Although Tan Mingshan has entered the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, he was born with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a tall and a horse's big bones. He has a tough, skinny appearance, and his sideburns at the two corners are like frost and snow willows, showing a modest attitude. Tan Mingshan looks very similar to his daughter, as if carved out of a mold, with the same wide face and thick nose, thick eyebrows and big eyes.

Playing a small Tan Ming Mountain was influenced by the environment, and when they were young, they loved to gamble, because the three generations of their Tan family relied on gambling for a living, and Tan Ming Mountain was naturally keen on the gambling road. When he was young, he had studied under Zhang Xu, the gambling king of Nanyang, the industry called him 'gambling maniac', Zhang Xu was a well-known gambling king in Nanyang for a long time, he adopted countless disciples in his life, Tan Mingshan was one of his closed disciples, and later because Zhang Xu had a stroke, died in the secluded Taoyuan; Not only that, Tanming Mountain also involves horse farms, and the Tan's Horse Farm, twenty miles outside Yangzhou, is his gambling industry.

As Tan Mingshan entered the twilight of his life, exhausted, and keen on the racecourse gambling industry for several years, as early as two years ago, the main management of Tan's casino was handed over to the eldest daughter Tan Chaoying, and he was responsible for Tan's horse farm, as a big boss, he has become a veritable shopkeeper. However, Tan Mingshan's biggest regret is that he failed to give birth to a few more sons, the eldest son is just a daughter, and the second son was born with cerebral dementia, and he is a child with a mind of only four or five years old when he grows up.

Tan Mingshan warmly received Lu Tiandi and Hu Yidao, he had heard about Lu Tiandi's various actions in the casino before, when he saw this person, he was popular and elegant, and he knew that Lu Tiandi's ability was extraordinary, and it was by no means as simple as ordinary old Qian; The veteran of the gambling maniac was also surprised, as the so-called blue is better than blue, Tan Mingshan couldn't help but sigh that he was indeed old, and the era that once belonged to his glory has become a thing of the past.

After everyone greeted politely for a while, Tan Mingshan ordered the servants to serve tea and snacks, Tan Mingshan sat in the upper hall and looked at the two and asked: "I don't know where the two people are, when they first arrived in Yangzhou, they went to the old man's field to show their magical powers, and it is the honor of the old man and the little girl to meet today." ”

Lu Tiandi smiled gently: "Brother Hu and I are prodigal sons of the rivers and lakes, both of whom call the world and the four seas as their homes, and there is no exact whereabout, but they are just the first to take the opportunity to make money in the treasure land, and I hope that Boss Tan and Miss Tan will forgive me." However, Miss Tan asked for something to do, and I don't know what problems Boss Tan encountered, which made the two of them so worried. ”

Hearing Lu Tiandi's words go straight to the point, Tan Mingshan was not worried, he reprimanded the servant, so he sighed and talked eloquently.

It turned out that as early as a month ago, the accounts of the Tan Casino had already been in deficit, including the Tan Horse Village under its name, although the business of the casino has been booming, but Tan Mingshan has long been in debt, and he did not dare to divulge half a sentence about this incident, for fear that outsiders would not be able to keep even the current business; after all, the Tan family has hundreds of people, if it is in half a month, I am afraid that the casino and the horse village will not be able to open.

When Lu Tiandi heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked, the gambling stall business in the outer hall was thriving and thriving, and there was no sign of dilapidation at all, why was it as serious as Tan Mingshan said.

Tan Mingshan said: "A month ago, there was also a master like Gongzi appeared in all the casinos in Yangzhou, but this person is still a woman, she calls herself a rookie in Qianmen, and she wants to beat all the stalls in Yangzhou, and she has won all the casinos. The little girl and the woman to learn gambling skills, lost a million two businesses in an instant, and then this woman day after day, our casino has rules, has always refused gamblers, even if out of thousands, if there is no evidence caught on the spot, can only let the other party act recklessly; ”

"Qianmen rookie!" Hu Yidao on the side couldn't help but glance at Lu Tiandi, and said speechlessly.

At this time, Tan Chaoying replied: "Yes, we are in the gambling industry, everyone knows Qianmen, it is the originator of our gambling industry." Daddy said that Qianmen was exterminated by the imperial court as early as 20 years ago, and now the woman who called herself Qianmen appeared in Yangzhou, and this time she came to target us, not only our Tan Casino, but also other large and small casinos were defeated in her hands, and it seems that it is bound to crush our Yangzhou gambling industry. ”

"Who is this woman's surname, and what is her family background?" Lu Tiandi couldn't help asking.

Tan Mingshan shook his head and sighed and said, "Our Chamber of Commerce has secretly sent someone to investigate this person, but nothing has been found. However, this woman said that she was a person from a thousand doors, and she was bound to defeat the Yangzhou gambling master, and she also said her name, called Yun Xueqing. It's just that the old man doesn't look like a Han person, but a Yuan person. ”

(Note: Yuan people, in the Yuan Dynasty, the Han people collectively referred to the Yuan people as the meaning of the Mongols.) The Yuan Dynasty was the world conquered by Genghis Khan against the Song Dynasty, and the foreign invasion of the Central Plains was the first time in Chinese history that the Mongols invaded the Han Dynasty, until the later Manchus of the Qing Dynasty. In the 5,000-year history of Chinese China, in addition to the Chinese people who reigned Qin Shi Huang, the Han people ruled for thousands of years, only the Mongols and Manchus ruled the territory of the Han people. ）

"Yuanren?" Lu Tiandi became more and more interested in this woman who called herself a rookie of Qianmen, Qianmen has been scrupled by the imperial court for twenty years, and there is little news about Qianmen on the rivers and lakes, and now he heard about the whereabouts of Qianmen's descendants in Yangzhou, how could he not pay attention to this person's behavior in his heart.

"With Boss Tan's connections in Yangzhou, can you just let this woman behave nonsense and watch her crush your casinos one by one?" Lu Tiandi asked.

What Lu Gongzi said is reasonable, but unfortunately the reason is difficult to explain. This woman is not only skilled in gambling, with clear intentions, but also has unprecedented strength, we learned that the government has been secretly protecting her thoroughly, and even the little entourage around her are all martial arts masters, and others can't get close to her at all. ”

"Then I guess this person must be from the imperial court, but your casino has dealings with the local government, and the taxes and taxes are also paid truthfully, and the imperial court sent such a person, I'm afraid it has another meaning." Lu Tiandi said.

"That's why I invited my son here today for this purpose. Yun Xueqing won most of our casino business deeds, she set up the gambling king ring in Yangzhou seven days later, sat firmly at the head of the bank, and conducted a gambling competition by our major casinos, if she wins, the business contract can be returned, but if she loses, all the properties under her name belong to her. ”

"I understand, it turns out that you want my son-in-law to represent your Tan Casino in this gambling king competition, in order to win back your business contract. Hu Yidao suddenly realized.

"Exactly. Tan Ming Mountain replied.

Lu Tiandi was thinking a lot, if he competed with this Yun Xueqing, he would naturally be willing in his heart, and now he met someone from the same sect. It's just that the other party's family background is still unknown, and Tan Mingshan said this, he is not familiar with Hu Yidao, if he provokes the other party, won't it be a fire. Originally, they committed a murder in Jiqing Mansion, and now they have become a wanted fugitive.

Tan Mingshan saw that Lu Tiandi was hesitant, so he said with a hint of pleading: "The old man knows that Gongzi has some concerns in his heart, but I will wait for the Chamber of Commerce to ensure that Gongzi is thorough, and many casino owners support Gongzi behind his back, what else does Gongzi have to worry about?

Lu Tiandi looked at the Tan father and daughter, and stopped talking, he had a lot of worries in his heart, and he really didn't want to take such a big risk. But at this time, Tan Mingshan glanced at his daughter, and Tan Chaoying walked into the inner hall, but after a while, he walked out with a plate of gold bars.

Looking at Huang Cancan's gold bars, Hu Yidao's eyes straightened, which was more tempting than a silver ticket. I saw Tan Mingshan take the wooden plate, walked up to the two and said: "There are ten gold bars here, which is the last savings left by our Tan family.

Lu Tiandi hurriedly got up and refused, he said, "I didn't mean that. It's just that Boss Tan's entrustment is too risky, and he is really powerless, and he hopes that Boss Tan will find another job. Say goodbye first, old Hu, let's go. ”

"This ......" Tan Mingshan was stunned on the spot, holding the wooden plate at a loss.
