Chapter 232: Treasure Source Bureau
There is only one line of light left, and the largest gambling house in the capital, Baoyuan Bureau, has started the most lively time of the day.
There are three floors here, the first floor bets, singing treasures one after another, "buy and leave~~", "bet on double to get double Lat ~~"
On the second floor, touch dominoes, roll dice, or a table of four people or a game of five or seven people, some are acquaintances, and some are improvised patchwork.
The so-called "no raw and cooked on the table" means that acquaintances must also settle accounts, even if they don't recognize it, as long as they make up a game, they can still play.
On the third floor, the leaves are playing cards, and they are more elegant than others.
People who come to Baoyuan Bureau to gamble money have three religions and nine streams.
The wonderful thing is that everyone who comes to gamble has to wear a paper mask, and the mask is painted with various patterns, such as cows, ghosts, snakes, gods, mountain spirits, sea monsters, and so on.
Except for a very few who come here to gamble and leave, most of them linger until midnight or even all night.
It's always been like this on the table, those who win still want to win, and those who lose want to get back to their roots.
Everyone knows that's the case, but once they enter the game, they can't help themselves.
So there are a lot of people who lose red eyes, and they want to turn the book hard, but they lose more and more.
Chen Guidong was like this at the beginning, these children of the family are allowed to owe money to gamble, and there is an account room on the third floor to keep gambling accounts.
It's just that the person who comes in to keep the account has to take off his mask and sign the account book.
Lao Jin, who was in charge of the accounts of the gambling workshop, was a man of God, and no one had ever seen him outside the account room of the Baoyuan Bureau, but he recognized all the children of the official families and businessmen in the capital.
As long as the visitor takes off his mask, he will be able to call out the other person's name.
People don't know who the Baoyuan Bureau is, but the people who can afford to open a big gambling house in the capital are by no means idle people.
There are also people who want to repay their debts, but without exception, they are all cleaned up very badly, ranging from being beaten and starved to having their fingers and hands cut off.
Over time, people have understood one thing, that is, the Baoyuan Bureau's accounts are indebted.
Wei Changan mingled in the crowd, wearing a cyan grimace.
First, I fought a few handfuls of leaves on the third floor, and then went to the second floor to shout and throw a few plates of dice, and then ran to the first floor to bet on the treasure.
The faster you win or lose, the more addictive you become, and betting on the treasure is just a moment's work, and winning or losing is already a foregone conclusion.
When you win, you will naturally be happy, and if you lose, you will always feel unconvinced.
Wei Changan didn't have much money on himself, and the Bao family was afraid that he would learn badly and never gave him too much money to spend.
However, since getting acquainted with the Feng brothers, Wei Changan began to go in and out of the gambling brothel more and more frequently, once people are contaminated with these two things, they will be addicted to the bone marrow, and it is very difficult to quit.
The previous few times were the Feng brothers who were the east, and they won Wei Chang'an, and the losses were recorded on their heads.
Wei Chang'an, who came and went, was addicted, and he couldn't help but run to these places by himself without being invited.
often come out to fool around in the name of reading, and when they are almost finished playing in the gambling house, they go to the opposite Tianxiangyuan prostitutes, squander them wantonly and then pretend to go back.
Of course, he didn't dare to do this every day, only once or twice a month.
Rao is like this, and he has spent a lot of money, but there are Feng brothers to help cover it up, and he can keep accounts if he has no money.
Wei Chang'an was stupid, and he always felt that as long as he was lucky, he would be able to win all the money back in the casino.
So every time he came to the gambling house, if he won money, he would take the money directly to the brothel. If you lose, just keep the account, and it doesn't count how much you owe.
Wei Chang'an's luck today is not good, except for winning two dice rolls, the rest is a loss.
He bet one by one in order to turn it over, but he didn't win a game.
The green tendons on Wei Chang'an's forehead burst up, but he couldn't see it from the mask.
At this time, someone behind him wrenched his shoulder, and Wei Chang'an was impatiently turning around and was about to scold, but when he saw the person's figure and dress, he immediately lost his anger.
"Second Brother Feng......" Wei Changan called affectionately.
"Shhhhh......h
Feng Yuduo came to Wei Chang'an and took him from the gambling workshop to the restaurant.
The Feng brothers don't go to brothels much, that is, they have accompanied Wei Changan a few times.
They have always disliked prostitutes for being unclean, far inferior to the ladies who are clean and have outstanding temperament.
Wei Changan has always admired the Feng brothers for their means, and they treat them as good people from the bottom of their hearts.
At the banquet, two glasses of wine were in my stomach, and I wanted to take a knife and cut off my head for others.
Feng Yuduo grabbed the wine glass with one hand, with a smile on his face, and asked Wei Chang'an: "Wei Dashao, ...... your fifth sister?"
Wei Changan immediately made a heartbroken gesture and said, "The one who doesn't know how to lift up has wasted a piece of your brother's heart. ”
"I heard that I was ...... at Xiao's house a few days ago" Feng Yuduo smiled slightly, turned the wine glass, and admired the amber sparkle inside.
"She is indeed implicated in the affairs of the Xiao family," Wei Changan hurriedly said: "Then Tan Rui doesn't know what is crazy, she probably has a grudge with the Chen family, and wants Xiao Wu to take the blame." ”
Although Wei Changan is stupid, he also understands that he has to help Wei Yining clear up in this matter, after all, it is related to their family's reputation.
"The fifth girl of your family is calm," Feng Yuduo said, "I heard that when people thought she killed someone at first, she didn't lose her temper at all." ”
"Hey, outsiders know something." Wei Changan smacked his lips and said: "She looked strangely calm at the time, and after going back, she tripped at the gate, obviously her legs were weak from fright, and she cried for a long time when she returned to the room, and she had an illness again, and it took several days to get off the ground." In the end, she was still scared, but she had always been a gentle person and was used to swallowing her anger. ”
Wei Yining returned home with the Bao family afterwards that day, and he was very calm all the way, he fell at the door, but it was nothing, and when he entered his yard, he couldn't help crying, and then he was sick for a few days.
Feng Yuduo nodded noncommittally, and said to Wei Chang'an: "There is still something to discuss with you, and I ask you to fulfill it, brother." ”
"That's it," Wei Changan immediately patted his chest: "But where you can get a brother, just open your mouth." ”
Feng Yuduo leaned close to Wei Chang'an's ear and muttered a few words in a low voice.
"This ......" Wei Changan inevitably hesitated after hearing this: "That girl doesn't matter, it's just ......"
"Don't worry, this matter will never be quarreled about in the end," Feng Yuduo looked determined: "It's just a name, and I won't let him know." ”
"In case ......" Wei Changan was still a little afraid: "I can't afford to mess with ......"
"You can rest assured, my plan is absolutely strict," Feng Yuduo said to Wei Changan like a child: "If there is any mistake, it will naturally be on me." ”
Wei Changan thought about it, and felt that at least Feng Yuduo and himself were tied to a rope, so it should be fine, so he puffed up and said, "Okay, I'll just do what you ask." ”
