Chapter 70 Sitting on the ground and making money
The crowd was scattered, in groups of three or five, there were very few lone rangers, most of them were gangs and factions, and Zhao Qi also saw a few beggars, sitting aside, silent, and placing a broken bowl in front of him. The clothes are not as dirty as ordinary beggars, but they are clean, and there is a cloth bag tied around their waists, and they know that they are from the beggars' gang at a glance.
Zhao Qi got off the horse and walked not far from them, this Lu Ma didn't need to be tethered at all, he didn't run around at all, but he was much smarter than ordinary horses.
Several beggars were extremely vigilant, and when they saw Zhao Qi observing his movements, their expressions did not change, after all, the beggars were numerous and powerful, and they were not afraid of others at all.
"This young man is very tight, I don't know what the matter is to find us?" The old beggar at the head stood up and arched his hand towards Zhao Qi, his chubby face flashing with fine light.
"Hehe, there is a good deal, I don't know if you are willing to help, and you will be able to make a fortune when the time comes." Zhao Qi said with a smile, what he has to do is to open the bank, and he is short of manpower, so he has taken a fancy to the beggars.
"I don't know what kind of deal it is? Can you tell me a thing or two? Let me wait for the beggar to drink some soup. "The beggar at the head looks as usual, they have a lot of ways to make money, as long as they don't violate chivalry, they do it all to escort the guards of the house, it's nothing more than a mess of food.
"Tomorrow, Peng Lianhu and Zhang Rou will fight, I'll sit in a village, you can help me fight, and after the matter is completed, I will be paid." Zhao Qi glanced at the person next to him who was eavesdropping, and said directly. No one should dare to do this business except him, and he is not afraid of being heard.
The old beggar's face changed slightly, this matter is not so simple, and said: "I don't know what kind of scope this is?" Do you want to help the young man afterwards? ”
Zhao Qi knew this old guy's worries, the two concepts were completely different, it didn't hurt for them to simply fight, if they were allowed to keep themselves safe, wouldn't it be that they would be the gunmen?
"No, you just need to help me collect the accounts later, and nothing else has anything to do with you." Zhao Qi waved his hand, he didn't have the idea of using these people, and his words were naturally frank and frank.
Hearing Zhao Qi say this, the old beggar's face softened, if this stinky boy wanted to play tricks on them, he didn't mind teaching this guy what a Jianghu person is, "This deal is done, the price is three taels of silver, and the young man is invited." ”
Zhao Qi glanced at the old beggar with a smile, this old guy's mind was not pure, he didn't break it, and nodded happily, "Three taels of silver, pay afterwards, and never delay." ”
The old beggar nodded silently, no one can owe them money to the beggar, their money is all exchanged for their lives, the knife licks the blood, and they are not worried that Zhao Qi will not pay off his debts. Whether the gamble is successful or not, they have the money.
"My surname is Peng, if the young man is love, just call Brother Peng." With this business, the old beggar said happily, the flesh on his face was squeezed into a ball, and he didn't go out of the way.
"It turned out to be Elder Peng, oh, Brother Peng, fortunately, my surname is Zhao, and my single name is a Qi character." Zhao Qi caught a glimpse of the overlapping cloth bags around his waist, there were as many as nine, these were the four elders of the Beggar Gang, and he immediately thought of this Elder Peng. Jian Peng Lianglu, the four elders of the Beggar Gang. Seeing that he didn't want to reveal his identity, Zhao Qi tapped and immediately changed the topic.
As everyone knows, Elder Peng's heart has already turned over at this time, the number of beggars is large, the disciples are mixed, and if there is any wind and grass on the rivers and lakes, they can't escape their eyes. After looking at Zhao Qi carefully, he couldn't believe that the person in front of him was the new Ming Sect leader.
"Brother Zhao doesn't know where he is? You look like you're not even twenty years old, right? It is like a jade god and a dignified appearance. Elder Peng suppressed the fluctuations in his heart and asked tentatively, if Zhao Qi hadn't named his identity, maybe he would still feel that the possibility of having the same name and surname was extremely high. Even just now he had some small calculations, which was nothing more than that when this person had an accident at the opening, it was time for them to show their talents, and they had to let this person pay more money to buy his life.
Zhao Qi found that these people in the rivers and lakes were all the same, and they always liked to hide some things when they tried something, and the Elder Peng in front of him was obviously aware of his identity, but he didn't dare to ask directly, so he simply said: "Come from the sun and the moon, do you say?" Brother Peng. ”
Sitting on Zhao Qi's identity, Elder Peng's pupils shrank suddenly, he knew that he had met a big fish, his eyes skimmed to the people not far away, thinking that he didn't know how many people were going to enter the game later. Wanting to know more about the Ming Sect Master, he had a smile on his face and said, "It made the young man smile." ”
Zhao Qi found a few temporary workers, and he was not in a hurry to open a gambling plate immediately, after all, he didn't know much about this matter, but he also understood that the probability of Peng Lianhu winning this battle was extremely high, and he chatted with this Peng Elder who later betrayed the beggar gang.
Chatting and chatting, Zhao Qi has a lot of high regard for this Elder Peng, this product has a deep understanding of the rivers and lakes, and what surprised Zhao Qi even more is that this guy has a lot of opinions about the situation in the world, which is a bit rare. In fact, Zhao Qi is rare and strange, the beggar gang is the largest gang in the world, and it can continue to be inherited for many years, and the topic that cannot be avoided is the change of dynasty. To be able to become an elder of the beggar gang, if you don't know anything about this, it is really unscientific.
They are not like Mingjiao, they live in a corner of the country, their horizons are not wide, and they care very little about the affairs of the Central Plains. Even with a large number of believers, they are not as pervasive as the beggars.
"Elder Peng feels about tomorrow's battle, how will it be won or lost?" Zhao Qi sat on the ground, he also had a little mind to win over this Elder Peng, this guy is greedy for glory and wealth, the more he is like this, the easier it is to win over and use it, and it can also play a big role. As for the future, that's another story.
Elder Peng sneered, "Peng Lianhu will definitely win, otherwise why would I come here in person." ”
Zhao Qi immediately understood, the feeling that this Elder Peng came to save people, but he didn't know if it was that Zhang Daxia who gave the beggar gang benefits, or whether Elder Peng received the order of the Hong gang leader above.
"The hero sees the same thing, and when the market opens, Peng Lianhu wins, and one loses ten." Zhao Qi immediately made a decision, he opened this kind of one-way gambling market, since Peng Lianhu has a higher winning rate, then he has room to operate, and winning or losing is up to him.
Elder Peng was a little puzzled at first, but after thinking about it for a while, he smiled bitterly, he immediately understood that this place was pitiful, and the odds of ten times were enough to attract people's greed. If he hadn't recognized Zhao Qi's identity, it is estimated that he would have wanted to gamble.
These two people are a battle of life and death, and in a sense, Peng Lianhu can't afford to lose. Zhang Rou is a person in the righteous path, and defeating him will not have such a big impact on his reputation. On the contrary, Peng Lianhu, a thousand-handed slaughter, with blood on his hands, can only rely on continuous victories to win over his subordinates, once defeated, it will be a fatal blow to him.
In fact, this is the same truth for all people in the evil path, they can't afford to lose once, especially in a critical battle, if they lose, they will lose their lives.
"Hehe, I just don't know how much money I can make, if I can't even earn enough money for the journey, I'll lose my face." Zhao Qi didn't care about the expression on Elder Peng's face, and said to himself, this is his true words.
A few people quickly got busy, and it didn't take long to attract the attention of many people.
"Ten to one!"
The odds are not too high, just throw one or two into it, and what you get back is ten taels of silver, so you have to be tempted.
Elder Peng's worry was right, and the number of bettors quickly increased, and many people glanced at Zhao Qi who was sitting behind him strangely. Elder Peng played a trick and made it clear that the beggars were only responsible for collecting money and didn't care about other things. He didn't want to be hated by these people afterwards, so he planted this on the beggars.
As everyone knows, there are some things, the more you explain, the more suspicious others become, what Zhao Qi wants is this effect, otherwise there are more people he can hire, why do you have to find these old beggars.
There are both the signboards of the beggar gang to help him vouch, and the beggar gang to help him operate, when Zhao Qi takes the money and leaves, what does it matter about the mess. Otherwise, Zhao Qi opened the market alone, and it is estimated that there are not many people who are willing to believe it, and he is not well-known.
This follows a person who sets up a roadside stall to sell lottery tickets, and whoever believes it is a fool. On the contrary, it is a large company, and no one will doubt that it will hold a lottery at random.
Allowing Elder Peng to be smart and cunning, he was also bypassed all of a sudden.
The more it is explained, the more it will become a symbol of evidence. People are the same, and the three of them become tigers, but it is not something he can say clearly with one mouth.
Humming a little song, Zhao Qi suddenly saw an acquaintance in the crowd, Shi Zhongtian, that is, the friend of Fan Yiweng who he saved last time. Zhao Qi was stunned by the name of this guy at that time, isn't he afraid of being beaten to death by calling this name? No wonder he was hit by the five poisonous palms.
Raising his eyebrows, Zhao Qi beckoned a young beggar and asked him to go over and tell Shi Zhongtian that he would come over to see him at night, but he wanted to inquire about Qiu Qianqi's news. It's been a long time since I've seen that girl, and I don't know what she's doing in the Valley of Despair.
Shi Zhongtian's side obviously glanced over, and quickly turned his head away, obviously not wanting others to find out that he knew Zhao Qi.
Zhao Qi wanted to laugh a little, this kid probably didn't want to have anything to do with him now, but most of the people present had bet, as for whether they would lose by then, it was a matter of maybe. At that time, Zhao Qi didn't care, if Shi Zhongtian was found out and involved with him, he would have fallen into blood mold.
"This kid is a lot more alert, not bad, it seems that he has a good future in the future, I am optimistic about him." Zhao Qi said narcissistically, he is optimistic, but they are all high-level cannon fodder. Whether it was Elder Peng or Shi Zhongtian, he was particularly optimistic.
