Chapter 38

When the carriage arrived at the entrance of Xingwang Gambling House, Wang Xiao took out three hundred taels of silver and handed it over.

"Sir, aren't you embarrassing me? How can I find you?" The coachman looked very innocent.

Yes, five or six hundred thousand.

Wang Xiao had no choice but to collect the banknote, looked towards Xingwang Casino, and waved to the security guard standing at the door...no, the bodyguard.

When the big man saw that he was a guest arriving in a carriage, he stepped forward.

"Do you recognize me?" Wang Xiao asked.

"I don't recognize him," the big man said.

Wang laughed and said, "I came here three days ago, and you still beat me."

"I remembered, you brought a bitch with you to make a bet!"

"No, I'm not with them..."

After finally getting the thug to call the counter to pay the fare, Wang Xiao finally entered Xingwang Gambling House.

He learned well this time and first exchanged the three hundred taels of silver notes into loose silver. Then he said: "Take me to see Mr. Chai."

"My father doesn't have time to see you now. Just wait."

"How long do I have to wait?" Wang Xiao felt a little unhappy and thought to himself, do you still want me to take a number?

"Wait a minute," the counter said.

As he spoke, he looked Wang Xiao over and over, and thought to himself: Hey, I only did a business of forty silver, but my style is quite impressive. My Mr. Chai is meeting with a big customer, can I see you, a little shrimp?!

Xiao Chaihe was indeed meeting a big customer.

Big customers naturally receive treatment that was not available when Wang Xiao came.

The secret room, the tea is the best Duyun Maojian.

"It's rare for the uncle to come here. How is the second master doing lately?" Xiao Chaihe asked with a smile.

The visitor said: "I came here today not for business matters, but for some personal matters."

Xiao Chaihe became unusually polite in front of big clients, and was able to use some elegant words and said, "I'd like to hear the details."

"I feel ashamed to say that my wife was defrauded of 20,000 taels of silver. The gang pretended to be money lenders and promised my wife a very high interest rate. But in the end, even the principal was defrauded."

Xiao Chaihe understood and said: "Don't worry, uncle, I will investigate this matter for you. When the time comes, let them spit it out with interest. Just describe the appearance of that group of people."

"According to what my wife said, she is a woman dressed as a noble lady. She is less than 20 years old, maybe only 17 or 18 years old. She has a very beautiful appearance and a Jianghuai accent. She has a rather ugly girl and a fat head.

Big-eared horseman. The woman claimed her surname was Yan, and said that her husband’s family was a salt merchant from Yangzhou. There were too many goods and too little money, so it was difficult to turn around at the moment. Oh, my wife is also a smart person, and she will not take it easy.

Being deceived. But, that woman knows how to grasp people’s hearts..."

When the visitor said this, he shook his head and whispered softly: "My wife is very ambitious and wants to prove that she has business talent, so she fell into someone else's trap."

After making such an evaluation, the visitor continued: "Two months ago, the old lady of Xu Yuan's wife's family in the north of the city celebrated her birthday. My wife met this woman at the banquet, and they speculated on each other, and they started to communicate. At that time, she also said, that

The woman is rare in her beauty and talent. Later, the woman mentioned the matter of making money, so my wife first put a thousand taels with her, and within two days, she paid back a thousand taels. That's exactly what happened.

After borrowing and returning it from time to time, my wife gradually believed in her. Later, I saw her salt boat with her own eyes, and it indeed carried a lot of cargo. So ten days ago, my wife gave her another twenty thousand taels."

"It is this salt business that makes people feel most at ease." Xiao Chaihe said, "Where is the salt ship?"

"I checked and found that the salt boat did not belong to her, and the residence was rented. Now it is empty. The person has disappeared without a trace. This matter is very strange. I asked Zhang Yongnian of the patrol camp, and he actually checked it too.

No. This person is able to hide so deeply, he is no ordinary liar."

Xiao Chaihe muttered: "Yan, Yan... Then I think this surname is also fake."

"It's definitely fake." The visitor said, "By the way, her maid's name is Huazhi. This may be a clue."

Xiao Chaihe became a little embarrassed and said: "Such a liar may have left the capital once he was hit. I can only try my best to look for him. Don't have too much hope, sir."

"I know." The person stood up.

Xiao Chaihe hurriedly stood up to see them off, and said, "By the way, last time the Second Master was looking for useful handguns, I already found a few. Please let me know."

"I see."

The person who came said that, opened the door and walked out.

He had nothing shameful to do, and he didn't use the secret door here, so Shi Shiran walked to the outer hall.

Wang Xiaopo couldn't sit still in the hall over there and asked the counter: "Have you fished out the person I want to fish out?"

"I'm just a dice roll counter, how can I know?"

Wang Xiao laughed angrily at him and said, "Then why did you send a dice roll counter to greet me? Why don't you find a professional person?"

The counter was about to speak, but Wang Xiao stopped him.

"Don't say it, I understand."

I feel even less embarrassed to say it.

It's obvious that he looks down on me and thinks that what I do is not fierce enough.

Thinking like this, he looked into the courtyard boredly.

Seeing this, he was startled again.

"Brother?"

The big customer Xiao Chaihe is meeting is actually his eldest brother?

Why is eldest brother here? Isn't he a scholar...

Wang Xiao changed his mind and smiled, if Wang Zhen saw him here, he would definitely not let him go out again.

Wang Xiao was quite panicked after thinking about this.

He turned around and ran out. When he reached the casino outside, he took a closer look and saw that at the gate of the casino, Mi Qu had already hitched a carriage and was waiting there.

Wang Xiao looked around and became even more panicked.

He had no choice but to turn around and run upstairs.

There were small private rooms on the second floor, and Pai Gow was being promoted inside. Wang Xiao looked around and found only one private room that was empty, so he ran in.

Looking downstairs through the window of the private room, I saw Wang Zhen walking to the venue, but was stopped by a person.

The man was about the same age as Wang Zhen and seemed extremely enthusiastic.

"Hey, it's Brother Wang! Long time no see."

"Congratulations, brother." Wang Zhen cupped her hands.

"It's rare to see Brother Wang here. After I was expelled from the academy, I traveled to various places due to family business. Now, I haven't seen Brother Wang for more than ten years, right?"

Brother He's voice was quite loud, as if being expelled from the academy was a great honor.

Wang Zhen said: "Yes, Brother He is as handsome as yesterday."

"Brother Wang is the one who still has the same style. I still remember in those days, the person I admired the most was you, Brother Wang. At that time, Brother Wang, you took me to the brothel and I took you to the casino. We were really good teachers to each other! Haha!"

The casino downstairs was quite noisy, but Brother He's voice was clear and penetrating.

Seems to be showing off his dissoluteness.

As soon as he said these two words, many people looked at him with contempt.

"Yesterday, I heard about your deeds, Brother Wang. You slapped the new scholar, and then took out two of your brother's poems and slapped those self-proclaimed scholars hard. It was very satisfying."

"It's just a misunderstanding..."
