I have a weird dynasty

Chapter 161 Betting on Big or Small (asking for monthly ticket)
After Wei Wu got the clue about Hongyun Casino from Yu Da and Sang Que, he took Xue Er and Ma Zi to the casino that morning. He also mobilized a team of guards who were patrolling the city and surrounded the entire casino.

The gambling house was closed during the day, so Wei Wu had people bring all the people involved in the gambling house to the door and interrogate them one by one.

To be on the safe side, Wei Wu did not go into the gambling house himself. Instead, he asked several constables from the yamen to go in and search every place carefully to see if there were any shrines or places for worshiping evil gods, as well as any suspicious secret rooms.

The boss of the gambling house knelt on the ground and cried, saying that he was innocent. Wei Wu killed several of his men on the spot. Then the boss asked his men to recall the past and said that the men of the five families who died in Buyi Lane had indeed been to the gambling house one after another.

But there were many people coming to the gambling house in Buyi Lane, and didn't the regular customers of their gambling house have any problems? This doesn't explain the problem at all.

The detectives who went in to search found nothing. Wei Wu and the other two couldn't understand why they chose the five families in Buyi Lane.

However, Wei Wu was anxious to take credit for the work, and he was too embarrassed to call Yu Da and Sang Que to continue the investigation, so he could only order the gambling house to be temporarily closed.

The afternoon was peaceful.

At night, Wei Wu, Xue Er and Ma Zi were waiting in a restaurant near the gambling house. The gambling house was quiet the whole time, but just after midnight, two white-collar workers on night patrol came running in a hurry.

In Changle Lane and Kangfu Lane in the south of the city, people died at home, and the way they died was exactly the same as the five households in Buyi Lane.

Changle Lane and Kangfu Lane were under the jurisdiction of two other day tour teams. Wei Wu did not have a harmonious relationship with the two captains. Now, because of his negligence, something happened within the jurisdiction of the two men. The two men would definitely make trouble for him.

At this moment, the lantern hanging at the entrance of the gambling house suddenly flashed green and then went out, which meant that an evil spirit or ghost had just passed by the lantern and most likely entered the gambling house.

Wei Wu considered it for a while, and finally decided to take Xue Er, Ma Zi, and the two white servants who came to report the news to investigate the gambling house.

"Master Wei, we are just useless servants with no ability at all. Please let us go."

Two white servants of similar age begged Wei Wu that entering a place where there were obviously ghosts in the middle of the night was tantamount to seeking death.

Wei Wu drew his sword, "Do you want me to chop you down right now?"

The two servants were trembling all over, but their lives were worthless and solving the strange case was extremely important. If they dared to disobey orders, Wei Wu would kill them immediately.

Xue Er and Ma Zi watched coldly from the sidelines; they were used to this kind of thing.

Solving a strange case requires a pathfinder. If no one else does the exploring, then these two have to do it.

The two white servants were unable to compete and could only walk in front holding lanterns. Wei Wu walked in the middle, and Xue Er and Ma Zi were the rear guard.

The gambling hall is pitch black. Apart from the front and back doors, there are no other entrances and exits, nor are there any windows or timekeeping tools. The purpose is to make people who come in ignore time and have fun.

Under the dim light of the lanterns, the ground was littered with bamboo pieces, dice, and mahjong pieces, and the tables and chairs were overturned, making for a mess.

There was only one coffin lying in the middle of the gambling hall, intact, with the lid open and some copper coins scattered around and inside the coffin.

The coffin means "get rich when you see the coffin". Gambling houses that do not worship gods will always put a coffin there. All gamblers who come in will throw a coin in to pray for wealth.

Over time, there was a saying in the gambling house that if you touch the coffin in the casino, you will be unlucky and lose money. If you throw a coin from five steps away and miss it, it also means that you will have bad luck in gambling today.

There is also a second floor with independent compartments. There is also a pawnshop deep in the gambling house, which makes it convenient for those who lose to exchange silver.

All three of them wore masks of the Sun Travel Envoy, with tokens hanging from their waists and official seals in their arms.

After turning around, they found nothing. Just as the three were about to go out, a cold wind blew, making the three people squint their eyes and step back. The lanterns in the hands of the two white servants suddenly turned green.

In the middle of the gambling house, there was a gambling table. A red light came from nowhere and shone down from above, illuminating only the table top. The surroundings of the table were as dark as ink, and one could not see one's hand in front of one's face.

The two white servants retreated in fear, and Xue Er and Ma Zi also grabbed the long swords and soul-locking ropes.

"Go find the front and back doors." Wei Wu is the captain of the Jinyou team, and at this moment he doesn't seem panicked at all.

The two white servants ran to check in panic.

"Master Wei, the door is gone!"

Xue Er and Ma Zi looked at each other. Wei Wu narrowed his eyes, stared at the gambling table in front of him, took out a ghost soldier talisman, lit it, and attached it to his knife.

"You two go and take a look." Wei Wu ordered in a cold voice.

The two white servants were terrified and did not dare to approach the gambling table in the middle of the gambling house. Wei Wu glanced at Xue Er. Xue Er understood and strode over to grab the young white servant named Ding Yuan. With a slash of his knife, Ding Yuan's ear flew off.

Blood flowed down his cheeks and Ding Yuan screamed in pain.

Wei Wu's face was fierce, "Go over and take a look!"

Xue Er pushed Ding Yuan hard. Ding Yuan covered his bleeding ear, tears in his eyes, and walked towards the gambling table trembling all over.

"Go around in a circle."

There was nothing around the gambling table. Wei Wu only had the strength of level 3, 200. If it was really a ghost level, he wouldn't be able to see it at all.

After Xue Er finished a circle, the sound of dice shaking suddenly came from the dice cup on the table, and then it became quiet after a moment. Ding Yuan seemed to sense something. He stared with wide eyes and froze in front of the dice cup. The hand that covered his ears rose uncontrollably.

"Master Wei, I can't move. There's a ghost! There's a ghost grabbing my hand!"

Without waiting for Wei Wu's orders, Xue Er and Ma Zi pulled open the soul-locking rope and tried to tie Ding Yuan up with the rope and pull him out.

But as soon as the two men approached the gambling table, they were blown away by a huge force, fell heavily to the ground far away, and smashed several chairs.

Seeing this, another white servant, Li Yuan, was so frightened that he trembled all over and quickly hid aside.

Wei Wu looked around, thought for a moment, and then told Ding Yuan, "Place your bet."

Ding Yuan shook his head in horror, his face mixed with blood and tears.

"If you win, you may be able to survive. This is your only chance right now." Wei Wu said loudly.

Ding Yuan burst into tears. Facing the power of the evil spirit, Xue Er and Ma Zi were both knocked away. He, a common servant, had no way to resist. After taking a few deep breaths, Ding Yuan had no choice but to press his bloody hand on the word "big" on the table.

In the darkness, a hand seemed to reach out, open the dice cup and reveal three blood-stained dice inside.

One, three, four.

Eight o'clock.

The moment the dice appeared, the sound of bones being crushed was heard, and Ding Yuan's head was suddenly twisted to the back by a force. Although his skin was intact, his entire face was sunken. The skin pulled up the corners of his mouth, revealing a creepy smile.

The body fell to the ground, lifeless.

"Will I die if I lose?" Wei Wu murmured, turning to look at Li Yuan who had been hiding on the side, "You, go over and continue."

Li Yuan shook his head and knelt down to beg, but Wei Wu didn't listen at all. He went over and picked up Li Yuan and threw him onto the gambling table.

As soon as he approached the gambling table, Li Yuan, like Ding Yuan, was immediately enveloped by a cold and gloomy aura and was unable to move.

The sound of the dice shaking rang out again, and Li Yuan's hand rose uncontrollably, hanging over the gambling table, waiting for him to place his bet.

Knowing that he couldn't avoid it, Li Yuan could only think in his heart that if he died, the Evil Suppression Division would give his family a pension, which would be his final explanation to his family.

Li Yuan gritted his teeth and put his hand on the word "big".

The ghost hand stretched out from the darkness again. This time, Wei Wu rushed forward, raised his sword, and chopped down the hand heavily.

The knife with the Ghost Soldier Talisman went straight through the hand but did not cause any damage. A huge force directly knocked Wei Wu away, and he hit the wall and fell to the ground, spitting blood.

In a gambling house, anyone who interferes with others' gambling will be thrown out by the gambling house's thugs.

The dice cup was opened, two, three, four, nine, small.

Li Yuan's breathing stagnated and he closed his eyes in despair, but he only felt a cool breeze sweeping over him. His head was not twisted behind his back, so he was still alive.

Wei Wu covered his chest and climbed up, looking at the scene with Xue Er and Ma Zi in confusion.

see you tomorrow~
