late Qing Dynasty arrest

Chapter 17 Good Luck Mahjong Parlor

Zheng Lingling nodded and said, "Oh, I forgot. Xiaolou, then I'll go back and bring me the first wish tomorrow."

Chen Xiangfang scolded coquettishly: "Xiaolou, you are so bad, why are you bewitching Lingling?" Then she said: "Then you two have to be careful, don't get stuck in the quagmire and can't get out."

Chen Xiangfang took out a few oranges from the basket she brought, and stuffed them into Li Guolou's hands, as if the oranges were too small to be touched with four hands.She said softly and infinitely: "Xiaolou, take it and eat on the road."

Li Guolou felt that he had taken advantage of everything, and said gratefully: "Thank you! Xiaofang, be careful when you go back at night."

Chen Xiangfang was reluctant to let go, and said affectionately: "Don't worry Xiaolou, I'm a kung fu heroine, and I haven't met an opponent yet. You can't stand me for three rounds."

Li Guolou shuddered, his hair glistening all over his body, what does this mean?Were the three rounds played against each other, or on the mahogany bed?I don't understand.Why do people have physical desires, he is a little ashamed.

Li Guolou stepped over the threshold, only then did he realize that there was a long way to go, as if this matter was unreliable, he hadn't stepped through the six doors, how could he start to catch cheaters.

"That bastard, let's catch the cheater, as if we were using our own money to die. The masters of the six sects have all admitted to this matter, so why do you think I can do it?" Li Guolou said suspiciously.

The yard is dotted with people, as if basking in the moon.Na Bazi said loudly: "Third brother, don't be modest, your skills are known to you. If you didn't catch your brother stealing cards that time, you don't know that your skills are greater than the sky. I am the ever-victorious general in the capital." , It was your bad reputation. Now those tricks can no longer be used."

Li Guolou couldn't help laughing when he thought about playing cards with Na Bazi. It is his strong point to catch tricks in playing cards.Others didn't see any flaws when he changed cards, but he was born with sharp eyes, and he liked to watch people's movements and guess people's hearts.It was because of a small action that Bazi made him recognize the stealing card and regarded it as a draw.I didn't expect that Bazi remembered until now, thinking that he could complete the task of catching cheaters.

Li Guolou walked out of the courtyard full of confidence, revealing the first step of being a fast arrester. The way to enter the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment still had to be done by himself.He pushed aside the orange and chewed it, it was so sour!

On the carriage, Na Bazi remembered and warned: "Third brother, your immediate boss Yao Cuo is a narrow-minded person, but he pretends to be bold. You must not be in the limelight, and all credits must be credited." Yao was wrong. Be a low-key man, a dog with its tail between your legs, you know?"

Li Guolou jumped to the side where the bastard was sitting, strangled the bastard's throat, and said angrily, "Speak! You bastard, who is the dog with its tail between its legs?"

Na Bazi snapped Li Guolou's wrists and hissed, "Okay! I'm a dog with its tail between its legs, you're a bastard."

Li Guolou let out a snort, sat down again, pointed at the prick, and shouted: "You boy, you can't spit ivory out of a dog's mouth. One day we will break it."

Na Bazi said angrily: "I won't rob Xiaofang with you, so why are you turning against me? As for your money, who will be gone by then, you know it well, think about how to make Baozhifang a good place business."

Li Guolou was out of breath and stammered: "You, you, is there someone like you? When I borrowed money, I said everything well and was full of confidence. I haven't opened a store yet. How can you push it on me? gone."

Na Bazi warned: "This is a lesson for you, don't trust people's guarantees easily. I am doing this for your own good, and the prosperity of your family and everything. You don't just know that you eat your family members, the fellow villagers in Anhui will run around more, and put them there. Please invite all the big households to enter Baozhi’s house, this is the glorious mission entrusted to you by me and Xiaofang, there must be no one left.”

Li Guolou could only nod his head in agreement, and Na Bazi said again: "Third brother, remember! Don't bring the officials and brothers from the yamen to Baozhi's room. They only call you brothers and brothers, and they will get drunk when they pay the money. There are officials and lords who treat guests with IOUs, which have no interest and will not be turned into silver. Do you understand?"

Li Guolou scratched his forehead and said, "Brother, can't you even invite Shangguan to Baozhi's room? It doesn't seem very good."

Na Bazi shook his head and said: "You are my uncle, I beg you, those arrests are all tasteless people, you invite them to Huamanlou to drink flower wine, I don't want Baozhifang to become a yamen in the future teahouse."

Li Guolou realized that his future brothers and officers were monsters and ghosts, and they were not treated well by others. Even the guy who likes to make friends the most would not want to eat and drink with the police.

Li Guolou asked: "Brother, how do you say that you should get along with Yao Cuo so that we can live in peace?"

Na Bazi said sternly: "Third brother, remember, pretend to be a grandson, and say that Yao Cuo is enough of a brother, righteousness is worthless, and Guan Yunchang is reborn. No matter in front of any brother, you must say good things about Yao Cuo, those bastards eat you and use you Yes, I will sell you when I turn back, only we are good brothers, the eldest brother can take advantage of you at most, and never fool you with big things."

Li Guolou nodded, thought for a moment and said, "Well, you just fooled me just now. The matter of Baozhi's house has made me more and more timid. I'm afraid that my money will be wasted."

That Bazi laughed, and said: "We brothers are with whom! One family doesn't talk about two families. Look at the lucky mahjong parlor!"

In the dark night, there are two palace lanterns hanging at the entrance of the Lucky Mahjong Hall, swaying non-stop. Li Guolou stepped into the gate with one foot, which will unveil the prelude to his wonderful life.

The Lucky Mahjong Parlor is buzzing with people, and there is the sound of rubbing mahjong.There are more than a dozen tables in the hall, which are already full of people.There are many birdcages all over the head, these are brought by gamblers.There are several private rooms to the south, Na Bazi lifted the door curtain and walked into the second room.With a casual invitation, Li Guolou entered with a smile on his face.

It was agreed to start at seven o'clock, and Li Guolou came just in time.He cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Everyone, I'm sorry for the delay in eating, brothers."

There were three people sitting in the room, and everyone nodded to each other as a greeting.

Yao Cuo has a red face and a thick body. He looks like a Lianjiazi at first glance.Wushou's figure is quite different from Guan Gong's, and the beard on his face is closer to that of the bearded man.He raised his head to look at Li Guolou, nodded slightly, those eyes were obviously not Danfeng eyes, they were deliberately squinted to pretend to be green.

Li Guolou knew at a glance that the boss Yao Cuo was a fan of the Three Kingdoms and Guan Yunchang's die-hard royalist.

The other person was brought by Yao Cuo. He was thin and thin. When he saw that guy coming in, he immediately stood up and gave up his seat.Li Guolou took a look and knew that this was Yao Cuo's little follower.Thought: How do people grow up like this, "Guan Yunchang" won't let the younger brother eat enough?

Waiting for Li Guolou to sit down, he took a closer look at the old man from Wuxi, who claimed to be Fan Dana, with fair skin and a thin body, in his 30s. He also smiled when he saw Li Guolou. A person who binds chickens.

Li Guolou carefully looked at Fan Dana's two hands, ten slender fingers, and a jade ring on his left thumb.If this kind of person is thrown on the street, no one will take a second look. An ordinary person won hundreds of taels of silver and still won't leave.This person must be extremely proud in his heart and look down on anyone around him.Although he smiled casually, Li Guolou knew that Fan Dana looked down on him.A young man came here today and wanted to catch a cheater. Fan Dana has already been tempered to steel, so he won't take him seriously.

The four felt the direction of the wind, and sat down in turn from southeast to northwest.Li Guolou sat on the west side, with Na Bazi at home, Fan Dana, the old Wuxi at home, and "Detective" Yao Cuo at Tianmen.

The proprietress Xiao Cui coquettishly raised the door curtain to come in to deliver water, she winked at Yao Cuo, and saw that a new face had arrived today, a pretty boy.One hand was already on Li Guolou's shoulder, and with a light swipe, the fragrance on his body wafted away, making Li Guolou almost want to vomit.

In places like mahjong parlors, there are people who light hookahs for gamblers. The air is filled with the choking smell of smoke, coupled with the strong smell of cheap perfume from the proprietress Xiao Cui, the whole room is filled with a weird smell.Fortunately, none of the five people in this room smoked hookah, let alone smoked drugs.There is also a room here dedicated to smoking drugs for gamblers. Nowadays, smoking drugs is no longer the monopoly of the rich. Chinese people have planted large tracts of opium poppies in the Yunnan-Guizhou area, but the extraction is not pure enough, and high-end drugs are still needed. import.

There are candied dates, candy and other snacks on the table.Li Guolou was treated by others, the proprietress Xiao Cui twisted her waist, peeled a piece of candy with her own hands, handed it to Li Guolou's mouth, and said softly: "Xiaolou, I will come here often in the future, just treat this as my home." , the dishes here are all arranged by the slave family, remember to eat next time."

Li Guolou's face was embarrassed, and he glanced at Nazi and Yao Cuo, and hurriedly reached out to take the candy, threw it into his mouth, and said vaguely: "Mmmmmmm!"

Yao Cuo laughed, and said: "Little boy is popular, but I have never eaten Xiao Cui's candy."

The words smelled of vinegar, and the sourness made people get goosebumps, Li Guolou felt a little bit in his heart, don't leave a bad impression on Yao Cuo.

Xiaocui brushed Li Guolou's face with her hand, and said with white eyes: "Brother Yao, I dare not agree to your request. Sister Gu will come to the door with a broom. I don't want my face to be scratched."

Yao Cuo's face darkened, and he said angrily: "Xiao Cui, why don't you open which pot and lift which pot, isn't it that I can't get off the stage. Don't mention things like dumping cellars in the future."

A candy in Xiaocui's hand was fed into Yao Cuo's mouth, and she said softly: "Okay! Don't mention it if you don't mention it. Brother Yao remembers to come here often. Who said we are a family."

Yao Cuo's hair fluttered lightly, and he glanced around triumphantly. This is his place, and everyone should be honest.
