Chapter 171: Wind and Rain
No skill can be mastered overnight, let alone stacking pai gow and shaking dice, these two skills have been inherited in the casino for thousands of years, if it is really so easy to come by, it is impossible to be in fashion for so long.
Jiang Yichen has no natural resources in martial arts, and he doesn't know anything about gambling, so Tinglan Gongzi never thought of training him to become a gambling master overnight from the beginning, but trained him in a targeted manner.
Listening to Lan Gongzi, it only took half a cup of tea to teach Jiang Yichen to pile up pai gow, and use more than ten kinds of simple and quick knife to cut through the mess to win Jiang Yichen, as for how much Jiang Yichen can understand and write down from it, she doesn't care.
The rest of the time was spent teaching Jiang Yichen how to shake out the full number of points, that is, three sixes.
And how to use a slight technique to transform, so that the one or two dice shaken out are not six, but four or five.
In a few hours, Jiang Yichen did not win, but it does not mean that he has lost.
At least he shook out nine consecutive full points to tie with Tinglan Gongzi, and it wasn't until the tenth that he made a mistake.
Specializing in the technique of shaking full points, it is not difficult to dominate the game of shaking dice and spelling points.
Of course, this alone cannot be described as a gambling master, and Jiang Yichen does not need to become a gambling master, but it is enough for most people to mistake him for a gambling master.
Youying is not only a good gambler, but also has a lot of crooked thoughts, and he is interested in profit.
He always thinks that he has great foresight, and he is willing to marry a rich man who is good at gambling, and he does not hesitate to exchange small profits for big money in the future, but he never thought that this time he was smart but was mistaken by cleverness, and was used by Jiang Yichen, causing the gutter to capsize, win the gamble, but lose his life.
As for the other four hall masters and Youying are gambling partners, but neither skill nor experience can be compared to the cunning Youying, therefore, as long as they are in the casino, they have always looked forward to Youying, saying that after Youying won five hundred taels, they were already overjoyed, and then won another thousand taels, they were already forgetful, how could they care about others.
When the five of them stepped on the Wei Ji Building, they had completely forgotten that the other five fellow disciples died after drinking more than ten years ago.
As a result, they end up as cold corpses lying in the rubble pile, inconspicuous and unnoticed.
It's a no-go area for most people in Jinju City, and it's rarely visited, so it's hard to find out how many people are hiding here.
Jiang Yichen's gambling skills, or the technique of shaking the dice, are not proficient, the big guy thinks he can see it, but he is slapped in the face by the result, but there are always real masters who can see the greasy.
At that time, the lively scene also attracted the attention of Zhao Taidou, the owner of the Taidou gambling house, who had been running the gambling house for many years, and his eyesight would not be bad.
However, the big boss doesn't care, it doesn't mean that the little boss doesn't care, the little boss Zhao Xunle has been staring with interest since the two sides shook the dice, and he naturally saw that this Zhen Gongzi's method of shaking the dice is not only jerky, but also will only shake it full!
Smack, smack, smack!
The crisp applause was particularly loud in the quiet night, and a figure slowly walked out after the broken wall, "Zhen Gongzi has good ears." ”
Jiang Yichen already knew who the person who was following him all the way, and when he saw that person appear, he greeted: "Zhao Gongzi is really so brilliant and eye-catching no matter when and where. However, is Zhao Gongzi lost? Watching and having fun in his own gambling house, enjoying himself upstairs in Weiji, it's just okay, and there is no fun to be found in this secluded place. ”
That figure is undoubtedly Zhao Xunle, the small owner of the Taidou Gambling House, and the clothes on his body are the same as the clothes he wore in Tinglan Xiaozhu that day, and it is difficult to be ignored in the dark night, unless that person is blind.
Of course, Zhao Xunle never thought of hiding his deeds.
Zhao Xunle said: "I don't know if this play performed by Zhen Gongzi from morning to night can be called 'please enter the urn'?"
Jiang Yichen said: "Zhao Gongzi, I am a little curious, I need to point to the end, and if I go further, my life will not be guaranteed." ”
Zhao Xunle said: "Zhen Gongzi hasn't killed people yet, it seems that someone has said to protect my life, Zhao wants to know, who is this benefactor?"
Jiang Yichen said: "I have no comment." I am also curious that Zhao Gongzi is not from the rivers and lakes, why is he always so concerned about the affairs of the rivers and lakes?"
Zhao Xunle said: "Alas, if life is always red and willow green, can not be happy with enmity, but also interested, if it is not for my father not let me practice martial arts, I would have already thrown myself into the sword and sword shadow, and now, if there is one or two good opportunities to peek into the secrets of the rivers and lakes, I always can't control this restless heart." ”
After Jiang Yichen heard this, he didn't know how to answer, is this really boring life, looking for fun everywhere?
Seeing that Jiang Yichen was silent, Zhao Xunle said again: "Young Master Zhen, do you know where this place is?"
Jiang Yichen said: "The forbidden area of Jinzhou is an empty street. ”
Zhao Xunle said: "Then does Zhen Gongzi know why this place has become a forbidden area?"
Jiang Yichen said: "I heard that it is related to the Huo family. ”
Zhao Xunle said: "That's true, Zhen Gongzi is not afraid of disturbing the Huo family's spirit when he acts like this?"
Jiang Yichen said: "I don't know if Zhao Gongzi can solve his doubts?"
"What's the confusion?" Zhao Xunle was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately, and said, "Cheng, but in exchange for your purpose." ”
Jiang Yichen really couldn't understand what Zhao Xunle wanted, and asked, "Zhao Gongzi is just out of curiosity?"
Zhao Xunle affirmed: "That's all. ”
Jiang Yichen said: "Knowing this, I'm afraid I won't be able to spare Zhao Gongzi's life, for the sake of Zhao Gongzi's life, I still won't talk about it, if there is a need for the Huo family's affairs in the future, I will definitely come to Zhao Gongzi for advice." ”
After finishing speaking, Zhao Xunle no longer saw Jiang Yichen's figure in front of him, and said with some anger: "Sneaky, if you don't say it, aren't you afraid that I will tell you about tonight's events?"
With a snap, the stone slab at Zhao Xunle's feet broke into two.
Then Jiang Yichen's voice came, "I hope that Zhao Gongzi is self-respecting." ”
*********
Three days later, Zhikezhai, underground secret room.
If it weren't for a major event, the various hall masters of the Earth Hellgate would not have gathered here.
Now that we're all here, it's clear that a lot of things have happened in the Hellish Gate.
But if you want to say Qi, it can't be said to be Qi, after all, there are two groups of people who are not in Jinzhou City, and they can't be there, and the people present, except for the door master Shang Que, there are only six hall masters here, namely one of the six tigers of the earth, Diqi Star Luoqi, Diwen Star Yue Heng, Dizheng Star Zheng Yi, Diqiang Star Yan Bingqiang, Dizuo Star Huang Qinglei, and Di Dog Star Lao Li.
The six people were divided into halls, and the three chairs in the hall were empty, and only Shang Que sat in the middle with his eyes closed.
Shang Que said: "What's the situation?"
Lodge said: "The fire is clean, and the remaining ash can be seen as two charred corpses, but they are no longer identified. ”
Shang Que said: "Can you tell if there was a fight in the house before the fire started?"
Lodge said: "Judging by the location of the ashes in the house after the fire, there should be no fighting. ”
Shang Que said: "Do you think it will be Qi Wanjun and Qiu Ye?"
Rocky said: "The subordinates can't be sure, but if it is based on the killer's methods, I am afraid that the two of them will have a perfect plan before they start, and they will not let the two of them have the slightest power to fight back." ”
Shang Que said: "In this way, Qiu and Qi should have lost their combat strength first, and then they were trapped in the room and burned alive?"
Shang Que said that although Qi Wanjun was injured and had not yet recovered, he still had the strength to fight at a critical moment, and with the company of autumn nights, the two should not be easily restrained. If the adversary has already poisoned them or killed them with a sword, why bother to set fire to them again?
Rocky's heart sank, and he seemed to have captured the key: "Fire is not used to kill, it is used to cover up the truth, and the two people in the house who were burned to ashes are not Qiu Ye and Qi Wanjun!"
Shang Que said: "When a killer kills, there is no need to hide the identity of the deceased. ”
Seeing Luo Qi and Shang Que back and forth, a few people in the hall also heard a rough idea, and their hearts were filled with anger.
Zheng Yi interjected: "Could it be that this Xiaoqiu and Xiaoqi betrayed the Earth Demon Gate and helped the enemy to deal with us?"
Without waiting for others to express their opinions, Shang Que said first: "Betrayal can't be discussed, it's just that you don't report it." ”
"Whew, just let them go. Shang Que sighed and continued, "Where are the other people's corpses, do you have eyebrows?"
The corpses that Shang Que asked were naturally the corpses of the twenty hall masters who had disappeared one after another in the past four days, although they had not yet been found out, but Shang Que had basically concluded that these twenty people had lost their lives, and the only clear clue was that after the five hall masters of Youying and "Zhen Gongzi" left from Weiji Building four days ago, they disappeared on the second day.
Rocky responded: "Haven't found out yet." ”
Shang Que opened his eyes and said lightly: "If the other party is only one person, then where in the city can easily dispose of the corpse?"
"In the city?" After hesitating for a while, Rocky exclaimed, "The place where 'Zhen Gongzi' settled is in the Yelai Inn in the west of the city, if it is nearby...... I'll take a look. ”
Shang Que said: "No need. There happened to be no one there at this time, and if you go, you will just give your life in vain. ”
Rocky knelt down on one knee and confessed: "My subordinates are incompetent. ”
The remaining five people were about to kneel down when they saw this, but they were stopped by Shang Que with a cold snort, "Get up." ”
Rocky didn't dare to disobey his orders and stood up.
Shang Que closed his eyes again, as if opening his eyes was a very reluctant thing for him, maybe not seeing the situation in front of him would make him calmer.
In silence, Shang Que slowly spoke: "Early in the morning five days ago, since Liao Shan's accidental death, this 'Zhen Gongzi' launched an operation against the Earth Evil Gate.
Hu Sanchi probably cleaned up on that day.
As for Mo Wenliu's gambling contract to go to the junior outside, he was already killing himself.
And Zou Geng, Wu Ming, and Ye Zong took their lives in vain, thinking that it should be this 'Zhen Gongzi' who will plan and kill people with a knife.
Four days ago, he lured Youying five people to take the bait in the Taidou gambling house, and after pouring five drunkards in Weiji Lou to the point that they didn't know who was going to work, he took them to the west of the city to be disposed of, so these six people disappeared the next day.
Next, the brothers went separately to investigate, and they were also secretly closed one by one.
Today, except for the brothers brought out by the two deputy sect masters, there are only seven of us left in the seventy-two stars of the Earth Demon Gate. ”
