Shen Chaixing and Linglonger boarded the large building ship named "Yu Zhu", which is a passenger ship belonging to the Sichuan Gang, which is specially designed to travel between Beijing and Chengdu, and the Sichuan Gang has another sister ship of "Yu Zhu" named "Silkworm Cong", both of which are the names of the kings of the ancient Shu Kingdom.

The two originally wanted to buy it near Yueyang, but who knew that this kind of short distance could only buy loose cabins, and the better cabins were only for passengers who arrived at the end of the boat. Shen Chaixing didn't want Linglong'er to be too lucky, so he simply spent several times the price to buy a ticket to Chengdu.

The building ship is four stories high, and the third floor where Shen Chaixing is located is the most luxurious, and the surrounding guests are complex, but they all look like they are not rich or expensive. The fourth floor is home to restaurants, a casino and a sightseeing deck. After being full of wine and food, you can also enjoy the scenery of the Yangtze River. Although Su Zicui, the boss of the Sichuan Gang, was born in the underworld, he was very business-minded, and the development of this line made him a lot of money. However, some people say that in the business of these two boats, Boss Su is only a small shareholder, and the real major shareholder is someone in Jingshi, but he doesn't want to get involved with the underworld, so he hides his name. This brings endless reverie to people. Of course, some people think that this is a trick by Boss Su, in order to deter competitors and elevate himself.

Earlier, Linglonger and Shen Chaixing talked about their age, and Linglonger was just more than a month older than Shen Chaixing, so the two boarded the boat as sisters and brothers. Shen Chaixing also jokingly said at the time that if he reported how old he was, Linglonger would say it for an extra month, but fortunately he was the boss in front of him, and Linglonger smiled and kicked him to finish the job.

The cabin for two had two wooden beds and some simple furnishings, which was simple on land, but relatively spacious on board.

On the left side of the cabin was a man in his thirties with a neatly trimmed beard, always with a smile on his handsome face. On the right is a young couple, the man is in his twenties and thirties, his face is white and red, and his face is proud, as if everyone is not in his eyes, and never looks at people with the right eyes. It was only when he looked at the woman next to him that there was a strange glint in his eyes. The woman was about eighteen or nineteen years old, with a delicate face, a delicate melon seed face with a few freckles, fair skin, and a slightly thin figure, giving people a pitiful feeling, and often showing a frightened look in her eyes.

After having dinner on the ship, Shen Chasing Xing Linglong and the two came to the deck to blow the wind.

It was June, just after the great heat, the weather was hot during the day, and on the deck after the sun set, the river breeze was gusting, but it was unusually cool, and the two leaned on the side of the boat, while watching the scenery along the way, they chatted without a match.

Although Linglonger is used to riding on sea boats, it is also the first time to take a river boat like this luxuriously decorated river boat, which is mainly used for sightseeing, so she is very excited and talks endlessly. Shen Chaixing was still worried about Lan Yue's life and death, so his mood was not high.

Seeing this, Linglong'er asked, "What's on your mind?" ”

Shen Chaixing deliberately diverted the topic and said: "You said that these people we saw on the boat are the same on the surface, but do they have the same unspeakable secrets behind them as us? As he spoke, he pointed with his hand at a man in black who was facing away from him on the other side of the boat.

Linglong'er looked at Shen Chaixing's direction, and saw that the man was in his forties, with a thick beard on his face but not trimmed, and his eyes were broad, giving people a feeling of going through vicissitudes.

Linglong'er glanced at it and said, "This person shouldn't be on the same level as us, I just saw it." This person looks preoccupied, but a bit like you are. ”

As if sensing that someone was talking about him, the man in black turned around, glanced at the two of them, and turned to walk away.

Shen Chaixing suddenly felt a little embarrassed, but Linglong'er pointed to another pair of people in the distance and said, "What do you think of those two?"

Shen Chaixing saw that Linglong'er was talking about the neighbor on his left, so he said casually: "It looks like a young couple from a rich family." ”

Linglong'er said: "It should be a business, you look at the man's eyes and the woman's eyes as if he is looking at his own goods." ”

Shen Chaixing couldn't help but laugh when he saw Linglong'er speak vividly.

At this time, there was a person walking beside him, who was the neighbor on the right side of his room, and after seeing him smile and say hello, he whispered to Linglong'er: "Their family is not only in business, but also in big business." ”

Shen Chaixing frowned, obviously this person overheard the conversation between himself and Linglong'er. Linglong'er asked nonchalantly, "Whose house is it?"

The man seemed very happy to see that Linglong'er was interested in what he said, so he said with an all-knowing attitude: "There are three major forces in the central Sichuan region, namely the Sichuan Gang, Paijiao, and Shajiabao. ”

In Linglong'er's encouraging eyes, the man continued: "The Sichuan Gang was originally an underworld, but recently they colluded with the government and slowly embarked on the right path, black and white. The boat we are on now is from the Sichuan Gang. The gang leader Su Zicui, with one hand 'Shenyue' marksmanship, is invincible all over Shu. Pai Jiao is a gang of Miao people in Shuzhong, the most mysterious, and the most familiar to everyone is the 'corpse chasing' of Pai Jiao. Finally, there are three things in Shajiabao: gold ore, iron ore, and horse thieves. ”

At this point, the pair turned away from the side of the boat and turned in the direction of the casino.

The man saw the two of them walking away, so he continued: "Although the Sha family is rich and rivals the country, there is one thing that is unsatisfactory, that is, it has been five generations so far, but the ancestral training of the Sha family is to pass on the son but not the son-in-law, and the daughter-in-law but not the daughter. What I saw just now was Sha Junbao, the owner of the Sha family's generation. Although Sha Junbao has countless concubines, he did not give birth to a son. Three years ago, in Suzhou Shy Flower Pavilion, I met Tang Xixi by chance, so I ransomed her with a lot of money and married her back home. ”

This is also a common thing in large families, but Sha Junbao abandoned other wealthy ladies and insisted on helping Tang Xixi as the wife of the main family, for this reason, Sha Junbao's parents became ill, and it didn't take long for him to die. ”

After listening to the man's tirade, Linglong'er suddenly asked, "I haven't asked you who you are, how do you know so much?"

The man smiled: "The surname is Ye, Ye Maolin, a person from Suzhou, who has done business with the Sha family, so he knows this." ”

At this time, it was dark, there were few people on the deck, Shen Chaixing wanted to go back to rest, but Ye Maolin suggested that the two go to the casino, Shen Chaixing was unwilling, but Linglonger was full of interest, so she had to go together.

The casino was luxuriously decorated, and the dealers were all young and beautiful women. The two walked casually, Shen Chaixing had no gambling sex and wanted to leave. Suddenly, the curtain of the innermost private room flashed, and she saw that Sha Junbao that Ye Maolin said was also inside, Linglong'er was curious, and dragged Shen Chaixing in.

At the card table, in addition to Sha Junbao and Tang Xixi, the man in black who was seen on the deck earlier was also there, as well as Ye Maolin.

Due to Ye Maolin's prior introduction, Shen Chaixing became curious about Tang Xixi, and couldn't help but take a second look. Who knew that this move was actually seen by Sha Junbao, only to see his eyes show a fierce gaze, and said loudly: "Irrelevant people go out!" The waiter on the side saw that Shen Chaixing and Linglong'er were young and dressed ordinarily, so they wanted to invite the two of them out.

Seeing this, Linglong'er raised her eyebrows and said, "What's the matter?

The waiter said, "This is a VIP room, and the gambling cost is at least 1,000 taels of silver." The two of them can go to the hall to play. ”

Linglong'er took out a small bag from Shen Chaixing's arms, put it on the gambling table, and slowly opened it. Linglong'er took out one casually, handed it to the waiter, and said casually: "Find a knowledgeable estimate and exchange some chips, I want to play with both hands." ”

Everyone was stunned, that big diamond was worth at least 10,000 taels of silver, and this bag of diamonds was enough to buy more than a dozen boats like "Fisherman"!

The waiter carefully took the diamond away, and after a while, he sent over eight thousand taels of silver chips, and Linglong'er didn't mind, and went to the table with Shen Chaixing. At this point, the dice are played on the table.

Although Linglonger was negative and went to the gambling table, she was not proficient, she went up to bet on the size, won a few handfuls, and got a few hundred taels of silver, so she became proud. Next, he bet 1,000 taels in a row, but he bet on the wrong size, and he lost only more than 1,000 taels of silver. On the other hand, Sha Junbao won seven or eight thousand taels of silver at this time.

Shen Chaixing saw that Linglong'er was also having fun and persuaded her to go back, who knew that Sha Junbao saw this, smiled disdainfully, and sneered: "If you are so skilled, don't be embarrassed here, don't hurry home and wash and sleep." ”

Shen Chaixing, who originally wanted to leave, saw that Linglong'er was humiliated, but instead sat down and said with a smile: "I guess you have a good time, why don't I play with you, how about it?"

Seeing this, Sha Junbao sneered: "If you want to send me money, I can't stop it!

Shen Chaixing said: "I haven't played this, it's better for us to play simpler, one person shakes a dice, the other party guesses the points, guesses the right wins, if both sides are all wrong or all right, the big number of points wins, how?"

Sha Junbao asked, "What is the stake?"

Shen Chaixing smiled: "You decide, but it must be cash." ”

Sha Junbao listened to Shen Chaixing's words, and his heart was ecstatic, it turned out that Sha Junbao has loved gambling since he was a child, and he is very talented, and he also has a casino, so he is proficient in various gambling techniques. The only regret now is that I don't have enough silver, otherwise I can win the other party's bag of diamonds.

Thinking of this, he took out a 100,000 taels of silver exchange from his bosom, put it on the table, and then counted the original silver on the table, a total of 116,500 taels of silver.

Shen Chaixing took out the diamond pocket from his arms, took out twelve diamonds, and then pushed the remaining chips of more than 1,000 silver on the table together.

Casinos draw 1 out of 10, so there is always money to be made on both sides, regardless of whether both sides win or lose.

At this time, Linglong'er was slightly nervous in her heart, although she knew that Shen Chaixing's internal strength was amazing, but gambling money was another matter. After all, hundreds of thousands of silver is not a small amount.

Shen Chaixing knew that Linglong'er was nervous, so he smiled at her and said, "You and I don't care about life and death, do you still care about these things outside your body?"

Linglong'er suddenly realized in her heart, and a smile appeared on her face.
