Chapter 125: The Gambling House
After a while, only Shao Nianshi was left at the gate of this wharf.
Shao Nianshi only thought it was funny, looked at the back of the group of people, shook his head, and continued to walk in the direction of the front street.
After this one-time library, he met this wave of people again, so he simply put everything he wanted to do on the spot, and he didn't have to run in the general direction many times.
This time, Shao Nianshi's goal was very clear, that is, to go straight to the Fulai Casino.
This trip to Jicheng was not in vain when Shao Nian went.
He followed the master of the first family into the city, but most of the time was at his own disposal.
And during his trip to Jicheng, he never went to see the Daming Lake that resounded through Shandong Province, nor did he go to visit the central street where the old shops were entrenched.
He looked for a big shopkeeper who was very familiar with the situation in Jecheng, and went straight to the flower and bird cultural play market on Jecheng's own street.
In this market, half of the country is occupied by flowers and plants, and the other half is occupied by birds and animals.
Of course, the birds and beasts here counter the birds and crickets that came from Beiping City, and they are also the favorite birds and crickets of the nobles of the previous dynasty.
For the sake of the old nobles and banner people entrenched in Jeseong, the targeted pavement was specially opened.
Among these shops, Shao Nian focused on the poultry shops and the thriving cricket business.
He even met two dog owners.
After meeting with several shopkeepers on the other side, this Shao Nian came out of it, and there was no difference between entering and coming out, but there was a bit of satisfaction on his face.
What he did when he went in and what he inquired about, no one else knew.
But when he left Jeseong, he had an extra list in his hand that only people in that industry would pay attention to.
What is written on this list?
The ratio of feed for all kinds of things, among which there are some secret recipes that have been circulated on a small scale.
And what did Shao Nian give?
An empty glove for the white wolf's protocol.
There is an agreement on the introduction of varieties of fighting insects.
And whether this agreement can be strung into a line from top to bottom depends on whether the owner of Fulai Casino has the brains to make this move.
Shao Nianshi didn't have much concern about the outcome of the other party's choice.
Because if the owner of the gambling house does not agree to this matter, there will be no big loss for him.
It's just that the middle steps are a little more cumbersome, and a few more people need to help him run errands, and connect those scattered insect catchers and chicken farmers to himself.
Thinking of this, Shao Nian tidied up his rather decent robe, bypassed the slightly lively main entrance of the gambling house, and arrived at the side door where nothing was allowed to knock.
When he finished knocking on the door according to the process of inquiry, the wooden door, which was not too big, opened a crack in the inside.
Seeing that there was a boy with a face standing outside, the porter guarding the door was quite vigilant, and asked with a deliberately suppressed force: "Who are you doing here?"
Shao Nianshi didn't have half a bit of fear, just put one hand behind his back, and the other hand to the end of his waist, and returned to the person in the door: "The shopkeeper of the first grain store, come to the door to ask to see the boss of the gambling house." ”
"I have a business that is very similar to the gambling house, and I want to talk to him. ”
Listening to the concierge inside, what is there to talk about between the shopkeeper of a grain and oil shop and the owner of a gambling house?
But he was just a porter.
I don't have that much authority to turn away the shopkeeper of a shop.
Even if this is just a small shopkeeper, as long as it is contaminated with the first word, he can't wait for it.
So the porter was quite cautious, and when he closed the door again, he deliberately apologized to Shao Nian: "This shopkeeper, you wait here, I'll go first to report it, and I'll give you the letter after a while." ”
It should be like this, Shao Nian has nothing to do.
He was not anxious when he saw the gate closed, but he found a place outside the door that could provide a little shade, and waited quietly for the door to open again.
Sure enough, in a short time, the door was ajar.
A slightly fierce-looking man poked his head out of it, and at a glance he saw the only person outside the door, Shao Nianshi.
The man didn't speak, but only arched his hand towards Shao Nianshi and made a tacit gesture of please.
After retreating into the door, he avoided the half-open door for Shao Nianshi.
I saw that the black hole in the courtyard was pitch black, and because of the backlight, it looked a little gloomy.
But the young shopkeeper did not have the slightest fear, but just lifted the hem of his clothes, and stepped through the threshold of the side door very simply, and followed the man who led the way into the door.
'Squeak'
The side doors closed slowly, as if dividing day and night into two distinct halves.
Shao Nianshi passed through a corridor in this way, and came to the source of the darkness, the outer hall where Boss Shi met guests.
When he stayed indoors, Shao Nian understood the reason for the darkness in the inner courtyard of the house.
The reason for this is that the antechamber is connected to the Colosseum in the backyard.
Except for the open door in front of the house, there is not a single window in the black hole in the house.
Shao Nianshi didn't look at it at the top of his head, but he only needed to sweep his eyes and understand that the window of this room was a skylight directly above.
There is only one way to get in and out.
If the people in the casino don't let people go, the backyard is like the strongest cage, which can be entered and exited.
Seeing this, if Shao Nian was not panicked, I am afraid that he really looked down on this sixteen-year-old young man.
But when he thought about it, the purpose of his trip made him feel a little more steady.
When the person was brought to the center of the hall, it was discovered that there were only three people in the room.
No wonder it was strange again when Shao Nian was in the past.
It's really not a big hall, but it's magnificent, and I always feel that there should be more people filling it in such a rich place.
It's just that there is only one person living here, and there are two bodyguards behind him, who don't even have a seat, which is just a little strange.
The person on the other side was hidden in the hall where Shao Nian felt rich and boundless, Xu saw the expression on the young man's face, and he didn't know what he was thinking, so he actually smiled a little proudly.
"Haha, presumably this is the shopkeeper Shao, he is really young and promising. ”
"Today, the shopkeeper Shao came to the boundary of my Fulai Casino, and that is the guest who came to the door. ”
"You think of this place as an old friend's home, but don't feel cramped. ”
"Ryder, why don't you serve tea to the guests?"
