There are only a few words in the letter, and the content is very simple.

——Tonight at Xushi, please invite the Escort Bureau to come to Fengxian Tower for an appointment. If you win the bet, Ziyun Ding will be offered to you.

Xiao Ran's name and the trefoil emblem representing the Xiao family are written on the signature.

After Zhao Shitu saw it, he was very puzzled. Of course he knew where Fengxianlou was, and it was the biggest gambling house in Dunhuang.

"Ordinary people hire escorts to entrust escorts, but this one invites escorts to gamble. Why does a family of medical practitioners have such strange hobbies?"

Yan Wuhua frowned and said: "I also can't guess the other party's intentions. The Xiao family is located in the Sichuan-Chongqing border, thousands of miles away from Dunhuang, and there are mountains and rivers blocking the way, so there is very little contact with the Yuan family. unfamiliar."

Zhao Shitu asked again: "Among the guests coming and going in the house recently, does anyone know him?"

Yan Wuhua still shook her head: "I also asked, but unfortunately, except for the genius doctor Xiao Ling who once traveled around, the rest of the Xiao family seldom walks in the rivers and lakes, and people in the rivers and lakes rarely make friends with them."

Zhao Shitu rolled his eyelids: "It seems that I only have to come to the door to learn."

Yan Wuhua turned her head to look at him, and said hesitantly, "Is Chief Zhao really going? If it's just a gamble, it's okay, but I'm afraid the other party has other schemes, otherwise I'll come forward..."

Zhao Shitu waved his hand and said: "Hey, it's so easy to invite people here, if we break the appointment rashly, wouldn't it damage our reputation, brother Yan, don't worry, I will go to the appointment with Ah Zhu and Shangguan, you will wait at the mansion, if the situation arises In case of illness, we will seek help immediately without delay."

Yan Wuhua tightened her lips, nodded slightly and said: "That's the only way to go."

On the side, Luo Huan looked at the two of them in turn, puffed up his chest and said, "Wait, have you forgotten me? I'm going to the appointment too."

Zhao Shitu stretched out a hand to rub the top of his head: "Little devil, you should stay here with your senior brother."

Luo Huan shook off his hand and insisted: "Why, I want to go too!"

Zhao Shitu rolled his eyelids: "I can't make the decision. Even if you want to go, you have to ask your senior brother first."

Before Luo Huan made a sound, Wu Qingyi immediately pressed his shoulder and said seriously: "Huan'er, you are too young to go to a gambling hall."

Luo Huan curled his lips angrily: "It's as if I've never been there..."

Wu Qingyi panicked immediately, and hurriedly said: "Junior Brother, don't..."

Zhao Shitu ignored them, turned to Yan Wuhua and said, "Then it's settled like this."

Yan Wuhua nodded, and said solemnly: "You must be careful."

Fengxian Tower is the largest gambling house in Dunhuang, and it is also the busiest place in the street market.

The street market is the widest one in the whole city. It faces the city gate, but it still can't stop the coldness and bleakness of winter. If you pass by in the daytime, you will see many shops along the way closed and locked. Pedestrian footprints covered the snow in a mess.During the daytime, the gate of Fengxian Tower was also closed tightly, and the windows were pitch black, and there was no one there.

But after nightfall, this place completely changed into a different scene, with noisy voices and bright lights, and the sound of rolling dice and clanging of cups could be heard from a long distance away.

No one knows where these gamblers come from. They are like bamboo shoots rooted in the snow, and they appear out of thin air at night. The more depressed the age, the more prosperous the business here is. In the novel, there are always some strange things that make people amazed.

Strange, in fact, it is nothing more than the will of the people.The more depressed the age, the more gamblers spend money like water, extravagant and indulgent, deliberately playing with the seasons, and desperately creating a bubble-like prosperity.

Zhao Shitu is not a gambler. He has neither the money nor the mood to gamble. Unfortunately, at this time of year, people who are not gamblers are forced to come to the casino.It can be seen that there are some things in this world, whether you gamble or not, you cannot escape karma.

At this time, Zhao Shitu and his two companions were walking together. The three of them had been well-dressed, and their clothes were just right. They were neither overpowering nor vulgar, and they would not attract unnecessary attention. They mixed among gamblers and entered the Fengxian Tower inside.

The inside of Fengxian Building was even more crowded than it looked outside, the sky was full of smoke, and the smell of alcohol was everywhere, it was not really an elegant place.

Zhao Shitu became interested, he looked at an empty table in the corner, and slowly smiled: "Shangguan, do you remember that when I first met you, you sat there."

On the side, Ming Yuezhu said in surprise: "So this is the gambling hall you picked up people back to."

Zhao Shitu nodded and said, "That's right, this is Fengxianlou. I really can't figure out why Shangguan would come to such a place."

Shangguanqing blinked and said, "I just want to find a restaurant to fill my stomach."

Zhao Shitu smiled and said: "It's a pity that not only did he not fill his stomach, but he almost got into a fight. Thanks to me, I rescued him in time and took him away through the back door. Shangguan, don't you think so?"

Shangguan Qing said: "It's a pity that you also left my purse here."

Mingyuezhu not only laughed out loud, Zhao Shitu also raised his head and laughed: "Not bad, not bad, it seems that you still remember."

Shangguan said indifferently: "I escaped in such a mess, it's hard to forget."

While the three of them were chatting and laughing, the seat had been taken by someone, a drunk gambler, talking nonsense, unable to understand the content.

The original money bag has long since disappeared, and the original person has also changed his status and circumstances.

Zhao Shitu never thought that one day he would return to this place. He couldn't help but look at the side faces of the people around him. In the dim light, the faces of the three people were a little blurred, and the shadows on the outlines swayed with the bright light. , eyes covered in shadows, unable to see clearly.

He shook his head, waved away excess distracting thoughts, and walked deep.

The first floor of Fengxian Building is an ordinary gambling hall, the gambling wages are not high, as long as you have a few pieces of silver in your pocket, you can come in and play a few rounds.The chip exchange counter was halfway down the hall, crowded with eager gamblers, pushing each other and refusing to give in.

Zhao Shitu couldn't squeeze through the crowd, even though he stretched his neck, he couldn't see clearly what was going on inside. When he was feeling worried, someone patted him lightly on the back.

He turned around and saw that the person who came was a book boy, about the same age as Luo Huan, but his demeanor was quite different.

The book boy was stupefied, his shoulders shrunk to the side of his neck, his front teeth bit his lower lip nervously, and he said awkwardly: "Is...is it Zhao Biaotou?"

Zhao Shitu patted him on the shoulder, and said softly: "I am not bad, and there are two bodyguards accompanying me."

The book boy raised his head to look at him, then looked at the people behind him, and then he said slowly: "I...my husband is in the wing room on the top floor, please...please three of you follow me up."

Zhao Shitu replied: "Okay." Following him, he avoided the crowd and went upstairs calmly.

The steps turn back and forth, the more you go up, the fewer gamblers, and the quieter the environment. When you reach the top floor, you can hardly hear the noise below, and the pungent smell of alcohol is replaced by the smell of incense sandalwood.

There is a four-object screen with mountains and rivers at the entrance of the steps. Only by going around behind the screen can you see the original appearance of the room.

In the huge room, there was only one person standing.

It was a middle-aged man, dressed meticulously, exuding a faint aroma of herbs, which blended with the smell of incense.

His fingers were long and slender, holding a silver judge's pen between his fingers, and he was playing with it boredly.

When he heard the voice behind him, he turned his head. After seeing the person coming, his eyes lit up, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said slowly: "It seems that Escort Zhao is ready to gamble with me."
