Li Jiange glanced at the chips that had been bet on the table. The largest number of bets were on small and large points. They were piled up like a hill. It seemed that there were more gamblers seeking stability. After all, betting on large and small points had a greater chance of winning. In addition, single bets

There are also more people with small numbers below six, because today there is already an eighteen point. Based on experience, everyone speculates that the chance of a big number is relatively less. You know, because the odds of eighteen points are as high as ten to one.

, if the banker wants to give this number, it must be very cautious. Sometimes it can go several days without seeing an eighteen point!

But gamblers are gamblers, and they are born with a sense of drive. At 18 o'clock at the dealer's table, there were actually gamblers betting dozens of taels of silver chips on it!

Besides, the role of banker in this casino is not something that ordinary people can do. First of all, you have to have a strong memory. No matter how many people are betting on the banker table, as long as you make a move, he can remember it clearly for you, whether you win or lose, and you can hold it in his hand.

Holding a long rake, if you lose, they will take the chips you bet on the table and hand them to the assistant next to you. If you win, he will use the long rake to push the chips you paid to you, plus their own

The temptation is also extremely powerful, and sometimes even some onlookers who come to join in the fun can be dragged into the gambling game by their chattering!

Seeing that Li Jiange was still reluctant to place a bet, Zhuang He smiled and said: "Uncle, how about you try to find out more carefully? I will open this treasure first. You can wait a moment and place the next treasure?"

Li Jiange waved his hand: "No, I will bet on you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he slapped all five copper chips in his hand onto the dealer's table at 18 o'clock with a bang!

The gamblers around were stunned for a moment, and they all started talking about it. They didn't expect that when the lottery draw was approaching, someone would come up and bet five hundred taels of silver. The key was to bet on the eighteen points that no one was optimistic about.

Old gamblers all know that it is almost impossible for the Wu Casino to have 18 o'clock twice in one day, not to mention that it was less than half an hour since the last time 18 o'clock occurred.

Unexpectedly, one wave came after another. Before the banker could recover, there were several gamblers behind who had been hesitant. They all followed suit and put their chips into the 18-point mark, although it was not much.

, but there are also hundreds of taels, which makes even the experienced casino dealer nervous.

Finally, amidst the shouts of the gamblers, the dealer suddenly took away the dice cup. Everyone was shocked when they saw the three treasures, each with six red dots on them, clearly visible in front of their eyes.

, neatly placed on the dice tray, eighteen o'clock unexpectedly appeared again in less than an hour, please explain this! Various sounds of annoyance suddenly sounded from the crowd, and the dealer himself was shocked and dumbfounded!

The few gamblers who finally followed Li Jiange's bets were all smiling and thanked him repeatedly. At this time, the banker handed over five exchange slips stamped with the rectangular red seal of the casino, each with a denomination of one thousand taels.

Ask him to go to the counter and exchange it for silver taels or silver notes, and at the same time use a long rake to push the five copper chips back to him.

Li Jiange took the exchange note with one hand and grabbed the copper chips on the table with the other. Amidst the boos from the crowd, he turned around and left the banker's table without looking back. The bottom line for a mature gambler is to just give up when you are good!

At the casino counter, Li Jiange exchanged the exchange slips and copper chips in his hand into small denomination silver notes of one hundred taels or two hundred taels each, and then walked out of the casino. Sure enough, as he expected, there was a car with a carriage at the door.

The carriage was parked there, and Tong Ermao, the servant who had just led him upstairs to see Wu Guanglu, was standing beside the carriage waiting for him. When he saw him coming out, Tong Ermao didn't say much, bowed his hand to him, and climbed into the driving seat in front.

Li Jiange entered the carriage and found that the two windows on the carriage had been covered with black cloth. As soon as he sat down in the carriage, the carriage began to rush, but the rush did not last long.

Long, it soon slowed down, and then there was the sound of a door opening in front of him. Then the carriage seemed to have entered a yard and stopped. Before he could think about it, the thick door curtain was suddenly lifted from the outside, and Wu Guanglu's fat face

His face appeared outside the car door, he laughed and said: "Master Chief, come down and admire my new house first, and then I will introduce you to a noble person!"

Li Jiange jumped out of the car and said with a laugh: "Okay, your Yuanwai Wu's houses in Xinjing City should be countless. If you look at each house, you will be able to see where it is! I feel sorry for you.

The noble person I introduced is more interested!"

When Wu Guanglu heard this, he said with a smile on his face: "Being respectful is worse than obeying orders, so I won't take the Chief Inspector to see my new house."

Li Jiange waved his hand: "Executive member Wu, please lead the way."

Wu Guanglu's house is a quadrangle with three entrances. The middle courtyard is the main courtyard. Li Jiange followed him through the second entrance gate. His eyes suddenly opened up. The middle courtyard is very large, with cloisters, rockeries, and fish ponds.

The main house of the courtyard is a row of five large rooms with carved beams and painted beams. At this moment, among the five large rooms, only the door of the middle room is ajar. The other four rooms have closed doors, with standing doors on both sides.

A guard with an expressionless face, wearing the uniform of the Imperial Guards and armed with a sword.

Seeing this posture, Li Jiange immediately knew who the nobleman he wanted to see was. Although they were both officials in Xinjing City, Li Jiange did not know Zhuge Cheng, and the two of them had not even met.

However, the key factor in this is that the difference between their two levels of official positions and status is so huge! There is no chance to meet at all.

In fact, if Li Jiange had not made a great contribution in arresting the famous rebel Wang Lianshan who was wanted by the court a few days ago, he would still be an ordinary policeman with no rank.

You know, this Wang Lianshan has been wandering around the world for many years. People in the world gave him the nickname Golden Sword Lone Walker. His superior kung fu has kept the court from catching him for many years. Therefore, when Su Chengxuan learned that Wang Lianshan had been caught by Li Jiange, he was delighted.

, he directly named Li Jiange the eighth-rank chief arrester of the Xinjing Prefecture, and gave him another two hundred taels of silver. However, because the court had no money, the reward is still owed to this day.

The two of them walked through the courtyard one after another and walked to the door of the main room. Wu Guanglu turned around and motioned to Li Jiange to wait here for the time being and let him go in first to report. He then straightened his back and walked proudly past the two guards, reaching out to push them away.

He opened the door and reported to the people inside: "Sir Taiwei, Capt. Li from Xinjing Mansion has come to pay his respects!"

Then Li Jiange heard the person in the room say in a faint tone: "Well, let him come in."

It is said that one level of officialdom is overwhelming, not to mention that this Taiwei is about ten levels older than himself. At that moment, Li Jiange did not wait for Wu Guanglu to greet him, he quickly bowed down, walked into the room with small steps, lowered his head and held his hands.

Said: "I'm going to see you, Lord Taiwei."

"That's all, sit down!" Zhuge said calmly and pointed to the stool placed under him.

Li Jiange carefully sat down on the stool with half of his buttocks tilted, and took the opportunity to quickly look around. He saw a long table in the middle of the room, a square table under the long table, and another table under the table.

There is a heating stove with a glowing fire inside. On both sides of the table, there is a thickly cushioned Taishi chair. Sitting on the Taishi chair near him is an old man with a short figure and a tall figure wearing court clothes. He may have been in court for many years.

Because he was an official, the old man was sitting in the chair. Even if he didn't make any pretense, his face had an expression of calmness and dignity.

Sitting on the Taishi chair opposite the old man was a beautiful, refined, graceful and elegant young woman in her twenties, especially her fair and tender face, with a pair of eyes that looked forward to her appearance.

Li Jiange couldn't help but be stunned at first glance. The old man saw this, coughed heavily, and said with a sullen look on his face: "Are you Mr. Li from the Xinjing government office?"

"Yes, yes, I am the official!" Li Jiange came back to his senses and quickly responded with his hands in hand.

The old man glanced at Wu Guanglu, who was sitting next to the young woman, and asked, "I heard from Wu Yuanwai that you have a plan to help him get out of his current predicament. Is this the case?"

Li Jiange nodded repeatedly: "Sir Taiwei, I did say this to Wu Yuanwai."

"Oh, tell me then." Zhuge Cheng said as he picked up the tea bowl on the table, opened the lid and took a sip.

Li Jiange couldn't help but swallowed his saliva and asked cautiously: "Sir Taiwei, I heard that the new Chen Tongpan is the face of the current emperor. I wonder if this is the case?"

When Zhuge Cheng heard that he put the tea bowl in his hand heavily on the table, he said seriously: "This man was originally the sixth prince of the Chen Kingdom. He has a good way of leading troops in war. I don't know who spread the word about the face-to-face relationship.

Don’t mention it again in the future!”

"Yes, yes." Li Jiange said yes repeatedly after hearing this, and then said: "Sir Taiwei, what I want to say is actually that Chen Tongpian relied on the emperor's favor to get very drunk at noon today.

, but ignored the persuasion of others and insisted on going to court to investigate the case. No, first he sent the Yamen to the duck restaurant to catch the ducks for interrogation. Then he believed in the words of the old lady Ji and asked me indiscriminately.

You brought two government officials to Chen Yuan's house to arrest the Sixth Madam, don't you think this is nonsense?"

"What? He said he wanted to interrogate the duck!" Wu Guanglu couldn't help but stare and laugh. Even the dignified young woman next to him couldn't help it, and burst out laughing.

Zhuge Cheng's eyes flashed and he said with a smile: "Captain Li, are you sure he is really drunk? Or is he pretending to be drunk on purpose?"

Li Jiange patted his chest and assured: "Master Taiwei, don't worry about this. Today at noon, the government office held a reception banquet for him in the dining hall. At that time, all high-ranking officials in the government office attended, and even Zhuang Tongzhi came over.

There are about dozens of people queuing up to toast him. Think about it, even if he could drink, he wouldn't be able to hold up so many people taking turns to toast him!"

"Okay!" Zhuge Cheng slammed the table and said excitedly: "It seems that this prince-in-law has not grasped any real evidence of Wang Liangdi. He is completely drunk and messed up! Mr. Li, without further ado, you and the two of you will immediately

A yamen official took Wang Liangdi to the court. It happened that the emperor summoned us to the palace during the feeding period to discuss relief for the refugees. At that time, I will try to get the emperor to go to the Xinjing government office hall in person to see how her consort examines ducks!

Ha ha."

Wu Guanglu felt nervous when he heard this and hurriedly said: "Sir Taiwei, isn't this inappropriate? What if the wife-in-law is brought to the court and the drunkard rashly executes her?"

Zhuge Cheng glanced at him and hummed: "When the emperor is present, are you still afraid that no one will make the decision for you?"

Seeing that Zhuge Cheng didn't understand what he meant, Wu Guanglu was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead. He waved his hands repeatedly and said: "Your Excellency, I'm afraid that before the emperor arrives, the drunkard will torture my wife first. If my wife can't be tortured for a while, really."

If you recruit everything, wouldn’t that be troublesome!”

Zhuge Cheng thought about it. He was sure that he could persuade the emperor to go to the government office, but he was not sure when the emperor would arrive. It was really a self-defeating thing. Then his old face would really have no place to put it!

At this moment, Li Jiange smiled at Wu Guanglu and said: "Wu Yuan, you don't have to worry about this. Later I will quietly send a message to the yamen in the office. Even if this prince-in-law really wants to torture his wife,
Chapter completed!
