【098】The duel begins
Zhou Jinfeng stood in the empty lobby, looked up at the plaque on the wall that read "Darts in the World", and let out a long sigh. There are only two of the 51 dart masters left in the General Administration of Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info one is Zhu Xiaonian, who has just debuted, and one is an old dart master Liu Fuju, and then there are more than a dozen executioners left. This time, Lisheng Super did a great job!
"It's okay if they're all gone, anyway, the competition with Wuwei Dart Game after the New Year is also more losses and fewer wins, and it makes no difference if you close the door earlier and close it later. Zhou Jinfeng muttered to himself while touching the carved screen of "Tiger Descending the Mountain".
Although he said it easily, it could be seen from his cheeks bulging from clenching his teeth that he was not at peace in his heart, and he was unwilling. Dad is still lying on the hospital bed, chattering about the revitalization of the dart game every day, and now this situation makes him explain to his father. Although there are two branches in Chongqing, Chongqing and Qinzhou, Shaanxi, but those two branches were opened by the second uncle and the third uncle, and the father and the two brothers have long been separated. Now that the General Administration has closed, the two will be happy.
After a long sigh, Zhou Jinfeng called the housekeeper Zhao Linfu: "Old Zhao, go and untie the flag at the door, and then order everyone to gather in the lobby." ”
Zhao Linfu has served the Zhou family for three generations, and now he is 70 years old, he said with tears in his eyes: "Young master, don't be discouraged, you must cheer up." ”
Zhou Jinfeng shook his head and said nothing. Zhao Linfu sighed and staggered away.
The flag of the end of the world was lowered, and the bare flagpole was lonely and desolate in the cold wind.
After a while, Zhu Xiaonian, Liu Fuju and more than a dozen executioners came. Zhou Jinfeng perked up and said: "Brothers, everyone has made a lot of efforts in the past few years, and Zhou is very grateful, but everyone has also seen the situation now, this dart game is ...... I am going to take a break from business, and I can only say goodbye to all of you. I'm sorry that I couldn't give you a good future, so Zhou won't compensate you again!" he bowed deeply.
The people below hurriedly returned the salute, whether it was sincere or deliberate, and many people had tears in their eyes.
Zhou Jinfeng got up and said: "There is some silver here, you can take it to do some business, buy some properties, go to the other two branches or find another high." Even if it is a little bit of Zhou's mind, Zhou is incompetent, and he can only do this. As he spoke, he took out a stack of sealed red envelopes with his name written on them, and said to the housekeeper, "Lao Zhao, send it down." ”
Most of these executioners who stayed behind were waiting for this severance pay, and most of them were surprised when they received the red envelopes and saw the number. Only a small number of people shook their heads and said no, most of these people were favored by the Zhou family, and they were determined to follow the Zhou family, and Zhu Xiaonian and Liu Fuju didn't want it.
walked and scattered, and finally left 6 people, Zhao Linfu, Zhu Xiaonian, Liu Fuju and 3 executioners. Zhou Jinfeng nodded with satisfaction and asked about the wishes of several people. The three executioners said that as long as they stayed in the Zhou family, they would be willing to be cattle and horses. And Zhu Xiaonian and Liu Fuju reacted surprisingly consistently, they asked: "Will you really stay?"
Zhou Jinfeng was stunned for a moment, only then did he realize that Yuan Xiaoguan didn't come, and he couldn't help but be angry. This time, the dart game was closed and everyone was dismissed, completely because of Yuan Xiaoguan, he had just fallen out with the Golden Bull Martial Arts Hall for him, and he thought that he could rely on the strength of his master to make a comeback, but this guy signed a life-and-death duel with others on the back foot, and the opponent was still the "money leopard" Hu Gui, isn't this looking for death? If he dies, isn't he a bamboo basket to draw water? And tonight he dismissed everyone just to cover him and escape, this kid actually didn't care! It's really infuriating!
Zhou Jinfeng was furious and yelled at the housekeeper Zhao Linfu: "What is it true?
Zhao Linfu hurriedly said: "The little master said that he has something important, and no one is allowed to disturb him." ”
Zhou Jinfeng said angrily: "Don't disturb! Because his dart game is closed, he can't be disturbed? His life will be lost tomorrow, so he can't be disturbed! I want to see what important things he has that are more important than the dart game, more important than his small life!"
Zhou Jinfeng angrily led a group of people to the gate of Yuan Xiaoguan's courtyard, and before he had time to knock on the door, he only heard a break in the courtyard, followed by a flash of red light, and at the same time there was a loud "boom", and the ten-year-old soaphorn tree in the middle of the yard shook violently, and the leaves scattered and fell, and in the "crunch" sound, the trunk slowly fell, and finally smashed on the courtyard wall, stirring up a large piece of dust.
"How...... What's going on?" Zhou Jinfeng muttered.
Zhu Xiaonian and Liu Fuju both rushed to knock on the door, shouting while knocking: "It's not true, it's not true!"
After a while, the door opened, and Yuan Xiaoguan stood behind the door with an embarrassed face and scratched his head: "This, I'm sorry, the strength is miscalculated, the misestimation is wrong......!"
The next day was rainy and rainy, the sun did not show from the morning, and the cold wind blew all morning.
Although the weather is gloomy and cold, Chengdu is in full swing. The largest gambling house on East Street, "Qianjin Building", opened a handicap, and the duel in the West Grain Farm of the Las Vegas City was won or lost. Since this matter has been spread, there are many people in front of the Qianjin Building, and there are many people involved. However, the wind direction of the handicap has been reversed from the beginning, and the odds of betting on Hu Gui to win have dropped from 1 to 2 to 1 to 1.8 and 1 to 1.6 at the beginning to 1 to 1.2 now, and the odds of betting on non-real wins have risen from 1 to 5 at the beginning to 1 to 20 now.
The bookkeeper of the gambling house walked up to the boss and said, "Boss Li, the wind direction is too biased, we will pay if we continue like this." ”
The casino owner's surname is Li Mingchou, 40 years old, a self-made capable man, and said with a smile: "It's okay, someone just made a heavy bet to buy an unpopular, with this money, we will make a profit without losing money." ”
"How much?"
Boss Li stretched out his palm: "Five thousand taels!"
The rain that began to fall in the morning was not until noon, and the rain fluttered like light smoke, and the whole city of Chengdu was still shrouded in water vapor.
Even so, there were still a lot of people outside the sunning field in the west of the city, because the "money leopard" Hu Gui wanted to fight a duel with the disciples of the Blood Knife Sect. In just one day and one night, the news of this duel spread all over the streets. The people from the Golden Bull Martial Arts Hall came, the people from the Wuwei Dart Bureau came, the people from the Qianjinlou Gambling House came, the children of the rich families came, the peddlers and pawns came, and the Shengdou Xiaomin also came. It seems that the entire Chengdu Mansion has people who have leisure to come, and there is a commotion all around.
The duel hadn't started yet, but Hu Gui had come to the arena early. There are many people in the Yizhou Chamber of Commerce, and hundreds of people have surrounded the field in the north. Hu Gui sat on the Taishi chair in the middle of the field and pretended to sleep, allowing the two disciples to pinch his shoulders and beat his legs, his eyes opening a line from time to time, staring in the direction of the south entrance.
At noon, a small figure appeared in the rain. (To be continued.) )
