Chapter 159: All kinds of coincidences
In box No. 6 on the second floor of the Lanxin Theater, Fang Yingqu had no intention of watching the play, his face was gloomy like water, and he was very angry in his heart. There were a few men in black in the box, waiting on the side. A man in black was tied to his knees with a white towel in his mouth, and looked at him in horror with a pleading look.
A woman with an average appearance and a mean face sat next to Fang Yingqu and said viciously: "Husband, why bother so much to deal with this kind of guy who eats inside and out? It's better to sink him and his wife and children directly into the Huangpu River to feed the fish and shrimp, so as not to have to pay for the coffin! ”
Don't look at Fang Yingqu who is suave and famous outside, but in fact, in the face of this wife, he is as well-behaved as a kitten. The reason is actually very simple, he was a poor boy at the beginning, but he just studied for two more days, not to mention being famous in Shanghai, and it was difficult to guarantee even food and clothing. If it weren't for his wife, Wang Ba, who fell in love with him like a mung bean and let him climb the high branches of the Ji family, he would not be able to spend time and drink at any time and be held by people everywhere today.
Today, his wife suddenly led someone to break into the No. 6 box, which scared him half to death, and he thought that his wife was here to catch the adulterer. Fortunately, a few days ago, he cut off contact with the sick little widow for fear of being infected, and he didn't have time to find a new love, otherwise he would be blocked in the box by this, and he would not be able to run away from a meal of flesh and skin.
However, he was a little surprised when he saw the man who was tied up and thrown on the ground. I don't know why this follower who had something to do was tied up and brought here again. It wasn't until his wife explained to him that he understood what was going on.
"It turns out that she has contracted the disease and died, and a daughter who has been wandering for many years has come back to kill herself to avenge her mother!" Fang Yingqu felt very aggrieved, "There are more people on the beach in Shanghai, why me?" I've always heard her say that she has a daughter named Xie Muyun, but I've never seen her. I didn't expect to have the opportunity to meet when I was going to seek revenge, and I don't know if this daughter has her mother's demeanor? ”
If you don't say that this Fang Yingqu is a sven scum, he discarded his mother and let him get sick and die, and when the crisis came, he didn't think about how to deal with it, but he actually thought about other people's daughters in his heart. Sure enough, it's scum to the end, and it's so bad that it goes home.
His wife, apparently knowing her husband's virtues, grabbed him by the ear and twisted it vigorously. "When did you know what happened to you when you were so obsessed with your heart that you didn't know that you were still doing that dirty thought. This guy has already told the curtain call the number of your box, and maybe she'll be the one who will come in the next second. If I hadn't come here with someone today, my mother would have collected your body for you! ”
Looking at the black-clothed men around him, all carrying daggers in his hands, Fang Yingqu felt a little at ease in his heart, and couldn't help but step forward and kick the man on the ground heavily, venting his dissatisfaction in his heart.
"Special mother's two or five boys, eat me and take mine, and actually betray me for a few stinky money. After catching the curtain call and cutting the grass and roots, they must send their family on the road together. ”
The box was quiet again, only the man on the ground was snorting because of the pain, but he was gagged by a towel, and could only make a faint whining sound. Seven or eight people also had no intention of watching the play, staring at the door of the house, holding the dagger in their hands, waiting for someone to push the door open.
In the domestic buildings of China, the house number likes to be marked with Chinese characters such as Tianzi No. 1 and Dizi No. 2. However, in this Western architecture, it is customary to use Arabic numerals to distinguish the number of rooms. When the man in black handed the note with Arabic numerals to Xie Muyun, he didn't think about it that much at all, but just took it for granted that I gave you the number 6. Who knew that from the perspective of the curtain call, what I saw was the number 9. She didn't think about it so much, she just felt that the other party handed it over to me to show me, and the number of the box must be the number. By mistake, she had already walked lightly past the No. 6 box and immediately arrived at the door of the No. 9 box.
Everyone in the box was in different moods, and it was revealed from their faces that the little boss thought that with Yuan Erye's secret Chen Cang, he would definitely win. Wang Yaqiao has absolute trust in Wang Mengxiong, and he is also confident. Yuan Erye and Yu Peiwen looked at each other and smiled, both of them knew that it was about to be time to take medicine, and the first one to come in must be the maid. Jing Dingcheng kept analyzing that side would have more chances of winning, what is the probability of coming in as a man? What are the odds of being female? Even if you lose, do you really agree to all the unreasonable demands of the other party. Only Wang Mengxiong didn't take winning or losing to heart, and still paid attention to the surrounding environment.
In this kind of circular theater, some boxes can actually see other boxes. For example, he noticed a young man in Box 5, who was sitting alone watching a play, but behind him stood two stables, armed with belts, and a pistol and ammunition bag. Even though everyone else was watching the play, the two of them were meticulous, and their eyes kept searching the audience downstairs and the surrounding boxes, looking very vigilant.
"This is probably the son-in-law of a certain chief's family, looking at that Ma Ben's well-trained appearance, it is obvious that his identity is not ordinary, otherwise he would not be so vigilant."
After making this judgment, Wang Mengxiong's eyes moved to the side, and he suddenly saw the tense situation in Box 6.
These people looked at the door as if they were facing a great enemy, but they were similar to the box 9 they were in. However, the box was obviously waiting for a net, and I didn't know who would break in. But here in Box 9, it is purely a gamble. It's just that the hint I got from my godmother Yu Peiwen is that the probability of coming in is very high. But gambling is never a sure thing. Even if it's a man who comes in, it doesn't matter, sometimes absolute strength can crush everything. It's a big deal to return the land you grabbed first, and then grab it back after a few days. Yuan Erye's roots are in Beijing and Tianjin, and he is a passer-by here on the beach, and he will leave one day! ”
Wang Mengxiong, who had made up his mind, no longer paid attention to everything around him, but studied Yang Yuhuan's appearance on the stage with great interest. From the perspective of his later generations, looking at this kind of concubine Niangniang played by a man, there is always a feeling of watching a banshee perform.
"Who said that the Republic of China is closed, I think at this point, our country is obviously ahead of the trend! Pushing up the first year of Datang Tianbao for more than 1,000 years, that is the center of the world, just like the bridge section staged under the stage, every scene is full of fragrance! ”
Wang Mengxiong's mind was spinning with chaotic thoughts here, while Fang Yingqu in Box 6 was nervous and his brain was blank. For he could clearly hear a soft knock on the door of the box, and then the door was gently opened from the outside, and a man dressed as a waiter held a wooden square plate with several hot towels on it.
Several men in black rushed up and forced the waiter, who had been pressed to the ground before he could figure out the situation, with a dagger. The waiter was so frightened that he almost peed his pants, and he didn't dare to move, and said with a crying voice: "Guys, I just want to send a towel and earn some tips." It's not illegal, is it? ”
Fang Yingqu's wife said viciously on the side: "Don't be deceived by her, take off her wig, strip her clothes, and see if she shows her original form?" ”
Several subordinates heard the boss's order and started one after another. The waiter's hair had been cut off a few times, and no wig was found. The clothes on his body are very happy, there is nothing left except underwear, and a white chicken is freshly baked.
"Madam, I'm afraid I'm mistaken, this person is not a woman dressed as a man, it seems that he is really a waiter in the theater!"
The movement in Box 6 temporarily attracted Wang Mengxiong's attention, and when he realized that it was just a farce, he stopped paying attention there. On the contrary, Ma Ben, who was in the No. 5 box next door, heard the movement, one was close to the wall, and the other was standing next to the door with a gun drawn, showing enough vigilance and attention.
Tuk tuk tuk, that side just stopped, and the door of the box where Wang Mengxiong was was knocked softly.
No one in the private room made a sound, because the gambling game stipulates that before the outside people come in, whoever makes a noise will break the rules and automatically lose the game.
The man outside didn't hear any movement except for the faint sound of the opera, thinking that the people in the house were so addicted to watching the play that they didn't have time to pay attention to knocking on the door, so he slowly pulled open a crack in the door, and the figure entered the box in a flash, neat and clean, without a single noise.
The man who came in was wearing a black top hat with a low brim, wearing the clothes of a waiter, holding a bottle of Western medicine in his left hand and a dagger in his right hand. However, after a little inspection, he found that he thought that he had sneaked in and no one was paying attention, so he fled after the assassination. Who knows that in a room of people except for the child who is watching the play, the other people, both men and women, are looking at themselves.
"It's a man who came in, and I won! Second Master Yuan, you have to make the decision for me, and let the Wang Gang Master admit that he lost! ”
When the little boss got carried away, he didn't notice anything strange about this waiter. Anyway, no matter what the waiter was going to do, as long as he was a leader, he would win the gamble.
Wang Yaqiao and Yuan Erye glanced at each other, and at the same time noticed that something was wrong. Because this is Yuan Erye's box, it is still Yuan Erye who comes forward to ask.
"Who are you? With my lady's medicine in your hand and a dagger in your hand, what do you want to do? ”
The strange waiter who came in was Xie Muyun, who was planning to avenge her mother, she had never seen Fang Yingqu, but she had heard her mother describe the other party's appearance. With a thin figure, middle-parted hair, and glasses, he looks like a cultured person. The man in front of him was in line with what his mother had said in every way, and he was immediately convinced that the other party was the target of the trip.
"I'm delivering medicine for my wife, and as for this, of course it's used to take your dog's life!"
The curtain call spoke softly and naturally, moving forward as he spoke. After this passage was finished, with a force under his feet, his whole body flew over, and the dagger in his hand pierced straight into Yuan Erye's neck. There is a lot of blood here, as long as the knife will cause heavy bleeding, with the current medical means, when the doctor comes, the person has already bled to death, and there is no time to treat it.
