Chương 111: Tie Yuniang

Hundred Victories Casino. Hearing Peng Gu actually accuse him of cheating, Grandee Song was displeased. Extremely displeased! I did cheat, but did you catch me?! This is a naked insult to Grandee Song's gambling ethics! Song Que sneered coldly:"With hundreds of eyes watching clearly, I sat here and didn't touch a single thing! You say I cheated? How?! You motherf*cker, try cheating like that and show me! Or is it that you can't afford to lose and want to renege on the debt?!"

"You... you...!" Peng Gu pointed at Grandee Song, trembling, unable to speak. If he had found evidence, he would have had this kid chopped to pieces long ago! But looking at the suspicious gazes of the surrounding crowd, Old Peng knew this matter had blown up today. Old He, acting as if waking from a dream, stared at Song Que in horror:"How did you do it?!" Giving him an unfathomably profound smile, the Saint of Gamblers Song began to loudly press his advantage:"The result is out! Stop talking nonsense and pay up!"

The spectators, never fearing a situation blowing out of proportion, wouldn't pass up a good show. They loudly joined the clamor, demanding the casino pay up! Every one of them had been cleaned out at these tables at least once. Now that they had the chance to see the house suffer a loss, they were naturally thrilled and wanted to see how the Hundred Victories Casino would handle it. Losing nearly ten thousand taels in a single day—even the Golden Snake Gang would feel the sting!

Peng Gu's expression fluctuated between dark and pale. He looked around for someone to help, but there was no one. Boss, you're the highest authority here! Who are you looking for?! A group of lackeys held their breath, staring at their feet and screaming internally. After hesitating for a while, Old Peng gritted his teeth and shouted:"Silence!" Everyone wanted to see what he would do, so they cooperatively crossed their arms and watched in silence.

"It is entirely justified to pay when one loses a bet! We will naturally honor that. But the casino doesn't have that much cash on hand today. Allow us a day to prepare, and we'll bring it to you tomorrow. How about that?" F ck off! * What a clever calculation! People as smart as you used to be everywhere in my hometown; now the grass on their graves is as tall as a person! Grandee Song sneered coldly.

Completely ignoring Peng Gu's threatening glare, he said contemptuously:"If you don't have it, don't you know how to go get it?! Don't tell me the Golden Snake Gang is so poor they can't even produce 10, 000 taels?!

""Don't think you can just sweep this under the rug! If I don't receive the full amount today, I'm not going anywhere! If I wait until tomorrow when there are no witnesses, who the hell knows if you'll just swallow my money?!"

"That's right, that's right! It's just 10, 000 taels; don't tell me the Golden Snake Gang can't afford it?!"

"Does this mean if we lose money gambling in the future, we can also take a few days to pay it off?!"

"I said it long ago! It's safer to go to the Golden Deer Casino! This place has no class at all!" Seeing Old Peng so blatantly trying to default on the debt, the patrons immediately refused to let it slide. The situation gradually began to lose control.

"What exactly do you want?!" Peng Gu stared at Song Que with bloodshot eyes, wishing he could snap his neck. He secretly swore that one day he would definitely flay this brat alive and pull out his tendons! BAM!! Grandee Song wasn't having it! He slammed the table, stood up, and roared loudly:"What?! You motherf*cker, asking me what I want?! Didn't you bring this upon yourself?! Pay up immediately! Everyone is busy; no one has time to dawdle with you!"

"You're courting death!" For someone to be so arrogant on his turf, how could Peng Gu tolerate it?! Enraged, he immediately prepared to attack!

"What? You can't afford to lose, so you want to fight?!" Grandee Song simply didn't care about him. He crossed his arms and looked at him with contempt. Glancing at the strange gazes of the surrounding patrons, Peng Gu didn't dare act rashly. Truthfully, once their reputation was ruined, the Hundred Victories Casino and the Golden Snake Gang would lose far more than a mere 10, 000 taels!

But if he took 10, 000 taels to pay this guy, putting aside whether the gang's higher-ups would accept it, even if they did, it would be difficult for him to keep his current position! Thinking of this, his eyes burned with fury as he glared coldly at Dong Thai, who was hiding in a corner with an ashen face. If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation. Just as Peng Gu was hesitating, several people walked in through the door. Leading the group were two men and a woman.

Seeing the tense atmosphere in the hall, the woman in the middle spoke up:"What is going on here?" Seeing the arrivals, Old Peng acted as if he had found his backing and shouted joyfully:"Eldest Miss!" Song Que was also surprised. He actually recognized all three of these people! The two men were Wu Fan and that Young Master Xu! The woman was the daughter of the Golden Snake Gang's Gang Master—Tie Yuniang!

"Brother Fan, hello there!" Seeing Wu Fan look over in confusion, Song Que smiled and nodded at him.

"Brother Song, what is happening here?"

"Just some trivial nonsense, nothing much," Grandee Song shook his head dismissively, then returned his attention to Peng Gu and the young woman in front of him. Seeing that Song Que didn't want to explain clearly, Wu Fan frowned in displeasure. Noticing Young Master Xu looking over questioningly, he proceeded to introduce Song Que's background to him in detail, not even hiding the matter of the manor transfer....

"Elder Peng, what is happening here?" Tie Yuniang frowned in displeasure and asked.

"Miss, it's like this..." Peng Gu immediately stepped to her side and recounted the story from beginning to end. With so many people present, he didn't dare embellish it, simply stating the facts.

"Are you the one saying our Golden Snake Gang can't afford to lose?" Having heard her subordinate's report, Tie Yuniang turned, glared, raised her chin, and questioned Song Que. She really looks like an arrogant peacock! Grandee Song found it amusing:"How I say it isn't important! How you handle today's matter is what's important! Everyone is watching!" Mother of God, he's so handsome!!! Finally getting a clear look at Grandee Song's face, the little girl's eyes instantly turned into heart shapes!

Originally wanting to throw a tantrum, Yuniang's face flushed bright red upon seeing the handsome, sharply-defined face of the beautiful man before her. She hurriedly swallowed the insults she was about to hurl and parted her lips, speaking with feigned gentleness:"One must accept the consequences of their actions! It is merely a few thousand taels of silver. Rest assured, Young Master; our Golden Snake Gang is not so destitute as to lack that small sum!" Crunch.

(Sound of a peanut shell breaking/dreams shattering). Peng Gu, who had just felt a glimmer of hope, was knocked senseless by his Eldest Miss's sudden combo! He stood there, completely dumbfounded and confused!

"Men, return to the gang and fetch the money for this Young Master!" Tie Yuniang turned her head and ordered the guards behind her.

"Yes, Miss!"

"But, Miss...!" Snapping out of his daze, Old Peng wanted to remind her, but was ultimately shooed away in disgust by Tie Yuniang.... The two men accompanying the young woman were truly left speechless by Tie Yuniang's lovesick expression! Wu Fan shot a strange glance at Young Master Xu beside him. Who in the city didn't know that Xu Shisheng had been pursuing her for a long time?! Young Master Xu's expression was uglier than if he had eaten sh*t!

But his composure training was decent; he quickly swallowed his displeasure, suppressed the annoyance in his heart, and stepped forward:"Hold on, Yuniang!" Tie Yuniang turned to him in confusion, and Grandee Song also watched to see what this Young Master Xu wanted to do.

"This brother must be Song Que! Brother Wu just mentioned you to me recently, and to think we'd meet today! We truly have fate!"

"Greetings, Young Master Xu. I thank you for parting with your beloved possession the other day." One doesn't slap a smiling face. Grandee Song also politely cupped his hands in greeting.

"It was a minor matter! Brother Song, everyone here is an acquaintance! Why don't you give me some face today and let this matter drop? How about it?" Song Que raised an eyebrow:"I wonder what Young Master Xu means by 'let this matter drop'?" Does this really need to be explained clearly?! Xu Shisheng was displeased but forced a smile and suppressed his anger:"Naturally, I mean letting the matter of the winnings drop! After all, you haven't lost anything, right?"

Hearing him spout this absolute nonsense so seriously, Grandee Song curled his lip. 6, 000 taels of silver! I wonder if this kid could even produce that much, yet he speaks of it so lightly! Furthermore, it sounds like he wants me to return the initial 3, 000 taels I bet as well! Using someone else's money to win favor with a girl—how convenient! Why would Grandee Song care about him? He shook his head indifferently:"I am truly sorry, Young Master Xu. Your face is not worth 9, 000 taels."

The Hundred Victories Casino instantly fell dead silent! Even the sound of everyone's breathing could be heard clearly! To be slapped in the face like this for the first time in Qinghe County, Young Master Xu was stunned for a long time before finally exploding in anger! His chest heaved as he struggled to breathe:"Insolence! Do you know who you are talking to?!"

"Little Song, what kind of behavior is this?! Hurry up and bow to Young Master Xu to apologize!" Wu Fan also reprimanded from the side. Grandee Song sneered disdainfully:"Don't think of yourself as something so high and mighty! Aside from relying on your uncle, the County Magistrate Xu, you are nothing!" This world was just that direct! Unlike his past life, where commoners were used to being oppressed and ridden over, this life was a high-martial world!

As long as commoners didn't hide in backward, remote places like his hometown of Giant Willow Village, who didn't know a few martial arts moves?! Martial artists had vigorous blood and Qi! If they disagreed, they fought! Who cared if you were an official, a noble, or royalty?! Kill first, talk later! At worst, they'd just pack up and run! Later on, if they managed to cultivate highly advanced martial arts, the Imperial Court would even step forward to recruit them and wipe the slate clean!

There were many such examples! Not to mention far away, right here in the Southern Region, Ma Zhenxiong, the Vice Alliance Leader of the Jiujiang Alliance—known as the 'Nine-Headed Saber Demon'—was exactly such a person! According to Old Nie's stories, for unknown reasons, this person had previously slaughtered the entire family of an official! Only after an arrest warrant was issued did he go into hiding and join the river bandits!

Later, relying on his mastery of the Nine-Headed Saber technique, he shocked Jiangdong! The Imperial Court had no choice but to hold their noses and recruit him! Now, he brazenly sat in the position of Vice Alliance Leader, and no one dared to gossip or criticize him! Therefore, as long as one had strength, Grandee Song didn't particularly care about a County Magistrate or the nephew of a County Magistrate!

Ignoring these two idiots, Song Que stared intently at the Tie family's young lady in front of him and asked:"What? Does the Golden Snake Gang need others to dictate how they handle their affairs?" Tie Yuniang's face grew even redder under his gaze. She turned, glared at Xu Shisheng, and then shouted loudly:"Naturally we don't! Men, why haven't you gone yet?!"

"Yes, Miss!" Watching the subordinates run off, Miss Tie finally turned around, blinking her large eyes, and asked him curiously:"What is your name?"

"I am Song Que!"

"My name is Tie Yuniang. Have you memorized it?" What's wrong with this little girl? Is she lovesick? Although Grandee Song found it a bit annoying to be entangled with women, he was a hundred times satisfied with his own aesthetic value! He cupped his hands to greet her:"Greetings, Miss Tie!"

"Aren't you afraid of offending our Golden Snake Gang by doing this?" The lovesick woman seemed to have turned into a curious baby, wanting to know about everything. Having nothing else to do, Grandee Song didn't mind chatting with her:"That question is better applied to your Golden Snake Gang!" These words were extremely provocative and invited a beating! But somehow, hearing them, Yuniang felt they exuded an overflowing, domineering aura!

She merely thought that a talented young hero with a chivalrous and unyielding spirit should be like this! Her eyes, already brimming with hearts, praised in awe:"You are so confident!" Standing far away, Xu Shisheng, whose anger still hadn't subsided, could no longer endure this!
