The most prosperous area of the night market in Fuxu Town is not on the shore, but from a tributary of the South China Sea of Fuxu Port to the area in the center of the city, Xiaonanhai. Rather than a sea, it is actually a man-made lake, named after the neighboring South China Sea.

The decoration of the boats on the shore of the stone steps of Xiaonanhai is very different, but they are all extremely luxurious, presumably to attract many wealthy merchants and nobles in the city. Even in the middle of the lake, there are a few brightly lit boats roaming at will, as if unwilling to dye the surrounding dust and debris on themselves, like the hibiscus out of the water.

Along the way, Zhang Mingzhi sent away the servants he followed first, stood under the trestle pavilion in Xiaonanhai, stretched out his hand and patted Ding Li's shoulder, muttered for a moment, and sighed pointedly: "Hey! Ali! Look at the fat in front of you! Soon, it will be swallowed by our South China Sea Gang, and at that time, just relying on the painting boat on this shore, it will be no problem to make money every day! ”

Hearing this, Ding Li was shocked, at a glance, although the area of Xiaonanhai is not vast, and even the opposite shore can be seen at a glance, but there are hundreds of painting boats inside and out, if you can really pocket all the business of painting boats, Ding Li firmly believes that what Zhang Mingzhi said about the daily progress of the gold is not an exaggeration, thinking of this, Ding Li also secretly smacked his tongue, I didn't expect Zhang Mingzhi's appetite to be so big.

"Righteousness! Didn't you say to eat? Why are you talking about business again? Behind her, Zhang Yurou pouted dissatisfiedly, and glanced at Ding Li on the side, as if the reason for all this was caused by Ding Li.

"What's the rush to eat? Now that you're here, can you not let Ali see the real three-regardless realm of our Fuxu? Zhang Mingzhi replied with a smile, but when he looked back and saw Zhang Yurou dressed in men's clothes, he still had a headache, even Ding Li and Zhang Wu didn't expect that the other party said that they still had a set of clothes to go out turned out to be a woman dressed as a man.

However, Zhang Yurou's dress, almost as long as she is not blind, can see the clues, the clean and flawless pretty face may be due to the waist-length hair being deliberately tightened to look a little less feminine softness, but it also adds a sassy that should not belong to the daughter's body, and the whole person is not only beautiful now, but also handsome.

"Brother Li, our Xiaonanhai has four uniques, wine, meat and wealth!" Zhang Wu lost no time in whispering in Ding Li's ear, as if he was afraid that Zhang Yurou on the side would hear it, his voice was extremely low, and even Ding Li had to concentrate: "Wine and meat, this place is quite average!" But when it comes to wealth, it's definitely top-notch! The latter, in particular, is guaranteed to keep you coming back for more! ”

"Hmph." Ding Li snorted lightly, shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and didn't know if he was disdainful of what Zhang Wu said, or if he was still resentful of the other party's previous calculations. Seeing this, Zhang Wu was immediately unconvinced, stretched out his hand and pulled Ding Li's sleeve, and his voice raised a little while holding his neck: "Brother Li!" Don't believe me! Right in front of you, do you see? These painting boats, just go up to one, and the girls in them can pick out a handful, although it is not a country and a city, but it is definitely the best in this world! ”

Hearing this, Ding Li didn't make any reply, but the moment he turned his head, the slight smile that looked at Zhang Wu revealed a thick banter, and even mixed with a little pity.

"You, why do you think of me like that?" Being a little weak by Ding Li's gaze, Zhang Wu subconsciously asked, and then he chuckled in his heart, forgetting that there was a Zhang Yurou next to him who was dressed as a man.

"Zhang, Wu." Like the call of hell like a demon sound, Zhang Wuden was a spirit, and when he turned around, he just met Zhang Yurou's eyes that were like two unsheathed swords, Zhang Yurou at this moment was frosty, gritting her teeth, and she seemed to want to kill Zhang Wu directly with her eyes.

"Sister Rou, I, I..." Seeing this appearance, Zhang Wu was so frightened that he didn't know what to say, he stretched out his hand and kept pointing at Ding Li, racking his brains before he had a flash of inspiration, and hurriedly explained: "Brother Li is here for the first time, I'm here, isn't this to introduce Brother Li to the customs and customs of our Fuxu Town?" ”

"It was better to do so!" To Zhang Wu's surprise, Zhang Yurou didn't continue to care, but just glared at herself threateningly, gritted her teeth and dropped a sentence fiercely.

Zhang Wu didn't understand why Zhang Yurou suddenly seemed to have changed her personality, but she knew that what happened just now was deliberate by Ding Li, and was about to turn her head to settle accounts with Ding Li, but Ding Li stretched out his hand to pull Zhang Wu closer, and asked with a curious smile: "Brother Wu!" I understand the latter, after all, I'm also a man! And what about the former? Wealth? Is it possible to earn a few copper plates? ”

Looking at Ding Li's smiling eyes that you and I both know, Zhang Wu suddenly put the unpleasantness just now behind him, and his enthusiasm was rekindled, but his eyes looking at Ding Li were full of contempt, and he snorted coldly in his mouth, and the corners of his grinning mouth hung with thick disdain, and his eyes squinted at Ding Li: "Hmph!" Brother Li! I said you're a hillbilly! How many copper plates do you earn? You know the copper plate! But it's not your fault! ”

As he spoke, Zhang Wucai slowly put away his contempt for Ding Li, stretched out his finger and pointed to a few three-story painting boats that were two or three feet tall and decorated with extraordinarily luxurious decorations, and patiently explained to the 'hillbilly' beside him: "See? Those few painting boats are not only the three floors that seem on the surface, but there is also a layer below! The ones you see on the surface are places to eat, drink and have fun, and the bottom is a gambling house! Every night here, I don't know how many people make money to be able to buy a three-entry mansion in Guangzhou! Of course, gambling, there are wins and losses, in fact, there are many gamblers who commit suicide by jumping into the river here every night, and there are even some businessmen who have a good family background! ”

"Hey! Ten bets and nine losses, how can there be such a good thing in the world, unearned and unreliable! Ding Li shook his head and sighed lightly, living so big, Ding Li has almost never been in contact with gambling, but he has also witnessed many people who have gone bankrupt because of gambling, even in the slum where Ding Li lived in Guangzhou before, I remember that a competent gambler nearby once sold his wife as a daughter, and the final outcome was not only as easy as bankruptcy, because he owed usury to the gambling house and hid in Tibet, it is said that his body was finally found by a tributary of Guangzhou Port.

However, Ding Li also learned about the four uniques of the Xiaonanhai from Zhang Wu's mouth, thought about it, quickly followed Zhang Wu in front, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Wu!" Could it be that our Zhang Chamber of Commerce also has a gambling house? ”

As he spoke, Ding Li glanced at Zhang Mingzhi, who was walking in front, and added: "Also, second brother, is he okay?" This is not a serious business, and it is not the same as our Zhang family's style! ”

"No, our second brother is not interested in this, besides, our Zhang's money is so easy to win? Which casino is not a bit boring? It's just fooling those laymen, even if they know, everyone is actually playing luck, after all, the people who can get in, which one doesn't care too much about money! Of course, there are some gamblers who are exceptions! Talking about his master, Zhang Wu immediately shook his head with a serious face, and after explaining, he cast a disdainful look at Ding Li and snorted coldly: "Brother Li! Don't be silly! What is a Merchant? It's profitable, so what's not the style? Our Zhang family just generally doesn't wade into this troubled water, after all, our Zhang family has a reputation, and we have to pay attention to the impact on some things! ”

"That's the same, it's mercenary!" Ding Li immediately nodded in understanding, thinking that there was another celebrity who said that capitalists would take risks if they had 50% profits. With 100% profits, you dare to trample on all the laws of the world. With a profit of 300 percent, you dare to risk the gallows!

Immediately, Ding Li thought of Zhang Mingzhi's words under the pavilion on the trestle just now, and pulled Zhang Wu to ask with a puzzled expression: "Brother Wu, but I listened to the words of the second brother just now, which seems to mean that I have thoughts about this business now?" ”

"That's it! But this is not the second brother's original intention, it can be regarded as forced! Zhang Wu nodded, but he didn't forget to defend his master, then looked at Ding Li's puzzled gaze, shook his head helplessly, sighed lightly and continued to explain patiently: "You don't know these things yet!" Recently, in order to expand its power, the Cao family has extended its hand to the area of Xiaonanhai! According to the news a few days ago, the biggest force here, Hua Lao Wu, has reached some kind of agreement with the Cao family in secret! You also know that the Cao family and our Zhang family have reached the point where they are incompatible, and we will definitely stop what the Cao family wants to do! What's more, this piece of meat is really fatty! If our Nanhai Gang can win it, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort in terms of expanding its power! After all, the most important thing to feed so many brothers below is money! ”

"That's it, I see!" Ding Li now understands that it is reasonable for two completely opposing forces to do such a thing, thinking that Grandpa Mao once said, then whoever does what, we must not agree or even try to prevent that person from doing it.

However, Ding Li frowned slightly, and continued to ask in a low voice: "Isn't that asking me to develop the power of the South China Sea Gang here in Fuxu Town?" Moreover, it seems that my opponent has changed from Liu Sanye to this flower fifth! ”

"What do you think? The name of the South China Sea Gang was originally intended to help Xu! Could it be that he is guarding the small wharf of Guangzhou Port? Zhang Wu glanced at Ding Li with some displeasure, and then shook his head to correct the mistake in his words: "But you said it wrong later, your opponent has not changed, but increased!" After all, the main forces of the Teochew Gang are here! Moreover, here, it is not only the Chaozhou Gang and Hua Lao Wu who are facing it, but also the Shibo Sitian family and the Cao family! ”

"You and your second brother believe in me too much, right?" Hearing this, his body was violently shocked, and Ding Li, who was not prepared for this kind of thinking at all, was surprised, but he didn't expect Zhang Wu to nod with a smile on his face, and then patted Ding Li's shoulder, and said in a solemn voice: "Brother Li!" Anyway, I'm optimistic about you! I believe in you, you can do it! ”

"You believe I've got a piece of!" Ding Li opened the other party's hand with a disgusted expression, pursed his lips dissatisfied, and then looked up at the few light boats on the shore, stretched out his hand and rubbed his chin, thinking of something.

pondering while walking, after a while, Ding Li slowly raised his head and looked at the painting boats again, his eyes flashed, the corners of his mouth hooked a confident arc, and he snorted coldly: "Aren't they just a few broken underground casinos?" Lao Tzu still can't serve you? ”
