When Zhang Feng heard that, he immediately felt that something was wrong.
No wonder!
That's what I thought.
Usually, the house next door was like a haunted house. Why did it suddenly become like this?
Zhang Feng couldn't help but come forward and ask, "Old He, I just found out that there was someone next door in the middle of the night a few days ago. Do you think the person next door was here before or recently?"
Old He scratched his head, picked up a lamb bone, and said while chewing, "Now that you mention it, I also thought of it. This house used to belong to a rich family. I don't know what happened, but they broke the law and were chased out of Chang 'an City. No one has lived here for about five years!"
"However, about half a month ago, there was a black man who smelled of rank odor in front of this house. He even squatted there for a long time. Then, he saw people carrying out large carts of soil from time to time. Oh right, Gou 'zi and the others even dug out a few copper coins from the soil!"
"I heard that the pile of soil under the old willow tree by the Qingshui River outside Chang 'an City was from this house. There weren't many people. I even saw some Huzi and Huzi. They all went in when the sky was dark."
"Oh right!"
Old He patted his head and scratched his sweat towel with his big oily hand. He said, "One night, I went to a funeral banquet. I had nothing to do at night, so I brought food to my wife. I also saw a Turkic man wearing jewelry go in. I was drunk at that time, so I didn't pay attention to it. If you didn't mention it, I would have forgotten."
He said that it was unintentional.
But Zhang Feng was shocked.
Damn it.
What was this?
This damn Turkic man was acting like a spy beside Lao Tzu. Damn it!
How could this be?
Damn it …
Seeing Zhang Feng's gloomy face, Old He didn't say anything.
Old He stopped talking and went forward to ask, "What's wrong? Have you been there before?"
"What do you mean?"
Old He glanced at Zhang Feng meaningfully.
"So what if I've been there? I'm a man. What's the big deal about playing around?"
"You … really haven't been there?"
Old He asked in a low voice.
Zhang Feng's head was as white as a rattle drum.
"No! Never been there! Why would I go there? If I want to go, I'll go to those big gambling houses! That would be more in line with our identity. But Old He, have you heard what's inside? Why does it always open after the curfew? This doesn't make sense! "
There was something strange about this gambling house!
Generally, the gambling houses in Chang 'an City were set up by the government. There were also black market merchants, but basically, they were all registered in the government office. However, the one next to his was obviously not the case.
Which legitimate casino would open in the middle of the night?
This isn't right!
"You don't know?"
Seeing Zhang Feng like this, Old Ho confirmed that he didn't go next door. He then drank a bowl of wine and said, "Here! It seems like you haven't been there before. I'm relieved! "
"You don't know, but a butcher from Ping An Fang went in a few days ago. On the second day, someone found that three of his fingers were missing!"
"And I heard that not only did he lose his shop overnight, but he also owed a huge debt! That gambling house is set up for the rich. Many rich people in the city have visited it before. I heard that the gambling house doesn't accept much money. Instead, it has a special liking for food! "
"Sigh! What kind of world is this? The owner of the gambling house doesn't like money, but wants food instead? Although the price of food in Chang 'an City is unusually high recently, it doesn't make sense to play like this, right? If the government finds out about this, he'll be beheaded sooner or later! "
"But even so, there are still people who want to die. Do you know why?"
Old He asked Zhang Feng with a sly face.
Zhang Feng's face was extremely gloomy.
Old He pursed his lips. He was extremely disgusted with Zhang Feng, who didn't know anything.
"There's a woman in there!"
"I heard from the butcher that there's a cave under the gambling house. The decoration there is similar to that of a palace! And there are a dozen or so Hu ladies and women from the Central Plains. They're so beautiful that they look like they came out of a painting. They're even prettier than the top hostesses in Chang 'an City's top Cuiyun Restaurant! "
"You know Cuiyun Restaurant, right? It was said that the top hostess, Big Shot, was only good enough to serve tea and water wherever she went! Tsk tsk! I don't know which rich family owns it. If you lose money, not only will you chop off your fingers, but you'll also have to pay your debt with food. If you win, you'll get a free night's sleep. That's … "
Old He seemed to be drunk. …
He spoke eloquently as if it was one of the biggest regrets of his life that he had never been in there.
However, Zhang Feng didn't think so when he heard it.
Now, everyone in Chang 'an City knew that the imperial palace had issued an imperial edict. Whoever dared to embezzle food would have his or her entire family executed!
However, the mysterious man next door not only wanted to store food, but he also seemed to be dragging all the rich families in Chang 'an City into the water. That was interesting. …
The Turks.
Moreover, they were stirring up trouble here at such a sensitive time.
This was a big move!
No wonder Lao Tzu could hear that voice every day. F * ck.
Zhang Feng secretly spat.
He looked at Old He and said, "Old He, do you believe me?"
"Yes!"
"Then don't do anything for now. I'll pay for the losses. I think it won't be peaceful here in the near future!"
"…"
