I'm the villain in the book

Chapter 874
Soon, the table was filled with dishes and a pot of shochu brewed by the shop itself.

The inn is a small inn, so the food is naturally not very good, but it is not too bad, basically the level of home-cooked food.

And Wei Changtian didn't dislike it either, he just chatted with Gu Paner while drinking and eating.

Gu Pan'er knew Wei Changtian's identity, although he was curious as to why Wei Changtian lived in such a small inn, he was tactful and didn't ask any further questions.

On the contrary, Wei Changtian roughly understood her current situation after chatting for a while.

Yesterday's assassination destroyed most of Manxianglou, and even killed a few people, so it was impossible to continue to operate. The boss of Manxianglou temporarily asked all the girls to find a place to stay, waiting for further "notice".

According to Gu Pan'er, there is a high probability that she will have two destinations next.

Either wait for Manxiang Building to be renovated and continue to go back to "work".

Or they are sold to other brothels to "work".

In short, continuing to "go to work" will not change because of such an accident.

However, Gu Pan'er has also saved a lot of silver over the years, and just happened to encounter such a thing again, so he thought of taking this opportunity to discuss with the procuress to see if he could redeem himself.

Gu Pan'er is not an official prostitute, so the redemption does not require official approval and other procedures.

It's just that even if she is not the top card in Manxianglou, she can be regarded as a red card, so the price of redemption is not cheap, it costs a full five thousand taels.

Five thousand taels, this is already an unimaginable number for ordinary people, even Wei Changtian was slightly taken aback when he heard it for the first time.

"Five thousand taels? Is it so expensive?"

He took a sip of wine, recalled that Chu Xianping only spent five hundred taels to redeem Song Li in Jizhou City, and said casually: "I had a friend before who only spent five hundred taels to redeem his confidante. Two, I thought they should be about the same."

"Young Master Five Hundred and Two, your friend's confidante should have just entered the Goulan not long ago, right?"

Gu Pan'er lowered his head, and explained softly: "It's cheap for newcomers to redeem themselves, and generally just add a little more to the selling price."

"But like a concubine, it often takes the amount that can be earned in five years at once."

"Is it?"

Seeing Gu Pan'er with a lonely expression, Wei Changtian put down his wine glass and nodded slightly.

This is the first time he knows these things.

Amount earned in five years
Gu Pan'er's red card overnight fee is three or five taels, even if he receives a customer once every three days, he can indeed earn about five thousand taels in five years.

Therefore, if she wants to redeem herself now, she has to spend so much money at once.

Good guy.

According to this calculation, if Yang Liushi wanted to redeem her body, wouldn't she have to run for at least one hundred thousand taels?
Fortunately, the latter "run away", otherwise I might not have been able to come up with so much money all at once.

Tsk tsk tsk, it's really dark.

But then again, Gu Pan'er is just an ordinary red card in an ordinary brothel, and she can save so much money, which also shows that this business really comes in quickly.
"Have you saved enough money?"

Picking up some food with chopsticks, Wei Changtian said casually, "If it's not enough, tell me, I can help you."

"."

Raising her head suddenly, Gu Pan'er stared blankly at Wei Changtian who was calm and composed, her eyes instantly became very complicated.

In fact, to Wei Changtian, this was really just a casual remark.

After all, hundreds of taels and thousands of taels are not considered money to him.

Furthermore, strictly speaking, it is also because of him that Gu Pan'er is "homeless" now, and giving some money can be regarded as compensation.

So he didn't have any other "attempts", it was just a random question for this sake.

It's just that Wei Changtian obviously didn't understand how lethal the words "I'll redeem you" have on a brothel girl.

"Wei, Mr. Wei"

The red lips trembled slightly, Gu Pan'er whispered almost subconsciously.

"Ok?"

Wei Changtian raised his head in confusion and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I"

The moment his eyes met Wei Changtian's, Gu Pan'er hurriedly lowered his head again, and stammered:

"No, nothing."

"The concubine, the money saved by the concubine should be enough"

"Oh, that's fine."

Too lazy to guess why Gu Pan'er blushed again, Wei Changtian responded casually and continued to eat sullenly.

Gu Pan'er also tried to calm down, picked up the chopsticks and ate the food in small bites, secretly looking at Wei Changtian from time to time.

The conversation between the two came to an end for the time being.

At the same time, on the second floor of the inn, a man with treacherous eyebrows was hovering outside the door of a certain room.

After realizing that there was no one around, he shook out a piece of wire from his sleeve, inserted it into the keyhole and stabbed it a few times.

then
"click"

After about a quarter of an hour, Wei Changtian returned to his room after eating.

And it wasn't until now that he knew that Gu Pan'er actually lived next door to him.

What a coincidence.
Talked to Gu Pan'er briefly and politely at the door, then turned around and closed the door.

Soon, Wei Changtian heard a slight movement of the door opening and closing from the next door.

He didn't think too much about Gu Pan'er, he just went to the table to make a pot of tea, and then took out the mother-of-child jade and started sending a letter to Zhang San.

Although in order to catch that mysterious person, I have to hide here for a few days.

But things in all aspects cannot stop because of this, what should continue must continue.

Talked about his plan to Zhang San, and asked the latter to send Li Zimu to the courtyard to interrogate the two assassins later.
After receiving Zhang San's reply, Wei Changtian put away the mother-of-child jade, sat at the table and drank a pot of tea, carefully reviewing the current situation in his mind.

Lai Dagan was originally planning to destroy the Jing family, but he never expected such a mysterious person to appear.

Fortunately, the situation in Linchuan has not been greatly affected by this, and it is only the last step to instigate Su Qi's rebellion.

So Wei Changtian still decided to "grasp with both hands".

While continuing to investigate the identity of this mysterious person, on the other hand, he could not give up on continuing to put pressure on Su Qi.

The only thing is that there are not many people who come to Dagan this time, and the situation of "two-line combat" is not enough now.

If it was the same as before, Qin Zhengqiu and Chu Xianping were still there.

Ugh.
Thinking of these two people, Wei Changtian couldn't help sighing softly.

He knew that it was impossible for him to return to the previous relationship with Qin Zhengqiu and Chu Xianping.

The former now has to rely on "Yulu San" to maintain his sanity, and he doesn't know how long Xu Suisui's system can continue to "support" him.

After Yu Lusan "cut off the confession" and Qin Zhengqiu's mind was controlled by the inner demon, his grandfather would probably be the first to kill him.

As for Chu Xianping
Ever since he left Yongding City, Wei Changtian had no news of him.

But judging from Chu Xianping's previous "agreement" with him, no news is actually good news.

After all, when Chu Xianping really sends a letter to himself one day, there is a high probability that it will be his last words.
Shaking his head, he got up and walked to the window.

Just as Wei Changtian was about to reach out to close the window, he suddenly heard the movement of the window opening from the side.

Turning his head to look, it was Gu Pan'er who was holding a wooden pole in his hand and poking his head out to open the window.

"Mr. Wei"

Gu Pan'er also saw Wei Changtian at this time, and his face turned red again.

The two looked at each other, then looked away.

Then, one window opens and another closes.
