Chapter 159 Chapter 159 I’m here to give you some money…
In the private room, Zhang Jing took a sip of tea and said slowly, "Oh, it seems this guy is quite capable. Tell me, how many moves can he withstand from you?"
Others may not know, but Zhang Jing knows clearly that although Zhou Laoer looks like a rough man, he has trained in his early years. When they were in the capital together, this man was a well-known figure beside his master.
This shows how powerful Zhou Laoer is.
Unlike Zhou Laoer, Zhang Jing is thin and has an elegant appearance. In the words of the villagers, he looks like a scholar and definitely not like the head of a gambling house.
In the eyes of the villagers, gambling itself represents "bad". When talking about gambling, the first thing they think of is how someone lost a lot of money because of gambling, and ended up having their hands and feet broken, losing everything, or selling their children.
However, the difference between Jin Man Lou and other gambling houses is that here, once you run out of money, you can forget about continuing to gamble. In other gambling houses, they would have coaxed you into putting your fingerprints on an IOU that would compound interest.
But no matter how good Jin Man Lou was, in the eyes of the people, it was almost the same as other gambling houses. Naturally, the person who opened the gambling house could not be a good person.
Haven’t you seen the owners of other gambling houses? They are either fat and big-eared or look like bad guys or those who are not easy to mess with.
Who would have thought that the boss of Jin Manlou was such a gentle, elegant and scholarly man.
Beneath Zhang Jing's deceptive appearance, only his younger brothers like Zhou Laoer know what it means to be a foolproof person.
Zhou Lao Er scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "Brother, you got it wrong. I was defeated after more than ten moves by him."
"How could this person have such skills?" Zhang Jing frowned slightly. "Have you tried to find out his previous identity?"
With such skills, Zhang Jing would not be foolish enough to believe that such a person could be an unknown village boy.
"This guy's name is Xu Yunfan. I sent people to investigate. Xu Yunfan is from overseas. He's favored by Jiang Lanfang. Even though he doesn't have the status of a scholar, Jiang Lanfang still made an exception and hired him. Now he's the teacher of Class C6 of Qingfeng Academy. Also, I heard from the brothers that the popular snack bar in Qinghe Town is owned by his husband..."
Zhou Lao Er explained it in detail again. The more Zhang Jing listened, the tighter his brows knitted. "What do you think the chances are that we can recruit someone like this?"
Zhang Jing's counter-question completely woke Zhou Laoer up.
Yes, Xu Yunfan has the status, the money, and the force. Although his status is not too high and his money is not too much, based on these conditions, why would he be so stupid as to ruin his reputation and "go along with them" and become disliked?
Seeing Zhou Laoer's disappointed look, Zhang Jing changed the subject, "The nobleman from the capital has arrived in Qingling County. Tell the brothers below to be careful and not to offend anyone."
"What noble man? He's nothing but a scumbag who abandoned his husband and children." Zhou Laoer pouted. If it weren't for this noble man, why would he leave his master and come here to work as a thug in a gambling house?
To be honest, he wanted to take advantage of his illness to kill him.
"Be careful with your words." Zhang Jing warned softly, "As a guard, you know what you should and shouldn't say. Have you forgotten?"
Zhou Lao Er was unconvinced. "We're the only two here, can't we just say a few words? If it weren't for him, how could our young master disappear? If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have to look for him so carefully. After all these years, we still haven't found any clues about the young master."
Zhang Jing was silent.
Not to mention that Zhou Laoer was not convinced, Zhang Jing also had a lot of complaints about Xiao Hengzhi.
Although he was not sure what misunderstandings there were between his master and Xiao Hengzhi, he only knew that his master had written a letter asking Xiao Hengzhi to bring the young master back to the capital. After all, the northern border was not a place for a child to stay.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Hengzhi wrote back a letter. They didn't know what was written in the letter, but they guessed that Xiao Hengzhi had abandoned her husband and children.
Because they waited for a long time but no one from Xiao Hengzhi came, after the master received the letter, he sat alone in the main tent all night. The next day, the disheveled man, with bloodshot eyes and a distraught look, stared at the young master for a long time. Finally, he couldn't help it and hugged the young master, muttering something like he didn't want them anymore, which made the young master burst into tears.
After hearing some disjointed words, they all knew the relationship between their master and Xiao Hengzhi and wondered whether Xiao Hengzhi was getting tired of the old and fascinated by the new.
In their eyes, their own master is naturally perfect in every way. He can fight and lead troops. Even though his body is not as delicate as other guys, on the battlefield, a weak person cannot even hold a gun and can only be killed by the enemy with one punch.
In their minds, such a good person is not necessarily so in the eyes of outsiders.
There are so many beautiful women in the capital, and there are countless gentle and delicate men. A man as charming as Xiao Hengzhi, with just his face, can attract many people with just a wave of his finger.
They all speculated that Xiao Hengzhi might have gotten together with someone else and abandoned their master.
Everyone who knows knows that when it comes to Xiao Hengzhi and Qin Feiyu, it was Qin Feiyu who took the initiative and pestered Xiao Hengzhi. Xiao Hengzhi only agreed to be with Qin Feiyu after he became impatient with him.
People in the capital who know Xiao Hengzhi all know that Xiao Hengzhi does not like boys, but only likes sweet and soft women.
Where is Qin Feiyu?
He is very hard and not as petite and weak as other guys. How can he possibly arouse a man's desire to protect him?
When Xiao Hengzhi and Qin Feiyu are together, it is hard to say who will protect whom. In this case, wouldn't Xiao Hengzhi lose face?
Zhang Jing and others have been unable to understand why their master is good in every way except for his eyes when it comes to men. He likes anyone but Xiao Hengzhi, the playboy. Xiao Hengzhi is also a playboy. It is said that Xiao Hengzhi changes women as fast as he changes clothes, and he changes his partner almost every day.
But even though Xiao Heng is such a playboy, there are still many women throwing themselves at him.
There's no other reason. Apart from his status and position, just sleeping with Xiao Hengzhi's face is a great deal.
Qin Feiyu, who is obsessed with looks, is naturally no exception.
And the first person he fell in love with was also Xiao Hengzhi.
Qin Feiyu, who grew up in a military camp, thinks very simply. If you like something, then go for it bravely. Hesitation and hesitation are not the style of the Qin family.
In this world, there are no enemies that cannot be defeated, and no people that cannot be defeated. If there are, it means you are not working hard enough.
Qin Feiyu tried hard, so Xiao Hengzhi was briefly defeated by him.
At the same time, Qin Feiyu's story also perfectly verified a saying, that is, once you see beauty, you will be ruined for life.
I accidentally got off topic again, let’s get back to the main topic.
Recalling a small part of what happened back then, Zhang Jing couldn't help but sigh, "What's the point of saying all this now? The master has chosen the wrong person, so he must bear the consequences. Even if we don't like Xiao Hengzhi, his status means that you and I can't touch him."
This is what made Zhou Laoer angry. If it were any other man who had abandoned his master, the grass on his grave would probably be an inch high by now.
But that person happened to be Xiao Hengzhi. I couldn't hit him, nor could I scold him. I could only be angry inwardly. It was really bad luck to meet Xiao Hengzhi.
Seeing Zhou Laoer's distorted face, Zhang Jing warned him, "Now the Qin and Xiao families are not interfering with each other. Don't make trouble, otherwise I will not let you off easily."
"I know." Zhou Lao Er mocked, "Besides, with his status, how could I possibly get close to him? I don't know if it's because he's cheated on so many people that he holds a grudge against him. Otherwise, who would dare to assassinate him? The other party must hate him to death, so why didn't they kill him? What a pity."
Just when Zhang Jing wanted to say something, Gu Xiaosan ran upstairs and knocked on the door, "Second brother, someone is looking for you downstairs."
"Who? Is someone causing trouble?" Zhou Laoer asked in a rough voice. These young masters are really hard to please. They can't afford to lose and insist on playing. They also have very bad tempers.
Gu Xiaosan: "No, it was Xu Yunfan who came."
Jin Manlou was quite famous in Qingling County, so Xu Yunfan could find out the truth by just asking anyone.
Standing in front of the three-story Jinmanlou gate, Xu Yunfan glanced at the big men standing on both sides of the gate like gatekeepers.
Seeing the two big men standing there, Xu Yunfan lowered his eyes in deep thought. When he looked up again, a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes. It was quite interesting. It seemed that the person behind Jin Manlou was not simple.
The waiter at Jin Man Lou saw the guest coming and greeted him with a smile, "Young Master, you want to come in and play a few games. What do you want to play?"
As a waiter at Jin Man Lou, you have to be a bit observant. Not only do you have to remember people, but it is also essential to remember the hobbies of each guest.
The waiter had never seen the young man in front of him before. He had a strange face and was very "clean". He did not wear pendants or jade pendants like other young masters. Even his clothes were ordinary stuff. Compared with other guests who often came to play, he was cheap.
Even if such a person plays, he probably won't be able to play for long.
But the waiter did not treat Xu Yunfan differently just because he was dressed ordinary, and greeted him the same way.
Regardless of whether the guests have money or not, the waiters just need to do their job well. If they look down on others and accidentally get into trouble, they will be in trouble.
Xu Yunfan chuckled, "I don't want to play. I want to find your Zhou Laoer. Is he here?"
A good man must stay away from the four evils of pornography, gambling, drugs and prostitution.
Xu Yunfan doesn't know how to gamble, but that doesn't mean he doesn't know how to gamble.
This smile made the waiter stunned and he forgot to react for a long time. If the gatekeeper had not coughed, he would have not recovered from the beauty.
Damn, a man looks like this, and his smile is softer than a boy's. No wonder those young masters who come to play are curious about some men.
"You want to see our second boss?" The waiter obviously didn't expect this.
Xu Yunfan nodded. "Yes, we got to know each other after fighting. He said that he admired my strength very much and told me to come find him when I have time."
Men's mouths are full of lies. They say so much, but not a single word of it is true.
The waiter was half-believing it, but didn't dare to offend anyone, so he asked Xu Yunfan to wait for a while and went to find Gu Xiaosan himself.
He didn't want to bring Xu Yunfan in, for fear that he would be noticed by the young masters having fun inside.
Xu Yunfan was the person that the second brother wanted to recruit, so Gu Xiaosan dared not delay.
After getting Zhou Laoer's reply, Gu Xiaosan took Xu Yunfan upstairs from the next door and finally stopped outside a room. "My second brother is inside, you go in."
"Thank you."
Xu Yunfan thanked him and pushed the door open. "Brother Zhou Er, long time no see. Can you please come in?"
Zhou Laoer, who was sitting at the tea table by the window, felt a pain all over his body when asked this question. He snorted with annoyance, "What do you mean by 'long time no see'?"
"It's not that it's been long. I miss you so much that it feels like a long time since I last saw you. Now that you say that, doesn't it feel like it's been a long time?" Xu Yunfan smiled and started teasing people.
Zhang Jing, who was sitting next to him, twitched his lips and couldn't help but look at Xu Yunfan with admiration.
Since he dared to tease Zhou Laoer, Zhang Jing had to respect him as a man.
After seeing the visitor's appearance clearly, Zhang Jing finally understood that what Zhou Laoer said, "Xu Yunfan is a man who is unforgettable, even better than that bastard," was indeed not an exaggeration.
Zhou Laoer got goosebumps all over his body. He knew that Xu Yunfan was taking revenge on him because of what he had said the other day, "No money? Then leave that guy behind." Xu Yunfan still holds a grudge against him.
He remembered clearly that when he said this, Xu Yunfan's face was so dark that ink seemed to drip out of it.
Although it was very interesting to see Zhou Laoer get humiliated, he was still his brother after all, so he had to protect him at the critical moment. "Are you Xu Yunfan?"
"It's me. May I ask who you are?" Xu Yunfan just stood there, facing Zhang Jing's gaze and looking back at him openly.
This person is indeed as interesting as my second brother said.
Don't be fooled by his elegant appearance. As my friends say, some people have an oppressive aura, and he is one of them.
Xu Yunfan seemed to have his own protective shield and was fearless.
Zhang Jing signaled with his eyes, "Zhang Jing, you are a guest, please sit down."
With just one simple sentence, Xu Yunfan knew who this person was. He naturally walked over to the seat opposite Zhou Laoer and sat down. "Thank you, boss."
The boss, the shopkeeper, and the manager are actually similar.
In some shops, the shopkeeper or boss is the owner.
In some shops, due to different job levels, there is a boss above the shopkeeper. The so-called boss is actually the real boss of the shop, and the shopkeeper is the small boss hired by these big bosses.
Xu Yunfan had inquired and found out that Zhou Laoer was the second in command of Jin Manlou. Here, he didn't even have the qualifications to ask him to sit down. Obviously, Zhang Jing's status was higher than his.
Such a person is either the boss or the employer. No matter what his identity is, it will never go wrong to call him the boss.
"Do you know that I'm the boss here?" Zhang Jing smiled. This kid was a little smarter than he thought.
Xu Yunfan: "I'm not stupid. On the contrary, I think I'm quite smart."
Zhang Jing: “…”
He didn't know how to respond to this.
He said dryly, "Are all young men these days so...direct in their speech?"
"This is not direct, this is the fact." How could Xu Yunfan not understand the meaning of Zhang Jing's words.
Zhou Laoer didn't listen at all and simply said nothing.
Zhang Jing couldn't take this any further and changed the subject, "I don't know what you want to talk to me about, little brother."
Xu Yunfan: "Of course I'm here to give money to the boss."
"Oh, what do you mean?" Zhang Jing personally poured half a cup of tea for Xu Yunfan. "I guess what you said is not what I understood."
"Of course, if I want to play, why should I come up here?" Could it be that just because he knows Zhou Laoer, they can give him any discount?
Zhang Jing dared to pour tea for him, so why didn't Xu Yunfan dare to drink it?
He drank it.
Still swallowed it.
Xu Yunfan was really thirsty after coming here from home without having a sip of water. The small cup of tea was so little that it was not even enough for a sip. He pushed the cup back.
Zhang Jing: “…”
This little guy is really brave.
Since he came to Qingling County to open a gambling house, few people dared to let him pour tea.
Zhang Jing poured another glass for Xu Yunfan.
