Two days later, in the evening, the Chicken Coop Harbor Casino. Heaven's Voice'.『 ⒉

"Mr. John, this has made you lose again, you already owe us five hundred taels of silver, when are you going to pay it back?"

When John slapped the table with a look of annoyance and threw the two Western flower cards in his hand onto the table, a strong man with five big and three thick led a few gangster-looking young men to his side, and said with a smile.

"Don't worry, I'll go back and get you the money!" John's face changed slightly, then he got up and said, gesturing to leave.

"Wait!"

Seeing this, the stout man stretched out his hand to block John's way, stared at him with slanted eyes, and said, "It stands to reason that you should be allowed to go back and get the money, but you are not a local so you can't leave the casino, if you want to take the money, someone will send it." ”

"You're wrong, right, how can there be such a reason in the world?"

Hearing this, John's eyes suddenly flashed a look of panic, and then his face sank deliberately, and he asked at the thick man, "Let me ask you, will you tell others where to put the money?" ”

"If it's someone else, it's just that, but if you say something you shouldn't say, I don't think you look like you have five hundred taels of silver."

The stout man was unmoved, looked John up and down, then coldly stretched out his hand and pointed to the ground, and said in a loud voice, "Therefore, if you don't take out five hundred taels of silver today, don't think of going out of this door!" ”

Hearing this, the young men who followed the stout man immediately walked over and surrounded John in the middle, their fists clenched so loudly that they clicked.

"You...... What do you want to do? John was taken aback, his face was a little pale, and he subconsciously stepped back, but he had no way to retreat because of the table behind him.

Seeing this, the people at the scene stopped their movements and looked over, waiting with great interest for John to repay the money, and they did not believe that John could come up with five hundred taels of silver.

To tell the truth, John has been arrogant in the past two days in Chicken Coop Harbor, and his attitude towards the locals is very arrogant, and he looks down on the people in Chicken Coop Harbor at all, which has made the local people very dissatisfied with this, so everyone wants to see John make a fool of himself.

"According to the rules of the casino, if you can't get the money now, we have to charge some interest first, and then wait for you to send money, and collect a little interest a day until there is no interest to collect, and then people will die!"

The stout man came to John, pulled out a sharp dagger from his waist, and asked in a gloomy manner as he played with it, "Say, what are you going to give Lao Tzu as interest?" ”

"I ...... I'm Colonel Joseph's man, Colonel Joseph is a friend of your Boss Shi, you can't treat me like this! ”

John couldn't help but shudder at the cold light on the dagger, but he knew that the people who opened the casino were a group of ruthless barbarians, so he said to the thick man with a pale face, "If you Boss Shi knew that you treated me like this, he would definitely not let you go." ”

"To tell you the truth, Lao Tzu implements the rules set by the tiger master, today we have money to talk to, if there is no money, Lao Tzu has to do things according to the rules!"

When the stout man saw that John was using Joseph and Shi Hu to suppress him, he sneered and shouted to the young man next to him, "Hold him down to Lao Tzu." ”

When several young people heard this, they immediately rushed up and pressed John to the gambling table, John struggled desperately but to no avail, where was he the opponent of those young and strong young men.

"It is natural to repay debts, even Colonel Joseph has to admit this reason when he comes, since you can't pay back and don't want to choose, then Lao Tzu will help you choose."

The stout man walked over and took out a dagger and gestured in front of John a few times, then grabbed one of John's ears, and said with a cruel smile, "In this way, Lao Tzu first wants you to use one ear as a snack, anyway, you have a lot of bits and pieces, enough for Lao Tzu to drink wine for several days." ”

As he spoke, the stout man stretched out the dagger in his hand to John's ear and made a gesture of cutting off his ear.

"Help, help!" When John saw this, his face turned bloodless with fright, but he knew that these barbarians could do everything, so he screamed in fright, and immediately urinated in the crotch of his pants.

"Haha......"

Seeing John's embarrassed appearance, the people present pointed to John's wet crotch and laughed, but they didn't expect John, who was usually commanding, to be such a timid and fearful bear.

"Wait!"

Seeing that the stout man's dagger had fallen on John's ear, John could already feel the slightest chill coming from the dagger, and when he was feeling desperate, a voice suddenly rang out.

"I'm sure he'll be able to pay back the five hundred taels of silver."

When John heard this, he hurriedly looked over, and saw a man in his thirties walking over quickly, handing a small brocade box in his hand to the stout man, "This is a cat's eye gem from Persia, five hundred taels is more than enough." ”

"Mr. John, you have no debts now, do you want to take some money from the counter to turn over the book, maybe your luck has come back and you can kill all sides."

Seeing this, the stout man took the brocade box, opened it and looked at it, waved his hand to the young men who controlled John, signaled to let go of him, and asked with a smile, changing his previous fierceness.

"Humph!"

John snorted coldly when he heard this, he was shocked where he dared to borrow money from the casino now, he was fooled by a smiling and very kind thick man who borrowed a lot of money, but in a blink of an eye, the guy turned his face, he experienced what turning his face is better than turning a book.

The stout man ignored John's indifference, smiled, and led his men away, giving the man the bill for John's loan shark before leaving.

"I wonder what this brother is called?" John stabilized his mind and walked up quickly to the man and asked.

"In Xia Zhangcheng." The man smiled slightly when he heard this, then bowed back, and then stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please, "Mr. John, this is not the place to talk, let's change places." ”

"Please." John didn't want to stay in this demonic place anymore, so he made a gesture of invitation to Zhang Cheng, and then walked away with Zhang Cheng quickly.

"Why is Sir interested in this fox and tiger guy?"

At this time, in a room on the third floor of the casino, Li Hongyu and Boss Shi of the casino stood in front of the window and watched Zhang Cheng and John leave.

Since Li Hongyu folded last time so that Boss Shi won the "shocking gamble", he has become friends with Boss Shi, and from him, Boss Shi's gambling skills have improved a lot.

This also makes Boss Shi more admired Li Hongyu, the reason why Li Hongyu can kill all sides in the Western flower card game is completely based on technology, that is, counting cards and observing words and colors, with these two points Li Hongyu can often guess the other party's cards, Boss Shi has benefited a lot from this, and he is secretly glad that Li Hongyu has no malice towards the casino, otherwise Li Hongyu would have won.

Today's encounter with John is obviously a game set up by Li Hongyu and Boss Shi, except for John, all the people involved in gambling are Boss Shi's people, and John does not have Li Hongyu's skills, so he is naturally a failure, and then owes the casino usury.

To be honest, Boss Shi looked down on a person like John who nodded to Hongmaoyi and looked like a servile, so he was quite puzzled by Li Hongyu for this kind of person.

"Those red-haired people must have come to us for a good reason, I want to get to the bottom of them, this John may know something."

Li Hongyu smiled slightly, and replied in an orderly manner, it was naturally impossible for him to tell Boss Shi that his move was to find out the troop allocation and time of the Dutch's invasion of Penghu, so that he could notify the inspection department of Penghu in advance to deal with it.

"These red-haired people have always been greedy and cunning, and when they arrived in Nanyang, they first gained the trust of the locals, and then occupied it with their sharp firearms."

Boss Shi couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this, and said helplessly, "Nanyang is a vassal state of our Ming Dynasty, but the imperial court has turned a blind eye to this, and sooner or later those Hongmaoyi will come to invade the Ming Dynasty." ”

"Yes, the imperial court is a little complacent, and it is still immersed in the dream of the heavenly kingdom."

Li Hongyu bowed slightly, his expression became a little solemn, if the people of insight in the Ming Dynasty can see and face up to the rapid development of Western countries over the years, then why will they be bullied by Western powers in the future?

"Sir, those Hongmaoyi sea ships are really powerful, each ship is equipped with dozens of cannons, can the officers and soldiers hold Penghu?"

Boss Shi sighed when he heard this, and then remembered something, so he asked Li Hongyu, he had done business in Nanyang before, and naturally saw the warships and firearms of Westerners, and the power and flexibility of Western-powered three-masted warships in naval warfare were much higher than those of Daming's warships.

"The enemy army is attacking from afar, and even if it can occupy Penghu, it will not be able to hold it."

Li Hongyu pondered for a moment, smiled and said to Boss Shi, "In the final analysis, Penghu is too close to Inner 6, and the number of Hongmaoyi is limited, and there is no logistics supply, so they can't hold on to Penghu." ”

"These red-haired people are too self-conscious, no matter how much Daming says it, they are also the overlords of the East, they dare to touch the tiger's buttocks, just wait to be cleaned up."

Boss Shi felt that Li Hongyu was reasonable, and couldn't help but snort coldly and said, it can be seen that he also has a lot of hostility towards those Hongmaoyi, after all, he has been to Nanyang and witnessed the colonization of Hongmaoyi in the local area, so how can he have a good impression of them?

Li Hongyu couldn't help but show a smile on the corner of his mouth when he heard this, from Boss Shi's words and deeds, he could feel that Boss Shi's heart was still towards Daming, after all, Daming was the hometown of these pirates and armed maritime merchants, so how could he hope to be harassed by these alien races?

This is a good thing for the Ming Dynasty, if the pirates and armed maritime merchants in Xiaoliuqiu can be appeased, then it will not only pacify the maritime troubles and sea smuggling along the coast of the Ming Dynasty for many years, but also an important maritime force.

Compared to the soldiers of the Naval Division, those pirates and armed maritime merchants were experienced in many battles, had a wealth of experience in naval warfare, and were often more fierce when fighting.
