The two were talking in the room, and suddenly there was a voice from outside, Qin Xiao just frowned, but Qiuniang was pale and panicked, she immediately got up, and the ghost said: "You... Hide!"
"Hidden?" Qin Xiao was taken aback.
Qiu Niang saw that Qin Xiao looked at herself with a strange look, and immediately understood that she was lost.
In a panic, let Qin Xiao hide, as if he was afraid of being caught and raped.
She reddened her cheeks and secretly scolded herself for talking nonsense, but Qin Xiao had already got up, walked to the door, and looked out through the crack of the door, only to see several figures standing outside the door, all alone. Purple shirt, wearing a leather cap, very strange.
Since the other party came to the door, he knew he was here.
He opened the door and walked out the door. The man in purple shirt was in his early forties with a smile on his face. Seeing Qin Xiao coming out, he stepped forward and said, "Dare to ask you, but Mr. Qin Xiao Qin?"
"The prince dare not be, I am Qin Xiao." Qin Xiao doesn't talk nonsense: "Who are you? What can I do?"
Qin Xiao swept his eyes, and saw three people standing behind in the shape of a product. They were all respectful, holding things in their hands, which seemed to be gift boxes. Apparently they were not from the government, but not from Tsing Yi Tang. .
"My elder Wu Tianbao, at the order of my eldest brother, come to visit Young Master Qin." The purple-shirted man respectfully said, and winked back, and the three of his men walked forward with the gift box before going into the house.
Qin Xiao raised his hand to stop, frowning and said: "What does this mean? No merit is not rewarded. I don't know you. Why did you send these things?"
Qiu Niang thought it was the people from Tsing Yi Tang who came to make trouble, but when she saw the clothes of people outside, her pretty face was still slightly pale, she approached behind Qin Xiao and whispered, "They...They seem to be peaceful. People who will."
Fortunately, Qiuniang just mentioned the Taipinghui, otherwise Qin Xiao didn't know what the Taipinghui was.
The Taipinghui and Tsing Yitang are the two major city gangs in Kyoto.
The people from Qingyitang didn't come, but the people from the Taipinghui came to the door. Qin Xiaopo was a little surprised.
"My next friend is the second brother of the Taipinghui." Wu Tianbao still smiled: "I came here today. First, I came to visit on the order of my elder brother. Second, I wanted to get acquainted with Young Master Qin. The first time I met, A small gift is no respect."
"I said, no merit is not rewarded." Qin Xiao said: "I don't have much friendship with you in the Taipinghui, and there is no need to get acquainted."
"I know that Young Master Qin may have some misunderstandings about our Peace Conference." Wu Tianbao smiled and said: "But Wu has come here with full sincerity."
Qin Xiao said indifferently: "You know that I am here, so naturally you send someone to stare at me. Is this still full of sincerity?"
"Young Master Qin misunderstood. We never followed Young Master Qin." Wu Tianbao took a mouthful of "Young Master Qin", very polite: "We know that before Qingyitang came to Kushui Alley to make trouble, he was beaten by Young Master Qin and fled, so Knowing that you are here. Taiping has always been concerned about the movements of Tsing Yi Tang. It happened to know that Gongzi Qin was here, so I came to interrupt."
Qiu Niang is punting on the boat and has been threatened by the Tsing Yi Tang and the Taiping Hui. The boat girl in Kyoto has always regarded these two gangs like tigers and wolves.
Qin Xiao’s bald Li in Tsing Yi Tang stepped on her feet, which already made Qiuniang feel that Qin Xiao was bold enough. Today’s Taiping Hui Wu Tianbao showed respect to Qin Xiao, and it made Qiuniang open a pair of Lingling eyes. It feels incredible.
Naturally, Wu Tianbao has never seen him, but the legendary Wu Erye in the market is unknown to few people.
Wu Erye is a lofty figure in the market, but now he respects Qin Xiao, Qiuniang even wonders if he is dazzled.
"Wu knows that Qin Gongzi and Tsing Yi Tang have a festival, and that Xue Ben Zhonggai of Tsing Yi Tang will report to him. He will definitely not give up." Wu Tianbao said sternly: "Of course, Qin Gongzi will not be afraid of Tsing Yi Tang, but forgive me, Tsing Yi The people in Tang are all over Kyoto, and there are also specially hired assassin killers. If Gongzi Qin is alone, it is difficult to guarantee his own safety."
Qin Xiao said "Oh", thinking that the assassin of last night was really a killer hired by Qingyitang?
"If Young Master Qin and our Taiping Club have a good relationship, then they are our own people." Wu Tianbao smiled and said: "With the Taiping Club behind him, Tsing Yi Tang wants to move Young Master Qin, but he has to weigh it."
Qin Xiao said with a smile: "So, if Erye Wu came today, he not only sent a generous gift, but also provided protection for me? This is strange. This is the first time I met Erye Wu. I don’t have any ties with you in the Taipinghui. Wu Erye took the initiative to come to provide protection. It is really...I am frank, it really makes me feel a little strange."
"Mr. Qin, it is indeed the first time that Wu and you met." Wu Tianbao always kept smiling: "But our elder brother has known you a long time ago. It can be said to be an old friend. The eldest brother knows that you and Qingyitang have a holiday, For fear that Young Master Qin would be harmed, we specially asked Young Master Qin to come here to inform Prince Qin that your business in the future will be matters of the Taiping Society. If anyone dares to offend you, he will offend the Taiping Society. The Taiping Society will never sit idly by."
"Wait a minute!" Qin Xiao said in surprise: "Your eldest brother and I are old friends? This...Who is he?"
Wu Tianbao shook his head and said: "Big brother said, when he is free, he will meet with you in person, and give Young Master Qin a surprise."
"Surprise?" Qin Xiao sighed, "As long as it is not a fright. Erye Wu, thank you for taking care of the Taipinghui, you still take the things."
Wu Tianbao still shook his head and said, "Big Brother said, these gifts are not enough to repay Master Qin, they should belong to Master Qin. If Master Qin doesn't accept it, I don't have to go back." Please Qin Gongzi laughed, so it won't make me embarrassed."
Qin Xiao felt strange as he listened.
Wu Tianbao took a mouthful of a "big brother", and that eldest brother was naturally the leader of the Taiping Society, but Wu Tianbao also said that the eldest brother was his old acquaintance, and even claimed that these gifts were in return, which made Qin Xiao think about it. Its explanation, when did I know this big man from the Taipinghui?
And when did I help him?
"In fact, Mr. Qin doesn't have to think too much about these gifts." Wu Tianbao stepped forward and said: "This is not gold and silver jewelry. For Mr. Qin, offering gold and silver jewelry is rather tacky. "Opening a gift box, Qin Xiao took a look, and saw that there were delicate pastries neatly arranged inside, with different shapes. Although I don't know the taste, just looking at the shape has already made people appetite. .
Wu Tianbao saw Qin Xiao's face with surprise, only smiled slightly, turned around and opened a long gift box.
There are two pairs of silk and satin, and there are even patterns on the silk.
Qin Xiao couldn't tell the quality of silk and satin, but since the other party sent it, it was naturally not bad. As expected, Wu Tianbao said: "This is a jacquard fabric, which is pretty good."
Qiu Niang could see clearly from behind, she couldn't help but raised her hand to cover her mouth with a look of surprise.
When I opened the last gift box, there were two beautifully carved small bottles inside. Wu Tianbao smiled and said, "These are two bottles of wine, but there is no name yet. Because few people in this world can drink this kind of wine. , For the time being called Tian Ren Niang!"
"Heaven and human stuff?" Qin Xiao didn't care about cakes and silks, but Qin Xiao did have some interest when he heard that there were good wines, and couldn't help but reach out and pick up a bottle.
The bottle is not big. According to Qin Xiao's alcohol volume, he can drink it in three or four mouthfuls.
Suddenly realized that the cakes and satin were down, but the other party sent a good wine, obviously knowing that he was good. It seems that the big brother of the Taipinghui really knows him quite well.
"Gongzi Qin, the main hall of the Taipinghui is located in Yongningfang. When you get there, you can find it as soon as you inquire." Wu Tianbao took two steps back and said, "If you have any difficulties or needs, you can go directly. Yongningfang is looking for us, but there is an order, never hesitate to die."
Qin Xiao thought of something and said: "There is nothing else, I can't accept these gifts. But there is something, I want to persuade you."
"Master, please speak!"
"Wu Erye, I heard that half of the three rivers in Kyoto are under your control?" Qin Xiao looked at Wu Tianbao and said, "Many people in Kyoto are living in poverty. In desperation, they can only let their female relatives go out. Punt on the river to attract tourists to earn some money to support their families."
"Hundreds of people live on this matter in Kyoto." Wu Tianbao said.
Qin Xiaodao: "I heard that the Taiping Club and Tsing Yi Tang charge a lot of money to the boat maidens who take the boat on the river to raise their families, and they also collect a lot. Is this also true?"
"Yes." Wu Tianbao did not deny: "In the beginning, the three rivers in Kyoto were in the hands of Tsing Yi Tang. Later, we seized the water and half of the water in Luoshui. Within this year, it will be necessary. Control the entire Luoshui in your hands." Looking at Qiuniang behind Qin Xiao, she said: "At the beginning, Tsing Yi Tang collected money from cruise ships on the river and merchant ships that transported goods. After we took it, this The rules have not changed. If I am not wrong, this lady should also live on the river."
Qin Xiao nodded and said: "Not bad."
"I understand." Wu Tianbao gave Qiuniang his hand and said: "This lady, in the future, you will be pounding in the river channel controlled by the Taiping Society. No one will charge you a penny. If you have any trouble, please feel free to say hello. , As long as there are people from the Taipinghui nearby, they will definitely help. In addition, as long as there are no guests on the boat, the brothers of the Taipinghui will bring you tourists who want to take the boat. You don’t have to find the guests yourself."
Qiu Niang immediately showed joy and hurriedly saluted Wu Tianbao: "Thank you, Wu Erye."
For any ship girl, Wu Tianbao’s conditions are a dream.
Not charging river fees is already a thank you to any boat lady. Taiping will help attract guests, which is even more desirable.
It is important to know that there are a lot of cruise ships on the rivers of Kyoto. There are countless boat girls who live on them. That is to say, in the rivers of Kyoto, hundreds of ships are waiting for passengers every day. Outstanding boat girls spend half of their time looking for customers every day. It is even more difficult to find customers by boat. If the people from the Taiping Association can help to send the guests off, they will save the time of finding people and earn a lot more in one day. money.
It’s just that some guests have misbehaviors. The boat ride is fake, and the advantage is true. It’s commonplace to talk and flirt on the boat, and even some people use their hands and feet. Many boat girls make a living by this. It was for this reason that mother who was a little bit hotter was turning her face on the spot. Qiuniang always carried a kitchen knife on her body.
It would be better if the people from the Taipinghui help deal with tourists who are in trouble.
"You have misunderstood." Qin Xiao shook his head and said: "I am not begging you for Sister Qiu, but I want to discuss with you, can you stop collecting river fees from the boat ladies from now on?" /
