14. Dungeon
The place to stay is at Yuanxingbangtangkou in Dongshi.
Chu Yunqing didn't come here often. He usually either hangs out in Kanglefang or sleeps at home. He doesn't think it's troublesome to come to the restaurant to order mao with the people who work normally.
The carriage stopped on the street, and other incense owners who had already heard the news came out of the hall. They had hot towels on their clean hands. There were also people carrying fruit plates, candied fruits and other snacks, with some excitement on their faces.
He seems extremely attentive.
Until Chu Yunqing got off the carriage.
These people looked stunned and froze on the spot.
Then Gu He stepped out of the carriage, with a calm demeanor, but a look of curiosity on his charming face. He couldn't help but look at the hall in front of him and these attentive little brothers, without any sign of being a prisoner.
There was even a bit of a smile in his eyes.
Yan Hongran rubbed her neck and got out of the car. She casually took the towel from a stunned incense owner, wiped her hands, and threw it into a bucket aside. The guy was so excited that he quickly picked up the bucket and went to the entrance of the hall.
Chu Yunqing was so thick-skinned that even if everyone had different eyes, even with jealousy and anger, he would not feel embarrassed at all. Instead, he smiled at a few people, followed behind with the brocade box in his arms.
Qing Fei went to rest his horse.
"What time of year are you still having these arrogances?" Yan Hongran picked up a snack and ate it with a dissatisfied tone.
There were six incense masters in Dongshi, including Chu Yunqing, and of course they were all here now. After hearing this, of course they didn't dare to say anything, and just smiled in apology.
They don't have the same treatment as Chu Yunqing, but now they can ride in the same car as the boss. Everyone feels this hatred in their hearts, and they are even more sad - they thought that the hall leader was a hero among women, and was different from other women, but they didn't expect that he would be the same.
It's unfair to be blinded by a skin!
How could Yan Hongran guess what these idiots were thinking? Seeing that they were a little dazed, Yan Hongran narrowed her eyes.
"Nothing went wrong under your hands, right?"
Hearing her talk about business, all the incense masters looked solemn. As they looked at each other, one of them, a man with a mature face and a burly body, spoke.
"To be honest, the people in Lu Jing have been wooing us in private in the past few days. Moreover, although they have not openly grabbed our business, many of their people come to visit us."
This man is called Fang Zhen. He worked in the green forest in his early years and was nicknamed "Putting Eagle". He operates in the northern area of Taiyuan Prefecture and specializes in robbing the fleets of major chambers of commerce. However, he can be regarded as a thief and only seeks money, so he was
After Yan Hongran was arrested, he still survived and is now in charge of two cities.
This guy is not very smart, but he has good martial arts skills, is invulnerable to weapons and weapons, and is ranked high in the Yuanxing Gang.
It was him who was carrying a bucket and handing over towels.
Yan Hongran nodded, and then said to Chu Yunqing: "Go and put her in the dungeon first."
She was naturally referring to Gu He, who looked around after entering the hall.
After hearing this, several incense masters were stunned. They thought that this beautiful woman was the friend the hall master had just made, but how could they imagine that she was still a prisoner?
However, being captured by the hall master, who might become his own brother in the future, everyone couldn't help but look at Fang Zhen, which made the latter's boss unhappy.
Chu Yunqing responded and raised his hand towards the door as a false gesture. Gu He smiled lightly and followed him out.
This smile was not intentional, but the vixen's charming charm was revealed inadvertently, making several people in the hall stare straight at him.
When they left, they actually felt a little sad and lost.
The corners of Yan Hongran's eyes twitched, and the two walnuts made a clicking sound in her hands.
Fang Zhen and others quickly came to their senses, feeling embarrassed and lightly slapped themselves on the face, with a sneer on their faces.
Yan Hongran snorted coldly and said: "That woman is an alchemist and is proficient in the art of enchantment. Without my instructions, none of you should provoke her."
When Fang Zhen and others heard this, they immediately agreed.
"Why did you let Brother Qing'er come over?" Fang Zhen asked, "He is young and full of energy. If..."
After seeing Yan Hongran's cold eyes, he stopped talking.
"At least he won't go to the brothel." Yan Hongran snorted coldly.
Fang Zhen shrank his neck. If anyone wanted to go to the brothel the most, it would be someone from his side. However, he was also unhappy in his heart. It was precisely because Chu Yunqing was a brat that he couldn't control himself.
"Okay, let's talk about the recent developments in the gang." Yan Hongran stopped joking.
…
Although the laws of the imperial court are strict and no one other than the government is allowed to set up dungeons and other places of imprisonment, but if there are no dungeons in gangs like the Yuanxing Gang, is it still called a gang?
The dungeon is of course underground.
Chu Yunqing led Gu He into the courtyard at the entrance of the hall, then turned into one of the inconspicuous-looking rooms, turned the switch, and stone steps leading to the underground were revealed.
The brother next to him quickly handed over the torch.
"Please." Chu Yunqing pointed.
Gu He's expression remained unchanged and he walked ahead.
The stairs are not long. After about thirty steps and turning a corner, a hazy light appeared in front of my eyes.
There are torches underground, and it is not too dark. There are cells with iron bars on both sides of the corridor. There are ten cells in total. Only two of them are incarcerated at this time.
"Hey, Brother Qing'er is a rare visitor." A somewhat out of the ordinary voice came, but it seemed a bit strange in this empty and quiet underground.
"I smell the scent of a woman." A hoarse, old, yet malicious voice appeared next.
Gu He was a little curious and looked at the people around him.
Chu Yunqing snorted and said, "A gambler and a pervert."
After thinking about it, I gave a brief explanation as a reminder.
These two people, the former is named Bai Jiu, nicknamed "Three Hands", they are gamblers from Hunnan City, that is, Chen Wu's territory. After winning 50,000 taels of silver in a gambling house, they were discovered by the banker.
The old man provoked Chen Wu and chopped off his right hand.
But this man insisted that he was not a cheater and wanted to go to Gang Leader Shi to seek justice. Chen Wu directly fed his severed hand to the dog.
Bai Jiu was so angry and resentful that he set fire to the gambling shop in the middle of the night. He then tried to escape from the city, but was hunted down again, so he fled to Dongshi and fell into the hands of Yan Hongran.
, was thrown directly into the dungeon.
Because of this, he is still alive.
The latter is an old man who is nearly 70 years old. Although he is old, he is a famous flower picker in the nine counties of Taiyuan Prefecture. Unlike other flower pickers, his lightness skills are average, but he has the ability to make the incense.
As for this man's real name, no one knows, only his self-proclaimed name is "Buyong". This means that any woman who is targeted by him and enters the boudoir in the middle of the night must give her a kiss and never go empty-handed.
Then, he set his sights on Yan Hongran, but not to mention entering the boudoir, during the day when he was checking the spot, Yan Hongran shot an arrow through the pipa bone, nailed her to the wall, and later threw her into the dungeon.
Originally, flower-picking thieves like Bu Zong Kong, who everyone shouted to beat, would definitely be castrated first after being caught. But this man even cried and begged, saying that he was actually already dead, and he had already confessed half a year ago. I couldn't get up, so I was able to keep my body intact.
At this time, after listening to Chu Yunqing's words, Gu He raised his eyebrows with interest.
