Shen Zhuixing and Linglonger boarded the large building ship named "Yufu". This was a passenger ship belonging to the Sichuan Gang, which specialized in traveling between the capital and Chengdu. The Sichuan Gang also had another "Yufu" The sister ship is named "Cancong", both names are the names of ancient Shu kings.

The two originally wanted to buy a boat near Yueyang, but they knew that only bulk cabins could be purchased for such short distances, and better cabins were only given to passengers who arrived at the end. Shen Zhuixing didn't want Linglong'er to be too miserable, so he simply spent several times more. I bought a ferry ticket to Chengdu for the price.

The building is four stories high, and the third floor where Shen Zhuixing is located is the most luxurious. The guests around are mixed, but they all seem to be either rich or expensive. The fourth floor is where the restaurant, casino and sightseeing deck are. You can enjoy the scenery of the Yangtze River. Although Su Zicui, the boss of the Sichuan Gang, was born in the underworld, he has a great business acumen. The development of this line made him a lot of money. However, some people say that the business of these two ships, Boss Su It's just a small shareholder. The real major shareholder is someone in the capital. He just doesn't want to be associated with the underworld, so he keeps his name hidden. This brings endless reverie to people. Of course, some people think that this is a trick of Boss Su. The purpose is to intimidate competitors and promote oneself.

Earlier, Linglong'er and Shen Zhuixing discussed their ages. Linglong'er was just over a month older than Shen Zhuixing, so the two boarded the ship as siblings. Shen Zhuixing even joked about how old he was at that time. Years old, Linglong'er would tell him that it was an extra month, so that she could act like the boss in front of him, and Linglong'er smiled and kicked him before she was done.

The cabin for two people is equipped with two wooden beds and some simple furniture. It looks simple from the land, but it is relatively spacious on the boat.

On the left side of the cabin is a man in his thirties with a neatly trimmed beard. His handsome face always has a smile. On the right side is a young couple. The man is in his twenties and thirties, with a fair face and a rosy face. He had an arrogant look, as if everyone was not in his eyes and he never looked at people seriously. Only when he looked at the woman next to him, his eyes showed a strange light. The woman was about eighteen or nineteen years old, with a delicate face and a beautiful face. The delicate melon seeds have a few freckles on their face, fair skin, and a slightly thin figure, which gives people a pitiful look. There is often a look of fear in their eyes.

After having dinner on the boat, Shen Zhuixing and Linglonger went to the deck to enjoy the breeze.

It was June, just after the Great Heat, and the weather was hot during the day. On the deck after the sun had set, the river breeze was blowing, but it was extremely cool. The two of them leaned on the side of the ship, watching the scenery along the way, and had nothing to do with each other. Chat.

Although Ling Long'er was used to riding on sea boats, it was her first time to ride on such a luxuriously decorated river boat mainly used for sightseeing, so she was very excited and talked endlessly. Shen Zhuixing was still thinking about Lan Yue's life and death. , so the mood is not high.

Seeing this, Linglong'er asked, "What's on your mind? Tell me."

Shen Chai There was a man in black on the other side of the boat with his back to him.

Linglong'er followed Shen Zhuixing's direction and saw that the man was in his forties, with a thick beard on his face that was not trimmed, and his eyes were dull, giving people a feeling of having gone through many vicissitudes of life.

Linglonger took a look and said: "This person should not be on the same level as us. I just saw him. This person looks worried, a bit like you now."

As if he felt someone was talking about him, the man in black turned his head, glanced at the two of them, and walked away.

Shen Zhuixing suddenly felt a little embarrassed, but Linglong'er nonchalantly pointed to another couple in the distance and said, "Look at those two people?"

When Shen Zhuixing saw that Linglong'er was talking about the neighbor on his left, he said casually: "They look like a young couple from a rich family."

Linglonger said: "They should be doing business. Look at the way the man looks at the woman, as if he's watching his own goods."

Shen Zhuixing couldn't help laughing when he saw Linglong'er speaking vividly.

At this time, a person walked beside him. He was the neighbor on the right side of his room. After saying hello with a smile, he whispered to Linglong'er: "Not only does their family do business, but they also do big business."

Shen Zhui

The man seemed very happy to see that Linglong'er was interested in what he said, so he said with an attitude of knowing everything: "There are three major forces in central Sichuan, namely the Sichuan Gang, Paijiao and Shajiabao."

In Linglong'er's encouraging eyes, the man continued: "The Sichuan Gang was originally a gangster, but recently it has colluded with the government and slowly embarked on the right path, taking both black and white. The ship we are on now belongs to the Sichuan Gang. The gang leader Su Zi Cui, with his "Shen Yue" marksmanship, is invincible in Sichuan. The Paijiao is a gang of the Miao people in Sichuan. It is the most mysterious and the most familiar one is the "corpse driving" of the Paijiao. Finally, there is Shajiabao, There are three things in Shajiabao: gold mines, iron mines, and horse thieves."

At this time, the pair of women turned away from the side of the boat and headed towards the casino.

When the man saw the two of them walking away, he continued: "Although the Sha family is as rich as any other country, there is one thing that is not satisfactory. That is, it has been passed down to only one generation for five generations. However, the ancestral motto of the Sha family is that it should be passed on to son, not to son-in-law, and not to daughter-in-law. Girl. What I saw just now was Sha Junbao, the master of this generation of the Sha family. Although Sha Junbao had countless concubines, he could not give birth to a son. Three years ago, in Suzhou's Shameful Flower Pavilion, he met Tang Xixi by chance and offered him a large sum of money. Redeem her body and marry her back home."

"This is common in wealthy families, but Sha Junbao actually ignored other ladies from wealthy families and insisted on making Tang Xixi his wife. For this reason, Sha Junbao's parents became angry and fell ill. Not long after, he died. ."

After listening to the man's tirade, Linglong'er suddenly asked: "Who are you? How do you know so much?"

The man smiled and said: "My surname is Ye, Ye Maolin, from Suzhou. I have done business with the Sha family, so I know this."

It was getting dark now and there were not many people on the deck. Shen Zhuixing wanted to go back to rest, but Ye Maolin suggested that the two of them go to the casino. Shen Zhuixing was not willing, but Linglonger was very interested, so they had to go together.

The casino was luxuriously decorated, and the dealers were all young and beautiful women. The two of them walked around casually. Shen Zhui Sha Junbao was also inside. Linglong'er became curious and dragged Shen Zhuixing in.

In addition to Sha Junbao and Tang Xixi at the card table, the man in black seen on the deck earlier was also there, as well as Ye Maolin.

Due to Ye Maolin's advance introduction, Shen Zhuixing became curious about Tang Xixi and couldn't help but take a second look. Unexpectedly, Sha Junbao saw this, and he saw a fierce look in his eyes, and loudly said: "Everyone who is irrelevant should go out. !" The waiter on the side saw Shen Zhuixing and Linglong, who were young and dressed in ordinary clothes, so he wanted to invite the two of them out.

When Linglong'er saw this, she raised her brows and said, "What? The casino operator is turning away customers? Are you afraid that no one can afford to lose?"

The waiter said: "This is a VIP room. The minimum gambling capital is one thousand taels of silver. You two can go to the hall to play."

Linglong'er took out a small bag from Shen Zhuixing's arms, placed it on the gambling table, and slowly opened it. Everyone was shocked when they saw it. It was full of large diamonds, which reflected colorful light under the light. Linglong'er He took out one at random, handed it to the waiter, and said casually: "Find someone knowledgeable to evaluate it and exchange it for some chips. I want to play with it."

Everyone was stunned. That big diamond was worth at least 10,000 taels of silver. This pack of diamonds was enough to buy more than a dozen "fishing duck" boats!

The waiter carefully took the diamond away, and after a while, he brought over eight thousand taels of silver chips. Linglong'er didn't mind, and went to the gambling table with Shen Zhuixing. At this time, the gambling table was dice.

Although Linglong'er went to the gambling table angrily, she was not proficient in it. She went up and bet big and small. She won a few bets and got a few hundred taels of silver, and she became proud. Then she bet a thousand taels in a row, but all the bets were wrong. After losing, he only had more than one thousand taels of silver left. On the other hand, Sha Junbao had won seven to eight thousand taels of silver.

Shen Zhuixing saw that Linglong'er was having fun and persuaded her to go back. Unexpectedly, when Sha Junbao saw this, he smiled contemptuously and said mockingly: "You are so skilled, don't be embarrassed here, why don't you go home and wash yourself up quickly?" Already."

Shen Zhuixing, who originally wanted to leave, saw Linglong'er being humiliated, but instead sat down and said with a smile: "You must be having a good time, how about I play with you?"

Sha Junbao saw this and sneered: "If you want to give me money, I can't stop you! I'll do whatever you want to do with me!"

Shen Zhui

Sha Junbao asked: "Determine the outcome with one hand? Okay! What's the bet?"

Shen Zhuixing smiled and said, "You decide, but it must be in cash."

After hearing what Shen Zhuixing said, Sha Junbao was ecstatic. It turned out that Sha Junbao had loved gambling since he was a child and was very talented. In addition, he also owned a casino at home, so he was proficient in various gambling skills. The only regret now is that he won the gold medal Not enough, otherwise you can win the opponent's bag of diamonds.

Thinking of this, he took out a 100,000 taels of silver note from his pocket and put it on the table. After counting the original silver on the table, the total was 116,500 taels of silver.

Shen Zhuixing took out the diamond bag from his arms, took out twelve diamonds, and then pushed the remaining chips of more than one thousand silver on the table.

The casino draws one out of every ten, so no matter how both parties win or lose, the casino always makes money.

At this time, Linglong'er felt a little nervous. Although she knew that Shen Zhuixing had amazing internal strength, gambling was another matter. After all, hundreds of thousands of dollars was not a small amount.

Shen Zhuixing knew that Ling Long'er was nervous, so he smiled at her and said, "You and I don't care about life or death, do you still care about these external things?"
