Chapter 171 Carefully Set Up the Plan
"Master Liu, Li Lao Hu has been in Yingchuan for many years. There are countless people who wanted to kill him, but all of them returned empty-handed. As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake. In Yingchuan, many people have failed to 'kill the tiger' and suffered from it instead."

In the study room of Pan's house, Pan Chuba looked at Liu Xunyi with worry. Just now, there were many people in the lobby, and there were many things to say, so Pan Chuba couldn't speak directly. At this moment, there were only the two of them in the study room, so Pan Chuba couldn't help but vent his worries.

Liu Xunyi raised his eyebrows and asked, "What is Mr. Pan worried about?"

"To be honest, I'm worried that Master Liu won't be able to lure Li Lao Hu out of the East Lake Gang." Pan Chuba said frankly, "Excuse me for being blunt, but Li Lao Hu is a cunning man. He will never put himself in danger unless it is absolutely necessary. He has spies all over Yingchuan. I believe he has already received the news and knows that the Xianwang Mansion is going to send people to deal with him. He knows that the East Lake Gang and the Xianwang Mansion are worlds apart, and he has no power to compete. Therefore, he will be doubly careful to prevent any accidents. I dare to ask Master Liu how he plans to lure the snake out of its hole, and I hope you can tell me frankly."

"Mr. Pan Ba ​​said well." Liu Xunyi nodded and said, "Given Li Lao Hu's current status and position in Yingchuan, it is not easy for just anyone to lure him away. If we push him too hard, it will make him more cautious and more difficult to deal with."

After that, under Pan Chuba's suspicious gaze, Liu Xunyi changed the subject and said with a smile: "But just now Master Pan Ba ​​also said that he would not show up unless it was 'absolutely necessary', but what if it came to the point of 'absolutely necessary'?"

"What do you mean by that?" Pan Chuba frowned, and asked in a half-understanding tone, "Can you make Li Lao Hu 'have no choice'?"

"Li Lao Hu has the final say in Yingchuan, and he can cover the sky with one hand. How can I have such ability?" Liu Xunyi smiled mysteriously and said faintly, "Although I don't have the ability to lure you into a trap, there are people who can. Just now, Mr. Pan Ba ​​said that Yingchuan and its surroundings are already full of Donghu Gang's spies, and he can get wind of our every move. This may be true. But I am sure that there is a person... maybe he is the only person in Yingchuan that Li Lao Hu dare not despise."

"Who?" Upon hearing this, Pan Chuba immediately became interested and asked hurriedly.

Liu Xunyi asked back, "Who is this person? I should be the one asking Mr. Pan Ba, why is Mr. Pan asking me instead?"

"This……"

Looking at Pan Chuba who looked confused, Liu Xunyi took the initiative to approach him, subconsciously looked around a few times, and then whispered: "Don't worry, Mr. Pan Ba, just leave Li Lao Hu and the Donghu Gang to me, I will definitely avenge the Pan family. However, the Pan family has been operating in Yingchuan for decades, so they must be familiar with the people and the place, and know everything. So I want to ask Mr. Pan Ba ​​about a person, and I hope Mr. Pan Ba ​​can tell me everything he knows. The more detailed the details about this person, no matter big or small, the better..."

……

Three days later, in the evening.

In the south of Yingchuan City, in a remote alley, there is a small square courtyard. From time to time, bursts of laughter from men and the chattering of women can be heard from the courtyard.

Inside the room, three young women with heavy makeup were laughing and surrounding a fair-looking man in his forties.

The three women were either holding wine glasses or dishes, and they were all flirting and trying their best to flatter the men.

The man let them serve him carefully with a satisfied look on his face, enjoying himself very much.

The man's clothes and appearance show his wealth and luxury, and the jade ring on his finger is obviously a priceless treasure.

This man was named He Shan. He was the "Daruhachi" appointed by the Mongolian court in Yingchuan. His position was similar to that of the "prefect" in the Song Dynasty. He was in charge of local military, political and people's livelihood. He was the true lord of Yingchuan.

He Shanben was a Han Chinese. There were two reasons why he could serve as an official in the Mongolian court.

First, thanks to his ancestors, He Shan's great-grandfather was a local official in Yingchuan appointed by the Song Dynasty court. After the Song-Jin War, his great-grandfather betrayed his country for fame and fortune and defected to the Jin people. The Jin Dynasty allowed his great-grandfather to continue to govern Yingchuan because of his merits. After that, the Song and Mongolia jointly destroyed the Jin Dynasty. He Shan's grandfather once again betrayed his master for fame and fortune and defected to Mongolia. Because his grandfather was eloquent and changed his attitude according to the situation, he escaped the disaster again, and was rewarded by the Mongolian court, allowing his whole family to change from Han to Mongolian. Since then, the He family began to regard themselves as Mongolians in a legitimate way, but they no longer served as officials.

Secondly, with the careful mediation of his father, He Shan, with his handsome appearance and eloquence, successfully married the youngest daughter of a Mongolian official many years ago. Soon after, He Shan successfully entered the official career with the help of nepotism and was sent to Yingchuan to serve until today.

As for the youngest daughter of the Mongolian minister, she was born ugly. She was extremely ugly and crippled. If not for this, this opportunity would probably not have come to He Shan.

In the first few years, He Shan was afraid to act rashly because he had just entered the officialdom, but as he grew older, he became more and more courageous and became more and more disgusted with his ugly wife. So two years ago, he bought this small courtyard in the south of the city and successively kept three concubines privately, keeping them in a golden house for his enjoyment.

Tonight, as usual, He Shan lied to his wife, saying that he was busy with government affairs and stayed overnight at the government office instead of returning home. But in fact, he secretly came here to have fun.

"Come on, come on, look what I brought you."

He Shan, who was drunk, took out three gold hairpins and a stack of silver bills from his pocket in a generous manner, threw them on the table, and laughed: "One gold hairpin per person, and as many silver bills as you want, haha..."

The three concubines were all overjoyed, with greed in their eyes. They hurriedly picked up the golden hairpins, put them on their heads impatiently, and rushed to flatter He Shan.

He Shan fell into the flowers, confused and infatuated, watching them compete with each other for beauty with relish, feeling extremely satisfied.

"Oh!"

Suddenly, a loud noise came from outside the courtyard door, followed by a chaotic and hasty sound of footsteps coming from far away. The sudden change made the four people in the room stunned at the same time. But before He Shan, who looked unhappy, could get up to check, the door had already been kicked open with a "bang".

Liao Chuan, Liao Hai and four or five disciples of Jingmen rushed into the room. Before He Shan could react, a steel knife with a cold glow was already placed on his neck.

"You... who are you?" He Shan asked in a trembling voice. At the same time, he kept looking outside the room, as if he was looking for something.

"No need to look." Liao Chuan said coldly, "All your men have been captured by my people. No one can save you now."

"What do you want to do?" He Shan suppressed his anxiety and shouted angrily, "Do you know who I am? If you dare to offend me here, you will suffer the consequences..."

"Are you He Shan?" Before He Shan could finish his words, Liao Chuan interrupted him impatiently.

"Now that you know..."

"take away!"

Seeing He Shan admit it voluntarily, Liao Chuan stopped talking and immediately gave an order. He suddenly grabbed He Shan's arm and dragged the anxious and struggling He Shan out of the room like a chick.

"What about the three women?" Liao Hai asked.

"Take them back together!" Liao Chuan responded, "We followed He Shan for three days and three nights just to find them."

Liao Chuan gave an order, and several disciples of the Jing Sect rushed into the room and took out the three concubines who were screaming.

He Shan was not stupid, but very smart. When he heard Liao Chuan say that they had been following him for three days, he guessed that they were well prepared. So he struggled hard again and shouted, "Who are you? What do you want from me?" He Shan deliberately made a noise to alert the neighbors. As long as someone reported to the police, he would have a chance to be rescued.

It's a pity that when He Shanxuan bought this courtyard, he chose a secluded place to avoid being seen, but he never expected that he would suffer a loss today.

"Someone wants to see you!" Liao Chuan answered casually while forcibly dragging He Shan into the carriage.

This carriage belonged to He Shan. Liu Xunyi had specifically instructed that when traveling through the streets and alleys of Yingchuan City, he must use He Shan's own carriage to avoid arousing suspicion from the Donghu Gang.

"Who wants to see me?"

"You'll know when you go!"

Before he finished speaking, Liao Hai whipped the horse whip, and the carriage immediately flew out of the alley and disappeared into a cloud of dust.

About half an hour later, the carriage stopped at the back door of Gaosheng Inn. Under the guidance of Liao Chuan and Liao Hai, the trembling He Shan, with his three concubines, came to a room in the backyard of the inn.

As soon as he entered the room, He Shan saw a figure who was just as anxious as himself. The man looked very similar to He Shan, and it was his cousin, He An.

As the saying goes, when one person succeeds, the whole family will prosper. He An and He Shan are from the same clan. After He Shan became successful, he recruited He An to be his sideman and made him a legal advisor in the Yingchuan government office. He looked decent on weekdays, but he was idle all day long and was particularly fond of antiques, calligraphy and paintings.

"He An?" He Shan looked at the bewildered He An in surprise, and asked suspiciously, "Why are you here? Didn't I ask you to stay home and look after my wife?"

When He Shan went out to meet his concubine secretly, he would arrange for his confidant He An to keep an eye on his wife at home to prevent the affair from being exposed.

"Brother, I..."

"Mr. He likes romance, and your brother has the same hobby. When we found the master, he was in the boudoir of Miss Xiaocui in Xingchun Tower, enjoying the happiness of having two wives. Haha..."

Before He An, who looked aggrieved, could speak, a clear laugh suddenly came from behind the screen. Then, Liu Xunyi, with a smile on her face, walked out slowly accompanied by Xu Heng and Tang Cong.

"I have long admired the great reputation of Master He. I have been thinking about you day and night and looking forward to meeting you. Today, I have no choice but to use this method to invite you to come. I hope you will forgive me! Forgive me!"
