A few people got money in vain, but they didn't waste extravagance, as long as there were three rooms near the water, one for Bai Qing, one for the little monk with shallots, one for Xiao Yitong Lu, and the fat pig was arranged in the stable. The crowd was so tired that they bathed well and fell asleep. It was not until noon the next day that the people gathered. The little monk ran in and out from time to time to play with the fat pig, and I don't know when this person and a pig became good partners. Xiao Yi and the three of them called for some food, laughing and amusing while eating and drinking, but the most mentioned in the words was the one in front of them. The shallot is still dressed like that, but the black hair has been carefully cleaned up, although it is only slightly different, Xiao Yi and the three of them have sharp eyes, and they have already discovered the problem. Tong Lu quipped,

"Shallot senior, I was touched by that boy yesterday, and today I love beauty so much?" hehe, look at how neat and smooth your green silk is, I'm afraid that the mosquito will slip on it!"

The two fingers of the right hand of the onion twisted a trace of hair, and he didn't reply, just sat quietly.

"It's boring! I think it's the one from yesterday who will be able to match his appetite!"

The shallot was still expressionless, not angry and arrogant, but no one was afraid of him anymore. Bai Qing was a little excited, and said,

"Brother Xiaoyi, Lu Lu, let's go to the street after eating, I heard that this Yazhou city is very lively during the day, and there is nothing you can't buy!

Xiao Yi nodded,

"Of course that's good! Last time, the little monk had a fever that didn't go away, and it was really a little scary!"

Tong Lu suddenly put down his hand to eat, and said,

"I think there are still a lot of delicious and fun in this Yazhou, let's eat less and keep some stomach. ”

The three of them said goodbye to the shallots, and as soon as they got to the street, Xiao Yi only felt a gust of wind behind them, and when he looked back, it was the shallots who followed with the little monk.

"Shallot senior, why don't you come for a visit?"

The shallot didn't pay attention to it, put the little monk down, put up his hands, and walked forward.

This Yazhou city is surrounded by mountains and rivers, the streets extend in all directions, and people of all colors come and go, so it is not lively. The little monk was extremely excited, and pulled Bai Qingdong to look west, saying that he was buying him some gadgets, but he couldn't help shaking his head. A few people couldn't hold it, bought a lot of famous local snacks, looked at them while eating, and handed them the shallots, but he just looked at it, Bai Qing put away his share, and took it out for him to satisfy his hunger when he was hungry.

I haven't seen the sun for a long time, and this time, several people have difficulty adapting, and their scalps are numb due to the sun. In order to escape the scorching sun, several people came to a pergola to sit down and drink some tea to quench their thirst. While chatting, several strong men of five big and three thick came over together and occupied a table in this tea shed. Tong Lu peeked at it, buried his lips in the tea, and said vaguely,

"Oh, it's not that the enemies don't get together, that guy's pain is not healed, and this is asking for trouble again?"

The man didn't seem to notice a few, and his companion spoke first,

"Kuroko, it's time for you to pay the rent for this tea stall! Do you think you should give it now, or give it immediately?"

As soon as they heard this, they knew that these people were here to collect rent, and it was difficult to say whether it was in accordance with the king's law or not.

The owner of the tea stall nodded and poured tea for a few people, although he was smiling, it was not difficult to see the anger,

"This rent was just paid a few days ago, why do you want to collect it again?"

The man took a sip of tea, and spit it all out,

"What kind of broken tea is this, it's so unpalatable! I don't think you're doing this business!"

The owner of the tea stall panicked, hurriedly accompanied him, poured another bowl, and said with a smile,

"Old brothers, how much do you have to pay this time!"

The man gestured and showed two fingers, and the boss took the money out of his pocket and handed it over tremblingly. The man snatched it and laughed out loud.

"Well, this tea is good!

Several people laughed together, got up and left. Xiao Yi said in his heart that these people are so unreasonable, and they were about to seek justice for this boss, but they were stopped by Tong Lu.

"Brother Xiaoyi, you can save a while, how can you save a lifetime! They are just running errands, if you solve these few, there will be new ones to make up, except for the unclean. This boss is just spending some money to buy a stable one, and if he gets into trouble, I'm afraid that the whole family will be affected!"

This is reasonable, and the boss also listened to it and came over to add tea to everyone.

"The little brother is a person who understands, our small business, just barely making ends meet. It rained non-stop a few days ago, which really hurt us small merchants and hawkers, and we didn't make a few dollars all day long, but the rent was not less. If you don't pay, then you don't mess around here anymore, if you find a reason to avoid this rent every two months, then well, you won't use it anymore, and people will still collect rent. Under normal circumstances, they don't need to be too strong, but it's still weird and scary to send a few big-shouldered and round-waisted people over. ”

Bai Qing was a little angry, slapped the table with his little hand, and asked him,

"Doesn't the government care!"

It was rare for everyone to see her angry, and they couldn't help laughing. The tea stall owner sighed lightly,

"This is sent by the government, who are you complaining to? This government has limited manpower, how can it deal with this huge Yazhou Mansion, and besides, it is not appropriate to wear this official clothes and do this kind of work. So simply find the ruffians and hooligans, collect the rent, most of them are handed over, and the rest is divided from the bottom, and the two sides tacitly know it, and the government has mostly turned a blind eye to these things. Hey, take pity on us businessmen, and have to pay an extra rent. ”

Xiao Yi knew the inside story, and thought about whether he could help a little, and also do some good things for the people on this side, and asked the boss,

"This group of scoundrels will also have a head, I don't know who it is!"

The boss craned his neck and looked around for a while, then leaned over and whispered back,

"Wu Lao Wu over there in Yucheng is very powerful, everyone in this Yazhou City knows about it, he does that fatal business, he is rich and powerful, whoever dares to provoke him, even the official master has to give him seven or eight points of face!"

Xiao Yi asked again,

"How can I find him?"

The boss replied,

"This Wu Lao Wu lives near his casino, walk along this street to the end, and then go straight to the right, and the end of the street is. I'm just complaining to you, and I'm in a much better mood, but I don't dare to ask him for trouble! You guys, just hang around, some people must not be provoked! We little people, it's good to be able to eat and dress warmly, and it's better than anything else!"

Xiao Yi knew what he was thinking, and replied,

"We know that, and you don't have to worry. ”

Everyone got up after drinking tea, and Xiao Yi thought about going to the Wu Lao Wu meeting to see who he was. Shallot has some worries today, his eyes are moving around, and he has been following which way Xiao Yi goes. Tong Lu thought in his heart, as long as there are shallots, no matter who the other party is, if they come to knock over one by one, ten people will be knocked down together. As the saying goes, the dog fights the human power, the fox is fake and the tiger is mighty, and it feels really good.

According to the boss's instructions, it didn't take long to arrive at the intersection, the intersection of the long street was full of people, the restaurant business on both sides was booming, and the gambling house here was even worse, and people were squeezed out of the door. Several big men guarded the door, shouting to maintain order. Tong Lu saw that there were many gamblers in this "Wukuifang", how could he squeeze in, and then look at this restaurant is also good, thinking that the onions didn't eat anything today, if there is trouble for a while, he has to rely on him to settle it,

"Let's eat something first, the shallot seniors haven't eaten for a day!

Shallot squinted, looked up at the restaurant, and then nodded slowly, saying,

"Let's go!"

He stepped into the restaurant in one step, and went upstairs to the private room in three steps and two steps. There was a couple of men and women in the private room, who were intimate, and they were frightened by his breaking down the door, and their legs suddenly weakened. The two hurriedly packed up and fled.

The guy laughed and welcomed a few people in,

"Oh, you've done me a great favor, these two have been tired of this since noon, we never embarrassed the guests, they have been occupying, and we have been waiting. How many guests want this private room, we are embarrassed. ”

Tong Lu patted the guy on the shoulder and said with a smile,

"Then why don't you serve a few more side dishes later?"

The guy is very clever, seeing that these people are not locals, just said,

"That's natural, I'll serve you some snacks first, and then I'll serve our signature dishes later! We are the best restaurant in Yazhou, if we talk about eating and drinking, we have to rank second, who dares to rank first." ”

Tong Lu was very satisfied when he heard him boast like this, and patted him again,

"If you have any signboards, come up, do a good job, we have a big reward!"

The man got the order, went out with joy, and gently covered it again.

Xiao Yi Baiqing leaned on the window and looked out, just in time to see the main entrance of the gambling house, which was crowded with people, and something should have happened inside. The little monk doesn't like to talk for a few days, although he is curious about the things around him, but he only replies occasionally two sentences, and I don't know if he has been following the onion for a long time, and the words will be less, Tong Lu is teasing him on the side, and the little monk is giggling non-stop. Shallot is still that virtuous, pretending to be indifferent to everything.

There was a noise outside the door, and Xiao Yi could see it clearly, it was coming from the inside of the Wukui Fang, as if cheering and mocking. After a while, a dozen or so men escorted a man out, the man had a fair face, a purple robe, black hair tied up with flowers, a ruler-long folding fan pinned to his waist in his left hand, and the fingers of his right hand touched the roots of his hair along his forehead, and then slid down his hair to the tip of his hair. Hearing the cheers, Tong Lu and the little monk in the center of the circle also squeezed to the window, and even the onion glanced at it from time to time to show concern.

"This kid is not an ordinary person! Look at this style, how many young girls must be fascinated!"

Bai Qing grinned,

"I think he learned to gamble when he was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and he will have it in the future!

It's rare for the little monk to say the last sentence,

"He's got to win!

Tong Lu scratched the little monk's nose and said,

"Little bald head, look at his current scenery, if you don't take it, you will lose all your family money sooner or later!"

Everyone hugged the boy and walked away slowly, and the guy in the restaurant here also happened to bring snacks, and when he saw everyone gathered in front of the window, he couldn't help but make a sound.

"This is the son of the Xi family, but it's amazing! This Xi family is so good, he is the richest man on this side, and he has that ten thousand family wealth, this little boy likes to wander around on weekdays, and he is also generous, and everyone regards him as the god of wealth. In the past few days, I have fallen in love with gambling, and I heard that the gambling is very large, and every time he comes, it can cause a sensation.

Xiao Yi and the others were all smacking, thinking that such a big gambling house, one would lose half of it, and this bet was really big enough! Even the onion straightened up and looked out. The guy saw that everyone was listening energetically, and he was even more energetic, but he thought that there were still dishes to be served, so he had to apologize,

"Drinks and food will come soon, right away!"

Tong Lu said to him,

"Come and talk to us later!"

That guy is a man with a broken mouth, and it's rare that someone likes to listen to him, so he hehe, hey, hey, go to eat and drink first.

The crowd outside the window dispersed, and everyone returned to their seats, Tong Lu ate a small snack and said,

"It's good to have money, no matter how much you lose, double it yourself, and if you win, you will turn the tables around. Therefore, it is said that ten fortunes and nine losses, the winners are gambling houses or the owners who accept when they see a good situation, and those who gamble for a long time are difficult not to lose. But then again, the surname Xi is extremely uncommon!"

"It's hard to see this surname, but we're used to it!"

This broken-mouthed guy came in with food and immediately picked up,

"I heard that this surname is the surname of a country, and no one knows where it is. Although the Xi family is not a native of Yazhou, but it has also been rooted here for hundreds of years, and I have heard that this Xi family moved to Yazhou back then, bringing countless amounts of money, and since then it has been this party rich. ”

Xiao Yi asked him,

"Then is the young master of the Xi family the only son in the family?! He gambles so much, and the family doesn't care?"

Guy laughs,

"No, although the Xi family is rich and powerful, the people are not prosperous, and they have been passed down for generations. But it can be passed down to the generation of the little son, but Mrs. Xi gave birth to two sons in one child! This is the younger brother just now, and as for the younger brother, we have only heard of it, but we have never seen it. Mrs. Xi cares for the township on weekdays and is deeply loved by the people, and because of her, the reputation of the Xi family has always been good. It's a pity that the good man didn't live long, she suddenly had malaria the year before last, and she died in time for treatment. I heard that her death is extremely ugly! It's really pitiful! It's pitiful! And this little boy's gambling is a big deal, and the old man of the Xi family is out of the house, but I'm afraid I don't know it!"

"Stinky dick, you're lazy and talking nonsense here again, why don't you serve the food quickly!"

The guy was talking energetically, but he was stopped by other guys passing by,

"A few slow users, I'll get busy first!"

Tong Lu noticed that the onion was not right with his expression just now, and seemed to be particularly attentive to his man's words, and after thinking about it for a long time, he asked him,

"Senior shallot, you care so much about this family, is that the son yesterday the eldest young master of the Xi family!"

The long hair on the shallot shook slightly, which already explained everything, and I heard Tong Lu say again,

"It's really true! At your age, do you also love to climb dragons and phoenixes! Haha, after you want to climb the high branches, you must not forget us!"

Shallot glared at him viciously, picked up chopsticks and picked up a piece of meat to eat. There are many children's words, and he said,

"Tsk, we just met these two brothers, but I don't think the two look very similar, this second brother seems to be much stronger, but I'm afraid that the old man of the Xi family is biased, and feed this second brother better!"

Bai Qing laughed,

"Lu Lu is really talking nonsense, you see that person was pompous yesterday, can you still starve him?"

A few people ate, drank and talked, and from time to time someone brought food in, and the little monk put a few vegetarian foods in front of him, and he ate very deliciously. It's still a lot of fairy tales,

"Let's go to the casino after eating and see how it goes! We've only seen small gambling before, and it's the first time we've seen such a big formation!"

Xiao Yi wanted to go and see it, but everyone just waited for the onion to nod. The shallot's eyes moved from left to right once, and he guessed the thoughts of several people, but he still pretended not to care, and only snorted lightly, and everyone knew that he had no opinion, and he ate and drank by himself. It is strange to say, this Yazhou Mansion is such a scale, there are many kinds of wine, but most of them come from other places, there are few of their own special wines, this restaurant is known as the first in Yazhou, although the food is good, the wine is much worse. A few people drank some home-brewed water, but they didn't feel any advantages.

After everyone finished eating, they went downstairs. It is not very common to bring a little monk into the casino. A guard had the intention of teasing and amusing him, pulling the little monk to prevent him from entering, and as soon as he raised his hand, he flicked the man's wrist up, which seemed to be an understatement, but he didn't know that the wrist had been dislocated. The man pressed his hand, still pretending to be fine, and turned around to go to the doctor for treatment.

When they came to the casino, although everyone was mentally prepared, they were still shocked. I saw that this hall is very large, up and down two floors, there is a big table in the middle, dozens of people around the table, is gambling vigorously, there are more than a dozen tables around the big and small, each table is surrounded by a lot of gamblers. Some people have ruddy faces, some people are full of sadness, some people are extremely nervous and laugh happily after winning, and some people cover their hearts and can't stand up for a while. Xiao Yi is strange, there are still many poor people here, looking at their clothes, they also know that their families are not rich. A few of them were dirty and sweaty, as if they had just finished their hard work and had staked their hard-earned money on the table. What's more, bringing a child with him seems to add a little luck by letting the child touch the cards. Therefore, what everyone is amazed at is not the scale of the casino, but that there are so many people who are good gamblers. These hundreds of people gathered here, and the greed of human nature was vividly displayed in this casino.

Tong Lu squeezed to the table in the middle, and said backwards from time to time,

"This is a bet on the size of the game, playing dice! This is simple and direct, and it is the most exciting!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the dealer began to shake the bowl, and the sound of dice in the bowl made everyone hold their breath and wait for him to stop the job. But the dealer did not let go, and shook it again, and he called out loudly,

"Hurry up, hurry up, it's still too late! Buy more, buy more! Don't regret it!"

After saying this many times, many people couldn't resist the temptation and increased the bet a little, thinking that they would be able to win big. Tong Lu looked energetic, and for a while he followed the left side to call big, and then followed the right side to call small, until the dealer stopped, and the audience quieted down.

"Four, five, six, big!"

The dozens of people on the left won, and Tong Lu also shouted,

"Oh, it's fun!

He turned around and shouted to Xiao B,

"Brother Xiaoyi, we still have some broken silver, why don't we play a few handfuls!"

Xiao Yi waved his hand,

"The money is yours, you can do it yourself. But let's save a little, don't lose all the time, then we will live in the wilderness again at night!

Tong Lu smiled,

"Hehe, don't worry, I have a little bit of silver, and it won't affect anything if I lose!"

Xiao Yi also wanted to take a look, so he pulled Bai Qing and squeezed to Tong Lu's side, one of them scolded and scolded, presumably because he had lost the money just now, and his heart was not very happy, he was squeezed by Xiao Yi, and he couldn't help but start a fire, but before he could have a seizure, he was dragged behind. One big and one small leaned on the side of Xiao B, it was the green onion and the little monk. The little monk had never seen this gambling table, and he blinked vigorously, Xiao Yi looked at the onion expression, and was funny in his heart, but he was afraid that he had never seen this thing!

"Here it is again! Here it is! Hurry up and place a bet, the opportunity is just around the corner, more and more, more and more!"

Everyone only thought about it slightly, so they placed bets nearby, and many people were not firm enough, in exchange for it, it was difficult to live. Tong Lu shouted,

"You say, let's go big or small!"

Bai Qing spoke first,

I guess at 12 o'clock, there will be three fours!"

Tong Lu took out the broken silver, divided it into three parts, bet one at a time, and if he was unlucky, he could also play three handfuls. He put one on the table marked the big one, and shouted,

"Big! Big!"

The little monk usually doesn't like to join in the fun, but at this time he was also excited, and shouted "big" with Tong Lu. Tong Lu joked that his Buddhism had the gambling ring, so he covered his mouth with his hand, but his eyes never left the dice bowl.

"Open! three, four, big!"

The dealer quickened the pace this time and opened the bowl without much words. Bai Qing jumped up and clapped his hands,

"Three-four!three-four!But I guessed it!haha!haha!"

Several people were very happy, attracting a lot of resentful glances. This first hand won the money, Tong Lu took back the capital, and prepared to bet on the next one that he had just won.

"Qingqing, you're really a god, quick, quick, what's going on this time!"

Bai Qing thought for a while and said,

"This time it's three, five, six, it's still big!"

Tong Lu hurriedly took it and waited for the dealer to perform.

"Open! three, five, six, big! still big!"

This time, Tong Lu also jumped up with Bai Qing, winning money twice in a row, and guessing the points correctly, but it was really rare luck! The gamblers also noticed this, thinking that this little girl was only afraid that she was a master, should you fight her in the next game.

Tong Lu put the bet he had just won again,

"Qingqing, this time, this time!"

Bai Qing looked around, many people were staring at her, she was a little panicked, and just said softly,

"This time, this time, it's still big! I guess, I guess four, four, six!"

Tong Lu hurriedly took out the money again and bet all the previous wins. Xiao Yi paid attention to the surroundings, and there were many of them who followed suit.

"Open! Four, four, six, big! This girl, you are really a god!

Xiao Yi was also a little excited, and even the little monk couldn't help but shout, this gambler's psychology is really difficult to suppress. Everyone was in an uproar and gathered around, this three consecutive guesses were right, it was not so simple as luck!
