Li Ling said goodbye to Ye Wan, and went to the "Hanguang Temple" to call Shang Fei to rush to the casino. Qian Xuping and others had already been waiting inside, and some gamblers ate people with short mouths and greeted "Brother Ling" and "Brother Ling" one after another. Li Ling also answered politely one by one.

Today, it was still the dealer, and when he saw Li Ling coming, his face was gray again. The gambler next to him had already gotten up to give up the few seats he had, and Li Ling thanked him and didn't sit down, saying, "Change the way you play today and push Pai Gow." The dealer let out a long sigh of relief.

Pai Gow is a banker plus three players, and four people bet against each other. Of course, there are others who can bet on the player or the banker. Li Ling won a game yesterday, and his reputation is outstanding, and someone has already given up his seat. Learn a little about the gambling methods in the south, which is not much different from the north, so you can let go of your hands and feet to gamble.

I have to say that Li Ling's luck in the past two days is really good, although he didn't go against the sky yesterday, he still won more than 600 oceans, which made many people envious. Before the end of the scene, Li Ling invited everyone to the restaurant for a big meal.

Li Ling tasted the sweetness of gambling, and changed the two-eight bar game on the third day. Until the evening, Li Ling won dozens of yuan, but he still called many gamblers to eat and drink. Qian Xuping pulled him aside and said, "Although you regard money as dung, it's not a matter of consuming it like this every time." Li Ling smiled slightly, but didn't take it to heart.

On the fourth day, Li Ling was already a celebrity in the casino and nearby gangs because of his bold moves, and many people came to see him. The casino owner is a shrewd old man in his fifties, and invited Li Ling to play mahjong in the inner room together, and Qian Xuping and Lu Liansheng were also accompanied.

Generally, the people who go to the inner room gamble bigger. Qian Xuping, as a well-known rich man in Jianghuai, is certainly not afraid. Lu Liansheng's monthly income is not a decimal, and he is also wealthy. Li Ling bet against the three of them, and won a lot of money at the beginning, but later he was unlucky and slowly lost. At the end of the day, he actually lost more than 2,000 oceans. The sum of the three days is not enough to lose this time.

When everyone heard that Li Ling had lost so much gambling today, they all felt sorry for him. I know that everyone will eat tonight or go back to their respective homes. Qian Xuping said: "I will treat you today", and everyone was naturally happy. It was from here that the casino developed an unwritten rule that whoever wins the most money every day should eat at night. This custom slowly expanded to the point that this is true throughout Yangzhou's casinos. Even Li Ling didn't expect things to develop into this situation.

Li Ling made persistent efforts, and all the more than 10,000 silver tickets on his body were exchanged for chips. Come to the inner room to gamble. It's just bad luck, and he actually lost 10,000 oceans in one day. You must know that the salary of a unit of an army in the Republic of China is only 10,000 yuan in a month, and it is easy to lose in one day, which is also rare in the entire casino industry in Yangzhou, and Li Ling's name is spreading.

Li Ling's face did not change his face and he did not pant, pretending to be fine, and said, "Come back tomorrow." Then he went back and begged You Fei to borrow some money. You Fei was also generous, and handed him a check for 10,000 yuan directly.

The next day, Li Ling lost nearly 10,000 again, and had to smile bitterly: "Three big brothers, you should find another person to top this card, I am a poor family who lost." ”

The three of them laughed and said, "Come tomorrow, brothers, borrow you." ”

Losing 20,000 yuan in two days is already a unique big deal in Yangzhou casinos, and Li Ling's name is also resounding in various casinos in Yangzhou City, and many casinos have sent people to invite. Some of the gang members came to watch the battle.

On the third day, Li Ling was shy and could only leave empty-handed. And the three of them didn't mention borrowing money, but just urged him to play cards blindly. Today, Li Ling was very lucky, basically won the hand, and in less than half a day, he won all the money he lost in the past two days.

Li Ling couldn't help but wonder in his heart, even if his luck was against the sky, it would not be so smooth, and asked, "Did the three elder brothers deliberately lose to me?" The three of them looked at each other and smiled. The casino owner said: "You lose money and win, the three of us are indeed colluding." ”

Li Lingda was surprised, although he didn't have a deep relationship with the three of them, it could also be said that they were all upright, and Qian Xuping had nothing to do with the other two. Even if you collude to win your own money, you can pay it back, and in the end, how can you lose to yourself.

Lu Liansheng pushed the mahjong and said with a smile: "It takes three years to join Hongmen, and your time is relatively short. Casino look at personality, we are also ordered to inspect you, big losses and big wins can show your true face, your performance is beyond everyone's expectations, congratulations on passing the test. ”

Li Ling was dumbfounded, it turned out that the past two days were a test for himself, but it was a little unbelievable. I don't know which uncle used such a way on a whim. After a while, he smiled and said, "Since it's a test, the three brothers will lose more money to me." ”

The three of them laughed again when they heard this, and Lu Liansheng said: "That's all for today, I'll take the two of you to visit your confidant." ”

The confidant uncle, also known as the "criminal vice-president", is the leading general, the first in the outer eight halls, and the general-level figure who leads the entire Hongmen foreign war, and is powerful.

Li Ling and Qian Xuping were apprehensive and followed Lu Liansheng to a small remote temple in the south of the city. The temple is in ruins, but the outside is full of people, all of whom are the kind of elite and strong men. greeted Lu Liansheng one after another. Lu Liansheng entered the temple alone and asked the two to wait outside.

Some big men stared at the two of them with wary eyes, as if they were facing a great enemy. Qian Xuping was a little out of breath, and said in a low voice: "It stands to reason that we are about to get started, everyone shouldn't be so hostile to us, the situation is a little wrong." ”

Li Ling nodded, but he didn't know why. The crowd is not looking at themselves well, and it is obviously aimed at themselves. I secretly thought that I had just arrived, and I had never offended any characters along the way, not to mention that it didn't make sense to deliberately befriend Hongmen people in the past few days? Since I can't figure it out, I just wait quietly.

After a while, a middle-aged man in his forties came out of the temple, short and thin, with a cold appearance, and shouted to everyone on both sides: "Tie up Li Ling and throw it into the Huai River to plant lotuses." ”

Li Ling and Qian Xu looked at each other, and they actually suffered this catastrophe for no reason. The shirtless men on both sides heard the order, and without saying a word, they surrounded Li Ling.

Although Li Ling was puzzled, he couldn't help but be angry, and snorted coldly: "The family has a family law, and the gang has a gang rule, please explain what I have done, otherwise how can I convince people?" ”

The middle-aged man sneered and said, "I am the fifth law enforcement elder, and what I say is the gang rules, not to mention that you are a little empty and still talk about gang rules." Hurry up and get caught, or don't blame me for being unkind. ”

Li Ling was angry from his heart and shouted: "I envy Hongmen's righteousness, they are all bright and upright heroes. It turned out to be a bully, a villain, and a black and white character. If you don't enter the Hongmen, you will lose my identity if you are in company. ”

When the big men of Hongmen heard this, they were stunned for a moment, and then they were furious, and they greeted each other with fists and feet.

Others want their own lives, Li Ling is ruthless in his heart, a "Fuhu pile method" starts, and suddenly jumps, the person in front bears the brunt of being knocked down, and everyone behind is hindered by this. Li Ling pulled up Qian Xuping next to him and was about to flee, but he was chased after him without running two steps. Li Ling put on a posture and shouted to Qian Xuping: "I'll stop it, you go first." ”

Qian Xuping smiled bitterly, knowing that the people of Hongmen were coming towards Li Ling, and he was just implicated. But the people in the rivers and lakes are very righteous, although they want to solve problems for Li Ling, but they are just a pampered and powerless businessman, how can they escape under the peep of this fierce man.

Li Ling punched and kicked, and the big Hong fist, which had been encroached on for several years, made the tiger and tiger angry, and his footsteps wandered, both offensive and defensive, and several people were overturned to the ground in an instant.

The middle-aged man who enforced the law saw that he could not control the enemy, and when he gave an order, the besiegers all retreated, leaving a way. From the back of the crowd rushed five sturdy men in black with calm steps to join the battle group.

Li Ling suddenly felt a lot of pressure, knowing that these people had a deep kung fu foundation, and it was definitely not something he could deal with alone, so he was secretly anxious about how to get out.

"Stop." At this time, a loud shout came from the gate of the temple, and I saw Lu Liansheng walking out with an angry face, and said, "Stop it, the confidant uncle has invited Li Ling in." ”

When the men of Hongmen heard this, they stopped one after another. Li Ling was beaten for no reason, and he was not angry with Lu Liansheng, and said: "Brother Lian Sheng brought me here, is this the way of hospitality in Hongmen, even if the confidant uncle is gone, I just ask for an explanation." ”

Lu Liansheng's face showed shame, and he said: "If there is an accident, it is my brother's fault." Today, no matter how swords and fires are in the sea, even if I violate the gang rules, I am still ahead of Brother Ling. It's just that Brother Ling was wronged to explain one thing inside. ”

Li Ling was shocked in his heart, listening to his tone couldn't be good, not to mention that he had been deeply touched by reciting the Hongmen Gang Rules and Criminal Law in the past few days. Lu Liansheng was willing to offend the gang to help him, although he was moved, but he was even more curious about what he had committed and was treated like this.

Lu Liansheng glanced at Qian Xuping and said, "You go back to the casino first, this matter has nothing to do with you." ”

Qian Xuping nodded slightly, immediately turned around, and rushed to the casino to find You Fei and tell him about the situation. You Fei's always smiling expression disappeared, and he immediately rushed to the temple. Most of the gamblers in the casino are from Hongmen, and they are also familiar with Li Ling in the past few days, and when they heard that Li Ling was in trouble, they all rushed over. For a time, the casino was closed.

Li Ling entered this temple dedicated to the Lord of the Land, and saw a man in his fifties sitting in the middle of the hall, with a short figure, a red face, a high nose bridge, and a pair of slender eyes. It is the head of the eight halls outside Chunbao Mountain, the confidant uncle Yan Baoqi, the hall master.

There were several people standing next to him, and Li Ling was very angry. But the old man at the bottom was an acquaintance, and it was Shen Zhongkui, a wealthy businessman in Jinan City. At the beginning, Li Ling, He Jiatang, and Sun Yuzhu sneaked into Shen's house in the middle of the night, killing Shen Zhongkui's son Shen Tianfu and the housekeeper
