Chapter One Hundred and Seven: Robbery or Gambling

The street at the entrance of Fuluzhuang is not wide, but it is very smooth, it is now afternoon, the sun is shining, but the people coming and going on the whole street are scarce, and it seems a little quiet and deserted.

This long street is a famous entertainment street in the local area, such as Fuluzhuang such a deep house compound one after another, or a number of storey pavilions, red bricks and blue tiles, the momentum is extraordinary, is a gambling house, green building, theater and other gathering places.

Don't look at it now, at night, the lights are bright and bustling, the whole street is crowded with people, and even the stalls and vendors will spread all over the streets at that time, providing all kinds of services. For the entertainment industry, there is no difference between the Ming Dynasty and modern times, the night is the lively time, most of the employees are night owls, like this during the day, cats are basically in bed to make up for sleep, and there are fewer guests who come here for leisure than at night, and everyone has to support their families and run for a living during the day.

Gao Jie and the others walked out of Fuluzhuang, said goodbye to the three brothers at the door, and walked towards the civilian area in the east of the city under their worried eyes.

Along the way, Gao Jie told everyone what Hu Laosan said, asking Yu Hongzhi and Ji Longfeng to raise their spirits and prepare for a fight, and especially told them to ensure the safety of Pang Weifeng's father and son and Jiao Miao.

Hearing that there might be a fight, Ji Longfeng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he was even more excited than seeing Gao Jie win a lot of money in the gambling house, and the small mouth on his head was also grinning to the maximum, and his face was full of expectation and happiness.

Yu Hongzhi was stupid, Gao Jie ordered to carefully protect the Pang father and son and Jiao Miao, so he copied the big iron rod in his hand, raised his vigilance, followed them closely, and meticulously obeyed the order.

Although Jiao Miao looked like a weak scholar, when he heard Gao Jie ask people to protect him, he just said lightly: "I don't need protection!" made Gao Jie surprised and annoyed, and said secretly: "Look at your powerless appearance, you haven't fought now, you can pretend to be cool and hang, don't be scared to pee when the time comes!"

Pang Weifeng was very worried, he hugged Ziqing and approached Gao Jie's side and said, "Engong...... Well, Xiaojie, in fact, I have long understood the purpose of you bringing me here, to let me know that it is not your own luck that determines whether you win or lose the game, but more about the arrangement and mood of the dealer. I've come to my senses, don't worry, I won't be involved in gambling again. There is not only the official power behind this ancient family, but also the underworld background, since we are not here to win money, why don't we return the money......"

Gao Jie looked at Pang Weifeng's worried eyes and smiled: "It's good that Uncle Pang understands the purpose of my trip, but I have another meaning, you may not know, that is, since the Gu family participated in the persecution of the Pang family back then, you should get some interest back by the way!"

When Pang Weifeng heard this, he was moved and worried, and wanted to dissuade him, but he saw Gao Jie turn his head to look into the depths of the street, and shouted: "Don't be sneaky, come out!" His heart tightened, and he hurriedly looked into the distance, but he didn't see a single figure, and he looked at Gao Jie suspiciously, and saw him holding his arms and hands, smiling, standing quietly, as if waiting for a fun game and performance to appear.

Half a minute later, there were suddenly a few slaps in the distance, and a figure suddenly appeared on the quiet and empty street, and dozens of people appeared in an instant, all of them carrying knives and sticks, and followed the three people and quickly approached Gao Jie and the others.

The Gu family, like Wang Quanzhong's Wang family, is one of the top ten wealthy businessmen in Puzhou, and it involves more industries, so it naturally hires many martial arts people to escort them. Fuluzhuang is the largest gambling house in Puzhou, and it is also one of the pillar industries of the ancient family, because the casino basically belongs to the underworld, the personnel are complex, and it is very easy to have abnormal incidents, so the masters of the ancient family stationed here are more than other places.

The three leaders are the leaders on duty in the gambling house today, they are senior brothers, all from the Jiangnan Five Tigers Broken Knife Gate, the leader is burly, the beard is Qi Gang, the left is wearing red, a little sissy is called Hua Ziliu, and the black and thin short one on the right is Qian Feng, the weapons in their hands are generally the same, all of them are half-truncated knives.

Qi Gang came to a distance of ten steps from Gao Jie and the others, signaled the people behind him to stop, looked them up and down for a long time, and then said loudly: "A few of you are quite bold, you dare to go out of our Fuluzhuang, I'm afraid you have come to the wrong place! I heard that you are outsiders, I guess you don't know the depth and shallow water in Puzhou, Fuluzhuang is open to welcome guests, I Qi Gang doesn't want to make a bloody death, acquaintances, just leave the money won by Qianqian, get out!"

When Ji Longfeng and Yu Hongzhi heard the word "roll", they immediately rushed out to beat people, but they were stopped by Gao Jie with his raised hand, and he smiled and said: "Qi Gang, right, are you Fuluzhuang opening a black shop or can't afford to lose?!"

Qi Gang was stunned, a little unsure of what to say. First, because he didn't expect to see this sword and gun formation, Gao Jie can still be serious and reasonable with himself, and ordinary people would have left their finances and run away;

A few years ago, due to robbery and murder in Jiangnan, they fled all the way to Puzhou, Shanxi, with three broken knives, they overwhelmed the crowd and occupied three of the top ten elders of the ancient family. They are all brave and ruthless, licking blood at the head of the knife, no matter what black and white right or wrong, Qi Gang saw that the scene taught to him by Qingyun, the "God of Gamblers" of Fuluzhuang, had no effect, and he was not ready to be wordy, so he raised his knife and ordered the guards behind him to come forward to grab money.

But seeing Gao Jie looking at the crowd behind him, he suddenly shouted: "Old man Qingyun, what are you doing sneaking behind?! I understand, I must have lost at the gambling table and felt shameless, so I found so many people to come to retaliate, alas, there is no professional ethics at all!"

When all the guards of Fuluzhuang heard this, they all couldn't help but look behind them. Of course, they knew that Qingyun was in the ranks, because of his brilliant gambling skills, he had the highest status in Fuluzhuang, and he was the actual person in charge, and this operation was also ordered by him, and this old man was really angry with Gao Jie, and his old heart was hit hard, and he couldn't relieve his anger without seeing the scene of repairing the hateful boy with his own eyes.

He didn't know martial arts, so he naturally hid behind the team, and suddenly heard the voice of the high-ranking man shouting to break the line of hiding, clearly saying that he lost money and people, and then saw that all the guards were looking at him together, with an expression that was the same, and his face suddenly turned red and purple, where could he still hide?! He shouted angrily: "Little ghost, you are a fool, who lost to you at the gambling table?!"

Qi Gang and the three of them had great respect for the boss of this village, and hurriedly flashed aside.

Gao Jie smiled and said: "Look, when I tell the truth, you will blush and have a thick neck, obviously your heart is weak! I have been playing in your gambling house for a few hours, and I have been gambling under your nose for so long, you don't say that I am out of thousands, and now I am going home when I win money, you bring a large group of people to block me, not to retaliate, is it to rob in broad daylight?!"

Qingyun's face changed black and white for a while, but he couldn't refute it, although the streets and alleys were quiet and uninhabited, he also seemed to feel that there were countless people behind the walls of the house who were listening to the jokes of him, the number one gambling master in Fulu Village.

Uncle is bearable, aunt is unbearable, Qingyun was furious, and only after a while did he say loudly: "You are not a thousand, how can you win so much, do you think that your gambling skills are higher than me?

Gao Jie looked up to the sky and laughed so much that tears flowed out, and everyone looked at each other, although they thought that Qingyun's words were a bit far-fetched and not credible, but they didn't think it was funny, and secretly said that this good boy suddenly went crazy.

Gao Jie's pompous performance was not recognized by everyone, so he had to accept the laughter a little embarrassed, wiped the heartfelt laughter and tears on his cheeks with his sleeve, coughed a few dryly, and said to Qingyun: "It seems that Qingyun old man, you have not lost completely, and you are not convinced! Well, let's face a showdown in front of so many brothers in your village, who is high and who is low, who is strong and which is weak, at a glance, how about it?!"

Qingyun was so angry by Gao Jie's exaggerated laughter that he almost floated up when he heard Gao Jie's exaggerated laughter just now, and immediately responded when he heard the words: "Just do it, you will win or lose in one game!"

When the senior brothers Qi Gang heard this, they glanced at each other, rolled their eyes, and said secretly: "Old man, we are here to block the road and rob money, why are we gambling again?

It's just that Qingyun is in charge, so they didn't dare to speak out, so they had to take dozens of people to squat on the ground with Qingyun and Gao Jie. A large group of people squatted on the ground, watching the gambling in the open air, the scene can be imagined, it is too beautiful and beautiful.

Gao Jie and Qingyun won or lost a game, betting on the simplest dice shake, Qingyun as the god of gambling, the dice naturally carried with him, I saw him take out two jade dice, and out of nowhere to find a small sandalwood dice cup, and then looked back, and instructed a man to spread the exaggerated big knife as wide as the door panel in his hand on the ground, with bricks and stones to flatten, the right to be a gambling table.

He glared at Gao Jie and said, "Boy, you know the rules of shaking the dice, right?!The win with the largest number of points is simple and direct, everyone present is the witness, who will come first?!"

Gao Jie is a good young man who respects the old and loves the young, seeing that this old man was glared at by his angry beard, he really felt a little unhappy, so he made a gesture and smiled: "OK, you are an elder, you come first!"

The crowd in the audience, including Qingyun, no one understood what the gesture meant, let alone what "OK" was, but everyone knew the meaning of this sentence, so Qingyun did not shirk, in order to have a good state, he sat on the bluestone street without scruples, and began to shake the dice.

When it comes to shaking dice, Qingyun is angry, he has been engaged in the gambling industry for decades, and shaking dice can be said to have long been one, what time do you want, what time is it, you don't need to be like those old people who are indiscriminate, you must use mercury-filled dice, but in the gambling game of Gao Jie and Wang Chengming, he actually overturned in the gutter, wanted to shake eleven o'clock, but it was nine o'clock, it was really ashamed and heavy, although no one knew about this humiliating thing, but he still felt disgraced. He didn't think that it was Gao Jie who secretly made a move, because the confident old man thought that no one could make a thousand or steal chickens in front of him, the god of gambling!

Therefore, this one sat cross-legged on the ground in spite of the dust, adjusted his body to the best state, raised the dice cup and shook it in mid-air, drawing all kinds of graceful arcs and trajectories, the technique was extremely agile and elegant, and finally landed perfectly on the knife surface like the door panel.

After taking a deep breath and secretly making sure, Qingyun slowly opened the dice cup.

Two dice glow green on the face of the knife, each with the largest six. As a banker, Qingyun is sure that he has won, because of Gao Jie's humility, he is the banker, even if Gao Jie is also a master of shaking dice, he also shakes twelve points, and he loses!

Looking at the two six o'clock in front of him, Qingyun had a feeling of wanting to cry, it was too simple and too simple to shake it out, but today was different, this time the twelve o'clock moved him, immersed in gambling for decades, and suddenly there was a long-lost excitement and ecstasy in his heart. If it weren't for the large number of onlookers, he would have wanted to run on the long street and carnival willfully.

The onlookers of Fuluzhuang guards cheered with envy when Qingyun opened the dice, for them, gambling and martial arts were like a mountain, and the worship of the old man Qingyun was even more.

Gao Jie's side was lonely and lifeless, and everyone's mood was at the bottom. When these twelve o'clock appeared, it was already announced that Gao Jie had lost, and there was no chance or possibility of a reversal.

Pang Weifeng could think about it, he wanted to return all the money he had won, but he didn't want Xiao Engong to be hurt because of himself, so he gently pulled Gao Jie's sleeve and said in a low voice: "Give it to them!

Gao Jie turned around and smiled at him, his eyes were so calm, and his smile was so charming, as if to say, "It's okay, don't worry!"
