Chapter 54 Gambling Addiction
The largest money house in Xiling is not a local money house, but Baofenglong, which is known to the world.
Baofenglong has existed since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and is spread throughout the Tang Dynasty empire with strong financial resources. It is said that when the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty founded, Baofenglong provided a lot of money behind the scenes. The facts prove that Baofenglong's vision is indeed unique. After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Baofenglong flourished.
Although Xiling was actually controlled by the three major clans, Bao Fenglong still successfully opened money shops in various parts of Xiling.
This is not that the Xiling clan does not want to do such a business, but that even with the strength of the Xiling clan, it cannot reach the scale of Baofenglong.
To connect the world, Bao Fenglong has put in countless manpower, material resources and financial resources to achieve it, and it is definitely not something that ordinary wealthy businessmen can get involved.
It is also the credibility of the century-old bank that allows Baofenglong’s silver notes to be circulated all over the world. As long as you hold Baofenglong’s silver notes in your hand, you can mention silver at any Baofenglong bank at any time.
There are five or six money houses in Guicheng, but the other companies are not as good as Baofenglong's business.
Baofenglong is open for twelve hours a day, day and night.
When Mu Yeji came out of Bao Fenglong, it was still early, and it was still some time before dawn.
The little teacher was in high spirits, walked across a street and into an alley. When he saw Qin Xiao waiting, he took out a stack of silver notes from his arms and shook at Qin Xiao: "The mission is done!"
Qin Xiao asked the little teacher to agree to something, of course he didn't have any inappropriate thoughts about her.
Where to put a thousand taels of silver on the ground is really a problem for Qin Xiao.
It is naturally impossible to carry a package every day, but he was not relieved to keep it at home. After all, there was a Ghost Hand 3 incident, and the home was not a safe place.
Turtle City is a city of mixed fish and dragons, with all kinds of religions and all kinds of people. There are thieves without five hundred and three hundred. One thousand taels of white silver is placed in the house, so Qin Xiao is certainly worried.
After thinking about it, the best way is of course to exchange cash bank for silver notes, and the best silver notes are of course Baofenglong’s silver notes.
Exchange banknotes is naturally not difficult. If you bring cash into Baofenglong, you will definitely help you get things done as quickly as possible.
But Qin Xiao knew that he could not exchange the silver bill himself.
He is also a frequent visitor of Baofenglong. People come and go every day, and the people in it think it is better to know him. However, if someone knows him, he will bring in a thousand taels of silver ingots to exchange for silver notes. If he spreads it out at this time, it will inevitably cause big trouble.
He didn't forget that Zhen Hou's Mansion had been staring at the Duwei Mansion.
If it were in the past, Zhen Hou’s Mansion would naturally not take a small prisoner seriously.
But after the incident of the imperial Buddha statue, he had become a thorn in the eyes of the Zhenhou Mansion. If the Zhenhou Mansion knew that he had saved a thousand taels of silver in Baofenglong, it would not be a trivial matter.
It would be perfect for Mu Yeji to exchange silver notes.
"Count it yourself, there are 900 taels in total." Mu Yeji handed over the silver notes, but said a little unwillingly: "Young man, are you too stingy? I am a master of Jiangu at least. You asked me to run errands for you, leaving only one hundred taels for me. Does your conscience hurt?"
Qin Xiao rolled his eyes and whispered: "My little sister, go and inquire yourself to see if you can find a job of running a hundred taels of silver. If there is one, you can introduce me immediately."
Mu Yeji still said unhappily: "You only own 90% of the money, and I always feel that I have lost a lot."
"I can't earn a hundred taels for a month." Qin Xiao put the silver notes in his hand: "If you weren't for the sake of being a junior sister, one tael of silver would be more than enough to send you." Thinking of something, he reached out and said, "You are now well-developed. Shouldn't you pay me back the money you owed me before?"
Mu Yeji looked up and down at Qin Xiao and sighed, "Did you know me the first day? You want to get silver from me unless you kill me." She waved her hand and said, "You go back first."
"And you?"
"I was so angry that I was in a bad mood by you all night, so I walked around." Mu Yeji turned around and left: "Don't take my bed, I'll have to sleep when I go back."
Qin Xiao watched Mu Yeji twist his waist and leave, spit out, and cursed, "I'm greedy for money and gambling, and bullying the weak, and sooner or later I will be punished." He knew in his heart that Mu Yeji had money in his hand, so he was naturally unwilling to stay in the house. At this moment, he must be going to the casino.
Jingou Gambling House happens to be on the nearby street. Qin Xiao wondered if Mu Yeji was going to Jingou Gambling House?
The Jinhook Gambling House is the stronghold of the Death Wing of the Death Wing of the Huangxi, but the main master Wen Budao has returned to the Death Wing of the Huangxi, and Qiao Leshan, who occupied the magpie's nest, has also been cut off his head. However, the land deed of the gambling house fell into the hands of Zhenhou's mansion. What is the Goldenhook Gambling House like now really makes Qin Xiao curious.
At this moment, he was really sleepy. He wanted to see if Mu Yeji was really going to gamble, and secondly, he wanted to see what the Jinghou Gambling House looks like now. He took a shortcut and arrived at the street of the gambling house. He saw two big lanterns hanging from the entrance of the gambling house from afar.
In the Turtle City, in addition to Baofenglong, another place that does not close for twelve hours a day is the gambling workshops.
The brothels and music shops will rest during the day, but the gambling shops will not stop day and night, and the business trips from all over the world enjoy each other in the gambling shop.
He did not rush to get to the gambling house. He broke it and came over. If Mu Yeji really came to the gambling house, he would arrive soon. Sure enough, before he could think about it, he saw Mu Yeji crawling out of an alley, looking around and speeding up, and crawling into the gambling house.
Qin Xiao sighed and thought to himself that it would be fine if the little master likes to bet, but the key is that his gambling skills must be extremely bad, otherwise he would not lose as much money as he would.
Tonight, under her hard work, I gave her 100 taels of silver. When I stepped into the gambling house, I was afraid that I would be penniless again when I stepped into the gambling house.
Wen Budao and Qiao Leshan are no longer in the gambling house, but the Jinggou gambling house is as lively as ever, and you can hear the clamor coming from inside from afar.
Qin Xiao walked to the gambling house gate, and two big men, one left and one right, were guarding the door, without stopping them. When he entered, a sour smell mixed with various smells came to his face, making Qin Xiao unable to help but cover his nose.
The gambling house has two floors. Although the smell is bad, it is decorated in a grand manner and the venue is open.
Although Qin Xiao learned a lot of gambling techniques with Wen Budao, today is the first time he has actually entered the gambling house.
The gambling method is actually very simple. Apart from pushing Paijiu, it is just betting on the size of the game. The downstairs are pushing Paijiu, and if you want to bet on the size of the game, you have to go up to the second floor.
In addition to the guys in the gambling house guarding around to prevent people from having sex, there are also people walking between tables with flexible eyes, obviously being wary of gamblers making frauds here.
Qin Xiao walked around the floor, but no one cared about him. He didn't see Mu Yeji. He went up the second floor and glanced at him. There were three gambling tables from left to right on the second floor, which were used to bet on the size. This was the simplest and most brutal gambling method. The gambling officer shook the dice, and the gamblers bet on the big and small. Once the points were opened, the winner was decided.
At this time, I saw Mu Yeji beside the gambling table on the left. There were about ten people around the gambling table, not too many.
There was not only Mu Yeji in the gambling house, but Qin Xiao also saw more than a dozen people upstairs and downstairs. It seemed that gambling was never distinguished from men and women. However, at Mu Yeji's table, she was the only woman. Amid the noise, Mu Yeji actually rolled up her sleeves, revealing her white little arms, and the heroic and free and easy atmosphere of the world.
Qin Xiao was not close to him, but approached the table in the middle, but just looked at Mu Yeji from afar.
"Haha, great beauty, I'm sorry, you lost again." The gambling official from Mu Yeji smiled and said, "It seems that your luck is really not very good these days. It doesn't matter. If you lose all, call me brother and I'll lend you the money."
Mu Yeji was not angry and said in a bad voice: "That's OK. If you really lose the score, you should help me."
"It's easy to say." The gambling official teased: "A great beauty like you, can you still lose money if you speak?"
Many people around were laughing, and some people said, "Beauty, Hu Si is not a good thing. If you lend you money, you will have to pay for it. Don't be fooled by him. If you want to lack money, I have it here, just have it with me for a meal."
There was a burst of laughter around.
Mu Yeji was wandering around the world, and this small scene was naturally no problem. She cursed: "If you want women, go directly to the kiln, and if you gamble, shut up."
"You want to be in the kiln, I'm going to tease Mu Yeji every day..." The person next to him was going to tease Mu Yeji. Before he finished speaking, Mu Yeji had already raised his feet and kicked the man in the belly. The man oh, he was kicked to the ground, and there was another burst of laughter around him.
Qin Xiao saw Mu Yeji like this and could do nothing.
After gambled a few times in a row, maybe Mu Yeji was too lucky and never won a single one. Qin Xiao even suspected that the gambling official had done his tricks, and the gambling official said again: "Beauty, you have made a fortune. You have lost 60 taels in these games. Is there any money left on you?"
Qin Xiao was angry, and could no longer help it, so he leaned over and squeezed beside Mu Yeji. Although Mu Yeji was unruly, she did not allow her to get close to her body from beginning to end. Qin Xiao came over, Mu Yeji's face darkened, and she turned her head. Seeing Qin Xiao looking at her with a strange look, she was stunned for a moment, and then she was a little embarrassed, and she turned her head, as if she didn't know Qin Xiao.
The others naturally didn't know the relationship between Mu Yeji and Qin Xiao. Seeing that Mu Yeji had not placed a bet, the gambling official urged him a few times. Mu Yeji held an inch of silver in his hand and was embarrassed to put it on.
"Hurry up, great beauty, is there no money?" the gambling official urged: "You have to have the best life. If you really have no money, I will lend it to you? If you don't want to borrow it, you can bet on yourself, I will collect it."
Qin Xiao couldn't help but curse, "Boe your mother."
The gambling official's face darkened and he sneered: "Why is this brother cursing? This is a gambling shop. If you don't gamble, get out and make trouble here, but you don't have any good results."
Qin Xiao saw his stinky face, and thought of Mu Yeji throwing dozens of silver into the water, he was angry and pointed at the gambling official and said, "I bet with you one-on-one, do you dare?"
"Oh?" the gambling official laughed: "You want to bet with me one-on-one?" His body leaned forward slightly, smiling: "Why?"
When Mu Yeji saw Qin Xiao coming to catch the gambling, and she had already lost dozens of taels of silver, she felt a little guilty. When she saw Qin Xiao actually wanted to bet, she suddenly felt energetic and said, "Why? If I am here, if you don't agree, I will burn your gambling house."
Of course, the gambling official didn't know that Mu Yeji could do it, and just thought he was joking, but he still smiled and said, "Since the beauty has spoken, I'll give the beauty a face." He stared at Qin Xiao and said, "I just want to bet with me, one hundred taels a day, do you have money?"
Qin Xiao reached into his arms, took out one from the stack of silver notes, and slapped it on the table. It was a hundred taels of silver notes.
