" Eighty years?!!" Xiaobei was shocked when she heard the number.
Then, she suddenly laughed evilly and came to the stunned Old White. She scratched his chin as if she was stroking his beard and mocked,
"Big Brother Bai, you don't have to be too sad.
You'll only be a hundred years old after eighty years. Although your hair and beard will definitely be white, I'm still a hero!”
After she finished speaking, she patted Old White's shoulder and pretended to comfort him,"
"Live well. There will be a day when you pay off your debts.”
"Hehe, Xiaobei is right." Su Mu also started a fire at the side and said with a smile:
"As long as Old Bai works hard to cultivate and recuperate his body, he might really be able to live to a hundred years old.”
As he spoke, he rubbed his chin and sized up Old White's right hand. He shook his head.
"However, I don't want you to gamble again in the future.
If I lose again, wouldn't that be my loss?
So, I'm going to chop off your arm so that you won't be able to gamble anymore!”
"No!" When Lao Bai heard that Su Mu was going to chop off his arm, he immediately came back to his senses and hugged his right arm as he retreated, his face full of fear!
"This is not up to you!" After pulling out the sword from his waist, Su Mu slowly approached Lao Bai and said sinisterly:
"Old Bai, you owe me nearly three hundred silver taels.
It only cost ten taels of silver to buy a strong laborer from a human.
The silver you owe me is enough for me to buy nearly 30 strong laborers!
I've already done my best to let you work to pay off your debts.
Even if I cut off one of your arms, no one can say anything!”
After saying that, he suddenly sped up and arrived in front of Lao Bai.
He pressed down on his shoulder, raised his sword, and slashed down fiercely!
"Ah!" Lao Bai was so frightened that he closed his eyes and screamed,"
"My arm!"
"Clang!" Su Mu sheathed his sword and looked at Lao Bai with his eyes closed:
"Alright! Stop howling! Isn't your arm still growing on your body?”
"Ah... Ah?" Lao Bai, who was wailing, suddenly froze.
Then, he hurriedly opened his eyes and looked at his right arm.
After seeing that it was unharmed, he immediately grabbed his right arm with his left hand and wailed,
"My poor arm is still on my body. That's great! Wuwuwu!"
"If you dare to cry again, I'll immediately chop off your right hand!”Su Mu was annoyed by Lao Bai's cries and scolded.
"Oh!" Lao Bai immediately covered his mouth tightly and shook his head in horror.
"Humph!" Seeing this, Su Mu snorted and asked:
"Do you still dare to gamble in the future?"
"I'm not gambling anymore. I won't gamble even if you beat me to death!”Lao Bai shook his head with lingering fear.
He shakily walked to the stone bench and sat down. He picked up a bowl of tea with trembling hands and gulped it down.
He let out a long breath and smiled bitterly.
"Little Su, I thought you were really going to cut off my arm.
His mind was blank, and all thoughts in his heart turned to dust.
Then, I thought, if only I hadn't gambled from the beginning.”
At this point, he calmed down and let out a long sigh. He looked at Su Mu with gratitude:
"Little Su, I know you're helping me quit gambling.
Thank you. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have been stuck in the quagmire!”
As he spoke, he pointed to the sky and swore with a determined expression,
"I, Bai Zhantang, swear that if I gamble again in the future, I will die a horrible death!”
The reason why Lao Bai made this oath was partly to not let down Su Mu's good intentions.
On the other hand, he also wanted to use this oath to bind himself.
"Pa, pa, pa" Seeing this, Su Mu clapped his hands in satisfaction:
"Not bad, not bad. A prodigal son returning is the greatest kindness. My painstaking efforts were not in vain.
In that case, the money you owe me is written off, but I didn't lose anything.”
As he spoke, he picked up the bag of dried sweet potatoes on the table and smiled.
"This bag of dried sweet potatoes and your vow just now are my greatest gains.”
"Thanks, Little Su." Lao Bai thanked him with a face full of gratitude, then sighed and said,"
" At this moment, I finally understood the meaning of 'being free from debt'!”
As he spoke, he opened his hands, raised his head, and breathed in the air with an intoxicated expression.
"No debt, even the air is filled with a sweet smell. This feeling is too good.”
"The air in the prison smells better. Come with me!”As soon as Lao Bai finished speaking, a slightly excited voice came from behind him.
" Mother!!!" Lao Bai, who was intoxicated, was shocked. He jumped onto the table like a rabbit and turned to look at the person who spoke. He was shocked.
"Old Xing? Why are you in the backyard?"
As he spoke, Lao Bai suddenly thought of something and said in a panic,
"I didn't steal anything!"
"Who cares if you stole anything!" Old Xing came to the table excitedly. After looking at the mahjong tiles on it, the excitement in his eyes intensified.
"I heard it clearly from behind the door just now. You were gambling!
Moreover, the stakes had already reached 290 taels!”
At this point, he suddenly turned around, clasped his hands, and bowed to the heavens.
"Oh my god, you finally opened your eyes and gave me a big case. Thank you, thank you!
There's hope for a career!"
Old Xing was so excited that he was about to cry!
Although Qixia Town was prosperous, the people in the town were all law-abiding. There were very few people who even quarreled with each other.
He hadn't received a decent case for several years.
Now that he had suddenly received such a "big case" that involved hundreds of taels of silver, he was so excited that he couldn't control himself.
Afterwards, he took off the lock on his waist and glared at Lao Bai and Su Mu.
That's right, he even included Su Mu.
He had clearly heard that Su Mu had also participated in the bet.
"You guys, you guys set up a gambling house without permission, and the amount involved is huge. Come with me!”
"Fu!" Su Mu wasn't in a hurry. He picked up the hot tea on the table and blew it a few times. After taking a sip, he pointed at Wan Wan and calmly said,
"This lady has a senior sister in the Imperial Palace, and she has been made the Imperial Consort by the current Emperor. She is very favored.”
Then, he looked at Old Xing with a faint smile."
"Old Xing, are you sure you want to capture the junior sister of the current imperial consort?
If you really dare to do this, a gust of wind will blow past you and you will be gone!”
Then, he pointed at Lu Xiaofeng,"
"This person is called Lu Xiaofeng. People in the martial arts world call him Lu Xiaofeng with four eyebrows. He has nothing to do with the imperial palace.
However, even the Constable God of the Six Fan School had to greet him with a smile.”
After introducing Lu Xiaofeng, he looked at Old Xing again and teased,"
"Old Xing, I'm sure.
If you catch Lu Xiaofeng, it won't take long for your superior to find a reason to remove you from your position as a constable!”
" Lu Xiaofeng?!" Old Xing looked at Lu Xiaofeng in horror and swallowed nervously.
He had also heard of Lu Xiaofeng's name, and of course, he knew that Lu Xiaofeng had a good relationship with the Six Fan School.
"Damn it, luckily I didn't rush up to catch them. Otherwise, it would affect my career!”
Then, he suddenly turned his gaze to Su Mu:
"What about you? Who are you?
Do you have a relative in the palace, or do you know the Constable God?”
"No, I have nothing to do with officialdom.”Su Mu slowly sipped his tea and shook his head:
"However, I know a lot of things.
Coincidentally, there are many people who want to get the information they want from me.
For example, Iron-guts God-Marquis Zhu Bujue. For example…The current emperor!"
Although Su Mu didn't know the Emperor and had a bad relationship with Zhu Bujue, it didn't stop him from using his power.
Anyway, Old Xing didn't have the ability to verify the authenticity of this matter.
As for whether Old Xing would doubt the authenticity of Su Mu's background,
Old Xing wasn't a fool, why would he risk his life to verify Su Mu's words?
Moreover, which audacious person would dare to joke around with the Emperor?
This was the sin of being exterminated!
Therefore, Old Xing believed Su Mu's words!
