At the end of the corridor through which Prince Tan passed, there was a hollow platform.
Directly in front of the platform is a statue of Guan Gong.
Different from the statues of Guan Gong I have seen before, this statue of Guan Gong has no robes or swords, and has a kind face and kind eyes.
Several women who looked like mothers were offering incense to the statue of Guan Gong one after another.
After getting on the elevator and walking through the sensual scene, Prince Tan took me directly to his office.
At the entrance hall, there is also a statue of Guan Gong.
Different from the one seen downstairs, this Guan Gong is dressed in a golden robe and has a shining golden body.
Prince Tan lit three sticks of incense and worshiped the golden-robed Guan Gong.
After sitting on the spacious sofa, Prince Tan asked me:
"Do you want to pay homage to Second Master Guan?"
I shook my head. We worshiped Han Xin, the partial god of wealth.
Of course, people like me, who have had no father or mother since childhood, are even more convinced that worshiping God is not as good as worshiping yourself.
Prince Tan picked up a box of Double Happiness soft drinks on the coffee table, ordered one, and said slowly:
"There are also many things to pay attention to when worshiping the second master Guan. Those who do business worship the golden-robed Guan Gong. They pay attention to the blessing of a god of wealth and abundant financial resources. Those who live in the world worship the green-robed Guan Gong. What they want is righteousness and a common destiny.
People in government offices worship the red-robed Guan Gong. He is said to be brave and loyal, and to serve the country wholeheartedly..."
As Prince Tan spoke, he pointed in the direction downstairs and said:
"The robe-less Guan Gong you just saw is something that would only be enshrined in a brothel..."
I have heard Master Liu say this before.
It is said that even the direction of the knife has different opinions.
"I am a businessman, so naturally I worship the Second Master Jinpao Guan..."
Prince Tan's words sounded ordinary, but they were profound.
Do not worship Guan Gong without robes, only worship Guan Gong in gold robes.
That means he wants to go ashore one day and clear his name.
I also know that what he wants to tell me today is not just how to pay homage to Guan Gong.
Sure enough, Prince Tan took a puff of cigarette and continued to expand the topic.
"Have you ever had any trouble with Mr. Ha from Jinmen Guards?"
"A little bit, not much!"
Prince Tan nodded and asked again:
"Did all the gambling king Qin Sihai of Guandong fall into your hands in Fengtian?"
"It does matter, not entirely!"
I replied calmly.
Prince Tan put out the cigarette he had taken a few puffs into in the ashtray.
He looked up at me, his expression suddenly changed, and he asked:
"What do you think about the affair between you and my father in the Prince's Palace?"
I looked at Prince Tan calmly.
"Do you think that it was my father who brought you here and that even if something happens, he will protect you? Let me tell you, you are wrong!"
Prince Tan said and stood up slowly.
Go to the desk and pick up a Tang knife on the knife rest.
With a "swish" sound, the Tang sword was unsheathed.
Looking at the blade, he said slowly:
"My father has shares in the Prince's Palace. But there is only one person who has the final say in the Prince's Palace, and that is me. I am short-sighted and have no ambitions. My biggest ideal can be summarized in seven words. Make money, make money,
Make more money..."
As he spoke, Prince Tan slowly danced the Tang Dao.
"I will kill anyone who delays me from making money, including my father!"
Prince Tan's tone was cold, and his whole body had a murderous aura.
But I know one thing very clearly, if he really wants to deal with me, there is no need to tell me this.
What he wants to say is still behind.
"Mr. Tan, if you want to say anything, just say it!"
Sheath the knife and sheath it.
After putting the knife rest back, he said:
"Take all the money you win today. I will also make up for my father's share. But I need you to do something for me..."
"What's up?"
"Sit down, let me start by listening to the Dice Party!"
I then sat on the sofa nearby, took the cigarette from Prince Tan, and listened to him say slowly:
"I am not from Landao, and I have never thought of getting involved in Landao in my life. But I also have some friends in Landao. As for the Listening Sic Party, they are a relatively loose organization of scammers. They rely on the master-disciple gang.
It has only developed to this day in the 1960s. Originally, they just traveled around the country in gambling games to make some quick money. But I heard that the gameplay in casinos in various places has changed, and the advantages of the dice party have become less and less obvious. Therefore, most of them
They all returned to Nanyue..."
Speaking of this, Prince Tan took another puff of cigarette and continued:
"Let's talk about Mr. Ha, the Jinmen guard. I don't know this guy, but he is very generous. After seeing me, he will give me the woman named Huang Ze who is next to him..."
Prince Tan looked disdainful and continued:
"Then there is Qin Sihai, the gambling king of Guandong. I just heard recently that this man has been dormant in southern Guangdong. He is not in Guandong at all. I don't know when, these three groups got together. They decided to open a casino in Guancheng
The largest underground casino in southern Guangdong..."
oh?
I knew Qin Sihai was in southern Guangdong, but I didn't expect that he would actually build a casino and choose the location in Wancheng.
"There are many gambling stalls in Guancheng, but there has never been a large-scale casino. Do you know why?"
Prince Tan suddenly asked me, and I shook my head.
"Because I don't agree!"
"Why? You don't have any competitive relationship. Having a casino can attract more foreign guests to Guancheng, and won't it also boost your business?"
