Chapter 146: Qingyuan Three Tigers
The old man walked to the front of the stage and unfolded the black bag on the counter, revealing a gilded Buddha head. Everyone was stunned, seeing that this portrait was intact, and they didn't know where he got it from.
To Xiao Yao's surprise, he was still behind, only to see the old man effortlessly holding the Buddha's head with one hand and looking at it carefully, it looked a lot easier than the bald man.
The old man had a unique eye, smiled secretly, looked up and said, "Five hundred taels of silver."
When the big man heard this, he said angrily: "You dare to frame me?!" This Buddha head is worth three thousand taels of silver! ”
The old man smiled, squinted at him, and sneered: "Do you still want the old man to point out where your Buddha head came from?" Take it when you see it, young man. I dare to say that no one dares to do your business in Qingyuan Mansion because of my Cuiyun Xuan, but no? ”
The big man's cheeks were slightly hot, the light in his eyes flashed, he was no longer entangled, and the guy standing at the counter took a silver ticket of five hundred taels, took it and turned around and left. As if accustomed to this kind of thing, the old man instructed the man to take the Buddha's head, glanced in the direction of the door a few times, and then turned around and entered the house.
……
For half a day in the afternoon, Xiao Yao traveled around the east and west, and did not return to the inn until sunset. I just sat down, thinking about my future plans, and with nearly 100,000 taels of silver tickets on my body as capital, it shouldn't be difficult to gain a foothold here. Unintentionally touched into his arms, a layer of cold sweat instantly oozed from his forehead, his brows were slightly furrowed, and the silver ticket in his arms disappeared!
How is this possible?! It is impossible for you to lose it accidentally, there is only one possibility, someone will take you by the hand! I didn't expect that on the first day I came here, I would encounter this kind of thing, and I was resentful. Reminiscing carefully, targeting a person, the ragged boy who bumped into him on the way back to the inn.
The matter was urgent, Xiao Yao found Duan Mengxue and a few people, told them about the matter, and wanted to find clues to find out the young man. When they first arrived, they were unfamiliar with the place, and the three of Wei Wu didn't know kung fu, so they let them stay at the inn, and Xiao Yao and the five of them acted separately.
The five of them left the inn, went in different directions, and soon disappeared. Xiao Yao went straight to the casino, where there were all kinds of fish, and he was happy to get the information he wanted.
Qingyuan Mansion is worthy of being one of the best cities, and even the casinos here are many times larger than other places. Xiao Yao walked through the casino, scanning left and right, looking for a target. It seems that the "order" here is exceptionally good, and I didn't see the person I was looking for, so it was better to have an anti-customer.
Xiao Yao "arrogantly" pushed away the gamblers who were betting in front of him, made a large open space for himself, and shouted at the dealer: "This casino Lao Tzu has collected it, and he has to pay a protection fee of 5,000 taels per month!" From this month onwards, pay the money! The tone was domineering and blunt, and he stepped on the gambling table and reached out to ask for money.
Most of the people who came here to gamble were locals, and when they suddenly saw someone coming here to collect protection money, they all stared at him with strange eyes. Xiao Yao pretended not to know, but still put on a self-proclaimed appearance of Lao Tzu being the best in the world, urging the dealer to pay for it.
As the Zhuang man, he shook off the sentence without smiling: "Wait a minute, the villain will let the guy get you money." After speaking, he whispered a few words to a person behind him, glanced at Xiao Yao, the guy nodded, and ran towards the outside of the casino, but Xiao Yao swaggered on the gambling table, cocked Erlang's legs, shook his head, and waited to collect the money.
After a cup of tea, Xiao Yao said angrily: "Why hasn't it been yet?" Don't come again, Lao Tzu will hack you! ”
"Hehe, I'm bold enough and my tone is crazy enough, but I don't know how hard my life is!" The voice came from outside the door, and then more than ten people walked in, the first one was holding a folding fan, wearing a light blue brocade robe, his face was like a crown of jade, and his lips were greased, and the person who spoke thought that he was coming.
"How hard is life, only to know after trying it, the money is brought?" Xiao Yao smiled, not caring at all.
……
In the hall of a mansion not far from the casino, Xiao Yao sat in it, and another person sat in the prime minister's company. Xiao Yao arched his hand and said: "Shi Cai has no choice but to look at Haihan!" "In the casino just now, in order to avoid causing a stalemate, Xiao Yao made a move to defeat the enemy and hold the person in charge, without giving others a chance to get started. After capturing him, he said that he would go with him to get the money, and he came here.
The person who was captured was the third brother of the person who talked to Xiao Yao at this time, Qingtao. Qingjia is the family of Qingyuan Mansion, three brothers in the family, Qingtian, Qinghai, Qingtao, some reputation in the local area, if it is blessed by the family, it is not worth mentioning, but the three brothers with a ruthless step by step to break through the reputation, by the locals called "Qingjia Three Tigers".
After listening to Xiao Yao's speech, Qingtian smiled heartily, "Brother Xiao, why should you be too humble, you can restrain the third brother with one move, how can you be an idle person." Don't say that Brother Xiao has no intention of collecting the protection fee, even if we really come to collect it, we can only offer it with both hands, haha~" The two only talked a few words, and they felt that they had similar temperaments, and they were very happy to be able to make each other's friends.
"Brother Xiao, please rest assured, as long as he is from Qingyuan Mansion, he will definitely be able to find him!" Qingtian had just heard the purpose of Xiao Yao's trip, and in order to make a friend of his, he directly took over the matter and called his subordinates to help Xiao Yao investigate the young man in the city.
"Then there is Brother Lao Qing, thank you for your kindness, Xiao wrote it down." Xiao Yao's heart was happy, and he was also happy to make this friend today. It is easy to walk with more friends, and it is good to start here in the future, and it is naturally good to make more friends.
After about an hour, the report of his subordinates has already been announced, and Xiao Yao needs to confirm it personally. The two of them smiled at each other. Qing Haiyan said: "Lead the way!" Then he went with the man to find out.
After passing through several main streets and walking into an alley, Qinghai couldn't help frowning and introduced to Xiao Yao: "Most of the people living here are poor families, and most of them are homeless orphans. Xiao Yao just sighed softly, didn't say much, and continued to walk inside.
The further they walked in, the more sick and disabled the old and young on both sides of the alley, staring at Xiao Yao and the three of them a little blankly, wondering why these rich sons would come to their place. Xiao Yao sighed in his heart, no matter how rich a place is, there will be poor people after all.
Came to the door of the innermost broken house, a person guarding the door led Xiao Yao and the two into the house, the scene in front of him made Xiao Yao stunned, it was the teenager who bumped into him in the afternoon, at this time lying on the ground shivering, his face was full of blood, and there was a teenage girl kneeling beside him who kept shaking his body, shouting "brother" and crying non-stop.
Seeing Xiao Yao's expression, Qingtian knew that he had found the right person, and said to Xiao Yao lightly: "Brother Xiao, the person will be handed over to you to dispose of by yourself, I will wait for you outside." Then he led his men out of the house and closed the door.
Xiao Yao squatted down, stared at him with a frown, and said lightly, "Give me the money, I won't embarrass you." ”
