20. The Incident Begins - Gambling Workshop (I)

"His strength is definitely more than that of a mid-level martial artist." This is Chu Ci's judgment on Dong Tiankuo, he believes in his own judgment and his intuition. It's just that he doesn't understand what Dong Tiankuo is doing this for, the existence of one more master in a force is equivalent to one more guarantee, and Dong Tiankuo's concealment of strength is obviously to tell outsiders that his power is weak, and there is only one master Xu Heng, and he only wants to mix in the realm of Linqing Mansion, and he has never thought about expanding his power.

The carriage continued to walk on the streets of Linqing Mansion, slowly moving towards their destination.

"He's pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger?" Lu Qing's words were said to Chu Ci.

Chu Ci nodded, and thought slightly: "Well, and his strength may be higher than that Xu Heng." ”

"But why should he hide his strength?"

"You also said that he is pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, Mingzhe protects himself, Dong Tiankuo is very smart, knows forbearance, and knows how to give the other party a fatal blow, but what I don't understand is what role your second elder plays in it."

"That second elder, according to the seniority, I should call him uncle, the elder of my uncle's lineage," as if he was afraid that Chu Ci would not understand, Lu Qing added: "My uncle is Lu Liming." ”

Chu Ci suddenly, this Lu Liming, of course he knows, he is the former master of Baixiaotang, belongs to the "diehards" in Baixiaotang, has never cooperated with the royal family of Chu, has been recruited by the Yasi Capital Mansion several times, but was rejected with a tough attitude, originally in good health, and is middle-aged, it seems that there is a kind of meaning that can take Baixiaotang to the top, but just a month ago, this ambitious master suddenly died of illness, which is very strange, and Lu Qing's father, Lu Lisheng, took this opportunity to become the new master of Baixiaotang.

"I heard my father say that when the second elder was in charge of the stronghold of Linqing Mansion, he had resold information privately and made too many enemies, and this Silver Hook Gambling House can be regarded as a local snake in Linqing Mansion, so it should be natural that the two of them can have a connection."

Chu Ci felt that what Lu Qing said was reasonable, so he asked another matter.

"You said that your spies in the Silver Hook Gambling House were planted three years ago, but three years ago this was still the territory of the Second Elder······

Chu Ci's meaning is obvious, that is, three years ago, this was the territory of the Second Elder, and the spies you planted in would not be the Second Elder's person, or he later became the Second Elder's person.

Lu Qing naturally knew what Chu Ci meant when he said this, and he also knew the concerns in his heart.

"Dadu Si rest assured, this spy was cultivated by Bai Xiaotang since childhood, they only serve the door master, and their existence is not known to several other elders, so Dadu Si does not need to worry."

"Then what are you doing with the spies in the Silver Hook Casino, it seems that you didn't know this was going to happen three years ago."

Lu Qing smiled, and then said to Chu Ci: "After all, Bai Xiaotang, the name of knowing the world's affairs is not called in vain, the gambling houses and taverns in various state capitals have our spies, and their main responsibility is to listen to the news, and then send the news back to the general rudder, and if necessary, they can also win by surprise, this business is sure to make a profit." ”

Chu Ci frowned, and then looked at Lu Qing opposite with strange eyes.

Lu Qing was furious by Chu Ci's eyes, then smiled awkwardly, and said, "Of course, we don't dare to let Kyoto Mansion go." ”

The corners of Chu Ci's mouth curled, but he didn't say anything, but he didn't fully believe what Lu Qing said, as Lu Qing said, the name of "knowing the world" was not given for nothing, so Lu Qing said that there was no Baixiaotang's eyeliner in Kyoto Mansion, and Chu Ci didn't believe it.

Thinking of this, Chu Ci secretly decided that after the matter was over here, he must let people pay attention to Bai Xiaotang's eyeliner.

The goal of the carriage was too big, so Chu Ci asked Tong Ge to park the carriage at the last intersection of the Silver Hook Casino, and then several people walked towards the Silver Hook Gambling House together.

At this time, the Silver Hook Gambling House was already very lively, and most of the gamblers were blushing and thick-necked because of their emotions, shouting numbers loudly there, as if as long as their voices were loud enough to a certain extent, they could change the number of points in the dice cup.

When Chu Ci saw the scene inside, he couldn't help but quip: "See, what makes people blush is not necessarily good, and there are also gambling." ”

Lu Qing didn't seem to have much interest in Chu Ci's sense of humor, but walked to the group of gamblers in front of him who were gambling.

When Chu Ci saw Lu Qing like this, he touched Tong Ge beside him, and then asked, "Where are your eyeliner?" ”

Tong Ge naturally wouldn't tell the identity of the eyeliner to this outsider in the Yasi Mansion, but he just shook his head at Chu Ci and followed Lu Qing over.

Chu Ci didn't know what these two people were going to do, so he had no choice but to come over.

I saw that Lu Qing looked like he was facing a great enemy, staring at the dice cup opposite, as if he wanted to see through the dice inside.

The dice cup flew up and down in the dealer's hand, as if it were alive.

"Touch" the dealer put the dice cup in his hand on the table, and then shouted to a group of gamblers present: "Bet big and small, buy and leave!" ”

Lu Qing casually threw the silver money in his hand on the "small" on the table, then turned his head and said to Chu Ci behind him: "Son, come and have two handfuls too." ”

When the two came out, they had already agreed that the two would call each other sons, so that they would not attract the attention of the gambling house, and the two also deliberately changed their outfits, in view of Lu Qing's natural white hair, Chu Ci had a headache for a long time, and finally had no choice but to coil it up, and then found a staff hat, and buckled the coiled white hair inside.

In the face of Lu Qing's instigation, Chu Ci was willing to accompany him, thought about it, and then took out all the silver money on his body, and then pressed it on top of the "big".

Chu Ci had naturally entered the gambling house, but it was the first time for him to really let him participate so closely, so he was a little excited now, excitedly looking at the dice cups flying up and down in front of him, excited like other gamblers, and kept shouting "Big!" Big! Big! ”

The dice cup falls, everything becomes quiet, everyone is looking forward to the moment when the dice cup opens, it is an exciting moment, it is also the moment that determines the fate of some people, it can make you crazy, it can make you depressed, it can make you rich overnight, it can make you have nothing.

"One, two, three, small!"

As the dice cup opened, a few families rejoiced and some sorrowful, and the sound of cheers and shouts drowned out the frustration of sighs and sighs.

Chu Ci looked back at the stunned Lu Qing and Tong Ge a little innocently, and then seemed to be a little embarrassed to say, "Lost." ”

Yes, Chu Ci lost, and he lost very completely.

"Big ······" In a hurry, Lu Qing almost shouted out the three words "Dadu Division", "Are you stupid, who made you press out, and they are all betting on the big one, then you must be small." ”

Because the identity of the spy in the Silver Hook Gambling House was too secretive, and neither he nor Tong Ge knew the true identity of the other party, Lu Qing could know that there was his own secret agent in the Silver Hook Gambling House, and thanks to his identity as the son of the door owner, Lu Lisheng did not tell him who the identity of the secret agent was.
