Treasure Shop is a well-known gambling house in the East City, and it is rumored that the owner behind it is one of the four great gentlemen in Kyoto, Pei Jianlai, the third son of the Marquis of Dingyuan. So much so that although countless people look at this gambling house that is making money every day, they can only sigh at it, and they don't even dare to open a new gambling house within five miles of the treasure square to grab business with it.

In addition to its strong background, there are other reasons why Treasure House is thriving.

For example, the latest gambling methods, beautifully made gambling equipment, beautiful and lovely maids, uniquely designed layouts, etc., all form an irresistible attraction to the gamblers around them.

In addition to the above-mentioned hardware, the Treasure Square has an unwritten rule that makes it stand out from the crowd of gambling houses in Kyoto.

That is, anyone who enters the gambling house will be protected by the gambling house. Whether you are being chased and killed, or being chased by officials, as long as you step into the door of the gambling house and have money to bet on you, then the gambling house will dare to keep you safe.

If you're lucky enough to keep winning and don't take half a step out of the casino, the casino will always protect you.

But if you're unlucky and lose all your money quickly, then sorry, the thugs at the gambling house will politely throw you out the back door. As for whether it's a knife-wielding killer or a chain-wielding catcher waiting outside the back door, it depends on which way you provoked the gods before.

Dayan Kyoto is known as the city that never sleeps, and the treasure shop is also open for twelve hours a day, and those who come do not refuse.

The curtain of the door of the gambling house was opened, and Hou Chunhua and Yu Liheng, another catcher from the Immortal Division, held the handle of the knife and walked in with a serious face.

There are a lot of gamblers in the gambling house, and a few new gamblers who are not familiar with this place immediately looked a little flustered when they saw the soap clothes on the two of them, and the old gamblers next to them just glanced at the two, sneered disdainfully and continued to focus on the gambling table.

Several tall gambling house thugs also saw the two, but they didn't make any moves, and then turned away after sweeping their gaze.

Whether it is the Kyoto Prefecture or the Ministry of Justice, it is not uncommon for the officials to be bored on duty or not have time to change into regular clothes after being on duty, and they wear soap clothes directly and come to gamble with a saber on their shoulders.

But Hou Chunhua and Yu Liheng are not here to gamble today, and after Sen Leng's gaze swept around, he finally fell on a black-faced man who was betting on dice.

"Lao Hou, it's him."

Yu Liheng said in a low voice.

"Let's go!"

The two went straight to the black-faced man, but halfway through the journey, they were stopped by a steward of the gambling house.

"The two poor masters looked at each other, but they had to play a few hands. Our host has a rule that anyone who comes here for the first time will give ten taels of gambling books. ”

After that, Xiang Chunhua and Yu Liheng each stuffed two small ingots in their hands.

After stuffing the ingots, the steward's expression changed instantly.

"Our host also said that everyone is welcome to come here to relieve boredom and play, but if you want to find trouble, hehe."

The gambling house steward did not speak thoroughly, but the meaning of the sneer was very obvious.

Hou Chunhua took the two small ingots handed by Guo Liheng, spread out his palm, put the four ingots in front of his eyes, and sighed after taking a closer look.

"It's such a big deal, and I will have twenty taels of silver in my pocket casually."

"If the two poor masters don't have the interest in betting on the two, they can also leave now, these are regarded as meeting gifts, but only this time, there will be no next time. And the rule of our gambling house is that no matter whether you have money or not, as long as you enter the door, you must at least gamble. Hey, hey, of course, this time it doesn't count. ”

"Oh, this is the first time I've heard of such a rule. But I wondered, how can I gamble if I don't have money? ”

"There is always a life if there is no money, as long as the customer dares to take the table to place a bet, we dare to take it."

The steward said proudly.

"Well, good rules. But our brothers are not interested in gambling, and you can take these silver taels back. I'm here today just to take someone away, and it won't affect your business. ”

Although Hou Chunhua was very reluctant in his heart, he still pretended to be unmoved and returned the four ingots to the steward.

The conversation here attracted the attention of the surrounding gamblers, and they all looked this way, and among them was the black-faced man.

Hou Chunhua was talking with the gambling house manager, but Yu Liheng's eyes were always on the black-faced man.

The black-faced man turned around and met Yu Liheng's gaze, and a panicked expression suddenly appeared on his face, and then he thought that this was in the treasure shop, and he was afraid of a bird's egg.

And I just handed in two new goods with excellent appearance last night, and I have enough money in my pocket, and I have a lot of luck today. As long as you don't make big bets and play slowly, it shouldn't be a problem to mess around here for three or five days.

Thinking about the joints clearly, the panic on the face of the black-faced man receded, and instead sent Yu Liheng a provocative look.

What can you do with me!

Yu Liheng was indifferent to this, still staring at him coldly.

"This poor master, it looks like you're here to find fault. You don't listen to it, where is the owner of our treasure shop. Miss your face, give you a chance, take the money and get out of here, otherwise you will pick up your skin and chop it up and feed it to the dog, believe it or not. ”

The gambling house steward's face instantly became gloomy, and he threw the four ingots into Hou Chunhua's arms and said intimidatingly.

Hou Chunhua didn't pick it up, and the four ingots jingled and fell to the ground.

"Hehe, Ben Catch also gives you a chance to see what these two words are pronounced."

Hou Chunhua took off the bronze medal hanging on his waist and held it up in front of the steward and said.

"Immortal Division..."

The steward looked confused for a while after seeing the three characters engraved on the waist card, and then came to his senses and grabbed Hou Chunhua's collar and roared.

"What kind of bullshit yamen, I haven't heard of it, you dare to fucking play Lao Tzu, see if Lao Tzu doesn't today..."

"Hey, don't be impulsive. It doesn't matter if you don't know him, go and ask the person in charge of you, if you don't even know him, then leave without saying a word. Hey, hey, hey, but it's hard to say what the consequences will be. ”

Hou Chunhua's calm and calm performance made the steward feel a little weak, and after hesitating for a moment, he let go of Hou Chunhua's collar, beckoned a few thugs to let him watch the second arrest, and hurriedly ran towards the back of the gambling house.

After just a moment's work, a handsome maid with a pretty face and a graceful figure came to Hou Chunhua and bowed slightly.

"Steward Chen has invited the two of you to talk about it in the backyard."

"Old wait, I'm afraid it's a fraud!"

Yu Liheng reminded in a low voice.

"Hmph, Liheng, remember, this time is different from the past."

Hou Chunhua smiled proudly and pulled Yu Liheng to follow the maid.

When he came to the backyard of the gambling house, Steward Chen stood at the door of an elegant room with a smile on his face, and after seeing Hou Chunhua and Yu Liheng, he nodded and invited the two into the house.

It is in stark contrast to the previous arrogant attitude.

"Before, I was so small that I offended the two poor masters, and I hope that the adults have a lot of don't be surprised."

Entering the elegant room, Steward Chen invited the two to sit down, first apologized, and then personally brought a tray covered with red cloth and placed it on the tea table between the two.

The red cloth was lifted, revealing the shiny silver ingots inside, neatly stacked.

"Hey, hey, a little careful, please let the two poor masters smile."

Hou Chunhua only swept it with his afterglow, and he had already calculated the value of this ingot. Twenty taels per ingot, a total of sixteen ingots, a total of three hundred and twenty taels of silver.

"Well, since Steward Chen is so sincere, I will hand over this friend of yours to Hou Chunhua."

Hou Chunhua smiled and nodded.

Hearing this, a hint of mockery flashed in Steward Chen's eyes.

The world is as black as a crow, and the errand is even darker than a crow.

"However, friends are friends, and I can accept this heart. Official business is official business, and people still have to be taken away. ”

Just when Steward Chen thought that the matter was settled, Hou Chunhua took him off guard with a change of words.

"Ahh This one... This one... It's not in order. ”

Steward Chen showed an embarrassed expression.

"Rules! I am always waiting for you to be a friend of the steward, so I kindly remind you that the rules must always be subordinated to the law of the country. Give you a cup of tea time to think about how to choose Steward Chen. ”

After that, Hou Chunhua no longer paid attention to Steward Chen, and put the silver ingots on the tray into his arms one by one as if no one was around.

Steward Chen obviously knew from above about the prestige of the Immortal Division in Kyoto City, and even the boss of his own proprietor, Chang Yanei, the head of the four great gentlemen, was forced to come to the door to reconcile, why did Treasure Fang fight with others.

But if he is allowed to take away the guests of the gambling house like this, the prestige and credibility that the treasure house has accumulated over the years will also be gone, and the loss caused will not be a small amount of thousands or even tens of thousands of taels.

In the face of Hou Chunhua's coercion, Manager Chen was sweating in a hurry, and after thinking about it for a long time, he really thought of a compromise.

"Two poor masters, or else..."

Seeing that the two catchers who were obviously coming for him were taken to the backyard, the black-faced man only felt very happy in his heart.

This treasure shop is really a good place, and it seems that I will visit more in the future.

But for now, it's only right to leave as soon as possible, otherwise it won't be a trouble if you are blocked by those two catchers one after the other. There is no reason why it is impossible for me to stay in the gambling house for the rest of my life.

Even if you are willing, the gambling house will not do it.

Thinking of this, the black-faced man was about to pack up the silver he had won and was ready to run away, and he was not ready to ask for the bets he had already bet.

"Buy and leave, open!"

At this moment, the dealer at the table shouted and lifted the lid of the dice cup.

"Three-five-five, big!"

The black-faced man cleaned up the silver taels, and then roared with joy on his face.

"Win! Win! Hahahaha, lose money, lose money, lose money, hahaha. ”

Watching the dealer push the bet in front of him and double, the black-faced man got a little carried away.

Take advantage of today's hot luck, bet on two more hands, and leave immediately regardless of whether you win or lose.

The thought rose in my heart, and the palm of my hand had already honestly begun to bet.

"Three sixes, leopards!"

"Haha... Hahaha... Win again! Win again! ”

After winning two in a row, the black-faced man had long forgotten about running away, but a quarter of an hour later.

"One-two-two, small!"

"it, why are you carrying it like this."

The black-faced man cursed in a depressed whisper, and his palm touched the table in front of him to start betting, but it was empty as far as he could reach.

I looked down in shock, but found that the silver taels that had been piled up like a hill a quarter of an hour ago were gone.

Lost?

So fast!

The black-faced man suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and finally remembered the two previous catchers in his mind. Immediately hurriedly fumbled all over his body, even if he turned out a few more copper plates, it would be good.

But the thugs of the two gambling houses had already come behind him and stared at him coldly.

"I don't have any money."

After the black-faced man touched his whole body without taking out half of the copper plate, a thug asked jokingly.

"Wait... Wait... Wait a little longer, I remember that there is still silver, but I don't know... Oops... Let go of me, I still have money..."

In the exclamation, the black-faced man was picked up by two thugs, one left and one right, and walked towards the backyard.

The back door of the gambling house was opened from the inside, and the black-faced man flew out of the door and landed in a long-lost dog-gnawing mud style.

The black-faced man who was smashed to pieces finally woke up, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Hou Chunhua and Yu Liheng standing in front of him, looking at him condescendingly.

"Hey... Hey... Ask the two poor masters... Say hello. ”

"Stand up."

Yu Liheng shouted coldly.

The black-faced man obediently obeyed his orders, and his waist stood straight.

Syllable!

As soon as the black-faced man stood firm, Yu Liheng shook his hand and gave him a heavy slap, which made his eyes glow and his ears roared.

Syllable!

The black-faced man was stunned in his heart, why did he beat people without asking anything. At least ask for the name first, explain why you are arresting someone, and then do it after everything is correct.

And you can ask whatever you want, and I didn't say I wouldn't do it.

But Yu Liheng just didn't play cards according to common sense, didn't say anything, and greeted him with a slap of ears.

After receiving more than 20 slaps in a row, the black-faced man finally couldn't stand it anymore, his body swayed and fell to the ground, hugging Yu Liheng's thigh, and crying with a handful of snot and tears.

"Grandpa, stop fighting! Grandpa, stop fighting! I will say whatever you ask, but you ask, I will say everything, just ask you not to fight, woo woo. ”

Yu Liheng and Hou Chunhua glanced at each other, and the method taught by the Heart Dao Rongtou was really useful.

Whether it is a heroic ranger who is famous on the rivers and lakes, or a green-skinned scoundrel who is at the bottom, all he wants is fame and wealth. There are even times when fame is more important than money. Just because after becoming famous, money and beauties will roll in, and they can't stop it.

So there is a saying that you don't hit someone in the face, what is the face?

Face is face, face is reputation, being slapped in the face is losing your reputation, how to mix in the rivers and lakes in the future.

So on the rivers and lakes, if you stab me with a sword, I will slash you, these are not a matter. As long as there are the same interests in the future, there is the possibility of laughing and hating.

But if it is a loss of face, it is an undying hatred.

And slapping, Rong Fei's favorite and most commonly used interrogation method, in addition to the attack of mental attributes such as folding face, also has a pretty good physical attack.

Every time a slap is slapped in the face, the human brain will also be damaged by concussion, and when this damage accumulates to a certain level, the brain's reaction will become sluggish, accelerating the progress of the mental breakdown of the victim.

This is also the reason why Rong Fei's slap left such a deep memory on Murong Qiushui.

On the other hand, Rong Lan was cut off by Rong Fei's entire arm, and after being cured, Rong Lang Rong Lang screamed, and there was no guilt in his heart.

For the arrest of the Immortal Division, Rong Fei did not hide his secrets, and taught them the principles and techniques as they were.

Today's Yu Liheng is just a small test, but the effect is immediate.

"What's your name?"

Noticing that the black-faced man's pupils were slightly dilated and his eyes were dull, in line with the characteristics described by Rong Fei, Yu Liheng realized that he could start interrogation.

"Wang Xi."

"Do you know why I found you?"

"It's happened."

"It's good to know, let's talk about what happened to me."

"Peeking at the widow bathing... Grave digging... Shoot the flowers..."

Shooting flowers is a black word, which means human trafficking.

"Tell me how many people you've kidnapped?"

"Well, I think about it... Probably... Ten... Seventeen or eighteen, I can't remember exactly. ”

"Where did everyone go?"

"The goods were all picked up by Boss Xue, and I don't know where they were."

"Do you know the specific residence of Boss Xue?"

"Boss Xue is very cautious, he has a lot of hiding places in the city, and he lives in different places every night."

"You always know where the delivery is."

"Both deliveries were in a grove in the southeast corner of the city walls. There is a crooked-necked tree in the northernmost part of the woods, and if there is a strip of white cloth hanging from the tree, it can be delivered that night. ”

"Give me a clear account of the names, residences, and physical characteristics of the accomplices you know."

The black-faced man didn't have any stubborn thoughts, and 1510 confessed everything he knew.

"Well, for the sake of your cooperation, I won't let you go to prison this time. But remember what Ben Zhu said today, in the future, there will be no order from the Immortal Division, and you are not allowed to work privately, do you understand? ”

"Got it."

The black-faced man nodded repeatedly.

"Also, although you don't have to eat the prison meal, you can't lose a single point of the behavior margin. Put a hundred taels of silver on this catch, so as to ensure that you will be obedient in the future. ”

"But I don't have any money."

The black-faced man covered the swollen half of Lao Gao's face and said with a sad cry.

"Hey, hey, you don't have any money to borrow."

After that, Yu Liheng picked up a stone and hit it on the door panel of the back door of the gambling house.

The courtyard door immediately opened, and Steward Chen came out with a cloth bag and a piece of paper full of handwriting, accompanied by two thugs.

Hou Chunhua took the cloth bag from Steward Chen's hand, weighed it a few times, tied it around his waist, and then called Yu Liheng, and the two left satisfied.

After seeing the two arrests leave, Steward Chen squatted down and handed the paper full of handwriting to the black-faced man.

"Let's sign it."

"What?"

The black-faced man said confusedly.

"The IOU, written clearly in black and white, you borrowed one hundred and twenty taels of silver in the treasure shop, and repaid it all within two months, Tong Suo is not deceived."

"Huh?"

The black-faced man only now understood what Yu Liheng meant.

Immortal jump!

But at this point, this IOU has to be signed even if it is not signed, but fortunately it was not caught in prison, and there is always a way to get the money to be repaid.

The black-faced man accepted his fate, but when he wanted to press his handprint on the IOU, he reacted.

"Isn't it a hundred taels, how can it be twenty taels more?"

Steward Chen slapped him and scolded impatiently.

"Your mother, Lao Tzu can't charge a little handling fee."

At the same time, almost the same plays are being staged in the four cities of Kyoto, southeast, northwest, and north. The middle- and lower-level members of the four major human trafficking organizations were all blackmailed and intimidated to varying degrees.

A speculation with a nose and eyes is also circulating in the dark.

The Immortal Division is about to start making money!
