Chapter 3: Catching Adulterers at Night

Xueluo was helpless, so she had to shake her head and follow Lu Manchen to breakfast.

On the second floor of Biyun Inn, Xueluo and Lu Manchen were chatting while drinking hot millet lean porridge.

Lu Manchen asked, "How long is Brother Xueluo going to live in Hangzhou?"

Xueluo looked out the window and said confusedly, "I don't know! I'm wandering around the world without relatives, what's the fun of having a full meal for a while, take me for a walk?"

Lu Manchen nodded understandingly, didn't ask and smiled.."Then I'll take you to a place in a while, so that you can open your eyes and make some benefits." ”

Xueluo nodded.."Well, okay, then hurry up and eat." ”

After the two of them were full, they went out of the restaurant, and Lu Manchen walked along the south of the city with Xueluo, and came to a house that looked quite imposing.

Iron Fist Casino.

Xueluo looked at the plaque and asked, "Gambling house?"

Lu Manchen nodded and smiled.."Yes, it's gambling money, I'm known as the God of Gambling, I'll see how I kill all sides after I go in for a while." ”

The gambling hall is about 100 square meters, and there are a lot of high-rollers gathered in it.

At the end of the year, many people don't need to work to make money, so many people like to soak in the gambling house, and occasionally win a little with good luck.

The basic gambling here is dice and mahjong, others and the like, only to see a bunch of people are gathered in a large circle, non-stop shouting and shouting, some people are still smoking tobacco leaves, smoke fills the entire casino, the smell is extremely unpleasant.

Lu Manchen squeezed into a bunch of people with Xueluo, and came to a large rectangular table, only to see a treasure cup on the table, and a burly man patted the treasure cup with his hand and said: "Bet bets." "The people around me are all going to be bigger and smaller.

After Lu Manchen watched one game, he took out a silver ticket and pressed fifty taels of silver on the second game.

"Buy and leave... Open. Dahan opened the treasure cup and shouted, "One, three, four, 'small'." ”

Lu Manchen took the silver he just won and smiled proudly..."Look, I said that I am a gambling god and hum, I usually rarely lose, come, you bet with me in this game, including what you have won?"

Xueluo shook her head and said, "You play first, I'll watch for a while." ”

Lu Manchen muttered: "If you are asked to follow, you will not follow, and you will not be given away for nothing!"

The dealer shook his dice and shouted, "Buy it and leave?"

Lu Manchen pressed the fifty taels he had just won plus the gambling book again. Lu Manchen won two games in a row, and suddenly became extremely proud and kept boasting to Xueluo.

But after the third game, Lu Manchen didn't seem to have so good luck, he always pressed down all the wins, and wanted to double the winnings, but he lost all at once.

Lu Manchen said unhappily: "Hey.. It was actually eaten?... Come again...", he took out the silver ticket on his body and pressed it down two hundred taels.

Lose again, "Oops lose again" Lu Manchen looked unconvinced, and went down again. As a result, he lost all the silver tickets on his body, and more than a thousand taels were gone.

It hurts when the snow falls.

Lu Manchen gritted his teeth and said indignantly, "Today is really a bad day! Lose everything, don't play, come back another day, let's go?" After speaking, he was about to leave with the snow falling.

Xueluo smiled slightly, "You lost everything, don't you still have me?"

Lu Manchen teased.."Wait a minute, your kid will also lose everything, brother, I can't save you?"

Xueluo smiled and ignored it, pressed one hundred taels and pressed one hundred taels more, and Xueluo's net worth was more than one hundred taels.

Open, the dealer opened the treasure cup and shouted: "Double six, three, fifteen o'clock." ”

Lu Manchen smiled and said: "Ouch.. You kid has good luck, go ahead and help me win all the bets back. ”

Xueluo nodded and continued to double his bets like Lu Manchen.

At the beginning, Xueluo didn't understand how to bet, so naturally he wouldn't bet with Lu Manchen. I watched a lot of gambling and listened to what time it was when I rolled. Naturally, he was on time to win, and even after winning more than ten handfuls, there was a smile on the corner of Xueluo's mouth.

Lu Manchen is smiling eyes have become a line.

At this time, there were faint traces of sweat on the banker's forehead, after all, everyone could see that there must be a door to win like Xueluo. Each bet is followed by a large number of people.

There were a lot of silver tickets piled up in front of the snowfall, about 100,000 taels.

Lu Manchen said with a smile: "Let's stop here today, right? It's not good to win too much, and the gambling house is not happy?"

Xueluo smiled: "It's good that I'm happy, it's good if I don't win more this time, I want to win again, anyway, if I play here this time, people may not welcome us next time." ”

At this time, a middle-aged rich fat man walked over, looked at the dealer and asked, "What's the matter?"

The big man leaned close to the fat man's ear and whispered about the gambling game.

The fat man looked at Xueluo, frowned, and said, "You're standing next to... I got it. The fat man stood in front of the treasure cup, looked at the fat on the snow's face and shook his face, and smiled: "The young man's luck is really good, it seems that he is still a master of the expert!

Wow.........

The gamblers were in an uproar, the head of the gambling house actually shot, but the iron master is known as the past ten years, the casino has rarely encountered opponents, and it has been closed for several years, but I didn't expect to shoot again today.

Xueluo nodded with a smile and said, "It's just a little luckier, since the master wants to play, the kid will accompany the master to play two." ”

"Hmm" The fat man nodded his fat head, and called a thin man who looked like a monkey next to him, and Xiao Liu went upstairs to get 500,000 taels of silver tickets.

After Xiao Liu came to the table with a thick silver ticket, the fat man began to shake the dice slowly, and then slowly accelerated.

It's so fast, the people next to me feel dazzled and can't stop sighing. With a bang, the treasure cup fell on the table, and the fat man looked at Xueluo and said with a smile and politeness: "Childe, please bet?" Tie Master has always been very confident in his gambling skills.

Xueluo smiled and pushed the pile of silver tickets in front of him to the top and said: "It should be about 100,000 taels here, and the master can make people count, and I will press small in this game." ”

The gamblers were in an uproar. The other gamblers saw that they were in charge, and they didn't dare to bet with Xueluo anymore.

The fat man looked at the silver ticket in front of Xueluo, there should be 100,000 taels, and said with a smile: "Childe's handwriting is really big." Then he slowly unveiled the cup.

One, two, three, six points small. "Compensate him" The fat man said to Xiao Liudao.

The fat man looked at Xueluo and smiled.."Childe is amazing, one more game?"

Yukiro nodded in agreement.

This time the fat man shook faster, faster than the last time, and the speed was dazzling. The sound of the dice hitting the cup is like a thread.

The fat man said: "Please bet?"

Xueluo looked at the treasure cup, smiled, and then pushed 200,000 taels to the "leopard" in the other corner.

"Wow"...... ,

The crowd is boiling. actually pressed the leopard, and there was a lot of discussion.

Lu Manchen persuaded: "Don't be impulsive, Xueluo, this chance is small and pitiful, you are actually all pressed!"

Xueluo looked at the fat man calmly, and replied to Lu Manchen with a smile, "It's okay, the master can open it." ”

The fat man looked at the snow and smiled, "Welcome to play next time." "I didn't open the treasure cup, and directly asked Xiaoliu to pay 200,000 taels for the snowfall.

The crowd is boiling, so it's all hit?

Lu Manchen laughed excitedly, patted Xueluo on the shoulder, gave a thumbs up, and laughed.."With your brother, I won again, this time it's a big deal.... ”

Xueluo was very happy to look at the full 400,000 taels of silver tickets, smiled very happily, and looked at the fat man and smiled.."The master has accepted." Xueluo also understands the meaning of the fat man's words, that is, don't come again next time.

Xueluo grabbed a lot of silver tickets and hid them in his arms, his stomach bulged a small bag, and he and Lu Manchen left the gambling house.

Xueluo is very happy, at least she doesn't have to worry about eating anymore. With this money, it's enough to spend it slowly, and you can almost have no worries for a lifetime.

smiled and said to Lu Manchen: "Today I have a treat, I have everything I want to eat and what I want to play." ”

Lu Manchen's eyes lit up, and he smiled.."That's nature, who let you win so much?" After speaking, he smiled and rubbed his hands and looked at Xue Luodao.."You said that I have been with you for so long, this.. That..."

Xueluo looked at Lu Manchen's expression, knew what he wanted to say, and slowly elongated his voice.."I............. Target. ”

Lu Manchen's face immediately fell, and he cried: "I've been with you for so long, or I'm taking you there, how can you say that there is no merit and hard work?"

Xueluo laughed.."Teasing you." Then he reached into his arms, took out a handful of silver tickets, about thirty or forty thousand taels, and said, "This is your dividend, am I interesting enough?"

Lu Manchen immediately smiled and crooked his mouth and said: "Interesting, interesting, haha.. Let's find a restaurant to celebrate?"

At this time, a young man who looked like a family man ran over and shouted at Lu Manchen: "Young master, young master, young master, I have found you, my master asked me to call you back?"

Lu Manchen looked at Jia Dingqi and asked, "What did Dad tell me to go back?"

Jia Ding shook his head and said, "I don't know, the master just sent the villain to find the young master." ”

"Uh......" Lu Manchen looked at Xue Luo embarrassedly, "My father told me to go home, it seems that I can't drink with you for the time being?"

Xueluo smiled, "It's okay, if you have something, then play another day." ”

Lu Manchen asked: "Okay, then I'll go back first, next time I look for you, by the way, where do you live?"

"There is an inn in the east of the city, room No. 36.

"Okay, then I'll go first?" Lu Manchen waved his hand and left.

Watching Lu Manchen leave, Xueluo walked back towards the east of the city alone, passing by a clothing store and buying two clothes.

After returning to the inn and putting the clothes back in the room, Xueluo ate lunch and went to the vicinity of West Lake, wandering aimlessly.

On the bridge, "Xueluo stood at the head of the bridge, looking at the surrounding scenery, and some scholars who came and went, sighing and chanting poems or something, or couples playing together."

The name of this bridge is Broken Bridge, but in fact, the bridge is not broken. It is the place where Xu Xian and the White Lady met, and it is called the title of "Broken Bridge and Remnant Snow" in the Ten Views of West Lake.

The old man rowed a small boat with a bamboo hat, passing under the bridge, and occasionally a couple with small children, running around by the lake, this scene is very enviable to Xueluo.

This afternoon, the snow fell to many places, Leifeng Pagoda, Baoshu Pagoda, and went to the temple to worship the Buddha.

The sun was setting、、、 snow was falling and I ended today's journey, returned to the inn, cleaned up my mood, ate, asked for a pot of tea, and tasted it slowly.

Listening to the other merchants in the inn and telling anecdotes, the inn was very lively, because it was during dinner.

"Do you know? Last night, the granddaughter of Liu Yuanwai in the south of the city was raped by flower thieves in the middle of the night. There were three people sitting at the next table, one of whom was a middle-aged businessman and said to the other two.

The other mustachioed man was surprised, "Isn't it? Isn't there a lot of bodyguards guarding Liu Yuanwai's house?

The man who began to speak said, "It's true, isn't my cousin a guard at the Liu family? He came to me this morning, saying that it was their turn to patrol last night." Now they've been kicked out, and they haven't been paid after being scolded!"

The man who had not spoken sighed with emotion: "It's a pity! A good girl's family has been ruined like this, and she is still a famous talented girl!"

The person who began to speak sighed.."It is said that the flower thief is very good at martial arts, no one knew at the time of the crime, or in the morning after the granddaughter of the Liu family woke up and found that she was raped, she cried in the room, and after the maid who went upstairs to serve found out, she went to tell Liu Yuan what happened outside. ”

After Xueluo listened to what the three of them said, she couldn't help but feel a little pity and indignation, what Xueluo hated most was these people who bullied women, since she said that she knew about it, she had to take care of everything.

When the snow had settled, he went back to his room and lay down on his bed, preparing to go tonight to check the wind and see if he could meet the flower thief, so that he could get rid of the evil.

.......

The wind was cold, there was no moon, and the cold stars flickered sparsely, and it was pitch black.

Snow fell through a set of black robes that I bought during the day today, and with the cover of the night, it was like a ghost, shuttling between the roofs of the west and south of the city in Hangzhou.

On top of one of the tallest buildings.

The snow falls like an eagle and looks down in all directions.

Xueluo has a strong eyesight and ears, so no sound of movement in the surrounding miles can escape his ears and eyes.

Suddenly, four figures appeared on the roof of the west side of the city in the distance.

Xueluo hurriedly sneaked over, and there were four people lying side by side on the roof of a three-story building.

Xueluo stopped on the side eaves of the four people, which were only about two feet away, and observed the four people, because they were very close, even if the night was very dark, Xueluo could vaguely see the faces of the four people.

There were four people, and there were three rugged strong men about thirty years old, all of whom had beards on their faces, and looked very similar.

I think it may be the appearance of three brothers, each with a simple knife on their waists. There was also a slightly long-bearded old man about fifty years old, dressed in a gray robe, but without a long knife at his waist, only a short knife longer than a dagger and a little longer than a dagger hung from his waist.

On the left, a strong man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist asked his companion in a low voice, "Do you think the thief will appear tonight?"

The other person next to him replied in a low voice, "I don't know, according to the speculation of the owner of the Lu Zhuang, the thief is likely to appear tonight. ”

The old man on the right said: "This lewd thief is likely to like to find some talented and beautiful women to start, last night was Liu Yuying of the Liu family, next time it is likely to be Zhao Xiaoqing of the Zhao family, we will wait here for the third watch, see if we can meet, as long as the thief appears, we will take it down." ”

The strong man next to him hummed, nodded and said softly, "That makes sense." ”

Xueluo listened to the words of these four people, and after thinking about it, she didn't know where to look for it, so it was better to follow these four people.

Xueluo was observing not far from the four of them, the only difference was that Xueluo knew about the four of them, but the four of them didn't know that there was such a thing as Xueluo.

A watch day...

Two watches..... Still no movement.

When it was nearly the third watch, the strong man on the left was a little impatient and uncomfortable, and he said, "Maybe this thief won't appear tonight."

After all, in the middle of the night in the cold winter season, people will feel uncomfortable and getting colder and colder if they lie quietly on the roof of the house and are inactive, and the blood cannot be circulated.

The old man looked at Zhao Fu in the distance and said, "Be quiet, be careful when people come and run away when they find us." ”

As soon as the old man finished speaking, he saw a black shadow appear on the roof of the Zhao Mansion in the distance, and immediately signaled: "Attention, someone is coming." ”

Xueluo also saw that the yin thief was floating from the south of the city, and it looked like the lewd and thief's light skills were very handsome, but unfortunately he couldn't escape Xueluo's observation.

The old man shouted, "Do it..." Then he rushed first. The others did not lag behind and rushed over.

The snow fell gently and landed on the nearby eaves, so let's see the situation for the time being.

I saw that the man in black saw the four people surrounding him, and he was not afraid and waited there.

The old man surrounded the man in black in four directions, and the old man shouted angrily, "The thief is so daring, he dares to commit a crime again and again." ”

The other three also glared at the man in black.
