289 Righteousness and Wealth (2/2)

"Haha, it's just that you lose a few hundred taels every few days, and after losing, you come to me to ask for a painting."

It's not an option. ”

Zhou Xingzu glanced at Zhu Zhishan, although there are four great talents in Jiangnan, each of them is a prostitute talent. But only Zhu Zhishan is a guy who likes to gamble, and he will lose every time he gambles, and he is a distinguished guest of the major gambling houses in the south of the Yangtze River.

Zhu Zhishan, as Tang Bohu's friend, keenly discovered today that Brother Tang's eyes were unusually sharp.

This made his heart skip a beat, and many of the words that had been prepared in his heart were swallowed back into his mouth.

With a snap, Zhu Zhishan knelt on the ground, hugged Zhou Xingzu's thigh and begged: "Brother Tang, I have lost all 300,000 taels of belongings this time. Now the thugs of the gambling house are waiting for me outside, if I can't get Brother Tang's painting, I will be thrown into the Qiantang River when I go out, and I will never look for my bones again. ”

"Brother Tang, your paintings are worth 10,000 taels, as long as you paint 30 paintings for me, you can help my brother pay off his gambling debts."

"This time you helped my brother through this, and I promise never to gamble again. It's a big deal, I swear a poisonous oath, if I gamble again in the future, I will let the ugliest woman in the world be squeezed day and night until her body is incomplete and crumbling. ”

When Zhou Xingzu heard this line, he still couldn't help but cry in his heart.

Poison, this oath is so poisonous. Every man, when he hears this poisonous oath, will feel a chill in his heart. Zhu Zhishan can make such a poisonous oath, he really can't find an excuse to refuse. It seems that he must help him solve Zhu Zhishan's debt problem.

What's more, there are plot tasks there, and this pot can't be shaken off if you want to.

But painting?

Completely non-existent.

To help Zhu Zhishan solve the debt problem, he doesn't have to paint.

What's more, he can't draw a "Picture of an Eagle Spreading Its Wings and Swallowing the World" worth 300,000 taels, and it is almost the same to draw a sketch version of "A Chicken Pecking Rice". But such a painting can't be worth 300,000 taels, after all, the owner of the gambling house can't be a blind man.

Zhou Xingzu sighed: "You actually made such a ruthless poisonous oath, okay, then I'll help you again." ”

When Zhu Zhishan heard this, he immediately got up from the ground, waved to the subordinate next to him, and said, "Quickly bring up the four treasures of the study." ”

Unexpectedly, Zhou Xingzu stretched out his hand to stop him: "No need, I'm not going to paint." ”

Zhu Zhishan was shocked: "Could it be that you want to take the silver to repay the debt?" ”

As Tang Bohu's friend, Zhu Zhishan knows how hard Brother Tang is in terms of money. Although his family has a lot of money, all the money has to be approved by eight wives, and he usually goes out to look for flowers and willows, relying on calligraphy and painting to pay off debts, and does not take out five taels of silver in his pocket.

Fortunately, Tang Bohu is famous enough, and the girls in the painting boat are willing to have a spring breeze with him. If you can get a calligraphy, it is often put by the girls next to the pillow and regarded as a family heirloom. It can be said that Tang Bohu is at the forefront of the "grass powder" road in the Ming Dynasty, and has set a good example for future generations of entertainment stars.

And any girl who has been pampered by him will be worth a straight line. Tang Bohu can be said to be the culprit of the price gouging in Suzhou.

Now Tang Bohu is willing to take out the silver to pay off his debts, Zhu Zhishan was moved to cry bitterly in his heart, and praised his good brother.

"Go and call in the debtor." Zhou Xingzu smiled but said nothing, opened the folding fan, and didn't explain anything.

Zhu Zhishan hurriedly turned around and went out, calling in the gambling house thugs who were waiting outside the door.

When the gambling house thugs heard that Tang Bohu actually wanted to pay off Zhu Zhishan's debts, they couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

You must know that the major gambling houses have been lending money to Zhuzhishan. It is because of Zhu Zhishan that he was able to take out Tang Bohu's paintings to pay off his debts. Those who opened gambling houses were all smart people, and in their opinion, Tang Bohu's ink treasure was worth more than silver.

10,000 taels of silver, always 10,000 taels of silver. But when Tang Bohu burped, these ink treasures became priceless.

"Tang Gongzi, villain Zhao Shenglong, Wantong Gambling House Nursing Hospital, thank you Gongzi for squandering his wealth." Zhao Shenglong glanced at Zhu Zhishan with disdain, he was just a vulgar person, there was no talent in his eyes, only rich people and poor people.

Zhu Zhishan was obviously a poor bastard, so his eyes were full of contempt, but he was very polite when he spoke to Zhou Xingzu. Because in his eyes, Zhou Xingzu is obviously a rich man.

Although he didn't follow the boss's intentions, he got Tang Bohu's painting. But for him, the head of the nursing home, as long as he can receive the money, he can go back to pay the errand.

Zhou Xingzu walked up to Zhao Shenglong and looked up and down, he found that the guy in front of him was an ordinary practitioner, and he hadn't even reached the level of Mingjin. As for the more than 30 brothers behind Zhao Shenglong, their steps are vain, their bottom is unstable, and they are even more unbearable than him, they are just ordinary gangsters.

This made Zhou Xingzu nod in his heart, it seems that although he is in a martial arts world, the master of Ming Jin's internal strength is not a cabbage on the bad street.

Since that's the case, he's not welcome.

"Money? No! Zhou Xingzu replied with a smile and opened his hands: "There is a pair of fists, I warn you, I will cover it after Zhu Zhishan." ”

"Go back and tell your boss that this account is not counted, if you have any ideas, come and talk to me in person."

Zhao Shenglong was stunned for a moment, and then showed a hideous face: "Tang Gongzi, I'm afraid you don't have this ability." ”

Of course, it was impossible for Zhou Xingzu to take out the silver to help Zhu Zhishan repay his debts. However, he has long been accustomed to simple and rough gameplay, and when the money is not enough, he speaks with his fists.

As long as the fist is big enough, there is nothing that cannot be handled.

When Zhu Zhishan saw this scene, he couldn't help but take two steps back, and secretly said in his heart, Brother Bohu, don't be impulsive. He didn't think that Brother Tang, who had never dealt with anyone, could deal with more than 30 strong men.

When the subordinates next to him saw it, they also hurriedly dispersed, turned around and sent someone to inform the old lady.

"Why don't you try?"

Zhou Xingzu smiled, and in the face of his provocation, Zhao Shenglong took a deep breath, and the fierce color flashed in his eyes: "Offended, Tang Gongzi." ”

As Zhou Xingzu thought, only the whole fist is big, and there is nothing that can't be done.

But you also have to have the ability!

Zhao Shenglong obviously didn't take Tang Bohu's thin arms and legs seriously. In his opinion, Tang Bohu's hands can recite poems and paint, but they can't fight. If you accidentally discount it, the loss is big.

If the Ming Dynasty had insurance, he would have persuaded Zhou Xingzu to buy insurance first.

However, at the thought of being able to discount Tang Bohu's hand, Zhao Shenglong actually felt a strong sense of excitement in his heart.

As for whether he could bear the revenge of the Tang family after injuring Tang Bohu, he didn't think about it at all. Because in Zhao Shenglong's eyes, there is a Wantong gambling house covered by the Suzhou prefect, which is completely covering the sky in Suzhou City. Ren Tang's family is rich and famous, and he can't afford to offend the people of the Suzhou prefect.
