Chapter 9: The Wisher Takes the Bait
Sure enough, how to clear the expectations, Bai Sheng, the day rat, listened to the grand event of the gambling king conference, and his mind suddenly became lively.
"The surname Wang! If you dare to come to me again, be careful that I hit you with a rolling pin! Bai Sheng's mother-in-law waved a rolling pin and drove away the shopkeeper who had sent a message to Bai Sheng.
Seeing that her man was in a daze, Bai Sheng's mother-in-law pinched Bai Sheng vigorously, "Master, don't forget Chao Baozheng's instructions!" ”
was reminded by his mother-in-law, Bai Sheng was excited, and recalled the words of Chao Gai when they were separated that day.
"Brothers, tell you the truth. We have succeeded in this birth platform, which is a blessing! Not to mention Cai Jing Lao'er in Tokyo and Liang Zhongshu in the Daimyo Mansion, there are already people in Erlong Mountain and Liangshan who have already gotten the news. ”
"Thanks to Professor Wu's strategy, all the brothers worked together to get these treasures. But I have something to tell you! If the birth gang is robbed, the world will inevitably be shaken, and the government will have to track it down to the end. ”
Afraid that the government would track him down, Chao Gai instructed everyone one by one. Chao Gai pretended to be sick at home, Gongsun Sheng pretended to be a doctor who saw a doctor, and Wu Yongquan was a friend who visited the patient. Liu Tang pretended to be a defector, but because of his extraordinary appearance, he never went out easily. In addition, everyone's wealth is not used, and they are all hidden in the land.
Only Bai Sheng was a local, afraid that his wife would miss him, and he had the heart to show off in front of his wife, so he returned home. Bai Sheng didn't know that Chao Gai's instructions were all summons from Wang Lun.
When Bai Sheng left, Chao Gai told him not to use the money of the birth gang, and the money should be hidden and hidden, and not to gamble. It's just that within two days, Bai Sheng broke the ring of spending money.
Wrapped around his waist but guarding it, it is like a brocade night walk, Bai Sheng is so uncomfortable. No, as soon as he spent money, He Qing saw the flaw.
Fortunately, at this time, Bai Sheng's mother-in-law reminded Bai Sheng. Thinking of Brother Chao Gai's kindness to him, Bai Sheng slapped his right hand with his left hand: "There is a saying that dogs can't change their eating, you are just a mouse, do you have to eat?" Bai Sheng gritted his teeth and muttered in a low voice: "I don't believe it, can you die in a hurry if you don't gamble?" ”
When the husband and wife returned to the room, Bai Sheng's mother-in-law smiled innocently: "Da Lang, you must be ambitious." looks like a good man, and it is not in vain that I married you in the face of my father's opposition. ”
Bai Sheng sat on the chair, drinking tea for a long time, his heart was up and down, and he scratched his heart with a hundred claws.
While cleaning up the house, Mrs. Bai Sheng said hatefully: "Wang Qi's wife has been trying to seduce you to gamble all day long, but it hasn't gone into his pocket. The old lady has long wanted to beat that bastard, who would have thought that he would come to the door today to beg for a beating? Even if he hits him like this, he can't keep quiet, see if he dares to call you to gamble again in the future? ”
"Having said that, but the folks in the big hometown, if you look up and don't look down, it's not good for you to beat him like this." Bai Sheng shook his head with a wry smile, but just looked at the roof in a daze: "You can't gamble if you have money, you can't drink wine, and the birds are fading out of your mouth, so you can live a life like this!" ”
Bai Sheng thought wildly, sat on the chair and fell asleep in a daze. When he slept until the time of the card, Bai Sheng was awakened by a noise, and when he opened his eyes, he saw his own lady walking in from the outside.
I saw Mrs. Bai Sheng put a large bag of pastries on the table, lowered her eyebrows and said: "Da Lang, what you said is reasonable, although the shopkeeper Wang is treacherous, how can we be as knowledgeable as him." The slave family beat him in the morning, and he was uneasy, so he went to the street to buy some pastries. ”
"This is my good lady!" When Bai Sheng heard this, he was overjoyed, hurriedly got dressed, and walked out of the door with the pastries. Wang Qi is not only the owner of the gambling house, but also the master who brought Bai Sheng into the industry, but he doesn't want to offend.
Walking to the door, Bai Sheng turned around and asked with a smile: "Lady, aren't you afraid of my gambling money?" ”
"It's up to you to bet or not, anyway, the slave can't tie you to a sweat towel." Mrs. Bai Sheng said a word, and went to work.
Bai Sheng walked on the road, and his heart was moved. Although the lady has always opposed him to gambling money, in front of outsiders, she has always held him very high, and she has never even said a cruel word. Not to mention being like someone else's lady, splashing and rolling around and flipping the table. I said that I can't gamble anymore, in that way, I'm sorry for my own mother, but also sorry for Brother Chao Gai.
Not long after, when I arrived at the Wang's gambling house, I saw Wang Qi, and the two of them chatted for a while. Bai Sheng sincerely apologized, and Wang Qi pretended to accept it.
After sitting for a while, Wang Qi said intentionally or unintentionally: "Brother Bai, I went to your house in the morning, not to seduce you to gamble, but to tell you that I want to go to Jeju City, I'm afraid that you won't find me when you look for me." ”
"Shopkeeper Wang, what are you doing in Jeju City for no reason?" Bai Sheng was a little surprised, and opened his mouth to ask.
Wang Qi pretended to be surprised and said, "Didn't Da Lang hear about it?" The whole Jeju Mansion spread, and someone held a gambling king event in Babaolou, the largest restaurant in the city. How many dignitaries and businessmen have been attracted? I heard that the entrance fee for the finals alone costs 100 taels of silver. I don't have that much money, I just go and see the excitement. ”
While the two were talking, someone outside the door shouted: "Shopkeeper Wang, it's time to go!" ”
"It's coming, it's coming." Wang Qi agreed, and said to Bai Sheng: "I'm leaving, Brother Bai will take care of himself!" With that, Wang Qi took the burden, said goodbye to Bai Sheng, got into a carriage and hurried away.
Coming out of the Wang's gambling house, Bai Sheng has been itching. Although gambling money is his favorite, he has never seen the kind of big scene that Wang Qi said.
"If you can go there for a while, it's worth dying!"
After Bai Sheng returned home, he didn't meet with his mother, and dug out a bag of gold and silver jewelry directly under the bed. He took out the horse in the back trough and headed all the way to Jeju City.
He also wants to see what is going on at this gambling king event, but he has to change his identity. It's just that he didn't notice that his deeds had already been seen through.
——————————————————————————————
Babaolou is located at the intersection of Qipan Street in Jeju City, and in this place where every inch of land is valuable, it actually occupies four or five acres of land. There are many cabinets in the building, and there are more than 100 large and small rooms, which are famous restaurants in Shandong and Hebei. Although the overall scale is not as good as the Cuiyun Building in the Daimyo Mansion, the casino in the building is famous.
The hall in this casino can accommodate hundreds of people, which is said to be the largest in Shandong. What's even more difficult is that dozens of scantily clad stunning beauties in the hall exchange chips for gamblers and provide free Longjing tea.
In the past two days, due to the relationship between the gambling king's grand event, Babaolou is even more crowded, and there are many people. Although it is said that most of them are lively, the popularity of the gambling king event can be seen from this.
Standing on the highest floor of Tianxian Tower, He Tao, the envoy of Sandu, looked at the crowded scene downstairs, couldn't help but frown, turned back to his brother He Qing and said: "Brother, even for my brother, I didn't expect that a mere gambling king event could have such a big impact?" I just hope that Bai Sheng, the day rat, can also come. ”
"Brother, brother has gotten the news that Bai Sheng has arrived. He stole a road guide out of nowhere, pretended to be a wealthy businessman from Mengzhou, and lived in this building. ”
He Qing was able to calm down, with a normal look on his face, and asked, "Brother, it's just that your manpower must be arranged, and you must not let that kid slip away." As far as the younger brother knows, although the daymouse is not very good, it is very slippery. ”
"Since he is here, even if he has wings, he can't fly out of my hand!" He Tao laughed and said: "Brother Wei has already arranged hundreds of quick-eyed catchers inside and outside the building, as well as those dressed in civilian clothes and mixed in the crowd. In addition, just in case, I also seconded 1,000 men and horses from the training envoy of the Huang An regiment to guard the four gates like iron buckets, so that not even a fly could fly out. ”
"That's fine, brother, you just wait for the promotion and get rich!" A smile finally appeared on He Qing's face.
