Chapter 64: Money or Death?
As soon as the sky got dark, Gu Ming led the people to take action.
In order not to alert the enemy, he only brought Zhu Ba, Duan Fei and five others, pretending to be going to a gambling house to catch a wanted criminal.
According to the news he overheard, the other party will take action tonight, and the specific time is unclear.
But usually after midnight.
Because most people are already asleep during this period, it is more conducive to entering the hospital.
After arriving in the west of the city, Gu Ming first pretended to behave and led a team to check several gambling shops.
"Several arresters, our gambling house has always been operating legally, so we dare not hide any wanted criminals..."
"If you hide it or not, you still need to check it out."
"Thank you for your hard work, this is my wish, not much, but a little money for tea."
This is the gray income of the constable.
Gu Ming didn't want to collect this kind of money, but he didn't want to disappoint his subordinates.
There is no benefit, who will work hard for you?
So he signaled Zhu Ba to accept it first and then give it to others.
When it was dark and there were few pedestrians on the road, I led a crowd to a remote place and officially revealed the purpose of the operation tonight.
"Listen, this team has learned an important information. Some thief may attack a wealthy family named Zhou tonight..."
After listening to the reason, several head-in-chiefs looked at each other a few times and began to get excited.
Since Gu Bantou has gone through such a lot of trouble, I think the noise will not be small tonight. Although it will take certain risks, it is also a great opportunity to earn rewards.
"Don't worry, I will do my best to capture these thieves."
"Well, this is the specific plan..."
Gu Ming explained in detail until everyone fully understood it, then waved his hand: "Okay, start taking action."
The group quickly hid their bodies and quietly marched towards the Zhou Mansion.
...
"Bangbangbang~ The third update of the afternoon is safe!"
As the sound of beating people rang out in the distance, three black shadows suddenly appeared on the courtyard wall on the right side of the Zhou Mansion.
"Swoosh..."
All three of them were very skilled and easily rushed up the courtyard wall that was more than meter high.
After observing for a moment, the man on the left whispered: "Brother, no one..."
A thick-browed man with a masked face raised his finger and shook it: "You can't help but be surprised. Zhou's mansion must have hired a guard."
"Those guards are almost all cowardly..."
Another subordinate spoke in disdainful tone.
"Okay, don't talk, be careful to alarm the servants in the mansion."
"Brother, Zhou's mansion is so big this time, it seems that he has to catch a servant and ask what room the surname Zhou sleeps in."
"Yeah, go down..."
The group of three people quietly jumped down the courtyard wall and scattered, sneaking and looking around carefully.
The Zhou Mansion is indeed not small, covering an area of more than ten acres, with several entry points, nearly twenty courtyards of all sizes and several lofts. It is indeed a very troublesome thing to find one by one.
After traveling through the small courtyard, I happened to meet an unlucky servant who got up to let the water go.
This guy was too lazy to walk a few more steps to the cottage.
The flowers are so beautiful that they should be fertilized.
"Soul..."
What a big shot.
It was just a pleasure, and the back of my neck suddenly hurts...
"Don't call!"
After a while, the servant opened his eyes, but his mouth was covered with a cold knife shaking in front of him.
"Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
The miserable servant quickly shook his head and nodded again.
"Tell me, where is your master sleeping in tonight? If you dare to lie, you will be killed."
"Well... in the East Courtyard..."
In order to save his life, the servant betrayed the master without any hesitation.
"Bang!"
Just after finishing the talk, I was slapped out by a palm again.
"Walk!"
At this time, in an elegant wing room in the East Courtyard, Zhou Zi was sleeping soundly, and he was still hugging a woman in his arms.
This woman is the newly-seen concubine Shuang'er.
This woman is indeed as beautiful as a flower, and she is born with a fragrance, which makes countless men obsessed.
This is why he surpasses Qunfang and becomes Qunfang's courtesan.
It is not easy to be close to the beauty with you.
First of all, you have to be rich.
Secondly, you have to take your luck, because there are many people who come to Rio every day, and even if you drink a cup of tea with you, you will have to pay several taels of silver.
After hearing the name, Zhou Ziping went to make an appointment with him once, and he couldn't extricate himself from then on.
I don’t know how much money I spent on Shuang'er.
Later, she really didn't want other men to get involved in her. She wanted to take over the courtesan, so she asked someone to make a decision. In the end, she got what she wanted and spent 3,000 taels of silver to redeem her and took her as a concubine.
"Click~"
The door tray was suddenly picked up from outside.
Then three figures quickly slipped into the room and closed the door.
At this time, Gu Ming was on the roof not far away, and saw the whereabouts of the three of them.
However, he did not take action immediately and was still waiting for the most appropriate opportunity.
"ah……"
In the wing room, Zhou Ziping suddenly woke up.
I subconsciously wanted to scream out loud, but someone pointed it out and immediately lost my voice.
Similarly, Shuang'er was also lit up and could not speak. She could only look at the three black shadows in the room with horror.
"Hehe, don't be afraid of beauty. As long as you are good, I promise not to hurt you."
The thick-browed man in the lead stretched out his hand with a greedy face and gently stroked Frost'er's tender and smooth face.
Shuang'er couldn't speak, so she could only nod her head desperately in tears.
Generally speaking, she had guessed her ending, and she was afraid she would be kidnapped...
Although I don't want to do so, it's better than losing my life.
It’s just that I blame myself for my hardship and I will never be able to get rid of my life that I have possessed.
"If you have the surname Zhou, listen well, the three of us brothers came out to make money and not to kill our lives.
So, you can survive by cooperating well, understand?"
Zhou Ziping nodded desperately.
"Yeah!" The thick-browed man nodded with satisfaction, glanced at Shuang'er again: "Since you are willing to spend 3,000 taels of silver to buy a beauty, probably, spending 5,000 taels to buy a life is not a loss, right?"
Zhou Ziping was stunned for a moment, his face became extremely ugly.
You know, his large mansion only spent 2,000 taels of silver. Even if he went to the capital, 5,000 taels of silver could be considered a huge sum of money.
The reason why he was willing to spend three thousand taels of silver to redeem Shuang'er was not because he was rich and powerful. He was really completely confused and could not stop.
"Oh? It seems that Mr. Zhou wants money but lives?"
"Then..."
His subordinates cooperated with a behead gesture.
Zhou Ziping was so shocked that he shook his head quickly.
At this time, the thick-browed man reached out to untie the acupoints at the right time, but put the knife on his neck.
"Get ready, you need money or death!"
"The three heroes, Zhou doesn't want to do it. It's really... no, no..."
Before he could finish speaking, a thick-browed big man pressed his knife and immediately cut a bloody mouth on Zhou Zi's flat neck.
"No, no, no..." Zhou Ziping was shocked and quickly changed his words: "There is really not that much cash at home."
The big man couldn't help but sneer: "You think we just came out to make a fortune? There are silver notes, gold ingots, etc. If you dare to play tricks, don't blame me for turning against you and letting you lose both your wealth."
