After the man left, Meng Changji sat on the chair decadently, and the whole person sank in the darkness and did not see the light of day.

He was cold, and he didn't know what to do with himself.

After a long time, someone knocked on the door: "Shopkeeper, there's a commotion down there, do you want to go and see?" ”

Meng Changji broke free from the cold, his stiff limbs slowly moved, and in the blink of an eye, all his emotions were pressed back to his heart, he stood up and asked coldly, "What's the trouble?" ”

The guy said angrily outside the door: "It's just a dead gambler, you have to gamble if you don't have money, and if you can't afford to lose, you want to repay the debt, not to say that we are out of the house." ”

Meng Changji was in a bad mood, and suddenly such a thing came, and he immediately picked up his fire.

He pushed open the door and said with a cold expression: "Since you are not convinced, then fight, I want to see how hard his bones are, I can't afford to pay for it?" The deed of ownership, the children and daughters-in-law, there is always someone who can pay off the debt, let him take care of it himself, and if he doesn't pay it, he will go to the government and go to jail. ”

Seeing that he was in a bad mood, the guy didn't dare to say anything more, and was about to turn around and go to pass the word, but Meng Changji suddenly stopped him, "Wait." ”

"What else does the shopkeeper command?"

Meng Changji pursed his lips, sighed deeply after a while, and said, "You let the kitchen cook some good dishes, open two jars of wine, and call the newly recruited guys to the backyard." ”

The guy was stunned: "What does the shopkeeper mean - to drink with them?" ”

Meng Changji frowned: "Well, if you enter the Yuelai Gambling House, you are our people." ”

"Yes, the little ones will do it."

The guy went, Meng Changji stood in place and closed his eyes, turned around and quietly went downstairs from the stairs on the other side.

……

The man's movements were very neat, when Meng Changji arrived in the backyard, the wine had already been put on the table, and the southern Xinjiang assassins had not yet come, Meng Changji looked left and right, picked up the wine jar and poured wine into the bowl one by one, and after pouring it around, he took out the drug in his sleeve, opened it and shook it into the wine bowl in turn, except for his own.

After pouring it, he tucked the paper ball back into his sleeve, watched the white powder dissolve in the wine, and finally disappeared without a trace, and gently tugged at his lower lip.

"Shopkeeper!"

Someone shouted, and his heart jumped, and the hands in his sleeves were clenched tightly.

He turned his head casually, and saw the twelve Southern Assassins striding in, led by a tall and strong man.

"The shopkeeper called us here to drink?"

The man looked at him suspiciously, Meng Changji smiled and waved his hand: "Come here, we are people on the same boat, the master also knows your difficulty, let me entertain you well, you will live here in the future, with me, keep everyone's delicious food and spicy drink." ”

Seeing that his attitude was sincere, these assassins in southern Xinjiang were not suspicious, and the instructions above were to let them come to Yuelai Casino to listen to Meng Changji's arrangement, so they also believed it.

The man laughed: "Good! You look younger than me, I'll call you Brother Meng, right? ”

Meng Changji smiled heartily: "I don't know my eldest brother's surname? ”

"My surname is Sun, you can just call me Brother Sun."

He turned around and said hello, and the others immediately took their seats happily, and twelve people would definitely not be able to sit at one table, so they were divided into three tables.

As soon as everyone sat down, the guys came in with the dishes, "The fried beef just out of the pot-"

"Steamed fish—"

The rich fragrance instantly filled the small world in the backyard, and the lanterns hanging in a few corners were not very bright, but they did not affect their view.

These assassins slept outside, day and night, they didn't eat a few bites of hot food along the way, they were almost gnawed out of the cocoon of dry food, and there was no taste for anything they ate.

Meng Changji noticed it, and said with a smile: "Don't be restrained, this is a reception banquet for you, you can eat as much as you want, I'm afraid that you will eat too much, I'm afraid that you won't eat enough, there are still dishes in the kitchen that haven't come up, let's wait while eating." ”

As he spoke, he took the lead in picking up the wine bowl and got up, and the rest of the people also took the bowl when they saw this, and looked at it in unison.

A somewhat thin black-faced man beside the man asked in a low voice, "Big brother, since it's a reception banquet, why didn't the master come?" ”

The man said angrily: "The master is so busy, how can he have time to see us?" ”

Meng Changji couldn't help but glance at the man with a black face, "I respect everyone on behalf of the master, the master is really busy now, and he lacks skills, and when he is free, he will naturally come." ”

The man smiled: "We understand, come, do it-"

He turned his head and glared at the black-faced man, "Qin Lie, be careful when you speak." ”

Qin Lie was a little unconvinced in his heart, but now that he was looking at so many pairs of eyes, he couldn't say anything, and if he didn't drink, it seemed that he had different intentions.

It's just that he still has an uneasy feeling lingering in his heart.

Meng Changji raised his head with a smile and drank all the spirits in the bowl, and the man shouted: "Brother Meng has a good amount of wine!" ”

Seeing this, the rest of the people no longer hesitated, and drank the bowl of wine.

Qin Lie gritted his teeth and poured it down.

Next, Meng Changji beckoned everyone to eat while it was hot, and after eating, they would have a good night's sleep tonight.

I don't know if it's because of preconceived reasons, Qin Lie listens to him now, what's wrong.

After sitting for a while, he excused himself to go to the hut under the pretext that he was in a hurry.

Meng Changji glanced at him, saw him holding his legs, his face turned red, and he smiled and waved his hand: "The thatched house is in the west, you can go by yourself, be careful when it's dark." ”

"Hey, okay." Qin Lie left shyly and twisted, and Brother Sun laughed at him, "Qin Lie is always like a girl, the amount of alcohol is not good, and he is anxious to urinate when he drinks a little." ”

When Meng Changji heard this, he raised his eyebrows: "He is always like this?" ”

"yes, every time I drink." Brother Sun picked up a peanut and threw it into his mouth, his face vaguely drunk.

Meng Changji's doubts were dispelled, and he persuaded them to drink some wine with confidence.

……

Qin Lie touched the thatched house, and did not enter it immediately, but vigilantly observed the surroundings, listened to all directions, and confirmed that no one was watching nearby, so he pushed open the door of the thatched house and entered.

There was incense lit in the thatched house, the smell was not so bad, he gritted his teeth, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was wrong, they had been in Jindu for a few days, and the master had not moved, and he was still worried for a while, afraid that because the matter was not done, he was thinking about how to deal with them.

But today, Meng Changji suddenly held a reception banquet for them, and the words he said made him feel that he might not have a meal after eating this meal, and the master had no intention of punishing him at all.

Something is wrong, something is so wrong!

He recalled Meng Changji's actions, he also drank the wine, and he also ate the food, if he did it, it could only be ...... Chopsticks or a bowl!

As soon as they came in, the wine was already poured, and maybe his bowl of wine would be different!

Thinking of this, Qin Lie immediately bent down and picked his throat with his fingers, and slashed it twice, a strong feeling of nausea surged, and the wine and food he had just drunk were all spit out.
