People write diaries in Zongwu, and the heroes collapse

Chapter 322 The Drinker and the Beauty

At that time, Gu Xichao participated in a martial arts competition and won the first place, successfully entering the eyes of Fu Zongshu. After more than a year of inspection, Fu Zongshu believed that Gu Xichao had good qualifications and was worthy of his key training, so he regarded him as his adopted son and kept him with him. around.

Ever since he worshiped Fu Zongshu as his adoptive father, Gu Xichao had completely fallen into a state of depravity. He was in a muddleheaded mood and had done many bad things. He once raped the daughter of Mr. Xing of the Ministry of Rites. This incident was finally suppressed by Fu Zongshu. For this, he was also jailed. Fu Zongshu was severely scolded.

After this incident, Gu Xichao was sent to Suzhou for training by Fu Zongshu. Suzhou was connected to the Western Regions and had developed trade routes and many caravans, which had spawned many bandits. It was common for them to cheat and kill people.

After two years of preparation and command, the then prefect of Suzhou wiped out dozens of gangs of bandits, large and small, in one fell swoop. Gu Xichao also contributed a lot at that time.

However, on the night of the celebration, he bloodbathed the prefect's family and found some corpses of thieves to deal with the court's investigation, thus monopolizing all the credit for the thieves' achievements.

Many officials in Suzhou suspected that he had done this, but they were afraid of the power behind him and his ruthlessness, so no one dared to report it. Later, when the court sent officials to investigate, the matter was hastily done. , and no one dared to expose it.

Relying on this credit, Gu Xichao was able to return to the capital after two years of absence. However, at this time, the Fu Mansion once again held a competition, and a man named Ouyang Tuntu stood out, and his momentum was no worse than him.

Especially Fu Zongshu wanted to adopt him as his adopted son, which made Gu Xichao secretly angry, so he found an opportunity to poison him to death.

Fu Zongshu knew that he was the one who poisoned him, but after weighing it, he still did not hand him over, but randomly found a scapegoat.

For so many years, Fu Zongshu has been wiping his butt just to let him share his worries.

Gu Xichao did not disappoint Fu Zongshu and helped him with many secret things.

"Have you not found out his whereabouts yet?"

Fu Zongshu asked quietly.

Gu Xichao replied: "Since he disappeared at the city gate, he has completely lost his trace. I mobilized many people to investigate, but it is indeed difficult to find his traces in a short time."

"We must find his traces."

Fu Zongshu said with a serious face, with such a great master like Lu Chen in the capital, he would be woken up while sleeping.

At this time, he already regretted offending Lu Chen.

If Lu Chen is not found, he will not be able to sleep peacefully.

Fu Zongshu was silent for a moment and asked: "Is there any news from Jiuyou Divine Lord?"

"The Lord God sent news. He said that he will definitely arrive within three days. He reassured his adoptive father that not only will he come this time, but his disciples will also come together to help his adoptive father get rid of Lu Chen."

Care about the road.

"I heard that you have a good relationship with Shenwei Escort Agency."

Fu Zongshu said calmly.

Gu Xichao was startled. He did have a certain relationship with the Shenwei Escort Agency. He had secretly subdued the owner of the Shenwei Escort Agency and used him for his own use.

The Shenwei Escort Agency is very powerful and has a large number of people. After Gu Xichao took control of the Shenwei Escort Agency, he had a lot of power in both the white and the underworld.

"Yes, foster father."

Gu Xichao knew that he couldn't hide it from Fu Zongshu, so since his adoptive father asked, he admitted it.

"Transfer them to the mansion. I will benefit them after this incident."

"If my adoptive father wants to use them, that is their blessing. I will go and recruit people now."

"Ah."

Fu Zongshu nodded slightly.

……

The capital was the economic center of the Song Dynasty, but dignitaries generally lived in the West City, while the rich mostly lived in the East City.

Beicheng is generally inhabited by poor people, and life is very difficult.

Nancheng is a prosperous entertainment place, with three religions, nine streams, five elements and eight works concentrated in Nancheng.

In a remote alley in Nancheng, there is an inconspicuous tavern. There are only two broken tables in the tavern, and even the benches make a creaking sound when you sit down.

There was a young man lying on a broken table. He was sleeping on the table. He didn't know if he was drunk.

An old man in a gray shirt was sitting at the door, smoking a dry cigarette. He turned his head and glanced at the young man lying on the table, and couldn't help but shake his head.

This young man came here two days ago. He drank for two days and then slept here.

In his opinion, maybe this young man was emotionally hurt, so he came out to get drunk.

He was even afraid that this young man would drink himself to death here.

He also tried to ask the young man where he was from, but he just shook his head and asked him what was on his mind. The other person also shook his head.

Maybe it was a member of a big family who was hurt by love.

The old man thought so.

He had encountered drunken people like this before, and they were facing life or death.

This is the world.

It would be nice to be alive.

Only the children of these aristocratic families can be hurt by love. It is a blessing for ordinary people like them to live in peace and have enough to eat.

The old man did not urge him to leave. The young man had already given him twenty taels of silver and told him not to worry about anything.

You are a fool whether you want to make money or not, as long as you don't die drunk here.

He continued to smoke.

His old wife died a long time ago, and now she runs this tavern just for a bite to eat and to earn some money to buy a coffin.

Just then, a gust of fragrant wind came.

This scent is so familiar, it's a woman's body fragrance.

He looked up and saw a beautiful woman appearing in front of her, accompanied by a little maid of twelve or thirteen years old.

This woman is also a regular customer.

Even so, every time he saw her, he was distracted, and it took him a while before he came back to his senses.

The girl in front of her was like a fairy, as if she were a treasure given to the world by God. Her face was like a peach blossom, her eyebrows were like distant mountains, and her pupils were shining like stars.

She was like a bright pearl, with skin as white as jade, as if it could be broken by a blow, making people want to touch her gently.

Although she was wearing a simple white dress, it could not hide her voluptuous waist. No matter from which angle she looked, she looked so flawless and fascinating.

If more than half of his body wasn't buried in the ground, he wouldn't be able to control himself.

Of course, the origin of the woman in front of her is not simple. She is a servant girl that Fan Lou has trained for many years. I heard that she will be introduced to pick up customers soon.

He has been selling wine here for many years, and he knows Fan Lou best. It is a place of ecstasy for men. He has gone in once, but the cost of one night is equivalent to his annual income, which makes him feel heartbroken.

Fanlou, like other brothels in the capital, wants to gain a foothold in the capital by cultivating girls' talents from an early age, such as playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting. The more versatile they are, the more they will be sought after by dignitaries.

As far as he knew, although the girl Li in front of him had not yet been pushed out to receive guests, she already had her own maid, which showed that Fan Lou valued her.

After coming back to his senses, a smile suddenly appeared on his face: "Miss Li, you are here."

This Miss Li often came to his house to drink, and she became familiar with her after coming and going.

He also asked this fairy-like Miss Li why she came to buy wine every time. He even doubted whether Miss Li had already received customers.

Miss Li told him that it would take some time for her to receive customers, and she came here to buy wine because her sorghum wine was the best, unlike other wines that were mixed with water and had a poor taste.

As for why she bought wine, it was to practice her drinking ability. If she drank as soon as she drank after receiving guests, she would not be able to accompany them.
