"Come on, come on, buy big and open big, sell small and open small... If you don't want to bet, go away, don't delay others from placing bets..."
"Place your bet...four, five, six, big...the banker wins..."
In the smoky hall, heads were crowded everywhere, and their shiny foreheads shone with a different kind of light in the candlelight. On the big kang in the corner, four or five heavy smokers were lying on their sides, and a few old prostitutes with the door ajar were busy giving them some drinks.
This is the most famous gambling hall in Yi County. People who watch the casino call it Leopard Head, and he has the most hot temper. But today, he was standing by the big kang and was very polite to a heavy smoker with a smile on his face.
"Oh, if Eunuch Zheng can come to my place to play, you are giving me face. You can reward me at will, whether it's good or bad. Even if you don't get a cent, haven't you guys still got a share of your nobility? You said Yes... Come here, make another bubble for father-in-law..."
Lying on his side on the kang was Eunuch Zheng who had been beaten. After raising him for three days, this eunuch was finally able to go out. The bruises on his face that Xiao Letian gave him were mostly gone. Only the corner of his left eye was still there. A light piece.
It's no secret that Eunuch Zheng loves to gamble. In the Forbidden City, Eunuch Zheng was a bad gambler. He lost all his monthly money in just two days. But the imperial city is a place with rules after all, and even if you play, you won't have a lot of fun. This time, he spent money to bribe the steward to get such a good job out of the palace. How could he not have a good time?
"Leopard Head, I've lost a lot of money with you in the past ten days or so. I only exchanged money with you for no less than two hundred yuan... Damn it, I don't know where you got such money from. That’s a lot of foreign money, and it’s richer than fucking Beijing…”
"You want me to end now? Do you have to take out all the oil and water in my pocket? You have a dark heart..."
The leopard head smiled like a flower, and went down for one thousand. "Look, what I said, who doesn't know that my father-in-law is a rich man in the capital, do you still care about winning or losing? I don't care about the sand in my eyes." , I see you are shining brightly tonight, you must be possessed by the God of Wealth, if you play two more games you will definitely kill everyone..."
Eunuch Zheng couldn't resist the flattery of Leopard Head and slapped his thigh, "Come on! I'm done with this one. You can give me another hundred yuan and I'll try my luck again..."
Since ancient times, pornography, gambling, and drugs have not separated families, and eunuchs have no lifeblood, and they will definitely not be able to play with women, so they are particularly fond of gambling and drugs. In the late Qing Dynasty, it was far more popular for eunuchs to gamble and smoke cigarettes than for officials and civilians. Once Eunuch Zheng and his wife enjoyed a good time smoking, they forgot about their bad luck.
Sure enough, you can't listen to nonsense in the casino. Not even an hour later, the hundred silver dollars borrowed by Eunuch Zheng were lost to the casino again. The sighing Eunuch Zheng knew that he was having a bad day and would no longer listen to Leopard Head's lies. He was prepared to go back to the inn with a young eunuch waiting on him.
But at this time, Leopard Head was not as polite as before. "Let me tell you, Eunuch Zheng, you owe a total of three hundred dollars these days. Although I am not in a hurry to ask you for the interest, you still have to pay me back the capital, right?"
"Ouch! You little bastard, are you playing this trick with me? You want to get back the money you just borrowed? There are no such rules in the world's casinos? Just wait, I'll be relieved..."
"Hey, hey! Master Zheng, you are wrong. You don't have to pay back the hundred yuan today, but what about the two hundred yuan a few days ago? There must be an explanation..."
Before Leopard Head could finish speaking, there was just a snapping sound, and the old castrate came up with a loud mouth, causing the whole casino to fall silent. "You want money? I will reward you with something that looks down upon others. Do you really think that I have no money? Go to my inn tomorrow to get it... But I can tell you, it will not be as good for you if you make me anxious. Eat, I asked the Yamen to confiscate this doghouse of yours..."
Eunuch Zheng half-closed his eyes and looked down upon these country leopards. None of the three major gambling bureaus in Beijing would dare to ask for money from me like this. Which one of them is not polite and courteous? In this little shabby place, with little knowledge, do you really think you can ride on the head of the palace people?
Seeing the old eunuch walking away, Leopard's face turned purple with anger. He winked at the door, and four or five figures in the darkness followed him quietly.
"I was watching the mountain scenery from the city tower, and I heard the commotion outside the city... I am originally from Wollongong, and I rely on yin and yang to protect the world..." Eunuch Zheng, supported by the little eunuch, sang as he walked. The excerpts were off-key, and I didn’t know how many wild cats and dogs were frightened along the way. It was so noisy that the whole night was not peaceful.
Just as the dim lantern light turned around the corner, suddenly several figures in the darkness rushed over like tigers. Before the frail eunuch could even shout, his mouth was gagged with rags, and his hands were tied tightly. got up. Please come to more and faster chapters.
Just as the old eunuch screamed in fear, two figures, one tall and one short, walked out of the darkness. When he got closer, Eunuch Zheng realized that the two figures were actually Xiao Letian and Er Mao.
The old gelding was so frightened that his back was completely wet. He was barking like a dog, with a pleading look in his eyes. Although he was arrogant, he was not stupid. When he saw the posture he was in today, he was going to kill someone. At that time, the old dog was so frightened that he was so frightened that he felt a sultry air in his crotch.
"Er Mao, look at it. This is the old dog you are afraid of. He was so fierce when he beat you the day before yesterday! Look at today, his eyes are full of fear. He is afraid, he is afraid of you..." Xiao Letian said He was too lazy to look at the two dead people on the ground, and just stared at the fourteen-year-old Er Mao kindly.
"Is he afraid of me?" Ermao's legs were shaking a little, and the wound still hurt a little. The scene of the beating the day before yesterday was still echoing in front of his eyes. After all, he is a child. How could his heart not be traumatized after being so seriously injured?
"Of course I'm afraid of you, because now you have the power to decide his life or death..." After saying that, Xiao Letian took out a jujube wood stick one meter long and as thick as a baby's arm from his back. hand.
Xiao Letian put the stick into Er Mao's hand, "Here! This is the power he is afraid of..."
Jujube wood is a common hardwood in northern China and is often used in furniture making. Once this hardwood stick covered with wood knots hits a person, the result will definitely be broken bones and tendons.
Eunuch Zheng was so frightened that he cried, and his urine was flowing down. He actually struggled and knelt down in front of Er Mao, and he hummed in his mouth, which seemed to be begging for mercy.
"Good boy, think about it. Your mother almost died. Wasn't it because of this bastard? And wasn't it also because of this old dog that you were beaten? Did he listen to your plea at that time? Has he ever been soft-hearted..."
"Think about it again, if your mother had an accident the day before yesterday, would your bedridden father still be alive? Your family of three would be completely ruined..."
Xiao Letian has now transformed into a bewitching devil. He has planted the seeds of hatred in the heart of young Ermao.
"My child, you have to face reality. You have been castrated by Xiaodao Liu now. You can no longer live in your hometown. Your friends will dislike you, your relatives will hate you, and even the villagers will think that You are an unknown person, you can’t even enter the ancestral hall, let alone study..."
"Now there is only one way in front of you, which is to enter the palace, start as a little eunuch, and gradually reach the top, and I will protect you behind you, take care of your family, and give you all kinds of support……"
"But you have to understand that this old dog is the first stumbling block in your life. When you fall into his hands after entering the palace, you will definitely be tortured to death by him. Please come to more and faster chapters. My child , do you really want him to torture you to death?"
The more Xiao Letian talked, the more frightened Er Mao became. He couldn't imagine facing Eunuch Zheng alone. He was scared in his heart. Xiao Le naively wanted to slap himself in the face. He felt that he was very immoral and bad.
But Xiao Letian didn't regret what he did at all, because he knew that the environment Er Mao would face in the future would be a cannibalistic hell. There was no family or friendship between eunuchs, and those psychopaths were like a pack of wolves who bit each other.
If Er Mao wants to live and be a person who is not bullied, he must turn himself into a wolf from now on.
"Did you see the back of his mind? Hold the stick tightly and hit it hard. Remember this man is an executioner. He killed many children like you. You are doing justice for God. You are doing good. …”
Xiao Letian grabbed Er Mao's collar and shook it hard, "Be strong. You have to be strong for your parents. Protect your family like a hero. Don't let anyone beat your poor mother again..."
"Ah!" Ermao finally broke out. He picked up the jujube stick and hit Eunuch Zheng on the back of his head. There was just a snapping sound, and the knot on the heavy jujube stick hit him. The old castrate's eyes turned white and he fainted immediately.
Er Mao's eyes were bright red. He looked at the other eunuch and said through gritted teeth, "And you, you are the one who kicked and beat my mother the most viciously..." After saying that, he hit the stick again, this time like a hoe. Like a hoe, the stick hit the little eunuch hard on the head.
Er Mao was definitely losing his mind. He picked up the wooden stick and wanted to hit him again, but Xiao Letian snatched it away. Then he held him in his arms and comforted him, "Good boy, that's enough. You've done enough." Damn it..." Er Mao burst into tears after hearing this.
Xiao Letian hoped that Er Mao would be brave and strong, but he didn't want this child to become a pervert, so the child must not be allowed to kill people.
"Where's the leopard head?" Xiao Letian held the child and continued to give orders. In the shadows, the leopard head in the casino walked over quickly and knelt in front of Xiao Letian, waiting for orders.
"You take this case on your back. We will withdraw later. You can punch a few more punches without killing anyone. Just hit them stupid... The head catcher Wang Hu will come to patrol the night in a while. You and he will put on a good show and put the case into perspective." Make it clear. Then you can go back to Taibaiding and hide..."
After hearing what he said, Leopard Head kowtowed and stood up and walked back into the shadows. Then came the order to Sima Yun, "Take one hundred thousand eagle oceans and deliver them to Chun Shisanniang in the capital. From today on, her main task is to bribe the eunuchs in the palace..."
"When Ermao comes to Beijing, let Thirteenth Niang take care of him. First, rely on connections to send the child to Prince Gong's Mansion. He will learn to read and read first, and slowly gain qualifications. Don't throw him into the palace all at once."
Xiao Letian rubbed Er Mao's head and said distressedly, "What kind of bullshit world is this? A child at such a young age is still old enough to act like a spoiled child, yet his body is mutilated and sent to be a slave... When I come to power,... Abolish the eunuch system..."
Speaking of this, Xiao Letian suddenly remembered something. In his impression, Li Lianying, the eunuch named in the late Qing Dynasty, seemed not to be favored yet. If he wanted to make friends, now would be an opportunity.
"Sima Yun, go back and tell Chun Shisanniang that there should be a eunuch named Li under An Dehai in the palace now. Prince Zheng recommended him to the palace. He seems to be named Li Lianying. This person is worth buying. Don't worry about money..."
After finishing all the finishing work, Xiao Letian carried the crying Er Mao back and said, "Er Mao, don't worry. I've hired the best doctor to treat your parents. Don't worry. I'll give it to you later." Your parents are looking for something to do, so you don’t have to worry about things at home..."
After Xiao Letian and the others disappeared into the darkness, the sound of night watch gongs rang out in a short while on the long street, waking up all the sleeping people around them.
"What are you looking at! My Leopard Head is responsible for all the work. This old bastard still hasn't paid back the money he owes me. Even if I don't kill him, his life will be in danger..." This was Leopard Head's provocation.
"Wow! You are a bold maniac who even dares to harm the father-in-law who is serving in the palace. Come on, come on, you and I will fight San Lily..." Oops, the head catcher Wang Hu is not good at acting at first glance. This line is so fake. .
This was the second time that the people on the long street saw the head-catcher King Hu showing off his power, and they all clapped and applauded. As for the two eunuchs who had been beaten stupid, they were forgotten by everyone and lay in the corner without anyone caring about them.
