67: Negotiation

If you open a map of Bai Yujing and take a closer look, then you can easily find it. The rudder of the Biantan Gang, the headquarters of the Horror Alliance, and the Anfu Casino all happen to form an even equilateral triangle.

If you look at the previous map, then the base camp of the Badou Hall and the Canghai Yueming Building also formed another equilateral triangle with the Anfu Casino.

Two triangles, which do not coincide exactly. But no matter which triangle it is, its center point remains the same, that is, "Dongsan North Street".

This street is actually also a market. When I stepped into this street, I saw that there were 40 or 50 stalls on the left and right sides of the street. Selling pigs, beef and mutton, selling tofu, soy milk, dried tofu, chicken, duck, fish and shrimp, selling steamed buns, pancakes, potstickers, fried buns, sweet cakes, sugarcane, mochi dumplings, and even selling puppets, puppets, spinning tops, kites, rock sugar gourds, and even sharpening knives, haircuts, and face-shaping...... Everything you need.

After all, with the size of Baiyujing, just the east and west markets, plus the three markets in Hongqiao, can not meet the daily needs of millions of citizens. Even if there were various fences to supplement it, it would still not be enough. Therefore, there are many small markets like Dongsan North Street, which are spontaneously formed and officially established unofficially, in Baiyujing.

The Sanhe Building, just on the left side of this street, is a three-story restaurant. At this moment, in front of the gate of the restaurant, there are more than a dozen strong men in black, who are the people of Anfu Casino. Looking in from the door, I saw that all the tables and chairs in the lobby were stacked, not only did there not be a single guest, but even the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper were nowhere to be seen.

Cheng Li, Princess Yongjia, and Huang Xiaoshi dismounted respectively and walked towards the gate of the restaurant. Those black-clothed people straightened their chests and protruded their bellies, and their eyes didn't squint, as if they didn't see Cheng Li and them. Obviously, they had already been told. So Cheng Li and his party also walked into the restaurant proudly.

Cheng Li was not slow or sick, walked in the forefront, and went upstairs. Princess Yongjia fell behind one of his shoulders, and Huang Xiaoshi was at the end. They walked upstairs one after another, and Princess Yongjia and Huang Xiaoshi suddenly had a very special feeling in their hearts. It's as if Cheng Li is in front like this, and they are not afraid of wind and rain. Not afraid of obstacles. Although the world is big, there seems to be nothing that can stop them.

The Sanhe building is not very high. In a matter of moments, the three of them had already walked up to the third floor. So, almost at the same time, they saw a man. A man in a white hat and red robe, with a gentle appearance and a polite manner, holding a long cigarette stick in his hand, was smoking leisurely.

Seeing Cheng Li and others coming up, this person immediately stood up, smiled and saluted Cheng Li, and said, "In Xia Tang Wushen, I have seen the Huang gang leader." Uh, who are these two?"

Huang Xiaoshi took a step forward and said, "This is my Brother Cheng, Cheng Li." This is Mrs. Chai. ”

Tang Wushen glanced deeply at Cheng Li and Princess Yongjia, nodded and said, "I understand." This must be Uncle Long Cheng, and this must be the widow of Duke Yue, Her Royal Highness Princess Yongjia. You may be seated, please be seated. If you have anything, you can sit down and discuss it. ”

Everyone sat down. Cheng Li took the lead and said, "Manager Tang." Wise people don't speak secret words. I came this time to talk to you about the 100,000 taels of silver owed by the little grandfather in the Yue Guo Mansion. ”

Tang Wushen smiled and said: "Kill people to pay for your life, and repay debts." This is a matter of course. Even if the lawsuit is brought to the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven can't insist that we cancel this gambling debt, right? I don't know what Long Chengbo wants to talk about. ”

Cheng Li said: "Of course, the debt should be repaid. But the little grandfather is still underage, and he has no money. Anfu Casino knew that he had no money, but still lent him money to gamble. I'm afraid it's a bit unauthentic, right?"

Tang Wushen said lightly: "Although the little grandfather has no money, the Yue Guo Mansion will be inherited by him sooner or later." Since he insisted on borrowing money, we have no reason to refuse if we open the door for business. As for whether it is authentic or not, we are running a casino, not a private school, and we have no responsibility to teach children what to do and what not to do. To put it mildly, this child's biological father doesn't care about him, can you still expect us to take care of it?"

Cheng Li snorted softly and said, "I don't expect you to discipline you." We will definitely pay the debt. But in the casino, I know very well what tricks such as nine out of thirteen returns, what interest stacks interest, etc. Therefore, we will repay as much as you lend out. Not a penny of interest. ”

Tang Wushen frowned and said, "Uncle Long Cheng, you don't conform to the rules like this. ”

Cheng Li asked rhetorically, "What rules?"

Tang Wushen said in a condensed voice: "Of course it's the rules of the casino." ”

Cheng Li said coldly: "The rules of the casino can control you, but they can't control me." What's more, these rules are unreasonable. ”

Tang Wushen said lightly: "Uncle Long Cheng thinks it's unreasonable, but we have so many mouths up and down in the casino, but we all rely on these rules to eat." So I think this rule couldn't be more reasonable. ”

After a pause, Tang Wushen turned around again, frowned at Huang Xiaoshi, and said, "Gang Leader Huang, Uncle Longcheng's request is a bit too difficult for a strong person, right?

Huang Xiaoshi did not hesitate and said, "No matter what, Brother Cheng is my eldest brother." Whatever he says, whatever choice he makes, I absolutely and unconditionally support it to the end. ”

Tang Wushen's face was a little ugly, and he said in a condensed voice: "Is this what the Huang Gang Leader himself means, or is it the meaning of the whole Biandan Gang?"

Huang Xiaoshi shrugged: "Manager Tang, do you actually think there is a difference?"

Tang Wushen exhaled lightly and said, "But Uncle Long Cheng also killed our people. ”

Cheng Li said lightly: "That's when they were rude to Her Royal Highness the princess first." That alone was enough to make them die ten times. What's more, I've told them to roll, and they still won't go. This is self-defeating, and there is no one else. ”

Tang Wushen sighed: "Uncle Long Cheng is really domineering. It's kind of a lesson below. But Long Chengbo, if you break the rules of the casino for your sake today, as soon as this case is opened, everyone will ask for it to be handled in the future, and in a few days, our casino will have to close its doors. Uncle Long Cheng, you can't just force us all to death, can you?"

Cheng Li smiled: "One thing to say, you guys opened casinos, and you forced others to ruin their families, there must be more than one or two cases." If you really want to be forced to die, you have to say that it is a cycle of cause and effect, and retribution is unpleasant.

But luckily, I don't want to make a big deal out of it. So Mr. Tang, since you have spoken like this, you must already have an idea. Then be refreshed and get the idea out there. ”

Tang Wushen bowed his head and said, "Uncle Long Cheng is really fast-talking. Well, let's make a bet. Let's say you win. The debt of 100,000 taels of silver is drawn on this line. The original IOU will also be taken out and returned to you. But if you lose the bet, then how about asking Long Chengbo to leave this matter alone?"
