Chapter 44: A Few Families Rejoice and a Few Families Grieve
Because the distinction between superior and inferior in this battle was very clear, and there were highly respected "old ghosts" mediating in it, Hong Yanwu and the "Eight Forks" side went quite smoothly after they returned to the negotiating table this time. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
It didn't take much effort for them to reach a mutually acceptable settlement.
There are three main contents.
First of all, the three parties of "Eight Forks", "Small Landlords" and "Gongzi" promised to exchange the ownership of the entire 40 routes at a price of 2,400 yuan. Of this 1,000 yuan, they took it with them and delivered it on the spot, and promised to pay the remaining 1,400 yuan in 10 days.
On the surface, there seems to be a lot of gap between this and Hong Yanwu's initial economic demands, but he himself actually understands very well that the "player" does not pay attention to "yards of silver", and no matter how big the "handle" is, there is not much cash in his hand.
Besides, during this period of time, not only did the "Eight Forks" and them not make any progress, but those injured subordinates also had to pay for the aftermath. What's more, there is also a sum of money to invite people and helpers. Therefore, this is basically a number that the "eight prongs" can only bear by biting their back molars. I'm afraid that no matter how hard it is squeezed, there will not be much oil and water.
Since this is the case, Hong Yanwu agreed quite sensibly, and did not unrealistically ask for more.
Secondly, the "big fart" and the "old man" also paid 200 yuan each at the scene, even if they apologized for pulling out Hong Yanwu's gun today.
This article is completely the "old ghost" making his own claim. His purpose is not only to want the "big old fart" and "old man" to pay part of the expenses to fill part of Hong Yanwu's financial requirements for the "eight forks". It is also to borrow the favors they owe to them, so that they can completely give up their plans to retaliate in the future.
Speaking of which, this is really not an "old ghost" who has nothing to worry about, the main ones are guns in their hands, and if they really want to do it again, if they don't get it right, something big will happen. Don't forget, once a firearm is involved, it will always be a big case at the Public Security Bureau. This is also for the overall tranquility of the "player" circle in Nancheng.
In this regard, Hong Yanwu and the already frightened "big old fart" and "old man" have no objection, they all expressed their willingness to reconcile and not find each other's back-ups.
As for the last one, that is the punishment for Hong Yanwu's "carrying people".
The "old ghost" is a person who strives for justice, and he knows that there is no one in the world who can take advantage of everything. Therefore, since in terms of money, the "Eight Forks" side has endured the pain and paid a great price, so he must not cover up Hong Yanwu's violation of the rules, so that he can give an explanation to everyone.
Originally, according to the rules, the punishment of "three knives and six holes" should be imposed in public, in order to serve as a warning to other people in the circle who do not abide by the rules. But to everyone's surprise, at this point, Hong Yanwu also proposed another solution, he actually expressed his willingness to replace the punishment of "three knives and six holes" with himself and Chen Liquan "washing their hands in a golden basin" and completely disbanding the mountain and withdrawing from the rivers and lakes.
To tell the truth, all of you here are treacherous and cunning old rivers and lakes, but no one really thinks that Hong Yanwu is deeply repentant and wants to set an example for the younger generations. Everyone actually knows that this kid just wants to escape the pain of corporal punishment and live a comfortable life with the money he has collected.
But the important thing is that on the one hand, Hong Yanwu's residual power of holding a detonator to fill the stove just now has been deeply imprinted in the minds of these people, and everyone knows that this is a bastard who can't be provoked, if he is forced to be hated, I am afraid that there will be endless troubles in the future
On the other hand, everyone also knows that if Hong Yanwu takes this step, it means that in the future, he will no longer be able to have any disputes with everyone over interests such as pickpocketing and "grabbing the Buddha".
In contrast, insisting on severe punishment will only increase the resentment between each other and harm others and not oneself. But if there is one less bastard who is not afraid of death as an opponent, it is equivalent to one less time bomb that can detonate at any time for everyone. How to choose, and what is there to hesitate about?
So most people's reaction to this matter was secretly relieved, and no one took it seriously, and they all nodded in agreement. Even the "Eight Forks" themselves feel that today's "blood" is a bit of a plague god and a sense of breaking wealth and avoiding disasters. I feel a little better.
In short, this negotiation made Hong Yanwu's wish come true.
And the "old ghost" was not in vain, and he was able to successfully mediate such an earth-shattering "ballast", not only did he sell the two sides of the negotiation a big favor, but his prestige and reputation naturally rose to a higher level.
Only the "Eight Forks" side returned with a feather, not only losing face but also having to "bleed heavily", which can be regarded as losing money and going to grandma's house.
In this way, the tense and turbulent night of "Jinghua Restaurant" finally ended peacefully.
At 11 o'clock that night, in the snack bar of the "Xinfeng Restaurant" next to the Capital Cinema on the opposite side of the telegraph building on Chang'an Street, Hong Yanwu, Chen Liquan, "Little Baizi", "Red Leaves", "Naughty Child" and several of their little brothers all sat on two square tables put together, holding wine glasses high, and gathered together.
There was a table full of delicacies in front of them, but there were no delicacies from the mountains and seas, namely "boiled peanuts", "green onion tofu", "mustard duner", "celery bean curd", "cold cabbage heart", these two portions of ten plates of cold dishes, plus eight liters of beer and a bowl of wontons in front of each person.
This is not Hong Yanwu's stinginess, tucking the 1,400 yuan in his waist bag to play a small pick. In fact, the main reason is that restaurants generally close at eight or nine o'clock in these years, and there are very few places where you can drink and eat at night.
If you count the number of families, those that are still open at night are in addition to the "day and night canteen" in the Qianmen building, that is, the "Qinghai Restaurant" in Dongsi, a wonton shop in Xisi, and this "Xinfeng Restaurant".
And in comparison, the "day and night canteen" is on the land of "Eight Forks", the "Qinghai Restaurant" only sells steamed buns and gruel at night, and the wonton shop in Xisi is only open at one window, not to mention, you have to eat and drink outdoors. So no matter how you look at it, it is not as suitable as the "Xinfeng Restaurant" that is closer to Baiguang Road.
So it's not foolish at all, to have such a table at this point, in fact, it is already an extremely rare table of feasts for night owls, who like to stay at night and float around.
After touching a few cups, according to the general rules, the following process began to enter the stage of bragging.
But just when "Naughty Child" had just lit a cigarette for Hong Yanwu and had no time to praise him, "Red Leaves" suddenly remembered something terrible.
He was immediately very anxious, and shouted at Hong Yanwu with his voice suppressed.
"Wu, your 'fire detonator' is still on you! don't smoke, come out with me......"
But when Hong Yanwu heard this, he not only smiled evilly indifferently. And he even reached into his arms, took out a bundle of "fire detonators", and then waved his hand very carelessly, and threw it at him.
"You want it, here you go!"
Just this guy, "Momiji" was so angry that he couldn't even scold, he even felt that his hair was about to stand up, and he thought that his life was likely to be confessed.
Because he knew that the composition of the "fire detonator" was mercury thunderate, an initiating charge that is extremely sensitive to flames, needle punctures and impacts, and can cause an explosion if he is not careful.
Unexpectedly, when he hurriedly caught the things, his nose was almost crooked.
The amount of dare is wrong, fake!
", what the hell!" "Momiji" scolded angrily, pulled out one tightly, and pulled the paper strengthening hat like this. Yes, the "stuffing" inside was suddenly exposed.
"You're really good, it's full of sand!"
Seeing the grievances on the face of "Red Leaves", Hong Yanwu laughed on the spot.
"Hahaha!'Momiji'?
"Red Leaves" couldn't hold his face even more now, and he was half angry and half annoyed.
"Hey, a few of our brothers are kind enough to help you today, and dare to let your rabbit cub play tricks as a monkey!
Hong Yanwu hurriedly persuaded him, his tone serious and respectful.
"Rest your anger, stop your anger! Brother, it's really mine, don't be angry. But then again, if it weren't for your cooperation, relying on your professional knowledge and real reaction, where would there be such a good effect......?
"Momiji" suddenly realized.
"Good boy, from the beginning of the co-authorship, I was in your calculations! Who did you learn to be so adulterous?"
Because of the slowing down of the "red leaves", Hong Yanwu began to stink and be poor again.
"Brother, do you still need to ask? Just learn from you, we also have a book of three kingdoms to determine the world. You give an evaluation, how about the "Dangyang Bridge" I sang today?"
I didn't expect "Momiji" to hear this, and it was really a cheer.
"Hey, if you're the thing, you've really put a lot of effort into it. Just looking at the appearance, the tube shell and the reinforcing cap are all right, and they can be fake and real. And the other one, the look on your kid's face when he ordered the detonator at that time was just seamless. If you want me to say, you are so good at pretending, it's bad if you don't act. High, really high!"
"You've won a prize. I don't know the depth, I still have to hone it. ”
Hong Yanwu was modest in his mouth and proud in his heart, but as soon as the words of "Red Leaves" changed, he asked a question that made him scratch his head a lot.
"Well, but, you haven't been in a mine, so how do you know what a detonator looks like? Where have you seen this?"
Hong Yanwu's eyes rolled, and he began to smile again.
"I said, brother, can you let me keep some money? The big girls have already gotten on the sedan chair, so don't ask where the matchmaker is......
The confinement bends and shines in Kyushu, and a few families are happy and a few are sad.
On the same night, at the same time, on the second floor of the "Day and Night Canteen", the "Eight Forks" group were drinking alcohol. Each of them was not in a high mood, and the high spirits and sneers and shouts of the past were all gone, and now they are all deflated eggplants.
"Two thousand four! This is two thousand four! He is not afraid of holding himself to death! How dare you open your teeth!"
As soon as the "little landlord" swallowed a sip of bitter wine, he slapped the table with pain.
"Eight Forks" lamented.
"Okay, I almost made people even serve the pot just now, how much is it, and it's not expensive to buy a life. What's more, it's come to this, what's the point of talking about it again!"
The "small landlords" were still angry and furious.
"Don't say that, you can swallow this breath, I really don't know how to swallow it. This kid became a rich man properly, and in the end he became famous in a fight, and he retreated! What about us? We didn't pay less money, and they almost broke up with the 'big old fart' and the 'old man', and even the face was tucked under the buttocks. Damn, how can it be so cheap!"
"Eight Forks" is still sighing.
"Then what can we do? We have already recognized our heads in front of the 'old ghost', and if we regret it, we will go against the two families! If we don't like it, we will provoke the 'old ghost' to 'turn over'. You, I, tie a piece, can you lift your arms up at the root?"
The "small landlord" was gagged as soon as he landed, and then he couldn't help but lose his momentum.
"Alas, it's not that I'm thinking about one thing now, you say...... Can't he be fake? If it's true......
"Eight Forks" shook his head, he was deep enough in the city, and his words hit the nail on the head.
"It's really 'Red Boy' playing a big job, and you regret it. I also told you, as long as you soften on the spot and don't dare to turn the page, then we will lose! Besides, you don't want to think about it, just this kid's crazy energy that doesn't care about the muzzle of the gun, plus the brain that can play the five of us 'tricks' around, can you still have a good one if you provoke him again? That's really disgusting with your own life!"
The "little landlord" was stunned for a moment, fell into a temporary silence, and then came to his senses and involuntarily muttered a sentence.
"Red boy, red boy, you kid is really capable! I can't hold it down, take it, serve it......"
"Eight Forks" saw that the "small landlord" seemed to have figured it out, so he was relieved from another angle.
"Well, after all, it's a good thing, after all, this kid won't fight with us anymore. And it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, everyone has a great reincarnation, and I believe in retribution. ”
But at this time, the "little landlord" was bald to the end, and he no longer had any ambition.
"Well, don't say anything. From Ming'er, let's take a good look at the brothers, and make up money for others......" (To be continued.) )
