Chapter 956: Hua Gu is eager to make a contribution
As the saying goes, cousins are heartless and actors are disloyal, and this is true.
After staying in such a place for a long time, even the best girl will be manipulated by others with deep scheming and superb acting skills.
As soon as the girls in the brothel saw Big Teapot leading in a bewildered young man, they knew what kind of person he was.
First look at the clothes. They are neatly dressed and decent enough, but not made of luxurious materials. This man has some money, but not much.
Looking at his hands, he doesn't wear any rings or rings, so he is probably not a businessman. He doesn't have a pocket watch on his chest and doesn't wear leather shoes, which means he is not Westernized.
He was probably a kid from a well-off but not wealthy family. He had some money during the New Year and heard about the romantic life in Qin Shengxiang. He was eager to try it out.
This kind of young man is simply the perfect sucker!
The big teapot led him into a private room, quickly served eight dishes of tea and snacks, and then took out a menu. "Young master, this is the Qingyin troupe. Would you like to listen to Kunqu Opera, Pingxi Opera, or Dagu Opera? If you want to use the wet bed, it's still early. Have some tea first and wait until the evening..."
The young man blushed, "I'll just drink tea and listen to the opera!"
Then he took the list, picked up the pen on the table, and wrote a note casually.
The big teapot took it and went out, shouting, "Xiao Lanchun's note!"
After a while, a petite girl in pink clothes came in swaying and bowed, "Hello, sir~"
Then he sat down next to the young man.
The fragrance is so intoxicating that you feel drunk before you even speak.
After a few words, Xiao Lanchun said, "Sir, I feel like we've known each other for a long time. It's already past noon, so why don't you order a table of food and a few drinks before..."
At this point, the young man had no choice but to agree. He said repeatedly, "Okay, okay, I'll do as you say."
Soon, the big teapot set up a table with good wine and delicious food.
They ate until after two in the afternoon. The young man was already drunk and could no longer control himself. He hugged Xiao Lanchun and started to touch her.
Xiao Lanchun chuckled, "I wonder if you want to borrow a dry shop or a wet shop?"
The young man seemed to understand, but he finally understood what the brothel girl meant. "Of course I want to borrow the wet shop."
"Then please pay for the tea first, sir, and then we'll go to the backyard."
The young man was overjoyed and shouted, "Teapot, teapot! Let's settle the bill!"
The big teapot came in hunched over, holding the account book. "Young master, the total is fifty dollars."
The young man was stunned.
After a while, he asked in surprise: "How much!?"
The big teapot slowly handed over the account book. "Master, please take a look. The tea party is two yuan at the very least. Eight pieces of fruit are ten yuan. The finest tea is five yuan. A table of bird's nest and shark's fin is twenty yuan. Thirty-year-old Shaoxing wine is ten yuan. Tips for the girls, waiters, and maids are six yuan. After rounding off the decimals, I'll give you fifty yuan."
The young man knew that he was being ripped off. Twenty dollars for a table of bird’s nest and abalone?
Because he was drunk, he was very emotional and immediately slammed the table and shouted, "You are blackmailing me!"
Xiao Lanchun, who had just been laughing sweetly, immediately changed her expression and said, "You poor bastard, why are you going to a brothel when you don't have money?"
He turned around and left the room, and then several big men in black clothes and black pants with training belts around their waists came in.
The big teapot laughed and said, "Young Master, you'd better settle the accounts quickly. If there's a conflict, it will be bad."
The young man became furious and suddenly pulled out a pistol from his waist and slammed it on the table!

Peking Military Police Headquarters.
trial room.
Hua Gu was looking at the prisoner in front of him who was covered in bruises, and felt a little uncomfortable.
This young master, who came from a wealthy family, was still not used to bloody scenes.
But when he realized that this criminal might bring important clues, he became uncontrollably excited.
Am I, Hanatani Masaru, finally going to accomplish something great?
"Li Yifei? Is this the name registered on your good citizen certificate? Where did you get your gun?"
The bruised Li Yifei was the young man who had been blackmailed in the brothel before.
The brothel also had a background. When they saw Li Yifei paid the money, they smiled and let him go. They sent someone to follow him and reported to the military police.
Then Li Yifei was arrested.
The process is incredible, but this kind of thing happens again and again.
"You're a snuff shop clerk at Tianhuizhai. How could a snuff shop clerk have the money to wander around Qinsheng Alley, and why would you be carrying a pistol? Li Sang, I promise you, I'm not someone who enjoys torturing others. As long as you cooperate, I will not only treat your wounds, but also give you money and women. How about that?"
Li Yifei still didn't say anything, but he was actually feeling conflicted.
The devils’ torture was too unbearable!
He regretted it so much now. The shopkeeper had made him a lot of money, so why did he listen to those people talking about the women in Qinsheng Lane and why did he want to go and see them all?
"Li Sang, tell me, are you from the Military Control Commission or the Special Operations Group?"
Li Yifei looked up blankly, "What do you mean by 'command'?"
Hua Gu was stunned for a moment, then his face turned gloomy. Could it be that this guy was not a spy?
"Where did you get your gun?"
"The shopkeeper gave it to me."
"Why did he give you the gun?"
"The shopkeeper said that the world is not peaceful. We run a tobacco shop and often have to go to Tongxian Wharf to pick up goods. Without weapons, we would feel uneasy. He saw that I was young and had good skills, so he gave me a gun..."
Hua Gu was cursing in his heart, Damn, is that all?
"Mr. Li, you must know something else. Don't refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit. Is Tianhuizhai just a cigarette dealer?"
This was pure deception. Unexpectedly, Li Yifei blurted out: "The shopkeeper still buys Western medicine, but this medicine is for the folks in his hometown, not smuggled!"
Hua Guzheng was delighted when he heard this, "Where did he buy the medicine and ship it to?"
Li Yifei shook his head. "I don't know either. Every now and then, a customer from the west comes over and takes medicine away. He says the villagers in the mountains are short of medical care and medicine, and this medicine could be of great use..."
Hanatani Masaharu's heart was pounding.
Guerrillas, these must be guerrillas!
This Tianhuizhai is most likely a communication station for the Special Operations Group!
"Li Sang, very good. I will arrange a safe place for you to stay and give you a girl. The people in that brothel offended you, and I will arrest them all..."
"Xiao Lanchun, can you give me Xiao Lanchun?"
"Nani?"
Then Hua Gu realized that this should be a prostitute.
I couldn't help but curse inwardly, this Li Yifei, really is...
"Of course, a woman is nothing. If you cooperate with me, I'll give you everything you want. Think about it, is there anyone else who comes to the shop regularly?"
Hua Gu was feeling a little regretful. He shouldn't have beaten Li Yifei so badly. This idiot was so cooperative. If he had persuaded him to defect and sent him back to Tianhuizhai, he might have gained a lot!
"Those who come to the shop regularly are our regular customers..."
"Tell us who these regular customers are, one by one. Don't leave any behind!"
