Chapter 45: The Casino
Han Wuye's voice made Murong Yuhua's face freeze, and his hand subconsciously touched the knife on his waist, but was lightly knocked by the little old man with a cane.
"Li Handong, who killed it?"
The moment his cane struck Murong Yuhua's body, Gu San's muzzle was already aimed at him. Han Wuye was not in a hurry, and turned to her with a pair of slitted eyes, "Is it really you?" ”
"Li Handong, I killed it. His housekeeper, I tied it. Gu San held Xiao Sui'er in one hand, pressed her head on his shoulder, and carried the gun in the other, "I gave the answer you wanted." Can we enter this door or not? ”
"Miss Zhou is so courageous. If your father had your momentum, he would not gamble and owe money and debts to consume the entire Zhou family. Han Wuye chuckled, slammed his cane to the ground, and met her muzzle, "It's not that I don't want to help you." Now your heads are worth gold, and they have arrested you, but they are fifty taels of gold. What do you think I'm going to do with this business? ”
Gu San said, "You will help us." ”
"Oh?"
Murong Yuhua said on the side: "If the fifth master wants to betray us, we won't be able to leave the dock at the beginning." ”
"Maybe I'm just here to let you obediently into the urn."
"The fifth master is a businessman. I won't go around the bush with you either. Murong Yuhua turned sideways and pressed Gu San's gun down slightly, "Li Handong is dead, and his sons don't seem to be able to stand up." But whoever can afford to buy fifty taels of gold for our head will naturally have five hundred taels of gold. ”
"Mr. Murong is still a bandit?"
"The fifth master is an old businessman, we don't have a choice in this world right now, wealth and danger are sought, you bet, if I win this trip, I will thank you again for helping him this day." Even if I lose, it's too late for you to take our heads for money. ”
The fifth master looked at him and didn't speak for a long time, as if he was thinking about it.
Murong Yuhua said again, "I am now living and dying, but wealth is in the sky, Fifth Master, this business will not lose money for you, what do you think?" ”
Han Wuye said coldly: "You kid want to be the king and hegemon in this place?" ”
Murong Yuhua laughed out loud for a while, and raised his face to reveal a smile like Zhang Shiyu, "Who doesn't want to be the king and dominate?" It's impossible for the money, the woman, the guns and the bullets for their family to go, right? ”
"If you have this heart, why do you need to go down the mountain? I heard that Mr. Murong Xiao didn't even dare to kill people when you were on the mountain, and now you have this courage? ”
"There is no need to kill people if they don't kill before. I'm just trying to get my hands on it. Besides, why should I do it when I don't have to? Murong Yuhua was sincere, and he finally asked, "How is it, Fifth Master, do you agree?" ”
Han Wuye stopped talking, got out of the way and gave them a way to go inside. When he let him, he just showed the men and horses guarding behind him, a row of five people, each with a gun in his hand, and a few people in black shirts standing upstairs with guns staring.
Those who Meng Lang were entangled, those who gambled with their heads down, and those who gathered to push Pai Gow also gathered around the window to watch, if there was a real conflict, Gu San and Murong Yuhua were afraid that they would not be able to retreat at all under the eyes of everyone.
Han Wuye deliberately let Murong Yuhua and Gu San take a look, and they just negotiated it because he sold them a face. Han Wuye raised his hand and waved it lightly, and the thugs who were guarding behind him withdrew, and the people who were standing by the window and in the corridor to watch the excitement also dispersed.
This place is full of eyes, but under the same interests, everyone turns a blind eye. The people who talk are willing to protect them, and the other minions don't dare to do it for the time being, and they still understand the rules in the end.
Murong Yuhua finally breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at Gu San, and the two of them stepped into the door with the child in their arms.
Entering the door is a patio, with large water tanks in the four corners, a total of four floors, each floor is brightly lit, and you can hear the noise of life inside. Han Wuye pointed to the corridor on the left, "Go upstairs here, the innermost room on the third floor is still empty." I took you in, and you hid it yourself, my people, I told you, if you show your feet again, don't blame me for being the first to sell you then. ”
Murong Yuhua respectfully bowed his hand to him, "Thank you, Fifth Master." After saying this, he was going to take Gu San and Xiao Sui'er upstairs, but Han Wuye seemed to remember something, and asked from behind him, "Who is this child?" You can't really be the concubine of the eldest lady of the Zhou family. If the child is the two of you, it is impossible not to be able to wear the slightest noise. ”
Murong Yuhua took Xiao Sui'er back from Gu San's arms and returned to Han Wuye, "The child is indeed not ours. ”
"Whose is that?"
"My brother, Muyon's." When Murong Yuhua said this, his eyes darkened, "Because I attracted a strong wind and led people over, it made their husband and wife ......"
"I don't need to say any more. If you make a mistake once, don't do it a second time. Mr. Murong, I still appreciate your character, but you are indecisive, and everyone understands this matter from the bottom of their hearts. I will help you at most this time, the future is the future, everyone has to live, if you play the wrong chess, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people at that time. ”
"Fifth master, rest assured, the younger generation has always known about this matter."
This is the end of the matter. Han Wuye didn't answer again, nor did he look at him anymore, a few maidservants came up and turned around with him. The old man walked slowly across the patio on crutches to the antechamber.
After Han Wuye left, Gu Sancai and Murong Yuhua spoke, "Are you lying to him?" ”
"You have to give him a reason, otherwise it would be so easy to get in. Moreover, when someone starts bleeding and starts dying, it means that no one can get out of it. If you want it all to end, you can only win. And we need to contend with the army, defeating an army that is obviously outnumbered, even if it is not very well trained. Murong Yuhua looked at her, "Therefore, we need a plan." A plan that will make everyone as rebels as you are. ”
"I'm not a rebel, I'm just a murderer. You don't have to impose pointless heroic reveries on me, it has nothing to do with me. I was just reacting instinctively to save my life and keep myself safe. But Gu San seemed to have found that point worth laughing about, "However, it seems that Mr. Murong Xiao intends to be the new ruler after the victory?" ”
Murong Yuhua smiled awkwardly when he heard this, "I have to find a reason that can make Fifth Master Han believe, and let him make sure that if he helps me, I can actually get benefits in the end, right?" ”
"And what about power?" Gu San asked, "Are you really not at all eager for the power you get after defeating this group of bullies?" ”
Murong Yuhua shook his head.
"Power is an empty dream for those who truly want all people to live equally."
"Don't you want to pursue justice and freedom? If you can capture these, you may be closer to your goal - and being in power is certainly much more than being a bandit. ”
"But it's not power that's really meaningful – it's the people who can finally live freely and equally. In this regard, it doesn't matter at all whether I'm a bandit or a new warlord. To be a leader or a monarch? No, that's really not what I want. If I want to be a monarch, I will eventually start to fear those who covet my power and wealth. Only with nothing will you not be afraid of coveting. And those who watched money and power from the beginning will only die for money and power in the end. ”
"Then it sounds like you shouldn't be a bandit."
Murong Yuhua looked at her curiously.
Gu San said, "You should go and be a beggar." ”
"There's nothing wrong with being a beggar, it's better to be a stinky person than a scumbag."
He stepped up the stairs step by step, and the people who were going up and down the stairs on both sides of him stopped when they saw him and the two of them going upstairs, and looked at them with scrutiny of their eyes. It wasn't until they reached the third floor and turned a corner, and there were many fewer people on the side, that they finally threw away these scrutinizing eyes a little.
After entering this building, Gu San quickly analyzed the best escape route as soon as possible. There are three stairs in the square corridor here, and the corridors are piled up with debris, and some roads are easy to be blocked by encirclement. But fortunately, the height is not too high, and if an accident really happens, even if you turn over and jump, it is not impossible.
It looks like both a casino and a smoke house. There was a subtle sweet smell floating in the air, and some yellow-faced, thin-skinned, and blank-eyed people walked through the corridors. As if noticing her looking around, Murong Yuhua explained to her, "Fifth Master Han does everything at the docks. This small building is more and more miscellaneous than the outside, and some rooms upstairs and downstairs are rented out, and the five masters take a cut. There are those who buy and sell skin and meat, those who make big cigarettes, and those who make human teeth. ”
"You've been here before? Why does he call you Mr. Little? ”
"I have read the accounts for the fifth master, written the party, and acted as a translator for him and drafted the deed."
"No wonder. Mr. Murong Xiao is a cultural person. ”
"I know you don't mean to praise me sincerely. are all bandits, and people of all religions and nine streams naturally try their best to get acquainted. ”
"I guess your relationship with the Fifth Master is more than that."
Murong Yuhua didn't hide it when he heard this, "The dock personnel come and go, and the news is complicated. Sometimes when you step on the point, you come to the fifth master first. Of course, if you succeed, you have to give him benefits. We call this 'pulling the line' in the way. And when it is done, you must honor him. ”
"No wonder he said yes so quickly."
"After all, the people here have been dissatisfied with Li Handong for a long time." Between the two of them, they had arrived at the door of Han Wuye's hut, and Murong Yuhua pushed the door in and looked around. It's not a big place, just a bed. After he entered the house, he put Xiao Sui'er on the bed, and said to Gu San, "You sleep with Sui'er, and I'll make a bunk on the floor." ”
