Chapter 17 Challenge
As soon as Dao San's words came to light, the Yama Field, which had been quiet all this time, burst out with a loud noise. Even Lin Xiaolong, who had been sitting lifelessly on the podium, widened his eyes and even raised his buttocks slightly.
He seemed to be standing up and looked very surprised.
Ever since Pang Jindong entered the ring, Lin Peiwen had not sat firmly on the sand, her buttocks were just slightly on one side. At this time, she jumped up and stared at the two people on the ring with wide eyes.
At the same time, she also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, because it seemed that Pang Jindong was not in danger for the time being.
Fathead Fish and Xiaofeng looked at the boxing ring, at Lin Peiwen, and then at the rostrum. They didn't know what to say or what to do.
This scene was so unexpected that their minds went blank and they had no idea for a moment.
After one party wins, according to normal procedures, the next step should be to accept the land and business from the Northeast Gang and the Huainan Gang under the auspices of the underground federation.
However, the duel in the Yama Field must be considered to end when someone dies. This matter will inevitably become a problem in the future, so no one in the Xinglong Gang has the joy of victory.
Not only the people from the Xinglong Gang, but other people in the Yama Field were also shocked. The noise became louder and louder, and some people were even cursing in a low voice.
Of all the people present, only Pang Jindong looked very calm, still standing there relaxedly, as if nothing had happened.
Dao San stood opposite Pang Jindong, looking up at the skylight on the dome, looking a little embarrassed.
Lin Xiaolong knew that he had to stand up at this time, so he coughed twice and said into the microphone: "Everyone, be quiet!"
Lin Xiaolong's words were still very weighty, and the noise gradually calmed down. Everyone stopped making loud noises and started talking among themselves in whispers.
Lin Xiaolong glanced around, sighed silently, and then asked Dao San: "What did you just say?"
Dao San declared loudly: "I said, I surrender!"
Lin Xiaolong's brows were knitted together, and his fat, white face made such an expression, giving people a very funny feeling, as if dough was being kneaded.
He picked up the pieces of paper and asked again: "Do you know what this is?"
"Of course I know!" Dao San curled his lips and replied uncomfortably: "It's the bill we ordered with the Xinglong Gang!"
The academic meaning of the so-called "white note" refers to cargo invoices and evidence of receipt and payment that do not meet the requirements of formal vouchers. For a long period of time, many places collected farmers' grain and issued white notes instead of paying them.
Farmers who are dominated by money have no choice but to use white bars as general equivalents.
However, "baitiao" in Dao Sankou has another meaning, that is, the contract signed by several gangs before the duel.
In the underground world dominated by the underground federation, this kind of contract has the same effect as a contract or other legal documents, but legal documents are guaranteed to be executed by the law, and this kind of contract is guaranteed to be executed by the underground federation, so it cannot be called
Names commonly used by people.
There are several reasons why it is called "baitiao". First, it is just as illegal as ordinary "baitiao";
Secondly, depending on the outcome in the Yama Field, it may or may not be honored, somewhat like an IOU issued by an official;
Thirdly, a "white note" is a piece of white paper, which may have nothing written on it or may have everything written on it.
Lin Xiaolong reminded Dao San: "You won't forget what's written on it, right?"
"Of course!" Dao San nodded, his expression looked weird, and his tone sounded even weirder: "Isn't it just that the Xinglong Gang wants our business and land? At worst, give it to them. If you want anything else, the entire Northeast Gang
Give it to them too!”
"Dao San is crazy!" This was the first thought that came to many people's minds after hearing this sentence. Other gang bosses who were sitting close to the Northeast Gang even raised their voices and openly said to Dao San's men: "
Send your boss to Ankang Hospital quickly!"
Ankang Hospital specializes in accommodating severely mentally ill patients and providing compulsory treatment for drug addicts. It is actually a department within the public security system. "Ankang Hospital" is just a name for the outside world.
The meaning of the boss's words was obvious, but the two subordinates brought by Dao San saw that their boss was still on the stage and were inconvenient to act immediately, so they just glared at each other without saying anything.
Even people from the Xinglong Gang had this kind of suspicion. Fathead Fish whispered to Lin Peiwen: "Did Dao San take the wrong medicine, or simply forgot to take it!"
Lin Peiwen looked at Pang Jindong's appearance and shook her head thoughtfully: "There is something wrong with this!"
At this time, Lin Xiaolong spoke again: "Dao San, have you thought about it?"
Lin Xiaolong had never encountered such a thing before, and he obviously felt very embarrassed, which caused a change in his expression.
The change in his expression was different from that of ordinary people. It was not that his facial features were moving, but that the fat on his face was trembling.
Seeing that Dao San was stubbornly willing to betray himself, the Hell Field became agitated again just after it calmed down. Some people even shouted loudly: "Dao San, just merge the Northeast Gang into us, why are you taking advantage of that little girl Lin Peiwen!"
At this time, a man walked quickly to the rostrum, stretched his upper arms to both sides to support the table, his palms made a "snap" sound with the table, leaned over and looked at Lin Xiaolong condescendingly, and said: "
This duel cannot be abandoned like this!"
This person's voice was not too loud, but he had a decisive attitude, and his words were very clear. I don't know why the entire Yama Field could hear him.
"Liu Erjiang..." Lin Xiaolong looked around, sighed, and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Don't you understand what I mean?" Liu Erjiang snorted softly and continued: "The Yama Field is not for people to go up and down at will. If no one dies, it cannot be over!"
Since Lin Peiwen specifically stated before entering the venue not to look around, Pang Jindong did not see Liu Erjiang, even though he knew he must be there.
It wasn't until Liu Erjiang jumped out on his own initiative that Pang Jindong took a closer look at his old rival.
We haven't seen him for a while, and Liu Erjiang hasn't changed much, except that his figure seems a little fatter, and his temperament has taken on more gangsterism.
Lin Peiwen didn't make this request to Pang Jindong for nothing. Even ordinary people don't like others to look at them. What's more, the people in the Yama Field have considerable background and power. A casual glance is likely to attract the attention of others.
A conflict.
In fact, people in the Yama Field themselves can control their gaze very well and pay attention not to look at other people too much.
It was only when Pang Jindong came on the field that Liu Erjiang knew who was playing the second game on behalf of the Xinglong Gang.
Liu Erjiang's palace was very deep and he didn't show any emotion on the surface. Until he heard Dao San's words, he couldn't sit still anymore.
Just as Lin Xiaolong was about to speak, Dao San jumped down from the stage and asked Liu Erjiang with his chest held high: "Do you have to die before one of you is willing to do so?"
Liu Erjiang smiled coldly: "The rules are like this, and there's nothing I can do about it!"
"Then to tell you the truth, I either really admit defeat or I just don't want to fight!" After a pause, Dao San asked word by word: "Do you understand?"
"Of course I understand!" Liu Erjiang's figure is not thin. Although he still looks weak in front of Dao San, he does not show any fear, and his expression is full of contempt: "The people who really don't understand are the people who don't understand.
You, you said you don’t want to fight so you won’t fight?! The rules of the federation are very clear, the bet on the Yama Field cannot be revoked!"
Pang Jindong also came down from the stage, came to Liu Erjiang, and said with a sneer: "I have studied the rules of the association. It is true that the bet cannot be revoked, and the person must die in the duel! But..." Pang Jindong suddenly raised his voice when he said this.
: "I didn't say I wasn't allowed to admit defeat!"
When Liu Erjiang heard this, he immediately understood that Pang Jindong and Dao San had colluded long ago and had set up such a plan.
Since the bet cannot be revoked, Pang Jindong and Dao San went on stage, but they did not really duel, but asked Dao San to admit defeat, thus avoiding the death of one party.
This plan actually took advantage of the rules. Liu Erjiang believed that Dao San could not have been thought up and could only be the work of Pang Jindong.
And if Pang Jindong and Dao San had colluded long ago, there would have been no bet between the Xinglong Gang and the Northeast Gang, so the two only reached cooperation later.
Based on his knowledge of Pang Jindong's whereabouts and other information, Liu Erjiang speculated that the time of cooperation may have been during the six months when Pang Jindong was in exile.
Although Liu Erjiang knew that Pang Jindong had been controlling domestic affairs abroad, Pang Jindong's friend Lin Peiwen had a deep relationship with the Northeast Gang, so it was difficult for him to imagine how this cooperation was achieved.
Thinking that something that shouldn't have happened actually happened, Liu Erjiang regretted not taking action against Pang Jindong's family and subordinates.
However, if he really had to start things over again, he still wouldn't really do anything, because Chen Mingjun's case was suppressed abruptly, which already showed that someone at the top wanted to protect Pang Jindong.
Although he is crazy enough, he is not crazy enough to not care about anyone or anything.
As for why Dao San was willing to admit defeat and give up his business and land to the Xinglong Gang, Liu Erjiang had no way of knowing. He only speculated that Pang Jindong might have promised Dao San greater benefits.
But after Liu Erjiang thought about it, he rejected this possibility and exchanged greater benefits for the land and business of "Baitiao". For Pang Jindong, this cooperation was like losing watermelons and picking up sesame seeds. It would be better to send his men to fight in a duel.
"But..." Liu Erjiang raised his eyebrows and said, "The rules don't say you can admit defeat!"
"The rules don't say you can't admit defeat!" Pang Jindong said tit for tat: "The rules don't say it's not allowed, then it's allowed!"
Liu Erjiang looked at Pang Jindong with complicated eyes, then turned to Lin Xiaolong and said: "Chairman Lin, at this time, shouldn't you make an idea?"
Such a thing as admitting defeat has never happened in the Yama Field, because the conflicts to be resolved in the Yama Field are all very big conflicts, and there is no possibility of reconciliation at all, so every duel ends with the death of one party.
In fact, in other dueling arenas, it is not uncommon to admit defeat, but people from the underground federation have never considered it.
Logically speaking, Pang Jindong's words are correct, and Lin Xiaolong also agrees: "If Dao San is willing to give the things on the note to Lin Peiwen, then..."
Liu Erjiang interrupted Lin Xiaolong: "How is this possible!"
"Why not?"
"Chairman Lin, you'd better think clearly, do you respect the opinions of members, or are you some other messed up person?" Liu Erjiang leaned down lower, his nose almost touching Lin Xiaolong's forehead, causing a strong oppression on Lin Xiaolong
feel.
"What is a mess?" Pang Jindong said calmly: "Boss Liu, you'd better speak clearly!"
"That's you!" Liu Erjiang's posture did not change, and he looked at Pang Jindong sideways: "What are you? Are you a member of the Federation? You are just a thug invited by the Xinglong Gang, what qualifications do you have to speak here?"
Pang Jindong had a series of prominent identities. Although Liu Erjiang knew about it, he deliberately did not mention it because these identities had no say in the underground federation, so he wanted to humiliate Pang Jindong by saying this.
Pang Jindong was still not angry in the face of this provocation. He pointed at Daosan and said, "But he is a member, and Lin Peiwen is also a member. Do their opinions matter?"
Liu Erjiang couldn't say anything for a moment, so he coughed twice to hide his embarrassment and looked around.
Other members immediately started shouting again, some demanding that Dao San admit defeat, and some angrily scolding Dao San.
Different attitudes are due to different positions and interests. Some people are closer to the Jianghai Gang, while others have a better relationship with the Xinglong Gang; some people bet on the Northeast Gang on the periphery, while others bet on the Northeast Gang.
Star Dragon Gang.
As a result, there were disagreements in the underground federation. Since no one's opinions were adopted, everyone became more and more noisy, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder.
This kind of chaotic scene has never appeared in the Yama Field. It is only because the prestige accumulated over the years is still there that it has not become worse.
Pang Jindong has no doubt that if it were any other situation, these bosses would have fought a long time ago.
Lin Peiwen walked over quickly, stood next to Pang Jindong, and said loudly to Liu Erjiang: "Liu, did you spend a lot of money on the outside to buy the Northeast Gang? You really underestimated our Xinglong Gang. This time we
You really won’t win without a fight, and you’ll have to pay for all those two stinky money! If you can’t survive, just tell me that I can support you with 35,000 yuan, it won’t be a problem!”
