The old woman followed behind Ji Ning and Shangguan Wan'er, as if she could get a commission for how much money Ji Ning lost here, and even what woman Ji Ning chose, how much overnight money or reward she gave, she also had a share.

This is the guest she brought, she can naturally follow the benefits, and she is very attentive in serving tea and water behind Ji Ning, and she simply treats Ji Ning as if she were a fairy.

Ji Ning looked at the first gambling house, all of them were some simple gambling items, such as pushing pai gow and gambling dice, only a few taels of silver at a time, it didn't seem like a lot, but just this "gambling hall", there were hundreds of taels of silver in almost a day's flow, and tens of thousands of taels of silver in a year, this business can be said to be a million profits.

"Sixth Master Xie, look...... What do you like to gamble, the slave family will arrange it for you? The old woman asked after Ji Ning.

Ji Ning glanced at Shangguan Wan'er, the silver that came out before was Shangguan Wan'er's, Ji Ning didn't know where Shangguan Wan'er got the silver, what he was more concerned about now was how he could enter the deeper layers of the ancient Zhai to spy on more information.

He made a very impatient look, obviously dissatisfied with the gambling project in front of him.

Shangguan Wan'er also seemed to understand Ji Ning's intentions, and said angrily: "The dignified Eternal Ancient Zhai, just such a little thing, it is really better to meet than to meet, we have prepared tens of thousands of taels of silver, is it just to come here to see the excitement?" Let your stewards come out. ”

The two seem to be masters and servants, and even their personalities complement each other, Shangguan Wan'er and Ji Ning cooperate very well, basically what Shangguan Wan'er wants to say, Ji Ning can make corresponding attitudes, and even Shangguan Wan'er can make on-the-spot responses.

"Sixth Master Xie, don't worry, actually...... Actually, these are all simple ...... We're arranging something better for you, you wait and someone will welcome you in! The old woman had some things that were difficult to say directly, and it was obvious that now Gu Zhai couldn't fully believe that Ji Ning was Xie Liuye, and was still seeking verification, so he didn't dare to take Ji Ning inside.

Only after the verification is over, after it is confirmed that Ji Ning is indeed Xie Liuye, and Xie Liuye has not threatened Geng Gu Zhai, will he take Ji Ning in.

This is also the caution of a person with a black face, if it weren't for such caution, Gengu Zhai would have been uprooted by the people of the government a long time ago, and it would not have been left for a long time, and now it is under the protection of King Chong, and there is a tendency to develop from the dark to the open.

……

……

The old woman hurriedly went to ask about the situation, leaving Ji Ning and Shangguan Wan'er, and the two could finally say a few words without scruples.

"Looks like you know a lot about this place!" Ji Ning said, "I don't know where your silver comes from?" ”

Shangguan Wan'er said: "You mean the silver I have on hand?" Some of the silver was handed over to me by the master before, saying that he was afraid of being stolen by treacherous people, and that these silver could be used for the future prosperity of the altar, but the amount was not very large, just the outer layer, as for the inner ...... It's just that because it's dark, she doesn't see clearly! ”

Only then did Ji Ning know that Shangguan Wan'er had used fake silver to redeem the bill, which was a bit self-deceptive, he said: "You can tell me if you lack silver, why bother to forge this set?" If someone finds out, we can say that there is no return! ”

Shangguan Wan'er looked at Ji Ning, she obviously didn't want to admit the fact that Ji Ning was a rich man, in fact, she also knew that Ji Ning was worth a lot of money, with the silver that Ji Ning was carrying now, it might be tens of thousands of taels, not to mention the rest of Ji Ning's property, now Ji Ning's property is being diversified, and Ji Ning is also preparing to open a academy in the capital to develop the spirit of Sanwei Academy.

"How much else do you know about Zhou Cheng?" Ji Ning asked.

Shangguan Wan'er didn't answer this time, she even shook her head to say that she didn't know, but when she saw the old woman coming over, the old woman had a little compliment on her face, and said: "Sixth Master Xie, I just asked you, please go inside to talk, the 'beauty' you want is also ready for you......"

Ji Ning squinted his eyes and looked at the old woman, he didn't expect the audit of Gu Zhai to be so fast, but maybe this was just Gu Zhai wanting to test him further, since Xie Liuye never came to Gu Zhai, this time he came, there must be something, and it was impossible for the people of Gu Zhai to be defenseless, and even Zhou Cheng might appear in person.

"Lead the way!" Shangguan Wan'er said.

The old woman said while leading the way: "I don't know if the sixth master is dissatisfied, why don't you say much?" ”

Shangguan Wan'er said: "Don't you know that my family is a northerner, and I am not very proficient in the language of the Han people?" If you speak in the territory of the Han people, if you don't speak well, you may be suspected of being a person from Fanbang, and even a small yamen in the local area dares to be rude to the master! ”

The old woman then understood, she sighed: "That's also, those who are officials in the place, all of them are arrogant and domineering, and they dare to reach out and ask for money if they have a little power...... Uh, the sixth master can understand what the slave family said, right? ”

Because Shangguan Wan'er said that Xie Liuye was not very proficient in Chinese, the old woman was worried about whether Ji Ning could understand the nonsense she said.

Shangguan Wan'er said coldly: "We are in charge, and it is no problem to listen to the language of your Han people, and we can speak it, but we don't want to say it!" ”

Saying that, the three of them had already passed through a side hall, all the way to a small door, and entered it, before they could get in, but they saw two maids coming out, each carrying a lantern, these two maids alone were already very beautiful, but Ji Ning didn't want to look at these two maids at all, since this Xie Liuye likes an old woman with charm, he naturally has to make a corresponding appearance, if he sees a woman and shows the appearance of a pig brother, then everyone will doubt his identity.

"Sixth Master Xie, our head of the house has been waiting inside for a long time......" the old woman said.

Ji Ning was thinking in his heart, could it be that Zhou Cheng came to see Sixth Master Xie in person? If you see Zhou Cheng, if the two of them know each other, things may be directly helped, but if you don't go in now, it shows that you are a thief.

Shangguan Wan'er said: "Which of you is in charge?" ”

"It's our four masters......," said the old woman.

Only then did Ji Ning know that there were many people in the power system in the ancient Zhai, and Zhou Cheng, a figure who belonged to the first layer, would not come out to meet guests easily, especially in a place like the Ancient Zhai, Zhou Cheng would only attend big occasions like meeting the scholars and students of the Confucian Temple, and he would look very face-saving.
