291 Scuffle
"We brought the dice ourselves?" Xiong Min looked up and laughed angrily at the beard, "I said brother, you can't even make up lies, and your shopkeeper is really blind, so he will let you be a lure." ”
"What a lie, you brought this dice yourself! Unbelief...... I don't believe it......" Hu Hu said two "don't believe" in a row, and finally understood why the other party said that he couldn't make up lies. The mercury-filled dice are clearly the gambling house's own, and there are several identical dice on the gambling table, and the other party only needs to smash one more, which is enough to prove that the gambling house is out of thousands.
The dealer also realized this, and he quickly reached out to grab the other dice on the table, trying to destroy the evidence. As soon as the dealer's hand touched the dice, Liao Yiming picked up the paperweight he used to smash the dice just now and slammed it on the back of his hand.
"Whew!"
The dealer jumped up with the back of his hand in his hands, and immediately fell to the ground and cried. Liao Yiming hated these people's evil deeds of harming the people, and he didn't leave any affection when he started, and when this stone fell, the dealer's right hand was completely disabled.
After Liao Yiming smashed the dealer, he didn't do anything, and simply smashed all the other dice on the table with a few clicks. Sure enough, several dice, without exception, were cheating dice filled with mercury. At this time, the gamblers no longer had any doubts, and they all clamored, and some people picked up what they had at hand and wanted to smash the gambling house.
"Someone's coming, someone is smashing the field!" Seeing that the situation was not good, the beard shouted loudly. More than a dozen thugs rushed toward the table from all directions, each with a large stick in his hand.
"Xinglong Gambling House is a place with a king's law, who dares to smash the field!" The small leader of the thugs rushed to the front, viciously threatening everyone.
"Fuck your mother's royal law, what kind of royal law do you dare to talk about from your family!" Annoyed, a gambler lifted a stool and threw it at the little leader. The little boss didn't expect anyone to be so excited, when he saw a dark shadow flying towards him, trying to dodge. It's too late. The stool made of pure pear wood weighed more than a dozen pounds, and this time it smashed firmly on the face of the little leader, and the little leader screamed and fell.
The head was beaten, and those thugs refused to stop. Six or seven thugs rushed at the gambler who had thrown the stool with their sticks, and they knocked him down in three or two blows.
"Brothers, Xinglong Gambling House cheated us out of our money, and beat people, let's fight with them!" Xiong Minyang shouted maliciously.
"That's right! Fight! "Some of the red-eyed gamblers were immediately incited. In this world, the most fearless is the gambler, these people who dare to bet their wives and children on the gambling table, once they find out that they have been fooled, what else do they dare not do?
What a scuffle!
On the one hand, there are gamblers who are obsessed with anger, and on the other hand, there are professional thugs, the latter has more professional qualities in fighting than the former, but the former has more courage to play with his life than the latter.
Xiong Minyang provoked the battle, but he did not join. just protected Mo San with two subordinates, and then quickly knocked down the beard and the shopkeeper Hu, took out a rope from his arms, tied them firmly, and threw them at his feet. This is what Li Zhen has explained. It is necessary to leave evidence and prisoners that can be used in future lawsuits.
The thugs rushed over when they saw that there was chaos here, and they didn't know who was the culprit. Seeing that Xiong Minyang and the others did not participate in the fight, he couldn't care about dealing with them for a while. Instead, they were busy fighting the gamblers. When the gamblers in the other halls heard the commotion, they all ran over to see the excitement, and heard that the cause of the fight was that the dealer in the gambling house had been arrested. They were all furious. Some cautious gamblers grabbed a few dice on the table and smashed them to verify, and they also found cheating dice filled with mercury.
This fight lasted for more than half an hour, and the winners and losers gradually became clear. The gamblers, although they are vigorous, are not trained and organized after all. The gambling house brought in nearly 100 thugs from other places, and finally took control of the situation. Some of the most scrappy gamblers were defeated, while some of the less timid gamblers succumbed. As far as the eye can see, the entire gambling hall has been smashed beyond recognition, and the ground is full of howling and moaning wounded, and some people are lying there motionless, and I don't know if they have died or not.
"These brothers, what's the matter with you?"
After all the gamblers were subdued, Xu Rendi, the owner of the gambling house who commanded the fight, found Xiong Minyang and the others standing in the corner of the gambling hall with a good end, and after a closer look, he saw the beard and other three people who were tied up and thrown at their feet. Xu Rendi's heart moved, and with a few thugs, he stepped forward with a calm face and asked Xiong Minyang.
"Ask this ......," Xiong Min asked with a smile and a fist.
"Xu Rendi, Xi is the shopkeeper of this small gambling house." Xu Rendi replied, the other party's calm performance made him feel a little frightened, and he vaguely realized that these people might be the most difficult to deal with.
However, no matter how difficult it is to deal with, it is only 4 people, what big waves can be stirred? Xu Rendi said to himself.
Xiong Min looked up and said: "Oh, it turned out to be the shopkeeper Xu, fortunately, fortunately." ”
"How many daimyo do you dare to ask?" Xu Rendi asked.
Xiong Min said: "The surname is Xiong, and I can do three things at home, and the shopkeeper Xu can call me Xiong San." ”
Xu Rendi snorted and said, "It turned out to be the bear shopkeeper, and it was disrespectful." ”
Xiong Min came to the gambling house to provoke, and naturally had to disguise himself in advance and pretend to be a peasant. But his talk and calmness are clearly not what a farmer should have, so Xu Rendi honored him as the shopkeeper. Based on Xu Rendi's inner guess, he felt that Xiong Minyang might be an official who handled the case, but since the other party didn't say it clearly, it was inconvenient for him to break it, otherwise some things would be difficult to deal with. I have to say that as a gambling house shopkeeper, his eyes are really poisonous.
Xiong Minyang snorted: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." ”
"Shopkeeper Bear, this is the dealer of this gambling house, why is he tied up here by you and others? This shopkeeper and this bearded guest officer are also guests of this workshop, do you have any intention of tying them up for no reason? Xu Rendi didn't go around in circles, and directly pointed to the beard and the others and asked Xiong Minyang questions.
Xiong Min looked up and said: "This dealer used a dice filled with mercury to make a thousand, and we saw through it, so I took it down and planned to send it to the official." These two brothers just gambled with me at the same table, and they were our gambling friends. I don't know why, but the right person is the dealer and the enemy of us. I had no choice but to capture him. ”
"Out of a thousand?" Xu Rendi frowned and said, "I think it's a mistake to come to the bear shopkeeper, this workshop has always been known for its integrity, how can there be a thousand things, there can't be some misunderstanding, right?" ”
Xiong Min said: "Of course we believe in the credit of Xinglong Casino. However, maybe this dealer is greedy for profit and has done something sorry for the gambling house, so we can be regarded as cleaning up the portal for the shopkeeper Xu. Rest assured, we won't blame the gambling house for this, we just want to send the dealer to the official. ”
Xiong Minyang's words were false and real, and Xu Rendi was confused. How can the cheating of the dealer in the gambling house have nothing to do with the gambling house? Xiong Minyang said that he only held the dealer accountable, is it an excuse, or is it really stupid?
"Shopkeeper Xiong, this matter is confusing, but I am afraid that the government will not be able to decide. This won't work, you sell me a face, this gambling house will pay a few guest officials 100 taels of silver, and you will let the dealer go. As for whether he is really out of the thousand, we will check it when we go back. Regardless of whether this matter is true or not, I will not recover the 100 taels of silver, what do you think? Xu Rendi said.
"Third brother, what do you see?" Xiong Minyang seemed to be a little moved, and he turned back to Mo San for instructions.
Mo San dared to make decisions for Xiong Minyang, he also knew that Xiong Minyang's move was contrived, so he responded: "Brother Xiong can just look at this matter, and Brother Fool has no objections." ”
Xiong Minyang said to Xu Rendi: "Shopkeeper Xu, you mean, we take 100 taels of silver, and then we can leave, we don't owe each other, right?" ”
Xu Rendi turned around and pointed to the hall and said, "Shopkeeper Xiong, you see, it's because of your suspicious words, we have such a big mess here, hundreds of people have been injured, maybe there will be dead people, I have to give an explanation to the government, right?" Therefore, I would like to ask you, after taking the money, to prove to me that this incident was a complete misunderstanding and that you were mistaken. ”
"I see." Xiong Min nodded, he still wondered why this Xu Rendi was so easy to speak, it turned out that he had the intention of using them as a scapegoat. He kept saying that it was a misunderstanding, and once Xiong Minyang and others signed and admitted that it was a misunderstanding, the responsibility for provoking this brawl would all fall on them. In addition, this time hundreds of gamblers witnessed the evidence of the casino's thousands, which was undoubtedly a devastating event for the casino's credibility. If Xiong Minyang and others are willing to come forward to take responsibility for this matter, Xu Rendi will have a way to re-whitewash the reputation of the gambling house.
"Shopkeeper Xu's abacus is so fine." Xiong Minyang sneered, "What if we don't agree to this condition? ”
"No promise?" A cold light flashed in Xu Rendi's eyes, "Shopkeeper Xiong, do you think you still have the capital to not agree?" ”
Hearing Xu Rendi say this, the thugs behind him took half a step forward together, and the stick in his hand shook slightly, and the threat was self-evident.
Xiong Min was happy: "What, you still want to fight again?" ”
"The surname Xiong, don't toast or eat penalty wine, look at how many of us there are! If you offend our shopkeeper Xu, do you still want to stand and get out of here? One of the thugs yelled viciously. He did have the confidence to say this, because the gamblers who made trouble had been controlled, and now facing Xiong Minyang and the other four, there were more than thirty thugs, and the power ratio was almost ten to one.
