Chapter Forty-Nine: The Imperial Tower
Yin Li only paused in front of the door, his eyes were certain, and he stepped in through the door.
Inside the door was a corridor, where men and women came and went, their faces still excited.
Walking through the corridor, the music is high, and there is a big hall inside, strictly speaking, a hall for drinking flower wine. But this hall is neither like a restaurant nor a kiln, and in the middle of the hall is laid a round table, on which six or seven people play the harp, or blow the flute, or pull the hu, or ring the bell; in addition to the players, there are two young women on the table holding iron poles and dancing nondescript.
Under the stage, hundreds of tables and chairs are placed in a messy and orderly manner.
The whole hall was overcrowded, drinking and dancing, and they were all happy.
From time to time, someone came to the front of the stage and reached out to touch the two dancing women.
There are also people who go crazy with wine, dancing with their hands, and yelling and screaming.
When Yin Li saw this scene, his eyes were dumbfounded, what kind of stuff is this?
Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration, and vaguely remembered that when he was four years old, his father seemed to have opened a similar wine hall in Nanyang City, but on the opening day, his grandfather led people to smash the field. He didn't remember how his grandfather reprimanded his father at the time, but he was sure that everything in front of him had been fiddled with by his father.
When he came into the wine hall, Xiao Er came over to take care of him and asked him what he wanted to drink?
Yin Li said to Xiao Er: "I'm looking for Hua Niang, please let me know." ”
The little two looked him up and down, went down, and said, "There's something wrong." ”
Yin Li saw that Xiao Er turned around to leave, so he grabbed the pulse of his hand and squeezed it hard: "Who do you say is wrong!"
The little second-hand vein was pinched, and it hurt but it hurt: "Oh, ah, it hurts, I said myself, I have a problem." ”
Yin Li said: "It's almost the same, take me to see Hua Niang, if you dare to say no, I'll unscrew your hand!"
The little two pointed to the stairs at the door: "My shopkeeper is gambling on pai gow on the second floor, you can go up by yourself." ”
Yin Li looked back at the stairs, let go of Xiao Er's hand, turned around and went out, and went up to the second floor.
This second floor is a big gambling house, but it is different from the gambling houses in other places, although there are many people here, but clean and tidy, there are more than a dozen tables, each table has a different gambling method, Yin Li swept his eyes, and most of the gambling methods are not recognized.
He circled around the gambling house for half a circle and found the table for betting on pai gow.
But before he could find the flower girl, he suddenly heard someone shouting: "Yin Li!"
Yin Li was overjoyed, and turned his head to look, but it was Dian Xingyue sitting in the crowd.
Dian Xingyue was holding a luminous cup, and there was wine in the cup, which was blood-red and blood-red.
She was sitting in the middle of the table just now, as if she was playing pai gow with someone, and when she saw Yin Li coming, she got up and shouted, and she rarely cried and laughed. When she shouted, the surrounding gamblers all looked at Yin Li, and these gamblers rushed to Dian Xingyue's side before Yin Li came, one by one, as if they had never seen a woman, and they coveted Dian Xingyue.
At this time, seeing that Xingyue shouted at Yin Li, these gamblers were naturally full of jealousy.
Dian Xingyue opened the crowd, stepped forward to greet her, and said, "It's okay if you're fine." ”
Yin Li looked her up and down: "Of course I'm fine, what about you, are you injured?"
Dian Xingyue Si Swen smiled lightly: "I was not injured, the fire was burning at that time, and it was the people of the Imperial Mansion who saved me." By the way, the person who rescued me was sent by the shopkeeper, and she said that she would not let me go until dawn when it was safe, and she was playing cards there. Hey, where is she? The flower shopkeeper was gone, she looked around, but she didn't find it, so she asked the dealer who dealt the cards: "Where is the flower shopkeeper?"
The dealer pointed to the stairs: "I just ran downstairs with my head and my face covered." ”
Dian Xingyue said strangely: "It's weird, it's okay just now, why do you want to run?"
Yin Li grabbed her arm and pulled her downstairs: "It's good to run, and you don't have to talk to her more, we have no relatives with her, why should she save you, will there be any conspiracy in this?" In short, let me see tonight, there are not many good things in Taichang City, and this place is not suitable for a long time, let's go quickly." ”
The two of them went down the stairs, and just out of the building, they were stopped by Xiao Er in the wine hall.
The little second hunched and asked with a smile: "Are you the girl of the star and the moon?"
Yin Li didn't wait for Dian Xingyue to answer, and said, "Yes, what do you want to do?"
The little two took out a piece of paper and handed it with both hands: "My flower shopkeeper said that the girl who just accompanied her and brought her good luck, she won money tonight, so she naturally can't forget the good of the girl when she wins, this is a 10,000 gold deposit ticket, Taichang ten money can be exchanged, please accept it." ”
Dian Xingyue said strangely: "Did she win, she seems to have been losing money, right?"
"It's not clear to this villain. Seeing that Dian Xingyue refused to take it, the little second child simply handed it forward, forced the deposit ticket to her, and then bowed respectfully, and entered the gate with small steps.
Dian Xingyue took the deposit ticket, only to feel that her hands were extremely heavy, and she didn't know what to do.
So he was stunned for a moment and asked Yin Li: "What should we do with this money, do we want it?"
Yin Li's suspicion became more and more serious, and he said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "It's 10,000 yuan as soon as you make a move, this flower shopkeeper is so generous, it's really strange, we don't know her, why did she save you and send you money to spend, shouldn't she be your relative?"
"Don't you know what's going on in my family, how can I have a relative like her. But she is really weird, she just asked me to accompany her, and she has been asking you all the time, she seems to be very interested in you, but I don't know why she hid as soon as you came?" ”
Yin Li snorted: "You are stupid, why don't you want the money you picked up for nothing." ”
Dian Xingyue handed him the deposit ticket: "If you want it, then you can take it." ”
Yin Li shrugged: "It's better for you to take it, you are the housekeeper's mother-in-law." ”
Dian Xingyue frowned: "Butler's mother-in-law, am I my mother-in-law?"
Yin Li said with a smile: "Your father is in charge of money and grain production, so you are not a housekeeper or mother-in-law." When I went out, my grandfather didn't let me take a penny, and handed it all over to you for safekeeping, I thought, how can he hand over my money to you for safekeeping, and now I understand, it turns out that you are my big Si Nong, my housekeeper's mother-in-law, hahaha, hahaha. ”
At this time, the sky was covered with a white belly, and it was almost bright.
When the two returned to Dongcheng, the sun was rising and the sky was already bright.
The Night Hades Hall invaded Wuyi Lane, maintained order in the eastern city, and appeased the people, and the situation was quickly alleviated. It's just that the area around Longmen Street has been blocked by officers and soldiers, and idlers and miscellaneous people are not allowed to enter or leave. Yin Li and the others couldn't enter Longmen Street, so they wandered around for a while, and ran into Song Dazhong and his party, who had just returned from hunting.
Song Dazhong saw the great changes in Longmen Street, and he couldn't help but ask.
Yin Li didn't hide it, and told him about last night's danger one by one.
When Song Dazhong and the others heard this, they couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
After the two sides finished talking, they went to the inner city and went to the Yuxian Forest Inn.
