Tonight, the lights in front of the Integrity Dart Bureau went out, and the news of the explosion spread like thunder. What's going on? Is the sky falling? Is the ground sinking? No, but the lights in front of the door of the integrity dart board have gone out.

It seems that the sky can collapse, the earth can fall, but the light in front of the door of the integrity dart game cannot be extinguished at night. However, the lights in front of the Integrity Dart Game really went out.

Passers-by stopped, and others rushed to hear the news. For a time, many people gathered outside the door of the integrity dart bureau. Everyone pointed and asked each other, but no one could explain clearly.

Yuzi Street, in the capital, this is really a very inconspicuous street. When it comes to the royal street in the capital, no one knows it, and no one knows it. And Yuzi Street is so famous because of the integrity of the dart bureau on this street. It is the name of Yuzi Street, and it is also because of the integrity of the dart game.

During the day, the door of the Integrity Dart Board is not closed. At night, as soon as the gate closes, the light in front of the door is on. The lights were on until dawn, until the gates were opened.

Most of each place has a landmark, which can be a high ground on flat ground, a temple in the mountains, or a special structure. And the lamp of the integrity dart board is the landmark of this large area. The lamp in front of the door of the Integrity Dart Bureau is not a high-hanging lantern, but is embedded in the doorpost, and there is a glass cover on the outside. The wind can't blow and the rain can't get wet, so whether it's a windy night or a rainstorm night, as long as it's night, all year round, year after year, the light of the integrity dart board is always on.

When did it start? No one in the neighborhood can tell. In fact, no one seems to ask about this, because, at night, the light in front of the door of the integrity dart bureau is on, which seems to be a matter of course. Since it's night, how can the lights in front of the door of the integrity dart game not turn on?

I heard that a foreigner once curiously asked a white-bearded old man who lived on this street: When did the light in front of the door of the honest dart board start to be on at night? The old man stroked his white beard and groaned for a long time, but finally shook his head, saying that he couldn't tell, anyway, the light had been on since he could remember.

This light can show pedestrians the way in the dark of night, but it is not the main thing, because for those who want to seek refuge, it means peace and paradise. Because no matter who you offend, no matter how big a thing you do, as long as you step into the door of the integrity dart game, no one will trouble you anymore, and you will be safe.

Of course, as long as you walk out of the door of the integrity dart game, everything can only rely on yourself. The so-called one foot in the door and one foot outside the door may come from here.

Even if it is the official yamen, it has to give face to the integrity dart bureau. Do you see a few big characters on the door plaque?, that is the imperial pen of Emperor Taizu of the current dynasty. It's not because of anything else, because Emperor Taizu once avoided trouble in the integrity dart game when he was in trouble. The sentence "There is a pure land under the feet of a lonely family" is the grace of Grandpa Taizu to the integrity of the dart game.

From this, we can see what kind of existence the integrity dart game is.

Something must have happened to the integrity dart game, yes, what happened?

The lights in front of the door of the Integrity Dart Bureau were off, but at this moment, the lights in the hall were on. This is the place where the dart board deliberates, and it is also a place to receive customers.

The hall is spacious and luxuriously furnished. However, at this moment, the atmosphere in the hall was depressing and deserted. Around a large oval table, there were more than a dozen people, and everyone's expressions were solemn. There are not many people, but they are very fine, and it is a collection of all the important characters in the game.

"Master, have you really reached this step? Is it really over?" said the big apprentice of the head of the dart game.

His surname is Lei Zizhen, he is in his thirties, medium build, and at first glance he is a practitioner, and he is also a very shrewd and capable person. On weekdays, he takes care of the daily affairs of the dart game. Hearing his words, everyone's eyes looked at the person sitting in the chair of the first prince.

The person who is called the master is Yan Tao, the head of the dart game. Although he was now cowering in the Taishi chair, he could see that this person was tall and burly. With a Chinese character face and sideburns, he looks less than fifty years old. Before this, no matter who saw him for the first time, he could feel that this was a man who could not do anything, and who was full of pride and pride in his words.

Seeing Yan Tao like this now, everyone will believe that the story of Wu Zixu's white head overnight is definitely not made up. Because Yan Tao seems to have suddenly grown old, although his hair is not gray, he has aged a lot, a lot, all of a sudden, as if all his spirit and spirit have turned into nothing.

The hall was quiet, no one spoke, everyone was waiting for the master to speak.

After waiting for a long time, Yan Tao moved, "I have already said what I should say, I have made up my mind, and I can still rescue some of the silver taels now, and place everyone in the dart game." Although the resettlement fee for everyone is not much, but buying some real estate, there will not be any worries about food and clothing. Yan Tao was resolute.

"I bought all the real estate and real estate of the dart board, and there is no penny for the settlement fee of the dart and everyone, what do you and your wife live on. Lei Zizhen then asked.

"Master's hometown still has a few grass houses and a few acres of thin fields, and your master and I are still physically strong and can still work. ”

When the catastrophe came, they flew separately, but the first thing that their apprentices thought of at such a time was their own master, Yan Tao glanced at his beloved apprentice with emotion.

"Master, I'm not like a senior brother, he has a big family to support. I'm just alone, I don't want any Laoshizi placement fee, I'll follow the master wherever he goes, everyone can rest assured, I will support the master and my wife. It was Yan Tao's little apprentice Yan Laishun who spoke, an orphan picked up by Yan Tao on the side of the road and raised, so he followed his surname.

This is a straight-hearted person, although he is not as good at planning as his senior brother Lei Zizhen, but he is very popular among everyone.

Yan Tao had no children under his knees, and only accepted two apprentices in his life. Listening to the words of his little apprentice, this steel man's eyes were a little wet.

"Master, we all listen to you, but I still want to talk about an idea. Lei Zizhen said, asking for the master's opinion with his eyes, and seeing that the master nodded slightly, he continued: "Everyone doesn't want to take the placement fee, but they still want to share the hardships with the dart board." If you cash out all the real estate and part of the real estate, plus the resettlement fee that everyone does not take, and raise a small amount of debt, you should be able to make up enough money for the loss dart. Is it possible to keep our dart board? The reputation of our dart board is so good, if there is a dart board, there will be business, and we will have hope to make a comeback. As he spoke, Lei Zizhen looked at everyone, obviously wanting everyone to help him speak.

Several of the dart masters present did not speak, but nodded approvingly, indicating their attitude.

Yan Tao looked at Lei Zizhen, then looked at everyone, and sighed, "I understand everyone's feelings, why don't I want to, I am willing to destroy the century-old foundation of the integrity of the dart game in my hands? Empty-handed and even have to borrow money to operate, what kind of credibility and business can we talk about? The big husband stands between heaven and earth to do something, and he does not do something, and people can only do what they can do. When it's time to stop, we can give ourselves some leeway. ”

"Head of the family, can I say a few words?" It was Fu Sheng, the housekeeper of the dart bureau, and Yan Tao's think tank. He is small and thin, but his eyes are piercing. He has never opened Chrysostom since the dart game. Seeing that Yan Tao had raised his hand, he continued: "Family master, don't you think that our loss this time is too strange?" The housekeeper paused here when he said this, looked at everyone, saw that everyone was paying attention, and continued: "I don't think we can afford to suffer this dumb loss in vain. I also think that Zizhen's words should be considered, if we continue to do it, we will have a chance to make this matter clear. The other party's purpose is to bring us down, and if we break up from now on, we will follow their wishes, and there will be no more chance. And even if we figure things out, the dart game is gone, and there is no point. ”

For this think tank, Yan Tao has always been obedient. But this time, he shook his head, "Brother Fu, it's Master Qin who is holding the dart! we can suspect anyone, but can we suspect Master Qin?"

"Yes, Master Qin won't calculate us, but what if he is also calculated?"

"It's not like I've never thought about that. However, in such a bad year, someone can take over our property and real estate at once, and the price given does not take advantage of our danger, and the opportunity is hard to find. If someone attacks us, they can be so fearless, and such a drop of water is not leaky, it is by no means comparable to ordinary forces, and we may find it difficult for us to be enemies. The dart game is not just me, nor a few of us, there are dozens of people up and down, and we can't ignore their lives or deaths. ”

"Yes, we have many difficulties and are in danger, but why not let go of Yibo instead of bowing our heads?" Fu Sheng's eyes flashed.

Yan Tao's body straightened, his eyes widened, and he seemed to be moved by the passion of the housekeeper. But it only lasted for a short time, and soon the body shrank back again. He was about to say something, when the porter came in to report that someone from outside had come to talk about business.

"Didn't you tell him that the lights in front of the door were off?" Lei Zizhen said angrily to the porter.

"Can you not say it? But people say that they are coming to turn off the lights, saying that it is a big deal, don't miss the opportunity. ”

Yan Tao asked Fu Sheng's opinion with his eyes, "No matter what, the business is not benevolent, so why not come in and talk?" After listening to the housekeeper's words, Yan Tao instructed the porter to invite someone to come in and talk. The other people in the room saw that they were going to talk about business, and they got up to leave, but they were stopped by Yan Tao: "There are no outsiders, at this time of life and death, we will all advance and retreat together." ”

The person who came was a tall and thin man, with a slightly hunched back, and it was difficult to judge his exact age from an expressionless face, which should be similar to Yan Tao's age in general.

After sitting down, the person who came looked at the people present, and then looked at Yan Tao who was sitting on the first seat, and stopped talking.

Yan Tao smiled at the visitor and said politely: "It's okay, it's all my own family, no matter what the guest officer has to say, you might as well say it directly." ”

After listening to Yan Tao's words, the visitor nodded appreciatively: "Looking for Yan Lao's dart head here, what else can you do besides holding the dart?" As he spoke, he took out two stacked pieces of paper from his pocket and opened them casually, "The dart book has been written by my master, in duplicate, and it is also stamped, you can take a look, if there is nothing wrong, it will be stamped with your seal." After speaking, he handed the dart book to Yan Tao.

When Yan Tao took it, the housekeeper also came over, but when they saw the dart, the two of them invariably let out a sigh, and the number of darts was completely beyond their imagination. This huge sum of money is undoubtedly a relief for the current dart game, no, it is enough to save the dart board in danger.

The two looked at each other heartily, and then looked carefully at the dart book, which was decent, but the dart was not clear, which was also a common thing.

"May I ask who your bodyguard is?" If you ask what a dart is, you may be disrespectful. Yan Tao is deep in this way after all. He was trying to keep his peace at the moment, and although his heart was full of turmoil, his words were still leaking.

"It's my young master who went out on a long trip. The person came and said plainly.

People are priceless, of course, depending on who they are. Young masters go out to the far door at such a cost, although such a thing is rare, but it is not impossible to happen. It's just that this is definitely a big family. Yan Tao should know everything about people like Yan Tao in Beijing. But a closer look at the seals and signatures is unheard of.

"May I ask where is your home?" Yan Tao was once bitten by a snake, and he was afraid of the well rope for ten years, he was afraid that this was a prank, and he was even more afraid that he would delay the business.

"Yan Lao Dart, I'm sorry, it's inconvenient to tell you. Yan Tao and the housekeeper looked at each other quickly.
