It's still the capital.

It's still the Lee Mansion.

The difference is that this luxurious mansion is now empty and unpopular, with two white seals crossed on the door.

Let the pedestrians who walk by the door subconsciously look at it twice, or point and point, or avoid it, lest they get into bad luck.

"Eh, such a good house, why is it sealed? It's really blind, what did this family do? A passerby asked.

"Who knows? However, it is said that the person who replied was ......" raised his palm with some scruples, blocked it in front of his mouth, and lowered his voice.

"It's a great crime to assassinate the emperor."

"Oh, I see."

"I said you have a weird accent, where are you from?"

"Well, I'm from Persia."

"Wow, Persia."

"It's a long way off."

"Tell us what is the wonder of your Persian kingdom...... Hey, what about people? ”

When the people around him turned around, they found that the Persian who had just asked the question was gone.

"Looks like you're heading to the gambling house over there?"

"Casino? Haha, it turns out that this Western Regions people are also good at this. ”

"Haha."

…… Passers-by erupted in laughter.

Isn't every move of a foreign person always very coke in the eyes of the Chinese?

There were even people who had enough to eat, and in order to have fun, they deliberately followed the Persian to the gambling house.

Silver Hook Casino.

The hook dangling in front of the door, glowing with a cold metallic hue in the sun, was even more terrifying to look at than at night.

The inside of the gambling house is even more scary.

More than a dozen people crowded around the steward, and the steward was surrounded by water, as if they were afraid that he would run away, and at the same time, they all held up the notes, and rushed to hand them to the steward, shouting in their mouths.

"Redeem the money."

"Redeem the money."

"It's mine."

"Give it to me first."

"Why, I came first."

"Just because Lao Tzu's fist is bigger than yours, get out of the way."

…… These people are all a minority faction that suppressed Ximen Blowing Snow in the gambling game, and now they have won, they are ecstatic, and they rushed to the gambling house to exchange money as soon as possible, only a dozen people, and the disturbance is about to catch up with hundreds of people, and it looks like it is about to evolve into bloodshed.

"Everyone, it's okay to exchange money, but it's okay to make trouble." Bluebeard walked out of the inner hall of the gambling house, and said a word, which made the people who were about to fight suddenly calm down a lot.

Bluebeard said a word, then ignored it and walked to the other side of the lobby.

At this time, people found out that there was still a person in the lobby of the noisy gambling house, staying in the corner, not noisy, not fighting, not grabbing.

It was Li Yang.

As if he had completely forgotten last night's duel, he pulled an ordinary passer-by who even the author didn't want to describe too much, and chatted leisurely.

"We are the Persian country, with a vast territory and a ...... population"

"Ahem." Bluebeard walked up to this man and coughed lightly, interrupting Li Yang, who was talking about "how is our Persian country?"

Li Yang's attention shifted from passerby A to Bluebeard.

Bluebeard immediately had a smile on his face, and he habitually clenched his fists in salute.

"Redeem the money." Li Yang opened his mouth to say these two words.

"......" The smile on Bluebeard's face was a little frozen, and his fist-hugging posture was also stuck in half.

"Redeem the money." Li Yang is still these two words.

“…… Speak quickly, okay, come with me. Bluebeard silently withdrew his hands, feeling that it was purely superfluous to be polite with Li Yang or something, and led the way directly and led Li Yang to the side hall.

As for the passer-by, after watching the fun and satisfying his curiosity, he went back again.

Inside the side hall.

"What? You repeat. Li Yang, who was happy to exchange money, was drooping at the moment, and his tone was full of unkindness.

"It's the same a few times." Bluebeard's tone was as polite as ever, and the content of his speech was not polite at all.

"I accidentally caught fire last night and burned down." Just a fluttering sentence.

"Just that coincidentally, only burned mine?"

"It's such a coincidence, it only burned yours."

Li Yang naturally couldn't be sent away like this, "What about the money you won from betting?" ”

"They all burned down with it."

Burnt?

Why don't you just grab it?!

"I have your notes written in black and white." Li Yang took out the note he was carrying from his arms and raised his beard.

"Haha......" Bluebeard suddenly laughed, with the beard on his chin, shaking wildly, not even looking at the note.

"Then you can take this note and go to the government to sue me, haha."

Li Yang was silent for a moment, then suddenly tore up the note, sprinkled the crumbs on the ground, and then squinted at Bluebeard, "Want to slander me?" ”

Bluebeard shook his head, "How can this be a lie?" ”

He asked triumphantly: "Do you know what the hook hanging outside the door of the gambling house means?" ”

Li Yang really gave face, and followed his words and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

"Those who wish take the bait."

"The gambling houses in the world are like this, and I'm already enough to preach morality."

After that, Bluebeard didn't bother to look at Li Yang again, turned around and walked out of the side hall.

Outside the side hall, I don't know when, there were already two mighty men standing, and as soon as they saw Bluebeard coming out, they immediately came up.

"Hall Master."

Bluebeard nodded slightly, "Be clean." ”

"Yes."

The two mighty men took the order, and with a hideous expression, entered the side hall.

Bluebeard didn't even look at it and walked away.

A merchant from Persia can make waves on his own territory.

And before he started, he also personally investigated, and there was no record of Alibaba in the government at all, what does this mean?

It shows that this Alibaba was smuggled in.

What is there to fear of a smuggled merchant?

Not to mention smuggling, even if it is not smuggling, even if there are some forces in Persia, separated by thousands of miles, what use can it be?

"Persia, the mountains are high and the roads are far away, not to mention just a merchant, even if the Persian king comes, I dare to eat you." Bluebeard snorted proudly and came to the inner courtyard, ready to hug his concubine first and sleep beautifully.

Push open the door.

What caught his eye was not his concubine, but his evil star.

--Li Yang.

Li Yang, who should have been disposed of by his subordinates, was sitting in the master seat at the table in the middle of the hall at the moment.

And Bluebeard's concubine was lying on the bed behind the curtain in the inner room for a nap, and she didn't notice that there was an outsider in this room.

Bluebeard's heart suddenly tightened, and his tone sank, "I didn't expect that there were also high-ranking people among the Persian merchants, and I actually looked away." ”

"You're still wandering." Li Yang said inexplicably.

He had sensed Bluebeard's murderous intentions, and it was clear that Bluebeard had seen that his men had not succeeded, and wanted to kill him himself.

So, Li Yang stood up.

A chilling murderous aura, like a sharp sword, pierced Bluebeard on the opposite side.

What a scary guy!

I maybe, not an opponent!

This guy is going to kill me!

Bluebeard couldn't tell at a glance the level of Li Yang's martial arts, but from the momentum that Li Yang revealed, he could already see that he was not an opponent.

For a while, the fighting spirit was dispelled, and the fear was numerous, and the killing intent in Bluebeard's heart came and went faster, and he couldn't help but retreat back under his feet.

One step, two steps, three steps...... Retreat all the way into the courtyard.

Li Yang still stayed in the house.

Continue to retreat.

Just quit and go.

Bluebeard took advantage of this opportunity and continued to retreat.

One-step, two-step, three-step...... Slowly, cautiously, don't dare to be fast, don't dare to be slow, for fear that between the pace and rhythm changes, there will be flaws.

After a while, he retreated outside the courtyard, through the hall, to the gambling hall hall, where the door of escape was close in sight.

Escape is hopeful!

Bluebeard ignored everyone in the hall and ran headlong towards the door.

At this time, a person happened to walk in from outside the door, stretched out his hand to Bluebeard who ran over, and said lightly:

"Redeem the money."

It's Li Yang again!

"You're cashing money, aren't you? Please please show me your note. The beautiful maids who were in charge of greeting on both sides of the door said respectfully.

"Notes?" Li Yang's tone was slightly strange.

"It's a note." The beautiful maid thought that he didn't hear clearly, so she repeated it again.

Li Yang glanced at Bluebeard, who was frozen there, as if he had been hit by the immobilization method, and said, "I accidentally caught fire last night and burned down." ”

"Burn...... Burned? Mei Wan didn't expect Li Yang to say this at all.

Moreover, the notes are all burned, and you are still shouting to redeem the money?

Speaking of which, what's going on with your bland tone? The notes are all burned, aren't you in a hurry?

Li Yang asked very seriously at this time, "Can you still redeem it?" ”

The notes are all burned, and you are still thinking about redeeming money? What do you think.

The beautiful maid secretly slandered in her heart, and her mouth couldn't help but be a little tough, "I'm sorry, guest, the note is burned, then the money can't be redeemed." ”

"Redeem!" A voice suddenly floated behind the beautiful maid.

It's Bluebeard.

Mei Wan bowed her head respectfully, "Boss, his note has been ruined." ”

She thought that Bluebeard hadn't heard the conversation between herself and Li Yang just now.

After all, the world is as black as a crow, and without a written certificate, which boss would be willing to pay for it.

But I heard Bluebeard still say: "Yes." ”

When he said this, the whole person remained motionless, his eyes were fixed on Li Yang, like a prey targeted by a fierce beast, frozen in place.

“…… Be. Although Mei Wan wondered how the owner had changed her sex today, as a subordinate, she naturally had to do it.

took Li Yang to the steward to settle the gambling money, and the people around him were amazed by that scene.

"No note, pay back the money? Isn't this Bluebeard wronged? ”

"What do you know, this is called great benevolence and righteousness, and I am really right to invest my money here."

"Don't be greedy or rob, Bluebeard is a true gentleman."

…… Listening to the compliments around him, Bluebeard barely managed to squeeze out a smile on his face.

Under Bluebeard's personal orders, the gambling money was quickly settled, Li Yang patted his chest that was a little bulging because he was carrying a large number of silver tickets, quite satisfied, and finally glanced at Bluebeard again.

"The one who wishes to take the bait, I didn't force you."

After speaking, ignoring Bluebeard's almost green face, he strode out of the gambling house.

Come out on the street.

People come and go on the street, the sun is high in the sky, and it is a good scene in the world.

Li Yang walked on the street, carrying a silver ticket in his arms, holding a silver hook in his hand, turning his fingers from time to time, and the silver hook swirled around his fingers.

In this way, I walked all the way through the streets and alleys to the city gate.

At the gate of the city, several heavily armed soldiers, lined up in two columns, stood in front of the city gate, strictly searching the people who came in and out, one of them, holding a wanted portrait in his hand, staring at his eyes, and every time he passed, he would bow his head and compare the wanted portrait in his hand.

In the open space on the left side of the city gate, there is one more camp tent than before, and there are dozens of soldiers in the account, still fully armed, as long as there is any change at the city gate, they can rush out of the camp at any time to support.

Looking up again, there was a bloody human head hanging on the gatehouse at the head of the city.

It was the old eunuch Wang An!
