The Secret Code of Monsters.

Chapter 864: The Last Deal

Just as Rose bent over and walked around the corner.

A narrow alley.

The shirtless thugs lit the stove and clinked cups, drinking jug after jug ​​of wine from porcelain bowls.

The women, full of beauty, leaned in the arms of their men. At midnight, when the gambling houses suddenly closed, they were drunk and never concealed their voices - this street, even the whole town, had to bend down obediently to listen to their voices.

The dog meat was rolling in the oven, and the shiny ox-horn knife was placed on a bamboo mat with a ghost head painted on it.

She has a black braid around her neck and a greasy face.

"The county magistrate is nothing!"

The dark-faced man was yelling while chewing a strip of meat.

He was sitting to the side, only one step shorter than the silent man in the middle, but his voice was the loudest.

"If you ask me, I'll do it!"

He glared with his tiger eyes and swept over like a hammer, and those who were facing him lowered their eyes and remained silent.

This man, called Zuodihu, is the second-in-command of the gambling house and also the right-hand man of Guitou Liu, Boss Liu - the other side is a sleazy guy who only cares about flirting with girls and drinking and going out with them, called Hua Daozi, who is famous for his ruthless and brutal actions.

It is said that he once skinned his wife, children and elders and presented them to Boss Liu in exchange for a "quota" to serve as an envoy.

Quota.

That is, a chance to truly come into contact with 'magic'.

"Save your energy and stop acting like a rebel all day long."

Hua Daozi took the wine from another mouth with his mouth, then tilted his head back and let the girl on his other leg wipe it clean with her granary.

"Fuck you! You've been looking forward to the smell of fish all day long—"

Zuodihu was very straightforward and smashed the water bowl with a bang: "Last time they wanted to kidnap the young lady! You and Fengpi* tried to stop them! If I were to tell you, you would demand a ransom after kidnapping her, and bury her after the ransom is paid. How many people would know that?"

Hua Daozi looked disdainful.

He respected Guitou Liu and admired Madam Feng, but he looked down on this stupid donkey who tied and killed people all day long.

Do you really think they have had a lot of good days?
"If you mess with the county magistrate, your head will be hung on the flagpole in two days." Hua Daozi took the jade cigarette holder with his mouth, took a few puffs, and his eyes were blurred: "If we really mess with the court officials, we will be traitors. Do you think Chang Gengsi is easy to fool?"

When it comes to Changgeng Si, Zuodihu's eyes are full of contempt: "You boast about everything, but how many times can you survive under my sword?"

Hua Daozi sneered and said nothing.

Guitou Liu put down his wine bowl heavily.

For an instant.

The room was quiet.

"I caught up with a good fool. It's too late to support him."

Guitou Liu has an extremely decent face: square mouth, wide nose, sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes, slightly dark skin, and a steady and powerful voice.

Even when sitting, you can tell that he has a big stature.

"But you have to offer him a sacrifice."

Guitou Liu slowly struck a light, pulled out the pipe from his sleeve, and lit it by clamping his neck.

The room remained silent.

I heard him slurping, and the food went around in my stomach a few times before being vomited out.

No one dared to interrupt him.

"But this pretense won't last long."

This group of people knew exactly what kind of person the county magistrate was. Ever since the White Lotus rebels had been running rampant in the countryside and towns, they had grown from a few men in groups to a force as powerful as insects that covered the sky and the sun.

If you were the county magistrate, what would you choose?
He is upright and honest, using a few men who are always thinking about women, using the tip of a knife as a crutch, and relying on his weak legs to uphold justice?

Or, should we make some concessions and keep the risk within a certain range?

This is what the county magistrate himself said.

Keeping the danger within a certain range - not causing harm to the countryside - can be considered a great good deed.

"To be humble? I think he is just afraid of death!"

Zuodihu said contemptuously.

Guitou Liu knew, of course, that the county magistrate was afraid of death and did not want to offend this group of "White Lotus rebels". He was afraid that after calling on the Changgeng Division to wipe them out, he would die in the dark night a few months later, and his entire family's heads would be strung together like gourds.

He studied hard for years, and was unwilling to give the candlelight to anyone except himself. When he was poor and destitute, he was unwilling to share a sip of water with the villagers. What should he do after he became the county magistrate?

"…After all, we are not the White Lotus rebels, brother."

Hua Daozi embraced the girl, but his voice became deeper.

Pretending to be a member of the White Lotus rebel party.

The names of their gambling house, such as Guitou Liu, Huadaozi and Zuodihu, came from this.

The thugs who were not afraid of swords and guns could not scare the high-ranking official.

"That's why I said that this pretext can't last too long. The incident in Nandu has happened, and a big change is imminent. Mr. Feng is right." Guitou Liu tapped his knee with his index finger, and a fine line appeared between his eyebrows as he thought about it. He muttered, "If I continue to enjoy myself like this, I will really die a miserable death..."

Click.

The wine bowl was broken.

The tiger sitting on the ground stood up and drew his sword!

"Damn it!" the fierce man shouted angrily, "He keeps saying disgusting and weird things all day long! I told you he should have had his arms and legs broken!"

"sit down."

"Brother..."

"sit."

Guitou Liu's voice was indifferent.

Miss Feng joined them after they became powerful, and compared to their right-hand men, she is certainly not "close" - but Guitou Liu also has some ability to "command people" and knows that he cannot expect everyone to be loyal.

As long as he has something the other party wants in his hand, there is no need to worry about him not being obedient.

"Mr. Feng has told me that after the Nandu Incident, there's no telling what the rebels will do. If we take on this title, don't we really have to join them?"

He glanced at the angry man who was panting, and his voice became a little softer.

"I have money and women. It's time to change places..."

"Poor scholar," Zuodihu snorted coldly, "Change place? That's easy to say. If we really change place, we will have to start all over again."

Hua Daozi teased: "If you don't change the place, I guess I'll really have to start from your head."

Zuodihu was about to get angry again, but was suppressed by Guitou Liuxu's palm.

"Once this deal is done, you two will entrust the Shuazi to someone else. We will go in the opposite direction... the farther from Nandu the better."

Guitou Liu thought about it again and again, but still didn't want to get involved in this mess.

They were just a bunch of mortals who had acquired some magic skills, doing things like robbing people and killing people. With the blessing of God, they had a place to stay, and they also caught a county magistrate who knew what was going on. Under the banner of "White Lotus", they made a lot of money - in just one year, they had enough money in their pockets to last them the rest of their lives.

Mr. Feng is right.

If you don't leave now, you'll really lose your head.

"Is there anything wrong with the third child?"

Having said this, Guitou Liu asked another question.

They sent out a few experienced men tonight just for this last deal.

Foreigner.

Foreigners are so precious.

Especially those three pretty women.

"I want the blue-eyed one," the fierce man shouted gruffly when he mentioned the woman, "I want good fortune!"

Hua Daozi said sarcastically: "What does wealth have to do with that fucking Bi Yan'er? You ruined the goods a few times before, and almost made me die at the dock."

Zuodihu smiled foolishly: "You are almost the same as that Feng woman."

Two men quarreled over a 'woman', one wanted a blue-eyed one, the other refused to give her one - they both wanted the same girl and treated the other two like trash.

Not to mention the eyes.

Gray hair is ominous enough.

The remaining one has a skin like mud.

"Stupid as a pig! Especially the yellow mud skinned woman, what do you know?" Hua Daozi curled his lips: "I have handled many girls, let me teach you a lesson."
