Chapter 230
"Night banquet, no interest."

Cao Su immediately rejected the invitations of several big families.

Li Li hesitated and said, "My lord, I think the other party is very sincere, saying that several big families have pooled up some co-pays to reward the hard-working brothers."

Cao Su glared at him.

Li Li was stared at inexplicably, what's the matter, sir, don't you like money the most on weekdays?

Cao Su sneered: "You want to buy me with a mere salary?"

Li Li said quietly: "There are still a lot of food, grass and military equipment. I heard that tonight, the best dancer in the Four Seas Garden in the city was invited to join in the fun."

Cao Su said calmly: "I'm not interested in these things, the main reason is that the big families are really sincere, it's not easy."

Li Li: .
This city, from the beginning to the end, reveals a kind of urban culture - Zhiqu.

Starting from the Zongmen, to these families, everyone is soft from top to bottom.

Cao Su was very bored, no wonder Bai Cai and Gu Bo didn't want to make progress after they came here. The whole city was so obedient, why did they go out and fight to death?

After the two walked down the city wall, Li Li reported the ransacking of the house to Cao Su.

"In the home of Bai Cai and Gu Bo, the brothers confiscated a large amount of silver taels, as well as all kinds of rare treasures, beautiful wives and beautiful concubines, and now they are all placed in their home, waiting for the adults to inspect them!"

Cao Su angrily scolded the two rebels: "Bai Cai and Gu Bo have only occupied Gu Yue City for a long time, and they dare to act like this. They are simply beasts."

Li Li explained: "The main reason is that Gu Bo's house is relatively luxurious, while Bai Cai's house is very ordinary."

Li Li took Cao Su to Gu Bo's home.

After Gu Bo occupied Guyue, he occupied a high-profile mansion somewhere in Guyue.

The original family of the mansion was kicked out by Gu Bo.

Now this group of sons and families waited eagerly outside the house, and when they saw Cao Su coming over, they knelt down in front of Cao Su with a "plop".

"Master Qingtian, you have to decide for the little old man!"

Cao Su was most annoyed that someone would kneel when they met, and he shouted angrily: "Get up, don't kneel."

The family's surname was Li. When Uncle Li heard Cao Su call him to stand up, he stood up timidly, and beside him were two young men from his family who supported him.

"Your house?"

"That's right, that old thief Gu Bo was ruthless and ruthless. He took my big house and my land, and even snatched the little old man's favorite granddaughter and made him his concubine."

When Uncle Li talked about his sadness, tears and snot all flowed down his nose.

Cao Su was disturbed and scolded: "In this case, why didn't you get in touch with me after our army arrived? But if you are an internal response in the city, why do I have to fight so hard?"

Uncle Li originally thought that Cao Su would scold Gu Bo severely, and then return the house to him as a matter of course.

Unexpectedly, Cao Su actually questioned him in turn, which was something he had never thought about before, and immediately panicked.

With another "plop", he fell to his knees.

Call out: "Master Qingtian."

Being kneeled by such an old man, Cao Su cursed secretly, and steered his horse back two steps: "Get up, don't kneel."

Cao Su didn't really want to embarrass the Li family.

It's just that when he was fighting against the Wanping army outside, these people watched the theater, and when he came in, they began to pretend to be flattering, trying to get something from him.

How can there be such a good thing in the world?
After all, he is a murderous rebel army, not a philanthropist.

"Li Li, help the old man up."

Considering the influence of public opinion, Cao Su dismounted Li Li first to stabilize him.

After all, they are officers and soldiers, and their behavior style must be different from that of the rebels.

Cao Su stepped into the Li family mansion.

This mansion is indeed huge, the front yard alone is hundreds of feet away, Cao Su walked all the way to the square in the house, at this time the house was brightly lit, countless torches were held high, and dozens of rebels occupied the house.

The black crowd fell to their knees on the ground.

There are several large boxes on the square.

Cao Su walked over and opened the boxes one by one for inspection.

It is full of people's fat and people's ointment that Gu Bo greedily scavenged. In just a few months, he has amassed tens of thousands of taels of money.

Not good at fighting, but the ability to search is first-rate.

"My lord, here are the wives and concubines that Gu Bo forcibly took."

Li Li introduced it to Cao Su, and Cao Su turned his head to look. A group of Yingying and Yanyan girls were kneeling on the ground, crying softly, and none of them dared to look up.

No wonder the uprising will fail after a period of time. Such a loose organization has not formed a strong institutional mechanism.

Only by relying on his passion, after all, he is just walking on the old road of feudalism.

The only meaning is that it shakes the foundation of the dynasty's governance and pushes this towering tree to collapse faster.

"My lord, these women"

A long-distance runner came to ask Cao Su for advice, with eagerness in his eyes.

Cao Su felt that it was very troublesome, and said in a deep voice: "There are so many people, maybe some of them are spies sent by Wanping Sect."

"what?"

Shi Chang was taken aback for a moment, and then said immediately: "Then why not send them all to your lord's house for strict interrogation by your lord?"

The girls below cried and begged for mercy: "My lord, please forgive me. The women are definitely not the spies of Wanping sect. I hope your lord will find out!"

Cao Su patted Shi Chang's shoulder.

Everyone was stunned, not understanding what it meant.

After Mr. Li followed Cao Su into the house, he became more and more sad when he saw things and thought about others.

Among the wives and concubines that Gu Bo took forcibly, there was another one that was his granddaughter.

When the granddaughter saw her grandfather, her eyes turned red in an instant, and the two hugged each other and cried.

"My lord, my granddaughter is definitely not a spy, but Gu Bo forcibly occupied her!"

Mr. Li finally got tough and came to argue with Cao Su.

Cao Su smiled and said, "What evidence do you have?"

"I..." Old Li was at a loss for words.

Suddenly, he felt blessed, and then assured Cao Su: "My lord, I am willing to send the disciples of my family to the Lord's army as a guarantee!"

Ok?
The two grandsons who were originally supporting by Laoer Li's side.

With a "shua", his face turned pale.

Cao Su laughed, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

Leaving the Li family's house in a big stride.

Li Li took Cao Su all the way to the place where several big families were preparing for the banquet.

These big families are not the same as those in Yuncheng.

The big families here are not like the big families in Yuncheng, who control most of the wealth, manpower, and even the right to speak in the city.

The few big families here, and the family business is relatively prosperous.

In terms of force value and influence, there are no sects like this.

Therefore, the power of the family is relatively weak, and when talking with Cao Su, this was faintly revealed.

Cao Su's cups are interlaced, and he will not get drunk after a thousand cups.

Exchange cups with the heads of several big families, the atmosphere is very harmonious.

"After the big families here have expressed their views to the lord, the lord is in the city. He needs people, money, food and food. As long as you say a word, our families will take care of things for you."

When Cao Su heard this, he held the hands of the heads of several big families and was very moved.

"In this way, the ancient Yue territory should be followed by the leading families. If there is anything that can use me, Cao, in the future, the family owners just say it's okay."

The Patriarchs are very insecure, and what they want is Cao Su's words.

The two sides have what they need and look at each other very pleasingly.

"How long will Master Cao stay in Gu Yue?"

A homeowner asked.

Cao Su said with a smile: "The time is uncertain, it should be according to General Qin Hu's arrangement. If General Qin Hu defeats the Wanping Army in Xunshan City, he will definitely attract the army to Gu Yue in the future."

Although Xunshan City is also a big city, it cannot be compared with Gu Yue.

Ancient Yue was the capital of the previous dynasty, and its history, politics, and landforms far surpassed that of Xunshan City.

If Qin Hu's [-] troops defeated Tianniu Taoist, wouldn't the resting place for the [-] troops in the future be Gu Yue City?
These families also thought of this, so they made great efforts to make a fuss about Cao Su.

With Cao Su's achievements today, he will surely rise to prominence in the future and become a popular person beside General You.

So the big families were very excited when they heard Cao Su's words, and felt that they had made the right investment.

The banquet lasted until midnight. Cao Su was about to leave in the midst of singing and dancing.

"Lord Cao, don't leave. It's rare that Ms. Le from Sihaiyuan is here today. Why don't you let Ms. Le accompany you well?"

A patriarch grabbed Cao Su and insisted on pushing the invited oiran to Cao Su.

Cao Su looked up, and saw that the oiran who was dancing in the arena had a peach blossom face and lowered her head shyly.
