It was only half an hour to walk from the West Lake to the Lingyin Temple, so the four of them directly found a place to live nearby, although the lively market near the West Lake was expensive, but fortunately, the trip brought enough silver taels, and Wen Xuan's shot was a little more generous.

Mu Chong, who lived in the inn, put down his luggage and ran out without even eating a bite of food, Wen Xuan knew that he must have gone to find the best lotus flower for Miss Ah Qi, and he also went out to inquire about the situation in the city after having dinner with the master and apprentice.

Wen Xuan's understanding of Kang Jintan comes from Sheng Wenyu's narration, and he only learned about the location of Kang Jintan's stronghold from Sheng Wenyu's mouth - Yongchang Gambling House.

Diametrically opposed to the half-day idle teahouse in the Keihuo Altar, Yongchang Gambling House is a hot existence in this Hangzhou city, and Wen Xuan didn't take much effort to find out where it is.

Because he didn't know much about the situation here, Wen Xuan naturally wouldn't reveal his identity easily, so he had to pretend to be an ordinary gambler and swagger in.

The strong man standing at the door of the gambling house saw Wen Xuan is face, and this dress was relatively ordinary, so he stopped him outside with a wave of his arm.

"Dressed like this, dare to come to Yongchang Casino to play? Do you know how many pounds and taels you have? ”

Wen Xuan took a sip and feigned anger: "Dogs look at things that are low to people!" Yan took out a few silver bills from his sleeve and dusted them vigorously, "Did you see it?" Master, I'm rich! ”

The steward who was courting guests on the side immediately came over after seeing this scene, and said with a sneer: "Don't pay attention to these two blind things!" Come on, inside please! ”

The two strong men glanced at each other, the corners of their mouths smiled in unison, and their hearts seemed to be a rich man from the countryside, just enter, see you crawl out without crying and wiping your tears!

The scale of the gambling house is very large, after entering the gate is a vast mansion, each room is very lively, everywhere you can see excited gamblers shuttling back and forth, some gambling all their net worth to win a win, laughing wildly; some ended up in tears with no return; some were forced to sign and even pay off their ancestral property directly; What's more, he lay in the courtyard and rolled around, and was finally picked up and thrown out by the strong man in the gambling house.

Seeing Wen Xuan's indifferent appearance, the steward of the gambling house said in his heart that maybe this rich man really had some goods in his stomach, smiled more flatteringly, bent his waist lower, and asked tentatively: "Son, what do you want to play?" ”

Wen Xuan raised his eyebrows and scolded: "! Of course, it's the most enjoyable to play! ”

Now it's the turn of the steward to get things done, who knows which one this rich boy prefers? But after seeing Wen Xuan's weak figure, he grinned at the corners of his mouth, and suddenly came up with an idea, waved his hand into the distance, and called a charming and colorful gambling prostitute.

Wen Xuan smiled bitterly in his heart, it seems that he has mistaken himself for a womanizer who has been in the flowers for a long time, does his body and bones look so bad?

Gambling prostitutes have always been one of the clever means in the gambling house, in addition to cooperating with the dealer to make a thousand, but also can be verbally knocked on the side, instigating and luring gamblers to indulge in it, until the money in their hands is exhausted.

The steward glanced at the gambling prostitute, and the gambling prostitute immediately understood her intentions, and after putting her hand on Wen Xuan's arm, she pretended to be obedient and asked, "What does the son want to play?" ”

Disguise is Wen Xuan's specialty, since the other party threw out the bait, Wen Xuan also took the bait, and immediately grabbed the gambling prostitute and pretended to be satisfied: "Then play something simple first!" ”

"Simpler?" The gambling prostitute's eyes flickered, and it seemed that this unjust boss was a novice, so he proposed with a sycophant face: "The simple and clear thing is the dice, presumably with the hearty energy of the son can win a lot of money tonight!" ”

"The dice? Okay, let's play dice! Wen Xuan said casually.

The gambling prostitute immediately agreed: "The master is free to the guests, we have all kinds of games in Yongchang Gambling House, but I want the son to have fun!" ”

After that, Wen Xuan was introduced into the room on the left side of the house, and there were five shouts and six voices one after another, which was extremely noisy.

In addition to the steward who was guiding the new customers in the house, there was a leader in charge of watching the field in each room, and the little leader knew that this was a big customer when he saw Wen Xuan surrounded by gambling prostitutes, and went straight to greet him.

"This son, do you want to bet on size or odd and even?"

Wen Xuan waved his hand indiscriminately, "What size is single and double, it's all the same, where it's lively, you can go there!" ”

The little leader smiled and nodded, quietly exchanged glances with the gambling prostitute, and led him to a table slightly inside.

"Single! Single! Single! ”

"Double! Pair! Pair! ”

This table was even more lively than the tables that had just entered the door, and a group of well-dressed boys gathered around the neighborhood and shouted one after another.

The little boss walked over and lined up the crowd, moved a chair for Wen Xuan, and then the gambling prostitute waited for him to sit down.

On the other side, a well-dressed old guest smiled and said, "Yo, new face!" ”

"Dressed like this, it is estimated that he is from the countryside, and he has never seen anything in the world!" The young man on the side glanced at the gambling prostitute beside him, and said sourly.

Wen Xuan pretended to be extremely dissatisfied, took out a fifty taels silver ticket from his arms and slapped it on the table, then glared back at the young man, and said provocatively: "If you haven't seen the world, let's try it and know." ”

The young man shrank his head after checking the denomination of the silver ticket, and muttered, "Rich man." ”

Wen Xuan, who had just appeared on the stage and pressed the old customers, slowly sat down, and the gambling prostitute pointed to the gambling table and said coquettishly: "Childe, look, as long as you put the bet on the table with a single word or a double word, I don't know if Childe pays or buys a double for the first time?" ”

Wen Xuan pretended to be squinting and said: "With the company of beauties, in and out of pairs, of course buy pairs!" After speaking, he looked at the table and saw that it was all broken silver, and said dissatisfiedly: "Why don't you even have a decent banknote?" ”

Then he waved his hand and threw the fifty taels of silver tickets into it, "Let's put it here first." ”

The gambling prostitute was pleasantly surprised, but she didn't expect this rural boy to be so generous, after all, taking dividends from the money lost by the guests is one of the main incomes of the gambling prostitute.

"I'll bet a tael of silver first, and I'll see and see." Wen Xuan said hehehe.

"Hey! Okay! Buy and go! ”

With the shouting of the dealer, the dice cup was shaken up for a few rounds and then suddenly deducted, and then slowly opened in full view.

"Double! Childe, you've won! The gambling prostitute looked at Wen Xuan happily, looking like she had won the money.

"Buy Doubles Wins!" The dealer quickly drags the hook lever and divides the winner's money in front of him.

"It seems that I am able to win thanks to you, so I will reward you with these two silvers!" Wen Xuan arrogantly took the broken silver and handed it to the gambling prostitute.
