In the gladiatorial arena, in the columnar cage, two tall and strong figures are fighting, and the fight is difficult to solve, each with its own advantages, and it is impossible to distinguish the winner for a while. In the process of fighting, www.biquge.info pen %fun %pavilion, either fists and feet were opposed, or scuffled together, and fell to the ground. The dirt on the ground then adhered to the sweat and stuck to the two of them, leaving them covered in mud, unrecognizable and stained, and their unkempt hair obscured their true faces.

Judging from the skeletons of the two, as well as the color and hairstyle of their hair, they are vaguely distinguishable that they are not Asians, not from the Qing court.

In a certain box, Li Lianying stood there respectfully, and the governor Na Yancheng sat upright, looking very impatient, listening to Li Lianying's narration.

"My lord, this gladiatorial arena can not only watch the fight of the people below, but before the duel begins, you can also make bets on which side wins. Moreover, the following fights are divided into literary and martial arts, and the two types of competitions are different, and the remuneration is different, and the rewards are also different. ”

Na Yancheng was stunned for a moment, a bright light appeared in his eyes, he was a little curious, and subconsciously asked again and again: "Wen Da?" Martial arts? What is bunka and martial arts? How? Can fights be divided into civil and martial arts? ”

"My lord, that's right. The so-called literary fight is to point to the end, without hurting people's lives, on this basis, no matter how you fight, until the winner is decided; Martial arts is that the two sides sign a life and death document, when fighting, each has a destiny, not only to divide the winner and loser, but also to divide life and death, until one person dies, the fight is over, and one side wins. ”

In contrast, the scenes of martial arts are more bloody and intense, and they can ignite the atmosphere of the gladiatorial arena even more, making the crowd screaming and crazy. Therefore, the remuneration of the former is much less, and it is only a few hundred taels per game. If the game is not exciting enough to satisfy the onlookers, the two will be dozens of taels each; The latter kind of competition is much more lucrative, after a game, the living side is at least 1,000 taels, and there is also a profit share after the gambling game, the proportion is as high as 40%. ”

Na Yancheng is an aggressive person in his bones, and it is his nature to be ruthless and brave, and when he heard this, he suddenly had a good impression of this Paramount gladiatorial arena, and his eyes were full of blazing light. Li Lianying's next words made him even more excited and excited.

"Our gladiatorial arena here is available on loan to provide a platform for members. As long as you make a reservation in advance, or when we arrange fewer fights, the members' subordinates can also compete with each other, and they can also choose between civil and martial arts. ”

"Of course, if we use the arena, we will have to pay the land fee for our Paramount Stadium, and we will also share the final profit of the gambling game. Not much, only 30%. ”

Occupying an important position as a high-ranking official and a military general, Na Yancheng is not concerned about how to earn silver taels in the gladiatorial arena, but how to have fun, without the intrigue of officialdom, just a fight, or watch others fight.

I don't know what Yancheng was thinking, when Li Lianying stopped speaking respectfully, there was a knock on the door of the box, a thumping sound, a cautious word came, and there was a tsunami-like roar from the mountains outside, cheering for the gladiators.

"My lord, the little one is a guy from Paramount, your silver taels have been exchanged, can you come in?"

It seemed that he could think of things, but Na Yancheng didn't hear this voice. Li Lianying's sneaky eyes rolled, looked at Na Yancheng, walked silently to the door of the box, and slowly opened the door.

Immediately, a small servant came into view, holding a tray with both hands, in which were placed a dozen thick silver tickets, mostly in denominations of 1,000 taels, and a small number of silver tickets in units of tens of taels, 100 taels and 10,000 taels.

At the same time, the moment Li Lianying opened the door, there were deafening shouts and screams that entered, and wave after wave overwhelmed it, making Na Yancheng, who had lost his mind, instantly turn his mind, his eyes passed through the two, and he looked at the two people who were fighting in the center of the gladiatorial arena with great excitement.

After receiving the silver ticket, after the little girl entered the box, when Li Lianying was about to close the door, she was stopped by Li Lianying.

"Stop, don't close the door, you get up, don't block my view!"

Seeing that the governor was immersed behind him, with a look of relish, Li Lianying knew that Na Yancheng liked this gladiatorial arena very much, liked the bloody scenes of the fight very much, and liked to stimulate such a bite.

All of a sudden, Li Lianying's mind became active, secretly playing some kind of wishful thinking, and there was a faint hint of a wicked smile.

In just a moment, Na Yancheng's face, which was originally excited, suddenly changed, exuding an aura of doubt, frowning slightly, and asking without any emotional fluctuations in his voice: "Lian Ying, those two people in the gladiatorial arena are not from my Qing Dynasty, right?" ”

Although he was asking, the quiet words were undeniable, Li Lianying chuckled in her heart, and suddenly had a bad feeling, but she still said honestly: "Your Excellency the Governor is wise, the two people below are not the people of my Great Qing Dynasty, but the foreigners who fell into trouble along the Pearl River, and they came for a generous reward after the fight. ”

At the beginning, Na Yancheng was still very unhappy, and when he was about to blame, when he heard the subsequent words, the two people below were actually engaged in martial arts, and his slightly frowning brows were relaxed, and he did not want to pursue it anymore, and said in surprise: "Oh, it turned out that it was a martial arts fight." In this case, I will no longer pursue your crime of contacting foreigners privately, anyway, the more these foreigners die, the better, and I will have to spend money on relief and send them back to China. ”

"Lian Ying, it's done well, hold more competitions like this in the future, and let these foreigners eat dogs!"

Li Lianying's nervous mood instantly relaxed, and she breathed a sigh of relief, secretly afraid. Then, he trotted two steps, came to Na Yancheng's side, presented his hands to him, and said respectfully: "My lord, this is the money you won tonight, congratulations!" ”

Na Yancheng smiled slightly, nodded approvingly, and did not make any movements, the attendant on his side stepped forward, took the tray, put it on the coffee table beside Na Yancheng, took a step back, and stood back in place.

Looking at the tray, Na Yancheng casually fiddled with the silver ticket inside, his eyes that were originally slightly expectant shrank sharply, his chest secretly rose and fell, and he was surprised inexplicably, he didn't expect that to his expectations, the amount of silver tickets was as high as more than two million taels.

No one doesn't like money, not to mention the early Jiaqing period, when corrupt officials and corrupt officials were rampant?

Li Lianying retreated with amusement and walked to Governor Zhao Shanqing's box. As soon as the door was closed, the entourage of Na Yancheng just now stepped forward again, took out a note from his sleeve, and said respectfully: "My lord, this is the list given to me by the shopkeeper of Paramount, let the little one pass it on to you, I hope you can take a look." ”

Na Yancheng was in a very good mood, and while fiddling with the silver ticket, he said lightly: "Take it, show me, who are those people tonight, and they are so generous?" ”

Ignoring the silver ticket, he took the note, slowly unfolded it, his eyes flashed, he browsed quickly, and muttered to himself: "Those who honor me are some officials, and there are so many silver taels, presumably that old guy in Yiergetu has made a lot of money this time, and it is good to manage a group of businessmen, and the way to get money is more than that of us officials..." )
