In this case, we might as well invite more people to come and help us testify, even if the juniors lose, then we will be convinced, and we will avoid some people talking nonsense in the future. Jiang Ming's eyes were like torches looking at Hu Wang and the four deacons.

After all, the competition between Yuanfang is also a big event, and there is naturally no harm in having more bystanders. Hu Wang thought he was sure of winning and didn't care.

"Li San, Zhang Tong, the two of you quickly go and invite all the other Yuanfang shopkeepers on this street, and the idlers on the street should also be called. Hu Wang instructed his subordinates.

The two of them immediately received the order, and in less than a quarter of an hour, the two of them poured into Lao Luo Yuanfang with twenty or thirty people.

"Shopkeeper's. Shopkeeper Wang, Shopkeeper Ba, and Shopkeeper Sun have all been invited, and there are also some vendors, do you see that there are enough people?" Li San asked.

Hu Wang and the three shopkeepers gestured to each other, turned around and stroked the goat's whiskers proudly, and said to Jiang Ming: "Brother Jiang, do you think it's okay? If it's not enough, I can also ask them to invite some more." ”

"Enough is enough, thank you seniors for giving Lao Luo face, and thank you for your care of Xiao Jiang. Jiang Ming was almost to the end, and his attitude was quite sincere.

"Cut stones!" began to shout as soon as there were many people, and the middle-aged deacon who was the leader was obviously a little impatient.

The four deacons went straight to the long table, and Jiang Ming and Hu Wang each handed over their five stones to the two deacons.

At this time, everyone present gathered around, and the audience was silent, and everyone almost held their breath.

The two deacons each took out a finger-wide silver knife from their sleeves, the handle of which was five inches long, but the blade was only one inch, and the glitter on the knife was very sharp at a glance.

The two deacons began at the same time, holding a knife in their right hand and a stone in their left, and carefully began to cut layer by layer like peeling a fruit.

Both of them are veterans, and with the sharpness of the stone knives, the stone has to be easily peeled off layer by layer, and the inside of the stone begins to be gradually revealed in front of everyone's eyes.

Not...

A cautious exclamation suddenly erupted from the staring crowd. It turned out that the deacon in charge of the Huwang stone had already peeled out a transparent yuan stone the size of a pigeon's egg from the yuan stone in his hand.

"Hu Wang, Bai Yuan. The third deacon sang aloud.

Hu Wang's eyes were slightly closed, his hands stroked his beard, and he nodded with satisfaction.

On the other hand, on Jiang Ming's side, a whole stone had been cut into pieces of uniform thickness after a while, but nothing was found.

"Jiang Ming, empty stone. The deacon sang again. The face is expressionless.

The Yuan stone was cut one by one, and when the two of them cut to the fourth at the same time, Jiang Ming and Hu Wang's two stones, this was almost the same time to cut out the Yuan stone, the two deacons were careful to peel out the two Yuan stones, Hu Wang cut out the flat circle as the size of a copper coin, Jiang Ming's is a knuckle-sized strip, which is the most common transparent white yuan.

Soon, all the ten stones were cut, Jiang Ming got one yuan, and Hu Wang got two yuan.

The noise in the crowd roared, and everyone talked about it, cheered, and sighed. There are other voices as well.

only listened to one person: "Alas, it's a pity that there will be no more old Luo Yuanfang on this street." ”

"Hu Wang, this dog is a bully, if Luo Lao Er is here, where can he be allowed to show off. Hmph!" said the other.

"Hu Wang has been active frequently in the past two months, and he has won three Yuanfangs in succession, this is already the fourth, and every time he has the help of people from the Yuanhui, how could he, who has always been a third-rate, suddenly have such a powerful ability..."Some people in the crowd also questioned.

The deacon at the head stood up and motioned for silence with his hands. Silence in the lobby is back again.

According to the gambling contract, Jiang Ming needs to hand over all the properties of Luo's Yuanfang and move out within three days. His voice was loud, and his face remained unchanged, as if he had no emotion.

"Hahahaha, accept and concede, everyone has seen it, my old Hu Ke did not bully Brother Jiang, everyone relies on their own abilities, and is willing to gamble and lose, my Sanqin son, a bloody man, will never drag mud and water. You see what I'm talking nonsense about, right, Brother Jiang?" Hu Wang's smugness was overflowing, first polite to the crowd, but the second half of the sentence turned to Jiang Ming.

At this time, Jiang Ming, who has been almost isolated to the side, looks extremely thin for some reason, most of the people in this group are also neighbors for several years, and even many people have asked him, everyone gets along on weekdays, exchanges courtesies, and also takes care of each other.

And at this moment, Jiang Ming lost Yuanfang, and they immediately alienated in unison, and those who were originally gathered behind Jiang Ming also subconsciously retreated to the side.

Jiang Ming sneered at the corner of his mouth. Since he was picked up by Lao Luo, he hadn't felt this way for a long time. At this moment, his body trembled a little, as if he had returned to the endless darkness in his dream, the ghost cried and the wolf howled, the wind was roaring, and there was no trace of human warmth.

People are selfish creatures, they will get close to you when they are profitable, and they will avoid you in a hurry when they are not profitable.

"Wait!" Jiang Ming took a step abruptly, pinched out a flat slice about the size of a thumb cap from the fragments on the long table, handed it to the deacon who cut the yuan, and said:

"This senior, please cut everything carefully. Jiang Ming's face was calm, but his face was a little blue.

The deacon had already stood up at this moment, and his condescending eyes could not hide his contempt: "Zhang has been a deacon for fifteen years and has never cut a stone wrongly, little brother really doesn't think that there will be a yuan stone in this thin slice, right?"

Hearing this, the crowd burst into laughter.

"Hey, Jiang Ming, you can afford to lose, what's the matter with you? Lao Luo is a decent person. The shopkeeper Sun from the corner of the street mocked.

Jiang Ming remembered that he was squeezed out by Hu Wang and others back then, and when he moved to this street, Lao Luo and the others helped him a lot. At that time, he was so moved that he had a handful of snot and tears, and knelt down for Lao Luo.

"Xiao Jiang, as an elder, you have the obligation to say two words to you, if you lose, you will lose, and our Yuanfang on this street will have a dull face, and let people look down on us. Shopkeeper Wang also stood up, his tone stern.

The shopkeeper couldn't stand anymore: "Jiang Ming, quickly hand over the keys to Yuanfang and Yuanku, the deacons of the Yuanhui are noble, and they can't allow you to mess around here!"

"Is it? you don't cut it, how can I cut it?" Jiang Ming's cold eyes swept over everyone, he would keep all these faces in his heart, and then look directly at Deacon Zhang.

Deacon Zhang sneered: "If you cut it, if Zhang is bad, the Yuan Association will punish it, if it is still empty, I can't say that Zhang will have your eyes today!"

"Good..."

Jiang Ming pinched the slice in front of everyone's eyes, the "Yuan Blood" in his body rotated, and the strength of his thumb and index finger suddenly increased, and when the two fingers joined forces, he saw the black and gray stone chips falling one after another, and a little dazzling black light seemed to appear between Jiang Ming's two fingers out of thin air.

Although the black light was small, it was also extremely dazzling in the bright lobby.

"It's... Is it?"

In front of everyone's eyes, it was naturally not Jiang Ming's fraud.

The crowd was noisy again, and the entire lobby was suddenly full of people, and the exclamations were endless.

"Senior, please see, what is this!" Jiang Ming placed a black spar the size of a millet grain on the table of the elder at the head. Although the dazzling black spar was only a tiny size, it was surrounded by a fist-sized black light, and even a mortal could tell at a glance that this black stone was by no means ordinary.

"It's such a rich fluctuation of Yuan Power! This is Obsidian! The best Black Yuan!" the deacon, who had never spoken, stood up in surprise.

Everyone present looked at each other, and the fat on Hu Wang's face kept shaking at this time, and in this moment, countless fine beads of sweat had oozed from his forehead.

"Now everyone has cut out two yuan stones, and although this one is small, Senior Li has already asserted that it is Hei Yuan, and I ask Deacon Cao to judge the victory or defeat this time. Jiang Ming's face was expressionless, and he bowed his hand to Cao Guang, who was the leader.

"That's... It is indeed Hei Yuan, according to the rules of the Yuan Society, it is two Yuan Stones, naturally the party with the highest grade wins, you, win!" Cao Guang hesitated, but the Yuan Society has been established for a thousand years, and the prestige under the eyes of everyone cannot afford to be missed, although he secretly gave people a handle, and there are some things that he has to do, but he can't openly favor them in this public.

"Hu Wang, you hand over all the Yuanfang property under your name within three days, otherwise someone from Yuanhui will help you complete it, let's go!" Cao Guang flicked his sleeves fiercely, broke through the crowd, and took the people of Yuanhui and went away.

For a time, the situation changed, with ups and downs. The expressions on everyone's faces almost froze.

"Well done, Xiao Jiang really deserves to be Lao Luo's proud protégé, I said a long time ago that you will become a great weapon in the future!"

The shopkeeper is known for being sleek, and he is not to be outdone: "Not bad, Jiang Chaofeng's eyes are like torches, he is really terrifying, and the future is limitless!"

Shopkeeper Sun seemed to be a little unbearable, and he didn't know when he had secretly squeezed through the crowd and left.

Hu Wangqiang supported his weak legs and bowed his hand to Jiang Ming: "Please Jiang Chaofeng come to collect my Hu family's four Yuanfang the day after tomorrow, Hu Mou will accept defeat, and then he will leave." ”

The two Tsing Yi house slaves helped Hu Wang, who was already weak at this time, out of Yuanfang.

The congratulatory voices were as enduring as a tsunami, and the news quickly spread all over the streets and alleys and the ancient Kaiyuan City. A discerning person can see that Jiang Ming alone is already the master of the five Yuanfang at this moment, and his strength is not the same as before, so he is immediately ready to win over or cling to him.

There are also people who are jealous, looking at Jiang Ming's yellow-haired erection, empty and evil.

The human heart is unpredictable, and so on.

Hu Wang returned home, and after the next person left, he was still angry and couldn't swallow this breath, held it for a long time, and spurted out a mouthful of stuffy blood.

As he was holding his chest and humming, the wall behind him rippled like water waves, and the black mist filled the ripples, and a black deadwood cane poked its head out of the center of the ripples first, and then a rickety figure shrouded in black robes walked out.

In the bedroom, the temperature plummeted, and with every step the figure took, a layer of ice rose where the soles of his feet touched the ground.
