Final Chapter. 71. A misunderstanding
At the level of countries, the development trend of the overall war situation does not depend solely on the victory or defeat of a certain battle. The end of the country's ruin and family destruction must be made up of many big and small mistakes; In other words, the battles for the destruction of the country, which have been debated endlessly by the soldiers of the past generations, are at best just inducements.
To put it simply, it is a slow and long-term process caused by countless minor illnesses, not "sudden death".
The rules at the table are the opposite, and the emphasis is on seeing the difference on the spot. Rolled his eyes and stared. Now that the lid of the color cup of the Beiyan battle has been lifted, the losers are naturally wailing. For Emperor Tianyou, he not only lost the high hopes of his confidants, but also lost the first-mover advantage that he had been planning for many years; As for Niu San, who blew out of the sky, he exported a foreign debt of more than 100 taels of silver, as well as a piece of dough that had just been picked up.
If someone loses, someone wins, otherwise it would not be a gamble.
The opponent who won Niu San was not the creditor who gambled with him, but the Supreme Gambling House. However, although the back of this gambling house is the clan mansion of the Yan family, they cannot influence the trend of the war in the Huayu Continent; Of course, for any large gambling house, there is no need to cheat and cheat at all! As long as you pump water according to the bureau and be a mediator, you can already be invincible; And the winner of the other side is not the Qin army under the command of Zhou Changfeng. Because Julinghou was assassinated last night, tens of thousands of soldiers of the Chinese army fell asleep all night, which was the best opportunity for the Qin army to cross the river. However, at this time, the Qin army has not yet crossed the Yu River, and even the news that the Northern Yan Army has quietly withdrawn has not yet reached Chang'an City!
Zhou Yuanqing's gambling debts, the people of Beiyan paid them back; But Niu San's gambling debts still have to fall on his aunt Shen Gui.
As the old saying goes, it depends on the owner to beat the dog! The porter Niu San, who owes more than 100 taels of silver, has a small gambling debt; But the porter of the Li Mansion was whipped in public, which is a big deal!
Now that he has nothing to do, Shen Gui followed Niu San, who held his head high, to the Supreme Gambling House to pay off his debts.
"Huh? Isn't this the third master of Niu who has hands and eyes? What's wrong? Scraping together enough money so quickly? Hey, big guy, let's talk about it, the old man deserves to be the first virtuous minister in our Youbei! The master of our family is an official for one term, and the old man is also an official, but this official is different from the official! My master is an official who only knows how to work hard, and it has also affected us subordinates, and our lives are all tight! But the big guy looked at the people of the Li Mansion, and the old man was "gone", but Niu Sanye went back and found something and sold it, and he could immediately sit back on the gambling table! What's the matter, Third Master? Who did you just have lunch with? Did you bring back any inside information for our group of poor buddies? Hahahaha......"
As soon as Niu San stepped into the door of the Supreme Gambling House, there was a sharp noise in the room. This set of words is both positive and depreciating, and even with Niu San and Shen Gui's father-in-law Li Deng, they have a gray face together!
Although he hadn't seen this person yet, the anger in Shen Gui's heart had already risen! According to Shen Gui's heart, although Niu San didn't make any big mistakes, it is not a good habit to gamble and brag, and he should really be scolded; But killing people is not enough, everyone is a friend who often walks around the streets of Fengjing, and each other's masters are officials in the same dynasty and ministers in the same palace, and they don't see anyone who looks up and looks down. Now that you have won other people's money, why do you have to tear their faces?
Besides, this person didn't know that Niu San moved to rescue the soldiers, so it was reasonable to speak ugly; But what has the dispute between your subordinates and the house of the Lord to do with it? Li Xiangye is an official for one term, whether he is loyal or treacherous, whether he is good or evil, how can you be a subordinate who can arbitrarily comment on it?
Shen Gui asked himself if he was not a stingy person, others were happy behind his back, he could accept it; can slander the official reputation of his father-in-law, but he absolutely can't bear it!
Niu San, who stepped into the gambling house, wanted to speak, but felt a chill on his back; Looking back again, he saw that his aunt was covered with frost, so he immediately put away the brewing jokes, hugged his shoulders and waited to see the joke.
"Hey, I said Niu San, did you kid go back to the market for a trip? What's wrong? Bring a big man to support you, I'm afraid of you when I become a grandfather? If you owe money and repay money, it is justified, even if it makes trouble in Your Majesty's Golden Palace, Lao Tzu can stand up! Today in front of the big guys, it's you who let out a happy fart, don't you want to admit that gambling debt, and plan to play tricks with grandpa and me? I also told you, bet that you are not the opponent of the master, and it is even more useless to beat you kid! I don't know you yet? If it weren't for the large number of people, you kid would have pulled his pants a long time ago! Ay! Don't glare at me, it's a gentleman, let's fight alone, kill and lose your life, and send you to the hospital if you are injured! But after all, you are two people, I can't believe you debtor! If you have the ability, you can wait for the master to go back and call a guarantor! In just a quarter of an hour, if I don't come back, you will call my grandson when you see me in the future! What do you think? Do you dare to let me go? ”
Shen Gui was still angry just now, and when he heard this person's words just now, his heart was immediately relieved: just listening to this impassioned but hidden rhetoric, it is obvious that he is also an old fritter who has been rolling on the street for many years, and it is no wonder that Niu San will be planted in his hands!
Regardless of the trend of the Northern Yan war, it was indeed unexpected by everyone; Just listening to the way the other party spoke, I was afraid that he had really run around the rivers and lakes for a few days before he became the head of the lower house.
When the other party saw that he and Niu San stepped into the Supreme Gambling House before and after, he immediately changed his sarcastic tone; Not only is the soft persimmon Niu San kneaded in the words, but even the cruel words released are all bright and hard, dark and soft, mainly to raise the bar and choke the fire, and wait for the opportunity to withdraw. Shen Gui is almost certain that even if he really lets him out to move troops, it will definitely be a meat bun beating a dog, and there will be no return!
The other party is obviously afraid of being beaten, but this statement is extremely exciting! Not only is his face not planted, his tone is not soft, even if he can't avoid this beating, there is still a step to retreat! After all, he can declare to the outside world that he is a "hungry tiger fighting a pack of wolves", although he is still honored!
Shen Gui has not met such an old gangster for a long time; He secretly opened his shirt, tried his best to look like a thug martial artist, and stepped forward:
"Aren't you going it alone? Let's do it! ”
"This brother, today is a matter of me and Niu San! It's not about anyone else! But I won a lot of ill-gotten gains today, and I'll have to find a place to scatter in a while! It's a friend's stay here and don't leave, take me for a while and clean up Niu San's kid, I will use the money I won from the gambling to invite my brother to spend all day drinking! If it's not my friend of Song someone, then you can do it now, if I still stretch out my leg with a punch, it will be considered my Song someone's fault! Why? It's very simple, we don't have a grudge! As the saying goes, there is a debtor and a debtor, and I have suffered a great grievance, and I have to count it on the head of his Niu San! Today you beat me, I'll treat you to another big drink! In this way, you can be regarded as having an account for your old friends; I'm a Song someone, and I can be regarded as making a new friend!! ”
Ooh! This set of rivers and lakes makes him play, which can really be described as perfect! The southeast, northwest, and northwest have all become his Song someone's reason, soft or hard, and it has also become his Song someone's reason to show his face! The so-called Jianghukou does not just refer to the black words of the Spring Festival, like this subordinate surnamed Song, every word in his mouth is a typical Jianghukou!
Take advantage, have face, and be beaten less!
This set of words also made Shen Gui laugh! He shook his head and walked to the opposite side of the surnamed Song, clasped his hands into fists and performed a river and lake salute:
"Brother is from the old family? Report a vine, right? ”
Although the other party was wearing a long shirt, he also followed his example and clasped his hands into fists:
"Brother, I'm afraid of recognizing the wrong person! Under the surname Song! The head of the family is a member of the clan house. ”
"Oh...... It turned out to be Brother Song. I heard that my three brothers owe you a gambling debt of one hundred taels of silver? Is there such a thing? ”
"Exactly! To be exact, it is one hundred and forty-five taels of silver. But since I am so close to my brother, the fraction of forty-five taels will be counted as my inviting my brother to drink! ”
This surname Song is a few years older, not only has experience but also has excellent eyesight! Although these forty-five taels of silver are nothing, after all, the principal is only one hundred taels! Judging from this amount, he has obviously made a lot of concessions and given Shen Gui enough face!
If it is an ordinary person who eats a "difficult meal", since the other party has let it to this step, it is almost the end; It's a pity that Shen Gui is not among them:
"Brother Song is really bold...... You see, here are two hundred taels of Huinan silver tickets, all when I paid off the gambling debts for Niu San and the rest of the scattered silver, it was regarded as I invited everyone to have a lunch. In this way, the bet between the two of you will be settled! But for the sake of face, I have to help my three brothers get it back! If not, he won't be able to be a man on the streets of Fengjing in the future! ”
"Good! Brother, this is a heroic and chivalrous act, enough for friends to be righteous, I Song someone is not wrong! Okay, my holiday with Niu San is not big, and today another brother came forward to mediate, and I Song someone will give you enough face! If nothing else, just to make you a friend! After being punched and kicked by heroes, I Song also has a bright face, and I am not ashamed of anything! ”
After finishing speaking, the man hugged his left head with his right hand, protected his crotch with his left hand, and lay on his side at the door of the gambling house, closing his eyes and shouting loudly:
"Brother Lao, work hard, give me a good soothing life!"
Before the corners of his mouth could rise Shen Gui started to beat people, a young man in the distance suddenly ran to the door with a top door pole and a cigarette, shouting upstairs as he ran:
"Shopkeeper! Gray Master! Come on! Song Ye is going to jump our treasure game! ”
The gamblers on the first floor have already put down the copper plates and broken silver, and they are all gathered here to watch the excitement; And after this kid's shouting, before the misunderstood Song Ye and Shen Gui could speak, this group of poor gamblers blew up the nest with a roar! Those who stepped on the table and climbed through the windows ran out of the front hall on the first floor of the Supreme Casino.
The shopkeeper of the small restaurant opposite, when he saw that the gambling house was in trouble, he immediately smiled happily:
"Da Baozi, hurry up and lift the table and move the stool outside, let's have a big business!"
