Chapter 24 Gambling
Sun Yuanwai looked at the person in front of him and was confused again. What the hell is this man thinking, one moment he is going to rob, the next moment he seems to be prompting me to apologize to this masked girl, I am kowtowing here, and he calls me up and says he wants to play a game. What kind of song is this? Is it true that I'm too old to keep up with the ideas of young people? Look at his sassy appearance, he is handsome, and his eyes are good-looking, and it doesn't look like he has a problem with his head at all.
Looking at the situation where he was in danger when he appeared just now and now when he was surrounded, it is estimated that he can't count on it. And the two glances he gave my concubine a look like the eyes of his prostitutes who saw the girl in Guixiangyuan.
Although his grandson is timid, he still has the eye to see people after eating white rice for so many years. He was open-mouthed and offended the masked girl in front of him who seemed to have more status in the cottage. I thought that if I gave a soft gift to this young man, even if I couldn't get any benefits, at least I could let him help me with a few good words and save my life. Unexpectedly, he was inexplicably rejected. If you don't eat hard and soft, it's hard to do now.
Cold sweat began to break out on his forehead again. I'm still thinking hard about what to do. But I heard the young man speak again.
"I said Lao Sun, are you playing or not?" Liang Zhan said impatiently.
"Play, but according to the orders of the hero!" "Lao Sun gritted his teeth, and he shouldn't be able to die playing games. I'll see what tricks he can play.
"Command, command, what?" Liang Zhan flicked his sleeves, "I'm very fair, and it's fair for us to play this game." Don't act like I'm forcing you!"
"Yes, yes, yes. Lao Sun nodded hurriedly, "But I don't know what kind of game it is?"
"It's a game, it's easy to say, but you can call it a gamble. Hey, everyone here, which one has a copper coin on it?" Liang Zhan stretched out his hand, "Lend me one." β
Everyone present looked over again. What the hell is this guy doing?
"This, I have, I have. Sun Yuanwai trembled and reached into his arms and took out a money bag. Then he took out a coin from it and handed it to Liang Zhan.
Liang Zhan's eyes widened in disbelief: "You still have a penny of copper coins on your body?"
Lao Sun smiled lewdly: "This, this, no matter how small the fly is, it is also meat!"
I'll go, Liang Zhan shook his head helplessly, it seems that he is really rich and stingy. He despised the miser up and down, and swore in his heart. If I don't slaughter you once today, I'll be sorry for myself.
"Old Sun, how much property do you have in your name?" Liang Zhan asked casually, playing with the copper coins in his hand.
"Huh?" Lao Sun's face turned yellow, and his heart began to get nervous again, "Not much, not much." The family is small and the business is small, only enough for food and clothing. β
"Cut!" this voice came from Xiaoxiao, who had not spoken for a long time. "A small family and a small business? Sun Fucai, you are really thick-skinned! Let's put aside your ancestors and the fertile land you seized, then the Meiyouxuan Restaurant in the east gate and west of the city is yours, right? The Huayi Cloth Village in the east of the city is also yours, right? Isn't the owner of the dry goods market in the north of the city who uses dry goods every day surnamed Sun?"
Sun Yuanwai was covered in cold sweat, and he didn't dare to answer for a long time. The family background has been touched so clearly, am I underestimating the bandit? This, is this still a bandit?
Liang Zhan listened to Xiaoxiao's words with his mouth wide open, and he couldn't speak for a long time. I know that I can be called an outsider, and I have money. But I didn't know it was so rich. This is simply a big boss in a comprehensive industry. Thinking of this, Liang Zhan looked at the copper coin in his hand and became even more disdainful of Lao Sun. The richer you are, the more you love money, and that's true.
"These are your ways to make money, but, for you, in fact, the biggest source of income, I'm afraid that the gentleman on the bank of the Li River at the foot of Nanxi Mountain will come to the inn again, right? Xiaoxiao continued.
Sun Yuanwai hurriedly knelt down: "Aunt Mingjian." That's just the remnants of my ancestors, and I'll just sit back and enjoy it. If my aunt and grandmother can spare me this time, I can take all the silver and jewelry in the carriage behind me, and when I return home, I will send someone to send 5,000 taels of silver to thank my aunt and grandmother and all the good men for their grace not to kill. What do you think?"
That's the price code. Damn, the rich second generation has seen a lot, and it's the first time I've seen such a rich second generation. Liang Zhan was indignant. It seems that sometimes birth is really important. The hardships of the poor are something that the rich children who were born with a golden key can never understand. It's no wonder that this guy is so rich, and he actually went to occupy other people's farmland.
He sighed, I am afraid that there are many "rich people" like Sun Yuanwai in Great Xia.
Five thousand taels! Xiaoxiao also gasped. She just stated some facts, but she didn't expect this dead fat man to be able to offer such a big price at once. In the past six months, I didn't necessarily have to rob so much. How many poor families and victims of the disaster can be helped by this in the surrounding three counties? But this kind of thing has always been the idea of the third uncle, and now the third uncle has not returned. It's not good to make a decision right away. So she looked at Liang Zhan's brother and wanted to ask his opinion. saw that the outer brother also looked at her at this time, and winked at her. Then he went directly over and helped Sun Fatzi up.
"Brother Sun, you're too worried. When did we say we were going to kill? My Black Wind Village robs money without robbing sex, and the style of robbing silver without killing is well-known to women and children, although you are a big old man, but you must also know. The brothers are just begging for food from you, and they ask for silver for two days, and it just so happens that you have the silver. So you see, if you want to cross, we will pass for you. We asked for silver, and you gave us silver. After paying the money, you take your small mountain road, and we will go back to our Black Wind Village. The two do not owe each other. Harmony, peace and security. Everyone is comfortable, isn't it?" Liang Zhan said earnestly.
Comfort your uncle. Why should I spend the money I earned on you? The angry Sun Yuanwai looked at the smiling young man in front of him, and he had an intuition that he had never had before, this young man must be more cunning than himself, an old man who has been in the shopping mall for decades. How did a matter of violating morality and breaking the law become consensual in his mouth? I endure!
So the hundred reluctant grandsons in their hearts had no choice but to respond against their will: "Yes, yes, yes." Everybody's comfortable!"
"That's good!" Liang Zhan snapped his fingers, "Then, let's start playing the game!"
"Yes!"
"As I said before, my game is actually not complicated. Today, you offended the pearl of our cottage. It stands to reason that it will be light to cut you. But she has a lot of adults, and she doesn't have the same knowledge as you. But if she spares you, it doesn't mean that other brothers and heroes in our village can spare you. Isn't that right, brothers?" he said these words extremely loudly. Deliberately let the bandits accompanying him hear. It's not stupid over there. Although he didn't understand what he was doing, under the leadership of Zhou Qijin and Wu Dalang, they all waved the big knife in their hands and shouted: "Yes, yes, yes!"
Seeing that Brother Sun's face was like a vegetable, Liang Zhan was very satisfied and continued: "But your promise just now sounds interesting enough for our copycat. We don't want to embarrass you too much. In this way, you, you have been a profiteer for so many years, and it goes without saying treacherous. I'm also the only brother in our village who can barely pick out the word slippery head from his temperament. Therefore, I will play a fair game with you on behalf of our cottage, which can also be said to be a fair bet. You win, you just have to deliver on the promise you just made. We don't blame the rest of the past, what do you think?"
Sun Yuan was not stupid, and slowly continued: "Then, what if I lose?"
Liang Zhan didn't answer, but turned his face sideways and made a mouth shape towards Xiaoxiao and said three words.
Xiao Xiao will. So he said clearly but forcefully, word by word: "Jun-again-come!"
"Oh, I can't help it!" Sun Yuanwai heard the masked girl pronounce these three words, as if he had been struck by lightning. I was stunned for a long time before I began to wail. "No, girl, no, Grandma! That's what I've been putting my heart and soul into for many years. It is also the biggest source of income for my old grandson's family now. How can I gamble with it? You're not going to kill me!"
"Really?" Liang Zhan stopped his wail.
"I can't help it, I can't help it."
Seeing that Sun Yuanwai was about to howl again. Liang Zhan impatiently pulled him aside and whispered, "Okay, don't know what to do." If you don't agree, you are now offending the only woman in the village, the daughter of our creditor. Usually the brothers in the village treat her like a fairy, but it's good for you to insult people directly. You say, the thousands of brothers in the stockade will let you go? Do you see the pair of wolf-like eyes behind you? If you are caught, death is certain, but do you think you can die a happy death? I am not afraid to tell you that except for the creditor's daughter, they are all men on weekdays. It's all in that area where the demand is stronger, guess they have a demand, in this kind of deep mountains and old forests, how can they solve it? It's not by robbing fools like you, oh, it's robbing local tyrants like you, bringing your family back, andβ"
He paused deliberately, and when he saw that Sun Yuan's exterior was like earth, he then added: "Your old wife and young concubine are okay, after all, they are women." But if even you are byβ"
He patted Sun Yuanwai on the shoulder: "Hey, thousands of people, thousands of people! It's exciting to think about! Maybe I will secretly hang you naked on the gate of the East Gateββ"
Sun Yuanwai's eyes were hollow, and he trembled several times in a row. But he replied in a firm tone: "I bet." β
