In the fourth year of Yonghui (653 AD), the second day of the second month of February, three o'clock in the afternoon.

Datang implements the fang market system, residential areas and markets are separated, residential areas are not allowed to open shops, and no households are allowed in the market. However, gambling houses are a special industry hidden in residential areas, and gambling is a crime, and gambling houses are not visible.

Yonghui Law is very funny about gambling, and there is a legal project, which is shooting in the six arts. Gambling money in archery competitions can be above board, even if you gamble at the yamen, no one will take care of you. The explanation given in the "Miscellaneous Laws" is that archery itself is a practice of martial arts, and gambling money is not a crime.

In the south city of Wuzhou, north of Jinhua Avenue, there is a famous alley called Dujia Hutong. As the name suggests, the entire alley belongs to the Du family. The Du family is the largest landlord in Wuzhou, with 10,000 acres of fertile land, mainly distributed in Lanxi and Jinhua counties.

The head of the family is named Du Qiming, 60 years old, and lives on Jinhua Avenue. Old Du Taoguang is obscure, basically does not go out, the only time he went out, before Wu Kang came to Wuzhou, he went to assassinate Shifu to propose. For Du Mei, the only great-grandson of the Du family, he asked to marry the ninth lady of the Cui family.

At that time, Lao Cui directly refused, although the Du family had a backer, although it was a big family in Wuzhou, it was not worth mentioning compared with the Cui family of Qinghe. The most important thing is that Du Mei's grandson, a well-known gentleman, eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles, and has everything.

The Dujia Hutong in front of you is actually a gambler's alley, and the boss is Du Mei. It is composed of large and small gambling houses, and eighty percent of the Du family. In front of the Golden Hook Gambling House, the gatehouse is tall, the courtyard wall is high, and the huge black plaque is blatantly engraved with the word "Gambling House".

Wu Kang looked back and forth, and the rest of the gambling houses had no plaques, this Golden Hook Gambling House slapped the face of Wuzhou officialdom. Before starting the operation, Wu Kang visited Lao Cui and asked who the Du family's backer was? Lao Cui was vague, only saying that you can't afford to offend, and the Cui family doesn't want to offend.

The old guy stayed out of the matter, and while Wu Kang despised it, he didn't think so. As the saying goes, the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, and in Wuzhou, which is three points of land, my Wukang is the head snake. Even if someone in the Du family is a big official in the imperial court, he has to give face to the magistrate.

Staring at the plaque of "Golden Hook Casino", listening to the chaotic shouts inside, the corners of his mouth hooked into a sneer. Lao Tzu came to brush the beard of the Du family, and with a wave of his hand, the action began, and the alley suddenly shouted to the sky, and the two hundred special operations team circled, slamming the door, climbing over the wall, and scolding... The scene was very shocking.

The special task force is composed of bad guards, government guards, and militiamen, and there are 50 militia members. Lao Yu learned that he swept Dujia Hutong, and without saying a word, he borrowed people, and also provided waist knives for free. The team members hung horizontal knives on their lefts, wrapped hemp ropes around their waists, and carried yamen sticks, and rushed into the casino like tigers out of the cage.

The so-called yaba is a miniature version of the baseball bat, the creative source of the baton, 60 centimeters long, and the whole body is painted with black lacquer. Before bad people used iron rulers, Wu Kang was kind-hearted, thinking that the iron ruler hurt too much and was easy to kill. Change the sticks for the three judicial guards, and fight boldly with confidence, and you can't kill people.

Ten minutes later, all the other gambling houses were broken, except for the golden hook in front of him, the courtyard wall was too high to climb over, no matter how he smashed the door, the door would not be opened inside. Wu Kang's anger became bigger and bigger, his patience became less and less, and he gave the order to bang on the door.

strode to the door, black-clothed bodyguards protected the left and right, and slammed the door with his teammates. After more than a dozen hits, the gate fell to the ground with a bang, and several wooden sticks were smashed out in an instant. Good guy, do you dare to violently resist the law and eat the heart of a bear and a leopard's gall?

Wu Kang's body opened the group, the black stick in his left hand, and the horizontal knife in his right hand, the knife flashed, and the long stick was broken into two. When the teammates saw the big guy move the knife, they all took the knife out of the sheath, and the opposite side instantly confessed, threw the stick and ran to the hall. This group of eggless soft eggs, Wu Kang took the lead, raised the stick high, and smashed it in the back of an evil servant.

Ahh Wu Kang rushed over, stepped on his back with a big foot, and beat him hard with a stick. When the people at his feet stopped struggling, he took a deep breath and shouted: "Squat down and hold your head in both hands, otherwise you will be killed." ”

But there was no one to bird him, and the evil servants fled in all directions, and stumbled in the courtyard like flies. Wu Kang was happy, toasted and did not eat and drink, and the official obeyed your wishes: "Everyone listens to the order, and whoever does not squat down and hold his head will be beaten to death!" ”

For a while, the shouting of killing shook the sky, and the wail like killing a pig sounded, and when I looked at the past, countless yamen waved them. There was an evil servant who reacted quickly, squatting on the ground with his head in his hands, trembling with fear. Those who reacted slowly and those who resisted stubbornly all poured blood mold, lay on the ground and curled up in a ball, bearing the rain and sticks.

After about ten minutes, the scene was completely controlled, and Wu Kang shielded and screamed, and went straight to the gate of the hall. Jiang Da Niu stopped and persuaded with a sneer: "Let's come, the gambler may be angry, and there may be danger... You guys, go bang on my door. ”

Wu Kang was not strong, protected by bodyguards, and flashed on the west side of the door. Da Niu and Sanjiao confirmed their eyes, and at the same time helped them run and get up, and the wooden door opened in response. Whizzing out of the object, the team members dodged one after another, Xu Sanjiao was caught off guard, and the porcelain bowl was smashing on the door. Just listened to the sound, threw the stick to cover his forehead, and the blood flowed smoothly.

The porcelain pieces and blood instantly angered Wu Kang, and he almost roared: "Rush in for me, violently resist the law with a knife, and if you don't resist, you will be beaten with a stick." I'll go in later, there's someone who can stand... Jiang Daniu, this official is asking for you. ”

The bull jumped like thunder and rushed in with knives, followed by the team. The room crackled, begging for mercy and sticks everywhere, almost lifting the roof. Wu Kang inquired about Sanjiao's injury, made sure that he didn't hurt his eyes, and ordered someone to send it to Dr. Hua.

The voice gradually decreased, the situation gradually came under control, Wu Kang calmed his face, and under the protection of his bodyguards, he strode into the room. It is similar to the warehouse of the later generations, with no courtyard wall in the middle. Tables and chairs are full of gambling utensils and copper coins, and broken porcelain.

On the right is a high counter, and three servants pretend to be middle-aged, lying in a pool of blood, life and death unknown. The others were concentrated in the northeast corner, about fifty people, all with wounds, all squatting with their heads in their hands. Someone couldn't help but moan, and the stick fell, and the moaning stopped abruptly, and he covered his mouth with bloody hands, full of fear.

There is a corner gate in the northwest corner, and the two team members are guarding it with knives. Wu Kang retracted his gaze, issued a search warrant, and the team carried out the plan. The gambler got up, leaned on the wall with his hands raised, and searched his body to collect the money. Which one does not cooperate, talk about beating with a stick, collect copper coins and put them on the table.

The seven team members planned to clean up the central part, collect copper coins on the ground, and gather in the open space. Others searched the room, not sparing the corners, and the money piled up bigger and bigger. Four scribes counted, two scribes recorded, and four bad people supervised.

Wu Kang looked around, attracted by the Northwest gaming table, and walked over. Rectangular solitaire, slightly smaller than pear leaves, beautifully printed. Looking down and looking around, he didn't find any of the drops, so he collected the cards on the table and laid them out one by one, a total of forty.

Seeing that the big guy frowned, Da Niu hurriedly came over and explained: "Wu Shen Jun Rongyu, this is a leaf card, which is about the same size as the leaf, hence the name." This is one to ten, consistently to ten, ten to ninety, and the rest is one hundred thousand. According to legend, the leaf card was invented by Han Xin during the Chu-Han War to relieve the homesickness of the soldiers. ”

Hehe, I know a lot! Wu Kang stretched out his thumb to praise, and Da Niu was very useful, grinning and smirking. The leaf cards in front of him, like mahjong and poker, nodded thoughtfully. According to historical records, Leaf Tile is the ancestor of poker, honor cards and mahjong, and was later brought to Europe by Marco Polo, where it became popular.

In the science of gambling, the ancestors walked at the forefront of the world, and the leaves were in their pockets and came to another gambling table. Picked up three dice, let go of the palm of his hand to weigh it, and sure enough, it was filled with mercury. Wu Kang is happy again, this kind of way to get out of the old man, Datang is popular?

Peel aside the messy copper coins, revealing a white silk cloth, embroidered with red "Zhuang" in the middle, and "big", "small" and "leopard" on both sides. Pick up the bamboo dice clock with great interest, put it into the dice for a moment, swing it a few times, and buckle the dice clock on the table.

Fingers struck the dice bell, recalling that when he first crossed, the original owner gambled with his fox friends and dog friends, and unintentionally beat Daddy Wu, and was forced to leave Muzhou. Since I learned that my father had moved, countless people were sent to look for him, but there was still no news. Daddy, Auntie, little sister and little brother, I am now developed, hurry back and enjoy the blessings!

Full of melancholy, interrupted by the sound of a call, Wu Kang came back to his senses, saw the big bull eyebrows and smiled, and handed over the copper coin. Wu Kang stretched out his hand to take it, and Da Niu grabbed another handful from the pile of money, half of which was big, half of which was big, and pointed to the dice clock that was being held.

It's a little interesting, Wu Kang put the copper coin on the table, stretched out his fingers to clip the two papers, threw them on the leopard in a chic manner, and turned around and left without opening the dice clock. When he got out of the door, Da Niu opened it cautiously, and grinned widely: three sixes, leopards are all killed.

Wu Kang came to the courtyard, his teammates were cleaning the battlefield, and the Soviet division, which had been waiting for a long time, hurried over to report: "Ming Gong Rongyu, a total of ten gambling houses, all of them are controlled, and the scribe is counting the bars." Five of our people, with minor injuries, have been sent to Dr. Hua. Ming Gong, what to do next? ”

Wu Kang pondered for a moment and said, "Collect all the money, including gambling money, money saved in gambling houses, and gamblers' belongings." Count the number and divide it by the number of heads to get the average. The average number does not exceed two or five, record the information of gamblers, play 100 boards according to the law, and throw them on Dongming Avenue. Inform their families that they will take all of them before the curfew, and those who do not take them will be given another 20. ”

"If it exceeds two or five sentences, it shall be sentenced to one year's imprisonment according to the law. Count the materials, prepare the verdict, let them sign and draw the sentence, and throw them all into the cell", paused slightly, and continued to order: "Send someone to inform the prison chief Qin Changshan that no one is allowed to visit the prison without my order." No matter what identity you are, as long as you are not honest, you will beat me to death. ”

Lao Su summoned the scribe, and ordered the side as promised, and when the scribe left, his face was very entangled, and he said for a long time: "Ming Gong Rongyu, we have made a big fuss this time, I'm afraid... Just now, Wei Langjun found me and said that the backstage of the Du family is Chang'an..."

"Let go of me, I'm Du Mei, I want to see Wu Kang, you let go of me", shouted arrogantly, interrupting the Soviet division. Wu Kang turned around and saw a young man coming over, about thirty years old, wearing a yellow silk coat and a catfish mouth with a Chinese face. There was a black mole on the left cheek, the size of a copper coin, and two black hairs on the mole.

Du Mei kept pricking the needles, and the bad people were a little timid and didn't dare to twist their arms hard. Wu Kang looked up and down, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, you are Du Dashao? looks so ugly, dare to covet Cui Xiaoqing? Wu Kang pursed his lips in disgust, and waved his hand to give the fat beating order.

The bad guy spoke, and immediately fell to the ground, dragged the stick and beat him hard. Calling like a wild cat, Du Dashao curled up in a ball, holding his head and wailing.

Lao Su was frightened, shook his goatee, and shouted in his voice: "Ming Gong can't fight, Du Langjun's aunt is the princess's nurse, personal maid and the head of the princess's mansion." ”

"Hehe, what does the princess have... What's that? Stop", Wu Kang was really scared, my mother! The princess's nurse is also close to the general manager, stabbing the sky! His head was buzzing, and he scolded Lao Su angrily: "Damn Tian Shenu, why didn't you say it earlier?" ”

Lao Su cried, I didn't have a chance to say it! Wu Kang was dizzy, his eyes were black and he almost fell, and Da Niu hurriedly came over to help. No wonder Du Mei is so arrogant, brazenly opening casinos, blatant usury, brazenly kidnapping wives and daughters, and the backstage is as high as three or four floors.

No wonder this morning, the big guy was invited to a meeting to discuss cleaning the Du family alley, and the old foxes all looked constipated. Lao Cui was noncommittal and stayed out of the matter. The five major military officers were deaf and dumb, and Lao Wei wanted to speak and stopped, and finally chose to be silent.

They know who the backer is, but they pretend to be deaf and dumb, and the rhythm of doing things is ah. The old foxes want to trap people, and the purpose is sorghum wine. When I pierced the sky, I pretended to come out to comfort me, and threatened me with a joint letter to force me to vomit out the wine stocks.

Thinking about this, Wu Kang gritted his steel teeth, and cold sweat slipped from his head. The princess of the Tang Dynasty, who can intervene in court politics, is quite strong. As the saying goes, the prime minister's door is a seven-rank official, the princess's nurse and the personal manager, how many officials are there?

When the wind blows in your ears like this, you will be unlucky. A question haunts me, who can save me? Gritted his teeth and looked at Lao Su, how to redeem it, you said!

Lao Su decisively bowed his head, saying that there was nothing to be done, and he scolded angrily. After scolding a few words, I felt that it was useless, I took a deep breath to force myself to calm down, racking my brains to think of a remedy.

Not to mention, I really thought of it, the only person in the world who can save himself is Wu Zhaoyi. The old lady is being pampered, and her pillow wind should be better than that of the office-in-law. Thinking of this, he hurriedly left, planning to write a distress letter to Sister Wu. didn't take two steps, and listened to the arrogant sneer: "The surname is Wu, let's go?" ”

Wu Kang stopped, smoothed out his hideous smile and changed his smile, turned around and said kindly: "Hey, Du Dashao, your aunt is a princess and a nurse, and my sister is a sage Zhaoyi, a family, brothers." Look at this whole thing, the flood washed the Dragon King Temple, and the family did not recognize the family. ”

Su Goutou was very eye-catching, trotted into the house, and moved the high-backed Taishi chair. Greeting the bad guys, he helped Du Mei onto the chair, nodded and flattered: "Ming Gong's sister is Wu Zhaoyi, the saint is very favored, you are all relatives of the emperor, you are all misunderstandings." ”

"Misunderstanding fart! Little Zhaoyi, can she compare with the saint's own sister? Du Mei straightened his waist and stared at Wu Kang and gritted his teeth: "Wu is so powerful in the army, Nai Weng has been in Wuzhou for 20 years, and Cui Gongshang is jealous of me for three points, what are you?" Smash my yard and beat Naion, this thing can't be finished. ”

Wu Kang sank his face, Lao Su continued, and the bitter gourd smiled with a chrysanthemum, three words of good words, two words of misunderstanding. But soon bad luck added, Du Mei grabbed the bamboo tube and smashed it firmly on his head. Lao Su stumbled under his feet, the skin on the left side of his face was smashed, and blood gushed out.

Du Mei was as cold as ice, staring at Wu Kang and said disdainfully: "Eh, I said, do you know how the last sergeant joined the army, how did he get out?" It's just that I was offended, my aunt sued the princess, the princess sued the saint, and the dog joined the army to the end, and went back to his hometown to farm. He is Cui's father-in-law's uncle, what kind of green onion is you, a prospective son-in-law? ”

This grandson is so horizontal, Wu Kang's face is black into the bottom of the pot, he doesn't fight between words and tongues, and orders someone to treat Lao Su's wounds.

Du Mei laughed strangely and continued to sneer: "With your virtue, you also want to marry the Nine Ladies and dream of your Spring and Autumn Festival!" I will write today, the saint loves the seventeenth princess the most, you just wait for the holy decree, go home and farm. When the time comes, it's ours, hum..."

You also have a big dream of the Spring and Autumn Period, and the gift of the levy is passed, Jiuniang is the daughter-in-law of the martial arts, even if I go home to raise pigs, she has to... Wrong! Wu Kang's pupils constricted, and he bowed and smiled: "What Du Dashao said is that I am not worthy of Jiu Niang. It's all to blame for my eyes, I don't know Du Shaozun's gods, and I want to beat and scold and listen to Zun. Da Shao just said, the seventeenth princess, right? ”

"It's the seventeenth princess! To tell you the truth, she grew up eating my aunt's grandmother", Du Mei dragged it into two hundred and fifty eighty thousand, shook her head and said, "It's too late to apologize now!" The surname is Wu, I will give you a chance, as long as you kneel down and apologize, and then find Cui Gong to repent of the marriage and compensate me eight times... What do you look on, what do you smile at? ”

Wu Kang smiled happily, his waist gradually straightened, and Guan Wei came back. If it is another princess, as long as there are two ways, either spit out wine and beg the old fox, or ask Sister Wu for help. However, Sister Wu is busy with palace fighting, so she may not take care of me. In this way, you can only be ripped off and spit out all the liquor stocks.

However, the seventeenth princess, Lao Tzu is really not afraid. She is the beloved daughter of the late President Li, the seventeenth sister of President Li Jiu, the daughter-in-law of Fang Xuanling, the beloved daughter-in-law of the cuckold king, the female pig's foot of the jade pillow, and the famous princess Gaoyang in history.

Although I have never met her, this admiration is like a surging river. Gao Yang and Sister Wu are virtuous, and they face countless masters. Recalling the history carefully, his smile became sweeter and sweeter, and the huge plan came to his mind, and he laughed wildly at the sky.

Everyone was stunned, Da Niu hurriedly ran over, helped him and shouted anxiously: "Go and invite Wu Kai father and son, go and tell Jiu Niangzi, Wu Gong's hysteria has recurred... Gong Wu, don't be afraid, his aunt is just a slave, your sister is Zhaoyi, the saint must be towards you, we are not afraid..."

"What are you yelling about, you have hysteria", Wu Kai pushed the big bull away and reprimanded with a straight face: "Trivial, you don't need the old sister to go out, the official can handle it." Da Niu, entertain Du Dashao and give him plastic surgery. If his mother can recognize him, I will make your old lady not recognize you. What are you doing in a daze? Beat me to death! ”

As the saying goes, when the sky falls, the tall man will hit it, and the big guy will beat us. The minions had had enough of Du Mei and kicked him off his chair and greeted him with a crackling greeting.

Du Mei was completely insane, and roared: "Wu Kang... I want you to cut it all over! ”

Wu Kang hehe: "I will also let you be slashed all over the house!" ”
