When the girls from Spring Garden arrived, Tong Guan was stunned. Why were these girls uglier than old sows?
In his memory, Spring Garden was opened the year he became the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi. It had been twenty years, and he could earn hundreds of thousands of taels of silver from this brothel every year.
The manager who had come with the singer came over trembling with fear and knelt down to cry. He said that the business of Spring Garden was extremely depressed this year, and all the good singers had been snatched away by Heaven's Destiny Garden and Happy Forest.
"I heard that those two places belong to the same boss. Who is it?”Tong Guan said furiously.
"I deserve to die! We called our brothers to cause trouble at their place, but we didn't get any advantage. They were all beaten out. However, according to the investigation I sent many times, these two families seem to be related to Tiger General Ximen Qing. There's an 80% chance that he's behind it.”
"Eldest Shixiong can just send the Imperial Army to seal off those two brothels and drag those girls here.”The 13 Gangsters 'Old Si Wen slammed the table and shouted. He was not interested in the few goods that were sent over now.
"Humph! As expected, it was Ximen Qing. He would settle the old and new scores together.”Tong Guan gritted his teeth.
"Pass on my orders. Guard Long, take a thousand men to search the Heavenly Destiny Garden. Guard Hu, take a thousand men to search the Joyful Forest. All of them will go in the name of searching for Liao spies. Guard Leopard, take a thousand men to guard the vicinity of Xi Men Qing's residence.”
"Eldest Senior Brother, there's no time to lose. We'll go kill that Ximen Qing now and come back to drink!”Wen Hang stood up and said.
"Alright, I wanted to take action tomorrow. Now that he is seriously ill, it is a good opportunity. It is not too late to report to the emperor after killing him!”Tong Guan decided to seize the opportunity and try to cook the rice tonight.
"Chief Steward Ju, take some men to the few ministers, Third Imperial Uncle, and Eighth Wangye's families and inform them to speak with me when the time comes. I think the Emperor will be a mute who can't say anything when he suffers, hahaha.”
"Yes, Master." Steward Ju ran out quickly.
Tong Guan arranged a series of countermeasures in one breath. He said to himself in admiration that the treasured saber was not old! Duke of Chu.
From the very first sentence Tong Guan and the Thirteen Gangsters spoke, every word was recorded on paper by the intelligence agent Xi Men Qing had placed in Tong Guan's residence. They were sent out of Tong Guan's residence using a secret method, and there were fast horses waiting outside.
Everything was under control. When Tong Guan sent out more than 2,000 Dragon and Tiger Guards to Heavenly Destiny Garden and Happy Forest, the singers inside had already been urgently transferred. The generals of Dragon and Tiger Guards searched the place from top to bottom but could not find a single person inside.
When they came out and were about to retreat and regain their sight, the 5,000 soldiers of the Imperial Army under XiMen Qing's control had already surrounded them. More importantly, these 5,000 soldiers not only outnumbered them, but they also had the Emperor's orders.
"The Dragon and Tiger Guards are not allowed to leave the camp!”Huang Jing arrived shortly after. The dozens of minor generals of the two thousand soldiers were captured and brought into the military camp to await punishment.
Tong Guan had already brought the Thirteen Gangsters to Ximen Qing's residence after receiving the news from the Dragon and Tiger Guards. The Leopard Guards he had sent out had already surrounded Ximen Qing's residence and were waiting for his order to break in.
As for Ximen Qing's mansion, it was pitch black, as if he did not know that danger was approaching.
Just as Tong Guan was about to give the order to attack, the Emperor's verbal order came again. It was a very simple verbal order."The Duke of Chu received the order and immediately came to the inner palace to meet the emperor.”
Tong Guan didn't dare to be negligent, wondering who leaked this information. The arrow was already on the bowstring and had to be fired. He ordered the Leopard Guards to retreat and the Thirteen Gangsters to charge in and kill Ximen Qing.
The Thirteen Gangsters heard Tong Guan's order and immediately jumped onto the wall. It was dark inside.
After going down the wall, he held his breath and observed for a while. Was there no one living here?
Why was it so eerie?
When they reached an open area, torches and lanterns suddenly lit up. Hundreds of soldiers had already surrounded them with bows and arrows. The bows and arrows were also doused with kerosene, and blue flames flickered.
Ximen Qiao was on the balcony upstairs, holding a golden fan as he looked at them. His face was red and he was smiling.
"Thirteen Gangsters? Let's see how you're going to protect it today!" Ximen Qiao laughed out loud, but his face suddenly darkened.”
