The bald man finally couldn't pull Zhang Xiaotao, and left with his shiny head dejectedly.

Zhang Xiaotao tossed the big money on the ground aside with his feet, pressed his fists, and there was a burst of "crackling": "Is there anything else that has come up?" If no one comes, so-and-so will leave~"

"Is there anyone else?" Zhang Xiaotao shouted again, seeing that no one was talking, and then said: "Okay, if you have fun today, you can be more generous." A hundred big bucks, two people are allowed to come up and pull together. ”

Hearing that two people could go up together, the crowd began to stir again. Although you need to pay a hundred big money, which is ten times higher than the ten big money that one person needs to pay to play, but after all, the success rate of two people pulling together is much higher than that of one person to challenge alone, isn't it?

How many people in history have sacrificed their lives for the seemingly low-hanging fruit success to do things that put their lives on the ground. And yet? Achiever geometry?

Valuing immediate interests rather than calmly analyzing one's own strength has been a common problem of human beings since ancient times.

Sure enough, two middle-aged men who seemed to be strong couldn't resist the temptation after all, threw down a bulging purse, and walked on.

Zhang Xiaotao took off his robe and top, tied it tightly around his waist, spread his legs apart, and squatted slightly. The feet are not in the same place, slightly inward.

stretched out his arms and said in a deep voice: "Come on, a cup of tea can make a certain move for half a minute, and 10,000 yuan is yours." ”

The two of them spitted into their palms, rubbed their hands, and stepped forward to grab Zhang Xiaotao's arm.

Zhang Xiaotao frowned, but did not speak.

The kung fu of a cup of tea is not long, and under the pull of two people, Zhang Xiaotao is as stable as a table clock, and he has not even swayed his upper body.

As soon as the time came, Zhang Xiaotao's arms shook and bounced the two away: "It's time, please be early next time." ”

The two big men looked quite unconvinced, but when they saw that there were many onlookers, they glanced at each other and turned their heads away.

Zhang Xiaotao no longer solicited and encouraged the people watching the excitement, reached out and took out a pocket from his arms, bent down to gather the big money scattered on the ground, and then swept it all into his pocket.

Picked up the purse on the ground, flipped it in his hand, and with a wave of his hand, threw it into the river behind him.

Zhang Xiaotao clenched his fists around: "Everyone, here today, if you have friends who want to get 10,000 yuan, come back tomorrow." Someone has taken his leave! ”

But he did not wait for the crowd to disperse, but put on his robes and walked away briskly along the river.

Lai Cheng patted Mai Tiedan lightly and chased after him in the direction where Zhang Xiaotao left.

……

Because the West City has become a forbidden place for Kyoto officials, even the head of the government mission who is responsible for the security of this place is far away, except for the daily four patrols a day, if you are forced to do so, you rarely come to the West City to hang out.

Over time, the West Market has accumulated a number of market green skins, and these ruffians have formed gangs and factions, relying on the exploitation of the West Market Tavern Qinglou to collect the so-called capital to protect the city. With money, he went to win over more ruffians, and the cycle continued, with more and more people, and his power gradually grew.

In less than two years, three market gangs rose in a small West Market: Luohe Gang, Xishuitang, and Wanhuamen.

Wanhuamen is the most powerful, and the most manpowered, basically ninety percent of the Qinglou in the West City is in the hands of Wanhuamen, and most of the strong men watching the field outside the Qinglou are the gangsters of Wanhuamen.

Xishuitang is the master of seventy percent of the restaurants in the West Market, as well as all the wine supply in the West Market, although Wanhuamen is the strongest, but in order not to be cut off from drinking, it has to give Xishuitang some face.

The Luohe Gang seems to be the weakest, but it has a close relationship with the boat gang in Beishi, controlling all the restaurants and Qinglou in the northernmost part of the West Market, as well as a small wharf on a tributary of Luoshui in the north of the West Market, all kinds of items purchased from other places, but everything that needs to be transported by water to go ashore must be transported to the West City through the Luohe Gang.

Because officials rarely come to the West Market, it has become the world of the three major gangs, from the opening of a new tavern to the small work and begging in the West Market, all of which do not need to be approved by the three gangs.

Zhang Xiaotao has just come to Luoyang, where do he know these many doorways. was forced to pay too much debt by the old bustard of the Qinglou, and in desperation, he set up a gambling game in Qianqianqiao privately.

This will break the rules of the three gangs in the West Market. If just one person can open an altar in the West Market, where is the face of the three gangs? What will be the three gangs in the West Market in the future?

Qianqianqiao belongs to the territory of the Luohe Gang, and when they saw that someone was setting up a gamble, the gang reported it to the gang leader Jiang Nanshan as soon as possible.

Jiang Nanshan is over 40 years old this year, and he has been eating on the boat gang on the Yellow River since he was a child, and now he has been mixing rivers and lakes for more than 30 years.

It is precisely because of this that when the eastern capital was newly built, Jiang Nanshan felt that this was an opportunity, and found an opportunity to divide and build this Luohe Gang, after two or three years of operation, it can be regarded as a small achievement, and he has become a famous person on Luoyang City Road.

Jiang Nanshan has always been known for being cautious, and this time he heard that the helpers reported that someone was gambling on his own territory, so he did not send the helpers to drive away the lesson at the first time, but found two relatively clever men to touch the details of the people.

The two subordinates used the purse filled with stones as a bet to try their skills, but the two of them went up together and failed to pull each other a bit, which made Jiang Nanshan, who heard the return, even more bottomless.

Jiang Nanshan is clear about the kung fu of these two subordinates, although the martial arts are average, but after all, they are from the ship's gang and transport workers, and their strength is not small, and two or three ordinary people are not their opponents.

Now the two of them can't pull each other together, which shows that the other party not only has kung fu, but also is not an ordinary Jianghu person, maybe he may even be a strongman on the green forest road.

A strongman on the road who is not weak in kung fu makes a bet on his own turf? There are only two possibilities.

First, this person passed through the Eastern Capital, encountered difficulties, and exhausted his entanglement, so he set up gambling to raise money. It's okay if this is the case, it's a big deal to accumulate a good karma and send him some entanglement.

The second is that someone in Luoyang City wants to deal with him, so he deliberately finds a strongman on the road to set up a game, and when he goes to find trouble, the other party will take the opportunity to eradicate himself.

This second situation is the most urgent and the most dangerous.

Luoyang, the eastern capital, is a place where dragons and tigers are located, and any big man wants to move himself, as long as he moves his fingers slightly, I am afraid that he will be in a catastrophe.

But after thinking about it, Jiang Nanshan didn't think about which immortal he had offended.

Since you can't think of it, it's better to meet the person in person and see what the situation is.
