Chapter 36: Finger II

Among the gangsters in Tianjin, those who blackmail pawnshops to make a living are the shopkeepers of pawnshops, and they also have many means to deal with them. The relationship between the two is like that of viruses and anti-virus software in later generations, each of which is evolving. The shopkeeper had met a pawnbroker who had cut a piece of meat from his thigh in the past, so he used the fine salt as a means of coping.

Whether it's your own or someone else's actions, in short, sprinkle a handful of fine salt on the wound and rub it vigorously to ensure that he screams in pain. Gangsters have rules, they can't say forgiveness, as long as they call out, they will lose face. He could immediately give an order, and the thugs went up to beat him half to death with sticks, and then sent him to the Yamen of Jinmen County for disposal. If you don't dare to put it on the wound, you will walk by yourself and dare not say a word.

Seeing the salt he took out, among the robes in the crowd, someone muttered in a low voice, "What a ruthless minion, in Jingshi, there is no such rule." ”

The people around him whispered: "Ten masters, do you want a slave......

"What's the hurry, I want to see how this play is sung."

Zhao Guanhou saw the shopkeeper put the paper bag in front of his eyes, and sneered at him, "The shopkeeper's kind eyes, thank you very much." The price of this medicine is good even if it is in the current price, I will take this medicine myself, so you don't have to bother with it! He grabbed a handful of snow-white fine salt in his right hand and pasted it vigorously towards the severed finger of his left hand, and then rubbed it vigorously and pressed the white salt on the wound.

The pain in his heart struck, but what appeared in his mind was the appearance of Monica when she trained her, and Su Hanzhi's gentle smile. For the sake of his angel, this little pain is worth it. Compared with the torture training that he had suffered, this kind of pain can only be regarded as pediatric. This debt will be calculated with interest, and then calculated back to the Pang family.

The expected screams did not occur, and the spectators were stunned at first, and then erupted into an earth-shattering burst of colorful sounds. The shopkeeper who came out with a salt bag was not good at stepping down now, but he didn't expect to meet a real hard bone.

In the land of Yan Zhao, Su Zhong is a hero, and now he is suppressed by the other party, if these spectators make trouble, the reputation of the Yuanfeng will be greatly affected. This finger is indispensable to oneself.

This shopkeeper is also a delicate figure, and he immediately made a decision, hugged his fists and saluted, "Good man, good job." This finger, we Yuanfeng received, but I don't know, how much money you plan to make. ”

"Well, I didn't plan to sell this thing at a high price, only half of my finger was severed in total, even if it was brought to the meat market, I couldn't sell it for money, so I could only use it as a supplement. But the shopkeeper just said that if the price of the parents is too low, they will be sorry for the ancestors. This half section of the finger is worth a hundred oceans, I don't know what the shopkeeper wants? ”

"A hundred oceans? Okay, just according to what this lord said, come to someone and write a pawn ticket for this lord. ”

The courtiers of the three cabinets were so frightened that they couldn't say anything, and the shopkeeper had to shout in person, but Zhao Guanhou stopped him, "Wait a minute, people have left their names, and geese have left their voices." I can't cut my fingers in vain, you wrote the ticket like this, who knows who is here to exchange money? Let me tell you, my name is Zhao Guanhou, the head of the small shoe shop bone club, you have to write on the ticket, and Zhao Guanhou, the head of the small shoe shop bone club, has half a tail finger on his left hand, which can't be bad. ”

"Pawn Ticket...... I can't always write in such detail. "The shopkeeper has been in the business for many years, and he instinctively feels that the ticket can't be written in this way.

Zhao Guanhou sank his face, "Nonsense! Tickets can't be written like this, why didn't you say it earlier? Now cut it down, it's too late! If I don't make it clear, where will you go to reason with a random finger to me in the future? ”

In the crowd, some people also shouted, "That's right, pawnshops always rely on this hand to harm the people, but they can't be allowed to take advantage of this loophole, write it, and write it to others!" Otherwise, you have to give an explanation, how to count this finger. ”

Seeing that he didn't do this, he couldn't pass this level now, so the shopkeeper had to grit his teeth, drag out a long tail note, and shout "write ......"

The person who wrote the ticket was a professional copywriter, who did not participate in the inspection, but only obeyed the order. As soon as he heard the order, he picked up a brush and wrote on the pawn ticket according to the instructions of the shopkeeper

"Today's small shoe shop will be the head of the head Zhao Guanhou left hand tail finger half of the root, live as a hundred yuan of Longyang, two cents of monthly interest, the current period of March, overdue non-redemption, let the disposal of ......" when the words on the ticket are written on the dragon flying phoenix dance, written is half a word, people who are not in the bank can not understand what he wrote. Another fellow took two red paper packets from the tent and put them on the cabinet.

According to the rules of the pawnshop, when the pawnshop lends money, one month's interest will be deducted first, which is 100 yuan, and the actual ocean that Zhao Guanhou gets is 80 yuan, and at the time of redemption, he has to pay 120 yuan. Zhao Guanhou didn't check the numbers, and smiled generously, "Yuanfeng is a golden signboard, I believe in your reputation, this money, you don't have to count it." Take the ticket. ”

The shopkeeper took the pawn ticket from Mr. and was about to hand it out, but he felt that something was wrong, and he muttered a little there, "Friend, since the number of this ocean is correct, you can just take it, I don't think I'm in a hurry to see this pawn ticket." If you have an injury on your hand, you should treat it first, so as not to delay the injury and hinder your body......"

Zhao Guanhou's eyes were cold, and the hand he stretched out still didn't move, "What, Yuanfeng's rule is that you only accept pawns, don't you give pawn tickets?" But the pawnshop in Jinmen, where is this rule? ”

In the crowd, a crisp voice shouted: "That's right, slow to say that it is Jinmen, even if it is our Jingshi, the pawnshop opened by the official Shangshutang, there is no such rule." When someone is a thing, you have to write a ticket for someone, how can there be a reason to hold on to the ticket? ”

This voice is not a Jinmen native accent, but a fluent Jingshi accent, clean and neat, and the voice is crisp and pleasant. There is the power of the Pang family behind the shopkeeper, and the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, he is not very afraid of a foreigner. Even if this foreigner is from Jingshi, if he dares to provoke Yuanfeng pawnshop, he is sure to make the other party pay the price. With this excuse, he took the pawn ticket and the severed finger, and looked at the crowd, and his tone was also a little displeased

"Who is this? What do you want to say, come to the front and say, let me open my eyes, see which way this is a hero, don't hide in the crowd, this is not enough to be a single. We are a business with Pang Guan, if anyone dares to come here to make trouble, don't blame our owner for not making friends. ”

A young man in a robe in the crowd sneered, "Pang Guan Belt? Is it a big official? In Jingshi, this kind of sesame official has no face to say that he is an official, why is he here, so majestic? A few people separated from the crowd and walked over, and the shopkeeper sank his face, and several thugs, who had nothing to do and watched, but now they also touched their hands to the sticks.

But the expected collision did not happen, in fact, the shopkeeper didn't see who was speaking for Zhao Guanhou in the crowd, and just as the person was about to walk out of the crowd, a crisp sound suddenly came from outside.

In the summer, it rains in Lijinmen, and thunder is not uncommon, but this sound is not thunder, but gunshots. Everyone is no stranger to this kind of sound, from the shelling of Dagukou to the landing of the coalition forces, this sound has been heard too much, and it is clearly a sound that only makes when foreign guns are fired.

And this gunshot, like a signal, a moment later, like a burst of beans, gunshots rang outside, some people rang the gong, and others ripped their throats and shouted, "Everyone, be careful, don't go away!" ”

"It's a noise, run!" I don't know who shouted this, and then the pawnshop fell into chaos. No matter how lively the people of Tianjin are, they also know the truth that they can't enter the three games. Whether it is a ringing horse or an official army, it is not something that the Jinmen can get involved in, including the people in the pawnshop, and the only thing they can think about at this time is to escape.

Things happened so quickly that the shopkeeper didn't even have time to call the man to close the door, and the whole room fell into chaos. Footsteps, screams, collisions, and scolding were heard endlessly, and the pawnshop felt like it had been caught in a sudden storm. The screen fell to the ground and fell to pieces, several men got under the table in embarrassment, and the guards threw sticks and launched a high-speed charge in the direction of the backyard warehouse, of course, they unanimously decided afterwards that they were not fleeing, but going to protect the warehouse and dutifully protect the owner's property.

The spectators, along with Zhao Guanhou, were no longer there, and there were almost no owners on the ground, as well as two broken hats. As soon as the shopkeeper was about to shout at the people, a group of officers and soldiers rushed to the pawnshop to search for the horses. The shopkeeper originally wanted to move out the name of the Pang pipe belt, but it was a new army, and the name of the Pang pipe belt was not easy to use.

After these loyal soldiers searched carefully, they left without finding anything, and when they left, the shopkeeper summoned the court, the tent and others to conduct a review, and found that more than 100 yuan of cash was lost, and two or twenty taels of silver were scattered plus a number of copper dollars.

At the same time, the shopkeeper also discovered another thing, the pawn ticket and the severed finger were all missing. Whether it was taken back by Zhao Guanhou, captured by the heroic officers and soldiers, or fell into the hands of the ringing horses who came and went without a trace, there is no way to know.

A bookkeeper asked puzzledly: "Shopkeeper, that man is a desperate gangster, and he has come to our cabinet to slander people, why do you care too much about his fingers." It is also his ability to take away a hundred oceans from our cabinet, and he will go back and tell the owner, and then slowly clean him up, then the ticket and fingers are useless, but this gang of Qiu Ba has made such a fuss, which is similar to suffering an open fire, how can we explain to the owner. ”

"I hope so, too." The shopkeeper sighed, "But if you dare to come to our pawnshop as a finger, I always feel that things will not be so simple." It's all to blame for the gunshot, if it weren't for the messy guns, and the mess, I would never give him a ticket. Someone, go outside and call a car, I'm going to see the owner once, I have to tell him in advance. Also, send someone to find out, what is the origin of Zhao Guanhou in the small shoe shop, who gave him the courage to dare to call us out, this matter can't be counted like this. ”

In a small medical hall not far from the pawnshop, Zhao Guanhou's hands were already wrapped with gauze, and the medicine was also smeared inside, Lang Zhong couldn't help but comfort, "The wound medicine you use is excellent, the medicine for the trumpet is out of reach, with this good medicine, there will be no problems with your wounds." When you get home, as long as you don't touch the water, you'll be fine. ”

Zhao Guanhou thanked him, turned his head again, and gave a deep salute to the young man who came with him, "Friend, thank you for giving medicine, Zhao is grateful." I don't know my friend's surname, where is the fairy town, I can come to the door to thank you one day. ”

The young man looked two years older than Zhao Guanhou, tall and slender, slightly shorter than Zhao Guanhou, with a face as white as jade, sword eyebrows and handsome eyes, red lips and white teeth, wearing a silk shirt, covered with a goose-yellow Ning silk horse coat, a piece of flawless mutton fat jade in the middle of the melon skin hat on his head, and a glass emerald wrench on his hand. He shook the folding fan and said with a smile: "Zhao Guanhou? That's your name, as for me,...... You can just call me Jin Shi. Let's go out and talk and talk? ”
