"Cough, cough! Gang leader, have you forgotten why you came here today?" The follower behind him leaned over and whispered to Peng Ying.
The waiter brought the packed Tom Yum Goong soup to the table.
Peng Ying motioned to one of the attendants: "Send this dish to the inn room first."
The attendant was sweating slightly on his forehead. Gang Leader Peng was strong in everything except his mouth, which was unable to resist eating.
As soon as the entourage left, Peng Ying reached for it in his arms.
Lu Da and Mu Zhiyuan stared at Peng Ying warily, thinking that Peng Ying was about to draw his sword and fight.
Unexpectedly, Peng Ying took out a piece of silver from his arms.
He slammed the money on the table and said, "Shopkeeper, this is meal money, no need to change it!"
"My lord, it's just two dishes and a bottle of wine. It doesn't cost so much money."
Mao Xi took the change and handed it to Peng Ying.
"Shopkeeper Liu, the food in your restaurant is very delicious. I'll come back another day! What's the name of this spicy and sour dish?"
"Tom Yum Kung Seafood Soup!" Mao Xi paused, "This soup is spicy and warms the body. It is suitable for people who practice martial arts, so this dish is named."
"Hahaha..." Peng Ying and his entourage walked away with a smile, leaving everyone behind.
"Ah Shu, didn't Lou Lan'er just spread the news that this person is a member of a gang and is coming to the restaurant to cause trouble? Why did you just throw away a bowl of hot and sour seafood soup today?" Mu Zhiyuan asked in confusion.
Mao Xi looked at the silver he gave. Although it was broken silver, it looked like it had been re-cast.
She asked Zhang Xiucai to keep the money given by Peng Ying separately.
"It doesn't seem that simple. Let's wait and see if there is any new news from Sister Lan'er."
Lihua Town, inside Qingxiang Building.
Yi Zhili disguised himself as a one-eyed man, ordered a roast pigeon, and drank a small drink on the first floor near the stage.
The guys sitting next to me were drinking and talking dirty.
"Brother Gong, you have been coming to Qingxiang Building very frequently recently. Are you also here to see these girls dance?"
"Isn't that right? These dancers have such small figures and twisted waists that I can drink a few more bottles of wine!"
After hearing the conversation between the two, Mrs. Hu came to the table and recommended to them: "If you two guests like our dance band in Qingxiang Building, you can order food in the private room on the second floor. The minimum consumption is only one tael, and there is a A dancer is here to entertain you!"
"Brother Zheng, how about we eat upstairs? Anyway, it's not time for the dance band to come on stage in the lobby yet?"
"Come on, come on, Mrs. Hu, open a room for us and we can order again."
After paying the bill, Yi Zhili bought some fruit cakes from the restaurant and ran to the side room where the dance band was resting to investigate.
He saw Lou Laner groping alone in the room.
"Lou Lan'er, I asked you why I didn't see you in the lobby. Is there any new news?"
Lou Lan'er was startled when she saw that the person behind her was a pear, and then she let down her guard.
"Brother Li Bing, don't come here. It won't be good if the other dancers come back from their performances later and see you."
"What are you looking for?"
"Peng Ying is a member of the Goshawk Sect. He is currently connecting the Black Orchid Club in Beidu with Shopkeeper Hu... Heilan Club, you know this, right? Yesterday I saw that his entourage rewarded a dancing girl with a silver ingot."
"'Stealing money', this is what I'm best at!"
Yi Zhili searched around the bed and wardrobe, and finally found a silver ingot and a handful of golden beans in a secret compartment beside the bed.
One look at the steel stamp on the silver revealed that it was official silver that had not yet been recast.
Yi Zhili took a silver ingot and a handful of gold and made the wing look like it had been stolen.
"I'll go back and resume my duties with the prince first. Lou Lan'er will help you stay here for a few more days!"
Five days later, people from the Goshawk Gang disguised the silver ingots as grain and transported cartloads of silver ingots to Shopkeeper Hu's Qingxiang Building warehouse.
These are ingots that have not yet been recast. They were entrusted from corrupt officials in the southwest. Through the hands of shopkeeper Hu, the silver was washed into broken silver and silver ingots that could be circulated.
At the top of Qingxiang Building, there is a sky-high private dining room called Jinyu Pavilion. The price of similar dishes there is a hundred times that of other dishes in the restaurant.
Under the guise of using the highest-end ingredients, only at the beginning of each month, people from the Goshawk Gang come here to spend many days in a row until they spend all the silver ingots they have.
Lou Lan'er was puzzled that the Goshawk Gang members who were dining at Jinyu Pavilion didn't look like they were short of money, so why didn't they hire a dance band to perform?
"A Ying, I've been here for three days and no one has invited the orchestra to perform? This is so strange!"
Aying saw Lou Lan'er looking at the Golden Jade Pavilion on the top floor with confusion, and explained: "Lou Lan'er, you came not long ago. The leader of the Goshawk Gang is a noble person of ours, and he only comes here when he has dinner with Shopkeeper Hu in private. We will be rewarded with golden beans.
Only at the Jinyu Pavilion at the beginning of every month, no one is ever asked to come in to dance and entertain. Even the waiter who delivers food just leaves the food at the door and is delivered by his entourage! "
Lou Lan'er started to get curious, and it seemed that pretending to be a waiter wouldn't work.
"Lou Lan'er, are you short of money? Even though the wing was stolen last time, I still have some golden beans. You gave them to me originally. I'll give you half of them. You have to listen to me and don't even think about going there. Jinyu Pavilion, maybe they are discussing important gang matters, and if they hear something they shouldn’t hear, their heads will be chopped off!”
Dancer Aying made a motion of cutting her neck with her hand, with a trace of fear in her eyes.
"A Ying, don't scare me, I just won't go!"
"It doesn't matter how happy the noble man is to give Jindouzi, but the gangsters behave in a chivalrous and temperamental way, and we can't live with it."
Lou Lan'er nodded silently, thinking that she had to continue to lurk in Qingxiang Tower.
At that time, several followers of the Goshawk Gang were already drunk. They came out of the Jinyu Pavilion with wine bottles and came to the lobby to enjoy the performance of the dancer.
One of them, a bearded man, got drunk and rushed onto the stage, grabbed Aying, and drunkenly said: "Little lady, why don't you do a solo dance for me? I have a lot of golden beans for you!"
A Ying was so frightened that her face turned pale. She hurriedly took out the skirt from the big man's hand and hid behind Lou Lan'er.
Lou Lan'er grabbed the big man's wrist and approached, "Brother, let me accompany you. Sister is not feeling well today!"
Seeing Lou Lan'er's pretty appearance and graceful figure, the big man said drunkenly: "Let's go to the room with big brother and dance for me."
The two brothers behind the bearded man shouted at him: "Big Beard, don't forget that you still have important things to do, come back early, hahaha..."
Yi Zhili, who was hiding in the dark and observing, laughed and said, "This Lou Lan'er, don't be impulsive and maim him later."
