I have a weird dynasty

Chapter 166 Wu Renxing (asking for monthly ticket)
With the knife at his neck, Sang Que was filled with murderous intent, and Yuan Gui told him everything.

"Wu Renxing is from Buyi Lane. He originally opened a steamed bun shop near the South City Gate, and his business was pretty good. Later, he was brought to the gambling house. As you know, some people have bad luck in gambling and get angry easily, and then..."

Yuan Gui glanced at Sang Que with some fear, and vaguely mentioned all the traps set up in their gambling house.

"In short, Wu Renxing lost everything in the end, even his bun shop. I tried to persuade him to stop, really did. He listened to me and didn't come to the gambling house for a month or two, really!"

"And then?" Sangque asked.

Yuan Gui recalled, his eyes revealing doubt, "The next time he showed up was at the end of last month. I was not in the gambling house that day. My subordinates called me in. They said Wu Renxing was killing people in the gambling house and suspected that he was cheating, so they asked me to go and take a look."

"After I came to the gambling house, I found that he was the banker and had won more than 30 rounds in a row. No one could beat him. It was the same when I went down to gamble with him myself. No matter how the dice, the table, or the position were changed, he would always win in the end. This was already weird. I immediately told someone to send him to the Evil Suppression Bureau for investigation."

Yuan Gui looked up at Sang Que cautiously, trying to show that he was law-abiding, but Sang Que remained expressionless from beginning to end.

"go on."

Yuan Gui swallowed his saliva and said, "In fact, if Wu Renxing had stopped at that time, he would have won enough to redeem his bun shop, but he was greedy."

Everyone present looked in disbelief. It was not easy for people who won money in the gambling house to leave with the money. The gambling house had plenty of ways to make those people continue gambling until they lost everything.

"Afterwards, Wu Renxing insisted on making a big bet with me, and bet all his winnings that day. But his luck must have run out, and he lost that bet."

Yuan Gui paused guiltily.

"After that, I asked Wu Renxing to leave, but he refused and wanted to sell his wife and daughter. I really refused at that time. We were the owners of a gambling house, not human traffickers. But Wu Renxing was really inhumane. No one could stop him. He ran to the pawnshop next to our gambling house and signed a contract to sell his daughter first."

"In the end, he still lost everything and refused to leave the gambling house, begging me to lend him money to turn the tables. I had him kicked out of the gambling house, and I was so worried that I sent people to follow him."

Xue Er snorted at the side. How could Yuan Gui be worried? He just wanted to know what method Wu Renxing used to win so many games in a row.

Yuan Gui's face turned pale, thinking of something horrible. "My people followed Wu Renxing all the way to the cemetery outside the city, and found that Wu Renxing had dug up his family's ancestral grave and searched in his ancestor's urns. In the end, he probably didn't find what he wanted, so he dug up the graves next to him."

"I don't know who told him about this evil magic, that using dice made from dead people's bones can win every time you gamble. But we run a gambling house, so we naturally have some tricks to prevent this kind of evil magic, so it's impossible for him to succeed so easily. In the end, every time Wu Renxing came, he could only win a few games, and then he lost more and more."

"He was like a madman who had been possessed by a demon. No one could persuade him. He pawned everything he could and refused to stop. Finally, the pawnbrokers went to his house to arrest his wife and daughter. They could not bear the humiliation and struggled to escape. They ran to the main road and were hit by a runaway carriage..."

"Oh!" Yu Da sighed heavily.

The chill from Sang Que's body was getting heavier and heavier, making it hard for Yuan Gui to breathe. He lowered his head, not daring to look at Sang Que, and finished speaking quickly.

"Anyway, after that, I didn't see Wu Renxing for several days, until the night three days ago, when our gambling house was closed for rest. There was no one in the gambling house that day. The next afternoon, I went to the gambling house early to prepare for the opening. As soon as I opened the door, I saw Wu Renxing dead in the coffin of the gambling house, holding three dice in his hands and smiling on his face." "I was afraid that this incident would affect our gambling business, so I burned Wu Renxing's body while no one was aware of it. Who knew it was useless. I didn't lie to you just now, sir. The night before yesterday, in the second half of the night, I was so sleepy that I couldn't open my eyes. I took a nap and suddenly woke up. I saw Wu Renxing crawling out of the coffin with my own eyes."

"He stood sinisterly behind a man from Buyi Lane, watching him gamble. I was the only one who could see him at the time, and I was scared. I didn't dare to get close and didn't know what to do. When it was almost dawn, the casino closed, and Wu Renxing followed the man to Buyi Lane. I followed him because I was afraid something might happen, and then... then..."

Yuan Gui wiped the sweat off his face with his sleeves and became quieter as he spoke.

From the beginning to the end, he knew that something big was going to happen, but he didn't report it to the Evil Suppression Bureau because he was afraid that this incident would cause the gambling house to close down and end his livelihood.

In the end, he watched Wu Renxing kill all those families and clean up the scene. At first, everyone was discussing that it was the Thousand-Faced Ghost who killed people, and this rumor was most likely spread by Yuan Gui.

Sang Que turned around and asked Xue Er, "Were the people who died last night also people who came to the gambling house?"

Xue Er nodded, "Yes, if the gambler is not detained today, I'm afraid he will kill people tonight."

Those who often gamble in the gambling house are now on the gambler's murder list.

In fact, Sang Que didn't want to care about the lives of these gamblers, but their families were really unlucky. Wu Renxing, the gambler, would not let other people's families go when he killed people.

Sang Que asked Yuan Gui some more details. The reason why those who were killed by gamblers had sunken facial bones was because Wu Renxing's wife and daughter died because their faces were crushed by horse hooves.

Also, Wu Renxing was too ashamed to see his wife, daughter, and parents again, so after he became a gambler, his face became dark and blurred.

Sang Que still hadn't figured it out, so he turned to ask Yu Da, "Old Yu, is it so easy for people to become evil spirits or even ghosts after they die?"

What Sang Que asked was also what Yu Da couldn't figure out. "People with strong obsessions and hatred are indeed more likely to become evil spirits after death, but at most they are only first or second level evil spirits. It's rare to have the strength of a third level evil spirit after death, let alone directly become a fourth level evil ghost."

Sang Que nodded slightly, "It means that Wu Renxing has someone behind him, otherwise how would he know how to make dice with dead people's bones and win every time he gambles? And why did he deliberately die in the coffin of the gambling house with the human bone dice when the gambling house was closed?"

Yu Dadao said, "That's right. Many gambling houses have the custom of placing coffins. People who go in to gamble will throw a copper coin to pray for good fortune. Over time, the coffin will be tainted with some evil aura."

"It's just that worshipping objects is common in many places. It takes at least 10 to 20 years to make an object produce the law and power to kill people. Wu Renxing must have used some special method to use the coffin to turn himself into an evil ghost."

"Then as long as we seal the coffin, we can seal Wu Renxing, right?" Sang Que asked.

Xue Er looked at Yu Da, then at Sang Que, and couldn't get a word in.

"It should be, but I'm afraid..."

They were afraid that the person behind the scenes directing Wu Renxing had other plans, making it difficult to detain the gambler.
