Coming to the dark alley under the maple tree and finding the small underground gambling house, Xu Lian took Pei Zhaoxi in.
There were seven or eight gambling tables inside, each surrounded by a large group of gamblers who were shouting and gambling enthusiastically.
"Place your bets, place your bets, bet big, bet small, bet and leave it alone!"
There is a gambling table where they bet on dice, and the most gamblers gather there, and it is the most popular.
Xu Lian pushed through the crowd and approached the gambling table, placing Chen Xuan's body on it. "I'll bet big."
The person shaking the dice recognized at a glance that the person on the table was Chen Xuan. He was so scared that his hand shook and the sieve fell on the table. He looked at Xu Lian in horror, knowing that this was obviously the person who was going to mess things up.
The gamblers were stunned for a moment, then hurriedly retreated.
People at other gambling tables noticed the abnormality here, looked over, and were also frightened. The whole casino fell silent in an instant!
"Master? Master?"
The person shaking the dice called out twice tentatively, and when he realized that Chen Xuan was dead, he turned pale with fright.
He looked at Xu Lian and hurriedly waved his hand to signal, "Sir, this is none of my business. I'm just working here."
Xu Lian did not embarrass him, "Find your boss here."
The person who rolled the dice responded "yes" and immediately asked someone to find the boss.
While waiting, Xu Lian had nothing to do, so he picked up the sieve and started playing with it.
Such a fearless look made the whole place silent, with only the sound of the dice hitting the sieve.
Pei Zhaoxi chuckled, took the sieve from Xu Lian and shook it, demonstrating to him, "It's not the way you shake it, it should be shaken like this."
Xu Lian embraced her, "Zhao Xi is very skilled, it seems that she has been used to this since she was a child."
Pei Zhaoxi said angrily, "Yes, I am used to this. Are you starting to dislike me?"
Xu Lian said, "It was Fang Shaoze before, and now it's Chen Xuan. I don't know who will be next. So many men are competing for Zhaoxi, which shows that my vision is right. How could I dislike her?"
Pei Zhaoxi snorted coldly, "Who asked you to marry me? You are asking for trouble. Who can you blame?"
As she spoke, she couldn't help laughing. She knew in her heart that Xu Lian loved her. "My husband, you must work hard and don't let others take me away from you."
Just as the two were flirting with each other, the owner of the small gambling house came hurriedly. He was a middle-aged man, strong and powerful, walking with a breeze. He must be a warrior without a doubt.
When he saw Chen Xuan's body on the gambling table, he trembled all over, but quickly calmed down. This young man had killed someone and dared to come to his casino. He must be not a good person. If he was not careful, he might also die here.
Think about this.
He cupped his hands and said in a deep voice, "I wonder what this gentleman's name is, and why he treated me so harshly?"
Xu Lian said, "My name is Xu Lian. Your son molested my wife in the martial arts hall, so I killed him. I came here mainly to ask, will you seek revenge on me?"
The gamblers were all stunned. They killed the boss's son and asked the boss if he would take revenge
Even Pei Zhaoxi was a little stunned. Her young man was becoming more and more powerful, which made her happy and was just what she wanted.
The middle-aged man gasped inwardly and felt cold all over. It was obvious that the young man was fearless and knew he had him defeated, so he dared to act like this.
"Since my son was at fault first, he deserves to die. Let's not talk about revenge."
His eyes flashed, and he decided that he would rather die than suffer a loss. He would first send this young man of unknown origin away, find out his background, and then make plans.
Xu Lian took out a five-liang silver ingot and placed it on the gambling table. "If you are reasonable, then it's easy to talk about. I will pay for the funeral expenses. If you are entangled in the future, don't blame me for killing you."
The middle-aged man bowed, his face sullen and he dared not say a word.
Xu Lian took Pei Zhaoxi's hand and walked out.
All the gamblers retreated in a hurry. They were gamblers, but compared to such a desperate criminal... they admitted that there was still a gap.
Walk to the door.
Xu Lian stopped and decided to say a few more words.
"By the way, if you are still unwilling to give up and want to check my background, I suggest you go directly to the county magistrate. After asking the county magistrate, you will be satisfied."
After saying that.
He didn't stay and left with Pei Zhaoxi.
Xu Lian himself was not afraid of any revenge, but mainly for Pei Zhaoxi and Pei Heng's sake to avoid any accidents.
Left the small gambling house.
He climbed onto the horse, stretched out a hand, and pulled Pei Zhaoxi up. This time, he let Pei Zhaoxi sit in the front so that he could say some heartfelt words.
"My husband has established a relationship with the county magistrate?"
Pei Zhaoxi looked back, a little curious, and found him increasingly difficult to understand.
Xu Lian just nodded and didn't explain further.
Pei Zhaoxi is the daughter of the Pei family, one of the three largest families in Luzhu Town. However, due to her limited vision, she does not know the importance of the purple jade badge and thinks that the county magistrate is the second most important person in the entire Pingyang County, second only to the garrison commander.
In fact, the rank of the mining inspectors in each town is higher than that of the county magistrate. After all, the Yi religion cares about the resources for cultivation and does not attach much importance to the position of order manager like the county magistrate, so they can just find anyone to put him in this position.
If we rank the various positions of the Yijiao in Pingyang County.
The guardian of the spiritual tree is definitely the most important one. He not only guards the spiritual tree, but also the entire Pingyang County, and even the entire Pingyang County.
Secondly, there is the Inspector. In terms of rank, the Inspector and the Garrison Commander are on the same level, but it is a nominal position while the other has real power. To put it bluntly, it is a position dedicated to giving orders and a position dedicated to doing practical work... So the Garrison Commander has a higher rank.
Further down, there are the mining inspectors of each town, who control special spiritual objects such as earth meat, stone marrow, etc.
Finally, it is the county magistrate and the mayors of each town who maintain secular order.
Of course, hidden bosses like the White Fox Mine Patrolman from Green Bamboo Town, who is obviously very powerful but plays badly... are not included.
"My brother and I bought a house. Let's go to the house."
Seeing Xu Lian riding his horse aimlessly, Pei Zhaoxi pointed out the way.
When Xu Lian heard this, his heart was burning with excitement. He immediately turned his horse around and headed in the direction she pointed.
Came to a small but exquisite house.
After entering.
Two maids came over.
"The lady is back early."
"This young master?"...
They looked curiously at Xu Lian who was behaving intimately with Pei Zhaoxi.
Xu Lian joked, "I am your young lady's man. Remember what I look like. If your young lady brings other men home in the future, you must kick her out."
Pei Zhaoxi was so angry that he chased after him and beat him.
Xu Lian took Pei Zhaoxi and pulled him into the inner room.
It was noon.
As expected, Xu Lian received a surprise.
