Since the Gongsun family, as the organizer of the banquet, did not stop it and even sent people to maintain order, this made people feel that this was done intentionally by the Gongsun family or the three major families.
As for the purpose, it is naturally to combat the power of these gangs.
Everyone speculated, but no matter what, it didn't have much to do with them, they just thought it was a show.
Some businessmen even opened the market in their minds and placed bets on both sides.
The result is that the leaders of those gangs will win if most people suppress them.
Although they don't like these gang leaders, as a bet, they naturally hope to win money, and no matter how you look at it, it is impossible for one person to challenge the seven long-established gang leaders present.
Therefore, in this atmosphere, the odds even reached an astonishing 1:50, but the banker had a gloomy look on his face because he felt that he would not be able to make any money at all.
Zhu Gui noticed the movement over there and immediately asked his guards to press five thousand taels. As a result, the odds were increased to more than 1 to 30.
Many people noticed Zhu Gui's actions, but they all scoffed at it. They did admit that Zhu Gui's men (personal guards) were very capable, but they were exhausted from the wheel battle.
Soon, the first round of competition began.
The first person to appear was a big man with a square face. He seemed to be serving as a servant. His face was slovenly and sinister.
"Accepted."
The square-faced man was quite particular, and even offered his hands and fists to the bodyguard, but the next moment he pounced on him, obviously hoping to launch a sneak attack while the other party was returning the courtesy.
This trick can be said to be very insidious, but any "decent person" will fall into it.
Zhu Gui's bodyguard did return the salute, which made everyone present booed, obviously showing disdain for the square-faced man's behavior.
The man with the square face didn't take it seriously, and even thought it was a compliment. The reason why he could go all the way to become the leader of one of the big gangs in Taiyuan is because he is shameless.
His motto in life is that you can do whatever it takes to win, and the winner can have everything.
When the square-faced man saw the actions of the person opposite him, the corners of his mouth turned up.
"If you have a chance, you can win."
As soon as he pounces on his prey, he wants to hug him. With his huge body, anyone caught by him has no way to break free. In the end, he can only strangle him to death.
This is the famous move for men with square faces.
Although today's occasion was not suitable for bloodshed, in order to win, he was ready to offend anyone.
But as soon as he came to the personal guard, he saw the other party taking a step forward.
To others, he seemed to be taking the initiative to be put into the arms of the square-faced man, and many people had already covered their eyes.
But the square-faced man was surprised to find that the other party's movements were faster than his, and he was very vicious. He just grabbed one of his arms.
As a result, before the square-faced man landed, he heard a crisp sound and one of his arms was dislocated.
"Ouch."
The man with the square face had both arms dislocated, so he naturally lost his threat.
But the personal guard only took one step and used one move.
"Do you still have any skills in your legs?" the guard leaned down and looked at the square-faced man and said.
The square-faced man wanted to cry, but no matter how thick-skinned he was, he was completely defeated this time.
"I lost."
Facing the shocked and mocking looks of the people around him, he could only lower his head.
Then he was beaten out by the servants of the Gongsun family.
The remaining six people looked at each other with a strong sense of vigilance in their eyes.
They originally thought that with the methods of seven people, and in a wheel battle, no matter what, they would definitely lose, and at least no one would have that much physical strength.
But in this first round of competition, the opponent actually won so easily. It can be seen that the gap between them and this person is still very big.
"What should we do? If we go up and send them off one by one like this, I'm afraid the outcome won't be much better than that guy." One of the red-faced men said to the others.
He was the second to take the field, but at this time he did not take a step forward.
Several other people also had solemn expressions on their faces.
"How about we go together?" Another person suggested.
"Yes, we can go together."
"But, this is against the rules."
"What bullshit rules? The winner can make the rules. Are you going to be a stepping stone for others? Don't forget the purpose of our coming here today."
After some discussion, several people finally decided to cheat.
So the remaining six people took a step forward together.
There were louder boos all around again.
But when Zhu Gui saw this scene, he just sneered. Although he didn't think his personal guards could deal with six people at the same time, his goal had been achieved.
Even if he loses these 10,000 taels, these gangs will no longer have to hang out in Taiyuan City.
But things won't be that simple.
Don't forget that this is the Gongsun family. As the largest family in Taiyuan City, how could they let these gangs be so unscrupulous in their home? Not to mention that the head of the Gongsun family knows that the person opposite is the acting king.
So Gongsun Yun immediately stood up and walked over and said, "Wu Kun, what are you doing? Don't you take our Gongsun family seriously?"
Wu Kun sneered and said: "Gongsun Yun, since you said so, I will have a showdown with you. The reason why I am giving you face to attend this banquet today is that I am not the one who eats. The Gongsun family has already made money in Taiyuan.
There have been so many benefits, it’s time for us brothers to get some benefits too, right?”
Several other gang leaders also looked at Gongsun Yun with mocking expressions, obviously they had already discussed this.
"Okay, you thieves have actually come to our Gongsun family with your plans. Today I will show you the majesty of the largest family in Taiyuan."
After Gongsun Yun finished speaking, he shouted loudly, and a group of sergeants with weapons suddenly rushed in from outside the yard. They were the same people Gongsun Ming had recruited in the morning, but at this time these people were completely uniform in their clothes.
The guests in the courtyard suddenly became panicked.
Gongsun Yun immediately said: "Don't panic, everyone. This manpower was originally prepared to protect everyone. Now it seems that Quanzi has indeed had the foresight to actually dare to cause trouble in Gongsun's house."
"You guys, now either compete with this young master's men one by one, or you will be beaten to death by my men. You decide for yourself."
Gongsun Yun said very domineeringly.
Now it was Wu Kun and others' turn to look confused.
