The next day, Qiao Yiling continued to visit the gambling house.

Qiao Yiling turned his back to the table where the dealer sat and bet carelessly. She was a newcomer for several days, and for fear of attracting the attention of the snitch, she had to avoid the eyes of the people at the back table as much as possible, but her ears were always watching the movement of the table.

However, before he could wait for the movement at the back table, he heard the person at the next table talking: "Hey, Brother Chen, you can be lucky these two days!" Win a lot of money, beware of the snitch eyeing you! ”

"Hahaha......" a group of people echoed and laughed.

"What, Brother Wang will rely on me if he loses?"

"Well, it's not interesting, I'll come back in two days. Brother Chen, let's go for fun! ”

Hearing this, Qiao Yiling raised his vigilance, and quickly glanced at the movement on the other side while placing the bet.

"No, Wang Qi thinks about his Yanxia girl, I'm just afraid that the beauty is waiting in the Spring Festival Pavilion!" A vulgar man's mouth teased, causing another burst of laughter.

"Go change your luck." The king packed up the loose silver, looked at a young man in pale blue silk with his back to Qiao Yiling, and made a gesture to leave.

"Brother Wang first, it's still early at the moment, I'll go again in the evening."

"That's right, the girls are lively at night!" The crowd next to him chimed in.

Wang Qi didn't persuade much, and left with two sentences.

Qiao Yiling was alert and hurriedly followed out while others were unprepared.

Qiao Yiling followed him to the door of his house, and saw that his house was quite solid, and when he was hesitating, he heard an old man's reprimand from inside, and this prince only replied submissively, not like a scheming look, not suspicious.

Qiao Yiling recalled carefully, and began to think again: the snitch theft must be due to his unsatisfactory situation, and it is likely to be living alone. But what he stole was not a small amount, and it should be right to like luxury, but he didn't want to make people around him suspicious, and he still had to cover it up a little, so it should be basically the same as his previous expenses, so it would not be too bad to prove the identity of the snitch. Betting against the dealer requires a large amount of principal, which is too easy to attract attention.

In this case......

Qiao Yiling suddenly remembered that "Chen Gongzi......

behaves calmly, and he rarely talks to others when he jokes, so much so that it is a little strange. Thinking of his good luck, the county has been quiet for the past two days, which is even more suspicious.

So he locked his eyes on him, but unfortunately he didn't see his appearance.

Qiao Yiling thought about it again and again, and felt that he could explore this Chen Gongzi first. But because he had just left, he immediately went back to look deliberate, which aroused suspicion, remembering that he said that he was going to the Spring Festival Pavilion at night, so he went to buy a gorgeous merchant's costume for convenience, and some fake things such as mustaches and other things back to the inn for storage. In order to be sure, she went to the gambling house again at dusk, and there were really a few fewer people in the morning.

Qiao Yiling didn't see Xiao Gongzi's back, and estimated that he had already gone to the Spring Festival Pavilion, and after playing two games, he lied that he was bored and went back to the inn.

On the way back, she first exchanged some silver tickets for silver, and then returned to the inn to change the merchant's clothes, painted and smeared, pasted a mustache, and tied fake things to make herself look rich and sophisticated, until she was very different from the gambling house. Then I tried the tone again, and then went to the Spring Festival Pavilion to investigate.

In the Spring Festival Pavilion, the night was full of sheng songs, and the bewitching posture was everywhere, Qiao Yiling smiled obscurely, trying to avoid letting them save herself.

I didn't pay attention to the front between the pushes, and accidentally bumped into a boy who was holding the girl to watch the Yantai performance, Qiao Yiling hurriedly apologized.

The man looked Qiao Yiling up and down for a while, and scolded disdainfully: "What are you pretending to be arrogant!" Then he turned and wanted to go.

Qiao Yiling wanted to be dumb and lose money, but she turned her mind and noticed that this was a good moment to attract attention, so she grabbed the man and shouted: "Hey! You're right, uncle is magnanimous! ”

As he spoke, he took out a silver ingot from his waist and threw it to the man, "Since the uncle hit you, I will compensate you." ”

At this moment, the surrounding women all rushed up to get close to Qiao Yiling, and brought some flower guests to see the excitement.

The man was embarrassed: "Sick! Who is rare! He threw the silver back to Qiao Yiling, and broke free from Qiao Yiling and wanted to leave.

Qiao Yiling grabbed the silver and was about to speak, but the bustard mother had already seen the distinguished guest, hurried over, and comforted: "Hey, this master, don't be angry, you see Rou'er is about to perform, let's take a seat quickly!"

Qiao Yiling achieved his goal, and went down the steps: "Since you don't want it, then I have to reward it to others." Turn around and give it to the bustard's mother.

"I want the top card of the Spring Festival Pavilion, and the rest don't bother me."

The bustard's mother said yes again and again, and led Qiao Yiling to the VIP seat in front.

Qiao Yiling watched the performance, while looking around, he faintly felt that there were a pair of eyes staring at him, Qiao Yiling turned his head suddenly, and there was nothing wrong, so he had to stabilize his mind and pretend to have nothing to do to enjoy the performance.

After the sound of the pipa on the stage broke through the light gauze tent, a woman in a red dance costume stepped forward with a water sleeve and stepped out on her tiptoes.

She covered her face with a soft veil, her eyebrows were affectionate, seductive, and she danced with the pipa vocal music, which seemed to be soft and boneless, but in fact she was extremely enchanting, and the audience applauded.

After the performance, she bowed slightly on her knees, but still did not remove her veil.

The bustard's mother came to the stage to help this mysterious beauty and said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, tonight is the first official day for our Rou'er to meet you, but there are many people who are easy to be ashamed, you can only choose one to talk to her about yourself, we are still the old rules, the one with the highest price will go to Rou'er Township with Rou'er, start now!"

The old bustard gestured as he spoke, signaling for the bidding to begin.

"Fifty taels!"

"One hundred taels!"

"One hundred and fifty taels!"

"Ahem, cough, cough......" Qiao Yiling was drinking tea and choked on this.

Although she expected Qinglou to rip off customers, she didn't want to go so far, spending money like running water, even more gambling halls.

She had to take a risk to get a reward of five hundred taels of silver, and she didn't know if she could compete for the top girl here.

Besides, although she was restrained in the gambling hall, she also spent a lot of silver, thinking of this, Qiao Yiling finally knew the benefits of money, and secretly complained in her heart. She didn't know whether to bid hard, or to slip away and find another chance......

Qiao Yiling hesitated, and Miss Rou'er was worth three hundred taels.

"Three hundred and fifty taels!"

"Five hundred taels!" Qiao Yiling gritted her teeth and shouted out this sentence in pain, she thought to herself that if someone was taller than her, she would not fight, it was always bad to squander the family's money, and now she just wanted to gamble on whether she could attract the snitch to target her.

The surroundings were quiet for a moment, and then the whispering slowly spread, and the smile lines on the old bustard's face could not be hidden, and he looked around hoping that there would be a noble son to rob people.

Qiao Yiling's heart was beating tightly, and his face was still pretending to be calm.

"Well, since no one has raised the price anymore, then Miss Rou'er is this son's person tonight!" The old bustard was happy to send Rou'er to Qiao Yiling, but Qiao Yiling didn't smile and pretended to be happy.

"Six hundred taels!" The sudden sideways price increase caused the big guys to turn to the source of the sound, which was a young man in a water-colored silk dress in the second row.

He looked at Qiao Yiling quite playfully, Qiao Yiling was a little blushing, but he settled down in an instant, got up and looked at the old bustard, and said angrily: "The Spring Festival Pavilion has no rules, I didn't rob people before, but now I'm here to raise the price, are you trying to kill people?"

Although the old bustard has the intention of favoring high prices, he is always not good at offending the upstart, so he had to say to the son: "Chen Gongzi, you are an old guest of the Spring Festival Pavilion, let's not break the rules, call the new customers laughs, or the son...... You can change your position as a beauty! ”

"Chen Gongzi"?

Qiao Yiling was secretly shocked: Is it him?

"Aunt Mei, I just saw that this son was generous, and he must have loved Miss Rou'er very much, so I want to see if his deep affection for Miss Rou'er is worth seven hundred taels?" He also stood up, staring at Qiao Yiling with sly eyes.

Provocation?
