Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Gambling Turmoil
In the next few days, the ring competition gradually became fierce, and powerful warriors stepped into the ring one after another, with old champions stepping down and new champions taking the stage. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
It is precisely because of the fierceness and unpredictability of the competition that people are more enthusiastic about betting in the booths opened by the gambling halls, and the gambling halls have also opened different betting methods in order to attract the crowd to bet, the most direct way is to bet on the victory or defeat of a single game, and then you can also bet on how many games the owner can hold, and even the gambling hall has opened a bet in advance on who can finally win.
Cui Deputy Guancha, who inspected the Jinhong River with Zhao Yishan, couldn't hold back his bet, he was optimistic about Zhang Huishui of the Seven Star Martial Arts Pavilion, bet fifty taels, and bought Zhang Guishui to win in the end, if Zhang Guishui finally won, Cui Deputy Guanchao will get double the money.
Deputy Guan Cha Cui was full of confidence, and said to Zhao Yishan: "The Seven Star Martial Arts Pavilion is on our Yuhuai Street, what is Zhang Shuishui's strength in recent years, I know best, but Deputy Guan Cha Zhao also bet on him to win, I guarantee that you can make money." ”
Zhao Yishan was about to answer, when he suddenly heard a noisy quarrel coming from the No. 33 ring, and he immediately rushed over with Deputy Supervisor Cui and his subordinates.
When Zhao Yishan and Deputy Guan Cui rushed to the No. 33 ring, they saw that there were thousands of people arguing, and they formed two distinct factions in front of the ring.
A group of people shouted: "The fairness of the ring has announced that Wu An has won this competition, then we should win this gamble." ”
Another group of people retorted: "Wu An has abstained, thinking that he lost to Liang Tangzhong in this competition, and now Liang Tangzhong is still the champion of the No. 33 ring, why did you win the gamble? It should be that we won the gamble." ”
The two groups of people insisted on their own words, and they were about to fist and kick each other.
Zhao Yishan and Deputy Guan Cui shouted on the horse: "Give me silence, you will not have results in arguing like this." We are the people of the Yamen of the Inspection Division, don't quarrel first, and when we understand what happened, we will give you a satisfactory answer. ”
When the two sides of the quarrel saw the people from the Yamen, they stopped a little, but they didn't trust Zhao Yishan and Deputy Cui, and someone shouted loudly in the middle of the chaotic crowd: "Why do we believe you, what can you do?"
Zhao Yishan responded: "We can understand what happened in half an hour, can't you all wait for this time?"
After Zhao Yishan finished speaking, he discussed with Deputy Supervisor Cui: "Deputy Supervisor Cui, I will go to the fair office of the ring to understand the situation, and you go to the booth opened by the gambling hall to investigate." Deputy Cui's deputy manager nodded in agreement and took the people to the booth of the gambling hall.
And Zhao Yishan walked to the ring, bowed to the ring, and then said: "I am the deputy manager of Zhao who was sent by the Yuhuai Street steward to maintain the security of the ring match, what happened here that caused the crowd to have a dispute?"
The ring shook his head and said: "Deputy Zhao is poor, the result of this competition is unexpected, no wonder they have a dispute." In this competition, Liang Tangzhong is the champion, Wu An is the challenger, the strength of the two is comparable, and the two have been fighting for an hour without distinguishing the result. ”
When the result was finally divided, Liang Tangzhong went around to Wu An's back and stabbed Wu An's back heart with his sword, Wu An didn't have time to turn around and shoot, and threw the sword from under his ribs, but Liang Tangzhong stopped the long sword when his sword was an inch away from Wu An, but Wu An's long sword was castrated, penetrating Liang Tangzhong's lower abdomen, and Liang Tangzhong sat on the ground dejectedly. ”
"Therefore, I sentenced Wu An to win this competition, but to my surprise, Wu An actually said: 'Liang Tangzhong is better than me in this competition, if he stabs the long sword into my heart, I will definitely die, so I give up the position of the champion, or let Liang Tangzhong be the champion.' With that, he jumped out of the ring and hurried away. ”
Zhao Yishan listened to the fair words of the ring, and after thanking him, he got out of the ring to find Deputy Cui and told him what he knew. ”
Zhao Yishan asked: "Whose gambling house is this, so unreasonable?"
Deputy Guan Cui said: "This is the Song family's gambling hall, and the Song family is used to being domineering in Tianhong City, so they dare to do this." ”
Zhao Yishan said: "It's no wonder that this group of bettors didn't dare to go to the gambling hall for trouble, but they quarreled here." ”
After understanding the situation, Zhao Yishan got on the horse again and said loudly: "It has long been unclear who will win and who will lose in this competition, so this bet should be canceled, and I will take you to the booth of the gambling hall to get back the money you bet." ”
The crowd was quiet for a while, obviously hesitating whether to follow Zhao Yishan and Deputy Manager Cui to ask for money, the money and silver they bet on was small, but they were targeted by the Song family, and something big happened.
Zhao Yishan knew what the crowd was thinking, and said again: "You don't have to be afraid, this time I took you to ask for money, what happened, I will bear it!"
There was a bold man in the crowd, and after thinking about it, he said, "If you want to take us to ask for money, we will follow." ”
Zhao Yishan saw that the crowd was moved, so he rode towards the gambling house stall, but the people who followed Zhao Yishan were only half of the crowd, and the other half were afraid that the power of the Song family would be greater than the temptation of money and silver, so they secretly left.
Zhao Yishan and his entourage came to the gambling hall booth in a big way, and the steward of the stall greeted them with a smile and said with a smile: "The two stewards went to the shelter and didn't know what to do with the villain's service?"
Zhao Yishan opened his mouth and said: "You are the manager of this stall, the purpose of my coming is very simple, the gambling game of Liang Tangzhong and Wu An in the No. 33 ring, you cancel it, and return the money to the person who placed the bet." ”
The steward still said with a smile: "The two managers are difficult to be villains, the villain's business can't withstand such a toss, then Liang Tangzhong and Wu An's competition, there is no winner or loser, tell me how to cancel the gambling game, return the money, if I return the money, the owner will not live to kill me!"
Zhao Yishan knew that this steward was playing sloppy with him, sneered and dismounted, held the steward's hand, and secretly carried the Nine Heavens Fire Gong, this steward was in pain, his face turned red, and he gritted his teeth and did not snort.
Zhao Yishan said: "You are quite tough, but don't go around in circles with me here, if you don't return the money and silver to them today, I told your gambling hall not to open a stall on the bank of the Jinhong River." ”
This steward was finally angered by Zhao Yishan's toughness, and shouted: "You are a small deputy manager of the inspection department, and you dare to take care of the affairs of the Song family, if you dare to report your name, I will return the money and silver to them!"
Zhao Yishan let go of his hand and said, "I'm Zhao Yishan from the inspection department of Yuhuai Street, you can go and tell Master Song." ”
The steward said, "Good, good, good, you are a man." Come on! Give the money back to the people who placed the bets. After he finished saying this, he clasped his hands on his chest and squinted at Zhao Yishan, as if to say: You kid doesn't know the height of the sky, you have offended the Song family in Tianhong City, and you have good fruits to eat.
Seeing this, Zhao Yishan said: "Others are afraid of his Song family, but I, Zhao Yishan, am not afraid, I don't wait for the Song family to come to me for trouble, I will also find the Song family, but there is a cause and effect." ”
The crowd heard Zhao Yishan's heroic words and applauded.
And the people in the Song family's gambling hall didn't look very good.
At this time, Deputy Supervisor Cui pulled Zhao Yishan and persuaded him: "Deputy Supervisor Zhao, I don't know what grievances you have with the Song family, but today's matter, don't offend the Song family too much, the Song family's power in Tianhong City is greater than you think." ”
Zhao Yishan said: "Deputy Cui, I know in my heart that I won't let myself fall into a crisis." ”
When Deputy Manager Cui heard this, he no longer persuaded him, and waited for the people in the gambling hall to return the money to the person who placed the bet.
In this gambling turmoil, Zhao Yishan alone took the risk of retaliation, and the inducement for Zhao Yishan to do so came from the injustices of Li Qingsong and Shi Xiaoying, and also from Zhao Yishan's chivalrous heart after practicing martial arts. Zhao Yishan had to make such a choice out of righteous indignation, Zhao Yishan's choice may be very stupid in the eyes of others, but Zhao Yishan doesn't think so, he thinks that if a person is always cowering, what is the difference between it and the walking dead? To be a man is to stand up to the sky and the earth, and if there is injustice, he will scream.
