Records of the Cattle and Horses of Chang'an

Chapter 348 Zhou Qiu

Zhao Shan was no fool. He immediately shook his head and laughed at Wang Leisheng: "Brother Lei, you have a fierce wife at home. Why don't we just stop here today?"

"How can a man be trapped by a woman? I'm lucky today, how can I leave before I win the amount we agreed to when we came here? Come on, don't worry about him, let's continue playing!"

Wang Leisheng, feeling humiliated, kicked Jian Ming on the butt impatiently: "Go, tell my wife I have something serious to do! I'll come back when I make enough money!"

"Hey! Hey! My dear, calm down! My dear, calm down!"

Jian Ming lowered himself to the ground and begged for mercy: "My wife said she would wait for you to come back for dinner. If you don't come back, she won't eat. If I go back now, I'm afraid I'll be beaten!"

"Eat it if you want, or you can starve to death if you don't!"

This made the gamblers watching the fun burst out laughing. Wang Leisheng, who had tried to save the situation with words, waved his hand at them nonchalantly: "This woman is so annoying!"

"It's all the same, hahahaha."

Seeing this, Jian Ming timidly followed and stayed aside.

Wang Leisheng and the others hadn't gotten any information, which showed that the gambling house was indeed well-informed. He was afraid that Jiulang's entry wouldn't be smooth sailing, so he had to be ready to respond at any time...

On the other side, Cui Bianxu went around from the back door and came to the house next to the God of Wealth Casino. He thought he was a passerby outside, but in fact he walked back and forth several times like a prodigal son who was trying to climb the widow's wall. After making sure that no one was looking at him, he suddenly stopped and kicked hard, climbing over two walls in a row. Xiao Cui finally entered the territory of the God of Wealth Casino.

Average luck.

The moment he landed, he almost collided head-on with two patrolling thugs. In a panic, he hooked his toes on a tree branch and stuck to the trunk like a gecko, eating a mouthful of half-dried leaves to barely escape.

The patrols at the God of Wealth Casino were very frequent, with two thugs patrolling past this place almost every half a minute. Cui Bianxu watched four groups of people squatting on the tree and confirmed that their patrol time was basically within this range. Then he spat out the leaves in his mouth, jumped down the tree and quickly slipped into a small courtyard.

The layout of this gambling house was very strange, completely different from an ordinary mansion. From a distance, he could see a huge courtyard with bright lights. Noisy cheers came from the other end, which must be a racecourse.

The place he entered was in the backyard, which was composed of many small courtyards, densely packed next to each other. He came in for the carriage. It would take too much time to search so many small courtyards one by one, and it would be too easy to be discovered.

Cui Bianxu had no choice but to find a way to get closer to the back door. After the carriage entered the back door, the sound of the wheels turned left. There was more than one person in the carriage. The carriage was small, and with so many people, there would definitely be subtle traces left on the ground. Only by following the traces could one find out where the carriage had gone most accurately.

At the same time, in an unremarkable courtyard within the God of Wealth Casino, a tall, burly man with a dark complexion and a full beard was diligently toasting with a servant-like figure. "Our wine isn't as good as the one in the mansion, so Brother Wu, just make do with it. But these dishes, I sent someone to Lexianlou to buy them, and I've been waiting for you, Brother Wu!"

There was a big black mole under his right eye, with black hairs of varying lengths growing wildly across the mole. The flesh on his cheekbones was bulging, and there were some oil stains on his beard. He looked unkind and even when he was smiling, he looked a little hideous.

Wu Guanfu remained composed, one arm around the balmy woman beside him, unfazed by the cold, and downed his drink from her hand. His other hand caressed the plump, goose-like thigh covered in gauze. "Zhou Qiu, although you may be a bit rough, you're incredibly reliable. The master is in dire need of someone like you, and he values ​​talent like you."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qiu threw his head back and laughed heartily. Then he hugged the woman beside him who was also wearing only a light veil and with a shaky bun, and kissed her hard on the cheek, leaving a wet mark, not sure if it was from wine or saliva.

The woman seemed unaware and instead pressed her plump breasts closer to him, making him so happy that he grabbed a few coins from the coin box beside him and stuffed them into her breasts.

Seeing this, Wu Guanfu picked up his wine glass and drank from it. A hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes. When he put the glass down again, his expression became serious again: "Someone died in Yong'an Canal yesterday. How could you be so careless?"

"Hey!"

Zhou Qiu slapped the woman's thigh, and it immediately turned red. The slap mark was clearly visible. The woman was in pain and shock, and her whole body trembled unconsciously, even the exposed hemispheres began to tremble together. Seeing this, Zhou Qiu was itching to do something. "To be honest, Brother Wu, that thing is not easy to deal with. Several people have died, and they were all dealt with well. But I don't know how this one escaped. But don't worry, Brother Wu, I have already sent more people, and this kind of thing will never happen again!"

Wu Guanfu raised his eyebrows, as if unhappy: "Could it be that there is still no one available? How many people have been sent here in the past few months?"

He tapped his fingers on the table twice and said with a slightly more serious tone: "This is under the feet of the emperor!"

"Yes Yes Yes."

A surge of anger rose in Zhou Qiu's heart, and he pushed the woman in his arms aside. The woman fell to the ground in pain but bit her lower lip tightly and dared not scream.

He didn't even glance at it. He scooted over to Wu Guanfu's side and poured him some wine. When he looked up, his face was already full of smiles. "How could that thing be so easy to make? It's a killer weapon! But Brother Wu, you can go back and tell the master that this matter has made some progress. That's why I asked Brother Wu to send more people to try it out."

As he spoke, he waved his hand and someone brought up a large mahogany box half a man's height. Zhou Qiu looked at the box with considerable pride: "This is last month's income. I'll have to trouble Brother Wu to take it back to the master for inspection."

Wu Guanfu frowned at the foul smell coming from his mouth: "Is the account book in there?"

"Don't worry, it's all inside."

Zhou Qiu couldn't help but feel secretly pleased when he saw this, and he breathed harder as he spoke to him: "The small box up there is for buying wine for Brother Wu. It's a small token of my respect."

"this...."

Wu Guanfu's complexion immediately improved, and he suddenly felt that the pungent odor was not so unpleasant: "This is against the rules. If people knew about it..."

"Hey~Brother Wu, what are you talking about? It's just the friendship between us brothers. I feel sorry for you running around outside every day, so I thought of buying you some wine to quench your thirst." Although Zhou Qiu looks rough, he speaks very well.

With a reasonable excuse, Wu Guanfu finally smiled for the first time today: "Thank you very much, Brother Zhou. I will be honored to refuse."
