Chapter 355 Knocking on the Mountain
"What's all the fuss about?" Jiao Niang had just left a Pai Gow table. The croupier who was working tonight took over her job when she heard an abnormal cheer coming from underground: "I don't remember any powerful characters tonight."
The young monk who was in charge of surveillance just came back, smiled bitterly, and whispered something in front of her.
Jiao Niang spat out all the tea in her mouth: "Is he crazy?"
The young monk looked embarrassed. He hadn't seen Sister Jiao lose her composure like this in a long time.
"This, this person, I'm afraid his brain is not very good."
"Let's go and take a look!"
The manager of the black boxing gang wanted to stop this madman from making trouble, but he couldn't resist the audience's desire to do so. However, since the other party had taken the initiative to ask for a life and death agreement, he couldn't be blamed. Even if his family came to cause trouble, the Cao Gang would have something to say.
However, he still wanted to give it one last effort. Although making money was important these days, making money steadily was more important. This guy would not listen to him and engage in fake fighting.
"Sir, please don't be impulsive. Think about it again."
"Think about it for nothing. Chongtianhou has already called me a coward and offered me a hundred taels. If I don't go up, I'd be a coward!"
Well, you can't blame me if you're looking for death, the manager handed over the death warrant, but still whispered to Chong Tianhu, "Just hit him a few times to vent your anger, but don't really beat him to death."
Zhao Yushu quickly signed Bai Jintang's name on the so-called life and death agreement, then inserted the cold iron sword directly into the ring and hooked his finger at the lean and capable Chong Tianhu: "Come on, Monkey, do another dance for me to see."
Chongtianhu roared, took a running start and suddenly jumped up. The spectators who were familiar with him knew that in the next moment he would kick the out-of-town guest who overestimated his own abilities with his signature powerful kick. If he was lucky, he would be kicked off the ring and lose. If he was unlucky, he would be seriously injured and have broken bones.
However, Zhao Yushu roared, and actually took a running start and jumped up, but he was a little lower than Chongtianhu.
Then in mid-air, Zhao Yushu opened his arms and hugged Chongtianhu's thighs.
The two men fell down with a thud, hitting the spectators so hard that their backs went numb. How painful that must have been.
Chongtianhu never thought that he would be pulled down in such a shameless way. He fell and his eyes went dark. When he opened his eyes, he found that the ugly guy with a foul mouth was riding on him and punching him hard in the face with left and right punches without any fancy moves.
"You don't know, these days, what I hate most is monkeys! I'll let you jump! I'll let you jump!"
The group of spectators were both confused and satisfied. A good black fist was turned into a turtle fist. He punched left and right with amazing momentum, but in fact Zhao Yushu's strength was not very strong. His purpose was to lure out the leader of the Dog Hall and further investigate the news of the Cao Gang. Chong Tianhu had no grudge against him, so he just did it for his own sake.
However, his punches were very skillful and although they did not cause much damage, they always made Chong Tianhu dizzy and he could not concentrate at all, so he could only take the beatings. He learned this from Boss Gu's sister-in-law.
"Hey, hey, hey, sir, calm down, you win, you win."
Zhao Yushu was carried away by two strong men. He came here to have fun and leave after playing. Chong Tianhu is a serious boxer. It would be a big loss if he really killed Gou Tang.
"I won?"
"You win!" The fat steward rubbed his hands and complimented with a smile.
"He's not dead yet."
"Please be so kind as not to argue with such a rude person."
"Why?"
The fat steward's flesh trembled, knowing that the other party was asking for benefits.
"In addition to the one hundred taels Chongtianhu gave you, we will give you another one hundred taels."
"two hundred?"
"two hundred!"
Zhao Yushu brushed off the dust on his clothes and shouted to the crowd, "I'm going to let him off this once today. Let's have fun!"
Zhao Yushu squeezed out of the underground boxing gym. He believed that no matter where he went, there would be people watching him. As long as he caused a little trouble, the person in charge of the dog hall would have only two choices: either ask him to leave or play with him.
Would someone who can manage a place as big as the dog hall be so cowardly as to just ask himself to leave?
Zhao Yushu smiled coldly, took the heavy silver ingot of 200 taels given by the fat steward, and hugged the fat man: "Master Bai, I am lucky today, and my hands are warm. Tell me, Master Bai, what else is there to do?"
"If Mr. Bai wants to play, he will naturally look for me. Why is he squeezing together with these rough guys?" The pretty girl came over with a pipe in her hand, swaying with every step. Perhaps she was disgusted by the strong smell downstairs, so she leaned against the railing and slowly exhaled a puff of smoke.
Only then did Zhao Yushu realize that the female dealer he happened to meet was actually the big shot in the dog hall, but he didn't know if there was anyone behind her.
"The games outside are too small. I just earned two hundred taels. If I lose ten copper coins at a time, I'm afraid I won't be satisfied even if I play all night."
Jiao Niang laughed: "Master Bai wants to make trouble, are you afraid there is no place to go? Come on."
Every word Jiao Niang said was ambiguous, but to Zhao Yushu, it sounded like murderous intent. You are a foreigner, carrying a huge amount of money, coming to someone else's territory, and playing with the most unsafe things. Do you want to leave without taking advantage of you?
Coincidentally, everyone had the same idea.
Zhao Yushu, waving a folding fan, followed Jiao Niang out of the underground boxing gym, but did not go back to the casino. Instead, he walked along the porch and came to a quiet and elegant courtyard.
"Oh, this lady must have misunderstood. I, Master Bai, am not one for being polite."
"I understand. You like rough things, but there are different levels of roughness. Mixing with those sweaty rough guys is just the lowest level."
Zhao Yushu became interested: "This is crude, is there any high-quality one?"
Jiao Niang turned around and smiled: "Of course there are, but we are a small place like Goutang, how can we dare to play the top-notch ones? Those are the ways for the rich and powerful to play. Here, we can only play the middle-class ones."
The funny image of Mr. Luo drinking medium, large or extra-large cups suddenly appeared in Zhao Yushu’s mind.
"Where does Mr. Bai come from?"
"Xijing."
"Xijing is a great place, very different from our remote and poor countryside. I wonder what kind of fun there is in Xijing?"
Zhao Yushu immediately realized that this was an attempt to test his bottom line.
"What do you call a girl?"
"Mr. Bai is happy, just call me Jiao Niang."
"Girl, please turn back."
Jiao Niang stopped and turned around, looking at Zhao Yushu pointing at the scars on her face.
"In Xijing, if I lose the game, I'll just kill you."
The girl's hand holding the pipe suddenly tightened, and looking at the man in front of her with a ferocious smile, a slight nervousness arose, but was immediately suppressed by an even stronger ruthlessness.
This is Xiangzhou, this is Goutang, and behind this is the Han River. You are from Xijing, and as long as your surname is not Li, no matter how powerful you are, you can't turn the tables.
Besides, you are just a mortal.
"Oh, then I have to show Mr. Bai how to play in our countryside. Here we are."
Jiao Niang pushed open a door beside her and looked at Zhao Yushu's wonderful expression, feeling secretly proud.
