Chapter 44: I'm just here to make money
Although she has been in the capital for a short time, she has really come into contact with very few people, and it is really difficult for her to find a goal of 'robbing the rich and helping the poor' with a clear conscience.
Taijing's wife and brain-impovered son had already left Jiang Guo and went to Beiyan, and Taijing's mansion had temporarily become an empty house, and the subordinates in the mansion had also been dismissed, no one cleaned it, and it was covered with cobwebs, and it was obviously impossible to have any more valuable objects.
Since she wants to 'rob the rich and help the poor', of course she has to choose the most suitable target.
Although because of the checks and balances of the Xuanzheng Division, Gu Shiyan basically didn't do anything in the capital, but she also had an investigation secretly, and there was also a list from Yanzi Town, she and Li Mengzhou also interrogated many people, but most of them were outside the capital, and there were some people on the list who were in the capital, and they never had a chance to move.
Now, here's your chance.
Gu Shiyan's first target is a gang in the capital.
The capital of Jiang Kingdom is full of cultivators, but there are also people in the rivers and lakes, who can run gangs in the capital, and must also have some connections, otherwise they will inevitably be destroyed by Langya Jingzhao Mansion in one fell swoop.
Gu Shiyan should not care about this.
Since the leader of the gang appeared on the list, the people behind him were bound to be inseparable from the people loyal to Taijing, and they must also have great power in the capital.
If you can take the opportunity to involve the people behind the scenes, it can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.
The gangs are in the outer city, and they don't do anything in the capital at ordinary times, they are nothing more than running some gambling houses and restaurants, saying that they are gangs, but in fact, to be more precise, they are just a tool to help people collect money.
Tianxing Casino is a very large gambling house in Langya Outer City.
It is undoubtedly a good place to go here to 'rob the rich and help the poor'.
Of course, Gu Shiyan doesn't know how to gamble, but she can use a sword to kick the hall.
At the last moment, the night has completely fallen, and the Tianxing Gambling House is crowded with people, noisy, and there are all kinds of people.
As soon as Gu Shiyan came here, she attracted the attention of many people.
After all, Gu Shiyan's temperament doesn't look like someone who will come to the gambling house at all, not to mention that she still has a sword in her hand.
At most, the gamblers glanced at them curiously, and some dirty thoughts came to their minds, all from their eyes and expressions.
And the people at the Star Casino are very cautious.
Although it is a gang in the rivers and lakes, the leader of the Tianxing is not a pure Jianghu person, but a cultivator, and there is more than one cultivator in the Tianxing.
Even if there are no strong people in the Tianxing Gambling House, they can still see Gu Shiyan's identity at a glance.
It is not uncommon for a cultivator to appear in a gambling house.
When even if someone reports upwards.
And there were also people in the Tianxing Gambling House who walked towards Gu Shiyan.
"It's the first time the girl is here, what do you want to play?"
Gu Shiyan said lightly: "I'm here to make money." ”
"The people who come to our Tianxing Casino all want to make money, and the main thing is to see if the girl has the ability to win silver. ”
Everyone in the world knows the truth of nine losses in ten bets, but there are still many people who are addicted to this, in the final analysis, they are those who refuse to face reality and daydream every day, and the people in the gambling house like such fools the most.
Gu Shiyan said coldly: "The sword in my hand can help me win." ”
She didn't mean to hide it at all, and directly stated her purpose.
Although the people in the Tianxing Gambling Workshop had long been suspicious, they were still very surprised when they heard Gu Shiyan's words, even if they knew very well that Gu Shiyan was a cultivator, but they Tianxing Gambling House was not something that any cultivator could bully, and their faces became ugly for a while, "The girl is trying to deliberately find trouble?"
Gu Shiyan said calmly: "I'm just here to earn silver." ”
"Use the sword in your hand to make money in the gambling house?"
"That's right. ”
"That girl might as well say that she wants to rob it openly. ”
"This is the capital, you have to be reasonable in doing things, who stipulated that you can't use a sword to make money in the gambling house?"
Gu Shiyan directly pulled out the sword from the sheath, put it on the other party's neck, and said, "Now, can you take out the silver?"
The people at the Star Casino were completely stunned.
Isn't this an open robbery?
A group of people walked down from the second floor of the gambling house at this time.
"Your Excellency wants to make trouble in my celestial star, have you ever thought about what the consequences will be!"
Gu Shiyan said impatiently: "I'm just here to make money, you rob and rob at every turn in your mouth, do you often rob other people's silver?"
The person who came down from the second floor was the manager of the Tianxing Casino, and when he heard this, his face became solemn, and he said: "Girl, do you ever know that trouble comes from your mouth? Don't frame it at will! Our Tianxing Gambling House is a serious business!"
Gu Shiyan said disdainfully: "Can the gambling house still be a serious business?"
It's really hard to say whether the gambling house is a serious business or not, after all, it exists in the capital, but it is obviously not appropriate to say how serious it is.
The steward of the Tianxing Gambling House didn't have the heart to argue with this, he looked at Gu Shiyan coldly, and said, "The girl is determined to fight against my Tianxing Gambling Club?"
Gu Shiyan's expression did not change in the slightest, and said: "I'm just here to make money, I don't mind saying important things a third time, you just need to remember this." ”
The steward of Tianxing Casino narrowed his eyes, he didn't understand what Gu Shiyan meant, he kept emphasizing that he was here to make money, and he wanted to self-deny the fact that he was looking for fault?
If it is a serious guest who comes to the casino to play, the Star Casino really can't do anything blatantly, although they claim to be a serious business, but the eyes of the government have been staring, even if there is someone behind the Star Casino, they can't rely on these to be unscrupulous, otherwise they don't need the government to take action, they themselves will be finished.
Although there were many people present who could prove that Gu Shiyan came to rob Ming, this kind of thing obviously had no way to go to the government, so it could only be solved in private.
So the steward of the Tianxing Gambling House no longer bothered about whether Gu Shiyan was here to make money or to rob it, he slowly raised his hand, stared at Gu Shiyan with cold eyes, and said: "I have never heard that a cultivator will come to find trouble in a small gambling house, but even if you are a cultivator, my Tianxing Gambling House will not be afraid of you." ”
The people who came down from the second floor with the steward were all cultivators.
As soon as the steward's words fell, they raised their eyebrows and approached Gu Shiyan.
And the guests in those gambling houses were not flustered, but were very interested in watching the play on the side, after all, the people who often soaked in the gambling house were not good goods, and the scenes of fights and troubles were difficult to scare them.
However, these people in the Tianxing Gambling House obviously thought things too simply, they only sensed the identity of Gu Shiyan's cultivator, but they didn't know how strong Gu Shiyan was at all.
Although there are a lot of cultivators in the Tianxing Casino, they are all wild cultivators, and they can't be on the table at all, even if there are more of them, there is no point in them.
They quickly recognized it.
The sword in Gu Shiyan's hand was already out of the sheath.
Indeed, she came to earn money, not to kill.
The purpose of choosing Tianxing Gambling House is because they definitely don't dare to make trouble in the official mansion, Jingzhao Mansion and Xuanzheng Si will not intervene, although the leader of the Tianxing gang is also on the list in Yanzi Town, but Gu Shiyan doesn't want to make things too complicated, otherwise once she digs a pit and jumps in, it will really be dead.
She wouldn't make the same mistakes that Li Mengzhou had made.
After it is clear that Tianxing Casino will not and does not dare to make trouble to the government, then Gu Shiyan does not need to have any scruples.
Besides, she's just making money, and she's not just here to kill.
Li Mengzhou is not in the capital, she must be very cautious when she is alone, and it is only because the leader of Tianxing is on that list, and she can't make money in Tianxing Casino, so is it difficult to find someone else?
Even if you don't kill the leader of the Heavenly Star for the time being, you have to let him break some money first, and you have to let him eat Coptis chinensis dumbly, and you can't say anything about your suffering.
Of course, Gu Shiyan also wants to destroy the Tianxing Gang directly, although it is very easy, but it is difficult to solve the trouble afterwards, even if it may startle the snake, but if you can lure the people behind the scenes, it is not a bad thing.
Moreover, Gu Shiyan is just here to earn money, and she herself is a cultivator from the Western Jin Dynasty, as long as she does not commit major crimes in the capital of Jiang Kingdom, she really can't cause any big trouble.
She is now in a situation where she can advance and retreat, even if there is a worst result, she can protect herself, it is worth taking this risk to lure the people behind the scenes out, even if she can't lead it out, she has at least earned enough money to help Aunt Feng, no matter what, it will not hurt her.
Even if he was arrested once by the Xuan Zheng Division, but in fact, even if Li Mengzhou didn't ask Jiang Tingyu for help, the Xuan Zheng Division couldn't do anything to Gu Shiyan, they targeted Li Mengzhou, and Gu Shiyan was just in passing.
At this time, Gu Shiyan's sword was still on the neck of someone in the Tianxing Gambling House, and those wild cultivators were also forced over.
Gu Shiyan didn't do it directly, but stared at the gamblers in the Tianxing Gambling House, and said with a cold expression: "For the sake of your own safety, it's better for you all to go out." ”
The gamblers looked at each other.
Although they didn't mind watching people fight, they were also afraid of harming the pond fish, and they all clearly heard that this was a battle between cultivators.
Without hesitation, they poured out of the Star Casino.
Soon the gambling house became empty.
The steward of the Tianxing Gambling House sneered and said, "Even if you drive them all out, but they have all witnessed the previous events, this move is a bit of a cover-up." ”
Gu Shiyan said lightly: "But they also understand that I am here to make money, and it doesn't matter what happened before, as long as they don't see the process, then their words will not play a role." I'm sure you won't dare to say anything, because you'll soon understand. ”
As soon as the words fell, the sword in Gu Shiyan's hand was handed out.
