Chapter 42 Food, Clothing, and Parents
Zhang Xuan was not in a hurry and walked out slowly.
"Zhang Xuan, your grandson, my Angkor is here, I think you still dare to be scared." Mr. Wu's waist pole is completely stiff, Wu Xiaotian is his cousin, he can mix like a fish in water in the gambling house in the west of the city, that is not because his cousin is the leader of the Qingshui County Law Enforcement Team.
In that era, the gun was the real strength, so Wu Zongtou because of this relationship, no one dared to offend in Qingshui County, and the most important thing was that the gambling house had to pay Wu Xiaotian a dividend of 100,000 taels of silver a year, so the gambling house in the west of the city actually relied on Wu Xiaotian to survive.
Now that someone runs out to kick the field, Wu Xiaotian can't ignore it!
"Slap" A slap fell on Mr. Wu's face, and Wu Xiaotian scolded Mr. Wu: "Shut up!" ”
"Ah...... Elder brother...... How are you hitting me? ”
"Made, offend Master Zhang Xuan, you don't want to live anymore." Wu Xiaotian's face darkened.
"......" Mr. Wu looked surprised, this ...... Where did the young man come from, his cousin is the military master of Qingshui County, and even the county officials have to give three points of courtesy when they see him, how can he protect a Taoist priest?
Wu Xiaotian greeted him with a smile: "Master Zhang Xuan, I didn't hurt you, my brother owes a beating, I will clean him up when I go back." ”
At this time, Wu Xiaotian was relieved, no wonder how Ah Wei's waist was straight today, this was getting closer to Zhang Xuan.
Wu Xiaotian has fully recovered now because Zhang Xuan saved his mother, and he has been thinking about Zhang Xuan and wants to visit, but there are many things to do in the past few days, and he plans to go in a few days. Of course, the most important thing is that his wife's illness is cured, but his dream has evolved more and more real.
Sometimes when he woke up, he could see his deceased old mother standing outside the window, staring at him fiercely, and almost scared him to death several times.
"So you opened this casino?" In a situation like this, in fact, it is not strange, the gambling house can do business with swagger, there must be someone to support it, but Zhang Xuan didn't expect that this person was actually Wu Xiaotian.
There was no holiday between him and Wu Xiaotian, so why did he send someone to assassinate him?
Of course, Wu Xiaotian still had to ask Zhang Xuan, so he hurriedly replied: "Where, it's just that my cousin is doing things here, where will the gambling house offend you in the future, you notify me, I will personally bring someone over to rectify it, Master Zhang Xuan is so busy, like this kind of thing, it is more appropriate for us to come forward." ”
"I want to too, but the Chengxi Gambling House has found trouble for me again and again, and sent people to kill me again and again, and I have been forced to be helpless." Zhang Xuan rolled his eyes and replied.
Wu Xiaotian gritted his teeth and immediately called his cousin: "Say, why are you looking for trouble for Master Zhang Xuan?" ”
Mr. Wu saw that his eldest brother was respectful to Zhang Xuan, so he honestly explained: "It's not me looking for trouble, it's Boss Xue...... Yes! ”
"It's Xue Guizhong who is making trouble, why?"
"Boss Xue and Uncle Nine are rivals, once the two of them seemed to have a grudge, not long ago, Uncle Nine sent Zhang Xuan to our casino to win money, which angered Boss Xue, so he retaliated, that's all I know."
"It turned out to be Boss Xue, or a personal grudge, Master Zhang Xuan, it seems that I can't interfere in this matter." When Wu Xiaotian heard that it was Xue Guizhong, he didn't dare to squeak, after all, that person was cruel, and he was a well-known master of evil arts in Qingshui County, and he was very good at spells.
Although Wu Xiaotian knew that Xue Guizhong was good at spells, but his daughter-in-law was like that, he didn't dare to ask him to deal with it, which showed that Wu Xiaotian was afraid of Xue Guizhong.
"And the gambling house?" Zhang Xuan was also not polite, and asked directly.
Wu Xiaotian pondered for a while and said, "Brother, you come with me." ”
Wu Xiaotian took Zhang Xuan to a room, he sent Zhang Xuan a cigarette, Zhang Xuan shook his head, Wu Xiaotian lit a cigarette by himself, and said: "Brother, the gambling house can't be down, you also know, now the war is in chaos, the income of the farmers is not high, the tax burden for a year can not support all public officials, the expenses of the security team basically come from a few gambling houses and Yihong Courtyard, although this does sound like that, but these places are indeed our food and clothing." ”
This answer is absolutely amazing, Zhang Xuan couldn't help but roll his eyes, it seems that this world is really ridiculous.
In this case, there is no need for Zhang Xuan to close the gambling house: "The gambling house can stay, but the boss has to be replaced." ”
"Okay, this is okay, as long as Master Zhang Xuan gets rid of Xue Guizhong, you can let whoever you want to do, don't forget to make an annual offering." For Wu Xiaotian, in fact, it doesn't matter who is in charge, the most important thing is to be able to supply the normal silver, which is fine.
Zhang Xuan stood at the door and called Mr. Wu, who no longer dared to slack off, and quickly came in: "Master Zhang Xuan, do you have something to do with me?" ”
"Do you want to be a casino owner?"
"Yes."
"Cooperate with me to get rid of Xue Guizhong, and the gambling house will be yours." Zhang Xuan is very resistant to this kind of place because he has received a modern education, so in exchange, he hopes to get the cooperation of President Wu.
"Okay, Master Zhang Xuan, you tell me, let me do it?" Mr. Wu greeted him with a smile.
"Tell me Ren Tingting's whereabouts."
"Okay, Boss Xue and the wolf demon took Ren Tingting away together, he should have taken him to the deserted village, in the past, he got rid of some people, all in the deserted village."
The deserted village, just three miles away from the county seat, where there was a plague, no one in the village survived, it has been abandoned for many years, some people on the road killed people, and they were basically transported to the deserted village, which was basically a dead man's pit, and the bones were all over the field.
"Where?"
"I can't say this, but he has explained that as long as Uncle Nine comes, he will bring Uncle Nine over, and they will wait in the deserted village."
"......" Zhang Xuan fell into deep thought.
After a while, Zhang Xuan responded: "Let's go, take me over." ”
"However, he said that if the person who came was not Uncle Jiu, they would tear up the ticket!"
"That's going to be hard!" Zhang Xuan pondered for a while, do you want to bring Uncle Nine out?
I don't know how Uncle Jiu is cultivating now, whether he can walk, if he can, the next thing can be handed over to him to deal with.
Zhang Xuan thought about it, but still felt that he should go to Uncle Nine's side.
A moment later, Zhang Xuan appeared at the door of the medical hall, it was late at night, and he didn't see those few lurking crises, so Zhang Xuan knocked on the door directly.
After a while, the lights in the hospital hall came on.
"It's so late, why are you here?" Opening the door, the doctor looked a little surprised.
"What's wrong with my senior brother, I want to see him."
"Oh, there must be something important in the big night, come on!"
Uncle Nine was still lying on the bed, but he had improved significantly, and when he saw Zhang Xuan visiting late at night, he sat up: "Senior brother, are you causing trouble again?" ”
