Sikong Zhaiyue and Xiao Ding have the same character, which is free and easy.
He always has a cynical look on his face. Even if he has no money left and his clothes are worse than a beggar's, you will never see him show a sense of desolation. Besides, he is never short of money.
Not only was Sikong Zhaiyue not short of money, he was now a rich man. It was only because of the ridiculously high remuneration given by Master Hu Ba.
Three million taels of silver notes, and they were bank notes from Shanxi Datong Bank that could be exchanged for cash at any time.
This money is enough for him to buy several large houses, hire a large number of servants, and accompany him every day to drink, gamble, ride horses, fish, and spend the day. Even if he spends decades, he may not be able to spend all the money.
Although Sikong Zhaiyue is not as addicted to gambling as the poor gambler Xuanyuan, he is also a gambler, and he is an out-and-out gambler. Apart from drinking or falling in love with someone's treasure, he can occupy his Except for some time, it can be said that he spends most of his time in the casino.
A person who loves gambling, no matter where he goes, will first ask about the situation of nearby gambling houses, such as whether the environment and location of this gambling house are comfortable, whether there are many people gambling, whether there are many people betting, and whether the banker is strong. etc.
For a real gambler, the reputation of the gambling house is their biggest concern. They need to understand clearly whether the banker can immediately redeem the banknote after winning money, and whether the banknote is issued by a powerful bank. After all, it is very inconvenient to carry large amounts of gold and silver.
No one ever thinks about what will happen if they lose everything. It seems that everyone who goes to the gambling house feels that they will not be a loser.
How does it feel to be a gambler with a terrifying amount of gambling money, passing by the door of a gambling house, but unable to go in and bet twice?
That feeling is like countless ants biting and biting in my heart, making my heart itchy and unbearable.
Sikong Zhaiyue was feeling itchy at this time.
He was wandering in front of the largest gambling house in the area. The banknotes in his arms seemed to have countless hands scratching his heart.
Unfortunately, he had no choice but to go in because he had promised Xiao Ding that he would never visit casinos or brothels during this trip to Shu.
Logically speaking, he already has more money than he can spend in his lifetime, so he shouldn't need to gamble anymore.
In fact, this is not the case. Real gamblers don’t care about winning or losing. What they enjoy is the feeling of being a banker.
When the banker was playing, the bettors at the gambling table stared with blood-red eyes. Dozens of eyes were staring at him and his hands. The moment he opened the dice clock, everything was unknown.
The unknown outcome will be full of suspense, and the sheer suspense will keep people appetizing.
Sikong Zhaiyue was originally a person who was both good and evil, and he did things based on his own preferences at the time.
He likes to drink, so when he met Xiao Ding at Yipinju in Luoyang that day, he felt that Xiao Ding was very suitable for him. People who love wine always want to make friends when they meet like-minded people.
Sometimes drunkards and gamblers seem to have something in common. Both of these people rarely care about other people's identities. Kings, nobles, traffickers and pawns can all be friends.
That day, Sikong Zhaiyue followed Tang Qingqing, looking for an opportunity to steal her Biluo Needle, but accidentally met Xiaoding near Jingou Gambling House. He thought to himself, could this kid also be a gambler?
Then he followed Xiao Ding to the Golden Hook Casino. He never expected that Xiao Ding would discover his whereabouts. He is known as the best thief in the world, and he is naturally extremely confident in his Qing Gong. In fact, his Qing Gong is He can also be regarded as one of the best masters in the world.
Xiao Ding was able to discover himself. It turned out that this boy was pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger!
Facts have proved that they were indeed wrong. Xiao Ding is indeed a hidden master, and he is also a master among masters.
In the Golden Gou Casino, he lost to Xiao Ding in the cricket bet. He refused to accept it and must find a chance to win it back.
It's not easy to win Xiao Ding!
Of course Sikong Zhaiyue knew that Xiao Ding was not simple. If he wanted to win against him, he had to first understand him, his living habits, personality and hobbies, and then he could find his weaknesses.
The best way to find out a person's weaknesses is to be with him every day.
Unfortunately, he ignored one issue.
There is a certain kind of person who is born to infect others.
Such people are generally very smart and have their own ideas about how they behave and do things. This in itself is a very contagious personality charm.
Xiao Ding is this kind of person.
Over the past few days, Sikong Zhaiyue's style of life and work has gradually changed after being with Xiao Ding and the others every day.
Sikong Zhaiyue didn't realize that he had been subtly influenced by Xiao Ding.
That day, Xiao Ding talked to him alone about something.
"Skinny Monkey, I want to ask you to do something. After you do this, I will promise to gamble with you again." Xiao Ding looked at Sikong Zhaiyue with a sly smile.
"What's the matter?" Sikong Zhiyue stared at Xiao Ding, feeling very surprised. Xiao Ding's ability was superior to his, which he was convinced in his heart. What else could he ask himself to do.
"I want to ask you to go to Shuzhong to investigate something. This matter is of great importance and only you can handle it." Xiao Ding didn't look like he was joking at all.
"Stop hating me and tell me first, what's going on?" Sikong Zhaiyue is the ancestor of the fox, so of course he won't be fooled easily.
Xiao Ding's expression suddenly became serious, even a little sad. He was silent for a moment and sighed: "The person I want you to investigate is not someone else, but Tang Xiaotian, the head of Tangjiabao and Changqing Escort Bureau."
"What? You want to check Tang Xiaotian, who is Tang Qingqing's biological father, your future father-in-law." Sikong Zhaiyue's expression looked like he had just swallowed a rotten egg. He even thought Xiao Ding had gone crazy.
Xiao Ding looked a little sad, and said with a wry smile: "Because he is Qingqing's father, I can't go, and we must be secretly monitored by people in white masks. Only you can get rid of their tracking."
Xiao Ding's words were half compliment and half truth.
He was indeed very busy, and there was a more important thing waiting for him to do. Naturally, Tang Qingqing couldn't let Tang Qingqing know about Tang Xiaotian, otherwise he wouldn't be able to explain it to Tang Qingqing even if he was tied to the sun.
Sikong Zhaiyue's Qinggong and disguise skills are unparalleled in the world, and he is also an old fox. It is naturally the best for him to handle this matter.
"But why do you want to investigate Tang Xiaotian? Do you suspect that all this is related to him?" As the saying goes, flattery never wears off, Sikong Zhaiyue's tone has softened obviously.
"Think about it, the Evergreen Escort Bureau was robbed in Daye, which is hundreds of miles away from Lin'an. That day, the Evergreen Escort Bureau chose to go at night, and the Thirteen Taibao just happened to show up, armed with a string of lanterns, as if they had known about it in advance. The Evergreen Escort Agency will arrive at the area where they are ambushing at night. Is there such a coincidence in the world?" Xiao Ding analyzed calmly.
"You should be able to guess how powerful the masked man in white is. Isn't it easy to send spies to investigate along the way? Besides, Daye has always been troubled by bandits, so it is reasonable for the Changqing Escort Bureau to choose to travel at night. Why are you making such a fuss? "Sikong Zhaiyue doesn't quite agree with Xiao Ding's point of view, so he will argue with reason.
"The night before Changqing Escort Agency left Jiangnan, Lord Tang Dabao invited me to the house of Guo Zhenwei of Shenwei Escort Agency for a secret discussion. Together we analyzed every possibility that we might encounter on the way, and we also discussed how to deal with every emergency situation. But he didn't tell me about the night trip. Even if it was a temporary decision, he had every chance to inform me to be prepared when we were in Jingzhou and Jiangcheng. "A trace of pain flashed in Xiao Ding's eyes. Tang Xiaozhen was really involved in the whole thing, how should he explain it to Tang Qingqing?
Sikong Zhaiyue opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but suddenly realized that there was no need to say anything more. He already understood what Xiao Ding meant.
The Changqing Escort Bureau was traveling to Jiangnan this time. Including Tang Xiaotian, there were a total of fourteen people. The man in the white mask left one alive as a demonstration. Shouldn't the chief escort of the Evergreen Escort Bureau be killed to be more of a deterrent? Well, why did Tang Xiaotian remain without killing him?
Sikong Zhaiyue seemed to have understood the pain in Xiao Ding's eyes. In fact, he had already discovered that Tang Xiaotian had a problem, but because of Tang Qingqing's face, he did not choose to question him face to face.
But there are some things that, since you have chosen to make them, you will have to face them sooner or later.
Is not it.
