The days when I fished in Daming

Chapter 238 Gambling
Zheng Xiong led a mighty force towards the casino.

Hao Dali led the way in front, and it didn't take long to go to the south of the city.

This area is the location of Shili Qinhuai, where the entertainment industry is concentrated, and there are many people from all walks of life gathered here.

This place where Lao Zhu specialized in serving wealthy businessmen also gave birth to the gambling house, which harvested wealth quickly.

Opening a gambling shop can be said to be a business that can make a profit without losing money. As long as there is a relationship in the future, the gambling shop can continue to operate.

Then you can keep making money.

The law of the gambling house is not afraid of you winning money, but afraid of you not coming. As long as you come, he will have income, otherwise he can only close down.

Not far from the brothel, Hao Dali walked to a courtyard where no plaque was hung, and stopped there.

Four or five burly men stood at the door, holding sticks in their hands.

Seeing Hao Dali coming here, there was no surprise on his face, he was obviously familiar with him, but he didn't care about Zheng Xiong's army behind him.

It is far away, and besides, it is the property of the brothers of the Ministry of War. Zheng Yiyan, the governor of Yingtian Mansion, has never troubled the gambling house.

So I didn't respond, just passing by.

But Hao Dali lingered at the door, but looked behind him. This unusual behavior made several big men who guarded the door very puzzled.

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, several strong men dare not neglect, they said to Hao Dali.

"Mr. Hao, if you want to go in, please move quickly, don't linger at the door."

Hao Dali heard the strong man's words, ignored him, glanced behind him again, talked about him from left to right, and answered absent-mindedly.

"I'm waiting for someone at the door, he'll be here in a while, you guys don't mind me."

The strong man looked at each other, not knowing what Hao Dali said, and continued.

"If Mr. Hao is waiting for someone, you should either move into the courtyard, or please stay away. Don't make it difficult for me to wait."

Hearing the strong man's words, Hao Dali was also a little anxious, and looked in the direction of Zheng Xiong, while Zheng Xiong and his party hanging behind stopped in the distance.

I saw that Zheng Xiong was directing the crowd, but he didn't know what he was ordering, but he didn't move forward.

The strong man also noticed that something was unusual, and followed Hao Dali's gaze to look at Zheng Xiong.

And Hao Dali's unusual behavior also made the appearance of Zheng Xiong and his party somewhat obtrusive.

"If Mr. Hao doesn't leave, then I can only offend you."

After finishing speaking, the strong man just wanted to use coercive methods to deal with Hao Dali.

Seeing that Zheng Xiong had finally finished the arrangement, the team of one hundred people was divided into two teams, and Zheng Xiong led one of the teams to walk towards the casino.

The purpose was obvious, the strong man had no choice but to give up his control over Hao Dali, sent one person to report back, and the rest of them stood ready.

After a while, Zheng Xiong walked to the door of the gambling house, instead of looking at the strong men, he asked Hao Dali.

"Is that so?"

Hao Dali replied respectfully upon hearing this.

"My lord, this is it."

The words of confirmation let Zheng Xiong know the location, and also let the strong men know that the visitor was not friendly, so they boldly asked.

"This lord is very polite. I don't know why your lord is here? I can go in and report to your lord."

Since he asked, Zheng Xiong's arrangements were not in place, so he asked casually, delaying the time.

"Let your manager come out, I have something to ask him."

This battle was obviously not something he could handle, the strong man was relieved when he heard Zheng Xiong's words, and hurriedly replied.

"The adults will report later, and the younger ones will report to the adults."

It was originally a gray industry, and the strong man didn't dare to let Zheng Xiong in.

Hearing what Zheng Xiong said, he went in and reported to the steward.

At the same time, the people who had gone in to report had already found the person in charge and explained the situation to him.

"Man in charge, it's not good. A group of officers and soldiers have come outside. It seems that the visitors are not friendly. They are heading in the direction of our gambling house."

When the steward heard this, he didn't rush, instead he reprimanded the people.

"I'm in a hurry, what's the big deal for me, aren't I just officers and soldiers?"

"The eldest brother of our second master is the Minister of the Ministry of War. With his old man covering him, you are afraid of a ball!"

Hearing what the steward said, the reporter felt a little more at ease, and the steward continued to ask.

"Did you see who the officer is? How many people have you brought? What kind of weapon is in your hand?"

The reporter thought for a while, and then gave the answer to the steward.

"It's far away, and the leading officials can't see clearly. There are quite a lot of people here. It looks like there are hundreds of people. They are holding iron rulers, and they seem to be the policemen of the government."

Hearing this, the manager was not calm anymore.

After all, if there are dozens of people, it's okay to say that the underlings who watch the scene are called together, and they can fight for any emergencies.

But hundreds of people are not enough to see, it is not self-deprecating, but the number advantage is the key factor in determining the outcome in my opinion, after all, it is not a battle on the battlefield.

Moreover, the people from Yingtian Mansion were obviously not looking for revenge, but most likely for gambling.

I can't handle this situation myself, so I can only continue to report it.

In the attic on the second floor, the person in charge reported everything he knew to the person in front of him.

"Second Lord, in this situation, the visitor is not kind, how to deal with it, please tell Second Master clearly?"

Before the second master in front of him could speak, another voice came from the stairs.

"Second Lord, the person in charge, the person who is here wants the person in charge to go out and ask questions, and the younger one is here to report."

At this time, the second master in front of him also wanted to ask questions, but instead became a little interested.

"Where is the official, dare to trouble us."

"Find a few people, come with me, and go out to meet him."

"Yes."

After the voice fell, several people went their own way.

The leader, Er Ye, led the stewards down the stairs slowly from the second floor.

And the brawny man who came in to report was calling for the manpower.

There was a bit of movement, and in the noisy hall, the people who were shouting and chatting nervously, waiting for their fate to make a decision, also felt that something was wrong at this time.

Some people are still immersed in the gambling industry in front of them and cannot extricate themselves.

Part of it is looking around to see what's going on.

The second master who had already walked down the stairs, looked at the gamblers who were a little bit suspicious, stopped in his tracks, and said to them with a smile in order to appease everyone.

"Continue, everyone. There is an official outside. I'll go and see if there is any official college of my elder brother. Come whenever you go. You don't have to worry about it."

This confident reassurance made the gamblers feel more at ease.

Thinking about it, the first rank of the official ranks crushes people to death, and the elder brother of the second master is a third rank, so there are not many who can crush him.

Just an official, there is nothing to be afraid of, so a group of gamblers continued to start their own gambling career.

In addition to self-confidence, Er Ye also had a shadow in his heart.

The arrival of Zheng Xiong is not a good thing for the gambling house, this kind of unstable factor has greatly affected the performance of the gambling house.

Now, Zheng Xiong can only be sent away as soon as possible, so as to show the strength of the gambling house.

After thinking about this, the second master of the Liu family went out faster.
