"Mr. Leng's dart head is Mr. Leng's dart head, and I am often a big toad who really convinces you." "Boss Chang, don't be polite, you are protecting the head of our Haitian Dart Bureau, Leng hasn't thanked you yet." "Hey, that's my junior brother." "How is our head of higher education now?" "Senior Brother Gao insists on going back, and I asked Yun to send him back to the Haitian Dart Bureau." "Oh, no wonder I don't see 'a promise.'" "What? Is Mr. Leng worried about the lack of manpower? Don't worry, if you can't find Miss Fang, I'll lose the gambling house here to you. "Hey, hey." "Laughing at what? Do you believe it? Still don't you think it's a good way to make a living? Mr. Leng, yes, everyone says that we open a gambling house and hurt people, but don't forget, what we hand over to the imperial court is a heavy tax, much more than other industries to the state. Will the common people hand over the money they earn to the state treasury for no reason? People are rolling with the dice, soaking on the card table, the money is lost to us, but we give it to the court, and the court takes it from the people for the people, and in the end, our gambling industry is nothing more than collecting money for the country, for the people. What's so bad about it? "The Book of Law formulated by Li Kui during the Warring States Period stipulates that the fine for gambling is three coins. The "Miscellaneous Laws" of the Tang Dynasty specifically stipulated that gambling was prohibited, and sentencing was given according to the amount of gambling money, and more than a certain amount of gambling money was punished according to the crime of theft, and those who provided gambling establishments and gambling tools were all convicted, regardless of whether they received gambling money. The "Song Criminal Code" formulated at the beginning of the Song Dynasty greatly exceeded the previous punishment for gambling. In the Jin Dynasty of the same era, the crime of gambling for officials was added to the first degree. The Yuan Dynasty's gambling prohibition law was more severe, gambling money and goods, seventy-seven rods, money and goods were not official, officials were dismissed, and folk gambling behavior was punished by exile and exile. These dynasties have not heard that the common people have a hard time because of the ban on gambling. Nowadays, your holy toad gambling house is trading well, and I haven't seen much better for the common people. The national economy and people's livelihood will not be affected by the rise and fall of your gambling industry, and the sky will not only be the place above your gambling house. Does Boss Chang think what I said Leng Wuqing makes sense? ”

"Toad" silently.

"Boss." "What's the matter?" "There's a guy outside, I poured a belly of cat urine and ran away, let's play tricks here and don't pay the gambling bills, and I even got into a fight with a guest." "Is there such a thing? Let's go, but to see where it is 'sacred'. ”

Wen Chenzhan has been in a really bad mood recently, and he wants to look for Qi in the casino, but he is also frustrated in the casino, and he wants to admit it when he loses in a hurry.

Wen Chenzhan used the kung fu in "Drunken Fighting Qimen", flickering east and west, sometimes south and sometimes north, with a kind of scoundrel's lovelorn drunkenness, which aroused the disgust of others, for fear of vomiting himself without saying anything, and for fear of being falsely accused.

Che Yiyi sneered at this bluffing move with his own pair of "spiritual eyes", and as soon as a few effective tricks came out, he made him "retreat".

"Well, let's take it. Yo, who should I be, it turned out to be the head of Wen's second brother Wen. "Ah...... Yes. "What? Is it just for my brother? "No...... No. "No? That is, those who don't know me don't blame me. "No...... No, I ...... This...... He ......"

Wen Chenzhan explained vaguely, and ran away with a shameful face.

Hmph, even if the court doesn't stop gambling, I don't know how much better our business can be. Boss Chang secretly smiled bitterly.
