The governor looked at Xiaoyaozi for a moment and didn't quite understand what he meant, and looked at Xiaoyaozi very suspiciously.

"Hero, forgive me for being ignorant, it is you who say that you will let go, and you who will not let go. How this matter should be handled, please make it clear to the hero. ”

Xiaoyaozi thought for a moment, and then whispered something in the governor's ear. The Governor nodded from time to time.

"Okay! I'll do it. The governor nodded repeatedly.

"Wait!" Xiaoyaozi stopped him again, "God knows this, you know it, I know it." ”

"Don't worry, I still understand this truth. ”

The governor rushed out and hurriedly shouted: "Lai toad come out, hurry up and get out of Lao Tzu." ”

In the governor's mouth, this toad is the nickname of Lai Tianxing, the owner of the gambling house.

Xiaoyaozi looked at the hat and cloak that the governor was leaning on the door just now, and unhurriedly put the cloak on his body, and the hat was on his head, he had to give the governor some time.

He opened them and looked at the rain outside, and couldn't help but sigh: "Don't worry, Master's will come to save you." ”

After Xiong Wei, Xia Yun and the old gang leader were arrested, they were first locked in a cell, and then they were locked in a room.

Xiong Wei would pace around the room, frowning at the room's furnishings.

Xia Yun was also in this room, searching everywhere to see if there were any mechanisms, secret passages.

The old gang leader sat firmly on the bed, sitting cross-legged without the slightest hint of nervousness or panic.

"Yun'er, what do you say is going on?" Xiong Wei set his eyes on Xia Yun.

"What do you want to say, what is going on. Xia Yun couldn't guess what Xiong Wei was thinking now, she felt that the current situation seemed to be a little complicated.

"What more could I ask, guess what?"

"I can't guess it, you usually have a lot of questions. Xia Yun continued to look at the mechanism in the room, she stood in front of a shelf, fiddling with the vases on the shelf.

"You say, we're being taken here. They started by putting us in a cell, and then they suddenly put us in the room. There were still two people guarding the door of the room, and I couldn't move. The more Xiong Wei said, the more he had no score in his heart.

"Hehe! I really can't talk about that. Xia Yun said and looked at the old gang leader again, "Why don't you ask the old gang leader?"

Xiong Wei also set his eyes on the old gang leader: "Old gang leader, tell me what is going on here?"

The old gang leader took a deep breath: "I see, there are a lot of articles in it. ”

"There are a lot of articles?" Xiong Wei's curiosity became even more serious when he heard the old gang leader say this, "Then tell me what articles will be in it." ”

"I don't know what the article is. The old gang leader shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly.

The more Xiong Wei couldn't get an answer, the more he wanted to know the final result.

"Could it be that the hall master made sense of the toad you mentioned, so he locked us up in another place?"

"One more move!" the old gang leader continued to close his eyes and recuperate.

Xiong Qi was in a hurry, so he simply ran to the old gang leader and whispered, "This is out of plan." Is there any other trick? ”

"Yes!" said the old gang leader without hesitation.

"What's the move?" Xiong Wei stared at the old gang leader with his eyes wide open.

The old gang leader glanced at Xiong Wei and motioned for him to come closer. Then let Xiong Wei stretch out his palm and write the word "wait" on Xiong Wei's palm.

"It's up to you to say that I just don't want to wait before I ask you. Xiong Wei was very unhappy.

They had already planned it. Let one of the henchmen of the old gang leader, that is, one of the hall masters who went to rob the prison with Xia Yun before. Let him pretend to betray the old gang leader, and then let the hall master take them to the gambling house.

The hall master asked Lai Tianxing to tell the governor the news. If Lai Tianxing was suspicious, let the hall master tell Lai Tianxing that because the hall master was the old gang leader's person before, he was afraid that the governor would not believe them, so let Lai Tianxing go to inquire first, listen to the governor's tone, and then make a decision.

Lai Tianxing's eyes opened when he saw the money, and if Lai Tianxing didn't go, he would give him some silver. He will go.

The hall master saw the opportunity to act and found an opportunity to release them. Then, they went to check the accounts of the gambling house.

As far as the old gang leader knows, the money earned by the salt merchants by leaking the salt tax will be taken to the gambling house to be cleaned.

Other accounts can be checked clearly, this gambling is not easy to check, sometimes you can lose hundreds of taels of silver with good luck.

The ostensible owner of the gambling house is Lai Tianxing, who is actually the president of the Salt Merchants Association.

They wanted to catch the salt merchant when he was laundering money, and then ask him where he got all that money.

I can't get out of here, I can't do anything.

"Hey, I thought I could take this opportunity to find out the secret of the salt merchant, but I can't get out now. Xiong Wei looked at the ceiling helplessly again.

When the old gang leader saw that Xiong Wei was fidgeting, he sighed again and said, "Son, I don't know what they are going to do now, so we can only brake quietly." ”

"When is this going to be, it's better to have a good fight with Lao Tzu!"

He jumped up from his stool and continued, "No, I'm going out and kill the two people who were watching us while it's getting dark." Then go and check the accounts in the accounting room. ”

"No! you can't go. Xia Yun reminded: "Don't say, we don't know where his account is now? Even if you do, how do you know that the account is dedicated to recording the smuggling of salt tax, which is not?"

"Why do I think this is a wrong plan now? Or maybe it's not well planned. Xiong Wei began to think about another plan in his mind.

"Then it's better for me to go directly to the Salt Merchants' Association and arrest the president. ”

"You don't have to go to the Salt Merchants' Association, you're here to arrest him. "But you can't go now." ”

Xiong Wei was a little impatient, "You said I came here to arrest him, so where is he?"

"The president of the Salt Merchants Association opened a gambling house because he was a good gambler. He would come every night. Not only will he come, but the prefect will also come. ”

Xiong Wei looked at the old gang leader with a puzzled expression.

The old gang leader smiled and said: "In addition to giving some gifts to the prefect during the New Year's holidays, the president of the Salt Merchants Association usually has to gamble and play in groups. However, the final outcome is usually that the president of the Salt Merchants Association loses and the prefect wins. ”

"Every time?" Xiong Wei was not convinced, and repeated again.

The old gang leader nodded.

Xiong Wei said in disbelief: "What is the president? Lose every time?"

"It's not a matter of luck. If, the head of the Salt Chamber of Commerce and my deputy gang leader fight, my deputy gang leader will also lose every time. ”

"What?" Xiong Wei fussed again, "Is this a question of the eight characters of the birthday?"

"Haha!" the old gang leader laughed and nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, yes, it's a question of birth." If you are good, you will be reincarnated in a rich family, and when you grow up, you will either be a prefect or a salt merchant. If you don't have a good character, you have to do coolies. ”

The old gang leader sighed again as he spoke.

Xiong Wei looked at the old gang leader's expression, and wanted to tease the old gang leader and said: "Your identity as the leader of the salt gang is not bad! Old gang leader, if you are given another chance, you will choose to be the leader of the salt gang, the salt merchant, or the prefect!"

"Salt Gang Leader!" said the old gang leader without hesitation.

"Why, didn't you say that if you are good, you will become a prefect and a salt merchant? Why don't you want to do it?"

"Fish love rivers and lakes and birds hate cages, I am a fish who grew up free and free drinking the water of the Yangtze River, why should I find a cage to bind myself?"

Xiong Wei nodded. "Got it! You're like me, what rules don't you like in officialdom!"

"Everyone has their own way of living, I am my salt gang leader, drinking wine and eating meat, why do I do things I don't like? Back then, Tao Yuanming didn't bend his waist for five buckets of rice, and I don't want to be in the same stream with anyone in the officialdom today. ”

Xiong Wei's eyes widened, nodded, and repeated, "Understood, understood." ”

As he spoke, he suddenly thought of another thing, and said suspiciously, "However, I don't understand." ”

"What do you not understand?"

"I still don't understand why the salt merchant and the prefect keep losing when they play together, and they keep winning when they play with the deputy gang leader, and if the three of them play together, who wins?"

"Haha!" The old gang leader laughed when he heard that Xiong Wei would ask such a question. "The three of them are together, and that's missing one. This is a situation that cannot exist. ”

"What are those two people playing?"

"There are more things to play, dice than size, pai gow, more. ”

"Then you can't always lose! Unless, the prefect is out of the thousands. ”

"Haha!" the old gang leader laughed again when he heard his words, "Child, it seems that you really don't know anything about officialdom." ”

Xiong Wei looked at Xia Yun again, usually, Xia Yun knows a lot more about officialdom than herself.

Xia Yun didn't know this time.

The old gang leader smiled again and told Xiong Wei about the original.

The president of the chamber of commerce and the prefect played dice together when they were younger. Always let the prefect open first, and after opening, if the prefect is eight o'clock, the president of the chamber of commerce will always say, mine is smaller than you, only five o'clock. Then, continue to shake. Actually, there are a few things he himself knows.

If the points are really smaller than the prefect's, he will really open them. If not, he prevaricated and continued to gamble.

Xiong Wei finally understood this time. "I am willing to lose for a long time. Did he bribe the prefect in such a form. ”

"Hey, you've gotten smarter this time!"

"I don't understand this, I'm really stupid. ”

"Unexpectedly, the officialdom below is much more complicated than the palace's. "Xia Yun is a celebrity in front of Concubine Zheng on weekdays, and there are countless people who please her. Even if she wants to please the concubine, she doesn't have to do it in this way.

"Son, you're still young. If you say all these things, it is estimated that you may not be able to finish them for three months!"

Xiong Wei sighed deeply. "Okay, so what do we do now?"

Just when Xiong Wei didn't know what to do, he suddenly heard the sound of someone walking on the roof.

He put his hand to his mouth and pointed to the roof.

Xia Yun and the old gang leader immediately knew what it meant. They were both ready.

Xiong Wei also clenched "Feifei" and prepared to make a move.
