The carriage did not go back to the house, but went around and came to the vicinity of Beishi, which is one of the three prosperous places in Weiyang County, and is the main distribution center for overseas goods, with thousands of shops, and the carriages carrying goods come and go, and the flow of people is like a tide, and it is the morning when it is the most lively moment.

The entrance of the north market is an open square, the square is full of all kinds of artists, playing monkeys, selling strong pills, selling dog skin plasters, dancing guns and sticks, etc., quite lively, around the square is a circle of all kinds of shops, mainly to hotels and green buildings, there are tens of thousands of businessmen living in this area, from all directions, most of them are single to do business in Weiyang, appetite, sound and entertainment, their consumption makes the business here extraordinarily prosperous.

Wu Jin came here with a clear goal, he looked around, and found his target on the right side of the square, a gambling house.

He walked up, the gambling hall is divided into three floors, vermilion columns, golden tiles, carved beams and painted columns, arranged brilliantly, there are two granite pixiu standing at the door one left and one right, the face is hideous, under the eaves of the second floor hangs three wooden dice with black dots on a white background, which is particularly eye-catching, the gold plaque is hung above the main entrance, the shop name is 'Huang Ji Miaoshou Gambling House'.

On both sides, there are two long rosewood couplets, engraved with a cursive couplet:

Shanglian is: open your eyes and look at the card, change the mistake, go right, eat and drink all your life without worry.

The next link is: blindfolded bet on Zhuang Xian, lose small, win big, and gamble all over the world is not afraid.

Wu Jin smiled and walked into the lobby of the gambling hall, the hall was crowded with people, and there were more than 30 gambling tables in the lobby on the first floor, each of which was full of people, all of them with blood-red eyes, and shouted: "Big, big, big!" ”

Wu Jin's eyes swept around, and he saw the business post of the gambling house on the right wall, which was equivalent to the business license of later generations, issued by the government, and was used as the basis for taxation, which was generally a fixed tax, that is, no matter how much money you earned, you only pay the same amount of tax, a county tax, a county tax, and the county tax is very small, mainly the county tax, and the county tax is finally handed over to the imperial court.

Of course, not all businesses have to pay taxes, such as the artists in the square, they don't have to pay taxes, there is a standard, that is, the store is more than one zhang in a radius, in today's words, it must first be a façade, and the size of the façade is more than four squares.

Those who do not meet this standard do not need to pay taxes, and naturally they do not need to do any business.

Wu Jin stepped forward and took a closer look at the business post, there was the name of the proprietor on it, Huang Shilang, he remembered the head of the Huang family who looked like a weasel, and couldn't help laughing, Steward Liu was right, this gambling house is really the property of the Huang family, and it is said that the shopkeeper is Huang Shilang's second son Huang Feng.

At this time, a guy greeted him, smiled and said, "It's the first time the guest officer has come!" ”

His eyes are very poisonous, from Wujin's demeanor and demeanor, he can see that he is the first time to come to the gambling house, such a person has to guide him slowly, give him some sweetness first, don't worry about him not coming next time, the guy is also very enthusiastic.

"Guest officer, the first floor is a small bet of the public, try your luck, mainly to throw dice, convenient and fast, at least five hundred Wen, no cap, if you have plenty of money, you can go to the second floor, there is a good tea and fine hospitality, mainly play the play of five woods, but every time you bet, can not be less than ten taels of silver, and the third floor is the guest hall, accompanied by a name, silk and bamboo elegant, you can play how you like, but each note can not be less than one hundred taels of silver, guest officer, you see ....."

The guy saw that although Wu Jin was wearing a brocade robe, his skin was dark and his hands were covered with calluses, and at a glance he knew that he was not a pampered young master, so he pouted secretly, there was no need to introduce the second and third floors to this person.

"Are you shopkeepers here?" Wu Jin smiled slightly.

The guy was stunned, "Do you know my shopkeeper?" ”

"Huh! We drank together last year, but I don't know if he remembers me. ”

The guy's mind turned, their shopkeeper likes to drink flower wine the most, this won't be the shopkeeper's friend!

"Guest officer, why don't I go and ask the shopkeeper to come?"

"Good! That's trouble. ”

The guy just walked a few steps, and suddenly turned back and laughed: "May I ask the guest officer's surname?" ”

"My surname is Huangfu."

The man was in awe, the surname of the country! It won't be the son of the East China Sea Huangfu clan! He was so unseemly that he ran upstairs in a panic.

After a while, the guy brought a young son, Wu Jin asked Steward Liu about this person before he came, saying that this person was short-tempered, narrow-minded, notorious, nicknamed Wasp, not a good thing, he sat in the gambling hall, unscrupulous means to cheat gambling, I don't know how many people have been ruined.

Wu Jin saw that he was sturdy, with a horizontal face, a striking diamond-shaped scar on his forehead, and his eyes were full of deceit, if he didn't know, he would think he was a thug in a gambling house.

The young shopkeeper looked arrogant, he looked Wu Jin up and down and asked, "Who are you from the Huangfu family?" Have I seen you? ”

"Huh! Brother Huang is so forgetful! Last year in Qixianglou, didn't you, me, and Zhuoyu enjoy the wine together? How did you forget. ”

"Oh!"

Wasp smiled, he and Huangfu Zhuoyu were indeed friends, so he suddenly realized, and scratched the back of his head with a smile, "There have been too many things recently, my mind is dizzy, and I can't remember it a little, I'm sorry!" I'm sorry! I don't know what Brother Ren's honorific name is..."

"Weiming!"

The wasp glanced at it and saw that he was wearing a hollow sapphire ring on his ring finger, which was the unique logo of the Huangfu family, and he had heard Zhuoyu say that only one person in the entire East China Sea Huangfu clan was a sapphire ring, and the rest were ruby rings, for unknown reasons.

It seems that this person is Huangfu Weiming, and he hurriedly surrendered his hand, "Ah! It turned out to be a tribute scholar, and he looked up for a long time! ”

Huangfu Weiming has never gambled, nor will he deal with this kind of person, the wasp has never seen it, and he can't remember when he drank flower wine with this tribute warrior, but it doesn't matter, he heard his father last night that this Huangfu Weiming is likely to replace Zhuo Yu to run for the election of Huangfu Cao, and his eldest brother Huang Jun is in the same group A.

Wasp's eyes rolled, this is a good opportunity to touch the bottom of this tribute, just now I heard the guy say, he seems to be the first time to come to the gambling house, this is the best.

Wasp hurriedly grabbed his arm enthusiastically and pointed upstairs, "Brother Weiming, please follow me up to the third floor." ”

Wu Jin smiled, "But I don't have a hundred taels of silver on me." ”

"Might as well be! Might as well! You don't have to gamble on the third floor, we can drink tea and catch up. ”

"Good! Then it is better to be respectful than to obey fate. ”

Wu Jin happily followed him up to the third floor, the third floor is more magnificently arranged, there are three elegant rooms, the elegant room is paved with gold and jade, the fragrance is fragrant, the tables and chairs are all red sandalwood, gold cups and silver pots, a high-quality white jade screen, it is actually carved with a whole piece of white jade, there are pictures of ladies entering the palace painted on it, and there are several so-called celebrity calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall.

But what is even more attractive is the two beautiful women, both dressed in colorful brocade dresses, their black hair is decorated with pearls, shining, their figures are graceful, their eyebrows are springy, and their manners are graceful, which makes people miss them.

Wu Jin followed the wasp into the house with his hands behind his back, but he pretended to look up and admire the calligraphy and paintings on the wall, disdainful of the two beauties.

Wasp had already remembered that he had never drunk flower wine with this tribute warrior at all, it was just an excuse for this man to want to see him, and it didn't matter, he set his head, and he gave a woman in a yellow dress a look.

The woman in the yellow dress understood, and Shi Shiran walked behind Wu Jin and said coquettishly, "Childe, how are these calligraphy and paintings?" ”

Wu Jin shook his head, "A little owe the wind bones!" ”

"Hmmm! Childe has a very unique vision! ”

The woman in the yellow dress stretched out her white lotus-like jade arm to hold Wu Jin's arm, and threw him a flattering look, "Son, please take a seat, let the concubine serve you to drink." ”

"Good! Beauty wine, my favorite. ”

Wu Jin smiled, hugged the beauty's fragrant shoulders, hugged her to the seat, squinted and asked her, "Girl's name?" ”

The beauty straightened her chest and pursed her lips and smiled, "My name is Baixiang, you smell a hundred fragrances on my body?" ”

Wu Jin put his arm around her waist, sniffed deeply on her chest, and praised repeatedly, "Sure enough, the body fragrance is wonderful and intoxicating." ”

Wasp secretly despises, when he entered the door just now, he was still serious, his eyes did not squint, and in a blink of an eye, he embraced the beauty in his arms, and his complexion was revealed, and it was really hypocritical, this person was lustful.

He secretly remembered, and hurriedly smiled: "Baixiang, don't you want to toast the emperor's son?" ”

Baixiang stretched out his thin fingers like jade onions, picked up the silver wine jug and poured a glass of wine into his golden cup, picked up the cup and said, "Childe, I toast you." ”

"You drink half a glass first, I'll drink another half a glass, how about we have a glass of wine?"

"Childe is so bad!"

Baixiang stretched out his jade hand and slapped Wu Jin, drank half a cup of amorous feelings, and handed it to him in a coquettish voice: "Childe, it's your turn." ”

Wu Jin took the cup and drank it all, laughing, "Good wine, passion wine!" ”

Everyone in the room laughed together, and Baixiang fell into his arms, stretched out his hand and quietly scratched his chest a few times, looking at him with a pair of wonderful eyes.

Wu Jin didn't seem to see it, he looked at the room, and asked Huang Feng with a smile, "Brother Huang, does this gambling industry need special approval from the government?" ”

"What, does Wei Ming also want to open a gambling house?"

"No, I'm curious, I don't have the capital."

"The government does not prohibit gambling and prostitution, only prohibits the sects of the rivers and lakes, especially the sects that practice martial arts, and the chivalrous use of martial arts to violate the ban, but then again, although the government does not prohibit gambling, but if you want to open a gambling house, you need a lot of capital, and you must have a backstage, otherwise people will lose money and come to you for trouble, how can you do without a backstage?"

"This is also true, I heard that Weiyang's gambling industry is in the hands of the Huang family, and the six major families of Weiyang, the Huang family is the first in terms of financial resources, and the Huangfu family can only rank third."

"Where! Where! ”

Wasp smiled, "Our Huang family only controls a few big casinos, how dare we monopolize the Weiyang gambling industry, everyone can make money!" ”

The wasp carefully observed Wu Jin, and saw that he hugged the passion waist, and poured himself three glasses of wine, and his eyes narrowed when he drank, and he couldn't help but think secretly: "This person is lustful and good at drinking, and has weaknesses!" ”

At this moment, a guy rushed up to report: "Shopkeeper, there are a few people gambling in the square!" ”

"Bang!" With a bang, Wasp slammed the wine glass on the table and scolded, "Damn, dare to bet under Lao Tzu's nose, go!" Smashed him. ”

He rushed out a few steps, and suddenly remembered that there were still guests, so he hurriedly laughed dryly: "Brother Weiming, even if you drink, if the hundred spices are eye-catching, you can take them back, and they will be recorded in my account." ”

"Okay, I'm welcome, I'll invite Brother Huang instead."

The wasp led people down in a hurry, and another woman also walked away, Wu Jin walked to the window with a wine glass, and from here you can clearly see the situation in the square, only to see three men set up a gambling bowl in a corner of the square, and in a moment, the wasp brought more than a dozen thugs to rush up, and the three men were beaten to the head, and the stall was also smashed, and the wasp pointed at the three men and scolded, and he couldn't hear what he was scolding.

Wu Jin heard Steward Liu say that the Huang family monopolized Weiyang's gambling industry and never allowed others to take a piece of the pie, it seemed that it was true, even the three stalls could not be tolerated, and Steward Liu also said that the wasps had an extremely impulsive problem, and they were the first to rush up when they beat people, and it seemed the same today, he couldn't help but smile coldly, 'Very good! ’

Baixiang quietly walked behind him, took his hand, and fell softly into his arms, staring at him with a pair of wonderful eyes, "Childe, let's go into the back room!" ”

Wu Jin turned around and saw that her eyes were full of spring water, full of teasing, he drank all the wine in the cup, and patted her face with a smile, "The favor of the wasp boy is not so easy to owe." ”

He casually stuffed the gold cup in his hand into the plump cleavage of the passion, turned around and walked away.
