Yamato Tobacco House reopened soon, but it was renamed Fulai Tobacco House and the owner was changed to Pang Heizi.
To the left of the lobby of the opium den is the Fushou area, which is the hall for smoking opium and various private rooms. To the right of the lobby is the casino.
It is common for many people to gamble a few hands while smoking happily, or to take a few puffs of cigarettes while gambling happily. Even those who are so poor that they have to sell their children, as long as they have some money, they will come here.
In the casino hall, Lu Ming was throwing chips casually, wondering when would be the right time to completely ban opiates in Nanping.
Moreover, if Gao Baoshan or Sun Chonggu were to propose it, some clever arrangements would be needed.
I didn't go to the VIP room because I didn't come here to gamble, but to take a look at the situation here.
In addition, it also allows Grandma Tuolong to have some fun.
Grandma Tuolong likes gambling. She became addicted to it since her youth and cannot live without it.
But now that he's with me, I haven't been to the casino for a long, long time.
Now, looking at the old lady in silk clothes sitting very close to him, smoking a pipe and talking noisily, Lu Ming smiled.
"This time, what do you two say, what are you betting on?" Lu Ming asked with a smile Erika and Xueruo who were sitting next to him.
Erika was wearing a light blue kimono. Although she was wearing a flowered hat and a black veil that covered her beautiful face, her temperament still made the whole world turn into black and white, with only her as a touch of color.
Xueruo, who was sitting next to her, was wearing a small snow-white kimono. She looked like an extension of the colorful world, or the most beautiful snow lotus in the black and white world.
Therefore, although Lu Ming did not clear the area, there was no one near him, Erika, and Xueruo. While other places were crowded and noisy, there was a large empty space around Lu Ming and the other two.
Lu Ming now regrets it a little. It was too ostentatious. In this case, it would be better to ask for a VIP box.
But, these two little ones really had a lot of fun.
Each time I bet a dime, I feel the joy of risking a small amount for a big gain. Anyone who is human can probably feel it. Even these two innocent little ones can obviously understand it.
"It's Erika's turn now. You're still not talking, right? Then the old rules apply. I'll see how many times you blink within 20 seconds. If you blink once, I'll buy the big one. If you blink twice, I'll buy the small one. If you blink three times, I'll buy the single one. If you blink four times, I'll buy the double one. If you don't blink or it's more than five times, damn it, I'll buy the leopard one!"
"Ah, no..." Erika quickly shook her head. She was afraid that if she blinked the wrong number of times, this terrible man would lose money, but if he won, she would be very happy.
Xueruo over there was biting her fingers nervously. Her master told her to clench her fists and play rock-paper-scissors with him, paper-paper-scissors, etc. Each had its own opinion on what to buy. Just now, she had caused her master to lose a chip.
"The countdown has begun..." Lu Ming looked at Erika and smiled, "I'm counting!"
Erika was so flustered that she clenched her snow-white hands, her body almost stiff with nervousness.
Lu Ming suddenly frowned and turned his head to the side.
A figure who was slowly approaching this side immediately walked up quickly, "Oh, you, you are here?..." The middle-aged man with a flattering face was Ding Wanjun's father Ding Mocun.
Lu Ming shook his head inwardly. He was having a great time, but someone came to spoil his fun.
"Commander, I, I want to report..." Ding Mo Cun gritted his teeth, "A gangster named Li Tieya, it was him who forced our club to hang the Japanese flag. Now he has become the security guard on the second floor of the casino here. He likes to serve the Japanese and even recognized a Japanese as his godfather..." When he said this, Ding Mo Cun's face suddenly turned pale, and his eyes quickly moved away from Erika and Xueruo.
Lu Ming sneered in his heart, thinking that Ding Mocun must have heard some rumors that he didn't like Japanese people or something.
But when he complained to himself, he suddenly realized that all the beauties around him, young and old, were wearing Japanese clothes.
"Why is your face swollen? What happened?" Lu Ming looked at Ding Mocun and asked, smiling: "It looks like a new injury. Did Li Tieya just beat you up?"
Ding Mocun's face turned even paler. He was so angry about being beaten just now, and suddenly he saw this big shot here. He remembered some rumors and came to report it. However, he didn't expect that his thoughts could not be hidden from others. Who was the person opposite? Maybe it was because his daughter was there that day and smiled at him. Now he dared to get close to this kind of devil. He really didn't want to die.
"Yes..." Ding Mocun whispered, "I have never been willing to smoke the box of cigarettes you gave me as a reward that day, so I brought it here today. I wanted to offer Li Tieya a cigarette when I saw him, but that bastard..." He slapped himself in the face, "I deserve to be beaten. I offered that guy a cigarette, but he insisted that I stole the cigarette, not only did he snatch it away, he also gave me an electric gun, and when he kicked me, he said that if I didn't behave myself, I would be sent to the military police."
Lu Ming nodded. Judging from what this guy said now, he probably wouldn’t dare to tell a lie.
Li Tieya? I don’t know who he is, but I think he is a big gangster. He used to follow Chen Dahe and now he is attached to Pang Heiyi.
It seems that they have a close relationship with the Japanese, and they use the name of the gendarmerie to scare people.
"Go find him and ask him to buy you a Camel brand as an apology. Just tell him that it was someone from the Secret Service who said that. If he has any complaints, tell him to go to Room 2 to find someone from the Secret Service."
Lu Ming spoke and made a gesture.
When Ding Mocun approached, the guard captain Chang Lei, who had also come over and stood next to Lu Ming, understood and waved to one of his men to give him some instructions.
At this time, Lu Ming had already walked out with two beautiful female companions, one big and one small, and the entourage who were scattered among the gamblers also followed.
Granny Tuolong glanced at the chips on the table reluctantly and shouted for the bill.
…
When we returned to No. 18 Fengshun Lane, the news had already spread that Li Tieya had been arrested for uttering rude words to his guards who stayed in Room 2.
Although he only met him in the name of an ordinary staff member of the Secret Service to see if he could suppress him, one can imagine how arrogant Li Tieya was.
In less than a minute, Tang Cai Ni called.
"The signboard of the Bureau of Secrets is not as well-known as that of the Military Police. Yamato Tobacco House is still Yamato Tobacco House." Lu Ming smiled.
"Commander, it's my fault for not doing my job well! Pang Heizi won't see the sun tomorrow. His Yishuang was arranged by me and is completely capable of taking over." There was a sinister murderous intent in Tang Cai Ni's tone, and she was filled with shame and indignation.
Lu Ming was stunned for a moment, wanting to say something, but finally nodded: "Then I'll wait and see."
In fact, when Pang Heizi first took over, he simply recruited a few big gangsters under Chen Dahe.
Among them, this big gangster named Li Tieya has a Japanese godfather, and Li Tieya himself is proud of it, that's all.
As luck would have it, I found out about it.
The result is that Pang Heizi will be eliminated.
In fact, judging from Tang Cai Ni's arrangement, it was only a matter of time before the Secret Service agent who had devoted herself to becoming Pang Heizi's wife replaced Pang Heizi, but it happened earlier now.
If I tell Tang Caini to let it go now, it will be totally inconsistent with the style of the Bureau of Secrets, and it will also be inconsistent with my own personality.
But think about it, the role I am playing now and what I want to pursue are completely opposite.
Fortunately, he played the role of Commissioner Zhang, who showed his sinister fangs in the darkness, while General Lu was leading the way to the light.
However, isn't it hypocritical to have Commissioner Zhang do some things that General Lu cannot do
The only consolation is that a gangster like Pang Heizi deserves to be executed, so there is no need to feel burdened by his conscience.
