The selection meeting ended in a way that no one expected. The Du family, who had always been arrogant, walked out of the city lord's mansion this time with their heads lowered like eggplants beaten by frost.

Like the Du family, there is the Shi family. Although it appears that there is one more place than the Du family, Shi Lei may never have the face to see anyone again.

On the way back to Shi Mansion, Shi Lei's eyes were dull and he remained silent, staring at the yellowing clothes on his lower body.

Gradually, his expression became ferocious, and he lowered his head and roared viciously.

"Qin Lan, I want you to die!"

On the other hand, Du Gang, who had left the city lord's palace, stared at Li Han's walking back with cold eyes, and said to Du Juan next to him: "Are everyone ready?"

Du Juan whispered: "We have gone over there a long time ago, and we will tie up the Li family's chef tonight!"

"good"

Du Gang sneered and said to himself: Li Han, there is no need for you to be arrogant in the hall today. After tonight, I will see how you can still laugh.

And you, Huang Litian, leave my Du family, I wonder what you will do to support the people of Tianji City!

Du Gang took one last look at the city lord's mansion, snorted coldly, and headed back home.

In the lobby, Qin Lan thought for a moment and said to Huang Litian: "Lord Huang, I have something to ask of you."

Huang Litian glanced at Qin Lan in surprise and replied: "Master Qin has helped me such a big favor today, do we still need to be polite between us? But it doesn't matter."

Qin Lan said sternly: "The Li family's business has expanded rapidly in the past two days. The Du family must be unwilling to be suppressed, and they want to take the opportunity to counterattack. Especially after today's meeting, I am afraid it will be easy to jump over the wall and use any means!"

Huang Litian's face condensed slightly when he heard this, and he asked aloud: "Young master Qin, what are your plans? No need to beat around the bush. I will fully cooperate with Mr. Huang if he can do it."

"Well"

After hearing this, Qin Lan's eyebrows relaxed slightly and she said:

"If Shi Lei hadn't accidentally reminded me today, I might not have cared about this matter. I suggest that we send someone to protect the chef of the Li Family Restaurant, Big Mouth."

Huang Litian slapped his thigh suddenly and said in a deep voice: "Yes, why didn't I think of it? I heard that the new dishes of the Li family were all developed by that big mouth. If the Du family really tied them up, then they would do it again.

This is Du Gang’s chance to check and balance me!”

Having said that, Huang Litian immediately stood up and ordered the guards beside him: "Immediately send a team of city defenders to protect the safety of the Li family's chef Dazui. If anyone is found to have evil intentions, there is no need to report it, and they will be killed on the spot!

"

"yes"

The guard responded, turned around and trotted away.

If Shi Lei knew at this moment that his unintentional words reminded Qin Lan and ruined the Du family's good deeds, he wonders whether he would be given two more tricks.

Huang Litian thought for a while while holding the tea, and said to Qin Lan: "You think, if we really catch the Du family, should we just cut off their last quota?"

Don't underestimate this quota. In the past two years, due to fear of the business strength of the Du family and the Shi family, the quotas that Huang Litian can hold for him to allocate are very few. An extra quota means coming from other places.

The cultivators in Tianji City have more efforts, and the benefits to Tianji City as a whole can be said to be more than one.

Although Huang Litian is not very noble, at least he is always concerned about the development of Tianji City.

Qin Lan thought for a moment and said in deep thought: "I think it's better not to do this yet. Dogs will jump over the wall when they are anxious. Beating the Du family to death with a stick will easily trigger a strong counterattack from them."

, it is not good for Tianji City during this period."

"Furthermore, judging from the current situation, the Li family has shown enough potential. As long as the Li family is stabilized or even won over, the Du family's business will disappear from Tianji City within a year at most. At that time, the Shi family will be unable to support itself alone, and its strength will be re-evaluated.

Cards, City Lord Huang has the final say on how to allocate quotas."

Listening to Qin Lan's words, Huang Litian's expression changed from approval to shock, and he couldn't help but admire Qin Lan's thoughtfulness.

Putting away the shock on his face, Huang Litian sorted out his emotions and said, "Okay, I'll do as you said."

The night is like ink, splashing over Tianji City

The new moon is like a hook, hanging in the sky

As the saying goes, the moon is dark and the wind is high

The leader of the army, Gao Qiu, and the troops sent by the Du family thought so, so they met in front of Dazui's house.

Doody really wanted to kidnap Big Mouth away, but the owner of the family gave him a death order this time. If he didn't bring Big Mouth back, he wouldn't have to go back.

But before I could start, I met Captain Gao Qiu who was about to find a stall to have a drink when he suddenly received an order to leave the team.

Captain Gao Qiu was very unhappy. Life was short. He had been in the city defense army for more than ten years without making a name for himself. Every time he wanted to be promoted, he was inexplicably rejected. They said it was based on seniority. Gao Qiu

My qualifications are still young and need further training.

So he endured and endured, and his qualifications did not improve much, but his hair was lost first.

Then, finding a street stall to drink some wine every day after get off work became the only pleasure in Gao Qiu's life.

After receiving the order, Gao Qiu only wanted to think about one thing, and that was to catch the culprit who made him work overtime, beat him up, and then loot the culprit. Oh no, he wanted to collect some fines and then find a place.

Have a drink and make amends for yourself.

Seeing that something was not going well, Du Di cursed inwardly that his idea was too short-sighted. It didn't work and he was hit by someone first. However, he was also smart. He quickly put on a flattering smile on his face and moved towards Gao Qiu.

"Master, it's not late and you are still busy. It's been hard enough."

Gao Qiu had no expression on his face and looked at Du Di, the meaning in his eyes was obvious.

I'll just quietly watch you fooling around here

Who has nothing to do at night and hangs out in front of someone else's house? He is not a fool to be too demanding.

Gao Qiu waved his hand behind him, and the city defenders behind him suddenly surrounded him. Du Di saw something was wrong and said with a smile, "Master, what are you doing? I just took a few of my relatives out for a walk."

stroll"

Seeing that Gao Qiu's expression remained unchanged, Du Di gritted his teeth, took out a bag of copper coins from his waist, and said with a smile: "A little thought is not a sign of respect. I will give you some wine for the officer to have fun."

Gao Qiu weighed the money bag in his hand. He was very satisfied with the weight. He looked at Du Di with a hint of appreciation inadvertently.

Yes, this guy is very smart

But this alone is not enough. If something happens, I will not be able to handle it.

When Du Di saw that Gao Qiu had put away the money bag but did not leave, he suddenly understood. He lamented that things couldn't be done tonight, and immediately called everyone in the Du family to go back to their homes.

Before leaving, Du Di gave Gao Qiu a look as if he hadn't been here tonight. Gao Qiu nodded slightly and watched Du Di withdraw before turning around to close the team.

You all know, this is called attempted crime.

The next night was another dark and windy night

Du Di led a few people and sneakily walked toward the door of Dazui's house. Suddenly, a pleading voice came from the darkness.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

"What are you here for?"

Du Di's expression froze. His grandma's idea, what kind of idea is this? How could it be blocked by the same person?

This time, Gao Qiu brought only a few people. After all, if there are more people, the money will be less. It’s not cost-effective.

That's right, his high-demand sixth sense has been telling him today that he can still be blocked here today. He didn't know why he believed it, but he was really blocked.

Isn’t this pocket money coming?

What Ling Gaoqiu didn't expect was that it was the wronged person from yesterday.

Du Di touched his waist. It was empty. Yesterday's mission was not successful. Du Gang really didn't let him enter the house. He didn't even replenish his money bag. What could he do to save himself from losing money?

After hesitating for a moment, Du Gang slowly squatted down, took out a few banknotes from his boots, put them on Gao Qiu's hand with a pained expression, and said: "Master, they are all here, please come

Lord, please show mercy!"

Gao Qiu made an OK gesture with his hand, and immediately gathered up the team to leave. Du Di looked very bad, lowered his head and remained silent, his heart was bleeding, and he just wanted to cry at this moment.

That was the private money he had saved over the years behind the back of his mother-in-law...

Another night passed without incident

The third night

There is no moon tonight, and the small wind blowing from the street blows on Doody, feeling a little cold

He was now dressed in rags, his body was in tatters, and his cheeks were severely sunken toward the middle.

There was no way, the task was not completed, Dudy still couldn't enter the house, and the child would almost forget what he looked like if he didn't go back. Dudy held his breath and came to the door of Dazui again.

His expression was a little complicated, as he looked at the familiar road, the familiar gate, and the familiar people at the door.

What is this? Three visits to the thatched cottage?

When Gao Qiu saw Du Di coming, he immediately became energetic. He had been more prosperous in the past two days and his overall mental state was much better.

Gao Qiu didn't come here on purpose this time. He just drank too much and wandered around. I don't know how he ended up here.

Seeing the despair on Du Di's face, Gao Qiu sighed and said, "Should we do it directly or go through the procedures again?"

Du Di laughed miserably and said, "You'd better take me away directly. I won't tie this guy up anymore."

Gao Qiu shook his head helplessly. Maybe this was his fate. He reached out and tied Du Di's hands and took him to the government office.
