Du Qi helped Jin Wuque up and said, "I'm not against you finding out information about the Eastern Palace. In fact, I'm in favor of it, because the Eastern Palace and I are at odds with each other."
"But I hope that if you decide to make a move, you'll have to report it to me in advance."
"I'm not allowed to act alone."
"I once promised that I would help you get your revenge. I haven't forgotten about it. "
"But now, the Eastern Palace is too powerful."
"Even though the Crown Prince, Li Jiancheng, is hated by the Emperor, the Eastern Palace is still the same. In reality, the Eastern Palace is still the Eastern Palace. It hasn't been affected, so we can't make a move for now. "
Du Qi continued, "When it's time to make a move, I'll make a move. In short, I won't ignore what I promised. You don't have to worry about that. "
Jin Wuque said solemnly, "I trust you."
Du Qi said, "It's good that you trust me. What you need to do now is be patient. Revenge is a dish best served cold. For now, let him be free. There's no rush to make a move. As long as we seize the opportunity, we'll strike at lightning speed. In any case, you have to ensure your own safety. Do you understand? "
"Understood!"
Jin Wuque nodded.
Du Qi changed the topic and said, "I just noticed that there are two pieces of information in your report that can be considered to be related to us or me."
Jin Wuque asked, "Which two pieces of information are you talking about?"
Du Qi said, "The first piece of information is that the Chang 'an County Magistrate, Wang Minzhi, has been transferred to another place. According to your report, the new Chang 'an County Magistrate is called Xie Zhizhou. Your report isn't detailed enough. What's up with this Xie Zhizhou? "
Jin Wuque replied, "Young Master, Xie Zhizhou was once a County Magistrate in a small county. Yes, he came from Huainan Dao's Yongning County and was the County Magistrate there. He used the Crown Prince's connections to be transferred to Chang 'an. After all, Wang Minzhi has been promoted. So it's reasonable for Xie Zhizhou to be the County Magistrate. "
Du Qi frowned and said, "So Xie Zhizhou is following the Eastern Palace's orders?"
"Yes!"
Jin Wuque nodded.
Du Qi said, "When I wasn't around, did Xie Zhizhou send people to cause trouble?"
"Never!"
Jin Wuque shook his head and explained, "After all, our restaurant has Young Master's reputation. Therefore, Xie Zhizhou's name has never appeared. However, among the ruffians and scoundrels in Yongxing City and even the northern part of the city, one of them has appeared. He is one of Xie Zhizhou's people. "
Du Qi asked, "Who?"
Jin Wuque said, "This person's name is Xie Meng, and he says that he is Xie Zhi Zhou's nephew. Xie Hun isn't tall, but his methods are vicious. In a short period of time, he killed several Rangers in the north. Now, he's about to unify the Rangers in the north. "
Du Qi said, "Now that you mention it, I understand. Xie Zhizhou's plan was simple. He may not be able to suppress me in the officialdom, especially since I have His Majesty's protection. But with Xie Hun around, it was different for Xie Hun to use underhanded methods. I reckon that these people will come to cause trouble soon. "
Jin Wuque said, "Young Master is right. Therefore, during this period of time, I've already told Eighth Brother Zhong to be careful and to avoid any trouble. With Eighth Brother Zhong patrolling, even if there are ruffians and scoundrels, we won't be afraid. "
Du Qi said, "It's good that you've made arrangements."
After a pause, Du Qi said, "Xie Zhizhou is one thing. The second thing is related to He Mengyao in the Imperial Fragrance Brothel. In your intelligence report, you recorded that people from the Eastern Palace went to the Imperial Fragrance Brothel several times to meet He Mengyao. How did you find out about this? "
Jin Wuque said, "Young Master, this wasn't a big deal at first. But because it's related to the Eastern Palace, I recorded it. The news came from some customers in the restaurant. They said that they went to the Imperial Fragrance Brothel several times to look for He Mengyao. But every time, they said that someone was there and He Mengyao didn't want to see them. These customers asked around in private and found out that people from the Eastern Palace went there. That's how they got this news. "
Du Qi narrowed his eyes.
When Qianxue mentioned He Mengyao, Du Qi had some doubts in his heart. Now that Jin Wuque mentioned this, Du Qi became even more vigilant.
He Mengyao was probably related to the Eastern Palace.
Logically speaking, the Imperial Fragrance Brothel was backed by the Duke of Qin's Residence. All the singers in the Imperial Fragrance Brothel were trained by the Duke of Qin's Residence. But now, He Mengyao was related to the Eastern Palace.
This meant that the Duke of Qin's Residence's control over the Imperial Fragrance Brothel had been leaked. As for why He Mengyao was looking for him, the reason was even simpler. It was because of him and the Eastern Palace.
Du Qi closed the book in his hand and reminded Jin Wuque to be careful.
Jin Wuque acknowledged his words.
"Manager, Manager Jin, something bad has happened."
At this moment, Eighth Brother Zhong's urgent voice came from outside the courtyard. Eighth Brother Zhong's expression was hurried. When he entered the courtyard and saw Du Qi, he bowed to Du Qi and said, "Young Master, something bad has happened. A life has been lost."
Jin Wuque's heart skipped a beat.
The business of the restaurant was good.
But once a life was lost, the situation would be different.
Du Qi's expression became solemn. He said in a low voice, "Don't worry. The sky won't fall. Tell me, what's going on? What kind of life did you lose? "
Eighth Brother Zhong explained, "Young Master, this is what happened. It was close to dinner time. In a private room on the second floor of the restaurant, there was a table of people eating. Among these people, the person who is related to the murder case is called Zhong Chuyi. "
"He owes money to the casino, and the people of the casino came here to collect the debt."
"The two sides got into a fight and started fighting. As a security guard of the restaurant, I couldn't just sit by and watch. I brought people to stop them, hoping to separate the two sides. Who would have thought that one of my subordinates would accidentally kill one of them? The person who died was from the casino. "
At this moment, Eighth Brother Zhong was also panicking.
Apart from a life, the situation was different.
Du Qi frowned.
Eighth Brother Zhong's men had actually killed the other party.
Du Qi said, "How did your men kill the other party?"
"With their fists!"
Eighth Brother Zhong hurriedly said, "Young Master, the person who attacked is called Cui Yixiong. When he attacked, his fist landed on the head of the casino's ruffian. He killed the other party with one punch. "
Du Qi said, "Let's go and take a look."
Du Qi was helpless when such a thing happened. He even guessed that this group of ruffians might have been arranged by Xie Hun to deliberately cause trouble so that trouble would occur. Even the person who was killed might have been a problem. In fact, there might even be other possibilities for this matter.
But Du Qi wasn't sure yet.
Du Qi led Jin Wuque out of the backyard. Not long after, they arrived at the elegant room on the second floor and met Zhong Chuyi and his men.
"Young Master Du, my men were killed by your men. Give me an explanation for this matter. "
The leader of the casino spoke.
Du Qi said, "I haven't asked. Who are you?"
The leader of the ruffians said, "I am Li Daquan. Young Master Du, my brother who was killed is called Chen Fa. He came with me to collect a debt. As the saying goes, a debt must be repaid. It is only right. "
"I came to collect a debt, but your men stopped me. It's fine if there was a conflict. However, Chen Fa was beaten to death. There must be an explanation for this. "
"Young Master Du is a person of status. I am just a lowly person. I don't dare to compete with Young Master Du. I just want to know how you plan to solve this matter. "
Li Daquan said with a solemn expression. However, his words were filled with an aggressive tone.
