Chapter 253: Coercion and Temptation
The room is very large, almost as big as Zhang Sanbao's house, there are a lot of furnishings in the house, almost as much as in Zhang Sanbao's house, there is a Taishi chair in the room, but the person sitting on the Taishi chair this time is not Zhang Sanbao, and the person sitting on the Taishi chair now is Lao Xu.
Lao Xu can rely on Zhang Sanbao today, but Lao Xu thinks that there is another point that is also very important, that is, ability, if he doesn't have the ability Zhang Sanbao will never look at him more, so Lao Xu can have today not just rely on Zhang Sanbao.
Lao Xu is reminding himself at any time that he must be the most reliable person for Zhang Sanbao, because only in this way will everything in the house belong to him forever, and nothing can be obtained for nothing, so now Lao Xu is already doing things.
There are also three people in black suits standing in the room, these three people look like they are only young people in their twenties, these three people are Lao Xu's subordinates, when Lao Xu wants to get any news, he will send these three people to collect, it is not easy to want these three young people to be his subordinates, but Lao Xu did it.
When you're willing to spend money, a lot of things get easier.
Now Lao Xu has spoken: "Now your task is to find someone. ”
The three of them were listening, and Lao Xu continued: "This is a young man about the same age as you, he is wearing a blue robe, using a blue sword, and the most important thing is that the sword has no scabbard, his name is Xiong Yu. ”
Suddenly, one of the three of them trembled, Lao Xu immediately noticed it, he stared at the man in black whose body trembled a little and asked, "Pony, what's wrong with you?"
One of the three men in black turned out to be a pony picking up Xiong Yu and Xiaoyaozi in Hebei, how could he be here?
Pony said reluctantly, "It's nothing, it's just that I'm a little unwell." ”
Lao Xu stared at the pony, the pony unconsciously lowered his head, Lao Xu's keen sense of smell had already detected the abnormality, and he had already seen that today's pony was a little different from usual.
Lao Xu suddenly waved his hand and said, "You two go down, the pony stays, I have something to tell you." ”
The other two men in black nodded and retreated, leaving only Xu and Pony in the room.
Lao Xu slowly got up from the Taishi's chair and walked to the pony and said, "You have something to hide from me." ”
Xiao Ma hurriedly said: "No, no matter what happens, I won't hide it from Master Xu." ”
Lao Xu shook his head and said, "Little Pony, how do I treat you?"
Xiao Ma's palms were already sweaty, and he paused and said, "Xu Ye has always taken care of my family, and every month he gives me a few taels more than others. ”
Lao Xu nodded with his hands behind his back and said: "Since you are with me, I will never let you worry about the family, so I have been taking care of your family, and I will give you a few taels of silver every month because you already have a child who is about to be born." ”
Xiaoma bowed his head and said, "I have always been grateful to Xu Ye, so I am willing to do things for Xu Ye all the time." ”
Lao Xu sighed and patted Xiaoma's shoulder and said: "You and I are the same here, we don't belong here, so you and I are the same kind of people, we are both people who work hard for others, so I have always regarded you as my friend." ”
The pony's fists clenched even tighter, and he seemed to have something to say but couldn't.
Lao Xu looked at the pony and continued: "On weekdays, you have a lot of enemies, but none of them can hurt your family, this is because you are doing things for me, so as long as you do something for me, I will never let your family be harmed, of course, your family includes your soon-to-be-born child." ”
The meaning of this sentence is very straightforward and clear, Lao Xu has conveyed a message to the pony, that is, if you do things for me, your family will be safe, if you don't do things for me, then I can't guarantee the life of your family, this is an invisible threat to the pony.
Xiao Ma heard Lao Xu's words and immediately raised his head and said, "Master Xu, don't hurt my family." ”
Lao Xu smiled and patted Xiaoma's shoulder and said, "How could I hurt your family, I know you must have something to hide from me, and now I want to know those things." At this point, Lao Xu's voice suddenly became heavier and continued: "You must have heard of Xiong Yu, otherwise your expression would not be so unnatural." ”
The pony's eyes flickered, he was struggling in his heart, Luo Tianming has always trusted him, and he will give him a lot of silver every month to support his family, he followed Luo Tianming wholeheartedly.
Why does he follow Lao Xu to be Lao Xu's subordinate now? The reason is only known to the pony, the reason is in the casino, the pony likes to gamble a few times when he is idle on weekdays, and the pony only knows the truth of gambling and big gambling hurting his body, but as long as you gamble, it is difficult to get out.
The game of one or two silver is not too big, the pony bet is one or two silver at a time, he was very lucky that night, he only took ten taels of silver but won more than a hundred taels of silver, gambling is addictive, and people are also greedy, so the pony won a hundred taels and then went to gamble.
Sometimes your luck is not up to you, the person who can determine your luck in the casino is the dice player, and in the next few hours the pony lost a full seven thousand taels, which is a desperate number for the pony, and the silver he gets from Luo Tianming every month is only a few hundred, and it is simply impossible to make up seven thousand taels of silver.
Casinos have casino rules, and those who lose money and don't have money have to use things to pay off their debts.
Pony's wife is a virtuous woman, not only virtuous but also beautiful.
If you sell your wife, you will pay a thousand taels first, and you will have to pay back the rest of the silver within a month, otherwise your whole family will not want to live well.
Of course, the pony won't agree, but it's no longer up to him, and the casino thugs have already set off towards the pony's home.
The pony pulled out the sword in his hand, and several thugs died under his sword, but he couldn't stay in Hebei anymore, because the casino owner was ready to kill him, and just when he was about to run away, the casino boss appeared, this time it was not as simple as a few thugs, the casino owner brought a full eighty people.
Death is not terrible, the terrible thing is that when you have care, when you have care, death is a terrible thing, the pony doesn't want to die, but he can't help it, he has already thought about what kind of torture his wife will suffer when he dies.
Pony prepares to draw his sword because he has no other choice, but when his sword is drawn, Lao Xu appears, and when Lao Xu appears, Pony knows that he has a chance to live.
Lao Ma is really a person with great powers, he only used one sentence to let the owner of the casino go, what is that sentence Xiao Ma still doesn't know, he only knows that Lao Xu saved him and saved his home.
Since then, Pony has been working for Lao Xu, because what he owes Lao Ma, not a little bit, three years have passed, Pony could have left Lao Ma, because what he owes should have been paid off, but just when he was about to leave, Lao Ma told him another thing.
"I will take care of your family, I appreciate you, and you will work with me in the future, and the benefits will definitely be indispensable to you. "This sentence was said by Lao Xu, and the meaning of this sentence is also very simple and clear, your family is under my control, so you have to do things for me.
Only then does the pony realize that Xu is not as good as he thought, and the pony even has some disgust with the old horse, but the pony has no other way.
At this moment, Lao Xu was smiling, because he had seen through the pony's mind, he knew that the pony would definitely say what he wanted to hear, and now he only needed to add a little heat, "Pony, I think your child will be very cute, because you are also a lovely person." Speaking of this, Lao Xu took out a silver ticket of five hundred taels from his arms and continued: "Take this and buy some supplements, women need to supplement nutrition the most at this time, otherwise the child is likely to not be born." ”
The pony trembled and slowly looked up at Lao Xu, who smiled again: "Take it, don't you care about your wife and children?"
The pony's face was pale, his face was ugly, and he raised his trembling hands and slowly reached for the five hundred taels of silver.
