Chapter 774

This was Dengping Tower, the largest brothel in the entire Changancheng, and even the world. A thug who could have a say here certainly wasn't an ordinary person.

He might even have some connection with the Great Qin imperial court.

If he could cooperate with such a person, it would be equivalent to standing directly on the shoulders of a giant.

Success would become much easier.

Sure enough, the thug opposite, upon learning that Li Er was from an aristocratic family and managed the entertainment sector, was inevitably tempted.

"To cooperate with me, you must understand one thing. Great Qin has protection for merchants like us.

If you dare to play any tricks, I will report it to the government. The imperial court will definitely send a massive army to demand an explanation from your Emperor!"

This thug was worthy of being a thug; he knew how to borrow power to threaten people.

This sentence made Li Er feel another lump of anger stuck in his chest.

Great Qin has protection for merchants!

If a merchant is cheated, they send a massive army to demand an explanation!

Li Er learned another trick today.

After the business was settled, the gang of thugs retreated, leaving Li Er and Fang Xuanling to continue enjoying themselves here.

Fang Xuanling had just taken a punch, and his face was bruised.

At this moment, he couldn't care about the injury on his face and asked Li Er.

"Old Li, do we really have to cooperate with them?"

Li Er nodded and said.

"There's no other way. I hope our Great Tang economy will have some improvement from now on."

Fang Xuanling felt some pity seeing Li Er's appearance of enduring humiliation to carry out a mission.

Thinking back to when they fought for the world together, how high-spirited they were, how they enjoyed settling grudges!

Now, they were actually threatened by a thug and were helpless.

In the end, they even had to do business with them.

It was shameful even to say it out loud!

Since when did the Great Tang royalty need to rely on a thug for help?

"Your Majesty, you have been wronged!"

Li Er's expression was dim, no longer having the high-spiritedness of the past.

"For the sake of the Great Tang, I can endure any grievance!"

A small room in the backyard of Dengping Tower.

The thug who had just talked about cooperation with Li Er stood respectfully in the room, his hands hanging down, his few followers all guarding outside.

His body was slightly bowed forward.

"Mr. Li, I have already followed your instructions and initially negotiated the cooperation with those two Great Tang people."

The person he called Mr. Li was sipping a cup of tea.

"Hmm, you weren't too proactive, were you? You didn't leave any unnatural traces, right?" The thug replied.

"No, they didn't have any suspicions." Mr. Li nodded faintly and put down the teacup.

"Good! Just as I said before, if this matter succeeds, I will give you a brothel to manage yourself!" The man's face showed joy, and he cupped his hands.

"Thank you, Mr. Li! No matter when, I, Hou Liang, will definitely serve Mr. Li wholeheartedly!" Mr. Li stood up, paced slowly, and left Dengping Tower.

Most people in the building didn't recognize him, thinking he was just an ordinary guest.

The madam saw Mr. Li and was about to salute, but was stopped by a look from him.

He walked out so low-key.

Mr. Li was none other than Li Ke.

Qin Mu had put him in charge of selling books to Jiangnan, and a very important proportion of that was musical scores and dance scores.

Today, he learned that his father and Fang Xuanling had come to Dengping Tower.

It was just the right time to use them so that the Great Qin musical scores and dance scores he managed could circulate in Jiangnan without obstruction!
