Chapter 57: The Old Man in Tsing Yi
There are two criteria for judging whether a group can thrive and develop in the long run: first, whether the group can bring benefits to all members, and second, whether it can respond in a timely manner to recover losses when the interests of the group are violated. Those who can do the above two things will have a bright future and a prosperous career, otherwise the future will inevitably be bleak.
As the largest force in Ningfeng City, Xiangyunzhuang must do the above two things. Therefore, when the news of the accident of the third team led by Ye Heng was transmitted back to Xiangyunzhuang, after discussion, there was an immediate response.
The next day, Xiangyunzhuang again organized people to go to the Evergreen Dart Bureau, this time, along the way galloping, dusty, extremely fast! In order to be able to rush to Shuoqiu Prefecture as soon as possible, it was even more non-stop, wearing the stars and wearing the moon, and it only took five days to rush to Jinyu Mountain first!
Naturally, what happened to Ye Heng and the others in the Evergreen Dart Bureau also spread to Jinyu Mountain, and Duan Rongzu, the king of the mountain, didn't believe those rumors at all. Bandits have bandits' principle of doing things, bandits are not as good as pigs and dogs who are scolded by those who claim to be in high society, if these public opinions can also kill people, the bandits hear their words, they don't need to send official troops to encircle and suppress, they should have committed suicide in shame a long time ago. As bandits, they naturally have their own way of judging things, so in their eyes, those words that follow the trend are tantamount to farting, and they only trust their own judgment! Therefore, bandits can still make friends, and when they make friends, they naturally have to conform to their standards of conduct. And the code of conduct of the bandits is the righteousness of the rivers and lakes. Relying on the righteousness of the rivers and lakes, relying on love and righteousness to make friends, of course, you can also make friends. The friends you make with this, as long as you recognize them, you can completely trust them. Therefore, in front of the bandits, for their friends, they do not believe what others say, they only care about what they can do for their friends!
Those so-called righteous people who talk about the great right and wrong all day long and are sanctimonious are worthless in the eyes of the bandits, and those who do not say anything, but who do not say anything, but who use righteousness and squander wealth and save the people from fire and water, are the most respected by the bandits. Everyone understands this truth, but when they really encounter things, the vast majority of people tend to pay attention to what others say, and ignore what others have done. Don't be confused with those bandits who steal chickens and dogs, bully the people, and go down indiscriminately!)
The bandits of Jinyu Mountain saw the banner of Xiangyunzhuang from afar, and Duan Rongzu, the king of the mountain, personally led people out of the mountain to greet him, but fortunately, there were three elders in Xiangyunzhuang who traveled, so the two sides did not fight. According to the upright temperament of the second elder Zhou Jing, he was anxiously hurrying away, but he was blocked by the bandits, and he used nonsense to kill all the way!
Fortunately, the eighth elder Tai Shi Qian was old and serious, and the twelfth elder He Yun was wise, and they all saw that the people who came down from Jinyu Mountain had no malicious intentions, so they pressed the second elder Naixia, so that there was no chaos! When the two sides met, the king of the mountain first expressed his intention and wanted to inquire about what happened in the Evergreen Dart Bureau, what was going on! The people who thought of Xiangyunzhuang were also unknown, so they went to Shuoqiu Prefecture to investigate this matter in order to find out about it. Knowing the intentions of Xiangyunzhuang and his party, Duan Rongzu, the king of the mountain, didn't say a word, waved his big hand, and immediately let him go, and the people and horses of Xiangyunzhuang were able to cross the mountain smoothly.
Although the people of Xiangyunzhuang didn't know why the bandits in Jinyushan were so easy to talk to, the stupid people also guessed that it must be related to Ye Heng who passed by before. In this way, everyone has a deeper understanding of Ye Heng's character, so they will not believe that Ye Heng will steal the dart silver of the Evergreen Dart Bureau. After passing the Jinyu Mountain, it only took one day and one night for the team to come to Shuoqiu Prefecture.
After a short rest, the team got up again and rushed to Heian City. Along the way, especially the closer you get to Ping'an City, the more people you will encounter in the Evergreen Dart Bureau. The dart master of the Evergreen Dart Bureau is obviously looking for someone, and each person has several portraits in his hand, and compares them one by one with each person he encounters, and checks them very carefully! If he encounters a person who looks similar to the one in the portrait, he immediately steps forward and ties him up, and then sends someone to escort him back to the dart board; if anyone resists, he will immediately suffer a bloody disaster. Such an act is simply lawless, brutal and barbaric!
But the more so, the more strange it is. The more this is the case, the more it exposes the importance that the Evergreen Dart Bureau attaches to this matter.
However, when these high-flying and domineering dart masters saw the team of Xiangyunzhuang from a distance, they would hide far away. This makes the people of Xiangyunzhuang even more suspicious, the more the opponent hides it, the more he wants to cover it up, it is clear that he is telling others that there are no three hundred taels of silver here, and the people of Xiangyunzhuang want to find out!
The team entered the city of peace and walked straight to the largest inn in the city, the Yue Guest Inn. Someone came to the guest inn three days ago, saying that there is a large group of people coming today, and from today onwards, the inn will be chartered for three days in a row. Therefore, the current Yue guest inn is deserted, there is not a single guest, only the guys of the inn are busy back and forth.
The team soon arrived at the inn, and the men quickly arranged the accommodation of the group. The kitchen immediately started cooking, and it didn't take long for a hearty lunch to be ready. After lunch, leave the necessary personnel on guard, and order everyone else to rest. The three elders came together to a secluded guest room, which was guarded within a radius of 100 meters, and after a short time, one of the guards entered the room with a young man dressed in rags and beggars.
The beggar entered the guest room, his waist straightened instantly, his expression changed suddenly, and in a blink of an eye, the person who came seemed to be a different person, the original sluggish state was gone, and his gestures exuded majestic pride. The three elders immediately stood up to greet them, and the second elder Zhou Jing was the most anxious, and said, "Tianxiao, you came to this peaceful city in advance, do you have anything to gain?"
The person who came was Chu Tianxiao, when the news of the great change in the Evergreen Dart Bureau reached the White Horse Villa, Chu Tianxiao's first reaction was to roar, this is impossible! He knows best what kind of person Ye Heng is, let alone 200,000 taels of silver, even if it is 200,000 taels of gold, Ye Heng will not move a finger. He knew that Ye Heng and the others must have fallen into someone else's trap, so he immediately flew a pigeon to report to Xiangyunzhuang, and he brought a few entourages with him, disguised as various professions, and entered Ping'an City to inquire about the news. Now that the brigade of Xiangyunzhuang has come, the information obtained by Chu Tianxiao has just come in handy.
Hearing the second elder's question, Chu Tianxiao smiled before he could say anything, since he learned about this matter, Chu Tianxiao was extremely depressed in his heart, so many people who love to laugh have not laughed for so many days. Now that the truth has been discovered, the long-lost smile has reappeared on his face. Seeing Chu Tian's smile, that smile seemed to be contagious, everyone immediately let go of the anxiety in their hearts, and immediately relaxed, their hearts were light, and they couldn't help but smile.
Chu Tian said with a smile: "Although the matter has not been completely investigated, the general process has been ascertained! I said three elders, are you planning to let me stand and talk like this?"
As Chu Tianxiao's direct boss, the Eighth Elder naturally knew his temperament, and scolded with a smile: "Stinky boy, if you don't let you sit and talk, you won't say anything, right? Be careful that I smash your ass!" Having said that, he still let Chu Tianxiao in and sat down.
The Twelfth Elder He Yun sent someone to ask for tea and asked, "Tianxiao, let's talk about it, what is going on?" Everyone is very worried about this matter. ”
The tea was quickly served, Chu Tianxiao took the teacup, drank it all, and said, "Elder He, you must have made up your mind for a long time, in fact, things are the same as you think!"
The Twelfth Elder breathed a sigh of relief, but the Second Elder was anxious, and shouted, "What are you two fighting dumb fans! I said Chu boy, what the hell is going on, you can tell me directly, don't do these twists and turns, my old Zhou is too big!"
Chu Tian smiled and said: "After a few days of investigation, it can be determined that the whole thing is a bureau set up by the Evergreen Dart Bureau!" At that moment, Chu Tianxiao told the news he got and his own judgment and inventory, and based on these news, the four of them discussed countermeasures, and after everything was in order, they went back to their rooms to rest.
Early the next morning, the people of Xiangyunzhuang first sent the worship post to the Evergreen Dart Bureau, and then the three elders and Chu Tianxiao and his party of four walked together and went to the Dart Bureau in a leisurely manner. It is said that after Zhu An, the leader of the Evergreen Dart Bureau, received the post, his heart was shocked, and he secretly said that the time to come is finally here! Zhu An couldn't help but look at the old man beside him, and then he was relieved, and at the same time had some faint expectations.
As the owner of the Evergreen Dart Game, Zhu An is not as stupid as he looks. The Zhu family has been running the Evergreen Dart Bureau for generations, and has a wide range of people in Shuoqiuzhou, and the relationship with black and white is also quite good; now doing something that has the spirit of the dart game, if it is not for the huge return, and at the same time can ensure the absolute safety of the dart game, Zhu An will definitely not be scheming to calculate Xiangyunzhuang. Now that he has done it, Zhu Anxin has his own plans!
When the two elders and the four of them came to the Evergreen Dart Bureau, Zhu An actually greeted the gate of the Dart Bureau in person, smiling and folding, like a chrysanthemum! Now the wall and gate of the Evergreen Dart Bureau have been rebuilt, and the dart flag is also standing tall, but the newly painted paint still exudes a pungent smell, as if telling the original encounter.
Zhu An trotted all the way, came to the four of them, and said with a smile: "Oh! Today, the four heroes of Xiangyunzhuang have come to the big frame, which suddenly makes my little evergreen dart game shine!
The four of them were naturally disgusted with Zhu An's face, and the second elder made it clear that he was here to find trouble, and said in an unkind tone: "You are the master of the Evergreen Dart Bureau, Zhu An?"
"It's down there, everyone is a guest from afar, please come inside!Please come inside!" Zhu An didn't seem to hear the unkindness in the second elder's words, and said very politely.
The second elder stepped in with his legs raised, followed by the other three. When I came to the hall of the dart board, I found that there were already people inside, and an old man in Tsing Yi was sitting in the master's place, ignoring everyone who came in, and drinking tea leisurely on Erlang's legs. Everyone entered the hall, and the old man tasted tea by himself, and he didn't even raise his eyelids.
Zhu An didn't mean to be dissatisfied with the old man's arrogant approach at all, and nodded to him from a distance, seeing that the old man didn't respond, he didn't feel embarrassed, as if the old man in Tsing Yi should be like this, and continued to entertain everyone to sit down, and then turned around and sat down at the bottom of the old man in Tsing Yi. The four of Xiangyunzhuang looked at each other, everyone was an old Jianghu, and they couldn't see anything wrong.
The appearance of such a high-profile appearance of the old man in Tsing Yi is undoubtedly to give Xiangyunzhuang a dismount!
Zhu Angui is the master of the dart game, although the two sides have just formed a blood feud, they also want to personally welcome the visitors of Xiangyunzhuang, but this old man ignored everyone, obviously using his actions to tell the people who came that all of you are too different from my identity, and you are not worthy of standing up to greet you in person. In addition, the old man in Tsing Yi has been sitting in the master's position, knowing the intentions of the people coming to Xiangyunzhuang, but he turned a deaf ear, looking at his attitude, he clearly looked down on Xiangyunzhuang. The hearts of the four of them suddenly tightened, everyone knew that they had encountered hard stubble!
Sure enough, before the people of Xiangyunzhuang sat down, the old man in Tsing Yi suddenly spoke, listening to his tone, which was extremely arrogant, although he was asking the four people, but his eyes still fell on the teacup, and he didn't glance at this side, and asked weakly: "Since you are from Xiangyunzhuang, can you speak here on behalf of Xiangyunzhuang?"
