Chapter 860: Juyi Square
The more the guy spoke, the higher his voice, but before he could finish his words, Chen Zhao picked him up, grabbed his clothes, slapped him hard on the face, and then threw him to the ground and stepped on him again.
"I have never heard of Kang Dingbo." Chen Zhao said lightly.
He had never heard of it. Even in the deepest thinking of Xu Xian, he had never heard of Kang Dingbo's name.
"Kang Dingbo? That's Mr. Tong from Huzhou!" A melon-eating crowd next to him said in surprise.
"I heard that Kang Dingbo was the overlord of Huzhou, and even the prefect of Huzhou would bow his hand to the younger generation when he saw him."
"Not only that, he is both black and white, and his business is open everywhere."
"No wonder his business is called Sihai Business Company!"
"Yes, relying on this kind of ability to build up shops with prosperous businesses, no wonder..." This guy didn't have a brain, and after speaking, his mouth was covered by his companion.
"Official Xu, this Kang Dingbo is not easy to mess with!" someone in the crowd said.
Chen Zhao laughed loudly, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, a dagger appeared in his hand, but it was smooth from the body of the manager. He shouted lightly, and the dagger flashed. The two managers immediately lost their souls and shouted loudly.
I saw that his left ear had left his head and fell to the ground.
"I dare to threaten me with the guys from Huzhou, I really don't know how to live or die!"
Blood splattered, and the crowd screamed. The people around him were stunned at first, then looked shocked, and immediately dispersed. The streets that were originally blocked became smooth.
Chen Zhao smiled and said, "This is the end of you threatening me with Kang Dingbo!"
"When you go back, tell Kang Dingbo that Qiantang County is my territory of Xu Xian. If you want to make trouble, you have to ask about my fist!"
"Get out!"
As he said that, he took the second manager away with one kick.
The second manager flew out more than ten feet away and slid along the road for a long time before he stopped.
At this moment, he had no courage to stand up, and ran away in shame without caring about Wang Ping and his four guards.
But at this time, Wang Ping was trembling, but he didn't dare to move.
In fact, he couldn't move either, because Chen Zhao had just lit his acupoint.
And those four guards probably won't dare to be arrogant here after they want to wake up.
Chen Zhao turned around and glanced at the shopkeeper Chen who was nodding and bowing to him. He reached out to take the ten taels of silver, put it in his arms, and left with his hands behind his back.
...
After doing this, Chen Zhao was free from any burden after taking ten taels of silver.
He is not a disciple of the saint, Zigong, so he can not give a bounty for his false reputation.
He plans to develop his power in Qiantang County and strengthen his own. How can he do without money?
Chen Zhao continued to walk forward, turned over another street, and saw a gambling house with three words "Juyifang" hanging on it.
The two big men standing at the door looked like an ordinary house outside, but when you stand outside, you can hear the crowds of people inside, and the gamblers are in a hurry in and out, which shows that they are very popular.
Chen Zhao smiled silently. Juyifang is clearly Juqianfang.
The gambling house has never been built by good people. They always try every means to get the gamblers' money into it.
For the vast majority of people at the bottom, it has always been a whimsical thing to expect to get rich through gambling.
Chen Zhao looked at the Juyifang from afar, remembering the past when he swept through the big and small gambling houses in Yanggu County, and couldn't help but smile.
He was the overlord of Yanggu at that time. In order to completely control the county, he had to sweep away the ghosts and monsters, so he was unrestrained.
But now is different from the past. His brother-in-law works in the yamen and his sister is very virtuous at home.
He dared to bully the servants of Kang Dingbo from other places because he was confident that he could quickly establish a strong force before the other party took revenge. The so-called strong dragons do not suppress local snakes.
However, this gambling house is a local. Maybe there are some big shots behind it, county magistrates or magistrates in the yamen, and there may be almost all elements in it. If he destroys this gambling house, the retribution will immediately fall on his family.
Chen Zhao didn't want to repeat Zhu Biao's route and was unwilling to disrupt his family's life.
After all, Li Gongfu and Xu Jiaorong are both ordinary people, not country tyrants like Zhujiazhuang.
However, Chen Zhao was also very upset when he saw the gambling house get rich and harming these ignorant people.
"It happened that there were ten taels of silver in your hand, which could be used as capital to search for the people's money!"
Thinking of this, he stepped into this Juyifang.
In this era, gambling was rich and colorful, including balls, chess, dices, birds, passers-by, etc., and the participants, from scholars and emperors, to ordinary people, to ruffians, and even rogues, were all inclusive.
At the beginning of the founding of the State Dynasty, the management of gambling was very strict, basically the word "dead". Later, the emperor loved the gambling career, and an emperor loved fighting cocks, so the law became empty text. At this time, the folk, official, and literati and Jinshi all became popular.
As far as Chen Zhao knows, talented men like Ouyang Xiu and Li Qingzhao all love gambling. In the Yuan Dynasty, the emperor decided to be promoted to an official and threw dice in the hall.
...
Fat sheep!
When Chen Zhao entered the gambling house, this word flashed in the hearts of dozens of people in the venue at the same time.
Xu Xian is not old this year, and he looks like a slim face. His clothes are very smooth. Even if he is not a young master from a family, he is a good child from a well-off family who can't help but be curious and see what's going on.
A guy immediately stepped forward: "Young man, don't know what you want to play?"
Chen Zhao dressed up as a curious baby: "Which one is simpler here?"
I guessed right! It's indeed a young man!
The guy couldn't help but feel happy, as if he saw a big fat sheep waving to him.
Generally speaking, if a guy can turn a kid into a gambler, the gambling house will also give him a commission as usual.
So he introduced enthusiastically: "Young Master, you have just arrived and may not be familiar with me. Why not play with money first? Let's take a look."
As he waved his hand, a dealer understood and grabbed a handful of copper coins in a jar and put them into the bowl, clamped the two bowls together, and shook them gently...
After a moment, put the bowl down and the gamblers bet on one, two, three, and four.
Everything is ready. The dealer opens the late opening, pours the money on the table lightly, then uses chopsticks to spread every four copper coins, and finally two coins are left. Then you will pay two or three times, double the compensation, and eat the chips of one, three or four.
Sure enough, there is a problem, how sharp Chen Zhao's eyes are?
It was just a glance that the dealer was a fraud. The guy had a copper plate hidden in his rolled-up sleeve. His arms were slightly forward and then downward. The copper plate fell into the bowl under the cover of his arms and mixed in the pile of copper coins.
This method can only hide one copper coin, and there will be a sound if there are too many. That is, the dealer is willing to pay for a snack. As for how the dealer knows the amount of copper coins he catches, maybe the problem is in the jar, maybe the dealer can judge by weight.
But Chen Zhao was disdainful to make money in such a noisy environment. If you want to slaughter a lot, you will slaughter it. He said, "This place is a bit noisy, is there a quiet place?"
