"Juqianzhuang" doesn't look like a gambling shop from the outside, it looks like a pawn shop, and the signboard is very small. Only people who like gambling know the inside. There is a corridor at the entrance, which separates the hustle and bustle of the shop from the outside world. After passing the corridor

, opening another door will make you feel like you are in another world.

The spacious hall was full of people, with music and drums beating, and everyone with fanatical faces gathered around different gambling tables, betting on their own future and destiny.

Some people have mountains of money in front of them, and some people are left with only one life when they lose. Those who win refuse to give up, and those who lose want to recover their losses. It is common for them to make noises and use swords. Once they argue, they will

Someone from a gambling house will take care of it.

Feng Erniang was patrolling the area and saw a man who had lost money and was cheating. She said that the banker was a cheater and that she knew the father-in-law in the palace. She insisted on taking the banker to see the official. She got into a fight with everyone on the scene, and several guards started talking.

About to step forward, Feng Erniang sneered and walked up to the man. Everyone immediately fell silent and took two steps back. Feng Erniang grabbed the man's collar and pressed his face hard against the gaming table. The man's facial features suddenly deformed.

.

"Did you see that? Who is that?"

The man looked sideways and saw a fair man in red playing dominoes on another table.

"Do you recognize it?"

The man's speech was unclear, "I don't recognize..."

"Eunuch Liu's godson from the palace, would you like me to introduce him to you?"

"No, no need." The man apologized with a smile, "I don't dare, I don't dare."

"Go away, don't let me see you next time."

The man ran away in a mess. Feng Erniang clapped her hands and said with a smile, "Everyone, continue."

No one paid much attention to this scene. It was no wonder that everyone was busy winning money. Feng Erniang went up to the second floor and looked at the gamblers in the hall with boredom. The ones who won money shouted excitedly, while those who lost money were dejected. There were two people

There was a quarrel, two people were crying, a few drunkards were entangled with the dancers, the red-clothed father-in-law was the godson of Liu Eunuch, and he was just a little eunuch, but the gambling shop also treated such a little eunuch with care.

He won a lot of money. It was not easy to go out of the palace. Seeing that it was getting late, the little eunuch took a few pieces of silver and hurried away with a smile... All things in life are best here.

What she saw was the ugliness of all living beings. Only when Feng Erniang looked at them did she feel that her life was not so miserable.

A burst of fragrance came.

Chef Cui San came over with a plate of fish and said with a smile, "Braised cod, ready."

Feng Erniang groaned, "What kind of fish?"

"Cod?"

"From the sea?"

Cui San nodded and said proudly, "The chef of Zuixian Tower is my friend. I asked him to secretly sell one to me. This is a good thing. It is shipped from the sea and is expensive."

Feng Erniang looked at him sideways, "Do you still know the chef of Zuixianlou?"

Cui San smiled and said, "We have met once and we are friends."

Jianghu people have always been familiar with each other.

Feng Erniang chuckled and said, "There are cods here and there, you have been deceived."

Cui Sanyi was stunned, looked at the things on the plate, and affirmed, "He won't lie to me."

"That's all, that's all, but it smells okay. Let's go and have a taste."

The two of them walked into the room. Cui San handed over the chopsticks and bowl in a flattering manner. Feng Erniang took a bite, nodded, and shook her head.

"Not delicious?"

Feng Erniang wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, "This is not cod. This method of cooking is fine. If it is cod, steaming is best."

"ah?"

Cui San also took a bite with chopsticks and said, "I think it's very good."

Feng Erniang said, "That's because you have never eaten real sea fish."

Cui Sandao, "Second Lady must have eaten it."

"That's natural. I almost vomited after eating it."

"The second lady is from the coast?"

"I..." Feng Erniang raised her head and saw Cui San's expression. What she just said was just a casual question, "Why do you care so much? If you don't go to work, your salary will be deducted."

"Yes, yes." Cui San smiled and said, "Second Lady is kind-hearted and will not deduct my salary."

Feng Erniang picked up the chopsticks and was about to throw them at him, but Cui San ran out immediately.

Cui San was originally an idler who wandered around the world. What is an idler? He just did all the stealing, cheating and abduction. He came to the gambling house half a month ago and won some money. He was very confident. In order to win more, he simply gambled

He opened a house in the square, but unexpectedly he lost all his belongings and owed a lot of debt. If he hadn't accidentally found out that he had good cooking skills, his hands and feet would have been chopped off. Feng Erniang kept him.

Come down and cook for her to pay off her debt.

Who made Cui Sanling so articulate and good at cooking?

Feng Erniang liked the phrase "people are beautiful and have kind hearts". She sat back in front of the dressing table and traced her lips.

I just ate fish and it seemed like I lost some lipstick.

For a moment, there was a noise outside, which made Feng Erniang's hands tremble, and she almost traced her lipstick to her chin. She walked out of the house angrily, and was shocked when she saw many government officials and police officers coming into the lobby.

"Who is the boss?" The leader was wearing an official uniform and had a high official rank.

Feng Erniang immediately greeted him with a smile.

"My lord, the boss here is the little girl. The little girl's surname is Feng. She is the second eldest child in the family, so everyone calls her the second lady." After saying this, Wang gave the other party a wink.

The man did not accept this trick and said, "I am Du Heng, the young minister of Dali Temple. I heard that Han Biao, a fugitive from the imperial court, is hiding here, and I have been ordered to search."

It turned out to be the young minister of Dali Temple, a senior official of the fourth rank, and he personally led the team?

Feng Erniang was startled, and her smile became more sincere, "Han Biao? We don't have such a person here..."

Before she could finish her words, Du Heng pushed her away and said, "Search every place."

The crowd immediately dispersed, making Feng Erniang so angry that she could do nothing. She winked at a boy in the hall and ordered others to bring tea and water. Unexpectedly, Du Hengli ignored him and took out a few receipts from his arms.

, "Is this what you have in mind?"

Feng Erniang took it and saw that it was indeed a few IOUs from the shop, and the name on them turned out to be Han Biao.

Feng Erniang was startled.

Du Heng sneered, "What? Are you still saying you don't know me?"

Feng Erniang put her hands together and said, "Call me the golden abacus."

Jin Abacus was in charge of money and loans in the gambling house. He was in his forties and ran out in a mess. Feng Erniang threw the receipt in his face, "What's going on?"

Jin Abacus picked it up from the ground, looked at it, and said with a smile, "This man comes to the casino several times a month and loses a lot of money, so he borrowed some money from the shop and wrote an IOU, because he is from Yongchang.

Supervisor, of course I have to borrow the money, he is so proud that he didn’t even negotiate interest.”

"Bah. You are crazy about making money. You dare to borrow money from anyone. He is a fugitive from the imperial court."

"Ah?" Jin Abacus softened, "I don't know."

"You two rarely come to act. Without the boss's permission, can the gambling house lend money out? Han Biao's portrait is posted everywhere, even on the door of your gambling house, but you, the boss, don't know?"

"I...I'm lazy, I don't care about these things."

Du Heng continued, "Some people saw with their own eyes that Han Biao appeared in the gambling house on the day of the boat accident. The wanted order states that anyone who sees a fugitive must report to the official. If you don't report, what is it if you are not covering up?"

Feng Erniang's face turned green and white, and she was a little angry, "This... You can't wrong this little girl... There are so many people coming and going in the gambling house, I can recognize them everywhere, come on

No one in the gambling house has any background."

Du Heng said coldly, "...You are right. Everyone who comes here has a background, including you, the boss lady, of course. So, are you threatening me?"

It seemed that he was a person with a great sense of justice and no need for salt. Feng Erniang smiled again and said, "If you want to search, sir, just go ahead and search." She took two steps closer to Du Heng and her voice was so soft that it could drip water. "This little girl must be all over her body."

With the cooperation of your heart." Then she fell directly towards Du Heng, but Du Heng got out of the way and Feng Erniang staggered.

The honey trap doesn't work either.

Feng Erniang thinks that she has exquisite make-up and gorgeous clothes. She is not just 28 years old, but she still has charm. Although not everyone likes her, she does not dislike her. This Du Heng is really ignorant.

"Catch him." Du Heng said.

"Wait, wait." Cui San ran out at this time, "You can't arrest, you can't arrest. If you haven't found the person yet, you can't convict the second lady. Dali Temple is a reasonable place...

..”

Before he could finish speaking, he was punched in the stomach.

There was a quarrel in the gambling house, and many people gathered outside the gambling house to watch. When Huaixiu and the others arrived, they saw many officials, "people from Dali Temple," Jiang Zedao said.

"Why are they here?" Chang'an suddenly spotted a person, "It's Hu Yuzhu."

Among the onlookers, Hu Yuzhu was indeed there.

"Why did you offend her?" Chang'an felt that Yuzhu's eyes were different from usual, "She looked at you like a knife."

Jiang Ze snorted lightly.

"Isn't it because of Huaixiu?"

Jiang Ze looked at Huaixiu. She was always looking at the situation in the gambling house, and she was obviously anxious because she couldn't enter.

After a while, someone finally came out of the casino, and two government officials carried a body.

"What's going on? Is someone dead?"

"No wonder people from Dali Temple came."

"I didn't hear the fight."

"This is a gambling house. Who doesn't have people here? It's not strange for one or two people to die."
