Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Storm is Coming
Late at night, a two-horse carriage drove out of the city lord's mansion.
"Drive!"
The coachman raised his whip and whipped it on the horse's buttocks. The horses were in pain, and they galloped wildly.
The horses were fat and strong, and they were full of strength, pulling the carriage and galloping like a gallop on the empty and spacious avenue.
People who have a certain interest in the City Lord's Mansion can recognize this carriage at a glance as the exclusive car of the City Lord's Mansion's daughter, Qi Yoyo. And sitting in the carriage at this time was Qi Yoyo and her personal maid Dongmei.
"Did you bring any money?" asked the maid with a smile in the carriage.
The maid Dongmei's eyes lit up and asked, "Does Miss want to play a few games?"
Qi Yoyo pursed his lips and smiled, and said: "I finally had the opportunity to go to the boxing arena once, and I have to seize the opportunity to play two, and it is still a once-in-a-lifetime explosive drama." It's a pity that the eldest brother and the second brother are not at home, otherwise it would be nice to call the two of them together. β
"Giggles" The maid giggled, and said, "It's been a long time since I've seen the second son show his majesty in the ring." I still remember last time, just because the second son of the Wei family glanced at Miss you more, he was dragged into the ring by the second son and beaten into a pig's head. After that, the second son of the Wei family saw the young lady like a mouse seeing a cat, and he was afraid in his bones. β
"Giggles, the temper of the second brother has always been so short-tempered. "Qi Yoyo is also happy.
The maid opened the purse containing the money, looked at it, and said, "Miss, it's only more than two hundred taels, is it enough?"
Qi Yoyo nodded and said, "It's enough, just play two casually to have fun, but you can't delay the business." Blind uncle, hurry up, don't miss the explosion. β
"Good. The old man of the one-eyed dragon who was driving the car answered, raised his whip and whipped it at the horse's buttocks three times, and the horse neighed, and galloped forward with all his strength.
......
Wang Tienan's mood was extremely gloomy and irritable.
He thought that this explosive drama was a prank made by some guy who was idle and bored, and he also thought of using this prank to enhance the atmosphere of the boxing ring and ignite passion.
But the result?
The atmosphere was good, but it was not the passion of the audience, but the anger and scolding of the audience, which caused great reputation damage to the boxing arena.
What made Wang Tienan grit his teeth the most was that the boxing stadium was scolding all over the sky, but it was doing a loss-making business. Just now, the chief financial officer came to report that the four boxing matches lost more than 3,000 taels.
More than 3,000 taels is just a small amount for Wang Tienan, but he is extremely angry in his heart, not because he is small-minded, but because he loses money and loses his reputation, no one can stand it.
According to the report of the chief financial officer, although the scolding was all over the world, they could have made a lot of money in the boxing field after these four boxing matches, especially in the third and fourth games, almost everyone bet on the banker to win, and the result was that Zhang Xiaopaw won the two games, and the banker won big.
But there are two people who are very hateful, one person bet 2,000 taels on Zhang Xiaopu, and one person bet 5,000 taels on Zhang Xiaopaw, so that the boxing stadium lost more than 60,000 taels at once, which means that these two people are the key to losing money in the boxing arena.
"Could it be that these two are doing it?" Wang Tienan had to be so suspicious.
Zhu Zijian?
Wang Tienan shook his head, and quickly dispelled his suspicions about Zhu Zijian.
Zhu Zidi is a regular visitor to the boxing ring, and he knows Zhu Zijian. If it was Zhu Zidi's ghost, it would never be possible to bet only 5,000 taels, and at least 50,000 taels would have to start.
Wang Tienan knew that Zhu Zijian's eyes had always been vicious, so it was very likely that he noticed that Zhang Xiaopai's strength was extraordinary, which aroused his gambling addiction, so he bought 5,000 taels of Xiaopaw to win.
Wang Tienan felt that his inference should be inseparable, so he turned his attention to the unfamiliar boy with a broken arm who had bought four wins in a row, and bet on each game without waiting to announce who the defender was.
"Where did the boy with the broken arm come from?"
"Could it be that he and Zhang Xiaopu in the ring are in the same group?"
"One is in charge of fighting, and the other is in charge of betting and winning?"
"Did the people who went to the city gate to investigate when Zhang Xiaoshu entered the city came back?"
Wang Tienan suspected the relationship between Zhou Jianlai and Zhang Xiaopaw, but he had no clue for a while, so he asked if the person who went to check Zhang Xiaopaw's identity had returned.
"Returning to Gongzi, not yet. The subordinate reported back.
"I haven't done a little thing for so long, a bunch of rice buckets. Wang Tie scolded angrily.
"Childe, Dong Zhongshan won. "Someone came to report it.
"Oh. What did he say, how did he lose?" Wang Tienan raised his eyebrows and asked hurriedly.
"Back to Gongzi, he said-he didn't know, and he was punched by Zhang Xiaopu for some reason. However, he said that there are two things that can be determined: first, Zhang Xiaopu's momentum is very suppressive; second, Zhang Xiaopu's strength is extremely great, which is beyond the ability of ordinary people to bear. β
Wang Tienan frowned, he knew Dong Zhongshan's strength best, but he actually said that he lost inexplicably, which means that Zhang Xiaopaw's strength is not trivial, at least at the level of crushing Dong Zhongshan.
"The cultivation of the battle gate realm crushes Dong Zhongshan with strength. Wang Tienan had a headache, and he didn't know who should guard the next game for a while, and the people below had already told him that the young man with a broken arm had bought Zhang Xiaopaw for 20,000 taels to win, and he would not be able to bear it if he won it again with high odds.
"Go and ask Elder Chen to come over. Wang Tienan thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to invite the strongest defender of the Wang family to prevent him from being really beaten by Zhang Xiaopu.
"Yes. The men were ordered to leave.
"Let's go nextβ" Wang Tienan was about to give orders to the next guard, but was interrupted by a voice outside the door.
I only heard the voice outside the door and said with a smile: "Brother Wang, the little brother is here to solve the problem for you." β
As the words fell, the man pushed the door open and walked in.
Wang Tienan saw the appearance of the person who came, politely put on a smiling face, and asked, "I don't know what Wei Sanshao's plan is?"
The person who came was the brother surnamed Wei who made a 100,000-dollar gambling agreement with Zhu Zijian on the glory of the family, Wei knew it.
Wang Tienan knows every son in the North Eight Cities, and naturally he also knows Wei Zizhi.
Wei Zizhi didn't answer immediately, but walked to the window of the room, pointed to Zhang Xiaopu in the ring in the boxing ring below, and said, "Brother Wang, do you know whose fighter that kid is?"
Wang Tienan was shocked when he heard this, he was troubled by the identity of Zhang Xiaopu, he never expected Wei Zizhi to know, and listen to the meaning of his words, this Zhang Xiaozhu seems to be a boxer who raised him, and he came to the boxing gym to find fault, so he hurriedly asked: "Don't hide it from the virtuous brother, my brother is anxious and distressed about this matter." I also hope that the virtuous brother will not hesitate to teach. β
"Hmph" Wei Zizhi snorted coldly: "This son is a boxer trained by Zhu Zijian, and he came to the boxing arena today for your money." β
"Really?" Wang Tienan was surprised, because it was contrary to his inference.
"It's true!" Wei Zizhi patted his chest and reassured, because he had already decided in his heart that Zhang Xiaopaw was the boxer trained by Zhu Zijian, so he was very sure when he said it.
Wang Tienan saw that his words were accurate, and his voice was vibrating, and he immediately believed seven or eight points.
However, he didn't rush to make up his mind, but asked tentatively: "When the virtuous brother entered the door just now, he said that there was a way to solve the problem of being a brother, I don't know what tricks the virtuous brother has?"
"I can ask the brute bear to guard the next fight for the eldest brother. Wei Zizhi lowered his voice.
Wang Tienan's eyes lit up, and he said eagerly: "Is this true?"
"I've already sent someone to find him, but I need Brother Wang to find a way to postpone the start of the next game a little. Wei Zizhi said.
"How long? If it's too long, I'm afraid it won't work. Wang Tienan frowned.
"It doesn't take long, a quarter of an hour is enough. Wei Zi knew.
"I will command it. β
