Chapter 384: Gambling
It is said to be an underground gambling house, but it is not underground at all, rich and extravagant, this can almost be said to be the largest painting boat on the Qinhuai River in Jinling, looking from afar, it seems to be a rich mansion in the Qinhuai River.
Following the rest of the steward, he walked on the painting boat under the guidance of the beautiful maid. Because the painting boat is huge, it is naturally more stable than ordinary boats, not to mention that there are no major winds and waves in the Qinhuai River.
Jin Ling Fengyuedi, naturally, prostitutes are used on many occasions, not to mention, this is originally a gambling meeting, and it is naturally normal to call prostitutes to help the fun.
There are many prostitutes dancing on the bow of the boat, with a slender appearance, these female prostitutes are not cheap, and it costs a lot of money to be invited here, so many people are looking here, Wei Yaoqing hurriedly glanced at it and retracted her gaze.
"You're steady." The steward Yu who walked ahead sighed and seemed quite satisfied.
It was a misunderstanding, the reason she wasn't interested was because she was a woman, and that's it.
Walking into the painting boat, it is a world of difference, the same extravagance and splendor inside, just table after table of gambling tables, and the sound of people around the gaming table and the sound of pai gow and dice, all of which always make people feel a kind of miasma.
The steward really didn't play, and without even looking at it, he led her through the crowd to the second floor of the painting boat.
After entering the door, there is obviously no smoky miasma like the first floor, but there are a lot of calligraphy and paintings hanging in the room, and a few men who look elegant or amiable are commenting on the paintings.
Steward Yu stepped forward with her and walked over: "Brother Shen! ”
The man who looked the most elegant, with a long beard, seemed to be a great Confucian somewhere, looked up: "Yu Haochen, are you here?" What do you think? Are you still used to living? ”
Steward Yu didn't introduce anyone to her from beginning to end, but Wei Yaoqing knew this man. This elegant-looking man is now the richest man in Jinling, Shen Zhi. It's not a small person, I didn't think about it originally, but now I saw that Steward Yu brought her to see him, but it made Wei Yaoqing remember: This richest man in Jinling is not a native of Jinling, his ancestral home is Ludi, and he was an out-and-out Lu businessman at the beginning.
Looking at this group of people here, it is obvious that the smoky underground gambling house downstairs must have their share.
It's funny to say that most of the biggest bosses behind these gambling houses never go to the table, or they gamble too, but they don't bet on this.
"Thank you Brother Shen for taking care of me, I was attacked on the way, lost two truckloads of goods, and lost a lot of swordsmen, if it weren't for Brother Shen, I wouldn't have slowed down so quickly."
"Yes, I am also a member of the Lu Shang Gang, and I am also a Lu person, so naturally I should help, you are polite." Shen Cheng stroked his long beard and said, "We're talking about this painting, the ...... about the truck."
Before he finished speaking, he saw the attendant on the first floor hurriedly come up and report: "Master Shen, someone is making trouble, and if you are in a hurry, you can't get the money." ”
"Who?"
"Master Wang in the east of the city lost 30,000 taels."
Thirty thousand taels, Wei Yaoqing frowned when she heard it: This is not a small amount!
"Can't really take it out?" Shen asked.
"Everything in the field and house has been staked, and there is still a gap of 20,000 taels."
"This is difficult," Shen Cheng said with emotion, "I have always felt that ordinary gambling houses are the most important thing to cut off people's hands and feet, the body is skinned, and the parents are affected, how can such a bloody and poisonous method be used?" If you don't come out yet, you just have to find another way, right? ”
A few people on the side said yes again and again, and said with emotion, "It's still Shen Ye's kindness"!
"So be it! I remember that Master Wang has several daughters, who are born like flowers and jade, and if you train them well, you will definitely make a difference, and 30,000 taels is not a difficult thing! Shen Zecheng said, "Come on, go to Master Wang's house and invite a few young ladies from the Wang family, when will it be paid off, and when will it be too late to release a few more young ladies." ”
Sure enough, it's not a fuel-efficient lamp. Well-doer? How can there be such a good man? Wei Yaoqing glanced up at Shen Zhicheng, and when she saw Shen Zhicheng, she sighed with emotion: "This is already the biggest concession for me, who makes Master Wang unable to control it!" So, he's to blame himself for this. ”
Those who opened underground gambling houses lamented that gamblers couldn't control it. The so-called cat crying rat is nothing more than that!
After saying that gambler, Shen Zhi turned the topic to Steward Yu: "Haochen, I didn't say you this time, it's really not good to do things, if you prepare a few more cars, won't there be no such thing?" ”
"Time was tight, so I only had time to prepare two cars." Steward Yu bowed his head and said.
Wei Yaoqing knew that it was useless to prepare a few cars, and they would all be robbed. And looking at the questions and answers of the two people in front of her, she already had a guess in her heart, I'm afraid that Shen Zhicheng was the one who transported the two giant crossbow machines away!
The richest man in Jinling, crossbow machine, Southwest Army. It's really a big ambition, does he want to be the second to Lu Buwei?
"Prepare more next time."
"Yes."
Shen Zhicheng nodded, his eyes fell on Wei Yaoqing behind Steward Yu, and after a while, he looked away and suddenly said, "How about we also gamble?" ”
The few people around Shen Zhi's side began to panic, and even the Yu steward's face changed instantly.
Shen Zhicheng smiled and said: "Don't worry, don't worry, it's just that I suddenly have some curiosity about which kid is the best among the boys who came with us?" Do you want to compare? ”
The few people around Shen Zhicheng suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, just don't have to come out yourself.
Steward Yu glanced at her and turned sideways: "Do you know how to water?" ”
Wei Yaoqing immediately shook her head. Whether it will be or not, it will not be said for now.
Steward Yu understood what was going on, and said, "Brother Shen, this kid behind me doesn't know how to water." ”
"Eh, there are times when everyone can't." Shen Zhi smiled and waved his hand, "It will naturally be at that time." Haochen, it's rare for everyone to be interested today, don't spoil the fun. ”
"But......" Steward Yu seemed to want to speak, but Shen interrupted him with a loud voice: "How do you know if you don't try?" Why don't you do that," he paused, and said with a smile, "if he agrees, the wagon affair will be written off, how about it?" It's all up to providence. ”
Steward Yu glanced at her, but this time he didn't ask her what she meant, sighed, and nodded in response.
Wei Yaoqing is not as afraid as Yu Guanshi, she knows water, and her water nature is not bad, but she guessed something from those few sharp words, such as sending masked people to chase her down, it is likely that this Shen Zhi is the one who sent the masked man to hunt her down.
Steward Yu approached her and took a deep breath: "There are some things I have tried my best. You can just leave after you get in the water for a while, I've got you covered. His life is not in his sights for him, this time it should be just a whim. But that's fine, if he doesn't pursue it, you can rest assured."
Wei Yaoqing glanced at him, followed by a few servants who were taken to the bow of the boat, and then were pushed and fell into the water.
It's really a tiger falling in Pingyang and being bullied by dogs! She gritted her teeth and struggled for a moment to please some of the people standing at the bow of the boat, and then she sank into the water, holding her breath, and swam into a group of boats carrying passengers not far away. 2k reading web
