Chapter 136: Gao Yanei Takes the Bait

"Oh, my Yanei, you have already played with all the things in my small shop,

there really are no other fresh things!"

The shopkeeper replied with a bitter smile.

At the same time, he was still slandering Gao Yanei in his heart:

'Not to mention that I really don't have any new and interesting things, even if I did, I wouldn't give them to you!'

On this street, who didn't know that Gao Yanei ran rampant relying on his cheap father, Grand Marshal Gao?

In the past, after this guy took a fancy to something, he would just say "Go to the Grand Marshal's mansion to pay" and take the thing away openly.

But where would ordinary people dare to go to the Grand Marshal's mansion to ask for money?

Except for a few shops that also had nobles behind them, others could only break their teeth and swallow them into their stomachs,

honestly acknowledging this matter, just as paying protection money to the Grand Marshal's mansion.

But even if this was protection money, it couldn't be too frequent, right?

Where did the losses incurred during stocking, renting the shop, and waiting to sell goods not require white silver to fill?

Several small shops had already been forced to close down by Gao Yanei and his group!

"Boring, truly boring."

Gao Yanei, whose plan to find fun had failed, was full of boredom.

He then turned his gaze to several followers:

"Do you still know any interesting places where I can find fun?"

"No!"

Several followers shook their heads in unison.

Bianliang City was not small, and it was also very large, with a population of a full million,

but where were there so many places for Gao Yanei to find fun day after day for more than ten years?

The slightly interesting places in Bianliang City, such as gambling houses, the flower and bird street,

various juggling acts, etc., had all been visited by the idle Gao Yanei.

"Yanei, I do know a place that definitely has fun!"

Suddenly, a follower seemed to remember something and said excitedly.

"Oh? What kind of place is it?"

Gao Yanei became interested.

"Yanei, that place is interesting, but it might be a bit difficult to handle!"

The follower said with some difficulty.

"Difficult to handle?

Besides a few places in this Bianliang, is there any place that is difficult for me, Yanei, to handle?

Speak quickly!"

Gao Yanei didn't care at all about the difficulty in the follower's words.

With his father Gao Qiu's power, as long as it didn't involve the imperial family,

or the several ministers of the Privy Council, he could go to any other place!

Even those military families who followed the founding emperor and the second emperor to conquer the world,

and possessed hereditary titles, were now, in terms of rank, subordinates of his father, Grand Marshal Gao!

"Yanei, that place is exactly the Fanlou.

I heard that Li Miss Shishi is the most beautiful in the capital; if you can see her, it will definitely bring you a lot of fun!"

Seeing Gao Yanei so determined, the follower finally said the place.

"Fanlou, Li Miss Shishi!"

Hearing these two nouns, Gao Yanei's expression changed drastically, his fat right hand raised,

and with a "slap," he slapped the follower directly on the face.

"Ugh!"

The caught-off-guard follower was hit solidly and couldn't help but let out a cry of pain.

Gao Yanei didn't hold back his strength in this slap, and a palm print

that was very clear in the shape of five fingers soon appeared on the follower's face and began to swell.

The follower, wearing half a pig's head, asked with complete confusion:

"Yanei, why did you suddenly use such a vicious hand?"

"Don't mention the names Fanlou and Li Miss Shishi in the future!"

Gao Yanei didn't explain, just said with a gloomy face.

"Yes, yes."

Although the follower didn't understand the meaning, he could only respond repeatedly.

"Hey!

This guy is a newcomer and doesn't know the taboos of Yanei, the old man."

A follower with older qualifications gloated.

"Hehe, it would be better if Yanei just kicked him away."

There was another follower with old qualifications who didn't hide his malice toward the newcomer.

Although they were all Gao Yanei's followers, to say that they were brotherly,

united, and served Gao Yanei wholeheartedly was just a joke.

Why did they bear the huge infamy to follow Gao Yanei?

Wasn't it to borrow the tiger's power to bully others and mix some benefits behind Gao Yanei?

But even the prestige of Gao Yanei, a tiger in Bianliang, was limited.

If more foxes came, wouldn't the prestige shared by each fox be less?

That is, knowing it was impossible, and that they didn't have the ability to complete all of Gao Yanei's requirements alone,

otherwise, none of them would mind driving away all the others,

and enjoying Gao Yanei's prestige alone.

Gao Yanei, who walked to the side, didn't know everything about the infighting among his followers,

but he knew seven or eight out of ten: although he was a playboy,

his father was ultimately one of the few people standing at the top of the Song Dynasty's power.

Even if he didn't like to learn, he would have some methods and observation skills after being influenced by what he saw and heard.

However, he didn't care much: a few followers, if they did well, use them,

if they didn't do well, or went too far, just change one, isn't that okay?

Gao Yanei: A follower or two, in my heart is all the fun in Bianliang City~

And the reason why he was so angry was that Li Miss Shishi was indeed someone he couldn't afford to offend:

Think about what kind of playboy Gao Yanei was,

how could he not be interested in a famous courtesan like Li Miss Shishi who was the most beautiful in the capital?

At that time, knowing that it was difficult to enter Li Miss Shishi's eyes based on talent alone, he naturally started his old operation

—using his father Grand Marshal Gao's power to suppress people, making Li Miss Shishi have to submit.

As a result, this method, which had been tried and tested in the past, was like a mud cow entering the sea, with no effect at all.

Afterwards, he was taught a good lesson by Gao Qiu, who had always loved him.

Getting the teachings of his father Gao Qiu, Gao Yanei learned the inside story:

It turned out that Li Miss Shishi had somehow hooked up with the Emperor!

At that time, Gao Yanei was full of joy for having survived a disaster.

Since then, he had never been to any brothel again,

for fear of remembering that nightmarish experience.

"Sigh! No fun, how about going to Lin Chong's house for a stroll?"

Gao Yanei, whose plan to find fun had failed, remembered what had almost succeeded yesterday.

"That Zhang Niangzi is truly pitiful to behold!"

Thinking of Zhang Niangzi's chaste and resolute behavior of refusing to submit to death yesterday, Gao Yanei felt a heat in his lower abdomen.

Chastity is good!

He, Gao Yanei, just likes riding fierce horses!

According to his past experience, the more chaste the horse, the more obedient it is after being tamed,

and the more it can bring unimaginable enjoyment to men.

"Hehe..."

Thinking of the possible enjoyment in the future, Gao Yanei couldn't help but hang a lewd smile on his face.

As for Zhang Niangzi's husband Lin Chong, who might also be at home?

What could that wimp dare to do?

He only needed to use a little trick to lure him away, and then he could have a tryst with Zhang Niangzi.

Even if discovered, nothing would happen; at worst, he would ask his father to give him some benefits later.

In this way, he got Zhang Niangzi, found fun, and Lin Chong could also get a promotion and a raise, isn't that beautiful?

"Haha! Let's do that!"

Gao Yanei became more excited the more he thought about it.

'It seems another young lady is going to suffer.'

Several followers looked at each other and saw this meaning in each other's eyes.

In the past, when Gao Yanei showed this expression, it was often because he had set his sights on a young lady,

and was preparing to use some means to find some fun.

'Opportunity!'

At the same time, Zhang San, who had been following Gao Yanei since they left the Gao mansion, thought to himself.

"Let's go over there now, and act according to the plan!"

The short Zhang San said in a low voice to the thin and tall Li Si beside him.

Li Si was the number two person in the group of hoodlums who had been subdued by Lu Zhishen.

"Understood!"

Li Si nodded fiercely. Thinking of what was about to be done,

even he, who was extremely skilled at petty theft in the past, felt his legs go soft and... unparalleled excitement!

"Yanei, are you looking for excitement?"

Zhang San leaned into Gao Yanei's side and said mysteriously.

Gao Yanei sized Zhang San up and felt the familiar aura on Zhang San.

This aura was something he was too familiar with; after all, before his cheap father Gao Qiu made his fortune,

he was also the same identity—the aura of a small hoodlum who was idle and engaged in petty theft every day.

"That's natural."

Gao Yanei, who confirmed Zhang San's identity, said directly.

"Do you have any leads?"

Gao Yanei, knowing that Zhang San must have a purpose for coming here, asked.

"I don't have any leads."

Zhang San shook his head.

"No leads..."

Gao Yanei frowned and was about to scold:

Coming to find him without any leads, wasn't this playing him, Gao Yanei, for a fool?

Just as Gao Yanei was about to let his followers teach Zhang San a lesson,

he saw Zhang San look left and right first, and then change the subject:

"Yanei, although I don't have fun there, I do have a top-notch item!"

"Oh? What kind of item is it?"

Mentioning a good item, Gao Yanei instantly became impatient:

he was the person who liked these playthings the most.

Zhang San also knew that he had whetted his appetite enough, and continued:

"It's a parrot."

"A parrot."

Hearing the name parrot, Gao Yanei instantly lost interest.

Although this parrot, which could speak a few words and say things like "Hello" and "Welcome," was rare,

it was not a rare thing for their Grand Marshal's mansion.

Not to mention anything else, last year when his father Grand Marshal Gao had his birthday,

a subordinate officer sent a pair of parrots that were said to be from Jiaozhi.

These parrots could not only say auspicious words like "May your life be as long as the Southern Mountain and your fortune as vast as the Eastern Sea,"

but could also carry on a back-and-forth conversation.

"Yanei, don't be impatient, just listen to me slowly."

Seeing Gao Yanei's impatience, Zhang San said hurriedly.

"Speak quickly."

Gao Yanei, whose patience was not much left, waved his hand.

"Yanei."

Zhang San leaned into Gao Yanei's ear and said mysteriously:

"My parrot is different from ordinary parrots; it can sing!"

"What? There's actually a parrot that can sing?"

Even the well-informed Gao Yanei was shocked.

Even if this parrot was trained well, it was remarkable to be able to carry on a conversation like "Hello"

or "Have you eaten?";

let alone songs that had huge requirements for content and tone?

Even the parrot kept by the current Emperor on Wan Shou Mountain could only call "Long live, long live, long live";

as for the legend that this parrot could actively call "Bu Shangle come over" and summon the band to perform,

it was just a fixed repertoire process of palace dining that had been carefully trained.

"You wouldn't be trying to deceive me, Yanei, would you?"

Gao Yanei looked at Zhang San suspiciously:

such a treasure shouldn't fall into the hands of a small hoodlum like Zhang San.

Zhang San, who could survive in Bianliang with a group of hoodlums without doing heinous things, was naturally extremely clever.

His eyes rolled, and he immediately had an idea:

"Yanei, this parrot was obtained by us by accident,

and today we specifically want to offer it to Yanei in exchange for a status!"

Saying this, he also showed an expression full of longing.

"So that's it."

Gao Yanei nodded knowingly.

If Zhang San and the others had obtained a treasure and wanted to change their status, that made sense.

If you want to know who the hoodlums in the entire Bianliang City yearn for most now,

it must be Gao Qiu, Grand Marshal Gao, who hugged the Emperor's thigh, became a Grand Marshal,

and became 'a person who doesn't have to face a lawsuit even if he beats someone to death.'

It was perfectly normal for latecomers to think of imitating or borrowing strength.

"Where is that parrot? Let's go right now."

Gao Yanei, who thought he had figured everything out, was a bit impatient.

'The prey has taken the bait!'

Zhang San smiled in his heart and said immediately: "It's in my house." ===== CHAPTER 137 =====
