Why does King Zhenbei always bully me?

Just now when he came in, he didn't get a good look at the place, and after turning a few corners from Wen Qingfeng's wing, he came to a game where he said he couldn't win or lose.

It is different from other gambling houses, this one is covered with red gauze curtains, and the people serving tea and wine are all beauties of all colors, not to mention their clothes, and they have the best faces.Su Qinghe looked back at Wen Qingfeng, it was hard to find brothels, but he found them.

Even gambling is full of enthusiasm, and I really enjoy it.

Su Qinghe went over, and the beautiful woman holding the gold followed behind him, and they all said that the money should not leak out, let alone in the gambling house.It was just now that the game was in full swing, and there was no vacant table, when Su Qinghe came, the discerning person hurriedly gave up one for him.

"Young master, I haven't seen you before. This is the first time?" The bearded man skillfully tossed the sieve and looked at Su Qinghe who was sitting down.Rich and powerful, just look at the eyes,

"It's the first time." Su Qinghe shifted his gaze to the dominoes on the square table, but he wouldn't.

"Boss Wen, it's my son's first time playing, will those people play tricks and bully him?" Tang Chun was a little worried, it was a thousand gold, it was a waste...

Wen Qingfeng shook his head: "I'm a decent gambling house, it's all about luck." He moved a chair and sat beside Su Qinghe without seeing it.

"Ouyou," the bearded man grinned from ear to ear, "Boss Wen's people, who am I? Since that's the case, I won't talk about the rules, and just start."

Four people sit together, make bets, and the bearded man rolls the dice to deal the cards.

Looking at the four dominoes in front of him, Su Qinghe asked Wen Qingfeng sideways, "Compare the size?"

"I won't still sit on it. You really are a coward." Wen Qingfeng didn't answer him in a hurry, but stared at him.Su Qinghe didn't bother to pay attention to him, and turned his head to watch how others were playing.

Watching other people remake, two groups of four cards, big against big, small against small, imitating their appearance and spreading out the cards.Comparing the size with the dealer one by one, Su Qinghe bet [-], and now he won [-] back.

It was such a game.

"A quick learner."

Wen Qingfeng was still looking at him, Tang Chun, not to be outdone, moved a chair closer to Su Qinghe's other side, not forgetting to forcibly move Su Qinghe's chair to his side.

The second master is not here, so he has to watch him closely.

Su Qinghe was also absent-minded after figuring out the rules and playing the game. He didn't care about that, he just thought it would be over soon.Anyway, the money wasn't his, so it didn't hurt to lose. In half an hour, most of the gold in the tray was gone.

Even so, Su Qinghe was still tired from playing, and he beat his arms to get up after a round.

The bearded man smiled and said, "Boss Wen, why don't you teach him how to do it, he's getting tired of losing, hahaha..."

"What's the matter?" Wen Qingfeng asked him interestingly, "If you don't feel satisfied, I'll lend you another thousand."

Su Qinghe shook his head, "If you don't borrow it, you won't be able to afford food. In Yuan'an City, a meal is very expensive."

The bearded man answered, "Isn't there Boss Wen here? He can make you hungry?"

Another person answered, "You didn't understand when you came here. The water in Yuan'an's official house is muddy. Boss Wen knows it best. Let him tell you a story at night."

Only then did Su Qinghe turn his attention to Wen Qingfeng. If he had known that this person knew a lot, what would he be wasting the money for? It would be great to save it as a betrothal gift for Huo Chiyuan.

"Drunkards don't care about drinking," Wen Qingfeng said, "I've noticed since the details are listed in restaurants."

Su Qing and Wen Ruo didn't hear about it, and got up to leave, but said after being stopped: "1000 taels of winning and losing, what's the matter? Boss Wen won't leave the table?"

"No, I'm taking you to another place."

Su Qinghe was suspicious, so he went into a secret compartment with him on guard, and heard him say: "The little beauty must have come to investigate the case of Yuan Anyan, the news has been tense recently, if you open your mouth and ask, you will definitely not be able to find out the truth. For the sake of your good looks, I will help you."

"How can I help?" Su Qinghe observed the dark room, it was really a place where the walls were hidden, without even a chair, and the only light came from the afterglow that leaked through the gap.

Before Wen Qingfeng could answer, there was a voice from outside.

"Think about it, this is a good job. The salt station changes every year. If you miss this village, you won't have this shop."

The man pulled back the chair and sat down, and poured a cup of tea.

Another person came in afterward, and said unwillingly, "1 taels a salt worker, do you think I'm worth it? Besides, the officials from Cangqing came to investigate so closely, maybe they will be killed."

"Hey," the man disagreed, "I've checked the enthusiasm, who cares, you don't know what's going on, and there are many inspectors who come to Yuan'an at the beginning of each year. When did something happen?"

The person who bought the official was a little moved, and asked again: "Then tell me, when will I get back the 1 taels I invested?"

The man gave him a slap with five fingers, and said firmly: "Half a year, half a year later will be net profit, it's a short-term job and you can't afford big risks, and the second half year will be enough for you to make a fortune!"

In the dark pavilion, Su Qinghe couldn't help but frown. He got 1 taels of book within half a year, so the salt tax and salt price in Yuan'an was so outrageous.

"You just said that Cang Qinglai has an inspection team coming every year, why don't you ignore it? Are you trying to trick me into taking advantage of me?"

The man squinted at him and said kindly: "It's not about money? You are just a small salt worker. If something happens, you will suffer first. The inspection team will naturally be supported by the people above. What are you afraid of? You don't care about this business." There are a lot of people behind, if it wasn’t for seeing your aunt and my second uncle get along well, I wouldn’t be here with you.”

Hearing that the man was really out of ink, he agreed to take the job, and the two of them went out of the wing room one after the other to get money from the bank.

Wen Qingfeng walked out of the dark pavilion first, took a clean cup and poured a cup of hot tea for Su Qinghe who came from behind, and pushed it in front of him, "How, do you hear anything?"

Su Qinghe nodded, and asked: "Since you know the purpose of my coming here, and you still help me, aren't you afraid that I will take you, a gambling house that secretly buys and sells official positions?"

Wen Qingfeng said: "Su Qinghe, eighteen years old, from Huaiyang. He currently lives in Cangqing, the capital city, and the official is from the third rank to command Tongzhi. There are five people in his family..."

"Wait," Su Qinghe said bluntly, "Are you checking me?"

"So what?" Wen Qingfeng disagreed, "I like to be innocent, because I like to investigate a person, and I am also innocent."

Su Qinghe snorted coldly, and said, "It's useless to talk nonsense, if you say more about what I want to hear, even though Boss Wen is a bit more frivolous, it's not impossible to be friends."

"Little beauty, this is my territory, you really are not afraid of me," Wen Qingfeng paused, "Use force?" His eyes wandered unscrupulously on Su Qinghe, and he almost took off his clothes, like a robber Have a good time.

Su Qinghe squeezed the short dagger tightly with his hands hidden in his sleeves, and said with a smile: "If Boss Wen sincerely wants to use force, he won't talk so much nonsense with me."

"You're right," Wen Qingfeng leaned closer to him, "Wen has always been fond of love and love, and I'm willing to pay attention to your love. Those who come to my bed, regardless of men and women, want to linger, why? Little beauty is different from me. Try it. If you don't try, how will you know if you like it?" dislike?"

Su Qinghe closed his eyes, stood up, except for Huo Chiyuan, he couldn't listen to other people saying such foul language to him, so he said immediately: "It seems that Boss Wen has no intention of making friends, so leave."

Su Qinghe pushed open the door, and Tang Chun stood guard at the door, and the two left the gambling house smoothly all the way, Wen Qingfeng did not refuse, which was unexpected.

Going straight back to the inn, Su Qinghe recounted the news he had heard in the secret cabinet, and said, "You pretend to be a farmer in the countryside and buy a catty of salt tomorrow, and this case will be closed."

Tang Chun was surprised and said: "Master, this is too casual."

"The officials from the Ministry of Punishment who came with us had an affair with the local officials in Yuan'an. Although you and I are unannounced visits, there must be quite a few people who follow us secretly. It is almost impossible to really find out anything." Su Qinghe said: "We What they see is what they want us to see."

"Then I'll be more careful when I go tomorrow," Tang Chun said, "Boss Wen, the subordinates think it's better not to get in touch with him anymore. To be able to open such a big gambling house, there must be other identities behind him."

Su Qinghe nodded, and took out the detailed account obtained in the restaurant, "The emperor only needs a trigger for a thorough investigation, and this detailed account is enough, but it is hard for the people of Yuan'an."

"According to what the master said, it must be the Snakes and Rats' Nest of Criminals who were the first to clean up. It is still necessary to get conclusive evidence to trace the root cause. Not only must I be careful tomorrow, but I have to go earlier."

Tang Chun said it was early, it was really early.Before the fifth watch came, he had already returned to the inn. Su Qinghe hadn't woken up yet, so he was blindfolded on the couch for a while, without letting him serve him, so he put on his clothes and sat down.

Tang Chun put the pile of salt he bought on the table, and said, "I went early, and I met the old man who sold vegetables in the country. He heard that I bought salt and pointed it out to me."

At first, the old man heard that Tang Chun was going to the salt shop to buy it, but he hated it and said he didn't know how to live.Tang Chun realized that something was wrong, and said that it was the first time he went out to buy. In the past, his daughter-in-law bought them, and he fell ill and lay down at home...

Tang Chun pointed to the two packs of identical sea salt on the table, and said, "This small bag was bought by a hawker, and it costs thirty yuan for half a catty. The official price of the store is 25 yuan. The advantage of private salt is that you don't have to pay salt tax. It's cheaper than official salt." Salt is cheap."

"In this way, there is no need to waste time dealing with the Yuan'an government." Su Qinghe grabbed a handful of salt and rubbed it.

Originally, he thought about reselling private salt, and personally committed crimes to cover up the government, but now it seems that this is not the case. Yuan An relied on not being under the emperor's feet, and he was completely corrupt inside and out.

The government lured the people to buy private salt in disguise. In this way, if they did not buy official salt and did not pay salt tax, they could still get a fortune from the salt dealers.

After noon, Su Qing and the people who went to the Yuan'an magistrate's mansion and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs met. They didn't say anything about what they found out, so they wandered around for three days accompanied by the Yuan'an magistrate and returned to Cangqing.

Before leaving, that Boss Wen disappeared for three days and reappeared inexplicably.He didn't hold his sword today, he stood at the other end of the pier and approached slowly, Tang Chun hurriedly guarded Su Qinghe in front of him.

"Boss Wen, what are you going to do?"

Wen Qingfeng was unhappy, "What are you doing in the way, can't I say goodbye to the little beauty? If you have to be strong, you won't be able to leave my casino that night!"

The wind at the pier was quite strong, and Su Qinghe felt cold. He didn't want to listen to his nonsense at first, but after thinking about it, he was afraid that this person would follow him, so he patiently waited for him to speak in the wind.

Wen Qingfeng plucked some wild flowers from somewhere, stuffed them into Su Qinghe's hands, and said to himself: "Little beauty, I've thought about it these past few days, a twisted melon is not sweet, but if it's not twisted, it will be someone else's." , so I have to twist."

Su Qinghe glanced at the wild flowers in his hands that had been ravaged by the cold wind, threw them to Tang Chun, frowned, and said, "What does Boss Wen mean, Mr. Su already has a family, I hope Boss Wen can find another good relationship."

"No," Wen Qingfeng said rascally: "I came here just to tell you, so that you have an idea in mind, don't forget me. So what if you have a family, you can get married and divorce, even if you have children, we I don't mind being a stepfather either!"

Tang Chun threw the wild flowers into the sea, and he had a terrible headache. He reminded: "Boss Wen, please be careful with your words!"

Su Qinghe turned around and boarded the boat directly, as expected he had nothing to say to this man.
