Chapter 148 The robbers are coming
When Xiao Er gave the wine to Zhou Quming, he had already pretended to be asleep on the bed. Xiao Er saw that the guest was already asleep in bed, and he was embarrassed to wake him up, after all, the other party was quite arrogant, and it was not a wise move to annoy him. The shopkeeper carefully placed the wine on the table, then exited the door and closed the door gently.
After Zhou Quming pricked up his ears and heard the sound of Xiao Er going downstairs, he immediately turned over and got up, tiptoed to lock the door from the inside, and then picked up the wine jar on the table and came to the window.
This house was carefully selected by Zhou Quming, and outside the window is a small alley that no one cares about, although it is only one house away from the main road, but the environment is very different. At this time, the sky had gradually darkened, and Zhou Quming followed the path back to the school.
Ren Xiaohe carefully read Ye Lan's superstitions, and wrote Pei Yuxiang's economic chain in Ziyang City clearly, not only marking those shops that have something to do with Pei Yuxiang, but also writing in detail how these black-hearted merchants oppressed the people.
"Great! With this thing, it is enough to bring down Pei Yuxiang, now we just wait for Feng Shang and the guards of the capital to arrive. Ren Xiao carefully folded the paper and collected it.
"Then isn't it time to let Ye Lan withdraw from the casino?" Zhou Quming asked. Dangkong shook his head and said, "Now is not the time to close the net, there is only benefit and no harm in letting Ye Lan continue to hide in the casino." I think he should have known that himself, so he didn't do anything. ”
Zhou Quming said worriedly: "But those people have begun to doubt me, if it weren't for Ye Lan's reminder today, I'm afraid we would have been exposed!" Zhou Quming still had palpitations when he remembered being followed.
Yi Muke smiled and said, "It's because you've won too much in the past two days! I have already reminded you, don't be insatiable, this will ruin a big deal!"
"Hehe, such a good opportunity, besides, I cooperate with Ye Lan seamlessly, this money is not made in vain. As soon as Zhou Quming mentioned money, he immediately put the nervousness just now behind him. "Okay, I know the proportions, start winning less tomorrow!"
Ren Xiao looked at Zhou Quming's sometimes worried and sometimes happy expression and couldn't help but smile: "Haha, I have really worked hard for you in the past few days, and I specially brought us good wine today, come, let's have a few drinks!" Zhou Quming waved his hand and said: "Forget it, I brought this wine to you, I have drunk enough today, if it weren't for Ye Lan's almost accident, I have to go back quickly, the people in the casino have already begun to inquire about me." ”
After Zhou Quming finished speaking, he poured the wine in the wine jar into an empty jar. This is Tian Yuqi who walked over with a burden and handed it to Zhou Quming, "This is the pad you asked me to help you make, I made it, you can use it!" In the puzzled eyes of everyone, especially Ren Xiao, Zhou Quming hurriedly explained: "With Ye Lan's acting, I have been beaten a lot, and with this thing, I can suffer a little less." ”
Everyone laughed together.
Zhou Quming returned to the "Taifu Tavern" the same way, fortunately, Zhou Quming still had some kung fu, otherwise with his big body, it would still be a little difficult to go up to the second floor quietly. Zhou Quming put the empty wine jar on the table, then scanned the room one by one, and after finding no suspicious places, he opened the door and shouted downstairs: "Little Er, Little Er!"
"Eh, here you are, what do you command?" Xiao Er ran upstairs in a hurry, Zhou Quming said "drunk and hazy": "Go, go to the master, get a bucket of bath water!" Xiao Er answered, and then ran to the back room to boil water.
After a while, Xiao Er filled the barrel with water, and during this time, Zhou Quming had been lying on the bed "snoring".
"Lord, lord. Xiao Er carefully woke up Zhou Quming in the "sleep", "The bath water is ready for you, you use it slowly, I'll go down first, you have something to order." Zhou Quming took out a piece of broken silver from his arms and put it in Xiao Er's hand.
Lying in the barrel, Zhou Quming said to himself: "It's so comfortable! It would be nice if it could be like this every day!" In this way, Zhou Quming slowly fell asleep.
The morning rooster announces the dawn and breaks the dawn. A new day has begun.
Zhou Quming got up from the bed, went downstairs after a simple freshening up, at this time the tavern had just opened, Xiao Er saw that the big customers were coming down, and hurriedly greeted him, "Master, are you going to win money again?" Zhou Quming smiled with a smile on his face: "Well, you kid can talk, if I win money today, I will definitely reward you!"
"Eh, then thank you here!"
"Oh, by the way, you can clean my room in a moment. Zhou Quming swaggered out of the tavern.
The owner of the tavern was accustomed to seeing Zhou Quming go out early and return late these days, but yesterday the people from the casino suddenly came to inquire about this person, which made the owner of the tavern a little worried, and beckoned Xiao Er and said, "Hey, come here, I'll ask you something!"
Seeing that the boss was calling him, Xiao Er hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Boss, what's the matter?"
"Do you know what this is? Don't get me in trouble then!"
"Boss, don't worry, I've inquired clearly, this fat man is from Tianshui, because he owes some gambling debts over there, so he came to our Ziyang to hide debts, but I didn't expect this guy to be very lucky in Ziyang, he has made a lot of money these days, and the people in the casino want to win him over, so I inquired about his details first. ”
The boss nodded thoughtfully, and Xiao Er asked again: "By the way, boss, I heard that you are quite familiar with the pig master in the casino, do you know why the casino is trying to attract these people?" The boss glanced at Xiao Er, and said angrily: "What does this have to do with you, do your job well, by the way, did this fat man reward you?"
Xiao Er subconsciously covered his pocket and said: "Boss, this is for me, you can't ask for it!" The boss raised the abacus on the counter and was about to smash it at Xiao Er, and scolded in his mouth: "You stinky boy don't want to mix up, I have the final say on my territory, take it out for me!"
At the door of the casino, several big men who guarded the door had already been familiar with Zhou Quming, and when they saw him coming again, they stepped forward and said: "Zhou Fatty, I haven't made enough money, and I'm here again today?" Zhou Quming greeted a smile and said: "Haha, who would dislike having a lot of money in their pockets, don't be in a hurry to leave tonight, wait for me to come out and invite a few brothers to drink!"
"Boss Zhou, okay, our brothers are waiting for you!"
Zhou Quming walked into the casino amid the laughter of several people. The outside world is black and white in the morning, but inside the casino, there is never a time limit. As long as you enter the door, then there is a time, a time to win.
The fat pig saw Zhou Quming coming on the second floor, and hurriedly greeted: "Brother Zhou, come up and sit down for a while!" Zhou Quming also waved his hand at him, and went up to the second floor under the guidance of his subordinates.
"Hahaha, Brother Zhou is here to win money again today!" The fat pig's face was full of fat, and his smile made people a little disgusting. Zhou Quming sat directly on a rattan chair, and glanced at Ye Lan next to him.
"Boss Pig, is it that I have made too much money and affected your income? Brother, I also know the rules of the casino, but Boss Pig did not kill my brother, but I am very grateful. Facing Zhou Quming, who was straight to the point, the fat pig was a little surprised, the other party not only knew the operation mode of the casino, but also guessed his own thoughts, although he couldn't guess correctly, but he was also inseparable.
"Hahaha, Brother Zhou is really bold, he never beats around the bush when he speaks, since you said it, then I won't beat around the bush. Brother Zhou's gambling methods are indeed superb, which I admire, so I want Brother Zhou to work for my casino, how about it, of course, I will not treat you badly. ”
Zhou Quming leaned back on the rattan chair and smiled, "What if I refuse?"
"No, no, no, I believe Brother Zhou will not refuse!" The fat pig's confident eyes were full of disgust.
"Oh, why?" Zhou Quming sat up straight.
"If Brother Zhou doesn't want to repeat the mistakes of Tianshui, he will definitely agree to cooperate with me!"
Zhou Quming pretended to be stunned and said with a smile: "It seems that Boss Pig has made my bottom clear, which makes me a little creepy!"
"Hahaha, Brother Zhou, don't worry, it doesn't matter if you don't agree, the business is not benevolent, we are still friends!" The fat pig was obviously full of murderous intent when he said this. How could Zhou Quming not understand what the other party meant, if he refused his invitation today, then even if Ye Lan was there, I am afraid it would be difficult for him to walk out of the casino unharmed.
Just when the scene was tense, someone suddenly broke into the casino and shouted: "Oh no, the robbers are attacking the city! Everyone is going to the city wall to help defend it!"
As soon as these words came out, the entire casino instantly turned into a pot of porridge, and the fat pig stood up from the chair specially made for himself, and his brain quickly thought about the reliability of this matter, and at this moment, one of his subordinates ran over and whispered a few words in the fat pig's ear. The fat pig's face immediately changed, and he beckoned all the guys in the casino and said, "Brothers, copy the guy and follow me to defend the city!"
At this time, the casino was completely chaotic, Zhou Quming was sitting there alone and hadn't reacted, Ye Lan whispered when he passed by him: "Go and inform Ren Xiao of them!"
After Ye Lan's reminder, Zhou Quming reacted and hurriedly ran to the door.
At this time, the streets were already in chaos, and there were people running everywhere, and everyone was panicking and looking for shelter. But in the messy crowd, there were some people with steel knives and spears in their hands, and they ran towards the city wall in unison. Zhou Quming saw everything in his eyes and silently wrote it down.
"Quick, everyone, hide in the basement!" Du Wenyuan and several teachers from the school were organizing the students to hide in the basement in an orderly manner. Ren Xiaohe stood guard at the door of the school hall in case of accidents. Seeing Zhou Quming running over from afar, Ren Xiao asked, "Is it really a robber who came over?"
Zhou Quming nodded, and before he could ask Ren Xiao what to do next, Ren Xiao had already spoken: "You help Qiqi and Yi Muke protect these children, and I will go to the city wall with my second brother to have a look!"
