Chopsticks after chopsticks, Yang Yankang seemed to be fascinated by the golden-scaled fish, and ate more than a dozen bites in a row, and then he stopped a little unsatisfied. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Good dish, Shopkeeper Lin, this fish is a good fish, and the chef of your Lin Kee Inn is a rare good cook. For most of my life, Yang Yankang, it is the first time that I have eaten such a dish that makes people unable to put down their chopsticks. Yang Yankang smacked his lips and praised, completely ignoring whether these words did not match his dignified identity.

"Lord Yang's sycophancy, it tastes a little wrong."

On the side, Hong Wanfu couldn't help but open his mouth to intercept Yang Yankang's words. He understood that if Lin Dong liked to be flattered, his blatant sarcasm of Yang Yankang was likely to make Lin Dong unhappy. But he had to open his mouth to stop Yang Yankang, otherwise, if Lin Dong really likes to be flattered, and the person who flatters is dignified, it is very likely that Yang Yankang, an old fox who has been rolling in officialdom for decades, will be stunned by words. This is even more harmful.

Yang Yankang's face sank, and he said coldly: "Boss Hong, do you think that this golden-scaled fish is not as good as the official said?" ”

"That's not it, I just don't think Lord Yang is like the wine and food at the Quarin Ji Inn." Hong Wanfu sneered: "It's more like boasting that he is as honest as water and hasn't eaten any good dishes." ”

"Lord Hong's words are even more wrong." Yang Yankang stared straight at Hong Wanfu and said lightly: "Listen, it seems that I have grovelled and given a gift to this official, and I am not happy after being rejected by this official." ”

"Where, it's the relationship between Boss Chen and Lord Yang." Hong Wanfu said meaningfully: "On the ground of Lingnan City, which round of other casino owners give gifts, it is enough to have Boss Chen." ”

"It seems that Boss Hong doesn't believe in the fairness and strictness of this official." Yang Yankang said casually: "Actually, Boss Hong misunderstood. The day before yesterday, the reason why this official sent someone to arrest Liu Fengliang, one of the stewards of Hongfu Gambling House, and Boss Hong's seventh lady was indeed because the two of them were annihilated. This point, whether it is human or material evidence, is conclusive evidence, Boss Hong doesn't believe it, you can go to the prison to ask Mrs. Seven, she has confessed. ”

Hong Wanfu gritted his teeth, forcibly endured the mood of shooting the case, and said fiercely: "In this matter, Hong is grateful to Lord Yang for caring about Hong's family affairs, and he does not hesitate to send people to keep an eye on all of Hong's wives every day, how can he think that Lord Yang is cheating for personal gain?" Speaking of which, we talked about it not long ago, about Yang Gongzi bullying people and beating a hawker to a serious injury, but he only lost two taels of silver, and it is likely to be sued in the capital. ”

"Today I came to visit Shopkeeper Lin, and there are delicacies all over the table in front of me, what's the point of talking about that kind of thing out of nothing?" Yang Yankang shook his head with a smile.

"But how did Hong hear that someone got the evidence?" Hong Wanfu chased after him.

"It's just fabricated, not to mention suing the capital, even if it is suing the palace." Yang Yankang's words were scorching: "This official is not worried, framing is framing, the emperor is wise and martial, and he will definitely see everything." ”

"It seems that Lord Yang believes in Ling Gongzi's personality very much?" Hong Wanfu said with a smile.

"Although the dog is not a weapon, it is not enough to do such a thing." Yang Yankang said lightly: "People who make something out of nothing will be found out sooner or later." ”

"I'm afraid that Lord Yang believes in Ling Gongzi too much, as far as Hong knows, although Ling Gongzi has only been in Lingnan City for a few months with Lord Yang, his reputation is extremely bad." Hong Wanfu said with a smile: "This kind of thing should only be regarded as a trivial matter, just what Hong has heard, there are no less than six or seven cases." It's just that the evidence has not been obtained, and it is not known whether it is true or not. ”

"Boss Hong is too worried, and for the dog, the official is a little confident. Those crimes fabricated out of thin air are just that the official has caused the dogs. As a parent official, if you want to be fair and honest, you will inevitably offend some businessmen with bad intentions. Yang Yankang shook his head slowly.

If this is the case, Hong may be too worried. However, it may not be without cause......"

On the side, Lin Dong leisurely watched the two of them come and go, for a while it was Yang Yankang who took the initiative and constantly suppressed Hong Wanfu, and for a while it was Hong Wanfu who grabbed the counterattack and constantly suppressed Yang Yankang, and then turned around...... From beginning to end, Lin Dong didn't say a word, as if he hadn't seen anything, hadn't heard anything, and studied the wine glass in his hand.

Chen Yantian, who was not far away, also didn't say a word, not that he didn't want to open his mouth to help Yang Yankang, but that he didn't dare. He believed that once he spoke, there was no doubt that Lin Dong would suppress him.

Chen Yantian was afraid that once he was pressed out of his anger by Lin Dong, he couldn't help but fight back. If this is really the case, Lin Dong will be biased towards Hong Wanfu, and let the Hua family send people to the Tianlai gambling house to smash the field in three days, and if he can't make up for it afterwards, this incident will definitely become the biggest regret in his life.

Twenty days ago, Lin Dong was heavily suppressed in the Chen Mansion, and Chen Yantian already admitted that he had done the most regrettable thing in his life, and he didn't want to regret anything more than this. In particular, this more regrettable thing also came from Lin Dong.

Last time, it was forgivable when I didn't know that there was a flower family behind Lin Dong, but this time, it was unforgivable.

After Hong Wanfu broke the jar and broke it, and no longer regarded Yang Yankang as a character who could not be offended, the two were on equal footing, and no one could help anyone. Finally, the duel between Yang Yankang and Hong Wanfu slowly subsided. Undoubtedly, after fighting for so long, the object of today's wooing is fine, and there is no sign of favoring anyone, which makes the two feel bored.

At this time, the guy has been here five times, and the number of dishes on the table has increased to more than a dozen.

Because of his cultivation, Lin Dong usually works as a shopkeeper, and all trivial matters are left to Ma Chun to deal with, but for the inn's wine and food, guys, competitors' information and other information, it can definitely be described as knowing everything about it.

Lin Dong can talk about these more than a dozen dishes, from its origin to the detailed amount of various ingredients and seasonings.

With these dozen dishes, there is no need to worry about cold at all, enough to wait for the other fourteen dishes to be delivered.

When the other fourteen dishes are delivered, you can talk for more than half an hour, and if there are other topics in between, there is no problem in delaying for an hour or two. If Hong Wanfu and Yang Yankang fight again, it will be easy in two or three hours.

As for the settlement fee, Lin Dong is not in a hurry, the ones who are anxious are Yang Yankang, Chen Yantian and Hong Wanfu, the longer it drags on, although it wastes a little time on cultivation, the easier it is to find the opportunity to have both fish and bear's paws.

Soon, the objects of the gushing changed from Yang Yankang and Hong Wanfu to Lin Dong, and these two became foils. As for Chen Yantian, he still kept his mouth shut, didn't eat, drink, or speak, looked at his nose and his nose, and looked at his heart, if it weren't for the occasional beating of his eyelids, he would be like a humanoid statue.

The twenty-four dishes came up in turn in Lin Dong's introduction and the harmony of Yang Yankang and Hong Wanfu, and in the Lin Ji Inn, except for a few guys who were guarding the box, they had all gone back to rest. Outside the inn, the starry sky was sky, and it was already late at night.

After talking about the twenty-four dishes, Lin Dong then chatted with Yang Yankang about the officialdom. Seeing that things seemed to be endless, Yang Yankang and the three of them couldn't sit still.

After chatting for a while, while Lin Dong was looking for a topic, Yang Yankang hurriedly preemptively said: "Shopkeeper Lin, it's not too early, I won't go again, I'm afraid I won't be able to go to church tomorrow." ”

"Look at me, I actually forgot that Lord Juntai still has to go to the court." Lin Dong patted his head, got up with a smile and said, "Since this is the case, Lin Dong is not good to stay, and Lord Juntai often comes when he is free." ”

"Definitely, definitely!" Yang Yankang stood up and said casually: "By the way, Shopkeeper Lin, I almost forgot about a trivial matter." ”

"A trifle? What trifle? Lin Dong said with a puzzled expression.

"It's Boss Chen's Tianlai Gambling House, I hope Shopkeeper Lin can say hello to the Hua family, this matter, that's it." Yang Yankang's gaze swept towards Chen Yantian.

Chen Yantian took out two exquisite brocade boxes from the storage spirit ring and stepped forward to put them in front of Lin Dong.

"What is this?" Lin Dong looked puzzled.

"It is part of the income from the gambling game for most of the month, only two million taels of silver, and I hope that the shopkeeper Lin will not be too little." Chen Yantian hurriedly explained.

"Huh?" Lin Dong said with a surprised face: "Boss Chen, don't you don't talk about things when you eat?" ”

Chen Yantian's face sank, gritted his teeth, and arched his hand: "What happened last time was Chen's fault, and I hope that Shopkeeper Lin can ignore his past suspicions and forgive Chen for being blind." ”

"Are you worthy?" Lin Dong sneered and stared at Chen Yantian, as soon as he made a move, it was two million taels of silver, and he didn't mention anything about suppressing the Hongfu gambling house, which strengthened his determination to carry out Chen Yantian's plan to the end. Lin Dong believed that the first bid that Chen Yantian had thought of before coming should be a brocade box of one million taels of silver. It is worth wasting a few hours to let Chen Yantian double the psychological price.

"Lin Dong!"

Chen Yantian's eyes suddenly ignited a raging flame. Clenched his fists tightly, and if he didn't agree with a word, he couldn't help but smash Lin Dong to pieces with a punch.

Lin Dong casually picked up a brocade box, knocked on the tabletop, and threw it at Chen Yantian's face.

Bang!

After the brocade box hit Chen Yantian's cheek, it rolled to the ground, and the lid of the box was only a little loose.

Without Yang Yankang's reminder, Chen Yantian suddenly softened like a deflated ball.

In his previous attitude, he didn't lose his mind, he just wanted to test and tempt, once this Lin shopkeeper was afraid, he didn't need to spend much money, he asked a few thugs to secretly arrest him, and then forced him to compromise. What Chen Yantian didn't expect was that the ruthlessness of this shopkeeper Lin could actually compete with the mountain bandits, and he was not affected at all, and even made a bigger provocation.

In fact, what Chen Yantian didn't expect was that he really wanted to punch out, Lin Dong would endure this punch in order to hide his strength, but afterwards he would keep it for the rest of his life, and he could only hold chopsticks with his left hand.

"Shopkeeper Lin, what are you doing here? Boss Chen's kindness, why refuse people thousands of miles away? Yang Yankang picked up the brocade box with a smile, put it next to another brocade box, and made a sound.

"In that case, then you're welcome."

Lin Dong smiled and took the two brocade boxes and stuffed them into the large pocket on the inside of the sleeve. After the two brocade boxes were stuffed, the entire right arm had become a lot thicker.

Seeing that Lin Dong accepted the brocade box, Yang Yankang breathed a sigh of relief, the crisis of the Tianlai Gambling House was settled, and next, it should be Hongfu Gambling House.

Yang Yankang looked at Hong Wanfu who was calmly treated, frowning slightly, a little unclear why he could be so calm. I can't think of it, Yang Yankang had to put it aside for the time being, and said: "Shopkeeper Lin, I want to talk to you about some private matters, I don't know if Shopkeeper Lin can borrow a step to speak?" ”

"Absolutely." Lin Dong looked at Hong Wanfu with a smile: "I'll go out with Lord Juntai first, and Boss Hong will wait for Lin Dong for a while?" ”

"Lord Kodai, can you wait for me for a moment?"

He said politely, but Hong Wanfu's movements were not polite, and without waiting for Yang Yankang to nod, he took out a brocade box from the storage spirit ring and put it on the table.

Glancing at Yang Yankang and Chen Yantian, Hong Wanfu smiled, opened his right palm, and took out another brocade box.

The two brocade boxes are obviously larger than the brocade boxes that Chen Yantian took out.

"Shopkeeper Lin, like Boss Chen, is a part of the profits of the gambling game, only four million taels, I hope Shopkeeper Lin will not dislike it." Hong Wanfu arched his hand.

"Where, where!" Lin Dong unceremoniously grabbed one in one hand and two brocade boxes in his hands.

Chen Yantian and Yang Yankang glanced at each other, and they both saw helplessness in each other's eyes.

The profit of the gambling house is indeed the highest in all industries, and the Tianlai gambling house has indeed surpassed the Hongfu gambling house and has become the number one gambling house in Lingnan City. But the foundation of Tianlai Gambling House is far inferior to Hongfu Gambling House. Spelling silver is absolutely unbeatable.

Chen Yantian believes that in the storage spirit ring on Hong Wanfu's index finger, there are definitely no less than a dozen such brocade boxes. The reason is that there are also more than a dozen brocade boxes in the storage spirit ring in his hand.

Even if he carries more silver tickets than Hong Wanfu, Chen Yantian doesn't want to be this kind of wrongdoer. Tianlai Gambling House is not Hongfu Gambling Workshop, even if the Hua family also lets Hongfu Gambling Workshop go, Tianlai Gambling House still has a certain chance of defeating Hongfu Gambling Workshop.

However, Hongfu Gambling House has a reason to grit its teeth and hold on, and now, this is almost the only chance for Hongfu Gambling House to turn the tide. For Hongfu Gambling House, as long as the Tianlai Gambling House can be collapsed, it may not be cost-effective to hollow out the family funds for more than 20 years, but it is completely worth taking out half of the belongings and 120 million taels of silver.

The money in the gambling house does not fall from the sky, and it can be said that although the profit of the gambling house is high, the risk is also the highest in all industries. If you really want to spend tens of millions of taels of silver just to spell out peace, not to mention that you can't take it out, you can take it out, and Chen Yantian will definitely not take it out. He would rather go to other county towns for development, as long as he finds the largest gambling house and the county is not too close to the county seat, and the county is familiar with Yang Yankang, although it is not as convenient as in Lingnan City, it is better than giving away the profits for three or five years in one go. Moreover, this profit can only be achieved under the premise that Lingnan City does not have too many competitors.

This also means that if Lin Dong really puts silver first, the Tianlai Gambling House will undoubtedly fall.

Chen Yantian once again offended Lin Dong last time, and regretted that his intestines were as uncomfortable as being rolled together and constantly tightened. If he had known that Lin Dong would have such a backer, and his surname was so tough, he would not have desperately suppressed Lin Dong in order to monopolize all the profits of the gambling competition.

But this kind of thing, who can guess. Whether it is a newcomer businessman who will have a strong relationship with a big family, or a profit-seeking businessman who will not hesitate to make a feud with all the gambling houses in order to take a breath.

"Shopkeeper Lin, I don't know if I have time, I have some personal matters I want to talk to Shopkeeper Lin." As Yang Yankang and the others expected, Hong Wanfu took the opportunity to strike first.

"Lord Juntai has a private matter to talk to me, and Boss Hong also has a private matter to talk to me, I think ......" Lin Dong suddenly smiled and said: "Why don't you talk about the surname Suo here?" ”

The corners of the three of them twitched, this is a blatant effort to let the two sides pinch each other, and then sit on the fisherman's advantage, Lin Shopkeeper, ruthless enough.

Hong Wanfu gritted his teeth, four million taels of silver, although it was twice as high as the price that was taken out for the first time in the projection, but it was much less than the bottom line set when he came, as long as the goal could be achieved, since Shopkeeper Lin wanted it, it was better to go with his wish.

"Okay, Shopkeeper Lin...... Hong Wanfu took out a brocade box again in the storage spirit ring, swept his eyes on the faces of Yang Yankang and Chen Yantian, and put it on the table: "Boss Chen's share, I came out for him." ”

Yang Yankang and the others had nothing to do, they could only stare at Lin Dong tightly, their hearts were uneasy, and Chen Yantian was sweating like rain in an instant, lest Lin Dong agree.

"This ......" In the three of them holding their breath and their eyes nervous, Lin Dong smiled helplessly: "Can Boss Hong let me think about it?" ”

Call...... Yang Yankang and the others exhaled as if they were in prostration.

Hong Wanfu was nervous, and without any hesitation, he took out a brocade box again and put it on the table.

Lin Dong shook his head with a smile and pushed back the two brocade boxes.

"These two brocade boxes, Boss Hong took them back first, and the other two, as well as the two sent by Boss Chen, I haven't figured out who should return them back. It's not too late, so I'll take the other four brocade boxes for the time being, and I'll give you an answer tomorrow, what do you think? Lin Dong said slowly.

"Shopkeeper Lin......"

On Hong Wanfu's right palm, there was an extra brocade box again, but Lin Dong directly shook his head and refused.

His eyes swept over the faces of Yang Yankang and Chen Yantian, who seemed to be happy and worried, and finally fixed on Yang Yankang's face, Lin Dong spoke: "Lord Juntai, what do you think of my proposal?" ”

Yang Yankang had a little calculation in his heart, and when Chen Yantian was about to speak, he resolutely said: "Just Yilin is the shopkeeper." ”

"Boss Hong, what about you?" Lin Dong put the two brocade boxes sent by Hong Wanfu on the table, it looked like he had taken it for too long, but with the ability of Hong Wanfu and the three of them, it was natural to see that there was a threat in it.

"Shopkeeper Yilin!" Hong Wanfu's eyes were bloodshot, and he struggled extremely in his heart, wanting to take the silver ticket to make a break today, but he didn't dare to anger Lin Dong.

Lin Dong picked up the two brocade boxes that Hong Wanfu took out after that, stuffed them back to Hong Wanfu, and said, "In this case, Lord Juntai, Boss Hong, please!" ”

The three of them couldn't figure out what Lin Dong meant, but they had to squeeze out a smile, and under Lin Dong's warm and kind words, they went downstairs to the lobby, and after the door opened, they were sent to the carriage that was parked outside the door and stood by at any time.

Seeing the two carriages disappear into the night in different directions, the smile on Lin Dong's face was much more natural than before.

While Yang Yankang and the others were waiting for themselves to make a decision, Lin Dong finally thought of a way to have both fish and bear's paws.
