Shao Xi and Lao Wu came to the gambling house again, and the gambling house at this time was as crowded and lively as before.

Especially tomorrow is the day of the palace horse race, when there are more people in the gambling hall to watch the excitement than to gamble, some people may not bet, but they are happy to see how others bet.

For these people who don't gamble money and just watch the excitement, the gambling house has always been tolerant and never drives outward.

As the saying goes, to gather people is to gather wealth.

Open the door to do businessAs long as there is popularity, there will be wealth gathered, of course, the more lively the better.

Shao Xi took Lao Wu to the betting table where the dice were betting, and the dealer on the opposite side of the gambling table recognized the two at a glance.

People like them who have been in the gambling house for a long time have quite poisonous eyes, basically as long as they have been to the gambling house, they can recognize it, not to mention that Shao Xi is the gambler who made the biggest gambling contract with Avrelle the day before.

The dealer smiled at Shao Xi and Lao Wu and nodded, which was regarded as a greeting.

They can't be too enthusiastic about the gamblers who come to the casino, otherwise they will think that other gamblers are cheating.

After Shao Xi responded with a smile, he turned his head and glanced at the gamblers around him, and then signaled that Lao Wu could place a bet.

Lao Wu still asked the gamblers around him about the first three as before, and now that Shao Xi knows Lao Wu's routine, he also feels a little funny.

Lao Wu, the old fritter, is true and false, false and real, so that the gamblers around him really think that he asked what he had opened in the first three in order to calculate what he would open later.

Who knows, he is just playing tricks, and the purpose of doing this is just to divert the attention of others and prevent people from discovering his gambling methods as much as possible.

Of course, the dealer on the opposite side knew what kind of means Lao Wu used to win money before, but both sides tacitly understood it, which can be regarded as a tacit understanding.

After all, the dealer uses cheating to win money in the hands of gamblers, and Lao Wu uses the dealer's cheating to win money, and everyone's butts are not clean, so no one can say who is dirty.

Lao Wu was still betting with yesterday's gambling money, and at this time, the unkempt beggar appeared not far from Lao Wu again.

He was the same as last night, staring closely at Lao Wu's bet, and whatever Lao Wu bet on, he followed what he bet.

Shao Xi is a little strange, this beggar soaks in the gambling house every day, where did he get the money? Aren't beggars supposed to stay on the streets?

But it doesn't matter at the moment, he just keeps watching this beggar follow Lao Wu to place a bet.

Every time the beggar wins money with Lao Wu, he will look at Lao Wu like yesterday, and his eyes still look a little complicated.

After betting a few times, Shao Xi lightly touched Lao Wu and signaled that Lao Wu could stop for a while and stop betting.

The two just stood in front of the gambling table and watched the other gamblers place bets, and then Shao Xi noticed that the beggar looked a little dazed when Lao Wu didn't bet, and began to bet indiscriminately again.

This beggar doesn't seem to be in the gambling house for a day or two, but seems to be here all the year round, a person who has been in the gambling hall all the year round, why is it so expensive to gamble money, and there will be no logic in betting?

If some gamblers bet by feeling, then this person doesn't seem to even feel when he bets, but after a few handfuls, the silver beans in his hand have been almost lost.

When there was only one silver bean left in his hand, he didn't bet anymore, but watched Lao Wu.

At this time, Shao Xi motioned to Lao Wu to continue betting, and when Lao Wu bet, it was obvious that the beggar was following Lao Wu and betting together.

After a few more handfuls, the beggar won a lot of silver beans, Shao Xi signaled Lao Wu to stop again, but the beggar lost the money he won again without a few handfuls.

As a beggar, the money he won before was enough for him to spend for a long time, why did he gamble so much and didn't know how to accept it when he saw it?

Shao Xi secretly said to Lao Wu: "This time, you bet the money in your hand on the losing side." ”

Lao Wu also knew that Shao Xi brought him to gamble this time, and the purpose was not to win money, although he didn't understand why Shao Xi let him lose on purpose, but he still did as Shao Xi said.

At this time, Shao Xi saw that the beggar followed Lao Wu to bet the only silver bean in his hand on the table, and the result was that he lost without surprise.

The beggar looked at Lao Wu with some surprise in his eyes, as if he couldn't believe that this old Wu would actually lose.

But if you lose, you lose, and the result cannot be changed, and the beggar has no money in his hand.

He sighed a little disappointed, turned around and walked towards the outside of the gambling house, Shao Xi pulled Lao Wu by the hand, and the two left the gambling table and walked out of the gambling hall together behind the beggar, not far behind him.

Lao Wu asked Shao Xi with some confusion: "You said that the person you were looking for was him?" ”

Shao Xi smiled and didn't speak, just continued to follow the beggar.

After walking a few streets, the beggar suddenly turned around when he walked into an alley where no one was around.

said to Shao Xi and Lao Wu: "The two of you have been with me for so long, I have no money and no ability, I don't know why the two of you want to follow me as a poor beggar?" ”

When he asked this, Lao Wu was stunned, but Shao Xi was laughed.

"Avger, have you been like this for so many years? Who are you waiting for in the gambling house every day? What are you hiding from when you make yourself the way you are? ”

Shao Xi's words stunned the beggar on the other side, and also stunned Lao Wu beside him.

Lao Wu couldn't help but point to the beggar and asked Shao Xi, "How do you know that he is Avrele?" How do you know who he's waiting for or hiding? ”

The beggar opposite opened his mouth and didn't speak, as if what he wanted to ask was asked by Lao Wu.

"I didn't know who he was, and I came to the gambling house today just to try my luck, and although I thought he was a little different from ordinary beggars, I didn't take it seriously.

"It wasn't until today that I began to suspect that the person we thought was Avgerle was not the real Avgerle that I was reminded of the man in front of me.

"Because he made himself into the way he is and mixed up in that fake Afger gambling house, the only person who has a reason to do so is the real Avgerle."

Shao Xi's words still made Lao Wu and the beggar in a fog.

Especially Lao Wu, after hearing Shao Xi say so much, he was still confused, and said in his heart, why do you think that the beggar in front of him is Avger?

Even if the previous one is fake, how can you be sure that this one is real?

Shao Xi walked up to the beggar, stretched out his hand and pulled the beggar's hand up, and said to the beggar: "You are very attentive, I don't know how long you haven't sorted out your hair and beard, and your fingernails are so long that you get dirty."

"But you are not a real beggar after all, your palms are still too clean, although you don't wash your hands every day, you will still wash your palms, this should be a habit you developed when you were a guy at Yaoling Inn!"

When Shao Xi said this, the beggar couldn't help but look down at his palm, and Lao Wu also ran to the front and stretched out his head to take a look.

They couldn't have imagined that Shao Xi would notice this detail.

How can a beggar sleep on the streets all year round, begging along the streets, and not washing his face often?

Although he has deliberately not washed his hands and backs, he can see that his palms are always clean.

At this time, a meaningful smile appeared on the beggar's face, and he asked Shao Xi in a calm tone: "Even if you see that this beggar of mine is fake, why do you say that I am the person in your mouth?"

"What does it have to do with the person you are talking about when I pretend to be a beggar and wander around the casino? Why am I waiting for someone, and why am I hiding from someone? ”

Shao Xi smiled, laughing very playfully, as if he had found the answer he wanted in a puzzle game.

"Since you've asked so, I think you'll be reluctant if I don't make it clear.

"Actually, whether you are a beggar or not, why do you dress up as a beggar and haunt this gambling house, at first I was just a little curious, but I didn't care.

"It wasn't until yesterday that the shopkeeper confessed to me that he was the one I was looking for, but I soon found out that he wasn't really the person I was looking for, but a fake, and that's when I remembered you.

"When I was gambling in the gambling house yesterday, I found that the gamblers around you seem to be very familiar with you, and they don't dislike you as a beggar very much, which means that you have been in this gambling house for a long time.

"If it's just to come out and gamble and not be recognized, there are so many gambling houses in Loulan City, why do you only come here? This shows that you are here for a purpose.

"You disguised yourself as a beggar so that no one would recognize you? The dealers and guys in the casino can see you every day, but they don't show any unusual looks.

"You made yourself like this, probably because you didn't want to be recognized by the shopkeeper of this gambling house, although he didn't appear often, but it was precisely because he didn't appear often that he didn't recognize you.

"When you're gambling on the table, your focus is never on the gambling itself, but on the person you're gambling on.

"So when you find someone who can win with you, you win a few handfuls, and nobody wins with you, you just bet and don't care if you win or lose.

"It's never what a beggar should be, and it's never what a gambler should be, because you're waiting for someone to show up.

"You know that the shopkeeper is going to impersonate you, and you're waiting for the guy who came to you, because you know that guy is actually looking for you.

"You're hiding from the shopkeeper and keeping an eye on the shopkeeper, that's why you've made yourself the way you are, am I right? Avzhel! ”

When the beggar heard this, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh, and suddenly he stopped his smile again, staring sharply at Shao Xi in front of him.

"How do you prove that you weren't sent by that guy to test me?"

"It's easy! In Xia Shaoxi, Cheng Baiqiu, the master of Wangshu Pavilion on Yingyue Island in the South China Sea, instructed me to express my most sincere gratitude to you when I came. ”

When he heard Shao Xi say Wangshu Pavilion on Yingyue Island in the South China Sea, the beggar seemed to be finally relieved.

"There are not many people in this world who know about this, and if you can tell Wangshu Pavilion on Yingyue Island, it proves that you are indeed the person I have been waiting for for so many years, and I am Avrele."

Lao Wu was dumbfounded when he heard it, he felt as if he understood, but he felt as if he hadn't heard anything.

Shao Xi only proved that this beggar was not a real beggar, and also proved that he had another purpose in gambling in this gambling house, but how could he think that the person in front of him was Avgere?

It's just that Shao Xi's judgment is correct, and even the people themselves admit their identities, but what's going on?

Before Lao Wu could ask, he got the answer he wanted from the conversation between Shao Xi and Avrelle.

"Avgerle, what really happened back then? Who is the shopkeeper of the gambling house? It seems that he is very familiar with you, and he also knows a little about the things of Guan Senior.

"Why have you been avoiding him for so many years, but you have to keep an eye on him? What is his relationship with you and Guan Senpai? ”

Avzhel closed his eyes, tilted his head, and let out a long sigh, as if recalling the events of the past.

When he lowered his head again and opened his eyes, he saw that his eyes were red and he gritted his teeth, as if his heart was full of resentment.

"Shao Gongzi, do you know? The shopkeeper did not commit suicide, but was killed.

"Now the shopkeeper of the gambling house is named Bushra, and I am the same as the shopkeeper in the inn as a buddy, he was bullied on the street, it was the shopkeeper who took him in, so that he could be fed and clothed, but this wolf-hearted thing owes a lot of gambling debts because of his gambling habits.

At that time, the shopkeeper made a rule in the inn that no one could forcibly take anyone from the Yaoling inn, regardless of the man or woman who eloped, and thus offended many local magnates and bandit gangs, including the Black Hawk Gang, to which Bushra was in debt.

"The Black Hawks had offered a huge reward to take the shopkeeper's life, and in order to repay his gambling debts, Bushra was also greedy for a reward, so he secretly poisoned the shopkeeper's tea and killed the shopkeeper.

After succeeding, the Black Eagle Gang not only forgave him gambling debts, but also gave him a large reward, which became the force behind him, allowing him to open a gambling house in Loulan City, but claimed that the shopkeeper committed suicide.

"I happened to bump into the fact that he killed the shopkeeper, although I had the heart to save but there was nothing I could do, I knew that sooner or later they would kill me, so I fled from Loulan City with the shopkeeper's Sun Knife and the two cheats.

"Bushra pretended to bury the shopkeeper outside the city, and then I sneaked back to steal the shopkeeper's body and bury it separately, and spent a lot of money to ask a friend of the Central Plains caravan to send the shopkeeper's relics to Yingyue Island in the South China Sea, which he often mentioned during his lifetime.

"I know that sooner or later, Wangshu Pavilion will send someone to Loulan City to take away the remains of the shopkeeper, so I have been staying in Loulan City all these years, disguised as a beggar and waiting for someone to come in his gambling house, and at the same time waiting for an opportunity to get rid of this ungrateful person."

Shao Xi and Lao Wu heard that Guan Yucheng was killed back then, and they were shocked.

"So, do you know where the bones of Guan Senpai are?"

"Of course!"
