Volume 1 Sunrise in the East and Setting in the West Chapter 10 Overlord's Meal
Qin Xiao frowned, but did not step forward.
The Governor's Mansion is indeed responsible for maintaining order in the city, but there are some things that are also turned a blind eye.
Lefang prostitutes and gambling houses are the two favorite programs of business travelers in Guicheng, so there are a lot of music squares and gambling houses in the city.
In fact, in the turtle city, such a place is very well-behaved, entering the door is a guest, as long as you don't violate the rules inside, you will enjoy the most thoughtful service, but once the rules are broken, the inside will definitely not condone.
If there is a fight between the music house and the gambling house, as long as it does not hurt people's lives, let them deal with it as much as possible, and the officials of the Governor's Mansion will not care.
It is also commonplace for someone to make trouble in the gambling house and be beaten out, Qin Xiao has seen a lot of it, and he is not surprised.
"If you dare to make trouble inside without the silver, I don't want to live anymore." A stout man with a cyan belt waved his hand to signal the two big men to stop, spat at the man on the ground, and scolded: "Hurry up, next time if you are still wild in the Golden Hook Gambling House, I will pick your skin." ”
The beaten man got up from the ground, his nose was blue and his face was swollen, he stumbled and threw away more than a dozen paces, turned around and scolded twice at the Golden Hook Gambling House, and saw that the thugs in the gambling house were about to chase after him, so he hurriedly turned around and ran, and in the blink of an eye, there was no one.
The stout man laughed twice and said to a few of his subordinates, "You guys take a good look, I'll go eat something." Without further ado, he turned and walked towards East Street.
Qin Xiao did not hesitate, followed the stout man, turned a street, the man walked into a noodle restaurant, sat down at a table by the wall, and shouted, "A bowl of mutton soup and a few steamed buns." ”
The guy agreed, Qin Xiao also walked into the store, there were a lot of people in the noodle restaurant, there were no empty tables, but he walked directly to the stout man's table and sat down opposite him.
There are not enough tables in the noodle restaurant, and it is common to share tables.
When the stout man saw someone sitting down, he was stunned at first, and when he saw that Qin Xiao was a young man, his face was a little unsightly, and he opened his mouth, but before he could make a sound, Qin Xiao had already smiled and said, "Hey, this is not from the Golden Hook Gambling House..... The ..... Hmm, I'm so excited, I forgot my name for a while......!"
The man was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but say, "You know me?" ”
"I know you, many of my friends also say that you are righteous, and the ruffians and hooligans in Turtle City are respectful when they see you, and they dare not provoke you." Qin Xiao made an effort to think: "What is the name of the uncle, I am so excited.....!" ”
The man's face softened slightly, and he said, "I don't know what you're talking about, I like to sit alone, you go to another table." ”
Qin Xiao didn't agree, turned around and said, "One bowl of beef, two bowls of haggis, by the way, another jar of wine." Only then did he say to the man: "Uncle, I have heard your story, I have always admired you very much, I am lucky to meet you today, I want to invite my uncle to have a glass of wine, you must not refuse." ”
A smile appeared on the corner of the man's lips and said, "You really know me?" What stories have you heard from me? ”
"A lot." Qin Xiao said seriously: "Don't say anything else, just say that in the gambling house, no matter who you are, you dare to make trouble inside, and when you see you, it's really majestic." ”
The man showed a hint of triumph, coughed, and said, "You are young, but you have some knowledge. ”
At this time, the guy had already sent over a jar of wine, set up the wine bowl, Qin Xiao immediately poured wine for the man, and the man saw that Qin Xiao was so attentive, and said suspiciously: "Stinky boy, you are both meat and wine, what are your intentions?" Isn't it going to the gambling house to do chores? ”
Qin Xiao smiled and said, "No, no." Not everyone can enter the Golden Hook Gambling House, I heard that the Wen Dongjia in the gambling house has good gambling skills, looking at Turtle City, there are few people who can compare, how can I be qualified to enter the Golden Hook Gambling House to work. ”
"Wen Dongjia?" The man laughed: "Today's Golden Hook Gambling House is not surnamed Wen." ”
"I know." Qin Xiao said: "Wen Dongjia committed a crime and was put in prison, but I heard that he will come out in half a year." ”
"Come out?" The man snorted coldly: "If you can really come out, then it's hell." Picked up the wine bowl, raised his head and took a big sip, and as soon as he put down the bowl, Qin Xiao immediately said with a smile: "Uncle, I am very well-informed, and in half a year, Wen Dong's family will come out soon." ”
The man said disdainfully: "What if you come out?" The Golden Hook Gambling House has changed people from top to bottom, and the people who followed him at the beginning have long been kicked out, and now the owner of the gambling house is surnamed Qiao ......, I said that you kid can brag, what is well-informed, you haven't inquired about these things in the Golden Hook Gambling House, and you are still talking here. ”
"All changed?" Qin Xiao's heart was slightly shocked.
At this moment, he heard a man's voice behind him: "Girl, wait a minute, you haven't paid for the meal yet, you can't just leave." ”
Qin Xiao turned around and saw a guy in the store chasing him to the door and stopping a girl in a woolen jacket.
Wool jacket is the most common service in Xiling, just after February, the climate of Xiling is still quite cold, there are many people wearing wool jackets on the street, the girl wears a fur hat, a black belt is tied around the waist, although it is the dress of Xiling people, but the face is fair and delicate, the eyebrows are clear, the posture is beautiful.
Qin Xiao only glanced at it, and was a little surprised.
Xiling bitter cold land, the wind and sand are all over the sky, although the native man is strong and strong, even the skin of the daughter's family is also quite rough, under the baptism of wind and sand, the skin color is slightly dark, and even with a hint of bronze, like the girl in front of him so snowy skin, but it is extremely rare.
The girl blinked and said with a hint of surprise, "You recognize me as a girl?" "It's obviously Sekinai's voice.
When Qin Xiao heard this, he was amused in his heart, and secretly thought that although you were wearing a sheepskin jacket and wrapped around your body, you had a beautiful posture, and your walking posture was completely a daughter's house, but anyone with some insight could naturally recognize it at a glance.
The girl laughed. The man stretched out his hand and said, "Promise two pieces of silver." ”
The girl frowned and said, "I went out in a hurry, and I didn't bring any money with me, so I'll have someone send it to you when I turn around." ”
"Send it over?" The man crossed his arms, looked up and down a few times, and said: "Girl, a small business, no credit, how can there be food without food, since you know that you don't bring money, you shouldn't walk into this door." ”
The girl was a little annoyed and said, "Isn't it just two coins of silver, I said that I will send it when I go back, you dodge." Reaching out to push the man, the man did not retreat but advanced, shouting, "If you don't pay for food, you can't get out of this door." Look, everyone, there are people here who want to eat overlord meals, and they are still unreasonable? ”
Many people in the noodle restaurant suddenly looked over.
The girl's cheeks were slightly red, and she was even more annoyed when she was looked at by a group of people, and she bypassed the guy to leave, but the guy took advantage of it, so naturally he would not let it go, and shouted: "I don't have any money to pay for food, so I will work here for two days......!" Before the words fell, I saw that the girl hooked her foot and hooked the guy's ankle, and almost at the same time, her right hand had been pushed on the guy's shoulder, and the action was just right, the guy's shoulder was forced to retreat, but the ankle was hooked, and with an "ouch" sound, he had fallen backwards to the ground.
Qin Xiao saw it in his eyes, thinking that although this girl's movements were simple, she was very skilled, simple and practical, as if she had practiced.
However, the three sects and nine streams of the Turtle City Hidden Dragon Crouching Tiger, this girl has some skills, but it is not uncommon.
The boy fell to the ground, angry, the girl was stunned at first, and soon there was a hint of excitement between her eyebrows, but the guy had already shouted: "Hit someone, beat someone!" ”
Although the noodle shop is not big, there are two or three guys, the owner of the noodle shop has been behind the counter, just saw the guy collecting debts, and did not come, at this time I saw the guy being knocked to the ground, his face changed slightly, rushed over from behind the counter, and said angrily: "The sky is white, you don't pay for dinner, and you hurt people, is there a royal law?" ”
The other two men also dropped their work and rushed over, and one of them had already shouted, "Twist her into the yamen." ”
Some of the guests in the noodle restaurant watched coldly, some whispered, and some laughed: "It is natural to pay for meals, and there are still people in Turtle City who dare to eat overlord meals." ”
The girl swept around, and when she saw that everyone was pointing at her, and the way was blocked by the guys, she was suddenly a little flustered, and her beautiful face suddenly flushed, and she bowed her head slightly and said, "I..... I'm careless, I'll accompany you for money. ”
"If you hurt someone, you naturally have to accompany Yinzi." When the shopkeeper saw the girl showing weakness, he suddenly had confidence: "Say, how much do you want to accompany?" ”
The girl said, "You can say as much as you want, I'll ..... I'll give it all to you. ”
"You haven't even paid for food, where is the money to compensate?" The shopkeeper sneered: "You are from Guanli, right?" I don't care who you are in the Guannei, when you get to Turtle City, I can't help you spread wild here, if you can't get the money, let's go to see the official now. ”
"I'll go and fetch the money, and in half an hour I'll bring it to you." The girl looked at the shopkeeper and said, "I don't have any money on me now." ”
The shopkeeper looked at the girl, raised his hand and pointed to her wrist: "If you want to take the silver, you can also leave this bracelet as collateral, if you take the silver, the bracelet will be returned to you immediately, otherwise it will .....!" ”
Qin Xiao didn't pay much attention to it, and when he heard the shopkeeper say this, he saw that the girl was wearing a table on her wrist, the color was green, and he couldn't tell how much silver the bracelet was worth, but it was much more expensive than a meal.
The girl immediately covered the bracelet with her sleeve and said categorically: "No, the bracelet can't be given to you." ”
"Hehe, you don't keep the bracelet, obviously you want to find an excuse to escape, let you go, and you will never see you again." The shopkeeper said: "Don't say anything, let's go to see the official." Reaching out to pull the girl, the girl took a step back and said angrily, "Don't touch me." ”
"Shopkeeper, don't embarrass her." Seeing that things didn't end well, Qin Xiao stood up, walked over and said with a smile: "Isn't it just a few coins of silver, don't force her, she came from the Guannei, if you treat her like this, the people in the Guannai will think that we are arrogant and domineering in the future." He took a piece of broken silver and handed it over: "I have paid her account, it should be enough, you can take it." ”
The shopkeeper glanced at Qin Xiao, stretched out his hand to take the silver, and said to the girl: "You are lucky, you meet a good person, and today I will not meet you in general." He motioned for the man to go to work, and returned to the back of the counter.
The girl came back to her senses and saw that Qin Xiao was looking at herself with a smile, and hurriedly arched her hand and said, "Thank you, brother!" ”
Seeing that she was nondescript, Qi Ning smiled and said, "You're welcome, when you go out, you will inevitably have difficulties." However, it is natural to pay the bill for dinner, and don't forget to bring money when you go out in the future. Without saying much, he turned around and returned to the table, and saw that the big man in the Golden Hook Gambling House was eating with relish, and before he could sit down, the girl had already followed and said, "Brother Taigao's surname?" I'll go back and get the money now, and you wait here, and in half an hour I'll bring it back to you." ”
