Chapter 103: The Covenant
The gambling game had ended, and Ding Sanye led Tang Tian and Xiaodao to the treasury of the gambling house to receive the colorful ice magnolia flower. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Chai Daguan because they are participants, so they also go together.
In a small courtyard to the treasury, there were thugs of the gambling house everywhere, and it seemed that the guards were extremely tight, and the most unfortunate thing was that there were no masters. Tang Tian couldn't help but be curious, and asked Ding Sanye: "Third Master, I see that although you are well guarded here, if a top master comes to steal the treasure, how can you watch it?"
"You don't know this, this financial source gambling house has been established a hundred years ago, there are semicolons everywhere in the country, rich and rival the country, these individuals are just used to guard against some chickens and dogs thieves, if there is really a person who does not open his eyes just to break into any of the semicolons, then we will naturally find the right person to solve this trouble. Ding Sanye said.
Tang Tian nodded frequently after hearing this, this is also reasonable, after all, there are many people in this world who work for money, and this was the case before Lanyue Pavilion.
"Then there is another question below, that is, why did the ice magnolia flower fall into the hands of this wealth gambling house?" Tang Tian asked.
"Hehehe, Meng Gongzi, this question, how to get to the gambling house and how to go, you better not ask more, there are rules. Ding Sanye said.
After hearing this, Tang Tian stopped talking, and followed Ding Sanye to the front of the warehouse. The storeroom seemed to be made entirely of steel, an iron door was tightly closed, and four thugs stood outside.
Several thugs at the door, seeing Ding Sanye coming, immediately stepped aside, Ding Sanye took out a key from his arms, inserted it into the door, and after a few sounds, Ding Sanye pushed hard, and the door slowly opened.
"Please, several. Ding Sanye said with a smile.
Entering the warehouse, Ding Sanye opened a few more mechanisms, and a secret door opened. This way stops and goes, all the way down.
"It seems that wherever there is a treasure, there are secret passages, and most of these places are underground. By the way, Chai Daguan, is your house still built like this? Tang Tian said with a sigh.
Chai Daguan snorted and ignored it.
Finally, the group came to a secret room with a small table and a box on it. There was also an iron shroud outside the platform.
"This is the Ice Magnolia Flower. Ding Sanye said.
"I said Ding Sanye, there are so many secret passages here, if you don't lead the way, I think the thief wants to steal something, and he may not be able to find it, I think your life is more important than the treasure here." Tang Tian said.
Meng Gongzi laughed. I will take it from you. Ding Sanye said as if he was walking aside, a mechanism was activated, and the iron cage was immediately raised, and then he walked over again, took down the box on the small table, and handed it to Tang Tian.
After Tang Tian took it, he immediately opened the wooden box, which was nothing more than a palm-sized piece of jade, and the relief carving on it might be an orchid. Tang Tian looked at the knife incredulously, then looked at Ding Sanye, and asked, "Could it be that this thing is an ice magnolia flower?" ”
"Of course it's not an ice magnolia, it's just a bidding credential. Chai Daguan looked at Tang Tian and put on a rare and strange posture of disgust.
"Ahh Tang Tian shouted.
"Meng Gongzi, maybe I didn't understand enough what I said before, the real ice magnolia flower will be bid in Yueyang at the end of this month, only those who hold this voucher can enter, these two days all over the country Caiyuan gambling houses are equipped with gambling games, with this jade card as the lottery, then all the people who get the jade card will rush to Yueyang's gambling house, and the highest bidder is qualified to get the treasure. Ding Sanye said.
"Otherwise, do you think that you can get the treasure of Ouchi for only 100,000 taels, and the rivers and lakes have been rumored for so long. Chai Daguan said with a look of disgust.
"Oh, I see. "Xiaodao and Tang Tian understand now, but they are even more confused. They obviously have this ice magnolia flower in their hands, and they will have to bid for it at that time, and they will make this battle so big, if it is a fake one when the time comes, I don't know what kind of turmoil it will cause.
"Meng Gongzi, I see that you are just an ordinary rich disciple, this thing will be bid by the powerful all over the country at that time, according to my estimate, you can't get it anyway if you don't have 10 million, you might as well sell your favor and let him go to me." Chai Daguan said in a slightly gentle tone at this moment.
Tang Tian secretly thought, it turns out that this guy doesn't care about this, he already knew that this is the case, so didn't it all make me win just now in a coy manner? But this is exactly what he wants. So he pushed the boat down the river and said: "I didn't expect this thing to be so sought-after, it's not impossible to let it go to you, I just want to rush to Yueyang to do a business, it seems that this way will be taken care of by the Chai officials." ”
"Well said, well said. As he spoke, Chai Daguan looked happy and was about to reach out to take the jade plate in Tang Tian's hand.
Tang Tianyi retracted his hand, put the jade plate into his arms, and said: "However, this thing was kept here by me before that, you also saw it, that Xu Daguan was crazy for him, it is difficult to guarantee how many people will shoot at you and me along the way, my family's bodyguards are obviously more powerful than your family." ”
Chai Daguan's hand was halfway out, but Tang Tian made such a scene, even if what he said was very reasonable, it was very embarrassing.
Seeing this situation, Bai Xiaomeng hurriedly walked out from the side, grabbed the hand of Chai Daguan, slowly withdrew him, and said, "What Meng Gongzi said is reasonable, then we will make up our minds, and we will go to Yueyang together early tomorrow morning." ”
"Okay." Tang Tian said, glanced at Ding Sanye on the side again, and asked, "But if we do this, we won't break any rules." ”
"No, no, when the time comes, the person with the jade card can bring the four people together, and if Meng Gongzi wants to open his eyes, he can also go in and have a look. Ding Sanye said.
"Well, then we're done. Tang Tian looked at Chai Daguan and said.
"It's not too early, let's go out with me, rest early. Ding Sanye said, and led them back the same way.
In addition to the places where people gamble, this gambling house also has a storeroom, kitchen, dining room, and guest rooms in the backyard. Tang Tian and Xiaodao were arranged by the third master of Nading to rest in a secluded upper room in the corner, and the place where the Chai officials lived happened to be opposite the door. But Bai Xiaomeng lived alone in another room.
After Ding San took them to the residence, he walked into the room with the Chai officials.
"The big officials are good, from getting up to sleeping, there are people who keep shouting for warmth. Tang Tian stood at the door of the room and said enviously.
"Don't you think we should go up and talk?" said Knife, clasping his hand to his chest.
"yes, wait a minute. Tang Tian said.
After a while, Ding San walked out of the Chai Daguan's room. "At the end of this month, I happened to be rushing to Yueyang to discuss matters, and we can set off together tomorrow, a few of you have a good rest, and I will go back first. Ding Sanye stood outside the door of Chai Daguan and said goodbye to him.
After Chai Daguan closed the door, Ding Sanye turned around and was about to leave, when he saw Tang Tian and Xiaodao standing at the door, looking directly at him.
Ding Sanye suddenly smiled, walked over with his hands behind his back, and when he walked in front of him, Ding Sanye suddenly clasped his fists slightly and saluted: "You Tang Hall Master, Tang Xiang Master, it's polite." ”
Tang Tian was suddenly startled, looked at the knife, and said: "The hall master is really not everyone can be the hall master, if I am the hall master, others will call me the hall master, and people who don't know still think he stutters." ”
The knife glanced at Tang Tian, turned to Ding Sanye and said, "I have a few questions I want to ask the third master, it's not convenient to talk here, the third master will follow us into the house." ”
"The subordinates obeyed. Ding Sanye replied.
The three of them immediately entered the house, and after closing the door, Ding San saluted again and said, "My subordinates will meet the master of the hall of Youtang, the master of Tang Xiang." There was a lot of offense just now, but it was also for the sake of the overall situation, and I hope the two of you will not be surprised. ”
"Oh, tell me, what's the big picture? Is it related to the ice magnolia flower? "The knife is only a few days of work, and the hall master does it in a similar way, and the majesty on his face is also full of energy.
A few months ago, his subordinates had received a message from the pavilion master, saying that the ice magnolia had been robbed by the thieves when the moon pavilion was besieged that day, and was sold into the Caiyuan gambling house without permission. Ding Sanye said.
When Xiao Dao heard Ding Sanye say this, he already understood in his heart that Yue Manlou had begun to plan how to safely send the ice magnolia flower to the Wanhua Palace after the Moon Battle a few months ago, and deliberately released false news to attract the attention of others. Needless to say, the things in the Yueyang Qilin Pavilion must be fake. "I wonder if the hall master has any questions he wants to ask his subordinates?" asked Ding Sanye.
Xiao Dao hesitated for a moment, if things were as he said, and he originally wanted to discuss with him how to get a golden cicada out of its shell and get rid of the people who were tracking them, then it would be good, even the matter of them with ice magnolia flowers had to be hidden, then there would be no questions to ask. Xiao Dao glanced at Tang Tian, and then said to Ding Sanye: "Let me ask you, since we have obtained the jade bi, after entering the Qilin Pavilion, how can we get the ice magnolia flower from the many buyers' bidding?"
"The news that the ice magnolia flower will bid in the Qilin Pavilion of the Caiyuan Gambling House has been spreading in the rivers and lakes in the past few months, not only the rich and powerful, but even the government has been keeping an eye on it. Ding Sanye said.
"Wouldn't it be more difficult to get hands on in this way, and the Caiyuan Gambling House must have more manpower. Knife said.
"No, this is where the Pavilion Master is clever, the more people watch, the easier it is to start, because no matter how big a disturbance is, there are many more targets to be tracked down than the people who arrest people. Ding Sanye said.
"Well, that's the reason, which means that we don't have to bid with them at all, just find a chance to grab it?" said the knife.
"Yes, with subordinates as internal responses, it will definitely be unimpeded. Ding Sanye said.
"Okay, I understand, you can go down and get some rest. Knife said.
"The subordinates retired. Ding Sanye said and left the room.
Tang Tian was already full of question marks on the side, listening to the movement outside the room, and when Ding Sanye walked away, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Why don't you tell him about our attack, this hot potato is really uncomfortable to hold now." ”
"Didn't you hear him say, these things were arranged by the Pavilion Master, and he doesn't know the real reason why we are passing through here. Knife sat down and took a sip of tea.
"Oh. I see. It's so big, even if the ice magnolia flower is fake and is known, then it has nothing to do with us in the end, because there are so many people staring at it, and there is a possibility that there will be any problems in the middle. Just convince others that the ice magnolia flower has been stolen. Tang Tian said.
"Yes, this pavilion master is still quite powerful. Knife said.
"But I still have a question, since no one has ever seen the real one, will this one in our hands also be a fake, used to attract other people's attention?" Tang Tian suddenly said.
"Hmm!!" Xiao Dao seemed to wake up suddenly, and looked at Tang Tian seriously.
"You see, the news released by the pavilion master will also make others question whether the Qilin Pavilion is genuine, and then the smarter ones will stare at the movements of the Lanyue Pavilion, and then the pavilion master will send the two of us out, wouldn't it be natural to suspect that the real ice magnolia flower will be on us? Tang Tian also analyzed very seriously.
This is not unreasonable. It's just that the purpose of our trip is to send the things in our hands to the Wanhua Palace safely, as for the truth or falsehood in our hands, the arrangement of the pavilion master is unknown. The knife slowly cleared up.
"Also, this ring is one ring, only the pavilion master knows, we can do our own thing. Hey, what are you doing? Tang Tian said.
"Go to bed. The knife had already walked to the side of the bed and was about to lie down.
"That's the master bedroom, you're a subordinate, and that little bed is what you should sleep in. Tang Tian said.
"You don't have to be like this when you sleep. "Little Knife Road.
"It's the same when we get back, do the whole show, let's go. Tang Tian sat on the bed with his ass.
The knife had no choice but to walk away and lie down on the boat at the other end of the room. With his hands under his head, thinking about what happened today, Ding Sanye, Chai Daguanren, Bai Xiaomeng, Dao Wantong, so many people appeared on the first day, this road is destined to be an unquiet road.
