Chapter 18 [Preparation]
Whose is the gambling house in Qinghe Town?
Three major families in Laoting County!
The Zhao family, the Qian family, and the Sun family each control the mountains, water, and land in the county.
Everything on the mountain belongs to Mr. Zhao. Herbs and furs are best-selling commodities. Their drug stores and medical clinics are open all over Laoting County, making money every day.
After all, no one will get sick if they eat whole grains. Some animal skins are in high demand. The prices of tiger skins, bear skins, and fox skins have been rising year after year, but demand still exceeds supply.
Master Qian is in charge of the docks, fish stalls, and shipyards. As long as it is fished out of the water, everyone already assumes that it belongs to the Qian family. Of course, the so-called everyone refers to the other two major families, not the mud-legged and untouchables.
It seems that the Qian family is suffering?
No, no, no, because Zhao Jiahe and the Sun family gave the caravan rights in Laoting County to the Qian family to make up for it. A large amount of furs, herbs, grain, and fish were shipped from the dock, making the Qian family a lot of money.
The last Sun family controls a large area of land in the county. In the surrounding towns and villages, any inhabited gathering place must have Mr. Sun's land.
Their family's grain shops were open all over Leting County. The Sun family's eldest son could starve the untouchables to death anytime and anywhere with just one word.
As for some other businesses that cannot be mentioned, such as gambling houses, the three companies have already divided them up.
If I remember correctly, the gambling house in Qinghe Town belongs to Master Qian.
A local ruffian named Liu dares to steal food from the local bully in the county. How many leopard guts will he swallow alive?
"What I said is true!" Mazi saw the disbelief in his scarlet eyes and couldn't help but raise his voice a bit. Then, he lowered his voice again. "I'm telling you the truth, but don't let anyone know that I said it."
He paused, as if arranging his words in his mind.
"Lao Liu is just a little bastard, how can he dare to steal the business of the gambling house? It was all the idea of Jiang Yu, the big manager of the gambling house. He is the master behind the gambling stall, and the brothers surnamed Liu are just introduced by others. The puppet in front of the stage
What if Qian Lao is killed? I noticed that Manager Jiang waved his hand and immediately silenced him. The brothers named Liu also knew that they would definitely take the blame for the incident, but who asked for money? "
When it comes to money, Mazi seems to be in trouble. Freed from the pain of shattered shoulder bones, his eyes glowed with greed.
“Do you know how much that small gambling stall can collect every day? In one day, it can range from dozens of people and seventy to eighty taels. It can range from hundreds of people and hundreds of taels of silver.
Every five days, Jiang Guanshi distributes money, and each time he distributes 20% of the profit within five days. The Liu brothers get 10%, and we, the younger brothers, get 10%.
Three days ago, I received a full two taels of silver. Sometimes, it’s more than two taels. I remember the most I ever sent was more than five taels. ”
Don’t talk about five taels, even two taels is still a lot of money.
Ordinary people earn thirty-five taels a year, which is enough to support a family of five.
Once in five days, six times in thirty days, whichever is lower
Look at the place, twelve taels of silver a month.
And, this is the least, if you catch up with more, it won’t stop!
No wonder the two Liu brothers are willing to be the puppets taking the blame.
No way, Manager Jiang gave me too much money.
“Our twenty-five brothers all have two taels of silver. Boss Liu and his younger brother have at least three hundred taels of silver in one month.”
three hundred! !
Even when there were ten acres of paddy fields in the past, it was still an astronomical sum.
"You just said that you received a reward three days ago?"
"Yes."
Mazi smiled, he said it deliberately, for exactly the same reason Lure the attacker to the gambling stall.
It would be best if the other party could let him go.
But don’t let it go?
Haha, people die for money and birds die for food.
He does not believe that those who come are not greedy for money.
When the time comes, the brothers in the gambling house will naturally avenge themselves.
"How many people are there exactly? Do they have weapons in their hands? What weapons are they? Are there any masters among them?"
Next, Mazi answered one by one.
Excluding himself, there are twenty-six people left.
Twenty-four younger brothers, the brother surnamed Liu is the eldest brother.
Weapons?
Manager Jiang got a few steel knives to show off, and most people would do the same thing, just relying on eating well and being strong to bully others.
Master?
Of course they are the Liu brothers.
The two of them once studied in the martial arts gym in the town for three months, but after three months they were kicked out because they did not master the boxing techniques taught by the martial arts gym. However, with his unskilled boxing skills, he was still able to defeat the villains in the town. Otherwise, why should I be the leader? It’s not just relying on my fists to speak.
"Pockmarked."
"Hey!"
The ruffian hurriedly spoke up, not to mention how flattering the expression on his face was.
"If you make up your mind, I can go and be the internal correspondent, and then we will respond in the evening"
"Click!"
He Sheng pinched his Adam's apple with his right hand and crushed it with a little force.
"Keke"
Looking at the other person's face becoming more and more distorted due to difficulty in breathing, he held his head with both hands.
“Remember what we said before we entered the alley?”
“I’ll twist your head off!”
After the words fell, he twisted his hands hard.
“Ka——”
The arrogant Mazi died in an unknown alley in the morning.
“It’s my fault, it’s your bad luck.”
He searched all afternoon, but only met Mazi himself, not Boss Liu and others. Otherwise, as for following him all the way until dark, and then taking action only when he is alone.
Leave the alley and go straight to the deserted house in the east of the town.
The big house with three entrances was once very famous, and everyone in Qinghe Town knew about it.
It is said that it was once built by a man named Huang.
I don’t know why, but all the family members died overnight. It is said that the scene was extremely tragic.
From then on, there were occasional rumors of hauntings.
true and false?
Not important!
Anyway, adults and children don’t even dare to pass by.
Boss Liu and the others were really bold to build a gambling stall in an abandoned house. Gamblers don't care, as long as they can gamble money, what kind of haunted house or haunted house would they not dare to go to?
Far away, He Sheng saw two people squatting in front of the door of the deserted house under the moonlight.
Now the end of Youshi is very early from the end of Zishi.
Stop, hide, and observe secretly.
Four hours passed in a flash.
During this period, people came in and out of the house from time to time.
A little estimate shows that there are at least hundreds of people coming in and out.
Of course, because of the darkness, he couldn't tell whether the people entering and leaving were the same person.
‘Tsk, tsk, if this happens every day, it is not an exaggeration to say that I will make a fortune every day. ’
In the distance, there was the sound of dense footsteps. Under the moonlight, I could barely see clearly that the person coming was none other than Boss Liu. Behind the other party were seven or eight tall and strong men.
"How is business today?"
"Brother, it's as good as before. Tomorrow, the brothers will at least get this amount!" One of the gatekeepers at the gate of the courtyard smiled. He extended his palm and gestured.
"That's good, guard the door. Brother Liu will reward you two alone when the time comes."
After saying this, he led the people into the courtyard.
"Thank you, brother!"
When the two gatekeepers heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up and they thanked loudly.
‘It’s time to take action. ’
Seeing his enemy appear, He Sheng immediately walked towards the house.
Asking for recommendation votes, monthly votes, and follow-up reading.
