Chapter Seventy-Seven: The dealer is secretly suspicious
Zhouji gambling house, suddenly fired, gamblers from all sides fled in chaos, although there were few casualties in the square, but half of the roof collapsed, and the dealer suffered heavy losses.
At this moment, the crowd outside the gambling hall gathered in a circle, pointing at one of them with a sigh.
"This girl has been sitting at this door for a while, isn't she stupid?"
"Who knows, I just saw her rush into the fire like crazy, is it really a brain problem?"
"Oh, poor yo! it's a pity that this looks quite thoughtful......"
......
That's right, that's what they call me, who has been sitting on the ground for a long time. The fire at the Chow Kee Gambling House had been extinguished a moment earlier, and I was alone staring at the burned faΓ§ade, pursing my lips and deaf to the noise around me.
"Scattered, scattered, nothing to see!"
A few men dressed as men came over to disperse the crowd, and a few others splashed on the threshold with basins of water, and the black water mixed with the ashes falling from the thick smoke quickly flowed towards the door.
A lot of people who watched the excitement were sent away.
"Hey, and you, don't sit on this ......"
As soon as one of the guys stepped forward, I jumped up from the ground, and a flash of light from the colorful sword landed on his neck, "Please come to see me." β
"Girl, you, you have something to say......" he fell to his knees with a frightened thud.
"I said, I want to see the dealer of the Zhou Kee Gambling House. I narrowed my eyes, and my tone was a little colder.
"Alright, alright, alright, I'll go and call ......," he stood up in fear.
I withdrew the Yicai Sword and watched him fly into the Zhouji Gambling House.
There was a "clang" sound in the scabbard, and my heart froze, and I loosened my pursed lips.
"I'm sorry. I don't know who to say this, and there was a little apology in my eyes.
Zhou Kee Gambling House had just experienced a fire, and at this moment there was still some smoke in the hall, and half of the beams fell from it, leaking some daylight, and a lot of fresh air poured in.
I stood in this mess with a sword in my arms and a word, and there were many people passing by me, but they didn't dare to stay longer, and ran away after picking up important things.
"Distinguished guest, distinguished guest, who is the distinguished guest who wants to see me?"
Led by a few men, a large and fat man, about thirty years of age, who had a smile on his face when he saw me, but only for a moment stretched out.
"Girl, no, no, this woman, I am the dealer of Zhou Ji Gambling House. Dare to ask if you want to see me?" the dealer reached out and wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, asking cautiously.
I walked a few steps towards him, nodded and said, "It's me, I'm here to ask the dealer for someone." β
"Do you want someone?" the dealer looked puzzled, and squeezed out a smile again, "Dare to ask who the woman wants?"
"Hu, Qing, and. I gritted my teeth and said word by word, "He disappeared when he entered the Zhouji Gambling House." β
"Hu Qinghe?Hu Qinghe ......"
The dealer's expression froze, and he took a breath and thought for a moment, "The woman is talking about this just now." I've seen the inside of this gambling house, and all the customers who came to gamble today have escaped. Besides, this fire is burning, don't you have to run out!"
I didn't speak, quietly watching his every word and deed.
"As for what Hu Qinghe you said, it's really embarrassing for me. He touched his head, a little aggrieved, "There are so many customers in this gambling house every day, I remember all of them!
Xu was my gaze pressed him too tightly, the dealer lowered his head, and suddenly muttered in a low voice, "Also, I don't know what your relationship is with that woman, maybe he deliberately avoided you, seeing you so fierce...... Anyway, I don't have it here anyway!"
I could hear his last words clearly.
"Then I'll ask you again," I took a step closer to him, and my tone was rather calm, "do you know the owner of the alley?"
"Ten miles through the alley, but the ten miles through the alley in Jinling?"
I nodded to him, and I saw a smile on his very puzzled face.
"This woman, you think too highly of me. It is rumored that the big proprietor who runs through the alleys of Jinling for ten miles has always been mysterious, and he can count it with one hand that has seen his true face. I'm just a small dealer in a gambling house, how can I meet such a big person?"
The dealer seemed to have heard a big joke, waved his hand at me, and called "impossible" again and again.
I didn't change my expression, I just stared at him and said, "You really don't know him?"
"I don't know. He replied categorically, and the corners of his eyes bloomed with a smile, "If I can really get acquainted with this proprietor, then I will immediately close this gambling house and go to the alley to make him a shopkeeper." β
"Not necessarily. I whispered, "The second child in his store is very good." β
While he was stunned for a moment, I let loose my expression and hugged my fist with him and saluted, "I was offended just now, so I took my leave." β
He immediately smiled with his eyebrows, and also clenched his fists and said, "Farewell." β
I strode to the door with my sword in hand, suddenly stopped, turned my head and said to the dealer, "Yes, dealer." β
"What's the matter with the woman?"
"Just now I didn't say that Hu Qinghe came to the gambling house today, nor did I say that he encountered the incident. β
I was very pleased to see the smile on his face turn to consternation, then turned back and walked out without saying a word.
It is rumored that there are seventy-two gambling houses, the city of greed, and the pure land of bliss in the world. At this time, I wandered alone in it for a long time, but I had no interest in the exuberance and extravagance as far as my eyes could see.
I'm thinking about someone, and I'm looking for someone.
Hu Xiao...... No, it's Hu Qinghe.
Hu Qinghe was not telling me the truth, I already knew it.
And the dealer at the Weekly Kee Gambling House also hid something from me.
Perhaps one thing the bookmaker is right.
Hu Qinghe took advantage of the fire in the gambling house and the golden cicada broke out of his shell, and he left.
As for where he went and why he left, I don't know.
and the mysterious big proprietor who runs through the alleys......
I now wonder if there is such a person.
Or is it β
Hu Xiaoer, Hu Qinghe, Hu Dongjia,
It's the same person at all.
......
I thought so aimlessly, walked so aimlessly, and as soon as I looked up, the sun was already setting over Shangdu.
Bamboo lanterns are hung at the entrance of the gambling houses on both sides of the long street, swaying in the cool breeze, leading gamblers to come in a steady stream.
As I was walking forward, there was a commotion in one of the gambling houses.
There was a "bang", and a plain-clothed man was pushed out.
"Uncle, uncle, let me in!
"Get out, poor boy, don't pee and look like you're poor! Do you have the money to gamble? Get out of here!"
The plain man had a pale face, and pleaded with the janitor.
Sure enough, this happens everywhere.
I shook my head and sighed and was about to make a detour, when I heard a sharp cough coming from the doorway. I saw the man clutching his chest with one hand and covering his mouth with the other, squatting down in pain, coughing and wheezing.
Blood oozed from the hand he had covered his mouth.
"Ahem, cough, ahem!"
"Ahem, ahem!"
"Are youβare you alright?" I finally stepped forward, pulled out a clean handkerchief from my bosom and handed it to him.
The coughing man quickly took over and covered his mouth.
"Thank you...... he struggled to get the words out of his mouth, and finally stopped coughing and looked up.
I saw a mist rise in his eyes as they were directed at mine, and his cheeks were a hint of crimson.
He gasped, raised the corners of his mouth and said, "Thank you, girl." β
For a moment, I felt that his plain clothes had become a little more glamorous.
