Chapter 64 The Third Young Master shall not enter the palace!
The bright moon moves westward,
It wasn't until the gong sounded at the third watch that Lao Du returned to his room with a few large pieces of silver in his arms.
"Lao Du doesn't look like an old man from a poor family at all. My lord, are you sure he has no other purpose in approaching you?"
Looking at Lao Du's leaving figure, Zhu Cang rolled his eyes.
Tonight, he lost a full ten taels of silver, and this was still based on twenty cents. If it was based on fifty cents... he might lose even more.
"Maybe this is his talent."
Li Mo shook his head slightly.
The waiter in the east of the city can't lie... Lao Du came to the east of the city to pick up Xiao Man three years ago. It was impossible to approach him purposely, and he only took him in as a good thing, nothing more.
.
"But that's fine. He staying at Qingfeng Gambling House can help you a lot, and he can also teach those customers better."
After regaining consciousness, Li Mo said again.
Although mahjong is fun, it needs someone to teach it. If no one teaches it... outsiders will only become more and more confused.
"That's true!"
Zhu Cang muttered, paused, and then said, "Master, can our Qingfeng Pavilion start recruiting new people now?"
The arrival of my lord heralds the official start of the establishment of Qingfeng Pavilion. If you want to operate a gambling house and form a chain monopoly, it will be impossible without a huge Jianghu force behind it.
At the moment, those gangsters don't know the relationship between Qingfeng Gambling House and Yibo House, so they can only set up another branch.
"Do you have anyone on your side?"
Li Mo turned around and asked.
"My lord, there are a few...but they still need to be tested again. I should be able to recruit a lot of people from the Xushan Mansion in the Eastern Capital. They have an extraordinary relationship with me. I can trust them as long as they come here."
"Okay! Let's start... If you meet a master of martial arts, you can send a message to Mr. Shi Mo and ask him to find a way to solve it secretly."
Li Mo nodded.
Qingfeng Pavilion and Yibo Building are two lines. From now on, Qingfeng Pavilion will mainly operate gambling houses. The owner of Qingfeng Pavilion is Zhu Cang.
However, Zhu Cang has not yet entered the seventh level, and some things cannot be controlled.
When he reaches the seventh rank seriously, he will be able to take charge of his own business.
"Yes! Lord"
Zhu Cang's eyes lit up and he bowed to accept the order.
He has been waiting for this day for a long time.
"Xiao Hai, when will the gift of books start?"
After a pause, Li Mo looked at Zhao Hai.
There will definitely be more and more customers in the gambling house in the future, and it is no longer suitable for him to stay here.
"Master, the Ministry of Etiquette has started the registration process, and the official book selection will begin in three days."
When asked, Zhao Hai quickly replied.
Although he has been at the gambling house recently, he has never forgotten his business.
"Well, you find an inn to stay at tomorrow and concentrate on preparing to send books for appreciation. In the future, when you contact Yibo Tower and Qingfeng Pavilion, try to stay in the dark."
Li Mo warned.
Along the way, the reputation of Yibo Tower has spread so fast that it is staggering. Now it must have attracted the attention of An Lushan and Yang Guozhong. Therefore, the court must keep a low profile, otherwise... once it is targeted by these two forces,
On the other hand, maybe we don’t have to wait until the Anshi Rebellion to suffer a devastating disaster on our side.
Compared with the cavalry army, which can easily number hundreds of thousands, the power of Jianghu is really nothing.
A ninth-grade master may be able to kill a hundred people with one sword, but he is not a god after all... he will be exhausted. What's more, there are also warriors of high grade in the army. Take Anxi Jiedushi Gao Xianzhi as an example, he is an eighth-grade warrior.
It's only one step away from the ninth level.
"Yes, Master!"
Zhao Hai nodded heavily.
"Okay, it's getting late, go to bed early..."
"Lord, then you..."
"I'll go to Li's Mansion tomorrow. By the way, I'll teach you another way to play later tomorrow."
Li Mo thought about it and said.
Now that he has returned to the Western Capital, he must pay a visit to the Li family, otherwise he will be targeted by people from the Li family again.
Anyway, right now, in the eyes of all parties, it is best to be as low-key as possible and have no sense of presence.
"yes!"
Zhu Cang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and his heart became more and more hopeful.
Speaking of which, mahjong is so fun...the other way to play it is certainly not bad either.
By then, it will be difficult for Qingfeng Gambling House to do well in business.
........
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, the sun rises three poles,
After having breakfast, packing his things and carrying his cloth bag, Li Mo left the gambling house through the back door. Walking on the street, his attire was not much different from that of the poor scholars who came to Chang'an from the small town to seek refuge with their relatives.
"Li's Mansion...should be in the southwest corner of Chang'an."
According to memory, after walking for about two sticks of incense, Li Mo finally saw the "long-lost" Li Mansion.
“This is it!”
After confirming that the place was correct, Li Mo stepped forward and asked for Jinmen.
"Stop, you are..."
But at this moment, the servant guarding the door of Li Mansion stepped in front of Li Mo.
"I'm Li Mo, the third oldest child in the family. I'm going home to visit my relatives this time."
Looking at the unfamiliar face in front of him, Li Mo tried to protect his family.
"Third Young Master?"
Hearing this, one of the servants looked up and down, his eyes gradually showing contempt.
"Um!"
Nodding, Li Mo took another step.
Since you have reported your identity, the two servants should not stop you anymore.
"Wait a minute! The master has given orders... The third young master is not allowed to enter the house."
However, the next moment, the servant not only did not get out of the way, but both of them blocked the way.
"I'm not allowed to enter the house? Why?"
Li Mo frowned.
"The master said that when the third master arrives in Xidu, he will find a place to stay by himself. There is no vacancy in the house. It will be fine when the third master comes back on the occasion of the master's birthday."
The servant's attitude is very tough.
He might not dare to meet the other three young masters in the house, but when he meets this one...hehe, there is nothing he can't dare to do.
"Are you sure?"
Li Mo's lips curled up slightly.
The matter was already very clear. Apparently his father felt that he was living a shabby life in Xidu and entering the palace early was a disgrace to his face. However, this played into his hands. If it wasn't for the sake of avoiding the gossip, he wouldn't want to go.
"Third Young Master, I am very sure, so...Third Young Master, please do as you please!"
The servant looked at Li Mo and smiled proudly.
"good!"
Li Mo turned around and left without saying a word.
Anyway, as long as you have been to Li Mansion, it will be fine.
"Hey...this third young master is quite tough. But what's so tough about a poor scholar like you? There's only one month left until the birthday party...It's hard to say whether you can survive in Chang'an."
Looking at Li Mo's leaving figure, the servant who spoke said disdainfully.
"Okay, hurry up and report to the housekeeper that we have sent the third young master away."
The servant next to him said.
"Um!"
........
As everyone knows, just when Li Mo turned around to leave, there was a man dressed as a servant in the distance of Li Mansion who saw the scene here. After thinking for a while, the man turned around and chased after Li Mo in the direction he left.
