The strange case of the demon book

"Dong dong dong dong!" The gongs and drums sounded, and the crowd at the lion dance competition on the lion dance field in the extremely cold winter was excited. Everyone cheered for the lion dance team they bet on.The scene was so lively that it turned the sky upside down.The gamblers who bet on the outside would come here once a year. If they won, they might have the money they didn’t have to do this year. If they lost, their pants would be pawned.There are more than 300 lion dance teams participating in this year's lion dance competition, and some of them came from Foshan and Chaozhou. These lion dance teams are all set up for the warlord Long Dudu and the Cantonese merchants' guild hall. Here comes the bonus.Long Dudu and Cantonese Chamber of Commerce each contributed half of the money to support the lion dance competition, and the prize money alone amounted to more than 1 silver dollars.

The stingy Long Dudu was willing to pay the money because of the instigation of Cantonese businessmen. The leader of the Cantonese Chamber of Commerce told Long Dudu that Guangzhou City will hold a lion dance competition every year. The weather is good in the year, the people are healthy and prosperous, and the auspicious auspicious sign that the lion dance can drive away evil spirits and avoid harm, so the dragon governor willingly paid for it.In the past, when the Qing government was still there, the Qing government and the Cantonese Chamber of Commerce held this lion dance competition together, but you have to take it on when you brought down the Qing government.Although Dudu Long is not afraid of Cantonese businessmen, the influence of Cantonese merchants in Guangzhou is still very large. It is a happy event to hold such an event in the first year of the year, and the governor of the dragon is also willing to pay for this money. A few days after more than 200 lion dance teams competed, at last, what everyone never expected was that the two teams in the finals turned out to be the lion dance team led by Wei Zong from the Police Department; the other lion dance team was from Guangdong The lion dance team led by Chen Suisheng, the youngest Cantonese businessman in the country gentry, known by everyone as the little boss.

The Lion Dance Team of the Police Department asked Wei Zong to temporarily give him a domineering name, "Tiger Team".Their improvised black lion dance team broke through the siege to reach the final, which shocked many people's jaws.

And the other "Golden Gong Lion Dance Team" represented by Chen Suisheng, this golden lion dance team is the lion dance team under the third uncle. team.

Everyone is optimistic about the Golden Gong Lion Dance Team, and everyone is optimistic that the little boss will kill the third-rate team of the Police Department.Therefore, on the periphery, almost everyone bet on the winning side on the Golden Gong Lion Dance Team.

And the day before the final—in the Police Department, Wei Zong asked the patrolmen to bet, of course, betting that the Police Department would win.When Wei Zong said that, everyone was silent for a while, then they all grinned and placed their bets.

The boss has said so, even if the opponent is his object and partner, he will not give in, otherwise those who bet will have to eat the cabbage and radish in the first half of the year.If they win, hahahaha, not only will there be a reward of more than 1 yuan, but they will also receive a sum of money they won from betting.

After all, this is a guaranteed business, so everyone bet their wealth on Wei Zong and Huo Wencai.

Yes, Huo Wencai.Huo Wen is Wei Zong's partner, dancing the lion's tail.After receiving everyone's attention, Huo Wen was really sweating and under great pressure. If he lost, the patrolmen of the police department would have to chew him out.So this battle must be won.

As for why Wei Zong approached Huo Wencai, because Huo Wencai was good at kung fu, at least standing on the plum blossom pile was very stable.It took a few days to practice and then went to the competition. After the lion dance competition, I didn't expect to be able to fight to the end.Not to mention others, even the patrol officers of the police department were also very surprised. They thought Wei Zong was just going for fun, but they didn't expect Wei Zong and Huo Wen to persist until the end, and it was obvious from Wei Zong's expression that he was aiming at The prize money went, and there was no pressure on his face to face the final opponent last year's No. [-] Golden Gong Lion Dancing Team.

Obviously, Wei Zong was determined to win the first place, completely ignoring Huo Wencai's own pressure on himself.

Huo Wencai is really suffering and can't tell, their opponents in the decisive battle are his junior brother Chen Suisheng and a senior brother who is very skilled on a plum blossom pile under the third uncle.Huo Wen was afraid that he would not win, but Wei Zong didn't have any pressure on his face.

Now dragging the entire police department into the water can only win.If you don't win, just wait to eat the radish and cabbage from the previous year.

Huo Wencai really wanted to know what Wei Zong was thinking.

Regarding this matter, Ma Wenrui patted Huo Wencai on the shoulder with a smiling face: "Brother, come on."

It's really impossible not to work hard. If you lose, you have to eat me.

Huo Wencai wiped his sweat with his hands.

Now, at the beginning of [-], the Guangzhou City Lion Dance Competition finally came to the decisive day.All the people in Guangzhou who have nothing to do have come to the lion dance field to watch the competition. Every year, the lion dance competition is a day worth celebrating for the people of Guangzhou City. The lion dance competition means that the new year is coming, and the Spring Festival is not far away. Well, the atmosphere will be very lively from the beginning of the AD to the lunar year.Therefore, the lion dance competition is a very important event for the people of Guangzhou City.

This also derived the biggest bet in Guangzhou City.

This kind of bet that can't be cheated, the win or loss is willing to be won by both parties, no wonder who can only be willing to bet and admit defeat.

There are nine floors outside that all bet on the Golden Gong Lion Dance Team to win the first place, and the remaining floor bets on the Police Department to win.Now, the gongs and drums sounded, and the lion dance competition began.The fight on the stage was very fierce and no one would give in to the other, as long as they won Caiqing, they would win.

In the audience, almost all cheered for the Golden Gong Lion Dancing Team.The men of the police department also cheered for the Huba team.

The audience at the front were warlords, Cantonese businessmen and some powerful people. This lively and festive atmosphere made everyone smile.

Those foreigners who came to join in the fun were stunned to see the wonderful fight between plum blossom piles and high piles.Earl Arthur Kirkland, the British envoy who was invited, also made a bet that the police department would win.

Arthur Kirkland's golden eyes watched the fierce fight between the black lion and the golden lion on the tall plum pile.Regarding Wei Zong, from Europe to East Asia, Arthur Kirkland saw at a glance that Wei Zong was a high-ranking person, not only a high-ranking person, Arthur Kirkland was fascinated by the evil and bloody aura that emanated from him.After he brought the circus to Guangzhou City, Wei Zong set up guards to capture the puppet circus. This was the first time he had stumbled in so many years. The next stop will be Shanghai Beach, Tokyo and Beijing City.But not only did he fail, but he also discovered "something" that interested him in Guangzhou City, which is why he changed his identity and stayed in Guangzhou City.

"Hehe, what about the real and interesting places and people..."

Long Dudu was very happy to see the two lion dance teams fighting on the plum blossom pile. Some people in their upper class knew that Wei Zong and Chen Suisheng were a pair, and it was interesting that they became opponents in the lion dance competition.Those who know Wei Zong and Chen Suisheng still remember that during the military government period, the French on Shamian Island colluded with the Six Fingers Li of the Triad to kidnap the little boss’ younger brother Chen Suiwen and set up a frame to blackmail the little boss, trying to force the little boss to take out the winery as a business. In the end, Chen Suisheng forced Liuzhi Li to participate in the lion dance competition. Liuzhi Li invited the lion dance team from Foshan, and Chen Suisheng went up to fight them with Wei Zong and Chen Suisheng. The method almost crippled the little boss's knees.This result is self-evident, of course Wei Zong and the little boss won.In the end, Wei Zong went to Liuzhili, but Liuzhili couldn't hide before confessing the person behind him. (The story of Wei Zong and Chen Suisheng is in another article "Suisheng". The protagonists of this article are Wei Zong and Chen Suisheng. If you are interested, you can find it in my column.)

Liu Zhili also saw the money, and that's when the confrontation between Cantonese businessmen and Shamian Island happened later, cutting off the supply of materials on Shamian Island and forcing the French on Shamian Island to negotiate.

At the beginning, this matter was talked about with great interest, and those foreigners also had a day of frustration.If they don't sit down and negotiate, Wei Zong will continue to charge them with crimes and let his soldiers block the bridge to and from Shamian Island.

No one expected that Wei Zong and Chen Suisheng would be opponents in this year's lion dance competition.Everyone knows the little boss, he has some skills, and the skills in the lion dance competition look much better than those in the police department.And the third-rate team of the Police Department really exceeded everyone's expectations.

The audience was noisy.

"drink!"

"The Golden Gong Lion Dancing Team will win!"

"The Huba team will definitely win and beat the Golden Gong Lion team!" The men in the police department shouted loudly.

All of Chen Suisheng's relatives and friends from the audience came, and the third uncle frowned as he watched the two fighting lions on the stage.

This Wei Zong really wants to rob Ah Sheng!But this is a fair game, and it depends on each player's ability to win or lose.

The two lions on the plum blossom pile come and go, and the two sides refuse to give in to each other.Wei Zong's black lion's head held against Chen Suisheng, and Chen Suisheng stepped on the black lion's head with both feet to use his body to lightly jump up to bite off the lottery head, but Wei Zong's legs swiped the golden lion's tail and Chen Suisheng's partner The senior brother swept down, and that senior brother dropped Chen Suisheng on the plum blossom pile, and Chen Suisheng was forced to give up the green picking in his mouth.The senior brother turned around and stepped back on the high plum blossom pile, Chen Suisheng started to attack Wei Zong with both feet.Wei Zong smiled:

"Ah Sheng, I will definitely win this competition."

"If you want to win, let's see if you have the ability!" Chen Suisheng said.As he said that, the wind under his feet forced the black lion back again and again, and the audience in the audience bet on the winner of the Golden Gong Lion Dancing Team cheered.

"Don't you know what I'm capable of?" Wei Zong was still saying insincere words at this time, and Chen Suisheng's face twitched when he said these words.This Wei Zong's face is still so thick.

Huo Wen, who was behind Wei Zong, was miserable. They would definitely win this match, and the brothers in the police department bet all their money on him and Wei Zong.Even himself, he also put the money in.My cold junior brother has no intention of giving in, and I have to work hard to deal with it.

Wei Zong held onto Chen Suisheng's feet and approached Chen Suisheng, covering himself with the lion's head, and Chen Suisheng said in a volume that only he and Chen Suisheng could hear, "I'll press your feet tonight."

In the past few days of the competition, Wei Zong has been pressing Chen Suisheng's feet.He couldn't bear Chen Suisheng's suffering.Although Chen Suisheng is a responsible and assertive man, in Wei Zong's heart, his family's Asheng is ranked first.

"Up to you." Chen Suisheng replied lightly, and Wei Zong leaned over to kiss him on the lips as soon as he finished speaking.Chen Suisheng raised the corners of his lips and smiled slightly.After the two approaching lions separated, they fought fiercely.The scene was so powerful that the people in the audience were dumbfounded.

The moment the black lion bit Caiqing, the audience went crazy.The people in the police department yelled and shouted, and the loser who put all the money in collapsed to the point of crying.

"I didn't expect Wei Zong to really win." Even Dudu Long was very surprised.
