Gambling houses have always been one of the most profitable businesses in history. There are many gambling houses in Dongdu, countless large and small, and half of these gambling houses are controlled by the Luoshui Gang. The Luoshui Gang also controls the Luoshui River Transport.
Xiang Yingsheng made the Luoshui Gang the largest gang in Dongdu City.
At night, in a small gambling house controlled by the Luoshui Gang, it was noisy and lively, with loud and quiet sounds coming and going. As the big and small were revealed, some people were crying, some were laughing, some were beating their chests and feet, some were high-spirited to fight. It can be said that all kinds of emotions of all living beings can be seen at a panoramic view.
"big big big!"
The old man with disheveled hair and extremely high energy stared at the dice clock with his bloodshot eyes, shouting at the top of his lungs but still shouting desperately. "One shot will do it, one shot will come back today."
Now, I don’t believe it anymore. I’ve opened seventeen small hands tonight, and this one must be big!” The old man’s eyes were red with gambling, and his mind was full of opening the big hand.
The dice rolled and jumped in the dice clock, just like a group of gamblers clamoring and struggling in a gambling house. Finally, when their pockets are tight and their sleeves are empty, the dice stopped beating, and the dice clock opened little by little...
The dice counted two, three, and four. The old man was like a man with no muscles and bones, paralyzed in front of the gaming table, muttering in a daze, "It's over! It's over! It's all gone..."
The old man stooped and dragged his steps out of the gambling house with an expressionless expression. The stars in the autumn night could not illuminate the way the old man came... The thugs from the Luoshui Gang in the gambling house spat fiercely at the retreating figure.
One mouthful, in the eyes of the Luoshui Gang, the old man deserves to die. A guy who even sold his own daughter to be gambling capital is not a kid. God should let this old guy lose all his money before he is blind.
Gambling houses are open for business. What kind of gamblers have I never seen? They sell their property to gamble, and some even gamble with their lives. Only these gamblers who sell their wives and children are the most unpopular. If they are found out,
, you will also have to face lawsuits and be implicated. The laws of the Qian Dynasty were strict, and human trafficking was a serious crime. Those who sold people as slaves were hanged, those who sold people as slaves were exiled for three thousand miles, and those who sold people as wives, children and grandchildren were sentenced to three years. Old guy
In the current situation, let alone three years of apprenticeship, one would be dead.
The old man was so confused that he walked to the door of his house. When he opened the courtyard door, he saw candlelight in the house. He was refreshed and hurriedly opened the door. Before anyone could see him, he shouted: "Is Cuihua back? Cuihua is back?"
Hua quickly find some money for dad, and dad will give it a try..."
Cuihua stood in the house with a frosty face, but the old man seemed not to notice Cuihua's expression. He went up to rummage around Cuihua, but in the end he only found a few copper coins, and he didn't even notice that there was another person in the house.
Looking at the few copper coins in his hand, the old man suddenly became discouraged. This gambling money was of no use! The old man turned his head and suddenly saw someone else in the room. He was startled. After a brief shock, the old man
Feeling energetic again, he turned to look at Cuihua with a cold face: "Have you found your sweetheart again?"
The old man didn't give Cuihua a chance to explain. He looked up and down at the young man in front of him with his small eyes, but said in his mouth: "My Cuihua is famous for her beauty. If you want to get along with my Cuihua, you have to be better than him."
Dad, this is the test - twenty taels of silver, I will turn around and leave."
I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen such shameless people. They actually treat their own daughters as goods. Li Taiping couldn't help but frown...
Seeing the young man frowning, the old man thought that the other party didn't have enough money, so he lowered the price: "If you don't have twenty taels, then ten taels. If you don't even have ten taels, be careful, I will go to the government and sue you for kidnapping my daughter!"
Before Li Taiping could say anything, Cuihua couldn't stand listening anymore. She pointed her finger at the old man and was trembling with anger: "Are you still a human being? You just sold your daughter to the Wang family, and now you are about to sell it again! I——
I don't have a father like you. From now on, you and I will sever the relationship between father and daughter."
Seeing Cuihua's statement, Li Taiping smiled, then took out a sword from the sword box and put it on the old man's neck: "I heard you! From now on, if you are looking for Cuihua, I will chop you with one sword.
.Now bring me the paperwork for the sale of your daughter. If you are slow, I might kill you too."
Feeling the sharp edge of the sword at his neck, the old man knelt down and begged for mercy: "Young hero, spare your life! Major, I will never look for Cuihua again. If you go out to find Cuihua again, God will kill you!"
"Don't say anything about it. All you need to know is that from now on, if you look at Cuihua again, I will put a dog's head on your neck. Now give me the purchase and sale documents." Li Taiping threatened.
How dare you leave a document about selling your son or daughter? The old man just accepted Wang Danren twenty taels of silver and verbally agreed to sell his daughter to Wang Danren as his concubine. Wang Danren didn't need a sales document. He was the only one in Dongdu City who cheated others.
, no one dared to trick him. The old man knelt down and kowtowed one after another, promising that there would be no sales documents, and then Li Taiping let him go...
Cuihua's father's matter was temporarily settled, and the betrayal and Wang Danren were still unresolved. Li Taiping thought it was not safe for Cuihua to stay here, so he took Cuihua to find an inn close to the palace to settle Cuihua.
He also reassured Cuihua that Li Taiping always had a beginning and an end to his work.
Li Taiping has no intention of bringing Cuihua back to the palace. Although it is nothing for the palace to support eight more people, after all, he brought this matter to himself and has nothing to do with the palace. There is no need to involve the palace and other people. Li Taiping
Returning to the palace, he went to the concierge and the guards to find out the details about Wang Danren. Seeing how the guards gritted their teeth when Wang Danren was mentioned, Li Taiping gave up his previous plan and prepared to go directly to Wang Danren to resolve the matter. Before investigating Wang Danren, Li Taiping
He thought about talking to Wang Danfeng about this matter, but after hearing the evil things Wang Danren had done, Li Taiping felt that it was not necessary to talk to Wang Danfeng. It would be easier for him to chop such a scum into pieces with one sword.
The Wang Family's Heroes' Meeting has officially kicked off. There is only one rule in the arena competition. The winner is the one who can still stand in the arena after the battle. The winner will accept the challenge of the next challenger. Eight arenas are built on top of the heroes.
In the square above the building, eight champions will compete for the final showdown.
Pankou of the Luoshui Gang had already moved into the Hero Building at this time. Of course, such a large piece of meat was not something the Luoshui Gang could swallow. This tempting meal was divided into ten parts, with the Luoshui Gang and other large and small gangs accounting for 50%.
The Wang family monopolizes 50% of the property. The Luoshui Gang has no objections, and other gangs dare not say a word.
There are eight arenas, and the Wang family has sent a master to sit on each arena. The Wang family's people are not here to save people or danger, they are just to judge winners and losers. As the saying goes, there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. There is such a thing as a martial arts competition.
It's very simple. One judge is enough. Of course, the Wang family also has another role, that is, before the contestants come on stage, they must sign the life and death certificates. The life and death certificates are kept by the Wang family in case anyone is beaten to death by the deceased's family.
Back account.
There are many reckless heroes participating in the hero meeting, and of course there are even more people watching the fun. After all, you have to sign a life and death certificate. This is no joke. If you are not smart, you may lose your life if you are not careful. If you don't
For a while, I really didn't dare to be the champion.
As the second master of the Wang family rang the gong, the ring competition began. Before the sound of the gong had faded, heroes were seen taking the stage on all eight rings...
On the first day of the competition, some self-identified masters did not participate, but there are exceptions to everything. The appearance of one person made that person's arena no one challenge from the beginning to the end of the day, making it look particularly deserted.
The way of swordsmanship comes from the west. Coming all the way from Mobei to Dongdu is not for the Wang family's troubles, but to sharpen the sword. So before the gong stopped, he flew down to the ring. Since he came here
A sword-sharpener hopes that the person who comes up is worthy of his sword.
The moment Jian Xilai stepped onto the ring, he drew his sword, and only one sword was drawn. The sword energy was vertical and horizontal, and the sword marks on the big bluestones on the ring were intertwined. Except for where Jian Xilai was standing, there was no place to stand.
"Eighth grade! This person is eighth grade!"
"Grandma's fault! Why did you go up so early to Grade 8, and why didn't you let others show your face?"
"You're blind! That's the peak of the eighth level, and the sword energy is already tangible!"
There was a lot of shouting and cursing around the ring where Jian Xilai was, but no one dared to come up to the stage to challenge, leaving the Wang family's judge speechless...
There were many eighth-grade warriors in the Daqian Dynasty. Even the Wang family of the Eastern Capital could pick out ten or twenty of them, but they were all veterans who had been struggling in the arena for decades. For such a young eighth-grade Wang family, there was only one Wang Danfeng.
, if you look at the Daqian Dynasty, they are very rare.
The news that Jian Xi was coming to play quickly reached the ears of the second master of the Wang family. The second master of the Wang family looked coldly in the direction of the ring in the distance, and then ordered his servants: "Go and invite Shen Gongxing, and tell him that I have something important to discuss with him.
"
Shen Gongxing, the leader of the Luoshui Gang, is already in his forties, but he looks like he is in his early thirties. He has a broad forehead and a square face, a tall body and a strong back. He walks like a dragon and a tiger with an extraordinary momentum. By chance when Shen Gongxing was young, he was passed down by an expert.
After three months of skills, the accomplished young man came to Dongdu to conquer the world. He fought countless fierce battles before he could take the position of leader of the Luoshui Gang. Shen Gongxing was an ambitious man. Over the years, he had annexed the whole family under the nose of the Wang family.
Many small gangs in Dongdu have unknowingly grown into people that even the Wang family dare not move easily. The Luoshui Gang has many disciples, and anyone who relies on Luoshui for a living will be under the supervision of the Luoshui Gang. It is no exaggeration to say that Shen Gongxing has an order
He could pull up a team of 8,000 people as soon as he got off his horse, and the second master of the Wang family had to call him the leader of the gang.
The second master of the Wang family and Shen Gongxing met without anyone behind their backs. They held a banquet in the Hero Building. The two drank for a long time before seeing Shen Gongxing leave. The next day, the handicap of all gambling houses in Dongdu City, large and small, was the most conspicuous.
The position indicates one's odds.
The odds of Jian Xi Lai increased hundreds of times overnight, and it was stated that whoever defeated Jian Xi Lai would receive 10% of the gambling money. This was no longer gambling, this was a naked reward. The second master of the Wang family crossed his legs and drank Nanfang Lai
The corners of his mouth turned up, "Seven heroes of Mobei dare to fight me! See how I kill you!"
After receiving the news, the red-haired ghost, the third of the Seven Heroes of Mobei, rushed all the way back to the inn. Before he arrived, he shouted loudly: "It's not good! The Wang family is up to something!"
Du Yanluo, the boss of the Seven Heroes of Mobei, knocked his cane on the ground. Looking at the red-haired ghost who was sweating profusely, he reprimanded: "Why panic! No matter what the Wang family does, I will take it. We, the Seven Heroes of Mobei, are afraid
Who will come?"
After hearing the news, Jian Xilai's expression remained calm and did not change at all. For Jian Xilai, he was not afraid of someone challenging him, but he was afraid that the person challenging him was not even qualified to let him use the sword.
The Seven Heroes of Mobei left the inn and headed to the Hero Building. Along the way, countless warriors pointed at Jian Xilai. Even people outside the Jianghu came up to take a look curiously. Jian Xilai was famous in Dongdu City.
