"Lao Mu, you have to go to Zirongtang tomorrow. See if there are any other problems besides the fine materials." Yu Xiaoqiao said while playing the guitar.

Lao Mu wagged his tail and paced back and forth, "Okay, let's find the Nine Golden Cauldron as soon as possible and go back!"

"Li Lingyan has arranged people to investigate, waiting for news." Yu Xiaoqiao smiled faintly.

Lao Mu said "Oh" and walked away humming a little tune.

Yu Xiaoqiao felt uneasy and had a feeling that something big had happened to Si Wenming.

Sure enough, Si Wenming did not come for the next few days.

However, someone was sent to deliver Panax notoginseng and other fine materials, along with a note - I have something to do recently, so I will go south to Liuzhou and return in a month.

After a careful inspection, Lao Mu found that the problem mainly lay in the quality of the fine material. In addition, the fine material was not properly stored in the summer and had also deteriorated.

Yu Xiaoqiao immediately ordered people to dig a cellar in the yard for summer storage.

Yu Xiaomo checked this month's account carefully and found that the price and the actual amount were different by six thousand taels.

In the afternoon, several vicious-looking men came to the store and asked for Lao Liu.

Old Liu lied that he was a relative and led the person out of Zirong Hall.

Yu Xiaoqiao felt something was amiss and followed him.

It turned out that those guys were thugs from Jixiangfang. Lao Liu owed 500 taels of silver in gambling debts and came to collect the debt today.

In the evening, Yu Xiaoqiao wore men's clothes and went to Jixiangfang with Yu Xiaomo.

The gambling house is quite large, with three floors, and is elegantly and uniquely decorated.

As they entered the room, they saw a huge portrait of a man hanging on the wall.

The person in the portrait seems to have been seen before, with a calm and composed smile and the action of lighting a cigarette with a banknote.

Yu Xiaoqiao was a little dazed. His expression and movements were very similar to those of the God of Gamblers, Chow Yun-fat, and it felt like he was in a Macau casino.

Before she could come to her senses, she saw that all the people throwing bones in the field were women.

She slowly tied her silk skirt, half exposing her chest, the unevenness of which made the white lotus look shameful.

Yu Xiaoqiao’s thoughts were churning. Isn’t this the gorgeous and open clothing of the prosperous Tang Dynasty?

I feel even more confused.

Yu Xiaomo gently pushed her down, and she said "hmm" and walked into the gambling house.

The alley was filled with noise and shouting.

Yu Xiaoqiao and Yu Xiaomo mixed into the crowd and walked around the upper and lower floors.

Different floors, different projects, and different bet sizes.

The first layer is dice and cards, the second layer is mahjong and chess, and the third layer is unknown.

The third floor is guarded by a security team and no one is allowed to enter without a membership visiting card.

Yu Xiaoqiao exchanged a few taels of silver for chips and wandered around the gambling tables.

No one noticed that there was a "X-ray-able ladybug" that she had secretly released, following closely.

Yu Xiaoqiao seemed to be on a roll, her luck was as good as a rainbow, her chips were soaring, and she won five hundred taels in half an hour.

She stopped there and went to look for Liu Laosan. When she passed by the woodshed, she heard some noise inside.

Through the half-open door, Yu Xiaoqiao saw that Liu Laosan was tied to a chair with hands and feet tied up, his tearful face covered in blood, and one of his hands was pressed on the table.

"Liu Laosan, if you don't take the money, you must leave one hand behind today."

A big bearded man raised his knife and was about to chop down.

Liu Laosan was so scared that he screamed, his pants were soaked, and he fainted.

"Stop!" Yu Xiaoqiao threw a stone, knocking the knife out of the big man's hand.

When Liu Laosan saw that he was a handsome and noble young man, he immediately stopped being a bandit and bowed politely, "Young Master, do you want to pay off his debt for him?"

Yu Xiaoqiao walked slowly to the water tank, scooped up a bucket of water, poured it directly on Liu Laosan's head, and kicked him twice.

When Liu Laosan woke up and saw Yu Xiaoqiao, he cried out, "Young Master, save me, save me!"

Yu Xiaoqiao kicked Liu Laosan down, shook his robe, and sat on the chair with a big sword and a golden horse. "How much does he owe you?"

"Liu Laosan, I just lost fifty taels, plus the previous five hundred taels, plus interest, the total is six hundred taels." The bearded man bowed and smiled flatteringly.

Yu Xiaoqiao glared at Liu Laosan and smiled faintly, "I'll pay it back for him."

After leaving the woodshed, Yu Xiaoqiao was led to the second-floor hall.

Yu Xiaoqiao curled the corners of her lips slightly, and the "ladybug" had already flown onto the roof.

Yu Xiaoqiao asked: "Who wants to bet with me?"

A middle-aged, weathered man came in, with deep eye sockets, brown eyes, and a three-inch black beard.

Gao Jinfang, deputy abbot, is known as the little gambling king.

Yu Xiaoqiao secretly laughed in her heart: This low-profile version of Gao Jin is really ruining my Brother Fa!

She asked loudly, "Boss Gao, let's bet one thousand taels on this dog's head. If you win, I'll give you the dog's head and pay you another one thousand taels. If I win, the debt will be written off, and this person will never be allowed to enter this door again. How do you think?"

Gao Jinfang smiled faintly and said, "I only accept money, no dog heads!"

"If you want money, you must bring a dog head. Otherwise, I won't pay it back for him, and at most you'll lose an arm and gain a leg!" Yu Xiaoqiao smiled and walked away.

Gao Jinfang stopped him with a smile, "Boss Yu, please stay. There's no need for this. I'm open for business, I can't refuse customers to come in."

"I think, if you can't refuse guests, I can always find a way to prevent you from opening the door." Yu Xiaoqiao curled the corners of her lips and said coldly.

Gao Jinfang paused, "We are opening a business, so naturally if the customers can afford it, I can take it. Come on! How do we play?"

"Odd or even numbers, best of three." Yu Xiaoqiao said quietly.

Gao Jinfang responded, "Okay!"

The woman rolling the dice came gracefully.

She has a bun on her head and wears a simple long skirt, looking soft and elegant.

Yu Xiaoqiao took a closer look and found it to be a soft and elegant Song Dynasty style.

I was even more confused as to who the boss behind this was.

"The dice has landed, and both parties are placing their bets." The woman's soft and sweet voice sounded.

Yu Xiaoqiao saw the numbers "two, four, six" in the dice cup and said, "double."

Gao Jinfang narrowed his eyes slightly, "Then I want to go single."

"Open! Two, four, six, even, player wins!" The woman gently turned over the dice cup and said softly.

Liu Laosan opened his bloodstained mouth and shouted, "We won! We won!"

Those who were watching the fun were also talking about it.

Gao Jinfang opened his eyes wide, looked at Yu Xiaoqiao, and gave a look to the woman rolling the dice.

"In the second game, we need doubles."

The woman rolling the dice quietly pressed the button on the dice cup.

Yu Xiaoqiao saw three new dice placed in the dice cup, changing from "one, three, five, odd" to "two, two, four, even."

Yu Xiaoqiao sneered, "Just now it was single, but now it's a pair. Forget it, I'll just give in and go single!"

Gao Jinfang's expression froze and his fingers moved slightly.

"Open! Two, two, four, double, banker wins!" The woman rolling the dice gently flipped open the dice cup and said in a gentle voice.

Liu Laosan collapsed on the gambling table with his eyes wide open.

Yu Xiaoqiao smiled and said, "This is the last one, I won't give it up!"

The woman throwing the dice shook the dice cup and placed it on the table.

Yu Xiaoqiao gently waved her hand and said with a smile: "Single!"

"Double." Gao Jinfang exchanged glances with the woman rolling the dice and said to Yu Xiaoqiao.

Yu Xiaoqiao saw that three new dice were thrown into the dice cup, and the number changed from "one, one, three, odd" to "two, two, six, even."

Yu Xiaoqiao smiled slightly, stared at Gao Jinfang and the woman throwing the dice, and threw a magnet to the bottom of the table with a "whoosh".

Yu Xiaoqiao smiled and said, "Boss Gao, can you still change it?"

Gao Jinfang smiled and shook his head.

The woman rolling the dice pushed aside the dice cup, and everyone stared at the gambling table with sidelong glances. She was tongue-tied.

"Open! One, three, five, single...player wins."

"We won, we won!" Liu Laosan waved his fists excitedly and shouted happily.

Yu Xiaoqiao bowed and said, "Thank you, Boss Gao, for your help."

Yu Xiaomo was helping Liu Laosan walk out, but they were stopped by several burly men.

Yu Xiaomo looked at them coldly, and the big men couldn't help but shiver and swallowed their saliva.

Yu Xiaoqiao pulled Yu Xiaomo and said with a smile, "Boss Gao, what do you mean?"

"Oh my, who did I think it was? It's Sister Yu!"

A refreshing laugh was heard.

Yu Xiaoqiao turned around and was shocked.

It was Zhuang Simei.
