Chapter 97 Order to Rectify
"Bah bang bang!"
"Let me introduce to you-"
"This is Miss Wei Feifei Wei, and this is Young Master Wei Baoju. They have a good background, but it has nothing to do with us. Let's date each other regardless of our status."
"From now on, these two will be our new partners. In two days, they will be apprentices to Mr. Duan and my master. They are both members of the same family."
Cao Xin clapped his hands, controlled the rhythm, introduced the newcomers, and introduced to the siblings Wei Feifei and Wei Baoju: "Except for you two, everyone here comes from poor families, and their vision and knowledge are incomparable to those from rich families. So I
I thought of a way with my eldest brother to get everyone together every few days to talk about the latest news in Xijing City. After all, one person's knowledge and opinions are limited. If more than ten or twenty people come together, they can make up for it to some extent.
The shortcomings in this aspect are quite interesting. If you are interested, you can come here more often in the future."
"interesting!"
“I will definitely come every time!”
Wei Feifei was the first to respond, so positive!
"I--"
"I come here often too."
Wei Baoju was glared at by her sister and quickly expressed her stance.
He still didn't know what was going on.
Very confused.
But there are all young people present. Although there is a class gap, with Cao Xin in the middle to adjust the atmosphere, and Wei Feifei leading Wei Baoju to actively integrate, the atmosphere is quite warm.
soon.
Let’s get into the topic.
The first thing everyone talked about was the breaking news that the 'Tiedan Shenhou' had reappeared in the world.
…
"Do you all know about 'Sanyuanfang'?"
"The largest gambling house in Xijing City!"
"Four nights in a row."
"The four largest gambling houses in Sanyuanfang were burned to the ground by the 'Tiedan Shenhou'."
"The Lord Shen left a message - it is okay to open a gambling house, but not to borrow money at high interest rates, and even more not to seize a wife or daughter. There is zero tolerance. He ordered all the gambling houses in Xijing City, headed by 'Sanyuanfang', to conduct self-examination
Correct yourself, otherwise we will burn them all down!"
Lu Damiao's face turned red.
Since March this year, after the Embroidery Department listed the 'Tiedan Shenhou' as a key target, he has rarely appeared.
Almost disappeared for nearly eight months.
When people were almost forgetting about this person, he suddenly appeared again, and as soon as he came back, it was earth-shattering!
Sanyuanfang!
How big an industry is this?!
There are more than a dozen gambling houses, large and small, distributed throughout Xijing City, with tens of thousands of gambling dollars flowing every day and thousands of gamblers received.
The background is extremely dark.
Even a wealthy family like the Ge family in Changxi Lake that has been around for decades can be wiped out in one go, which is extremely powerful.
But Tiedan Shenhou is brave and daring!
With one move, four gambling houses were burned down, flames shot into the sky, and the entire Xijing city was shaken.
"Sanyuanfang?"
Cao Ren listened. His focus was not on the 'Tiedan Shenhou', but on 'Sanyuanfang'.
I almost suspected that I heard it wrong.
If you remember correctly, your own 'Caojiazhuang' was the doorway through which Master Duan rushed away from the 'Shazhang Zhou Family', and then contacted 'Sanyuanfang' and took it from Sanyuanfang.
Now.
Caozhuang was initially decided.
You turned around and burned the place?
It’s really yours!
Cao Ren glanced at Cao Xin and felt strange.
but--
"Chu Qian?"
"Lending?"
"Forcing people to sell their wives and daughters?"
If this is the case, the burning is not unfair.
Love is love.
Reason is reason.
The Caojiazhuang that the Cao family spent money to buy from Sanyuanfang was not really a big favor, it was just a bit of love, not a life-long friendship.
And what ‘Sanyuanfang’ did——
"The world is as black as crows!"
"Which gambling shop in Xijing City doesn't do some evil things?"
"Originally, it was fine if no one mentioned it, but now it has been directly exposed by the 'Iron God Marquis'. No one can even think of being a bitch and setting up a memorial arch."
"Sanyuanfang is no exception."
"It's not just Sanyuanfang. In the past ten days, including the four gambling houses in Sanyuanfang, one by one every night, the 'Tiedan Shenhou' burned down a total of seventeen gambling houses!"
"Tsk tsk!"
"I admire it! I feel so happy!"
Xie Changlin clapped his hands and felt happy.
In fact, if it hadn't been for the appearance of the "Tiedan Shenhou", ordinary people, such as these serious young people who do not engage in gambling, would not have been exposed to it, could not see it, and could not imagine it, and their knowledge would be like seeing flowers in the fog.
They are completely unaware of the overt and covert tactics of gambling houses.
It wasn't until the iron gall god Hou Jingtian was shocked that he was burned for seventeen consecutive times, and the general public was awakened from the burning.
"In the past, gamblers went bankrupt and sold their children and daughters and wives. Everyone would only despise and condemn the gamblers. Who could think deeper and think about the twists and turns behind this."
Zou Long sighed.
No buying and selling, no harm.
If there weren't those loan sharks and those who only keep an eye on wives and daughters, gamblers would eventually have their limits no matter how serious their gambling nature was.
What the ‘Tiedan Shenhou’ wants is to draw a line.
"Does this work?" Zou Hu was curious.
"Whether it works or not is another matter."
"At least it's a deterrent."
Lu Damiao was a police officer and knew this game the most. He laughed and said: "The 'Tie Guan Shen Hou' is as good as ever, and the seventeen gambling houses all started fires in the middle of the night when no one was around.
Take Sanyuanfang as an example. The first two buildings were okay, but for the next two times, Sanyuanfang was cautious enough and left enough people on hand and outside to guard it at night. However, Tietan Shenhou still got in and set fire to everything.
.”
I have no idea how I got in or how I escaped.
Only the light of the fire was seen, but no one was seen.
This is too much of a deterrent.
"In the future, when the major gambling houses in Xijing City are lending money, and when they are concerned about other people's property, wives and children, they must carefully think about whether the news will be leaked, and whether the Iron Lord will know about it, and then come and set fire to it.
"
"Everyone in the yamen is saying that although the movement this time is not small, the effect may not be good."
"People die for money."
"You can make too much money too quickly by lending money, and you can't give it up at will."
"But in big gambling houses, you have to be careful."
"If the Iron Lord can come again a few times and burn down a house from time to time, then it will be a real deterrent and the number of loans can be reduced by at least half."
Lu Damiao was looking forward to it.
Cao Xin listened quietly and did not express his position. No one present except Cao Xin could have guessed that the 'Iron God Marquis' whom they were discussing so enthusiastically and admired was actually the ten-year-old Cao Kaoro.
I can't even think of it, let alone others?
Cao Xin is safe.
"No one who runs a gambling den is innocent."
"When I burn them all from south to north, the rules of the gambling house in Xijing City will be finalized."
"In the future, we will conduct private visits incognito from time to time, and burn down two houses from time to time. This will be considered consolidated."
Set your home on fire to accumulate virtue and do good deeds.
It is our duty to do so.
…
Tonight’s theme is ‘The Iron-Courage God’.
Cao Xin and others talked a lot about the 'Tiedan Shenhou' and 'Sanyuanfang'.
Wei Feifei and Wei Baoju are new here, and they still focus on listening and rarely speak.
But seeing the lively scene, Wei Baoju's eyes were filled with novelty. He rarely had such an experience.
As for Wei Feifei.
She stayed by Cao Xin's side, smelling the fresh body fragrance emanating from her good senior brother, and felt happy and extremely satisfied. From time to time, she heard Cao Xin speak again, smiling and saying something meaningful, and she couldn't take her eyes away and was elated.
As for the atmosphere in the venue——
Ha ha!
Good!
