Chapter II. 252. Sow discord
In the face of the scarred man who is unknown to the friend or foe, Shen Gui, who has always adhered to the principle of acting cautiously as the first criterion, did not rush to report his home, but put on the appearance of a shrewd philistine, and 'lightly' came behind the scar man, and then stretched out a hand, from behind the scar man, on the other party's shoulder.
This is a somewhat unsuccessful behavior, but it is a taboo for those who practice martial arts. But any martial arts master who 'has already mastered kung fu' has an extremely keen perception of the situation within a certain range of his body. Because once someone 'grabs the back' first, no matter how capable you are, you can only be caught with your hands.
Therefore, anyone who has practiced martial arts for a few days will never adopt this way of greeting strangers.
Of course, people who have never practiced martial arts will naturally not be cautious.
As early as when Shen Gui approached the scar man, he had already sensed Shen Gui's existence. But the scar man only used a few glances to make a 'harmless' judgment. Judging from this person's dress and behavior, it should not be a Jianghu person who came to seek revenge on himself. So, even with a hand on his shoulder, he didn't react too aggressively, just turned his head naturally and stared at the young 'foot merchant' with a little confusion.
"I'm afraid my brother is not a local, right? How could you bet heavily on Li Zilin? Let me tell you, that Li Zhifu is a good old man with no temper, pointing to him can help you get rich, it's no fun at all! In my opinion, your bag of gold is a waste! ”
Shen Gui deliberately made a look of 'small shrimp and rice lining the old rivers and lakes', and pointed out the country with a little schadenfreude in the face of the scar man's charge. With his young face now, coupled with some Beiyan accents deliberately brought, and a casual style that does not look like a martial arts practitioner at all, in the eyes of the scar man, there are flaws everywhere.
The reason why Shen Gui chose such a face was just to get close to this scarred man under the premise of safety and harmlessness.
"Can you handle it? I am glad to do it! ”
The scar man really took his 'cold-faced killer' look, and he didn't bother to pay attention to Shen Gui, a self-familiar businessman.
"Hey, I'm also kind, everyone is here to make a fortune and have fun, why throw the silver into the river for nothing? Listen to the accent...... Brother should be from Nankang, right? I've been to the South Conna Realm! It's picturesque! ……”
The scarred man with a fierce appearance and a cold expression was really irritable under Shen Gui's chattering nagging, so he stretched out his hands and 'probed gently', pushing Shen Gui directly away three or four steps away:
"I'm warning you, my temper isn't very good! If you follow me again, beware of the master plucking your incense (and killing you)!" ”
"Okay, okay, it's okay to blame my brother for my cold mouth, can't I make amends to my eldest brother? However, my brother also sincerely advises you to change the bet quickly, or make up for the loss with another heavy bet. Judging from the little one, what you should be doing is the dangerous business of licking blood from the knife edge, and the money you earn is all life money, it would be a pity if you just exported it all at once......"
"Oh? Whether what you say is true or not, it is also a treasure bet by the master himself. What does my money have to do with you, whether it is won or lost? ”
Shen Gui's remarks moved the scar man: Don't look at this young man who looks slippery and untrustworthy, but after all, he is also a businessman, and his vision of people is quite accurate. But for no reason to be so entangled with myself, could it be that he already knows my identity? Or is there something else going on?
"Hey...... Of course, there is no reason to be in vain. As the saying goes, 'no profit can't be early', and I just recently got some inside information, and I plan to sell a few more when there is still value, so as to feed a family......"
The scar man was happy when he heard it, don't look at the age of this foot merchant, but he has a thorough understanding of the things in the business of the foot merchant. If you count his remarks, taking the initiative to find someone yourself is barely reasonable.
"So you mean, that news of yours can prove that this Governor Li can't win?"
"Hehe, master, I don't sell this thing tea silk, I really can't let you inspect the goods first! You also know that no matter how important the news, the moment it is exited is worthless...... It's not like I don't believe you! You've just made such a generous move, I'm looking at ......"
The scar man raised his hand to stop Shen Gui's nonsense, took out another ingots of twenty taels of silver from his arms, put it in Shen Gui's hand, and glanced at him with his eyes, which means: Can you say it this time?
Shen Gui took the silver and weighed it, and smiled 'embarrassedly' again. Then he looked at the scar man's face seriously, stretched out another finger, and said in a smooth tone:
"Master, are you fooling me as a 'looper' (layman)? I was watching when you placed your bets. Not to mention more, the news I told you is at least worth a 10% bet! ”
The so-called sky-high asking price and paying back on the spot. Shen Gui is now fifty taels of gold, and if it is folded into silver in the black market, it will cost more than six hundred taels to say the least. Since the scar man was born in Nankang, he naturally looks down on this bit of silver. However, as Shen Gui said, he earns all the 'money for his life', so he can't just rely on these few tricky words to pay a lot of money himself, right?
"Hmm...... The price is a bit interesting. Come on, let's sit down and talk in the tavern behind us......"
In addition to the pawn shop and the 'work area', the west wing has also been transformed into a 'half canteen, half tavern' room. If gamblers play late at night and feel hungry and tired, they can have a little wine and eat here. Of course, there are no northern and southern dishes, nothing more than some rice porridge, wontons, sauce meat and other supper, which can fill your stomach.
It's just past now, and it's the most popular time in the stage. So in this tavern, there is only one old man who is watching the cabinet, and he is napping with his eyes closed. I don't know if he and the old woman who guarded the door, whether the two are husband and wife.
Shen Gui led the scar man and sat in a corner farthest away from the cabinet. As soon as the two of them sat down, Shen Gui attracted the scar man with his eyes:
"Master, there are rules in the industry, I have to see the real thing first!"
Such a greedy and short-sighted appearance can't help but make the scar man despise Shen Gui a little more. However, he still counted out the five hundred taels of silver tickets, threw them directly on the table, and then raised his chin at Shen Gui. He was not afraid that Shen Gui would pick up the silver ticket and run, because as early as when the two met just now, he had already determined that this foot merchant would not practice martial arts at all.
Shen Gui picked up the silver ticket, looked at it carefully several times with joy on his face, and then carefully put it into his arms, then lowered his body, and whispered mysteriously:
"Since you're so cheerful, I don't care about the difference. Let's make a long story short, why does the villain say that you will definitely lose if you bet on Li Zilin? It's all because of another big hit, Li Sanlin, who now has the certainty of winning! ”
Hearing Shen Gui's 'secret', the scar man first breathed a sigh of relief, and then complained that he had spent money indiscriminately! He saw Shen Gui's appearance just now, and when he already knew that Li Le'an was secretly let go by himself; But now the five hundred taels bought turned out to be Li Sanlin's news. Now this news is of no use to me.
"What do I think you know about the earth-shattering secret? That's it! I know this, so don't talk about it. Hurry up and give me back the silver ticket, let's have two of us......
When the scar man said this, he leaned forward slightly, and reached out to Shen Gui's arms, who was sitting opposite...... Unexpectedly, Shen Gui's figure became extremely agile at this time, and he twisted his body with all his might, letting go of the big hand of the scar man:
"Don't, don't, don't! How can you still ask for the money you have given? I haven't said that yet, so how can you be sure you know? However, since I have received your money, I should also give you an explanation. I'm going to tell you about it......"
So, Shen Gui told Scar Man all the results of the investigation in recent days, plus some of his own speculations. There are things about Di Ting, about Yan Day, and about the Li family, it can be said that except for Shen Gui himself and Li Le'an, almost all the things that happened in the dark in the dark are extremely detailed.
Of course, this matter is all the result of speculation for Shen Gui, and it is not certain for the time being; But for the scar man, it's simply worthless. So, the scar man became a little angry, went around the square table and directly grabbed the neck of Shen Gui, who was still chattering, and showed a sneer:
"Since you know that I am from Nankang, then you should naturally know that as far as you just said, none of the news you just said is useful to me! Hurry up and return the master's silver ticket, there is never a reason in this world to be useless. ”
"Don't, don't! And the good and the good! Father...... You let go of me first, the little one can't breathe...... Ahem, I have one of my most valuable secrets, and as a sign of sincerity, I can give it to you...... However, if you still know about this news, I won't have anything new! Moreover, I can't return this money to you, after all, I ......."
"Less nonsense, say!"
"Didn't I tell you just now that the prince of Youbei and Nan Kangdi, plus Li Gao and Li Sanlin of the Li family, are ready to do the business of 'A Hibiscus Ointment' together? But as far as Xiao knows, Yan Tian and Li Gao plan to secretly dump Di Ting, and the two of them plan to go it alone! ”
"Oh? That's kind of interesting, go on......"
"This is still a small meal in a restaurant, I heard the news by chance, I can't guarantee whether it's true or not! At that time, I personally heard a person from the Nankang Business Group say to Li Cai, the housekeeper of Li Sanlin's mansion: We can harvest as much as you produce in a season...... Hehe, that's actually the sentence...... As for whether he wants to dump the truth and listen to it alone, the villain is also guessing...... Hey, hey, let's talk first, the five hundred taels of silver ......"
"The five hundred taels of silver are yours!"
