I promise

Chapter 414

Su Hongyu has a refined and pedantic face, and his figure is still in good shape in middle age.

He is a literati, but he also knows a little self-defense. He has the habit of boxing every day. He has a thin waist and shows no signs of gaining weight.

It's not like a warrior, who connects himself with muscles all over his body, and his body is a little thin, with a little emaciation of a literati.

The light gown was loose and the bearing was impressive. Standing in the middle of a group of burly men, it was very eye-catching.

"It turned out to be the imperial envoy." Zhao Yongyuan smiled and bowed: "I don't know that your honor is coming, and I am far away to welcome you. My lord, please take a seat."

Turning around, he yelled at Zhou Laosan: "If you don't pour tea, it's out of order!"

Zhou Laosan knew that he was the boss, he greeted people with a smile, and stabbed him right.

On the surface, Zhao Yongyuan was polite to Su Hongyu, but in fact he didn't treat him as a dish at all. The so-called pouring tea was actually trying to find an excuse to send him away.

After all, Su Hongyu was also an imperial envoy, so he yelled at the imperial envoy shamelessly, and it would be unreasonable for him to continue to stay.

What if Su Hongyu's head gets hot and he wants to explain to the boss?
That's going to tear your face apart.

Zhou Laosan laughed and said: "Go, go now, boss, don't be angry."

Arching his back and bending his waist, he trotted away.

Su Hongyu couldn't help frowning, with a look of disgust on his face: He is a despicable person in the market!
"There is no need for tea."

Su Hongyu raised his hand impatiently, and said, "I'm here today, and I have a case to ask Boss Zhao to cooperate in questioning. I'll leave after the questioning is clear, and I won't disturb Boss Zhao's business."

"My lord, please tell me."

Su Hongyu said: "Yesterday at noon, my guards captured two thieves who committed crimes in the street. After interrogation, I learned that these two people have been in various gambling houses for many years and have good skills. Three days ago, these two A group of quacks cheated out of your workshop and got a sum of money, is there such a thing?"

Looking around at the crowd of gamblers, Zhao Yongyuan felt a bit embarrassed, and lowered his voice slightly, and said, "It's a shame to say this, but my workshop did lose a sum of money three days ago..."

"Oh?" Su Hongyu didn't want Zhao Yongyuan to admit it so readily, raised his eyebrows and said, "Since it's money fraud, why didn't Boss Zhao report this matter to the government?"

The thugs standing behind Zhao Yongyuan couldn't help being stunned.

This imperial envoy seems to be a pure layman.

The gambling shop business has always been black and white, the comparison is whose fist is harder, whose knife cuts faster, is there any use for reporting to the government?
Zhao Yongyuan said with a smile: "Adults have a lot of time to deal with every day, and they are busy with important things, so how dare you bother with such trivial matters.

It is inevitable to do business if you give up small wealth to avoid catastrophe. "

The words were watertight, even if Su Hongyu wanted to find faults, he couldn't find any faults in him.

After pondering for a moment, he said: "Those two thieves still confessed. Boss Zhao sent someone to send money to those gangsters, and also pointed out a way to tell them that the Kyushu gambling house on the adjacent street is very rich, so let them go there to ask for money. fiscal."

"Nothing." Zhao Yongyuan said seriously: "Who is spreading rumors behind the scenes? I, Zhao, will never do this kind of misfortune and framing my colleagues. If others don't say it, the boss of the Jiuzhou Casino, but My life and death brother."

The corner of Su Hongyu's mouth twitched slightly, knowing that Zhao Yongyuan was full of lies, but he couldn't expose him.

Everyone knows that the Golden Hook Gambling House and the Kyushu Gambling House are competing for profit, and the situation is like fire and water, but Zhao Yongyuan opened his eyes and said that he and the other party are brothers, what can you do to him?
I thought Zhao Yongyuan was gentle and gentle, and he was easier to deal with than the gangster Zhao Laosan, but I didn't expect that he was a slippery loach, which was even more difficult to deal with.

Su Hongyu was a little annoyed.I don't know why Tan Zhou deliberately asked him to go this way.

The people he has always dealt with are those noble-born gentry children, literati, talkers, clean-eyed, and proud. How has he ever seen such smooth and vulgar people?

I am really disgusted.

In the following questions, Zhao Yongyuan would answer whatever Su Hongyu asked.Xiaoyi Yongran, you can't fault it in the slightest.

Su Hongyu pressured him with official authority, and Zhao Yongyuan was able to block it back without being too hard or soft.

I can't ask anything.

After half a stick of incense, Su Hongyu left with his soldiers, and Jin Gou Gambling House reopened to welcome customers.

Zhao Yongyuan went upstairs to answer the call, and saw Huo An sitting in front of the desk peeling peaches, with a concentrated expression, peeling very seriously.

In front of him was a jade dish of a dark brown color, full and complete walnut kernels were piled up like a hill, it was strangely beautiful.

"It turns out that Shangjun likes to eat walnuts."

Zhao Yongyuan glanced at the broken shells on Huo An's right hand, and said with a smile:
"Next time the Lord wants to eat walnuts, just tell me, I will let the people below peel them. How can you do this kind of rough work yourself?"

Huo An's expression was silent, holding iron tongs in his right hand, with a slight force, he was holding a round walnut in his hand seriously, as if the sky was falling and he was not as important as peeling the walnut.

After a while, he said: "No, I don't want to eat it either. I have something to do, time flies."

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Zhao Yongyuan felt that Huo An's voice was a little hoarse when he said this, and it sounded a little gloomy and depressed.

He thought to himself: What kind of eccentricity is this?Do not eat walnuts, prefer peeling walnuts?
Huo An put down the pliers, flicked the skin to remove the shell, carefully put the peeled walnut kernels into the jade plate, patted the crumbs on his hands, and asked, "Su Hongyu is gone?"

Zhao Yongyuan nodded and said: "I asked about the eight villains' crimes. I don't know what their intentions are."

"Tan Zhou asked him to come."

Huo An said unhurriedly: "The eight villains are dead. Tan Zhou thinks it's not a coincidence, and wants to find out who is behind it. He suspects both us and Kyushu Casino, but he can't be sure which one, so he sent Su Hongyu here Probing."

Three days ago, Feng Honghui, the youngest of the eight villains in the Vulture Valley, was slapped to death by Lei Kang, Mu Yueting's follower, because he molested Mu Yueting in the Wind and Rain Building.Thus triggering a battle in Fengyulou.

The seven villains teamed up with the Four Heroes of Taihu Lake, Guazhou Shuangsha, "Lightning Gun" Zhang Yu and Lei Kang, and a maid named Hua Feiyu fought fiercely for two hours, and finally lost to death.

The eight villains, as well as the four masters of Taihu Lake, were all people from the Jianghu that Tan Zhou specially invited to Chuzhou to help in the battle, and used them to drain the fighting power of the Ming Palace.

After these people arrived in Chuzhou, they had nothing to do, eating, drinking, whoring and gambling all day long, and soon squandered the deposit they got from Tan Zhou.

The fan found out the news and reported it to Huo An.

So Huo An asked Zhao Yongyuan to arrange for two old casino bastards who are used to spending thousands of dollars to meet these people by chance. A big blackmail.

These people are all precarious desperadoes who only want to be happy today, regardless of whether they will live or die tomorrow.With silver in hand, people will naturally float away.
