Chapter 183: Gangsters Visit
The gambling house on the second floor of the laughing spring breeze began to spread in the interior of Linzhou City.
On the first floor, the storytelling shop was used as a cover, and the gambling house on the second floor gradually began to operate profitably, with considerable income.
It's even about to make much more money than when Kaiyue came to the building and the courtyard in the capital.
Seeing that the sign of the laughing spring breeze was gradually on the right track, the opening of the shop the next day was relatively relaxed.
Early the next morning, they were leisurely getting out of the carriage and preparing to enter the yard to open the shop, and they were preparing for the display of the new shop today.
When they came to the courtyard, they saw a figure standing at the gate of the courtyard.
Mi Xia Yao frowned, and she stepped forward.
When she got closer, she found that there were people gathered in the courtyard.
When they saw Mi Xia Yao coming, the person who had been squatting stood up unhurriedly.
"You are the owner of a gambling house that just opened in Linzhou City? Cut, three women ......"
The leader was holding a pipe, and he looked at the three women in front of him with half-squinted eyes, and the disdain in his eyes was all exposed.
Mi Xia Yao subconsciously took a step back to protect the two people behind her.
Unexpectedly, the person on the other side turned around, spit out a puff of turbid smoke, and looked each other up and down.
"Damn, it's you guys who recently stole my Brother Lei's latest gambling business?!"
Snatch?
Mi Xia Yao was originally worried about which Linzhou didn't like their people to find gangsters, but she didn't expect that it was the gangsters who found them themselves.
She said calmly: "I inquired before opening a shop in Linzhou, and there is no unwritten rule in Linzhou that a new store cannot open a gambling house. ”
"If you don't like it, we'll ......"
"Damn, don't we have that?" The gangster's eyelids jumped, and he immediately turned his head and questioned the little henchman behind him.
The little attendant shook his head blankly, obviously very unfamiliar with this rule.
Probably having the upper hand, he took a deep puff of the cigarette pouch with some irritability, and then turned his head to look at Mi Xia Yao.
This gangster didn't take Mi Xia Yao's words to heart at all.
"We are here today to weigh your ability, girls open gambling houses, do you know how many means are hidden in this?"
The thug tapped the pat and knocked the tobacco out of his pipe, then pulled out his cigarette case and stuffed it back into the pipe in one fell swoop.
"Don't be nervous, Brother Lei has issued an order, let's come and find out your bottom line, let's have a gamble."
Under the smoke, the thugs squinted at the three of them.
"Lao Tzu is a well-known gambling god in Linzhou City, if you don't believe it, you can catch someone and ask...... Oh, and there aren't many people on the streets right now. ”
The streets are sparsely populated in the early morning.
Mi Xia Yao will arrive early today because there is a lot of preparation waiting for her, otherwise according to the rules of the storytelling shop, they will only come over in the afternoon.
Looking at the not very smart gangster in front of him, Mi Xia Yao looked at the few people in front of him with a smile.
"Sister Xia Yao...... The group ...... "don't look very smart."
Chen Xi stepped forward worriedly and pulled Mi Xia Yao's sleeve, she wanted to speak and stopped, obviously saving a little face for the other party.
It can be seen that the other party is not very malicious, but in fact, Mi Xia Yao breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as it's not here to make trouble.
"What do you want?" Mi Xia Yao didn't bother to go around in circles with them, she directly spread out the conversation and asked.
The gangsters at the head cleared their throats, "Win, you can open this shop as usual, and in the future, we will never intervene in the signboard of your gambling house laughing at the spring breeze; If you lose......"
He deliberately lengthened his tone and said meaningfully: "Then this gambling house is not allowed to open, the three girls can't beat me alone, if you want to really open this gambling house, those gambling dogs in Linzhou City, you still don't lose all your money?" ”
Chad listened......
Mi Xia Yao turned her head to look at Gu Yun, Gu Yun's eyes were solemn, and she nodded slightly quietly.
The two of them didn't have too much conversation, just a simple look at each other to understand what the other party meant.
The thugs who came here clearly had good intentions and didn't mean to embarrass them.
"But what if I lose, but I have to drive?"
"Then don't blame us Brother Lei for going down personally." The thug raised his jaw proudly.
"Who is Brother Lei?"
She frowned.
Before coming to Linzhou, she also specially asked Mi Jinghuan about these statements about the Linzhou City Gambling House. He said that there is no famous gambling house in Linzhou, and Mi Xia Yao will rest assured that he will open it here without concealment.
It was only the second day after the shop opened, and someone blocked her door.
"You're going to open a gambling house, and you don't even know my dignified Brother Lei's name? You opened a shop without any preparation?! Oops......"
The thug seemed to have a headache for Mi Xia Yao's reaction.
He touched his forehead and sighed helplessly.
With this exaggerated expression, I don't know how pure Mi Xia Yao is to make the other party so speechless.
She narrowed her eyes, her patience almost exhausted.
"My brother Lei is in Linzhou City, it is a well-known gambling house, even the gambling house in Qingzhou next door has a part of my brother Lei, you little girl doesn't know anything, it's like entering the gambling house to make this money? Don't be a delicate girl raised by a merchant, right? ”
Mi Xia Yao's eyes gradually turned a little gloomy.
The gangster was also accustomed to looking at people's eyes, and knew that Mi Xia Yao was about to start to be in a bad mood, so he hurriedly put away these broken words.
Mi Xia Yao turned around, Chen Xi had already opened the door of the store here, and the gangster followed when he saw this.
She glanced back at him and tugged at her red lips.
"What did I promise to bet with you?"
"Huh?" The thug stood there in confusion.
It's rare to see a gambling house gangster who is not vicious, Mi Xia Yao raised her eyebrows and snorted, "I'm sorry, we have a lot of things to prepare today, and we don't have time to play gambling with you." ”
"If you have to gamble, you can wait for us to come and gamble when we officially open the shop in the afternoon."
With that, Mi Xia Yao turned around and entered the house.
It happened that at this time, Lan Ren and his good brothers came over unhurriedly to get ready to work.
Originally, he was walking slowly, and several strong men behind him were also chatting with their heads down.
As soon as Lan Ren's eyes turned, he saw several people blocking the door of the laughing spring breeze, and he immediately quickened his pace, almost walking over quickly.
Those strong men used their physical advantages to squeeze those gangsters into the courtyard.
"What are you doing!? Is it fun to bully a girl's family? ”
Lan Ren rolled up his sleeves and looked like he was going to fight.
Mi Xia Yao saw that Lan Ren was coming, and she didn't bother to listen to the man's nonsense, she turned around neatly and went into the house.
