Chapter 50 - A Sap

”Come come come, buy big open, sell small open small ah …” ”Kid, if you don't bet, then scram to the side. Don't delay others from placing their bets …”

”Done …” Four Five Six, Big... ”The manor has won …”

In the smoky hall, there were heads all over the place. Under the candlelight, their shiny foreheads shone with a different light. On the brick bed in the corner, four or five smoking men were lying on their sides. A few old prostitutes, who were half-hidden from the public, were busy lighting up their drinks.

This was the most famous casino in the Yi County. However, he was standing next to the brick bed with a smile on his face and was very polite to a smoker.

”Aiya, Eunuch Zheng coming to my place to play is to give me face. Whatever benefits you have, just give them to me, and even if it's nothing, I will still take advantage of you, right? What do you think... ”Someone, burn another bubble for this eunuch …”

The one who was lying on the brick bed was the beaten Eunuch Zheng. After raising this guy for three days, he was finally able to leave the house, and the bruises on his face that Xiao Letian had beaten up had mostly vanished. Only the corner of his left eye was still that light.

Eunuch Zheng loved to gamble money. This was not a secret, in the Forbidden City, Eunuch Zheng was just a bad gambler. However, there were rules and regulations in the Imperial City, and even if he wanted to play, he would not be able to enjoy it. This time, he had spent money to bribe the Chief Steward.

”leopard head, I've lost a lot of money by staying here for the past ten days. Just looking for you to exchange me for more than two hundred silver taels …” ”Fuck, I don't know where you guys got so much money from, but you guys are even more generous than a fucking Beijing …”

”You want me to go down now? Do you really have to dig out all of this oil in this lord's pocket? ”Brat, your heart is really dark …”

leopard head laughed like a flower, and went down one thousand, ”Look at what grandpa said, who doesn't know that eunuch is the rich person of the capital, do you know whether he will win or lose? ”I don't need to rub the sand in my eyes. Tonight, I can see that your restaurant is shining and must be possessed by the God of Fortune. If I were to play a few more games, you would definitely go on a killing spree …”

Eunuch Zheng couldn't help but flatter leopard head as he slapped his thigh, ”Enough! ”Once I've finished this bubble, bring me another hundred yuan. I'll try my luck …”

Since ancient times, bets were not separated from the family, and eunuchs had lost their lifeline, it was impossible for them to fool around with women. Thus, they were exceptionally fond of gambling and poison. In late Qing, eunuchs betting money to smoke big cigarettes was more popular than officials and citizens.

Indeed, the bullshit from the gambling den was hard to listen to. It hadn't even been two hours and Eunuch Zheng had already lost his hundred silver taels. Eunuch Zheng sighed as he knew that he was unlucky today. He no longer listened to leopard head's nonsense and returned to the tavern with a young eunuch by his side.

And at this time, the leopard head was not as polite as before, ”I say Eunuch Zheng, you owe me a total of 300 silver taels, although I am not in a hurry to ask you for the interest, you have to return the money right?”

”Aiyo!” Little bastard, you want to play with me? You want to return the money you just borrowed? There was no such rule in the casinos of this world? ”Just you wait, I'll be free soon …”

”Ai ai ai!” Master Zheng, you are in the wrong. You can refuse to return the one hundred yuan today, but what about the two hundred yuan from a few days ago? ”There has to be a way …”

”Pah!” Before leopard head could finish his sentence, there was a crisp sound of a slap. The old eunuch then gave the casino a resounding slap, causing the entire casino to fall deathly silent. You want money? [I will give it to you. Do you really think that I don't have any money?] Take it to my inn tomorrow... ”But let me tell you, if this grandpa gets angry, it won't end well. This old man will let the yamen plunder your dog kennel …”

Eunuch Zheng was looking down on this group of country leopards. Even the three great gambling houses in Beijing did not dare to ask this of me for money, which one of them was not well-behaved and polite? Do you really think that you can ride on the heads of the people in the palace in this crappy little place with no knowledge of the world?

Seeing the old eunuch leaving, leopard head was so angry that his face had even turned purple. He signalled the door with his eyes, and saw that four or five figures had already quietly followed him out of the darkness.

”I'm watching the scenery on the city wall, and I can hear the commotion outside the city …” ”I was originally a person who laid low and scattered. I relied on my yin and yang energy to keep the world safe …” With the support of a young eunuch, Eunuch Zheng walked while singing a melodramatic tune. Along the way, he had frightened countless wild cats and wild dogs, causing a lot of noise in the middle of the night.

Just as the dim lantern light turned the corner of the street, several dark figures suddenly charged over like tigers. The weak eunuch didn't even have the time to shout when his mouth was covered by a rag and his hands were tightly tied.

Just as the old gaffer was about to groan in fear, two figures walked out of the darkness. When they walked to the Eunuch Zheng in front of them, they discovered that the two were actually Xiao Letian and Hairy # 2.

At that time, the old eunuch was so scared that his back was completely wet. He was crying out like a dog, and his eyes were full of pleading. Although he was arrogant, he was not an idiot. With a single glance, it was clear that he wanted to kill someone. At that time, the old dog had already wet himself from the fear.

”Er Mao, look, this is the old dog that you're afraid of. It was so fierce when it hit you the day before yesterday!” Looking back at today, his eyes were filled with fear. He's afraid. He's afraid of you … ” Xiao Letian couldn't be bothered to look at the two corpses on the ground and only kindly stared at Hairy # 14 who was around 14 years old.

”He's afraid of me?” Hairy # 2's legs were trembling, and the wound still hurt a little. The scenes of the beating he received the day before yesterday still played in his mind. He was, after all, a child. How could he not be traumatized by such a serious injury?

”Of course I'm afraid of you. Because right now, you have the power to decide his life and death …” After saying that, Xiao Letian took out a jujube stick that was a meter long and as thick as an infant's arm from his back.

Xiao Letian shoved the stick into Hairy # 2's hands. ”Here! ”This is the power he's afraid of …”

Jujube is a common hard wood in northern China, often used in furniture making. If this kind of hard wood that is full of woody tumors were to hit a person's body, it would definitely result in broken bones and broken tendons.
