Late at night, a two-horse carriage drove out of the city lord's mansion.
"drive!"
The coachman raised his whip and slapped the horse on the buttocks. The horse felt the pain and ran wildly with its hooves raised.
The horses are fat and strong, and they go round and round with great energy, pulling the carriage at full speed on the open and spacious road.
Anyone who pays attention to the City Lord's Mansion can recognize at a glance that this carriage is the exclusive vehicle of Qi Yoyo, the daughter of the City Lord's Mansion. At this time, it is Qi Yoyo and her personal maid Dongmei who are sitting in the carriage.
.
"Have you brought any money?" Qi Yoyo asked the maid with a smile in the carriage.
The maid Dongmei's eyes lit up and she asked: "Miss, do you want to play a few games?"
Qi Yoyo pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "It's hard to get the chance to go to the boxing ring once, so I have to seize the opportunity to play twice. Besides, it's a once-in-a-lifetime big show. It's a pity that the eldest brother and the second brother are not at home, otherwise I would call them two."
It would be nice to be together."
"Giggle" the maid giggled happily and said: "It's been a long time since I saw the second young master show off his power in the ring. I still remember the last time, just because the second young master of the Wei family took one more look at you, the second young master of the Wei family dragged him up.
She was beaten into a pig's head in the ring. After that, the second young master of the Wei family was like a mouse seeing a cat when he saw the lady, he was afraid to the core of his bones."
"Gee, my second brother's temper has always been so bad." Qi Yoyo was also happy.
The maid opened the purse containing the money, took a look at it, and said, "Miss, there are only more than two hundred taels, is it enough?"
Qi Yoyo nodded and said: "That's enough. Just play a few games for fun, but you can't delay your business. Blind uncle, hurry up, don't miss the exciting show."
"Okay." The old one-eyed man who was driving the carriage responded, raised his whip and whipped the horse's butt three times, causing the horse to neigh and run forward with all its strength.
…
Wang Tienan was in an unusually gloomy and irritable mood.
He originally thought that this explosive fight was a prank made by some guy who was bored, and he also wanted to use this prank to enhance the atmosphere of the boxing ring and ignite the passion.
But what’s the result?
The atmosphere was good, but instead of being full of passion, the whole place was filled with anger and curses, which caused great damage to the reputation of the boxing ring.
What made Wang Tienan gnash his teeth the most was that the boxing ring was doing a loss-making business despite being scolded all over the place. Just now, the chief financial officer came over to report that the boxing ring lost more than 3,000 taels in four boxing matches.
More than three thousand taels was just a small amount to Wang Tienan, but he was extremely angry. It was not that he was petty, but that he was losing money and reputation, and no one could stand it.
According to the report of the chief financial officer, despite the criticism, their boxing ring could have made a lot of money after these four boxing matches. Especially in the third and fourth matches, almost everyone bet on the banker to win. In the end, both games were all
It was Zhang Xiaopawn who won, and the banker won big.
But there are two people who are very hateful. One bets two thousand taels on Zhang Xiaopou, and the other bets five thousand taels on Zhang Xiaopou, so that the boxing ring lost more than 60,000 taels in one go. In other words, these two people are the ones who
The key to losing money in the boxing ring.
"Could it be the fault of these two people?" Wang Tienan had to doubt this.
Zhu Zixuan?
Wang Tienan shook his head and quickly gave up his doubts about Zhu Zizhen.
Zhu Zizhen is a frequent visitor to the boxing ring, and he knows Zhu Zizhen. If it was Zhu Zizhen who was responsible, he would never bet only 5,000 taels, and he would have to start with at least 50,000 taels.
Wang Tienan knew that Zhu Zizhen had always had a vicious eye, so it was most likely that he noticed Zhang Xiaopawn's extraordinary strength, which aroused his gambling addiction, so he bought 5,000 taels of Zhang Xiaopawn to win.
Wang Tienan felt that his inference should be accurate, so he turned his attention to the one who bought Zhang Xiaopawn in four consecutive games and placed bets in each game without waiting for the winner to be announced. He had full confidence in Zhang Xiaopawn.
On the body of a strange boy with a broken arm.
"Where did the boy with a broken arm come from?"
"Is it possible that he is in the same group as Zhang Xiaopeng in the ring?"
"One is responsible for fighting? The other is responsible for betting and winning money?"
"Have the people who went to the city gate officer to investigate when Zhang Xiaopeng entered the city come back?"
Wang Tienan suspected the relationship between Zhou Jianlai and Zhang Xiaozhu, but he had no clue for a while, so he asked if the person who went to check Zhang Xiaozhu's identity was back.
"Replying to the Young Master, not yet." The subordinate reported back.
"It took so long to get a small thing done, you're just a bunch of losers." Wang Tienan cursed angrily.
"Sir, Dong Zhongshan is awake." Someone came to report.
"Oh. What did he say? How did you lose?" Wang Tienan raised his eyebrows and asked hurriedly.
"Back to the young master, he said he didn't know and was punched by Zhang Xiaopou for no apparent reason. However, he said there were two things for sure. First, Zhang Xiaopou's momentum was very suppressive; second, Zhang Xiaopou's strength was great.
It’s beyond the reach of ordinary people.”
Wang Tienan frowned, he knew Dong Zhongshan's strength best, but he actually said that his defeat was inexplicable, which meant that Zhang Xiaozhu's strength was extraordinary, at least he could crush Dong Zhongshan's level.
"With a cultivation level of Zhanmen Realm, his strength can crush Dong Zhongshan." Wang Tienan had a headache. He didn't know who should defend the next match. The people below had already told him that the boy with the broken arm bought Zhang Xiaopeng for another 20,000 taels.
If he wins again with high odds, it will be too much to bear.
"Go and ask Mr. Chen to come." Wang Tienan thought for a long time and finally decided to invite the strongest defender of the Wang family to prevent him from being beaten by Zhang Xiaopawn.
"Yes." His subordinates took the order and left.
"Give way to the next round." Wang Tienan was about to give instructions to the ring keepers for the next round, but was interrupted by a voice from outside the door.
I heard a voice outside the door laughing and saying, "Brother Wang, I'm here to help you solve your problem."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man opened the door and walked in.
Wang Tienan saw the appearance of the visitor clearly, put on a polite smile and asked, "I wonder what Mr. Wei has to do?"
The person who came was none other than Mr. Wei, who had made a one-hundred-thousand-dollar bet with Zhu Zizhen on family honor. Wei Zizhi knew it.
Wang Tienan knew every young man in Beibacheng, and naturally he also knew Wei Zizhi.
Wei Zizhi did not answer immediately, but walked to the window of the room, pointed at Zhang Xiaopeng on the ring in the boxing ring below and said, "Brother Wang, does he know whose boxer that kid is?"
Wang Tienan was shocked when he heard this. He was troubled by Zhang Xiaopeng's identity. He never thought that Wei Zizhi would know about it. Judging from the meaning behind his words, it seemed like someone raised this pawn as a boxer and came to the boxing gym specifically to find trouble, so he hurriedly asked
He said: "I won't hide it from my dear brother, but I am anxious and distressed about this matter. I hope that my dear brother will not hesitate to give me some advice."
"Humph" Wei Zizi snorted coldly, knowing he was displeased: "This guy is a boxer trained by Zhu Zixuan, and he is here to cause trouble today."
"Seriously?" Wang Tienan was quite surprised, because this was contrary to his inference.
"It's absolutely true!" Wei Zizhi assured him, patting his chest, because he had already determined in his heart that Zhang Xiaozhu was the boxer trained by Zhu Zizhen, so he was very sure when he said it.
Wang Tienan saw that his words were correct and his voice was vibrating, and he immediately believed him.
However, he did not rush to a conclusion, but asked tentatively: "When the wise brother came in just now, he said that he had a way to solve the problem of being a brother. I wonder what the wise brother has?"
"I can invite Barbarian Bear to guard the next match for my eldest brother." Wei Zizhi said in a low voice.
Wang Tienan's eyes lit up and he asked eagerly: "Is this true?"
"I have sent people to find him, but I need Brother Wang to find a way to postpone the start of the next game." Wei Zizhi said.
"How long should we postpone it? If it takes too long, I'm afraid it won't work." Wang Tienan frowned.
"It doesn't take long, a quarter of an hour is enough." Wei Zi knew.
