Chapter 122: Gambling House.

A group of people walked on the aerial corridor connecting the front and back buildings of Hongxiu Tower, and Hong Xiangyu was leading the way.

He gestured with his hands and said, "That was just the business of the brothel, and the one in the back is the casino in the building."

"The sum of these two parts is the reason why my Hongxiulou business is booming."

Li An understood now, and replied: "Is this the reason why you said in the restaurant that Hongxiu Tower is not afraid of Baoyue Tower and Zuixianju?"

"It's natural."

Hong Xiangyu chuckled, feeling a little complacent, without noticing the changing expression on Li Ang's face behind her.

He went on to say: "If you want to become a first-class industry and attract numerous dignitaries and nobles, you must have your own characteristics."

"Even if Baoyue Tower and Zuixianju really have high-quality goods, at best they can only gain a foothold in Shangjing."

"So, I'm not too worried."

Li An's expression changed, naturally because he realized a key problem.

Since ancient times, brothels have always had some human trafficking activities, but this may be slightly restrained in Shangjing. After all, it is under the emperor's nose, and being too chaotic will only lead to self-destruction.

But it’s different if it’s a casino.

Lending money to gamblers who have lost all their money in a casino is a high-interest loan. This will naturally lead to countless people being torn apart from their wives and children and their families being destroyed.

Therefore, this Hong Xiangyu, who looks like a handsome and elegant gentleman, is engaged in a business that kills people without shedding blood.

"Haha, I wonder where all the girls in Mr. Hong's building come from? They are all very well-educated and are really eye-catching."

Li An probed calmly.

"My dear brother, you misunderstood."

As if she could see through Li An's heart, this Hong Xiangyu was actually born with a very smart mind. He waved his hand and explained, "I did collect beauties from all over the place, but they were all the ones that the current emperor picked out and could not return to their original places."

"It's strange. The current emperor doesn't like women, so there are only four women from commoner families in the harem. Many beautiful girls are not allowed to enter the palace, so a nobleman asked me to take over. I have no choice but to obey such an order!"

Humph, that's absolute nonsense.

Li An immediately found the loophole in this statement.

Others didn't know, but didn't he? The little emperor himself was a woman, so how could he allow those failed concubines to enter such a place?

Besides, some of the women who participated in the talent show, except for the daughters of commoners who were indeed very beautiful, were mostly from families with good backgrounds. How could they not be able to return to their original place?

The twists and turns in this matter will become clear in the future, but first let’s take a look at what’s so mysterious about this gambling house.

Seeing that Li An was thinking and not saying anything, Hong Xiangyu said loudly: "Let's not talk about worldly matters today. Tonight we should just talk about love and have fun."

There was a lot of noise and bustle ahead. It turned out that while they were talking, they had already reached the entrance of the gambling house.

"Buy and leave!"

"big big big!"

"One, one, three, five o'clock, little one!"

"Oops, I lost again!"

When everyone entered, they found that the interior was extremely huge!
The huge casino was decorated luxuriously, inheriting the style favored by the nobles. There were all kinds of gambling tables, and the gamblers spent money like water and sweated profusely. Although they had just lost the game, they kept coming back.

No wonder people who run casinos can make a lot of money and get rich easily. This love of whoring and gambling is really a man's nature, it is full of desire!

"Xiangyu doesn't even know your names! Let's go and gamble!"

As he spoke, someone came up with a tray filled with silver ingots.

"If you lose this money, it's all mine. If you win, it's all yours!"

Hong Xiangyu raised her hand, her expression full of sincerity.

"Mr. Hong is quite courageous. There is a lot of silver in this plate."

Hong Kaijia's heart trembled. He was born in the market, so he naturally understood the principle of not being greedy. Seeing Hong Xiangyu's overly generous behavior, he wondered if this was a trap. Wang Shisanlang looked around to see if there was any ambush. He was sure that he could make the place quiet within five breaths!

It’s no wonder that he is so cautious. The journey with Ang Lee has been somewhat bumpy.

Yan Xiaoyi also looked over and asked what Li An meant.

"If I tell you to take it, just take it!"

Li An said to his disciple with a smile, and then turned around and responded to Hong Xiangyu: "My surname is Li, the two people on the left and right are my followers, and the younger one is my disciple."

"I love gambling the most in my life, maybe I'll have to go out and play a few hands!"

It just depends on whether you can accept it!

"Hahaha!"

Hong Xiangyu laughed heartily, "So it's Master Li. Let's talk about whether we're going to gamble or not for now. You can look around!"

"Unfortunately, I have some other things to deal with, so I will leave first."

After saying this, he walked gracefully behind the screen in the distance.

Seeing that everyone had left, Hong Kaijia took the tray from the servant, and the four of them began to wander around the place.

Let’s just wait and see, everyone made up their minds and looked around the gambling table.

Ping pa pa!
when!
A very seductive woman stood at the side of the gambling table, slamming the dice cup in her hand heavily on the table. It turned out that this was a female dealer wearing revealing clothes, which was quite unique.

"Please place your bets and leave!"

The four people's ears twitched and they all smiled slightly, silently watching everything on the field.

After a few rounds of this, at Li An's signal, Hong Kaijia threw the tray, and the wooden tray slid to the side marked with a larger number on the gambling table.

This move made all the gamblers exclaim in surprise.

The silver in this plate must be several hundred taels. Who is so generous?

This is the lowest-end casino outhouse.

People turned their eyes to the four people in the field, and even their crazy gambling addiction temporarily subsided.

After a moment of calm, increasingly frantic shouts were heard!

"Okay! Hahaha!"

"Open, open, open!"

"How generous! He gave away hundreds of taels of silver without blinking an eye!"

As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, experts watch the doorway. Many people with cultivation in the field narrowed their eyes.

The way the guy threw the plate just now showed his skill!

The tray stopped steadily on the word "大", not a centimeter more or less.

However, although this person has profound skills and clever techniques, the dice cups in this casino are specially made to guard against martial arts masters like the person in front of him, so that people cannot hear what is in the cup.

Where did he get his confidence?
Li An looked at the venue and smiled, "The money on the gambling table comes in with the left hand and goes out with the right hand, don't worry about it!"

As soon as he finished laughing, he looked at the female dealer and said, "Open the cup."

The female dealer could stand here, so how could she not know what time she had shaken? She looked at the handsome man in front of her with a smile on his face, but not much of a smile, and couldn't help but hesitate a little.

Seeing that everyone was constantly making a fuss and even some questioning voices were heard, she was helpless and could only grit her teeth and open the pot.

"Four, five, six, fifteen, big!"

Wow!
There was an uproar!
