In the fourth year of Yonghui (653 AD), the second day of the second month, at 3:00 noon.

The Tang Dynasty implemented the market system, and residential areas were separated from markets. Stores were not allowed to be opened in residential areas, and households were not allowed to be housed in markets. However, the special industry of gambling was hidden in residential areas. Gambling was a criminal act and gambling was not shameful.

Yonghui Lu talks about gambling, which is a legal item, which is shooting in the Six Arts. When archery is competing for gambling, you can be honest and upright, even if you are gambling at the yamen, no one will pay attention to you. The explanation given in "Miscellaneous Rules" is that archery itself is practicing martial arts, and gambling is not a crime.

In the southern urban area of ​​Wuzhou, north of Jinhua Avenue, there is a famous alley called Dujia Hutong. As the name suggests, the entire hutong belongs to the Du family. The Du family is a giant house in Wuzhou, the largest landlord. The family has 10,000 acres of fertile land, mainly distributed in Lanxi and Jinhua counties.

The head of the family is Du Qiming, who is 60 years old and lives in Jinhua Avenue. The old Du keeps his strength and basically never goes out. The only time he went out, before Wukang came to Wuzhou, he went to the governor's mansion to propose marriage. Du Mei, the only great-grandson of the Du family, and asked to marry the ninth wife of the Cui family.

At that time, Lao Cui directly refused. Although the Du family had a backer and was a big family in Wuzhou, it was not worth mentioning compared with the Cui family in Qinghe. The most important thing is Du Mei, a grandson, a famous playboy, who eats, drinks, and gambling.

The Du Family Hutong in front of me is actually the Gambler Hutong, and the owner is Du Mei. It is composed of gambling houses of all sizes, and 80% of the Du family are from the Golden Hook Gambling House in front of me. The gatekeeper in front of me is tall, the courtyard wall is high, and the huge black plaque is blatantly engraved with the word "Gambling House".

Wu Kang looked back and forth, and there were no plaques in the other gambling workshops. This Jinhook Gambling House hit the face of the Wuzhou officialdom. Before starting the action, Wu Kang visited Lao Cui and asked who the Du family was backer. Lao Cui was vague and said that you could not afford to offend, and the Cui family did not want to offend.

The old man was out of the matter, and Wu Kang despised him and did not agree. As the saying goes, a strong dragon will not suppress local snakes. Wu Kang is a local snake in this acre of three parts of the land in Wuzhou. Even if someone in the Du family is a high-ranking official in the court, he has to give face to the local officials.

Staring at the plaque of "Golden Hook Gambling House", I heard the messy shouting inside, and a sneer appeared on the corner of my mouth. I came to stroke the tiger beard of the Du family, and the action began with a wave of my hand. The alley immediately shouted loudly. The 200 Special Operations Team rounded, smashed the door, climbed over the wall, scolded... The scene was very shocking.

The special operation team consisted of bad guards, yamen and militiamen, with fifty militiamen who were borrowed by Lao Yu. When Lao Yu learned that he had swept Dujia Hutong, he borrowed people without saying a word, and also provided free waist knife. The team members hung horizontal knives on their left, wrapped around hemp ropes on their waists, and carried yamen sticks in their hands. They rushed into the casino like tigers out of the cage.

The so-called yamen stick is a reduced-type baseball stick. The creative source is the baton. It is 60 cm long and painted all over. Before, the bad guy used an iron ruler. Wu Kang was kind-hearted and thought that it was too painful to hit the body and could easily cause death. Replace the yamen stick for the three guards of the judicial system, and be sure to beat it boldly, so that it will not kill people.

After more than ten minutes, all the other gambling shops were broken, but the golden hook in front of me was too high and could not be turned over. No matter how I smashed the door, the door would not be opened. Wu Kang became more and more angry, and his patience became less and less, and he issued an order to hit the door.

He stepped to the door, and the black-clothed bodyguard protected his left and right, and hit the door with his teammates. He hit the door for more than ten times in a row, and the door fell to the ground and instantly smashed several wooden sticks. What a good guy, he dared to resist violently, and he was brave enough to eat the heart of the bear and the leopard?

Wu Kang's body was in a group, with a black yamen stick in his left hand and a horizontal knife in his right hand. The sword light flashed by, and the long stick broke into two pieces. When his teammates saw the boss using the knife, they all unsheathed the knife. The opponent instantly admitted his conscience and threw the stick into the main hall. Wu Kang took the lead, raised the yamen stick high and smashed it to the back of the evil servant's heart.

With a whisper, the dog fell down by chewing the poop, knocked off his front teeth, and blood mixed with saliva flowed out, rolling on the ground. Wu Kang rushed over, stepped on his back with his big foot, and beat him hard. When the people under his feet stopped struggling, he took a deep breath and shouted: "Squat down, hold your head with both hands, otherwise you will kill him."

However, no one birded him, and the evil servant ran around and ran around in the yard, rushing around like a headless fly. Wu Kang was so happy that he would not eat and punish him. I fulfilled your wishes: "Everyone obeys the order, whoever does not squat down and holds his head, beat me to death!"

The shouts of killing shocked the sky, and the sound of a pig-killing wailing. Looking around, countless yamen sticks were waving. Some evil servants reacted quickly, squatting on the ground and holding their heads with their hands, trembling in fear. Those who reacted slowly and those who resisted stubbornly were all in trouble. They lay on the ground and curled up in a ball, enduring the raindrops and sticks.

After about ten minutes, the scene was completely controlled. Wu Kang blocked it and screamed, and went straight to the main hall. Jiang Daniu stopped it and smiled flatteringly, persuading: "Let's do it, the gambler may be furious, there may be danger... You guys, go and bump the door for me."

Wu Kang was not arrogant, so he was protected by the bodyguard and flashed on the west side of the door of the house. The big bull, Sanjiao, confirmed his eyes and helped him run, and the wooden door opened in response to the sound. The objects flew out, and the team members avoided them. Xu Sanjiao was caught off guard and the porcelain bowl was hitting the forehead. He heard a sound, threw the yamen stick and covered his forehead, and blood flowed.

The porcelain piece and blood were added to Wu Kang instantly, and he almost roared: "Everyone rushed in, and those who resisted the law violently used a knife to chop it, and if they didn't resist, they would beat it with a stick. When they went in, there was a person who could stand... Jiang Daniu, I asked you."

The big bull rushes like thunder, rushes in with a knife, and the team members follow closely behind. The room is crackling, begging for mercy and sticks everywhere, almost lifting the roof. Wu Kang asks about Sanjiao's injuries, makes sure that he doesn't hurt his eyes, and orders people to send it to Dr. Hua.

The sound gradually diminished and the situation gradually became controlled. Wu Kang had a calm face and stepped into the room under the protection of the bodyguard. Similar to the later tube warehouse, there was no courtyard wall in the middle. Tables and chairs were everywhere, gambling tools and copper coins, and broken porcelain.

On the right is a high counter, three servants pretending to be middle-aged, lying in a pool of blood and life and death are unknown. The others are concentrated in the northeast corner, about fifty, each with injuries on their bodies, all squatting in their arms. Some people couldn't help but moan, and the yamen stick fell down, and the moans stopped abruptly. He covered his mouth with bloody hands, and was extremely frightened.

There is a corner gate in the northwest corner, and the two team members held their swords to guard it. Wu Kang withdrew his eyes and issued a search warrant. The team members implemented the plan. He scolded the gambler and stood up, raised his hands and lay on the wall, searched for money. Who would not cooperate? When it comes to the yamen sticks, collect copper coins and put them on the table.

The seven team members planned to clean up the central part on the scene, collect copper coins on the ground, and gather on the open space. Others searched the rooms and did not let go of corners, and the money piles were getting bigger and bigger. The four clerks counted, two clerks recorded, and four bad people supervised.

Wu Kang looked around and was attracted by the Northwest Gambling Table. He walked over. The rectangular cards were slightly smaller than the pear leaves and were printed with exquisite patterns. He looked down at the surroundings and found no falling one by one, so he collected the cards on the table, and arranged them one by one, totaling forty.

Seeing the boss frowned, Daniu hurried over to explain: "Wu Shenjun's elegance is the Ye Zi card, which is about the same size as Ye Zi, hence the name. This is one article to ten articles, one article to ten articles, ten articles to ten articles, ten articles to ninety thousand articles, and the remaining ones are 10,000 articles. According to legend, the Ye Zi card was invented by Han Xin during the Chu-Han War to relieve the soldiers' homesickness."

Haha, I understand a lot! Wu Kang stretched out his thumb to like it, and the big bull was very useful, grinning and smirking. The Ye Zi Card in front of him looked like both mahjong and poker, nodding thoughtfully. Historical records show that Ye Zi Card is the originator of poker, character cards and mahjong. Later, he was brought to Europe by Marco Polo and became popular in Europe.

In the science of gambling, the ancestors walked at the forefront of the world, Ye Zi pretended to be in his pocket and came to another gambling table. He picked up three dice, put his hands on the palm of his hand, and indeed he had mercury injected. Wu Kang was happy again. This trick was so popular in the Tang Dynasty?

Pull apart the messy copper coins, revealing the white silk cloth, embroidering the red "Zhuang" in the middle, and on both sides are "big", "small" and "leopards". If you are interested, pick up the bamboo dice clock, look at it for a while and put in the dice, shake it hard a few times, and deduct the dice clock on the table.

I hit the dice clock with my fingers. When I first traveled, the original owner and my friends gambled money and accidentally beat Mr. Wu and were forced to leave Muzhou. Since I learned that my father moved, I have sent countless people to find him, but there is still no news. My father, my sister and my brother, I am now well-developed, so come back and enjoy my happiness!

Full of melancholy, interrupted by the call, Wu Kang came back to his senses, and saw Da Niu smiling and handed over the copper coins. Wu Kang reached out to take it, Da Niu grabbed another handful of the money pile, half of which was big, half big, and pointed to the crimped dice clock.

It was a bit interesting. Wu Kang laughed, put the copper coin on the table, reached out his finger to hold two fonts, threw it on the leopard, turned around and left without turning the dice clock. When he left the door, the big bull opened it carefully, and immediately opened his mouth: Three and six, the leopard will kill them.

Wu Kang came to the yard, and his teammates were cleaning the battlefield. Military advisor Su who had been waiting for a long time quickly came over to report: "Ming Gong Rong reported that there were ten gambling shops in total, all of which were controlled, and the clerk was counting the walls. Five of our people were slightly injured and had been sent to Dr. Hua. Gong Ming Gong, what should I do next?"

Wu Kang pondered for a moment and said, "Catch all the money, including gambling funds, saving money in the gambling shop, and property on gamblers. Count the number and divide it by the number of heads to get the average. The average number does not exceed two or five. Record the gamblers' information, hit a hundred boards according to the rules, throw them on Dongming Avenue. Notify their families that they will take them all before the curfew, and then get twenty more if they are not taken away."

"More than two or five, one year in prison, according to the law. Statistics, prepare the verdict, ask them to sign and seal, and throw them all into the prison cell." After a slight pause, he continued to order: "Send someone to notify the prison chief Qin Changshan. Without my order, anyone is prohibited from visiting prison. No matter what identity, as long as they are not honest, they will be beaten to death."

Old Su called the clerk and ordered the clerk, and waited for the clerk to leave, his face was very entangled, and he said awkwardly: "Ming Gongrong, we are making a big fuss this time, I'm afraid... Wei Langjun just found me and said that the Du family's backstage was Chang'an..."

"Let me go, I am Du Mei, I want to see Wu Kang, you let me go," he shouted arrogantly, interrupting Military Advisor Su. Wu Kang turned around and saw a bad person bringing a young man over, about thirty years old, wearing a yellow silk dress, a catfish's mouth with a national character. There was a black mole on his left cheek, the size of a copper coin, and two black hairs on the mole.

Du Mei kept pricking, and the bad guy was a little timid and did not dare to twist his arms hard. Wu Kang looked up and down, and sneered at the corner of his mouth, "You are Master Du? You are so ugly, and you dare to covet Cui Xiaoqing?" Wu Kang curled his lips in disgust and waved his hand to give a beating order.

The bad guy boss immediately pressed him to the ground, pulled the yamen stick and beat him hard. He screamed like a wild cat, and Young Master Du curled up in a group, hugged his head and howled.

Old Su was frightened, shook his goatee and shouted in a loud voice: "Mr. Ming Gong cannot beat him. Du Langjun's aunt is the princess's wet nurse, her personal maid and the head of the princess's mansion."

"Haha, what's the princess... what's the thing? Stop it." Wu Kang was really scared. Oh my god! The princess's wet nurse is also close to the boss, and she's piercing the sky! Her head buzzed, and she scolded Lao Su in anger: "Damn the damn field slave, why didn't you say it earlier?"

Old Su was crying, I didn't have the chance to say it! Wu Kang was dizzy, his eyes turned black and almost fell down. Big bull hurried over to help him. No wonder Du Mei was so arrogant, she opened a casino openly, lent usury, and blatantly abducted his wife and daughter. The backstage was as high as three or four floors.

No wonder this morning, when the big guys were invited to a meeting to discuss cleaning up the Du family Hu, the old foxes all had constipation. Lao Cui did not argue and was directly out of the matter. The five major military officers were deaf and dumb, and Lao Wei wanted to speak but stopped, so he finally chose to remain silent.

They knew who their backer was, but they pretended to be deaf and dumb, and the rhythm of causing trouble was so good. Their thoughts suddenly became clear. The old foxes wanted to cheat people, with their purpose of sorghum wine. When I broke through the sky, I came out to comfort me, and used a joint book as a threat, forcing me to spit out the wine stocks.

Thinking about this, Wu Kang bit his steel teeth and his forehead was sweating. The princess of the Tang Dynasty were very tough. As the saying goes, the seventh rank official in front of the prime minister, the princess's wet nurse and her personal supervisor, what rank official is?

If the wind blows in my ears, I will be in trouble. A question lingers in my mind. Who can save me? Gripping my teeth and looking at Lao Su, how to save me, you said!

Old Su decisively lowered his head and said he had no choice but to do anything. He was so angry that he cursed. After a few words, he felt that it was useless. He took deep breaths to force himself to calm down and racked his brains to find a solution.

Not to mention, I really thought that the only one who could save me was Wu Zhaoyi. The old lady was favored, and the wind beside her pillow should be more useful than the princess. When I thought of this, I quickly left and planned to write a letter of help to Sister Wu. Without taking two steps, I heard the arrogant sneer: "Wu, are you leaving now?"

Wu Kang stopped, smoothed his ferociousness and changed his smile, turned around and said warmly, "Oh, Master Du, your aunt is the princess and wet nurse, my sister is the saint Zhaoyi, a family, brother. You see, this matter is a mess. The flood washed away the Dragon King Temple, and the whole family does not recognize the whole family."

Su Goutou was very eye-catching, and ran into the house and moved the high-backed Taishi Chair. He greeted the bad guys and helped Du Mei onto the chair, nodded and bowed to flatter him: "Ming Gong's sister is Wu Zhaoyi, and the saint is very favored. You are all royal relatives, and they are all misunderstandings."

"What a misunderstanding! Can the little Zhaoyi compare with the saint's real sister?" Du Mei straightened her back and stared at Wu Kang with gritted teeth: "Wu Senjun is such a great official power. Nai Weng has been in Wuzhou for 20 years. Gong Cui is still afraid of me. What are you? Smashing my place and beating Nai Weng, this matter cannot be finished."

Wu Kang lowered his face, and Lao Su continued to go on, laughing out of chrysanthemums with bitter face, three good words and two misunderstandings. But soon the bad luck in his body became stronger, Du Mei grabbed the bamboo tube and smashed his forehead firmly. Lao Su staggered under his feet, his left face was smashed to his skin, and blood was gushed out.

Du Mei was cold and frosty, staring at Wu Kang and said disdainfully: "Oh, do you know that the previous Si Shi joined the army, why did you get out? He offended me, my aunt asked the princess to complain, the princess asked the saint to complain, the dog joined the army and fucked her to the end, and went back to her hometown to farm. He is Cui Gong's wife's uncle, what kind of onion is you, your prospective son-in-law?"

This grandson is so arrogant. Wu Kang's face is as dark as the bottom of the pot. He does not make verbal disputes and asks someone to treat Lao Su's wounds.

Du Mei laughed strangely and continued to sarcastically: "Your virtue is also my desire to marry Ninth Lady, and be your dream of spring and autumn! I will write a letter today. The saint loves the Seventeenth Princess the most. Just wait for the imperial edict and go home to farm. At that time, the delicate Ninth Lady is ours, hum..."

You also have a great dream of spring and autumn, and you have accepted the ceremony of the Conquest. Jiu Niang is the wife of the Wu family. Even if I go home to raise pigs, she will... not right! Wu Kang's pupils tightened and bowed and smiled and said, "What Master Du said is that I am not worthy of Jiu Niang. It's all because I have no eyes and don't know the god of Du Shaozun. If you want to beat and scold me, you will listen to the master. The eldest young master just said, "Princess Seventeen is right?"

"It's the Seventeenth Princess! Let me tell you the truth, she grew up eating my aunt." Du Mei pulled her to 250,000 yuan, shook her head and said, "It's too late to apologize now! The surname Wu, I'll give you a chance. As long as you kneel down and apologize, and then ask Mr. Cui to regret the marriage, and compensate me eight times more... What are your expressions and why are you laughing?"

Wu Kang smiled happily, his waist gradually straightened, and Guan Wei found it. If another princess had to go two ways, she would either spit out wine and ask for the old fox or ask Sister Wu for help. However, Sister Wu was busy with palace fighting and might not have paid attention to me. In this way, she could only be robbed and spit out all the wine and she would have been spit out.

However, I am not afraid of the Seventeenth Princess. She is the beloved daughter of the late President Li, the seventeenth sister of the President Li Jiu, Fang Xuanling's daughter-in-law, the cuckold king Fang Yiai's daughter-in-law, the pig's feet on the jade pillow, and the famous Princess Gaoyang in history.

Although I had never met her, this admiration was like the surging river. Gao Yang and Wu Jie were a virtuous person with countless faces. When I recall history carefully, my smile became sweeter, and my huge plans surged in my mind. He laughed wildly at the sky.

Everyone was confused, and Daniu rushed over and helped him and shouted anxiously: "Go and invite Wu Kai and his son, go and report to the ninth lady, Wu Gong's hysteria has recurred... Wu Gong, don't be afraid, his aunt is just a servant, your sister is Zhaoyi, the saint will definitely be directed at you, we are not afraid..."

"What are you hysterical, you're hysterical," Wu Kai pushed Da Niu away and scolded with a stern face: "There is no need for a sister to take action, and I can handle it. Da Niu entertains Master Du and give him a plastic surgery. If his mother can recognize him, I will let your mother recognize you. Why are you standing there? Beat me to death!"

As the saying goes, when the sky falls, the tall ones are holding us up, and the boss will beat us. The minions have been fed up with Du Mei, and kicked him out of the chair and greeted him with a crackling sound.

Du Mei was completely crazy and roared: "Wu Kang...I want you to kill all your family!"
Chapter completed!
