Chapter Seventy-One: Threats
In Daqi, although gambling houses are also legal businesses, they are not on the table.
Those who can come to the gambling house have characters from all walks of life, and if they don't have enough strength and background, they will be served sooner or later.
Therefore, Fang Dahai has always been cautious, for fear that something will go wrong.
In Qingxian County, he also has a good relationship with the major squires and wealthy people, and the county government is even more around, which is why he has his current status.
Fang Dahai's eyes narrowed slightly, lying on the wooden couch, quietly enjoying the service of the two maids, and his mind kept turning thoughts.
"I've been practicing this secret book for almost two years, but now I'm just getting started, the Demon Sect exercises have always been practiced extremely fast, why is this practice so difficult to practice?"
Fang Dahai muttered to himself in his heart.
Two years ago, there was a person in his gambling house who owed money and couldn't get the money, and he was about to be killed by him.
Fang Dahai was not a fool either, and he soon learned the origin of this exercise from the ancient books, the Demon Sect's body refining martial arts.
He killed the other party as soon as possible, kept the cheats for himself, and continued to practice, but two years later, he spent a lot of resources before he could barely get started.
This made him very incomprehensible.
However, thinking of the origin of this magic skill, he is hot in his heart, as long as he cultivates this skill to the fullest, he is expected to have three grades in the future, and it is not impossible for him to have four grades.
Suddenly, a voice rang out outside, "Knock" "Knock".
"What?"
Fang Dahai opened his eyes and asked in a low voice.
"Helper, the head of the yamen is here."
The voice outside spoke respectfully.
"Huh? What is he doing at my casino? ”
A flash of surprise flashed in Fang Dahai's eyes.
Qi Zixiao is naturally no stranger to him, after the other party becomes the head catcher, a lot of the money he gave to the yamen will fall into Qi Zixiao's pocket.
The two sides can say that the well water does not interfere with the river water.
"Could it be that someone below has offended the other party?"
Fang Dahai muttered to himself.
"Now the other party is downstairs, it doesn't look like he's here to find fault, there should be something."
A voice outside the room spoke.
"Then what are you waiting for, don't hurry up and invite the other party up, now the three words Qi Zixiao are better than the name of the county order."
Fang Dahai opened his mouth and said, he also got up, waved his hand to let the two women beside him leave.
"Yes, helper."
At this time, Qi Zixiao stood in the gambling house, looking at the noisy and lively crowd with flat eyes, the sound of shaking dice, the sound of roaring, the shouting of excitement after winning, and the frustration after losing, he seemed to see all kinds of life.
"Again, lost again......"
At this time, a middle-aged man in a coarse linen robe looked at the points on the card table with a dejected face, four, four, five, thirteen points old, and he was small.
"Hehe, Zhao Ping, one more game, maybe the next game will turn over......"
Next to him, a man smiled and spoke, he was a big pressure and made a lot of money.
The man named Zhao Ping rummaged through his pockets, extremely shriveled, and then, he looked at the other party, "You lend me one or two, and I will definitely pay you back another day." ”
Seeing that Zhao Ping had no money, the other party pouted, "If you don't have any money, then leave quickly, go back and get the money to play again." ”
"Hehe, Zhao Ping, a gambler, doesn't know how much money he borrowed, not all of them have been lost, counting on him to pay back the money, it is better to believe that those women in Goolan can be good!"
Someone sarcastically spoke.
"This rotten gambler, I heard that he sold his wife, he is really not a person!"
“……”
Hearing everyone's discussions, Qi Zixiao looked at the other party, just glanced at it and looked away, he had seen a lot of this kind of thing in his previous life, how many people gambled and went bankrupt, and their wives were separated.
Therefore, he swore that he would not share the sky with gambling and drugs!
Zhao Ping looked at the people around him and kept begging, "If any of you lend me a tael of silver, I will definitely win the next one, as long as I win, I will return the money to you immediately with interest." ”
But no matter how much he pleaded, everyone stood by and no one lent him money.
"I'm gambling with my own life!"
Seeing this scene, Zhao Ping shouted in a low voice, "I don't believe that I can't turn over!" ”
Hearing this, after the card table, a big man looked at him with a gloomy face, stepped forward directly, grabbed his arm, and threw it outside, "Get out, we are a regular gambling house, who wants your life!" ”
"Qi Zhutou, I'm sorry, I'm sorry to make you laugh, our helper is waiting above, please come with me."
At this time, a figure stood in front of Qi Zixiao and said respectfully.
Qi Zixiao nodded, not surprised, it was also a gang anyway, and it was estimated that the other party would know it when he just stepped here.
"Do you have such gamblers every day in your gambling house?"
Qi Zixiao asked.
He was referring to the man he had just mentioned.
Hearing this, the man explained with a smile, "Open the door to do business, welcome customers from all directions, there are many customers, naturally there are all kinds of goods, but our gambling house has always been a regular operation, and we will never gamble on life and limbs." ”
He also knew that if there was a murder in the gambling house, it would be difficult for the yamen to explain it.
Qi Zixiao nodded, he only believed in this person's words for three points, and those who can do gambling business can have a few words of truth in their mouths.
Soon, he followed the other party to the second floor and entered a room, in the room, Fang Dahai got up from his seat, looked at Qi Zixiao with a smile on his face, and clenched his fists and spoke, "Haha, Qi Zhutou is really honored to come to this gang." ”
"Come, please take a seat, come here, serve tea."
Qi Zixiao sat down and said with a smile at Fang Dahai, "You took the liberty of coming here without prior notice, it's better not to be surprised by Fang Da's gang leader." ”
"What is this Qi Zhutou said, my old party is extremely admirable to Qi Zhutou, the master of the Brave Demon Sect, beheading evil corpses, eliminating evil spirits, which one is not admired by the people, you can come to my cold house, that is to look up to my old party."
Fang Dahai opened his mouth with a humble face.
Before he could figure out Qi Zixiao's intention, he could only say some scenes.
Soon, the maid came in with tea, Qi Zixiao took a sip of tea, looked around, and said with a smile, "Fang Gang Master is at ease, every day of delicacies from the mountains and seas, wine and delicacies, not like our yamen, every day can not finish the case." ”
Hearing this, Fang Dahai's heart moved, could it be that he came to ask for money, if this is the case, then it will be easier to do, he doesn't have much else, that is, he has a lot of money, if he uses money, he can further establish a good relationship with Qi Zixiao, and it is worth some blood.
"Haha, Qi Zhutou is for the benefit of the people, to be honest, what my old party admires the most is a person like Qi Zhutou who is dedicated to the public, I also know that the yamen is busy with official business, and I am willing to offer a hundred taels of silver, so I should give Qi Zhutou and his brothers a little hard money."
Fang Dahai smiled and spoke.
One hundred taels of silver, this is a lot of money, and their iron hand gang will earn three or four hundred taels of silver a month, and they have to fight all parties, this one hundred taels is really a big hemorrhage, but in order to have a good relationship with this new star in the officialdom of Qingxian County, he is also willing to spend blood.
However, Qi Zixiao shook his head.
Fang Dahai's heart sank, could it be that this head catcher's appetite is so big, he is not satisfied with a hundred taels,
"I have enough money, I don't need money."
Qi Zixiao looked at Fang Dahai and said with a smile.
Hearing this, Fang Dahai was a little surprised, he didn't want money, so what did he do here?
However, he smiled on the surface, "It seems that someone on our side has spent the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain." ”
"I heard that Gang Master Fang got a cheatbook by accident before."
Qi Zixiao held the teacup and spoke unhurriedly.
Hearing this, Fang Dahai's eyes froze, "Someone on my side is also a martial artist, so naturally he will also collect some cheats, but compared with the official collection, it should be far inferior, how can Qi Zhutou have such a question?" ”
"The Heart Sutra of Hong Prison is not a third-rate cheat."
Qi Zixiao raised his head, looked at the other party and smiled.
"Boom"
It seemed that a thunderbolt exploded in Fang Dahai's mind, and he looked at Qi Zixiao with a shocked expression, not understanding how Qi Zixiao knew about such a secret thing.
You know, when he first knew about this secret book, he killed all the insiders as soon as possible, how could he still be exposed?
"You, what are you talking about?"
Fang Dahai looked at Qi Zixiao and stammered, to be honest, his first thought was to kill Qi Zixiao, but thinking of Qi Zixiao's strength in dealing with various incidents recently, he immediately gave up this idea.
Just kidding, the third-grade evil corpses have been killed, and he, a second-grade martial artist, still wants to kill Qi Zixiao, dreaming, and, even if he can really do it, he doesn't dare, kill the official mansion to catch the head, this is a slap in the face of the court, and when the time comes, the entire Great Qi will have no way for him to live!
Qi Zixiao looked at Fang Dahai and smiled faintly, "Fang Da Gang Leader, everyone is a smart person, and they don't need to play dumb riddles, I need the Hongjiao Heart Sutra, hand over the cheats, and your Iron Hand Gang's status in Qingxian County will not change." ”
Hearing this, Fang Dahai's face became gloomy, he looked at Qi Zixiao, and said in a low tone, "What if I don't pay it?" ”
"Gang Leader Fang is a smart person, and he should be able to make the right choice."
Qi Zixiao smiled and spoke, he lowered his head, and his tone was very flat, "I'm a very talkative person, others give me face, and I will also give others face, but if others don't give me face, I think, the other party doesn't have to mix in Qingxian." ”
Hearing the naked threat in these words, Fang Dahai's palms immediately clenched, this Hung Hell Heart Sutra was his most important thing, just hand it over like this, he was not willing at all.
Qi Zixiao didn't urge, just sat there quietly, if the other party was a third-grade or fourth-grade martial artist, he would really be a little jealous, if it was like Li Shenzhou, it would be impossible for him to be so directly threatened, but he really didn't care about an iron hand gang, as long as he was willing, it would be peaceful if he brought someone to peace, and the county magistrate would not blame him too much.
Fang Dahai also understood this truth, in terms of status, how could he be comparable to Qi Zixiao.
In a short period of time, he thought about countless thoughts, including assassination, threats, bribery, and so on.
Eventually, however, he dismissed those thoughts.
"Qi Zhutou, can you give me a moment to think about it?"
Fang Dahai smiled bitterly and said.
Hearing this, Qi Zixiao smiled faintly, "Okay, I'll give Gang Master Fang two days to think about it, and the day after tomorrow at this time, I will come again, I hope Gang Master Fang won't let me down." ”
