Troubled times: Start practicing spiritual practice by taking care of your sister-in-law

Chapter 50 County situation
Zijin Building.

Chen Mo asked two good-looking prostitutes to accompany him while drinking. It may be because of the troubled times. The current consumer prices are far less than those in the peaceful times.

Chen Mo found another private room and went in to talk.

Wu Shan seemed to be here for the first time. After entering the private room, he immediately sat down and spread his legs. Then he pulled the prostitute into his arms, hugged the prostitute's waist, and toasted Chen Mo: "Brother Chen is great."

There is a saying on the Internet that the four irons in life refer to fighting a gun together, sharing a window together, sharing stolen goods together, and being together.
Since he wanted to ask about someone's family affairs, Chen Mo naturally couldn't be more assertive. He also pulled the girl into his arms, picked some snow pears, and then gave Wu Shan a glass of wine in return.

Money cannot be wasted.

The girl in the brothel was very professional. She immediately made a cooing sound, talking about how good the young master was. Her delicate body squirmed in Chen Mo's arms, and she even wanted to feed him wine from a beauty cup.

Chen Mo casually asked Wu Shan about the Qinghe Gang based on the episode outside just now.

Chen Mo learned from Wu Shan's mouth.

The Qinghe Gang has eight halls, each controlled by eight hall masters, known as the Eight King Kongs by the outside world.

Each of the four kings is responsible for the industries of a county, and the Qinghe Gang's industries in Pingting County include brothels, gambling houses, aquatic products, banks, etc.

The Qinghe Gang is involved in almost all gray industries.

"I don't know what kind of plague the Qinghe Gang has provoked recently. Brother Hu, one of the Eight Great Vajras, was actually killed." Wu Shan said: "Even the cash box was robbed."

After saying that, Wu Shan picked the lotus seeds and smiled at the girl in his arms: "Don't tell your mother this."

"My lord is disgusting." After feeling the pain, the girl patted Wu Shan on the shoulder: "I'm not a big talker."

This matter is known to almost everyone in the city and is not a secret matter, so Wu Shan is not afraid even if he talks about it in a brothel under the jurisdiction of the Qinghe Gang.

"It's true that it's not a big mouth, but it's a little loose." Wu Shan looked down with a smile and said meaningfully.

The girl was not an innocent girl, so how could she not understand. She gently pushed Wu Shan's forehead with her finger: "My lord, you are so evil."

"What's wrong with me?"

"Cough cough."

Seeing Wu Shan showing signs of drawing out his gun, Chen Mo coughed twice, patted the girl's millstone in his arms, and asked her to go out first.

Wu Shan knew that Chen Mo was about to inquire about business, so he became serious and asked the girl accompanying him to go out first.

Chen Mo did not directly ask about the strength of the remaining seven Vajras and the gang leader, Lord Xiong. Instead, he learned about the Qinghe Gang from other things, such as whether the rebels would attack Qingzhou in the spring next year.

Although Li Mu had already told him about this, it was always uneasy to tell others, so it would be better to confirm it with each other.

"It's almost a certainty. Your Excellency has also said that the rebels have now gathered in Jizhou, Gaozhou and other places, forming a three-sided siege to attack Qingzhou. Once Qingzhou is defeated, the rebels will be able to go all the way south. But now The snow is too heavy to be suitable for marching. We will wait until the snow melts in spring." Wu Shan sighed:
"Brother Chen, let me tell you the truth, there is a high probability that Qingzhou cannot be defended."

"Oh, why?" Chen Mo poured wine for Wu Shan.

Wu Shan waved to Chen Mo.

Chen Mo listened.

"The prefect has sent his two precious daughters to our Pingting County. Brother Chen, please think about it. During this critical period, the prefect sent his family to the rear. This is a great defense for Qingzhou. Don't worry." Wu Shan whispered.

"The magistrate's daughter?" Chen Mo was stunned.

Wu Shan talked to Chen Mo: "I was lucky enough to meet you at that time. Brother Chen, you don't know how beautiful they are. I have never seen such a beautiful woman in my life. They are just like fairies. The women from Pingting County are like No one can compare to them."

When he said this, Wu Shan seemed a little excited and said with a lewd smile: "Brother Chen, the most important thing is that they are still twins."

Hearing this, Chen Mo's eyebrows narrowed, and the face of the woman in black could not help but appear in his mind.

Could it be her?
When talking about women, especially beauties, Wu Shan talked very enthusiastically. He even found out their names. His sister was Xia Zhiqing and his sister was Xia Zhining. They even knew where they lived.

"Zhining." Chen Mo's face darkened, it was really her.

The daughter of the prefect.

No wonder he is so unruly.

This is trouble.

Chen Mo also had the purpose of avenging the whip when he entered the city this time.

But after learning about her background, Chen Mo could only give up the idea for the time being and look at it later.

After all, a little gangster like Brother Shahu has caused so much trouble.

If the prefect's daughter had something to do with this, there would be a huge commotion.

Chen Mo raised his wine glass, bumped it with Wu Shan, and smiled in agreement: "Twins, tsk, tsk, you have a chance to see them."

But Wu Shan waved his hand and said: "Brother Chen, it's better not to see him. It's okay for my sister. My sister's temper is quite arrogant."

"Really? But if you can conquer such a woman, it would be a special experience." Chen Mo joked.

Wu Shan was startled at first, and then burst into laughter: "Brother Chen is indeed a man with great ambitions. I heard that my sister Xia Zhiqing is the most talented woman in Qingzhou and loves talented people the most. If Brother Chen can gain fame in the future, maybe he will Chance."

Chen Mo took a sip of wine, smiled and said nothing.Then he changed the subject: "I wonder what the situation is like in the county now?"

"Of course it's the adults who have the final say." Wu Shan whispered: "Don't look at the Qinghe Gang's majesty, but they are just dogs under Master Chang."

From Wu Shan's mouth, Chen Mo learned that the local county magistrate's name was Chang Yuan.

He was born as a top three Jinshi and was a student of Qingzhou prefect.

The most important thing is that as a county magistrate, he can actually mobilize the local garrison.

You know, the Song Dynasty had decentralized military and political power.

A county magistrate does not have the right to mobilize the local garrison, but Chang Yuan does.

The Qinghe Gang couldn't even be ranked second.

Followed by the Li family, Wang family, and Yi family.

These three families are local noble families.

Among them, the Yi family has declined.

In the final analysis, the Qinghe Gang is just a gang composed of gangsters. If the gang leader Yang Wei hadn't joined the Yi family, a noble family in his early years, the Qinghe Gang would not be able to stand out.

Of course, if it was just a simple shopping trip, the three families combined would not be able to beat the Qinghe Gang.

Chen Mo nodded, pretended to be curious, and asked casually: "What is the strength of this gang leader Yang Wei?"

"I heard he is an eighth-grade warrior."

Wu Shan took a sip of wine and said uncertainly.

Chen Mo nodded, raised his glass again, and said with a smile: "Brother Wu, come on, let's do it."

"No way, just drinking, you have to eat some food." Wu Shan said.
