Master Jia frowned, put his index finger on the table, and said, "I have heard about Laicai Gambling House. Now the murderer has been arrested. Could it be that these murderers are related to Secretary Yang?"
"That's not true." The head of the house waved his hand and then said, "But I heard that the person behind Laicai Gambling House is our Secretary Yang. Now that the gambling house has changed its owner, our Secretary Yang The officials have cut off the money from the gambling house."
"So he invited us to come to Caicai Gambling House?" Master Jia frowned.
In other words, Laicai Gambling House would be eaten by others. With his status, as long as he speaks, he will always give some face. But now Laicai Gambling House is the property of Huzi Banner. As a master, his face can be done elsewhere, but in Huziqi The word flag is not easy to use.
The housekeeper picked up the teapot, poured tea into the cup, and said, "Drink tea. Secretary Yang will come back later to see what he says. We should eat and drink."
As he said that, he pushed the teacup he had just poured tea in front of Master Jia.
Picking up the teacup, Master Jia took a sip, put down the teacup, and said puzzledly, "Since you guessed what he was thinking, why did you come to the banquet? This banquet is not delicious."
"The soldiers are coming to cover up the water and the earth. If someone invites you to drink, it will be free!" The housekeeper grinned.
At this time, the curtain of the private room was lifted, and Yang Guangyu walked in from the outside. He said with a smile, "The white meat here is good. You two should try it later."
After he sat back at the table, the restaurant waiter came to the private room with a tray, placed dishes one after another on the table, and finally put down two bottles of wine before leaving.
Yang Guangyu picked up the wine jug and filled a glass for Master Jia and the housekeeper respectively. Finally, he raised the wine glass and said, "Two of you, let's have a drink."
"Yes, touch one first." The housekeeper put down her chopsticks and raised her wine glass.
Master Jia also raised his wine glass, touched it with the other two people over the food and wine, took it back to his mouth, took a sip, and put it aside.
"Come, try this white meat, it tastes very good." Yang Guangyu greeted enthusiastically.
The housekeeper picked up a piece with chopsticks, put it on the plate in front of him, dipped it in the prepared seasoning, and then put it into his mouth to eat.
After swallowing it, he pointed at the white meat on the table and said to Master Jia, "Try it, it tastes really good."
Master Jia picked up a piece with his chopsticks, finished eating, nodded, and said, "It tastes very good. I didn't expect that the white meat from our Lingqiu restaurant is so good."
"If you two like to eat it, I will ask my clerk to prepare two portions when you go back and deliver them to your house." Yang Guangyu said with a smile.
Master Jia waved his hand and said, "I'll forget it. It's okay to eat this kind of meat at first, but it will feel greasy after eating too much."
"Master Jia doesn't want it. Prepare one for me. I'll take it back when I leave." The housekeeper said with a half-eaten piece of white meat in his mouth.
Yang Guangyu smiled and said, "I'll tell the guys later and ask them to prepare an extra portion of white meat."
As he said that, he looked at Master Jia and said, "The wine in this restaurant is good. Master Jia needs to drink two more glasses."
Master Jia nodded.
Naihe felt uneasy, so he picked up the wine glass and only took a sip.
Yang Guangyu picked up the wine glass and said, "I invite you two to come this time. I am a brother and I have something to ask of you. I also ask you two brothers to give me this face."
Hearing this, Master Jia frowned.
The owner of the house on the other side raised his glass and took a sip. After putting down his glass, he said, "Secretary Yang is out of touch. You and I work together in the same yamen. You can ask for anything, as long as it is something that can be done, brother." Never refuse.”
"Brother, thank you very much for being here." Yang Guangyu bowed his hand towards him, then looked at Master Jia and said, "Thank you also, Master Jia."
Master Jia's face sank.
He hasn't promised anything yet, but from Yang Guangyu's words, it seems that he has already promised something.
However, he did not fall out immediately. He wanted to hear why Yang Guangyu had brought them here, and whether it was really about Laicai Gambling House, as the person from the household said.
Yang Guangyu continued, "What do you think of the Tiger Flag?"
When it came to the main topic, the housekeeper sat upright and took back the chopsticks he had extended.
Master Jia clasped his fingers on the wine glass and said, "If you have anything to say, Secretary Yang, you might as well say it directly."
Yang Guangyu looked at Master Jia and the housekeeper, and then said, "I think even if I didn't tell you, you two know the details of the Tiger Flag. It's just that for some reasons, you were able to clear your identity. In our case, Lingqiu opened an iron farm, ran a mule and horse business, and even several villages outside the city were obtained by them through clever means of robbery, but in the end they could not escape the word "bandit".
At this point, he stopped and looked at the other two people at the same table.
Master Jia and the housekeeper did not answer the call.
Yang Guangyu added, "In the past, they could just leave it alone outside the city, but now they have reached into the city and cut off a lot of people and money. I guess you both have suffered a lot as well!"
"I'm a rough man, Secretary Yang, you might as well say it straight, there's no need to beat around the bush." The housekeeper said.
"Then I'll tell you the truth." Yang Guangyu said, "Hu Ziqi controls the Dongshan Iron Farm and has a mule and horse business. Xujiazhuang is also a cornucopia. Aren't you greedy when you look at such a big piece of fat?"
Master Jia, who was sitting in the front seat, shook his hands and said hesitantly, "You, you want to deal with the Tiger Flag?"
Yang Guangyu shook his head slightly and said, "It's not me, it's us."
As he spoke, he made circles on the three of them with his fingers, meaning the three of them.
The housekeeper looked at Yang Guangyu seriously and said solemnly, "What can we do if we are greedy? The three of us can't move the tiger flag at all. And if these words are spread today, I believe that within three days, the bodies of the three of us will be dead." Appeared in the ditch outside the city."
Yang Guangyu smiled and said, "It's definitely not enough for the three of us alone, but what about the garrison office?"
After speaking, he looked at the other two people at the table with a smile.
Master Jia's hand on the wine glass trembled, and a ripple appeared in the wine.
"So, Secretary Yang, you are bringing the elder from the garrison mansion to treat Mr. Jia and I to this meal?" The housekeeper looked at Yang Guangyu.
Yang Guangyu did not deny it, but persuaded him, "To be honest, Lord Guard has known the details of the Tiger Flag for a long time, but he is suffering from the lack of conclusive evidence. If you two are willing to cooperate, the Tiger Flag will be removed in the future, and the benefits of the two of you will naturally be indispensable."
The housekeeper looked thoughtful.
"Secretary Yang has found the wrong person. I'm afraid I can't help Lord Guard." Mr. Jia stood up and said, "There are still many official matters in the yamen, so I will leave first."
After saying that, he left his seat and walked outside.
Yang Guangyu, who was sitting in his seat, said, "Master Jia is willing to be a master for the rest of his life?"
Master Jia's hand that opened the curtain suddenly stopped.
