Although Zhang Youze only agreed to take me with him after my various requests, I could already feel the seriousness of the matter through his serious face. How should I put it? What was the "Sanding Bureau" he said on the phone?
?
Zhang Youze seemed to feel my doubtful gaze, turned to look at me and said, "When we go in later, you can only follow me and you can't go anywhere. Can you do that?"
Zhang Youze's voice was calm, but his expression clearly told me that the so-called Sanding Bureau was not that simple, so I said, "Zhang Bureau, what exactly is the Sanding Bureau?"
Zhang Youze glanced at me, looked straight ahead again, and said: "In Philadelphia, bars, clubs, nightclubs and other entertainment venues, each venue has its own backer, and each venue has its own leader, but in
There will inevitably be some frictions and conflicts among people on the street. Philadelphia had an unwritten rule more than ten years ago. Once an irresolvable conflict occurs on two or more occasions, a three-way game will be set up to resolve it."
"So? What is that for? It can't be that hundreds of people gather together to fight and kill, right?" Thinking of the clips from Young and Dangerous that I had watched before, the scene of blood splattering suddenly appeared in front of my eyes, and my eyes were filled with laughter.
My legs couldn't help but tremble.
"Those were the rules from decades ago. In modern times, the stupid way to commit murder is to see blood. When everyone really fights, they kill without using a knife." Zhang Youze's voice was cold and his expression was flat, as if he was saying something.
This is an extremely trivial matter, "The Sanding Game is when two parties in conflict send representatives from all sides to gamble three times."
I breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it wasn't a shooting. For gambling, it wasn't a big deal.
"However, there are many ways to gamble," Zhang Youze continued: "Generally, they will choose billiards, sieves, stud, pai gow and other methods. In special cases, they will also gamble on human organs, but that is rare, because Philadelphia is independent
Since this rule was instituted, Sanding Bureau has only appeared once. Think about it, that was four years ago..."
"Human organs?" I looked at Zhang Youze in surprise, "Then if you lose, the winning side will need the opponent's eyes, right..."
"Yes, if you lose, either get out of Philadelphia and never go against the winning side, or let the winning side take part of your body as a qualification to stay. Of course, if you don't get out and stay, that's the same
Life is worse than death." Zhang Youze explained slowly.
"Why? Why is life worse than death? Do you still need to be discriminated against if you are disabled?" I asked anxiously.
"Not only that," Zhang Youze glanced at me again and continued: "Duoduo, although I am a public official, I still know more or less about the things on the road. The level of unspoken rules and cruelty is not as high as it is today.
Society is much lower, so I suggest you don’t come with me. I promise that if anything happens, I will notify you as soon as possible, how about it? "
I looked at Zhang Youze, and then I realized that the car was parked in the back street of Bar Street. Thinking that Xia Haoyu might be playing gambling games with a group of people at this moment, my little heart started pounding.
It kept going on and on, I was afraid, I was really afraid, what if those people who were making trouble for him wanted one of his organs... I... wouldn't I want to be with a disabled person?
How can I back down at this time? Do I still stay behind and watch him pour wine into his mouth like Jin Lianzi did last time? I think, I can't do it.
"You let me go with you, I will follow you, and I promise not to say a word or do anything, okay?" I looked at Zhang Youze, thinking that today's Qingcheng occasion was different from the past.
There is no way I can get away with it easily, so I can only beg Zhang Youze to take me with him.
Zhang Youze looked at me, with slight pity in his eyes. I knew he would definitely say those words to comfort me again, so I opened my mouth and said, "I promise, this is the last time I beg you.
Please.”
Zhang Youze showed surprise on his face, looked at me and said: "Duoduo, I won't take you in because I'm worried that you won't be able to stand it if you see two completely opposite sides of a person. I think if you see him later,
Xia Haoyu is no longer the Xia Haoyu in front of you, what will you do?"
"I don't care. He is my man. I have to go in. If he really wants his body's organs, I will persuade him to leave before then." I said decisively. But my legs couldn't help shaking. Xia Haoyu
What will happen? What will happen to him?
"Okay, I'll take you in," Zhang Youze sighed softly, looked at me and said, "Remember, this is a man's world, you don't want to interfere easily, understand?"
I nodded, opened the car door, followed Zhang Youze, turned around and walked into the alley, heading towards Qingcheng's location.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Youze and I walked in from the back door of Qingcheng. The two men who opened the door had an expression of awe on their faces when they saw Zhang Youze. After seeing me, the expressions on their faces turned to surprise, and we entered Qingcheng.
While I was there, I heard the two men behind me whispering: What a ghost today, how could a woman show up?
I secretly glanced at Zhang Youze's face and found that his expression was calm, so I pretended that nothing happened and continued to follow him, walking up the stairs to the second floor.
When I walked to the corridor on the second floor and looked towards the first floor, I was immediately shocked. There were two long tables clearly visible in the alluring hall. There were red velvet cloths on the long tables, and champagne and champagne were placed on the velvet cloths.
Fruits are placed on two long tables facing each other, and another table is at a ninety-degree angle to the two tables, just like the judges of a competition.
No one was sitting on the stools in front of the three tables, but behind the long table stood a whole row of men in neat uniforms, standing there solemnly and motionless.
If it weren't for the distance, I would even think that the three rows of men standing neatly like this are all fakes, because I only saw such an orderly queue during my military training in college.
I'm a little afraid. This posture is like a banquet, but not like a banquet. Although the items on the table are like a banquet, the atmosphere flowing in the air does not have the atmosphere of a banquet at all. It is indifferent, murderous, and even bloody.
.My legs began to shake involuntarily, because I had never thought that such a scene could exist in the ordinary city we live in.
I was afraid, so I only dared to follow Zhang Youze. But wasn’t there gambling in Sanding Game? Why didn’t I see any gambling supplies? Also, where were they? Where was Xia Haoyu?
I raised my head and looked at Zhang Youze. He had already led me into the room on the second floor. I hesitated whether to follow him in, but I heard him say: "They won't start in ten minutes. Let's go in first and wait."
Bar."
I followed Zhang Youze into the room. As soon as the door closed, I let out a long breath. What are you doing? Why is it stronger than the National People's Congress meeting?
"You stay in the house later and don't go out with me. If there is any problem, I will come over and tell you." Zhang Youze arranged his clothes and gently took off his fur coat. Only then did I realize that,
It turned out that he was actually wearing a thick layer of body armor.
I'm not sure if this is a bulletproof vest, because ordinary people like us will never see this kind of thing. I have only seen it in pictures, because Zhang Youze was changing clothes, so I consciously turned my face away.
Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the door. I looked at Zhang Youze in panic, but he looked at me calmly and said, "It might be about to start."
"I'll go out with you," I looked at Zhang Youze and said, "I will protect myself. If anything happens, I promise to be the first to turn around and leave, okay?"
Zhang Youze looked at me, finally sighed and said, "Don't worry, there is real danger, I will protect you. Let's go."
We left the box one after another and stood at the corner of the corridor on the second floor looking downstairs. When we lowered our heads, we saw people standing at the long table downstairs. My eyes were searching the crowd.
Xia Haoyu's figure was nowhere to be found.
Am I wrong? Xia Haoyu will never appear on such an occasion?
On both sides of the long table, Yu Minghui and his men were standing on one side, and on the other side, there was actually a gold chain! They... why did they get mixed up again?
My eyes moved slightly, and I saw the elegant man in a suit and tie sitting in front of a long table that looked like a referee. This figure... I always felt like I had seen it somewhere before. His expression was very serious, and his eyes were very serious.
Staring closely in front of him, the people on the other two sides seemed to be a little wary of him, but they didn't understand that there was no big fluctuation in Se Sheng's seat.
What I imagined was a scene where the two parties would measure each other up when they met did not appear here. On the contrary, both parties seemed to be waiting for the gentle man with black-rimmed glasses to speak. My eyes moved to
On that person, I always felt like I had seen this outline before somewhere.
"His name is He Kun, and he is a subordinate of Uncle De in the capital. It is said that he also holds an official position, but he is not sure what the specific position is now. He will be the referee for the Sanding Game this time..." Zhang Youze didn't know.
He knew when he appeared behind me, and his voice penetrated my eardrums and was transmitted to my brain. I should have been calm and composed, but the hot breath he exhaled gently circled my ears, which actually made me
I feel uncomfortable all over.
"I see," I responded nonchalantly and asked, "When will Brother Yu arrive?"
