Late at night, a two-horse carriage drove out of the city lord's mansion.
"drive!"
The driver raised his whip and slapped the horse on the butt. The horse was in pain and ran wildly.
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 some attention to the City Lord's Mansion will be able to 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 was Qi Yoyo and her personal maid Dongmei who were 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 his 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 last time, just because the second young master of the Wei family glanced at you too much, he was dragged up by the second young master. 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, 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 don't delay the business. Blind uncle, hurry up, don't miss the exciting show."
"Okay." The one-eyed old 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 passion.
But what's the result?
The atmosphere was good, but instead of being full of passion, the whole place was angry and scolding, which caused great damage to the reputation of the boxing ring.
What made Wang Tienan grit his teeth the most was that the boxing ring was doing a loss-making business despite being scolded all over the place. The chief financial officer just 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. 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.
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 understands Zhu Zizhen. If it was Zhu Zizhen's fault, he would never place a bet of only 5,000 taels. It would have to start at least 5,000 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 pieces 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 to win four games in a row, 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 placing bets 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.
"Reporting to the young master, not yet." The subordinate reported back.
"It's been a long time since we've been able to handle a small matter, and we're just a bunch of losers." Wang Tienan cursed angrily.
"Sir, Dong Zhongshan has won." 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 said he didn't know, but he got punched by Zhang Xiaopou for no reason. But he said there are two things for sure. First, Zhang Xiaopou's momentum is very suppressive; second, Zhang Xiaopou's strength is extremely strong. It’s so big that it’s beyond the reach of ordinary people.”
Wang Tienan frowned, he knew Dong Zhongshan's strength best, but he actually said that he lost inexplicably, 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 twenty thousand taels. If he wins again with high odds, it will be too much.
"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.
"Let's go to the next round--" Wang Tienan was about to order 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 expected 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 worried about this matter. I hope that my dear brother will not hesitate to give me some advice."
"Hmph." Wei Zizi snorted coldly, knowing he was displeased: "This boy is a boxer trained by Zhu Zixuan. He came to the boxing ring today to get your money from Brother Black King."
"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.
Seeing that his words were correct and his voice was vibrating, Wang Tienan was immediately convinced.
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 if the wise brother has any clever tricks?"
"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 will it be delayed? 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.
"I'll give the order right away."
