Chapter 82: Casino Royale
"This ...... This is the palace!" Guo Xiaotu opened his mouth and said in surprise: "How can the emperor live in so many houses alone, if there is no Xiaobai to lead the way, it is simply impossible to find a person in this kind of place!"
The palace of the Great Song Dynasty is modeled after the Luoyang Palace, built on the basis of the old palace of the five dynasties, Zhao Kuangyin is not a particular person, although it is a change of dynasty, but there is no major construction, so the palace under the twilight, majestic and desolate, look at it, large and small houses do not know how many rooms, Dongfang Xiaoyue followed her father into the palace before, but there is nothing surprising, but Guo Xiaotu was shocked by the scenery in front of him.

"I said, which room are you two in?" A thin old eunuch walked up to him, followed by four little eunuchs, and when he saw that the status of this old eunuch was not low, he said in a sharp voice: "Don't you understand the rules, do you?
Dongfang Xiaoyue was afraid of revealing flaws, so she hurriedly lowered her head, Guo Xiaotu didn't know what to say, just looked at the old eunuch with a pair of big eyes, and a little eunuch stepped forward and scolded: "You two guys who have been stabbed by a thousand knives, don't you know Grandpa Wang, the head of the Vertical Arch Palace? Grandpa Wang asks you, you dare not answer, your flesh is itchy, right?"
The Vertical Arch Hall is the place where the emperor listens to politics on weekdays, and can be the head of the Vertical Arch Palace, and all the civil and military officials have to tie up with this Wang Gonggong, who has long been used to being powerful, and the little eunuch next to him is naturally also a fox and a fake tiger, Guo Xiaotu suddenly remembered what Guan Er Ye had explained before, and hurriedly said: "The two of us were transferred from Yanfu Palace to help, I really don't know that there are such rules in the palace." ”
Guo Xiaotu must have said that the confidant was from Yanfu Palace, and the little eunuch's face immediately showed a trace of contempt, this Yanfu Palace is the most unpopular among so many palaces, not to mention the small scale, still outside the palace, the little eunuch said: "Are you so unruly outside the palace? "Roll up your sleeves and step forward to slap your mouth.
"Wait!" Wang Gonggong stopped: "Xiao Dezi brought the lantern to the Sprinkle family." A little eunuch behind him immediately sent a lantern over, Wang Gonggong took the lantern and illuminated Guo Xiaotu's face, a pair of dead fish-like eyes stared at Guo Xiaotu tightly, and Guo Xiaotu's heart was hairy, Dongfang Xiaoyue on the side was also sweating, and said in her heart: "Could it be that someone has seen through it before anything has been done, this father-in-law stared at the rabbit like this, did he see that something was wrong?"
"Not bad, not bad!" Father-in-law Wang suddenly showed a strange smile in his eyes, and said, "This child is really handsome, I haven't seen such a lovely child in many years." After speaking, he stretched out his hand like a chicken paw and pinched Guo Xiaotu's pink face, and said with an obscene smile: "This skin is smooth and smooth, just like a girl, come to the vertical arch hall at night to find a sprinkle family, and serve comfortably, and ensure that you can live a good life in this palace in the future!"
"The dead father-in-law who cut off his children and grandchildren!" Looking at the back of Wang's father-in-law, Guo Xiaotu scolded: "They have all become eunuchs, and they are still so hateful, Brother Dongfang, you said that he told me to go to him, what can I do?
Dongfang Xiaoyue sighed and said with a smile: "You still don't want to know about the filthiness in this, anyway, let's leave the palace after we finish our work, maybe we won't see him in this life, don't take it to heart." ”
"She pinched and molded me just now, I really want to stab him to death with a stab at my eyebrows!" Guo Xiaotu said angrily: "When I'm done, maybe I'll really go to him and let him know how good I Guo Xiaotu is!"
Dongfang Xiaoyue said solemnly: "Don't mess around, since this Father-in-law Wang is the chief eunuch of the Vertical Arch Palace, he is naturally still responsible for the safety of the emperor when he went to court, and his martial arts will naturally not be bad, I heard that this Father-in-law Wang's martial arts are much higher than the ordinary golden dragon guards, and it is better to provoke such a person!"
"It's so dangerous!" Guo Xiaotu stuck out his tongue and said, "It's good that I didn't do it just now, otherwise the person who suffered would probably be me." Looking at the sky, it was almost completely dark, Dongfang Xiaoyue said: "There is one thing I have always been curious about, it is said that birds can't see things clearly at night, why do you want to let Xiaobai show you the way at night?"
Guo Xiaotu said: "Do you know, the pigeon is different from other birds, although it can not see clearly at night, it does not fly by eye, I still have not figured out how the pigeon can accurately find the way back to the nest at night, but the pigeon has this special ability." ”
"Then I'm relieved. Dongfang Xiaoyue said: "Now let's go our separate ways, be careful in everything, no matter what, we have to go back to Second Master Guan, understand?"
Guo Xiaotu nodded, blew the pigeon whistle gently, and soon Xiaobai fell, Guo Xiaotu followed Xiaobai and gradually walked away, Dongfang Xiaoyue lowered her head, bent over, and walked towards a eunuch not far away.
Gambling is a very wonderful thing, as long as there are people where there must be betting, there will be winners and losers, those who win are elated, and those who lose are naturally depressed. Dongfang Xiaoyue asked other eunuchs about this casino in the palace, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw a dejected little eunuch, with tears in her eyes, looking at other gambling eunuchs unconvinced, it is estimated that she has lost a lot of silver. The eunuchs are basically the children of the bitter family, but if there is a little way, who wants to enter the palace as a eunuch, in addition to food and clothing, the eunuchs do not have much, how can there be no distress after losing the silver.
Dongfang Xiaoyue was looking for this kind of person, so she hurriedly walked over, pinched her throat and said, "Father-in-law, I am new from Yanfu Palace, and I want to play tricks, I don't know what your rules are, do you have a big time?"
"Go, go, go!" Few people who lost money were in a good mood, and the little eunuch said impatiently: "This is the palace, how can you compare with that small Yanfu Palace, where do you make a small fuss, the games here are all real money, don't be embarrassed." ”
If it were on weekdays, Dongfang Xiaoyue would not even look at this villain who was becoming inflammatory, but now she suppressed her momentum, and said coldly: "Although Yanfu Palace is not big, my piece of silver is big enough, right?" It turned out to be the father-in-law of Yanfu Palace, we have everything to play here, betting on size, betting on pai gow, betting on dice, as long as you want to play, there is no upper limit, you have a good time!"
Dongfang Xiaoyue was amused in her heart and said, "Since it's so fun here, why does my father-in-law look sad?"
"It's not that I'm out of luck, and I've lost all the money I've saved in the past two years. The little eunuch said: "The people in the palace are stingy, and they can't borrow some silver if they want to. As he spoke, the little eunuch's eyes were fixed on the ingot.
Dongfang Xiaoyue knew that the little eunuch had taken the bait, so she deliberately covered the silver ingots with her hands, and said: "My silver is not picked up for nothing, if I lend it to you to turn over the book, how can I play it myself?"
The little eunuch hurriedly smiled and said: "My name is Xiaobeizi, I have been in the palace since I was a child, and I am also an old man in this palace, you first came to the palace, the water in this is deep, I will take you, not to mention anything else, this unjust road can be walked a lot, you can weigh it yourself." ”
Dongfang Xiaoyue tried hard to squeeze out a little humble smile, and said: "It turned out to be Xiaobeizi's father-in-law, to be honest, I also know people in this palace, I have a distant cousin who entered the palace a few years earlier, this time I have the opportunity to enter the palace, and I also want to find a chance to meet him, since my father-in-law has been in the palace for many years, the people I know must be indispensable, if you can help me find this relative, this ingots should be the tea money for filial piety to my father-in-law." ”
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say!" Xiao Beizi's heart was already happy, but he still pretended to be scheming on his face, and asked: "But I don't know who your relative's surname is, maybe it happens to be someone I know?"
Dongfang Xiaoyue said: "After many years, all the people in his family have died cleanly, and the tuba is no longer known, only that there is a nickname called 'Little Collapse'." Seeing that Xiaobeizi's face was difficult, she quickly took out the shadow diagram that had already been drawn from her sleeve, opened it, and said: "I drew a picture based on my impression, and I don't know if it's accurate, so I ask my father-in-law to take a look." Xiao Beizi took the picture, only glanced at it, and there was a look of horror in his eyes, he looked at Dongfang Xiaoyue in surprise, and stammered: "You...... The person you're looking for is his ......!"
