Chapter 384: Dead Man
"What if Lao Du doesn't come?"
After Du Tongxuan left, Lu Xiaofeng raised a question, Lao Du has silk in his hand, but his feet are on his own body, no one can guarantee that he will definitely come on the day of the competition.
"Lao Du is a smart man."
Su Yang said: "In this gamble, there is not only Li Yanbei's net worth, but also his, Li Yanbei still knows its advantages and avoids disadvantages, he will not understand this truth, if he doesn't come, then once we can come out of the Forbidden City alive, he won't be able to live." ”
Su Yang took a sip of tea and said leisurely: "I give him silk, in fact, it is no different from hooligans who are cruel and scary, which means that I am eyeing you, boy, you dare to try it, Du Tongxuan and Li Yanbei are the biggest hooligans in the capital, of course they understand this kind of thing." If he doesn't come, but someone else comes, this person also deserves our focus on 'taking care of'. ”
Gu Qingfeng was taken care of by them once.
Now Su Yang was thinking about something else. It seems that the outside of the imperial city has settled down for now, but what about inside the city?
Several dead people in the original plot, Master Sun, who played the great wisdom and chase, Zhang Yingfeng among the three heroes and four shows under the Emei Gate, and the famous ** Ouyang Qing, they broke a big secret, this secret is about the palace, so they were killed and killed, but because they came to the ancient dragon world before, several plots have changed, and these people have not appeared so far.
If none of them show up, it means that the conspiracy against the palace has changed and is completely unpredictable.
Just as he was thinking about it, suddenly someone on the street at the door shouted: "Murder! Killed! ”
Su Yang was stunned, is it here?
The people in the capital love to watch the excitement and are bold, and after hearing that they have killed someone, instead of being afraid, they are swarming and rushing over.
Out of the crowd came a man, a horse.
The man's face was full of grief and indignation, and he led a white horse, and there was a man on the white horse, a dead man.
The man leading the horse had a sword hanging from his waist, and the hilt of the sword was densely wrapped with a layer of soft silk, so that when the hand was held on it, it was easier to exert force, and it could also absorb the sweat from the tension in the palm. Only those who really know how to use the sword know how to use this method.
The man walked to the door of the teahouse and suddenly stopped, turned around and walked into the teahouse, his eyes swept around the teahouse, and finally fell on Su Yang and Lu Xiaofeng.
"Su Daxia, Lu Daxia?"
Lu Xiaofeng said: "Your Excellency?" ”
The man said: "Under Yan Renying, the one immediately is my senior brother Zhang Yingfeng." ”
In the first battle of the Great Jinpeng Dynasty, Dugu Yihe and Ximen Blowing Snow faked their deaths, and finally exposed Huo Xiu, so Emei faction up and down, and also regarded Su Yang and others as friends, after Yan Renying found the body of his senior brother, the first thing that came to mind was to come to Su Yang and Lu Xiaofeng for help.
"Where's your master?" Su Yang said unexpectedly: "He didn't come to this duel?" Originally, Su Yang was also going to give Dugu Yihe a piece of silk, Dugu Yihe has outstanding martial arts, and with him in the palace, he is more sure to deal with it if there is chaos.
"Master has an urgent matter to go to Guanwai, and this time only a few of our senior brothers came."
This decisive battle at the top of the Forbidden City, Dugu Yihe, as a swordsman, originally came to watch the battle no matter what, but there was an urgent matter to get out of the customs temporarily, so several ** under the door came to the capital, after entering the city, several brothers were temporarily fine, and they were playing in the capital, two days later, when they met at the agreed place, Yan Renying found the body of the senior brother.
Yan Renying took his cold corpse from the horse, and there were almost no scars on the corpse, only a little more blood on the throat, which was left by the tip of the sword.
An extremely sharp, terrifying sword.
Yan Renying suddenly asked, "Can the two of you see that he died under someone's sword?" ”
Lu Xiaofeng could see that there might be only one person in the world who could use such a sharp and terrifying sword. Even Ye Gucheng can't. His sword would never kill with such cleanliness.
This is probably the real reason why Yan Renying came to find Su Yang and Lu Xiaofeng, Yan Renying couldn't find Ximen Blowing Snow, even if he found it, there was no way, but Su Yang and Lu Xiaofeng and Ximen Blowing Snow were friends.
Yan Renying stared at the sword mark on his junior brother's throat and muttered, "Ximen blowing snow only Ximen blowing snow"
"But why did Simon Blowing Snow kill him?" Su Yang asked: "There is no hatred between him and Ximen Chuixue, on the contrary, several of your junior sisters have lived in Wanmei Villa for a period of time, and they can be regarded as friends." ”
"That's why I came to find two." Yan Renyingdao.
Su Yang searched for Zhang Yingfeng's corpse for a while, but did not find the clay figure in the original plot, in the original plot, Zhang Yingfeng broke the conspiracy, and before he died, he pinched the people present into clay figures in his sleeve, but now there is none.
"My senior brother is a good gambler, and before we broke up, he told me that he was going to a casino outside the imperial city to play two hands." Yan Renying said.
"Let's go to the casino, maybe we can get a clue." Lu Xiaofeng said.
Su Yang thought about it, took out a piece of silk and handed it to Yan Renying, four of the six pieces of silk had been sent, and there were two left, just one for himself and Lu Xiaofeng
The location of the casino was just below the Imperial City, a poor and shabby hut made of wooden planks and adobe bricks.
On both sides of the street, there are small restaurants blackened by oil smoke, noisy small teahouses like chicken coops, and small grocery stores full of eggs and oil sauce.
The wind was full of the stench of smoke, the stench of wine, the stench of salted fish and moldy tofu, and all kinds of strange stench that could not even be said, that was where the relatives of the eunuchs lived, and the eunuchs in the imperial city were not easy to come out once.
Through the relationship between Li Yanbei and Guò, a eunuch named Xiao Anzi led Su Yang and Lu Xiaofeng to this casino.
"The two of you are lucky today, Manager Wang will come, as soon as Manager Wang arrives, Brother Maliu's gambling game will be opened, and the two of you can have a good time." Xiao Anzi squeezed his eyebrows and said.
"Who is Brother Ma?" Lu Xiaofeng asked.
Xiao Anzi covered his mouth and giggled: "Of course, Sixth Brother Ma is the owner of the casino, and he is also the most popular person in our place, because he is a real man." ”
"Who is Mr. Wang?" Lu Xiaofeng asked.
"Chief Wang is the ancestor of all our eunuchs, the chief eunuch of the palm seal of the celebrant eunuch, and the chief of the inner house."
Mr. Wang is an old eunuch, his clothes are more elaborate than other eunuchs, and he always has an orchid hand when he speaks, and he looks like an old woman, and he always has a strange smile on his face.
The casino was originally a mess, but as soon as Manager Wang came, everyone greeted him respectfully, Manager Wang nodded, and the whole room suddenly became lively again.
The gambling game has begun, noisy, smoky, stinking, around the table gambling people, nine out of ten are eunuchs, one side of the dice, the other side of the ears, pinched feet, pinched after pinching, pinched and then sniffed, sniffed after sniffing, and from time to time grabbed a handful in the east and touched a handful in the west.
The dealer, of course, is Brother Ma, standing there proudly with his chest upright, every pockmark is glowing red, and the oily table is soon crowded with people.
Xiao Anzi opened the way for Su Yang and them in the crowd: "Guys, get out of the way, pull aside, I have two good brothers who also want to come and play a few hands!" ”
In this group of people, Su Yang and Lu Xiaofeng are obviously different, as soon as Brother Ma Liuge saw them, his eyes widened, and they were full of hostility, just like a rooster suddenly found that another rooster in his nest had broken in.
He had a pair of triangular eyes, looked them up and down several times, and then said coldly: "What do you want to play?" Play big or play small? Play real or fake? ”
The eunuchs laughed together, and the sound of laughter was like a flock of little hens, and the laughter made Lu Xiaofeng's whole body goosebumps.
Xiao Anzi hurriedly said: "Of course play big, the bigger the better!" "The rules in the casino, the person is brought by him, if Ma Liu loses, it is Ma Liu's own craftsmanship is not good, it is none of his business, if Ma Liu wins, he will take dividends.
"Want to play big?" Brother Ma Liu asked, "How much gambling money do you have?" ”
Su Yang doesn't have much money on him, but Lu Xiaofeng is different, his life is better than most people, so he spends money more than most people, it is said that he often carries a stack of silver tickets, each of which is five thousand taels.
"Is that enough?" He casually took out a crumpled silver ticket from his body and threw it on the table.
Everyone laughed again. This silver ticket looks almost like a piece of papyrus. A little eunuch picked up the silver ticket with two fingers, unfolded it, and his eyes suddenly straightened: "Ten thousand taels." ”
This grass-like silver ticket is actually 10,000 taels, and it is also issued by the "Four Hengs" of the East Fourth Archway, which is guaranteed to be fully cashed.
Seeing this silver ticket, Brother Ma's majesty had been reduced by half, and his anger was also smaller, so he reluctantly smiled: "How can you find such a big silver ticket?" ”
"You don't have to look for it." Su Yang said lightly: "We only gamble and see whether we win or lose." ”
"A bet of 10,000 taels?" Brother Ma's face had begun to sweat, and sweat was breaking out in every pockmark.
The silver on the table together is not enough for a corner of this silver ticket.
Brother Ma Liu hesitated, looked at the hundreds of taels of silver in front of him, and said, "We don't bet such a big bet here!" ”
Lu Xiaofeng said: "I also know that I don't have enough money to gamble, so if you lose, I just need you two words." ”
"What if you lose?"
"I lost, this 10,000 taels is yours!"
Brother Ma's eyes lit up again, and he immediately asked, "What do you want me to say?" ”
Lu Xiaofeng stared at it and said word for word: "How did Zhang Yingfeng die?" ”
