There is nothing to say about this matter. It is really not unusual for the head hunter to live in the same nest as the local snake and rat.
Lin Ji was like this when he was a head catcher. If he only relied on monthly money, how could he support all kinds of delicious food every day.
When Song Da opened a casino in the county, he gave him money and gifts in various ways, and it was difficult not to accept them.
The only difference is that although he accepted the money in the end, he did not allow Song Da to exceed the bottom line. If he caused any trouble because of the casino, he would never spare Song Da.
In Qingyang County, apart from the county magistrate, he was the one whom Song Tianzi did not dare to provoke.
Therefore, the casinos in Qingyang County have been open for many years. Even if the most brainless gambler loses everything, Song Da will even give him some money to go back to live, and threaten to break his legs if he dares to gamble again.
Ridiculous, but effective.
At least there were no families in Qingyang County that were ruined due to gambling.
Being poor will at least not drive you to death, but you can still survive.
It is said that blocking is worse than opening up.
Some people cannot be saved, and thousands of words of advice are of no use.
It's like telling Zhou Qian not to visit brothels. He said it would be better to die if he didn't visit brothels.
Good words can't persuade a damn ghost.
Obviously, this Sishui County is different.
...
Some things will be settled after autumn, so Lin Ji doesn't bother to pay attention to them for the time being.
After finding out the location of the casino from Niu Captou, Lin Ji left with Huang Cui.
Return to the inn.
In just a short while, the person behind the counter in the lobby was replaced by a middle-aged man with a goatee.
The man narrowed his eyes and always had a smile on his lips.
At this time, many people were eating in the lobby of the inn. The man smiled and said: "Everyone, starting from today, this inn has changed its owner, but everything remains the same. Today's meal is my invitation to you."
"Waiter, give each table a jug of good wine!"
The waiter immediately responded. He was just a part-time worker. As long as he had money, he didn't care who the boss was.
Lin Ji secretly regretted leaving early. The seafood dinner he just had was not cheap.
But no matter how thick-skinned he was, he couldn't say anything to ask the new shopkeeper to refund his money, so he could only go upstairs and return to the room with some inexplicable resentment.
In the evening, Lin Ji called Huang Cui out, and they left the inn together.
"Let's go to the casino together."
Huang Cui is indispensable.
According to Niu Captou, the two quickly found the location of the casino.
From the outside, it looks like a teahouse, with the four characters "Open Source Tea House" written on the sign.
Open source, no matter how you look at it, you can make money from it.
For a teahouse to have such a name, it almost seems like there is something wrong with it on the facade.
When he walked into the teahouse, he was greeted by a young boy. Lin Ji got straight to the point and said, "A friend introduced me, and I'm here to play a few games."
The waiter immediately understood and led Lin Ji to an empty room with a smile, and then opened the secret door on the wall.
As soon as the secret door opened, Lin Ji could hear the noisy sounds inside.
He led Huang Cui along the secret door and walked in. The moment he opened the door curtain, a not too big gambling hall appeared in front of them.
The boy who led the way left, and was replaced by a young man with a sinister look and an angry look on his face.
"You two look familiar."
"Introduced by a friend."
"Want to play something?"
"The sieve is the easiest, just play with the sieve." Lin Ji socialized casually, and then brought Huang Cui to the gambling table.
After finding a seat and sitting down, Lin Ji was not in a hurry to place a bet, but carefully observed the expressions of the gamblers.
At this moment, the group of people surrounding the gambling table almost all had red eyes and thick necks, staring at the sieve cup in the dealer's hand.
The frequency of their breathing seemed to resonate with the frequency of the shaking of the sieve cup, and they had lost their minds.
"Brother Lin..." Huang Cui suddenly tugged on Lin Ji's sleeve.
"What's wrong?"
"There is something strange here." Huang Cui said, holding out a finger, with a small insect stuck on it.
"It told me that there is a formation here..."
Lin Ji raised his eyebrows: "Do your Huang family's Gu insects still have such ability?"
Huang Cui nodded and said: "The formation is to disrupt Yin and Yang, and it is an orderly disruption. As long as I, the spirit-detecting insect, find an imbalance in Yin and Yang, I will respond."
"Interesting." Lin Ji smiled, noncommittal.
As soon as he entered, he found that the place was shrouded in formations.
It's not a profound formation, it just has the effect of disturbing people's minds and amplifying negative emotions.
It is to make people who are not impulsive become impulsive and let people who are already impulsive take over.
This formation is perfect for use in casinos.
While thinking about it, Lin Ji pretended to put his hand on his chest, but actually took out a stack of silver notes from Qiankun in his sleeve.
Speaking of which, he found this from the house of his predecessor when he was the chief arrester in Liangcheng. Although he had spent a lot over the past year, he couldn't bear the money.
One thousand taels of silver notes amounted to a stack of fifty thousand taels.
When Lin Ji slapped the one thousand taels on the table, the banker holding the sieve cup was stunned.
The bills come in different denominations and sizes, and the stack of banknotes from the Lin family is really eye-catching.
"How does this friend want to play?" the dealer asked with a smile.
"I'll play whatever everyone wants to do." As he said this, Lin Ji casually took out two banknotes and pressed them on the big table.
"Buy it and leave!" The dealer's voice became louder.
After shaking the sieve, open the sieve cup.
"One, two, four, little!"
The dealer took the money with a smile and looked at Lin Ji, as if he was afraid that Lin Ji would stop playing if he lost.
Lin Jize didn't say a word, and pressed two more banknotes on top.
This time, he won.
I got back the two thousand taels of silver notes I just exported.
Lin Ji pressed all four silver notes on Xiao Shang.
In fact, there are other options such as straights and leopards on the gambling table, and the odds are also different.
But Lin Ji ignored them all and only played with the big and small.
Time passed quickly at the gambling table. Unknowingly, Lin Ji became like the gamblers around him, staring at the sieve cup with red eyes.
When he won, he would laugh loudly and look at the dealer defiantly.
When he lost, he smashed the wine glass next to him.
There were losses and wins, and his mood kept rising and falling.
Before I knew it, it was already late at night.
Lin Ji went back and forth and gave away twenty thousand taels.
"Brother Lin, it's almost done." Huang Cui persuaded from the side.
"Don't stop me! I won't leave until I return home today!"
Huang Cui smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Lin, don't forget the business! If it's only tens of thousands taels, it's gone. It doesn't matter if you lose so much, but it will be troublesome if you delay the business..."
Hearing this, Lin Ji seemed to be waking up from a dream.
"That's it for today. I'll come back tomorrow! I have to win your casino!"
After the words fell, Lin Ji staggered out of the casino with Huang Cui's support.
After walking away, Lin Ji yawned and said nonchalantly: "Something was done to me."
