Chapter Ninety-One: Infiltrating the Gambling House
After entering the royal capital Jinyang, Jiang Chen took a fancy to a house in Liuxiang.
The front yard is used to open a breakfast shop, and the backyard is where they live in a group of four people, but only Jiang Chen, Wu Yue and Duanmu Qing usually enter and show people, Han Yuyang can only live in a simple place, even if he wants to go out, he tries to choose the night as much as possible, and hides his traces as much as possible.
He is a repeat offender who was rewarded by the imperial court, and I believe no one would have expected that he would be brave enough to come to the royal capital.
That night, after Jiang Chen said something to Wu Yue, he pushed the door and went out to take a slow walk in the depths of Willow Lane.
The reason why this willow street alley is called "willow alley" is because in this alley, there are more than a dozen smoke and powder places, and when the lamp is held every day, countless women with heavy makeup and dusty will decorate this alley with red and willow green, warblers and swallows, which is haunting and dreaming.
Jiang Chen hummed a little song in his mouth, passing in front of one girl after another, he turned a deaf ear to the seductive greetings, his eyes always stared straight ahead, the gambling house that opened in the middle of these smoked powder was his destination.
In the morning he followed the man with the snake's head tattoo on his chest all the way to the gambling house, and the latter walked in with ease.
Jiang Chen speculated that this man either had a job in the gambling house, or he was a complete gambler, and in short, he had to go in and find the person and find out what was going on.
"Stop, take it out and show it to you, if not, get out of here!"
The two strong men standing at the door of the gambling house were like two door gods blocking in front of Jiang Chen.
Just when Jiang Chen didn't know what they were referring to, another well-dressed man happened to come over, he showed the wrench between the fingers of his right hand, and the two strong men let him in without saying a word.
It seems that this wrench is a token of permission to enter the gambling house, but Jiang Chen didn't know about it before, it turns out that just to enter the gambling house, there are such strict rules.
Now Jiang Chen became more interested in this place.
"I forgot to bring it, so I'll go back and get it."
Jiang Chen, who left under the pretext of leaving, walked around this gambling house, and found that this place was surrounded by high walls, which were obviously carefully designed to prevent outsiders from trying to sneak in.
Ordinary high walls are not a problem for Jiang Chen at all, but these four walls are ridiculously high, and if there is no place to borrow strength, Jiang Chen is helpless.
Why is an ordinary gambling house so mysterious, perhaps this shows that it is not so ordinary.
After observing the surrounding terrain, Jiang Chen locked his eyes on the green building called "Zuisheng Building" next door to the gambling house, if he jumped out of the wing room on the third floor of their house, he could completely jump over the high wall and land in the inner courtyard of the gambling house.
After making up his mind, Jiang Chen walked directly into this brightly lit drunken building.
"Yo, this young guest officer, you really look talented, at a glance, you must be a talented person from a family who has read poetry and books!"
An old bustard, who looked a little rough, immediately greeted her with courtesy, and after Jiang Chen showed her that he wanted the wing room on the third floor, she was a little embarrassed.
"Childe, it's really unfortunate, that side room is already occupied, why don't I take you to another room, it's more spacious and comfortable than that......"
Jiang Chen said resolutely: "I want that." ”
As he spoke, he ignored the bustard's hurried dissuasion behind him, and went straight to the third floor.
Standing outside the door of this wing room, Jiang Chen heard the old bustard say: "Childe, childe, don't be impulsive, listen to me first." ”
"Do you know who is in the room? He is Yu Yuanliang, the son of Lord Yu, the servant of the Criminal Department, this person is not easy to mess with, and I don't look down on you, but in the entire royal capital, there are not many people who can argue with such an official son. ”
The old bustard said this very tactfully, it was all to take care of Jiang Chen's face.
However, if he wanted to sneak into the gambling house, he had to enter this room, Jiang Chen naturally didn't want to make any extraneous troubles, but he had to do it now.
"Okay, I was joking just now, Yu Yuanliang and I have been friends since childhood, even if I go in now to disturb his good deeds, he won't say anything."
"Go ahead, you don't need you here."
Jiang Chen didn't knock on the door, and directly pushed the door in as if nothing had happened.
"Who ......?"
Yu Yuanliang's voice came from inside, but it stopped abruptly after only three words, and then it was peaceful in the wing, it seemed that they were very good friends as Jiang Chen said.
The old bustard poked and poked his ear against the door, trying to listen to the movement inside, but a girl pushed the door and came out, and her face was not unusual.
"Yingying, there are two ...... here"
"Don't worry, don't get in the way, the two of them are fine, Yu Gongzi specially explained, no matter what happens, don't bother us."
The old bustard breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Yingying again and said, "Daughter, this is bitter for you." ”
"Oops, out of the way."
As she spoke, Yingying closed the door, and behind her, Yu Yuanliang was lying on the ground unconscious, and Jiang Chen, who was still standing in the room just now, had disappeared at this time.
There were one hundred taels of silver tickets on the table, and Yingying carefully picked them up and stuffed them into her underwear.
"Interesting."
She looked at the open window, from which she could easily check the situation in the gambling house, of course she knew that Jiang Chen was going to the inner courtyard of the gambling house through her room.
One hundred taels of silver is enough to gag her mouth, but when this Yu Gongzi on the ground will wake up, it's hard to say.
Jiang Chen successfully infiltrated the gambling house, and he found that there were four areas inside, like a Tianzi grid, and in the middle was the inner garden he was in at this time.
Judging from the movement, the two rooms on the west side seem to be the places where the gambling house is serious about gambling, while the houses on the east side are silent, faintly revealing some strange atmosphere.
The more mysterious the place, the more likely it was that there was some secret hidden, Jiang Chen approached the house to the east, and at the same time, he quickly found that in one of the houses, there was a somewhat dim oil lamp flashing.
Only this room is lit, indicating that there are people inside.
Jiang Chen lowered his steps, and the steps he took at this time were as soft and quiet as a kitten, and no one noticed his existence.
"Since Yu Wenshi is so ignorant, let him taste the bitterness and tell him that if he doesn't do what we want, then the Yu family will soon have a bloody disaster!"
"But he is a squire of the Criminal Department, and he is often accompanied by many elite soldiers of the Criminal Department, so it is not easy to start."
"Hmph, do you still need me to teach you this?"
Through the window paper, Jiang Chen saw that it was the man who was kneeling on the ground, and the other person who was giving orders to the latter made him feel a sense of déjà vu.
