Chapter five hundred and ninety third(1/2)
Lu Yao still sat down, sneered twice, and "sharply" tore open the collar of his shirt, revealing the scars on his chest, and said sadly: "What a person, you have to be conscience! Second-in-chief, you should remember why my scars came? If I hadn't been to the end, then could Cao Bin have today? Can this Anliangtang have today? I, Lu Yao, spent most of my life in this casino. Leaving the casino, it would be equivalent to taking my life to me. Did Cao Bin consider it for me? What he was considering was just asking you to check my account! Dong Biao, to put it bluntly, I took that money and was revenge on Cao Bin!"
The two of them were no longer talking, but roaring at each other at the top of their throats. The sound was so loud that even Luo Lie and Cao Bin, who were hiding in the room on the second floor, studied glass making technology, both of them heard it clearly, let alone brothers on duty everywhere in the hall. Brothers of a large generation really couldn't stand it anymore, so they came over to persuade, "Brother Biao, Brother Yao, you are all brothers for more than 20 years, what can you say..."
Before the brother could finish his words, Dong Biao roared angrily: "Get out! There is no place for you to speak here!"
The brother could only sigh and turn around and leave.
In Luo Lie's room on the second floor, Cao Bin couldn't help but shook his head and sighed, and no longer had the time to discuss the glass making technology with Luo Lie.
Luo Lie is not good at gambling. He has been to Dong Biao twice in his own casino. He knows Lu Yao, but he is definitely not very familiar with him. Therefore, he stood on Dong Biao's side in terms of facts and personal emotions. However, he did not agree with Dong Biao's methods of doing things, so he couldn't help but nag: "What's wrong with Brother Biao? What's the point of quarrel with him?"
Cao Bin had a gloomy face, and without saying a word, he turned around and left.
Seeing this, Luo Lie knew something was wrong, so he quickly put away the copying of the manuscript and followed Cao Bin downstairs.
At the entrance of the corridor, Dong Biao and Lu Yao were still in a stalemate, but the words that should be yelled had already yelled out, and the swear words that could be yelled out had also exploded. The two of them fell into a cold war in words. But seeing Cao Bin, who was so gloomy and scary, walked out of the corridor, Dong Biao raised his palm in annoyance and slapped his head hard, then sighed heavily, and retreated to the side. On the contrary, Lu Yao was quite tough, but just looked at Cao Bin coldly, snorted in his nostrils, and then turned his head elsewhere.
Now that things have come to this point, Cao Bin didn't want to talk too much nonsense, and made a decision in a cold tone: "My merit is merit and demerit, and I don't want to argue with you today. Since you are brothers who have burned incense and set up a court, you have to follow the rules of the hall. I think you, Lu Yao, have made great contributions to Anliang Hall, and will not be killed by death, and you will be driven out of the hall!" Cao Bin paused for a moment, raised his voice slightly, and shouted at the brothers watching from a distance: "Where are the brothers in the Law Enforcement Hall?"
Four brothers came out.
"Enforce the law!" Cao Bin Lengbingbing shouted again, then turned around and retreated into the entrance of the corridor.
Compared to cutting fingers and palms, slapping the stick seems to be the lightest punishment. It is nothing more than being beaten with flowers blooming on the butt. But it is because of being beaten with too many and hurting the bones, I am afraid there will be no chance to stand up again. If the body is not strong enough, it is not impossible to be beaten to death on the spot. Although they are all practicing, their body is strong enough, and there may not be much problem with each of twenty or thirty sticks, but even Dong Biao, who was young, would never be able to withstand it.
Lu Yao seemed to have come with a determination to die, so he seemed to turn a deaf ear to Cao Bin's decision, but Dong Biao's expression suddenly changed. With a plop, he knelt behind Cao Bin and shouted loudly: "Brother Bin, wait, Brother Bin!"
Cao Bin heard Dong Biao's scream and hesitated for a moment, but still stopped, but did not turn around, and said coldly: "What else do you have to say?"
Dong Biao said: "Lu Yao was brought into the hall by me, Abiao. My brother made a mistake. I, Abiao, should share the burden. I, Bing, ask Brother Bin to allow me to share the burden of fifty sticks for Lu Yao."
Cao Bin snorted coldly and said, "Nothing!"
Dong Biao shouted, "A hundred sticks will kill people! Brother Bin, although Lu Yao is wrong, he has made merits. Although his merits and demerits cannot be compared, he should spare his life, Brother Bin..."
Cao Bin was silent for a moment, and finally sighed, saying, "It's a blessing that you, A Biao, pleaded for him, okay, let you share the thirty rods for him." After saying that, Cao Bin did not hesitate anymore and quickly walked up the stairs.
In just three or five minutes, the four brothers from the Law Enforcement Hall set up two benches and brought four long staffs. The leader came to Dong Biao carefully and asked for instructions: "Brother Biao, how to fight?"
Dong Biao shouted: "Fight it down! Otherwise, what else can it be done?"
When executing the pole, the person who is punished needs to take off his pants and can only wear a pair of shorts at most. Therefore, it is not feasible to try to make a fuss by putting something in his clothes. However, the person holding the pole has skills when torture. It seems to be a real hit, but when the pole touches the butt of the pole, he can use the elasticity of the pole, causing a very loud but average fake punch. However, this technique can only be hidden from outsiders, and an expert like Cao Bin cannot hide it from him.
After being yelled by Dong Biao, the brothers in the Law Enforcement Hall shook their heads helplessly, and had to invite Dong Biao and Lu Yao to a bench and hit them down with one stick at a time.
Every stick that hit Luo Lie, who was standing at the entrance of the corridor, suddenly trembled.
After being beaten thirty rods, Dong Biao breathed a sigh of relief, turned his face to look at Lu Yao, and the expression revealed in his eyes was quite complicated. "Where is the stretcher? Carry me over? After being beaten, I have to let me get wet in the rain, right?" Lu Yao ignored Dong Biao, which made Dong Biao angry again.
Several other brothers quickly brought a stretcher and carried Dong Biao to the entrance of the corridor.
Luo Lie seemed very hesitant, but in the end he picked up the cigarettes and matches that fell to the ground, squatted beside Dong Biao, pulled out one, lit it, and put it in Dong Biao's mouth.
Dong Biao took a beautiful mouthful and said, "Boy, you still feel sorry for Brother Biao!"
Luo Lie sighed: "You said, why are you doing this?"
Dong Biao said: "If I don't get these thirty sticks for him, he may die here. Boy, a brother of twenty years, can I bear to watch him be beaten to death?"
At this moment, Luo Lie suddenly thought of An Zhai.
From the age of eight, he entered the Chinese and Western Academy, to today, he and An Zhai have been brothers for ten years. If An Zhai made a mistake and were beaten by a hundred poles, would he share the burden with him?
Yes! Sure! Sure!
Luo Lie gave the answer confidently in his heart.
Lu Yao's body was obviously much weaker. After only fifty sticks, he fainted in pain. The brothers in the law enforcement hall had no choice but to stop. The leader quickly came to the entrance of the corridor to ask for instructions: "Brother Biao, Brother Yao fainted, can he still beat him?"
Dong Biao gritted his teeth and squeezed out a word: "Try!"
The brother asked again, "How about I let my brothers play some tricks?"
Dong Biao widened his eyes and shouted, "Who dares to fool Brother Bin and use the rules as a joke? He will be the one who lies on the bench next!"
The brother sighed lightly and had to turn around and continue to execute.
After the remaining twenty sticks, Lu Yao was already unconscious. Dong Biao called the brothers in the hall to carry him to Lu Yao, tried Lu Yao's breathing himself, and then opened Lu Yao's eyelids. Seeing that his pupils were still normal, he breathed a sigh of relief and ordered: "Thank you a few to take him home, and then go and invite Dr. Anthony over."
Dr. Anthony is skilled in medical skills and is even more skillful in treating such trauma. Fortunately, the brothers in the Law Enforcement Hall still showed mercy after all. Although it was a real blow, they did not try their best. Therefore, although Lu Yao was seriously injured, his life was worry-free.
Although Dong Biao was thick in skin, he was hit by thirty sticks, but his butt was also blew. After applying medicine, he lay on the bed for two days before he could barely get out of bed. The day after he was able to get out of bed, Dong Biao called Luo Lie and another brother who could drive, drove in, and headed straight for Lu Yao's house.
Lu Yao was beaten forty sticks, and his injuries were more than twice as serious as Dong Biao. Although he was awake, he could only lie on the bed and not move. When he heard someone in his family say that Dong Biao was visiting, Lu Yao coldly threw out two words: "No!"
In the main hall, Dong Biao faced Lu Yao's wife, smiled bitterly and explained: "Sister-in-law, please tell me that although I am no longer a brother in Anliangtang, after leaving Anliangtang, we are still fellow villagers and brothers, and we have something to say hello."
Dong Biao took Luo Lie to leave in a panic. Two people flashed out of the side room. They spit at Dong Biao who had already left outside the door, and then went straight into the bedroom where Lu Yao was recovering from the wounded. Mrs. Lu Yao was quite tactful and quickly closed the door of the home, brought it to the bedroom door, and guarded the living room.
The two were Lu Yao's right-hand man. One of them was about 35 or 36 years old, and the other one was about 30 years old, who was about 30 years old, named Lu Tonghe. You can only know by the name that these two people should be brothers from the Tong generation of Anliangtang.
When he entered the bedroom, Lu Tonghe still felt resentful towards Dong Biao and couldn't help but nag: "Dong Dabiao came here clearly because he wanted to see his husband's joke. It would be right for the gentleman to not see him. From now on, the three of us will have no relationship with him, Anliangtang."
After all, Ma Tongbao was a few years older, and he was a little calmer than Lu Tonghe. After hearing Lu Tonghe's resentment, he frowned slightly and comforted him: "Brother, let's say less, be careful that there are ears in the wall."
Lu Tonghe said disdainfully: "What can you do when you hear it? At worst, you can just catch me and blame me for a hundred sticks. Even if I, Lu Tonghe, died under the stick, I would never succumb to the dead rule of being unkind and merciless."
Ma Tongbao sighed, "That's right. Our husband has devoted himself to Anliangtang for most of his life. In the end, Brother Bin said that he had transformed and gave up all the casino without saying a word, without even thinking about the life and death of our brothers. If the gentleman hadn't made the decision for us, we wouldn't know where to go to drink the northwest wind next month to have enough stomachs."
Lu Yao, who was lying on the bed, coughed lightly and said, "You both stop and listen to me."
The two of them quickly stopped. One of them brought a wet towel for Lu Yao, and the other poured a cup of tea and brought it to Lu Yao. Lu Yao wiped his face under the two of them, drank two sips of tea, and asked, "It has been two days, what kind of wind is there outside?"
Ma Tongbao rushed to report: "There is no need for us brothers to talk outside. Now there are rumors in the world, and there are all rumors and everything."
Lu Tonghe followed and said, "It is normal for Cao Bin to be powerful and most people are on his side, but there are still many discerning people who can see the essence, but they are not willing to explain it."
Lu Yao sighed lightly and said, "I am old and don't care much about reputation or something. At worst, I can just quit the world. But you are still young, but you have to follow me and suffer the cold laughter from others. It's really a pain for you two."
Ma Tongbao said: "Sir, don't say that. Without your cultivation, we two don't know which mine we are doing hard work in. We are already satisfied with what we can do today. As for what others think, it is their freedom. We have a clear conscience and can straighten our backs wherever we go."
Lu Tonghe said, "Brother Bao is right. Our brothers were brought out by the teacher. As long as the teacher doesn't dislike him, our brothers will always follow him."
Lu Yao sighed again and said, "I thought that when I was in the glory of Lu Yao, I ran eight casinos, and I had nearly 200 brothers under my command, but in the end, only you brothers were still serving you. It's so sad, so alasm!"
Ma Tongbao said: "Sir, don't be sad. We brothers still have you in our hearts, but they are humble and dare not express their opinions in such a situation. To put it bluntly, they still have hope for Anliangtang. After a few days, when they see Cao Bin and Dong Biao's true face, they will naturally turn to Mr.'s side."
Lu Yao smiled miserably and said, "So what can we do? We have nothing now. If those brothers defect to us, what business can we rely on to support them?"
Lutonghedao: "Sir, we can set up another mountain to make a comeback! As long as we have the skills, it is not difficult to open a casino. As long as you wave your arms, the brothers in the past will be able to keep it in full force."
Ma Tongbao continued: "Yes, sir, there is a property on Triumph Avenue that is being rented. Yesterday, I went to Tonghe and I, which is very suitable for opening a casino. It is between the city and Chinatown. It is indeed a bit depressed, but it is a benefit for us to open a casino. Moreover, the place is a few steps away from Chinatown, and our regular customers can easily be recruited back."
Lu Yao's eyes lit up, and then he showed a sense of sorrow and said, "Cao Bin transferred the casino business to Mafia. You may not be familiar with Mafia, but I know that they are all stupid people. They are fighting with them for business. I am worried that my brothers will suffer a loss!"
Ma Tongbao said: "Why should you be more powerful than others to destroy your own aura? Mafia is so mean. Are our brothers afraid of death? As long as Cao Bin and Dong Biao do not interfere, it would be fine if those Mafia don't say anything. If they really mess with our brothers, they will be kept and beat them back to the East Coast."
Lu Tonghe gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Bao is right. Since the day he entered the hall, our brothers have not planned to have a good end. As long as they live a happy life, no one will be afraid when it is time to fight. Sir, don't hesitate, take our brothers to have a big fight!"
Lu Yao coughed twice and coughed up a mouthful of phlegm. Ma Tongbao, who was beside him, quickly handed the spittoon. Lu Yao spitted phlegm and cleared his throat again, saying, "I have saved up a lot of useful things over the years. If I really encounter trouble and have to start a war, we will not suffer any loss in firepower. What I am worried about is that we have set up another mountain, but no brothers come to join us. In the end, it becomes a joke. Then our face will be completely lost."
Ma Tongbao said: "Sir, then you are too worried. Think about it, our brothers are used to doing casino business. After leaving the casino, they are equivalent to walking corpses. Even if Cao Bin and Dong Biao can take them in, they will not be happy that day. In addition, Ma Feiya took over Anliangtang's casino and may retain some seats for us brothers, but after all, they are also a minority. Even if Ma Feiya is left behind, working with foreigners and working with our brothers is completely different. Therefore, Tongbao dares to issue military orders with Mr., as long as Mr. raises the banner, at least one of our previous brothers must come and join us."
A light flashed in Lu Yao's eyes again, and there was a little excitement in his tone: "So, we still have a foundation to establish another mountain, right?"
Lu Tonghe snatched: "Of course! Sir, you'll be kind enough. As long as you nod, we will take care of the rest of the matter with Brother Bao and Brother Bao."
Lu Yao nodded and said, "Very good, very good! Then let's fight again and stand up. If you don't stop, we won't blame others, we just blame ourselves for not having enough strength."
Ma Tongbao was also quite excited and said, "As the saying goes, wealth and honor are in danger! Sir, if we brothers do not have the courage to put our heads on the belt, then what else can we say to set up a new mountain? Sir, don't have any more worries. Brothers believe you, even if you really lose, you will never blame Mr."
Lu Yao pondered for a moment, and finally made up his mind and said, "Okay, I have injuries on my body and it's inconvenient to move. Please ask you two. For the venue, if you have Tongbao, I'm still safe. If you think that property is pretty good, then hurry up and finalize the contract with the owner. You should also hurry up and make sure that custom-made countertops and other things are the most important thing to contact the brothers before. We only have one place, and we may not be able to support so many people, but if there are fewer brothers, I'm afraid that it will be enough to raise about fifty people in one place. What do you two brothers think?"
Malu and the other two replied in unison: "Listen to the sir's arrangement."
The habits of foreigners in doing things are, at best, that is standardized and rigorous, but at worst, it is purely procrastination and long-term.
George got the transfer agreement signed by Cao Bin, but it took him three days to complete all the legal procedures. Then, he became embarrassed about how to deal with the inherent personnel of the casino. From the depth of consciousness, George, like most foreigners, despises Chinese from the bottom of his heart, but considering the business, he thought that once he lost these familiar dealers, the number of regular customers in the casino might be reduced a lot, so he rationally wanted to keep these people.
Finally, the decision to keep people was made, but George did not rush to announce it, but took several subordinates to Anliangtang. After all, these people were Anliangtang's brothers, and George thought very thoughtfully. It was most appropriate to make a decision after obtaining the consent of Cao Bin or Dong Biao.
When George came to Anliangtang, it happened that Dong Biao and Luo Lie and the others were disappointed from Lu Yao's home. After being turned away, Dong Biao was quite upset. In addition, the injuries on his butt had not healed. He walked around again and again, which made the newly scabbed wounds cracked again and the pain was unbearable. Naturally, he was not much better. Therefore, in the face of George's opinion, Dong Biao seemed a little impatient. "What you said is not my control. You have to ask Tom's opinion. He said that it would be okay, but he said that it would be no, so you can do it yourself. Oh, who would hurry up and get me cold water, it hurts so much!"
George maintained a good cultivation, didn't care much about Dong Biao's impatientness, and said concerned: "Jack, are you injured? Who has the courage to attack you?"
Dong Biao smiled bitterly and said, "It's Tom, George, are you planning to stand up for me and teach Tom a lesson?"
George smiled awkwardly, "Then I dare not interfere. You must have done something wrong and were punished by Tom."
Dong Biao said: "It's because Tom transferred the casino business to you Mafia, which made us angry. My brother in charge of the casino business at our hall. I have been borne by others. Oh, I can't tell you clearly, George, you'd better come back another day. Tom went out early in the morning and might not come back very late."
After sending George away, Luo Lie helped Dong Biao upstairs and moved up the stairs with difficulty, Luo Lie couldn't help asking, "Brother Biao, isn't Brother Bin at home? Why do you say that Brother Bin has gone out?"
Dong Biao took the opportunity to stop and rest, stared at him and said in surprise: "Is Brother Bin at home? Look at my brain, I'm actually confused. Oh, it's strange to say that. This butt blooms, and it actually hurts my brain? I've always felt confused these two days."
Luo Lie smiled and said, "You can't help it. You obviously don't want George to see Brother Bin. Don't lie to me. I have learned the technique of reading my mind."
Dong Biao rolled his eyelids, grinned and smiled: "Seeing through and not saying it out loud is what a gentleman does. Boy, are you a gentleman?"
Luo Lie shook his head and responded simply: "No!"
Dong Biao was stunned, then shook his head and smiled, "You are indeed not a gentleman. You always play tricks with Brother Biao. Okay, Brother Biao will tell you the truth. The reason why Brother Biao doesn't want George to see Brother Biao is because Brother Biao doesn't want to see George."
It was Luo Lie's turn to be stunned.
To be continued...
