Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1029

The middle-aged man known as Boss Wu withdrew his hand, smiled and stroked the mustache he had spent a lot of time deliberately growing, and then turned to leave with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.

The hand he used in this process must be the left hand, because the cinnabar palm disciples of the cinnabar group usually use the right hand, and before the cinnabar palm is completed, the right hand is usually hidden in the sleeve under normal circumstances.

This old man Wu is the director of the gambling house, and he is also Wu Zhongtian, one of the seven disciples of the cinnabar gang.

At this moment, a wretched man dressed gorgeously but with a rogue-like face came in evasively, bowed and smiled from afar, "Hello, Boss Wu."

But Wu Zhongtian's expression sank, he walked over with his hands behind his back, frowned and said: "Du Si, you can come to this place too?"

The man named Du Si bent down and said: "How dare a villain come in at will, but..." He squinted his eyes and smiled, and whispered: "Last night there was a wealthy customer who stayed at Xiao Taohong's place all night. After spending 5000 taels of silver, the villain found out that his hands were also itching, so he brought it for Boss Wu."

Wu Zhongtian's eyes lit up, and he said, "Oh! Who is it?"

Du Si said: "My surname is Zhou, and my name is Zhou Baoguang."

Wu Zhongtian murmured: "Zhou Baoguang, what is your origin? Whoever is gambling in this place, you should know that even if someone without origin wants to lose money, others will not agree."

Du Si hurriedly laughed and said, "Boss Wu, don't worry, I don't have any history, how dare I bring it here at will? I have already found out clearly that this person is a big medicinal material merchant from Zhaofu in the west of Beijing. This time I went to the Central Plains area." , just to spend money to find medicine.”

Wu Zhongtian smiled and said, "It turns out they are in the business of medicinal materials, I'll go and have a look first..."

As he spoke, Wu Zhongtian lifted the corner of the door curtain and peeped out.

I saw a man in his thirties with a slightly dark complexion and a dignified appearance, standing outside the door with his hands behind his back. Although he stood there motionless, he looked like a wealthy businessman, a wealthy owner.Comparing the people in the room outside with him, in terms of whether they are rich or not, they feel like becoming a hen next to a crane.

Wu Zhongtian suddenly opened the front door, strode out to greet him, cupped his fists and said with a smile: "Brother Zhou is far away, younger brother is not good at hospitality, please forgive me."

While talking, he took Zhou Baoguang's hand, as if hit it off at first sight.

This week Baoguang was indeed a high-roller who spent a lot of money without changing his face. He was betting Pai Gow on the table, and he lost tens of thousands of taels after betting a few hands.

The girls all gathered around, vying to pour wine for him and watch the cards for him. Zhou Baoguang laughed heartily, hugging left and right, and suddenly took out a stack of Wuyue bank notes from his bosom, and said, "Wait for me." How about pushing a few villages?"

Wu Zhongtian squinted at the corner of his eyes, and saw that the top one of the thick mulberry bank note was already 1 taels of silver.Immediately smiled and said: "Brother Zhang, if you push Zhuang, younger brother and so on will also come to accompany you."

At this moment, the one pushing the bank is the proprietor of Mizhuang, a joint name of a dozen or so families in Yingtianfu. He has made thirty or forty thousand, and just about to stop, he immediately pushed the cards with a smile, and said, "Brother Zhou, please bet on Tianmen."

Zhou Baoguang laughed and said, "See how I can win all your money."

As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves, revealing his snow-white silk gown.

As expected, this farm was very active, and everyone was sweating profusely. The owner of the rice farm spat out more than half of the money he had just won, and then dragged a fourteen or fifteen-year-old beautiful girl to sleep.The other two heard that they were famous henpecks, although they still wanted to make money, but in the end they reluctantly left.

After midnight, there were only four or five gamblers left in the room. Zhou Baoguang took a sip of the fine wine handed over by the girl next to him, washing the wooden sign in his hand, glanced at Wu Zhongtian, and laughed loudly: "Why, Boss Wu?" Don't come and play with me."

Wu Zhongtian smiled slightly and said, "My little brother is already thinking of sending some money to Brother Zhou."

Before he finished speaking, Wu Zhongtian also took out a stack of bank notes in his hand, with a pair of eyes, turning around like a hound, he suddenly bet all the bank notes on Tianmen, and said with a smile: "5 taels, single bet, no matter whether you win or lose, only this one bet He bet fifty thousand in one bet, and the remaining four or five people, although they are all big players, couldn't help but be overshadowed by it, and none of them dared to bet again."

Zhou Baoguang laughed and said, "Okay, let me play against you."

He rolled the dice, it was seven, Wu Zhongtian took the first set of cards, Zhou Baoguang took the third set, Wu Zhongtian didn't even look at it, he gently flipped the wooden cards over, one was a sky, one was a person, it turned out to be a sky bar.

Everyone couldn't help but let out a cry of envy, and the girls smiled even more delicately and clapped their hands.

I saw Zhou Baoguang clasping his fists, holding the two cards in his hands, clapping and pushing, taking a look, and knocking the wooden cards on the table with a bang.

Everyone looked nervous and couldn't help but ask, "What card?"

Zhou Baoguang didn't change his face, counted out 5 taels of silver bills, sent them to Wu Zhongtian and said with a smile: "I lost."

Wu Zhongtian rolled his eyes, glanced at Zhou Baoguang with a half-smile, and said with a smile: "Everyone must have had enough fun today, how about coming back someday?"

As soon as everyone heard it, they sighed and talked about the game just now, comforting Zhou Baoguang in their mouths, but gloating in their stomachs: "I lost less than him." So everyone was very happy, hugging the beautiful girl to go to each other. Happy to find a good dream.

Zhou Baoguang stretched his long waist, and said with a smile: "Boss Wu is really good, he is worthy of being a master of gambling."

Wu Zhongtian smiled lightly and said, "Really?"

Before he finished speaking, Wu Zhongtian suddenly stretched out his right hand like lightning, and pulled out Zhou Baoguang's waist knife. The cold blade pressed against his neck, and said coldly, "Who are you? What's your intention in coming to my casino?"

Zhou Baoguang remained expressionless, snorted coldly, and said, "What do you mean, Your Excellency?"

Wu Zhongtian sneered and said, "You really don't understand?"

While speaking, he slapped the table with his left hand, and the two wooden cards that Zhou Baoguang had just put on the table suddenly jumped up, turned over, and landed on the table.

I saw that these two wooden cards were exactly the same, they were three pairs of deputy chiefs.

Wu Zhongtian's gaze was sharper than that of a blade, and he said sharply, "Speak up! Your Excellency clearly won, why did you pretend to lose?"

Zhou Baoguang smiled and said, "My eyes are not good, I saw wrongly just now."

Wu Zhongtian shouted: "You can't rub the sand in your eyes, what is your intention here, you should be honest... Otherwise, don't blame me for not having eyes with the knife in my hand."

The smile on Zhou Baoguang's face suddenly disappeared, and he said in a deep voice: "Boss Wu really has bright eyes. Yes, I did come here for a request, but this matter is also related to your gang..." Zhou Baoguang smiled mysteriously, He subtly stopped his voice.

Wu Zhongtian stared at him for a moment, his eyes gradually softened, he waved the knife casually, put the knife back into the sheath with a choke, and said slowly: "In this case, why don't you come here to see him openly and aboveboard?" ?”

Zhou Baoguang smiled and said: "If you want to do unusual things, you have to take an unusual path. If I can't impress Boss Wu on me, how can Boss Wu believe what I say?"

Wu Zhongtian smiled lightly and said, "You don't think it's too expensive to buy an impression with 5 taels of silver?"

Zhou Baoguang said lightly: "If this matter is successful, 5 taels is only one percent."

When Wu Zhongtian heard the words, his eyes immediately brightened like stars, but he still said coldly: "This gang never does anything illegal."

Zhou Baoguang said with a smile: "Although I am poor, I still have a net worth of tens of millions. I will never do illegal and risky things."

Wu Zhongtian suddenly slapped the table again, and said sharply: "This matter is neither illegal nor risky, and the benefits are so huge, why don't you go to others, but come to this gang?"

Zhou Baoguang said: "It's a long story, Boss Wu, why don't you find a hiding place and let me tell Boss Wu in detail."

Wu Zhongtian thought for a while, then said: "Your Excellency, you'd better not play tricks, or don't blame me for beheading you."

After finishing speaking, he walked towards the backyard of the gambling house, Zhou Baoguang suddenly had a charming streamer flashing in his eyes, and followed him.

There is a secret room in the backyard of the gambling house. After Wu Zhongtian told his subordinates not to disturb him, he brought Zhou Baoguang into the secret room.The secret room is naturally sound-proofed very well. Two people talking inside, even killing people and fighting, can't be heard outside.

Half an hour later, Wu Zhongtian came out of the secret room, and said to a subordinate at the door: "Go and ask Junior Sister Lin to come over."

The subordinate was stunned for a moment, bowed and said yes, and left quickly, but he had a faint feeling that Boss Wu was different from before, but he couldn't tell what was different.

In the secret room, Wu Zhongtian stood respectfully in front of Zhou Baoguang. If you observe carefully, you will find that his eyes are a little dull.

"When did your uncle Zheng Yongchun die?" Zhou Baoguang asked.

Wu Zhongtian immediately replied: "My uncle made an appointment with three other martial arts seniors half a month ago to go to the top of Mount Tai to cook wine and discuss martial arts. He died at home on the third day after returning."

"How did he die?"

"Uncle Zheng was fatally hit by someone, and died from his heart."

"What happened after he came back?"

"Martial Uncle Zheng came back with a painting, and during the three days he came back, he stayed at home every day, and asked people to deliver food to the house. The junior brother who delivered the food said that he stared at the painting every day. "

At this moment, a woman's crisp voice came from outside: "Senior Brother Wu!"

Wu Zhongtian glanced at Zhou Baoguang, who said, "Let her in."

This Junior Sister Lin is named Lin Ruoxi, she is in her twenties, but she has never been married. She is the number one beauty of the Cinnabar Gang. After she heard Wu Zhongtian call her in, a shy blush appeared on her fair face, and her beautiful eyes were full of water. Watery, with a hint of charm.

As soon as she opened the door, she closed the door with her hands behind her back, bit her lips lightly, and said coquettishly, "Senior Brother Wu! You can't wait until night! If you want to send someone to arrest him in broad daylight Call me over, if outsiders know about our good deeds, how can you tell them to live."
