Chapter 361 You come and I go
"I saved you just for the sake of convenience. You don't have to have any other ideas. When I return to Xijing, you can come back with me and do some sewing and cooking at home. I am a wealthy man, so you won't go without a bite of food. If you still have other ideas, just leave. As for how Boss Zang deals with you, it is none of my business. Just listen and understand."
Zhao Yushu leaned lazily on the couch. His voice was neither loud nor soft, and could be heard from inside and outside the door.
"Mother." The woman held her daughter's hand and glanced at the old woman.
The old woman's eyes moved several times, and finally she sighed: "It's all up to Master Bai."
Zhao Yushu's words reached Zang Niu's ears verbatim. Jiao Niang and Zang Niu were sitting face to face, with an old man next to them.
"Aniu, tell me, what are you going to do with this white boss?"
Zang Niu leaned forward respectfully and said, "Master Xia, the latest news is that Zhao Yushu appeared in Nanyang, killed the giant ape of the Yuan family in Xiangcheng in front of the people of the city, and then disappeared."
The old man called Master Xia paused and asked, "He came to Xiangzhou?"
"Not yet. The city gate officer reports once a day that no cultivators similar to him have entered the city. However, according to past rumors, Zhao Yushu is vindictive. If he knows that we are the ones who posted the bounty, he will definitely come to Xiangzhou."
Master Xia pondered for a moment: "This man is ruthless to his enemies, but he is very kind and righteous. Do you want this Boss Bai to take advantage of his kindness and righteousness?"
"Yes, this man surnamed Bai is generous and magnanimous. I can't help but want to make friends with him. Moreover, he has nothing to do with our Cao Gang. As long as he becomes famous, we can let him contact Zhao Yushu after Zhao Yushu comes."
Master Xia hesitated: "This is just an idle move. The focus should still be on our own people. The leader has already gone to Dongdu, but at most, it will take seven or eight days. If Zhao Yushu doesn't come, we will have worked in vain."
"I know this danger, Ah Jiao, you are responsible for Boss Bai's matter. Spread the news that you rescued those three people tonight, and let everyone in Xiangzhou know that a kind and righteous man has come."
Gillian nodded: "But this Boss Bai may not really want to save people. He sent me away, probably because he has some thoughts about that pair of girls."
Zang Niu sneered, "That would be the best. Then we can put the blame on Zhao Yushu as well. It depends on whether the Academy can save face or not."
Dongdu Academy welcomed a guest who came from Xiangzhou.
"Master Zeng, I am sorry for not coming to welcome you."
The leader of the Cao Gang was not a monk, but he was extremely scheming and resourceful. In just over ten years, he managed to run the Xiangzhou Cao Gang in full swing and made the business extremely huge.
The person responsible for receiving him was also an ordinary person, Wei You, the third disciple of the Tianji Pavilion of the academy.
"Mr. San, Zeng is terrified."
Gang leader Zeng bowed to the ground with an extremely sincere attitude.
"Master Zeng, why do you say that? Please come in."
The two men went to a living room together. None of the other gentlemen showed up. The reason was simple. In this world, force is not the most important factor. Violence may bring temporary benefits, but it is not suitable for long-term development.
Similarly, if a mortal comes to the academy to discuss something, and the academy directly sends an insider over, it will be highly suspected of threatening with force.
"This time, I am here for Mr. Liu."
Gang leader Zeng got straight to the point and took out a bounty order: "My gang issued a bounty for Mr. Six a few days ago. Mr. Three must have heard about it."
Wei You took the reward, looked at it, and nodded with a smile: "Indeed, I wonder how Junior Brother has offended your sect?"
Gang leader Zeng waved his hands hastily: "Don't say that I didn't offend him. Even if I did, the Cao Gang wouldn't dare to do such a thing."
Wei You frowned: "It seems that Gang Leader Zeng has something to hide."
Gang leader Zeng sighed and said, "The Cao Gang is just a small Jianghu sect that makes a living on the river. I am just an ordinary person. Some people in the gang will act without considering my mood, and there are some people that our gang dare not offend."
Wei You handed over a cup of tea and said, "I wonder if you could tell me who is the one who borrowed your help?"
Gang leader Zeng gave a bitter laugh and said, "Mr. San is trying to kill the Cao Gang members."
The implication is that one dare not say it at all, because if one says it, one will be expelled from the Cao Gang.
"But after thinking it over, I feel that it is wrong to hide it from the academy, so I came here alone, just asking the academy to give me a few days."
Wei You narrowed his eyes: "What do you mean?"
"Seven days, just seven days, I will catch the bad apple in the gang and give an explanation to the academy. If I can't do it, my head will be left in the academy."
Wei You opened his eyes, smiled, picked up the teacup and took a sip: "The leader is very scheming."
The panic expression on Gang Leader Zeng's face disappeared instantly, and he also picked up the teacup: "Mr. San's wisdom is unmatched in the world. Today I see that his reputation is well-deserved. I trust Mr. Liu."
Wei You nodded: "What a coincidence, I believe it too."
On the top of the book tower, Ali frowned: "What kind of riddle are they talking about? I don't understand."
The wolf girl kicked a copper ball in the air out of boredom: "No one can understand what Third Brother is saying, but Junior Brother will definitely suffer again."
Meng Yan waved his fan: "Why?"
The wolf girl raised her head to the sky and said, "No reason. Besides me, I have never seen you protect my junior brother. He is only in the first level of heaven, but you dared to let him break into Prince Fu's mansion. I don't know if you are big-hearted or evil-minded."
Meng Yan looked embarrassed: "Don't we all come here this way?"
Ali's voice was cold: "He wants to go his own way. As his brothers and sisters, we just need to protect him from being killed by Neijing. As for the rest, he should have realized it long ago."
Zhao Yushu, who knew nothing about the affairs of Dongdu, was gambling in a gambling house outside. The three women were sent to the house temporarily arranged by Jiao Niang. He did not plan to see them tonight, so he let them plot loudly and he would rent an inn tomorrow.
As for what the Cao Gang wanted to do with him, he didn't care at all. Looking at what they did to the two masters of spear and sword, he knew that there was a high probability that they would praise him first and then kill him. How long he could live with the identity of Bai Jintang was nothing more than to see if he was still useful.
However, he has already infiltrated the Cao Gang. Although he is just a used character, he is also an Infernal Affairs gang member.
Zhao Yushu played a few rounds of mahjong of this era and was a little depressed after losing. Seeing that it was getting light in the sky, he asked directly where Jiao Niang was and left yawning.
"Where is Mr. Bai going?" Jiao Niang was a little surprised. After playing for a whole night, this guy was actually going to that place.
"Dirty Street, isn't there such a place?" Zhao Yushu scratched his ears and realized that Jiao Niang's reaction was very interesting. It seemed that she didn't want him to go to Dirty Street. Could it be that Dirty Street was not the territory of Cao Gang?
"No, I'm just curious. How did you know about Dirty Street? It's not a good place. It's full of good and bad people."
Zhao Yushu burst out laughing: "Can he be worse than Gou Tang?"
Jiao Niang was choked immediately.
"Forget it, since Jiao Niang won't tell me, I'll go find out myself." Zhao Yushu stood up. He didn't want to go to Zang Street yesterday, but now he has joined the Cao Gang by chance, so there is nothing to worry about. When he gets to Zang Street, he can just report the name of the Cao Gang.
"Hey, why don't you take a rest before you go? It's just dawn."
"My dear, Master Bai has to let you know that I am very impatient and don't want to wait for anything. I will go out and find an inn. I will send someone to tell you to send the three to me."
Zhao Yushu ignored the sound of his wife gritting her teeth behind him, picked up his sword and swaggered out of the dog hall.
A new day, a new Xiangzhou, here comes Lao Zhao.
