The courtyard of Shangjingfang is huge, and there are as many as 100 houses in it, all of which are small casinos.

The core area is a pentagonal building called Shangjing Tower, which has more than 20 rooms in width and depth, with a total height of six floors, far beyond the main building of the general princely mansion, and the nine-story tower of the main hall of the imperial city.

Just looking at its size, in this era, it is the absolute central business district.

It's just a pity that the main business here is only gambling, even if there are restaurants and temporary rest places, they are all for gambling.

Li Ji swaggered and walked over directly.

At the end of the stone steps of the upper well is a vermilion lacquered main entrance.

On both sides of the main entrance, there are sixteen welcoming girls. There are also two men in Tsing Yi, one tall and one short, warmly greeting the guests coming in and out, all of them looking flattering.

Seeing Li Ji coming over, the two of them immediately stopped him, looked up and down many times, and then said with contempt:

"Stop, what are you doing?"

"Trespassing in here is a matter of getting beaten, you know?"

One of them is short and stout, the other is thin and tall, although their appearance is very different, but they are the same as dogs.

Li Ji looked at the people who came in and out, all of them were full of fat and wrapped in silk and satin, although they pulled out layers of swimming rings, they were very bloated and ugly, but they were indescribably gorgeous and rich.

Looking at his robe again, I noticed that the plain clothes and blue ribbon are as clear as clouds, such a dress is too simple, and it has nothing to do with luxury!

Immediately grinned: "Isn't this a casino? I'm here to gamble!"

"Do you have enough money with you?"

The short and fat cheeks bulged when he spoke, and the fat on his face rippled layer by layer.

The thin and tall man's cheeks were shriveled and collapsed, much like a skeleton, but his speech was even more gloomy: "You are dressed like this, the rich women in Jingdu City can look at it, and it's okay to be a little white face." But there are all the officials here, no one is good at this! Get out!"

Li Ji saw that the cultivation of these two people was still in the Qi refining period, and their status was low, so he suddenly lost interest in competing with them.

Thinking of the importance of making money, I couldn't help asking: "I don't know how many silver taels I need to bring to enter this building?"

The short and thick nostrils were facing the sky, and he exaggeratedly spewed out two puffs of white gas: "Fifty thousand taels of silver!"

When Li Ji heard this, he didn't say a word, and directly took out the storage bag containing gold and silver from the Yunxue space.

The slender and tall man smiled gloomily: "These 50,000 taels of silver are your accumulated consumption in Shangjingfang, or the money you won from Shangjingfang! It's not that you can enter and exit casually if you have 50,000 taels of silver!"

Since Shangjingfang is a casino, it must have raised a lot of gambling masters, and it is not easy to win 50,000 taels? To meet the conditions, the only possibility is to lose to them 50,000 taels.

But in these small casinos outside, it takes a lot of time to lose 50,000 taels!

Li Ji was troublesome and asked, "If I pay an entrance fee of 50,000 taels, can I enter this door directly?"

Short and fat and thin and tall glanced at each other, and at the same time showed a look of disdain, and said in a short and fat urn voice: "If you have the ability, you can take it out! Take it out, and our brothers will let you in immediately!"

Hearing his strange voice, the sixteen beautiful welcoming girls on the side covered their mouths and laughed.

Li Ji didn't say a word, and handed over the five storage bags containing gold and silver.

Thin and tall opened one casually, but saw that there was a glittering light inside, although the specific number could not be accurately estimated, but ten thousand taels were more than a lot. Open another storage bag and still do it.

One storage bag is 10,000 taels, and five are 50,000 taels.

I didn't expect this poor sour to be so rich!

Even the welcoming girls on the side couldn't help but look at each other and wanted to exclaim.

But the two of them were embarrassed, they were just ordinary stewards, and they had no right to let people into the upper well and the platform at will. I just talked nonsense, but I didn't expect it to overturn!

The short and fat eyes rolled, played tricks on the spot, threw five storage bags on Li Ji, and waved to the side: "This person doesn't have enough money, everyone throws him out!"

Suddenly, there were more than 20 big men with their arms rolled up their sleeves and surrounded them.

These people's cultivation has all reached the high level of the foundation building stage, and more than 20 people are working together, and their strength is extremely terrifying! It is enough to deal with ordinary people!

Li Ji pondered in his heart, should he make trouble first or earn money first? If there was a fight, would the silver still be easy to earn?

At this moment, a clear man's voice came from the pentagonal tower: "Fat three, thin four, who are you two bullying?"

Immediately, the main door opened, and a twenty-year-old brocade robe boy walked out of it.

This son is as rich as jade and very handsome. He was followed by ten girls in white, all with beautiful faces and slender figures.

Fat Three and Thin Four are obviously nicknames, not real names.

When the short, stout, thin and tall saw this person, they showed a servile appearance, and shouted respectfully: "Xiang Gongzi, why did you alarm you?"

The short and fat glanced at each other, and the big men quickly turned away.

"If I don't come out again, you've all rebelled?"

The brocade-robed boy snorted, turned his face and smiled at Li Ji and said, "This boy, the gatekeeper is messing around! Don't you mind! Below is Xiang Yabai, the owner of Shangjingfang, who apologizes to you here!"

Li Ji nodded, and handed over the storage bag in his hand: "It's not a big deal! This is silver tael, I want to go in and gamble!"

Xiang Yabai gently pushed the storage bag back and said: "There are no rules, there is no circle, and the rules cannot be broken wherever you go! The rules of Shangjingfang, accumulate 50,000 taels of silver, or win 50,000 taels from Shangjingfang, before you can enter the Shangjing Tower!"

Li Ji said: "But these two people just said that if they pay 50,000 taels of silver, they can enter this building directly." Since they are your men, what they have said should also be counted on your head."

Xiang Yabai was slightly entangled, and suddenly smiled and said: "Shangjingfang is open to do business, how can there be a reason to refuse money?

Li Ji smiled: "Thank you so much for Xiang Gongzi!"

Xiang Yabai laughed: "You're welcome. I'm a person who loves to make friends!

The main door of the Shangjing platform opened, and the two walked in slowly.

In front of him is a huge screen. The sound of gurgling water and the deep and euphemistic guzheng song came from behind the screen.

Turning the screen, the scene presented in front of him couldn't help but make Li Ji's eyes light up.

There is no noise and noise of ordinary casinos, and there are only five gaming tables in the huge indoor space, which are placed in the center and the four corners of the southeast, northwest and northwest. The rest of the open space was covered with all kinds of exotic flowers and plants. Although it is autumn now, it is still lush indoors.

The small bridge flows and the winding path leads to the secluded, as if entering a paradise.

Jingdu is a prosperous place of smoke and willows. In the center of Jingdu, there is such a natural scene, which is really refreshing.

Xiang Yabai pointed to the four corners and introduced: "There are four tables in the southeast, northwest and northwest, at least 1,000 taels of bets each time, and the big round table under the central pavilion is at least 10,000 taels each time! ”

The owner of the cabinet, that is, the casino dealer, is mainly responsible for the killing and compensation of the table.

Li Ji has learned that the consumption of ordinary people in this era, even in a wealthy place like Jingdu, a medium-sized family of four spends only ten taels of silver a year.

So, a thousand taels is not less.

Xiang Yabai ordered the maid to take two wine bottles, he took one, handed one to Li Ji, and said with a smile: "A glass of light wine, Xiang Mou will make you a friend!" After speaking, he drank it all.

Li Ji took the wine bottle and couldn't help frowning:

Drugged in wine!
