Chapter 80: The Gambler Who Dropped His Bag
The Flying Money Gang disintegrated in a hurry, and most of the huge vouchers in the hands of the feudal officials were not cashed, and the top half of the card in Cang'er's hand alone was worth 10,000 taels of gold, so you can imagine how huge the amount of ill-gotten wealth that was not redeemed. This money became the object of competition between black and white, which directly led to the helmsmen being hunted down.
"And that's just the tip of the iceberg." Jiang Tao said, "The predecessor of the Feiqian Gang, Bailongyuan Firm, has always been Tang Wanchun's underground bank, specializing in a profitable business, and the funds come from merchants all over the world, and they are lent to others at an interest rate several times higher than that of the people. After the establishment of the Flying Money Gang, it was out of control, and most of the stolen money of corrupt officials flowed into the Flying Money Gang, participating in the usury business of the Flying Money Gang, and laundering the embezzled money. Tang Wanchun's reserve funds were unprecedentedly sufficient, and he began to lend high loans nationwide. ”
The more Cang'er listens, the more afraid he becomes, isn't this private fund-raising and money laundering in modern society?
Jiang Tao continued: "The Flying Money Gang went to the empty building overnight and swept away all the capital contributions, which is no less than a salary draw from the bottom of the kettle for the merchants and corrupt officials who participated in this huge profit. The Flying Money Gang's grievances are not limited to one family, not only the investors, but even the debtors of the Flying Money Gang have come to intervene. ”
"Debtor?" Cang'er didn't understand, "The Flying Money Gang has fallen, and the debtors should be happy, no one has forced them to pay back." ”
Jiang Tao said: "After many debtors mortgage the deed jewelry, workshop and shop to the Flying Money Gang to borrow usury, they are inseparable from the end of the family being ruined and their wives separated. ”
Cang'er understood.
"Let's talk about Happy Gate," Jiang Tao spat out, "Since the death of the old master, it has split into two factions, one faction specializes in killing corrupt officials, and the other faction specializes in killers." The only difference between the two factions of the well water does not violate the river water, it is self-contained, and it is impossible to say who is right and who is evil, and the only difference between the swordsman who specializes in killing corrupt officials will leave a murder weapon on the deceased, Zhu Yeqing, and the swordsman who is engaged in the killer never leaves evidence after killing. ”
Cang'er said helplessly: "Happy Gate is enough of a headache, I don't want another mysterious mortar gang to emerge." Guo Da Tailor hid in a sandalwood box and fled to Taoduling Old Street, where he was frantically intercepted by a group of assassins. From the outside, they are not the same way as the Happy Gate Swordsman at all. ”
Tailor Guo died twice, was the first death related to these assassins?
Cang Er continued: "Huo Huyuan escorted his newlywed wife to the hospital, passing by the 'Sitting and Eating Mountain' restaurant, and also had a fight with a gang of killers, these killers include middle-aged knights, blind people, Humpty Dumpty people, and red and white girls, they don't look like people from Happy Gate. ”
Jiang Tao analyzed: "The secret weapons of the Mandarin Duck Gate are endless, and they are known for their strangeness. The couple of Never Leaving the Master and Not Giving Up the Master have a quirk of doing things, and their highest attainment is to treat people as secret envoys. Sitting and eating in the empty restaurant, the blind man and the Humpty Dumpty man will never give up, and with tacit understanding, it is a pair of wonderful hidden weapons. ”
"What kind of relationship does the Mandarin Duck Gate have with the Flying Money Gang?" Cang'er was curious.
"In the past 20 years, the natural disasters in Yunnan and Guizhou have never been separated, and the court has spared no effort to provide disaster relief. They did not dare to transport the withheld relief money back to Chang'an or their ancestral hometown, so they borrowed money to help them launder the money and justifiably claim it as their own.
"The whereabouts of the Flying Money Gang are unknown, and along with it, there are the capital contributions of merchants from all over the world, the embezzlement funds of the feudal officials, and the money earned by the Flying Money Gang from years of high loans. The sum of this money is comparable to that of the country, and the forces of all parties are eyeing each other, and it is rumored that Tang Wanchun and the four ghosts transported this treasure to a little-known secret realm, and the secret key to open the secret realm is hidden on them. There are various indications that the turtles on the four turtles are related to the secret key. People die for money, and birds die for food. Both the Happy Gate and the Mandarin Duck Gate are here for the key. Whoever gets the first chance gets the property. ”
Cang'er took over the conversation: "The person who seized the opportunity killed the killer and deliberately destroyed the human body embroidery, so that the secret key became an eternal secret." But they didn't expect that we had cutter heads. ”
Cang'er is proud of the old knife.
The old knife, who had been silent, suddenly interjected: "Tanhua, always catching heads, there is one thing that is very strange." ”
Cang Er said: "But it doesn't hurt to say it. ”
Jiang Tao listened attentively.
The old knife said slowly: "The turtle texture on the corpses of Su Yuanwai, Shen Shanren, and Guo Da is old, but the turtle texture on the corpse of Ma Shenxian is new, and it was tattooed not long before death. ”
There are no three hundred taels of silver here, and Cang'er and Jiang Tao look at each other.
Trying to make people believe that Ma Shenxian is a gambler, it will be counterproductive, and Cang'er and Jiang Tao feel the need to re-determine the identity of Huo Huyuan.
Time waits for no one, Cang'er woke up the Lei Dao brand head pole in his sleep, and asked him to lead people to go straight to the residence of Huo Huyuan, Huang Po has disappeared, and Huo Huyuan can't be let disappear.
The pole took the order, took Lei Yi, and hurried to the compound guarded by Huo Huyuan, it was difficult to find even a ghost in the compound, and there was no Huo Huyuan person.
The rod's heart sank.
The rod returned to the patrol room to explain the situation, and his eyes were like torches: "Everything is designed by Huo Nursing Academy, and Ma Shenxian must have been the substitute ghost of Huo Nursing Academy." ”
Jiang Tao sighed: "Huo Huyuan can hide from the first year of junior high school, can he hide from the second year of junior high school?" ”
Fairy Casino.
The whole casino is blind in the dark, the original Feiqian Gang West Branch Helm Master Gambler (Huo Huyuan) is hiding in the dark, since that day he walked out of the casino and met the young prodigal, Chang'an has murders one after another, natural enemies come to the door, and the gambler is terrified,
He didn't dare to fight with natural enemies, twenty years ago, many leaders in Yunnan and Guizhou died in the tragic situation of Zhuyeqing, and the first choice for gamblers was to escape the pursuit.
The gambler was the first to join Tang Wanchun's underground bank and became Tang Wanchun's left and right arm.
Tang Wanchun was the first person to enjoy the usury dividend, and the second gambler. It is also Tang Wanchun's idea to buy the fairy casino, if you want the usury business of the underground bank to be prosperous, the customer source is the key, and the gambler is undoubtedly the best customer.
In order to expand the popularity of Sesame Courtyard, the predecessor of the Immortal Casino, he and Tang Wanchun deliberately deified a story of wandering monks and immortals. Of course, the person who plays the role of Yunyou Daxian is his gambler himself, and the gambler mysteriously left a mystery and released a rumor: "As long as you crack this mystery, you can win the world's gambling game." With the continuous fermentation of this mystery, the fame of Sesame Courtyard became more and more famous, and gamblers flocked to it, creating the later fairy casino.
Usually, gamblers borrow money from casinos and need physical collateral, such as insolvency, physical compensation, many gamblers go bankrupt and sell their children and daughters.
At present, the gambling ghost depends on the courtyard of survival/storage, the head of the household is Ma Shenxian, Ma Shenxian is very beautiful on the surface of the casino, in fact, he has a hard time, he owes a bad debt to the fairy casino, and the Ma family compound under his name has already arrived at the fairy casino.
The drunkard is in the Ma family compound as Huo Huyuan
Lie down, wait for your time, and make a comeback.
The appearance of the young prodigal son, the killing of Su Yuanwai and Shen Shanren broke the illusion of gambling, Chang'an was not a place to stay for a long time, and he sought a way to escape.
He promised Ma Shenxian that as long as he helped him play a double reed, helped him escape successfully, and returned the contract of the Ma family's compound, there was nothing more than the deed to move Ma Shenxian's heart, and Ma Shenxian agreed without thinking about it. The drunkard bought Huang Po again, and staged a good show of worshipping heaven and earth, hiding people's eyes and ears.
He strode on the official road, deliberately swaggered through the market, and focused the killer's attention on the person in the sedan chair, he likes to gamble, it is his nature to gamble, and he gambles that his life will escape from Chang'an.
Ma Shenxian was not surprised when his stand-in was killed, and he was taken back to Chang'an, and fear accompanied him all the way.
He didn't dare to go back to the Ma family's compound, and temporarily stayed in the Immortal Casino tonight.
There was a strange laugh in the darkness, the laughter was sharp and poignant, like a mouse grinding its teeth, mixed with a weak voice: "Do you dare to bet with me?"
The drunkard couldn't resist the sickly voice and stammered, "Bet...... Miscellaneous...... What?"
"Bet if you can see the sun tomorrow!" The man's voice suddenly became more terrifying than hell.
