Chapter XXXVII
In the night, Xie Jingyao and Huo Nuer shuttled through a dark alley without five fingers, and from time to time heard the crying or noisy sounds of children on both sides, and occasionally there were adult stops and calls coming from the walls on both sides.
The footsteps of the two occasionally attracted the vigilant barking of the family dogs, but most of them barked at the door a few times, and did not run out to really look for the two of them.
"How far is it?" Xie Jingyao always felt that he had stepped on something unclean on the soles of his shoes, and he found a place to rub it several times, but he always felt that it was not clean.
"Go to the end and turn left, there's a small casino over there." Huo Nuer seemed to be able to see things at night, and in this potholed alley, she walked much more calmly than Xie Jingyao.
"Do you have a name?" Xie Jingyao asked.
"Nope." Hornuer shook his head.
Walking to the end of the alley, the two of them finally ushered in a little dim light in front of them.
Not far away, a lantern that had turned yellow for a long time made the already dim light, like an old man in his twilight years, swaying slightly with the night breeze.
Underneath the lantern are two rather dilapidated wooden doors, and the people inside can be faintly seen, and the cheers of winning bets and scolding of losing are clearly the main colors in the house.
Xie Jingyao and Huo Nuer stood in front of the door and glanced at each other, and then the two nodded, then stretched out their hands and pushed open the two hidden doors, and in an instant, a wave of heat mixed with the smell of sweat rushed towards the two of them like a wave.
Xie Jingyao hurriedly covered his face with his sleeves, Huo Nuer was unconscious, in the small room, dozens of gamblers gathered, who were looking at their respective tables intently at this time, and no one paid attention to their newcomers.
Seeing that no one was paying attention, the two walked around the hall to look for it, but as soon as they took two steps, they were stopped by a big man with an open chest and a full beard: "Hey, what are you doing?" ”
"Find someone." Xie Jingyao, who was hiding his face with his sleeves, glanced at Huo Nuer, and then Huo Nuer replied expressionlessly.
The big man with his open chest and exposed arms, with a thick layer of sweat and oil stains on his face and chest, looked the two up and down suspiciously: "Who are you looking for?" ”
"Splash Li San." Hornuer said.
The big man's brows furrowed instantly, and there was even a faint hint of vigilance in his expression, and he looked at Xie Jingyao, who was hiding his face with his sleeves and looked a little mysterious: "Don't you have a face to see people?" Why do you have to cover your face with your sleeves? ”
"Where's Po Li San?" Xie Jingyao lowered his sleeves, and his fresh and clean face seemed incompatible with this hot, smelly and filthy little casino.
"You ...... Who the hell is it? The big man asked again.
"Lu Xidao, the son of the Ministry of Rites, introduced by Lu Gongzi, there is a big deal, and I want to talk to him face-to-face, are you there?" Xie Jingyao continued to search in the hall while answering the question of the big man in front of him, and then in another corner, he saw a door that was not very tightly closed, pointed and asked, "Is it inside?" ”
Dahan looked at the two of them as if they were looking for revenge or grudges, after all, if they were looking for revenge and grudges, it would be impossible for them to dare to come only two people, unless they didn't want to live.
However, the big man was still more cautious, and after nodding to Xie Jingyao and Huo Nu'er, he loudly greeted a thin man at the next table and asked him to go outside to see if there was any movement.
Then it wasn't until the man who was sent out came back from a circle outside, shook his hand and told the big man that there was nothing outside, that the big man took Xie Jingyao and Huo Nu'er, bypassed several gambling tables in the hall, and walked to another door in the corner.
Pushing open the hidden door, there was a room like an inner room in front of me, not too big, but there were seven or eight people gathered inside, both men and women, and sitting in the middle was Po Li San with one hand wrapped in the entirety, and on both sides were two half-old, one nested in Po Li San's arms, and the other was flirting with Po Li San who wanted to refuse to return.
"What kind of person is this ......." Po Li San frowned and asked the big man who led Xie Jingyao and Huo Nuer.
As soon as he asked half a sentence, the expression on Po Li San's face immediately changed color, and his eyes instantly became extremely vicious, and he pushed away the two women beside him, stood up suddenly, and pointed at Huo Nuer and said viciously: "Okay...... You dare to send it to the door, San, close the door outside! Lao Tzu is going to close the door and beat the dog tonight! Let you also know that I don't want to mess with Li San! ”
The big man who led Xie Jingyao and Huo Nuer in was obviously the third man in Li San's mouth, and as the third man ran out to close the door of the casino, he seemed to hear the sound of chairs and tables being smashed behind him.
Among them, Li San's scolding was the most high-pitched, but when he closed the two doors of the casino and then turned around, the entire casino instantly became quiet, compared with the noisy scolding just now, as if he had shut himself out of the door.
Looking over the several gaming tables and heads in the hall, he saw that Po Li San's other uninjured hand was tightly held in the hand by the expressionless man who looked like a savage, and was slowly coming out of the inner room at this moment.
A moan of pain could be faintly heard in the inner room, and then I saw the man who had just covered his face with his hands, easily and calmly patting the non-existent dust on his body, and followed him to the casino hall.
"What are you doing? Leave quickly, or you will be covered in blood, and don't blame me for not warning you. Xie Jingyao said lightly in the face of dozens of people in the casino.
And the dozens of people in the casino seemed to be frozen, just staring blankly at Po Li San between Xie Jingyao and Huo Nuer.
At this time, on Po Li San's forehead, beads of sweat the size of soybeans rolled down his rough cheeks one by one, and the whole person looked as if he had just been fished out of the water.
"Say something." Xie Jingyao stabbed Li Sandao with his elbow.
Po Li San took a deep breath, forcibly endured the pain in his wrist and did not shout, and said in a deep voice: "San, open the door, let them go, those who want to gamble and want to make money are not happy, come back tomorrow, I will pour Li San to wait for everyone." ”
The third child is obviously also a very discerning subordinate, looking at the aggrieved and unwilling appearance of Po Li San, he didn't dare to do anything, so he had to turn his head again to open the door, and then shouted and scattered, scattered, come back tomorrow, and the casino will not fly with wings.
As dozens of gamblers left one by one, the originally lively casino immediately became much more deserted.
Xie Jingyao pulled over a chair and was about to sit down, but in the inner room behind him, he suddenly saw a big man holding a chair leg or something in his hand, and smashed it into the back of Xie Jingyao's head.
The third child, who had just let go of those gamblers and closed the door of the casino again, happened to see this scene at this time, his pupils unconsciously constricted, and he subconsciously thought that the man should be thrown to the ground from behind.
But the sudden scene in front of him made him suspect that his eyes were spent, and he didn't see clearly how the man turned around, let alone when the man's fist was raised, and how the punch hit the door faster than the chair leg that was already above his head, and the chair leg fell weakly from his hand, and his whole person was instantly punched back to the inner room, and he didn't even have time to scream.
"Killing is to pay for your life, don't think that you can do whatever you want in the outer city." Po Li San said in a deep voice.
"Don't worry, there is a measure under my hands, but I just fainted." Xie Jingyao sat down slowly at this time, and Huo Nuer also pulled Po Li San to sit down beside him.
"What the hell are you trying to do?" Contrary to Li San's expectations, after Huo Nuer sat down with him, he let go of his hand so that he could rub the corner of his eye that had just been punched.
However, at this time, after two lessons, Po Li San finally became honest and knew that the two people in front of him were not provoked by them casually.
"Although it is said that the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, but the raptor always has to cross the river, right?" Xie Jingyao said with a smile.
Po Li San put down the hand that rubbed the corners of his eyes, looked at the hand that was broken a few days ago, took a deep breath, looked at Xie Jingyao and asked: "To put it mildly, in Danfeng City, I'm afraid that Li San is not even a ground snake." If the two of you want to use me to stand up in this area, I'm afraid you're looking for the wrong person. ”
"Whether you are a snake or not, we know very well in our hearts, whether we are looking for the wrong person, we are still very clear in our hearts." Xie Jingyao looked at the shabby hall of the casino, and said lightly: "Naturally, I have a purpose to find you, and I will never find the wrong person." ”
"Is it to take revenge on me for the son of Lord Xu, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites?" The corners of Li San's eyes twitched unconsciously, and then he said angrily: "As the son of an official eunuch, Gongzi Xu won't just measure it like this, right?" What's more, I was just running errands for someone in that matter, and his finger was broken by him, what else did he want? Do you really want to kill them all? ”
In the end, Po Li San felt speechless, compared with Xu Gongzi, it stands to reason that he is the one who is a gangster, and he should be the one who makes people scruples, afraid that it will stick like a dog skin plaster and not let go.
Why is it the other way around? Although he just said that he wanted to take revenge, it was just a matter of taking advantage of his tongue, and no matter how capable he was to splash Li San, he would not dare to wrestle with the children of others with officialdom backgrounds.
"When I first arrived, I just wanted to make friends with you, and ...... I hope that through you, I will meet more friends on the road in Danfeng City. Of course, it doesn't matter if we're friends or foes with you, we just want to make friends. Xie Jingyao is very confused, compared to Huo Nuer, he makes Po Li San jealous, even afraid.
Just like in the inner room, after the third child went to close the door, this guy took the initiative to shoot at them without warning, and the speed and ruthlessness of the shot were completely beyond the last time they were thrown into the ditch by Hornuer.
It was just some skin wounds, but the few people in the inner room today, except for the two women, I'm afraid the rest of them will have to lie in bed for ten days and a half months.
"What if I don't say yes?" Po Li San tested Xie Jingyao's bottom line.
Xie Jingyao was very relaxed and casual, as if he was talking to a friend, with a faint smile on his face, and said: "There are also mass graves outside Danfeng City, if you don't agree, just throw them there with some effort." There are only a dozen of you, it doesn't take much effort, you don't have to worry about the city gate, we have a way to get out of the city in the middle of the night. Anyway, you will all be dead by then, so you don't have to worry about being discovered. It should be our ...... who are afraid. ”
"Well, I promise you! But in the third chapter of the Offer Law, you can't betray me and Li San did it. Po Li San's face looked a little pale.
If it was said that the first time Po Li San was used as a background board was to make Xu Changting plant a seed of fear in Pei Murong's heart, then this time he was the party, because the smile on Xie Jingyao's face really made him feel cold, and fear slowly took root in his heart.
