Sure enough, is there a problem with the shopkeeper?

Gu Jiayao's eyes flashed with a dark glow, and her bright face became more gloomy.

Shi Ze didn't quite understand Gu Jiayao's changes, his voice was low, and his face was more serious:

"The shopkeeper is usually a good person, and he has helped his neighbors, and he gets along well with the people in the neighborhood, and if he has no money to eat, the shopkeeper is not too persecuted, and he has a good reputation in the harbor area."

If the reputation is not good, how can no one suspect that Gu Xi has been wronged?

used his underage daughter to frame Gu Xi.

Without enough benefits, it is impossible for him to make such a sacrifice.

Gu Jiayao seems to be covered with a dark cloud like thick ink above her head, Gu Xi can't offend the shopkeeper, so there must be a terrifying person behind the shopkeeper,

"Are you alright?"

Shi Ze asked, the honest smile on his face faded a lot, "The face is very unsightly." ”

Gu Jiayao shook her head lightly, her voice hoarse, "It's okay, I just didn't expect things to be so complicated." ”

She didn't say anything more.

Shi Ze lowered his eyelids, covering the look in his eyes, and the hand on his knee was clenched into a fist, and the young man in front of him was no longer the one who was laughing with him.

He prefers to see a mischievous bright smile.

"How do you know he's been to the casino?" Gu Jiayao looked at Shi Ze with a suspicious gaze.

She once asked a lot of people, and they all said that the shopkeeper was good, and no one said that the shopkeeper had been to the casino.

In the eyes of others, the shopkeeper is a good person, the Gu family can make money, and he is also a loving father who loves his children.

Since Ishizawa knew the secret that the shopkeeper didn't know, it could only be that Ishizawa had seen him in the casino.

Many coolie workers at the docks are addicted to gambling, and poverty makes these people dream of getting rich overnight, and they often fall deeper and deeper, and they are addicted to gambling and cannot extricate themselves.

Shi Ze understood Gu Jiayao's gaze, put his fist against his lips, and quickly explained: "I used to be a thug in a casino...... I have seen many people sell their children and daughters because of gambling, and their families are ruined, and I once showed mercy to the gamblers, and was driven away by the owner of the casino."

By the end, his voice was already soft.

"In the casino owes money to the people of the profit, few people can pay off, the gambler's wife is seriously ill, that is her life-saving silver, when I went to collect debts, I really can't bear it, let him go, he clearly promised that I will not go to the casino again, and even swore a broken finger - at night on the back of the old lady escaped from Guangzhou, I told the casino owner that he had left, but the next day he went to another casino again to gamble, the boss knew, I ......"

"You were kicked away by the boss?"

"Hmm."

Shi Ze pitifully drooped his head, his hair shaggy, like a big dog who had been wronged.

"The casino owner didn't let you pay back the money? Just let you go so easily? ”

If you don't have a hard heart, you can't open a casino.

Shi Ze sneered: "I can go to the casino to be a thug, and I can also be a small leader, responsible for collecting arrears, not because I am smart enough, but I once saved the casino owner, originally he planned to train me to be close to his subordinates, after such an incident, he said that I was not suitable for the casino, and gave me a few taels of silver, and let me go." ”

"Actually, even if the casino owner doesn't say it, I'm going to leave the casino."

"If your temperament continues in the casino, it will be torture to you and to the casino owner."

Gu Jiayao believed in Shi Ze's words, Shi Ze not only had a simple and honest temperament, but also couldn't see others suffering, although the gamblers were pitiful, but who forced them to gamble?

Casino owners are abominable, and gamblers who can't control themselves don't deserve sympathy!

"I don't think you should be called Ah Niu, the nickname should be a stone."

With the words of playful abuse, Shi Ze's face turned red again.

"You met the shopkeeper at the casino? Do you know that he owes a large sum of money? ”

"I knew he was being calculated!"

Shi Ze lowered his voice again, "The gambling equipment in the casino is not very clean, and there are always some small tricks for gamblers to win two and lose five, and use a little sweetness to cover out more silver." The shopkeeper was dragged to the casino by his friend, and began to be very curious about the casino, it seems that it is the first time to come to the casino, and generally meet such people, most of the people in the casino let him win first and then lose, but the shopkeeper has been winning for the first time in the casino, he won more than 100 taels of silver, not much, he became a capable person in the eyes of gamblers, and then many people surrounded him, followed him to bet, and regarded him as the god of gambling. ”

"You haven't been to the casino, I don't know the excitement of the excitement at that time, I saw the boss with a red face, and even the shopkeeper's face was deformed with excitement."

Gu Jiayao nodded slightly.

She has never been to a casino, has watched movies such as God of Gamblers, and always remembers the momentum of the God of Gamblers when he appeared.

Not to mention the silver won back, it is enough to be complimented by gamblers, which is enough to make people lose self-control.

At that time, he only won more than 100 taels of silver, did the people who bet with him win a lot? Casinos don't use their means? “

"Nope."

Shi Ze said: "Always let them win, the loss of the casino that night was not more than 10,000 taels of silver, most of the people who came to the casino could not quit drugs, and they also won and lost, and the money won back by gamblers will eventually return to the hands of the casino owner." ”

Gu Jiayao asked again, "What happened later?" ”

"Later, the shopkeeper went to his friends several times, most of them won more and lost less, and I also secretly reminded the shopkeeper, but he has been stimulated by the easy win of i silver to lose his mind, and I can't say that someone dug a hole for him, after all, I am only a side of the relationship with the shopkeeper."

"Hmm."

Gu Jiayao felt more and more that Gu Xi's case was not simple, not just for the calculation of the shopkeeper, and then thinking of the encounter between the Jiang family and the Jiang family, there were too many evil hands behind it, and Gu Jiayao speculated that these were just the beginning, there would be killing moves later, and if she couldn't find out this person, her family didn't want to live a relaxed life.

It's hard to save your life, where is the heart to make money?

There is no endless road, Gu Jiayao is very glad that she helped Shi Ze, and she is really a good person with good rewards.

Shi Ze continued: "Later, the shopkeeper went to the casino by himself, at this time he began to slowly lose more and win less, before I left the casino, I heard that he had owed the casino a lot of silver, even if he sold the wine shop and the mansion can not afford to pay it back, a few days ago when I was working in the port, I heard that he often came to the wine shop to eat and drink Mr. Gu sued the yamen, saying that Mr. Gu had bad intentions, and he used the strength of the wine to ** his ten-year-old daughter. ”

"Do you know Mr. Gu?" Gu Jiayao asked.

"I don't know, but I've heard of Mr. Gu, he is handsome and elegant, chic and elegant, every time he comes to the wine shop, he attracts the attention of many women, and he ...... I often do things that I can't understand, and my words and deeds are different from those of ordinary readers. ”

Shi Ze said softly: "I have seen a lot of scholars, and Mr. Gu is the most special one. ”
