At night, the family in Xiangyang City is full of casinos. attracted many gamblers to watch, one of the two sides of the bet was a little white face known to Li Hongyu, and the other was a white-clothed son.

At this moment, the two of them were full of chips in front of them, and the amount was tens of thousands of taels as far as the eye could see, and such a big gamble was not common in Xiangyang City.

It is worth mentioning that the little white face and the boy in white are not betting on pai gow or dice, but on the odds and doubles of soybeans.

This gambling method is very simple, that is, to bet on whether the number of soybeans in a bunch is odd or even, and you can't cheat like Pai Gow or dice, and winning or losing depends entirely on luck.

Under the nervous gaze of the crowd, a dealer with a small stick carefully removed the soybeans piled on a plate on the table in groups of four.

Although the atmosphere at the scene was tense and depressing, the little white face and the white-clothed boy who were betting were relaxed, leisurely sipping tea there, as if they didn't take the chips on the table to heart at all.

"There are two soybeans left, even number!" Finally, the dealer finished the pile of soybeans, wiped the sweat oozing from his forehead, looked at the two remaining soybeans on the plate and said the results loudly.

With a bang, there was a commotion in the silent room, and people were talking about it one after another, which meant that the gambling game of tens of thousands of taels finally had a result.

"This brother, I have conceded." In the midst of people's discussions, Xiao Baimian stood up and arched his hand to the boy in white with a smile.

"I don't think I'm going to have a lot of luck." The white-clothed boy stood up with a smile when he heard this, looked at the little white face and said, "Since I have lost so much in Xia, I wonder if Brother Tai can have a drink tomorrow." ”

"Young Master Ben never drinks with outsiders." Xiao Baiyan smiled slightly, picked up a few chips from the table and threw them in front of the boy in white, "These are enough for you to have a good drink." ”

As he spoke, Xiao Baiyan turned to leave, and Sun Feng and the others who were standing on the side hurriedly followed when they saw this, and several subordinates methodically packed up the chips on the table.

"Interesting!" Seeing that the little white face actually rejected his proposal, the boy in white was slightly stunned at first, and then said with a smile.

"That guy is in control of our Huguang's private salt business, why don't you drink with him?"

After leaving the casino, on the way to the Spring Breeze Pavilion to celebrate, Sun Feng, who was riding in a carriage with Xiao Bai Face, asked Xiao Bai Face, who was sitting opposite with his eyes closed, and asked him a little puzzled, in his opinion, this was an excellent opportunity to contact the other party.

Today, the most profitable business is private salt, and the private salt business is naturally in charge of the salt merchant association in Yangzhou, and the private salt business in Daming must be coordinated through the salt merchant association, and the white boy is an important figure in the salt merchant association.

"He's already seen my daughter, that's why he wants me to invite him to drink." The little white face closed his eyes and replied methodically.

"You're saying this kid has bad intentions!" Sun Feng immediately understood the intention of Xiao Baiyan, and said with some surprise, "It seems that this kid is a veteran of the love scene, if it weren't for this, it would be difficult to recognize your identity." ”

"A gentleman like him who likes the new and hates the old is the most annoying, thinking that he can be lawless with some power, how can his aunt and grandmother do what he wants!"

The corners of Xiao Bai's mouth couldn't help but reveal a sneer of disdain, "Besides, my aunt and grandmother are not interested in the private salt business, this kind of business that eats people and does not spit out bones can only be done by those who are hungry for profit." ”

Sun Feng couldn't help but smile helplessly when he heard this, I don't know how many people in this world have squeezed their heads and want to get a piece of the private salt business, but the little white face would disdain it.

However, Sun Feng was relieved when he thought about it, how could he get involved in the private salt business as a little white face, it was not a question of whether he was breaking the law or not, but it was about her and her family's reputation.

"By the way, what do you think about the matter in Gwanghwa County." At this time, Xiao Baimian suddenly opened his eyes and asked Sun Feng with interest, "Don't you think those villains appear a little too strangely?" ”

"It's a pity they ran too fast, and our people couldn't keep up." Sun Feng naturally knew that Xiao Baimian was talking about Yang Renxiao's manor being on fire, and after nodding, he said helplessly, "Otherwise, we can know who those guys are." ”

"You tell me, what kind of villain will send someone to follow after Qin Yue and her maid are released?" A sly smile flashed on the little white face's face, and he looked at Sun Feng quietly and asked.

"I also wonder why they sent someone to follow her to a relative's house since they released Qin Yue." Sun Feng nodded puzzled when he heard this, and then asked tentatively, "Could it be that they want to rob the Qin family?" ”

"I thought so at first, but I always felt that something was wrong, there was no need for those gangsters to be so troublesome, as long as they knew Qin Yue's identity, they could naturally rob the Qin family, why bother sending people to follow them?"

Xiao Baimian stretched lazily, and then said to Sun Feng with a smile, "So, I was thinking later if there was another possibility, that gangster was not going to spy on Qin Yue but to protect her and see if she went home smoothly." ”

But why would they do it? They should be in the same life as Qin Yue, right? Sun Feng's brows furrowed slightly when he heard this, and he couldn't understand the reason for it for a while.

"According to the subordinates of the Yang family who guarded Qin Yue, those gangsters went to rob money, but since the subordinates of the Yang family went to that manor, the gate has not been opened, and the people outside don't know about their existence at all, so how can those gangsters know that there is money here?"

Xiao Bai's eyes flashed, and he looked at Sun Feng with a smile, "If you are a villain who robs a house, will you find out the situation inside when you rob a big family?" ”

"What do you mean......" Sun Feng was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Xiao Bai's face with a look of disbelief, "Those gangsters are saving Qin Yue?" ”

"Now it seems that this may be a very good explanation." Xiao Baimian bowed slightly when he heard this, and said with a smile, "Don't you think those villains are too arrogant and actually set fire to that house, why do they do this?" Is it because you didn't grab the money? ”

"Who sent those people who could save Qin Yue?" Sun Feng felt that Xiao Bai's face was reasonable, and nodded thoughtfully and asked, he couldn't understand this, who could know where Qin Yue was imprisoned?

"Of course, the person who did this has a close relationship with her, I asked people to check, and the subordinates around the head of the Li case did not appear in public yesterday, and those subordinates did not appear until this morning."

Xiao Bai smiled, looked at Sun Feng meaningfully and said, "Do you think this is a coincidence?" ”

"Is there such a thing?" A look of surprise flashed on Sun Feng's face, after Xiao Bailan's words just now, he didn't think that the disappearance of Wang Tieniu and the others was a coincidence.

"Interesting, if this matter was done by the head of the Li case, how did he know about Yang Renxiao's house in Gwanghua County?"

Xiao Baiyan clasped her hands to her chest, and said to herself with great interest, you must know that if she hadn't happened to meet Yang Renxiao in Yunjue Temple at that time and sent someone to follow her, then she didn't know that Yang Renxiao had bought such a new private house.

"Could it be that Zhao Xiucai did it, this person is not only brilliant but also quite shrewd." At this time, Sun Feng suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help but say to Xiaobai's face, Zhao Xiucai in his mouth naturally referred to Zhao Xin.

"This is a possibility, how can the young owner of the Fuxiang be an idle person." Xiao Baimian nodded when he heard this, and then showed a suspicious look on his face, "It's just how did he know Qin Yue's whereabouts?" ”

"Could it be that he bought the people around Yang Renxiao?" Sun Feng thought of a possibility and asked tentatively, it was impossible to find Qin Yue's whereabouts so quickly.

"There must be very few people around Yang Renxiao who know about this, if I'm not mistaken, there seems to be a follower by his side, if it were me, that follower would be an excellent target."

Xiao Bai smiled, she had already thought of this question, and then Liu Mei frowned slightly, "What makes me wonder is how he linked Qin Yue's disappearance to Yang Renxiao." ”

"The follower next to Yang Renxiao is called Yang Zhong, it's better to do this, I'll send someone to arrest him and torture him to see if the traitor Qiu Rong sold Qin Yue's news to the head of the Li case." Seeing that the little white face was interested in Qin Yue's affairs, Sun Feng pondered for a while and then said in a low voice.

"No, it won't do him any good to do this, and Yang Renxiao treats him very well, there is no need for him to betray Yang Renxiao." Xiao Baiyan shook his head after thinking about it, it was obvious that Yang Zhong knew that this matter was important to Yang Renxiao and the Yang family, how could he do this for no reason?

"It's a pity, they are going to leave Xiangyang City to go to Wuchang to take the exam, and we can only find out the reason after the township test is over."

Seeing this, Sun Feng couldn't help but sigh helplessly, and said to Xiao Baiyan a little depressed, "I didn't expect that there are things in this Xiangyang City realm that we don't know. ”

"We've got enough to know, we'll have to do the rest." Xiao Baimian smiled slightly when he heard this, and after the corners of his eyebrows rose slightly, he looked at Sun Feng excitedly and said, "This year is the year of the township test, and Wuchang City must be very lively, so we naturally have to join in the fun." ”

"This ...... This is not good, you have a noble status, why do you have to say it to the old man. Sun Feng suddenly showed a look of embarrassment on his face when he heard this, but he knew the character of the little white face, and he might cause some trouble when he arrived in Wuchang City.

"How did you become such a mother-in-law, if you don't dare to go, I'll go by myself."

Xiao Baimian couldn't help glaring at Sun Feng dissatisfiedly when he heard this, and then continued to close his eyes and recuperate, and said, "Don't forget, we can bet tens of thousands of taels of silver with them, betting that the head of the Li case can win the solution of the township test, and the loss of money is small, but if someone plays tricks and plots against the head of the Li case, then we will lose aggrieved." ”

Sun Feng couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, since Xiao Bai Mian said this, what else could he say, if it was because he didn't follow Xiao Bai Mian to Wuchang City and something happened to Xiao Bai Mian, then his father would definitely kill him, and the only way to do this is to be forced to go to Liangshan and accompany Xiao Bai Mian to Wuchang City.
