Chapter Seventy-Two: The Starling Who Can Gamble
In the rich gambling house under the root of the southern city, there are several kerosene lamps hanging under the beams of the roof, and the dim light reflects the pale faces of the gamblers, as if a good person is covered with a layer of gray tulle. As a result, the eyes staring at the dice were extraordinarily large, as if nothing could stop their determination to win.
In this faded crowd, the brightly dressed Xia Bugs made people can't help but look twice. For example, the big dealer Hongjing pulls a black and thin face, usually very imposing lion nose, and now the two nostrils are wide open, as if the air in this gambling house is not enough.
Hongjing took a deep breath, his nose moved lightly twice, and a pair of triangular eyes once again glanced at Xia Bugs on the table next to him, and thought to himself: "How many have you lost at the Rongzi table? One hundred taels? Two hundred taels? This is to smash the field, hum! Ma Liu went to call someone why hasn't come over yet." ”
Lu Xian looked at the eyes of the eldest brother, pretended to be an ordinary gambler, and looked at the young man, with a white and pure face, two sword eyebrows, a pair of Danfeng eyes, and an indescribable look when he tilted his head to look at people. The young man seemed to see Lu Xian and Hongjing looking at him, Danfeng's eyes narrowed, and his red lips pursed slightly. Lu Xian shuddered involuntarily, and was inexplicably a little scared in his heart, but it was like something hooking his soul, so he couldn't help but look at it again.
At this time, a big black fat man walked up to the brocade-clothed young man, stretched out his big fan-like hand, and patted the young man's shoulder: "Little Ba, I can't see that you still have this ability." ”
Baba Xia, who was called Little Eight, frowned: "Brother Chen, how many times have you said it, call me Starling." The little eight and the little eight have lost their momentum. ”
Chen Peng laughed and shouted loudly: "Banker, Banker! Where did the Banker die?" ”
Hongjing, who was frowning and thinking, blocked his chest in one breath, if he didn't stand up at this time, he wouldn't want to come out in the future.
Chen Peng looked him up and down: "I heard that you are very powerful!" As he spoke, he pushed a rotten gambler next to him, hooked his foot, and the chair under the gambler's ass was hooked by him to his side, Chen Peng sat down with a big grin: "You are so good, come and gamble with my brother." ”
Hongjing walked over without humility or arrogance: "Rely on your parents at home, and rely on your friends when you go out." Since the two masters look down on me, let's make friends. ”
The starling pushed the horse crane in his hand: "Less TM nonsense." As he spoke, he took out a piece of deed paper: "The master will bet on this with you today." ”
Hongjing leaned over and glanced at the deed paper, and his heart sank: "Zhongding Yuehai Restaurant, this is a newly opened restaurant a few days ago, and it is also the territory of their boss Sun Zheng. Hongjing's mind raced, and he smiled awkwardly: "Really, you see..."
Before the words fell, Chen Peng pasted a big ear scraper on his face: "Lao Tzu came to gamble for money, look at the fart, look." ”
Hongjing's face turned red, and he scolded in his heart: "Ma Liu, this grandson, where did he die." Fortunately, a few brothers who were usually on the gambling house patrol hugged him, and Hongjing slapped the table, his eyes blood-red.
The starling didn't seem to see it, and threw the dice in his hand on the table: "Brother Chen, don't smash this gambling house, you will come to play in the future." Can you bet, even if you admit defeat if you don't gamble, hurry up, hurry up!
Hongjing squinted at the dice with angry eyes, and it took a long time to squeeze out a few words from between his teeth: "Go and get the deed paper from the gambling house, and add ten slaps." As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed at Chen Peng.
Ma Liuzheng was running towards the entrance of South Street: "It's all too late, why are there stalls here." Just as he was thinking, he stumbled under his feet, and the man pounced on the stall.
"You're blind!" a sturdy man in his thirties came out of nowhere.
Ma Liu rushed up angrily: "Get out of the way, don't get in the way." As soon as he finished speaking, a flat pole swept his leg with the sound of the wind, and Ma Liu screamed in pain and fell to the ground. Ma Liu is also an old man, no need to ask, this is the way of people today, and he hurriedly rolled to the root of the wall with his head in his hands.
Someone sneered in his ear: "He's a spirit." ”
Ma Liu couldn't see people clearly, only knew that the flat shoulder, the stick crackled and knocked down, and he rolled on the ground in pain, and when he relieved himself, everyone left*. Ma Liu arched on the ground several times, but he didn't stand up, both legs hurt terribly, Ma Liu thought: "If I let Lao Tzu know who did it, I will never spare him." With the ruthlessness of the people who walked the rivers and lakes, they climbed to the door of Sun Zheng's house.
It's just that Sun Zheng is not at home at this time, and the brothers who stayed at home said that they all went to West Street.
In the alley of West Street, in an inconspicuous small gambling house, the dealer foamed at the mouth and said: "I came in and gambled for an hour, betting on everything to win, dice, horse hanging, leaf cards, and Shuanglu have all been played." It's cockfighting, cricket fighting, he doesn't have it, but no matter which one plays, he can win the bet. They also dismantled our organs, and those gamblers were mad when they saw the organs, so they smashed us. It was too chaotic at that time, so they took the opportunity to grab the deed paper. ”
Sun Zheng had a knife face and a centipede-like scar on his face, which made him look a little vicious. Sun Zheng thought to himself: "This matter is evil today, and another gambling house on West Street has also been ended, and this group of people seems to be specially unable to get along with me." This Zhongding Yuehai Restaurant, I also went to collect money a few days ago, the owner is a child, and there is nothing special?"
Just thinking about it, another brother ran over: "Nancheng Gen'er also came over for help, and Hongjing's field was also picked." ”
No matter how calm Sun Zheng was, he also changed color at this time: "Hongjing is a big field there, and there are usually a lot of people." Sun Zheng shook the stick in his hand, and almost squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "Go to a few other secret gambling games in Nancheng to have a look?"
Before they could get to the place, someone came back: "Big brother, several dark shops on our side have all been smashed, and the organs have also been unloaded." ”
Sun Zheng simply went back to his home and called the brothers to discuss. Hongjing's two faces were red, swollen to the point that his triangular eyes turned into a glimmer of sky, and his mouth sizzled and hurt badly, just here, he still refused to shut up and gritted his teeth angrily and said: "The owner of the restaurant, which of you knows." ”
Lu Xian scratched his head: "Brother Hong, why did you forget, the owner is a child, and he came to our gambling house to gamble once." started to win a lot, but later if it wasn't for the eldest brother secretly turning over the dishes underground, we would have lost. I guess this is the time I offended them. ”
Sun Zheng's subordinate Lu Wei hurriedly said: "I also remember the owner, when he spoke, his eyes were shining, as if you were a dice." Sun Zheng frowned and thought, what do you mean: "You look like a dice?"
"Big brother, it's that restaurant that has a very good business, let's go and draw 30% of the silver. The proprietor laughed so kindly that I took my friends to listen to the book a few times, and the shopkeeper confiscated my money. I went there yesterday, and I heard that their host came to take stock on the first and fifteenth days of the new year, but they are not usually there. ”
Sun Zheng took a breath: "It's fourteen today." He dared to smash our field, just in time, we will go to his restaurant tomorrow. ”
Lu Wei hesitated: "Ming'er is a rest day in the government, but I'm afraid that the officials will go there to listen to books." ”
Hongjing slammed his fist on the table: "They must have calculated that we don't dare to go over, ah, sizzle!"
Lu Xian said: "According to me, we can cover our faces, don't say anything, and rush in and smash it." The people of the Terracotta Division can't come over so quickly, everyone move quickly, and we'll run after smashing. ”
Lu Wei nodded and said, "I'll go and gather all the brothers who are not injured, hurry." After the fight, they all scattered into the alley, and when the time came, they would remove the masked cloth, and they would know. ”
Sun Zheng thought for a while and asked, "When does he usually pass the hour?" ”
Lu Wei thought about it for a long time, and then vaguely remembered that he didn't know where he heard an ear: "It's three quarters!
There are also cautious ones, one named Xiao Luzi is thin and tall, and he glanced at Sun Zheng timidly: "Could it be that someone is making it bad? This restaurant is doing a white business, so it always feels wrong to provoke us like this." ”
Lu Wei said: "You don't know, we take 20% more money from them than other stores." ”
Xiao Luzi took a breath and thought, "You guys are too ruthless, people open this restaurant, you dare to take the profits away?" Thinking about it, he felt more and more that Ming'er was a trap.
Sun Zheng nodded: "It's so decided, tomorrow at the end of the day, Hongjing and Lu Wei will take more than a dozen brothers to pretend to eat and sneak into the restaurant." Lu Xian and I are outside, and we should be together inside and outside when the time comes. ”
Early the next morning, Sun Zheng took thirty or forty people to the outside of Zhongding Yuehai Restaurant. Hongjing and Lu Wei led the people inside, and Xiao Er and the shopkeeper hurriedly stopped them kindly: "Yo, a few masters" glanced at Hongjing again, and then said: "This master is so complex, full of red light." ”
Hongjing was ashamed and annoyed and was about to go up and beat the little er, but Lu Wei hurriedly grabbed him: "Don't spoil the eldest brother's business." ”
The shopkeeper pulled away Xiao Er and laughed with him: "A few people, I'm really sorry, the store is full at this time." ”
Hongjing thought to himself, how could the store be full this early in the morning? I couldn't help but look inside in surprise, and sure enough, it was impossible to even share a table. I don't know what's going on today, it seems that a lot of tables have been added, and the lobby is full of people.
Lovells was a regular customer and asked, "What about the private room upstairs, let's go to the private room." ”
The shopkeeper smiled politely: "There is only a small private room left, and it can seat two people, and one more will not work." ”
Hongjing thought for a moment: "I'll go up and take a look." Xiao Er led him up, and Hongjing paid attention to each private room, and sure enough, there were people in each room. There is only one small one left, and it can put four people at most, which is a bit crowded, and it is not neat to stay in it and turn around.
Hongjing frowned: "This room is so small, how can you treat guests." ”
Xiao Er said: "You are lucky, this is the place where our owner takes inventory." Now that he has something to do, he doesn't need this house. ”
Hongjing was stunned for a moment, thinking that he was here to take revenge on this owner today, just to slap this kid a few times before he could relieve his anger, or how to mix in Yanbei in the future. Why is there something so coincidental? Why don't we change the day? Just thinking about it, another junior came over and asked, "Sixi, the owner will come over in a while, have all the things in the plum garden been placed?" ”
The one named Sixi said, "I'm doing it, aren't there any guests here?" ”R1152
