Chapter 1144: The gambling debtor repays
Hearing what Long Xingshan said, Jiang Yan felt a little like laughing, if there are people in the Demon Gate who love to gamble, then, in the eyes of the people in the Demon Gate, being able to gamble can be regarded as a talent. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
If you count, it will save a lot of trouble, and I still have the skill of "male god gambling", and I have never had the opportunity to show it, but now, it can come in handy.
"By the way, the identity of the ancestor is your Suicong, you call him Longbo, and he will call you the young master. At this time, Longxingshan introduced the identity of Longgen Ancestor to Jiang Yan again.
Hearing what Longxingshan said, Jiang Yan noticed that Longgen Ancestor was really dressed up in a casual manner, and Longgen Ancestor also deliberately hid his domineering, coupled with this dress, he looked like a little dry old man, his expression was very funny, and he couldn't help but almost laugh: "Haha, hello Longbo." ”
"Young Master, the old slave is all ready, and he will listen to the young master's orders!" and the Dragon Root Ancestor also replied seriously.
Everyone couldn't have imagined that the old and serious Longgen Ancestor would actually joke like this, and everyone couldn't help but laugh.
"Jiang Ci's identity is the granddaughter of the ancestor, and at the same time, she is also your maid, you can call her Xiaoci, she is the same as the ancestor, she must call you young master. Longxingshan introduced Jiang Ci's identity to Jiang Yan again.
"Young master, the little maid is polite. As soon as he heard his identity, Jiang Ci suddenly said to Jiang Yan playfully.
"Haha, if I really had a maid as beautiful as you, then I would wake up laughing in my dreams!" Jiang Yan laughed.
I don't know why, Jiang Yan's joking words made Jiang Ci blush.
The identities of everyone were clear to each other, and then, Long Xingshan said some precautions again, Jiang Yan, Long Gen Ancestor, Jiang Ci, and the three of them drove off in a car.
In fact, Jingnan City is divided into four areas: east, south, west and north, in the eyes of normal people, on which area is the most prosperous, it naturally belongs to the South District, because the South District basically belongs to the downtown business district, and many rich and powerful big bosses in Jingnan live in the South District.
But in fact, the really prosperous place is the northern district of Jingnan, the northern district is mixed, there are people of all numbers, public security is also chaotic, the crime rate is extremely high, and it is difficult to manage locally, basically turn a blind eye, it is precisely because of the chaos in the northern district that overshadows its prosperity, some rich people in Jingnan City are not willing to live here, let alone invest here. As a result, the reputation of the Northern Economic Region was gradually replaced by that of the Southern District. However, the prosperity of the northern district is no less than that of the southern district.
It is precisely because the North District is prosperous, but it is chaotic, but it is the place where those members of the hidden family like to stay, because in the North District, there are not so many rules and regulations, you can play to your heart's content, and there are few people in the North District to manage, so it is more fun and free to play.
Originally, there were many hidden families active in the North District, but since the people in the Demon Gate liked to go to the North District, other hidden families unconsciously withdrew from the North District, because they all knew that the Demon Gate was powerful and domineering, and they couldn't afford to hide.
The city of Jingnan is very large, and it takes at least four or five hours to drive from the southern district to the northern district, so in order not to attract attention, a group of three people, drove for three hours, and then took a bus for three hours to reach the area of the northern district.
After arriving in the North District, Jiang Yan learned that the prosperity of the North District of Jingnan City is different from the South District, which is full of high-rise buildings, while the North District has few high-rise buildings like that. Walking on the street, Jiang Yan felt that there were several times more people in the northern district than in the southern district.
As soon as they arrived in the North District, the three of them felt a little hungry and planned to go for a meal first. Anyway, if you want to break into the demon gate, it's not a matter of one or two days, if you're lucky, you may have a chance in ten days and half a month, and if you're unlucky, you may even have to take several months.
The buildings in the North District, unlike the South District, are biased towards European style, but the North District is very antique, looking at it, whether it is a house or a shop, it is full of some ancient buildings, and those who do not understand the situation think that they have traveled to ancient times.
The hotels in the North District are also very distinctive, and many of them are like some wine shops and inns in ancient times, which are antique and make people have the illusion of returning to the old times.
Moreover, the waiter of the hotel is also very peculiar, it is completely the dress of those shop children on TV, wearing a green cloth gown, a towel on the shoulder, a only look, seeing a guest come in, he immediately greeted with a smile: "The guest officer is here, please!"
As a veteran figure in the hermit family, Longgen Ancestor naturally used to come to the North District often, and it was not strange to see it, but Jiang Yan and Jiang Ci were coming to this kind of place for the first time, and they were very surprised by all the retro-style patterns here.
They all belong to Jingnan City, but one south and one north, and the regions are different, but they feel as if they have come to two different worlds.
"Young master, look, let's choose to eat at this inn, okay?" walked in front of a restaurant, that restaurant, also said so-and-so inn, Longgen Ancestor proposed.
This Longgen Ancestor entered the play very quickly, and as soon as he entered the area of the North District, he opened and closed his mouth and called Jiang Yan the young master.
"Xiao Ci, how are you?" Jiang Yan was also unambiguous in acting, putting on a young master's style, and asked Jiang Ci beside him.
"Xiaoci is just a maid, how can she have the power to decide anything, naturally she all listen to her grandfather and young master. "I can't see it, Jiang Ci is also an acting material.
"Hahaha, okay, let's go in and have a look. ”
As soon as the three of them walked into the inn, a shopkeeper greeted them with a smile: "Are there three guest officers?
The shopkeeper brought the three of them to a table, and the table was also very distinctive, the table of eight immortals, and everything in it was antique.
After the three of them ordered the food, Jiang Yan looked at the inn carefully.
Everything in this inn seems to have been transported from ancient times, and there are many guests in the inn.
Jiang Yan seems to suddenly understand why there are so many people in this northern area, probably because the antique flavor here is too strong, and many people, through some ancient martial arts TV series, want to find some ancient plots, so they came here.
And those people from the hidden family are a little out of touch with the real world, and the environment here seems to be more suitable for their appetite, so they come to the North District more.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yan suddenly had a question: Everything here is too antique, so when the bill is paid later, will the store receive only silver instead of money.
And this question, Longgen Ancestor quickly answered it on his behalf: Of course, it is money that is collected, not silver, where does so much silver come from in this world?
Although everything around is very retro, the speed of the inn is very fast, in line with the rhythm of modern life, and after a while, all the meals will come up.
"I'm looking at a few of you, it's the first time I've come to the northern district of Keonnan. "Like the shopkeepers on TV, the shopkeepers here are very talkative, and after serving all the dishes to the three of them, they began to talk to each other.
"How did my brother know that I was here for the first time? Jiang Yan knew in his heart that these shopkeepers had a lot of contact with every day, although they were big mouths, but it was often these people who knew the more they knew the inside story, perhaps, they could find out something about the Demon Gate from his mouth.
The second child in this shop is about a little over 20 years old, about the same as himself, so he is called his little brother.
"Hahaha, I'm sharp-eyed, as soon as I look at you and this beauty, I look around, with a curious face, I know that you are here for the first time!" "What's the matter, are you here for a tour?"
"Little second brother has good eyesight, this is the young master of our family, and this is my granddaughter. My lord is nowhere to be found because of the failure of his business, and my young master is very depressed because he is in the middle of the family and does not know the whereabouts of his parents, so I want to take him out, one is to distract himself, and the other is to see if I can find out the whereabouts of our lord. Longgen Ancestor said calmly, looking intimate.
"Haha, then you guys are really in the right place, because the northern district of Jingnan City is mixed, and there are many people from all over Huaxia, and they will flee to this place, perhaps, you can really find out who you are looking for here." The shopkeeper said proudly.
"That's right, I've been here before, so I'm here to try my luck with the young master this time. Longgen Ancestor nodded, and then asked, "By the way, Little Second Brother, do you know if there is a famous gambling house nearby?"
When Longgen Ancestor asked this, the shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and the people sitting at the tables next to him couldn't help but move, and looked at this side a few times intentionally or unintentionally.
"Of course there is a gambling house, what's the matter? Aren't you here to find people and relax? Do you still want to play two games?"
"You don't know this, our master, is because he is too good at gambling, so he almost lost all his property and ran away from the business bankruptcy, although he is now running away, but his character I know best, wherever he goes, he will itch his hands and want to gamble twice, and he will never go to that kind of small casino, he must go to some larger gambling stalls. "Regarding this visit to the North District, in order to hide people's eyes, the three of them have already thought of an excuse, so when it comes to it, it is not leaky.
Hearing Longgen Ancestor say this, the shopkeeper seemed to relax his vigilance, and the people sitting at the table next to him also seemed to be relieved.
"Hehe, it's easy to know about the bigger gambling houses, there are a few, in our neighborhood, very famous, respectively......" When the shopkeeper said this, suddenly a noise came, mixed with scolding and women's cries.
This inn, in fact, is a hotel, is divided into two floors, and the scolding and the woman's cry came from upstairs, and after a while, I saw several tall men, dragging a woman down from the upper floor.
Those men, Kong Wu looked powerful, scolded in their mouths, and knew at a glance that they were people who looked like thugs. And that girl, about sixteen or seventeen years old, was delicate and handsome, and she was already crying like a tearful person at this time.
"Hehe, really talking about Cao Cao, Cao Cao has arrived, didn't you just ask us about the famous gambling house near here? It's this royal gambling house, these people are the thugs of the Royal Casino. The shopkeeper smiled and pointed at the thug-looking people.
"Are they from the gambling house?, but why did you arrest that girl?" Jiang Yan said in a stunned manner.
"You don't know this, this girl, called Li Xiulian, here, everyone calls her Xiulian, the girl is a good girl, but unfortunately there is a father who is not successful, her father's name is Li Bucheng, is a famous gambler in this area, and nine out of ten gambles are lost, and he already owes millions of gambling debts to the Royal Gambling House, the Royal Gambling House has already spoken, give him a deadline to repay the debt, if he does not pay off the debt within this time limit, he will arrest his daughter Xiaolian and sell herself to pay off the gambling debt. The shopkeeper said lightly.
What? The father owes gambling debts, and if he can't pay them back, he has to arrest his daughter and sell herself to pay off the gambling debts? When Jiang Yan heard this, it was simply unimaginable, as if this kind of thing was only found in the old society, but he didn't expect it to happen in this society today.
Moreover, when this kind of thing happened, no public police officers bothered, and it seems that the security in this place is indeed very chaotic.
What's more, the people around who watched the excitement pointed their fingers, but no one stood up to express sympathy, it seems that the people here are used to this scene happening, and they are also very indifferent.
The thugs of the Royal Casino continued to drag Li Xiulian out, and Li Xiulian had already cried into a tearful person, disagreeing with life and death, crying and screaming for help, but no one was willing to help her. At this time, a person rolled down the stairs, he didn't care about the pain, stood up, and stopped in front of those thugs: "A few big brothers, please do well, let my daughter go, she is still young, if you arrest her to do that, then her life will be over!"
Jiang Yan couldn't help but glance at this person, this person looked extremely decadent, with a blue nose and swollen face, as if he had just been beaten up, he called Li Xiulian his daughter, then it should be Li Toulian's unsuccessful gambler father.
"Haha, this, Lao Tzu can't take care of it, we, just on the orders of the sixth master to arrest people, your daughter is not small, the place that should be big is already big, maybe the sixth master is pleasing to the eye, and immediately took her into a small one, then she doesn't have to sell it to that kind of place to pick up customers!" a thug YD smiled.
"No! Lao Tzu is fighting with you!" Li Bucheng suddenly flashed a trace of ruthlessness in his eyes, and he pounced on several thugs, but his thin body, which was the opponent of the other party? He was beaten to the ground with three punches and two feet.
