West Street Lane, Dasheng Gambling House.

The west streets and alleys are full of liquor stores and gambling houses. Most of the liquor shops and gambling houses have not been renovated and look very shabby. The liquor shop wins that the wine in the liquor shop is cheap, and the reason why the gambling house does not have a magnificent shop is to try to keep a low profile.

After all, people who go in and out of the gambling house are asking for money, and wealth is not exposed.

Naturally, the more inconspicuous the gambling house, the better.

Zhao Wanning went out with the picture screen and Tian Mengming today, ready to save Tian Mingming's little sister A Tao.

After all, it was a place like West Street and Alley, and in order to be safe, all three of them changed into men's clothes.

Zhao Wanning even pasted two handfuls of mustaches on herself.

It's just that she has a fair complexion and a slender figure, and she looks like a handsome young man. She wore two handfuls of mustaches, and no matter how she looked at it, she looked a little different.

"You don't understand that, do you?" Zhao Wanning proudly stroked the two handfuls of beard with her hands: "With these two handfuls of beards, it seems that I am a more shrewd person and not easy to be deceived." ”

"County Lord," Silver Candle was still a little nervous: "Why don't we go and report to the official first?" ”

"The people of Dali Temple said that they can't startle snakes. If we report to the official and take Ah Tao away with a swagger, then the other party will not know that their deeds have been exposed. So how can we continue to track it down? ”

"But ......" Silver Candle wanted to persuade again.

Zhao Wanning interrupted her: "Okay, okay, Silver Candle, I know you're worried about me." But you think we're just going to find a little beggar, and when we find someone, we'll just take her back to the house secretly. Who cares about a little Hanako? ”

"Besides, we are acting with the three of them, and you are secretly not with us. If there is really any trouble, you can also go to the police. ”

The silver candle had no choice but to fall. I only hope that the county lord can rescue Ah Tao smoothly on this trip and not have an accident.

The three of them walked all the way down the alleys of West Street, they searched all over the wine shops and went to the gambling house, but they didn't find Ah Tao's figure.

"Could it be that Ah Tao didn't come today?" Picture screen asked.

Tian Mengming shook her head: "Unless something happened to Ah Tao, that Uncle Zhong would definitely drive her out." But when I went out yesterday, Ah Tao was fine. ”

"There's one last casino ahead." Zhao Wanning said.

The house looked more dilapidated than the others, and the gate seemed to be in disrepair, half of it had fallen down, and it didn't look like it was going to be rebuilt. There was a huge word "gamble" written on the door curtain, which was gray and dusty, and the original color could not be seen.

Zhao Wanning took a deep breath.

The same is true for Picture Screen and Tian Mengming.

I don't blame them, it's really that the smell of the few blockages I've been in is very strong. Originally, the gambling house was dark, not ventilated, and not breathable, and the room was filled with a strong smell of mold. In addition, most of the people who enter and exit the gambling house are some raunchy men, and when there are many people, the smell is very smoky.

When Zhao Wanning entered the gambling house for the first time, he was almost vomited by the smell.

The three of them rushed to the gambling house.

The situation inside this casino is not much different from the previous ones. The tables were full of people, and the shouts were endless. Zhao Wanning and the three of them had to shout loudly in their ears when they spoke.

Tian Mengming led the two of them to squeeze around in the crowd, trying to find Ah Tao's figure.

It's just that there are too many people, and the picture screen has been carefully protecting Zhao Wanning.

They searched around and looked at almost all the places in the gambling house, but they didn't find Ah Tao.

"If we don't find it this time, I'm afraid we'll have to go across the street and take a look." Zhao Wanning shouted loudly in the ear of the painting screen.

The painting screen hurriedly stopped her, and there was fireworks and willow alley across the street. Not to mention that the county lord is a daughter, how can the three of them go to the land of fireworks?

Tian Mengming was suddenly stunned. Her expression was very solemn, and she held her breath, as if she was listening to something.

Zhao Wanning didn't dare to disturb, but the picture screen was like a big enemy. She was thinking that if the county lord really wanted to go to Fireworks Willow Lane, she must stop it. Who are the people who enter and exit Fireworks Willow Lane? If they offended the county lord, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"I seem to hear Tao crying." Tian Mengming leaned into Zhao Wanning's ear and said.

"And can you hear where her voice is?" Zhao Wanning also leaned into her ear and asked.

Tian Mingming's eyes fell on the back door of the gambling house.

Zhao Wanning didn't think about it, and walked directly to the back door with Tian Mingming and the painting screen. There was a wooden door at the back door, and although it was inconspicuous, at least the wooden door was intact.

Zhao Wanning stretched out his hand to push the door, but was stopped by a man in black who appeared out of nowhere.

"Are you really going into the backyard?" The man laughed.

Of course, you have to go into the backyard, otherwise how can you find someone? Zhao Wanning then nodded. But she was worried that if she spoke out, she would be recognized as her daughter, so she pretended to shake the folding fan in her hand.

The man then helped her open the door: "Your Excellency, please, just go out and turn left and go upstairs." ”

Zhao Wanning swaggered through the back door with the picture screen and Tian Mengming.

There was indeed an old staircase on the left side of the door, and Zhao Wanning walked up the stairs. I didn't expect that the upstairs is also a gambling house, but this gambling house looks much more high-end than the downstairs field, and there are many fewer people, there are some richly dressed people, and even a few young people look familiar, maybe the son of a family goes out to have fun.

As soon as Zhao Wanning entered the door, he was led to the table by a man in black.

"Boss, do you bet big or small?" The dealer asked.

Zhao Wanning was confused for a moment, they were here to find someone, not to gamble. So she took two steps back, but the man who didn't want to lead her to him reached out and grabbed her, not letting her go.

"This boss, the rules of our gambling house. If you go up to the second floor, you can't stand by, you have to place bets. If you don't want to play this, we can go to another table. ”

Zhao Wanning struggled his wrist out, but unexpectedly couldn't break free.

The man had great strength.

No wonder when she was about to push the door downstairs, someone asked her if she really wanted to enter the backyard, it turned out that the second floor of this gambling house has a hole in the sky, and no one other than gamblers is accepted.

Zhao Wanning was difficult to ride a tiger, so she gave the painting screen and Tian Mingming a look, and motioned for the two of them to look for Ah Tao. She herself weighed the silver taels in her purse with her hands, thinking that these silver taels should be able to play a few handfuls, hoping that these silver taels would be enough to hold up to the picture screen and Tian Mingming to find someone.

"Then I'll make a big bet." Zhao Wanning took out some loose silver from his purse and put it in the place where the word "big" was written.

The man in black reminded her again: "Boss, bet on ten taels to start." ”

"Huh?" Zhao Wanning looked confused: "Is it so big?" ”

The man in black didn't speak, but his expression was very serious, as if Zhao Wanning was not a guest who came to play, but someone who came to find fault.

Zhao Wanning didn't want to make any extraneous branches, so he took out ten taels of silver from his purse and put it on the table, and picked up the broken silver that had just been put down on the table, ready to put it back in his purse.

The man in black grabbed her hand: "Boss, buy and leave, you can't go back on your bet." ”

The man in black exerted some strength in his hand, Zhao Wanning's hand loosened uncontrollably, and the broken silver in his hand fell on the table.

"This brother, the first time I came here, I didn't understand the rules, if you explain it to me, I will know. Why do you need to use your hands and feet? Zhao Wanning deliberately suppressed his voice and said loudly.

Her voice sounded a little awkward, a bit like her father-in-law in the palace.

Someone next to him joked: "Yo, whose father-in-law is this who came out to have fun?" ”

The man looked Zhao Wanning up and down as he spoke, and then his gaze stopped on Zhao Wanning's waist.

Zhao Wanning was half angry. But she thinks that she is now showing herself in men's clothes, and no one knows her, so she will be teased if she is teased. After all, they have important things to do, so it's better not to conflict with others.

"Come on, come on, buy and leave, buy and leave. Anything else to bet on? The dealer shouted. Seeing that no one was betting any longer, he began to shake the dice up and down, left and right.

The man explained to Zhao Wanning: "This boss, I don't know that this is the first time you have come to our gambling house, and I hope to take care of the inappropriateness." ”

"There are a total of 5 dice in this round, bet on the big and small, if the dice are small, then the bet on the small wins."

"Otherwise, the one who bets big wins."

Zhao Wanning bet on the big, and there were many people on the big side, and there were piles of silver on the table, as well as silver tickets. On the contrary, there are fewer people who bet on the small.

Zhao Wanning thought to himself that this one was going to lose, so many people were betting big, if the big bet won, then the gambling house would definitely lose a lot.

Soon the dealer stopped rolling the dice.

Everyone abandons their gaze and stares at the dice in the dealer's hand.

"Four six, one five, big!" The dealer said loudly, his voice full of surprise.

And the men of Adda began to shout for joy.

Zhao Wanning not only got back his capital, but also made a small profit. On the contrary, the person who had just ridiculed her, he saw that there were few people who bet on the small, so he gambled and bet all the fifty taels on the small one, but he didn't want to lose all at once.

He didn't believe that he was so unlucky, so he said to the man in black beside him, "I'm going to borrow some more silver taels." ”

"Boss Wang, you have already borrowed two hundred taels from our gambling house, do you want to continue to borrow it?" The man asked.

"Of course I have to borrow, I must win the money back today!"

The man in black took him with him.

Zhao Wanning saw that the picture screen and Tian Mengming had not come back, so she continued to bet, this time she made a small bet.

Zhao Wanning was quite surprised that she could win just now, she thought she would definitely lose.

Affected by the previous game, there are still more people who bet on the big one, but there are fewer people who bet on the small, and the odds of betting on the small are 1 to 5. Zhao Wanning didn't dare to bet more, so he bet the silver two that he won in the last hand, so that even if he lost, he would not feel distressed.

The man from before also came back, he looked at the situation in front of him, the odds of 1:5 were too high, he didn't dare to bet, so he bet big.

It's another one-pass operation.

"One-two-three-one-two, small!"

Zhao Wanning couldn't believe that she actually won again.

And this time, it will directly change from ten taels to fifty taels.

She was somewhat addicted and then continued to bet.

Xu is because it is the first time to play this, Zhao Wanning's luck is particularly good, and he won all five in a row. Regardless of the size of the odds, she won about two hundred taels, and her purse could no longer hold so much silver.

Zhao Wanning then remembered the painting screen.

It's been a quarter of an hour. Picture screen and Tian Mingming haven't come to her yet, could it be that something has happened?

Zhao Wanning was in a daze, she packed up the silver taels, and left the gambling table to find someone.

The dealer opened his mouth to stop her: "Why does this boss have to run away after winning the money?" That's not going to work. ”

Zhao Wanning smiled and said, "The attendants below don't know where to go, I have to find them." I'm sorry for you. ”

The man said, "Boss, I'll help you find your attendant, so you should continue to play at this table." ”

Zhao Wanning was naturally unwilling, she said with a straight face: "I've had enough fun today, so I want to go to my attendant and go home." Why, aren't you allowing me to go home? ”

"This boss, are the two of them the attendants you are looking for?"
