Chapter Eighty-Six: Why Not Do It
Seeing Tong Xiang's displeasure, Chu Xiao immediately took out two more masks.
"You two also have it, after all, it's better to pay attention to the gambling house."
As soon as he heard Chu Xiao say that he also had it, Tong Xiang chuckled, "Do you think I still need these?" ”
But having said that, Tong Xiang's hand had already taken it sincerely, "But seeing that this mask is quite good-looking, this girl reluctantly accepted it." ”
Xiaoqin also hurriedly took the mask, "Thank you, Young Master Chu." ”
After the group was ready, Jin Xinyuan called the little er.
Who knew that Xiao Er was even more dressed than them, if they hadn't heard the voice, Tong Xiang and they wouldn't have dared to recognize each other.
Jin Xinyuan instantly became nervous, "I just want you to lead the way, how did you make yourself look like this?" ”
"Shh
As soon as he heard Jin Xinyuan's words, Xiao Er was obviously very nervous and hurriedly interrupted him.
"Guest officer, our shopkeeper won't let us show the way for the guests, and I'm also secretly helping, don't make a noise."
"Why is that?"
Tong Xiang didn't understand that showing the guests the way would not affect their business here, and they could still make extra money, so why not?
Xiao Er sighed softly, "Some guest officers will blame our inn after losing money over there, and our boss is naturally unhappy." ”
"Then why did you agree to show us the way?"
Hearing Xiao Er's words, Jin Xinyuan couldn't help but ask.
"I don't think you are a scoundrel, that's why I'm willing to take risks."
After finishing speaking, Xiao Er looked around again, and his tone was a little impatient, "Whether you can go or not, if you don't go, I'll go back." ”
"Of course."
Jin Xinyuan didn't expect this little second to be still a quick temper, and responded angrily.
The population base of Qishan Town is relatively small, and there are almost no people on the streets at night, not even a single person who sells supper.
Walking in such an environment, Tong Xiang and they are all very cautious.
"Ladies and gentlemen, what are you looking for that Dr. Liu for, why do you have to go to such great lengths?"
While walking, Xiao Er suddenly asked.
Tong Xiang was stunned for a moment, and then responded coldly: "See a doctor." ”
As soon as Tong Xiang's words came out, Xiao Er shuddered unconsciously, he laughed awkwardly twice, and then kept silent.
When they crossed another intersection, Xiao Er took Tong Xiang and them into a dilapidated house, and when they looked up, they could still see the starlight.
"You're not going to tell me this is a gambling house, are you?"
Jin Xinyuan hates this kind of dusty place the most, and now he only feels that the air he breathes is full of dust.
Xiao Er didn't respond, he walked straight to the wall, as if groping for something.
After a while, Tong Xiang saw the south wall recessed inward, and their vision instantly brightened.
Xiao Er turned around, "I can only send you here, after you go in, it will be the gambling house, find the person in charge, explain your intention, and they will take you to the shopkeeper." ”
"Won't you take us in?"
Tong Xiang became vigilant, looked at the person in front of him and asked coldly.
Xiao Er raised his head and looked at Tong Xiang, "Miss, I only sent guests here before, besides, you can already hear the voices here, what are you worried about?" ”
Xiao Er's words are indeed true, Tong Xiang moved his ears slightly, and he could clearly hear the voices inside.
Seeing that Tong Xiang no longer spoke, Xiao Er turned to look at Jin Xinyuan, "Childe, since it has been delivered, what about this reward?" ”
Jin Xinyuan took out the silver from his pocket and handed it to Xiao Er.
"Naturally, I promised you."
After Xiao Er left, Tong Xiang's faces became serious.
"Do you think it's credible?"
Just as he was about to walk in, Jin Xinyuan suddenly retreated.
In the past, when he was doing something, there were a bunch of family members behind him, but now although there are Tong Xiang and Chu Xiao, he still has no settle in his heart.
After all, the people inside are so loud, the number of people must be superior, and they are not familiar with it here, if there is a real fight, they will not even be able to escape.
Tong Xiang stopped, turned around, and stared at Jin Xinyuan tightly, "Are you afraid?" ”
"I didn't." Jin Xinyuan immediately retorted, "I just think that Xiao Er may be a liar." ”
"Whether it's a liar or not will only be known when you go in, if you are afraid, you can wait here."
Tong Xiang's tone was light, she just wanted Jin Xinyuan to choose a plan by herself, she had to go in anyway.
Jin Xinyuan thought for a moment and took a deep breath, "Of course, Young Master Ben is going to go in with you, in case something happens to you, you have to rely on me to settle it." ”
While speaking, Jin Xinyuan had already walked behind Tong Xiang.
When passing by Chu Xiao, Jin Xinyuan patted him on the shoulder, "Chu Xiao, you stay at the end to protect us." ”
Chu Xiao looked at Jin Xinyuan's appearance that he was obviously worried about death but still had a hard mouth, chuckled, and slowly walked to the back of the line.
Walking along this path all the way in, Tong Xiang's vision soon broadened.
The atmosphere of the whole casino is very noisy, and if you don't talk loudly in the crowd, you can't hear it.
"Big, big, big."
"Small, small, small."
The gamblers at the table have pushed the atmosphere of the whole casino to the top.
Tong Xiang and the others shuttled through the crowd, not knowing who they should look for.
Just when they were at a loss, a man suddenly appeared in front of them.
"I don't know what a few people mean, aren't you interested, why haven't you seen a stroke for so long?"
Chu Xiao smiled at the man, "I don't know if I can introduce your shopkeeper, we have something to ask for." ”
Among this crowd, the three women dressed as men naturally couldn't speak, and Jin Xinyuan looked like a child, so the task of this conversation fell on Chu Xiao.
The man looked Chu Xiao up and down, the corners of his mouth slightly hooked, "Dare to ask what is the matter with Gongzi?" ”
"Find someone."
Chu Xiao didn't want to hide it, so he responded generously.
The man hesitated for a moment, then turned around, "Come with me, those guys." ”
After passing through a few more rooms, the man stopped in front of a room with a closed door, "Shopkeeper, someone is looking for you." ”
"Come in."
The man inside had a strong voice, sounding like a middle-aged man in his forties.
Chu Xiao pushed the door in, and when he saw the teenage young man sitting at the table, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.
He looked around the room to make sure he didn't find anyone else.
"Childe doesn't need to look for me, I'm the shopkeeper of this gambling house."
The boy slowly stood up, looked at Chu Xiao and smiled, and responded with a smile in an immature childish voice.
Chu Xiao stared at the person in front of him calmly, "It turned out to be ventriloquism." ”
The boy nodded slightly and walked to Jin Xinyuan's side, "The former head of Rende Hall is a distant family. ”
Speaking of Rendetang, Jin Xinyuan's face changed, and then he pretended not to care.
"You also said that they are all former family members, so this Rendetang has nothing to do with me."
The boy walked in front of Chu Xiao again, raised his head and stared into his eyes, "I don't know who Gongzi is looking for today?" ”
"Doctor Liu, who used to be on an errand in Rendetang, we heard that they came to Qishan Town with their family, but after they came, they were gone."
The boy nodded, "I've heard of this person, who didn't go home to retire, but came to our town to be isolated, and I don't know what to think." ”
"And where is he now?"
When Chu Xiao heard this, he hurriedly asked.
The shopkeeper looked Chu Xiao up and down, and snorted coldly, "It seems that the prince still doesn't understand our rules here, and there is no exchange, why should I tell you?" ”
"Is that enough?"
When Jin Xinyuan heard this, he hurriedly took out a silver ingot from his pocket.
The boy glanced at it, and the smile on the corner of his mouth carried a hint of sarcasm, "Who does Jin Gongzi look down on, and he wants to send me away with a silver ingot?" ”
Jin Xinyuan was not angry, after all, such a big gambling house naturally wouldn't care about the money.
When he was in charge of Rendetang before, he was much more arrogant than the person in front of him.
Jin Xinyuan took out a bag of silver from his pocket and handed it to the boy, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
"What about this time?"
The boy looked at the money bag, his eyes wandering, and he did not speak.
Jin Xinyuan took a step forward and stared at the person tightly, "To do business, everything must have a degree, it's not good to be too greedy, you say yes." ”
The boy took the money bag in Jin Xinyuan's hand and laughed heartily, "That's natural." ”
Taking the money bag, the boy walked out of the room and headed for the hall.
Chu Xiao and the others didn't understand what this meant, so they followed.
"The loudest screamer over there is Dr. Liu's son, if you want to find Dr. Liu, just follow him when he leaves."
Looking at the boy's line of sight, he saw a richly dressed man standing in the middle of the crowd, shouting as if he could win if he shouted loud enough.
Chu Xiao stared at the man for a while, "Does he come here often?" ”
The boy smiled, "It's a regular customer, but he didn't gamble much before, and he came back after leaving for a while half a year ago, and he didn't know where he made a windfall, and it became like this." ”
The boy snorted at the people at the table, seeming a little disdainful.
Chu Xiao smiled at the boy, "It's hard work." ”
"If there's nothing to do, I'll go first."
The boy didn't say much, turned and went back to his room.
