Chapter 15: The Beginning of Suspicion II
I picked up the wooden gun that He Yun had dropped on the ground and looked left and right, only to see that the wood on the tip of the spear had already bloomed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info We both used weapons made of wood, which were blunt, and his wooden spear could poke a hole in a mahogany pillar. Then the power of his shot can be described as extremely great.
Coupled with the strange look I had just caught in his eyes, I could feel that He Yun seemed to hate me, and that shot seemed to kill me.
What's going on?
Since the opening of the dart game, I have always been very good to the brothers in the dart game, treating them like senior brothers, they are also obedient and respectful to me, although the time between me and them is not too long, but it is also a brother. I will not send them less every month, and I will give them a very high monthly gift, good wine and good meat on weekdays, food, clothing, housing and transportation are all covered, it can be said that the life of the brothers in the dart game is not bad, compared to the guys in the general business house are better. My brothers in the game treated me with respect, and no one was ever dissatisfied with me.
What's going on with He Yun?
I think I treat him well, except for Baili Tu, he has the highest status in the dart game among the five dart masters, and when I am not in the dart game with Baili Tu, I will also hand over the dart game to him to be responsible, and he should not have a grudge against me in his heart.
Somewhat puzzled, I put away my wooden sword and gun, went to the room, changed into clean clothes, and walked to the front hall.
In the front hall, Zhou Bozheng and several guys were sorting out the dart, seeing me coming, these guys greeted me together, Zhou Bo smiled and said: "Dart, you are up, I will order someone to prepare some morning meal for Darthead." ā
I said, "No need Uncle Zhou, I'm not hungry." Did Master Wei's cloth go?"
Zhou Bo said with a smile: "The dart just came out, the dart played by Zhang Han and Li Shubai. ā
I thought for a while and said, "Uncle Zhou, when I dart this time, did anything happen in the dart line?"
Zhou Bodao: "Back to the darthead, nothing happened. ā
I said, "Have you ever had any unusual feelings with the brothers in the dart shop lately?"
Zhou Bo said strangely: "Abnormal mood? Why did the dart head suddenly ask such a thing?"
I smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just want to know how my brothers are doing lately." ā
Zhou Bo said with a smile: "The blessing of the dart head, the brothers in the dart line eat well and dress warmly, and they are not comfortable, everyone is praising the dart head for his benevolence and righteousness, and it is too late to be happy, where is there any abnormal mood." ā
He suddenly thought of something, and said: "By the way, Boss Wu of Wanyuan Gambling House asked someone to bring a message, saying that at noon, please invite the dart head to go to the Eight Immortals Building for a gathering." ā
Eight Immortal Tower, the most famous restaurant in Chenzhou City. Every time I finished delivering goods for Wu Chengbang, he would invite me to sit in the Eight Immortals Tower, and not only him, but also the shopkeepers of other shops would invite me to drink after I finished delivering the goods for them. Originally, my alcohol consumption was not very good, and even I was a little resistant to wine, but even I did not expect that my alcohol consumption would be large enough to compete with Baili in just one year. Even now, when I drink alcohol, I always feel like I can't drink enough.
In fact, this is also a social exchange, it can be said that my alcohol consumption is forced out, if it is not often mixed with these people with heads and faces in Chenzhou City, where would there be such a good business in the world. I guess this is also a way of life.
However, I often laughed at myself in my heart, but I didn't expect that I would become a drunkard in the market. I don't know what to say.
There was basically not much to do in the morning in the dart game, and at noon, I walked to the Eight Immortals Tower with Uncle Zhou. And He Yun's abnormality was also left behind by me, only to say that he was in a bad mood for a while.
There is a kind of wine in the Eight Immortals Building, called Eight Immortals Wine, which is mellow and sweet, but I don't know how to taste it. Hence the name of the Eight Immortal Towers.
When Uncle Zhou and I arrived at the gate of the Eight Immortals Building, a guy from the restaurant greeted him and said with a smile: "Gu Darttou, please come in quickly, Boss Wu has been waiting for a long time." ā
With that, this fellow led the way in front and led us to the private room on the second floor of the Eight Immortals Building. There are only eight private rooms in the Eight Immortal Tower, each of which has a small alias, and the private room we went to is called Qingfeng Pavilion. Although Chenzhou is not very prosperous, the locals are very good at enjoying it.
In the Qingfeng Pavilion, Wu Chengbang was dressed in a brocade robe and sat in the middle, and there were two evil-looking men standing behind him. The people of Wu Chengbang are very fat, fatter than Zhang Han, with a fat head and big ears, a big belly, and the same as Zhang Han, with a smiling face of Maitreya Buddha. It seems that all fat people have a smiling face of Maitreya Buddha.
Seeing us walk in, Wu Chengbang smiled and said, "Oh, Gu Darttou, sit down quickly, we don't want to get drunk today." ā
I sat down across from him and said with a smile: "Thanks to Boss Wu's hospitality, Gu is very honored." ā
Wu Chengbang said: "Where to say, I want to thank you, if it weren't for you, how could my goods reach Yongzhou safely? I'm afraid that I would have been robbed by robbers halfway." ā
I smiled and said, "It's just a matter of receiving people's money and protecting people from disasters, this is a matter of our dart game, and it should be so." ā
Wu Chengbang said: "Gu Darthead doesn't have to be so polite, you and I don't do business once or twice, I believe in your dart game more than those who claim to be 'superb in martial arts and can protect people's wealth' on the street." ā
I said: "Our dart game is just an industry that does not enter the stream, and Boss Wu is serious. ā
Wu Chengbang said with a smile: "Although it is not recognized by the imperial court, your dart bureau has indeed done a lot of good things for us." Come, Gu Darthead, I toast you. ā
In fact, speaking of which, the industry of the dart bureau is not an orthodox industry, there are special escort troops in the court of the Great Song Dynasty, who are responsible for escorting the tribute of the imperial court, and the dart bureau is just an imitation industry of the escort industry. Within the imperial court, the industry of the dart board was regarded as a "pheasant march", and the court did not recognize the existence of the industry of the dart board. However, although the imperial court did not recognize the existence of the dart industry, the dart game was loved by private businessmen, and the imperial court did not control it.
I drank a glass with Wu Chengbang, and I felt that the Eight Immortals wine was spicy in my throat and full of strength.
Wu Chengbang smacked his lips and said, "Gu Darttou, I heard that you encountered strange things on the way back, what is the strange thing?"
I couldn't help but smile bitterly, the rumors spread really fast. We just returned to the dart game last night, and Wu Chengbang's side already knew about it. But it's normal to think about it, there are many people in the gambling house in Wu Chengbang, and the news is naturally very well-informed.
Uncle Zhou poured me a full bottle of wine, and I said, "It was in Niujiao Mountain, and we had just arrived at the foot of Niujiao Mountain......
I unhurriedly told the story of meeting Tao Qingfeng, my eloquence was not very good, but it was also quite detailed. Maybe Wu Chengbang already knew about the strange things we encountered in the gambling house, but when he heard me say it himself, he was still stunned.
When I finished talking about the matter, Wu Chengbang's face showed a look of shock. After a while, Wu Chengbang sighed: "The evil art of the Western Regions is really terrifying, Gu Dart's ability to retreat with his whole body is really admirable. ā
At this time, a thin man on the left behind Wu Chengbang smiled and said, "Master, have you forgotten that Qi Dajiao in the east of the city knows some techniques of the Western Regions?"
Wu Chengbang said: "Where does he know the art of the Western Regions, he is just a pariah who is addicted to gambling." ā
I was stunned and said, "Who is Qi Dajia?"
Wu Chengbang smiled and said: "Qi Dajia is a person from the corpse room of the state government, and he often comes to my gambling house to gamble money, he often claims that he knows the art of the Western Regions, and often plays some strange tricks in my gambling house. However, his so-called Western Regions Technique is nothing more than empty words, and none of the thaumaturgy he has performed has won him money, but he owes me a large debt, and he is actually a madman. ā
I smiled and said, "If he knows the art of the Western Regions, won't all the dead in the corpse be resurrected?"
Wu Chengbang laughed and said, "Don't mention these dead and alive, come, Brother Gu, let's drink wine and eat meat." ā
It's not once or twice that I've drunk with Wu Chengbang, and I'm not polite to him, drinking wine while eating meat.
In fact, this kind of small life is also very comfortable, if you don't encounter some trouble such as bandits and bandits when you go darts, the life in the dart game also makes me feel very comfortable.
I was drinking with Wu Chengbang when suddenly there was a quick knock on the door, and a voice said, "Dart, are you inside?"
I put down the wine glass and turned my head to look, Zhou Bo had already opened the door, only to see Zhu Kui hurriedly running in, hugging his fist at me, and said, "Dart, it's a big deal, you can go back and have a look?"
I was startled and said, "What is it that makes you panic?" ā
Zhu Kui gasped and said, "Master Shi was killed. ā
"What?!"
I stood up abruptly, exclaimed at the same time as Uncle Zhou, and said, "Who killed you?"
Zhu Kui said: "I don't know, Baili Dart Master and Master Huang are already in the dart game, and the special villain came to call the dart head." ā
I hugged my fist at Wu Chengbang and said, "Boss Wu, our banquet will be drunk another day and say goodbye." ā
After speaking, I didn't wait for Wu Chengbang to reply, and rushed out of Qingfeng Pavilion with Zhou Bo and Zhu Kui. Out of the Eight Immortals Tower, hurried to the dart bureau. (To be continued.) )
