The Han and Liu families knew full well that the situation between the two sides was already a fight to the death.
Wu Yong, who is in good terms with the Liu family and wears a pair of wild sandals, uses all his tricks, so Han You is trying every possible means to get dirty information.
Sitting outside a tea shop in Bei City, Han You, Zhou Yan and Zhang Zhuo looked towards Xianglai Pavilion opposite.
Guo Peng just entered Xianglai Pavilion to find out the details.
This Xianglai Pavilion is also a property of the Liu family. It is in the name of the cousin of Liu Wenguan's third concubine. On the surface, it has nothing to do with Liu Wenguan.
Other industries are just that, wine shops, grain shops, and silk and satin sellers are insignificant. None of the officials in Beijing have a side job.
Only the two businesses, Xiang Lai Pavilion and Tooth Shop, were proven to be related to Liu Wenguan, if nothing else, he would definitely have no more official robes to wear.
Civil servants have the most reputation, and they all have a virtuous and respectable face. They would like to have four big characters carved on their faces when they go out, which means moral character on the left and flawless on the right.
Yuck shops and brothels have nothing to do with morality. The former sells people and the latter sells one's body. They are both places that are extremely despised by scholars.
There is no need to say more about brothels. Just talking about brothels, we can understand them as middlemen. They negotiate deals, introduce transactions, provide capital and guarantee, and finally collect commissions.
This dental shop in Bei City has only one main business, which is buying and selling people!
The children of the common people who could not survive were bought at extremely low prices, and then sold to the people in various mansions as slaves or even livestock.
In these two professions, whoever gets the reputation of the other will be in trouble.
In fact, many people know the owners behind these industries, let's just talk about the martial arts soldiers on the street. Who doesn't know that Yaxing is related to the brothel and the Liu family.
It's better to let people know than to let people see. Everyone knows in their hearts that they can't say it with their mouths.
This was the reason why Han You came to Beishi. He was convinced, convinced, and extremely convinced that places like Xianglai Pavilion and Yaxing, where people were making money every day, had nothing to do with Liu Wenguan's concubine and cousin.
As long as we find out the flow of funds from the two businesses, how they got into the Liu Mansion, who will get it from the Liu family, and how it works, once direct evidence is found, publicize it, and the bigger the fuss, the better.
At that time, Shilin will definitely criticize you, Liu Wenguan, the director of the Ministry of Industry, let's just play and consume. You are just making a dream come true. Do you want face? Do you want face? Do you want face?
With a bad reputation, the Liu family is basically doomed. As long as everyone in the capital knows it, this old guy will have to resign. If he doesn't resign, the important officials in the court will have to get rid of him. Once he becomes a white body, it's not Jingzhao Mansion can do whatever it wants.
Han You hasn't been to Yaxing yet, so he came to stay in Xianglai Pavilion first and asked Guo Peng to find out the truth.
Originally, this job was suitable for Han You, but he took Zhou Yan there yesterday. Asking questions could easily scare someone away, so he let Guo Peng, the palace guard, go.
Zhang Zhuo glanced at the sky, frowned and said, "Lao Guo has been in here for half an hour, he must be having fun."
Han You rolled his eyes fiercely. Who are you asking? What kind of virtues does your subordinate have that you don’t know?
Before Guo Peng went in, Han You told him to listen to some music, drink two glasses of wine, and then call a girl. No more, just one girl.
Then I'll trick the girl to death, and when I'm done, I'll add two more fires... No, I'll reward her some more, and finally ask when the Liu family will "collect the debt", who will collect the debt, etc.
Zhang Zhuo was obviously an impatient person. He took a sip of rough tea and suggested: "General, let's go in and have a look. Speaking of which, I have quite a relationship with the old bustard Yuqi, so I'll just ask him face to face."
"Are you going to explore or do you want to do some research?"
"Of course let's explore it."
"Then why are you swallowing?"
"I...I'm a little nervous."
"You're even rubbing your hands!"
Zhang Zhuo: "..."
"Don't think about it. Yuqi is eating at Liu Mansion. Will she betray her boss?"
"That's true." Zhang Zhuo is acting like a stubborn donkey every day. He feels uncomfortable all the time if he doesn't fight: "But if Lao Guo finds a girl at random, can he know these secrets?"
Han You nodded, looking like he had the pearls of wisdom in his hands.
He was absolutely sure about this, not that there were no secrets in brothels, but that there were basically no secrets in places with many women.
In his previous life, he had a girlfriend who was in college. There were only six people in the dormitory and seven WeChat groups were created.
This time, Han You can be said to have given all his belongings to Guo Peng. A five-guan banknote is equivalent to 20,000 yuan in cash in future generations. If you go to a KTV nightclub and find a seat... find a waiter who is sitting there bored to find out more. If it was something serious, not to mention asking the boss behind the scenes for 20,000 yuan, even if he asked the boss how many hairs he had in total, he could find out. If he couldn't find out, he would have to knock the boss unconscious with a stick and count them.
After waiting for another quarter of an hour, just when Han You was wondering if Guo Peng was faking it, a noise came from Xianglai Pavilion.
Everyone looked intently and saw Guo Peng, who was wearing regular clothes, stepping back and yelling and cursing. The scolding was very unpleasant and very pretentious.
A group of fat girls also scolded them and chased them out. One of them was carrying a stick.
Guo Peng didn't know whether he drank too much or something. When he was retreating, he accidentally knocked on the threshold and fell on his back.
The fat girl finally found an opportunity. She lifted up her skirt and made a running start. Like a tiger charge, she jumped up and sat down on Guo Peng's face.
Zhou Yan opened his mouth wide: "What...what's going on."
Han You gasped: "You look so confused!"
Zhang Zhuo touched the stubble on his chin and said in an incomprehensible tone: "If you hear the truth in the morning, you will die in the evening."
Han You discovered that the palace guards were indeed both civil and military elites.
Looking from a distance, it could be said that Guo Peng was a guard of the palace and could be called a tough guy. He pushed up the fat girl with his head and ran away while the turtle man and a group of girls kept yelling and scolding.
Han You, Zhou Yan, and Zhang Zhuo quickly lowered their heads, fearing that idiot Guo Peng would come straight away.
Fortunately, Guo Peng was not stupid and disappeared into the crowd.
Han You threw down a few coins and took Zhou Yan and Zhang Zhuo to the alley next to them.
Guo Peng, who was covered in stains, was already in place. Before Han You could ask, the former quickly walked up to him with an expressionless face.
"I dare to ask Mr. Han, are you really going to uproot the Liu family?"
The last word "qi" can be said to be gnashing of teeth.
Zhou Yan and Zhang Zhuo looked at each other in confusion. Han You seemed to have thought of something and asked, "Tell me, what did you see?"
Guo Peng repeated it word by word: "I dare to ask Mr. Han, are you serious about uprooting the Liu family!"
Han You nodded slightly and only said the word "yes".
Guo Peng took a step back, then knelt heavily on one knee and raised his hands.
"I, Guo Peng, am willing to do my best. If Young Master Han gets rid of the Liu family, the life of the last general will belong to Young Master Han, and he can be used as he wishes!"
"Bastard!" Zhang Zhuo's face changed drastically and he cursed: "You've become stupid after drinking. What nonsense are you talking about?"
Guo Peng raised his head, his eyes were blood red: "Do you know what I saw in that Xianglai Pavilion!"
Han You helped Guo Peng up and said softly: "If the Liu family doesn't die, I will die. I don't want to die, so the Liu family must die. Tell me what you saw."
