Power to the government and the public: Qian engaged in business in ancient times

Chapter 20 The Way to Save the Casino

Wen Qian looked at the 100 taels, a trace of contempt flashed in her eyes, could she be someone with this amount of money?
Putting the money back into Chen Pi's hand, he said in a deep voice, "I want to see the owner of the gambling shop. You may not be able to do this! However, if you recommend me to the owner, I will speak well for you, and you will get the same reward at that time." Reuse! Would you like to?"

"Ah?" Chen Pi looked at Wen Qian blankly, not expecting that he was so ambitious and wanted to see his boss.

Then I thought, anyway, it was me who benefited, and Wen Gan was the one who offended his boss and was punished, so why didn't he sell it well.

"no problem!"

Chen Pi led Wen Qian to the backyard of the casino one after the other.

Xuancheng, Yin family.

After Yin Yue came back from Anle Town, she locked herself in Yuexue Garden and fiddled with all kinds of herbal medicines, except to prepare the detoxification pills that the Lord needs to take for the killers on time.

This detoxification pill is a one-off, and one antidote can only guarantee that the killer will not relapse after being poisoned for two months.

She wanted to use this one-time prescription to research the real antidote based on her discovery, so that the poison on A-gan's body could be cured.

Yin Yue was an abandoned baby who was taken in by her adoptive father. She grew up in a camp of dead soldiers since she was a child. Later, she was favored by the master and stayed in the Medicine Spirit Pavilion to learn the art of healing and poisoning.

She is very gifted, she can learn herbal medicine easily, and she can understand a little bit when she mentions it. At the same time, she was taught excellent lightness kung fu by her adoptive father Yin Shengxu, and the lightness kung fu is especially brilliant.

Yin Yue is deeply loved by the lord, and gradually her status in the entire Anyang Building is getting higher and higher, she is regarded as the young lady in everyone's eyes.

At this moment, an old man in black walked slowly through the long corridor and stopped in front of the gate of Yuexueyuan.

After hesitating for a moment, he directly raised his leg and stepped in, walking slowly to the gate of the inner courtyard.

Feng Cai, who was guarding the door of the house, saw the old man in black coming, his delicate face was slightly moved, he took a step forward, and said respectfully: "Boss Yin."

The old man in black is Yin Yue's adoptive father, the leader of the corpse camp.

Yin Shengxu nodded, looked at the closed door, and frowned slightly: "Where is Ah Yue? She...is still making detoxification pills in the room?"

"Well, Miss has been making pills in the house, and she didn't allow the servants to help." Feng Cai said, and opened the door on her own initiative.

I saw a busy woman standing in the center of the room. She was holding medicinal herbs. By the candlelight all around, the rows of shelves were filled with all kinds of dried and sun-dried herbs.

"Understood." Yin Shengxu looked at this scene with a look of relief on his old face.

After about a stick of incense, Yin Yue finally finished the medicinal materials in his hands, and then poured them all into the earthen pot. Watching the fire in the stove burn slowly, it took another half an hour before the fire was turned off.

At this moment, there was already a faint medicinal fragrance in the room.

Yin Yue immediately opened the earthen jar, and looked at six black pills lying quietly in the jar, each pill remained unchanged, with deep disappointment in her eyes.

Failed again!

She stroked the sweat from her forehead, turned around and filled the pills with a white jade porcelain bottle, and when she looked up, she saw Yin Shengxu in the room: "Father."

Yin Shengxu smiled and said, "Ah Yue is researching a new prescription?"

Yin Yue put down the medicine bottle in her hand, and shook her head slightly: "No, I was studying this prescription given by the Lord, trying to make a longer-lasting detoxification pill, but unfortunately failed."

Yin Shengxu's face turned green, and he shook his head in disapproval: "Ah Yue, the Lord didn't ask you to study this medicine, why should you make things difficult for yourself. Then... is boy Wen so important to you? It's worth your silent sacrifice?"

Yin Yue was silent, she knew that her adoptive father was angry.

Yin Shengxu also seemed to be aware of his gaffe, and sighed slightly: "Ah Yue, you should die! This is the real antidote for controlling killers. Only the master knows the specific ingredients of those medicinal materials, and they are warm and dry. That kid was poisoned by the Master himself, and you will not succeed in such a random preparation."

Hearing this, Yin Yue's pretty face became ugly, and she looked at the bottles and jars on the table with a little melancholy: "Father, I won't give up."

Yin Shengxu's expression changed: "Ah Yue, don't be obsessed with your obsession, otherwise... it will only hurt Wen Gan."

"Father, help me find out about the Lord..."

"Impossible!" Yin Shengxu left this sentence, turned and left angrily.

Feng Cai entered the room with two cups of hot tea, saw Yin Shengxu who was leaving, and couldn't help reminding: "Miss, why are you making the leader angry? You know that the leader is loyal to the Lord, but you still take the initiative to tell him , if you want to research an antidote that is out of the Lord's control, you are not afraid of the leader leaking the secret."

Yin Yue shook her head, smiled lightly and said, "You still don't know my father, he won't tell."

Feng Cai is a little beggar picked up by her, not from a corpse camp, and grew up in this Yin Mansion since she was a child, so she doesn't know much about her adoptive father.

"Yes, it's the servant who is talking too much." Feng Cai put the hot tea in front of Yin Yue and asked, "Miss, you have been locked in the room for two days, why don't you go out for a walk?"

"Go, go to the slave market to buy a few people and come back, and try to see if the results of the past two days are effective." Yin Yue narrowed her eyes, and a stern look flashed across her eyes.

For Ah-gan, some sacrifices are necessary.

"Okay, servant girl, let's pick some nice clothes for Miss." Feng Cai ran to pick clothes from the box with a smile.

Yin Yue, who was dressed in light purple clothes, left the mansion with style, and rushed to several slave firms, but she couldn't find anyone who could test the medicine that she was satisfied with.

Unbelieving, she began to wander the streets outside, intending to see if there was anyone who sold herself.

On the way she passed by the vegetable market, she really heard two women who had finished selling vegetables discussing today's market. A stout man who sold himself to bury his father came.

Yin Yue stepped forward with a happy face and asked: "Hi, excuse me. I want to ask what you said just now that there are men who sold their bodies to bury their fathers in the market. What happened? I was at the market just now, what happened?" Didn't you see it?"

Two young women were talking at length when they were suddenly interrupted.

The slightly older woman turned her head to look at Yin Yue in displeasure, and when she saw Yin Yue's appearance and putting on her makeup, her face suddenly showed contempt.

"I said this girl wanted a man when she was young? She still has to sell a thick man to go home, and she is not afraid of affecting her reputation and losing the face of her parents!"

Yin Yue didn't expect the young woman's words to be so vulgar, and she was stunned for a moment.

Feng Cai, who was catching up behind him, was so angry that he opened his mouth to fight back.

"Forget it, it's important that we find someone first." Yin Yue didn't want to waste time and miss this man who might be suitable as a medicine man.

Pulling Feng Cai, turned around and left.

Yin Yue of Xuancheng was working hard for the poison on Wen Qian's body, but Wen Qian met the owner of the gambling house very smoothly.

The owner of the Mong Kok casino is a middle-aged man named Hu Changdao, who is thick and thick, with a scar on the left side of his face, which looks hideous.

Seeing the accountant Mr. Chen Belt bring Wen Qian to the important place of the study, his face was livid: "Who is this man? Why did you bring him to see me!"

"Don't be angry, my boss. This is my former classmate Wen Gan. He is now a scholar. He said that there is a way to bring our casino back to life, and it can also make the business of the casino more than ten times better than before. That's why I said Bring him to see you." Chen Pi knelt on the ground with a frightened face.

Wen Qian looked at the cowardly Chen Pi and dumped the blame on herself, and dug a small hole smartly.

She shook her head rather speechlessly, raised her eyes to look at Hu Changdao above, and bowed her hands: "I'm going to be warm and dry, I've seen my boss."

Hu Changdao sat on the chair, looked coldly at Wen Gan who was saluting, and said in a deep voice, "You boy, do you really have a way to bring my gambling house back to life?"

"Naturally." Wen Qian approached Hu Changdao step by step, and talked eloquently: "My method is very simple, that is, to create a new kind of playing card, engrave a number on each playing card, and make four cards of different colors... ..."

Hu Changdao was attracted by Wen Qian's words, and listened attentively.

Soon Wen Qian explained the method of making playing cards, and told Hu Changdao the rules of fighting landlords.

Seeing that Hu Changdao had listened to her words, Wen Qian took advantage of his unpreparedness, her eyes glowed red, and a mental imprint was successfully left in his mind.

Seeing this scene, Wen Qian spoke even harder, and then talked about other poker games, such as bullfighting, combo, double mouth...

All of a sudden, there were only warm voices in the room.
