After a while, a man in his thirties, wearing a robe and mandarin jacket, with a braid hanging behind him, came out of the back hall, looking somewhat like a scholar.
The other party looked us up and down: "What did my friend mean by what he just said?"
Ye Sanqi said: "It's not interesting, I just want to do some business with Ning Beile. Your people don't know the rules, so I can only ask you, who knows the rules, to come out."
As soon as Ye Sanqi's words came out, the atmosphere in the room became a little colder.
Ye Sanqi knew clearly that several people in the room had unkind expressions, but he sat down boldly and looked at Ning Beile with a half-smile.
The hierarchy of the Manchu Eight Banners is very strict, and the bannermen naturally have to distinguish between high and low when they meet. A true bannerman can recognize his own flagbearer through the details of his clothes and headgear.
The pattern on the Ninth Prince's mandarin jacket means that he is a serious bannerman and has a very high status.
But what does that outfit mean? I didn't ask carefully. The Qing Dynasty is dead. Except for a few old people and young people, who will care whether you are a prince, a county king, a Beile or a Beizi?
Ning Beile cupped his fists and said, "Dare you ask me your name?"
"My name is Ye Sanqi!" Ye Sanqi said, "As for my identity? I'm just a businessman."
"I've already said that I came here just to do some business with Nimbeile. Rather than letting outsiders make money, it's better to give the money to the bannermen. Do you think so?"
Ning Beile also sat down: "Mr. Ye, you don't seem to care much about the rules of the banner people?"
"What Ning Beile means is that we should abide by the old etiquette, right?" Ye Sanqi said: "If we follow the old etiquette, Ning Beile will have to ask An Daqian'er to see me."
"We have not only lost one thing from our ancestors, but we have not learned all the things from the foreigners. Therefore, there is no need to study some things in detail, just understand them in your heart."
Ye Sanqi's attitude clearly meant to lecture Ning Beile. Unexpectedly, Ning Beile's eyes shone brightly and he said, "I've been taught a lesson. I don't know what kind of business Mr. Ye wants to do?"
Ye Sanqi said: "I want to buy a place that is full of evil and open a casino. I wonder if there are any opportunities in Ningbeile?"
I had long expected that Ye Sanqi would open a casino. There are only a few side businesses that can be openly established in the city, including house cleaning, casinos, and opium dens. Ye Sanqi and Ninth Prince couldn't possibly touch Qinglou and the opium den, so they had no choice but to open a casino.
As soon as Ye Sanqi finished speaking, one of Ning Beile's subordinates said: "Friend, you came here to amuse us on purpose, right? Whoever sells a shop and picks out troublesome places thinks he will live longer?"
"Be presumptuous!" Ning Beile scolded his subordinates: "If you don't understand, don't talk casually or slap your mouth."
The subordinate slapped himself twice in the face, then bowed and said, "Mr. Ye, you are too talkative."
Ning Beile looked at Ye Sanqi again and said, "Mr. Ye, what else do you want besides that house?"
Ye Sanqi said: "Twelve people who have touched human lives on their hands, these twelve people can only be men, and their zodiac signs must also account for the twelve zodiac signs. Can you get them?"
Ning Beile thought for a while and said: "I'm afraid it's not easy to find, and it will take some time. Mr. Ye, can you tell me the truth about what you want these twelve people to do?"
Ye Sanqi said: "I want their lives. You can set the price as you like, but they must be alive before they come here."
Ning Beile took a breath of cold air: "Sir, you are a great talent, but it's just business, I don't dare to do it. You should hire someone else, sir!"
Ye Sanqi smiled faintly and took out a silver dollar from his body and placed it in front of Ning Beile: "This silver dollar is given to Boss Ning. You can come to me if you have figured it out before noon tomorrow."
"let's go!"
I followed Ye Sanqi and walked out of the agency. Ye Sanqi said: "If you are curious, why don't you stay and listen to what they say? I have to lead the people from Ningbeile to know the way. Otherwise, he will have to find someone tomorrow." Don’t worry about me anymore. Be careful not to let people from Nimbeile stare at you.”
I glanced behind me a few times, saw the opportunity to blend into the crowd, and quickly hid next door to the agency. I soon heard someone say through the wall: "Master Baylor, I think that person is just here to make trouble. In my whole life, I have never heard of anyone buying a ghost house and starting a business."
Ning Beile said: "It would be better if he was a liar. Just be afraid. He is really here to open a casino."
"I met a strange man in the world a few years ago. He told me a lot of anecdotes, including the idea of using ghost houses to open casinos. They deliberately found ghost houses in order to let the ghosts help the banker make money."
"People who enter the casino first have their wealth taken away by ghosts, and then they bet against the invisible dead. How capable are you to beat the opponent? In that kind of casino, even if thousands of people enter, they have to bet against each other. Life is lost."
"Not many people in the world can set up such a casino!"
The person who spoke also took a breath of cold air: "Then why does he want twelve living people?"
Ning Beile said: "In any casino, there must be people watching the scene. Once you meet a master, you have to take action to control the scene. Others use living people to watch the scene, but he uses dead people to watch the scene. A dead person represents an hour. , twelve dead people, wouldn’t it just last a day and a night?”
The man asked back: "Aren't there already ghosts in his casino? Why do he still let dead people watch the casino?"
Ning Beile said: "I only know that in that kind of casino, people can gamble in it, and ghosts can gamble in it. You can win money from living people, and you can also win money from dead people. I can't tell you the specific details."
"If that Ye Sanqi can run such a casino, there won't be many people in Abacus City who can offend him."
"This Ye Sanqi really gave me a big problem!"
The subordinate said again: "Master Beile, don't worry too much about that Ye Sanqi. There are many capable people in Abacus City! I don't believe it, no one can deal with him. If you are not worried, the silver dollar he left behind , I will send the things to Mr. Qin, he will definitely have a way to deal with it. "
"No!" Ning Beile shook his head and said: "Back then, that strange man made a prediction for me. He said: When I was thirty-five years old, I would have a big disaster. Unless, I met someone who gave me five pieces of silver. , can save my life."
"This year, I happen to be thirty-five. That Ye Sanqi gave me a piece of silver. Isn't that just five cents of silver?"
Ning Beile said: "Ye Sanqi, let me go to him at noon tomorrow and explain that these five pieces of silver can help me avoid a disaster tonight. If this piece of ocean really saves my life, Ye Sanqi's If it’s a deal, I’ll definitely take it.”
I know that Ye Sanqi will not leave a piece of ocean to Ningbeile for no reason. I am also curious about how this ocean can save Ningbeile's life.
