Chapter 3: The Battle of Meng Liang
The gentlemen in the old Beiping City, not to mention that they are all well-informed, but there are also many masters who have seen big scenes after passing by!
In the early years of the revolutionary party, bombs exploded all over the world with a bang in Dashilar, shop signboards were shaken to the ground, and the window panes of the four mirrors of Ming tile were shattered into glass ballasts the size of bean particles. But this did not delay a group of Liba hugging at the alley next to Dashilar to do the work, and not to delay the boss of the dim sum shop next to him carefully put the hemp rope on the dim sum bun into a four-happy flowering live button, and then said to the guests with a kind heart: "You want two catties of pea yellow, you take it!" ”
Every gentleman doesn't change his face and his heart doesn't beat, as if he has nothing to do. At most, there is a broken chatter: "Just this movement, maybe it can't catch up with the dry thunder in the year of Guangxu, I heard that the roof tiles of the palace Da Nei Taihe Hall were blown up by eighteen pieces, and the Empress Dowager Cixi Lafayette dropped the azure jade porcelain tea bowl in his hand!" ”
But this thing in the cockfighting arena today is really a bit of a boundless evil, right?
A thing that looked like a plague chicken, stunned by the fact that the fighting that had been serving for two years was so frightened that it ran out of the field, and inquired forward for a hundred years, but I am afraid that no one in the Great Qing Kingdom has ever seen this kind of evil behavior, right?
Could it be ...... This old, skinny plague chicken is really what the sturdy man said, what...... Fried neck phoenix?
The big guys were stunned, and the sturdy man had already hugged the old thin back in his arms. While unhurriedly arranging the feathers for the old thin rooster, the sturdy man shouted to the dealer in the cockfighting arena who had not yet come to his senses: "The rules of cockfighting, if you play outside the field, you will lose!" According to this calculation, the two oceans on the table are mine! That, you might as well put it on your table, right?! ”
Calling a sturdy man such a scathing squeeze, the dealer in the cockfighting arena finally came to his senses. With a look of disbelief, he grabbed the spotted fighting that was curled under his crotch and didn't move to take a closer look, and the dealer in the cockfighting arena couldn't help but exclaim: "This ...... What the is this called? I haven't finished a single shot, so it's cowardly? The plague chicken in your kid's hand can't be a herb irrigation, right? ”
As soon as the words came out, the dealer in the cockfighting arena shook his head and denied his speculation: "I don't dare to say that I understand all the flowers in the cockfighting arena, but I can also know that I am not far from ten!" The method of teasing the grass and irrigating the medicine, at most, is to make the cockfight more ferocious and fierce, so it can't make such a scene? ”
Hehe laughed strangely, and the sturdy man grabbed the two oceans on the table and threw them into his black cloth jacket: "I told you a long time ago, this baby in our hands is called a fried neck phoenix, and no bird dares to get close!" This is the luck of today's master, he just got this fried neck phoenix! Even if it is the opening of Caitou today, within ten days and half a month, the young master will be able to save a set of courtyard houses in Xisi Hutong by relying on this fried neck phoenix! ”
As he spoke, the sturdy man didn't stop, and carefully put the old thin back into the coop, looking like he was ready to go home.
In the crowd of onlookers, there was immediately a troublemaker who opened his throat and shouted: "Hey...... Do you understand the rules? How can you pick a game to win or lose in three rounds, where can you accept it when you see it? Are you to gather ears of wheat in your own field? Scoop up half a bowl and go home to grind bread dumplings? ”
Hearing such a shout, not only the crowd of onlookers immediately resounded with the sound of Ying He, but even the dealer in the cockfighting arena who had not thought much about the taste opened his voice and called: "This ...... This gentleman, you stay a step! The rules set by the old generation, picking a scene to fight cocks and dogs and playing crickets, then you have to win or lose in three rounds! Brother, I don't have any of them in this game, but I really have a few good cockfights, let's play the next one? ”
When the words fell, several green skins watching the field had steadily blocked the exit of the cockfighting arena surrounded by bamboo strips, and two of them raised their clothes with eyebrows, revealing a small piece inserted in the leather belt, which was scary!
Glancing at the onlookers with a blank face, the sturdy man was a little at a loss and said, "Do you still have to fight?" This fried neck phoenix is a precious thing, if it weren't for the fear that I wouldn't have the money to buy the southern goods waiting for my family, how could I not let this fried neck phoenix end up here for two oceans? ”
It seems that because he is eager to save face, or maybe he really can't swallow this inexplicable loser, the dealer in the cockfighting arena glared suddenly, pulled out a bulging money bag from his waist and threw it on the Taiping table where the bet was placed: "Although the grasshopper is small, it is also meaty, this lord really don't look down on me, the old Guanyuan cockfighting field!" Let's talk nonsense on the side, let's open an open handicap in this game, and all the old and young masters in the field can bet! You win one to three, I win one to one in this game, I will lose as much as I bet! You have to have the courage to bet on your toes, and if I win, I will really dare to compensate you for a thigh! ”
The applause burst out from the crowd of onlookers again!
The gentlemen who mix the rivers and lakes and walk the scene, what they pay attention to is that they lose money and lose their lives without losing the scene!
In the early two years, the two gangs of gangsters at the mouth of the pearl market collected people's silver, the axe chopped the arm under the south city wall, cut the thigh with a guillotine, touched the copper coin in the oil pot, rolled back and forth on the nail board, and was covered with blood and wounds.
In the end, he played evilly, and a gangster who drew a dead lot cut the half catty of his crotch in front of people, and one of the gangsters in the other gang did even better, throwing his half-year-old biological son into the oil pot......
It's all played to this scene, and the two gangs of gangsters haven't stopped yet. If it weren't for the fact that the patrol police station looked at it and intervened, maybe it would be able to play some demon moth?!
As far as the cockfighting field of Laoguanyuan is concerned, although it is not a daily gold transaction, the bets of three rounds a day are finely plated, and it is enough for the dealers in the cockfighting field to eat and drink spicy, and the small alleys are stringed with secret doors and even raise two old mothers on the kang.
For the benefit of this idea, the thing of scrambling is not new for a long time, as long as it is done neatly on the scene, even if it is lost, there will be only a waist of pants left, and someone can take a look at it on the street, and it is not difficult to mix a melon and two dates a day, and it is not difficult to be full!
Seeing the continuous applause around him, the dealer in the cockfighting arena greeted the crowd of onlookers again and again, and at the same time signaled the helpers around him to quickly accept the silver dollars and copper coins bet by everyone.
In just a moment, there were already two piles of silver dollars and copper coins on the Taiping table, and the onlookers with oilcloth gambling tickets in their hands shouted excitedly, hoping to see the next even more incredible cockfight, and also to make a conclusion about their own wins and losses.
Many gamblers began to wonder if it was the dealer of the cockfighting arena who saw that business was not booming in the past few days, and deliberately set up such a game to make a few more silver.
Otherwise, how can it be explained that a plague chicken can easily and neatly beat off a well-trained fighting?
So on the Taiping table, there are not a few gamblers who bet on the dealer in the cockfighting arena to win, and in detail, at least seventy percent of the number of gamblers buy the dealer to win, and the rest of those who like to steal the limelight and go down the river are pinning their hopes on the old thin rooster in the hands of the strong man!
Seeing that the bet was almost closed, the dealer of the cockfighting arena personally sounded the gong that symbolized the end of the bet acceptance, turned his head and took out a huge black fighting from the cage where the fighting was raised, and carefully placed it on the edge of the fighting.
A gambler who knew the cockfight immediately shouted: "Good fellow! That's a lot of money! This is a thing in the town yard of the old official garden's cockfighting arena, called Hei Mengliang! ”
"Isn't that Hei Mengliang? Pounced, grabbed, pecked and swept away, there must have been more than a dozen fighting cocks that died under these four axes in the past half a year, right? ”
"That's right! Last month, a player lost too much and was not convinced, and he hugged a golden retriever fighting from Tongzhou to bet, and lost two big yellow croaker! ”
Coldly watching the sturdy man reluctantly hug the old thin rooster from the cage to the side of the field again, the dealer of the cockfighting arena quickly picked his hands and feet in the wide sleeves, and a few grains of sorghum rice soaked in rice wine mixed with cockfighting medicine had fallen into the palm of his hand, and in a blink of an eye, he was eaten by the fighting known as Hei Mengliang.
There are too many flowers in the cockfighting arena, and one of them is sorghum rice that has been soaked in rice wine and then mixed with cockfighting medicine. Although the cockfighting medicine used in each cockfighting arena may not be exactly the same, the effect is almost the same.
After eating this cockfighting medicine, at most, it is the kung fu of a foreigner's cigarette, and the fighting that has eaten the fighting medicine will bite and tear at the opponent like crazy. Even if the opponent has fallen to the ground, the fighting that has eaten the fighting medicine will still continue to attack one after another, until it is forcibly carried by the owner to soak in cold water and disperse the medicinal properties.
It is estimated that the time for the drug attack is almost up, and the dealer in the cockfighting arena has not waited for the oil bamboo stalk to be raised after the stalk has just been knocked in the middle of the field, and suddenly pushed the fighting in his hand towards the position where the sturdy man was squatting......
In the hands of the storytellers of Tianqiao, there are not a few who can tell "Yang Jiajiang" all the mustaches and tails, and there are not a few people who applaud the scene, especially the tricks and tricks played by Meng Liang and Jiao Zan, which are even more exciting.
Du Sensei said that the old and young masters in Lao Beiping, even the half-grown children, all knew that Meng Liang's four axes were splitting the brain, gouging out the eyes, shaving the ribs, and cutting **, and they were invincible in the battle array!
But if he had carried Meng Liang's four axes, then it would have been Meng Liang who would have turned around and fled next. In a "Yang Family General", the scene where Meng Liang turned around and fled for his life after seeing that the four axes did not work is also common.
And in the cockfighting arena, this fighting nicknamed Black Mengliang didn't seem to have escaped the trajectory of the battle formation that the real Mengliang had experienced. As soon as he pounced on the old skinny rooster, and before he even had time to grasp the barely smoothed feathers on his opponent's body, Hei Mengliang also seemed to have suddenly fallen into an evil spirit, turned his head and ran out of the field.
The dealer in the cockfighting arena is really in a hurry now!
Replaced with the strongest cockfighting in the field, and took advantage of the unpreparedness to feed the cockfighting medicine first, it was still an inexplicable defeat in the face, and if it went on like this, this cockfighting field would have to be picked by someone!
And so many silver dollars and copper coins on the table, according to the odds of one to three, all paid to those gamblers, I am afraid that I will really have to lose today, leaving a trouser waist to slip out of the door!
I only saw the corner of the banker's eyebrows in the cockfighting arena suddenly raised upwards, and a few idlers standing at the door of the cockfighting arena shouted violently: "Old and young masters, hurry up!" The police station is here! ”
Immediately following the shouting, the crowd of onlookers suddenly heard the sound of two kicks exploding. Taking advantage of the moment when those gamblers were startled by the explosion of the second kick and moved around, several gamblers shouted in unison in the crowd: "Roll up the hall and disperse!" The silver on the table, in whose hands it is in the hands of it, it will be picked up for nothing! ”
The crowd suddenly became chaotic......
Ordinary cockfights and dog fighting arenas, gossip money flower stalls at street corners and alleys, and even those small gambling games hidden in secret doors or second meat shops, all burn incense on time to the police station that can manage their own area according to the rules of the mixed scene. Otherwise, before the gambling game could earn the money for the jujubes, I was afraid that the patrol officer in the police station would go to the door with iron handcuffs first.
But even if the incense is burned on time, the police station will send a few patrol officers to rush into those small casinos every now and then to catch some unlucky gamblers, and then change their tricks to blackmail those gamblers to spend some money, and at the same time, they can also write in the report handed over to the boss at the end of the month - on a certain day in a certain month, arrest X number of gamblers, and severely punish Yunyun......
If you get a good deal and pay a job, who can not be happy to do it?
As for those gambling games at the Six Nations Hotel......
Who is full of food to provoke right and wrong!
Actions like this are called by gamblers who know the inside story of the matter.
But there is always a way for people in the rivers and lakes to turn bad things into good things.
Especially at the end of a gambling game with huge stakes, seeing that he was about to end up with a loss, the secret signal given between the activities of the eyebrows in the corners of his eyes lit up, and the helper Qingpi, who had long been arranged among the gamblers, would immediately shout that the police were coming, and lead the way to escape outside the casino.
Coupled with the two kicks that exploded in the crowd, instigating people to grab the bets piled up on the Taiping table, not worrying about the crowd and chaos!
Under the scene of the scattered volume, the gambling game ...... Naturally, there are too many to do.
Therefore, at the moment when the shouting just started, a few gangsters who had been guarding the Taiping table in the cockfighting arena neatly shook out a piece of furoshiki from their sleeves, wrapped most of the bets on the Taiping table into the furoshiki in three or two strokes, and turned their heads and got behind the open curtain next to the cockfighting ring.
And the cage with the fighting has long been specially watched by the green skin in one hand, carrying the fighting cage along the alley next to the old official garden. Even the dealer in the cockfighting arena had already blended into the surrounding spectators with Hei Mengliang, who was screaming incessantly, and ran along the fleeing crowd with his head bowed.
But the sturdy man, except for the crowd when the crowd was just chaotic, quickly hugged the old thin rooster into his arms, and did not do anything else, but followed the scattered crowd around him into an inconspicuous small alley next to the old official garden with a panicked face.
In the blink of an eye, there was no one running in the cockfighting arena, which was still crowded......
