Chapter 34 The City Lord Who Likes to Play Mahjong
"Well, what is this again?"

Su Yue walked forward curiously and looked at the table carefully.

He reached out to touch it, and accidentally pressed lightly on the tabletop. Suddenly... the runes on the table lit up.

Then, there was a sound of mechanical rotation, and four decks of mahjong tiles slowly rose from the center of the table.

"This……"

Su Yue was stunned when he saw the scene in front of him. It was the first time for him to see such a magical thing in his life.

"This thing seems interesting!" Su Yue muttered to himself.

Then, he couldn't help but reach out and pick up a mahjong tile and look at it carefully.

Just then, Shen Qiu pushed the door open and walked in.

"Hmm? Brother Su, are you interested in mahjong?" Shen Qiu asked.

"Hahaha, Brother Shen, this thing is called mahjong. Where did you get it from? It seems interesting." When Su Yue saw Shen Qiu coming in, he put down the mahjong in his hand and asked casually.

"Brother Su, you don't know this, but this is made of deep sea cold jade. It's warm in winter and cool in summer, and it's perfect for playing mahjong."

Shen Qiu talked nonsense in a serious tone, since bragging was tax-free anyway.

Su Yue nodded half-doubtfully, then picked up the mahjong tiles. They were cool to the touch, smooth and delicate, with exquisite patterns carved on them and a smooth back. He couldn't let them go.

Seeing this, Shen Qiu said tentatively: "Brother Su, mahjong is an entertainment game, the gameplay is simple and the fun is endless, do you want to try it?"

Hearing this, Su Yue became interested, "Oh, how do you play? Please teach me, Brother Shen."

So Shen Qiu briefly explained the basic rules of mahjong.

At the beginning, Su Yue was still a little confused, but with Shen Qiu's patient explanation, he gradually understood the rules of mahjong, and his eyes gradually lit up.

"Interesting, very interesting, this mahjong is really fun and interesting!" Su Yue couldn't help but praise.

"Come on, Brother Su, let's play two games first."

Seeing this, Shen Qiu called two more maids, and the four of them played two games casually.

"Okay, brother, today I will risk my life to fight you for three hundred rounds." Su Yue said with a smile, then rolled up his sleeves and prepared to fight.

Just listening to the crisp collision sound, Su Yue felt very comfortable.

Shen Qiu also knew that someone like Su Yue, who had been in a high position for a long time, must be busy with affairs on a daily basis, and it would be rare for him to have such leisure time, so of course he had to accompany him to the end.

So, the four of them drank tea and played mahjong, and the room was filled with laughter.

Although it was Su Yue's first time playing, he had a high level of comprehension and quickly mastered the tricks, even winning a few games.

"Hahaha, Brother Shen, thank you for letting me win!" Su Yue won the game, so he was naturally in a good mood and spoke with a bit of pride.

Shen Qiu was not annoyed, but smiled and joked: "Brother Su, it seems that you are really gifted. You play mahjong better than me."

Su Yue waved his hands and said modestly: "No, no, I'm just lucky."

In the blink of an eye it's the next round.

"Touch!" "Touch!"

"Bar!"

Su Yue became more and more excited as he played, especially when he was winning, he was so excited that he completely lost the dignity of a city lord.

If you don’t know, you might really mistake Su Yue for a gambler.

In this way, the two played mahjong for the entire afternoon, and it was not until nightfall that Su Yue got up and said goodbye with a feeling of being unsatisfied.

"Brother Shen, I had a really great time today. Your Fanlou is really a paradise on earth. I will come here often in my spare time."

Before leaving, Su Yue did not forget to praise.

Shen Qiu smiled and said, "Brother Su, take care. I'll treat you to hot pot next time."

After Su Yue left, Shen Qiu couldn't help but shook his head and smiled bitterly.

He originally just wanted to take Su Yue for a casual stroll, but he didn't expect that he would end up getting addicted to mahjong. It seems that Fanlou will have another regular customer in the future.

"Huh, it's finally over. It's so tiring to play tricks on others. It's clear that I just want to lie down!"

Looking back at everything that happened today, Shen Qiu knew in his heart that things were not as simple as they seemed.

"This City Lord Su looks generous, but he is actually very thoughtful..."

A playful smile appeared on Shen Qiu's lips. Ever since Shangguan Lie came to cause trouble, Zhao Dezhu and others had been preparing to launch a plan to suppress Fanlou. The city lord Su Yue should have known the news a long time ago.

Since the other party did not stop him, it was obvious that he wanted to find out Fan Lou's background.

Unexpectedly, the appearance of Thirteenth Sword Master Chen Jianyu suddenly disrupted the course of events. However, Su Yue was not distressed. He took advantage of the situation and captured Zhao Dezhu and others. He was ready to use this as an excuse to intimidate Fanlou.

Su Yue came today with heavy cavalry, personal guards and city guards. His original intention was to give Fan Lou a warning, but his attitude of showing goodwill was also genuine, because Su Yue had prepared the gold compensation long ago and had no intention of starting a war.

Otherwise, Su Yue would probably mobilize the sharpshooter over as soon as possible to ensure that everything was foolproof.

However, even if Chen Jianyu was not there, Su Yue would not easily mobilize troops before finding out the details of Fan Lou. The reason why he brought so many people here was to intimidate Fan Lou.

At the same time, he was also hinting: No matter who is standing behind Fan Lou, as long as he doesn't do anything wrong, everything will be fine. Otherwise, even if there is someone backing Fan Lou, he, Su Yue, will dare to perish along with him.

Although Shen Qiu likes to lie down, it doesn't mean that he is stupid. What Su Yue said today was 70% true and 30% false, and Shen Qiu didn't want to dwell on it.

Because Shen Qiu had already shown him the secret, Jiuxuannu did not hide her cultivation level, and Chen Jianzun and his wife had already settled down in Fanlou. As long as the people in Fanlou did not do anything to endanger Tianhuang City, Su Yue would just turn a blind eye.

In fact, Shen Qiu was right. Su Yue brought his troops and escorted Zhao Dezhu and others here today. He also prepared gold. In addition to intimidating Fan Lou, it was also a gesture of goodwill.

Originally Su Yue thought that Fanlou was the same as those smoky brothels in the city, but who knew that Fanlou's service was to sell art instead of bodies, and it was just a more luxurious restaurant.

Su Yue had been somewhat dissatisfied with the rise of Fanlou before, because there was a curfew in the city and the city gates would be closed shortly after nightfall.

But what do you mean by Fanlou?
There are still lights and music in the middle of the night, and the sound of DJ can be heard from time to time. Don’t you think it’s infuriating?

Moreover, those guests did not care about the night curfew in the city, because they all stayed in Fanlou. The next day, the city gates were wide open, and they went back leisurely. Su Yue was more or less unhappy about this.

The most important point is that since Fanlou opened, business has been booming. Su Yue made so much money but did not pay any taxes. Naturally, he felt a little unbalanced.
