Chapter 45: Into the Set

The audience under the ring heard the conversation between Xiao Zhenlei and Huo Yuanjia clearly, and immediately discussed it. If it is Huo Yuanjia against Opiyin, the audience's confidence may be greater, after all, Huo Yuanjia's reputation is not covered, he scared away the Russian Hercules Sqifanlov who came to Tianjin to show off his power in Tianjin seven or eight years ago, so he became famous all over the world. But now Xiao Zhenlei is playing against Opiyin, to be honest, the vast majority of the audience present has no hope for Xiao Zhenlei, although he is tall and burly, it is not worth mentioning compared to Opiyin, and Xiao Zhenlei is very young, and being young means that he has little experience in fighting, which is the reason why the audience is worried, and even many people feel sorry for Xiao Zhenlei, in their hearts they have already decided that Xiao Zhenlei will lose, and it is likely that he will be beaten to the hospital by Opiyin like Ma Hanlong before.

After Liu Zhensheng left, Xiao Zhenlei stood up to face Opiyin, and at this time, Huo Yuanjia had just walked to the left edge of the ring and lined up with Wo Lin and Pingfu.

Xiao Zhenlei walked up to Opiyin and said: "Master Huo is the predecessor of my country's martial arts world, if you want to duel with him, you must first pass my level, if you can win against me, it means that you are qualified to fight with Master Huo, now I will fight with you, what do you think?" ”

Hearing this, Opiyin shrugged his shoulders and said with an indifferent look: "It doesn't matter to me, compared to other Qing people, you are only a little stronger, I punched you, you still have to lie down, if you want to fight me, then please go and pay the money, I don't mind delaying a few minutes to solve you!" ”

Xiao Zhenlei listened to the gleam in his eyes, and gave a thumbs up: "Very good, you are arrogant enough, I hope you will remember what you said when you lie on the ground, and then think about what you feel!" ”

Opiyin is indeed a strong man, Xiao Zhenlei knows this very well, but he knows that Opiyin is just a staff member of the circus, Opiyin's body is extremely strong, and his strength is far beyond ordinary people, but he is not a famous fighter, he has a good body and brute strength, and he knows a little boxing skills, and nothing else.

Despite this, it is difficult for ordinary martial arts practitioners to knock down Opiyin, because the hitting strength does not reach a certain Cheng dΓΉ It is impossible to cause damage to Opiyin, such as Ma Hanlong, this person has excellent light skills, physical agility, flexibility far beyond ordinary people, and many attack skills, but because of the lack of attack power, he cannot cause substantial damage to the rough-skinned and thick-skinned Opiyin, and was caught by Opiyin and beaten violently, not to mention Ma Hanlong, Xiao Zhenlei thought that he would not be able to bear to be punched by Opiyin.

Xiao Zhenlei walked to the left side of the ring, looked at Walling and asked, "Are you Mr. Walling?" The owner of the circus? ”

Walling was taken aback, and said in his heart, this Oriental man even knows this, which means that this person must also know that the owner of the circus is not a big man in the concession? So the role of the noble foreign adult he has been playing is about to be exposed?

Thinking of this, Wo Lin couldn't help but feel a little flustered, but he hurriedly stabilized his feelings, pretended to be superior, and said proudly: "I am the noble Mr. Wo Lin, what is the matter with you, the yellow-skinned monkey of the Qing Kingdom?" If you want to compete with my Hercules, please pay the money, or get out of the ring and make way for the others! ”

Xiao Zhenlei laughed angrily, "Hahaha, the owner of a small circus is also pretending to be a foreign adult? You think you're an English aristocrat? Forget it, Uncle Ben won't talk nonsense with you, your rule is that if you want Opiyin to compete, you have to pay five taels of silver first, and if you win, you can take a thousand taels, right? ”

Walling looked up at the sky with a big belly, and said with a look of ignorance: "Of course, could it be that my honorable Mr. Walling will lie to you?" ”

"According to this calculation, if I pay 1,000 taels of silver and happen to win Opiyin, then don't you have to pay me 200,000 taels?"

"Huh?" Wo Lin was stunned for a moment when he heard Xiao Zhenlei's words, and then his eyes rolled around a few times; Immediately said: "Of course, your mathematical calculation ability is very good, you are right, if you really pay 1,000 taels, and you happen to win Opiyin, you can get 200,000 taels!" ”

Xiao Zhenlei shook his head in disbelief and said, "I know that you have only been here from the UK for less than two months, and you have no real estate in Shanghai, why should I believe that you have this to pay this money?" Unless you can show the relevant documents to prove that you really have the ability to pay the money, or ask someone else to vouch for it, I will pay 1,000 taels to fight Opiyin in the ring, otherwise I will only pay 5 taels."

One thousand taels? This is definitely not a small amount for the owner of a circus like Walling, think about it, how much money can a circus surplus to feed so many staff and livestock every month? Not to mention the little-known circus owned by Walling, even if it is the top circus in the United Kingdom, it is a very remarkable thing to earn a thousand taels for a performance. Therefore, a thousand taels is a fatal temptation for a person like Wallin who loves money as much as his life. Confuse!

Why is it said that Wallin is a man who loves money like life? It can be seen from the fact that Volin arranged for Opiyin, who is only a circus clerk, to make money in the ring, it can be seen that this person is not only short of money but also loves money, if Opiyin is a professional boxer, Waryn's arrangement can be understood, after all, professional boxers have a much greater chance of winning in the ring, and Opiyin is just a circus clerk, Xiao Zhenlei will only throw a thousand taels as bait when he analyzes this, and he is not afraid that Warren will not take the bait.

Wolin really took the bait, and he couldn't resist the temptation of a thousand taels. Confused, his eyes lit up, as if Xiao Zhenlei's one thousand taels had already arrived in his hand, and hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, wait a minute, I will answer you soon!" As he spoke, he pulled the notary next to him, Pingfu, aside.

After meeting on the other side for several minutes before reaching an agreement, the two came over, and Walling said, "This is Mr. Pingfu, a notary, and he is the manager of the Shanghai Electric Light Company, and he can vouch for me!" ”

Xiao Zhenlei looked at Pingfu, who nodded at the right time to verify the authenticity of what Wolin said.

Xiao Zhenlei asked, "Mr. Pingfu, what guarantee do you get?" If I win, and this Mr. Walling can't get 200,000 taels, what will you do to fill the hole for him? ”

Hearing this, there was a look of hesitation on Ping Fu's face, and then Wo Lin pulled his sleeve with his hand without a trace, and Ping Fu gritted his teeth and said: "I own the property right of a villa on Huade Road, with a market value of about 70,000 taels at the current market, and I own 37% of the shares of the Great Shanghai Electric Light Company, if you calculate the market value, it should be enough to be worth 130,000 taels!" ”

Xiao Zhenlei sneered in his heart, and finally took the bait! He nodded and said, "Okay, so who is the notary?" Mr. Pingfu, you are now Mr. Walling's guarantor, and you can no longer be a notary, I think we need a lawyer! ”

Just when Xiao Zhenlei wanted to find someone to find Qin Liankui to be a notary lawyer, a voice suddenly came from the crowd in the east of the ring from the outside: "If you need a lawyer, I think I can be a lawyer between the two of you!" ”

As the words fell, a short, glassed, three-four-five-year-old foreigner with a seven-point-old head carried a black briefcase and walked into the ring separately from the crowd.

Xiao Zhenlei looked at the foreigner, made a gentleman's salute, and asked in Chinese, "I don't know what this gentleman is called?" Which law firm's lawyer? ”

The foreigner handed over a card and said, "Hello sir, I am Fei Xinton, a lawyer at Younikan Law Firm, and one of the shareholders of Younikan Law Firm!" ”

Xiao Zhenlei took the piece of paper called a business card and looked at it, and suddenly remembered who this Fei Xindun was, this person was the general director of the Ministry of Industry Bureau of the Public Concession in history, and was elected to the board of directors of the Ministry of Industry Bureau of the Public Concession in 1920, and served as the general director of the Ministry of Industry Bureau from 1923 to 1929. sea and many other important events. I didn't expect this person to be just a small lawyer now.

Xiao Zhenlei was not interested in whether Fei Xindun would still become the general director of the Ministry of Industry of the Public Concession in the future, and now he needed a lawyer who could act as a notarizer, so he put away his business card and asked, "Is Mr. Fei Xindun a man?" As far as I know, you are an American, and although the United States and the United Kingdom are two countries, the United States and the United Kingdom have always been of the same origin, so how can I believe that you, as a notary public, will not favor Mr. Walling and Mr. Peace, who are British? ”

Fei Xindun's face changed greatly when he heard this, and he said angrily: "Sir, you can question my character, but you can't question my professional ethics as a lawyer!" For me, my clients and clients are my God, and as long as I collect their lawyers' fees, I will serve them to the best of my ability, no matter what nationality they are! ”

"Huh?" Xiao Zhenlei didn't expect Fei Xindun's reaction to be so big, and hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, Mr. Fei Xindun, I shouldn't question your professional ethics, I apologize to you, okay, I decided to hire you as my lawyer, by the way, how much lawyer fees do you need?" ”

Fei Xindun thought for a while and made up his mind: "If you win, sir, then you will pay me five percent of what you get this time as my reward!" ”

"Five percent? That's 10,000 taels? Xiao Zhenlei said and thought about it for two seconds, and promised: "Okay, I agree, I'll leave it to you now, I hope you can finish the affairs you need to be responsible for as quickly as possible, because the audience can't wait to see me beat this big guy!" ”

Fei Xindun made a gentleman's salute: "As you wish!" ”
