Siheyuan, my new life

Several thugs from the casino were mixed in with the gamblers. When they noticed that there were only a dozen soldiers rushing in, they whispered a few words, then hid behind others and shouted loudly: "Everyone run out together, the soldiers dare not shoot."

At this time, there were at least hundreds of gamblers who ran into the yard from the east and west wing rooms and the main house in the front yard. After hearing the shouting of a few thugs and looking at the dozen or so soldiers in front of them, many gamblers immediately became restless.

The platoon leader noticed that a riot was about to happen, so he raised his gun and pulled the trigger towards the sky. With a crisp gunshot and the solemn orders from the soldiers, the gamblers present suddenly came to their senses. They only came here to gamble, and they had not committed any serious crimes such as murder or arson. Even if they were caught, they could only consider themselves unlucky and lose a little money. Why bother running away and risking being shot?

So most of these gamblers obediently followed the soldiers' instructions, raised their hands and slowly squatted down. There were also a few guys with wandering eyes, obviously trying to find a chance to escape.

As the second group of soldiers and people from relevant departments rushed into the compound, the gamblers and casino thugs at the scene became completely obedient. Especially when the sharp-eyed people noticed that even the walls on both sides had fully armed soldiers, all these guys became even more desperate.

According to the confession of the six arrested casino thugs, Pai Gow was played in the east and west wing rooms in the front yard, while dice were played in the main room. There were two gambling tables in each room, one of which was banked by someone from the casino, while the other was banked by the gamblers themselves who had deep pockets.

Gamblers do not need to pay extra money to gamble at a table where the casino is the banker, they just need to place their own bets; as for the tables where the gamblers are the bankers, there will be casino staff nearby to "take the money", that is, they will take one tenth of the money on the table for every bet.

In each room, there is a woman holding a sealed cardboard box in her hand, who is responsible for collecting money. She is followed by two casino thugs, who are responsible for maintaining order on the scene and supervising the collection of money. Every time, the woman will stuff one-tenth of the cash on the gambling table directly into a small hole on the cardboard box, and then go to the back to give the account to the shopkeeper after the gambling game is over.

According to Brother Kun's rules, these casino thugs and the women who collect money will receive a share of the "commission" every day.

Mahjong is arranged in the backyard of the casino. There are two tables in the east and west wing rooms, and two tables in the main room. However, if you want to play mahjong in the main room, you must check the gambler's money in advance. If you don't have more than 200 yuan, you'd better play in the east and west wing rooms, because the minimum bet for mahjong in the main room is two yuan.

In the east and west wing rooms in the backyard, there are also women who specialize in "collecting money" and thugs who maintain order. In addition to these people, there are also many young and beautiful women in the main room for gamblers to choose from. These women will accompany the gamblers, serve tea, water, light cigarettes and wait on the game.

The noise in the front yard also alarmed the gamblers in the backyard. Especially after hearing the gunshots, these gamblers and the people in the casino rushed out and ran towards a small door at the back. Unfortunately, they were still greeted by the black muzzle of a gun.

At this time, the father and son of the Fan family who were selecting antiques in the underground secret room heard the faint sound of gunfire. They did not bother to select anything anymore. They quickly dropped the antiques in their hands and walked quickly outside. They wanted to know what was going on. Although Brother Kun also equipped his thugs with several Mauser pistols, he repeatedly emphasized that they should never shoot unless it was absolutely necessary. In general emergencies, they should try to use sticks and machetes. There would often be gamblers who had lost all their money and caused trouble in the casino. Such people would usually be beaten up with sticks and then dealt with further.

This is the first time that gunshots have been heard since the opening of the Dafa Casino. Even with Fan Kun's connections, it would be quite troublesome to deal with if someone fired a gun.

Until this point, the father and son of the Fan family had not thought about catching gamblers, because of their relationship with Deputy Director Liang, who was in charge of public security at the Municipal Bureau, as long as the public security brigade received a report and prepared for a surprise inspection, they would notify the casino in advance. After all, Deputy Director Liang took a lot of money from the Dafa Casino every year.

When Fan Kun was the first to come out of the cave, he was stunned. In front of him were six or seven fully armed soldiers, with the black muzzles of their guns pointed at his body.

Although Fan Kun usually seemed to be arrogant and domineering, when faced with so many spears, he was immediately frightened and stood there at a loss as to what to do.

Deputy Secretary Fan, who was following closely behind, saw his son standing motionless at the entrance of the cave and could not help but urge him: "Hurry up, what are you dawdling for?" As he spoke, he pushed his son on the back.

Fan Kun was already weak all over and had no strength at all. After being pushed by his father, he staggered forward two steps and almost bumped into the soldiers' guns.

Pushing his son's body aside, Deputy Secretary Fan also appeared at the entrance of the cave. Seeing the scene in front of him, he opened his mouth in disbelief. How could a soldier appear here? Deputy Secretary Fan's head was buzzing. Since he became the first deputy secretary, because the top leader, Secretary Chai, had a relatively gentle personality and always respected the team members, this also made the more powerful Deputy Secretary Fan develop the habit of having his say and even being a little domineering.

Over the years, leaders at all levels in Tianjin have come to understand Deputy Secretary Fan's style of doing things, so most people avoid this first deputy secretary.

Deputy Secretary Fan had never expected that such a scene would happen in this small area of ​​Tianjin. He asked in doubt: "Which unit are you from? Who allowed you to interfere in local affairs?"

"Hahahaha, Deputy Secretary Fan is indeed quite powerful. He still dares to speak so arrogantly at this time." As he spoke, a dignified man in his forties wearing a gray Zhongshan suit walked through the soldiers and came to the opposite side of Deputy Secretary Fan. He sneered and said, "Maybe Deputy Secretary Fan doesn't know me yet. Let me introduce myself. I am Fang Zhiyong, deputy head of the investigation team of the Beijing headquarters of the relevant department. Our Deputy Minister Yan is waiting for you, Deputy Secretary Fan, in the relevant department of Tianjin."

After Fang Zhiyong finished speaking, he waved his hand. The four staff members from the relevant departments who followed him came forward and handcuffed the father and son of the Fan family and dragged them aside.

Fang Zhiyong led several staff members into the cave entrance holding flashlights.

This time, Deputy Minister Yan asked for help from the headquarters in Beijing, and with the approval of his superiors, he mobilized a company of troops stationed in Tianjin to participate in the capture operation.
