lying down

Wu Chi smiled and cupped his hands, stepped back, and the moment he closed the door of the brothel private room, a look of coldness and greed flashed across his eyes.

He took a deep breath, turned around and knocked once long and twice shortly on the door of the opposite room.Hearing a muffled "hmm" from inside, he stepped inside.

"Wu Chi pays homage to the Second Leader!" Wu Chi bowed solemnly and bowed to the ground.In front of him was a person wearing a bamboo hat, sitting on a low table, with one hand resting on the table, and the other holding a cup of hot tea to drink slowly.Its exact appearance is not visible, because the man has pressed the wide bamboo hat extremely low, only revealing a thin lip and a pointed chin. There is a faint scar on the lower jaw extending up the face. It is unknown what kind of scar it is. Injured by a sharp weapon.

"Get up, I just came back these two days, I haven't seen you for a long time, so I don't need to be so big." After taking a few sips of hot tea, the man raised his head slightly and saw that Wu Chi still looked humble, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Wu Chi got up and stood aside, waiting for orders.Because of the successful resolution of the "servant case", he has attracted the attention of the upper echelons of the gang, and his status has risen to this day.But whenever I see this second gang leader who appears and disappears like a ghost, I always have an inexplicable fear.

"That's right. If you can maintain your current mentality, you will be able to improve to a higher level in the future. I have nothing to do today. I heard from the gang that the 'Baihuafang' business you manage is good. I came to see it. It's not bad, it's not bad... ...."

"Thank you for the compliment from the second gang leader, I am willing to die for the gang!" Wu Chi heard that the second gang leader, who has always been quiet, praised himself, and said that he could "reach a higher level" and go up to a higher level what is itThat's the positions of several chief and deputy gang leaders!It seems that there is only one rank up and down, but the fight between light and dark is laborious and laborious, and may even cost one's life.More importantly, to be praised by this always silent but extremely authoritative gang leader now means that he has fallen into his favor, and it may be much easier to fight for the position in the future.He was ecstatic in his heart, but he didn't dare to move his face. He clasped his thumb firmly on his palm and used the tingling pain to suppress the unexpected joy.

The second gang leader nodded, and continued: "Tell the subordinates to restrain their teeth. Recently, there have been many transfers in the Bingzhou camp. I am afraid that there is something wrong with the court. Don't let the same thing happen as last time."

Wu Chi was in a cold sweat when he heard that, when the two gang leaders warned him, they even used his "servant case" as an example, was it a spur?Or hint?

This praise and criticism muddied Wu Chi's originally excited state of mind, and he felt that his heart was in a state of ups and downs, as if he had nowhere to go.

"Second gang leader, don't worry, I will definitely take care of it so that it doesn't get out of the basket."

The second gang leader didn't nod, and tapped his right hand lightly on the table, the sound of "Du Tu" was like a reminder, making Wu Chi even more panicked.

"By the way, I heard from the old bustard that you brought someone to the opposite side, and also called in the two most outstanding women in the brothel. Who are they? How could you treat me like this?" Chi couldn't figure it out.

He thought for a while, decided to tell the truth, and cupped his hands and said, "This man's full name is Li Zhengyu, but..."

"Dang!" a loud sound interrupted his words, he saw in astonishment that the second gang leader had punched the low table in front of him fiercely, knocking over the tea and spilling it all over the table.

"This bastard..." The second gang leader spat out the third son and said nothing more, took a few deep breaths to calm down slightly, waved his hand and said: "It's nothing, I just remembered something, you continue!"

Wu Chi swallowed, and said tremblingly: "This man is the chief steward of the Di Mansion, and his brother-in-law, Ouyang Yu, is currently rebuilding the original 'Guiyun Restaurant' in the city, and that boy Ouyang is also there now. Bingzhou Daying is Captain Zhenwei. I heard that it is very popular and is very popular with the governor. The last incident was settled by Li Zhengyu and Li Erlang under the banner of Ouyang. Today I happened to meet on the street. Inviting him to a cup is considered a thank you, if it is still useful in the future, I don’t know for sure. Secondly, I just heard that his brother-in-law brewed a new wine, which is the best in the wine. I think... I want to see some There is no way to get rid of him, and if you steal the wine recipe quietly, you will definitely make a lot of money. Oh, yes, the wine is here.” After speaking, he hurriedly took out the wine bag that Li Erlang threw on the desk just now from his bosom and handed it to him with both hands. past.

He couldn't see the face of the second master, and he didn't know why the second master was furious when he heard Li Zhengyu's name.It's just that from the gaffe of the second head just now, it can be seen that the two must have entanglements.

The second master slowly reached out to take the wine bag, first he kneaded the wine bag vigorously, as if he had a grudge against the wine.Then let go of the palm, opened the wine bag, took the teacup that fell on the desk, poured out the rest, and poured the wine into it.

Wu Chi heard that Li Erlang said that the wine was strong wine, and planned to persuade him a few words, but when he spoke, he remembered the anger of the second master just now, so he endured it and went back without reminding him.

Erdang shook the wine glass lightly, sniffed it a little, and nodded unconsciously.He was not as "violent" as Li Erlang, he raised the corner of his cup and took a sip, the hand holding the cup trembled unconsciously.

"Okay...wine!" He tore out two words in his voice, and immediately raised his head and drank it all in one gulp. Regardless of the hot taste, he got up and walked to the door of the private room.When he was about to leave the house, a sentence was thrown over lightly: "The wine party must be taken, and I will remember your great contribution!"

Wu Chi was in a daze when he saw it, and he was even more dazed when he heard it. When there was no one at the door, he realized that he hadn't given the farewell ceremony, and hurriedly bent down to bow again, thinking that the second master must go far away, why bother himself? Guilty?

He grinned, straightened his crooked chest and back just now, coughed a few times and muttered: "Wine must be won? Remember my great work? Hehe, brother Zhengyu, don't blame me..."

This is the face of most people in the underworld. Benefits are above all else. Turning faces is a bit faster than turning books. Today, if you are kind to him, maybe this kindness is the source of disasters.

When he walked out of this room and came to the private room with Erlang on the opposite side, he had returned to the appearance of the handsome young man in the past, looked at Li Erlang who was slapping on the second daughter over there, smiled and bowed and said: "Brother Zhengyu has been delayed. Good times, mine's not, mine's not!"

Li Erlang's tongue is already big at this time, how could he know that the thank you wine has turned into a scheme for wine in less than a stick of incense outside?He enjoyed the Wu Chi's flattery today, waved his hands casually and said: "It's okay, it's okay!"

Wu Chi's eyeballs rolled around, and he came to Erlang's side and said, "Brother Zheng Yu, don't worry, these two girls are yours from now until noon tomorrow, and some time is sweet. Do you know that there is still one more time in this 'Bai Hua Fang'?" Even better, it would be a great pity if you come and don't go!"

When Erlang heard that the second women's football team belonged to him for about ten hours, he was so happy that he even forgot his last name.When I heard that there is a better place here, I felt itchy in my heart: "Where is it? Will it cost?"

Wu Chi laughed secretly that this bird's nature is hard to change. At this time, he still knows to ask "it will cost", but since he wants to attack him, he must pay something.He took a step up and pulled Erlang's sleeve and said, "Let's go, it will be boring once you know it, I will pay the money, and I will let Brother Engong Yu have a good time today!"

The two looked at each other and laughed, Erlang looked back at the second daughter reluctantly, but the two daughters said in unison: "Master, I am waiting for you." His legs and feet were so weak when he shouted, he was half pulled and half supported by Wu Chi and walked out .

In the front is still the welcoming woman who came out to lead the way. The two chatted happily and didn't think the road was long.Erlang only remembered going down to the second floor, walking through the hall of the brothel, stepping on the zigzagging corridor, and coming to a two-story wooden building in three detours.

The two of them hadn't entered yet, and the building was already hot, with bursts of shouting, excitement, and crying mixed in through the windows.

Wu Chi didn't wait for it, so he dragged Erlang to the door.Erlang only felt a wave of heat coming, although he drank a lot of wine, he was already half drunk.But the various mixed smells in the heat wave woke him up a little bit, and when he looked up, it was quite a big casino!

The lobby on the first floor alone was packed with no less than 200 people, and the second floor was also very lively. Although it was empty, there were at least a hundred people gathering around the dealer to gamble.There are all kinds of gambling methods here, some Erlang has heard of, has not heard of, has seen, has not seen, and there is even a banker at the corner who is a slave of Kunlun, holding something he has never seen before. fresh style.There were everything on the table, including gold and silver ingots, copper coins and jade objects, and even a few pieces of paper in the shape of a contract.Most of the people stared at the game with red eyes as if they were crazy.

Li Erlang took a few glances at this place, and thought to himself that this place is really a paradise for gamblers, but he happens to be very cash-strapped, so he will be knocked down after playing here a few times.Although Wu Chi next to him wanted to pay for himself, he felt an inexplicable sense of uneasiness when he always used his money.

"Brother Zhengyu, what are you still hesitating about? Choose a way to play, let's have fun today!" Wu Chi looked at the hesitation on Erlang's face, and understood that Erlang would not refuse to dislike gambling, so the rest will be easy many.

Li Erlang forced a few laughs, "This, this..." couldn't say a complete sentence.

"Hey, Brother Zheng Yu, is it because I'm afraid that what I just said doesn't count? Come on, you take this, let it go and play, it's not enough for me!" Wu Chi took out a brocade bag from his bosom, and stuffed it in his hand. In Erlang's arms.

Erlang couldn't push it, he held it in his hands without any trace, he was secretly surprised, if this bag of silver was more than a hundred taels!

"Since brother has orders, how dare I disobey them?" Although he was a little sober at this time, he was still generally in a daze under the influence of alcohol.He squeezed the two of them away with the silver bag in his hand, and came to the table where the bet was made.

In his eyes, this kind of betting is the simplest one, but it is the most dramatic one. As long as you bet enough money, you may be able to make a huge profit.Of course, if you fail to win the bet, it is common to become a homeless person or a pauper that day!

"Three liang, press down!" Erlang yelled, he found scattered three liang of silver from the bag and threw it on the small bag, and shouted together with the crowd, his eyes were fixed on the sea bowl under the hands of the dealer. The two dice kept rolling in the bowl, beeping and clattering against the bowl wall.The sound of heavy breathing gradually came from his ears, slow and hasty.

At this time, Erlang was half drunk and half awake, but his spirit was extremely excited.

"Stop! The big and small will come out, please leave your hands—" The banker sang loudly, and slowly opened the bowl with a smile. One of the two dice is two points and the other is three points. The sum of five points is obviously " Small"!

"Why is it small again! There are three small ones in a row!"

"That's right, I've put all my eggs in one basket. Why is it so small? It's too wicked!"

"I got it! I got it!" Amidst a crowd of doubts and abuse, only Li Erlang danced and shouted "I got it", which attracted many people's eyes and jealousy.

He bet on "Small" in twos and threes, betting on the doubling area, and now he made six taels.

Wu Chi patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother Zheng Yu is really lucky! People are very busy!"

Li Erlang smiled, turned around and continued to invest in the big business of gambling, and won two more games in a row, and the eyes of the people around him turned from sympathy to doubt, and then to eagerness.

He licked his somewhat agitated dry lips, held the 12 taels of silver in front of him, and thought about whether to bet small or large. The people next to him were all staring at his hands with bated breath, and he moved towards the "big". He also moved to "big", he turned to "little", and everyone followed to "little", all wanting to get his luck.

He was immersed in this feeling of "I am the only one", and finally decided to bet another small bet. Just as he was about to stop, he took out all the silver in the bag that Wu Chi had given him, and kept a few taels and put it all in.

The corner of the banker's mouth was slightly raised, and he cast a sidelong glance at everyone, his eyes met with Wu Chi's for a short while and then separated.

The dice continued to roll, and the crowd continued to shout, the sound of "jingling" sounded like a fairy music for getting rich in Erlang's ears, never been so beautiful.

"The big and small will come out, everyone leave your hands—!"
