Seeing the clouds

Chapter 31: Thirty Casino Suspicions
Zhang Chuchu, Li Jingxuan and Li Jingxiong returned to the room again.

After a brief discussion just now, Zhang Yue fully understood the gap between himself and Li Jingxiong. Li Jingxiong could grasp the big stone and resist his full blow without any damage. This body must be of a first-class quality, right?
This was just Li Jingxiong who had his arms locked by the God-binding talisman. Zhang Yue could not imagine what would happen if Big Stone took off the two God-binding talismans.

Like the lord of the devil descending from the sky, he is really the Taisui god on earth!
Although Li Jingxiong was born with supernatural powers, Zhang Yue was still curious about how he used his luck to unload his strength, so he wanted to ask for advice.

As the saying goes, three people must have my teacher.

But Li Jingxiong, a silly boy, didn't know anything about luck, so he told Zhang Yue that he did everything on his own whim.Zhang Yue was naturally hit again.

It's like a scholar who has been studying the books of sages for ten years sees another scholar's natural article and asks him how he did it. Then the other scholar says that he has never read the book and just wrote the article casually on a whim. This is completely true. Put a knife to the neck and force someone to die.

Fortunately, Zhang Yue has a good attitude. He knows that no matter how much he thinks, Zhang Yue will never be able to achieve the big goal. In order to get revenge, he can only move forward one step at a time.

After a while, the three of them heard someone knocking on the door: "Master, something happened."

In Li Jingxuan's house, the young master's name was naturally Li Jingxuan.As for Li Jingxiong, most servants and servants call him Young Master.

Li Jingxuan said: "Come in."

As soon as the door opened, the person who came in was the more talkative of the two servants Li Jingxuan had with him.After previous discussions with Li Jingxiong, Zhang Yue chatted with the two for a while and learned their names. The talkative one was named Li Tan, while the one who was temporarily absent was named Li Fu.

Li Tan and Li Fu grew up in the Li Mansion and served Li Jingxuan since childhood.Li Jingxuan spent several years in Tianshui when he was a child, and his temperament was more or less influenced by Zhang Yunping.Therefore, he treated his servants quite well, so Li Tan and Li Fu were grateful and loyal, and they were regarded as his only confidants.Although Li Tan speaks harshly and pretends to be powerful, he is actually a down-to-earth person with an honest temperament. He is diligent and not lazy. Even if Li Jingxuan asks him to do some troublesome things, he never complains.And the other Li Fu, although he looks dull on the surface, is actually deep-minded. Li Jingxuan will do all the dirty work to him. The two of them are one outside and one inside, one is lively and the other is dull, complementing each other .

Li Tan entered the room, closed the door, and said, "Master, I found the Sun Tai you asked me to check."

When Li Jingxuan heard this, he forgot to tell Zhang Chuo before, so he explained: "Brother Yue, it's like this. Didn't that little girl Sun Ying say that her father wouldn't let him come to Shifu Villa? I think it's a little strange. , so he asked Atan to send someone to check on Sun Tai, Sun Ying’s father. Atan, what did you find?"

Li Tan then said: "That Sun Tai, the little girl's father, is a merchant. In the early years, he was hard-working and simple, and had a good reputation among the neighbors. Later, he got a wife in the countryside outside Tianshui City and gave birth to his son. Sun Ying. Originally, Sun Tai made a little money from his business, and his family of three could be considered happy. But later, Sun Tian was led by his friends to gamble. From then on, he couldn't stop doing business, and he stopped doing business all day long. He stayed in the casino all night and didn't come out. It's not difficult to find him, either in the casino or on the way to the casino. In gambling, nine out of ten gamblers will lose. It's not as good as a pig to lose everything. How can Sun Tai have so little money? It was enough to see. But he was addicted to drugs, and his wife tried to persuade him to die. In the end, he left without even having to eat. He originally wanted to take his daughter Sun Ying with him, but Sun Tai was not willing to do anything. He sold his daughter for gambling money. He even spared his own daughter. Look, is this still a human being?"

Zhang Yue's day with Li Jingxuan really made him feel bad. It was not because he felt sorry for Sun Tai, but because he felt sorry for Sun Ying, a little girl.

Li Jingxiong was unfazed because he didn't understand what was going on.

Li Jingxuan was silent for a while and asked: "So Sun Tai is still in the casino now?"

Li Tan nodded: "Yes."

Li Jingxuan said: "Which casino is Scar Wu's?"

Li Tan replied: "It belongs to Scar Wu. He can't enter Liu Shan's casino."

Li Jingxuan said: "Okay, I understand, please step back first. Remember to help me keep an eye on Luo Muwan's situation."

Li Tan opened the door and left.

Zhang Chuchu and Li Jingxuan looked at each other and understood something from each other's eyes.

Zhang Chuchu said: "Although Miss Luo asked us not to worry about this matter, I still think it is necessary to go and see that Sun Tai."

Li Jingxuan nodded: "I think so too."

Li Jingxiong, who was sitting aside, finally understood this sentence and quickly asked his dearest brother: "Brother, can I come with you?"

Li Jingxuan shook his head: "No, you are attracting too much attention."

Li Jingxiong looked unhappy.

Zhang Chuchu patted Li Jingxuan on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Take Da Shitou. Let's go have a meal first. It's dark at night and no one will notice. If it doesn't work, just let him stand outside to look out."

Seeing Zhang Chuo's words, Li Jingxuan no longer refused and said helplessly: "Okay, okay, since Brother Yue agrees, then let's go with my younger brother."

Li Jingxiong happily jumped up from his stool, rushed to Zhang Yue and hugged him.Zhang Chuchu and Li Jingxuan couldn't help laughing when they saw his appearance.

So the three of them changed into their casual clothes and went to Zhaixing Tower for dinner first, and paid off the debt they owed during the day. When night fell and Tianshui City was dark, the three of them set off to In Li Jingxuan's words, Scar Wu's casino.

Zhang Yue had never been to a casino, let alone Li Jingxiong.As the number one young master in Tianshui City, Li Jingxuan was naturally familiar with the dandy.However, he went to Liu Shan's casino more often, because Liu Shan's casinos were relatively clean and concise, and generally gathered wealthy businessmen from Tianshui City or surrounding areas. They were not as mixed, dirty, and chaotic as Scar Wu's casino.

The three of them rushed to Scar Wu's casino. Most of the residents nearby had closed their doors and windows, and there was only a glimmer of light in the dark corners.The three of them lifted up the black curtain that served as a curtain inside the casino door, and what they saw was a simple room with only a simple counter. Standing at the counter was a big man with a sinister face.

The big man saw three guests coming in, and he knew the young man leading them. He was Li Jingxuan, the second son of the Han Dynasty's public family, a well-known wealthy owner in Tianshui City, and a big fish.

The rough face quickly put on a smile, walked out of the counter to greet him, and said with a smile: "Second Master, how come you are fine, why did Second Master think of coming to play?"

Li Jingxuan knew the rules, so he threw a small piece of silver to him and said, "Well, I haven't been here for a few days. Come and see, is shopkeeper Wu here?"

The man stretched out his hand to catch the broken silver, groped it with his hands and hid it in his arms. He quickly smiled and said: "The shopkeeper went to the west of the city to have a drink. He is not here for the time being. You three can just tell me if you have something to do. I wonder what you call these two gentlemen?"

Li Jingxuan pointed at Zhang Yue and said: "This is my cousin, also surnamed Li. He is mainly curious today, so he came here to play."

The man quickly raised his hands and shouted: "Hello, Mr. Li."

Zhang Chuchu had no choice but to return the gift.Li Jingxuan pointed at the tall Li Jingxiong and said: "This is my personal guard, so you don't need to ask. By the way, let me ask you something, is Sun Tai in there?"

The man thought for a while and said, "I haven't seen him come out since I went in this morning. He should still be inside. However, his gambling luck has not been good these days and he already owes several taels of silver. Does he also owe you money, Second Master?" "

Li Jingxuan said: "That's not true. I saw his daughter on the street today and she felt a little pitiful, so I asked."

When the man heard this, he also sighed and said: "Stop talking, she won't be his daughter in two days. He sold his daughter to Chunfeng Pavilion for 20 taels of silver yesterday, and the deed of sale has been signed. It's done. His Sun Tai’s daughter was also very unlucky in her previous life.”

Li Jingxuan nodded, remembering the name Chunfeng Pavilion in his heart, and said to the big man: "Let's not talk about this anymore. Please open the door, Lao Zhou, we are going in."

The big man quickly opened the soundproof wooden door and let the three guests in.

After entering the door, there was not a hall room behind the door, but a slightly narrow staircase, and various noisy sounds came from down the stairs.

The three of them walked down the stairs, and Li Jingxuan said: "The one just now was the doorman Lao Zhou. Scar Wu Casino has a rule that matters in the casino will be settled in the casino. If you tip Lao Zhou when you enter the door, no matter how much or how little you tip, then If you have a conflict with someone later in the casino, as long as you don't apologize for your loss, Lao Zhou will definitely help you, even if the other person also tipped you, it was still more than you."

The stairs were not long, and it took the three of them ten breaths of walking to reach the main hall of the casino below.It was only when Zhang Chuo arrived below that he discovered that the casino was really a mixed bag, with all kinds of people there.There are also endless ways to gamble, such as Ma Diao, Shuanglu, Pai Gow, dice games, etc.

But Zhang Yue and Li Jingxuan felt a little confused when they saw this lively scene. Neither of them had seen Sun Tai before. The casino was so big, so how could they recognize who Sun Tai was.

Li Jingxuan just wanted to ask the casino clerk if anyone knew Sun Tai. Could you please help identify him.Zhang Yue suddenly said to Li Jingxuan: "There is murderous intent in this casino."

When Zhang Chuchu was crawling around in the northwest animal pen, facing all kinds of desperadoes, he had already developed a very sensitive sense of murderous intent.But what made him curious was that although the murderous aura was looming, it was quite strong. Even Zhang Chuo, who had experienced countless life and death battles, saw such a strong murderous aura and had to admit that he could not release it and had never seen it before.

Those generals and generals with ten thousand enemies who have experienced countless killings and killings are probably nothing more than this, right?

When Li Jingxuan heard this, he was also shocked.Although some gossiping often happens in casinos, every lane has its own rules. Casinos are never a place for revenge or fights between roommates.Therefore, murderous intent is quite rare in casinos.

Li Jingxuan asked: "Where did it come from?"

Zhang Yue felt it carefully again, looked around, and finally his eyes stopped on a familiar yet unfamiliar face, and said to Li Jingxuan: "Here."

Li Jingxuan quickly followed his gaze, but the result was completely beyond his expectation.

In a hidden corner of the casino, there was a man standing against the wall. The man Zhang Yue and Li Jingxuan both knew each other. He was another descendant of Shifu Villa who came to Tianshui City this time. He used Yu Jingqiu as his Ci card. The famous man——Lin Ya.

Li Jingxuan frowned: "Lin Ya? Why is he here?"

Zhang Yue thought about it for a while, and said with a serious face: "If I guessed correctly, I'm afraid it is also related to Sun Tai. He came to the casino, but stood in the corner, with no thoughts of gambling, and his whole body was spreading Murderous. It seems that if we don't come, Sun Tai may be in trouble tonight."

Li Jingxuan also reacted, but after thinking about it carefully, he still had some doubts: "If I remember correctly, this is the first time he came to Tianshui this year, and he should not have a mortal grudge with Sun Tai. Could it be because of Sun Ying? Girl? That’s not right. Shifu Villa is one of the most famous sects in the world of martial arts, and there is no shortage of money. Even if Sun Taishi opened his mouth, Shifu Villa would pay dozens of taels of silver for Sun Ying, who is extremely talented. Buying Sun Ying is a business that is sure to make a profit, so why bother with human lives?"

Zhang Yue shook his head: "I can't guess. I'm afraid I have to ask him in person. But now that Lin Ya hasn't taken action, we can't show our faces and attack. We can just wait and see what happens. If he really kills someone, My heart will definitely not attack in a casino, but will definitely choose a dark and deserted street."

Li Jingxuan felt that what Zhang Yue said made sense and nodded in agreement.

Zhang Yue continued: "We have to find Sun Tai first, otherwise it will be useless just to keep an eye on Lin Ya. As a descendant of a prestigious family like Shifu Villa, he must not be very weak. He can have such thoughts of killing people, and there must be something in his heart." We have a sure-fire plan. When we leave the casino, it will not be difficult for us to simply protect Sun Tai, but we can't keep watch over Sun Tai like a retinue, right? If we can avoid the first day of the junior high school, we can't avoid the fifteenth day. We will always alert the snake. Besides, at night Pitch black, for Lin Ya, is like a bird entering the forest, a fish in the water, and can move forward or retreat. So we must stop Lin Ya before she takes action, and then ask clearly what Shifu Villa thinks. And With the evidence of this nighttime murder, even if they break up with Shifu Villa, they will be at fault first. What's more, your father's tens of thousands of private troops in Tianshui City are not vegetarians. Keep the two Shifu Villa. It’s really not that difficult to be the heir of Fushan Villa.”

He paused and then said: "Is it difficult for a dandy like you, Xiao Shitou, to understand why I want to save someone like Sun Tai who abandons his wife and sells his daughter?"

Li Jingxuan smiled bitterly: "No way, it's all pretending, and I'm not a real playboy. Although Sun Tai's actions are indeed against the conscience of heaven and earth, they are only reasonable and illegal, and there is no way to die."

Zhang Chuchu joked: "I finally know why I had the best time with you back then. We really have the same chemistry."

Li Jingxuan also wanted to laugh when he heard Zhang Yue's joke: "That's called congeniality. You are the one who studied with Mr. Bai together with me. Wouldn't it be embarrassing to talk about it?"

Zhang Chuchu patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, no more joking. Although Lin Ya has been staring at the Pai Gow table, there are really a lot of people at this table, and they seem to be all different. They're all like Sun Tai who haven't settled down yet, so it's hard to tell them apart. There should be some casino guys you know here, right? Go over and ask, but be sure to keep a low profile."

Li Jingxuan nodded in agreement, then found a relatively lively and inconspicuous place and asked the casino clerk there.

The casino clerk naturally knew Li Jingxuan, the famous Li Erye in Tianshui City. When Li Jingxuan asked him who was Sun Tai, he quickly looked at the casino and then pointed to the Pai Gow table that Zhang Yue mentioned earlier. There was a thin and haggard man. , but a middle-aged man with high spirits.

Li Jingxuan knew the answer and was not stingy. He gave the clerk some broken silver, making the clerk who received the broken silver grateful.

Then Li Jingxuan returned to Zhang Yue and Li Jingxiong. After telling Zhang Yue the answer, the two began to discuss what to do next.

At this moment, Lin Ya, who had been standing "in obscurity" in the corner, started to walk up the stairs of the casino, preparing to take the first step.

When Zhang Yue met Li Jingxuan, he was a little surprised.

Although the two of them didn't know what Lin Ya's purpose was in leaving the casino now.

But both of them knew that what happened tonight would be extremely complicated and difficult to predict.

　I missed three updates earlier, so sorry!I've been a little busy lately, but I'll catch up as soon as possible.
