The Wu Casino is probably the largest casino in New Capital City. It looks like a gray two-story building from the outside. It looks inconspicuous among the various buildings in New Capital City. There is no plaque hanging on the lintel, only a couplet. The first couplet: A horse cannot grow fat without night grass; the second couplet: A man cannot be rich without external wealth. The horizontal sign is: windfall.
There were several servants wearing Roman hats and black servant uniforms at the door to greet the guests. When they saw Li Jiange and the other two people walking quickly, a leading servant came running over, bending his waist and saying in flattery: "Hey Hey, isn’t this the chief arrester! Are you here today to make things right?”
Li Jiange's brows were raised, his face was as cold as a piece of cold iron, and he yelled angrily: "Tong Ermao, your special mother-in-law, come and get close to me. I'm bringing someone here today. Go and call Old Man Wu out. I have something to say to him, otherwise don’t blame me and rush in to get someone!”
Tong Ermao's hot face was met with a cold butt, and he was scolded all over his face. His heart suddenly burst into anger, and he said to himself: "You just lost money here yesterday, today you will bring someone to find fault. If twenty I was afraid of you only a few days ago when you looked like a dick, but now my husband’s nephew and son-in-law can kill you with just one little finger, and I’m still afraid of you!”
Tong Ermao's face immediately turned down, and he said lukewarmly: "My master is visiting the Taiwei Zhuge's house. If the Chief Inspector wants to see him, just go to the Taiwei's house."
"Haha." When Li Jiange heard this, he immediately sneered and said in his heart: "You slave, you look down on others. If you don't play with you, you really don't know how powerful I am!" He then said to Xie Jincai and Yuan Youfu who were following behind him. Waved his hand: "Let's go to the Wu Mansion. Since Old Man Wu doesn't accept my favor, don't blame me for not informing him in advance!"
"Chief Inspector, I have already told you that my master is in Taiwei's Mansion, and your trip to Wu Mansion is in vain!" Tong Ermao couldn't help but shout after him.
Li Jiange turned around and said coldly: "We are not looking for Old Man Wu, but we are going to arrest the prisoner Wang Liangdi on the orders of Lord Tongjian!"
''ah! "Tong Ermao was shocked when he heard that he hurriedly ran after Li Jiange and the others. He bent down and smiled flatteringly: "Hey, Mr. Chief Inspector, I want to ask, why did Mr. Tongjian want to arrest my master's sixth wife? "
Li Jiange squinted and said disdainfully: "Is it useful for a slave like you to ask so much?"
Tong Ermao's face turned red, and he wanted to refute it, but when he thought of the master's vicious family methods, he couldn't help but trembled in his heart, so he had to bite the bullet and said with a smile: "The chief arrester is right, the young man is calling someone Go to the Taiwei's Mansion to find my master and come back. Please ask the Chief Constable to sit in the casino for a while, and I will get some chips from the cabinet for you guys to try your luck. What do you think?"
Li Jiange nodded with satisfaction: "Well, that's pretty much it!"
After he finished speaking, he said again: "This must be done quickly. It's too late. I'm afraid it won't be easy for Mr. Tongpan to explain!"
Tong Ermao patted his chest and said, "Master Chief, please don't worry. I'm always neat at what I do."
Although the Wu Family Casino looks like two floors from the outside, you will actually find out when you go inside that it is actually three floors inside. There is also an underground floor in the casino. This underground floor is also the busiest and busiest floor with the most gamblers. Most of them are gambling houses. There are small stalls for throwing pots and throwing dice. Gamblers with relatively small gambling capital gamble here. The level where you enter is much cleaner than the underground level, because this level only gambles on the same thing, which is " Dragon, tiger and leopard".
In the casino, the "dragon, tiger and leopard" do not represent three animals, but a way of blind betting on dice. In this way of playing, the banker is the casino itself, and gamblers can only place bets, and the points of the dice are not thrown temporarily. Instead, the treasure officer on the second floor places the three dice on the plate in advance, and then covers the dice. cup. Then let a little boy carry this set of things to the second floor and hand it to the dealer. After the dealer puts the set of things on the table, everyone can come and place bets. If the bet hits the big or small, you can get three times the amount from the dealer. As for gambling capital, those who can bet on the right number can get five times the gambling capital. If the point is exactly eighteen, then they can get ten times the gambling capital from the banker.
Because Li Jiange usually has plenty of money, his favorite is the "dragon, tiger and leopard" game in the casino. This kind of blind gambling is very consistent with his inherent characteristics of liking excitement and adventure. Although the chance of winning is relatively small, the odds are The highest in the entire casino, so after he took over one hundred taels of silver chips from Tong Ermao, he stayed on the first floor to play with dragon, tiger and leopard. As for Xie Jincai and Yuan Youfu, their normal monthly salary in the government office was only two taels. Two taels of silver, plus the usual tips and messages for others, secretly showing mercy when doing business, and another seven or eight taels of bribes, so a total of about ten taels of silver can come in every month, and the family is old. It's okay for me to live a comfortable life in Xinjing City, but I can't even think about gambling like Li Jiange.
The two of them took the twenty taels of silver chips each given by Tong Ermao and went directly to the gambling stall on the underground floor of the casino without even thinking about it.
After Tong Ermao arranged the three people, he quietly sneaked up to the second floor of the casino. At this time, several people on the second floor were whispering behind a dice table and discussing something. The waiter who was responsible for carrying the dice cup downstairs stood watching from a distance. When he heard the footsteps, all eyes turned to Tong Ermao. These treasure officials who were responsible for setting the dice upstairs were all higher than Tong Ermao. , so Tong Ermao quickly handed over his hands and explained: "Young man, I have something important to do and came to see my master!"
Several treasure officials remained silent and lowered their heads to discuss the points they planned to place this time. Tong Ermao walked quickly past several people and walked to a door. He bent down and called softly at the door: "Master, Chief Li of the new capital government office said he was here to arrest the Sixth Madam on orders from the government office!"
"What?" A surprised question came from the room, followed by a rustling sound. Not long after, the door was half opened from the inside, and a young woman with a gorgeous dress and a pretty face stood in the door and said Looking outside, Tong Ermao quickly bowed his hands and said, "I would like to say hello to the Sixth Madam!"
The young woman glanced at him and said, "Master wants you to come in and talk. Come in and close the door."
"Hey, hey." Tong Ermao nodded and bowed in response.
Entering the house, Tong Ermao felt warm all over. He closed the door carefully. As a loyal henchman of the Wu family, this was the first time he was allowed to enter Wu Guanglu's secret room in the casino. He couldn't help but feel flattered. This room The secret room was very large, with a long screen in the middle dividing the room into two. Wu Guanglu made it even more magnificent than the palace. Tong Ermao felt dizzy when his feet stepped on the thick and soft carpet. .
Wu Guanglu was sitting on a long chair covered with thick cushions. A woman who looked like a maid was helping him tie the cloth belt on his clothes. It seemed that he had just finished his affair with the Sixth Madam. She had a fat and rosy face. He seemed to be breathing heavily, and Tong Ermao hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down: "Master, the new Jing government chief arrester Li Jiange came with two government officials and said he wanted to take the Sixth Lady back to see the official. The little one was stopped!"
"Oh! Where are they?" Wu Guanglu stroked his gray beard on his chest and asked, looking down at Tong Ermao who was kneeling at his feet.
Tong Ermao said: "In order to stabilize them, I specially took some chips from the cabinet and placed the three of them in the casino below to gamble!"
"Yes." Wu Guanglu nodded, squinting his eyes, thinking for a moment, and then ordered: "Go and bring Li Jiange to me alone, and don't disturb the other two officials!"
Tong Ermao said quickly: "Master, don't worry about this. Li Jiange is currently gambling on dragons, tigers and leopards on the first floor, and is not with the two officials."
Wu Guanglu nodded and said: "That's good, you can go ahead."
When Tong Ermao found Li Jiange on the first floor, the banker had just put the dice on the table. A dozen gamblers gathered around the dice and bet their chips. The largest of these chips was ten taels of silver, and the smallest was one or two. In silver denomination, Li Jiange held Tong Ermao in his hand and gave him ten 10-tael silver chips. At this time, he seemed to be 100% sure, and pressed all these chips on the face of five o'clock at once, hoping to start. After rolling the dice, it can instantly become six hundred taels!
Just as he was staring at the dice cup with wide eyes, Tong Ermao grabbed his arm from behind and pulled him out of the crowd. Li Jiange turned around and said angrily: "What the hell are you pulling?" He said with a backhand. The slap was slapped, and with a "snap" sound, one of Tong Ermao's cheek teeth was pulled out. "
Tong Ermao didn't dare to say anything, so he had to let go and retreat out of the circle of people. Although he was extremely angry, he was helpless. After a while, when the gamblers had almost placed their bets, the banker was in the carnival and chaos of the gamblers. He opened the dice cup after calling, and then there was a sigh of lamentation around the gambling table. No one expected that the treasure official upstairs would actually put out an eighteen point with the highest odds this time. This bank alone made the casino win nearly two Thousand taels of silver!
Li Jiange's hope of doubling his money failed, and he lost all his capital. He squeezed out of the crowd with a depressed look on his face, walked up to Tong Ermao, and said casually: "It's not you who are causing trouble, I will definitely win this time! "
Tong Ermao had no choice but to say in a low voice: "It's all because the little one doesn't have eyesight. Just wait for the little one to get some chips from the cabinet and give them to the chief catcher."
"Really?" Li Jiange's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he grabbed Tong Ermao's hand and said anxiously: "Why don't we go get it now? I will double the money I lost today and get it back."
Tong Ermao forced a smile and said: "Master Chief, my master is back and he wants to see you!"
Li Jiange was startled and asked, "Why did old man Wu come back so quickly?"
Tong Ermao explained: "It's a coincidence. I was planning to send someone to the Taiwei Mansion to find the master. As soon as I left the house, I met the master at the door and returned."
"Well, okay, lead the way." Li Jiange put his hands back and returned to his previous upright and awe-inspiring look.
The two of them went up to the second floor and saw several treasure officials again discussing what to do. Li Jiange was about to go over to take a look. Wu Guanglu, who had been waiting at the door early, quickly clasped his fists and greeted: "The Chief Inspector is here to welcome you from afar." , forgive me, forgive me!”
Hearing this, Li Jiange had no choice but to give up his plan and laughed loudly: "There, there, I will go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. I will ask Wu Yuanwai to cooperate with me later. I hope Wu Yuanwai will not refuse!"
Wu Guanglu said continuously: "Easy to say, easy to say." Then he let Li Jiange into the house.
Li Jiange entered the room and was invited to sit down on a long chair. The maid brought two cups of fragrant tea. He looked around and praised: "Executive member Wu, you are really the ancestor of Qian. Look at this room." Are there piles of silver everywhere?"
Wu Guanglu waved his hand and said straight to the point: "I wonder what the chief arrester wants to do with me?"
Li Jiange reached out and took off the waist knife from his waist, put it on the coffee table in front of him, and said with a smile: "Wu Yuanwai, brother, my money is a little tight recently, and I want to sell this waist knife to Yuan Wai Wu in exchange for some money!"
"Oh!" Wu Guanglu said with a smile without showing his expression: "This knife is what the Chief Constable relies on to make a living. How can I do such a ruthless thing? How about this? What do you think of this knife? I'll just pay the price. As for this knife! It's better to hang it on the chief catcher's waist. I'll lend it to you. What do you think?"
"Okay, have fun!" Li Jiange slammed the table and then raised his hand: "Wu Yuanwai, how about five hundred taels?"
Wu Guanglu grinned and said to himself: "This broken knife is not even worth five hundred taels of silver, but you want five hundred taels from me. You are too damn shameless!"
"What? Am I going to cum?" Seeing that Wu Guanglu remained silent for a while, Li Jiange asked with a frown.
When Wu Guanglu heard this, he quickly waved his hand and said, "Not high, not high. I'm just thinking about adding more for the Chief Constable."
"Haha." Li Jiange laughed while stroking his hands: "You're welcome, Mr. Wu. This knife is worth this price. You can't add another penny to it. If Mr. Wu wants to keep his family safe, why don't you let me use the five hundred dollars I spent to buy the knife?" How about winning 18 points for two silver coins?"
