Chapter 83： 日本浪人

到了晚上,无忧无虑的小酒馆变得拥挤起来,梅姐等人忙得不可开交.但是,当有钱可赚时,无论他们有多忙,他们都会很高兴.楚天今晚没有出去.想起早上听到的对话,他感到有些不安.毕竟,无忧无虑的小酒馆是露天的,而柳子和他的团伙则潜伏在黑暗中.一个粗心的举动,他们就可能被智取.楚天自然不会允许这样的事情发生.他怎么能让梅姐和逍遥酒馆因为他而受苦呢?

 

楚天在无忧酒馆呆了一会儿,感觉有些压抑.他拿起竹叶清酒的三-凉,缓缓走出了酒馆.站在外面的一棵树下,他啜饮了几口阴郁的——品酒.夜风总是让人更加清醒.就在这时,一声激动的喊声从背后传来:"楚兄,你真的来了!

 

楚天转过头,忍不住笑了.其实是常哥,就是他通过打斗认识的常哥.他和他的几个兄弟悠闲地走过来.当他走到楚天身边时,狠狠地拍了拍楚天的肩膀,说道:"楚哥,你还是那样的风度,甚至还胖了一点.看来真的没有什么能打扰你的,我的朋友.

 

楚天也拍了拍常哥,上下打量着他.这家伙身体健康,这说明他这些天在沿江饭店吃得不错.但奇怪的是,他是怎么出来的.他不应该还在监狱里服刑吗?他看起来如此放松,仿佛他只是出去散步.于是,楚天带着疑惑的眼神说道:"常哥,你们是怎么出来的?你又被录用了吗?还是你越狱了?

 

常哥看起来有些尴尬,羞涩地说道:"楚哥,你真是懂得打痛处.这一次,我们合法地离开了.我们的刑期快到了,凭借我的立功和良好行为,林检察官为我们辩护,并获得了批准.所以,我们提前几天被释放,以获得一些新鲜空气.其他兄弟真的很后悔没有像我一样说出来.后来,他们都试图交谈,但已经太晚了.所以,我们中只有少数人出来了,他们仍然在监狱里被蚊子叮咬.

 

楚天心想,确实是林玉清为他们求情.难怪他们能早点出去.林玉晴真的很会办案.提前几个月让常哥放出来,他得到了这么多犯人的口供,说不定还有其他相关信息流出来.这真的是一笔值得的交易.难怪有人急着要把林玉清调到北京.否则,如果林玉晴继续审讯,谁知道会揭开多少事情,真的会一发不可收拾.

 

楚天扫视着常兄和他的手下,注意到他们的眼中带着几分疲惫.突然,他笑了笑,说道:"常哥,请你哥哥们进来喝几杯怎么样?

 

常哥摇摇头,深有感情地说道:"楚哥,我们刚出狱,充满了负能量.我们怎么进去呢?那不会给你带来厄运吗?

 

楚天笑了笑,友好地拍了拍常哥的肩膀,说道:"常哥,你是我的朋友.既然你是我的朋友,我就不在乎运气不好.来吧,让你和你的兄弟们尝尝顶级的竹叶清酒.

 

听到楚天的话,常哥激动起来,高兴无比.不是因为有机会喝到极好的竹叶清酒,而是因为楚天居然把他当成了朋友.他连忙道:"楚兄,我以前得罪了你,但你不怪我,还把我当朋友.我能说什么呢?如果你将来需要我的帮助,就说出来吧.我会毫不犹豫地为你经历火与水.

 

楚天点点头.常哥确实是个直率的人,比陈子枫这种其实满脑子都是坏主意的所谓绅士要好得多.瓶中酒喝完后,楚天脸上挂着灿烂的笑容,带领常兄一行人走进了逍遥酒馆.梅姐一看到是常哥一行人,吓了一跳.他们为什么又来了?然后,看到楚天脸上友好的表情,她知道他们是朋友,而不是敌人.于是,她笑了笑,善解人意地说道:"哥,带他们去'木兰阁'吧.它可容纳 6 到 7 人.我让那个女孩儿给你拿几壶酒来,再给你拿点小菜来.梅姐总是那么大方,得体,善解人意.她不会问很多问题.也许这就是她与常人的不同之处.

 

楚天感激地看了梅姐一眼,轻松地领着常哥走进了'木兰阁'.常哥和他的手下小心翼翼地穿过走廊,生怕弄坏酒馆里的任何东西.他们的举止与以前霸道的自己完全不同.在常哥心里,能和楚天成为朋友,喝他提供的酒,已经足够了.其他一切都不再重要.再说了,跟楚天相比,他觉得自己什么都不是.

 

Chu Tian poured the mellow Zhuyeqing wine for Brother Chang and his men. They drank it carefully, and after savoring it, their faces were filled with intoxication. Brother Chang sincerely exclaimed, "If I could drink such good wine every day, I wouldn't mind living a few years less."

 

Another brother also said, "Yeah, I've been out in the world for so many years. I've drunk more wine than water, but I've never had such intoxicating wine."

 

Hearing him say "been out in the world for so many years," Chu Tian had an idea. He quickly said, "Guys, I have a question I'd like to ask you."

 

Brother Chang and the others all put down their wine glasses. They were clearly curious that Chu Tian had a question for them. They said in unison, "Brother Chu, just go ahead."

 

Chu Tian organized his thoughts and said, "Based on your many years of experience in the world, is there any way to make a normal tavern go out of business, considering the involvement of thugs and the police?"

 

Brother Chang laughed heartily, and the other brothers also laughed. Brother Chang said, "Brother Chu, this is not really a difficult thing, and it's even a bit underhanded. Making a normal bar go out of business is easy. Suppose we want to make the Carefree Tavern close down. A few of us could come here to cause trouble while drinking, and then secretly hide some drugs, guns, or something like that in this private room. After that, we'd secretly inform the bribed police to come and search. Once those illegal items are found, the bar will surely have to close for rectification. But these are the tricks of small - time thugs. For people at our level, doing such things would be laughable."

 

Chu Tian still had some doubts and said, "What if we find those things and throw them away before the police arrive? Wouldn't that solve the problem?"

 

Brother Chang smiled and revealed his old tricks from his days in the underworld: "Even if you know these small - time thugs might try to frame you, they'll create a ruckus to distract everyone, making it impossible for you to find the contraband they've hidden. Once the police arrive, they'll turn around and testify against you. A normal bar won't be able to defend itself against this."

 

Chu Tian suddenly understood. Many of his doubts became clear in an instant. Presumably, the thug Blackie, bribed by Aunt, would use similar tricks. Although the scheme was a bit despicable, it was quite effective. One careless move, and you could fall into their trap.

 

Brother Chang, observing Chu Tian's expression, knew he wouldn't ask this question for no reason. He said, "Brother Chu, is someone trying to frame the Carefree Tavern? Tell me, and we'll chop those bastards up." Brother Chang's heroic nature had returned.

 

Chu Tian smiled. Now that he knew what tricks the other side might use, things would be much easier.

 

Just then, Sister Mei came over with a nervous look on her face and said to Chu Tian, "Chu Tian, come and take a look. Four Japanese people came to the 'End of the World Pavilion'. They weren't satisfied with several kinds of wine we offered. They even beat up two of our guys and demanded pretty girls to keep them company. The girl sounded so nervous and panicked that she didn't dare to go alone, so she came to get you."

 

Chu Tian turned to look at Brother Chang and his men and said, "Brother Chang, what we just talked about is happening. Let's go and have a look."

 

Brother Chang and his men were already annoyed when they heard that someone was causing trouble, and when they heard there were Japanese people involved, they got even angrier. Hearing Chu Tian invite them to check it out, they immediately stood up, rolled up their sleeves, and followed Chu Tian with a menacing look towards the 'End of the World Pavilion'. Anyway, they had just gotten out of prison, and they still had that violent energy and could use their ruthless methods. If something happened, they could just go back to prison. They just thought of it as a way to get some fresh air.

 

As soon as Chu Tian and his group stepped into the private room of the 'End of the World Pavilion', a bottle was thrown at them. Chu Tian casually caught it and scanned the room. The floor was littered with broken cups and plates, and two waiters were lying on the ground, moaning in pain. It seemed the four Japanese people had hit them pretty hard. A wave of anger welled up in Chu Tian for no reason. He handed the bottle to Sister Mei and looked coldly at the Japanese people. One of them, wearing glasses, was cursing fluently in Chinese: "You bunch of trash! We told you to find some good wine and pretty girls, but what kind of wine did you bring? And you didn't even find any girls. Hurry up and find some. We want pretty girls and good - tasting wine, or we'll tear this place down."

 

With a wave of his hand, Chu Tian signaled Brother Chang and his men to help the injured waiters out. The Japanese guy with glasses laughed and said, "A bunch of losers. You still want to fight us? Let you know what a Japanese judo master is like." Suddenly, he saw Sister Mei and immediately started laughing lecherously, talking to the other Japanese people in Japanese, and then laughed with satisfaction. The Japanese guy with glasses pointed at Sister Mei and said, "Yes, this is the kind of pretty girl we want. Girl, come and sit here. My name is Kimura. I really like Chinese culture, and I also like pretty Chinese girls. Come on, come and sit."

 

Chu Tian quickly moved in front of Sister Mei in a flash. No one saw how he moved. Kimura's eyes immediately lit up. He knew a master had arrived, but he didn't care. He, Kimura, had been practicing martial arts for four or five years. Couldn't he defeat this young kid? He scanned Chu Tian a few times and said disdainfully, "Friend, you want to play the hero and save the beauty? You're too young. You're no match for us. Either hand over the girl or bring your manager here."
