The Great Era of Siheyuan

"Chen, take two people with you, take a sack and go to the workshop to load the workpieces and put them on the truck, then go and call the people from the second patrol team to gather together!"

As soon as all the things in the steel mill were unloaded, Wang Jianjun began to gather people.

"Yes!"

A security guard immediately carried out the order after hearing it, and soon a patrol team came running over.

"Assemble, line up!"

At Wang Jianguo's command, the twenty or thirty people present immediately lined up and stood still.

Seeing that most people had arrived, Wang Jianguo didn't waste any more words and spoke directly.

"Someone has reported recently that spare parts in our steel mill workshop keep disappearing for no reason. After much investigation, we have locked down the location of that group of people today. Everyone, prepare your guns and ammunition, and be careful in a while. If the situation is not right, open fire immediately. Now, get in the car!"

Just as he finished speaking, two Dongfeng trucks drove out, and everyone quickly climbed on board and drove towards Gulou Street in a mighty manner.

Wang Jianjun would either not take action, or if he did, he would catch them all in one fell swoop and eliminate the trouble forever.

On Gulou Street, everyone was ready to go to sleep in the dark night, but there was a small courtyard that was still brightly lit. People in the front yard were shouting loudly, while in the back yard there were shouts that made people blush.

"Big, big, we won! Hahahaha, give me money, give me money!"

A middle-aged man with a face full of flesh was laughing and asking people around him to give him money.

"Ah~! Lost again! I got six big draws in a row, my luck is so bad!"

"That's right. I thought this one should be a small one after so many big draws, but it turned out to be a big one. I'm not playing anymore. I lost all my money. What bad luck!"

Those who lost money just sighed and complained about their bad luck.

Only the man who won the money had a gleam in his eyes and a hint of mockery on his lips.

"Hey~ Why are you in such a hurry? Victory and defeat are common in the military. If you don't have money, I can lend it to you. Play with it first and pay me back when you have money. Come on, let's continue!"

The man said with a smile.

"Brother Wang is so generous. Fine, lend me another ten dollars. I don't believe this one is still a big win!"

The person who had just said that he had lost all his money, his eyes lit up and he immediately became energetic when he heard that someone was willing to lend him money.

"Ten dollars is too little. I'll lend you a hundred dollars. The interest rate will be the same as usual. How do you think?"

Wang Erhu said carelessly, as if this little money was just a drop in the bucket for him.

"This~!"

The man who was originally in high spirits immediately hesitated when he heard that he had to borrow so much. You know, Wang Erhu was notoriously unscrupulous, and nine times out of ten he got back thirteen times out of ten. Borrowing ten or eight yuan was not a big deal, but if he borrowed a hundred yuan, how could he pay it back if he lost?

But when he thought about the money he had just lost, he decided to borrow 100 yuan to make up for his losses. He couldn't believe that his luck was so bad.

"Wang Mazi, if you have bad luck, just go home and stop. If you keep losing, how can your family survive?"

Someone nearby couldn't stand it anymore and reminded him. It would have been better if he hadn't said it. As soon as he reminded him, Wang Mazi made a decision immediately.

"Okay, lend me a hundred dollars. I don't believe I can't win! Li Gui, stop cursing me here. I just had bad luck just now. Have you ever heard of the saying, 'Good luck comes'? Just wait and see how I'll kill everyone next! Second Brother Wang, give me the money. I don't believe it today. I have to make up for his loss."

Wang Mazi said confidently.

It was impossible to persuade the damned ghost with kind words. Seeing this, the man next to him also shut his mouth.

Such things happen every now and then. Most of the time, it happens to some poor families nearby. When they see "others" winning a lot of money, they also want to gamble. As a result, they lose more and more. After losing a lot, they want to make up for it. In the end, they are addicted and cannot extricate themselves. Their families are broken up and they are sold to gambling houses. In the end, they live miserably.

"Okay, write the IOU first! I'll pay you right after you sign it!"

Wang Erhu looked at Wang Mazi's excitement with a smile, as if he was looking at a big fat sheep, and was thinking in his mind how to get the debt from him next.

Wang Mazi wrote an IOU, took the 90 yuan he had just received, and excitedly went back to the gambling table. Soon his excited voice was heard.

"Xiao Xiao Xiao, come out to me quickly!"

"Five five six, sixteen big! Thank you!"

The dealer on the side took all the bets on the table with a smile.

Wang Mazi felt numb all over and kept screaming.

"It's over, it's over, it's all over now!"

He just bet small with the borrowed money. He didn’t believe that there would be another big bet after nine big bets in a row. Unexpectedly, the tenth bet was still a big bet. He felt like the sky was falling.

"It's okay. If you lose, you can come back next time. Wang Mazi, remember to give me the money tomorrow, or you can prepare to send your daughter over here!"

Wang Erhu said with a smile.

"Second Master, can you give me a few more days? I will definitely give you the money next month. Can you give me some money to raise funds?"

Wang Mazi said tremblingly that he was originally a coolie pulling a rickshaw, earning only a dozen or twenty yuan a month. Now he lost a hundred yuan. According to the rule of nine out of thirteen, he had to pay back thirteen hundred yuan, which he could not pay even if he sold himself.

"If you don't have money, send your daughter over here. She can earn at least a hundred or eighty yuan a month with me. You can pay off the debt in two or three months!"

Wang Erhu looked at him with a smile on his face, his eyes full of mockery.

"Second Master, I beg you, the child is still young, and doing this will ruin his life. Please have mercy and give me some time, I will definitely return the money to you!"

Wang Mazi knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. Although he was a gangster, he knew how to save face. If he sold his daughter to them, his life would be over. How would others view him?

"No money? You're the one who's going to lend me money? Get out of here right now! If you don't pay me back tomorrow, I'll use your daughter as collateral! Otherwise, I'll send someone to your car dealership to cause trouble. I'll see if anyone dares to take you. Get him out!"

Wang Erhu's words hit him right in the sore spot. He was a temporary worker in the car dealership, not a regular employee. His family depended on his job to support them. If he lost his job, they would starve to death.

Before he could beg for mercy, Wang Erhu's younger brother came over with two people, grabbed him and started to drag him out.

Before they could react when they reached the door, two trucks suddenly stopped outside and twenty or thirty people rushed out instantly, each of them pointing a gun at them, and they rushed over and shouted at them.

"Don't move, I'll shoot anyone who dares to move!"

Before the gambling thugs and Wang Erhu could react, they were immediately controlled by someone with a gun pointed at their heads. With such a big scene, a group of gamblers had already squatted on the ground and dared not move. They could only squat on the ground and wait for trial.
