C50 I'm Gonna Smack You with a Stick
"Come come come, buy big open, sell small open small ah …" If you, Kid, don't bet, then scram. Don't delay other people's bet … "
"Done …" Four Five Six, Big... "The manor has won …"
In the smoky hall, there were heads all over the place. Under the candlelight, their shiny foreheads shone with a different light. On the brick bed in the corner, four or five smoking men were lying on their sides. A few old prostitutes, who were half-hidden from the public, were busy lighting up their drinks.
This was the most famous casino in Yi County City, the one who saw the scene was nicknamed leopard head, he had the most explosive temper. However, he was standing next to the brick bed with a smile on his face and was very polite to a smoker.
"Aiya, if Eunuch Zheng can come here and play, then it's giving me face. Whatever the benefits or disadvantages, just give them to me. Even if it's not even worth a single cent, don't you think that the small ones would be affected by your noble attitude?" What do you think... "Someone, burn another bubble for this eunuch …"
The one lying on the brick bed was the beaten Wu Tie. After raising the eunuch for three days, he was finally able to go out. The bruises on his face from Xiao Letian's beatings had mostly disappeared, and only the corner of his left eye remained light.
Eunuch Zheng loved to gamble. This was not a secret, in Forbidden City, Eunuch Zheng was Bastard. He lost all his monthly savings within two days. However, there were rules and regulations in the Imperial City. Even if he wanted to play, he couldn't play to his heart's content. This time, he had bribed Chief Steward to get such a good boy out of the palace, how could he not have some fun?
"leopard head, I've lost a lot of money by staying here for the past ten days. Just looking for you to exchange with me for at least two hundred silver taels …" "Fuck, I don't know where you got so much money from, but you guys are even more generous than the Northern Capital City …"
"You want me to go down now? Do you really have to dig out all of this oil in this lord's pocket? "You, Kid, are truly dark …"
leopard head laughed like a flower, and went down one thousand, "Look at what grandpa said, who doesn't know that eunuch is the wealthiest person in Capital City, what do you think about this little bit of loss? "I don't want to rub my eyes with sand, tonight I will see your eyes shine, the God of Fortune will definitely possess them, if I were to play a few more times, you will definitely go on a killing spree …"
Eunuch Zheng couldn't bear leopard head's flattery and slapped his thigh. "Enough!" Once I've finished this bubble, bring me another hundred Ocean, I'll try my luck … "
Since ancient times, bets were not separated from the family, and eunuchs had lost their lifeline, it was impossible for them to fool around with women. Thus, they were exceptionally fond of gambling and poison. In late Qing, eunuchs betting money to smoke big cigarettes was more popular than Official and the common folk. If Eunuch Zheng was too lucky, he would forget about his bad luck.
Indeed, the bullshit in the casino was not worth listening to. It hadn't even been two hours and Eunuch Zheng had already lost his hundred silver taels to it. Eunuch Zheng sighed. He knew that he was out of luck today and no longer listened to leopard head's nonsense. Under Young Eunuch's care, he prepared to return to the inn.
At this time, leopard head wasn't as polite as before, "Oh, Eunuch Zheng, you owe me a total of 300 Silver Yang these days. Although I'm not in a hurry to ask you for the interest, you should pay me back, right?"
"Aiyo!" Little bastard, you want to play with me? You want to return the money you just borrowed? There was no such rule in the casinos of this world? "Just you wait, I'll be free soon …"
"Ai ai ai!" Master Zheng, you are in the wrong. You can refuse to return the one hundred yuan today, but what about the two hundred yuan from a few days ago? "There has to be a way …"
Before leopard head could finish his sentence, there was a crisp sound of a slap. old castration went up and gave a loud slap, causing the entire casino to turn deathly silent. You want money? [I will give it to you. Do you really think that I don't have any money?] Take it to my inn tomorrow... "But let me tell you, if this grandpa gets angry, it won't end well, so Liu Tie let the yamen directly copy your dog nest …"
Eunuch Zheng also looked down on this group of country leopards. Even the three big betting houses of the Beijing did not dare to ask this master for money, which one of them was not well-behaved and polite? Do you really think that you can ride on the heads of the people in the palace in this crappy little place with no knowledge of the world?
Seeing old castration walk away, Wu Tie was so angry that his face turned purple. He gave a look to the door and five figures in the darkness quietly followed.
"I am currently in the city gate tower observing the scenery, listening to the chaos in Outside the city … "I was originally a person who laid low and scattered. I relied on my yin and yang energy to keep the world safe …" With Young Eunuch's support, Eunuch Zheng walked while singing the off-key game of clasp. Along the way, he scared countless wild cats and dogs, making a lot of noise in the middle of the night.
Just as the dim lantern light turned the corner of the street, several dark figures suddenly charged over like tigers. The weak eunuch didn't even have the time to shout when his mouth was covered by a rag and his hands were tightly tied.
Just as old castration was about to say "yup" in shock, two figures walked out of the darkness. When they walked up to Eunuch Zheng, they found that the two were actually Xiao Letian and Hairy # 2.
At that time, old castration's back was completely wet from the fright. He barked like a dog with eyes full of pleading. Although he was arrogant, he was not an idiot. With a single glance, it was clear that he wanted to kill someone. At that time, the old dog had already wet himself from the fear.
"Er Mao, look, this is the old dog that you're afraid of. It was so fierce when it hit you the day before yesterday!" Looking back at today, his eyes were filled with fear. He's afraid. He's afraid of you … " Xiao Letian didn't even bother to look at the two dead bodies on the ground and just kindly stared at Hairy # 2 who was 14 years old.
"He's afraid of me?" Hairy # 2's legs were trembling, and the wound still hurt a little. The scenes of the beating he received the day before yesterday still played in his mind. He was, after all, a child. How could he not be traumatized by such a serious injury?
"Of course I'm afraid of you. Because right now, you have the power to decide his life and death …" With that, Xiao Letian took out a one meter long jujube stick from his back that was as thick as an infant's arm.
Xiao Letian stuffed the stick into Hairy # 2's hands. "Here!" "This is the power he's afraid of …"
The Jujube tree was a hard wood commonly seen in the northern parts of China. It was often used to make furniture, and once this hard wooden stick that was filled with wooden tumors were to hit a person's body, it would definitely cause their bones and tendons to break.
Eunuch Zheng was so scared that he was crying. His piss kept rolling down his throat, and he actually struggled to kneel down to Hairy # 2, while mumbling to himself as if he was begging for mercy.
"Good child, think about it, didn't your mother almost die because of Bastard? And didn't you get beaten up by this old dog as well? Did he listen to you then? "Has he been soft-hearted …"
"Think about it again. If something were to happen to your mother the day before yesterday, would your sick father still be alive? "Your family of three will be finished …"
Xiao Letian had turned into a bewitching devil, he had planted the seeds of hatred in the heart of the young Hairy # 2.
"Child, you have to face the reality. You have been castrated by Knife Liu, you can't live in your hometown anymore, your little buddy will despise you, your Relatives will hate you, and even your family will think that you are an ominous person. You can't even enter the ancestral hall, let alone study …"
"There is only one path in front of you right now, and that is to enter the palace. Begin with Young Eunuch and slowly climb to the top. I will be behind you to protect you, take care of your family, and give you all kinds of support …"
"However, you must understand that this old dog is the first stumbling block in your life. When you enter the palace and fall into his hands, you will definitely be tortured to death by him. Child, do you really want him to torture you to death? "
The more Xiao Letian said, the more Hun Mao was scared. He didn't dare to imagine facing Eunuch Zheng alone. Xiao Letian really wanted to slap himself a few times. He felt that he was very wicked and bad.
However, Xiao Letian didn't regret his actions at all, because he knew that the future in Mao Mao's environment would be a cannibal hell. There was no kinship between eunuchs and those psychopaths would bite each other like a pack of wolves.
If Hairy # 2 wanted to live on and become someone who was not bullied, then he would have to turn himself into a wolf from now on.
"See the back of his head? "Hold the wooden stick tightly and hit him mercilessly. Remember that this person is an executioner, he caused the death of many children like you. You are acting on behalf of the heavens, you are doing good deeds …"
Xiao Letian grabbed onto Hairy # 2's collar and shook him hard. "Be strong. For your parents, you have to be strong. Protect your family like a real man. Don't let others beat up your poor mother again …"
"Ah!" Hairy # 2 finally exploded. He swung the wooden stick at the back of Eunuch Zheng's head. With a "pa" sound, the wooden lump on the heavy wooden stick hit old castration. The moment old castration rolled his eyes, he fainted.
Hairy # 2's eyes were bright red. He looked at the other eunuch, gnashed his teeth, and said, "And you. You were the one who kicked my mother. You were the most vicious …" With that, he swung the stick again. This time, it was as if he was hoeing the ground, and the wooden stick smashed onto Young Eunuch's head.
Er Mao was definitely on the verge of death. He swung the wooden stick and wanted to hit Ye Zichen again, but Xiao Letian snatched it away and hugged him to comfort him, "Good child, enough! You've done well enough …" Hairy # 2 burst into tears.
Xiao Letian hoped that Hairy # 2 would be brave and strong. He didn't want this kid to become a pervert too, so he definitely couldn't let the kid do something like killing people.
"Where's leopard head?" Xiao Letian carried the child and continued to give orders. leopard head who was in the casino in the shadows quickly walked over and knelt in front of Xiao Letian while waiting for his orders.
"Keep this case on your back. Once we pull it out, just punch twice more. There's no need to take your life. You can just keep fighting like an idiot …" In a while, constable head and Wang Hu will patrol the night. You and him will play a good part and turn the case into a clear case. Then you can just go back to the Taibai Top and hide … "
leopard head didn't say anything after he finished listening. He kowtowed, stood up, and walked back into the shadows. The order he gave Sima Yun was "Bring 100,000 eagles and deliver them to Capital City Chun Shisanniang. From today onwards, her main mission is to bribe the palace eunuchs …"
"When Hairy # 2 enters the capital, ask Aunt Thirteen to take care of him. First, ask her to send the child to Prince Gong's Mansion. First, learn how to read and write.
Xiao Letian massaged Hairy # 2's head and said with a pained heart, "What the f * ck is this world? Such a young child is still acting like a spoiled child, and yet his body was maimed to become Slave …" "When Laozi takes power, the first one to abolish this eunuch system will be …"
Speaking to that, Xiao Letian suddenly thought of something. In his impression, the eunuch Li Lianying mentioned by late Qing was not yet favored by him. If he wanted to befriend her, this was the perfect opportunity.
"Sima Yun, I'll tell Chun Shisanniang later. Right now, there should be a eunuch surnamed Li in the palace named underhand. He was recommended by Zheng Prince to enter the palace. His name seems to be Li Lianying." "This person is worth bribing. Don't worry about the money …"
After finishing everything, Xiao Letian carried Hairy # 2, who was crying, and walked back. "Er Mao, don't worry. I've hired the best doctor to treat your parents. You can rest assured." "I'll find some more jobs for your parents later. You don't have to worry about family matters …"
Not long after Xiao Letian and the others disappeared into the darkness, the night watchman's gong sounded out on the street, waking up all of the sleeping people.
"What are you looking at!?" I, leopard head, am responsible for my own work. This old bastard still doesn't pay me back the money I owe him. This was leopard head provoking him.
"Wow!" "Insolent bastard, you even dare to harm the eunuch serving in the palace. Come, come, come! Let's fight a great battle …" Aiya, just from one look, constable head, Wang Hu, is not good at acting.
This was the second time people had seen constable head and Wang Hu display his might on the long street. All of them applauded and cheered. As for the two eunuchs who had been beaten silly, they had been forgotten by everyone, lying in the corner and no one cared about them.
