Chapter 47 Industry
Zheng Sleeve didn't say anything more, she turned around and walked into her study.
The yellow-robed man walking on the walkway outside the study was very satisfied.
Some words are too clear to be meaningful, Zheng Sleeve has not paid much attention to the opinions of the Jiaodong County family over the years, and as he said, he has always implied a threat. However, unlike what he said, Jiaodong County has been unable to give a strong response and counterattack to Zheng Sleeve's threat.
Zheng Sleeve can leave Jiaodong County, leave Jiaodong County, she is still the queen of the Great Qin Dynasty, but Jiaodong County can't leave Zheng Sleeve, without Zheng Sleeve, Jiaodong County may be nothing.
Even if they had some mysterious and powerful cultivators, in the minds of the entire Great Qin Dynasty, they were even far less important than the Lingxu Sword Sect and the Minshan Sword Sect in the minds of everyone.
Especially after the recovery of Yangshan County and the Lushan Alliance, Jiaodong County seemed to outsiders like a glorious chariot, and its momentum reached its peak, but in Jiaodong County's own eyes, this chariot drove on the edge of the cliff, although it was powerful, it was too heavy, and it could not prevent it from slowly sliding into the abyss.
Because you can't give up, you can only wait.
It's worth the wait.
At least in the eyes of Jiaodong County, with the death of those around Zheng Sleeve, Zheng Sleeve was almost unavailable, and she was the weakest since she became the queen. Even if today's conversation was not pleasant, Zheng Sleeve was still unable to put up a fierce resistance, and could only be forced to comply.
And the next spring expedition is too important for Jiaodong County.
So it's as natural as all the streams returning to the sea, and all of this has come to the time when Jiaodong County must intervene.
The straying chariot must be back on track, with its general trend and irreversible, at least in the case of the yellow-robed man.
It's a pity that Zheng Sleeve doesn't think so.
"Even you think I'm perfect, and since I have no weaknesses, how can you defeat me?"
She looked at the white and flawless lotus canopy in the spiritual spring pool under the patio, listened to the footsteps of the yellow-robed man in the distance, and said indifferently in her heart.
......
Changling Silver Moon Gambling House is not the most conspicuous gambling house in Changling, but all Changling gamblers know that this gambling house is the most different.
In the seemingly ordinary three-in-one bungalow, there are dozens of tables scattered around, but there is a terrible business.
For gamblers, whether a gambling house is awesome depends first on the size of the table on the table, and secondly, on whether the gambling house is legendary enough.
Silver Moon Casino has both.
Few people can estimate how much cash is in the Silver Moon Casino, in the Silver Moon Casino, there is no upper limit on the bets on each table, as long as you can afford to bet, as long as you dare to bet, the Silver Moon Casino will take over.
The legend is that some people once lost an overseas fleet here, and some people were penniless, but in the end they won dozens of shops in Changling and won a street.
There are at least a few tables here, and the cash handled in a single day goes back and forth more than the treasury of a very wealthy family.
The bigger the plate, the greater the number of high rollers.
In the past, the dozens of tables in this gambling house were almost crowded, and there was no place to stand.
Today, however, the atmosphere is a little different, and the dozen or so tables in the innermost part seem to be too deserted.
The source of the desertion is the middle table, and the bet is on the simplest bamboo chip odds and doubles.
This kind of bamboo chip single and double is unique to some casinos in Changling, whether it is the dealer or the gambler's hand has a certain number of bamboo chips, each time before the bet, both sides can put any number of bamboo chips into a special container, and then the gambler will bet on the single and even, and finally count the number of bamboo chips to determine whether the gambler bets on the right.
This form of gambling is extremely fair, and the bamboo chips and the container in which they are placed are specially made so that even the practitioner cannot perceive them.
However, on this table, a middle-aged man with a slightly dark face and a very rich look has won more than 20 games in a row, and he is still sitting peacefully opposite the dealer, with no intention of leaving, and it seems that he will continue to win like this.
There was no one at this table except for the middle-aged man who looked like an ordinary rich man and the dealer.
In the case that the gambling house cannot determine the other party's cheating methods, the gambling house can bear a part of the loss and let the other party leave with the money, but the gambling house is also not a good hall, everything has its own rules, if you don't know the truth of seeing a good one, then continue to sit here and continue to win a lot of money, there is only a possibility of deliberately smashing the field.
The two old shopkeepers in black shirts had been staring at a corner of the room for a long time, and finally they decided that they needed to invite one of them to worship.
The worship that walked out of the inside was a man dressed in blue brocade, with a handsome face, it stands to reason that he would make an offering in a place like the Silver Moon Gambling House, with brocade clothes and jade food, plus being able to become an offering in such a gambling house, he must be a powerful cultivator, and his face will naturally look much younger than his actual age. However, the man's face was a little haggard and old, giving people the impression that he was in his thirties, but he had a face of forty or fifty years old.
His skin, especially on his palms, was overly rough, like a farmer who had been doing farm work all year round.
However, with just a glance, the worshipper of the Silver Moon Casino did not walk to the table where he was still gambling, but to another table where he was gambling, and sat down opposite a young man.
"Do you want to continue?"
He looked at the young man across from him who was piled up in luxurious clothes and asked without emotion.
The young man smiled, and the middle-aged man who looked very rich on the table, which was slightly dark, stopped.
"How do you see that?" the young man asked, looking at the worshipper with interest.
"You're not gambling, and the wins and losses here are small to you, so you're not a gambler. ”
The worshipper glanced at the wealthy middle-aged man, and then at a young man who was not far away from the young man and seemed to be just looking at the lively idler, and said, "Your cultivation is not high, but the attention of the two powerful cultivators is always here, so you should be the right master." ”
The young man laughed, his smile was full of satisfaction, "Wu Xuan, someone's judgment of you is really not wrong at all. No matter what your mind is, no matter what you cultivate, you are nameless and substantial. ”
The worshipper raised his eyebrows slightly, "How did you know my name?" ”
The young man didn't answer, but just said as a matter of course: "I already have strong enough strategists around me, there are many cultivators, and even many assassins and dead soldiers, but I still lack a grandmaster like you, who is strong enough to keep me safe anytime and anywhere. ”
The two old shopkeepers in black shirts glanced at each other, and they only felt that it was extremely ridiculous.
One of the thin old men laughed gently, but his voice was very cold, "This little brother, I don't know if you know, in the past, there was a dragon leader named Wang Taixu in the streets and alleys of Changling, he was supported by the Terracotta Division, and was in charge of almost the entire Changling gambling house Hualou business, but our Silver Moon Gambling House is still outside his jurisdiction..."
"I know that your Silver Moon Gambling House is a loner in Changling and a serious business. But what does it matter, most of the reason why the Silver Moon Gambling House can be like this is because you have such a strong offering. The young man looked at the old shopkeeper very domineeringly, and said, "The key depends on Mr. Wu's own meaning." ”
The old shopkeeper looked at this descendant who didn't know the height of the sky, and sneered, "Since you understand that I have Mr. Wu in the Silver Moon Gambling House, don't you know why Mr. Wu is here?"
The young man looked back at the old man with disdain and said, "I naturally know that his mother is seriously ill and has needed extremely expensive medicine for many years, so she is here. ”
"Don't you understand kindness?" The old shopkeeper suddenly became a little angry, and some of them were no longer willing to talk to the young man, so they wanted to chase away the guests.
"I'm not in a hurry when I'm young, why should you be in a hurry when you're so old. The young man looked at the old shopkeeper even more mockingly, and after a pause, he said: "Of course I understand what it means to be benevolent, but this Silver Moon Gambling House is my property, and the Silver Moon Gambling House is strictly my no matter how much he spends, and his kindness for so many years." I asked Mr. Wu just to respect his opinion and see if he wanted to stay here or follow me. ”
As soon as he said these words, the two black-shirted old shopkeepers fell into a huge shock.
But the young man was impatient at this time, and took out a dark rhinoceros horn carving plaque from his bosom and placed it on the table in front of him.
In the eyes of outsiders, and even the rest of the people in this gambling house, this Silver Moon Gambling House naturally belonged to the property of these two old men, but these two old men knew very well that they were just taking care of this gambling house for others.
This gambling house has changed hands several times, but the person who owns this carved plaque is the real owner of this gambling house.
It's just that they couldn't have imagined that the current owner of this gambling house would be such a young man.
Wu Xuan had been listening to the conversation between the shopkeeper and the young man in silence, and it was only at this time that he took a deep breath and prepared to speak.
"Actually, I don't want you to refuse, because the matter is a bit urgent, and only a cultivator like you can handle it. The young man restrained his smile, looked at him solemnly, and said, "It will be more dangerous for you to follow me, but if you refuse, I will not force it, you are here to help me continue to look at this gambling house." ”
"You are not hypocritical, whether it is kindness or business, you must first make it clear. Wu Xuan nodded, looked at the young man, and said, "I'll go with you." ”
The young man stood up, bowed to him earnestly, then put away the carved plaque representing the identity of the owner of the Silver Moon Gambling House, and turned to leave.
The two old shopkeepers were a little panicked.
"The owner stays..."
It was the old shopkeeper who spoke out before, and asked while busy giving gifts: "How did you win the bamboo chips just now?"
For the two old shopkeepers, this is their business.
They really can't understand how it is impossible to do the hands and feet of the bamboo chips single and double, how can the people under the owner do the hands and feet, the key is that since they can do the hands and feet, then there may be people who can do the hands and feet in the future.
"I like the direct means of violence the most. It is impossible to manipulate gambling equipment, but people can buy it. Therefore, in the future, if there are some things that you don't understand, don't start with dead things, change your thinking, and think about the problem from people. ”
The young man turned slightly to the side, glanced at the two old shopkeepers and the dealer, and said.
The eyes of the two old shopkeepers widened in disbelief.
I can't understand the problem after looking at it for a long time, it turns out that several dealers who were replaced before were all bought by this young man, and they opened big and small, but they were calculated in advance?
How much does it cost to buy off these dealers who have not had problems for many years?
This is indeed too violent and direct.
The young owner... It's really extraordinary.
"Who are you?"
Wu Xuan followed the young man out of the gambling house, looking at the several carriages and some servants in the carriages, he couldn't help but ask curiously.
The young man smiled faintly, "Xie Changsheng." ”
Wu Xuan was stunned.
"Don't be surprised, my Xie family really doesn't have such means. The young man saw through his thoughts at the moment, and said, "This has nothing to do with my family, and this Silver Moon Gambling House is just an inheritance given to me by a friend of mine." ”
Wu Xuan was still a little speechless.
"Very powerful, isn't it?" The young man was Xie Changsheng, he still had an unbeatable aura, and smiled, "If it comes to making friends and spending money, I am naturally extremely powerful, saying that it is second, I am afraid that no one can call it first." ”
Wu Xuan took a deep breath, and after following Xie Changsheng into the carriage, he asked, "You now have so many powerful disciples and servants, and there are not many people in Changling who can match you, but you still came to me on purpose, what is the urgent matter?"
"There was an assassination, and all the big people were involved. ”
Xie Changsheng looked at the rain outside the car curtain, and his face became extremely serious: "I have a friend who is inconvenient to come forward and needs my help." ”
