We won’t go into details about how Shuangxie and the others sneaked into the city with Mei Chiyang and others.
Let’s talk about Sun Ling and Huang Jun.
Speaking of these two scoundrels, since they came out of Ruyang County, they have made a lot of money by pretending to be Sun Yixie and Huang Dong.
Leaving aside some of the petty theft they did along the way, let’s just say that they were “eating evil” in the ruined temple and devoured the things that Zhu Chao, the Taisui who moved the mountain, had just stolen from the tomb. And the one who later came to Liuzhuang and defrauded the people there... The stolen goods from these two transactions alone, after being sold in Zhoukou, were enough to make them rich.
As for the virtues of these two people, as I have said before, they will not make long-term plans just because they have some money, such as saving some money to do some serious business. , I will never cheat again... This is impossible.
Sun Ling and Huang Jun are naturally the type of people who are "drunk now". Such people do not know how to endure, have no self-control, cannot reflect, are extremely selfish, and lack empathy. Heart and compassion.
In today’s terms, a typical garbage person.
Keeping pets without vaccinations, walking dogs without a leash or picking up dog poop, throwing garbage without sorting it, destroying public property as if it were your own, jumping in line as if nothing happened, and never caring about what others can do when parking. You can't move it, anything you pick up belongs to you, if you don't take advantage of it, you will lose. Doing all the above while mocking those who follow the rules is stupid.
In ancient times, this kind of person was defined by a word that was somewhat class-discriminatory and quite precise - unruly people.
In terms of modern law, including law enforcement, it is relatively polite to this kind of people, but in today's world, if this kind of guy commits a crime and is brought to court, he is likely to be arrested on the spot. Killed.
Sun Ling and Huang Jun have naturally not reached that stage yet, and they are still very proud of themselves at the moment.
In the past two days, they used the defrauded money to go whoring and gambling in the city. They came together at noon to have a banquet, in the afternoon they gambled, and in the evening they went to the brothels and drank. Then they spent the night directly in the brothel.
The most annoying thing...when they did these things, they still used the names of Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai.
So, when the real Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai entered the city, they quickly found out their whereabouts.
You can say that these two counterfeiters are courageous, small-minded, and unprepared at all; but from their perspective, this is indeed a development that is difficult to predict - they did not You might have thought that the real thing would hear about the existence of these two fakes so quickly and track them down personally within just a few days.
According to Mei Chiyang, since we already know the whereabouts of these two turtle grandsons, there is nothing else to do. We will take action tonight. They will arrest them and beat them overnight until they are two fat men. Let’s talk about it slowly.
Sun Yixie said, this is cheapThey are dead. Just beating them is boring, but how good is torture? "The beautiful lady ascends the ladder", "the immortal offers fruit", "the ape wears the crown"... I'll give it a go.
Mei Chiyang’s knowledge was very shallow now. He had never heard of these punishments, so he asked Brother Sun to explain. After Brother Sun explained, Mei Chiyang was I shuddered, thinking that this kid is not a good person, why is this method more ruthless than our Green Forest Road?
Huang Donglai couldn't stand listening to the conversation between the two of them. In the end, Brother Huang said something fair: "Master Mei Zhai, your behavior is vulgar; Mr. Sun, your skills are... Damn it... I think we should think of a less vicious but enough way to punish them, and play with these two monkeys."
Then he said " The strategy of "pretending to cheat with deception" is to let the two impostors have a taste of being deceived.
After hearing this, Sun Yixie and Mei Chiyang gave Mr. Huang...oh no...Brother Huang a thumbs-up: "Brother Huang, there is something."
It was agreed upon. , the three of them discussed it some more, perfected some details, and then assigned tasks to Lei Buji and Mei Chiyang's brothers. This good show... will start tonight.
…………
It was night, it was already dark, and Sun Ling and Huang Juncai slowly walked out of the casino.
The casino is a very particular place.
Not seeing light, not seeing wind, not seeing emptiness, these three are the basics.
What does it mean?
First of all, no light, that is, in the casino, it is best not to let in natural light from the outside, whether it is sunlight or moonlight; this has nothing to do with whether the place is legal or not. In ancient times, Legal gambling stalls are also designed in this way. They are never open-air venues, and if they are, they won't be open for long.
Any lighting in a casino must use artificial light sources. The light must be adjusted to a relatively dim and comfortable level. Once people enter this place, they will not be able to know the time outside. If it is a modern casino, , that is why we should try to avoid clocks in the house.
Secondly, the second point, no wind, means the same as the first point. That is to say, there should be fewer or even no windows in the casino.
Window not only brings in light and wind from the outside, but also often becomes the first choice for escapees; if someone suddenly grabs a handful of silver on the table and breaks out of the window, it will be very troublesome. ? Even if you chase the person back, the window is already broken and people run away every day. Can't you change the window every day?
In addition, the indoor temperature in the casino is also particular. It should not be too hot, which would make people unable to stay, nor too cold, as people would easily wake up when the wind blows; it is best to be on the warm side, that is, The kind of heat that makes people easily addicted...
The last third point is that there is no emptiness. This "empty" can be understood as space, or it can also be said to be emptiness.
A place like a casino must always feel crowded and lively, so that as soon as people step into the place, they will feelThere will be a sense of integration; many modern disco bars do the same thing, that is, the music must be loud and the place is crowded, so that you can easily become part of the crowd... If you can easily find a relative in such a place, If you have a spacious space to think alone for a few minutes, then the design of this place is a failure.
The spacing between various items in the casino should be minimized as much as possible. It is best that when you turn around, your attention will move from one item to another, and people will blend from one group to another. crowd.
The above... methods of blurring people's sense of time and space are all ancient, and they can be regarded as the crystallization of the wisdom of those who do this business.
Imagine if you walked into a casino, it was as spacious as a gymnasium, with a large skylight on the roof, surrounded by high windows, good ventilation and lighting, and a cold breeze all day long. Yes, each gambling item inside is seven or eight meters away, and there are only three or five people playing sparsely next to each item... Then you must not be interested.
Of course, "VIP" or "big room" is another matter; what we are talking about here refers to the casino environment accessible to ordinary gamblers.
Although Sun Ling and Huang Jun are both in their early twenties, they are both old gamblers. They have long been accustomed to the greenhouse-like environment of the casino, and they can spend a whole day in it. , you don’t even need to drink water, so you can go to the toilet less often.
Today, they unknowingly gambled for three or four hours... To sum up, they lost more than they won, but they didn't lose everything.
Many people think that entering a casino means immediately going bankrupt, and it is impossible to get even a penny left. This is actually wrong...most of them are squeezed in the "treasure game" There is a process for everyone who does it, and it does not happen overnight - it usually takes a certain amount of time for a person with a normal mind to become an irrational gambler, and extreme cases are only a minority after all.
As for those who open the treasure game, they don’t have to do anything deliberately. If every time a person comes in, they want to immediately spend money to win all his money, then this business will not work. I did it.
This business also pays attention to steady flow... To put it bluntly, as long as you have enough capital and don't encounter particularly powerful masters or conmen, if you continue to operate normally, you will definitely make a profit without losing money. And if you lose, it means there is something wrong with the mathematical rules of this world, or you have misunderstood the rules of a certain gambling project you run.
"Bah, what a damn bad luck!" As soon as he came out of the treasure bureau, Sun Ling spat on the ground. It was obvious that losing money made him feel unhappy.
Huang Jun was more open-minded than him. He came up and patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Hey~ Brother Sun, forget it, this money is easy to come by anyway, isn't it?"
What he said is right. Isn't it easy to steal something and cheat it?
“Come on, Brother Sun, let’s change the kiln tonight and seeLet's see if there is a better girl than yesterday. I'll calm you down. Huang Jun pulled Sun Ling and walked in one direction, "I'll inquire about it at noon. There is a good one in the south of the city. Let's go." "
"Well..." Upon hearing this, Sun Ling immediately turned from anger to joy, "Since Brother Huang said so, let's go. ”
After that, the two people walked side by side, laughing and laughing, towards the south of the city.
It was getting late at this time, and there were almost no pedestrians on the street. , they were walking and happened to come to a deserted alley.
After they entered the alley, they saw a figure coming from the opposite side of the alley... Look. The outline is still that of a woman.
If this was an old lady or a fat aunt, they wouldn't take a second look, but the woman still looks like a big girl; although she is still far away. It was dark, so we couldn’t see her face clearly, but looking at her figure and gait, it made people think she was probably a beauty.
Ordinarily... Sun Ling and Huang Jun were going there. There is no need to do anything else while visiting the brothel, but this person... gets carried away easily when he is proud.
In the past, when they were in their hometown, they committed petty thefts. They do it often, but they don't dare to do this kind of thing in the street, because they have done it once or twice, and they were beaten up by the people around them, and then they learned to behave.
But now, after pretending to be "Sun Yixie" and "Huang Donglai" for a long time, they have the illusion that they are really great people.
They have "fame" and "fame". If you have money in your waist, you are no longer a gangster, but an uncle... If the uncles commit a crime, as long as it is not too serious, they can get out of it with money even if they enter the Yamen. They treat them as gangsters. Understood.
At this moment, Sun Ling and Huang Jun were filled with malicious intent; they immediately exchanged glances, and then a lewd smile appeared on their faces. < /p>
Then they quickened their pace and walked toward each other.
As for the girl, she had already walked into the alley and walked about one-third of the distance. When she saw the two people coming across from her, she seemed to sense something was wrong. She quickly stopped, turned around and wanted to run back.
But she couldn't outrun two men with her feet bound. ?
In a blink of an eye, Sun Ling and Huang Jun caught up with him and stopped her one after another.
“Eh? Girl, why are you running? "Sun Ling stopped in front of the other party with a smile, and took advantage of the moonlight to look at the other party's face.
Not to mention, the girl is indeed very beautiful, with a light application of makeup and a light swipe on her face. She looks like she is only ten years old, and her hair is still in the unmarried style. She wears a white turban with a light blue hat on the outside, and there is a ribbon tied around her chest.
Seeing Sun Ling standing in front of her and staring at her, the girl quickly turned away and lowered her head, trying to turn away from him.As a result, he bumped into Huang Jun's arms again.
"Ha! Girl, look at this little road." Huang Jun also burst into laughter, and moved towards the person, and he was about to use his hands and feet.
"You...you...what do you want to do?" The girl's eyes flashed, she looked extremely scared, and her voice was very low.
These thieves, the more timid they meet, the more courageous they become.
"Hey...girl, don't get me wrong." Sun Ling also approached the other party and responded with a smile, "We thought it was getting dark today, girl, you are alone in such a secluded place. I'm afraid you are in danger, so I want to protect you."
"Yes, yes." Huang Jun also said, "Don't be afraid, girl... My name is Huang Donglai, and this is my brother Sun Yi. "Xie, you can go and find out. We are both famous young knights in the world, and we are definitely not bad people."
Although these two guys have been pretending to be Shuangxue for a short time, they are only one person. It's not the church day yet, but they are already very used to calling themselves Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai. Even in private, they no longer call each other by their real names. Therefore, when making such self-introductions, their faces have long since changed. My heart didn't beat, even if I blurted out the name, it was still a false name.
"Eh? Really?" Unexpectedly, after the girl heard Huang Jun's words, her next sentence turned out to be, "Are you Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai?"
When she said this, the fear and shyness on her face disappeared, and turned into an expression of surprise, and her tone and voice were a little higher.
Sun Ling and Huang Jun were stunned when they saw this scene.
"Uh...uh, yes, it's true." Sun Ling hesitated for a moment and replied truthfully.
"That's great!" After hearing this, the girl continued with a smile on her face, "The little girl has heard of the names of the two young heroes for a long time, and she admires them very much. Today I have them." See, he is indeed a talented person. "
"Ah? Ah... um, is that so?" Huang Jun was a bit confused when he saw the other party's sudden enthusiasm, "Thank you, girl, thank you..."
At this time, the girl showed a shy, even seductive look, and continued: "You two young heroes, although this is the first time you meet, this little girl has an unsympathetic character. Please, I don't know if I should tell you or not?"
"Say! Just say it." Sun Ling looked at her with eyes that felt like his bones were shaking, and he answered quickly.
Huang Jun was not willing to lag behind. He quickly grabbed half a step, walked around in front of the girl, and squeezed Sun Ling to the side, as if he was afraid that the girl wouldn't be able to see his face: "Yes. Yes, you can ask for anything, and I, Huang Donglai, will do my best to help!"
After receiving this reply, the girl was not in a hurry.
She stood there with her eyebrows slightly furrowed, as if she was hesitating in her heart, and then said: "Well...that's it...the little girl sent her father to the hospital for treatment today, so she came back late. Yes, the place where I live is remote and I am the only one at home.So I can only walk alone at night..."
She paused, blushed, and glanced at the two impostors: "Just now I thought I met a bad person. I didn't expect to be lucky enough to meet these two young heroes... In this case, I wonder if I can ask the two young heroes to send me home. If you two are willing to agree..." She paused for another half second and spoke in a more delicate tone. She muttered in a low voice, "When I get home, I will thank you two sincerely. ”
