"Big brother, why did you end up here?" Miao Cha asked Lu Jie with doubts.

But Lu Jie just shook his head and didn't pay attention to Miao Cha.

Miao Cha saw that there were always people coming and going at the door of the gambling hall, and knew that now was not the time to ask Lu Jie.

took Bai Ling'er and found an inn near the gambling hall to stay, and waited until the evening to find an opportunity.

In the middle of the night, Miao Cha ordered some wine and food, and ate slowly with Bai Ling'er in the inn.

"Ling'er, you will wait for me at the inn later!" Miao Cha saw that it was getting late outside, and it was time to act.

"Miss, be careful!"

Bai Ling'er knew that she didn't know martial arts, and if she went, she would only become a drag on Miao Cha.

Miao Cha quietly came to the outside of the gambling hall and found that the business of the gambling hall was still so good at night, and it could be seen that the people of Yuecheng were playing on gambling.

Seeing this scene, Miao Cha could only wait outside the gambling hall for a while, looking at Lu Jie still standing at the door of the gambling hall with a depressed and sluggish face.

It wasn't until late at night that the casino closed. Lu Jie also turned around and took his big knife and walked towards the place where the servants in the backyard of the gambling hall were resting.

I saw Lu Jie slowly come to the door of the firewood room in the backyard of the gambling house, push open the room full of firewood, and then directly find a relatively clean place to sit down and rest.

Miao Cha saw that the gambling house was closed, so she also followed Lu Jie to the firewood room.

"I can see that you are a martial artist, why did you fall into guarding the gate for others?"

"Hehe, it's you, girl." Lu Jie saw that it was Miao tea, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile.

"Girl, you don't have to waste your time, you can't save me."

"Why, if you can save it, you can't save it, how can you know if you don't try?" She's not the kind of person who throws in the towel at every turn!

Miao Cha asked Lu Jie with doubts: "I think you should tell me first, what is the reason why you owe the gambling hall two thousand taels?" ”

The purpose of Miao Cha's visit this time is mainly to understand why Lu Jie fell here.

Lu Jie couldn't help but recall the happy and happy days when he and his childhood sweetheart Pu'er were together.

"Girl, have you ever loved someone?"

"Not yet!" Thinking of the legendary love, Miao Tea yearns for a while.

Lu Jie said with emotion: "If you haven't loved someone, of course you won't know what it's like to be betrayed by your beloved." ”

Miao Cha knew that Lu Jie was going to elaborate on a long past, so he stood aside and listened carefully.

"My name is Lu Jie, and Pu'er has always been a childhood sweetheart, and later in order to better protect her, I went to the Sword Pavilion to learn martial arts." Lu Jie recalled what had happened before.

"But she didn't expect that she would marry Ma Quan, a local official, with the help of her parents."

Speaking of this, Lu Jie couldn't help but have a hatred on his face, as well as a trace of unwillingness.

"When I heard the news, I rushed back and wanted her to give me an explanation, but she actually came with that Ma Quan to frame me." He recalls being framed by his beloved, and his heart still aches.

"She deliberately brought me to this gambling hall to gamble, saying that I could win a lot of money, so that her parents could agree to the two of us together."

"As a result, Ma Quan and the casino owner have already colluded and want to frame me? And I didn't know that I still had the hope she gave me. ”

"As soon as I entered the casino, I won less and lost more, and before I knew it, I lost more than half of what I had."

"But in order to be with her, I let go and don't believe in evil! I fought several times with the people in the gambling hall, and finally lost a lot. ”

"Gambling hurts people, I guess they should be out of the way." Miao Cha listened to Lu Jie's narration and said with emotion.

Lu Jie: "Yes, I didn't want to gamble when I found a problem, and wanted to leave, but I was suddenly knocked out from behind." It wasn't until I woke up the next day that I found that I had an extra IOU of two thousand taels of silver in my hand. ”

"I was not convinced and wanted to report to the official, but the people in the gambling hall kept claiming that I did owe them a gambling debt of 2,000 taels. Even Pu'er was there to testify against me at the gambling hall, and I was so disheartened when I heard her accusations against me. ”

"A woman's heart, a needle under the sea!" Miao Cha suddenly remembered Lan Feng in Miao Mansion, isn't it also so vicious?

Lu Jie continued: "Then Ma Quan took the opportunity to charge me, and after I couldn't pay off the debt with 2,000 taels, he asked me to be a guard in the gambling hall to pay off the debt. ”

"However, when I was guarding the door at the gambling house, she married the horse right a few days later."

"My heart aches because I was betrayed by my beloved. I didn't want to struggle more, so I stayed in the gambling house as an unintentional gatekeeper. ”

"Then why don't you run away, don't you know martial arts?" Miao Cha wondered what made a man who knew martial arts willing to be trapped.

Lu Jie said angrily: "Run away, if I run away, they will definitely be bad for my family." Anyway, my heart is dead, so I might as well be a gatekeeper here, at least I can keep my family safe. ”

"Are you willing to fall here for the sake of a woman who betrayed you? Don't you want to see how she's doing now, don't you want to regain her freedom and put your family at ease? ”

Miao Cha looked at Lu Jie, who had been immersed in sadness, and wanted to wake him up.

"Your family, are you willing to watch you fall so hard for a woman?"

Although Lu Jie had resentment in his heart, his feelings for Pu'er were still there, and he couldn't help but look up at Miao Cha.

"How is she now?"

Miao Cha said lightly: "How is she, you have to see for yourself!" ”

"But how can I leave now?" Lu Jie owes gambling debts to the gambling house, and he is afraid that if he leaves, his parents will be implicated.

"Don't worry, there will always be room for things to turn back."

Miao Cha carefully persuaded him: "You stay in the gambling hall first, and I'll go back and think of a way to see how I can save you from leaving?" ”

"Thank you, girl."

Lu Jie thought about his family and Pu'er, who had betrayed him, and suddenly had the motivation to leave the gambling house.

"You're welcome!"

After that, Miao Cha carefully evaded the guards of the gambling hall and returned to the inn.

In the inn, Bai Ling'er, who had fallen asleep, was awakened by the sound of Miao Cha opening the door, but when she opened her eyes, she found that Miao Cha had returned.

"How's Miss?"

"This matter is probably a bit tricky, and we have to think of a way." Miao Cha knew that if she wanted to save Lu Jie, she had to settle the gambling debt of 2,000 taels.

"I believe in Miss, Miss has always been my idol." Bai Ling'er patted her ass on the side.

Miao Cha: "Sleep tonight, I'll talk about it tomorrow." ”

"Mmmm, that's what Miss said."

The next day, as soon as the morning dawned, Bai Ling'er pestered Miao Cha and told her what she had found out last night.

After listening to this, Bai Ling'er slapped the table and said angrily: "Miss Lu Jie is really pitiful, that Pu'er is too bad." ”

Miao Cha sighed: "Yes, if you don't meet the right person, you will encounter the wrong thing." ”

Bai Ling'er asked, "Then what are you going to do, Miss?" ”

"I'll go to the gambling house first to see if I can find a breakthrough, you better wait for me at the inn." The gambling hall is a mix of dragons and snakes, and it is not suitable for a little girl like you. Miao Cha felt that he should try it at the gambling house first.

"Well, miss, you're pretty, and you're right to say anything." Bai Ling'er hurriedly agreed.

After Miao Cha ordered some breakfast and finished eating with Bai Ling'er, he strode towards the gambling house.
