The Bully General's Spiritual Husband

Soon it was lunchtime. Yin Baicai put the food on the table and prepared to call Ge Tian and the others to eat.

Ge Tian and the others walked in, and just like yesterday, they first went to the water vat and washed their hands with the water in the wooden basin, and then sat down at the table.

Yin Baicai handed them the scooped-up rice.

Ge Tian looked at Li Zhe and asked curiously, "Where did Cai Ge'er Li Zhe go? We saw him heading in the direction of town."

"Oh, he said he was going to town to visit someone he had been friends with on the battlefield."

The conversation started from there. After finishing their meal, Ge Tian and the others rested for about half an hour before going back to work.

Li Mo whispered in Yin Baicai's ear, "Mother, Mo Mo is sleepy."

Yin Baicai picked Li Mo up and said, "Little Mo, let me carry you back to your room to sleep!"

I helped Li Mo take off her outer garment, and she fell asleep shortly afterward.

Looking at the sleeping person, Yin Baicai couldn't understand why the child would call him "mother"!

Could it be that I have something in common with his mother?

Although I haven't seen this brat's mother many times, I remember the two of them not looking alike!

Besides, his mother was a woman and he was a boy, so how could they resemble each other?

Yin Baicai pulled her clothes and smelled them. This little brat said I smelled nice, but all I smelled on me was the scent of laundry soap!

It’s weird.

Upon arriving in town, Li Zhe looked around and, seeing no one passing by, knocked on the door of an old courtyard.

Lin Xing walked over and opened the door. He saw that it was Li Zhe outside and led the person inside: "Boss, you're here. We'll talk inside. The rest of them are all here."

Li Zhe nodded.

The men waiting inside the house saw Li Zhe arrive and immediately stood up and saluted: "General."

Li Zhe waved his hand: "Sit down and talk."

He Qi said angrily, "Among the group of people we were investigating, there was a porter named Yang Hu. Recently, someone saw him at Hua Man Lou in Qingshui Town, and we also found out that they were secretly trading Wushi San in the building."

After listening, Li Zhe pondered for a moment and said, "Don't alert them. Let's secretly follow this porter and see who his supplier is."

He Qi and the others nodded: "Understood."

After discussing the matter, Lin Xing suddenly brought up to Li Zhe: "By the way, boss, I also discovered a few days ago that the people from Yong Sheng Casino were inquiring about your brother-in-law's whereabouts."

Li Zhe frowned. He had already ordered people to cover up Cai Ge'er's whereabouts, so why was this gambling den still being investigated?

Besides, it's not like a young man like Yin Baicai winning a little money at the gambling den would attract their attention!

"Lin Xing, go to the gambling den and find out what Cai Ge'er did there that made the people there investigate him repeatedly."

Li Zhe still didn't quite believe the young man who was spouting nonsense, so he had to send someone to investigate himself.

Lin Xing: "Yes."

He Qi and the others all knew that Li Zhe was engaged to a young man in the village, but they had never met this future brother-in-law.

It was only last time, when the boss had someone hide his information, that I heard the name of this brother-in-law from the boss himself.

Jiang Su suddenly brought it up: "By the way, boss, should we check out Hongxi Restaurant, which has become quite famous in town recently? I heard that many customers go back for a second time after eating there once. Do they add Wushi Powder to their dishes? Otherwise, why would people remember it so fondly?"

Upon hearing Jiang Su mention Hongxilou, Li Zhe immediately thought of the restaurant that Cai Ge'er had partnered with.

"No need, this restaurant probably doesn't use Wushi Powder." He thought to himself: Most of the customers are probably the "points members" that Brother Cai mentioned, and they also have the recipes that he provided to the restaurant owner.

These are indeed good ideas for attracting customers. Besides, as long as a restaurant has its own unique features, it will naturally attract many customers!

Take "points" for example. You can earn points for eating out, and you can also use them as money. Naturally, there are many repeat customers who want to use their accumulated points as money.

Jiang Su and the others weren't surprised to see their boss so certain, since the higher-ups had said that the investigation into the Five Stone Powder was entirely under their boss's command.

They just need to do as instructed.

They traveled all the way from the Northwest, destroying many Wushisan production sites and arresting many people smuggling Wushisan.

Later, this group got wind of the situation and went into hiding. Their discovery of Yang Hu's whereabouts was purely accidental. As long as they followed this clue, they wouldn't have to worry about not catching the bigger fish later.

Li Zhe also wanted to sneak into the Flower Pavilion himself to see if he could find any other clues inside.

He wanted to capture the people before they caused any trouble in Qingshui Town.

Otherwise, if the townspeople discover the Five-Stone Powder and panic, it will be even more difficult to catch that group of people.

Fortunately, those who use Five-Stone Powder are all doing it in secret and haven't made it public yet, otherwise His Majesty wouldn't have sent me to secretly arrest them.

Since brothels like Hua Man Lou only open at night, Li Zhe had no choice but to wait for nightfall to fall in town.

Following Li Zhe's instructions, Lin Xing went to Yong Sheng Casino alone.

He deliberately concealed his identity and disguised himself slightly.

I happened to be at the same table as Lai Mazi and Zhou Xiaosan.

Standing next to the two, I heard Lai Mazi say to Zhou Xiaosan, "Have you run into that pretty boy again? I haven't seen him for days. He tricked me last time."

Zhou Xiaosan also regretted that he hadn't come last time and had missed the little gambling god's winning streak.

Zhou Xiaosan mocked Lai Mazi: "It's all your fault for being stupid. You didn't even see through the little god of wealth's trick."

"What the hell are you saying? Zhou Xiaosan thinks he's so smart, but how come you still don't know that pretty boy's name? Last time you were chasing after him like a puppy, and look what happened!"

Zhou Xiaosan could easily see that Lai Mazi was jealous. He had at least managed to talk to the Little God of Wealth, but Lai Mazi had mocked him from the start. If he wanted to get rich with the Little God of Wealth in the future, he was dreaming.

And then there's that scarred guy from Little God of Wealth; his own brother can make money with this skill, but he won't let anyone else come.

I, Zhou Xiaosan, will always be guarding this gambling den, and I'll see the Little God of Wealth again someday.

If I could follow him, what would I have to worry about for the rest of my life!

I'm sure I can win back all the money I lost before. Maybe I, Zhou Xiaosan, can even marry a beautiful wife and live in a big house by gambling.

Zhou Xiaosan didn't want to sit at the same table as Lai Mazi, so he walked past him and went to the table next to him.

Lai Mazi spat in the direction Zhou Xiaosan had left, "What's so great about him? He's just a lackey who fawns over pretty boys."

As Lin Xing listened to their conversation, he seemed to be deep in thought. Who was this "pretty boy" they were talking about?

He smiled and moved closer to Lai Mazi: "Brother, who is this pretty boy you're talking about? He sounds really impressive."

Lai Mazi looked Lin Xing up and down, "New here?"

"Yes, bro, I've heard everyone talking about a pretty boy. Who is he?"

"Why should I tell you?" Lai Mazi sneered, then made a gesture towards Lin Xing as if asking for money.

Lin Xingcai wasn't going to tolerate him: "Fine, if you don't want to tell me, I'll go ask that guy from earlier. He seems like he'll definitely tell me."

Lai Mazi angrily said, "Go away... get the hell out of my way."

When Lin Xing walked to the next table, Lai Mazi tried to trip him, but Lin Xing deliberately stepped hard on the instep of Lai Mazi's outstretched foot.

Lai Mazi screamed in agony, like a pig being slaughtered. "Ah—"

But nobody cared; everyone was busy gambling.

Lai Mazi wanted to attack Lin Xing, but was stopped by the guards at the gambling den with a look.

Lai Mazi dared not cause trouble at Yongsheng Gambling House; he couldn't afford to offend the people there.

He glared at Lin Xing, who then raised an eyebrow and sneered.

Zhou Xiaosan didn't miss the two's little tricks. When Lin Xing came over to get close to him, the two buddies bragged to Lin Xing about Yin Baicai's achievements at the gambling den.

After playing for a while and finding out enough information, Lin Xing prepared to go back and report to Li Zhe.
