Siheyuan: I am a big capitalist after the founding of the People's Republic of China
Chapter 111: Money lights the sky lantern, power hangs the death card
(Some people always say that the protagonist’s IQ is not online.
The main character of this book is the biggest poison. I really can't help but want to spoil the plot.
In the protagonist's previous life, without any family background, or education, he was able to own a house, a car, and a career within the 20th ring road of the former Beijing city in less than 4 years.
He has achieved all this before the age of 40. How could he achieve all this without brains and schemes?
You think from the perspective of the founding emperors of the past dynasties. How did those emperors view the aristocratic families?
Pay attention, the protagonist is not an ordinary person. His family is a family with hundreds of years of history. Family, family. Think about it yourself.
I won’t say much more, as any further discussion would be spoilers.
If you like it, you can follow it. The answers you want are in the back. If you don't like it, you can choose the space you like to read. It's a brainless and cool article.
From the very beginning, I wrote this novel because I was fed up with those spaces, golden fingers, and brainless and cool novels.
I didn’t expect that so many brothers and sisters would like to watch it, which is why I have persisted until now.
I hope it's worthy of brothers and sisters who like to read this kind of novels like me.)
The book continues above.
Li Zihang looked at the fierce battle below.
I inevitably felt a little uncomfortable, but I endured the discomfort. I sat back on the sofa and asked my own questions.
"Grandpa, what does the wooden sign below mean? Are you going to have a life-and-death duel just for the sake of fighting?"
The old man ignored his question.
He signaled Huo Xiangu to explain with his eyes.
Seeing the old man's eyes, Huo Xiangu immediately began to explain to Li Zihang.
The arena is still being cleaned downstairs.
"Then I will tell you the origin of this life and death card."
"When the Crescent Hotel was first built, people would often get angry at auctions over an item, often fighting inside the venue and killing and robbing outside."
"If the two sides are evenly matched, the battle will be bloody. If one side is weak, the whole family will be wiped out."
"There was a period of time when two big names were fighting over a piece of auction goods."
"Hundreds of people died, both openly and covertly. There were bloody fights on the streets from time to time."
"The situation became increasingly serious, and the matter was known to the highest level officials in the government."
"So the government took action. They arrested those who should be arrested, and killed those who should be killed."
“Everyone who was invited to the auction was implicated.
Several important figures were invited to have tea by the highest-level leaders of the court."
When Huo Xian Gu mentioned being invited to have tea, she stole a glance at the old man. After a pause, she continued.
"Many others were detained for a while. Later, both parties involved in the fight were punished."
"Then the matter slowly died down. Later, the people behind the Crescent Hotel and several bigwigs who were invited for tea at the time signed an agreement together."
"We've come up with a rule called lighting sky lanterns. If two parties at an auction both like the same thing and vent their anger, they can hang a lantern at the door of the private room."
“The person who hangs the lantern, no matter how much the other party bids, will be the one who lights the lantern to win the auction item in the end.”
"Of course, you can't just make a random bid. Before you make a bid, you have to give the corresponding money and assets to the Crescent Hotel for evaluation."
"Then you can bid. Even if the item is only worth ten big yellow croakers, but the item is bid up to a sky-high price, the lantern lighter still has to pay the highest bid. Later, this kind of lantern was jokingly called the sky-high price lantern. As time went by, it was called the sky lantern."
"So later, when someone lit a sky lantern, someone under the sky deliberately did something bad. He kept bidding a high price, causing the person who lit the sky lantern to suffer heavy losses."
"Because of this, many people were killed."
"When they saw that things were not going well, the bigwigs who had signed the agreement sat down to discuss and came up with a rule of life and death cards.
And notify all the invited people at that time. If they violate the rules, they will be hunted down and suppressed by them until they die.
The Life and Death card refers to when two parties are fighting, or want something but don't want to be treated like a fool. It can also be used to resolve grudges.
So, the two sides played a life-or-death game. The winner didn't have to pay a penny, and the loser bought the item and gave it to the winner. He also had to pay the other side for medicine.
If one party does not dare to put up a bid to fight, then just buy the item and give it to the other party. Then treat the other party to tea and call him master.
During that time, there was a popular saying among people in the circle.
The rich light sky lanterns, the powerful hang death signs.
The grudges on the field are settled on the field, and he is still the boss outside. "
Old man, look, the arena below is almost ready.
He raised his hand, called the secret guard, and whispered a few words in his ear. The secret guard nodded and left the box.
After a while, the secret guard appeared downstairs, said a few words to Liu Dawai and left.
Huo Xiangu had just finished explaining the origin of the life and death cards when the third life and death battle began.
This time, Liu Dawai and the young man with the Miao Dao are on this side.
The other side sent out a middle-aged bald man with a long centipede scar on his face and two crescent daggers in his hands.
This time, both sides were more cautious in their battle, looking for each other's weaknesses.
While there was a tense life-and-death standoff on the ring downstairs, people upstairs were chatting in a relaxed manner.
Li Zihang raised another question in his mind.
"Grandpa, do you know something? That's why you bet on Liu Dawai to win?"
The old man looked at Li Zihang deeply and said.
"Grandson will teach you another principle."
"The lowest class, gambling and fighting. The dealers cheat, steal and steal. Gamblers, they bet on the mentality of getting rich overnight."
"The middle nine classes gamble. The dealer plays with information and connections. The gambler gambles with interpersonal relationships and interests. Of course, those prodigals are excluded."
"In the upper nine classes, gambling, the dealer plays a role in making rules. In just a few words, the rules of an industry and the distribution of benefits are established. What the gambler is betting on is the seat where he can have a say."
"I know both parties in this gambling fight. I know exactly what cards they have. This is the network information of Zhongjiuliu."
"Liu Dawai, this man, in the early years of the Republic of China, relied on his ruthlessness to establish a strong position in South City."
"Later, he recruited a group of equally reckless accomplices. They made a name for themselves in the city."
"At that time, Liu Dawai relied on his brothers to start the escort business."
"At that time, the country was besieged on all sides and drifting in the wind and rain. There were foreigners, warlords, robbers, bandits, and Japanese devils. All kinds of forces were intertwined and complicated."
"But he still managed to run the escort agency successfully."
"For ordinary businessmen, let alone running an escort agency business, it would be difficult for them to deal with all kinds of forces, but he navigates through them with ease. This can't be achieved by just being ruthless or risking one's life."
"And Ma Yuangu, this guy, is a second-generation rich kid. He relies entirely on the elderly in his family for support. Tell me, who will win and who will lose."
"Just wait and see~ After today, there will be no Ma family name in Sijiu City~"
"Grandson, if you encounter this kind of thing in the future and you don't know the other party's background, lower your head and admit your mistakes. Don't force yourself to stand out just to save face."
“If you lose your face, you can still earn it back. If you lose your money, you can still earn it back.”
"But if you lose your family fortune, you lose your life. Then you have nothing left."
The three men, Gou Wuye, were listening on the side.
At this moment, I sighed in my heart. The old man is worthy of the title of a great hero.
Not to mention the rich and powerful, even ordinary people sometimes fight to the point of bleeding just for a little face.
However, the old man taught his successor not to act on impulse and to let go of his pride when it was time to do so.
While they were chatting here, several rounds of fighting had already been going on in the ring below.
I saw a bald man holding a dagger in both hands.
Like a cobra, every attack is fierce and poisonous.
If the attack misses, immediately retreat to defend.
The one holding the Miao Dao stood sideways in a horse stance, holding the Miao Dao with both hands, with the tip of the knife pointing directly at the bald head.
Every time he could use the tip of the knife to deflect the opponent's dagger.
After a few rounds, the bald man was a little anxious in his attack.
An inch longer, an inch stronger. This was vividly demonstrated in the battle of cold weapons.
At this time, the bald man attacked from the side.
With the curved knife in his right hand, he slid in front of the opponent along with the Miao Dao.
The friction between the dagger and the Miao Dao produced sparks.
With the scimitar in his left hand, he thrust it straight into the opponent's heart.
The man holding the Miao Dao did not dodge or evade, but simply squatted down ten centimeters.
The scimitar pierced directly into his shoulder.
Then he threw a side kick, hitting the bald man in the chest.
Then he used the Miao Dao, held the blade horizontally, and swung the knife directly to cut off half of the opponent's arm.
The bald man thrust a knife into the shoulder of the Miao Dao youth.
A knife and a severed arm fell onto the ring.
I lost my daggers in both hands and had no power to attack.
The Miao Dao youth didn't give him any chance.
The sword technique was as fast as lightning, and the bald head was chopped off, and he dodged left and right.
However, due to the broken arm, he lost too much blood in a short time, and his body could not keep up with the brain's reaction.
He was stabbed several times, the most fatal of which caused his internal organs to spill out of his body.
The bald man looked at the young man standing opposite him.
He said with a sad smile, "That's cruel enough." Then he fell to the ground and died.
The young man with Miao Dao sword looked at the corpse on the ring.
Said something.
"If there isn't some important person who wants to see some blood and gore, then you are worthy of getting me hurt?"
After saying that, he turned around and walked off the stage.
Liu Dawai's side looked at the Miao Dao young man who had left the arena.
Hurry forward and treat his wounds.
On the ring, life and death come and go, and off the ring, the winners celebrate with each other, while the losers curse and swear.
Ma Yuangu saw his men die.
With a look of despair on his face, he collapsed on a chair under the stage.
Liu Dawai, looking at his behavior, did not make any sarcastic remarks.
He just gave the other person a cold look.
The referee came on stage to announce the result.
"Liu Dawai wins~"
Then someone was asked to come on stage to clean up.
This life-and-death competition is destined to be decided by the old man's bet.
The arena downstairs was being cleaned up, but upstairs it was a completely different scene.
