The building is three stories high, and it is not at all the same style as the large but only one-story building in front of it for people who don't have much money to gamble.

Although this building is not very magnificent, it is considered decent in any way, which means that there may be such a house in the mansion of a wealthy family. It is not as good as earth, nor is it inlaid with gold and jade, nor is it towering, nor is it magnificent. But he's in good order. In it, you can do a study or a guest room, or a loft.

When Yan Xiaoshan stepped on the roof and felt the thick tiles under his feet, he knew that in this gambling house, this building is the main place, or rather, this is where this gambling house specializes in making money.

Just like many gambling houses that Yan Xiaoshan has seen, it is relatively easy to earn money from the rich, but it is too difficult to scavenge oil and water from the poor.

As soon as Yan Xiaoshan fell to the roof, he walked to the shady side of the roof, so that it was not easy to be discovered by the people downstairs...

Half an hour later, Yan Xiaoshan reappeared in this gambling house dressed properly, wearing a more luxurious but not too ostentatious clothes. At the same time, his face has been changed.

He was very disguised, pretending to be a wealthy businessman about fifty years old. His face was full of weather, but his beard was quite thick and black.

When he spoke, even his voice became much thicker.

He stood in front of the building again, and took out three hundred taels of silver from his bosom.

The doorman made a respectful gesture of please.

The merchant, with a Northwest accent, pushed the door open and entered.

After entering, Yan Xiaoshan's eyes were directly met by gambling tables, and there were many people sitting or standing around each table. The difference is not too big from those outside for the poor to gamble, and I am afraid the biggest difference is that there are many more waiters standing next to them.

Yan Xiaoshan looked at this table and looked at that table, but did not start.

And there are really a lot of such people in this, as if the people who come here have more money in their hands means that they are more savvy, and the direct result is that they will not start easily, and they will only do it if they are guaranteed.

In fact, most of the people here think so, and they all think they are very shrewd.

Yan Xiaoshan walked around for a while, shook his head, and walked to the second floor. The second floor was different, there were no gaming tables, just a few waves of people playing all sorts of strange things. For example, let two rabbits fight, for example, let two toads run faster than whom, and even drink faster than chickens and ducks.

The few things going on here are pretty boring anyway, but the bets keep going. Bet on which rabbit will win the fight, and which toad will run fast. That is, although the bet is not Pai Gow dice, etc., but the bet is still betting, the method is different, and the bet is still silver.

"That's okay, I really admire you, what kind of fetish are these. Yan Xiaoshan muttered, looking at the people here all look normal, how can they gamble so much?

Then after a while, he continued upward.

But on the stairs leading to the third floor, he was stopped.

"This brother, I can't enter the platform, I'm sorry. "Guard.

Yan Xiaoshan said: "Why? How much silver do you need to get in to get in? 1,000 taels?"

The guard smiled and said, "That's not it. The above is our shopkeeper's visitor, not a place to gamble money, you want to gamble big and small, you choose. "Pointing to the second floor, pointing to downstairs.

Yan Xiaoshan sighed and said no more.

On the second floor, he watched other people's rabbits fighting and toad races, and after watching the meeting, he said to a big fat man next to him who blocked the toad race for fifty taels of silver: "This seems to be quite interesting, why don't I get some more?"

The big fat man glanced at him, wiped the sweat on his head because of the encouragement of the green-backed toad all the time, and said, "If you want to go down, hurry up, you see that there is only a little bit of leakage left over there, and I won't give it down immediately." ”

Yan Xiaoshan turned his head and saw that there was only about half a pillar of incense left for an hourglass.

Hurriedly took out ten taels of silver from his arms, the green-backed toad that was the same as the big fat man's press.

"Brother is smart, a wise move. The big fat man nodded, and then continued to cheer up his favorite toad.

After a while, the winner was decided, and the green-backed toad had always been in the lead, but when he was about to reach the exit, he suddenly stopped and shouted a few times, but was overtaken by another toad next to him and lost. The big fat man snorted, and his meat hand slapped it on the table, but he shrank in pain: "It's really unlucky!"

Of course, the big fat man lost and Yan Xiaoshan lost, Yan Xiaoshan said: "The daughter is scattered and comes back, don't worry, the next one will definitely win." He patted the big fat man on the shoulder, and then Yan Xiaoshan walked downstairs.

On the first floor, he bet a few more and lost thirty or forty taels, then sighed a few times and left the gambling house. The group of people who passed by and were still gambling on a few copper plates said hello. The group of people stared at each other and didn't know who it was, but seeing that this person was dressed luxuriously and magnificently, they didn't dare to slack off, and they all stood up and responded. After all, Yan Xiaoshan was dressed ordinarily, at most like an ordinary person, but now his appearance, clothes, and even temperament have all changed drastically.

Yan Xiaoshan smiled and left the gambling house.

In fact, when Yan Xiaoshan first entered the gambling house, he climbed from the treetops to the roof of the building that could only be entered for a hundred taels of silver, and walked around the roof for a long time, but he didn't find the way to go down, that is to say, with his martial arts, he couldn't climb down from this building that looked ordinary, but the roof design couldn't be turned underneath at all.

So he left the gambling house, changed his clothes and went in again, and went in with the silver in the open.

And this time he gained a lot, although he still didn't see the county lord, but he thought that his estimate should not be much different from the truth, the county lord was on the third floor nine times out of ten.

As soon as he left the gambling house for the second time, Yan Xiaoshan began to use the network of the Cao Gang to inquire about the boss behind the gambling house. and told Feng Shan and Li Xuan'er the situation directly.

Originally, Yan Xiaoshan just reported the news to Kong Lao and Shan Lao, but the second elder felt that it was better to connect directly with the Feng leader, so he introduced him to the Feng leader, and the Feng leader simply asked Li Xuan'er to meet him directly.

So this is the first time Yan Xiaoshan has met Mrs. Chen Gongzi.

"Are you the supreme person in charge of Bazhong City?" Li Xuan'er said.

"Mrs. Hui, it is exactly below. Yan Xiaoshan bowed his head and replied.

"I hear you have important news, say it. Li Xuan'er said.

"Yes. Yan Xiaoshan nodded, and said what he found today without any concealment, including the situation of the owner of the gambling house that he sent someone to check in the end.

Li Xuan'er thought for a while and said, "Do you suspect that the county order has colluded with the owner of the gambling house?"

Yan Xiaoshan said: "Yes, the county order must be on the third floor of that gambling house, and secretly discuss something with the owner of the gambling house or borrowing that place." At this critical time, the county magistrate, who has never gambled money, must have a purpose in going to the gambling house. ”

Li Xuan'er thought quietly for a while, and then said, "Since you have sent someone to investigate, presumably with the power of your Cao Gang, you will soon have a result, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?"
