Chapter 166

Boom, boom, boom...

After the six hundred curfew drums sounded, the four city gates of Longxi County closed again.

Night fell, and after one watch, the curfew began.

Guo Ye, Fatty Zhu, Gan Zhushou, Cheng Erniu and a dozen other armored soldiers formed four teams, and slipped in through the four gates among the people pouring into the city in disguise.

The end is that the gods don't know it, the ghosts don't know it, only one's own heart knows it.

The four groups headed towards the Firework Willow Lane in the north of the city, hid the short knives prepared earlier in the morning into their clothes, and finally gathered in a dark alley.

Seeing that the big guys were almost here, Guo Ye suddenly asked Fatty Zhu, "Old Zhu, why does the closed-door drum sound wrong today? Does it sound weaker as you go to the back? Could it be the person in charge of closing the city gate and knocking on the big drum?" Zaoli didn’t have enough to eat today?”

Fatty Zhu chuckled and said, "Ha, isn't this thanks to the blessing of the military commander?"

When Fatty Zhu said that, everyone present snickered in low voices.

Guo Ye suddenly understood that it turned out that he had dug the corner of the county government before, and the current county government servant must be nervous.

The yamen servants were short of staff, so Gu Dezhao had to reduce the guards at each city gate from two to one.

Guo Ye had also guarded the city gate before, so he naturally knew the concept of beating six hundred drums.

The two took turns knocking hard, and now there is only one person who knocks [-] times in a row. Isn't this killing people?

It's no wonder that the sound of the drum behind closed doors became weaker and weaker, as if it was tickling, it was really boring.

But then I thought about it, since there is a shortage of yamen servants, Gu Dezhao must have no protection around him, hehe, this is a mistake, it's a good thing!

Under the night, a dozen or so people shuttled through the alleys of the Fireworks Land, their footsteps were as light as bobcats climbing the wall, and no noise could be heard at all.

After going around a few alleys, Fatty Zhu, the leader, suddenly stopped and raised his hand to signal everyone to stop.

Then he turned his head to Guo Ye and shouted in a low voice: "Master Bingsi, we're here!"

As he spoke, he pointed his right hand in the forward direction.

Guo Ye and the others looked in the direction of Fatty Zhu's finger, and saw a house standing dozens of steps away from the alley. From time to time, the sound of warblers and swallows came from the courtyard.

At first glance, the gate and walls of this house are quite majestic, with patches of bamboo planted outside the red bricks and green tiles, bringing out a trace of tranquility amidst the hustle and bustle.

Looking at the gate of the house again, above the heads of the two welcoming servants, there is a gilt wooden plaque with four large characters written on it: Qingxin Xiaozhu.

Guo Ye roughly looked at the scene in front of him, and said contemptuously, your sister, a brothel is so elegant and elegant, the owner of this brothel is really smart.

Compared with the vulgar decoration of the Manyue Tower, the grade of this Qingxin Xiaozhu is not only several floors higher.

However, there is a saying in later generations that no matter how small and fresh you are with light makeup and plain makeup, it can't hide your low-level bad taste and heavy-tasting heart.

Putting this sentence here is the same, a brothel is still a brothel, it is still the kiln where the bridegroom is changed every day and the bride is changed every night.

Qingxin Xiaozhu, cut, a place for selling dog meat, no matter how pure you go, it will still be a burst of sex.At that time, even if you want to clear your mind, your brain will be full of sperm.

……

Fatty Zhu said softly: "As far as I know, Gu Dezhao's long-term patronage is this Qingxin Xiaozhu. Whenever he has nothing to do at night, he will have fun here. He also has a good friend here. It is the top brand of Qingxin Xiaozhu, called Zicuckoo."

wipe!

Guo Ye smashed his mouth, said in his heart, Zicuckoo?The little bitch got a stage name and what the hell is quite literary.

However, he also had to admire Gu Dezhao's vision. As far as the grade of this Qingxin Xiaozhu is concerned, it is definitely a good place hidden in the fireworks and willow alley in the north of the city.

Compared with the so-called prosperous brothels in Manyuelou, Wenrou Township, and Yihongyuan, they are simply weak!

There is such an elegant brothel in such a small county, Guo Ye couldn't help becoming interested in the owner of this brothel, and then asked, "Do you know who opened this Qingxin Xiaozhu?"

Fatty Zhu shook his head and said, "This old Zhu doesn't know, hehe, to be honest, Lao Zhu hasn't gone in to enjoy it yet."

Cheng Erniu, who had already been dumbfounded by the situation of this Qingxin Xiaozhu brothel, suddenly woke up and asked, "Fatty Zhu, how do you know this place? I was born and raised in Longxi, and I have never heard of this place before." Mile."

"Hi!" Fatty Zhu said with a smirk, "I thought that Lao Zhu came here by mistake, but those gangsters despise Lao Zhu's poverty and won't let him in. I'm a poor official, so why not let me in But who would have thought that when Lao Tzu slapped me at the door, the county captain Gu Dezhao would come out from inside, reprimand me, and almost beat me up, mother Xipi!"

Later, he realized that he was a little embarrassed to reveal his scars, and immediately glanced at Cheng Erniu again, with a look of "it's not that there are no good places, but that you are rare and strange".

After listening to Fatty Zhu's words, Guo Ye thought to himself, Fatty Zhu has hated Gu Dezhao since early in the morning, otherwise how could he miss him until now, even his visit to this brothel can be found out.

Immediately, Guo Ye waved his hand to signal not to make any noise, and asked softly: "It seems that it is a bit difficult to kidnap Gu Dezhao inside. If we rush in through the main entrance, it will definitely attract the attention of the people inside. If Gu Dezhao slips away early, the loss outweighs the gain." Already!"

Only then did Guo Ye reveal the purpose of his trip, which turned out to be to kidnap the new county magistrate, Gu Dezhao.

Except for Fatty Zhu, who offered advice and ideas, no one present knew about this in advance.

After listening to Guo Ye's announcement of the answer, all of them lost their color, and all their faces were full of surprise.

Even Gan Zhushou, a living zombie with a stinky face, couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, and glanced at Guo Ye out of the corner of his eye, expressing that Brother Gan was shocked!

But now everyone and Master Guo Ye are brothers on the same boat, little grasshoppers on the same rope.No one is a fool, and they all know that Guo Ye, a big tree, cannot fall down, because they have all joined the regiment and trained the army, and there is no way out.

If this uncle Guo Ye falls, their group of people, including hundreds of people on Jiangxin Island, will not be as simple as the tree falling and the monkeys scattered. If they can't carry these monkeys, they will not even have the chance to return to Longxi County to gain a foothold.

Immediately, they kept silent very knowingly, expressing their obedience to Brother Guo's orders.

Fatty Zhu has long been labeled "the number one minion of Guo's class", and he has long been used to helping Guo Ye to help others. After hearing Guo Ye say that breaking into the front door would scare the snake, he immediately laughed again and said, "Master Bingsi, I have a way. Back door, let's enter through the back door!"

Saying this, he waved to Guo Ye, and then led the crowd to another alley, which led to a narrower, darker and dirtier alley.

……

……

In a private room in Qingxin Xiaozhu, a group of police officers dressed in government uniforms were drinking wine and eating meat in large bowls, telling wild jokes that were not taboo, causing bursts of wild laughter from time to time.

And the singing girl sitting alone in a corner playing the zither for these vulgar guests lowered her head, unable to see her appearance, and plucked the zither strings in her hands.

However, from the fact that the geisha turned her head away every time these policemen talked about a dirty joke, she could tell that this was the most vulgar guest she had ever received in her career.

The guests who come to their Qingxin Xiaozhu are not polite, whether they are scholars or businessmen, no matter how rude they are outside, they can't pretend to be gentlemen when they come to their Qingxin Xiaozhu.

However, these unsightly and loud-talking policemen have never had any scruples.

But she knew that these guests could not be offended, because they were regular customers of Qingxin Xiaozhu, and the new county magistrate Gu Dezhao personally ordered them to serve them well.

Ever since, the little singing girl pretended to be deaf and continued to talk about the melodious zither.

There is a good song "Mountains and Flowing Water", the tune is sometimes high-pitched and loud like a long stream, and sometimes low and melodious like a gurgling stream.
