other.
"How long will Mr. Cao stay in Guyue?"
One of the family heads asked.
Cao Su smiled and said: "The time is uncertain. It should be according to General Qin Hu's arrangement. If General Qin Hu defeats the Wanping Army in Xunshan City, he will definitely mobilize a large army to come to Guyue in the future."
Although Xunshan City is also a big city, it is not comparable to Guyue.
Guyue was the capital of the former dynasty, and its history, politics, and topography far surpassed Xunshan City.
If Qin Hu's 100,000-strong army defeated Taoist Tianniu, wouldn't the resting place of this 100,000-strong army be in Guyue City?
These families also thought of this, so they made great efforts to make a fuss about Cao Su.
With Cao Su's achievements today, he will surely prosper in the future and become a popular figure next to General Right.
So when several big families heard Cao Su's words, they were very excited and felt that they had made the right investment.
The night banquet lasted until midnight. Amidst the singing and dancing, Cao Su prepared to leave.
"Master Cao, please don't leave. It's rare that Miss Le from Sihaiyuan is here today. Why don't you let Miss Le stay with you?"
A family head grabbed Cao Su and insisted on pushing the invited oiran to Cao Su.
Cao Su looked up and saw the oiran who was dancing in the audience with a peach-shaped face and lowered his head shyly.
