15. The Beginning of the Matter - The Eve (Final)
Xu Heng, who had experienced being chased and killed, heard Dong Tiankuo's words, and his first reaction was vigilance.
His eyes were fixed on Dong Tiankuo, and then he asked, "Brother Dong didn't ask me where I came from, so he left me here?" ”
Dong Tiankuo smiled slightly and said to Xu Heng: "If Brother Xu wants to say, he will naturally tell me, so why should I force it." ”
Xu Heng was stunned for a moment, but he also smiled, he felt that he was starting to like the middle-aged man who opened a gambling house in front of him.
"Then why did you keep me?"
"Eye, I don't know if you believe it or not, anyway, I do."
Xu Heng listened to the other party's words, he didn't know why, his heart softened, and then he bowed to Dong Tiankuo and said solemnly: "In Xu Heng, I am willing to serve the owner." ”
Dong Tiankuo laughed, and then walked out of the room.
"Brother Xu, you can live here with peace of mind, I have already taken care of those enemies of yours."
So, from that day on, there was one less Xu Heng who was chased and killed in the Silver Hook Gambling House, and there was one more Xu Heng who was in charge.
Xu Heng picked up the wine glass, drank all the wine in the cup, and then said to Tianbao: "Later, I found out what our boss said that day to help me cook, what it means. I was in a coma at the Silver Hook Gambling House for three days, and during the three days, the enemy also came to me, and they coerced the owner to ask him to hand me over, but the owner took the people from the gambling house and killed them. ”
Xu Heng shook the wine jug on the table, and found that there was no wine, so he wanted to call the tavern to continue drinking, but was stopped by Tianbao and said, "Uncle, don't drink anymore, we will have to play in the gambling house later." ”
Xu Heng looked at Tianbao with confused eyes, then smiled and said, "What kind of gambling house to go back, the gambling house is almost no longer ours, and we will soon have no home." ”
Although Tianbao is young, he understands what Xu Heng means when he says this, since the two people appeared in the gambling house a few days ago, although Xu Heng is still the same as usual, but Tianbao knows that Xu Heng has always disliked those two "outsiders". After all, in the eyes of Xu Heng, who regarded the gambling house as his home, the purpose of those two people appearing in the gambling house was to take away the place where they lived.
"Uncle, you've drunk too much, let's go back to the gambling house."
Xu Heng suddenly became quiet at this time, this quietness made Tianbao on the side a little uncomfortable, so he asked weakly: "Uncle, what's wrong?" ”
"Tianbao, do you remember how I brought you to the Silver Hook Casino?"
"Of course I remember, three years ago, when I was a little beggar, I met Uncle Xu," Tianbao smiled at Uncle Xu, as if he remembered a lot of things back then, "Uncle Xu, you have a good heart, and when you saw that I was pitiful, you brought me back to the gambling house when I was about to starve to death, and then I have who I am today." ”
Xu Heng smiled with satisfaction, what Tianbao didn't know was that Xu Heng saved him at that time, it was completely on a whim, and that day he saw a little man named Hanako, in front of the gambling house, begging from the gamblers who entered and exited the gambling house.
Begging should be a very profound knowledge, and sometimes a correct place to beg can allow the beggar to earn several times more than usual.
Obviously, Tianbao at that time knew this well.
Gamblers who have won money, in a good mood, will give him a reward generously, and gamblers who have just entered the door, in order to ask for good luck, will also give him some reward, the only bad thing is that those gamblers who have lost money, if they avoid it at this time, they will naturally suffer from unjustified disasters.
That day, it may be that Tianbao was unlucky, and bumped into a gambler who also took bad luck in the gambling house, so when Tianbao was in the corner to bear the other party's stormy fist, he was seen by Xu Heng, who came out to breathe, Xu Heng was in a good mood that day, so he taught that person a lesson, and then left Tianbao in the gambling house, so there was another one more in the gambling house, and the young man called Tianbao who followed Xu Heng all day long.
"My life was saved by the owner, right?" Xu Heng asked solemnly.
Tianbao nodded, and also replied solemnly, "Yes." ”
"Then I saved your life."
"Yes."
"In other words, both of our lives were saved by the owner, right?"
Tianbao hesitated for a moment, but felt that what Uncle Xu said in front of him seemed to have some truth, so he still nodded solemnly.
"That ······" Xu Heng came over full of alcohol, and then said to Tianbao, "Uncle can't just watch those two people snatch our home." ”
Then a big wine burp poured out of Xu Heng's mouth and spit onto Tianbao's face.
"That'······ What is Uncle Xu going to do? Tianbao was a little puzzled.
"I'm going to ······" Xu Heng leaned into Tianbao's ear and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "I'm going to send the two of them out of the city." ”
Tianbao was shocked and hurriedly said, "Can the owner agree?" ”
"Silly boy, if you don't say it, if I don't say it, he won't know."
"This ······" Tianbao hesitated.
"What is this, listen to uncle." Xu Heng didn't wait for Tianbao to refuse again, so he shouted loudly, "Little Er, come and settle the bill!" ”
Silver Hook Gambling House, backyard, Meng Runan kept pacing back and forth in his room, as if he was thinking about something.
At this time, the door suddenly remembered that Qi Song's voice came in from outside the door.
"Madame, I'm back."
Meng Runan heard Qi Song's voice, and the stunned look just now was swept away, and hurriedly ran over and opened the door, before Qi Song entered the room, Meng Runan hurriedly asked, "How is it?" Any news? ”
Qi Song was silent, Meng Runan saw Qi Song's appearance, naturally guessed something, his expression suddenly dimmed, and then sighed softly and said, "Why am I so stupid, it's been so many days, how can I still find him." ”
In the past few days, Meng Runan and Qi Song have not stopped looking for Qi Xuan's whereabouts, originally Dong Tiankuo sent someone to help, but since the last assassination, Dong Tiankuo's attitude towards himself has become close, every time he asked Qi Song to go to Dong Tiankuo, Dong Tiankuo just answered, and then handed over the matter to Xu Heng to deal with it with full authority, and Xu Heng was even more concerned about the affairs of Qijiazhuang, every time it was perfunctory, and then Qi Song did not ask Xu Heng for manpower, Just ask the Silver Hook Casino to protect Meng Runan, and just do it yourself to find clues.
Xu Heng was naturally willing to make such a proposal, so he agreed to it.
On this day, Qi Song, as usual, left the Linqing Mansion and walked towards Qijiazhuang alone.
At this time, Qijiazhuang, because of the previous incident, has become a ruin, and the government will send people to investigate a few days ago, but later because it is difficult to find any useful clues, the government rarely sends people over.
