Chapter 69: Embarking on a Ship and Going to Sea (Part I)
The fat woman Gu sister-in-law is also a good person, and quickly put together the wine and meat of Chao Chong and others, and cooked the prawns on a plate, pounded the garlic paste and poured it with aged vinegar, and brought it over. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Chao Chong and his group of nine put the two tables together and ate slowly.
After eating half full, Li Kui's eyes began to wander around, seeing a group of people in the back room gambling around him, his heart was itchy, he was greedy for a day during the day, but he could touch his arms, but he was penniless. Since following Chao Chong, Li Kui is no longer short of money, but there is no place to use money on Liangshan, but he often forgets to bring money with him. couldn't help but stretch out his magic hand to Yu Baosi, who was sitting next to him.
Seeing Li Kui's unstable appearance of scratching his ears and cheeks, Ruan Xiaowu reported to Chao Chong: "Big brother, look at Tie Niu, he is unstable, he must be Sichun!" ”
Ruan Xiaoqi peeled the prawns, pinched the white shrimps, and said with garlic paste: "The fifth brother is wrong, there are no cows here, how to think about spring?" I think Tie Niu is kind-hearted, and he wants to help others again! ”
Li Kui was a little embarrassed to be praised, touched his head and said: "My personality is the most kind, I can't see people suffering, there are children falling, there are old people stumbling, there are difficulties at home, there are things that are difficult to do, I will go to help, and everyone in the village praises me as a good boy!" ”
Bao Xu didn't know why, so he patted Li Kui's ass and said: "I can't imagine that Brother Li still has such a kind heart, I might as well Bao Xu!" ”
Zhu Gui is not familiar with Li Kui, he only knows that he is not a good-tempered person, so he smiles and does not speak.
Zhou Tong is usually bullied by Li Kui, and he knows Li Kui's nature, but he doesn't dare to expose it.
Huang Xin and Li Kui are not familiar with each other, but they know that on the battlefield, Li Kui is a character who swept thousands of armies with a three-zhang flagpole, and originally thought that he was a rude and reckless man, but he didn't want to have such a kind heart, and sure enough, people can't be good-looking.
Yu Baosi sat there, also a head taller than Li Kui, and he had to keep his head down when talking to Li Kui, and said, "Brother Li, didn't you say that you wanted to gamble two handfuls when you touched my money bag just now?" How did you become a helper? ”
Ruan Xiaoqi quipped: "Don't you know? Tie Niu is nicknamed the boy of scattered wealth, and he will lose every time he gambles. I think back then, when I first met my eldest brother, all I lost was a pair of pants and a hemp rope tied with pants. ”
Ruan Xiaowu laughed.
Zhou Tong couldn't help but want to laugh, but he was afraid that Li Kui would bully him, so he hurriedly lowered his head and ate meat to cover up.
Bao Xu stayed there with his mouth open, not knowing how to shoot this sycophant.
Huang Xin pursed his lips, he was almost deceived by a reckless man, it seems that it is more reliable to judge people by their appearance!
Li Kui had a good relationship with Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi, but he was not angry, and pretended to be aggrieved and said to Chao Chong: "Boss Chao, you have to help me correct my name!" I win sometimes! This fortune boy, the name of losing every gamble is too ugly. Why don't you lend me a little money and let me save my reputation? ”
Chao Chong said to Zhu Gui: "Give him ten taels!" ”
The main money of Chao Chong and his party was kept by Zhu Gui.
"Huh?" Zhu Gui hesitated a little and said, "Really give?" ”
Chao Chong said: "Give!" ”
Zhu Gui took out an ingot of ten taels of silver and handed it to Li Kui, Li Kui smiled, held the silver in the palm of his hand, shook it in front of everyone, and said: "Look at me Tie Niu to win some money, let me pay the bill for this meal!" ”
Li Kui thought to himself, when he won a lot of money, he could pretend to be arrogant! Of course, Xiao Wu and Xiao Qi's accounts are calculated separately, so let them laugh at me!
Who knew that after less than three rounds, Li Kui ran over in a panic and said: "Boss Chao, ten taels of silver is too big, they can't find it, and then give some scattered silver, I can redeem it!" ”
Zhu Gui shook his head at Chao Chong.
Chao Chong didn't care and said: "Everyone has scattered silver on them, get together and give them to Tie Niu!" After speaking, he first touched a few small pieces of silver from his arms and put them on the table.
Xiao Wu, Xiao Qi, Bao Xu, Zhou Tong, and Zhu Gui also took some broken silver.
Huang Xin spread his hands and said, "I was still doing hard labor a few days ago, but I don't have money to borrow from you." ”
Yu Bao Sidao; "Brother Li, your money bag has been touched by you. You'll have to remember to give me the bag back! ”
As for the silver inside, Yu Baosi no longer reported hope.
Li Kui thanked him, picked up the broken silver in his hand, and ran towards the gambling game.
Zhu Gui said to Chao Chong: "Is this really okay?" ”
Chao Chong raised his glass and said, "Come, have another drink." With us by your side, what's the problem? ”
Everyone raised their glasses and drank together.
But after a while, Li Kui ran over again, crying and saying with a sad face: "This, this, I originally wanted to turn over the original ......"
Chao Chong smiled: "Then do you still have the capital?" ”
Li Kui bowed his head and said, "It's gone!" ”
Chao Chong said to Zhu Gui: "Give him another twenty taels!" ”
Zhu Gui hurriedly persuaded: "We are on this trip, and we don't have much silver to bring......
Chao Chong said: "It's okay! ”
Now Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi are not calm, is Boss Chao helping Li Kui, or is Li Kui rectified, why does it feel so wrong? Hurriedly persuaded.
Chao Chong said: "Everything is expected. ”
Li Kui had already lost his red eye, and when he saw Chao Chong and gave the money again, it was like a person who had fallen into the water saw the rope, hurriedly grabbed it, and ran to the gambling house again, vowing to get it back with interest.
Soon after, a commotion broke out in the gambling house, followed by a fight, and Li Kui ran out with a baggage, and a group of gamblers chased him.
That sister-in-law Gu opened this gambling house, and she was sitting in the bank. Seeing that this black guy actually admitted gambling and refused to admit defeat, and beat his own gamblers, this is okay!
Gu's sister-in-law was fat and tall, but her skills were very flexible, she picked up a bench, blocked Li Kui's way, and said, "The poor ghost who suffered from the plague!" has no ability, loses money, and dares to cheat. Don't you know that my aunt and grandmother are also called mother worms? ”
Li Kui listened to Gu's sister-in-law while holding the burden, and hit his head over.
Gu's sister-in-law smashed the bench on the wheel, the two fought together, and those gamblers surrounded Li Kui.
Ruan Xiaowu and the others got up and wanted to go up to help. Chao Chong stretched out his hand to stop him: "Don't be impatient." This little scene, Tie Niu can handle it himself. ”
Li Kui hugged the burden, but he suffered a little loss at first, and was hurt by Gu's sister-in-law, so he couldn't take care of it, threw away the burden, freed his hands, and raised his fist with a sand bowl to smash it at Gu's sister-in-law.
The more sister-in-law Gu beats, the more frightened she becomes, this black guy is extremely powerful, with thick skin and thick meat, if you don't beat him ten times, you won't be able to stand it if he beats you. Several gamblers were knocked to the ground.
Sister-in-law Gu couldn't resist either, and hurriedly shouted, "Go find the new brother!" ”
A clever one ran to the backyard.
Chao Chong smiled but didn't stop it.
Li Kui had the upper hand, so he was unwilling to give up, and after knocking down a few gamblers, he grabbed Gu's sister-in-law's bench again, and smashed his head and the bench shattered. Sister-in-law Gu fell to the ground with a sigh, and the hairpin and flowers on her head were smashed.
At this time, a big man rushed over from behind, with two weapons in his hand, one long and one short, one thick and one thin, originally came out with a fierce momentum, but when he saw that Gu's sister-in-law was knocked to the ground, and then looked at Chao Chong and others, he hurriedly put away his weapons and arched his hand: "Here is the owner of this shop, surnamed Sun Mingxin." People sent the nickname Lieutenant Chi. My elder brother is Sun Li, a soldier of Dengzhou. I don't know how the insiders offended the heroes? ”
Chao Chong went to the gamblers' houses and took out some dice, threw them on the ground, and smashed them with one foot, revealing the mercury inside.
Chao Chong said to Li Kui: "Ten bets and nine cheats, it has always been like this, and it has nothing to do with luck!" If you don't have good gambling skills, you won't play in the future. ”
Li Kui's face was full of shame.
Chao Chong said to Sun Xin again: "I think, you should give us an explanation!" My brother wanted to play two, but this kind of thing happened, which was really disappointing! ”
Although Sun Xin's elder brother is a soldier and a horse in charge of public security, he can't quench his thirst from far away, and a good man doesn't suffer immediate losses. Sun Xin hurriedly said: "All the heroes are angry, they are all fakes made by a few blinding gangsters, but I don't know." Please get the money back, the money for this meal will be counted on my grandson's head. Rely on your parents at home, rely on friends when you go out, and have multiple friends and multiple roads. Please eat and drink well, let me do my best as a landlord! ”
Chao Chong saw that everyone had eaten about the same amount of food, and he couldn't drink the wine anymore, so he picked up a piece of silver from the ground and threw it to Sun Xindao: "It should be mine, no one can snatch it." I have a lot of money to pay. Leave! ”
Chao Chong didn't want to make a feud with someone as soon as he came to Dengzhou, so he led everyone to find another hotel to live in.
Li Kui lowered his head all the way in shame, not daring to look at people.
Chao Chong said: "Many people think that gambling is just their own business and has nothing to do with others. But when it comes to the end, I still have to go to my friends to raise money everywhere. When someone lends it to you, that's benevolence and trust. But you yourself have foolishly squandered the kindness and trust of your friends. ”
Li Kui's head was lowered even more ruthlessly.
Chao Chong patted Li Kui on the shoulder and said, "Do you know why I keep lending you money?" ”
Li Kui raised his head and shook blankly.
Chao Chong patted his heart and said, "Because my trust in you is unlimited, no matter how much you squander, I will fill it for you." ”
"Boss Chao!" Li Kui's eyes were red, and he almost burst into tears. After listening to Chao Chong's words, Li Kui's mood improved, and after a while, he became refreshed and said, "Boss Chao, lend me some more money!" ”
Chao Chong asked Zhu Gui to give Li Kui some, Li Kui ran out, and after a while, he came back with a few money bags, and gave one to Chao Chong and each of them, and there was a penny in each money bag, and said: "I will make amends to my brothers and give me a penny, which is regarded as interest." When my military salary is paid, I will invite everyone to drink! ”
Ruan Xiaowu went over and beat his chest and said, "If you are so stingy, I will give you a penny of interest, and I will drink a few more bowls of you in the future!" ”
Ruan Xiaoqi happily put the money bag into his arms and said, "It's not bad! The colors are pretty fanciful. ”
Everyone laughed too.
The next day, Zhu Gui led Huang Xin to the city to inlay his teeth. Chao Chong, Ruan Xiaowu, and Ruan Xiaoqi infiltrated the military and Hong Kong troops to investigate. Li Kui, Zhou Tong, Bao Xu, and Yu Baosi waited in the hotel because they looked too much like bad people and were easy to cause trouble.
In the evening, everyone gathered and communicated, and Chao Chong had a rough plan in his mind. Ships to Salmon Island sail once a month, most recently three days later.
The most serious offenders from all over the country will be escorted to Dengzhou Prison first. Then led by Bao Ji, the manager of the Dengzhou prison camp, he went to the military port to board the ship and went to Shamen Island with the supply ships.
The military port is heavily guarded, and it is too difficult to sneak into the ship.
In the end, Chao Chong chose the official camp Baoji as the breakthrough point.
Bao Ji, in his early fifties, greedy for money and lustful, should have lived in the prison camp as a steward, but how could he bear that suffering. Guan Ying is a fat poor, all kinds of filial piety continues, and he has accumulated a lot of wealth over the years, and he is still hiding from his wife outside the city for a room.
Chao Chong's strategy was to kidnap Bao Ji, let Bao Ji lure out nine jailers, and after the killing, Chao Chong and the others changed into jailer clothes.
On the day of boarding, he hijacked Bao Ji, pressed the criminals, and successfully boarded the ship bound for Salmon Island.
