Chapter 120 Apology
After coming back, Yuan Zheng and Li Chen were not very happy.
The casino is the fastest place to make money, but you can't go every day, and if you win money every day, it will inevitably make people suspicious.
In the study, the candles were bright, and Yuan Zheng first asked Li Chen to read the "Book of Songs" and "Chu Ci" silently.
These days, Li Chen is not a single character of Douda, at least he can know most of the "Book of Songs" and "Chu Ci".
Yuan Zheng made a pot of tea, and the last bit of tea was gone, and he had to go out to buy it tomorrow after drinking.
The current family is enough for them to live for a while, without wasting it.
After a long time, Li Chen put down the book and said softly: "After reading, is the next thing to practice calligraphy or?"
When I first bought books, I also bought three miscellaneous books.
"Drunken Life and Dream Death", "A Thousand Machine Changes", "Hundred Ghosts Night Walking".
Yuan Zheng said: "You look at these three miscellaneous books and read them silently, in fact, these three books are bought at random, there are many words in them, you shouldn't know them, recognize all the words in these three books, and you can almost practice the "Seal of Life and Death". ”
The most taboo thing about practicing the exercises is that you can't understand it thoroughly, you can't recognize all the words, and you can't understand many words that don't reach your meaning.
Li Chen snorted and picked up "Hundred Ghosts Night Walking".
Yuan Zheng reminded on the side: "In these three books, almost all the rare characters are included, and many words in the local dialect are in them. ”
Li Chen began to read silently very regularly, it was indeed very difficult at the beginning, and he didn't know a word, but as he knew more words, that kind of discomfort gradually disappeared.
Reading this kind of thing, see who reads it.
Some people read books, just like Li Chen, and can recognize all the words.
And some people read books, it is true that there is Yan Ruyu in the book, and there is a golden house in the book.
Bang Bang Bang!
The knocker was knocked, and Yuan Zheng said to Li Chen with a calm face: "Continue reading." ”
Youyuan is here, and there is almost nothing to do with Li Chen.
Yuan Zheng took a sip of tea, and he was not in a hurry to open the door, this point will naturally not be the owner, and it should have something to do with the two strong men.
Now their whereabouts have been figured out.
The underworld heroes in Xianyang are very familiar with every brick and tile in Xianyang, and it is not difficult to find a place for a person to stay.
He took a sip of tea, then another sip and didn't hear the knock on the knocker outside.
Yuan Zheng got up and went outside to open the door.
The courtyard will cool up at night, and the summer evening breeze is quite penetrating.
Coming to the instrument gate, Yuan Zheng opened the instrument door calmly.
There were three people standing outside, led by a middle-aged man, dressed in brocade and jade belts, with a stubble on his face and a strong figure.
Behind him were two young men, dressed in ordinary plain clothes, carrying things in their hands.
Yuan Zheng glanced at it and said, "It's dark, and I don't know you, why do you want to visit here?"
Seeing this, the middle-aged man stepped forward slightly, hugged his fists, squeezed out a far-fetched smile, and said: "Before, my two blind-eyed subordinates offended Childe, thanks to Childe's mercy, otherwise the two of them would not be able to survive." ”
"I also know that what we did was very undignified, so I brought a little heart to make amends. ”
The two young men handed the things in their hands to the middle-aged man, and the middle-aged man offered them with both hands, waiting for Yuan Zheng to take over.
After taking a look, there are good Daqin Maojian, as well as a bottle of good Gufeng wine, as well as six gold ingots and six silver ingots, which are quite neatly matched.
Seeing that Yuan Zheng had not taken over for a long time, the middle-aged man's heart was a little panicked.
He learned from his buddy that this son at least had an elephant realm cultivation, or even more than that.
At such a young age, he has a strong martial arts cultivation, and his family's foundation is naturally excellent.
Although the imperial power and the society are not separated from each other in Daqin, some wealthy families are members of the royal family, and they can also accommodate a lot, and if it is too heavy, it can't be said too much.
He lowered his head and said very humbly: "Please also ask Childe to smile, as long as Childe is willing to forgive us, we are willing to pay any price." ”
Mixing in the underworld, observing words and colors is the least point, if you can't even see the essence of a person, then there is no way to mix, and when you die, you don't know how you died.
Yuan Zheng has no sorrow or joy, and even a little helpless.
In Da Wei's words, Yuan Zheng did have such confidence, but in Daqin, he really didn't dare to hold it up, and he was also frightened by the serious attitude of this middle-aged man.
As the concubine of the Martial King, this middle-aged man had something in his heart, and he probably knew it in his heart.
He was not in a hurry to stretch out his hand to accept the other party's gift, but asked: "I don't know much about Xianyang, on the underworld, it is roughly divided into several gangs?"
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, but he didn't dare to delay for too long, let alone laugh at Yuan Zheng's understanding of the market.
replied honestly: "Roughly divided into three, Wuwei Gang, Shuiyunsha, Whale Gate, we are from Wuwei Gang." ”
Wu Wei Gang is taken from the Taoist rule of Wu Wei.
In the end, it is Xianyang, and even the name of the gang of the underworld heroes has allusions to be checked.
Yuan Zheng reached out and took the other party's gift, and was worried that there would be no tea to drink tomorrow.
The middle-aged man's hanging heart finally let go, the underworld Haoqiang is not in the scope of the protection of the Great Qin Iron Cavalry, he is dead when he dies, he knows very well that the son in front of him is a typical type of rivers and lakes that are higher than temples.
At least the Wuwei Gang, which is higher than them, is really going to offend and die, and it is a blow to the Wuwei Gang.
The rivers and lakes are different from the underworld.
The rivers and lakes are chasing fame and fortune, but it is more about chasing divine weapons, chasing fame, chasing higher martial arts cultivation, maybe one day, he will be accepted as a closed disciple by a bad old man who is about to die, and it just so happens that the bad old man is still a peerless master.
The underworld Haoqiang is different, casinos and Qinglou are the main sources of income, and occasionally collect tribute money from the rest of the small gangs.
There is no such lofty pursuit of ideals, as long as real money.
Although most of them live a decent life, they dare not provoke the masters on the rivers and lakes, and the people in the temples do not dare to provoke, neither end is a person, and in the end they can only be a man with their tails between their legs.
But for ordinary people, especially those whose families are not very rich, it basically represents the royal law.
The middle-aged man bowed slightly, and said with his hands: "I hope that Childe can ignore his past suspicions, and if he needs me to help him in the future, just open his mouth." ”
Yuan Zheng hummed and asked curiously: "Those two strong men are still twins, I want to know, did they come to knock me on the bamboo pole by themselves, or did you instruct me, although the matter has passed, but the specific details, I haven't figured it out yet." ”
Cold sweat oozed from the middle-aged man's forehead, and the two young men behind him were beating drums in their hearts.
This young boy didn't look very good, but they knew very well that this was a humanoid beast, and once he did it, he could kill the three of them in an instant.
The middle-aged man said in a trembling voice: "I instructed it, the harvest of the son in the Dafeng casino is good, although I am the principal of the Dafeng casino, but recently because of gambling, most of the public funds have been consumed, and on the first day of the first month of the next month, I will have to pay the account to the people above, I am anxious for a while, so I made this decision." ”
The people in the casino are like this, it seems that the scenery is infinite, and it may even be a question of what to eat and drink at night.
Yuan Zheng had a plan, probably let this middle-aged man ask around for himself to see if there was any trace of the scouts of the Heavenly Demon Sect.
can be the principal of a casino, in the underworld, it can be regarded as relatively open.
But right now, this middle-aged man seems to be unable to protect himself.
Yuan Zheng asked, "What's your name?"
The middle-aged man was drenched in cold sweat and said nervously: "In Xia Yang Sihai." ”
Yuan Zhengdao: "I don't know much about Xianyang, rather than going to those relatives who are officials, I would rather contact people like you, you might as well do things for me, and I will go further in the Wuwei Gang for you." ”
Yang Sihai was a little confused.
He didn't know what this boy was going to do, so he said cautiously: "If it has something to do with the temple, kill me, I really don't have the guts." ”
Yuan Zheng said solemnly: "Recently, the people of the Heavenly Demon Sect have reappeared, I came to Xianyang for this matter, if you can help me pay attention to the scouts of the Heavenly Demon Sect, I will naturally have a heavy reward, but this matter is limited to you and me." ”
When Yang Sihai heard about the Heavenly Demon Sect, he felt a little more at ease, the Heavenly Demon Sect once had a master who assassinated the monarch of Great Qin, but many years have passed since that incident.
Xianyang is a place where the Heavenly Demon Sect can't let go of its hands and feet.
Seeing that this boy didn't look like a pretentious person, he nodded and agreed: "This is okay, I can do my best, after all, I am also the principal of the casino, there are still more than a dozen henchmen who are sharp-eyed and quick-handed, bold and careful, and they can see every move of the entire Xianyang." ”
Yuan Zheng asked, "How many gold ingots do you have to pay on the first day of the next month?"
Yang Sihai replied embarrassedly: "Five hundred big gold ingots, there is still more than half a month before the first day of the next month, I have to find a way to get it, although the casino is said to be lucky, it is no problem to win thousands of big gold ingots, but when it comes to the point, I just don't have that luck, and I have to lose the old capital." ”
"I've been out of courage lately, I'm not lucky, it's better to be safe, even if I can't pay the difference, the big deal is to chop a hand, if I lose more, it may kill me." ”
Yuan Zheng thought about it carefully, this Yang Sihai is obviously the person in charge of the casino, and he also went into battle to gamble in person, such a character is really worrying, but on the underworld, there are not so many rules that do not understand human nature, just do something wrong and pay the price.
He continued to ask: "The demon beast's Neidan, is there a place to make a move in Xianyang City?"
Generally speaking, the inner dan of the demon beast, if it is a powerful demon beast, is still very easy to shoot, and it is worth a lot of money.
However, there are too few useful demon beasts.
Yang Sihai replied truthfully: "Yes, the Inner Dan of highly poisonous things, a piece that can be exchanged for thousands of gold ingots, usually goes to the Xianyang Palace to refine medicine for the royal family and nobles. ”
Yuan Zheng snorted and said: "Let's go, only you and I know about this matter, three days later, I will be here, take Neidan, and take action for me." ”
Yang Sihai bowed deeply, and by mistake met a master, and with an opportunity to make a fortune, he would naturally cherish it.
The most untrustworthy person in this world is gamblers, and the easiest people in this world to control are also gamblers.
Looking at the back of Yang Sihai leaving, a wicked smile hung on the corner of Yuan Zheng's mouth.
Back in the study, Li Chen looked at the miscellaneous books with relish, glanced at Yuan Zheng, and subconsciously asked, "Who is here?"
Yuan Zheng put things on the table, Da Qin Maojian, Gu Feng Wine, and gold and silver ingots.
Said tastelessly: "The two strong men before were on the underworld, and they were conquered by our strength, so they took the initiative to apologize." ”
Li Chen put down the book and said, "Then dare to be kind, now is it a counter-extortion?"
Yuan Zheng said with a dignified expression: "Tomorrow night, let's go to the Dongling Mountain Range to take a look and see if we can get the highly poisonous Nedan, there is a place to shoot, it's not just as simple as knocking back the bamboo bar." ”
Li Chen took the initiative to ask: "When the time comes, I will do all the hard work." ”
Yuan Zheng said with a playful smile: "If you can do it, it's easy to say, but if you can't do it, you still want me to do it." ”
"By the way, there are some things about common sense in the miscellaneous books you read, don't take them too seriously, just know the words, and don't be too attentive to the content. ”
"As far as I know, after devouring the Purple Golden Peng Bird's Inner Dan, you still need to maintain your pure yang body before reaching the Dao Realm. ”
Li Chen: "......"
