Chu Tao took advantage of Xiaohong's money exchange, a pair of big eyes looked inside curiously, she saw several beautifully dressed people coming out of the end, with a hearty or annoyed expression on their faces, and her intuition told her that this money bank is indeed not simple, and it does not look simple inside. But she quickly retracted her head again, and Xiao Er specially told them not to go to the underground casino, she didn't want to cause trouble here.

Thinking about it, she suddenly saw a very familiar back, and before she could react, the man disappeared down the stairs. Chu Tao patted Xiao Zi and said viciously: "Did you see that person?" ”

Xiao Zi also nodded stiffly, that person's back is too much like Xue Congjia! Because Xue Congjia has a long body, a very straight back, like a bamboo, and everywhere he goes, he has a sense of grandeur, not to mention that he has a cold sense of distance from his body, just now when the person passed by him, Xiao Zi clearly felt a chill.

Chu Tao gritted his teeth and said: "Xue Congjia, I can recognize you even if you turn to ashes, didn't you say that you investigated the case in Xinyang, how did you find the casino, you big liar!" ”

She pulled Xiaozi and Xiaohong and was about to rush inside, but the two fierce and vicious people hurriedly stopped Chu Tao and the three of them: "What are you doing?" ”

This is probably the fiercest and most terrifying person that the three of Chu Tao have seen all the way.

Chu Tao covered the money bag and said, "We're here to gamble!" ”

The bearded man looked at Chu Tao suspiciously, their casinos are almost all regular customers, and there are few new faces, even if they are new faces, they are all introduced by acquaintances, and few female customers come to bet. Looking at their dress, they look like the maids of the concubines of that family, who came in and begged a certain master to go home, this kind of person must not be put in, it will affect the business, so he waved his hand: "Where did the stinky girl come from, go back and go back!" ”

Chu Tao said with a wit: "This big brother, you misunderstood, we are not locals, our son came to Xinyang to do business, by the way, play a few games, just now he came out and ordered us to change some money, and the one who walked in front of him is our son." ”

Dahan knew that the person Chu Tao said was young and had a face that was loved by men, women and children, he was indeed not a native of Xinyang, it seemed that he was still from Jinling, he was introduced by the new shopkeeper of Pinshizhai, and he should be a disciple of a family who came to the north to do business.

This little girl's accent is soft and glutinous, she is indeed a foreigner, and what the little girl said is true. But how could such a dusty son with such a dusty temperament have such a stumbling girl? This yellow-faced, eat too much pickles! Chu Tao saw that the big man believed him a little, and hurriedly said: "Big brother, look, we just finished exchanging money, and we are going to send it over, so don't get in the way, our son is in a hurry to ask for money, and he will lose his temper if he sends it late." ”

Dahan thought that he couldn't stop the business of the casino, and looking at Chu Tao's appearance, he was definitely not a person who would cause trouble, so with a wave of his hand, he let the three of Chu Tao in.

The three of them sneaked down the stairs and went through a dark passage before returning to the surface, and it turned out that there was really an underground casino connected here, which was the size of a polo field. On the west side, there are people throwing pots, playing dice, and fighting crickets, and on the east side there are many small stalls with antique utensils with fresh earth. Chu Tao grew up in gold, silver and jade since he was a child, and he knew which ones were fakes and which ones were genuine at a glance, and he couldn't help but sigh twice, who knows if these things were dug up from which ancestral grave.

But the two sides of this thing are just some small gambling gadgets, and the real excitement is the place in the middle covered by a red curtain, in which there are constantly excited shouts of the crowd and the faint roar of fierce beasts, which is particularly terrifying. Chu Tao inspected around and didn't see Xue Congjia's figure, so he had to look for the venue in the middle.

There are a few people guarding this half-wrapped shed, looking vicious, seeing the three people of Chu Tao, they spat on the ground with disdain, they have seen a lot of girls dressed like Chu Tao, their officials play in the casino in the dark, and the little lady at home is embarrassed to come to the casino to show up, often send the small maid or maid around to find people, no matter how bad it is, it is to send money to the official to send the title deed, the person who loses here can't get the money, but to chop off his fingers, and even cut off his hands and feet, So they are also used to seeing the little lady crying heartbreakingly, scolding the gambler's husband who has just had his finger chopped off.

When they came into this special casino, people had to pay a large amount of entrance fees, and looking at Chu Tao, they were also people who couldn't afford to pay this money, so several big men looked at Chu Tao and the others with disdain.

Gambling, in fact, is harmful. But a few of them were just hired to maintain order here, and they didn't care about the rest, and the people here only felt that they were in the Shura field, and the words of pity and sympathy had long been thrown out of the clouds.

Today it is the turn of Dahei Shougang, he looks like Zhong Kui who hunts ghosts, as long as he stands there, no one dares to approach. Da Hei saw the little one Chu Tao and the other two thin girls, remembered his sister-in-law, moved his heart of compassion slightly, and shouted angrily: "Little yellow-haired girl, go back, this is not the place you came from!" ”

Chu Tao didn't know that the people sent by the Liu family to protect Chu Tao waited outside Qian Zhuang for a long time and didn't see Chu Tao come out, but they looked too much like the people from the government, and the people from Qian Zhuang didn't let them in. The leader could only send some people to guard it first, and the other part of the people took the tokens of the general's mansion to find the magistrate.

Chu Tao trembled with fear by Dahei's voice, and said tremblingly: "Big brother, we sent money to our son-in-law, and I will return after sending the money." ”

Da Hei sighed in his heart, and he didn't want to say anything, he quietly opened the thick curtain a little, and didn't ask for the entrance fee from Chu Tao, but he still said in a fierce voice: "If you go in, look for your master, come out quickly, don't look around." ”

Hatsumomo looked at Da Hei gratefully, and Da Hei saw a pair of clear and transparent beautiful eyes looking at him, and turned his head away in embarrassment.

The three of them entered the first peach and knew what it meant to be called hell. There is a rectangular stage in the center of the inside, which is stained with layers of vermilion blood stains of different shades, which looks like a dirty blanket that has been soaked in blood for a long time, exuding a foul smell, and many seats are built with wooden shelves in the outer circle of the stage a few steps away.

What is disgusting is that there is a thin child standing in the center of the stage, estimated to be twelve or thirteen years old, naked, so thin that his chest is close to his back, his hair is so dirty that he is about to be dreadlocked, and the dry grass is draped behind his back, and his whole body is covered with deep and shallow scars, and the white bones inside his arm are turned out, it is such a beggar-like child, holding a dagger slightly longer than his arm, looking viciously at a tiger opposite who does not know how long he has been hungry.

The tiger was huge, but its stomach was flat, and it was obvious that someone had caught it here and was deliberately hungry!

What the hell is this way of betting!

As if hearing the voice in Chu Tao's heart, a fireworks woman next to her looked at Chu Tao's unbelievable simple little face, chuckled, and explained to Chu Tao next to her: "What? First time here? Look, don't look at that boy who is skinny, the skinny wolf just now was killed by him. ”

Only then did Hatsu Tao notice the dead wolf at the boy's feet, and there was blood under him. Chu Tao seemed to smell the fishy sweet smell in the air, and couldn't help but bend over and retch.

The fireworks woman was willing to talk to Chu Tao, just because Chu Tao was different from other maids, although the status of the maid was very low, but many girls from big families looked down on them very much, Chu Tao didn't, took the handkerchief she handed over, and whispered "thank you".

There was a commotion in the crowd, and everyone showed a vain smile on their faces, and the people dragging wooden pallets walked around, shouting and betting bets, and nodding to the masters, which was really exquisite. Soon he walked in front of the fireworks woman, she came with the master next to her, so naturally she didn't bet, but just looked at the master with a smile and threw a big ingot.

"Master Pei! The current line is 10 to 1, you can play a little more! That kid just killed a wolf, and now he has no energy, and it's definitely good to suppress the tiger at this time! The man leaned close to Master Pei's ear and said softly, "The tiger has been hungry for three days!" ”

Chu Tao could smell the foul smell coming from the mouth of the big yellow tooth from afar. Master Pei was fat-headed, patted his thigh and said, "Then press the tiger!" ”

The fireworks woman looked at the stunned Chu Tao, and explained again: "There are two sides to bet here, the tiger and the boy's, and now many people can win by pressing the boy." ”

Chu Tao asked in a trance, "Win?" ”

"If the tiger bites the boy to death, the tiger wins. Which girl are you, don't look at it, go back quickly, you're going to have nightmares at night. She said patiently to Hatsumo.

There were bursts of cheers from the crowd, and at first the tiger seemed to be frightened by the carcass of the wild wolf beside the boy, but then it was also bewitched by blood, and the chains around his neck pounced directly on the boy before he could untie it.

The boy flashed sensitively, his head hit the iron pillar at once, making a huge collision sound, and the pillar was suddenly dripping with blood, the boy who had escaped death in the last game was dying, his vision was blurred, and he gradually couldn't see the things in front of him clearly, he felt that his body was gradually becoming cold, so cold, so cold......

He finally lost, and he could finally leave this place where people were not treated as human beings...... The boy tried to raise his hand and wipe away his tears, but the arm was as heavy as a mountain and could not lift it.

In a trance, he heard a tidal wave of cheers, which were the audience reveling below.

"Let him go!" A crisp voice came from the chaotic crowd.
