Sui Sui Jianing

Chapter 67
After the man left, Meng Changji sat on the chair decadently, his whole body sunk in the darkness, unable to see the light of day.

He was cold all over and didn't know what to do with himself.

After a long time, someone knocked on the door: "Shopkeeper, there is a commotion downstairs, do you want to go and have a look?"

Meng Changji broke free from the cold, and slowly moved his stiff limbs. In the blink of an eye, all his emotions were suppressed to the bottom of his heart. He stood up and asked in a cold voice, "What's the trouble?"

The clerk said angrily outside the door: "I'm just a dead gambler. I have no money and I want to gamble. If I lose, I can't afford it and I want to renege on my debts. I insist that we cheat."

Meng Changji was in a bad mood, and suddenly such a thing came, which immediately set him off.

He pushed open the door and said with a stern expression: "If you don't accept it, then hit him. I want to see how hard his bones are. I can't afford it? There is always someone who can repay the debt with the house deed and land deed, children and wives. Let him see for himself." If you don’t pay, go to the government and go to jail.”

Seeing that he was in a bad mood, the clerk responded in one voice and did not dare to say anything more. He turned around and was about to send a message, but Meng Changji stopped him suddenly, "Wait a minute."

"Is there any other order from the shopkeeper?"

Meng Changji pursed his lips, sighed heavily after a while, and said, "Let the kitchen cook some delicious dishes, open a couple of jars of wine, and call the newly recruited staff to the backyard."

The waiter was taken aback: "What does the shopkeeper mean—want to drink with them?"

Meng Changji frowned: "Well, if you enter Yuelai Casino, you will be one of us."

"Yes, I'll do it when I'm young."

The man left, Meng Changji closed his eyes while standing there, turned around and quietly went downstairs from the other side of the stairs.

……

The buddy's movements were very neat. When Meng Changji arrived in the backyard, the wine had already been put on the table. Before the assassins from southern Xinjiang came, Meng Changji looked around, picked up the wine jar and poured wine into the bowls one by one. After lapsing, he took out the drug in his sleeve, opened it and shook it into the wine bowl one by one, except for his own.

After pouring, he stuffed the paper ball back into his sleeve, watched the white powder dissolve in the wine, and finally disappeared without a trace, and gently pulled his lower lip.

"The shopkeeper!"

Someone yelled, his heart skipped a beat, and he clenched his sleeves tightly.

He turned his head as if nothing had happened, and saw the twelve southern border assassins striding in, the leader was a tall and strong man.

"The shopkeeper asked us to come here just to drink?"

The man looked at him suspiciously, and Meng Changji waved his hand with a smile: "We are on the same boat when we come here, and the master knows how difficult it is for you all, so let me treat you well, and you will stay here in the future. Here, keep everyone eating and drinking spicy food.”

Seeing his sincerity, these Southern Border Assassins didn't have any doubts. The instructions from above were to let them come to Yuelai Casino to listen to Meng Changji's arrangement, so they believed it.

The man laughed loudly: "Okay! You look younger than me, shall I call you Brother Meng?"

Meng Changji smiled brightly: "I don't know what your name is?"

"My surname is Sun, you can just call me Big Brother Sun."

He turned around to say hello, and the others immediately took their seats happily. A table for twelve people would definitely not fit, so three tables were divided.

As soon as everyone sat down, the guys came in with dishes, "The fried beef just out of the pan—"

"steamed fish--"

The strong fragrance instantly filled the small world of the backyard. The lanterns hanging in a few corners were not very bright, but it did not affect their viewing.

These assassins lived and slept outside, traveling day and night, without eating a few mouthfuls of warm food along the way, eating dry food almost made cocoons out of their mouths, and eating nothing was tasteless, seeing this table of big fish and meat suddenly, many people stared at each other. They all looked straight, swallowing silently.

Meng Changji noticed it and said with a smile, "Don't be restrained, everyone. This is a welcome feast for you. You can eat whatever you want. You may eat too much or not enough. There are still vegetables in the kitchen." It’s not up yet, let’s wait while we eat.”

As he spoke, he picked up the wine bowl first and got up, and the rest of the people also picked up the bowls one after another when they saw this, and looked over in unison.

A skinny black-faced man beside the man asked in a low voice, "Brother, since it's a welcome banquet, why didn't the master come?"

The man said in a low voice: "Master is so busy, how can you have time to see us?"

Meng Changji couldn't help but glanced at the black-faced man, "I respect everyone on behalf of the master. The master is really busy right now, and he doesn't have much time to spare. When he is free, he will come naturally."

The man smiled and said, "We understand, come on, do—"

He turned his head and glared at the black-faced man, "Qin Lie, be careful what you say."

Qin Lie was a little dissatisfied, but with so many eyes watching him, he couldn't say anything, and if he didn't drink, it would appear that he had a different heart.

It's just that he still has a feeling of uneasiness lingering in his heart.

Meng Changji looked up with a smile, and drank the spirits in the bowl in one gulp. The man shouted, "Brother Meng is a good drinker!"

The rest of the people didn't hesitate any longer when they saw this, and drank the bowl of wine.

Qin Lie gritted his teeth and gulped it down.

Next, Meng Changji invited everyone to eat while it was hot, and sleep well tonight after eating.

I don't know if it's because of preconceived reasons, Qin Lie is listening to him now, but there is something wrong.

After sitting for a while, he excused himself to go to the toilet urgently.

Meng Changji glanced at him, saw that his legs were crossed, his face was blushing, he smiled and waved his hands: "The hut is on the west side, you go by yourself, be careful when it's dark."

"Hey, good." Qin Lie left shyly, and Big Brother Sun even laughed at him, "Qin Lie is always like a bitch, he can't drink well, and he has a urgency to urinate after drinking."

Hearing this, Meng Changji raised his eyebrows: "Is he always like this?"

"Yeah, it's like this every time I drink." Brother Sun picked up a peanut and threw it into his mouth, with a faint drunken look on his face.

Meng Changji dispelled the doubts in his heart, and persuaded them to drink some wine again.

……

When Qin Lie touched the hut, he didn't go in immediately, but vigilantly observed the surroundings, listened to all directions, and confirmed that no one was watching nearby, and then pushed open the door of the hut and went in.

The incense was lit in the hut, but the smell was not so unpleasant. He gritted his teeth, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. They had been in Jindu for a few days, and the master hadn't moved. , thinking about how to deal with them.

But today Meng Changji suddenly gave them a reception banquet, and the words he said made him feel that he might not have another meal after this meal, and the master didn't even intend to punish him at all.

Wrong, so wrong!
He thought about Meng Changji's actions. He also drank the wine and ate the food. If he tampered with it, it could only be... chopsticks or a bowl!

The wine had already been poured as soon as they came in, maybe his bowl of wine was different!

Thinking of this, Qin Lie immediately bent down and scratched his own throat with his fingers. After scratching hard twice, a strong sense of nausea surged up, and he vomited out all the wine and food he just drank.
