Chapter Ninety-Four: Initiation
In the afternoon, Liang Xing and Yang Qiu ran to Zhang Han's house together.
Zhang Han was on the bed in the room, with the bedding and pillow behind him, and he was reading a book in his hand.
As soon as the two entered the room, Zhang Han found out, looked at the two of them, and asked, "How is it, is that Han Lao Liu activated?" ”
"Uh-huh."
Liang Xingying replied with a smile: "If you really let this guy buy off a person, it's hateful, it's a bad gambler, selling his wife and daughter until he has nothing to sell, he has been in the mine for many years, this time he knows a lot of work because he knows a lot of work, and he participates in a lot of things, and we also rely on him, but it's really a dead dog who can't support the wall, Han Lao Liu only paid fifty taels of silver, and this bastard sold us." ”
Zhang Han said with a smile: "These gamblers are in a hurry and even sell their daughters, what are we." ”
Yang Qiu followed at this time: "My lord, the time is almost up, can you launch it?" ”
Zhang Han closed his eyes at this time and silently calculated the time, Liang Xing and Yang Qiu did not make a sound, and waited quietly on the side.
After a while, Zhang Han opened his eyes and said: "Actually, the time is still a little tight, it's better to take your time and tamp all the links tightly, now this method is still a little rough, even if people don't know it at the time, they must know that we did it later, but ...... Afraid of a bird? ”
Liang Xing grinned and said, "What the proprietor said is that he is afraid of a bird. ”
The current matter is indeed just a trivial matter, it only makes Zhang Han feel troublesome, he stays in the iron yard more to determine the output and a lot of management rules, some things Cai Jiu really can't handle, now that everything is normal in the iron yard, and the trouble of the Han family is solved, he can rest assured that he can go back to Xinpingbao.
He turned sideways, put himself in a comfortable position, picked up a monthly watch sent by Kill Hubao, and began to study it carefully.
……
"Han Lao Liu, Yang Yingming, what are you two doing?"
After dark, Han Lao Liu got a notice and made an appointment with the rotten gambler Yang Yingming, and the two of them did not bring their own belongings, but only put the broken silver they had saved over the past few days on their bodies, and the sneaky thing was to go outside the iron field.
Of course, there are rules in the iron field, Zhang Han and Cai Jiu have been doing it these days, such as not being allowed to leave the iron yard without authorization, not leaving the iron yard without a false note, going out for a clear reason, etc., many rules are not only set by Zhang Han patting his head, but also soliciting the opinions of the miners, and some of the old rules of the iron yard are retained if they look reasonable. In addition to the dart masters brought by Zhang Han and others, they have begun to select some brave and strong miners from the miners in the iron field to act as guards, and the guards of the iron field have recruited more than 30 people.
Han Lao Liu and Yang Yingming had just walked out of the iron field gate, and there was a burst of cheers behind them, and the two turned their heads to see that a thin black man hurried over with a lantern.
Han Lao Liu smiled and said: "Sun Heizi, Lao Yang and I went to the bottom of the mountain to play money, we are not on duty, don't be nosy." ”
These two goods are indeed a pair of bad gamblers, Sun Yao didn't have much doubts, and subconsciously said first: "We can't help the treasure game in the mine, just start and end the game, why bother running down the mountain." ”
Sun Yao and Han Lao Liu said that there is a small town under the mountain, there are several gambling houses in it, but there is no gentry power behind it, they are all the backs and scenery of the third class of officials and six-room scribes in the city, and they all earn the blood and sweat of miners.
Han Lao Liu said: "Article 3 of the iron yard law, you can't make noise when you play money at night, and you can't end the game, and those who are on duty on the second day are not allowed to participate, and the upper limit of gambling capital must not exceed two taels...... Sun Heizi, can I remember it all? ”
Sun Yao said: "It's word for word. ”
"I heard that the proprietor originally wanted to stipulate that it should not exceed one tael, but later many people were anxious to oppose it, so it was changed to no more than two taels. Kuro, let's gamble money just to have fun, money comes and goes casually, this also stipulates that if you exceed how much, you can't lose, what else is there to play with this money? Just played, look at the changes, got, scattered, can't make noise and shout, this money gambling is really breathless......"
Han Lao Liu's excitement was really spitting.
Sun Yao looked disdainful, gambling money is actually a compromise between Zhang Han and the miners, now there are more than 1,000 people in the mine, there are dozens of people coming to sign up every day on the side of the Dongshan Club, and those who are qualified will stay after approval, and there are also some records in the file, where you can call people to come to work by setting up a new furnace and building a house, the salary is very high, and the food and accommodation are good, this is a rare and good place. If you want to talk about playing money, Sun Yao used to gamble, miners can't get a few dollars, life is hard, you can only find some fun by yourself, now the days have a rush, Sun Yao no longer gambles much, but there are still a lot of habits among the miners that are difficult to change, he knows that Zhang Dongzhu has tried his best to limit the miners' gambling money, plus all kinds of restrictions, these days, gambling money is getting less and less, and the iron field also bought a lot of chess, every few days he will invite a gentleman to come to the book, or sing shadow puppet plays, Sun Yao is very content with the days in front of him, I look down on bad gamblers like Han Lao Liu and Yang Yingming in my heart.
"Let's go, let's go......" Sun Yao waved his hand, although Han Lao Liu didn't have a fake note, he knew that he wouldn't be on duty the next day, and it was easy to make up a fake note, there was no need to be too serious, as soon as he waved his hand, the two of them were in a hurry to leave, Sun Yao's heart moved, and shouted: "Stop, Lao Yang, what's the matter with you, you're still sweating profusely this day, and you didn't say a word just now?" ”
"Let's go!"
Han Lao Liu knew that something was wrong, he was not very afraid in his heart, although Yang Yingming bought it as soon as he bought it, his psychological quality was very poor, and this time he really showed his feet.
He pushed Yang Yingming, and the two began to run forward, Sun Yao pulled out the saber on his waist, and it was also bright under the light of the lantern, this knife was newly forged by iron, and the impurities were much less than those of the general Jin Tie, but it was not very good to use it to build a waist knife, but the waist knife made by the good Fujian Iron cost seven or eight taels of silver, which could only be worn by the dart masters, but Sun Yao couldn't get such a good knife.
"Stand, or I will recognize you, but the knife will not recognize you."
In the past, there were often cases of miners stealing things and escaping in various iron yards, and Sun Yao only said that these two bad gamblers stole things from the mine and escaped, and they were about to catch up with them when they shouted.
At this time, there were several hurried footsteps behind him, Sun Yao looked back, the lantern light could not reach far, only saw a few figures rushing towards him, the leader also held a knife in his hand, and rushed over quickly when he was slashed over, Sun Yao had to dodge and dodge, this time the momentum was very urgent, he let go of the vital point, but the arm was slashed, and then the other two took knives and slashed over, at this time Sun Yao found that they were all people in the escort team through the bright light, he scolded and retreated, and the knife in his hand danced quickly, How could he bear that there were three people on the other side, he was hit by two knives in succession, these two knives were heavier, and the long blood cut on Sun Yao's body was opened, and the blood surged, Sun Yao felt that he suddenly had no strength in his body, but he knew that if he fell softly at this time, he would definitely die, so he had to grit his teeth and hold on, and at the most critical moment, someone behind him shouted: "Old five, Lin Guotai, people are here, hurry up!" ”
Lao Wu and Lin Guotai are both dart masters brought by Liang Xing, both are porters who have participated in the battle to suppress bandits, they are very strong, and they usually play with the miners, there is no problem with one person to fight three or five, even if the miners have not practiced martial arts, they are all extremely powerful, and they are also bold, these dart masters can fight more with less, and their skills are very good, as soon as the people outside heard that the dart master was coming, they couldn't care about chasing Sun Yao at the moment, and with a whistle, they ran together in the direction where Han Lao Liu and Yang Yingming fled.
"Sun Heizi, are you okay?"
Seeing the people leaving, Tang Wangzong rushed out with a lantern in the iron field, and he still had a palpitating expression on his face.
"What about people, why don't you chase them?"
Sun Yao was brave, his robe was already wet with blood, he gritted his teeth and endured it without shouting pain, seeing that there was no one behind Tang Wangzong, he was in a hurry at the moment.
"I'll strike the gong now!" Tang Wangzong struck the gong and said, "How can it be so coincidental that there are dart masters here, I just deliberately bluffed them." ”
"Your dog's brain is spinning fast......"
The crisis passed, the gong kept ringing, Sun Yao's heart relaxed, and his body hurt for a while, he knew that he would be able to be treated immediately, the proprietor hired Lang Zhong in the iron yard to treat external injuries, and he could deal with stones and burns immediately, I didn't know how many proprietors of the iron yard had delayed treatment in order to save such a little silver, so the disabled miners didn't know how many, just by this one, Sun Yao felt that his injury was worth it.
After a while, the lights in the iron yard were bright, as long as the people who were not on duty on the stove all ran over, and the black pressure of seven or eight hundred people stood on the ground of the room, and the intersection was tightly blocked, and some people were not allowed to approach, so they simply climbed on the slope of the mountain, hanging the shrubs that were born on the hillside and looked down, but fortunately, at least a hundred and ten lanterns were lit, and these people were not afraid of not being able to see in the dark, and fell down and fell half to death at once.
This is the situation that Zhang Han saw when he rushed over, the water inside and outside the iron yard was impassable, and even the hillside was full of people, and as soon as the black crowd saw him coming, so many pairs of eyes looked at him at once.
"That's ...... thing"
Cai Jiu was dressed in clothes, a little Zhengzhong, but generally calm, he told Zhang Han what happened, a trauma doctor with a boy was bandaging Sun Yao, Sun Yao was also hard, he didn't say a word, and he didn't scream when the wound hurt badly.
"Sun Heizi, right?" Zhang Han also knows Sun Yao's nickname, this person is a good role among the miners, after this incident, he can be promoted to Xinpingbao for training, which can be regarded as a benchmark among the miners.
Sun Yao replied yes and wanted to struggle at the same time, Zhang Han stopped him and said: "I just found out, Han Laoliu and Yang Yingming were plundered by the people sent by the Han family, forget about the people who plundered us, and they still want to kill you, this matter can't be left like this, you can recuperate with peace of mind, and I will take care of the rest of the matter." ”
