From a son-in-law to a favorite of the empress

There is a large slum area in the south of Lin'an Prefecture. At night, the lights are off and it is dark.

The alleys here are narrow, garbage is everywhere, wild dogs and cats are running around, and the disgusting stench is always lingering. Almost no one is willing to set foot in this area, even the residents will not choose to go out at night.

"The officials don't want to come."

Lord Wang Ang said in a deep voice: "Especially at night, there are many bandits, and they are mixed with good and bad people. They want everyone. They will be stabbed for no reason on the way, and the money will be gone in a moment."

"This is a historical problem. It has been many years. The forces are intertwined and the upper management is in place, so almost no one is willing to care."

"The previous Lin'an prefect wanted to remove this cancer, but he received a transfer order before he took action."

"It is said that the boss of the gambling house used silver and found a big man."

Zhou Yuan's face was gloomy, and he said slowly: "Is it true? People come here to gamble? To be honest, there is no security here at all. "

Lord Wang Ang laughed and said, "You are wrong. The gambling house protects big customers very well. It guarantees that you can come with money and leave with money. It is a long-term business."

"In essence, those who come here to gamble are not dignitaries, but some rich people doing black business."

"For example, smugglers, such as bandit leaders in mountain villages, such as big figures with sensitive identities."

Speaking of this, he jumped over a puddle, kicked a stone on the road casually, and knocked out a wild dog.

But the sound of dogs barking still came from all around, and in this dark alley, the sound seemed so abrupt.

Zhou Yuan said, "The bandit leader is here too?"

Wang Ang smiled and said, "Being a bandit leader is also for a better life. You can't stay out of the city all the time, right? You can go to the city every ten days or half a month to have some fun, but due to your status, you are not suitable for those bright places, so you have to come to the underground gambling house."

"For example, the commanders of the garrison camp have issued a clear ban on gambling, so they dare not go anywhere else, so they come here."

Zhou Yuan narrowed his eyes and said, "The underground gambling house is indeed complicated. This probably means that in addition to the gambling house, there are other derivative services, right?"

"Of course!"

Wang Ang sighed and said, "Of course the casino will try every means to make money, so there must be delicious food and women, but the price is extremely expensive."

"But the people in the gambling house are so eager to win and lose that they don't care about the price. They just want to vent."

The two chatted casually and soon passed through the alley.

Four or five people suddenly appeared in front of them, wearing headscarves and covering their faces, blocking the way of Zhou Yuan and the others.

Wang Ang glanced at Zhou Yuan and said, "This may be a highway robbery, or it may be someone from the gambling house. We are strangers and will always encounter such things."

After speaking, he looked at the people in front and said lightly, "Brothers, put away the knives in your hands. The two of us are going to the gambling house to gamble. Don't offend anyone."

The leading strong man snorted, but still put away the knife and said coldly, "Where are you from? Who introduced you here?"

Zhou Yuan said, "I am from Yunzhou. I just arrived in Lin'an Prefecture not long ago. Qin San introduced me here. He said that the gambling house here can afford to lose, so I came here."

"If you are from the gambling house, lead the way quickly. If you are a robber, I advise you to get out quickly and don't make me angry."

This kind of jargon is useful at this time. Four or five men in black looked at each other, and the leader immediately said, "Follow me."

Several people bypassed the remote path and soon saw the huge manor hidden in the forest.

More than a dozen people stood at the door, with several big wolfhounds on leashes, looking around with a fierce look.

Zhou Yuan and others approached, and the leader said in a deep voice: "Qin San introduced it, let me confirm it."

The gatekeeper nodded and said: "You two, follow me."

Zhou Yuan and Wang Ang looked at each other, shook their heads helplessly, and followed slowly in.

Arriving here was like a different world, with bright lights, luxurious decorations, and faint noises.

Approaching all the way, when he arrived at the door of the inner hall, Zhou Yuan saw Qin San who was called over.

Qin San was so impressed with Zhou Yuan that he immediately changed color and said: "You are here!"

The other people nodded to each other, indicating that there was no problem with the person.

The guard said directly: "My two masters, I apologize for the offense. Welcome to the rich gambling house. Qin San, take the two masters in and accompany them well!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Qin San hurriedly smiled, and his face became serious after the others left.

"Sir! You really dare to come here!"

He hurriedly said: "You are a decent person after all. How many people can get good things by coming here!"

Wang Ang looked at Zhou Yuan with a confused face.

Zhou Yuan spread his hands and said: "On the way to Lin'an Prefecture, if you encounter him robbing on the road, just admit it.I know him."

Wang Ang looked at Qin San, gave him a thumbs up, and said, "Good guy, you dare to rob him, you are really not afraid of losing your head!"

Attacking Jinyiwei without reason can almost be considered as rebellion, this is the special thing.

Qin San certainly didn't know so much, just lowered his voice and said, "What's your surname? Are you here to find me?"

Zhou Yuan said, "My surname is Zhou, and this big brother's surname is Wang. I came here to find you and to have some fun."

"Okay!"

Qin San immediately bent down and said, "Uncle Zhou, Uncle Wang, please! "

Walking through the iron gate and into the bunker-like manor, a huge noise suddenly came.

Countless lights hit their faces, and the two bumpkins were stunned.

How to describe the scene in front of him? Zhou Yuan could only describe it as magnificent.

It was like walking into a palace, with golden light everywhere, silver and gold piled up on the table, and women in revealing clothes roaming among them. Laughter, scolding, complaints, and sighs all filled this vast world.

This hall is as big as half a football field, and all kinds of gambling methods are available.

Two tall women came up immediately, more professional than brothel girls, and took Zhou Yuan's arms and greeted him delicately.

Zhou Yuan took a deep breath, took out five silver bills directly, and said: "Go and exchange them for gold for me! "

Qin San took a look and almost popped his eyes out.

Five thousand taels!

Five thousand taels! What a concept! The annual salary of the prefect of Lin'an is only eight hundred taels.

Even for the gambling house that gets rich quickly, there are very few big customers who can take out five thousand taels at a time.

Lord Wang Ang couldn't help it and whispered: "Why don't you give me the money? Let's go back directly!"

This guy's eyes were red.

Zhou Yuan didn't pretend to be a big shot on purpose, but the matter in Yunzhou had a great impact on him. He must seize the opportunity this time. Compared with the disaster, five thousand taels of silver is nothing.

"Bring the most beautiful woman to me! I want to get rich today! "

As Zhou Yuan roared, plates of gold were brought up, and everyone began to cheer.

Soon, two stunning women came in, smiling sweetly.

Zhou Yuan also experienced the fun of being rich.

That night, he was obsessed with gambling. He first won four or five thousand taels, but later lost everything.

So he cursed and took the beauty to the best room to rest.

He was drunk, and his pupils shrank the moment he closed the door.

He noticed that the wall had ears. Although the other party's breathing was very light, Zhou Yuan, who was increasingly powerful, still felt it.

So he continued to act!

"Beauty! Today I lost money, so I have to deal with you! Hahahaha! "

Accompanied by Zhou Yuan's laughter, a woman's screams suddenly came from the room, as if someone was being beaten.

Outside the room, a thin voice frowned and slowly left.

About an hour later, Zhou Yuan finally stood up comfortably and said lightly: "Let me take a shower."

The woman's face was covered with tears and bruises, but she could only serve Zhou Yuan timidly.

Until this moment, Zhou Yuan said lightly: "From your accent, you are from the north, from Shandong and Hebei."

As soon as these words came out, the woman's color changed immediately.
