After coming out of the Daotai Yamen, Xiao Zhenlei and Song Shijie drove the carriage back, went out of the county seat and entered the French Concession, Song Shijie sat on the left to drive the carriage, and Xiao Zhenlei sat on the right smoking a cigarette and thinking about how to buy land and build a factory.

Soon entering the downtown area of the French Concession, Xiao Zhenlei saw a large façade along the street, decorated in a bit of style, and a piece of "Gongxing Ji Club" was hung on the eaves. Club" and asked, "What does this 'Gongxing Ji' do?" ”

Song Shijie turned his head and explained: "This is a casino, one of the three major casinos in the French Concession, and those who come in and out are quite generous people, I heard that it is the right-hand man of the tycoon Huang Jingrong and one of the eight King Kongs Du Yuesheng who is now in the town!" ”

"Du Yuesheng? Is he in this Gongxing Town? "Xiao Zhenlei was a little surprised, he was no stranger to Du Yuesheng, and later Du Yuesheng became the most prestigious figure on the beach, a veritable king of Shanghai.

Song Shijie saw that Xiao Zhenlei's expression was a little strange, parked the carriage on the side of the street, and asked, "Mr. knows this Du Yuesheng?" ”

"I don't know, but I've heard of this person, it is said that this person is a person from all over the world, quite bold, since we have passed here, let's go in and have a look, go!" Xiao Zhenlei shook his head and got out of the carriage as he spoke.

Soon a casino guy came over, Song Shijie threw a little tip and asked the guy to take care of the carriage and feed the horse some forage bean cakes, and then followed Xiao Zhenlei into Gongxingji.

But said that a few days ago, Du Yuesheng gave advice to Huang Jingrong and successfully solved the case of eight British soldiers being killed, so that Huang Jingrong not only showed his face in the French Concession, but also in the British in the Public Concession, which made Huang Jingrong very happy and felt very face-saving, so Huang Jingrong's wife Lin Guisheng Baoju asked Du Yuesheng to go to the Gongxingji Casino Town to get an income, Huang Jingrong was happy and agreed on the spot.

Then Lin Guisheng called Du Yuesheng and instructed him: "Yuesheng, I said that day, as long as you solve that matter for Boss Huang, let you go to Gongxingji Town, now is the time to cash, you go to find the boss of Gongxingji, and say that I called you to help them, and eat a portion of Yulu as usual." ”

Du Yuesheng happily agreed. On this day, Du Yuesheng rushed to the Chinese Chamber of Commerce and explained to the casino owner in the future. He never thought of it. As soon as the casino owner opened his mouth, he asked him to touch a nail: "Little friend, you must always know the phrase 'empty words'!" ”

After being ridiculed in public, Du Yuesheng was speechless, his face was swollen red, he turned around, and fled from the casino in a hurry.

After going back, he decided to keep quiet, so as not to provoke right and wrong, so that Sister Gui Sheng felt that he could not get off the stage. After a few more days, Sister Gui Sheng accidentally thought about it and asked him: "Gongxingji, how much money do you have to give?" ”

Du Yuesheng was hesitant and couldn't answer. Sister Gui Sheng is such a shrewd and powerful person, it is clear at a glance, she interrogated Du Yuesheng, and when she learned about the experience of hitting the nail that day, she couldn't help but be furious, she jumped up from the chair and said sharply: "Okay, I'll take you personally, go!" ”

The casino owner saw Sister Gui Sheng suddenly coming, Sister Gui Sheng is the wife of Boss Huang, and in the realm of white people, she must be called "Lao Zheng Niangniang". Look at the person behind her, who was the child who was sent away by him that day. Thinking about it, he was frightened, he smiled at Sister Gui Sheng, said good things, and entertained him hospifully, without waiting for Sister Gui Sheng to open his mouth to question, he first tactfully explained the misunderstanding of that day.

Sister Gui Sheng didn't seem to have heard a word, she turned around and said with a faint smile: "Do you want a certificate?" Now the credentials are here. ”

So the casino owner was so frightened that he apologized in a low voice, saying that Sister Gui Sheng cared about it, how dare he dismiss it? At that time, he admitted that he invited Du Yuesheng to eat a piece of longevity and receive 30 yuan per month.

A table that was gambling on pai gow stopped, and the gamblers were dumbfounded, sitting in a daze, watching Sister Gui Sheng exert her power and the casino owner deflated.

In front of so many people, Sister Gui Sheng was full of face and earned, and it was inevitable that she was a little staring at the crowd and full of ambition, and on a whim, she looked at the gambling table where she stopped and said: "I'll push a few pairs." ”

With a cheer, the people in the casino hugged Sister Gui Sheng, and the gamblers who were pushing the village hurriedly laughed and gave way. Du Yuesheng followed behind Sister Gui Sheng, looked at the gambling table, and played pai gow with two eyes and two eyes. Thirty-two tooth cards, four cards per person at a time, matched into pairs, one by one and the dealer compared to the size.

Melon seed candy and hot tea hand towels were all served by the casino owner himself, and a small coffee table next to Sister Gui Sheng's chair was filled in an instant. Du Yuesheng saw the boss making gestures again and again, so more than a dozen people came over from all directions, flying around to do "flies", they bet on the three doors respectively, this gambling table is so lively, everyone came to hold the "Lao Zheng Niangniang" field, Du Yuesheng heard Sister Gui Sheng's voice laughing.

Stand aside and watch coldly. Du Yuesheng bowed slightly, well, Sister Gui Sheng is skilled in her skills and quick movements, she must be an expert. More than a dozen Zhuang pushed down, and she had already won a lot.

Probably Sister Gui Sheng suddenly remembered, with her identity, how could she stay in the casino for a long time? Seeing that the chips in front of her were about two or three hundred yuan, which was enough to make the capital, she turned around, looked at Du Yuesheng and said, "Come, Yuesheng, you help me take it." ”

Du Yuesheng was still stunned, Sister Gui Sheng had already stood up with a smile, she said that she had something to do, and she had to go back first, and told Du Yuesheng to just play here, and the casino owner sent Sister Gui Sheng to the car.

I haven't gambled for a long time, not to mention that I am earning enough money to save face, in such a luxurious and comfortable casino, people are in good spirits on happy occasions, Du Yuesheng called Lu to drink pheasants, waved his hand, and gambled happily, so he won a big win on this gambling table, and after three hours, he counted the chips, and he found that he had won as much as 2,400 yuan. He thought, this is really a pleasure that he has never had in his life.

Du Yuesheng has been mixed up for so many years, how can he not understand that he can only win by relying on Sister Guisheng's momentum? It's like playing business cards in the next generation, someone else deliberately plays a word to make you win, and you will win money even if you play indiscriminately. Du Yuesheng knew that this village was called by Sister Gui Sheng, and his luck was Sister Guisheng's luck, and the color head was Sister Gui Sheng's color head. The wind is too full, so it's better to close the tent quickly, otherwise it will not be good for her to lose again.

Thinking of it, he immediately stood up, clasped his hands into fists, made a square gesture and said, "It's not too early, I still have some things in the Huang Mansion, so I have to take a step first." ”

As soon as the words were finished, there was a buzz of protest, and the dealer won so much, saying that he was going to leave, which was too inconsistent with the rules of the casino. However, everyone knew that he was from the Tongfu Li Huang Mansion, especially when he was personally brought by Sister Gui Sheng, and protested a few words, seeing Du Yuesheng ignoring it with a smile. The gamblers said in their hearts, forget it, they had to admit that they were upside down, and they lost money and even lost a chance to turn over.

The chips were exchanged for 2,400 yuan bills, wrapped in declaration paper, and held a large bag in his hand, Du Yuesheng was full of joy and hired a rickshaw to go back to Tongfuli, he was busy going to Sister Gui Sheng to pay the bill.

As soon as the declaration paper was opened, Sister Gui Sheng was stunned when she saw that she had won so much money and came back, she shook her head gently, and said with a smile: "Yuesheng, this is really your luck." I called you to replace a few pairs, I wanted to pick you to win two petty days, but if you lose, you will be counted. Where did you think that you would win such a big vote, take it, this money is all yours, I don't want a penny. ”

"I can't take it." Du Yuesheng said sincerely: "I am pushing the village on your behalf, and it is your luck to win Tongtian." ”

"Not my luck." Sister Gui Sheng nodded at him meaningfully: "It's your auspicious star that shines brightly." Take it, the money is yours. ”

Sister Gui Sheng insisted on giving it, but Du Yuesheng repeatedly pushed back, so Sister Gui Sheng said: "Okay, I'll take 400 yuan of red money, and you can take the 2,000 yuan." ”

Du Yuesheng said: "No, if you take 2,000 yuan, I will be satisfied with 400 yuan." ”

Sister Gui Sheng was impatient, and she gave an order with a calm face: "If you are told to take it, take it!" Say no more! ”

In this way, Du Yuesheng became the eldest brother of the town in Gongxing Ji, and received a monthly salary of thirty silver dollars. Can be on the beach of the scoundrels, the ground. There are so many ruffians, and Du Yuesheng is not a special fighter, how can he protect the safety of Gongxingji alone? So he asked Huang Jingrong for four helpers: Ye Daoshan, Gu Jiarong, Rui Qingrong, and Gao Xinbao.
