Volume XVI Han and Tang Dynasty Chapter 1497 A copper plate
Does Momiji still have a younger brother?
The people present were all stunned when they heard Ximen Yufeng's words. Among all the people here, the last person who knew Momiji has been more than ten years now, and they have always thought that Momiji is the only daughter in the family, and they have never heard of her having a younger brother, and they have something to do with 'gambling'. Even Hu Wei didn't hear from Red Leaf about what younger brother she had.
Ximen Yufeng saw that everyone's eyes were staring at him, shook his head and said, "Actually, I haven't seen Hongye's younger brother either, that's when I was very young, I overheard adults mention it."
Through Guò Ximen Yufeng's narration, everyone understood what was happening. It turns out that Momiji used to have a younger brother, and they have the same father but not the same mother.
Brother Hongye's mother is a partial house, and Ximen Yufeng doesn't know what she looks like, but she knows that she is a woman who likes to gamble very much, and when she is addicted to gambling, she really dares to bet on anything on the gambling table.
Once, the woman went out to gamble again, and after losing all the money on her body, not only did she not go home, but she frantically bet her son, that is, Momiji's younger brother, on the gambling table, and the final result was naturally losing.
If it was just an ordinary loss, she could still go back and get the money to redeem her son, but that time she lost the child to an enemy of Momiji's father, and that enemy had no humanity with him, so he actually put Momiji's younger brother in the pot in front of everyone in the casino. At that time, Momiji was only five or six years old, and she happened to pass by the casino and saw it with her own eyes.
She cried and shouted to save her brother, but she didn't succeed and could only watch her brother being cooked alive......
When Ximen Yufeng said these things again, his tone was very calm, as if he was really telling a story, but everyone listening to it on the side was terrified. Although they didn't see it with their own eyes, they can imagine Momiji who was only five or six years old. How frightened and helpless I felt when I experienced this firsthand.
"It's no wonder that every time Momiji knows that I've been to a casino, his expression is always weird. Hu Wei sighed. Momiji's aversion to gambling is well documented, but he never knew that such a thing had happened to Momiji's body before.
"So what should we do now, should we continue to watch the casino?" Because this is not only her idea, but also the only way to help Hu Wei raise money in a short period of time so far. There is no business in the world that makes money faster than gambling, and the dice shake and roll their eyes. The ownership of money is changed instantly, this is the charm of gambling, but also the nature of people, no matter how many years pass, the gambling industry will never be eliminated.
Jebe's words made everyone's attention turn to Hu Wei, who is not only the head of a country, but also the head of a family. Now it's family affairs and state affairs, all mixed together. Whether this casino continues to watch, the final decision is still on Hu Wei's body.
Hu Wei faced everyone's gaze and nodded affirmatively: "There is no other way for us to do it, the casino must be opened......
"But what about Sister Momiji?" asked everyone.
Hu Wei said: "If she is there, just leave it to me." ”
"I didn't eat lunch, I didn't eat dinner. I must be hungry. Hu Wei came to Hongye's side with a food plate and said, "Beef noodles." I made it myself, help me try my craft?"
Momiji's eyes are red. It's obvious that I've cried, and it's not a short time.
"I don't have any taste, you can eat it yourself. The hoarse voice means that the master's voice is not in a very good state, but fortunately it is quiet all around, otherwise it is really difficult to hear what she is saying. ...,
Hu Wei sighed and said, "Your matter, Yufeng has already sued me." It's really a bad memory, and I can understand your feelings, but if I don't open the casino, he will still save zài, Momiji, do you believe me?"
Hongye looked at Hu Wei puzzled, she didn't quite understand what Hu Wei meant. Speaking of believing, of course she believes in Hu Wei, from the day she first met Hu Wei, no matter what others say about Hu Wei, in her heart, Hu Wei is the best.
Hu Wei continued: "I said that I would open a casino with a conscience, and in my casino, I would not allow any family to be ruined or my wife to be separated. Do you believe I can do it?"
"I ......" Momiji didn't nod directly, she didn't believe in Hu Wei, but to open a conscientious casino, where is it so easy. Casinos, like battlefields, are ruthless, and gamblers who gamble on red eyes, like soldiers who kill red eyes, often can't even take care of their own lives, where will they take care of their families.
Back then, my mother could even bet on her own son at the table, and what would not happen. Momiji really didn't dare to think about it, and he didn't want to be involved in such a miserable situation.
"I will contact the people called the Flower Gang, and a large number of dispatched personnel to collect information on all aspects, but anyone who loses more than a certain range will not be allowed to enter the casino again. You can't gamble anymore, and there won't be a tragedy. ”
Hu Wei said his own idea, yes, it was just an idea. In this regard, it is clear that we can only do our best, and it is impossible to really find out the financial situation of other people's families. Some people seem to have no money, but in fact they are very rich, and some people seem to be rich, but in fact they have no money, this aspect is not clear, except for the person concerned, it is really difficult for others to know.
No matter what you say, it's good for Hu Wei to have that heart. As he said, he doesn't open a casino, the casino is still doing the same, there are still so many gamblers, and Hu Wei can't guarantee that his casino will not have a bad situation, but he has that heart, at least he can use it better than others.
Momiji was silent for a long time before he spoke: "I know, you opened a casino for an artificial river, and the construction of the artificial river cannot be stopped, okay, I have no objection to you opening a casino, but you have to promise me a few requests." ”
"Okay, you say, if you can do it. I promise you. ”
"You can't gamble on anything other than money, you can't add other casinos in Greentown!"
"That's what Momiji-sama said?" said Tetsube in surprise. Hu Wei can convince Momiji, she will never doubt it, but Hu Wei brought back the conditions. So that she didn't understand very well. What do you mean by 'no other casinos can be added in Greentown'?
If you don't increase the casino, how can you open a casino?
This is a difficult problem for the red leaves to Hu Wei, and Hu Wei understands the meaning of the red leaves. Didn't he say that it would be better for him to open the casino than anyone else? Then take the casinos that other people have opened, instead of opening new ones. Now there are as many casinos in Greentown as there are, and you can't add another one, and you can't add one.
"This, can it work?" Ouyang Hanbing frowned. Although she hasn't been in Greentown for several years, she knows very well what Greentown's situation is. The people who can open casinos are not ordinary people, and the same is true in Greentown.
Greentown's casinos have all been in the hands of those old-school forces several times, and casinos are the source of their wealth. Hu Wei stationed in Greentown, which had a certain impact on the old forces, but because Hu Wei did not cut off their financial route. They are hindered by the power of Hu Wei. I don't dare to go against Hu Wei. But Hu Wei stretched out and grabbed the casino in their hands, cutting off people's money is killing their parents, how can they sit idly by?...,
Hu Wei groaned: "Actually, it's not wrong for Red Leaf to make such a request. I had this idea in mind from the beginning. We are not familiar with casinos, and the newly opened casinos may not have gamblers, and the old casinos can be brought over in the shortest possible time. Let's get a qiē all on track, it's for us. There is nothing bad about it. ”
Hu Wei's words have an element of helping red leaves, but he also has his own ideas. And the truth is exactly what he said. Casinos need atmosphere, Greentown's casinos have been stored for a long time, and those gamblers are already very accustomed to what casinos they like to go to, and the newly opened casinos may not make them curious.
Gambling is very attractive, and the gambling itself is not much different. Regardless of the type of betting, if you put aside the money, you won't have any interest in playing three times. Compared to dice, there are eighteen points in a lifetime, no matter how you shake it, you can't escape these eighteen changes, if you don't have a relationship with money, will you think it's interesting?
The newly opened casino will not have any more tricks than the introduction of the casino, and people who are familiar with gambling will not necessarily come to play.
Besides, the old school forces have been in Greentown for so many years, and which one is the one in terms of gambling has already been divided.
Ouyang Hanbing said: "Since you have already decided, then do as you say." I will give you my full support. ”
"Thank you, Bing'er. I know that opening a casino can be a lot of pressure for you. I promise you, my casino must be a casino with a conscience. ”
After Ouyang Hanbing left, only Zhebei was left by Hu You's side, and Hu Wei said to Zhebei: "Send someone to check immediately, I want to know which casino is which force, who among them has the most right to speak, and in addition, find a way to see if I can find a few masters in gambling!"
"It's really scary here," Qi Qi wiped the sweat from his head and wondered, "Is there really any treasure here?"
After a few days of hard work, the treasure hunting team led by Qi Qi, Hou Baowu and Tang Hun finally came to the place marked on the treasure map.
It was a very large house, surrounded by trees or rocks, and the original direction of the house was already dilapidated, not to mention the people, even the ghosts did not like to live in this kind of place.
Hou Baowu also gasped when he saw the room in front of him, he couldn't figure it out before, there was still a room in Chow Tai Fook's house here, he didn't know why, but now when he saw this house, he understood it. There is really no need to know that such a house is preserved.
Tang Hun had the most difficult growth experience among the three, Qi Qi and Hou Baowu did not suffer much, while he was almost hovering on the edge of life and death, and he has lived until now. It's not a lot of effort, but it's about resilience. Qi Qi and Hou Baowu couldn't compare to him.
While Qi Qi and Hou Baowu were complaining about the ruins of this place, Tang Hun was observing the surrounding Yiqiē. Backed by mountains and facing water, surrounded by trees. There is a pond in the house, although I don't know why the Zhou family chose such a place to build such a big house, but it is certain that it was built here in the first place. They put a lot of thought into it. The expenditure of money alone is not a decimal number, and although it is empty here, it does not necessarily mean that there is nothing.
"Let's go first and have a look!" Tang Hun's voice seemed a little loud in this quiet space, and several small birds were so frightened that they rushed straight up to the clouds.
Qi Qi and Hou Baowu glanced at each other and nodded cautiously. No matter what they imagined the room to be, now that they were here, they had no intention of going back like that without checking anything. ...,
"I'll lead the way. Hou Baowu took a deep breath and took the initiative to say. Tang Hun has no kung fu, and Qi Qi's identity is Hu Wei's son, and after all, only he is the most suitable for doing such a job.
Although there is some hair in his heart, Hou Baowu is a man. He had to put himself in his place. Know what you need to do.
"I'll do it anyway. Tang Hun pulled Hou Baowu by the hand. What the situation was like in the house, they didn't know anything about it now. Hou Baowu had no experience at all in this area, so Tang Hun was not so relieved to let him walk in front.
Hou Baowu wanted to object, but was stopped by Qi Qi. To be honest, Hou Baowu is still too far away from Hou San, let him walk ahead. Qi Qi is not so relieved, although Tang Hun has no kung fu. But he is much more stable than Hou Baowu, let him walk ahead. Qi Qi will feel better.
The three of them simply reached a consensus, Tang Hun walked at the front, Qi Qi in the play and Hou Baowu walked at the end. The big house didn't look too far away from a distance, but it took Tang Hun and the three of them half an hour to come to the front of the big house. A large part of the wall by the gate has collapsed, but the mahogany gate is very strong, and it will not fall down if it stands like this for another hundred years.
"The door is locked, do we have the key?" When Hou Baowu approached the area of the big house, he faintly felt a cool air behind him, which made his brain a little knotted.
Qi Qi scolded: "Are you a little promising, isn't the door locked and the wall collapsed, let's just go in from the wall!"
The big house of the Zhou family is already very big from a distance, and it is even bigger when you are in the house. Looking at it, this place used to be carved beams and paintings, magnificent, and it was not as dilapidated as it is now at the beginning.
Tang Hun said to Hou Baowu and Qi Qi: "There are no other hints here for the treasure map, we have to find it little by little on our own." ”
Qi Qi gritted his teeth and said, "Although it is conceivable that in the next few days, it will be difficult for us to be too heavy, but no matter how difficult it is, we will find out the treasure." The artificial river needs the support of this money, and the whole Greentown, the whole world, is watching us!"
Hou Baowu smiled bitterly: "It's not that exaggerated, it makes us look like saviors." In the current situation, we should do our best and obey people's orders, if there is nothing here, no matter how hard we try, we will not gain anything!"
Qi Qi said dissatisfiedly: "Xiao Wuzi, how can you be so unconfident. ”
"It's not that I don't have faith, it's that in such a hellish place, I really can't raise my faith. ”
Tang Hun interrupted the dispute between the two and said, "You two don't quarrel. Whether there is anything here or not, since we have come here, we cannot go in vain. Even if we don't find anything, we have to be worthy of it. ”
Tang Hun's words made Qi Qi and Hou Baowu both nod in agreement, it was so difficult to come here, no one wanted to go in vain. Hard work may not be rewarded, but if you don't work hard, you will definitely not be rewarded. Regardless of whether there is a gain in the end, at least when you leave, you can touch your heart and say that you have not come in vain.
Treasure hunting is like this, and so is life. Every human being is doomed to death from the day he is born. But you can't spend your life waiting for death on the spot, and at the last moment of leaving this world, you can say to yourself with a clear conscience that not living in vain is the best comfort to yourself.
Tang Hun and the three of them did not separate, they first spent half a day walking through the entire big house, and then divided the big house into dozens of small parts, in order of the most likely to the least likely. Little by little, I look for it slowly.
The first place they looked for was the study, where there were no more books, but the shelves were still there. It can be seen that there were many books in those years. ...,
Tang Hun said: "I have stayed in a big family. Knowing that they have always attached great importance to the study, maybe the secret is hidden here. Let's take a look at the tables, chairs, and floors, and then move the bookshelves out of the way. ”
There is no need to elect, Tang Hun naturally became the head of the three. Only Tang Hun is very suitable for being a conductor. Hou Baowu is too frizzy, Qi Qi has relatively little experience, so it is natural to listen to Tang Hun.
"This bookshelf can't be moved, could it be here?" Hou Baowu's voice was full of excitement. The previous bookshelves could be moved lightly, but this one can't be moved.
Qi Qi glanced this way. Said: "There is a beam on the top of the bookshelf, you push back some before moving, otherwise you will be stuck, how can you move." ”
"Damn, I'll find out later!" Hou Baowu successfully moved the bookshelf according to Yaya's words, but unfortunately there was nothing behind it except the wall.
"Don't worry, let's take our time. ”
Jebe's efficiency is still very high. It only took one day. I found out the attribution forces behind the major casinos in Greentown. Of course, the most helpful in this regard is still called the Flower Gang, they are the head snakes here, and they don't need to check many things, they already know in advance.
"The big and small casinos in Greentown are controlled by ten families, the largest of which is the Zhang family, and the head of the Zhang family is Zhang Fengxiang. The former director of foreign affairs in Ningnan no longer has an official position. However, the Zhang family has been an official for five generations, and the relationship with the old forces is very close. It has a lot of say in Greentown. ”
Hu Wei nodded and said, "This is all Zhang Fengxiang, who is usually like himself?"
Jebe said with a strange face: "I sent people to check the information in this regard, and they all said that this Zhang Fengxiang is a great good, and from time to time he will open a porridge factory to help the people, but I don't see it that way." ”
"Oh?" Hu Wei became interested, and now Jebel had learned to judge for himself. He wanted to hear what Jebel had to say.
Zhebei said: "The people who say that Zhang Fengxiang is good are basically some ordinary people, but in the Zhang family's subordinates, they can't hear a word of goodness, although they don't say anything bad about Zhang Fengxiang, but most of the expressions on their faces are very indifferent. ”
Hu Wei noticed that Jebel used the word indifference, and the subordinates would be indifferent to the master, and this alone was very revealing. If they really have a good master, then when it comes to the master, their appearance should be pride, not indifference.
There is an element of disdain in indifference, which shows that they do not agree with the master. And this disagreement should have nothing to do with opening a casino, and if you think about it, it should be because of some factor, so that the next person has no love for the owner.
What could it be?
Hu Wei didn't care about this aspect, all he had to do was to snatch the casino from Zhang Fengxiang's hands, and the actual matter had nothing to do with it.
"What about the gambling masters, have you found a suitable one?" asked another question. His own gambling skills are not bad, because with the help of clairvoyance, he can easily see through other people's hole cards, coupled with his strong mental power, he can do things that others can't imagine, such as changing the number of dice.
Jebe said with a smile on his face: "I can't find a suitable person in this area for the time being. ”
Hu Wei smiled and said: "It's hard to find talents in this area, take your time, sometimes you need some luck." Zhang Fengxiang's casino should be called Fengxiang Casino, you can prepare it and accompany me to see it tomorrow. ”
"Do you want to go directly to see Zhang Fengxiang?"
"You don't need that, I'll let Zhang Feng come to me by himself!"
Wind Direction Casino is one of the largest casinos in Greentown, Hu Wei has not come here to gamble, he will know that this is because of Hou San, Hou San has lost a lot of money here.
At that time, Hou San had not yet caught up with Ou Yueyue, and the artificial strength given by the Immortal Bird Legion was high, and Hou San couldn't stay still with a few small amounts of money on him, and he liked to gamble two times he went to a place. That time, he didn't know what medicine he had taken wrong, and he almost lost his underwear, but in the end, Hu Wei sent someone to take him back. ...,
As soon as Hu Wei heard Zhang Fengxiang's name, he knew that the Fengxiang Casino must have been opened by him. Casinos generally open in the afternoon, and the opening hours are slightly earlier than those of the Qinglou, and the hours are longer.
Hu Wei and Zhebei came here after dinner, because the casino, like the Qinglou, has a better business after dinner, and Hu Wei just wants to choose to come when there are the most people.
"Young master, what do you want to gamble on?" Jebel rarely comes to the casino to play, and the few times she has been here are with Hu Wei, she knows that Hu Wei's gambling skills are very harmful.
In fact, in Jebe's heart, Hu Wei is very harmful in every aspect, and it is simply God's constant existence. In the hearts of many soldiers, Hu Wei was also once a god, but the disaster of Langtian made Hu Wu be pulled down from the throne, and it was precisely because of the high hope for Hu Wei that they hated Hu Wei so much when Hu Wei made a mistake. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
Unlike the soldiers, Jebe has never been disappointed in Hu Wei, even if Hu Wei has been wrong, but God can be wrong, right?
"Let's play dice, I've been using my brain a lot these days, and I don't want to use my brain anymore. ”
The dice table is already crowded with people, gamblers like to play dice not only because the dice are fast, but most importantly, it is exciting enough, a game is opened, either big or small, there is no bet that is wrong, there are not too many choices, and they don't need so many choices.
"Let me go, my young master is going to sit here. Jebel was very polite to his family, but he was not very polite to the people outside, almost dragging him and grabbing a seat for Hu Wei. The person who was pulled aside by Jebel didn't dare to speak out when he saw that Hu Wei was dressed brightly, and there were many people who came to the casino standing, and those who could sit were relatively big gamblers, and they had already gotten used to it.
Hu Wei sat down at the table, leisurely as if he was watching a play, completely different from other nervous gamblers.
"Come, bet a lot of money, bet a little and lose less, don't bet on no loss, you want to buy it quickly, and you can leave your hand if you buy it." ”
"This one must be big, I'll bet big. ”
"Cut, the top is big, this time it must be small. ”
Within a minute, the table was full of bets, both big and small.
The dealer was not in a hurry, but turned his gaze to Hu Wei's body, and said with a smile: "This son, which door are you betting on?"
Hu Wei turned to Zhebei and whispered something, Zhebei took out a copper plate and handed it to Hu Wei with a puzzled face, Hu Wei threw the copper plate in his hand, gently put it on the gambling table, and said, "I'll bet on Xiao...... One...... Copper plate!" (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to (.) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. )
