Chapter 50: The Casino Lighthouse (Seeking Follow-up)

The four cards of pai gow in front of him have been opened in pairs, Hua 12 itself will not be pai gow, but accepted Shen Chongyang's memory, saw that two were four points, made up the 'bench' in pai gow, and the other two made up 'miscellaneous eight', these two pairs of cards in his memory are obviously not good cards.

Sure enough, the dealer laughed and opened his two pairs of cards, the first pair was a club, and the two points of the last pair made up the red head in Pai Gow:

"Plum blossom cover bench, red head wins miscellaneous, all killed!"

The dealer laughed, not because he had won, but because it was finally over, and he stretched his waist and shouted:

"Call it a day!"

Hua Twelve didn't feel lost either, and got up to leave.

The dealer shouted behind him: "Brother Chongyang! ”

Hua Twelve turned his head to look, and the dealer looked at him and said earnestly:

"You run here every month when you pay your salary, and you lose every time, do you know what those regulars who come to gamble call you behind their backs?"

Hua Twelve couldn't help but wonder: "What do you call me?" ”

The dealer said a little helplessly: "You know the bright light of the casino, it is the kind of weather vane that he bets on big, others bet on small, and then others are allowed to win, and he specifies the kind of vane that loses." ”

Hua Twelve smiled: "You mean I'm the casino light?" ”

The dealer shook his head and said: "No, no, you are called the 'casino lighthouse' by those frequent gamblers, and it will never be extinguished in the dark." ”

Hua Twelve couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, and couldn't help laughing, it turned out that Shen Chongyang was an upgraded version of the bright light, so what kind of gamble was it for this luck.

When the dealer saw him laughing, he thought he was laughing at himself, and immediately sighed:

"Others gamble, some say that they lose more and win less, and some say that they lose nine out of ten bets, although they lose money, there is always a time to win, Brother Chongyang, you obediently hand over your salary on this day every month, rain or shine, you have never won, I heard that you have even been a quilt at home in the past two days!"

"Our owner has been open for more than 20 years gambling stalls have always been ruthless, and I feel unbearable after listening to your things, let me advise you, a small gambling pleasure, always leave some money to live."

Hua Twelve raised his eyebrows: "Then you will give me some money back today?" ”

"Phew, think beautiful!"

The dealer took the money and shouted, "Close!" ”

A few dozing guys all heard the sound and lazily began to clean up.

Hua Twelve smiled, took out a pack of cigarettes without a filter in the pocket of his coat, lit one, bit it in his mouth and went out.

Out of the door of the casino, there are no skyscrapers on Hong Kong Island in the future, only low-rise houses, and western-style buildings with two or three floors at most, and the atmosphere of the old times is blowing in your face.

In the memory that Hua Twelve had just received, it was just June, and there were still four months before the start of the plot, which was enough time for him to make some preparations.

The so-called preparation, of course, was not to get involved in the matter between the Qing court and the revolutionary party, but to prepare to take back Shen Chongyang's daughter.

It is said that he should go to Li Yutang's house to pick up his daughter right now.

can be according to the task received by Hua Twelve, first of all, he must mix up his personal appearance before he can pick up his daughter.

Speaking of which, this is reasonable, ask yourself why he is going to argue with a wealthy businessman on Hong Kong Island at this time, just because he is now a poor and white, bad gambling Chinese policeman!

Before Hua Twelve entered the world of this mission, he checked Li Yutang's information, and his prototype in history is not to say that he is the richest Chinese in Hong Kong, but it is almost the same, at least the existence of the same level.

Li Yutang himself is the insurance king of Hong Kong Island, and his insurance companies are located all over the ports of the Qing Dynasty and the Nanyang Islands.

In addition to the insurance industry, he also founded two major medicinal herb stores, Jinliyuan and Shuiliyuan, and made money every day, and also did a grain business in Henan and founded an electric power company in Guangdong Province.

Such a huge rich, Hua Twelve wants to come to the door now, and tell Li Yutang that the daughter born to your fourth aunt is actually mine, you are actually a pick-up man, and now I want a daughter, you have to give it back to me, if you don't give it, you can't do it.

If he really said that, then he probably didn't know how he died.

Therefore, Hua Twelve felt that if he wanted to talk to such a huge rich, he had to have an equal status.

Fortunately, there are still a few months left, and he will use this time to prepare well, and when the time comes, he will take his daughter back to raise him openly.

Hua Twelve took a deep breath of the fresh air that had not been polluted in this era, and his mood became better.

According to Shen Chongyang's memory, today is his off-duty, so he gambled all night, and immediately walked back to his small second floor.

A wooden bed with no pillows and no quilts, and the pillows and quilts were taken and pawned in my memory.

Two shabby-wood chairs that didn't look very stable, and a wooden table covered in clay.

The ground was littered with peanut shells and cockroaches, and the peanuts were a filial tribute from the cripple Zhang at the grocery store downstairs to thank him, a neighbor who was a Chinese policeman, for saving him from being harassed by the ruffians.

From the point of view of taking care of the neighbors, Shen Chongyang is not bad.

Hua Twelve was a little worried, this house can't be lived, the cockroaches on the ground are alive, and they don't have the experience of sleeping in the garbage heap for two months, which is really unaccustomed.

I wanted to go outside to find a hotel, but I touched my pocket and smiled wryly.

Not a penny.

wanted to go out to borrow some, and then he found in Shen Chongyang's memory that everyone who could borrow had borrowed it, and now his friends were hiding when they saw him, even the colleagues he had made in the past were far away from him, for fear that he would open his mouth to borrow money.

"It's really a penny that is hard to beat a hero!"

This body stayed up all night, and now sleepiness hit, Hua Twelve had to make do with sleep on the stool, and this sleep lasted from day to night.

'Squeak'

The sound of the door ringing woke up the sleeping Hua Twelve, and he turned his head sleepily to see the door behind him being pushed open, and a thin black man wearing a black coat with a kerosene lamp walked in.

Seeing Hua Twelve turn around, the corners of the man's mouth raised, and he chuckled:

"Went gambling again yesterday?"

When he spoke, he had already walked in front of Hua Twelve and put the kerosene lamp on the table, but when he saw the environment in the room, he couldn't help frowning, and his face showed disgust: "Can't you clean it up?" ”

This person's name is Hou Sheng, and he was the one who connected Shen Chongyang and the Qing court in the original plot.

However, in the movie, this Hou Sheng scolded Shen Chongyang without any respect.

Hua Twelve could also know from Shen Chongyang's memory that Shen Chongyang hated this Hou Sheng very much.

In Shen Chongyang's memory, Hou Sheng was originally a member of Hongmen in Gangfu, and was driven out of Hongmen because of his mistakes, and then took refuge in the Qing court to find out news for Tartars in Gangfu.

And it is such a person who is currently Shen Chongyang's food and clothing parents.

The reason is that Shen Chongyang, who has become impoverished due to gambling, is acting as an eyeliner for this guy in order to make some extra money.

Hua Twelve shook his head, he hated Shen Chongyang in his heart, it was contemptible enough to be a lackey for Tartars, but you are a lackey of a lackey, this is a bit too much.

Hou Sheng saw that he was stunned, as if he was used to it, and he didn't care, he still asked with a mocking smile:

"Yesterday was payday, and you lost again?"

Hua Twelve nodded, took out another cigarette and lit it for himself, took a deep breath, and asked with Shen Chongyang's way of coping in his memory:

"What are you looking for me?"

Hou Sheng did not answer his words, but looked around, and his mouth was full of words:

"It seems to be missing something from the last time I came, hey, it turns out that you used all the futon!"

After he finished speaking, he showed a look of hatred and said:

"I want you to be a three-time martial arts champion in the Hong Kong Island police world, you are still a big-headed green shirt after so many years, and the more you mix, the more miserable it becomes, you look at Smith, two or three years earlier than you entered the industry, you can't fight, so you become the assistant of the Central District Police Division, and become the boss of your top boss!"

Hua 12 knew that Herbert was the role played by Zeng Zhiwei, and the assistant in the police force was the meaning of 'inspector' in Hong Kong films.

Hou Sheng probably enjoyed this kind of arrogant appearance, and when he said this, he even pointed his finger at Hua Twelve's head:

"This person, you can't make it to fight and kill, you have to use your brain!"

After he finished speaking, he saw that Hua Twelve's face showed anger, and he spread his hands:

"I'm kind enough to say this to you, but it doesn't seem to be useful, because you don't have a brain, ahahaha......"
