Chapter 156: The Mystery of the Gambling House

How can a lonely, powerless and powerless person get into the eyes of King Chang? Thinking of this, Chen Weizhi felt that he was too worried.

"Chen Langzhong still has something to ask?" Seeing Chen Wei's distracted appearance, Li Ce asked casually.

Chen Weizhi hurriedly shook his head: "It's okay, the official just asks casually, and the official will check the file in detail, so you can step down." ”

Sending Li Ce away, Chen Weizhi couldn't help laughing at himself, and he didn't know how he could easily listen to Gu Huanli's words.

On the other side, Lu Xuan left the palace and returned to the Criminal Department, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Wei Boyuan in Langzhong, the Criminal Department.

A few days ago, all the stewards of the Criminal Department were not in the house, and they were all as busy as if they were deliberately hanging Lu Xuan, and they finally saw one for her at this time.

"You are the new festival envoy Lu Xuan?" Wei Boyuan looked Lu Xuan up and down, and then asked.

Lu Xuan leaned over and saluted: "Xiaguan Lu Xuan, I have seen Lord Wei." ”

Wei Boyuan couldn't help but be stunned, he and Lu Xuan seemed to be meeting for the first time, how could she recognize his identity at a glance?

Surprised, Lu Xuan also seemed to realize his abruptness, and hurriedly explained: "The day before yesterday, when the lower official was looking through the files of the Criminal Department, he happened to see the portraits of several adults, and I hope that he did not misidentify the adults. ”

Hearing this, Wei Boyuan immediately laughed: "I see, I didn't expect that Lu Jieling would work so hard, and when he first arrived at the Criminal Department, he knew how to start with the file." ”

Hearing this, Lu Xuan seemed to have left a good impression on his superiors when they met for the first time.

However, this is not the time to be proud and complacent, Lu Xuan immediately responded humbly: "Several adults are in charge of every opportunity, and the lower officials are at a loss when they first arrive, so they can only try their best to do what they can to make the adults laugh." ”

Speaking of this, Wei Boyuan nodded with a satisfied expression, and then thought of his true purpose of finding Lu Xuan.

"Don't be in a hurry when you come back from this trip, this official will arrange things for Lu Jieling." Wei Boyuan said.

As soon as he heard that there was something to do, and finally had the opportunity to show his skills, Lu Xuan instantly lifted his spirit: "Please command." ”

"There is a gambling shop on Huashao Street, called Jubao Zhai, a few days ago was secretly reported, it seems that the steward is in the way, and has squeezed a lot of people's money with charlatanism, this matter is related to the people's livelihood, Your Majesty hopes that the criminal department will thoroughly investigate." Wei Boyuan explained briefly.

Lu Xuan instantly understood: "My subordinates will bring people forward." ”

She was about to leave, but was stopped by Wei Boyuan: "Wait, this gambling house may involve important ministers in the court, so you need to keep a low profile and not startle the snake." ”

Originally, the gambling house was a very unreasonable place, but now it can't use power to compete with it, isn't that a fool's dream? Could it be that Lu Xuan's small body went to the tiger's mouth to extract teeth alone?

Lu Xuan was secretly entangled, raised his eyes to look at Wei Boyuan, and was also full of worry, it seemed that he was also very rare about this matter.

Lu Xuan's new official took office, and she needed to show some strength to prove herself, although this trip was dangerous, but it might also be a good opportunity, so thinking about it, she made up her mind.

"Thanks to Lord Wei's trust, the lower officials will definitely do their best." Lu Xuan responded to this, Wei Boyuan breathed a sigh of relief, and reminded her to be more careful before leaving.

Having said that, but after sending Wei Boyuan away, Lu Xuan did not leave immediately, this matter is tricky, not to mention how she can compete with a group of gamblers without the strength of a chicken, even if she really has as strong skills as Gu Huanli......

"That's right, Gu Huanli!" Thinking of this, Gu Huanli's name suddenly appeared in Lu Xuan's mind.

But it was only for a moment, and after a moment, she forcibly dispelled it.

Originally, Lu Xuan's promotion to the Criminal Department was recommended by Gu Huanli, but now if she has to rely on his help to do even this little thing, I am afraid that she will have no place in the Criminal Department in the future.

Thinking about it this way, Lu Xuan racked his brains and didn't want to involve Gu Huanli in this matter anymore.

Silent for a while, as the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing the other side can be invincible, since this matter must be unaware of the ghost, and the identity must not be exposed, then this Jubao Zhai will inevitably go through it in person.

Thinking of this, it is better to choose a day than to hit the sun, Lu Xuan immediately picked up a bag of silver, changed into a gambler's dress and walked towards Jubaozhai.

At that time, Jubaozhai was very lively, and when Lu Xuan entered the door, she heard bursts of shouts like hooligans, which made her, a civil official who had been taught by elegant and righteous gentlemen since she was a child, feel uncomfortable.

But the so-called local customs, since you have come here, you have to pretend to be a gambler.

Lu Xuan immediately went upstairs to the place where he drank tea and watched gambling, thinking that he should be able to see every move of everyone downstairs clearly.

"This master looks at Miansheng, is this the first time you've come back to us?" As soon as the guys in the gambling house saw Lu Xuan, they rushed towards her.

Lu Xuan immediately pretended to be a gentleman, stepped on the bench with one foot, leaned on his elbow and nodded to the little girl:

"I heard from a few friends that you are the best gambling house in Shengjing City, and I came here today to palm your eyes."

Hearing this, the little guy suddenly smiled: "Ye is really discerning, we are indeed the best gambling house in the world, and many dignitaries and nobles are patronizing us." ”

In this way, what Wei Boyuan said is indeed right, it seems that the forces behind this gambling house are really not to be underestimated.

Lu Xuan hurriedly waved his hand to the little guy next to him: "Come on, step down, I still want to see how to play." ”

After sending the little guy away, Lu Xuan looked intently at the people downstairs.

After a cursory observation, there is nothing abnormal, it is nothing more than a man in black with an iron face next to each table, presumably sent by the gambling house to greet the gamblers at each table.

Lu Xuan carefully observed for a long time, and those men in black seemed to have nothing abnormal except for helping to gamble and collect money, but apart from them, who would make black money for the gambling house?

Lu Xuan was surprised, and suddenly remembered what Wei Boyuan said, this gambling house may be related to some dignitaries.

"Could it be that someone wants to use the gambling house as an excuse to make money for themselves?" Lu Xuan secretly kicked to himself, if this was the case, these men in black must have deliberately placed them everywhere to divert their eyes to dispel suspicions.

And those who really use trickery to squeeze money may be like Lu Xuan, who became gamblers after dressing up, and their true identity may have been charlatans.

This is a gambling house, and most of the people gathered are violent, and if the gambling fraud is exposed, it will inevitably be regarded as a street rat and chased by everyone.

Therefore, this kind of person will inevitably try his best to pretend to be arrogant like Lu Xuan deceived the little guy.

And if you want to cheat most people out of their money, this person must already have a certain foundation here.

Thinking of this, Lu Xuan immediately summoned the little guy back again: "There are too many people here, my eyes are spent, master, is there any table of guests who have been here for a longer time, so I can follow and observe?" ”

Hearing this, the little servant immediately glanced downstairs, and then pointed to a richly dressed man at the middle table: "That master, that master has been coming to us for more than half a month. ”

"More than half a month in a row? Then he is still so rich, and his family is not poor? Lu Xuan asked deliberately

Thinking that these subordinates must know nothing about the private teaching and receiving of the proprietor and the official eunuch, they will not help to hide it, since this is the case, what this little guy said has some credibility.

Sure enough, when the little guy heard this, there was a look of envy on his face, and he replied casually: "This master has the blessing of the God of Wealth, and I haven't seen him lose in our place for more than half a month." ”

In a place like a gambling house, in addition to the heart, there is also luck, but everything that is linked to luck, who can not touch a leaf?

In this way, Lu Xuan is more sure of his goal - this man who is conspicuously dressed, loves gambling, and is "extremely lucky".

"Okay, I'll take a look at it for a while, and you can stand down." Lu Xuan once again sent the little guy away, and he was preoccupied with the person he was referring to.

"Just make such a small bet, you can afford to play or not! If you can't afford to play, you can change people! The person in Lu Xuan's eyes scolded the person who was gambling in front of him.

With such audacity, it was as if he had already anticipated that he would win.

On the other side, this person trembled, and even the hand holding the silver couldn't help but tremble.

After hesitating for a while, Xu was about to fight against the water, and the man immediately supported his momentum and piled all his money on the table: "Three hundred taels!" I don't believe you've had such good luck every time. ”

This remark was undoubtedly in the hands of the villain, but he suddenly showed an imperceptible sinister smile on his face, and was instantly captured by Lu Xuan: Is he planning to cheat?

Thinking like this, Lu Xuan couldn't help but sit up straight and stare at the suspicious person, only to see him glance at the man in black behind him.

The man in black then took a step forward, pretending to be two people to gamble, but in fact, one hand had quietly reached under the table.

Before Lu Xuan could see what was going on, the gambling game had already been revealed, and the bet on that person really lost everything.

"Strange, is there a mystery under the table?" Lu Xuan secretly speculated like this.

"Who else is going to bet with me?" Fang had just won three hundred taels, and the man showed off his might, but the people around him had already retreated.

"This person's luck is too good, let's go to another table." Such voices were heard from the crowd.

It seems that he can't continue to deceive people like this.

Lu Xuan thought that the turmoil had subsided, but at this time, a brave voice came: "I'm coming!" ”

is another unjust leader who refuses to admit defeat, the formation is not small, but unfortunately the voice is not so strong, Lu Xuan can only see the back, and it seems to be very thin.

Lu Xuan was ordered to deal with Jubaozhai's fraud of people's money, and now that she has understood the mystery, she naturally can't watch someone being deceived, so she immediately walked downstairs.
