"A high official in the capital?"
Old Liu frowned and thought for a while before nodding lightly.
"It seems to have made an impression."
Having said this, he looked at Yu Xiaoyu warily and asked:
"From your accent, you're not from here. Why do you ask?"
"Why are you asking so many questions? Do you still want the money?"
Yu Xiaoyu frowned and shook the money in his hand angrily.
"I just ask, you just answer. As long as your answer satisfies me, the money will be yours."
"Let me ask you, is that senior official who came back from the capital named Xu?"
When Old Liu Tou heard this, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes. But he hid it well and was not noticed by Yu Xiaoyu.
"After you reminded me like this, I seem to have remembered it. However, the Master Xu you mentioned does not seem to be from Shuizhen. Young man, did you remember it wrong?"
"Not from your water town?"
Yu Xiaoyu frowned and looked at Yang Dong with some doubts in his eyes.
Old Liu Tou was a little anxious, so he shook his calloused palms and said:
"Okay, young man, I have told you everything you want to ask, can you give me the money now?"
"This... will happen."
Yu Xiaoyu nodded and was about to hand out the broken silver in his hand when suddenly Yang Dong's voice came to his ears.
"Wait a minute, this old guy is lying to you."
As soon as these words came out, Yu Xiaoyu was stunned.
Over the years, he has been domineering in the army, and he has always been the only one who deceived others. When did someone actually deceive him?
Naturally, he would not doubt Yang Dong's words. After all, the other party is his master!
So he stepped forward, grabbed Lao Liutou by the collar, and said angrily:
"Old man, how dare you lie to me!"
Lao Liu subconsciously covered his head and began to scream.
"Kill someone, kill someone!"
"What the hell!"
Yu Xiaoyu was about to raise his fist to show Lao Liutou his fist, which was as big as a sandbag, but was stopped by Yang Dong.
"Wait a minute, don't be impulsive."
After Yang Dong finished speaking, he looked at Old Liu Tou and said in a deep voice:
"Old man, did someone tell you something?"
"Absolutely not!"
Old Liu patted his chest, stared at Yang Dong with a sly look, and continued:
"I, Mr. Liu, am a leader, how can I lie to others?"
Yang Dong smiled noncommittally, then took out a silver coin from his arms and waved it in front of the other party's eyes.
Old Liu Tou’s eyes were straightened at that time!
Such a big ingot of silver should be at least ten taels, right?
"Okay, since you don't know Master Xu's whereabouts, this money will be saved."
Yang Dong pretended to sigh helplessly, and was about to take the silver ingot back into his arms, but was stopped by Old Liu Tou.
"Young man, why are you looking for Mr. Xu?"
"It's a long story..."
Yang Dong sighed softly and winked at Yu Xiaoyu. Yu Xiaoyu immediately took a step back, saying that he would not continue to take action.
Yang Dong then said with some distress:
"To be honest, we are actually guys from Qunfang House in Beijing."
"Have you ever heard of Qunfanglou?"
"How could this old man never hear it?"
A trace of yearning flashed in Old Liu Tou's eyes.
"It is said that it is the favorite place for the dignitaries in the capital. The women there are all like fairies!"
Yang Dong nodded and continued:
"It seems that my father-in-law has also heard the name of our Qunfang Building, but... what a pity!"
When Old Liu Tou heard this, his expression was slightly startled.
"Young man, where did you start talking about this pity?"
Yang Dong waved his hands helplessly, hesitated for a moment, and then said:
"This Mr. Xu has been working as a prostitute in our Qunfang Building for several years. The shopkeeper asked us to come over to collect the bill, but we couldn't find him."
Having said this, he sighed again,
"That's a full thousand taels of silver!"
As soon as these words came out, Lao Liutou immediately took a breath of cold air.
"One thousand taels of silver? Old Xu is already this old, and he can still do it?"
Hearing this, Yu Xiaoyu's eyes lit up slightly.
Sure enough, this old Liu Tou knew Mr. Xu. Mr. Yang deserves to be Mr. Yang, but I am still too young after all!
Yang Dong patted Lao Liutou on the shoulder, with a specious smile on his face.
"Old man, you don't understand this. Do you think visiting a brothel is just for that kind of thing?"
"What if?"
Old Liu Tou's curiosity has obviously been aroused. He has only two hobbies in his life, one is money and the other is women.
Although he has never been to Qunfang Tower, he also knows that there are many flowers and plants in Qunfang Tower.
It's a pity that, with his status, he has no chance in this life.
Yang Dong saw what Old Liu Tou was thinking, so he continued:
"I don't know, but our Qunfang House is already different from ordinary brothels. What we focus on now is realism!"
"Reality? Can something like this be fake?"
Old Liu Tou looked puzzled, waiting for Yang Dong's next words.
Yang Dong did not delay, but continued:
"Have you ever thought about knocking on the widow's door at night? Staying at a nunnery? And..."
Old Liu Tou never dreamed that such a method could be played in a brothel!
Knocking on the widow's door at night...it's so exciting just thinking about it!
He couldn't help but swallow, and Yang Dong immediately struck while the iron was hot,
"Old man, we really have no other choice. As long as you can lead us to Mr. Xu, how about we not only give you money, but also take you to the Qunfang Tower in the capital?"
At this moment, Old Liu Tou's mind was filled with the matter of knocking on the widow's door at night.
He has always been a thief with a thief's heart but without the courage to do this kind of thing.
Hearing that Qunfang Tower could actually experience this, my mind suddenly became hot.
At this moment, he even forgot the man's instructions and said impatiently:
"I can take you to find this Master Xu, but...he may not be willing to see me."
At this point, Old Liu Tou seemed a little worried that Yang Dong and Yang Dong might misunderstand, so he quickly added.
"The main reason is that I am not very familiar with Mr. Xu."
Yang Dong smiled nonchalantly and directly put the silver ingot into Old Liu Tou's hand.
"Old man, let me believe you for once!"
…
Southwest of Water Town, there is a small village called Xujia Village.
Old Liu Tou and Yang Dong sneaked into the edge of the village.
Beside a deserted low wall,
Old Liu Tou rubbed his hands, looked around, and then said slowly:
"I'm telling you, we will enter Xujia Village soon, so you must not cause trouble."
"This Xujia Village is not simple! I heard that there are experts brought back from the capital by Mr. Xu."
"You don't know that this master's strength is frightening. Last fall, a group of bandits came. I heard that this master killed thirty-two bandits with one knife per man!"
