Chapter 171 Patriarch, Help
Cheng Chuli smiled and said: "No rush, even if it's delivered, let's not rush to accept it. We'll go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to help him settle the matter at Lu's house first. Only then will we receive more money."

"why?"

Yuchi Baolin asked.

Cheng Chuli was speechless, and said: "Remember, listen more, watch more, and use your brain more. You can do it too in the future."

Yuchi Baolin nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

After Cheng Chuli left the Good Brothers Restaurant, he led his people straight to the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

As soon as they left, the Patriarch of the Zheng family brought people and money to the Good Brothers Restaurant.In the end, he was told that Cheng Chuli had already left.

The Patriarch of the Zheng family was very angry. Didn't this guy agree to wait at the Good Brothers Restaurant?In the end, he was left empty-handed.

He worked so hard, bringing people and carrying money to give him Cheng Chuli.In the end, he even had to wait for the money to be delivered. Do you think it's annoying or not?
Soon, the benevolent teacher of the Boling Cui family also came to the good brother restaurant with people carrying money.

There is no way, the Patriarch of the Boling Cui Clan is not in Chang'an, and the person in charge is too young and unqualified.These things can only be done by Cui Renshi.

Although Cui Renshi knew that the Patriarch of the Zheng family was also waiting for Cheng at the Good Brothers Restaurant, he did not go to wait with him.

Of course, the Patriarch of the Zheng family also received the news that Master Cui Ren had come to the Good Brothers Restaurant.However, he also did not go to meet Cui Renshi.

Not only them, but after them, the heads and persons in charge of each family came to the Good Brothers Restaurant with people carrying money.

Even Cui Ren had the cheek to come here with the money on his shoulders.There's no way, he's really worried if he doesn't personally deal with such a big order!
What's funny is that these allies who lived and died together were still close together before yesterday.Today is very strange, all of them are lone rangers.

Although they knew that these allies were in the same restaurant as them, no one said that they took the initiative to go together and discuss what to do.

It's because, each of them has some small thoughts hidden in their hearts.They all hope to use this opportunity to secretly use some small means to make their family dominate the Minbu.

For example, the previous head of the Lu family.

"Cheng Chuli, that little bastard, how long does he plan to make us wait? It's simply hateful, too hateful."

Cui Ren came here to wait in the morning, and it was past noon.The little bastard Cheng Chuli hadn't come back yet.This really made Cui Ren very angry.

At this moment, someone knocked on the door of the box.Cui Ren motioned for someone to open the door.

Then, a spy sent by Cui Ren walked in, saluted Cui Ren respectfully, and said, "Report to the Patriarch, just now, news came out from the Ministry of Civil Affairs. The thirteen people who were not released by the Lu family before have been restored to power." job..."

Hearing this, Cui Ren snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, as expected, this Lu is indeed ahead of us. He has no way to take advantage of us. Isn't it just a million bucks?" Is it something about it? Who can't get it out?"

The spy went on to say: "Also, among the ten people released by the Lu family yesterday, seven of them were reactivated and assigned to other positions in the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Three of them were demoted by one or two ranks, and the other four were reinstated. .”

"What? How is this possible?"

Cui Ren was so shocked that he stood up from his seat and asked the spy, "Is the news reliable?"

The spy said: "It's absolutely reliable, the news came from the little officials we arranged in the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

According to him, as soon as Cheng dealt with the Ministry of Civil Affairs, he immediately found out the information of these [-] people, and then he was acquitted directly, and then he was reinstated as an official.I heard that the seventeen officials of the Lu family have gathered together to find a place to celebrate. "

Cui Ren was stunned. He could understand that the thirteen people who were still locked up could be reinstated, but those who were released could be reinstated.Cui Ren couldn't figure it out.

The most important thing is, how did Patriarch Lu do it?
Cui Ren said to the spy: "Check it out for me, I want to know how did that Lu bribe Cheng Chuli?"

It was hard for Cui Ren to imagine that Cheng Chuli still had this ability.

You must know that even if the emperor wants to reactivate these tainted officials, he has to bring them to the court for discussion and obtain the consent of some major courtiers.Only then may there be a chance to be activated.

But Cheng Chuli, with a swipe of his pen, said it was done and it was done.

Then, Cui Ren laughed again. If Cheng Chuli did this, even a god would not be able to save him this time.

However, before this little bastard died, he wanted to jump up and down in front of him to disgust him.What's even more helpless is that he, Cui Ren, had no choice but to beg him.

What Cui Ren didn't expect was that just after he finished speaking, the spy said: "Report to Patriarch, we have received news about this matter. I heard that Patriarch Lu spent 20 yuan on each of these seven people. Wan Guanqian. Then Cheng Chuli reluctantly agreed to help him."

This news, of course, was deliberately arranged by Cheng Chuli to spread it.

What's ridiculous is that when these Patriarchs sent someone to find Patriarch Lu for verification.The head of the Lu family actually admitted it as a matter of course.

Hehe, Patriarch Lu dare not speak against Cheng Chu at this juncture.

The most important thing is that it can make other aristocratic families spend more money, which is what Patriarch Lu likes to see.

It would be best for Cheng Chuli to show his power suddenly and kill them all, leaving his Lu family alone, that would be great!

This is the human heart.

"What, 20 yuan per person?"

Cui Ren couldn't help screaming when he heard this.Then, his brow furrowed.

Although 20 guan is a lot, it is invested in an official of the Ministry of Civil Affairs to allow them to use it again.It is not difficult to earn this little money back.

The most important thing is that he can't afford to spend this money now.If it is because of this little money that his Cui family loses the authority of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.The consequences are too serious.

Not only Cui Ren, but also the heads and persons in charge of other aristocratic families received the same news at this time.

After receiving the news, they suddenly lost all their thoughts.If other families can spend this money, their family must also spend it.There is no other choice.

After noon, Cheng Chuli finally returned to the Good Brothers Restaurant with Yuchi Baolin, the senior brother and the second senior brother.

As soon as Cheng Chuli entered the Good Brothers Restaurant, Cheng Chuliang came up to him and said, "Little Brother, today our Good Brothers Restaurant was almost booked out by the owners and responsible persons of those aristocratic families. There are nine restaurants in total, occupying nine rooms. All of them are ordered." Ming said he wanted to see you. What are you going to do?"

Cheng Chuli said: "What else can we do? They like to wait, so let them wait first! Brother, I'm hungry, open a big box for me, let your brothers and I have a full stomach before talking."

"Okay, the emperor's box is still reserved for you, little brother! Brothers, please go to the third floor."

As Cheng Chuliang said, he took everyone to the biggest box on the third floor, which was called the emperor's box because the emperor had dinner there.

After the food was served, the Xuanjia soldiers entered the private room to eat in three or four batches in turn.

Only Yuchi Baolin and the senior brother and the second senior brother regularly accompany Cheng Chuli to eat together.

The news of Cheng Chuli's return to the Good Brothers Restaurant quickly reached Cui Ren's ears.

"You bastard, you're finally back. Big Dog, go find Cheng Chuli and tell him that I, Cui Ren, are waiting for him here. Tell him to come and see me as soon as possible."

"Yes."

The man named Big Dog heard Cui Ren's order, immediately agreed and went out to do some business.

Since Yinglao retired, this big dog has been selected by Cui Ren's side as a running dog and bodyguard.

It's so hard to die, after this big dog became Cui Ren's lackey, he never had a chance to meet Cheng Chuli.In addition, Cui Ren was fine and didn't want to mention how powerful Cheng Chuli was, because it would be embarrassing.

As a result, the big dog had no awe of Cheng Chuli at all.To put it bluntly, I don't know the depth of Cheng Chuli.

The most speechless thing is that this big dog has always been very arrogant because of his martial arts skills.In addition, after being selected to follow Cui Ren, he became even more arrogant.Cui Ren, as the head of the largest family today, who else can he be afraid of?

Because they were on the third floor, the big dog soon arrived at the door of the emperor's box.But far away, he was stopped by several Xuanjia troops.

The big dog is very angry, ever since he became Cui Ren's running dog and bodyguard, no matter how many officials he used to be, he has to give him face.She even tried her best to please him.

Now, these stinky soldiers dare to stop him.How can this be tolerated?

"Bastard, do you bastards know who I am? How dare you block my way, do you want to stop messing around? Or are you impatient?"

Those Xuanjia soldiers were stunned, these stinky soldiers really couldn't afford to offend those big shots.

"I'm sorry, sir, my Lord Marquis is eating in the front box. No one is allowed to approach without the order of my Lord Marquis. Sir, if you have nothing to do, please leave consciously."

A Xuanjia soldier said to the big dog very politely.

The big dog nodded when he heard the words, but he didn't lose his temper.Instead, he said very proudly: "So you are the person from Cheng Chuli? That's easy to say. You go in and tell him that our Patriarch Cui Lao is waiting for him in the box of Qiu Zhiyi. Tell him to go see my Patriarch immediately. "

Dagou's words annoyed the Xuanjia soldiers.But they still said to him very politely: "Then, sir, please wait here for a while. I will go in and report to you now."

The big dog's mouth twitched into a slight sneer: "You're still smart."

The Xuanjia soldiers went in quickly and came out quickly, and then respectfully said to the big dog: "Sir, my Marquis has an invitation. If there is anything, you can tell him in person!"

"What the hell? I want me to invite him in person? Doesn't this young master of yours just have a little energy in the officialdom? He is not a big official, but he has a lot of airs."

The big dog walked into the box muttering and cursing, and saw dozens of soldiers eating.It made his eyes look around, but he couldn't see the person he was looking for.

Immediately, he said impatiently, "Which one of you is Cheng Chuli? Our Patriarch of the Cui family is waiting for you in the box of Qiu Zhiyi. Hurry up and visit my Patriarch."

At this moment, there was a sudden pop in the room, and then the big dog let out a scream, and took several steps back, clutching its left thigh, and leaned against the wall.

He took away the hand covering his thigh and saw that it was covered with blood.

"Asshole, who the hell sneaked up on me?"

"puff……"

"what……"

The big dog screamed again, and there was another blood hole in almost the same position on the left leg.

"Bastard, who dares to sneak up on me, stand up for me if you have the guts..."

The big dog growled angrily.

However, everyone in the box looked at him like a fool.No one answered his words.

"puff……"

The voice that frightened the big dog sounded again.

"what……"

Unsurprisingly, the big dog screamed again.Another shot in the left leg, in the same position.

The difference was that this time, the palm of his right hand was covering the wound.The bullet from the air gun directly penetrated his palm before hitting the wound on his thigh.

"Ah! You bastards wait for me..."

Regardless of the pain, the big dog turned around and opened the door to run.

But the moment he opened the door, someone kicked him on the stomach from the outside and kicked him back into the box.

Then, the box door closed again.

"Bastards, you bastards, you are too deceitful, I will fight you..."

The big dog roared and rushed towards the big round table in the box.

result.

"puff……"

It was still the same position on the left thigh, because he was shot three times in a row, the flesh was turned over, and an air gun bullet directly hit his thigh bone.

Finally, the big dog screamed, and finally lay down on the ground and rolled.

"Haha, four shots. Buy one shot and kill it. Buy two shots and kill it. Buy three shots and kill it. Oh my God, who bought four shots? And sell it so big ?”

Cheng Chu stood on a chair, on a simple gambling board temporarily drawn with a brush on the table.Haha laughed and fiddled.This time, he is the man in charge.

At this time, Kaiyuan Tongbao was placed on all four sides of the simple gambling board.But no matter how you look at it, the number four is still the most.

Their rule is, one shot down, one pays one.Two shots down, one pays two.Three shots down, one pays three.Four shots down, one pays four.

Therefore, Cheng Chuli had to pay four times the money to the fourth face.Killing all the money from noodles No. [-], [-], and [-] is not enough to pay for noodles No. [-]!Do you mean depressed or not?

Li Ke smiled like a little fox: "I'm sorry, teacher, I bet all the money on the fourth side. It's not much, and the total is only the same money. Teacher, lose money!"

"Hey, senior brother, how do you know that he can withstand four shots?" Cheng Chuli asked strangely.

Li Ke said with a smile: "Hey, luck, luck, there is no trick, it is completely confused."

The big dog rolling on the ground was in pain and wanted to kill. When he heard their conversation, he spit out a mouthful of old blood.

These bastards actually played with me, Cui Dagou.The big dog couldn't take it anymore, exhausted all its strength, and barked hysterically.

"Patriarch, help..."
