If the Water Margin

Chapter 141 Blackmail

"Has such a thing happened in the past?" This is the thing that Wuhan University is most interested in. If there were similar events in the past, the burning of Mochou Hall would also be regarded as a similar event to that matter. In this way, it would be much better.

"Well, it has appeared once in the past. About five years ago, in the current Shuixie Pavilion, the brothel used to be very prosperous. It is said that the officials of the county government can often be seen in it. At that time, there was a saying that the whole brothel in Rouge Lane would eventually be swallowed up by it, but I don't know what happened. Overnight, the brothel was ignited by the fire. The fire was as unstoppable as today, and the bitches inside were basically ran out and burned to death. After the brothel was burned down, everyone said that the land was unlucky and unwilling to use it. After more than half a year, the land was bought at a low price and a pavilion was built. However, the business of Shuixie Pavilion is also average now. Although I heard that they gave a lot of money to the sedan chair in Yanggu and asked them to introduce their guests to Shuixie Pavilion, and speaking, there are often some women in Shuixie Pavilion, who have blue eyes and yellow hair, and their breasts (harmonious and horizontal) are very big. Generally speaking, business has to be booming anyway. . But I don't know why this business is neglected. The more people go like this, the fewer people go. I guess it's still the reason why the land is unlucky. The sharp-billed little man shook his head as he spoke, as if the land belonged to his property.

Fanbang woman, this sounds really good. Wu Da doesn't believe in evil. If he can come to Rouge Lane next time, he decided to go to the water pavilion to taste it. Of course, there are more important things to solve now.

"Brother, you know so much." Through a few words of contact, Wu Da has found that this sharp-mouthed man is actually extremely willing to show off what he has mastered. After the cold contact, he only needs to show a slight willingness to listen to the following and praise, and this kind of person will quickly forget everything he knows and say everything he knows. Come out." So, how do you usually deal with this kind of burning of Mochou Hall? To be honest, I haven't worked there for a long time. I'm not afraid of losing my job, but I'm afraid of sticking to some relationship and being dragged away by the government and getting a lawsuit, which will be bad. Once I go to prison, the 80-year-old mother will starve to death at home. Wu Dalang said and wiped his eyes with his head down. How could there be tears in his eyes? It's just that he found that the little guy spent most of his time looking at the burning Mochouguan, and only glanced at himself at the beginning of answering his questions. The memory under this glance should be very vague, coupled with the dim light, if he had some more every time. The additional action of covering his face, even if he doesn't kill the little man, he is much less likely to clearly describe his appearance.

"Actually, you don't have to worry at all." The little man glanced at Wu Da, and Wu Da caught his look through the cracks in his fingers. This glimpse is indeed very short, which makes Wu Da more relieved. In fact, the security of the whole Rouge Lane has not been very good. There is nothing we can do. This is the land of fireworks, and the profits of doing this kind of skin business are really huge. Originally, think about it, it's those women who lie down with two legs, and then only need to hum a few times, whether it's true or false, to make guests happy and spend a lot of money. Lying there is not a heavy job, and the amount of food you eat is not as much as farming. What's more, most prostitutes are sold to brothels, and brothels will not give them money at all, so almost all the money they earn every day. Naturally, everyone is jealous of such a large profit. Gangs, bandits, and even the government are coveted, and there are often fights in Rouge Lane. The man lowered his voice and continued to say, but he did not turn his head. Undoubtedly, compared with Wu Da, the scene of fire in front of him could attract his attention more. It is said that there are several lives every month.

Wu Da pretended to be enlightened and nodded. He knew that this exaggerated action could be found in the eyes of the little man. His learned appearance would definitely make the little man say everything he knew more happily. It's just that Wu Da doesn't want to know those scattered things. He just wants to know the rules for dealing with things that happen in Rouge Lane. According to these rules, he should cover up his behavior as much as possible.

"So brother, don't be afraid." The little man's eyes were firmly attracted by the fire, but he still stretched out his hand and patted Wu Da on the shoulder to show his intimacy. What happens here will not be eye-catching. The whole Rouge Lane is like an independent kingdom, and the laws of other parts of Yanggu are not tested here. Just like the last fire, the government only made a symbolic investigation and hastily closed the case. At that time, it was concluded that the brothel did not use fire well and burned itself. Oh, my God, spontaneous combustion, do you believe it? Such a big building will burn up because of a lampstand or something. Such words are just a reluctant reason. At that time, I was working in Rouge Lane, and I saw with my own eyes that many of the bodies were carried out of the ruins. A complete person, even if burned, should be serialized together. How can it be piece by piece? It is said that when the water pavilion was built to carefully clean the foundation, some mutilated limbs were also found. So...Brother, do you understand that the government will only turn a blind eye to what happened in Rouge Lane, and it should not bother to investigate the real reason. I even think that such a big move as arson is likely to be done by the government. The newcomer in Yanggu County in summer is Wu Song, and even the tiger was killed. It is said that people are extremely fierce. With such a big piece of fat meat in a brothel, the government must raise taxes. In addition, I'm afraid these brothels usually have to take the initiative to send beautiful girls to the government for those people to enjoy. If you do this, there must be some buyers and sellers who don't agree. They set fire to a family and kill chickens for monkeys. Other brothels are afraid, that is, what the government said, they did.

"You are really knowledgeable and insight." Wu Da casually matched. He now knows that the biggest enemy he can escape punishment is no longer these witnesses on Rouge Lane, but his brother Wu Song. Compared with a few years ago, the only change in Yanggu County was the added Wu Song. Moreover, judging from my brother's busyness in recent times, especially after August 8th, my brother has become the actual control of the Yanggu County government. The county magistrate usually doesn't come out to talk much, and occasionally says something, which is also completely managed by Wu Song. It's really evil to think about it.

Speaking of which, maybe the fake county magistrate who was arrested on the night of August 8 is true, and the current county magistrate is only Wu Song to top it. If you think so, it makes a point. Anyway, you must find a way to make Wu Song sure that this matter has nothing to do with him. As long as this, Wu Song will probably turn a blind eye to the incident in Rouge Lane. After all, his main job now is recruitment, and he has no energy to spend time on other issues. Wu Da is I know.

"But..." The sharp-mouthed monkey-brimmed little boy suddenly spoke solemnly: "If there are no other survivors in Mochou Hall, the government is likely to take you to condemn you. After all, a statement is needed for the outside, and the spontaneous combustion statement five years ago is obviously not used again. If the government says that a little servant was bullied by the pimp and then deliberately set fire to him, it seems to be a good explanation for others. There are indeed a lot of things about beating and scolding the servants here. To be honest, sometimes I have the idea of burning a brothel. I just want to think about those white and soft bodies, so I can't do it. But if I hear the government explain the cause of the fire like this, I will believe it. The little man stopped talking and then took a deep breath: "I believe that most people will believe it."

Wu Da felt the bitter chill, and he could hear the meaning of the words. This is no longer a suggestion, but a threat. The little boy obviously wanted to arrest himself and send it to the government to eat that little benefit. Although the little boy sent himself to the county magistrate, he would definitely not get the reward he imagined, and he was likely to be punished. However, this kind of twist will link himself with the fire in the Mochou Hall, and it is impossible for Wu Song not to conduct a detailed investigation. The little man also made it clear that most people would believe it. What does this mean? If he doesn't do what he said, the little man is ready to shout and let the people who come out to watch the scene rush up to take him down, and then he will get a share of silver.

Sure enough, the scoundrels who wander in the market will seize everything to earn money. Wuda now also believes that such people can indeed get many opportunities to sleep with those prostitutes in brothels without paying money. These costless but impeccable blackmails are really useful.

The key point of this blackmail is that although Wu Da understands that people who blackmail him will not get any benefits, the disadvantages it brings to himself are obvious. These threats are really harmful to others and detrimental to themselves. But unfortunately, they don't know this, and they can't explain it, because the murderer is themselves. This matter can't be explained in any case, and it can only be worse and worse.

So... Wu Da calmed down, and the other party obviously did not know what his true identity was. No, he may know, because he just deliberately mentioned Wu Song. Is this an obvious hint? And the extortion was carried out not long after Wu Song was mentioned. This kind of thinking like walking on thin ice brought me an indescribable burden and pressure in my heart. He rushed to a thousand pounds of boulder pressing on his head. He couldn't do it if he wanted to look up at the sky or take a breath to think completely without coercion.

Calm down, calm down, first try to see as a little man of Mochou Hall, don't worry. Wu Da took a deep breath and then pretended to be stunned. Of course, this dress was not completely disguised. Wu Da even had the idea that "this stunned expression is the true portrayal of his heart, and that calmness is pretended."

"Senior." Wu Da's voice trembled a little, and he almost said, "Senior, don't scare me... I've never experienced such a thing and I don't know what to do. If the senior asks me to do something, I will try my best to do it, just ask the senior to show me a clear way. Since the other party does not have a particularly obvious meaning of extortion, you should follow this direction and predict too many things in advance, which will only make the other party put a big question mark on your identity. Even if the other party suspects that he is Wu Da, he is definitely not sure now, otherwise he will definitely negotiate the price directly with him instead of talking about anything else. Wu Da secretly clenched his fist without giving him the opportunity to verify his ideas. It's just that his fist is not so strong, but he can clearly feel the sticky sweat in his hand.

"This is easy to do." The sharp-billed monkey-gown no longer looked at the fire in Mochou Hall, but stared at Wu Da's face. This sudden look made Wu Da have no chance to dodge.

Wu Da also knows that the more you dodge at this time, the more flaws there will be. The brothel is the place where all three religion and nine streams come, and the young man in this brothel must be well-informed. As he said, since he has worked in this rouge alley where people often die for at least five years, how can he be a fool? Any clues will definitely be thoroughly analyzed in his heart. If he uses it now, he will be seen through in an instant.

Wu Da made an anxious and attentive look. This expression was not pretended, and Wu Da knew it clearly.

"Continuedly, this kind of thing is to give a little money to the brothers. You also do this. You should know that we don't usually earn much. If we live on that dead money, who else is willing to live in Rouge Lane? It depends on other oil and water. So, if I make some money on this, don't blame me. If one day, if I need your help, it doesn't matter if you speak boldly. As a brother, I will definitely try my best to cooperate and never resent it. The sharp-mouthed little man shook his head and said.

The meaning of asking for money is already obvious. At this time, Wu Da felt relieved that people who asked for money were the best solution, because their purpose was simple, and they could often be sent away directly after spending money. Wu Da wanted to ask how much he wanted, but when he was about to say this, Wu Da remembered a question.

The problem is that I am penniless at this time. His wallet was with his blood clothes, and he was abandoned in the cloakroom of Mochou Hall in a panic. Otherwise, as long as you take out a dozen or twenty taels from the money bag, you can send the little boy in front of you. After all, how much can he earn in a month? I don't think I've seen eleven or two ingots. Wu Da thought proudly and regrettedly.

If only I could go back to Guihua Tower to get money, but in that case, my identity will also be revealed. Alas, why was he so negligent at that time and forgot the money in the sea of fire? Now he is penniless, which is really difficult to walk.

"This senior." Wu Da decided to tell the truth. After all, even if he lies about flowers, it is impossible to turn empty money bags into silver. I did have some savings, but when I came out today, I was in a hurry. The money was still in the Mochou Hall and didn't take it out. Now I think about it, it has been divided by the fire. After the fireworks went out, I looked for it, and I guess I could find some weights that melted into silver water..." When Wu Da said this, he didn't know what else to say next. He could only raise his head and look at the sharp-mouthed face, waiting for his reply.

At the same time, Wu Da also thought to himself that if there was no one around, how confident he could kill this person head-on. Although this little guy is taller than himself, his arms and legs are not thick, and it seems that he is not engaged in any physical work in the brothel. However, what physical work can be done in the brothel? Those bitches have their own legs and do not need to be moved back and forth by the little guy. Otherwise, those breasts (harmonious vertical and horizontal) are still If you don't wait for the guests to touch it, you have to be caught by these little ones first.

"Silver is in the Mochou Hall?" The little man's eyes were full of anger. He grabbed Wu Da's neck and raised it. Looking at the meaning, he wanted to pick up Wu Da. But he obviously underestimated Wu Da's weight and his strength, so after only a few attempts, he gave up his efforts, but he still grabbed Wu Da's neckline. Don't make it up. Will any little man put his private money in a brothel when he goes out? Who doesn't know that the money put in the brothel is equivalent to giving it to others? Even if the old man doesn't think about the little man you are familiar with, why don't you take all the money when you leave? You dwarf, you don't make up lies well. Don't you make fun of me? The man's expression became more and more angry, and the blue veins in his hand burst out.

This suddenly gave Wu Da confidence, because he obviously felt that the strength on the little boy's arm was not strong, but the blue veins on his arm meant that he was doing his best. Such an opponent may be able to fight.

Of course, this action of sharp-billed monkey's cheeks also made Wuda have an unexpected gain. It was at the collar of the little man that Wu Da clearly saw the word "Mochou". It seems that the so-called brothel logo is here. It is too close to the head and the words are very small. If you can't pull up your clothes and look at it, it is really difficult to find it in this dim light. Following this prompt, Wu Da also saw the words on the neckline of the little boy. Those two words are not very easy to identify, but they can be vaguely identified if they are carefully read.

The little boy with a sharp-billed monkey's cheeks, and the words on the neckline are: water plait.
