Niu Gao. This name is too familiar to Li Qi, a loyal fan of Yue Fei, but the big man in front of him is the Niu Gao he knows well. This has yet to be verified. After all, the Niu Gao Li Qi knows well is not someone who gets angry easily.
gambler.
Seeing Li Qi suddenly stop, Butler Hong asked, "Master Li, what's the matter?"
Li Qi smiled slightly and said: "Butler Hong, please wait a little longer. I want to see the excitement before going."
"Yes, yes, I'm the first to hear about people who throw pots with their eyes closed. It's not too late to go and check it out. Anyway, my dad may not have gotten up yet." Hong Tianjiu chuckled.
Butler Hong glanced at Hong Tianjiu slightly, shook his head and sighed. He knew the young master's temperament very well. He stood aside in silence, but Li Qi's sudden change made him feel a little confused.
There seemed to be a deadlock on the other end. One wanted money, but the other refused to give it. Although there were many people watching, no one dared to come forward to persuade him because of the fierce appearance of the big man.
"You little guy, give me the money quickly, or you won't blame Grandpa Niu for being rude." The big man seemed to be impatient. He grabbed the man's collar with one hand and raised his fist, which was bigger than a casserole.
When the man saw the fist, he almost fainted with fright. He was trembling all over and said, "I have no money."
"you."
The big Han Leopard stared, and suddenly heard a shout from beside him, "Stop."
The big man turned around and saw an idle man, shouting: "Where did you come from?"
After hearing this, Li Qi frowned and asked, "Steward Hong, have you seen this big man?"
Butler Hong shook his head and said, "This is also my first time meeting this person."
"You are so rude, you don't even look at what kind of place this is, and you dare to act wild here. If you come to gamble, just gamble for me honestly. If you want to make trouble, just get out and make trouble."
The idle man was furious and pointed at him and ordered.
The big man snorted coldly: "If I don't go out, what can you do to me?"
"I think you are here to cause trouble, come here. Blow this rogue out." The idle man gave the order. More than ten men with sticks rushed out from all directions and surrounded the big man.
live.
Sweat! Where did these people come from?
Li Qi glanced at Butler Hong and saw his calm face. He secretly admired this man for not being alarmed when things happened. He was indeed a talent. Zuixianju is missing such a person now. If Xiaoyu can be like him in the future, then
alright.
It was so lively now, and everyone who wanted to gamble came forward to watch the fun.
The big man was surrounded by more than ten people. He was not timid at all. Instead, he sneered: "You guys, even if you want Grandpa Niu to move his tibia, I'm afraid it's not enough."
These words made the idle man angry. He waved his hand and said, "Fuck me."
"Wait a minute."
Li Qi suddenly raised his hand and shouted.
Everyone turned their attention to Li Qi, and many of them knew Li Qi, and they whispered, the excitement was getting better and better.
Hong Tianjiu and Butler Hong were both stunned, looking at Li Qi in surprise.
"Everyone, please calm down and listen to what I'm going to say next." Li Qi walked over and said with a slight smile.
Although the idle man didn't know Li Qi, he had just heard from Butler Hong that this man was their master's distinguished guest. He was at a loss at the moment and could only look at Butler Hong for help.
Butler Hong just waved his hand slightly, signaling for him to evacuate the people.
After the idle man received the order, he immediately shouted: "Everyone, please go down."
That group of walk-ons immediately disappeared into the gambling house. It was really amazing.
Li Qi stepped forward, pointed at the man who was almost peeing with fear, and said: "Brother, I see you have been holding him for almost a stick of incense. Aren't you tired, or are you afraid that he will run away?
"
"Am I afraid that he will run away?"
The big man snorted, pushed the man gently, and with a bang, the man leaned against the wall and slowly sat down. His eyes were a little dazed, and it looked like he was very frightened just now. The big man moved toward him again.
Li Qidao: "Who are you?"
Li Qi smiled slightly and said: "I am the cook of Zuixianju, Li Qi."
The big man seemed to have heard of Li Qi's name, and said: "Oh, I've heard of you. It's your stinky tofu that stinks the whole city of Bianjing. But the things in your store are too expensive, so I don't dare to go there.
.”
Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard that this big man was so straightforward.
Li Qi chuckled and said: "If you plan to come and have a meal at a small shop for the ten dollars, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it as you wish, because you won't get the ten dollars back."
"Are you the helper this guy called for?" The big man frowned.
Li Qi shook his head and said: "I have never met him."
The big man asked doubtfully: "Then why do you say that?"
Li Qi smiled, pointed at the man sitting on the ground, and said: "Look at him, he is dressed in shabby clothes, his eyes are dull, his hall is dark, and he looks unlucky. He must have fought hard here last night, and he also
He has lost everything, let alone ten coins. I don’t think he can even get ten coins. Even if you kill him, he won’t be able to get ten coins to give you."
The big man glanced at the man fiercely, frowned, and seemed to think that what Li Qi said made sense, and shouted: "So what should I do based on what you said?"
Li Qi chuckled and said: "I think you are losing your mind and want to get your money back. Let's do this. I will give you some money personally and let you try your luck again. That's it. What do you think?"
"Always money?"
The big man snorted and said: "It's too little, at least ten guan."
Sweating! You must be too happy.
Li Qi felt angry and funny. Hong Tianjiu on the side couldn't hold it anymore and said: "You are so ignorant. My elder brother is kind enough to help you, but you are still so rude. Do you really think that I am Hong Wan?"
Gambling houses are easy to bully."
The big man shouted: "What's going on with Hongwan Gambling House? If I hadn't been waiting for this money to save my life, I wouldn't have come to this stupid place like yours."
Hong Tianjiu had never been treated like this before, and he was still in his own territory. He rolled up his sleeves and was ready to fight. When Li Qi saw him, he hurriedly stopped him, then smiled at the big man and said, "I don't know what the strong man's name is?"
The big man patted his chest and said, "I won't change my name when I'm walking, and I won't change my surname when I sit down. My last name is Niu, and my last name is Gao."
Li Qi nodded and said, "Okay, I'll give you ten coins."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience was stunned. Ten pieces of money was really too much for them. It was regarded as their salary for several months, and the cook didn't even say a word, but gave others ten pieces of money.
Guanqian. And it’s someone I don’t know, which is really confusing.
Niu Gao was also stunned. He was just talking casually, but he never thought that Li Qi actually agreed. He subconsciously said: "Why do you want to give me money?"
Li Qi smiled and said, "Don't ask."
"Then I can't take it. You don't owe me anything, so I can't take your money." Niu Gao shook his head.
Li Qi smiled and said: "Okay, just think that I lend you ten thousand dollars, and you will pay me back when you have the money. Didn't you just say you were waiting for the money to save your life? Didn't you just risk your life for such a small amount of self-esteem?"
." After saying that, he took a piece of silver. He handed it over and said, "Is this silver enough?"
Niu Gao stared at the money, hesitated for a while, reached out to take it, and said with a fist, "I borrowed this money from you. When I have money someday, I will pay it back to you."
Li Qi smiled and said: "Easy to say, easy to say."
"Thank you. I have something else to do and I'll leave first."
"please."
Niu Gao clasped his fists again, then walked away and strode outside.
After Niu Gao left, Hong Tianjiu frowned and said dissatisfied: "Brother Li, why did you want to lend him money?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "Just because his name is Niu Gao. This name is worth the money." Then he patted Hong Tianjiu's shoulder again and said with a smile: "Let's go, your father should get up too."
After exiting the back door, walking along a cobblestone path and entering a large door, there is a truly unique place inside. Just as Li Qi imagined, this mansion is really no worse than the Qin Mansion, with green grass and shady trees.
, the air quality is much better than that smelly gambling house, maids and servants walked by in groups, looking like a prosperous scene.
The three of them came to the hall in the front yard. When they saw that there was no one inside, Butler Hong said, "Master Li, please wait a moment. I will go and invite you now."
"Then I'll bother the butler."
Hong Tianjiu really didn't treat Li Qi as an outsider. He sat down on the chair, crossed his legs, took the candied fruit on the table and threw it into his mouth. He said vaguely: "Brother Li, don't stand there all the time. Hurry up."
Sit down, my dad will be here later."
Li Qi San nodded, sat down, and asked curiously: "Xiao Jiu, does your father usually get up at this time?"
"Roughly the same."
Li Qi nodded guiltily, thinking to himself, this gambling king really knows how to enjoy life.
After a while, with a burst of loud laughter, a middle-aged man walked in from outside, about forty years old. Judging from his appearance, he was almost the adult version of Hong Tianjiu, with a fair face, a goatee, and well-dressed
, you can tell at a glance that he is a successful person, so his voice should not be a little hoarse, but it will definitely not sound like he just woke up.
"Where is the descendant Li Qi?"
The man walked in and shouted excitedly.
Li Qi was shocked when he saw this man. The gambling king he imagined should be a reckless man, with a beard and disheveled clothes.
, he never expected to be so handsome and well-dressed, which really surprised him.
"Daddy." Hong Tianjiu stood up and shouted weakly.
This man is Hong Bajin, the big boss of Hongwan Gambling House.
Li Qi was slightly startled, then stood up quickly and said, "Li Qi has met Uncle Hong."
Hong Bajin glanced at Li Qi and said, "Are you Li Qi?"
Li Qi nodded politely.
"You, the cook, look so strange. Why do you look like a woman?"
Damn it! I’m so cool, will you appreciate it?
Li Qi glanced at the man innocently and said, "Uncle Hong is laughing." He handed the basket over again and said with a smile, "My nephew heard that Uncle Hong always likes to eat chicken butts, so he made a special dish.
Chicken butt, it’s a trivial matter, it’s disrespectful.”
When Hong Bajin heard the chicken butt, his eyes flashed, and he laughed and said: "The members give gifts and the cooks give food. It's interesting. It's interesting." As he said that, he couldn't wait to open the basket, and the strange smell came out immediately.
.
Hong Tianjiu jumped back, covered his nose and said, "Wow! It smells so bad."
Hong Bajin stared at the strings of chicken butts in the basket and said: "What do you know, you kid? Go away. Tsk, tsk, these chicken butts are plump and juicy. You can tell at a glance that they are the best."
At this moment, another voice suddenly came from outside, "Wow wow wow, what is it? It smells so good."
Before he finished speaking, an old man with white hair and beard ran in.
