Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 180 Above and Below

Jizhou City, Sancha Street, Qionghua Tower.

The moon was high in the sky, and the Qionghua Tower was bustling with people. Merchants, scholars, and dignitaries from all over the country came, as well as some vicious and evil people.

People come here not just to have fun, but also to use the hustle and bustle here as a cover to gather together and talk about serious matters.

A room in the corner of the top floor.

There were four sturdy men with knives guarding the door, and anyone approaching within three feet of the door was not allowed.

In the side room, the head courtesan of Qionghua Tower and three famous golden beauties sat on chairs with a faint smile, but even their breathing was very light, not daring to disturb the conversation of the four men at the table. At most, they poured tea from time to time.

"What does Lord Yang say? Are we really going to let him do whatever he wants?"

"I am not someone like Xiao Yun who can be easily controlled. Not to mention his astonishing achievements and killing methods in Sandao City, just his status as a junior immortal master is something that even bastards like Xiao Yun cannot match.

I let Zhou Yiming set up a plan to try it out before, but the result was so slick and ambiguous that I couldn’t guess what he was planning.”

"Yes, this person is different from before. When he was in Sandao City, some people said that he loved money, especially gold. Now it seems that even if he really likes it, he is not a fool like Xiao Yun who dares to accept gold from anyone.

Do you think we need to report this matter to the prince?"

"Tsk, tell the prince? What? Say that we didn't know what to do with you after we tried it out, and ask the prince to make the decision? Lao Zhang, do you think the prince will slap you to death and replace you with someone who is not so useless?"

"Zhu Mao, you still can't learn to speak human language with this mouth. You're just a piece of crap, why don't you come up with a solution? Just opening and closing your mouth and spewing shit is not a skill."

The man called "Zhu Mao" sat on the left, with one arm around the slender waist of a girl named Jinhua. He was thin and gaunt, but gave people a very tough feeling, especially the pair of knife-like eyes on his pointed face that were particularly sharp.

"Whether I, Zhu Mao, have the ability or not is not something I can tell with my mouth, it has to be done with my hands and my brain. I have seen many people like Yang Qian. To say he is a little immortal master depends on the place and circle.

In a small place like Sandao City, a little fairy master is indeed very remarkable, but this is the provincial capital! Are there not enough little fairy masters? There are so many little fairy masters in the prince's mansion that they can sit at three or five tables when the banquet starts. Who cares?
I think since Zhou Yiming and others can’t test Yang Qian’s strength, why not try someone else?

Isn't he a Little Immortal Master? I happen to have three Little Immortal Masters in my camp. Send two of them over to talk to him and see how he can still act! "

"Little immortal master against little immortal master? Haha, Deputy Governor Zhu's idea does seem feasible. But what if Yang Qian still doesn't know how to appreciate it? Or is he still trying to get away with it?" A very fat man nearby asked with interest after taking a bite of a piece of fruit that the courtesan in his arms put into his mouth.

Zhu Mao smiled and said, "Master Bai, isn't this simple? If you don't know what's best for you, you can just use a few more tricks on him. Yang Qian is not alone. I heard that he has relatives in Sandao City. In addition, although he didn't charge money when he had a drink with Zhou Yiming and the others, didn't he stay and play with two girls? This guy is probably lustful, which is also a way.

Besides, aren’t the little immortal masters very eager for things like spirit stones? If that doesn’t work, why not give him some sweet treats?
Anyway, the main purpose is to win over people.

If he still refuses to change, then just give him a death in the line of duty. It’s not like he hasn’t done this before, so it’s pretty safe.”

After saying that, Zhu Mao picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it all, looking like he had everything under control. The Lord Bai smiled and seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and said, "By the way, yesterday the spies came back and said that Yang Qian went to the abandoned garden in the north of the city. What do you think he wanted to do?"

"I've heard that too. That abandoned garden is not ordinary. It was the old residence of the detective who died in the Patrol Office almost two years ago. Could it be that they want to continue investigating that case?"

Zhu Mao chuckled and replied, "That's not surprising. After all, everyone knows what the current situation of the Patrol Case Division is like. Yang Qian has just arrived, and the best way for him to re-establish himself is to investigate cases like this that can bring him internal reputation.

But Xiao Yun did a pretty solid job on this case back then, so it's not easy to dig it out. If it doesn't work, help Yang Qian when you get in touch with him. Isn't it just about finding a way to close the case? Just find some big-name thief to take over.

After all this, this might be an opportunity to win over Yang Qian."

Lord Bai saw that Zhu Mao was speaking easily, so he smiled and said, "Since Deputy Commander Zhu is so confident, can we let him take care of this matter?"

Zhu Mao immediately saluted and said firmly: "Zhu Mao will definitely get this done! Sir Bai, don't worry!"

"Hahaha! Great! Today, let's all wish Vice Governor Zhu success. If we can successfully capture Yang Qian, our days in Jizhou Prefecture will surely continue to be prosperous! Everyone, drink to victory!"

After hearing what Lord Bai said, the atmosphere in the wing suddenly became lively. The four girls dared to speak, knowing that the business was over and the rest was to have fun.

At this time, in a back street just across the street from Qionghua Tower, Yang Qian was also having a great time. He was holding a few dominoes and killing people on the big round table. He killed the other six people at the table and made them look pale.

Pushing dominoes. A very popular gambling method during the Hongwu Dynasty. The gameplay is simple, but there are many variations and it depends a lot on luck.

Yang Qian had good luck today. He had been the banker of Liuhe for several consecutive days without losing a single round. The banknotes on the table were piled up more than an inch thick.

"Brother, you are so lucky, why don't you save some money?"

"Why save? If your luck is gone, you can have it again. You don't always get the chance to win money. Right?"

"Be careful not to spend this money."

Yang Qian raised his head and looked at the person who was speaking harshly to him, and then looked around at the other guys who were also smiling. He did not panic, but smiled and said, "I heard that this is the place protected by Monkey Lord. What? You can't stand seeing people win money?"

"How could that be? People can come and go freely in Monkey Master's place. Forget it, I don't want to play anymore." After saying this, the people at Yang Qian's table all threw away the dominoes in their hands, stood up and left the table.

Yang Qian smiled, said nothing more, took the money and left the illegal gambling den.

Afterwards, he wandered around in the alley, as if trying to take a detour, but was soon blocked from the front and back by people in a secluded place.

"You run again! Damn it, you dare to win my money, are you tired of living?"

The people blocking Yang Qian's way were the three people who were at the card table just now. At this time, the three of them were holding short knives in their hands, and the one in front of him even had a simple-looking crossbow in his hand? !
