I don't know when, Na Yancheng and the three of them scattered, each standing in front of a gambling table, followed by a large group of people, very distinctive. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Most of the people around Na Yancheng and Zhao Shanqing are officials of the yamen, or people who want to be officials, and they are looking for an errand. Behind Yiergetu, there are many merchants, among which the merchants of the Thirteen Lines in Guangzhou are the most.

The luck of the three of them is not bad, there are wins and losses, but they lose more and win less, they have a lot of fun, they are very happy, but they are bitter to follow the people, all to express the meaning of the stammer, they are all spending a lot of money, and they don't blink their eyes.

Because, whenever three people drop a bet, most of them are only a few dozen taels, and it is rare to have more than a hundred taels. Therefore, after more than half an hour passed, Na Yancheng and the three of them still had a lot of bets, and they lost a few hundred taels. And those who greet and pat on the back have lost at least nearly 10,000 taels of silver, and there are as many as tens of thousands.

All of a sudden, most of the dignitaries and dignitaries who followed the three of them were already shy in their pockets, and they didn't have many chips in their hands, so they couldn't play for long.

Yang Lin in the distance, located at the edge of the crowd, although his face was calm, his heart was happy and happy. Because tonight's casino is definitely making a lot of money, the consumption driven by the three adults is very considerable, far higher than the benefits given to them. I can't help but secretly think that I will organize more such activities in the future.

It seems that the three of them have some kind of tacit understanding, and they all know that the people around them want to tie up with themselves, in order to respond to Paramount's kindness and give themselves benefits, then Yancheng and the others will play for so long, and they are still happy to let Paramount earn some money.

Even so, when he made a lot of money and was secretly proud, he seemed to think of something, the corners of Yang Lin's mouth raised slightly, showing evil intentions, and his face was black, and he was about to harm others.

At the same time, Li Lianying appeared again, walking towards Na Yancheng and the others one by one, her face was full of sycophancy, flattery, and flattery.

"My lord, I think you should be tired of playing, please go inside, you can sit and play in the special area inside, you can also drink tea and eat desserts, while playing cards and mahjong, both are correct. Moreover, the environment inside is very comfortable, much brighter, not so crowded and noisy here, much quieter. ”

When everyone didn't understand what Li Lianying was doing like this, when Governor Zhao Shanqing was the last to enter the isolation area, Li Lianying followed closely behind, but did not make any response, explaining what and why he did it.

Seeing this situation, those dignitaries were about to go inside, but they were stopped by the shopkeeper, his expression was neither humble nor arrogant, and he slowly said: "Ladies and gentlemen, this area can only be entered by our Paramount members, ordinary people stop here, please don't approach again." ”

It seems that with experience, they suffered a "cheat", and were cheated once, but these people were not so excited, and immediately went to apply for membership, but they were much more rational, and they all stood there and waited. Therefore, most of the people who stood at the front and near the door were members, and they were also a little hesitant.

Seeing this situation, the shopkeeper was puzzled, and wondered why these brass, platinum, gold, and blue jade members didn't go in? Anyway, I've already spent so many silver taels to become a member of Paramount, and the refreshments in it don't cost money, so why don't you go in?

At this time, the shopkeeper remembered Qu Kun's explanation, although he was puzzled, he saw that the things in front of him had met the conditions of the explanation, so he took two steps forward and spoke quietly and respectfully.

"Distinguished members of Paramount, all the refreshments in it are free, and you can sit or lie down to rest, you must be tired."

Paramount has just opened, these people are not familiar with the rules here, and they have been pitted, at this time, when they hear this, there is no need to pay any silver taels, and there are some resting places, you can eat and drink for free, for them who are pampered, they are indeed a little tired after standing for more than an hour, and they can't help but feel a little moved.

Subsequently, the shopkeeper's next words completely broke the last line of defense of these people without the slightest hesitation.

"Distinguished members, while the three adults are resting in it, they will also play some entertainment projects, such as cards, mahjong ......, I think you already know that these gambling games are played by four people, if you want to contact them, now is a great opportunity~!"

All the people present were human spirits, and none of them were fools, and they all understood the meaning of the words. After more than an hour of playing, these people already know how to play cards. What's more, there was already mahjong during the Qing Dynasty, and there were many veterans among them, who knew the Tao and were very easy to get closer to the relationship between people.

Immediately, it was only a moment's effort, and all the members had already entered, all of them were excited, impatient, and suddenly felt that the members were worth it, and their hearts were resentful.

The person who was stopped in front of the door regretted it, and secretly sighed that he should not have saved so little money and missed such a good opportunity. At this time, the shopkeeper's words made these people go crazy, and all their actions trotted out, exuding fierce competition.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there are still a few membership places tonight, if you miss it, you have to wait until tomorrow. There is a situation tonight, and the three adults are here together, but it is not every day. ”

After the crowd dispersed, there was a temporary blank at the door, and the shopkeeper muttered to himself, and he no longer cared about the situation here, and then entered the members' area, a private gambling area for members.

"The young master is really wise and prescient, and he has long expected this situation."

I don't know when, the casino on the first floor of the basement is still full of people, shouting and shouting, one after another, everyone is excited, looking at the color of the table intently, praying that they can win.

In the members' area of the casino, Governor Na Yancheng, Governor Zhao Shanqing, and Supervisor Yiergetu were distributed in front of three gaming tables, sitting there, and on the two sides of the square table were either officials or wealthy businessmen, although their expressions were focused, they could not hide their excitement.

Time passed minute by minute, and the people who accompanied Na Yancheng to play cards and mahjong changed batch after batch, and the chips on the table of the three of them had been piled up into a small mountain, and the most conservative estimate was that there were also one million taels.

It seems that he is a little outstanding, deliberately alienating others, and acting very low-key, Yang Lin sat in a corner, Yang Xiao put his hands behind his back, stood on one side, and asked suspiciously: "Young master, what is this Li Lianying paying attention to?" I saw that these officials and wealthy businessmen lost money, the three adults won money, and Paramount did not make the slightest profit. ”

As the actual owner of Paramount, Yang Lin certainly knows the reason for doing this, the unspoken rules contained in it, a win-win situation, gaining the favor of all parties, giving favors to others at the same time, and making money.

looked around, and saw that no one was paying attention to him here, Yang Lin still maintained an indifferent look, and answered in a low voice without looking back, with the intention of carrying out, pointing out the unspoken rules, so that Yang Xiao could understand the intention inside.

"Yang Xiao, you see, these members, whether they are low-level brass members or the highest-level blue jade members, most of their money today has been processed for this membership. And more than half of the rest and the overdrawn silver taels were spent on the outside tables. ”

Therefore, the moment they walked into this room, most of them had nothing but three adults. Therefore, these people had to borrow money from Paramount, although the interest was favorable, but it was also a considerable amount. ”

Hearing this, even if he nodded frequently and understood the unspoken rules, Yang Xiao still wanted to refute something, expressing that those people could not borrow money, but he was blocked by Yang Lin's next words, and he was speechless.

"Yang Xiao, the reason why these people came to Paramount tonight is just to see the face of the three adults, and they want to curry favor with them, so as to bribe and handle some things. Since it is a bribe, it has to require a large amount of money and silver, which is sent through this game. Even if the imperial court investigates it in the future, it will not find anything, and the three adults can be said to have won it themselves, not to take bribes. ”

At this moment, Yang Xiao really understood what the unspoken rules of his young master were referring to, not what he had just thought. (To be continued.) )
