Chapter 19: Get Started
Wenwu said: "Our son-in-law has already spoken, you can bet whatever you say, and we will accompany you."
While Huang Mazi sat down, Song Ci said: "Brother Huang, I don't know how bad luck is in the gambling hall recently?" Is there any winning?"
He shook his head and sighed, "The guest official said, I can't have bad luck recently, I will lose every day, when I lose dozens of taels a day, and when I am less, I have to lose a few hundred Wen, who do you say has so much money to lose?"
"Then there is no time to win? You can't lose every time!"
"Hey, there are only a handful of times when you win, and it's less than a fraction of what you lose, don't you say it's angry?"
He shook the dice and put them on the table, "Guest officer, how about one of us take out one or two pieces of silver this time?" Whoever has the most points will eat the other party's, and if it's the same, it's a tie, how about it?"
Song Ci said: "Song agreed, Wencheng Wenwu, the two of you play with him, Song needs to take a look nearby."
They knew that Song Ci was here to solve the case, so they naturally wouldn't say it at the moment, but gambled with Huang Mazi wholeheartedly.
Song Ci came to the side and looked at these gamblers, they didn't feel sorry for the money in their hands, as if they didn't use it like money, they were very generous.
This is all fattening the gambling house, they not only do the bank, but also take a cut, each person collects one tael a day, fifty people is fifty taels, very good.
Song Ci walked to the steward and said, "Shopkeeper, do you have so many people coming to your store every day?" There are dozens of people, if they lose, what will they do?"
"Hehe, guest officer, you don't think about these questions, they want to be happy, what you spend today and what you spend tomorrow, anyway, you have wine today and get drunk today, as for tomorrow, it's not after today.
Song Ci nodded, he understood all these questions, but it had nothing to do with Feng San's death.
"Shopkeeper, I've heard from other places that there are many gamblers in this county, the most famous is said to be called Feng San, I don't know if he is here today?"
"Feng San? You mean the gambler who just drowned? Hehe, the guest officer didn't know that this person was drowned when he went to the pond to fish early this morning. ”
Song Ci pretended to exclaim, "Song still wants to come and find someone to play a few games, but who knows that this has happened, shopkeeper, I don't know how lucky this Feng San is in gambling?" Could it be that he lost money, had no face to see his parents, and then committed suicide by jumping into a pond?"
The shopkeeper said: "Hey, this is not right, this Feng San has good luck recently, he has won money every day these days, as little as a few taels, more than a dozen taels, his luck is so good, how can he commit suicide, you are right!"
Song Ci thought to himself, if this matter is true, then he really has no need to commit suicide, and this matter may not have anything to do with this tavern, but it is difficult to say what is going on.
"Shopkeeper, do you think this person was killed by someone? Or was it a robbery and a killing? There are dozens of taels of silver on his body, which is also a lot, and it is estimated that ordinary people can earn it back in ten or eight years. ”
“... I don't know about this, but the possibility of this person being killed is very high, and he went fishing early in the morning, so early?"
"That's not necessarily, it's possible that the deceased was fishing earlier and took it to the market at noon to buy it, and this possibility is not impossible.
"That's what I said, but guest officer, anyway, we'd better not talk about this kind of thing, if the murderer knows about it, he thinks we have found some evidence and wants to kill us."
Song Ci said: "Why, are you still afraid of him when you open a gambling house?"
"There's nothing to be afraid of, although I'm not afraid to come with people in the open, but, it's easy to dodge the open gun and it's hard to defend against the dark arrow, in case he makes a bad thing behind his back, I don't know how he died, right?"
Song Ci said: "What the store said is reasonable, Song doesn't bother, my brothers are playing happily over there, I'll go over and take a look."
"The guest officer has a good time, if you have any needs, you can tell me at any time."
Song Ci left, Wencheng Wenwu here, the two of them had already won no less than ten taels of silver in just a few minutes, and the yellow poise had already exploded, and he found that the few people in front of him were simply his nemesis, and playing dice was not an opponent at all.
He said angrily: "Several, this dice is not interesting, why don't we play Pai Gow directly?" I just haven't played this genre in a long time.,I've been thinking about it a little lately.。
Wen Cheng saw that Song Ci was back, and he also put away the money at this moment, "Huang Mazi, our son-in-law still has something to do now, and he will be out of company today, let's come back another day." ”
"Don't, don't, you want to leave when you win, don't you know this rule at the table?"
Song Ci said: "Then what do you want?" Is there still a reason to win money at the table and not let you go?"
Huang Mazi was said to have bulging green tendons, and a dozen taels of silver were gone, and he was very distressed. "A few guest officers, you don't see that you are not a rich man, if you just leave, how will you live this day? Otherwise, you can just return half of me, and then you can leave, how about it?"
Song Ci said: "Don't say that you will be refunded in half, as long as you answer a few questions from me, you are willing to return all the silver, how about it?"
"Really?"
"Is that still fake? If you believe Song, follow Song and turn the corner in front, it is inconvenient to speak here. ”
Saying that, the four of them took the lead in leaving, Huang Mazi really followed, and several people stopped at the corner and said: "Guest officer, if you have anything to say, just say it, as long as you know it, you will definitely not hide it."
Song Ci said: "Actually, there is nothing else, Song just wants to ask about the deceased Feng San, do you know about this person?"
Huang Mazi said: "Feng San? That Feng San who was killed? This person, not only knows him, he is very familiar, he loves to gamble more than he is below, and he sells fish when he loses money from time to time... It's a pity that he died in his twenties. ”
Song Ci said: "Then can you tell us more about this person?" Song was hired by the murderer's parents to fight a lawsuit for him. ”
Huang Mazi said: "In this way, the guest officer is a master?" No wonder I felt that it was not simple when I saw the guest officer for the first time just now, and it seemed that I was not wrong.
"This Feng San, and Zai Xia are gambling friends, and they often gamble together, but recently he has won some silver stronger than me, but counting what he lost before, I'm afraid it's insignificant."
"Then I heard you say that, he used to lose a lot of money?"
"Isn't it, the front and back add up, at least lose a house in Hexi County, fortunately, he still has a fish pond at home, otherwise there is still spare money to eat?"
Song Ci was silent for a while, "Then Song heard that you went to the deceased Feng San's house that day to say it, shouldn't it be Lu Sheng who first found the deceased?"
