Chapter 1390: Supporting Darts
Dongmen Street in Beijing, the bluestone road stretches out straight, a magnificent mansion is located in the middle of Dongmen Street, in front of the door left and right two stone altars, each erects a flagpole two zhang high, the top of the pole flutters the flag, the flag on the right is embroidered with a round of red chaoyang, although the sky has darkened, but the lantern at the head of the door is still shining on the round of sunrise red like blood, and the flag on the left is embroidered with the four words of "Rising Sun Dart Bureau", silver hook and iron stroke, domineering without losing restraint.
The door of the house is covered with copper nails the size of teacups, glittering, and the plaque at the door reads "Rising Sun Dart Game" in four large gold lacquer characters.
The imperial city was besieged, and the Rising Sun Dart Bureau was like ordinary people, closing the gate tightly, and never opened the gate for a whole day to receive business, but at this time, it was impossible for anyone to come to support the dart.
Among the four major dart games in Beijing, the Rising Sun Dart Bureau is the strongest, and even many people know that Ding Yitu, the chief dart head of the Rising Sun Table, has a good relationship with Dou Kui, the head of the Rising Sun Table.
Ding Yitu used to be a general of the Qinhuai Legion, but he violated military law and was expelled from the Qinhuai Legion.
Among the four major dart bureaus, the Rising Sun Dart Bureau opened the latest, and the business of each line was almost monopolized by the other three major dart bureaus, and the bulk business could not be accepted, and the Rising Sun Dart Bureau could only take over the small business and make a living, but later I didn't know what means Ding Yitu used, and actually went through the door of Dou Kui, during the Qinhuai War, he helped the household department to escort grain and grass to the front line, and for a time the Rising Sun Dart Bureau became famous, not only the business was like a tide, but also directly monopolized the business of the northern line.
It's not that the imperial court didn't have officers and soldiers to protect the grain, but at that time, the Rising Sun Dart Bureau took the initiative to participate in the grain protection task and did not ask for fees.
After the Rising Sun Dart Bureau was developed, the household department even often handed over the messenger who escorted the tax silver to Ding Yitu, so in just a few years, the Rising Sun Dart Bureau has become the strongest dart game among the four major dart games.
Ding Yitu sits in the capital of the Rising Sun Dart Bureau, there are hundreds of people up and down the dart bureau, in addition to some of the brave men who came out of the army, there are also good hands on the rivers and lakes to run over, and in the past two years, there is almost no need for Ding Yitu to dart in person.
Soldiers and horses into the city, the Rising Sun Dart Bureau thought that there could be no business today, but after dark, the door of the Dart Bureau was knocked open, a richly dressed middle-aged man with two entourages came to the Dart Bureau, claiming to invite the Rising Sun Dart Bureau to protect the bodyguard, according to the rules of the Dart Bureau, there are guests to the door, naturally please go to the living room with tea first, after sitting, the tea comes up, the deputy head of the Rising Sun Dart Bureau Bai Li came to the hall, arched his hand and smiled: "Contemptible Sun Dart Bureau Bai Li, dare to ask Your Excellency Honorable Name?" As he spoke, he had already looked at the other party carefully.
There are guests in the dart game, please enter the living room, it seems to be a way of hospitality, but there is a doorway in the middle, which is actually used to observe the identity of the visitor.
The people in the dart bureau ushered in the send-off, the ability to observe words and colors is very good, from the other party's clothing and behavior, you can roughly judge the status of the other party, if it is an ordinary customer, you can find a dart head at will, if there is some weight, it will let the vice president dart head come forward, and the real powerful role is Ding Yitu himself, but now there are very few people who can really make Ding Yitu come forward, and it is not very common for people to let Bai leave the horse.
This middle-aged man is in his forties, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, very burly, but his skin is dark and rough, not like a pampered person, but his clothes are very luxurious, and this person walks with a lot of momentum, and he doesn't look like an ordinary person at first glance.
Originally, he came out to receive him as Bai Li, and it was also given to the other party, but the man was holding a teacup, glanced at Bai Li, and asked, "Is Mr. Ding's dart head there?" ”
"...... this?" Bai Li said with a smile: "There are still some things to deal with in the head of the dart, if your Excellency wants to support the dart, Bai can call the shots." ”
"Find Mr. Ding's dart." The middle-aged man said: "I have to talk to Mr. Ding on this trip." ”
Bai Li frowned, but still smiled and said, "Bai Mou said, Your Excellency's dart, I can call the shots." ”
"You can't be the master." The middle-aged man said politely: "Your qualifications are not enough, this dart is too important, and Mr. Ding must come to talk about it in person." ”
The dart board eats the food of the rivers and lakes, and gives face, and the other party's attitude is not good, Bai Li is a little annoyed, but he still reluctantly smiles: "The darts received by the Rising Sun Dart Bureau are not one thousand but eight hundred, and for us, every dart is very important." Although you tell us what you want us to do, Bai will do what you ask us to do, and there will be no difference. ”
As soon as his words fell, he heard a "choking" sound, and the middle-aged man actually smashed the teacup on the ground, and the good teacup suddenly shattered to the ground.
The strength of the Rising Sun Dart Bureau is strong, and many dignitaries have not been able to walk through the dart for many dignitaries in these years, but no one has ever dared to drop something in the dart game.
Seeing the dart master rushing in, Bai Li raised his hand to signal everyone not to act rashly, held his temperament, and stared at the middle-aged man: "If Your Excellency is a dart, you can say now that if you are here to make trouble, the Rising Sun Dart Game is not a vegetarian." ”
"Are you deaf?" The middle-aged man's eyes were cold, and he looked at Bai Li and said, "I'm looking for Ding Yitu, didn't you hear?" ”
"Please!" Bai Li raised his hand and made a gesture to see off the guest.
The middle-aged man had no intention of leaving, leaned back in his chair, and sneered: "Is the Rising Sun Dart Game a dart?" Since Lao Tzu came to the door today, you have to take this dart, and you have to take it if you don't take it! ”
Bai Li clenched his fists, his eyes were like knives, he snorted coldly, and said, "If you really came here to find fault, you won't open your eyes to see what kind of place this is." He said in a deep voice: "Come on, send them out!" ”
Several dart masters did not hesitate anymore, rushed forward, and one of them reached out to pull the middle-aged man up from the chair, and before he touched the middle-aged man, he heard a cold shout: "What are you doing?" But it was an entourage of the middle-aged man who came out, and the hand was already on the shoulder of the dart master, just a pull, and he didn't see how hard he worked, but the dart master was rubbing back a few steps, and the others saw this, knowing that the comer was not good, "choking", someone had already pulled out the knife.
The middle-aged man sighed: "The Rising Sun Dart Bureau is famous, but I don't want to be famous, I came to the door to support the dart, you actually drew a knife to face each other, why, do you really want to see blood?" ”
Bai Li was about to speak, but he heard a voice say coldly: "Stop!" Everyone followed the sound and saw a person wearing a purple robe turning out from behind, with a grim expression, but it was Ding Yitu, the chief dart head of the Rising Sun Dart Bureau.
Seeing Ding Yitu appear, all the dart masters didn't dare to move, Ding Yitu just made a look, everyone looked at each other, and they all retreated.
Ding Yitu looked at the middle-aged man, showed a slight smile, and arched his hand: "Contemptible Ding Yitu, dare to ask Your Excellency's name?" ”
"Mr. Ding's dart head is so big." The middle-aged man laughed, but he didn't mean to get up, "Today, there is a dart to be entrusted to Mr. Ding, except for Mr. Ding's dart, no one else can take it." ”
Ding Yitu smiled and said, "It's easy to say." Sitting down opposite the middle-aged man, he asked with a smile: "I don't know where Your Excellency is going on this trip and when will it start?" ”
"Go to Xiangyang." The middle-aged man said: "Mr. Ding, I don't know how many people in your dart bureau can dart right now?" ”
"As long as it's in the game, you can shoot a dart." Ding Yitu said: "In addition to Ding and the white dart, there are eight dart heads, dozens of executioners, if you feel that there are not enough people, I can also gather people here, just ask your excellency how many people do you need for this dart?" ”
"The more people, the better." Ding Yitu took out a small brocade box from his arms and put it on the case at hand, "This is the goods of the dart!" ”
Bai Li glanced at it and sneered: "Your Excellency, we sent an executioner, which is enough to deliver it smoothly." ”
"It's not big, but it's too important." The middle-aged man said: "What I mean is to invite all the people available under the Rising Sun Dart Bureau to escort the bodyguard together." ”
Bai Li stared at the middle-aged man: "The bodyguard is okay, but do you know that if you want to use so many people, this dart is ......!" ”
"Don't worry." The middle-aged man said with a smile: "As long as this dart is delivered smoothly, the profit of the dart is enough for you not to take on other businesses for a year, and you can get forty or fifty thousand taels of silver .....!" ”
Bai Li was stunned, but Ding Yitu was calm, and said with a smile: "You can have forty or fifty thousand taels of silver, Your Excellency's goods are indeed very valuable, and it is natural to send more people to escort them." I've arranged it here, and you'll make it clear and the time of delivery, and I'll be able to issue a dart order to you. ”
"That's very good." The middle-aged man said: "Then Mr. Ding will let your people prepare, at the latest an hour later, we will set off, this dart will be personally escorted by Mr. Ding, naturally it will be a success." ”
Bai Li was slightly surprised: "Leave tonight?" Still..... The head of the dart personally guards the bodyguard? ”
"Not bad." The middle-aged man nodded and said, "This cargo can't be delayed, it needs to be set off immediately, and the three of us will go with you." Take out the silver ticket: "I heard that the dart board darts, often charge 20% of the dart profit, according to the 50,000 taels of dart profit, you need to take out 10,000 taels first, here is just 10,000 taels of silver tickets, and the rest will be paid immediately after the delivery." ”
Ding Yitu shook his head with a smile and said: "I can't leave tonight, and Ding will not personally escort this dart, Ding will arrange for Mr. Bai to lead the team, and he will not be able to leave until tomorrow at the earliest." ”
The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "I can't wait, I have to leave tonight, and I will leave immediately in an hour." ”
Bai Li sneered: "Your Excellency, don't you know that all the gates of the capital have been blocked today, and it is impossible to go out tonight, and it is simply whimsical that you want to go out of the city tonight." ”
"Others can't get out, but the Rising Sun Dart Game can." The middle-aged man said with a smile: "I heard that the Rising Sun Dart Bureau has great powers, and he is good friends with many officials in the DPRK and China, and the city where others can't get out of the city is really nothing to the Rising Sun Dart Bureau, otherwise why would I spend a lot of money to find you?" ”
