The third floor of the gambling house.

This gambling house has been open in Bazhong City for more than ten years, when I first came to the city, there were several conflicts with the other two gambling houses in the city, and a few people died, and then several gambling house shopkeepers sat together and had a few meals, and this matter was forgotten, everyone politely and steadily worked together for so many years without conflicts.

The shopkeeper of the gambling house is generally more mysterious, so the shopkeeper of this gambling house called the silver gambling house is also the same as the dragon, and even the people still don't know who its shopkeeper is.

The most seen are still a few people who claim to be housekeepers. There are at least seven or eight butlers, and even frequent gamblers rarely see a butler stay here for more than two months, basically changing every month.

Sometimes the gambler will ask you why you keep changing the housekeeper, and the housekeeper will answer that the purpose of the rotation is to give everyone a break, after all, you gamblers are too tired to serve.

The gamblers laughed when they heard this.

The county lord was on the third floor where Yan Xiaoshan couldn't go up at the moment, drinking tea and talking to the shopkeeper of this inn.

Although there were a lot of rumors outside, this shopkeeper, who was at least fifty years old and dressed extravagantly, was still a little restrained in front of the county honor, and he was uncomfortable sitting on the chair, but he didn't dare to stand up rashly.

No matter how rich you are, you still can't even sit down in front of the county magistrate.

But then again, the gambling house shopkeeper's respect for the county is not only the identity of the county honor, but also the county's silver. The shopkeeper's surname Shen, many years ago, was a green-skinned gangster in Chengdu, ran around in Chengdu and inadvertently came to Bazhong City, but he didn't expect Bazhong City to be his blessed land, he started to pay a few dollars a year for the gambling house to see the field, and then by coincidence, he actually earned hundreds of taels of silver in his own casino in just five years. Now that he had some capital, he began to lend usury, and with his experience as a gangster, the capital increased several times in a year, until finally he took down this gambling house and renamed it Silver Gambling House.

But this is just the beginning.

After that, he opened casinos all over Shudi. At the same time, he also got to know Cao County.

After being friends with Cao Xianling for a few years, Cao Xianling put 500,000 taels of silver in him and let him run it.

500,000 taels was a huge amount of money for even Shen, who was already a first-class wealthy businessman in Bazhong City at that time. That's enough money to buy everything he manages.

He didn't dare to ask for it at first, and directly told Cao County that if the money was lost, I really couldn't afford to pay for it.

And the county lord patted him on the shoulder and said, I believe in you, I am optimistic about you, it doesn't matter if you win or lose, what I bet on is that you have this ability. Don't be pressured, just do your best, and I won't blame you for the outcome.

In the end, he still accepted it, and he didn't know whether he was more moved or scared more, and he didn't know if he didn't dare to refuse.

After the county lord put 500,000 taels of silver in him, his pressure increased a lot in vain, and he began to try to make himself as strong as possible. Because if he is not strong, he will not be able to pay the interest money. And the so-called becoming stronger, that is, at least every year, the 500,000 taels can earn profits, with the county lord is very conscientious, he will pay 60,000 taels to the county lord from the first year, if the county lord does not get back the interest, still put it in the original principal, and add up to the new principal, then he will have to give more interest money the next day.

Although the burden was heavy, when she really began to work hard for it, he found that it was not difficult.

It can even be said that it is too easy to make just one profit a year. It is not difficult to do what is right or what is not right.

So for more than ten years, he has been afraid and grateful to the county. What I am afraid of, of course, is the increasingly powerful power of the county lord, and I am grateful that if there is no county lord, he cannot develop so rapidly, and there are more than twenty gambling houses he has opened in the entire Shu region.

He was known as the king of gambling houses by the gambling industry in Shu. It means the boss of the industry who specializes in opening gambling houses.

"You have earned a lot of money over the years, and you have earned a lot of money for me, and I have to thank you. The county lord took a sip of tea and said casually.

Shopkeeper Shen stood up suddenly, bent over and bent to almost ninety degrees, his back was sweaty and wet: "Big... My lord, where are you talking? If the small ones are not cultivated by adults, why do they have today, if adults have to say this, the small ones can only be determined by death. As he spoke, his eyes turned red.

"I'm kidding you. The county lord smiled: "No one suffers from us, no one takes advantage, and the cooperation is happy." My capital has already been recovered, and now even if you lose it, even if I don't want it, it's nothing. ”

"My lord, you can just say what you want to do, don't beat around the bush like this. If you need all the small net worth, you can say it now, and I will give it to you tomorrow. Shopkeeper Shen knelt down, like a child who had made a mistake, and he didn't know what mistake he had made, and he didn't know what kind of punishment he was about to face.

Lord Xianzun smiled, stood up and walked to the shopkeeper Shen, looked at the half-hundred men kneeling on the ground, and said, "I heard that you have a lot of relationships in the underworld, what are the relationships with me?"

Shopkeeper Shen's brain was spinning rapidly, but he still had no clue, so he could only answer honestly: "My lord, the villain knows the most and the most ironclad is the Cao Gang, and I know Yan Xiaoshan, the helmsman of the Cao Gang in Bazhong City, and I have eaten a few times, and he trusts me very much." In addition, in Chengdu, I also know the leader of the Red Leaf Gang. He didn't know what Lord Xianzun was asking for, but the only thing he could do was tell the truth, and he couldn't hide it in the slightest. He thinks he is a smart person, since he is a smart person, he can't do what a stupid person does, for example, pretending to be a ghost in front of Cao Xianzun and not telling the truth, in Bazhong City, the county lord has 10,000 ways to kill him. So he had to tell the truth. Both realistically and emotionally. Emotionally, he is grateful to the county honor, and he will not hide it from the county lord.

He was talking about the two hardest gangs he knew and could use. As for the other small gangs that are not worth mentioning at all, he doesn't have to say anything.

"What does the Red Leaf Gang do?" asked the county honor, he really hadn't heard of the Red Leaf Gang, he must have known about the Cao Gang, the top ten gangs in the world have rudders everywhere in the country. But he had never heard of this red leaf gang before, and it was from Chengdu, so far away from Bazhong City.
