The old man looked at Wu San's back and said, "Don't worry, I will set up a stall here to sell my crafts, and I won't cause you any trouble."
Without listening to what they said next, Su Ningxin and Chu Jihan had already packed up their things and pushed the car away.
After returning home, the two of them did not sit idle. Instead, they went to the place where the imperial envoy sent by the emperor to investigate the case lived.
This imperial envoy Su Ningxin was not familiar with. He should have been promoted by the emperor after he cleaned up the court in the past few years. However, since he was sent here by the emperor, his ability should be no problem.
I didn't say anything more to him, I just asked him to investigate the Zhang family in Yangzhou. They were a middle-class family in Yangzhou, the kind that was less than above and more than below.
The imperial envoy was asked to investigate this family because the person behind the casino they discovered today was Zhang.
Places like casinos and brothels must have the support of high-ranking officials and dignitaries before they can be opened. Otherwise, just exploitation by officers and soldiers and trouble by local gangsters will prevent them from opening.
The person behind this casino is the Zhang family. It is impossible for them to be completely unaware of the affairs of Jingshao Pavilion.
Now Su Ningxin somewhat believed that the head of the Mo family really didn't know where the Jingshao Pavilion was hidden. The Zhang family was among the names he gave Su Ningxin that were related to the Jingshao Pavilion.
If he had the intention to conceal the location of Jingsha Pavilion, then he would not let the Zhang family appear on the list. After all, it was just a small and inconspicuous family. Even if he didn't write it, no one would notice it.
The next day, Su Ningxin and Chu Jihan went to the casino yesterday disguised as wealthy businessmen passing through Yangzhou.
If they were in the capital, they would definitely dress up as young men from aristocratic families. After all, a foreigner dressing up can easily attract others' attention.
However, compared to the capital, Yangzhou has far fewer officials and aristocratic families. Everyone in the city has met the famous young masters, and if an unknown one appears suddenly, it is more likely to arouse suspicion.
Moreover, the two of them are not familiar with Yangzhou's customs and customs. If someone really mentions it, it may be exposed. They can pretend to be a passing businessman and have an excuse to pass by.
The two people attracted everyone's attention as soon as they entered the casino. After all, they were strangers, so others couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Since Su Ningxin and Chu Jihan didn't care about such small scenes, and looked calm and unconcerned no matter how they looked at it, those people couldn't see anything and so they turned away and focused on the gambling table.
The two of them were just like ordinary businessmen, chatting and placing bets, but they didn't shout like the gamblers around them, and they looked very well-educated.
After playing for a while, they found no traces of martial arts practice on the dealer's body, so they found an excuse to wander around the casino, but unfortunately they found nothing.
After spinning around in vain, Su Ningxin whispered to Chu Jihan, "How about we lure them out?"
"We can't scare the snake away." Chu Jihan said with some disapproval.
Su Ningxin made a confident expression, "Don't worry, we won't alarm them."
Chu Jihan didn't know what Su Ningxin planned to do, and he was worried that she would cause some trouble, so he kept following her.
Su Ningxin randomly found a gambling table to place her bets, and then used her hair to seamlessly change the points to the points she wanted before the dealer opened the points.
The casino was dark, her hair was very thin, and she moved very quickly, so no one could notice her movements.
The points she opened had no fixed pattern, sometimes they were high and sometimes they were small, and she also lost and won. However, Chu Jihan soon discovered that the points she played were random bets, and the purpose of controlling the points was to let them away. Not far away a middle-aged man won money.
There was nothing unusual about the man. He was dressed like the most ordinary guy from a poor family who still gambles.
Staring at the man's face, Chu Jihan suddenly remembered where he had seen this man. Wasn't he the man who was thrown out at the entrance of the gambling house yesterday? His name seemed to be Wu San.
While looking at Wu San with his peripheral vision, Chu Jihan didn't forget to talk to Su Ningxin. His voice was neither too loud nor too soft. He didn't deliberately make it loud enough to be heard, nor did he whisper like he was talking about something secret. He bets big and small in gambling, and also discusses business matters. He seems to be the most normal businessman.
Just when they were talking about the price of cotton, they suddenly saw the dealer who was shaking the dice tapping his little finger and was about to open the bamboo tube. Ordinary people would definitely not be able to hear it, but Su Ningxin and Chu Jihan were not ordinary people. People, their hearing is already amazing, and when they leave, they can hear the sound of the sieve rolling under the bamboo tube.
Su Ningxin judged the size of the dice to be slightly different when the faces with different numbers hit the table. After hearing the number under the bamboo tube, she quickly changed it to the number she wanted with her hair.
Now the dealer probably feels that Wu San has won too much, so he wants to do something to prevent the dealer from losing money.
Su Ningxin had been waiting for this moment. Naturally, she would not let the dealer get his wish and changed the points again before opening the points. The dealer was obviously stunned for a moment when he saw the points, but he had also experienced storms and recovered immediately. It was normal and was not noticed by the gamblers at the table.
The banker then tried a few more times, but still failed every time. This made him look deeply at Wu San, who was overwhelmed with joy, but he couldn't see how the other party was able to move his hands or feet.
"Quick, quick, quick, dealer, what are you doing standing there, hurry up and start the next game?" The gamblers gathered around the gambling table urged the dealer.
The banker, on the other hand, handed over his hands and said, "Sorry, I'm in a hurry. I'll go to the hut first and let someone else take my place for a while."
Amid everyone's complaints, the dealer left the gaming table and went to the back. Soon after, an expressionless man came over to shake the dice.
Excellent martial arts!
This thought flashed through the minds of Su Ningxin and Chu Jihan at the same time. They could tell from the opponent's steps that the opponent's martial arts was definitely not weak. Finally, the person they were waiting for was here.
The man didn't seem to be good at talking, and he started rolling the dice without saying anything unnecessary. The gambler's enthusiasm was not dampened by the man's cold face, and he still yelled about big and small.
After knowing that the other party's martial arts was very good, Su Ningxin didn't plan to take action again. The other party was not the banker who didn't know martial arts just now. If he made any moves, he would most likely notice it.
I don’t know if Wu San’s luck got better. The cold-faced man played two games and Wu San won money. In these two games, he won by luck. It wasn’t until the man started to play tricks that Wu San started to lose money.
Su Ningxin secretly winked at Chu Jihan, and the two of them left the gambling house after complaining for a while about how they only lost money.
