Chapter 777: Ming Weapon
The city of Qingdao, due to the construction of the Prussians as a military resort, the service facilities and the city's hardware foundation can be regarded as first-class by world standards. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoZhao Guanhou transformed on this basis and achieved twice the result with half the effort. After a few years, Qingdao has become a city with tourism and entertainment as the main body, and restaurants, teahouses, or hostels, bookstores, and even Qing buildings abound.
If Qingdao is compared to a crown, the club invested by Zhao Guanhou can be regarded as the most eye-catching jewel in the crown. Its hardware facilities and services are absolutely at the world's first-class level at the moment. The club built with reference to the high-end leisure clubs of later generations includes various entertainment means of eating, drinking and playing, which is a very fresh experience even for foreigners.
The female *** inside includes both Chinese, Albion, Tiele and even Fusang and Prussian women, and even prepared African blacks for those with unique tastes, known as the Eight-Nation Alliance by the locals. It is only here that these people of different nationalities can live in peace and not draw swords against each other.
If Xu Youzheng can come here for a turn, he will most likely jump to his feet and angrily scold Zhao Guanhou for being brazen and copying the design of his Anfu Club. But he also has to admit that the Anfu Club can only be regarded as a grass platform team compared to here. Those councillors and military officers who enjoy the voluntary hospitality, if they come here for a walk, I am afraid that more than half of them will choose to join the Shandong side.
For the Tessie countries, which had just ended the war, there was indeed a need for enough entertainment to relax their minds and numb their nerves. The club, called Paramount, has just opened and is full of people.
Merchants come here to have fun, make friends with officials, and clear the way. Some of the Taixi underworld characters came here to learn from the experience, and prepared to copy it as it was after returning home. The soldiers with guns at the head of the door also provided security for these guests, and since there were troops watching the field, it proved that this was a place for the official camp. No matter how you play here, as long as you don't break the rules, you don't have to worry about someone getting caught.
Foreign girls and foreign games make rich people linger. Here you can not only find foreigners with high noses and deep eyes, bursts of people wearing gold and silver, but also scholars and celebrities wearing long shirts and glasses, as well as old and young people wearing long robes and horse coats, and long braids, and even some celebrities and ladies come here to gamble a few hands and try their luck, or drink a few glasses of foreign wine, and find men to accompany them.
The guy greeted the visitor warmly, and the tall and burly Tiele bodyguard reminded the guests to pay attention to the scale and not to try to challenge the rules here and cause trouble for themselves.
The VIP room on the fourth floor is a place to play poker and sand crabs, with a minimum of 20 yuan per card, and ordinary people can't afford to play at all. At the top of the stairs stood bodyguards, blocking the entry of unrelated people. The hustle and bustle downstairs is blocked by the doors and walls, and the room is tense. Three men with strong bodies and fierce eyes stared at the little girl who was as beautiful as a doll on the other side.
This exotic girl in a princess dress, with a pair of innocent and innocent eyes, is enough to make people feel pity at first sight, and think that this is a cute girl who is harmless to individuals. Looking at the man opposite, it is obvious that it is a scene of a villain bullying an ignorant girl.
But in fact, it was this innocent-looking girl who emptied the pockets of three men on the gambling table, and the playing cards seemed to be enchanted by her, and every game ended in her victory. She was still clumsily holding her cards, as if she didn't understand anything, but the chips in front of her were almost blocking her face.
In front of the three men, there were no more chips, only twenty-four round and clear beads, which shimmered softly in the light. The man in the middle, his eyes were bloodshot, staring at the girl in front of him, "Little girl!" When will your adults come out? Today, if you don't gamble with us on the last hand, you don't want to leave! ā
The girl speaks Chinese fluently, and she hardly hears many exotic accents. His voice was soft and glutinous, his expression was very frightened, and he pleaded in a begging tone: "I...... Can I stop betting? I don't really know...... My dad wouldn't let me gamble with anyone. ā
"Then give us back the chips, and we'll let you go!" A big man slapped the table, his expression was very vicious. One woman coughed
"Three, please pay attention to your own words and deeds, Paramount is a place with rules, even if it is a three-year-old child, as long as he is in the club, he is protected by the Shandong military. You don't want me to call the outside bodyguards in, do you? ā
The woman who spoke sat in the middle of this gambling table, thirty miles old, beautiful and amorous, like a glass of wine, exuding boundless fragrance.
Leaning forward slightly, the waist is tightened, making the towering mountains particularly eye-catching, and this sitting posture is even more eye-catching. Holding a slender jade cigarette holder in his hand, a lady's cigarette is inserted into the mouthpiece, and with the sandalwood mouth slightly opened, he elegantly spits out smoke rings. The cheongsam has a large slit and exposes a overlapping place, and the long legs as white as ivory, coupled with the black high-root leather shoes, are enough to make a man's blood run and his heart beat faster.
But right now, the minds of the three men are on the gambling table, and they have no intention of appreciating such beautiful scenery, and they also know that this woman named Yang Cuiyu is not something they can afford to provoke. She is not only one of the general managers of this club, but also the secretary general of the Shandong Overseer Office, and the wife of the Shandong Overseer and Liangjiang Patrol. There are eight strong female soldiers behind him, all armed with double guns, and there are more than a dozen strong and fierce Tiele bodyguards standing in the room.
The man at the head coughed twice, "Yang...... Mrs. Young. Let's also do it according to the rules, the rules in the field, regardless of the size of the gambling table. This little girl has won so much, she can't just say no playing, clap her hands and leave. ā
Yang Cuiyu snorted: "Then you also need to have chips." With twenty-four glass balls, I want to exchange so many chips in front of others, and there is no such rule in my field. ā
"Glass balls? How can this be a glass ball? You are a person who knows the goods, just look at the pair of ear pliers on your ears, which are valuable objects, how can you say that this is a glass ball? That's ...... But it's very promising. The man swallowed back half of his words, pointed to the beads, and said, "If you don't know the goods, I'll take the beads to the pawnshop or the small one, and you will definitely know the goods." But you have to watch this girl, you can't let her run away! ā
"Don't be that troublesome." Jade spat out another smoke ring
"The one who knows the goods will speak, you wait. To play in my arena, you have to be patient first, and I can't afford to be quick-tempered. You can have a snack and drink coffee and wait a while. ā
The three gamblers, apparently not interested in the delicately made foreign dim sum, only looked nervously at their watches, and then looked out the door, stealing their breasts and legs. After more than twenty minutes, the door slammed open, and the man's voice came from behind the three gamblers. "Oh? What is it that is so valuable that I have to come and see it? ā
The three of them looked back and saw a handsome man carrying a tall and plump exotic beauty walking in from the outside. Among the three, the man in the lead rubbed his eyes and exclaimed, "Crown...... Crown? How are you? Your old man is not in Jinan? ā
Zhao Guanhou looked at the man, "Do you know me?" ā
"The little one is in...... Newspaper...... Your photo has been seen in the newspapers. The leader laughed dryly, wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, and motioned to the two companions, bringing the beads on the table into his arms. Guanshuai, our brothers are a little anxious, this time we admit that we are unlucky, we will not play. Let's go, beads, we don't sell anymore. ā
"Not for sale?" Zhao Guanhou snorted coldly, "When you come to my field, if you don't sell it, you won't sell it?" What do you think of me? Come back from afar, you say you don't sell it, you can forget it? Could it be that Ben Shuai can't afford to pay the price? Put it down! ā
The Tiele bodyguards on both sides had already surrounded the three of them, several bodyguards had already pulled out the iron ruler in their waists, and a man slammed the beads in his hand into the sky, and then lowered his head and rushed towards Zhao Guanhou's side. The movements are clean and neat, and its momentum is like that of a mad cow.
He rushed forward only to the front of the door, and then slammed it out of the door, and by the time his head hit the floor, there was no movement. Behind him, a shiny dagger pierced the back of the heart, reaching the handle. Another dagger had also been pierced into the temple of another gambler.
It was not Zhao Guanhou who did all this, nor those strong Tiele bodyguards, but the Tiele girl who was still betting against the three of them, looking like a soft and cute Raleigh. With a flattering smile on her face, she waited for the master's compliment, and the revolver in her hand pointed at the head of the leading gambler, "You'd better not run around, if I kill you, the master will have no prisoners." Raise your hand and don't move, or I'll make sure your head will crumble into a watermelon. ā
The two soldiers in the army were killed so easily, which frightened the gamblers at the head, their knees weakened, and they involuntarily knelt on the ground "Guanshuai...... You raise your noble hand, and the little one doesn't know what offends you, but you don't have the same general insight as the little one. We don't want these beads, just honor the crown and handsome. ā
"Don't you want the beads? Isn't that good? ā
Two strong Tiele bodyguards held down the man, immobilizing him. Zhao Guanhou picked up a bead, observed it repeatedly in his hand, and raised it again to refract it at the light. Anna, who had just solved the two of them, came over excitedly to take a look, and was immediately chiseled on her forehead by Zhao Guanhou.
"After today's homework is done, come out to gamble and kill! If you can't see it at a glance, you will be naughty to me. However, those two daggers just now were good, and when you grow up a little more, maybe Master won't be able to beat you. ā
"Great, then I can protect Master." Anna smiled proudly, "In the future, Master will hide behind me, and leave the fight to me." As soon as the words fell, he received another blow on the head.
"You're not old enough right now, so it's better to be beaten. Isn't it great to learn how to gamble? Why did you go to the table? ā
"Because they're so suspicious. Although he looked rich, he did not look like a serious businessman, and he was clearly trained in military affairs, either a bandit or a deserter. I think we should teach them a lesson, and by the way, get to the bottom of it. Master, am I great? ā
The little girl looked at Zhao Guanhou with a flattering expression, and almost said that I was so good, and she didn't want to praise me. Zhao Guanhou patted her on the head, "It's really good, I thought your rebellious period was coming, and you started to deliberately go against your parents." ā
Cuiyu interrupted the communication between the master and apprentice, "Guanhou, my opinion is probably similar to yours, this matter should be notified to Shigege, and she should be asked to come and inspect it on the spot." This thing...... I look familiar. ā
"You go and send a telegram to Gege, I'll take him to the basement, and I'll take care of the rest! Hannah, you go to accompany Adam first, the rest of the process will be more cruel, and you are not suitable to be a bystander. ā
Anna's beautiful big eyes flashed with excitement, and she grabbed Zhao Guanhou's arm, "Cruel...... I'm going, I'm going. Torture or something, I like it the most. Let me do it, guarantee the fastest time, ask for everything. ā
In a place like a club, there will be no shortage of troublemakers, defaults, and even fraudulent gambling to make thousands, and it is common to be jealous for a girl. From the time the basement was built, it was used as a torture chamber, and the walls were covered with torture instruments, and a dozen soldering irons were placed in the blazing brazier.
The dim light flickered incessantly, and it seemed that the voltage was not stable, but it added to the eerie feeling. Hannah finally followed, watching Anna excitedly choose the torture tools, and couldn't help but increase the amount with her hand
"Honey, you have turned angels into devils."
"You can't say that, I think she's pretty happy right now, isn't she?"
"What's going on with those jewels? Fake? Even if it's fake jewelry, we have nothing to lose and shouldn't do that to them. ā
"If it's fake jewelry, of course I wouldn't do that to them, but it's like, it's real jewelry. Every bead is real, but those beads, if I'm not mistaken, belong to the Empress Dowager Xiaoqinxian, the former Empress Dowager Jin Cixi. What's more, these jewels, when she was buried, should have been buried together in the mausoleum. ā
Zhao Guanhou's face, under the flickering lights, was particularly gloomy, "The Empress Dowager Xiaoqin has treated me with kindness, and I can have today, which is inseparable from the promotion of Lafayette." When she was buried, I was still a minister of former Kim. With the burial goods, I can see very clearly, this bead is buried with a chain, twenty-four walking beads, should be twenty-four solar terms. Although it's not the best thing, it shouldn't fall into the hands of a few of them. And, judging from their generosity in making money, it is estimated that they once had something else in their hands. ā
"You mean...... Are they tomb robbers? Hannah, who was born in a monarchy and was not hostile to the imperial power, gritted her teeth when she heard this: "Shameful tomb robbers, disturbing the peace of the dead, stealing property, should be punished." ā
"I single-handedly promoted the preferential treatment of the clan regulations, and I am also the guarantor. There is one of them, which is to protect the mausoleum of the former Jin ancestors. Grave robbers must be brought to justice. I need to figure out now, how many grave robbers there are, how many of these boys, and how many accomplices? The big tomb is not something that two or three people can move, and I suspect that these people are just small minions, and the big fish have not yet come out of the water. So, you have to ask slowly, girl, let's do it! ā
In the basement, in the smell of burnt paste, the screams of men and the giggling of Anna sounded.
