Chapter 38: The Great Patron
When the carriage arrived at the door of the Xingwang Gambling House, Wang Xiao took out three hundred taels of silver tickets and handed them over.
"Master, aren't you embarrassed? How can you find a small one? "The coachman was very innocent.
Yes, five or six hundred thousand.
Wang Xiao had no choice but to accept the silver ticket, look at the Xingwang Gambling House, and ...... to the security guard standing at the door No, the bodyguard beckoned.
When the big man saw that it was a guest who had come in a carriage, he stepped forward.
"Do you recognize me?" Wang Xiao asked.
"I don't recognize it." Dahan Road.
Wang smiled: "I came here three days ago, and you still want to beat me." ”
"I remember, you brought a spicy girl's skin to gamble!"
"No, I'm not with them......"
finally let the thug call out the counter to settle the car money, and Wang Xiao finally entered the prosperous gambling house.
He learned well this time, and first exchanged the three hundred taels of silver bills into loose silver. Then he said, "Take me to see Chai Ye." ”
"My grandfather doesn't have time to see you now. Just wait. ”
"How long will it take?" Wang Xiao was a little unhappy, and said in his heart, do you want me to take a number?
"Wait." Counter Road.
As he spoke, he looked at Wang Xiao twice, and said in his heart: Hey, I only made a deal of forty silver, but the panache is not small. My Chai Ye is seeing the big customer, can I see your little shrimp?!
Xiao Chai He is indeed meeting the big customer.
The big customers naturally have the treatment that Wang Xiao did not have.
In the private room, the tea is the best and the hair is even.
"It's rare for the uncle to come over, how is the second master lately?" Xiao Chai He asked with a smile.
"I'm not here today for business, it's just a personal matter. ”
Xiao Chai He was rare and elegant in front of big customers, and he could even use some elegant words, saying: "I want to hear it in detail." ”
"I'm ashamed to say that my lady was cheated of 20,000 taels of silver, and the gang pretended to be a profit-giver and promised my lady a high interest. As a result, even the capital was eaten. ”
Xiao Chai He understood and said, "Uncle, don't worry, I will find out this matter for you." When the time comes, let them spit it out with interest. All you have to do is describe what the men look like. ”
"According to my wife, she is a woman dressed as a noblewoman, less than twenty young, extremely beautiful in appearance, and with a Jianghuai accent. brought a rather ugly girl, and a fat-headed and big-eared groom. The woman claimed to be surnamed Yan, and said that her husband's family was a salt merchant from Yangzhou, and there were too many goods and too little silver, so it was inconvenient to turn over for a while. Oh, my lady is also a smart person, and she won't be easily deceived. However, that woman is very good at grasping people's hearts......"
When the visitor said this, he shook his head and whispered: "She has a high heart and wants to prove that she has a business talent, so she fell into the trap of others." ”
After commenting like this, the man continued: "Two months ago, the old lady of Xu Yuanwai's family in the north of the city had a birthday, and my lady met this woman at the banquet, speculated with each other, and had contacts. At that time, she also said that the woman was her rare beauty and talent. Later, when the woman mentioned the matter of money, my lady put 1,000 taels in her first, and in less than two days, she paid back 1,100 taels. It was precisely because of this that my wife gradually believed in her, and later saw with her own eyes that her family's salt boat was indeed carrying a lot of cargo. So ten days ago, my wife gave her another 20,000 taels. ”
"It's this salt business that can make people feel the most at ease." Xiao Chai He said: "What about the salt ship?" ”
"I've checked, the salt boat is not hers, and the residence is rented, and now it's empty. Man has vanished without a trace. ”
Xiao Chai He groaned: "Yan, salt...... That is also a fake surname. ”
"It must be a fake." The man said: "By the way, her maid's ring is called Huazhi." This may be a clue. ”
Xiao Chai He was a little embarrassed, and said: "Such a liar, after one hit, may have already left Beijing, I can only try my best to find it, and don't have too much hope for the uncle." ”
"I know." And the man stood up.
Xiao Chai He hurriedly got up to send him off, and said: "By the way, last time the second master wanted to find a good hand, I have already found a few." Please tell the uncle. ”
"I see."
The visitor spoke, pushed open the door and walked out.
He didn't see anything unseemly, and he didn't go through the secret door here, so Shi Shiran walked to the outer hall.
In the hall over there, Wang Xiao couldn't sit still, and asked the counter, "Have you fished out the people I want to fish?" ”
"I'm just a dice counter, how can I know?"
Wang Xiao laughed angrily at him, and said, "Then why did you send a counter that shakes the dice to greet me?" Why not find someone professional? ”
The counter was about to speak, but Wang Xiao stopped him.
"Don't say it, I understand."
I'm even more shameless to say it.
It's clear that they look down on me and think that what I'm doing is not fierce enough.
Thinking like this, he looked boredly into the courtyard.
At this glance, he was startled again.
"Big brother?"
The big customer that Xiao Chai He is seeing is actually the eldest brother?
How did Big Brother end up here? Isn't he a reader......
Wang Xiao smiled, if Wang Zhen saw that he was here, he would definitely not let him go out again in the future.
Thinking about this, Wang Xiao was a little flustered.
He turned his head and ran out, and when he ran to the casino outside, he fixed his eyes, but saw that at the gate of the casino, Miqu had already set up a carriage and was waiting there.
Wang Xiao looked around, and became even more panicked.
He had no choice but to turn around and run upstairs.
The second floor is a small private room, which is pushing pai gow. Wang Xiao looked around, but only one private room was empty, so he ran in.
Looking downstairs through the window of the private room, I saw Wang Zhen walking to the venue and was actually stopped by a person.
The man was about the same age as Wang Zhen and seemed extremely enthusiastic.
"Hey, it's Brother Wang! Long time no see. ”
"Brother He." Wang Zhen arched his hand.
"It's rare to see Brother Wang here, after I was expelled from the academy, I traveled to various places because of my family's business affairs, and now, I haven't seen Brother Wang for more than ten years, right?"
This Brother He was quite loud, as if it was a great honor to be expelled from the academy.
Wang Zhen said: "Yes, Brother He's demeanor is like yesterday." ”
"Brother Wang is still the same style. I still remember that back then, the person that my little brother admired the most was you, Brother Wang, at that time, Brother Wang, you took me to the Qinglou, and I took you to the casino, which was really a good teacher for each other! Ha ha! ”
The casino downstairs is quite noisy, but this Brother He's voice is very clear and penetrating.
It seems to be showing off his prowess.
After the two sentences came out, many people looked at him and cast a contemptuous gaze.
"Yesterday, I heard about your deeds, Brother Wang, slapped the new science and technology jinshi, and took out two poems from Brother Ling and slapped those pretentious scholars, which was very happy."
"It's just a misunderstanding......"
Wang Xiao looked at it, and finally saw Wang Zhen arching his hand as if saying goodbye, but the surname He was still reluctant.
