Joy of Life: I'm really not a saint

When the singing and dancing began, everyone in the private room breathed a sigh of relief.

Fighting two grandmasters wasn't this stressful or strenuous.

Li An thought secretly, and quickly poured a glass of wine and drank it, hiding his embarrassed expression.

Hong Kaijia and Yan Xiaoyi on the side accepted everyone who came and enjoyed it.

On the other hand, Wang Shisanlang is a bit shy and restrained like Li Ang.

At this time, the footsteps of several people were heard outside the door.

Before the people arrive, the sound comes first.

With a fragrance that was stronger than that of any other woman in the room, Hong Xiangyu arrived.

"Hahaha, it turns out that you are here, it's an honor."

"You all should leave. I will personally greet the distinguished guests!"

After saying this, he waved his sleeves and finally did not take his folding fan with him.

All the girls stood up and bowed, saying "I'll take my leave now". Then they left the room one after another.

"What does this mean, Master Hong?"

Hong Kaijia yelled.

"These are just mediocre fans. There will be good stuff to introduce to you later."

Hong Xiangyu explained and said, "Now let's go to another place, it's more interesting and fun!"

Hearing this, Li An's eyebrows jumped. Is there anyone more interesting and fun than a young lady?

“That’s really exciting!”

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 was startled. He was born in the market, so he knew that it was better not to be greedy. Seeing Hong Xiangyu's overly generous behavior, he wondered if this was a trap.

Shisan Wang looked around to see if there was any ambush. He was sure that he could quiet down the place 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!

Chapter 123 All appear.

This bowl of wine only took a dozen seconds, but it earned people hundreds of taels of silver. How could it not drive the people outside crazy?

Li An and others stopped to watch and sometimes placed bets. After a while, the amount of silver in their hands reached a huge amount of five thousand taels.

Everyone present understood what was going on, and when Li Ang placed his bets, they all followed suit. Li Ang ate the meat and they drank the soup, and they made a lot of money, just like picking up money.

The situation was not reversed until another female dealer took over the dice cup from the previous woman.

After Li An placed two bets of 500 taels each and was about to open the dice cup, several people could hear the sound of the dice in the dice cup changing.

They all frowned and looked at the right hand of the new female dealer.

The people who had followed before saw that the money they had won was lost after these two rounds, and they couldn't help but curse their bad luck, thinking that this boy who brought money was no longer effective!

The graceful female dealer smiled charmingly and said, "This young man is really lucky and has a strong hand!"

"It's just that after I arrived, the young master started to show sympathy and care for me."

As she spoke, she chuckled, placed her hands on the table, leaned forward to reveal a large area of ​​snow-white hair, and said, "Thank you again, sir!"

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of other people in the room looked at Li An and changed. This young man had money to please the female dealer, but it was hard for him and others!

Little did they know how much they had won by following Li An's bets several times in a row? If they stopped in time, it would be a great harvest.

Seeing that the customer no longer believed the young man in front of him after being provoked by her words, the female dealer smiled smugly.

"My name is Shen Yu, and I'll call you the pretty dealer if you're kind enough. I just saw your superb gambling skills, so I wanted to meet you. With your skills, why don't you just buy points? I think you will be very lucky and make a lot of money!"

The difficulty of buying points is huge, it is the sum of the points of the three dice in the dice cup. If you can really buy it, without any tricks, it is considered to be extremely lucky, and the odds are naturally amazing.

But now Shen Yu is obviously able to control the dice in the end. How is this way of playing different from giving away money?

"Thank you for your kind words, young lady. I will buy some!"

Li An smiled confidently, and no one could tell what was going on. He approached the gambling table, stood close to it, put one hand on the table, and waited.

Shen Yu grabbed the dice cup with his right hand and shook it, then stopped and pushed it forward after a moment.

"Buy and leave."
