Chapter 17 The Lin Brothers
Whether it is fearing the evil reputation of the four brothers Li Bin or the workmanship contract signed with Hongyun Gambling Hall before, Xu Shan, Xu Li and his son were honestly following Li Bin and Li Biao back to Hongyun Gambling Hall.
In addition to Xu Shan and Xu Li and his son, there were five other Zhuang He from Hongyun Gambling Hall, who were also found by Li Bin. Although these five Zhuang He was just a ruffian and only had a little gambling skill, there was no problem in being an ordinary Zhuang He.
When Li Bin offered a monthly salary of four taels of silver per month and had a dividend of at least one month at the end of the year, five of Cui Hu's subordinates immediately knelt in front of Li Bin and expressed their willingness to be Li Bin as their eldest brother. Even if they were torn between the fire and fire in the future, they would not frown at all.
In the afternoon of the same day, Hongyun Gambling Hall reopened in a low-key manner. Li Bin did not change the name of the gambling hall, but still had the plaque of the Hongyun Gambling Hall. Perhaps because more than a dozen people died suddenly, there were not many gamblers coming after the Hongyun Gambling Hall reopened.
Li Bin didn't care about this. Li Bin felt that after a while, when this matter faded, those gamblers would come back one after another. After all, there was only this gambling hall in the south of the city.
Li Bin next planned to focus on how to wipe out the bandits in Jiguanling within ten days. If you leave it alone, Li Bin will only have nine days left.
After discussion, Li Bin, Li Meng, Dian Wei and Xu Chu decided to take over the war soldiers and auxiliary soldiers of the mansion tomorrow morning, and then go out of the city to rush to Jiguanling the day after tomorrow.
"Brother, do we still have to recruit some people?" Li Meng asked Li Bin.
Li Bin waved his hand and said, "The people outside don't know that there are two grand warriors around me. At this time, we will recruit people to Jiguanling to suppress bandits. How can we recruit people? With a team of war soldiers from the palace soldiers and a team of auxiliary soldiers, we can take down the bandits in Jiguanling with the four of us."
Li Meng hesitated and asked, "Brother, where is Brother Xiang and Brother Hao? Did you call them too?"
Brother Xiang and Brother Hao mentioned are the two sons of Li Zhao and Li Liebing the eldest brother Lin Mao.
Lin Mao was originally a soldier of the Li family in Leishan, but Lin Mao died in the frontier eight years ago.
Lin Mao’s eldest son Lin Xiang is eighteen years old this year, only ten days younger than Li Bin, and his second son Lin Hao is seventeen years old this year, two months older than Li Meng.
After Lin Mao's death, the two brothers Li Zhao and Li Lie almost regarded Lin Xiang and Lin Hao as their biological sons. Even the ancestral cultivation techniques, as well as the family swordsmanship and spear techniques, were taught to Lin Xiang and Lin Hao. Even the elixirs made of several precious medicinal materials to assist in the cultivation of Yuan Qi, Lin Xiang and Lin Hao did not eat less than Li Meng.
Although Lin Xiang and Lin Hao have not yet been promoted to the level of Mingjin, both of them are strong men over 1.85 meters tall, and their martial arts are no worse than ordinary Mingjin warriors.
Because of the influence of his father, Li Bin, Li Meng, Lin Xiang and Lin Hao have had a very good relationship since childhood, and there is almost no difference between the four of them and their own brothers.
When Li Bin mentioned Lin Xiang and Lin Hao, Li Bin hesitated for a moment and nodded and said, "Aunt Lin has always been unwilling to let Xiangzi and Haozi be the military officer for the county magistrate in the future. Now we have this gambling hall in our hands, Xiangzi and Haozi have a way out. In a while, you go to Linjia Village outside the city and greet Xiangzi and Haozi."
In the Baitong Gambling Hall located in the west of the city, the owner Yuan Jinbao said to Yuan Cheng, the manager of the gambling hall in a deep voice: "We Baitong Gambling Hall should not get involved in the matter of Hongyun Gambling Hall. It is still the same as before. As long as the Hongyun Gambling Hall does not cross the boundaries, the two families will still be in peace."
Yuan Jinbao, 33 years old this year, is thin and wearing a light blue silk robe. He has deep dark circles on his slightly drooping bags. He looks like he is overly indulging indulgence.
The manager Yuan Cheng is about 30 years old and is wearing a black outfit, and looks very capable.
The manager Yuan Cheng said in confusion: "Boss, this time Cui Hu fell into the hands of two young boys from the Li family. This is a good opportunity for us to destroy the Hongyun Gambling Hall. As long as Xu Shan, Xu Li and his son can dig into our Baitong Gambling Hall, the Hongyun Gambling Hall may not be able to continue."
Yuan Jinbao shook his head and said, "Li Jingyi just sent someone to spread the message. Li Bin, the new boss of Hongyun Gambling Hall, is his nephew of the same clan. I hope I can take care of him as my nephew in the future."
The manager Yuan Cheng said with some reluctance: "Hong family, we have the support of the county magistrate, why should we be afraid of their Li family? I told me that the Hongyun Gambling Hall should have been destroyed long ago. If the Hongyun Gambling Hall is closed, the monthly income of our Baitong Gambling Hall will almost increase by 30% or 40%."
Yuan Jinbao shook his head and said, "After all, this is Leishan County, and the Li family is a general. Even if we have the relationship with my brother-in-law, we cannot do it too much."
Although Yuan Jinbao called County Magistrate Xu Fugong as his brother-in-law, Yuan Jinbao's sister is actually one of the many concubines of County Magistrate Xu Fugong. When Yuan Jinbao met County Magistrate Xu Fugong, he was like a mouse meeting a cat. In front of County Magistrate Xu Fugong, Yuan Jinbao had no status at all.
Even Yuan Jinbao opened a Baitong Gambling Hall in Leishan County, but did not receive the real support of the county magistrate Xu Fugong. Yuan Jinbao only took advantage of the county magistrate Xu Fugong, so Yuan Jinbao was not willing to offend the Li family in his heart.
Yuan Jinbao then pondered for a moment, and said to the butler Yuan Cheng: "But there are so many people dead in Hongyun Gambling Hall this time. We can take the opportunity to bring some gamblers from Hongyun Gambling Hall over. You can just arrange it according to the specific arrangements!"
The butler Yuan Cheng's eyes lit up, "Don't worry, boss, I know what to do."
On the evening of the reopening of Hongyun Gambling Hall, Lin Xiang and Lin Hao, brothers, brought weapons and followed Li Meng to the gambling hall. The weapons of the Lin brothers were also wide-blade machetes.
"Brother Bin, why don't you call me and Haozi to kill Cui Hu? Are we still brothers?" Lin Xiang said with some annoyance after seeing Li Bin.
Lin Hao followed and said in a muffled voice: "That's not true, Brother Bin, how could he not call me and my brother for such a big deal!"
Li Bin smiled and patted Lin Xiang and Lin Hao's shoulders, "I didn't take Cui Hu seriously, so I didn't look for you. I asked you here this time. In addition to going to Jiguanling to suppress bandits, I also hope that you two can follow me to help me. We dare not say that there is a wealth of wealth, but at least we brothers will have no shortage of money for food, drink and fun in the future. Xiangzi and Haozi, are you willing?"
Lin Xiang nodded without hesitation and said, "Of course I am willing. Brother Bin should have taken our brothers to do something. We four brothers, Brother Bin, you are the best at using your head!"
Lin Hao also nodded immediately and said, "Brother Bin, I am willing. My mother told me before coming, and let my brother and I listen to you in everything in the future."
Hearing Lin Xiang and Lin Hao's unsurprising answer, the smile on Li Bin's face became even brighter, "Let's go, let's get together tonight. I'll introduce you to two new brothers, but you can't drink too much tonight. We have to go to the city's military training ground tomorrow morning to take over the military soldiers and the military soldiers' military soldiers!"
