After hearing the word "Golden Ticket" from shopkeeper Lu, the entire private room suddenly became quiet. Everyone was stunned on the spot. Within a short period of time, no one spoke.
Zhou Yiming and the other brawny men didn't know what the word "Golden Ticket" meant. They just saw Shopkeeper Lu's serious face, so they guessed that what he said must be important.
Manager Li has been working as an errand in a bank for many years. Although his business ability has never been as good as that of Shopkeeper Lu, he is studious by nature and is quite familiar with all kinds of knowledge in this industry.
The golden ticket that shopkeeper Lu just mentioned is actually, to put it bluntly, a type of banknote. However, this kind of banknote is very rare compared with ordinary banknotes.
The reason why this kind of bank note is so rare is that there is only one bank in the entire Chu Kingdom that can issue this kind of bank note, and the real boss behind this bank is the royal family.
As a bank with a royal background, it is conceivable that its customers are all dignitaries, and ordinary people do not receive them at all.
Moreover, if ordinary dignitaries go to do business here, if the amount of deposits and withdrawals does not reach 100,000 taels, this bank will not issue a golden ticket to you.
It is precisely because of these two harsh conditions that there are only a handful of golden tickets circulating in the market. Ordinary people, let alone seeing them, may never even hear the word golden tickets in their entire lives.
When Manager Li heard the word "gold ticket", he knew in his heart that he was finished, because he understood that shopkeeper Lu did not dare to joke about this kind of thing. If the bank note in his hand was fake and he forcefully said that it was a golden ticket, It will cause yourself huge trouble.
Realizing the seriousness of the problem, Manager Li did not intend to give up. He stepped back and shouted: "Shopkeeper Lu, the story you made up is very beautiful, but I tell you, this is impossible!
What a precious thing a golden ticket is. Look at the lowlife in front of you. Do you think it is reasonable for such a person to have such a thing in his hand? "
The group of strong men who fell on the ground were all confused at this time, because they really couldn't understand what Guan Li and Shopkeeper Lu were talking about. They just hoped that what Shopkeeper Lu just said was true. , in that case, they can use Zhou Ming's hand to avenge themselves.
Zhou Yiming stood aside calmly. After listening to the bickering between Shopkeeper Lu and Manager Li, he suddenly realized that the banknote Yang Shijun gave him was not an ordinary thing, but a rare thing. It’s no wonder that damn manager Li just didn’t know the goods.
After understanding this truth, his waist suddenly became straighter. He knew that he had won the bet. In order to prevent Manager Li from jumping over the wall in a hurry, he kept a close eye on this shameless villain, for fear that he would use conspiracy and tricks at the last moment. escape.
"It can't be fake. You can tell if this banknote is real or fake at a glance!" Shopkeeper Lu knew that no matter what he said, Manager Li, who was about to die, would definitely not believe his words, so in desperation, he I could only hold the banknote high and take two steps forward, hoping to get closer so that Manager Li could see clearly.
After seeing the handwriting on the golden ticket, Manager Li's heart sank. He understood that the golden ticket was real. It was impossible for him to save his life through legitimate means. For the current plan, he could only take risks. Come on, give it a try.
He rolled his eyes and immediately had an idea. He pretended to be emotionally stable on the surface, and then pretended to say: "Okay, since you said so, I want to get closer and take a closer look to avoid being caught by you." deceive."
As soon as he finished speaking, Manager Li quickly took two steps forward, and then while shopkeeper Lu was completely unprepared, he suddenly stretched out a hand to snatch the golden ticket.
Before taking action, he had already planned. As long as he successfully snatched the golden ticket, he would immediately stuff it into his mouth, chew it, swallow it, and destroy the evidence. By then, the golden ticket would be gone, even if the truth was revealed on Monday. Over there, he couldn't be cruel to himself openly.
Shopkeeper Lu didn't have as many thoughts as Manager Li, so when he came over, he took no precautions at all.
Only when Manager Li suddenly reached out to grab the golden ticket did Shopkeeper Lu realize that he had fallen into a trap. He quickly retracted his hand to keep the golden ticket in his hand, but it was already too late.
Manager Li grabbed his hand holding the gold ticket with one hand and pulled it back as hard as he could. He beat his arm with the other hand, hoping to force him to let go of the gold ticket with this blow.
Shopkeeper Lu usually lives a life of fine clothing and fine food, and has never experienced any hardship. On ordinary days, even if a mosquito bites him, he will feel uncomfortable for several days, but today he has changed from his usual weak temperament. After being punched several times, he endured the severe pain and held on to the golden ticket without letting go.
He knew in his heart that if this important evidence was taken away, not only would the young man lose the bet, but the banknote of two hundred thousand taels would be destroyed in his own hands. What compensation would he have to pay?
It was precisely because he understood this that he risked his life and struggled with Manager Li. During the struggle, in order not to damage the golden ticket, he even hid the hand holding the golden ticket in his arms. .
When such a scene suddenly appeared, everyone in the private room was unexpected. The strong men were afraid that Shopkeeper Lu would not be able to defeat Manager Li, so they all planned to stand up and go to help him.
But after struggling for a while, they discovered that they had completely lost the ability to help, because when they fought against Zhou Ming just now, although they did not suffer any skin injuries, after being hit by Zhou Ming's powerful vitality, they He had suffered serious internal injuries. At this time, let alone helping, even standing up had become a luxury.
They lay on the ground, each with a very painful expression, because they all knew in their hearts that without outside help, Shopkeeper Lu was no match for Manager Li. If the two of them continued to stalemate like this, Shopkeeper Lu would not be able to hold on for long.
Even if Yi Ming takes action, it will be difficult to solve this problem, because the two people are entangled together, and it is already a difficult problem to separate them, and what's more terrible is that while separating them, they also have to It is simply an impossible task to ensure that the golden ticket is not damaged.
Seeing victory in sight, something unexpected happened at this moment. If the golden ticket was really destroyed, Manager Li would be really confident. After all, by then, even if Zhou Yiming wanted to use force to deal with him, , and it is impossible to make too heavy a move, because once he makes too heavy a move, he himself will pay the price for it.
Thinking of this, the strong men were all in pain, and they were all very scared, because if Manager Li escaped this time, they didn't know how he would retaliate against them in the future.
Zhou Yiming stood aside, with a mysterious smile on his face. When Manager Li just said that he wanted to get closer to the golden ticket and take a closer look, he had already realized that this kid must have no good intentions and just let him What I didn't expect was that a villain like Manager Li would be so brave and dare to blatantly destroy evidence in front of him. This was simply asking for death.
Seeing Shopkeeper Lu desperately protecting the golden ticket for him, Zhou Yiming felt a little moved. He did not immediately separate the two people because he wanted to see how long Shopkeeper Lu's strength could last in this fight.
In the fierce scuffle, shopkeeper Lu soon lost his strength, and his hand holding the golden ticket was about to be broken open by Manager Li.
At this critical moment, Zhou Yiming suddenly took action. As if disciplining a child, he stretched out his two hands and grabbed the arms of Shopkeeper Lu and Manager Li. With just a slight lift, he separated the two of them. .
One second, Manager Li was still dreaming about destroying evidence. The next second, he was thrown far away like garbage. During the whole process, he didn't even see clearly what was happening.
"Ouch, it hurts me to death!" Manager Li grinned in pain as he fell to the ground. He fell to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time.
Shopkeeper Lu was so tired that he was sweating profusely. His body was bruised and bruised. After being rescued by Zhou Yiming, he did not care about his body at the first moment. Instead, he quickly took out his hand and looked at it. See if you still have the golden ticket in your hand.
Seeing that the gold ticket was intact, he breathed a long sigh of relief. He turned around, handed the gold ticket to Zhou Ming intact, and said: "Little brother, your banknote will return to Zhao in good condition. Please keep it well. Don’t lose it.”
Zhou Yiming did not reach out to take the banknote. Instead, he said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Lu, I came to your bank today just to redeem this banknote. Since the banknote is already in your hands, I won't take it back." Okay, so you don’t have to hand it over again later, it’s so troublesome!”
Shopkeeper Lu was stunned for a moment, then nodded noncommittally: "In that case, I will keep it for you for a while."
The strong men lying on the ground nearby saw that Yi Ming had solved the problem in front of them without any effort. While they were happy, they all felt a sense of fear in their hearts, because they all knew in their hearts that this young disciple His strength is really too strong. Fortunately, they reacted quickly enough when they had a conflict with him, otherwise they might have met the King of Hell by now.
Manager Li, who was lying on the ground wailing, realized that the attention of Zhou Yiming and Shopkeeper Lu was not on him. He knew in his heart that this was his last chance to escape. If he missed this opportunity, only death would be waiting for him. One piece.
While wailing, he looked at the door of the private room and found that the door was unlocked. His eyes immediately lit up and he thought, God help me. If this door is locked, I will definitely not be able to escape even if I try my best.
After planning his escape route, while he continued to wail, his body slowly began to move towards the door of the private room. During this movement, he kept paying attention to the movements of Yi Ming and Shopkeeper Lu, for fear that they would find out that he was escaping. the behavior of.
