The night sinks like water, Wan Lai is silent, except for the two lanterns with the word "willow" hanging in front of the gate in the whole Liufu, the other places have long been pitch black, Liu Ningshi, who is wearing a light cyan silk shirt, is wearing a vermilion cotton cloak, and walks by the pond with a lantern in his hand.

I remember when I was five years old, Liu Yuanzhi pulled the shy and young Liu Ningshi into Liu's Mansion for the first time, and said to Liu Qingyao: "In the future, Ningshi will be my daughter, you have to treat your sister well." ”

Six-year-old Liu Qingyao happily pulled Liu Ningshi and promised: "Sister, my sister will not let anyone bully you in the future; ”

"Hmm. Liu Ningshi pursed her lips and nodded.

More than ten years have passed in a blink of an eye, and the two of them will watch the carp by the pond every year, and the son of the Tobe squire has come to the house to hire a while ago, and he wants to marry his sister, but because of these murderers, everything has become different.

Liu Ningshi sighed lightly, thinking of this sister who had been the best to her since she was a child, and secretly swore in her heart: "No matter what the price is, I will find a way to heal her." ”

"Who is it?" Liu Ningshi's heart tightened, and a dark shadow flashed from the corner of his eye.

Liu Ningshi's body was faster than her voice, and with a little feet, she chased from the pond to the east wing with a few ups and downs.

"Hmm, why is the black shadow gone?So familiar with the roads in the mansion, could it be a person from the mansion?" Liu Ningshi frowned.

Liu Ningshi explored the surrounding situation while thinking, and unconsciously came to a quaint wooden door.

"This is my father's study?" Liu Ningshi held a lantern in her left hand and pushed the door in her right hand, and a little dust fell from the door frame.

Liu Ningshi waved her right hand to disperse the dust: "Father's study is still the same as before, unpretentious. ”

The bookshelves around the study are piled up with all kinds of books, and there is a green wood desk and a Taishi chair in front of the innermost bookshelf in the study; there are three wolf hairs of different sizes hanging on the pen stand in the upper right corner of the desk, and the ink in the inkstone engraved with the word "Yuan Zhi" on the side of the pen stand has long dried up; the writing of the two books of music and rites placed in the upper left corner of the desk is full of dust, and it seems that no one has cleaned it for a long time.

Liu Ningshi walked around the bookshelf, and finally came to the desk, took out a handkerchief from her waist and wiped the two books of music and etiquette, while muttering to herself: "When I was a child, I was reprimanded by my father for learning etiquette and music with my sister. ”

"Hmm, what is this?" Liu Ningshi picked up a note that fell between the two books: "If you want to know Liu Yuanzhi's whereabouts, come to the Providence Casino." ”

"The ink hasn't dried yet, could it be that the black shadow left behind?" Liu Ningshi pondered: "No matter what, this is a clue, worth exploring." ”

Fengyuan Inn is not big, the guests here teach three Kowloon, the scholars who rush to take the exam, the businessmen who do business, and the craftsmen who like to come here to drink a few cups after work, there is everything. This day is no exception, more than a dozen tables in the lobby of the inn have already been filled with people, some drink and punch, some pour themselves drinks, and some drink and sing, showing all kinds of life.

In front of a small table in the innermost part of the lobby, a fat young man in fancy clothes stared at Tong Bo who was drinking tea opposite him with a sad face: "Xiangyun, what do you want to do when you make an appointment to this ghost place? Last time, I owed a lot of favors to others to help you find out what Yin Ying and Chen Wenchang did." ”

Tong Bo slowly put down the teacup in his hand: "I want to go to the Providence Casino to make some extra money, but I am shy and have no gambling book, so I have to find a way." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, you guys who pick the door will go to gamble? I think eighty percent want to investigate some case, right?" the fat boy tapped on the table with two fingers.

"Oh, you can see this, and sure enough, Brother Su knows my heart. Tong Bo smiled: "Actually, I just want a name card for the underground gambling arena." ”

The fat boy listened to Tong Bo's words, and a mouthful of wine in his mouth was almost squirted out: "What, it's so big, do you know how difficult this post is?"

"I said Brother Su, you are not a good gambler. It's nothing more than reselling famous posts to make some wine money, but if this is known by Miss Rufeng, what do you think?" Tong Bo whispered into the fat boy's ear.

"Hey, forget it!" the fat young man sighed: "This post, together with the one you owe me before, is a total of two hundred taels of silver, how about it?"

"Deal. But the money still has to be owed first. Tong Bo gently patted the shoulder of the fat boy who was angry and crooked.

Providence Casino is separated by an alley from Fengyuan Inn, and the number of gamblers will gradually increase during the daily unitary hour, and when it comes to the best time for business, Tong Bo, who is glued to a mustache and dressed in gray cloth, chose this time to go to the gambling house, looking like a full gambler.

"Two, three, five points small. ”

"Haha, I won another hundred taels, and I was really lucky tonight. ”

"Damn, Lao Tzu lost again. ”

With the moment when the dealer opened the dice, some people were really happy and some were worried. Tong Bo looked at the gamblers who blushed and yelled loudly, and laughed secretly in his heart: "Nine out of ten bets are lost, and the one who wins is always the one who makes the bank." ”

"Four leopards, fifty taels. A man with a thin face but a red face put a handful of silver on the pattern of three or four points.

"Are you going to buy it and leave?" the dealer stared at the man with a gloomy face, as if he was very annoyed by this man.

"Oh, man, four leopards are ten to one, but it's not easy to win, you dare to bet?" A gambler next to him looked at this man with an incredulous expression.

"Haha, I'm lucky today, do you believe it?" The emaciated man rubbed his hands excitedly and urged: "What are you waiting for, open quickly." ”

As the dealer removed the cup covered with dice, the gamblers around the table made a noise: "Look, it's really four leopards, I knew we were betting on this." ”

Seeing the emaciated man take five hundred silver into his arms, the envy, jealousy and hatred of these gamblers all came to their hearts.

This man is very shrewd, and after winning a big one, he no longer makes a desperate bet, and begins to bet on the long stream, and the dealer's heart is estimated to be eager to swallow him alive

"It's actually him, the guard of the Xuanwu Academy, Ge Er!" Tong Bo on the side squinted his eyes and watched the emaciated man's ears flutter slightly when he shook the dice at the dealer's house, and thought to himself: "This kid is usually low-key in the courtyard, but he didn't expect to be a master." ”

Tong Bo practiced the secret weapon for a long time, and at a glance he could see that Ge Er used his super hearing to hear the points of each hand, and this kid was shrewd, and if he lost a few small ones, he would win a big one, which made people unable to grasp the handle.

"Gotta find a way to make him lose. Tong Bo walked around the lobby a few times and placed a few bets casually, when suddenly a familiar figure came into his sight.

"Bet two, five taels. At the table of the fan stall, a head was tied with a green scarf, and a folding fan with the word "Qingfeng" was shaken, and a handsome boy dressed in white took out a silver ingot of five taels and put it on the pattern of the word "two".

"Buy and leave, buy and leave. The dealer said as he moved the white pieces with a bamboo stick in his hand, and once, twice, as the pieces were moved to the right by four or four, and finally there were only two pieces left on the left.

"Hey, lost again. Most of the gamblers around the table sighed, only to see the man in white continue to push the silver with a fan on the pattern of the word "two": "Together with the above, continue to bet on the winning silver." ”

"Damn, why did you open two again. As the dealer moved the stick, most of the gamblers started a new round of shouting.

Tong Bo looked at the boy in white out of the corner of his eyes, and saw that he didn't look happy when he won the silver, but instead looked melancholy, as if to say that this kind of game was too unchallenging, and he secretly laughed in his heart.

Tong Bo walked behind the white-clothed boy quietly, and said softly: "I didn't expect that Liu Gongzi's stall was so good, I don't know if I can also get rich in the future." ”

The man in white turned to look at Tong Bo in disguise, first for a moment, and then the smile in his eyes gradually became stronger: "Why not, the game is interesting when there are more people playing." ”

"Why did Miss Liu come here?" asked Tong Bo with a secret voice while holding the silver.

"Someone sent me a note saying that there was news of my father here. "This man in white is Liu Ningshi, who is dressed as a man.

"Whatever the purpose of this person, there is indeed a lot of trouble here. Miss Liu, since you're here, do me a favor. Tong Bo's eyes turned to Ge Er on the other table: "Go over there and do something secretly, let that person lose everything." ”

Liu Ningshi also glanced at Ge Er, who was excited over there, with a look of resentment: "That person just relies on ear skills, with Brother Xiangyun's skills, it is not difficult to win him all, why do you want me to go?"

"Because I'm lazy. Tong Bo smiled lazily at Liu Ningshi.

“。。。。。。 Liu Ningshi glared at Tong Bo speechlessly, and then withdrew.

"Why are these handfuls of bad luck, it's really unlucky!" Ge Er deliberately scolded after losing dozens of silver cars like a stroke.

"I said, man, you've had good luck, you see I've lost empty-handed?"

"I don't believe in it. Ge Er made up his mind to withdraw from the game after winning another big handful.

The dealer held the wooden Gu with both hands and shook it up and down, the three dice made a crisp collision sound, watching the dealer shake the Gu hard, Ge Er sneered in his heart, squinted his eyes and listened intently.

At the moment when the wooden Gu in the dealer's hand stopped on the table, Liu Ningshi's right hand knocked a silver ingot of five taels heavily on the pattern of the word "big", and the sound of the heavy blow of the silver and the sound of the wooden Gu suddenly mixed together.

"Five hundred taels, six leopards. Ge Er's eyes showed a confident look.

"Buy and leave, buy and leave. Seeing that the gamblers all took out the silver in their hands in the shouting, the dealer slowly opened the wooden Gu.

"Six, six, five o'clock. The dealer glanced at Ge Er, who had been stunned all night, and his face instantly improved.

"Impossible, how could I have heard it wrong? Obviously this should have opened six leopards?" Ge Er was surprised at first, and then anger surged into his heart, pointing at the dealer and saying, "You are out of the old man!"

"Brother, you can eat things indiscriminately, but you can't speak, when you won just now, can I think that you are all a thousand wins?" A cold glint flashed in the dealer's eyes.

"But。。。。。。 Ge Er was about to say something, but Tong Bo, who was watching the show, patted Ge Er's shoulder, and smiled at the dealer: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." This friend of mine will only say the wrong thing when he is in a bad mood, how can your brother be out of a thousand, please Haihan. ”

"Hmph, for the sake of this friend's face, forget it this time, if you talk nonsense, don't blame us for being polite. "The dealer saw that the silver had also been won, and obviously did not want to make a big deal out of it.

Tong Bo pulled Ge Er and said with a smile: "Friend, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, don't mind." If you can trust me, let's go to the table of the fan stall and transfer it. ”
