Chapter 231: News From Inquiry

Gu Fei thanked him solemnly, entered the counter, and thought about countermeasures with her chin in her hand.

After thinking for a long time, there was no other way except to be careful everywhere.

She asked Lian'er to guard the counter, and got up and went to the yard. Old Huang was lying on a rattan chair in the sun.

Gu Fei squatted beside him, "Uncle Huang, your brother Er Laizi just came."

Old Huang opened his eyes, "Here? What did he say?"

"Let me give him thirty taels of silver a month, otherwise I can't open this shop."

Old Huang sighed, "What should I do? I can't do anything to him. If there was a way, I wouldn't be like this."

Gu Fei said: "I just want to ask you, is there anyone else in Er Laizi's family?"

Old Huang sneered, "Originally he had a wife, he lost all the family property, and the wife ran away with her daughter. I heard that she ran away with a businessman from another place. Now he is full and the whole family is not hungry."

Gu Fei sighed. It is even more difficult to deal with without family, which means that this person has no weaknesses.

"Where does he live now?"

Old Huang shook his head, "How would I know? A man like him might just find a place to hang around for a few days."

Gu Fei was even more worried. He had no fixed place to live. Even if he wanted to find someone to put a sack on him and beat him up, it would be hard to find him.

Gu Fei returned to the front yard without getting any useful information.

At night, when Gu Fei was about to close the store, Master Zhou came over.

He sat down at the counter, approached mysteriously, and lowered his voice, "Sister Xiao Fei, Master Zhu came here specifically to tell you something."

"He asked around for information about Er Laizi's trouble in your store today, and he actually found out something useful."

Gu Fei opened his eyes wide, "What is it?"

"I tell you, Er Laizi is making such a fuss, and the government doesn't care about him. In fact, someone is behind him."

"What do you mean, who is behind it?" Gu Fei asked anxiously.

"We don't know who it is, and they won't say too much. They just say that the person behind this Er Laizi may be related to the Qi Wang Mansion."

"It is said that Er Laizi got drunk once and accidentally let out a few words, which were overheard by others."

"No wonder no one dares to take over this store. Think about it, who in our area is more powerful than the Qi Wang?"

Mr. Zhou pointed upwards, "It's that person, but the emperor is far away."

Gu Fei's face darkened. This is really what you fear.

She originally thought that Er Laizi was just a gangster. If he angered her, she could only take some risks to deal with him.

But the Qi Wang Mansion, is that something she can afford to offend?

For ordinary people like them, that is the sky above their heads!

Even if she killed Er Laizi, he would have new tricks.

Young Master Zhou looked at Gu Fei with sympathy, "You have invested several hundred taels of silver in this store, alas, now it is probably all gone."

Gu Fei was about to cry, can you please stop provoking me, "Thank you, Brother Zhou, and thank Young Master Zhu for taking care of me."

"Alas, this is nothing, although you are young, you are quite suitable for my temperament, I hope you can do it for a long time, and I can have more places to play." Young Master Zhou stood up, "Sister, take care of yourself, Brother Zhou really can't help you with this matter."

Young Master Zhou put his hands behind his back, shook his head and sighed, and walked away.

Gu Fei sat behind the counter for a while, stood up listlessly, and called Erlang Sanlang to the door.
