Chapter 64: Present

In Tanzhou, a group of street urchins wandering the streets turned a corner and walked into a nightclub arm in arm.

This is the territory of Lao Ba of Tanzhou.

People like Lao Ba are said to be gangsters, but in fact they are just people who handle some things that are not easy to see for the major chambers of commerce.

You can't actually hold this kind of position for long. Forty years old is a hurdle. If you don't step down, your younger brothers will have no place for you. But if you step down, your enemies will most likely not let you off easily.

Lao Ba and others have only one source, which is whitewashing.

However, the Chamber of Commerce most of the time does not want to help with things like whitewashing. To the Chamber of Commerce, those who are covered in black are useful pawns, but those who are neither black nor white will be hesitant on both sides and will not be able to do anything well.

But now there is such an opportunity in front of Tanzhou Lao Ba.

News came from all the major chambers of commerce that their leaders had suddenly begun to vigorously search for rare treasures, and had raised the prices of antiques in the Ming Dynasty several times.

It is said that if you can find rare treasures that will catch the eye of the Chamber of Commerce's leader, then laundering them will not be a problem.

Lao Ba of Tanzhou was tempted. He was almost forty years old. If he couldn't clear his name, he would have no choice but to retreat.

However, many of those who retreated were killed by their enemies.

It’s because when I was young, I didn’t know how to give others a way out when doing things, which caused me to get into a lot of trouble.

So Lao Ba wanted to seize this opportunity to completely clear his name.

"Master Ba, this is a good thing passed down from my ancestors. Please help me take a look at it."

In a private room of the nightclub, a man with dyed white hair bowed and nodded in front of Tanzhou Lao Ba, just like a grandson.

There was a pillow on the table, made of wood, but the carvings on it were very unique. There was a ferocious ghost head carved on it.

Tanzhou Lao Ba did not say anything, but turned his head to look at the man behind him. The middle-aged man came out, turned the wooden pillow and looked at it carefully.

"It's from the early Ming Dynasty, but the style is rare."

“Is this considered a rare treasure?”

"In terms of value, I can't say, but some people like to hunt for novelties."

Lao Ba of Tanzhou fell silent. If someone dared to give him something like this with a ghost head carved on it, he would have to teach that person a lesson.

But the head of the Chamber of Commerce suddenly put away all kinds of rare treasures. If this thing is rare, it might really catch his eye.

Just as Lao Ba was thinking, there was a "click" sound and the lights in the nightclub suddenly went out.

"Damn it, stop making a mess. There's nothing left at home today."

As soon as the lights went out, Lao Ba spoke first.

He has had this experience many times before, and he must not panic at times like this, especially since his house is really clean today and he is not afraid of being checked.

In the pitch darkness, Lao Ba quickly pulled out his flashlight.

The flashlight lit up, and under the flickering light, Tanzhou Lao Ba saw an extremely strange scene.

On the table with the pillow, a paper man was standing on it and holding the pillow. It was wearing a hat like a servant, its face was heavily rosy, and the corners of its mouth were as red as blood, with a smile on its face.

The next moment, Tanzhou Lao Ba saw the paper man jumping off the table holding a pillow. It was only about 1.6 meters tall but extremely agile, and ran towards the door in two or three seconds.

"close the door!"

Lao Ba roared subconsciously.

"boom!"

The door was closed.

The younger brothers also took out their flashlights.

This is thanks to the fact that the cops are so fond of using this trick that people in nightclubs even carry flashlights.

The room suddenly became as bright as day, with rays of light illuminating the scene before their eyes clearly.

Among the crowd, the paper man was holding a wooden pillow, looking at the people around him with his small eyes.

The eerie atmosphere made everyone afraid to move.

At this time, Lao Ba of Tanzhou had come to his senses a little.

Is this paper man here to steal the pillow?

Is this pillow really a good thing?

Before Tanzhou Lao Ba could think about it, with a "bang", the paper man threw the pillow in his hand to the ground and pulled out a pair of scissors from behind.

The scissors flashed with a cold light and pierced directly into one person's thigh. Before the blood could splash out, the scissors had already pierced into another person's leg.

dark.

Shaking lights.

People screaming and blood scattered all over the ground.

The scene became chaotic in an instant.

Lao Ba immediately picked up the beer bottle and smashed it at the paper man.

“Bang!”

The paper man dodged quickly, but the beer bottle splashed on the ground and spilled on its feet.

The paper figure tilted, and its feet, which were soaked in the wine, suddenly shrank, as if it was lame.

"This thing is afraid of water, pour water on me!"

Wine bottles flew everywhere in the box, and soon the floor was covered with wine and broken glass.

The paper figure seemed to be stuck in a quagmire, being soaked by the wine bit by bit, and finally turned into a paper figure the size of a palm, no longer moving.

Upon seeing this, Lao Ba of Tanzhou couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It was also the first time for him to see such an evil method. Although he looked not afraid, his palms were actually covered in cold sweat.

Picking up the wooden pillow, Lao Ba saw a deep crack on it and a deep mark at the crack, which looked like it had just been made by a beer bottle.

Lao Ba lifted the crack, and suddenly seven or eight beads fell out. The beads fell to the ground, stained with wine and blood, and suddenly emitted a blue-green light.

The light is not bright, but it is full of a dreamy feeling.

………

The underworld of Tanzhou is such a small place, and the affairs of the nightclub could not be concealed by dozens of younger brothers. They are all young and hot-tempered, and they speak nonsense and have no scruples.

The news spread throughout Tanzhou Road in an instant.

The things that Chaofan wanted to snatch fell into the hands of Lao Ba of Tanzhou.

By three o'clock in the morning of that day, the news had already reached the ears of all major chambers of commerce.

That thing appeared in Tanzhou.

Appeared in the hands of a man named Tanzhou Lao Ba.

And this Tanzhou Laoba is a henchman of the Nantang Ma family.

But what does it matter if he is a henchman of the Nantang Ma family? Unless this thing is in the hands of the helmsmen of each family, it can be snatched away.

At four o'clock in the morning of that day, the forces under the various chambers of commerce in Tanzhou began to move.

Those who had no power in Tanzhou simply pulled people over from the surrounding areas. At six in the morning of that day, at least six hundred gang members entered Tanzhou.

In a word, I will get that thing by any means necessary.

The Nantang Ma family quickly arranged people to pick up Tanzhou Lao Ba and began to transfer people from outside.

Tanzhou Lao Ba must not die, and that thing must not be lost.

The Ma family’s helicopter has already flown towards Tanzhou.

As for what Lao Ba of Tanzhou wanted to do to clear his name, that was not a problem at all.

In the early morning, when the people of Tanzhou woke up from their dreams, they felt that something was wrong with the whole city.

It seems like something is brewing somewhere that no one can see.
