The rising sun shatters the darkness!

Chapter 291 Betting (asking for monthly ticket)

In broad daylight, the sky is bright.

Xu Shu rushed in and knocked the two people in charge to the ground without saying a word. He turned around and asked politely:
Who is Si Gu Jian?
Gu Yueming couldn't answer this question. She was a sword servant and didn't know too many secrets of the Gu family.

Gu Jiangming, who was knocked to the ground, couldn't say anything. He had used all his strength to tickle Xu Shu with his sword, but was punched in the backhand, and his jaw was almost broken. Now he was bleeding and was stepped on by Xu Shu, his eyes were a little dazed.

In fact, although Xu Shu seemed to have asked this question, he actually did not.

As early as the day before yesterday, when he asked about the origins of Gu Lanshan and Gu Shutong of the "Evil Spirit Band" and learned that they were the descendants of Si Gu Jian, he began to doubt the real Gu family.
At that time, Xu Shu was wondering whether the real Gu family could be the descendants of "Si Gu Jian"?

At this moment, Gu Yueming revealed the sword techniques used by Gu Jiangming, which confirmed Xu Shu's original suspicion.

What a coincidence!

But now is not the time to discuss in detail.

"What... are you waiting for... hurry up and do it!" Gu Jiangming said incoherently while spurting blood.

"Ah."

Xu Shu was not afraid and looked around.

Except for Wei Wujiu who was seriously injured when they met, the other twenty or so people all looked at him with full vigilance.

Among them, there are five second-level extraordinary people, and the rest of the first-level ones are their apprentices or subordinates.

As soon as Gu Jiangming said to take action, everyone really started to take action. It can be seen that Gu Jiangming is a man with a lot of face.

But it was limited to "moving my hands".

They all took out their weapons, some were modern firearms, some were small whips, some were boxing gloves, fans, talismans, etc. Different professions had different weapons.

After taking out their weapons, everyone's eyes became vague and they stood still. No one tried to be the first to attack Xu Shu.

What a joke, this guy is so powerful, simply unfathomable, who is willing to go first?
Shoot the first bird!

After a short confrontation, Xu Shu suddenly spoke first and asked, "Why, do you also want to sign a death warrant? If you want to fight, you can. Sign the death warrant. Our fists will not kill nameless people."

"This……"

Everyone looked at each other and no one spoke.

The visual impact of the scene that just happened was too strong for them.

They are all "friends" of Gu Jiangming, and they also know that this Gu family swordsman who is ranked on the Qingyun List is very powerful. He can't even pierce the enemy's face. How powerful is this guy?

It's fine to just stand on the platform, but risking your life? Isn't that a bit uneconomical?
But if I just leave like this, it seems too embarrassing.

Brother Jiang Ming is watching. Look at his big eyes like copper bells. If no one makes a move, do we just eat his meals for free?

Although they said so, everyone looked at each other, but no one took any action.

A mature woman who was looked at with a look of help by Gu Jiangming was the first to put away her exquisite little pistol. She laughed and said, "Hey, today's incident, I think it's just an internal matter of the Gu family. Don't you think so?"

A hint of sinisterness flashed across Gu Jiangming's eyes, and he quickly looked at the other person.

When Xu Shu saw it, he also looked in the direction he was looking.

He was a sturdy night watchman wearing a Taoist robe.

The night watchman's eyes met with Gu Jiangming and Xu Shu one after another. He immediately agreed, "Madam Qin is right! This is Widow Gu..."

"Hmm?" Xu Shu frowned.

The latter's expression froze immediately, and he changed his words: "This is Daoist Yueming's family affair. I am a monk, so it is not convenient for me to ask about the secular world."

After saying this, the Taoist priest immediately retreated behind his disciples.

Xu Shu looked at the bald, scarred, middle-aged man next to him who looked like a pig butcher.

"Ha ha ha, these guys are so shameless and fence-sitters, not like me, Old Zhang!" The pig butcher patted the dagger at his waist.

"I understand. You are a man of courage." Xu Shu narrowed his eyes, changed his foot to step on Gu Jiangming, and freed his hands to roll up his sleeves.

The butcher suddenly said, "You misunderstood me, buddy. I meant that I was not prepared to do it from the beginning!"

As he spoke, he stood next to the beautiful woman named Qin, deliberately avoiding looking at Gu Jiangming.

Seeing this, Xu Shu looked at the remaining two "intermediate prosecutors".

"Brother, you're joking. Are we the kind of people who don't distinguish right from wrong?"

"It's hard for an honest judge to judge family affairs. We, the Judgment Department, have no right to interfere in the Gu family's affairs."

Seeing that others chose to watch the show, the two were no longer willing to step forward. They waved their hands, turned their heads and avoided Gu Jiangming's sight.

"..."Gu Jiangming's heart was completely dead.

At this point, he knew that he had no chance of recovery with these people, and could only try not to resist.

I thought, as long as I suffer a little, this guy won't do anything to me. He is standing up for Gu Yueming, and then I just need to... "Ahhhhh!" Before this thought was halfway through, Gu Jiangming suddenly screamed, and his left hand was twisted off.

"You damn caterpillar, your eyes are moving so fast, what are you planning to do to me?" Xu Shu said angrily.

Gu Jiangming gritted his teeth and said, "No... I, I don't dare."

"How dare you lie!"

Xu Shu twisted his right arm again with a snap.

In an instant, the whole room was filled with Gu Jiangming's heart-wrenching howls.

"Hiss!" Wei Wujiu touched his broken shoulder. For some reason, he suddenly felt that Xu Shu was a really good person as he did not break both of his shoulders.

However, this made everyone feel relieved.

They all saw that the man hired by Widow Gu, called "Xu Shu", seemed to be ruthless, but in fact he did not kill anyone.

He really was just standing up for Widow Gu.

It seems that Gu Jiangming has hit a wall this time. Although he cannot escape the punishment of life imprisonment, he can avoid the death penalty, which is considered lucky.

Everyone watched Xu Shu beating people for a while. In the end, the beautiful woman named Qin was the most understanding. She whispered a few instructions, sent a few men, and quickly went to the duel arena outside.

Not long after, Gu Pan was brought over.

"You're giving in already? Ha, I think that Gu Jiangming is a coward, and he's even ranked on the Rising Stars list? What a beast and a slut, it's hilarious! He's really bringing shame to our Gu family! Tell him later, don't say his last name is Gu on the street, I can't afford to lose him!"

The sound came before the person entered the house.

He speaks clearly and has a loud voice, like a walking machine gun, cursing as he walks.

Several people in the room lowered their heads and dared not laugh. Only Gu Jiangming, who was lying on the ground, had red eyes.

Damn it, damn it! You all deserve to die! Gu Jiangming roared madly in his heart.

As they were talking, several people brought Gu Pan into the house. The latter cleared his throat, probably wanting to say a few more harsh words after entering the house, but as soon as he entered the door, he suddenly became silent.

"Ah? You...why are you here?" Gu Pan was shocked to see another "Gu Pan" surrounded by the crowd.

Xu Shu nodded without saying anything, but just pointed at Gu Jiangming under his feet.

The meaning is very clear, finish the work first and talk about the rest later.

Gu Pan understood, and walked to Xu Shu's side. After thinking for a while, he couldn't help but speak in a voice several dozen decibels lower, as if talking to himself, but also as if explaining: "Hey, hey, hey, did you hear someone talking just now? I'm telling you, the one cursing outside just now wasn't me, it really wasn't me."

Xu Shu glanced at her, thought for a moment and said, "Yeah."

So Gu Pan replied with a smiling face: "囧".

Others didn't see any problem.

The beautiful woman surnamed Qin said, "Sister Gu, I think we should just let this matter go."

Wei Wujiu rubbed his shoulders and said, "We were wrong in this matter. Brother Jiang Ming and I apologize to you. I hope you two will not bear grudges. It would be wonderful if we can make a big deal out of a small matter and a small matter out of nothing." "Yes, yes."

"I think this is the best way. The outcome of the fight has been decided. Brother Jiang Ming, just hand over the previous bets and this fight will be over."

The others said one after another.

Xu Shu scratched his ears and thought to himself why this speech sounded familiar, had he just heard it?
This group of people are arrogant at first and respectful later. It's really laughable to think about it.

Gu Yueming didn't think there was anything wrong with it. She had little combat experience, but she had seen a lot of worldly affairs, and this kind of thing was very common.

After thinking about it, she realized that today's result was far beyond her expectations, so Gu Yueming said, "That's fine. We don't want to offend you all. Now that things have come to this, please ask this friend to take out the stakes. We will settle the money and goods, and you friends can be witnesses."

As she spoke, she looked at Xu Shu.

Xu Shu then released his foot from stepping on Gu Jiangming and asked, "What's the bet?"

Gu Pan explained: "It's mainly some of my money and some erosion crystals that I kept at home. Just a few days ago, my aunt and I returned to the safe zone and found that the family had moved away, so we wanted to go get our things.

"As a result, Gu Jiangming deliberately made things difficult for us and refused to let us in! Humph, not only is this man shameless, he even abandoned his ancestors and became a steward of the Wei family. I have disliked him for a long time, what a hypocrite!
"The bet is that if I can win the fight, I will return the things to us, a total of 240 million. In addition, we must be allowed to go back to the Gu family mansion to get the things. Oh, now we are at the Wei family mansion."

Gu Pan said this while looking at Gu Jiangming hatefully. She herself was a person with a strong sense of family honor. As they were from the same family, she felt ashamed to see the other party do this.

"Oh, so that's what happened."

Xu Shu had heard about this matter of being bullied from Gu Yueming, so he was not surprised.

Gu Jiangming stood up with difficulty, supported by several of his men. He said in a hoarse voice, "I'll have someone bring the money over right away. A total of 2.4 million, all of it!"

240?
Xu Shu raised his eyebrows, inexplicably feeling that this number was unusually familiar.

But that's not important, what's important is...

"Why is it only 240 million?" Xu Shu asked with a frown.

Gu Pan asked in confusion, "Didn't I just say that? Our stuff is worth 240 million in total, and there are some crystals, but not much. As for clothes, jewelry, etc., they are not important, so I didn't count the money."

"Hehe, Panpan, clothes and jewelry are still important." Gu Yueming interrupted. She knew that Gu Pan might have almost none of these things, but she had a lot.

Xu Shu shook his head: "No, no, this 240 million is originally yours, how can it be considered a bet?"

He looked at Gu Jiangming and said, "Since my teacher said that gold and silver jewelry are not important, then it is not important. You lost the bet. According to the rules, you have to pay another 240 million yuan to settle the matter."

"..." Gu Jiangming opened his bloody mouth with difficulty, but couldn't utter a word.

The rest of the people also looked at Xu Shu in shock.

Xu Shu looked back at them and said, "Do you think there is anything wrong with this?"

"No problem, no problem at all." The beautiful woman surnamed Qin shook her head.

"I think that's true, no problem." Wei Wujiu said.

"What do you mean there's no problem? You guys are just bullshitting!"

Zhang the butcher raised his voice, facing Gu Jiangming's hopeful gaze, and continued: "If not, how can it still be called a bet? I think it's too little. 480 million in total, this number is unlucky, let's make it an even number, 500 million!"

There was a moment of silence:

"Hahaha, that's what Lao Zhang said!"

"There is really no problem with this approach."

For a moment, several people clapped and echoed, and the room was filled with laughter and a happy atmosphere.

Things have come to this, and they obviously don't want to get involved. Things that can be settled with money are not a big deal.

"This..." Gu Yueming hesitated for a moment, having no idea why things would develop to this point.

Gu Pan accepted it quickly: "I think there is no problem."

Gu Jiangming lowered his head and glanced at his friends' faces out of the corner of his eyes, hiding a hint of coldness.

He said with difficulty: "Okay, I'll do as you wish. But I won't carry these things with me. Come with me to Gu's house to get them."

"Hey, brother Jiang Ming, that place belongs to the Wei family now." Wei Wujiu said.

Gu Jiangming glanced at him, his eyes became calm, as if he was looking at a dead person: "Well, what Elder Wei said is right. Other friends, come together, just like she said, let's all bear witness for me, this matter will be over, let's make a big deal out of a small matter, let's make a small matter out of nothing."

"This……"

Several people were stunned and some were reluctant.

But Wei Wujiu said, "Let's all go together. I'll treat this brother Xu to a meal as an apology."

His eyes inadvertently flashed across a black leather book stuck on Xu Su's waist, and a hint of imperceptible flattery appeared on his face.

When the others saw that their leader Wei Wujiu also said so, they thought about it and thought it seemed okay, so they all agreed.

As for Gu Yueming and Gu Pan, it was no objection, as that was their home for more than ten years. It would be even better if they could go back and sort out some of their daughters' personal belongings by themselves.

"Then let's go now!" Gu Jiangming looked at him, lowered his head, said nothing, and left first.

The rest of the people hit it off immediately, and immediately became like heroes of the martial arts world. They were fighting one second and shaking hands in peace the next. Everyone happily surrounded Xu Shu and went back to the upper floor together.

The cars were parked here, so it was very convenient to go back. Several people seemed to have noticed Wei Wujiu's gaze, and also discovered the black leather book on Xu Shu's waist. They all became extremely enthusiastic and strongly invited Xu Shu to sit in their cars.

However, Xu Shu did not like this kind of enthusiasm. He requisitioned a car that belonged to someone unknown and gave it to Gu Pan to drive.

He is most accustomed to the teacher driving.

Seeing this, the others did not force it and drove from here to the Hunter Association located in the center of the safe zone.

On the way, Wei Wujiu was sitting in the back seat of his own car. He had just wrapped a layer of pharmacist bandage on his injured shoulder when suddenly a dark shadow came in from the side and landed on the seat like a ghost, revealing a slim and seductive figure.

It was the beautiful woman just now, "Impermanence" Qin Yue.

"Mr. Wei, what did you find out? Tell me about it. If I am not mistaken, the book on that guy's body could be from... that person?" Qin Yue asked.

Wei Wujiu snorted coldly: "Oh, you've already seen it all, why are you still pretending?"

"My eyesight is poor and I can't see clearly. I hope Mr. Wei can give me some advice." Qin Yue licked her red lips and leaned over to the two people seductively.

Wei Wujiu was not polite either. He hugged her in his arms and scrubbed her vigorously with facial cleanser to recover from the emotional trauma she had just suffered.

After being exhausted physically and mentally, he said:
"Yes, that is the Book of Holy Words of the Archbishop of the Dawn Church! When the Wei family was promoted a while ago, the Archbishop personally came forward and awarded the honor to our head of the family. I saw it once!"

Qin Yue covered her lips and said, "So, this guy must be Xu Shu? I was wondering, when I heard the name, I didn't react."

Wei Wujiu sighed, "Alas, I did feel something was wrong at the beginning, but I didn't dare to think about it. As soon as he knocked me down, I immediately figured it out. Who else could have this ability at the second level, except for the senior prosecutor nominated by the archbishop himself?"

"Tsk tsk, I was wondering why your attitude changed so quickly. Turns out you recognized your boss, haha. If I remember correctly, your Wei family is considered the direct descendant of the Dawn Church, right?" Qin Yue said with a smile.

"Who says it isn't?"

Wei Wujiu suddenly asked: "Sister Yue, how old are you this year?"

"You old ghost, can you ask a woman's age?" Qin Yue's face suddenly turned pale, bloodless, like a wronged ghost.

Wei Wujiu said, "Alas, I am 46 years old this year. This is all I have ever been able to do. Being a mid-level prosecutor is the limit of my career. How old do you think Xu Shu is?"

"Uh, in his twenties?" Qin Yue was stunned.

Wei Wujiu shook his head and pointed to a number: "Eighteen."

"Oh my god, so young?" Qin Yue was stunned. "But, doesn't the Book of the Holy Word say that it is passed down from one bishop to another in the church? He can be promoted at the age of 18? Isn't this too unreasonable?"

"The designated bishop of the Dawn Church, if you ask me about this, who can I go to for justice? Anyway, I support him."

Wei Wujiu looked up at the sky and did not sigh to himself.
