The guide walked and chattered to us about the various miracles of the Jiang family. After walking for about half an hour, we walked to a lotus lake that is comparable to the size of the West Lake in Hangzhou, the lotus flowers are swaying by the lake, the blue waves in the lake are rippling, the exquisite painting boat shuttles in the picturesque lake, a small stone bridge of seven or eight meters high on the lake spans the north and south, the thick shade of the bridge head covers the delicate bridge body, and the lakeside greenhouse buildings stretch far away. The cloud wall and window at the head of the bridge, the lake hall is elegant and beautiful.

Following Li Longji's gaze, the guide looked at the pavilions by the lake and said, "If you don't want to take a boat, you can also go to the lake hall to enjoy the fun, there is also a casino, and there are singing and dancing performances." ”

"Let's go on a cruise first. Li Longji said in a deep voice.

Walking into the huge pleasure boat, someone immediately greeted me and politely said: "Distinguished guests have come to make a fortune!"

Without waiting for us to answer, the guide approached the casino counselor and whispered a few words before exiting the boat.

The counselor looked at us quietly and asked with a smile, "Who are you?"

"Under the roots of the imperial city, how can you come here to have fun and find out if you can't find out?" Li Longji said with an impatient look.

The counselor hurriedly sneered: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, you are all our God of Wealth, how dare I have that kind of thought, but now the government is strictly investigating, and officials above the seventh grade are not allowed to come to our casino to make a fortune." ”

"Listening to your tone, there were still many officials who came to make a fortune before?" Li Longji asked as if he was very curious.

"That's right! In the past, when the investigation was not strict, nearly half of the guests in our Jiang Family Casino were officials of all sizes, up to the squire of the Criminal Department, down to Qipinzhi County, it can be said that officials from all over the country and all over the country have been here, and the official sedan chair carried by ten people a year ago was parked all over the streets outside our village. ”

Yang Yuhuan smiled and said under Li Longji's hint: "Just hearing you say that, I think it's quite lively." ”

Yang Yuhuan's words made the counselor feel a little complacent, and said with a smile: "That is, our Jiang family casino is in charge of food and accommodation, as long as it is someone who comes to our Jiang family to play, we will arrange food and lodging, and when there are many guests, our Jiang family's house is not enough, so we have to go to Lingnan City to arrange accommodation for the gamblers." ”

While listening to the introduction of the counselor, we quietly looked at the gambling ship.

The boat is very large, and there are more than 20 tables in it, and in front of each table are many gamblers with accents from all over the world, cheers and exclamations come and go.

On the smallest table, you can also bet on a copper coin, and on the largest table, the minimum bet is 100 taels of silver, and the highest is 10,000 taels of gold.

Following our gaze, the consultant introduced: "The biggest platform over there is not often opened, but as soon as it opens, it is earth-shattering, and the wins and losses are in millions, tens of millions of taels of silver. ”

"Who is so rich, taking so much money to play, it's really not an ordinary local tyrant. Su Tong couldn't help but mutter.

The counselor's ears were good, and he smiled: "How can ordinary people like you be ordinary people who can win or lose thousands of people who can win or lose are ordinary people?" Their identities are generally very sensitive, and every time we are personally received by the head of the Jiang family, no one dares to inquire about their identities." ”

"I'd love to see a gamble like that. Yang Yuhuan said delicately.

"If you came here a year ago, you could still see it, but in the last year very few people have come to play. The counselor said with a little regret.

"Why didn't they come? Do you think your Jiang family's service is not good enough?" Yang Yuhuan asked deliberately.

"It was our lady in the capital who sent a message back and asked us not to receive people who were officials, as for what the reason was, the mother only told the head of the house, and the head of the house sent us to do it as soon as possible. ”

"Isn't your income going to be much less?" Su Tong asked with a pretended sympathy.

The counselor nodded and replied: "Yes, in fact, we all like those big men to come and play, they are generous, they will not trouble us if they lose money, and they are very happy to reward when they win." ”

While speaking, Li Longji stopped at a small platform where more than a dozen people gathered.

"Do you want to try your hand now?" The counselor asked.

Li Longji nodded and said, "I want to try my luck." ”

"There is no cash on the table, you have to go to the counter to change some chips before you can place bets. The counselor reminded.

"Give me three gold leaves. After speaking, Li Longji casually handed the counselor three gold leaves.

The counselor was also a person who had seen the world, so he didn't take these three gold leaves in his eyes, and indifferently took the gold leaves and handed them over to the counter to exchange for 200 chips.

Li Longji didn't take the chips, but said, "You keep ten chips, and the rest will be a bet on Da Qinglong for me." ”

One hundred and ninety chips were bet, and Li Longji was very lucky, it was Da Qinglong who opened on the spot, and the one hundred and ninety chips suddenly tripled. It was hot to see the eyes of those present.

The counselor wiped the sweat from his forehead and persuaded, "Do you want to go shopping elsewhere?"

"It's good here, I'm still playing here, your boss won't be able to afford to lose, right?" Li Longji said with a smile.

"Where, where, you please. After saying that, the counselor took the opportunity to withdraw, and he turned around and went to the Jiang family steward to tell Li Longji about it.

"He really didn't have those chips?" The steward of the Jiang family asked suspiciously.

"Really, no, I helped him push the chips to the big green dragon. The counselor replied.

"His luck is so good?" The steward of the Jiang family muttered a little skeptically.

The counselor said: "I gave a hint to the stall owner at the time, it is said that the big green dragon should not be opened, but when the dice are opened, it will become a big green dragon." ”

"It's not going to be a smashing scene, come with me. The Jiang family steward said.

After a few glances from afar, the steward didn't see what happened to Li Longji. He secretly instructed the counselor: "You go and inform the person who opened the stall, just open it, and I will solve the rest of the matter." ”

Li Longji played for about an hour, and the two hundred chips turned into a hill more than a foot high.

"It's almost time to stop. I said quietly.

Li Longji nodded and stopped betting, and the group of people who followed the bet also made a lot of money, and then closed it. At this time, the casino steward came over and said, "This guest officer, because of your old fortune, we have to take back this pile of chips." ”

Li Longji shouted: "Which eye did you see me out of the old man?"

"If you don't have a boss, you can win it all?" The steward asked.

Li Longji deliberately provoked: "Is it good luck? If you say that, then if I lose everything, won't you be making a difference?"

Li Longji's words made the casino steward a little annoyed, and he shouted: "If you don't want to die today, hurry up and hand over the chips, otherwise, don't think of getting out of our Jiang family." ”
