Chapter 437: The Tournament Ended in a Stalemate
Seeing the scene in front of them, the sons and brothers from Jinling and the businessmen were happy, they liked to see the jokes of Suzhou people, if it wasn't for the seriousness of this occasion, they would have already cheered and applauded Weng and Sun. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Regional discrimination has no practical significance, and there is no reason to speak of, but it has a long history, Nanjing and Suzhou are located in the south of the Yangtze River, who is more representative? This is an argument that is unlikely to produce results.
Before the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the people of Suzhou once supported Zhang Shicheng and resisted Zhu Yuanzhang, and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Taizu thundered and imposed punitive taxes on Suzhou, and required the heirs to the throne to implement this policy for a long time, but this has nothing to do with the people. The game between the two cities of Nanjing and Suzhou is purely the result of the people of the two places coaxing the seedlings.
Wei Gao, the prefect of Suzhou, wanted to step forward to solve the problem, but when he raised his eyes and saw Lian Daning, he hurriedly came over and said with a smile: "My lord, you should give me a word." ”
Lian Daning looked left and right and said with a smile: "Me? This is not appropriate, let's ask the old master to come forward. ”
Chen Musa refused to step forward, turned to Meng Fanjun and said, "I said brother, it's time for you to get out, these two old guys probably won't give anyone face except you." ”
Meng Fanjun is not stupid, knowing that this is to let him come out and suppress Weng Yanling and Sun Guangshao, isn't this to pull hatred for himself? These two people only have that painting in their eyes now, where is there anyone else? will not buy anyone's account at all, Chen Musa's hand is purely to move the trouble of Dongwu, it sounds like he is praising his high reputation and respectful status, but in fact, he is digging a pit for him to jump.
Meng Fanjun shook his head unhurriedly: "In the matter of the Suzhou realm, there should be Master Wei to come forward with you, but we are all foreigners." ”
"That's it, it's better for Lord Wei to come forward with Zhengjun." Several officials also spoke in unison.
"Then we'll have to bite the bullet." Chen Musa said to Wei Gao with a wry smile.
"Please ask for the gentleman first." Wei Gao bowed politely.
Over there, Weng Yanling and Sun Guangshao were just shouting to leave, and they had a posture that no one could pull back, but no one pulled them at all, but they didn't walk away, they just put on a posture.
They are not stupid, people have already come, how can they leave without benefits, not to mention that if they go like this, the game cannot continue, the responsibility is on them, and they must not be scolded to death later.
"Go, why don't you go, no one is stopping you." Zhou Dingcheng had already seen through their minds and squeezed the right way.
"Second brother, what are you doing here, the two old gentlemen are here to save face for our brothers, how can you talk like that?" Father Zhou reproached.
"Give our brothers face? Big brother, how many taels of silver do you think our face is worth? Let me tell you, they are here for these two paintings, they don't break it first, and then they say it at this time, which is obviously to blackmail us. Zhou Dingcheng sneered.
"I said, Lord Zhou, how can you tell the truth, it's too faceless." Besides, he laughed.
Tang Bohu burst out laughing, now these two old men are also his enemies, they want to buy this painting by force, and this painting is equivalent to taking away Qiu Xiang.
Although Zhou Dingcheng is also one of the competitors, he is currently in Suzhou, and things are always easier to do, if the painting is taken away by these two old men, he will not want to see it again.
Weng and Sun couldn't stand it anymore, so they dropped the sleeves of their robes, turned around and left.
The people in the stands around roughly understood, and they all discussed: These two judges are too inauthentic, they have to force them to buy the paintings they participated in, and they will leave if they are not allowed to buy them, what kind of person is this, businessmen can't be so lacking in morality, right?
Suddenly, there was a tidal wave of protests and scolding, and many people rushed up to stop the two and prevent them from leaving.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Wei Gao hurriedly waved his hand, and transferred some officials, all of whom were holding a quiet black sign in their hands, or holding water and fire sticks in both hands, preparing that whoever showed their heads would be the first to be beaten. Only then did he barely suppress the situation.
"Don't go!"
"If you want to go, you have to decide whether you win or lose before leaving!"
"Otherwise, don't want to get out of Suzhou!"
There were cries of protest from the audience.
The traders of the major casinos are in a hurry. This is an unprecedented big gamble in Suzhou, Hangzhou, Nanjing and many prefectures and counties in Tang Bohu, and has bet hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, if there is no result in the painting, the bets have to be returned to the gamblers, they can't get a penny, this is not the same as killing their parents!
The bettors are also in a hurry. Both bettors felt they had a chance to win, and watched the money fly away.
"I said two old brothers, there is something to discuss, and we will discuss it slowly in the future, and now this matter does not have a result, I'm afraid it will be easy to provoke a civil uprising, right?" Chen Musa came over and smiled.
Weng and Sun were a little scared, they knew that the leaders in the casino had a way in the underworld, these people only recognized silver and did not recognize people, although they were also all three, but they were not willing to easily offend the outlaws.
The bane of all this is the situation! How can this bastard make a whole picture of a demon? Painting demons stimulates the greed in their hearts, leading them to a dilemma; The painting demon made them lose face, and they were stepped on by Zhou Dingcheng, which is unbearable!
However, if you can't bear it, you have to endure it.
They also understand that if they really leave like this, they may not be able to get out of Suzhou, and the people in those major casinos will have to eat them alive.
"Zhengjun, it's not that we deliberately make things difficult, it's that Xiao Zhou, this bastard, speaks too ugly, and he doesn't leave us a foothold at all." Weng Yanling complained.
"Brother Weng, you don't know yet, he's crazy, he's not crazy, it's strange, even if you look at the face of the old folks in Suzhou, you can't pick on it." Chen Musa said with a smile.
"He's a goddamn madman." Sun Guangshao also glanced at Zhou Dingcheng hatefully.
"What's wrong with the madman? Crazy people are better than you profiteers. Zhou Dingcheng replied.
"Look, what did he say, we became profiteers?!" Sun Guangshao was so angry that his beard trembled, and his voice changed.
The two of them entered the industry at the age of fifteen, and after middle age, they took charge of the family business, and they were businessmen all their lives, and they were known for their loyalty and integrity, and no one had ever said that they were profiteers. For connoisseurs, profiteers, this is the most extreme stigma.
In fact, Zhou Dingcheng and these two people have long been familiar with each other, and they usually talk nonsense, and they don't care about what they say, but they can't stand it when they say it in public.
"Crazy words, Brother Sun doesn't have to care."
Chen Musa didn't stop Zhou Dingcheng, but blindly asked these two people not to care, this partiality is too obvious, but these two people can't say it, after all, Zhou Dingcheng's madness is world-famous, and adults and children know it.
"That's it, please ask the two brothers to give me a little face for this local official, and I will have the opportunity to be rewarded in the future!" Wei Gao said again and again, and a layer of white sweat appeared on his body.
This matter has something to do with him, if there is a civil uprising and some people are killed or injured, he, the prefect of Suzhou, will come to an end, and it may not be known whether he will be caught in Kyoto by Tiqi.
It stands to reason that Tang Bohu and as the parties concerned, should come over and say a few good words and soft words to stay, but now they all look at the two judges unpleasantly, Tang Bohu is all focused on this painting, whoever robs him of the painting is his enemy.
Besides, at this time, it is the most relaxed, seeing the reactions of all parties now, it is unlikely that I will lose, but thinking of the price I have paid, it is really too heavy, this kind of stupid thing must not be done in the future, it can't be done, it's not worth it.
He didn't see Zuo Ling, who had been desperately passing his eyes to him, and it was useless to see it, Zuo Ling's anxiety was so anxious that he forgot to take off his veil, and as a result, it took a long time to exert his strength, and he didn't feel it at all.
Zuo Ling was also bent on letting these two people help him, and when he saw that they were leaving, he was also in a hurry, and he just wanted to try his best to keep them. Zuo Ling was completely unaware that these two people were greedy for a while, and completely forgot about her existence, let alone her instructions.
"Miss, he can't see it, don't bother. Isn't he a little, it's only been a few days, and he got another woman, I heard that he was robbing this girl with the surname Tang. This is also too much. Xiao Yahuan pouted on the side.
After they sat down, they heard the discussion in the crowd around them, saying that it was a showdown between the two talents, but in fact, it was to grab Qiu Xiang, who won and who got Qiu Xiang, and the prize of this competition was the Suzhou beauty Qiu Xiang girl.
Zuo Ling also heard it, but she didn't believe it, she didn't judge it in her own heart, but saw the pomegranate and Qiu Xiang laughing and extremely affectionate on the female guest seat, and knew that it had nothing to do with Qiu Xiang, otherwise the vinegar jar of the pomegranate would have been buckled on Qiu Xiang's head a long time ago, and there could be such an intimate relationship?
"Don't pay attention to those gossip, it's all idle tongue chewing." Zuo Ling was also tired of squeezing his eyebrows in the veil, so he simply gave up and sighed.
"But I look like that's it, we have to find a chance to meet him, we can't let him go on so absurdly, he's our uncle, you have to take care of him." Xiao Yahuan said close to Zuo Ling's ear.
"Okay, don't chew your tongue, there's no shadow, say what it does, stop here." Zuo Ling waved his hand and continued to pay attention to the movements on the booth.
"Well, what do you say, count me in on my mouth." Xiao Yahuan's dedicated hot intestines also cooled down, and she was still pouting and unhappy.
At this time, at the booth, Weng Yanling and Sun Guangshao glanced at each other, and then said: "It's okay for us to stay, but these two paintings must be sold to us, and the price is arbitrary." ”
Chen Musa smiled bitterly: "Two, this is a difficult person, change the conditions, anything." ”
"No, that's the condition, it has to be so." Weng Yanling also gritted his teeth, gambling that Chen Musa would not dare to let them go.
Zhou Dingcheng looked at them with disdain, and turned around to admire Tang Bohu and the painting. Shen Boyong also looked helpless, feeling that it was wrong to persuade either side.
For a while, the situation was once again deadlocked.
