Chapter 66: Where Did You Hide My Mother?
Ah Yao followed Zhao Xianglian through several winding alleys, and finally saw Zhao Xianglian stop in front of a small door.
She looked up and around before pushing open the door and stepping inside.
Ah Yao followed to the small door, the room was dark, and she couldn't see anything outside the door.
After a moment's hesitation, she pushed the door open and walked in.
The room was dimly lit, and all she could hear was the voice of a man and the sound of a sieve cup.
It's a gambling house!
Dongli explicitly prohibits gambling, and there is actually a small gambling house hidden here!
When her eyes adjusted to the dimness of the gambling room, she could see that there were three tables inside, and many men were placing bets around the tables.
She looked at the whole room, but there was no trace of Zhao Xianglian.
There are no extra doors and windows here, the door she came in just now is the only entrance, Zhao Xianglian must still be here.
She looked around for Zhao Xianglian's figure and was stopped by two men.
The man with the scar in the corner of his eye looked at her and asked, "Who are you?" Why haven't I seen you before? β
Dongli prohibits gambling, and the people in the small gambling house are bound to be extra vigilant against the living.
If she says half a wrong sentence, she will be kicked out of the small gambling house.
"I ...... I'm here to gamble, too. β
The scar man and the skinny man beside him looked at each other and let out a sneer.
"Just like you, still gambling money? Do you gamble money? β
"I will."
The first time she came to the gambling house, she had never gambled.
But in order not to be suspected, she can only lie that she is gambling money.
The scar man touched his chin, "You really know how to gamble?" β
"Hmm."
"Then you can make a bet with me first!"
In order to verify whether she is here to stir up the situation or really to gamble.
Scar Man led her to a gaming table and pointed to several gambling equipment on the table.
"Dice or pai gow, which one do you choose?"
She pointed to the dice, "This." β
She was in the Prime Minister's Mansion before, and she had seen the family in the mansion secretly playing dice in private.
The gameplay is simple, just bet on the size.
When everyone saw that she had chosen the dice, a touch of mockery immediately appeared on their faces.
"Are you sure you want to pick the dice?"
She nodded.
The thin man looked at the scar man with a smile, "Brother Dao, this little girl is here to give you money!" β
Ah Yao didn't know that the scar man, nicknamed Brother Dao, was the owner of this small gambling house, and what he was best at was dice.
Anyone who has been to this small gambling house knows Brother Dao, and they dare not compete with Brother Dao.
Brother Dao proudly pushed a sieve cup to her, "One sieve cup per person, there are three dice in the sieve cup, whoever has the highest number of points wins, do you have any questions?" β
"No problem."
Brother Dao propped his hands on the gambling table and asked curiously, "Do you know how to roll the dice?" β
"Yes."
"I see that you are here for the first time, and I don't want people to think that I am bullying you, I will let you play a game first, and the first game will not be counted, so I should give you a practice."
She hooked her lips, "Okay, then thank you Brother Dao." β
It can be seen that this knife brother is a frequent visitor to this small gambling house.
If you can win him, you may have a chance to ask something from his mouth.
"You come first." Brother Dao said.
"Okay."
She picked up the sieve cup, and was about to shake it when it suddenly fell on the table.
The onlookers burst into laughter.
"The sieve cup can't hold steadily, are you sure you can roll the dice?"
"Yes."
Ignoring the men's taunts and doubts, she shook the dice lightly and slammed them on the table.
Everyone looked at her suspiciously, "You're all right?" β
She nodded.
The men ridiculed and despised him again, and then began to compliment Brother Dao.
Brother Dao quickly put the sieve cup on the gambling table and raised his eyes to look at her, "Then I'll open it first." β
After speaking, Brother Dao revealed his points.
"Five-five-five, fifteen o'clock."
"Brother Dao has won."
"It's worthy of Brother Dao!"
Brother Dao looked at her with a smug face, "It's your turn." β
Ah Yao revealed her points, and after everyone looked at it, they rubbed their eyes at the same time and looked again.
Everyone stared at Ah Yao's points, and they were so shocked that they didn't dare to speak.
Brother Dao frowned and looked at her points, and he didn't speak for a long time.
"Three sixes, I should have more points than yours!"
"Count yourself lucky, come again!"
After speaking, Brother Dao continued to shake the sieve cup.
Ah Yao still shook it lightly a few times, and then buckled the sieve cup.
Brother Dao showed his points again, and it was still three fives.
This kind of point is not something that anyone can shake.
He looked at Ah Yao proudly, "How many are you?" β
A-Yao showed her points.
When everyone saw it, they were again so shocked that they couldn't speak.
Or three sixes!
Being able to shake to three fives in a row is already Brother Dao's ability.
She is a weak woman who can shake three sixes in a row, which is more powerful than Brother Dao, and they really can't believe their eyes.
"Is this a round?" Yao asked.
"You ......"
Brother Dao looked at her in surprise for a long time, and could only say, "Come again." β
The two came several times in succession, Brother Dao was always three fives, and Ah Yao was always three sixes.
The eyes of the onlookers who looked at Ah Yao changed, and they even whispered.
"Why is this girl so powerful?"
"Yes! I've been here for years, and it's the first time I've met such a strong girl. β
"God of Gamblers!"
Every time he loses to Ah Yao, Brother Dao's face is a little unbearable.
He slapped the gambling table viciously and pointed at Ah Yao with his finger, "You are a good man!" β
Ah Yao spread her hands, "What do I take out of Lao Qian?" β
When she was a child, she played dice in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and then she secretly played it herself.
She found that she could shake as many as she wanted.
She thought it was amazing and happily told her mother about it.
When her mother learned about it, she ordered her not to touch the dice, nor to read and write, and not to think about anything except work.
She still doesn't understand what her mother was nervous about.
"You ......"
Brother Dao couldn't answer.
"Brother Dao shouldn't be denying it, right?"
"You don't talk nonsense, my brother Dao never denies it, I will give you a lot of money lost to you."
Ah Yao smiled and shook her head, "I don't want your silver, I have something to ask for." β
"What's the matter with you?"
"Can you take a step to speak?"
Brother Dao followed A-Yao to the corner of the small gambling house and asked, "What are you going to do?" β
"Where did the woman who walked into the gambling house go just now?"
Brother Dao's face was full of vigilance, "What are you looking for her for?" β
"She'......"
Ah Yao remembered that when she was in Suicheng, she had heard Yan Yu mention Zhao Huaizhi's good betting, "Her brother lost to me in gambling and owed me a lot of money, so I came to her brother to ask for money." β
"That kid from Zhao Huaizhi also owes you money?" Brother Dao asked.
She nodded.
Brother Dao sneered, "That kid is really a vegetable and fun-loving, his gambling skills are a mess, and he always wants to turn the tables and win money, which is really wrong." β
"Have you seen him?" Ah Yao asked anxiously.
"I took the money a few days ago, and I still gambled in our gambling house."
"Where is he now?"
Brother Dao licked the root of his teeth, shook his head and said, "Then I don't know, I guess where to get the money again." β
"And what is his sister doing here?"
"He paid back the money, and after paying it back, he left through the back door."
Back door?
There's also a back door!
"Where's the back door?"
Brother Dao brought her to the back door, "This is the back door, she left from here." β
"Thank you."
As soon as A-Yao stepped out of the back door, she was stopped by Brother Dao.
"Wait!"
She looked back at Brother Dao suspiciously.
Brother Dao touched his chin and looked at her, "I think you have good gambling skills, what are you doing?" Why don't you come and do it with me? β
She didn't have any gambling skills, it was all luck.
When she shakes the sieve cup, she seems to be able to sense the number of dice, and she can determine the number of dice by shaking it a few times.
If you want a few points, you can shake a few points.
"No, I'm not interested in that."
She was just about to turn around, but Brother Dao spoke up again, "If you really want to find Zhao Huaizhi, you can go to Tianxiang Pavilion to try." β
"Tianxiang Pavilion?"
"Zhao Huaizhi's kid is a gambler and lustful, and he is usually either in a gambling house or a brothel."
"Thank you."
After thanking Brother Dao, she followed the back door of the small gambling house and really came to Tianxiang Pavilion.
The brothels are open at night and closed during the day, and she knocked on the door for a long time, but no one came to open it for her.
She didn't want to give up, and went around to the back door of Tianxiang Pavilion again.
As soon as I went around to the back door, I saw a man and a woman being kicked out of the back door.
The man fell to the ground, pointed to the back door and scolded, "You stinky bitches, when you have money, you come to talk to you, and when you have no money, you will blast you out, and you will wait for you." β
This voice is Zhao Huaizhi!
She shouted and chased after her, "Zhao Huaizhi, don't run!" β
Zhao Huaizhi, who was still scolding, was frightened and quickly got up and ran after hearing her voice.
"Stop!"
Seeing this, Zhao Xianglian grabbed A-Yao and didn't let her chase Zhao Huaizhi.
Ah Yao glared at Zhao Xianglian angrily, "Let it go!" β
"I beg you, just let my brother go! My brother is now wanted, it's pitiful enough, you can spare him! β
It's the funniest joke she's ever heard in her life!
She warned sharply: "If you don't let go, don't blame me for being rude!" β
"Please, do it!"
She retorted angrily, "Then why didn't Zhao Huaizhi let my mother go?" β
"Heβhe's not sensible, he's ......"
"Get out of here!"
She kicked Zhao Xianglian away, "The thing I regret the most is that I helped you in the backyard of the Qian Mansion, and I should have watched you being beaten to death." β
"I didn't ask you to help me, you have to be nosy."
Right! It's her nosy.
In the future, whether Zhao Xianglian is dead or alive, she will definitely not say half a word again.
She didn't talk nonsense with Zhao Xianglian anymore, and immediately ran wildly to chase Zhao Huaizhi.
Zhao Huaizhi didn't dare to run to a crowded place, for fear of being recognized, so he could only run towards a remote alley.
Ah Yao followed him closely, determined not to let him run away again.
She forced Zhao Huaizhi to a dead end and chased him to the end of the alley.
Zhao Huaizhi had nowhere to run, panting and looking back at her, "You, you ......"
She gasped and approached Zhao Huaizhi.
"Where's my mother? Where did you get my mother? β
"What are you? What the hell are you talking about? Zhao Huaizhi asked suspiciously.
"You don't have garlic! My mother is the woman Su Yuyan sent to you. β
"That woman is your mother?" Zhao Huai's face was shocked.
Ah Yao didn't answer him, and continued to ask, "Where did you hide my mother?" β
