Dreaming back to the Tang Dynasty, I was working as a detective in Chang'an

When Li Zixing died, he said: "Go find Wang Chuangbei!"

There is also the bronze plaque with "Fengtang" written on it. These are the clues we have found now. We have a hunch that the truth may not be far away from us.

We found Poppy, who is the closest person to Li Zixing. He may be able to know Wang Chuangbei.

Poppy has now regained her composure. She straightened her messy hair and said with a tired look on her face:

"My man is dead. I also want to know who killed him. If you have any questions, please tell me."

"Who is Wang Chuangbei?"

Poppy heard this and was stunned for a moment and said:

"He is a policeman in the Six Gates of Chang'an and one of the largest shareholders of our Youju. Although he is from the imperial court, he also established Yong'an Hall privately, and there are multiple branches under the hall. Each branch has The hall master will set up a gambling house in the place where he is, under the direct jurisdiction of Wang Chuangbei, so no matter how big the trouble is, he can easily settle it."

"Your husband was killed by people in Yong'an Hall. Look at this."

As I said that, I took out the bronze medal from my arms and handed it to the poppy.

She took it in her hand, looked at it carefully, and said, "In addition to opening a gambling house, Yong'an Hall also established four special halls, the main hall, the wind hall, the executive hall, and the yu hall."

"What are these for?"

"Fengtang is responsible for inquiring about information, both openly and under the surface. There is nothing they don't know. Zhitang is responsible for executing all the orders of the subordinates, and Yutang is responsible for formulating rules and regulations."

"Do you know Deng Shaoxing?"

"I've never heard of that name."

"Has your husband done anything unusual these days?"

"It's quite normal. It's just that when he was drinking tea yesterday, he said, 'Whatever is supposed to come will come.' I asked him what was wrong, and he said it was nothing."

As of now, there are three people related to this case, Li Zixing, Wang Chuangbei, and Deng Shaoxing.

Before Li Zixing died, he asked us to find Wang Chuangbei. We also found Fengtang's bronze medal in the alley. All suspicions point to Wang Chuangbei. He is the key to this case. Finding him may make things clear.

Fatty and I rushed back to Chang'an overnight.

The Six Gates were established in the early Tang Dynasty. In order to completely solve the problem of the remnants of the peasant uprising in the late Sui Dynasty and the problems of green forest tyrants in various places, the Ministry of Punishment established the "Six Gates" secret training base.

Later, the formalization of government affairs in the Tang Dynasty gradually matured, and the six gates were dismantled, but the organization has always been there. Although they no longer receive salaries, they have their own channels for survival.

They are martial artists, spies, detectives, and killers all in one, specializing in major cases and using cruel methods.

Wang Chuangbei is not very famous in Liumen, but the Yong'an Tang he opened has become famous in the past ten years. This is an institution that specializes in opening gambling houses to make money. It has opened large and small gambling houses in Shaanxi. There are hundreds of gambling houses, and there are also a few in Shanxi and Henan, forming a huge system using gambling as a medium.

Our chances of meeting Wang Chuangbei are almost zero.

I heard that no one knew where he was, and he was usually low-key and reclusive, and no one knew where he lived.

The only way to find Wang Chuangbei now is to use the same trick that led to Li Zixing, the fat man's gambling skills.

Wang Chuangbei's gambling house in Chang'an is located in Pingkangfang, which is also the largest casino in Chang'an, called Yonglefang.

Yonglefang is so big that it occupies the longest street in Pingkangfang. It is noisy and lively every night.

I had already learned Fatty's gambling skills when I got together with friends, and it was no problem when I came to Yonglefang. In less than half an hour, the chips on Fatty's table had piled up into a mountain, and the dealer couldn't sit still.

There is a rule in Yongle Square, which is to implement an elimination system based on the amount of bets. If you are lucky and win more, you can enter the next round of bigger bets.

And in the next round of gambling, you can meet some people from the upper class. In order to gain more network resources for themselves, some people spend huge sums of money just to advance to the next round, and in the last round, the bank owner Wang Chuangbei will come to the scene to deal the cards.

The fat man got his wish and entered the next round of gambling. The chips in this round increased tenfold, but the number of people was much smaller.

Fatty Wang only plays betting on size, and he only plays betting on size.

I'm really convinced that I'm fat. My ancestors gave him a golden eye with endless food and endless flowers, but he is content to work as a small widow and is quite happy. If it were the other person, I'm afraid he would have become a rich man. , Hug me left and right.

This game is getting bigger, there are only a few people left around, and those who can enter this game are either rich or noble.

The dealer's forehead was covered with sweat, and the hand shaking the bowl was trembling. If the fat man still won this round, the dealer would lose all his pants tonight.

There were five people in this round. Among them, the fat man and a short man bet big, and the other two bet small.

Determined to leave your hand, go!

There was no suspense at all. Fatty won again. After calculation, Fatty won 10 taels in this round!

The dwarf who had followed the fat man had been laughing so hard that he was almost going crazy, but the other two men couldn't laugh anymore. But they were unwilling to give in. They didn't believe that the half-grown boy with greasy eyes in front of them could be so lucky?

This time the fat man bet on the small one, and the short man also bet on the small one.

"I don't believe you can win everything, unless you are a cheat!"

In the end, the fat man won.

The dealer was going crazy at this time, "Impossible, absolutely impossible, you kid must be cheating!"

"Betting big or small is the fairest in all casinos. You roll the dice. How can I cheat?"

The banker was speechless because the fat man was snatching away the money, because he also knew that the fat man did not make a fortune.

Originally this one was supposed to come from the leopard.

The banker always wins! This is an iron rule!

But tonight it was rewritten by a fat man, which made the dealer feel particularly shocked. Is this fat man a human or a ghost?

But being willing to admit defeat is the iron law of the casino.

Fatty finally entered tonight's highest-level gambling game, a one-on-one showdown with the banker, and winning or losing was determined in one game.

"Are you Wang Chuangbei?" the fat man asked the dealer across the gambling table.

"Yes, you know me?"

"No, I just admire the name for a long time."

The fat man then asked: "In this gambling game, can I bet on anything?"

Wang Chuangbei half-squinted his eyes, with a sharp light hidden in his eyes.

"Yes, you can bet on anything."

"Okay. All I need to win is a word from you, a word of truth."

Wang Chuangbei couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. This might be the strangest bet among all his bets. The bet was not for money, but for a word.

"can."
