Chapter 104: Paramount (I)
Tianjin Paramount is located in the red light district of the concession, is a collection of casinos, dance halls and so on as one of the nightclubs, although Tianjin is not as good as Shanghai and Guangzhou two gradually rising international metropolises, but Tianjin Port also has a large foreign population, Paramount in the dancers, singers have said, Korean beauties, there are white Russian, British, French beautiful girls.
The behind-the-scenes boss of Paramount is the flower of the Tianjin Concession, everyone calls her Sister Longba, but no one knows how this name came from, but the characters in the rivers and lakes all know that she is a big man who can't be provoked, and there are many people who covet her beauty, but this rose has a stinger, and it is not worth stabbing people to death.
At this time, in a splendid lounge on the second floor of Paramount Gate, I don't know how many people coveted Sister Long Bajie was licking her face and holding her in her arms, wearing a cute and surname-like tight red dress and red pants, and a pair of cool crescent-shaped ponytails on her head, just like Ye Zhao's Chunli style, playful, healthy and beautiful, and a pair of amber eyes couldn't help but be intoxicated.
At this time, she was rolling her eyes, turning her head to ignore Ye Zhao, and Hua Ji obediently sat beside Ye Zhao, which made her a little uncomfortable.
Needless to say, Sister Long Ba is none other than Gu Lixiayir, the most disobedient barbarian girl among Ye Zhao's wives.
But Gul Shayir is also a very sensitive woman, when she saw a hint of deep thought in Ye Zhao's eyes, Gul Shayir asked softly: "[***] Monks can't turn the sky." ”
Ye Zhao nodded slightly and said, "Hopefully." "An urgent message has been sent from the Chengdu Military Region to Lhasa, and the telegram has also arrived in Laining City at the same time, and the Tibetan Provincial Military Region and the Western Regions Military Region will enter a state of second-level alert.
Gulshayl suddenly rolled her eyes and said, "Or for the sake of the American doctor, right?" ”
Christina's ship won't arrive until tomorrow.
Ye Zhao shook his head, and at this time, the phone rang on the ancient coffee table, and Ye Zhao let Gu Li Xia Yier go.
"I'll go out." After Gulishayir answered the phone and said a few words, his face was a little angry, and Ye Zhao smiled: "Do you want me to take a knife to cut people?" Gulshayl was finally amused, after all, this is the emperor's husband. But when Ye Zhao said the next sentence, her face immediately darkened, and what Ye Zhao said was: "I'll go play for a while, arrange a gambling game, get two good hands, and then arrange a dealer to show me and Hua Ji." ”
However, Gul Shayer's black face is blackface, and he still pinched his nose and arranged it properly for Ye Zhao, in the chrysanthemum hall, the opponents arranged for Ye Zhao and Hua Ji are not ambiguous, frequent visitors to the casino, and the identity background is said to be quite complicated, one is a thin old man, wearing a horse coat, called Liu Sanye; A big man with a scarred face, bald head, everyone calls him Brother Zhao, I heard that he is the owner of two tobacco houses, and now the empire is completely prohibited from smoking, only some smoke houses still exist in the concession area, but the censorship is extremely strict, and those who can win the tobacco and soil cards are not simple characters.
Hua Ji could only sit on the table under the compulsion of Ye Zhao, the four of them bet on "Zha Jinhua", seeing Hua Ji's cowardly and pure and sweet appearance, Liu Sanye did not squeak, but the bald head Zhao Sige looked at Hua Ji with a pair of bull's eyes, no matter how she looked, she didn't feel like a pig eating a tiger, but seeing that Hua Ji was dressed brightly and tightly, such a fat sheep was estimated to be sent to the door to be slaughtered, isn't this pie in the sky?
The hall is resplendent with bartenders, refreshment chefs, and four waitresses in black pants and white shirts tied with bows to serve four gambling VIPs one-on-one.
Two dealers wearing red cheongsams with surnames sat next to Ye Zhao and Hua Ji respectively, smiling and diligently giving advice to Ye Zhao and Hua Ji.
Seeing this situation, Brother Zhao is even more determined, in the casino, to have money and face to ask the dealer to help look at the cards, but usually this kind of people do not know anything about gambling, although the dealer is a gambler, but compared to the real casino good hand is still worse.
In fact, where did Ye Zhao come to gamble, it was nothing more than relaxing and relaxing, reducing pressure, and at the same time, observing the living conditions of these underground characters.
Violent gangs or triads are the inevitable product of the imperfect society under the rule of law under the private economy, and in the current environment, it is impossible to eradicate and completely ban them, but the underground is underground, and in the laws of the empire, armed associations are not allowed to exist.
Sitting in the VIP room gambling money can be said to be a big gamble, ten yuan is a silver dollar as the bottom, the lowest bid is three silver dollars, usually a game of win or loss is also one or twenty silver dollars, if three or four cards are very good, hundreds of silver dollars are won or lost.
Ye Zhao set himself the goal of not losing five thousand silver dollars, with a goal, the money is money, it is more interesting to play, thrilling, otherwise, how to relax?
Hua Ji is very afraid of losing money to Ye Zhao, every time will not follow the cards, a game down, only lose a silver dollar, to twenty or thirty years later, partial birth to a big card, in the dealer for her to see the cards under the strong request of the dealer to throw out fifty silver dollars and said not to look at the cards, the little face flushed, nervously looked at Liu Sanye and Zhao Siye.
Liu Sanye and Zhao Siye cards are good, both of them spoke before Hua Ji, originally each threw out twenty silver dollars, seeing Hua Ji followed, the two looked at each other, and pushed the cards into the table, no one will follow, pondering that Hua Ji is only afraid of being a leopard.
In this way, Hanahime won the money instead.
Seeing the excitement and joy in Hua Ji's clear big eyes, Ye Zhao smiled, he was supposed to bring her to relax.
The female dealer who helped Ye Zhao look at the cards was called Qiu Ju, and the pink legs and jade arms did not rub against Ye Zhao, but after touching her ears for a while and rubbing her nose for a while, goodbye Liu Sanye on the other side often glanced at her inadvertently, Ye Zhao smiled secretly in his heart, how could this primitive cheating method be hidden from Ye Zhao.
However, Ye Zhao's ability to observe people's expressions and figure out people's hearts is not comparable to recklessness? Although Qiu Ju was on the side to report the news, he was still able to maintain a non-loss and non-win, but the bald man Zhao Sige became a fat sheep, and after more than an hour, he lost a small 1,000 silver dollars.
Playing cards, Ye Zhao also chatted with Qiu Ju, this gorgeous dealer is married, her son broke his brain when he was a child, her husband was seriously ill and paralyzed, and the burden on the family was extremely heavy.
Seeing that the chips in front of him were getting fewer and fewer, Fourth Brother Zhao shook his head like a deflated ball and said, "I haven't washed my hands today, so I won't play." ”
Liu Sanye touched the jade wrench finger on his withered hand, and said expressionlessly: "Then don't play." When he glanced at Ye Zhao out of the corner of his eye, he couldn't help but be surprised, what kind of character was this rich young man, and he didn't cheat him.
The imperial concubine Niangniang, Hua Ji has now learned to reward, counted the chips in front of her, won more than a dozen silver dollars, and rewarded the female dealer Qiu Yue who helped her look at the cards, Qiu Yue is very grateful.
Ye Zhao also won more than 100 silver dollars, then grabbed a handful of chips and handed them to Qiu Ju, and said: "If life is hard, you must follow the rules, and I will reward you with these silver on behalf of Fourth Brother Zhao." ”
Fourth Brother Zhao laughed and gave a thumbs up: "Brother, arrogant, I can see that you and your wife really don't care about money, but what I Zhao Si'er lost to you is yours, and your reward has nothing to do with me, but I have made up your friends." ”
Qiu Ju was stunned, listening to the meaning of Ye Zhao's words, she knew that this rich boy saw that he was colluding with Liu Sanye, but reaching out was a reward of hundreds of silver dollars, you must know that Liu Sanye only gave her ten or eight silver dollars every time, so she had to win a lot of money like today.
Liu Sanye, who had been expressionless, had triangular eyelids jumping, and his face sank.
