Rebirth of Lu Bu, the tyrant of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 386, Regulating the gambling house, discovering gunpowder
Lu Bu's eyebrows moved slightly, "If Mulan doesn't like it, just close this gambling house."

Hua Mulan paused, and then said, "I have thought about it before, but the person behind this gambling house is General Wei Zhuang, and I have also checked that this gambling house is making money every day. All proceeds went to the military coffers.

General Wei Zhuang did not hide a single point."

Lu Bu's pupils dilated slightly. This was a novelty, and it was really difficult to deal with. After all, this gambling house is a cornucopia that can collect a lot of money.

At present, the army needs money to buy war horses, replace armor and weapons, build barracks, and resettle disaster victims.

Wei Zhuang must have come up with such a way out of desperation.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with the gambling house itself, but most people can't control themselves, and if they lose money, they will put all the blame on the gambling house.

But I have never seen them say anything bad about the casino when they win money.

But the order of this casino really needs to be rectified.

Lu Bu thought for a while, and then said, "You and I change into a new suit and go to the scene to have a look."

The two rode their horses towards the west of the city. The west of the city is the most chaotic boundary in Wuyuan County. There are people from all walks of life, but it is also the most prosperous boundary.

Because of the large number of people, the business is very good both on the surface and behind the scenes.

It was the afternoon, and there were people shaking on the street, but it was far less lively than in the evening.

From far away, I saw a gambling house on the corner of the street. The scale was not too big or small, but inside it was chaotic, with all kinds of people shuttling inside, there were nearly a hundred people.

Lu Bu glanced at it, and most of them were odd and even, dice, four-door Fangbao, Pai Gow and so on.

The gameplay is very simple, but it still attracts many people.

It seems that it is not only modern people who have such a mentality to get rich overnight with a small amount, but also the ancients.

Standing beside them were a few big men with hulking backs and ferocious faces, who should be the guards guarding the casino.

Lu Bu walked over slowly, and said in a low voice, "Who is in charge here?"

The muscular man said in an arrogant tone, "If you need anything, just call me, our hall master usually doesn't see strangers."

Lu Bu moved his right hand slightly, and a piece of 20 taels of silver had already appeared in his hand.

The guard's eyes moved slightly, and a look of joy flashed in his eyes.

Lu Bu calmly handed the 20 taels of silver to the guard.

The guard showed an excited expression on his face, and said with a smile on his face, "Please, please, our hall master is in the house, and I will report to you right away."

From a distance, one can see a middle-aged bald head reclining on the wooden chair inside.

Seeing that the guard said a few words in his ear, the guard walked out quickly and said with a smile, "Fourth Lord let you in."

As soon as Lu Bu stepped into the door, he heard the middle-aged man say in a deep voice, "What do you two want me for?"

Lu Bu laughed and said, "It's nothing important, I just want to talk to you about the law and order of this gambling house."

The middle-aged man called Si Ye's face moved slightly, "Public security? We have very good public security here, who dares to cause trouble in our territory."

Lu Bu's face moved slightly, and he raised his voice, "I don't care whose master you are, if you want to continue to operate this gambling shop from today on, you must maintain law and order.

If you want to gamble here, you have to gamble in a proper manner, and if you dare to cause trouble, be careful that I will take you away."

When the fourth master heard Lu Bu's voice so fierce, he couldn't help but get angry. He slammed the table with his right hand, a flash of anger flashed in his eyes, and said angrily, "Stinky boy, what are you? It's not our turn to deal with the gambling house. You take care of it."

There was a slight smile on the corner of Lu Bu's mouth, "The whole Bingzhou is under my control, and I can't control the west of Wuyuan County."

The fourth master's face moved slightly, just about to say what you are.

Then he took a careful look at Lu Bu, recalling the rumored appearance of Lu Bu, plus the tone of Lu Bu's speech.

With a look of horror on his face, he immediately knelt on the ground with one knee, shaking his body and said, "Meet King Bingzhou".

The guards at the door heard the quarrel inside and rushed in quickly.

Seeing the scene in front of him, he couldn't help being surprised, "Fourth Master, why are you kneeling on the ground?"

The leader of the fourth master slightly raised his head and glanced at Lu Bu, his expression becoming more and more frightened.

The voice faltered, "80.00% of the money we earn from gambling here will go to the imperial court, and we only keep 20.00%."

Lu Bu said calmly, "Get up, Bingzhou needs to develop right now, and a lot of gold and silver are inseparable. Money needs to be made, but the law and order must not be messed up."

"promise!"

Lu Bu continued, "What's your name?"

The bald middle-aged man bowed and said, "The villain is Lei Bao, the master of Thunderbolt Hall, and he is the fourth in his family. Thanks to his friends in the world, he respects me and calls me Fourth Lord."

Lu Bu nodded, Thunderbolt Hall?

It should be a small sect in the Jianghu. Although Lu Bu has been leading the army, he has heard a little about the affairs of the Jianghu. Where there are people, there will naturally be Jianghu.

"What is the most powerful thing in your Thunder Hall?"

Lei Bao said, "Our family has studied gunpowder for generations, and the most powerful thing is the fire bomb, which can kill people alive.

Because I offended Mr. Wei Zhuang before, so I surrendered to Mr. Wei Zhuang's command. He asked me to run a gambling shop here. On the one hand, I can collect money for the court, and on the other hand, I can help collect various information."

Lu Bu's eyebrows moved slightly, Wei Zhuang was indeed a character, and such a method could be thought of.

But when he heard Huoleibo, Lu Bu couldn't help but tremble slightly, "Huoleibo, is it gunpowder?"

If gunpowder can be found in ancient times, it can completely crush the Quartet.

Thinking of this, Lu Bu showed a look of excitement on his face.

"Show me your fire bombs," Lu Bu said.

Lei Bao took out a fire bomb the size of a baby's fist from his bosom and handed it to Lu Bu, saying gently, "General, be careful, this thing will explode once it is hit by gravity, and the damage is not small."

Lu Bu became more and more convinced that this must be the gunpowder he had always dreamed of.

"How did you make this thing?"

"We use sulfur and saltpeter, grind them into powder, and add saponin seeds to burn them together," Lei Bao said.

The more Lu Bu thought about it, the more excited he became, and he said in a high voice, "I am confiscating all your fire bombs in the name of the imperial court, as well as the method of making fire bombs."

Lei Bao hesitated for a moment, then lowered his head and said, "I would like to present the fire bomb and the method of making the fire bomb to the general."

Lu Bu smiled and said, "Okay, this trip is really worthwhile, you go to collect it now.

Of course, I, Lu Bu, will definitely not treat you badly. From today on, you will bring your brothers from the Thunderbolt Hall to join my Lu Bu army, and you will be the general of our newly formed Thunderbolt Army."

Although Thunderbolt Hall has some fame in Jianghu, it is only a small sect with only a few dozen people in total. It did not expect that it would become the establishment of the imperial court in a sudden change.

And Lei Bao became a general.

With an excited look on Lei Bao's face, he bowed and said, "Thank you, General, Lei Bao is willing to serve the Lord."
