Chapter 39: Hongjiu

A wing room on the third floor of the great wealth, all the furnishings inside are arranged quite luxuriously, in the middle of the hanging a boxy huge dice, made of pure gold, the surrounding points are inlaid with red gems, the room is also covered with many rare glass lamps, if at night, they are lit up, will be able to illuminate this place as if it is day, and in this room, even the most ordinary tables and chairs are made of precious mahogany, which shows the degree of wealth of its director, It seems that the name of the gambling house is really worthy of its name.

At this moment, there were four people in the room, two of whom were seated as guests of honor, and each with a guard stood aside. The two guards were full of heaven, their temples were slightly raised, and they looked like people with deep internal strength.

The person sitting on the throne was dressed in a golden silk brocade robe, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a steady face. However, if one looks closely, one will see that the man's right hand has only four fingers, and the ring finger between the middle and little fingers is completely empty.

This person is the second master of the gambling house here, known as the dice king Hongjiu.

And its missing ring finger is also when he was young, because of his addiction to gambling, relying on his own means of good, often out of the thousands, but once when gambling money, he was caught red-handed by others, so as to cut off his fingers. If ordinary people miss a finger, their gambling skills will definitely not be one in ten, and they can no longer rely on gambling skills to eat.

But I don't know what adventures Hongjiu had later, after a year of silence, he went out of the capital again, and the gambling skills were better than before, and then he became famous in the capital, known as the King of Nine-Fingered Dice. Then he was favored by Ling Wubai, the current big boss of the Dafugui Gambling House, and the partnership began to open a gambling house in the capital, because the two of them had good means, knew how to dredge up and down, and then became bigger and bigger. Until today, the fame is at its peak.

Another middle-aged man sat upright on the guest seat, dressed in a white wide-sleeved robe like the bright moon, with a clear face and a graceful bearing, and his deep gaze gave people a kind of wisdom bead in his hand.

"Brother Hong, I don't know when the batch of goods we set this time will arrive in Bianjing, you have been delaying for a long time, if it drags on, my grandfather will not be happy, and in the end, if it is because of your failure to deliver on time, and it affects my grandfather's affairs, the consequences are not something you can afford, the previous goods have never been in this situation, I don't know if you can give an explanation this time?" The white-robed middle-aged man said slowly.

"Brother Situ, please rest assured, I Hongjiu do things, when did I get out of the fork, but I have been much stricter than before when I entered the city recently, and I am also for the sake of caution, so as not to affect the big things of the master, so I have not dragged the goods in until now, but in this matter, I will definitely not delay the big things." Hong Jiu said with a grim face.

"I hope so, my temper has not been very good recently, and it seems that I have encountered something tricky, with the friendship between you and me, I don't want you to bump into it at this time, but since Brother Hong has a countermeasure, then I can rest assured, and when the time comes, after the matter is successful, it will definitely not lose your benefits." The white-robed middle-aged man said a word.

"Thank you Brother Situ for reminding me, I hope you will give me a few more kind words these days. But then again, that master should not be the only one who helped transport it, using so much power to transport this batch of goods, I don't know if there is any important action, you must know that this batch of goods is expressly prohibited by the imperial court from being transported privately, I don't know if Brother Situ can point out one or two. Hong Jiu's eyelids drooped slightly, covering his dark and uncertain eyes, but he asked lightly.

"Oh, it seems that Brother Hong knows a little bit of rumors, but Brother Hong is a person who understands, and he should know that my grandfather is very taboo for others to inquire about his affairs, Brother Hong can now just do his own thing, as for those rumors outside, Brother Hong still has the right to treat it as if he didn't hear it, and I shouldn't need to explain more." The white-robed middle-aged man replied with a deep look in his eyes and a face as usual.

"Brother Situ, where is this, how can he be such a person who doesn't know the importance of it, but I just want to ask, and I don't mean anything else, we people who are mixed with the rivers and lakes live a life of licking blood from the knife edge, so we naturally need to be well-informed, so that we can live for a long time, since it involves some things about that master, I don't need to ask." Hongjiu replied with a snort.

"It's great that Brother Hong can understand righteousness so well." The middle-aged man in the white robe returned satisfied.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door with a rapid 'tuk', 'tuk' and 'tuk'.

Hongjiu's face couldn't help but sink, and said, "Didn't you tell me, there are distinguished guests here today, don't come to disturb me during this time." ”

And the guard next to him was in his heart, I don't know who came to disturb at this time, and the ninth master was unhappy, but it is estimated that this kid will die miserably.

"Brother Hong doesn't have to be so angry, since he has already ordered something, if there is nothing important, how can his subordinates disturb at will, it is estimated that there is something that Brother Hong has to solve immediately, Brother Hong can be called in and ask, what is the matter will be known." The white-robed middle-aged man said at the right time.

"Thank you Brother Situ for your understanding, my subordinates don't know how to measure, if they come to disturb my conversation because of some trivial things, they will definitely let him help serve them." Hongjiu said apologetically, since someone else gave him a step, he naturally went down.

"Come in." Hong Jiu calmed his emotions and said in a deep voice.

Soon, the door was opened, and a young man in his twenties with a handsome figure and sharp eyebrows entered, but his face was full of anxiety at the moment.

As soon as I entered the door at this moment, I saw that the middle-aged man in the robe had an extraordinary bearing, and I knew that I must be an important guest of the master, but now I can't manage so much, there are already more urgent things, and I need to report to the master, otherwise this time the loss will be great.

"Yiqing, look at your prosperity, what's the hurry to be like this, didn't you see that the teacher is entertaining distinguished guests now, didn't you say before not to come to disturb, you can make your own decisions about anything, you can also learn five or six points of fire in my skills, is there anything you can't handle, or is it useless to be a teacher?" Hongjiu said with a majestic face.

"Back to Master, this time is really tricky, uh..." said Here the young man paused, and the corner of his eye peeked slightly at the white-robed middle-aged man next to him.

"It's okay, Brother Situ is his own person, if you have anything to say, just say it directly." Hongjiu interrupted without thinking.
