Chapter 215: Into the Tiger's Den (2)
After a few games, Fang Lei had already helped Mr. Ledger win hundreds of taels of silver, which made him overjoyed, thinking that he had really met a nobleman.
At this time, he said, "Old man! As the saying goes, take it when you see it, stop it for the time being! ”
"It's good! The old man settles the arrears first, and then comes back tomorrow night to play! ”
When he spoke, he handed over the thirty taels of silver to the gambler, retrieved the IOU, and Fang Lei walked out of the gambling house, and said to Fang Lei: "As the saying goes, the millennium of favor from people, in order to thank the son for his help, let's go to the nearby tavern to drink two glasses first, it's still early, it's not too late to go back and rest when you're drunk!" ”
"It's good! I'll invite you tonight, sir, and when you win a lot of money, you will invite me again! Fang Lei said.
The bookkeeper hurriedly said, "Where is this?" People say that if you win a drop of water, you will be rewarded by the spring, you helped the old man earn fifty taels of silver tonight, the old man is already grateful, you must obey the old man's arrangement tonight! ”
An old man and a young man walked out of the alley, came to a tavern on the street, found a table to sit in, and the bookkeeper ordered a few snacks, and then you and I started to dry up one by one.
After more than a dozen cups, Fang Lei took advantage of the fact that he was half drunk and asked, "Old man!" Since you are the bookkeeper of the Tongtian Warehouse, you must have a lot of salary, why do you play gambling again? ”
Mr. Bookkeeper said: "The old man and the innkeeper are distant relatives, but he gives a lot of salary, all of which are used to support the family, but people are old, and the sleep time is relatively less, so they go to the gambling house to play, want to earn some money to drink a few cups, drunk and hazy sleep until dawn, comfortable, do not think about always losing more and winning less, this year, has lost more than five hundred taels of silver, to the end of the year, can not fill in this big hole, relatives have no face, I don't know how to be good? ”
Fang Lei said: "This is easy, if I can help you, I can fill in the account in less than half a month, but if I can't find a stable job in this county, I'm afraid I will have to leave this place again and go away!" ”
"Childe's gambling skills are so good! Afraid of what? Sleep in the inn during the day, and go out to gamble at night, so you don't have to worry about food and clothing! What else do you do? The bookkeeper said.
Fang Lei said: "Mr. I don't know, I am destined, only benefit others, not myself, help others gamble, make money to make money, if you gamble by yourself, you will lose to the casino boss on the next trip, and you will not even have a place to live, so you have to find a stable job to do, otherwise you will be hungry!" ”
When Mr. Ledger heard Fang Lei say this, he was in the middle of it and asked, "What kind of work is that son looking for in the county seat?" ”
"Poor boy, that has so much attention? Heavy work! It is okay to carry it on your shoulder, as long as you can eat enough, it doesn't matter if you have less wages! Fang Lei said very seriously, not like a joke.
The bookkeeper asked, "Look at how white and tender you look, like a cream boy, can you have so much strength?" ”
"Sir, don't look at me as Sven, three or two hundred pounds of goods on my shoulders, walk steadily, my face doesn't change and my heart doesn't beat!"
In fact, Fang Lei is not bragging, he has a fairy qi to protect his body, he can carry something weighing four or five hundred pounds to jump into the air, and stand on the ground and carry three or several hundred pounds of things, can it be difficult to defeat him?
When he said this, Mr. Bookkeeper was very happy! said: "This is easy to do, if you are not afraid of hard work, you will be a buddy in my warehouse, take care of food and housing, the monthly salary is five taels of silver, let's go to gamble every night, we can not only help the old man fill in the empty accounts, but also earn some daily money, why not?" ”
"That's a good dare! Working by your side, I promise to help you earn back five hundred taels of silver within half a month! Fang Lei said with certainty.
The bookkeeper said, "As long as you fill up the money you owe, you will make a little trouble in the future, and make some extra money to drink!" ”
The two chatted and drank, and in a blink of an eye it was midnight, Mr. Bookkeeper was obviously happy, drank two more glasses, and was already drunk and dizzy, I don't know what was going on, Fang Lei helped him back to the door of the warehouse, and two guys came out of it and took him back to the room to rest.
Fang Lei returned to the inn and thought happily: As long as he finds his family, he will call the owner of Tan Zhai to destroy this drug trafficking den, transport the drug funds back to the cottage, recruit troops, and develop production.
Early in the morning, Fang Lei came to the warehouse with his bags on his back, and when the bookkeeper registered, he asked, "What's your name?" The old man helps you register and make a book, you are the guy of this warehouse, the old man was responsible for recruiting workers in the past, and this time is no exception! ”
"My name is Fang Sanshi, and I am also from Tongchuan County, but I am from a mountainous village!" Fang Leiyu reports.
In fact, Mr. Bookkeeper was also a little suspicious of his identity, the rough worker had such fair skin, but in order to fill the selfish desires of the five hundred taels of silver, he couldn't control so much, as long as he didn't pose a strict threat to the warehouse, then everything would be fine.
After the registration, he arranged Fang Lei to stay alone in the wing room next door, this is for the convenience of entering and exiting at night, as soon as the luggage was put away, the boss took his men and drove five or six carriages over to load the goods.
The bookkeeper whispered, "Go and help load the car!" You have to be quick with your hands and feet, and you have to be diligent in your work to get the boss's appreciation! ”
This gang of drug trafficking gangs is really rampant enough, first of all, they put boxes of big tobacco on the bottom of the carriage, even the new guys don't shy away from it, Fang Lei pretends not to know what the goods are, and the other guys each carry a box on their shoulders, but he is holding the packing tape and carrying a box in one hand, the boss sees it, and is very happy in his heart, knowing that he has such a hand, he will definitely do martial arts, at least he is a good practitioner, in this Tongchuan County, where bandits are rampant, he will be used at all times.
The boss said to the bookkeeper, "Cousin! You're hiring a good guy, it can't be someone from an unknown origin, right? ”
"Cousin, don't worry! This is introduced by an acquaintance, his identity has been verified, he is innocent, you see his loyal and honest appearance, he will definitely not be a spy of the green forest thief! "Mr. Bookkeeper is busy making guarantees.
The boss said: "You sue him, as long as you are willing to work hard and earn money for me, you will definitely be reused!" ”
"This delivery to Hetang Town, the mountain road is rugged and difficult to walk, especially He'ao, there are often thieves robbing the road, the danger is very high, why not take him to deliver the goods with him, test whether he is loyal to the boss?" The bookkeeper said.
The boss said: "I have this intention, if it is with the thieves, it will definitely be shot, the old man will kill him with a knife, if not, and then reuse, anyway, I look at him, it is much more pleasing to the eye than other guys!" ”
"If it's really a good fellow, my cousin will recruit another right-hand man!"
The boss got an assistant, and he got a gambling master, both of them got their own place, can Fang Lei gain their trust?
