Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Great Deal
"Uncle, are we short of money now?" Before the road goat opened his mouth, Tang Cheng picked up Xie Lan's words, and Xie Lan, who seemed to not mind the response but was almost angry, gritted his teeth. Nine times out of ten, they didn't come to the casino with guns like them, and Liu Goat was the person Li Linge was worried about, so Xie Lan unconsciously regarded Liu Goat as if he had come to the casino to fight the autumn wind.
"Boss, my nephew has talked a little too much, don't be angry, the child who grew up in the barracks has never seen the world." Liu Goat pretended to be annoyed and glared at Tang Cheng, but in Xie Lan's opinion, this nasty kid didn't seem to have the consciousness of saying the wrong thing, but was a little leisurely. "But what my nephew said is right, although we soldiers don't have a few dollars in our pockets, we don't lack your three melons and two dates." Liu Goat changed his words and pushed the ocean in front of him to Xie Lan's hand.
Xie Lan didn't know what Liu Goat meant, judging from his experience in dealing with those gamblers, Xie Lan thought that Liu Goat was thinking that he was giving less money. Tapping his palm twice, the casino bookkeeper who had been prepared for a long time brought another plate, which was still 200 yuan. "Chief Liu, you have a gun, my brothers also have guns in their hands, this Hongyun has sixty percent of President Li of the Chamber of Commerce, you are only a few dozen people, President Li only needs to wave his arms, and hundreds of people will immediately go to the barracks to find you trouble, here is 400 yuan, it should be the wine money given by the small shop to Chief Liu and your brothers."
Xie Lan also didn't want to be an enemy of people like Liu Goat, and from the moment he started to sit down and speak, he had been dealing with the relationship between the casino and the gamblers. Giving 400 oceans for nothing, Xie Lan is also angry, although the money has been taken out, but Xie Lan's subsequent words also have anger and strong hints, as long as Liu Goat is not a fool, he can hear the meaning of her words. Liu Goat still didn't answer Xie Lan's words, but just reached out and grabbed the ocean on the plate and played, and the whole casino only listened to the sound of the ocean paddling on the plate.
"Boss, I think you may have misunderstood us, in fact, we didn't come here today, but we have a big deal to talk to you about Hongyun Casino." After a long period of silence, Liu Goat spoke. Xie Lan was naturally shocked by Liu Goat's words, she really couldn't think of any big deal between Hongyun Casino and a group of Qiu Ba, couldn't it be that these Qiu Ba thought that she still gave less, so she wanted to borrow other names to get money from the casino?
"Boss, don't look at me like that, I'm cowardly, you look at me like this, I can't say the rest of the words." This time, not only Xie Lan was stunned, but even Tang Cheng, who was a bystander, couldn't stand it a little. If other people were thin-skinned, Tang Cheng might still believe it, but when he heard Liu Goat actually say that he was thin-skinned, Tang Cheng felt as if he had heard that all the Japanese soldiers had withdrawn from China.
When Liu Goat obviously didn't want to pay attention to Tang Cheng, all his thoughts were on Xie Lan's body, "Boss lady, there is really a big deal to join forces with your Hongyun Casino, if you have a private room, can we change places." Liu Goat looked around at the thugs standing around him, and heard Xie Lan with his eyes. Liu Goat's words didn't mean anything else, but they still made Xie Lan angry enough, Grandma is a casino here, do you think she is here for dinner, and you want a private room?
"Okay, since you don't want to, then let's talk about it here." Seeing that Xie Lan didn't react, Liu Goat had no choice but to yeak at Tang Cheng, who reluctantly took out a cloth bag from his coat pocket and threw it on the table. Looking at the cloth bag with some weight was grabbed by Liu Goat, and then slowly opened it in front of Xie Lan, the cloth bag contained some gold and silver jewelry, just looking at the style of these gold and silver jewelry, Xie Lan could already see that these were all objects belonging to different people.
"Chief Liu, what do you mean by this? I'm not a pawnshop here, but the casino is not a pawnshop, if you want to pawn something, go to the pawnshop, if you don't have enough money to use, the 400 yuan of ocean here in my little sister, you can take it away at any time. The moment the cloth bag was opened by Liu Goat, the diagonal straddle was indeed a little distracted, and a ruby ring in those gold and silver jewelry was indeed a rarity. Xie Lan is also a woman, so naturally she has no resistance to the exquisite ruby ring, but she thought that this was some trick played by Liu Goat, so she was a little reluctant to refuse.
Hearing Xie Lan's answer, Liu Goat reached out and scratched his head helplessly, "Let's be honest with you, these things are the trophies we snatched from the devil soldiers when we withdrew from Nanjing City, and I still have a lot of such things." I also want to go to the pawnshop you just mentioned, but you don't have a pawnshop in Mengcheng, and besides, this deal is indeed related to your Fortune Casino, so I really have to come to you to talk about it. ”
Learning from Liu Goat's action of playing with the ocean just now, Xie Lan, who was leaning against the gambling table, put on a coquettish posture, stretched out his hand to play with the ruby ring, and then turned his head to look at Liu Goat, "Sir Liu, I'm just a weak woman just to have food and clothing, and these brothers in the casino have to eat to support their families." The world is not very good now, you have to give these things to our casino, even if my brothers can drink the northwest wind to live, but their families can't starve. "The proprietress is joking, who doesn't know that the Ludao Hongyun Casino is one of the best money-making transactions in the territory of Mengcheng, and you can still give this money to your brothers to support their families?" Liu Goat looked at Xie Lan with disgust, from Xie Lan's action of playing with the ruby ring, Liu Goat had already seen that this woman was in love with this ring, but these things were all brought back by him and Tang Cheng, and it was impossible to give this woman for nothing.
"What the hell do you want? If you are given money, you don't want to talk about these things of unknown origin, but what the hell is going on, put the word out. After a few sticky back-and-forths, Xie Lan lost his patience, so he simply made his words clear, if Liu Goat still spoke like this, Xie Lan would immediately let the thugs in the casino drive Liu Goat out of the casino. As soon as Xie Lan's attitude changed, the casino thugs who were standing beside Liu Goat immediately changed their faces, and they were already pulling open the hem of their jackets and ready to pull out their guns.
"Don't move, my fingers are shaking casually, no one here can run, if you don't believe me, then let's try." Zhang Yun, who had been standing next to him without making a sound, stood up with a loud roar, revealing a row of grenades from the cotton clothes that he vigorously tore. The back cover of one of the grenades had been unscrewed, and the string of the grenade was hanging on the little finger of Zhang Yun's right hand, just like he had just shouted, as long as his fingers trembled, the grenade tied to his body would be detonated.
"This thing is called a grenade, once it explodes in such a house, it is about as powerful as a mortar shell of the Japanese army, and we often use them to blow up Japanese tanks and armored vehicles when we are fighting with the Japanese army." Receiving Liu Goat's look, Tang Cheng volunteered to act as a docent for Xie Lan, "There are a total of 6 grenades here, after the fire ring is pulled off, you only have a few seconds to escape from here or find something to cover you, and then there will be no more living people in this room, if you really want to use a gun to speak, then think about it and then show your gun." ”
Xie Lan's whole person was stunned, not only for Tang Cheng's careful explanation just now, but more shocking came from Tang Cheng's calmness and calmness when he explained, as if the grenade in Tang Cheng's mouth was just a fun toy. "Crazy, that's a madman." Xie Lan, who no longer dared to face Tang Cheng head-on, defined Tang Cheng in his heart, such a small-looking, child-like guy actually said such a dangerous thing so calmly, as if he was talking about something completely irrelevant.
After the appearance of the grenade and Tang Cheng's explanation, the casino thugs under Xie Lan stood still and did not dare to move any more, let alone draw their guns. "Boss, since we dare to come, we must be ready, there are more than 20 of our brothers outside the casino, as long as the gun goes off here, none of these people in your Hongyun Casino will survive, I'm not lying to you." If Tang Cheng's Lejin and indifference just now gave Xie Lan a great shock, then Liu Goat's words now have already made Xie Lan feel like a pins and needles.
"I have a lot of things like this, and I'm not going to take a dime from you, the boss." Liu Goat stretched out his hand and slowly pushed the cloth bag on the table in front of Xie Lan, "We really have a big deal we want to do with you, and you will not lose money on this deal." Xie Lan, who was in shock, had not come back to his senses, stared at the cloth bag on the table for a long time, and his eyes, which had been dull, were a little lively.
"What do you want without money? I'm President Li's woman, aren't you afraid that Li Linge will skin you and hang it at the city gate to dry and make a big drum? Xie Lan mistakenly thought that the purpose of Liu Goat's trip was for herself, this beautiful woman was in Shanghai all the year round in the upper class parties, Xie Lan, who thought she could grasp the psychology of men, regarded Liu Goat as the kind of person who was obsessed with women.
Liu Goat laughed dryly twice and refuted Xie Lan's words, "Boss, I'm not talking about this matter, besides, Li Linge is not a person with three heads and six arms, as long as a bullet can make him shut up forever." With Tang Cheng's smiling eyes, Liu Goat continued, "I know that a few days ago, some people from the national army secretly arrived at your casino, and I exchanged these things for those weapons and ammunition, and if I can, I also need some medicine." ”
