Chapter 169 The three martial arts masters visit Fengde Tower, and the gangsters demand a debt and a contract
When Zhou Shi dragged his exhausted body back to Fengde Building, it was almost noon.
"Zhao Xuan..." His teeth itched when he thought of the name. After the guy intercepted Yu Heng and himself near the robbery cave, he escorted the two of them to the Yamen execution room for a tour, and forced them to write down accusations.
Let them go.
"Aren't you her superior? Use your official position to coerce her!" While gritting his teeth to express his guilt, he suggested to Yu Heng in a low voice.
Yu Heng could only grin bitterly: "We are not the same, I can't suppress her... and it is indeed illegal to rob tombs and find gold. It is her duty to arrest us, so I have nothing to say."
It would be too easy for the two of them to escape, but that would be equivalent to becoming a fugitive. At least Jiang Du would not be able to stay any longer. So Zhou Shi could only give up the idea.
Fortunately, Zhao Xuan obviously just wanted to use this incident to suppress Yu Heng's prestige. It was probably because he was kept in the dark and pursued Yu Heng for three months, and finally found out that the other party was a colleague. The arrest of Zhou Shi was purely a matter of convenience.
So after they visited the various torture instruments in the torture room and wrote down the indictment, she did not embarrass them any more and allowed them to leave.
Zhou Shi and Yu Heng agreed on a time to meet again, and went their separate ways after walking out of the Yamen. Zhou Shi tightened his baggage and went to Yichun Garden first.
There were four treasures he pulled out from the tomb this time. Due to their large size and heavy weight, his baggage was almost bursting, causing passers-by to turn around frequently when walking on the road. After thinking about it, he felt that his room was really not a hidden place.
The best place to go is to ask Mrs. Hu to look after it first.
He also had other small thoughts in doing this: he still had some use for the money from reselling the treasure. If Mr. Mo found out, it would be difficult to guarantee that it would not be charged to the Yinhun Inn, which has almost no financial resources.
This time, his clothes were quite intact, only stained with some mud, so he could enter through the front door with confidence. It was already lunch time, and Xu Xianghai and several regular customers saw the shopkeeper returning and hurriedly called him to come to the table to talk.
"Shopkeeper, I heard that the curfew is going to be lifted?"
Restaurants are well-informed places where scholars, farmers, and businessmen all come and go, so they all like to inquire about various news in Jiangdu City with Zhou Shi. However, Zhou Shi is always cautious and never says anything that he is not sure of.
"Should, should..."
"Hey, then you can come and drink in the evening!" A customer who works in a drug store said with a smile, "I can't go out at night, and I don't dare to drink at noon, but it's killing me!"
Zhou Shi chatted with them for a while, asked the waiter to entertain them, and then returned to the room to change clothes. As soon as he put on clean clothes, Agui barged in and said:
"Shopkeeper, there's a fight outside!"
"What's going on?"
Agui either just came out of the kitchen, or he was in a hurry, and he was sweating all over. "I'm here to see the boss, please go out and have a look!"
Zhu Benchu!
Zhou Shi regained his energy, and the time bomb of the mysterious dragon was showing its signs!
He was about to rush out. After thinking about it, he changed his new clothes into dirty clothes that had been beaten in the tomb, and then rushed into the front hall with Agui.
"There were about a dozen hooligans who came to make trouble. When they came in, they went over the counter and said that the big boss owed them gambling debts... Two guys went to stop them, but they started to beat them. They were so vicious! Now I'm afraid..."
When Agui introduced the situation, Zhou Shi had already stepped into the front hall and shouted: "Who dares to be in Feng... eh?"
He took a closer look and realized that the scene in the store was completely different from what he had imagined.
I saw that most of the tables and chairs in the store were overturned, and the customers had already fled. It can be seen that a fight did occur here.
But the initiator of this fight, a dozen strong young men in colorful clothes, were rubbing various parts of their bodies while struggling to hold up tables and chairs.
Three strong men were sitting on a bench across the door, shouting and directing the gangsters to work.
"You guys, please be gentle! Don't damage the things in the store! Over there, be quick with your movements, or you won't be able to lift your other hand... Shopkeeper Zhou!"
Seeing Zhou Shi step into the front hall, the three of them stood up together, cupped their fists and saluted Zhou Shi.
Zhou Shi looked around the store and found two thin iron chains with hooks on the ground and an iron weight tied to the iron chain. They were both murder weapons carried by thugs watching the scene. It seemed that they were these three men of unknown origin.
Killed fifteen gangsters with their bare hands.
And these people... look a bit familiar.
"Are these guys the masters of the martial arts school?"
"Exactly!" the man standing in the middle said with his fists in his hands, "I am Xiong Quan, who opened the Bagua Zhang store in Jiangdu. These two are also colleagues in the martial arts practice. We have met Shopkeeper Zhou in the Hong Boxing Gym."
The man on the left side of Xiong Quan said: "We followed Shopkeeper Zhou all the way to Fengde Building..."
Xiong Quan raised his foot and gave his calf a slap, abruptly interrupted his words, and said with a smile: "We came to see Shopkeeper Zhou for something, and we happened to encounter these scoundrels looking for trouble, so we took action rashly and destroyed the store.
Please forgive me for the things inside."
"No, no, no, thank you for your help." Zhou Shi answered with clasped fists and a cry of sadness in his heart: These three people obviously followed me all the way. They saw me walking into Yichun Garden carrying a bag, but when I came out, my hands were empty...<
/p>
He knew exactly what associations this would evoke.
"Guys, please wait in the backyard. I'll ask why these people are here." Zhou Shi calmed down and said to the martial arts masters.
"Okay, the shopkeeper will be busy first." Xiong Quan led his two colleagues into the backyard. As soon as the curtain fell, Zhou Shi, who has sensitive senses, heard "You can eat but not say anything" and "Seeing is not necessarily believing."
Words like "The shopkeeper is not that kind of person" and "It doesn't hurt to be more romantic" floated out.
But he had no time to think about anything else. He walked straight up to a few gangsters, his face sank, and he said:
"Who sent you?"
Several scoundrels looked at each other, and one of them, a young man in floral clothes with disheveled hair, said: "Your boss owes our boss money, let us get it ourselves."
"Oh? Who is your boss? Who is our boss?"
When the man in calico clothes saw that Zhou Shi had a young face and a long but thin figure, he immediately lost his submissiveness and turned to speak loudly:
"Our boss is the 'Sangmen Huan' in Jiangdu City, and your boss is Zhu Benchu from Fengde Building. The man surnamed Zhu owes eleven taels of gambling debt. Bring the money quickly, and we won't embarrass you."<
/p>
Happy family... This nickname makes you filial as soon as you hear it.
Zhou Shi looked indifferent and said: "You went to him to claim the debt owed by Zhu Benchu. What does it have to do with Fengde Tower?"
Huabu Yishang was delighted: "Isn't this Fengde Building his property? You are a shopkeeper, do you want to monopolize the master's money chest? If this spreads out, I'm afraid you won't be able to survive in Jiangdu, right?"
Zhou Shi smiled and said: "Did you know that there are two owners of Fengde Building? The property of Fengde Building does not belong to Zhu Benchu alone, so why should he use Fengde Building to pay off his debts?"
"Hey, brothers, we encountered a lawsuit today! Even if Zhu Benchu only has 10% of his property, it is still someone else's asset. Why can't it be used to pay off debts?"
"Because of this."
With that said, Zhou Shi took out two pieces of paper from under the counter and photographed them on the counter.
"Look carefully, this is the will of the old employer. It clearly says, 'Fengde House is owned by two brothers. The use of the money and house must be negotiated by the brothers and reported to the shopkeeper before they can be spent.' And this one," Zhou
Shi hit the newer piece of paper and said, "This is the contract between the second owner Zhu Benshan and me. He has entrusted me with all matters in the store, which is equivalent to me fulfilling the responsibilities of one of the second owners."
As long as I don't nod, it will be impossible for Fengde Building to pay the bill."
Seeing that all the gangsters were stunned for a moment, he added: "If you are not convinced, you might as well go to the Yamen to sue him. I have my own ideas. Can you go?"
Does that need to be said? Casinos never lend money in accordance with the law. They are basically loan sharks. They rely on the power of one person to get debts. The other party cannot afford to lose this person when betting, and the debtor is still in their hands.
ri.
But these are not problems in Zhou Shi's eyes. He has already insured the time bomb of Zhu Benchu. As long as he takes down Zhu Benshan and wins the decision-making power, and has the will of his old club in hand, the prodigal son will be impossible.
Sell the assets of Fengde Building.
Oh, I spent a lot of effort to get Zhu Benshan...but the hard work always pays off.
As for worrying about moneylenders harming Zhu Benchu? It doesn't exist. Zhou Shi hopes that the casino will fix him. It's best to be like Zhu Benshan at that time, the kind that can't get out of bed for half a month. This can make the prodigal son calm down for a while, and maybe it can last a long time.
Long memory.
"Since you don't want to report to the government, please go back first. Although my eldest boss is penniless and has no education or skills, he always has strength. Your boss can try to arrange some menial work for him to do first. If you can't guarantee everything,
If you can become a little boss Dangdang, then you will be a family, won't this debt be settled?"
