"If a person breaks the rules of the dart game, he should be punished, but most of them are like this, and you people in charge must think about whether this rule is unreasonable. The old man squinted his eyes half-squinted on the Taishi's chair, and a glove was in the warm tube of fox skin, "The dart game bets on a dart and is still the silver that draws two out of ten, or is it the rule set by the ancestor master?"

A dart head next to the Taishi's chair replied respectfully, "Yes." ”

"If the rules set by Master Zu want to change, it must be discussed by all the principals and darts in the dart game. The tone was not salty or light, but there was a majesty on the wrinkled face that was extremely inconsistent with the disabled body, "What you people are doing, you know in your heart, since there is no tail to show now, just clamp it, if there is a hair exposed in the future, Yan Chao will punish you, and you don't have to come to this ancestral hall to intercede and beg for beating!"

These darts heads who were in charge of at least a dozen people hung their heads in shame after being taught by the old man who only had one arm and one leg, like students who couldn't memorize books and were beaten by their husbands, Zhang Bashun, who was torn off his collar, simply sat on the broken brick floor with a bit of a buttocks, and didn't speak, sullenly angry.

"Why are you still staying here, do you want to fight with us?" Song Yanchao, the head of the Wuhe Dart Bureau, said angrily to the dart masters, "Don't get out of here." ”

When the last dart head hurriedly withdrew from the gate of the ancestral hall, Gu Shengyang looked back at Zhang Bashun who was sitting on the ground, and couldn't help but worry about this old brother, they were not young people, and they had the courage to do this private work when they were old, and they had to say that their luck was really worse.

Seeing that the head of the dart threw another devouring look, Gu Shengyang didn't dare to look back, and after leaving the gate of the ancestral hall, he carefully closed the door panel, and didn't dare to listen to the corner of the wall, after all, with the martial arts realm of the head of the dart, there was a big difference between the person's breath and thunder when the wall had ears.

All the rest of the people left, and only the one-armed and one-legged old man was left in the ancestral hall, Song Yanchao, the head of the Wuhe Dart Bureau, and Zhang Bashun, who was sitting on the ground with a cloak.

Syllable!

A loud slap echoed in the ancestral hall, and the disabled old man, who was originally extremely difficult to walk, came to Zhang Bashun in the middle of breathing, and then saw Zhang Bashun slide out sideways, but he happened to stop castration in front of the wooden case full of tablets on the wall, and the red mark of five fingers on half of his face slowly appeared.

After slapping this handful old man, he still limped back to the Taishi chair he was sitting on just now and sat down, as if Fang Cai's palm had nothing to do with him, Zhang Bashun, who received this slap, turned sideways on the ground and spat two mouthfuls of blood foam, spit out a tooth, twisted his face and squeezed out a smile, "The patriarch played well!"

"I know if I play well, I don't need you to talk about it. Returning to the previous state of not being able to see whether it was a dream or waking up, the old man lazily half leaned on the back of the Taishi chair, and behind him was a silk cotton pillow, "The previous incident, listening to a few of you darts and Yan Chao relay, I almost know what happened, you can tell it again." ”

Zhang Bashun knew that now was the time to no longer beg for mercy, so he got up and climbed to the Taishi chair and knelt down, 1510 Chen said how he received this private job in Huafu, Heqing County, and how he led people to fight with Nawu Erlang, knowing that he was invincible, he finally came up with a move to threaten each other with brotherly affection, including the unusual courtesy of Washington.

The disabled old man on the Taishi chair listened to Zhang Bashun for more than half an hour, and Song Yanchao, the head of the dart, also found a chair that was still intact and sat down, and listened to Zhang Bashun's words.

"How can a person who does business in one state and one county so easily come up with a reward of 10,000 taels of silver? Although Wu Erlang said that the martial arts realm is a five-story building, it can be placed in ordinary years, not to mention that the government does not care about it, even if he asks the lives of the people in the rivers and lakes to pile up, dozens of lives will be piled up to kill this person, and it will not take as much as 10,000 taels of silver. "Zhang Bashun's face is very unpleasant, and half of his face is gradually swollen like a steamed bun" That is, Suzhou has just suffered a catastrophe this year, and I only think that the master of Washington can't find a capable man, I knew that this would be the case...."

"What's it? It's wrong to take private work in the name of the dart game, and it's not good to do private work if you take it, and it's even worse to ruin the reputation of the dart game. Several charcoal basins in the ancestral hall were slowly extinguished without anyone taking care of them, and the room became cold, Song Yanchao wrapped the sheepskin fur on his body and stroked his short white beard, "If the dead haven't been able to save the reputation of the bodyguard bureau, then it's not as simple as talking in the ancestral hall now." ”

"Suzhou Heqing County Huafu.... Yanchao, do you know?"

"I went to Suzhou back then, I saw the old owner of Washington at that time, and I still had some friendships, he was a businessman who sold some medicinal materials on the road, but the capital of a few hundred taels of silver, and when I went back four years later, I opened more than a dozen joint pharmacies in Suzhou. On weekdays, Song Yanchao, the head of the dart, who only listens to the words of the master of the dart game, maintains great respect in front of the old man who has a broken arm and a leg, "Now that the master of Washington is Hua'an, it is most likely the grandchildren of the old master of Washington." ”

"Decades of accumulation, in the eyes of many families, may be just a flick of the fingers, but for those who are traders, it is a lot of opportunities. The old man on the Taishi chair showed a look of recognition, "To this day, even if this Washington is the richest man in Suzhou, there will not be many surprises." ”

"But they used 10,000 taels of silver to hire the men of this dart to fight against that Wu Erlang, but it was just a mantis arm as a car, after he killed his own brother with his own hands, if he was crazy and only wanted to kill, the five-story martial arts, the people up and down the mansion were not enough for him to kill, how could it be blocked by a few of you?" Song Yanchao smiled playfully, "The master of Washington does not hesitate to risk this strange thing to protect...."

"The only thing that can make these businessmen take such a big risk is to make a bigger profit than the risk, so secretive, it's just that they don't want to shake off their family foundation so quickly, but old guys like you and me can see through it, isn't there a clear-eyed person in Suzhou?" The old man on the Taishi chair coughed slightly, "But since people are willing to take out 10,000 taels of silver to stuff your mouths, don't make a lot of publicity if you get this cheap." ”

In less than two hours, the disabled old man on the Taishi chair finally showed a tired look: "You are far inferior to your brother in the martial arts, but you have redeemed some in the way of doing things, and there are only two of you left in the bloodline of the Zhang family in this generation, your brother died in the chaos of the rivers and lakes in Jiangzhou, and the Wu He Dart Bureau has no reason to avenge him, and take care of the wife and daughter he left behind, so you don't owe him anything." ”

Wu and the ancestor of the dart bureau Zhang Wuhe's bloodline has been passed down to this generation, even if it is the clansmen of the side branches, there are only a few dozen people, Zhang Bashun's vein of the big house bloodline is barely prosperous, this generation has two brothers, his brother is unwilling to be a dart master all his life, since he was a child, he has a high talent for martial arts, and he left the border army without waiting for the crown, and the trained cavalry immediately has a great reputation for guns and spears, as if it is a strong force that does not lose the cavalry of the barbarians in the north.

However, later the most outstanding person of the Zhang family's generation offended the boss at the top in the army, and he couldn't get mixed up anymore, so he went out to a remote place in Jiangzhou, and never saw it again, or a team of people and horses who escorted to Jiangzhou brought back the news, saying that it was a great chaos in Jiangzhou, and the two largest Jianghu sects fought for more than two years and finally decided the winner, and the news of his brother's death also reached Zhang Bashun's ears.

"The position of the dart head, you naturally can't sit anymore, everything has to be explained, and the dart bureau will deduct the silver of the retired guy for you, which is not a heavy punishment. The old man's knuckles lightly buckled the armrest of the Taishi chair and muttered, "It's a little selfishness on my part, the bloodline of the Zhang family is withering like this, you can't go wrong again." ”

"Since you have eaten all the money you have earned in your stomach, you don't need to pull it out to pour out your appetite, just keep it for yourself. Leaning his head on the back of the Taishi chair, the one-armed and one-legged old man, who is the patriarch of the Zhang family, closed his eyes and finally asked, "Have you delivered all the money for the pension?"

"Only Zou Yongan's family has not been sent over, and the little brother Wei who met in Suzhou insists on going by himself. Zhang Bashun sighed, "He is a young man who values love and righteousness, but he has not seen much in life and death, he is a plastic talent, and over time, he may not be able to be a good dart." ”

"In that case, let's stay in the dart bureau and be a little guy who serves tea and water to see how his heart is.... No, let him come to the ancestral hall and serve my old bones. ”

Hearing the old man say this, Song Yanchao, the head of Rao is dart, also felt that something was wrong: "Such a skilled young man, without adding silver to keep the seat, and let him be a little guy who serves tea and water, I'm afraid that he will have to leave after two days..."

"It's his business whether he can go or not. Pull up the dog skin mattress on his knee with one arm, the old man's head is tilted, and he wants to take a nap on the Taishi chair, "You go and tell him, if you can stand it, you can bear it, and if you can't stand it, you will leave. ”

In the Wuhe dart game, the old man's words were that the dart head and the dart master had to listen to it, and when there was rarely a disobedience, Zhang Bashun already knew that he couldn't do anything for the little brother Wei, but it was a pity that he couldn't leave this talent for the dart game, and walked out of the ancestral hall with a sigh.

I still have time to take care of myself, where can I manage so much, Zhang Bashun silently walked towards the outside of the ancestral hall, and before he went out, there was a greeting from Song Yanchao: "The silver money for repairing the ancestral hall...."

Zhang Bashun, who pretended not to hear, hurried away.

Seeing that he was running away, Song Yanchao finally said a wordless before going out with his hands behind his back, there is no such way to boil the eagle, people are not eagles tied to ropes, and they are forced to go by themselves.

The old man turned a deaf ear.
