Chapter 224 Good Luck
The next moment, the two appeared in the town's largest brothel - Feihualou. Yao Jia didn't believe that those officers and soldiers could close down the brothel.
"walk into……"
Gu Yi grabbed him tightly and said, "Pavilion Master, you can't go in and play. If the young master knew that you used the money given by your subordinates to visit the brothel, he would definitely beat your subordinates to death."
Yao Jia stopped, a sly look flashed in her eyes, "If you don't tell me and I don't tell you, how will your young master know?"
Gu Yi shook his head, "No, I cannot let you in."
Yao Jia was a little impatient, "Hey, why are you so long-winded? I'm going to make money, not to spend it."
Gu Yiyi was even more afraid to let go after hearing this, "Pavilion Master, you can't sell it..."
Hearing this, Yao Jia kicked him to the ground and said, "I'm selling you a big head ghost. I'm going in here to gamble, you idiot."
He no longer paid attention to Gu Yi on the ground and stepped straight in.
Gu Yi was kicked by Yao Jia, but he didn't dare to complain at all. He quickly got up from the ground and chased in.
Inside Feihua Tower, there are carved beams and painted pillars, the sound of stringed instruments is endless, beauties of all kinds are walking around, and bursts of sweet laughter can be heard from time to time.
As soon as Yao Jia and the other entered the house, an old procuress with heavy makeup came up to greet them and asked with a smile, "Is this your first time here? The girls and gentlemen here are all the best in town. I guarantee that you will be satisfied."
Yao Jia coughed lightly and said, "We are not here to look for beauties, we are here to...try our luck."
The madam was stunned at first, but immediately understood and led the two to the backyard.
After walking through the long corridor, they arrived in front of a luxuriously decorated courtyard. The madam opened the door and said, "Come in, both of you."
The gambling house was filled with smoke. A huge gambling table in the middle was crowded with people. Chips of various colors were pushed back and forth on the table, making it dizzying to look at.
Yao Jia walked to the table and saw the dealer shaking the dice in his hand and shouting loudly.
"Buy it and leave it, buy it and leave it, watch carefully, it's open..."
With a "pop" sound, the dice cup was slammed down on the table, and everyone placed their bets.
Yao Jia looked at the dice on the table, stretched out her fingers and tapped them lightly on the table, then took out a few silver coins from her arms and bet on the word "big".
The dealer opened the dice cup and it was indeed a "big" one.
Everyone exclaimed and looked at Yao Jia.
The Zhuang family looked at Yao Jia, with a hint of admiration in their eyes, "This girl is an expert."
Yao Jia smiled proudly, took back the chips he had won, and placed another bet.
In the next few rounds, Yao Jia won almost every bet and soon won most of the chips on the table.
Seeing that he had almost won, he put away some of the chips, pulled Gu Yi over and asked him to gamble twice.
Gu Yiyi was confused and whispered, "Master, I don't know how to do it."
Yao Jia naturally knew that he wouldn't do that, but he had won too much and was afraid it would be difficult for him to leave. No one would object if he lost a few times before leaving.
"Just follow your heart. If you win, it's yours. If you lose, it's mine."
Gu Yi finally felt relieved. He imitated what Yao Jia had done just now, knocked on the table with his hand, and placed a few random bets.
Who knows how many bets you place and how many you win.
Yao Jia was stunned.
He pulled Gu Yi and said, "That's enough. Hurry up and lose two rounds so we can leave."
Gu Yi was in high spirits and didn't want to listen. He even wanted to place a bet, but was stopped by Yao Jia.
"Go down the other side."
Gu Yi followed his advice, but when the stock market opened, he lost.
Gu Yi: …………
"Master, you did this on purpose."
Yao Jia laughed, "Small gambling can make you happy, but big gambling can hurt your body. If you continue gambling, be careful or you won't be able to leave."
Gu Yi then realized that he had been too proud of himself just now. If he continued like this and took advantage of the gambling house, he might get into trouble.
Just as I exchanged the chips for silver, I heard a scream from outside.
"Killed——"
Then someone rushed in and said to everyone, "Put your things away quickly. Someone has died in the reception building ahead. The police will be here soon. Everyone, get out of the way quickly."
Yao Jia and Gu Yi did not dare to delay. They collected the money and quickly left the backyard with everyone else.
Just as I was about to follow the crowd out, I saw a group of soldiers rushing in from outside, including a familiar figure.
Yao Jia was shocked and turned back immediately.
"Master, we're going the wrong direction. The main gate is over there."
Yao Jia pulled Gu Yi back to the backyard and said as they walked, "Of course I know, but the officer leading the way is your son. If you are not afraid of him seeing you, just go out."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yi's legs went weak. If his master knew that he came here and brought Pavilion Master Nangong here, he would break his legs even if he didn't come to visit the brothel.
Seeing his useless look, Yao Jia shook her head helplessly and said, "What are you afraid of? Let's leave through the backyard wall before he finds us."
When she came in, she paid special attention to the escape route.
He led Gu Yi out of the backyard, climbed over the wall, and walked quickly until he was sure that there were no pursuers behind him.
Yao Jia divided the money she won into two parts, one for Gu Yi and one for herself.
Gu Yi took the white silver and banknotes and counted them. There were more than 200 taels. He couldn't believe it. "Master, these... are all for me?"
Yao Jia nodded, "Of course it's for you, you deserve it."
Gu Yi was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes, "Pavilion Master, you are much more generous than my young master."
Yao Jia: …………
"It's still early, let's go buy some things before we go."
“Naturally, naturally…”
Gu Yi put the silver into his purse, but he couldn't fit it in.
Yao Jia was different. The bag she prepared was one foot in diameter, and there was still some space left after filling it.
Gu Yi was stunned. She was indeed the woman who could win over his young master. She was smart and calculating. His young master had to work harder and do better. His wealth and glory for the rest of his life depended on her.
Gu Xiyan, who was catching the murderer in a brothel, suddenly felt a chill all over his body and sneezed twice for no apparent reason.
The personal soldier beside him immediately asked with concern: "General, have you caught a cold?"
Gu Xiyan waved his hand, "It's okay, my nose is just a little itchy."
He continued to stare at the guest who was stabbed in the throat by a sword in the red mandarin duck tent and asked the trembling old procuress beside him.
"Do you know the identity of the deceased?"
The madam trembled and said, "I...I don't know. I only know that his last name is Li and he is a frequent visitor here."
Gu Xiyan frowned and asked again: "Did he tell me where he was from? Does he have any relatives at home?"
The madam shook her head blankly, "I don't know. I only know that he is very generous and always books the whole place. I have never seen him talk to anyone else."
Gu Xiyan asked a few more questions, but the madam didn't know the answers to any of them.
Helplessly, they had to take the body back first, let the coroner perform an autopsy, and then send someone to investigate the identity of the deceased.
Just as he was about to leave, a drop of blood dripped from above and landed on the tip of his shoe.
Gu Xiyan did not stop, but looked upwards along the path of the blood, and saw a piece of clothes hanging on the beam.
With an idea in mind, he winked at the other soldiers.
"It seems that there is nothing unusual here. Let's go and take a look nearby."
After everyone had evacuated, Gu Xiyan flew up.
A long sword was instantly across his neck.
Gu Xiyan curled her lips, reached out to move the sharp sword away from her neck, and turned her head to look at the handsome man in front of her with sharp eyes.
"Ye Sinan, you really are a stubborn person!"
