The building is filled with fragrance.
The best and highest-grade brothel in Youtun City.
As we all know, Youtun City is a border gate with many garrison troops, many brave villagers, and many people doing business. After all, where there are people, there is demand.
The boss of this Xiangmanlou is also a ruthless character. He dares to open a shop on the front line. Not to mention, there are also many people who come to spend money. After all, they are all a bunch of soldiers who are exhausted and have nothing to do. The brothel business will naturally OK~
Gu Sinian stood respectfully at the door of a No. A private room on the second floor. The room was empty but filled with a table full of good dishes.
This table of dishes alone cost Gu Sinian a lot of money, and he felt very distressed.
"Dengdengdeng~"
Footsteps sounded, and after a long wait, the guest invited today finally appeared, and a figure walked up the stairs.
The person who came was none other than Gu Sinian's immediate boss, Deputy Lieutenant Wang Yan.
"Captain Wang, you are finally here."
Gu Sinian hurriedly greeted him with a smile:
"Brother, I have been waiting for a long time. If you don't come, the dishes will be cold.
Please, please, please, come inside quickly. "
Wang Yan, who had narrowed his eyes, flickered when he saw the delicious food and wine on the table, but he still held his head high and said in an official tone:
"Gu Baihu, what do you mean by this? It's a war season and the front line is tight. Isn't it appropriate for you to stage such a pomp?"
"Hey, what are you talking about, Sir Captain? Isn't it just about having a meal?"
Gu Sinian supported Wang Yan and sat down on the main seat:
"My lord is usually considerate and treats me well. Isn't it right to treat me to a meal?"
Besides, food is the most important thing for the people. No matter how tight the war is, they still need to eat.
Sir, don't refuse, sit down, please sit down! If you don't sit down, it's because the younger brother didn't entertain you well! "
Gu Sinian's demeanor and behavior were extremely respectful, and a few flattering words, both gentle and not serious, immediately put a smile on Wang Yan's face:
“Haha, you kid is really good at talking.
Okay, I won't be polite, but if you don't do it next time, you have to pay attention to the impact! "
"understand."
Gu Sinian held the wine bottle and said:
"I would like to offer you a glass of wine first. This wine is said to be the signature product of Xiang Man Lou. It is very fragrant!
Sir please! "
"Hmm~"
After a glass of wine, Wang Yan nodded repeatedly:
"It's really good, the wine is great, Gu Baihu is really interested~"
Gu Sinian sneered in his heart, you are a drunkard and greedy for money, who in the camp knows this?
However, Gu Sinian remained respectful in front of him:
"You should drink a lot of good wine. I heard that you have a good drinking capacity and good wine.
Come on, I'll give you three more glasses! "
"Okay, okay, three cups is three cups!"
"The adults are great, but the villains are inferior!"
"Hahahaha~"
After three rounds of drinking, Wang Yan was already a little in a mood, his face was slightly red, and his attitude towards Gu Sinian was not as wary as it was at the beginning, and occasionally he would say a few words of brotherhood.
Gu Sinian also took this opportunity to bring out a tray with several large ingots of silver on it, at least twenty taels.
Wang Yan's eyes suddenly lit up and he couldn't move his eyes away at all:
"Gu Baihu, what do you mean?"
"hehe."
A flattering smile appeared on Gu Sinian's face:
"I have been taking care of you these days. Please accept your little kindness."
This was all the remaining money from the sale of military rations, and Gu Sinian's heart was bleeding.
Upon hearing that the silver was for him, Wang Yan smiled even more, but he did not immediately reach out to take it:
"Ahem, as the saying goes, no reward will be given for no merit~ It is unjustifiable for me to take my brother's money for nothing.
Let's do this. If Gu Baihu wants to ask for something, there's no problem in speaking up. I'll help if I can, but we can't do anything that violates military regulations. "
"My lord, be happy!"
Gu Sinian gave a thumbs up and said:
“The younger one spoke out shamelessly.
I know that Bai Yan gave you twelve taels of silver. I have twenty taels here. I also want to ask you to say a few words of kindness in front of Captain Zhang, so that you don’t embarrass our brothers in the future.
They are all working hard on the front line, and it is not easy for our brothers. "
"So that's what happened~"
Wang Yan squinted his eyes and said:
"Ahem, Lieutenant Zhang, I do have some opinions on you. Even if I don't tell you, you know why~"
"My lord, what you said is wrong. I really don't know why the captain dislikes us."
Gu Sinian called out to Qu with a confused look on his face:
"Since I joined the army, I have done my job according to my duties, and there has never been any mistakes in the military affairs handed down. Not to mention anything else, just in the last battle to defend the city, we all risked our lives.
Previously, Zhang Lan Baihu died. The younger one knew that he was the nephew of the lord, so he desperately snatched the body of the lord Baihu from the Yan army. I thought the captain would praise us.
Unexpectedly, the captain not only did not give us a good look, but also wanted to kill us.
Oh, I don’t understand it, I’m so confused! "
"Um?"
Wang Yan frowned:
"Gu Baihu, there is no one around now. Tell me the truth. Can you kill Zhang Lan?"
"Why do you say this, sir?"
Gu Sinian's eyes widened suddenly, as if he heard something extraordinary:
"Zhang Baihu was killed by the Yan army and was witnessed by many people. You can investigate this matter.
I have no enmity with Zhang Baihu, why should I kill him?
To be honest, the villain was so miserable that he stayed up all night the night Zhang Baihu died. "
"No grievances and no grudges? That's not true, right?"
Wang Yan crossed his legs and said something intentionally or unintentionally:
"I heard that Zhang Lan hid a batch of military rations and disappeared. Is it your fault~"
As soon as these words came out, Gu Sinian concluded that Bai Yan must have tipped him off and betrayed him to gain Zhang Jingyuan's trust.
Gu Sinian lowered his head and said silently:
"Since the adults asked about this, the younger one told the truth.
It is true that we were responsible for stealing food, but it was really because the brothers were hungry and scared that we took this step.
But with so much food, we only got 10% of it, and the rest was all stolen by Bai Yan. He made a lot of money, but we brothers could only go hungry! "
"What, Bai Yan is also involved in this matter?"
Wang Yan's expression suddenly changed:
"He said this was your fault! It had nothing to do with him."
In a few words, Wang Yan confessed to Bai Yan.
"Sir, you have been deceived!"
Gu Sinian lamented:
"Think about it carefully, if he was not involved in such a big thing, why would he know about it?
Is it possible that a villain is stupid enough to talk about this kind of thing everywhere?
And the villain swears to God, he even told me the place where Zhang Baihu hid his grain. If he told me even half a lie, I would die badly! He was beaten to ashes by the Yan army! "
Gu Sinian made a poisonous oath, but he didn't panic at all, because the place where the food was hidden was really what Bai Yan said.
Poisonous Oath also won Wang Yan's trust, and his face suddenly turned cold:
"How brave you are to lie to me!
So, he wants to kill you to steal that batch of food? "
"That's right! Don't you know, sir? This guy is very greedy for money!"
Gu Sinian said gracefully:
"Not only did he embezzle the money from selling grain, but he also plundered a lot of property from the Yan soldiers during the last attack on Fengsui.
Although he was just a small general banner before, he has already made a lot of money! "
"This bastard!"
Wang Yan was completely angry:
"He gave me ten taels of silver before, and he said it was the brothers who managed to collect it, so he was very rich behind the scenes.
Oh shit! "
Wang Yan can tolerate everything, but he can't bear that Bai Yan is so rich and only gives himself a mere ten taels of silver.
At that time, Bai Yan was extremely reluctant to part with the money when he gave it to him. He pretended to be pitiful and won Wang Yan's sympathy. Otherwise, with only ten taels of silver, it would be really difficult for Wang Yan to do things.
Look at Gu Sinian, one shot costs twenty taels!
How sincere!
"Yes! This boy talks nonsense!"
Gu Sinian climbed up the pole and said:
"Don't worry, sir, I am very loyal to you and will never lie to you!
If you, sir, can tell the truth to Captain Zhang and wash away your grievances, I will give you a generous gift! "
"Don't worry, I will definitely not see you suffer in vain."
Wang Yan sneered and said:
"Even he dares to lie to me. He really has the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard!"
Seeing that the time was almost up, Gu Sinian pushed the money in front of Wang Yan:
"Then please leave it to your lord~"
"hehe."
A smile appeared on Wang Yan's face again, and he accepted the money unceremoniously:
"Don't worry. If you find a chance, I will let you meet the Captain. Then you will have to explain your grievances~"
"Then thank you, sir!"
"Come on, come on, have three more drinks!"
…
After all, Wang Yan's work efficiency is high after collecting money.
I had just had a drink with Gu Sinian the day before, and as soon as I woke up the next day, I went to find Zhang Jingyuan and told him what happened.
"What, seriously?"
Zhang Jingyuan's brows suddenly wrinkled:
"He can't kill Zhang Lan. Is Bai Yan also involved in stealing food?"
"That's what Gu Sinian said to the humble position."
Wang Yan said softly:
“The villain thinks that nine times out of ten it’s true.
Sir, think about it, stealing military rations and offending Zhang Lan are both serious crimes. If Gu Sinian did it alone, how could he talk about it everywhere?
Since Bai Yan knows, there is only one possibility!
He was also involved! "
"Well, there is some truth in thinking that way."
Zhang Jingyuan paced slowly in the room, and then asked his question:
"But if he framed Gu Sinian and wanted to kill him just to embezzle money, is it too much?
As for that? "
"Sir, people die for money and birds die for food. This Baiyan is not a good thing at first glance."
Wang Yan guided Zhang Jingyuan carefully:
"Besides, Bai Yan and the others retreated from Xibao Village without fighting, which is against military rules and regulations.
As long as Gu Sinian was killed, wouldn't everything on the front line depend entirely on his words? What do we have to believe in what he says?
So this kid is also very bad in order to protect himself! "
"Well, it's true~"
Zhang Jingyuan suddenly stopped and looked back at Wang Yan suspiciously:
"What's going on with you today? You just spoke for Gu Sinian. Could it be that you received some benefits from him?"
"My lord, the conscience of heaven and earth!"
Wang Yan immediately patted his chest and promised:
"In my humble position, I just don't want to see adults being deceived by villains. Everything is done for the sake of adults.
If such a selfish villain is allowed to follow an adult, he may cause some trouble in the future!
We have to keep our eyes peeled~"
After all, he is Zhang Jingyuan's right-hand man, and Wang Yan can fool him with just a few words.
Sure enough, Zhang Jingyuan's brows furrowed completely and he said coldly:
"Go and call this guy Gu Sinian over, I want to ask you what's going on!
If Bai Yan is really causing trouble behind his back, I will never forgive him! "
"promise!"
