Qin Xiao frowned, but did not step forward.

The Duwei Mansion is indeed responsible for maintaining order in the city, but it turns a blind eye to some things.

Playhouses with prostitutes and gambling houses are the two favorite programs for business travelers in Turtle City, so there are many music houses and gambling houses in the city.

In fact, in Turtle City, places like this have very rules. You are a guest when you come in. As long as you don't violate the rules inside, you will enjoy the most attentive service. However, once the rules are broken, the inside will never tolerate it.

If fights do occur in music houses and gambling houses, as long as no one is harmed, they will be allowed to deal with it on their own as much as possible, and the yamen of the Duwei Mansion will not take care of it.

It was common for someone to cause trouble in a gambling house and be beaten up. Qin Xiao had seen it many times and was not surprised.

"If you dare to cause trouble inside without money, I see you don't want to live anymore." A thick man wearing a green belt waved to the two big men to stop, spat at the man on the ground, and cursed: "

Hurry up and get out, if you act wild at Golden Hook Casino next time, I will skin you."

The beaten man got up from the ground, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. He stumbled away for more than ten steps, turned around and cursed twice at the Golden Hook Gambling House. When he saw the thugs from the gambling house trying to chase him, he turned around and ran away. In the blink of an eye, he was gone.

There was no sign of anyone.

The sturdy man laughed twice and said to his subordinates: "You guys watch carefully, I'm going to get something to eat." Without saying much, he turned around and walked towards East Street.

Qin Xiao did not hesitate, followed the stout man, turned around a street, and the man walked into a noodle shop, sat down at a table next to the wall, and shouted: "A bowl of mutton soup, and some steamed buns."

The waiter agreed, and Qin Xiao also walked into the store. There were many people in the noodle shop, and there were no empty tables. However, he walked directly to the table of the sturdy man and sat down opposite him.

There are not enough tables in noodle restaurants, so sharing tables is common.

The stout man was startled when he saw someone sitting down. When he saw that Qin Xiao was a young man, his face looked a little ugly. He opened his mouth, but before he could make a sound, Qin Xiao already laughed and said: "Hey, this is not from the Golden Gou Gambling House..."

...That one...well, I was so excited that I forgot my name for a moment...!"

The man was stunned and couldn't help but said: "Do you know me?"

"We know each other. Many of my friends also said that you are a righteous person. When the gangsters in Turtle City saw you, they were all respectful and did not dare to provoke you." Qin Xiao looked like he was thinking hard: "What is the uncle's name? I'm so excited.

It’s...!”

The man's face softened slightly and he said, "I don't even know what you are talking about. I like to sit alone. You go to another table."

Qin Xiao didn't agree at first, but turned around and said: "Here comes a bowl of beef, two bowls of haggis, and by the way, a jar of wine." Then he said to the man: "Uncle, I have heard your story, and I have always been very fond of you.

I admire you, I’m so lucky to meet you today, and I want to invite you to have a drink with me, so please don’t refuse.”

A smile appeared on the corner of the man's lips and he said: "Do you really know me? What stories have you heard about me?"

"A lot." Qin Xiao said seriously: "If you don't want to talk about anything else, let's just say that in a gambling house, no matter who dares to cause trouble there, they will piss themselves off when they see you. Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's really majestic."

The man showed a hint of amusement, coughed and said, "You are young, but you do have some knowledge."

At this time, the waiter had brought a jar of wine and set up the wine bowl. Qin Xiao immediately poured the wine for the man. Seeing Qin Xiao's attentiveness, the man said suspiciously: "You brat, you are both meat and wine. What are your intentions?"

?Could it be that you are going to work as a handyman in a gambling shop?"

Qin Xiao laughed and said: "No, no. Not everyone can enter the Golden Gou Gambling House. I heard that Mr. Wen, the owner of the gambling house, is very good at gambling. Looking at Turtle City, there are not many people who can match it. How can I?"

Qualified to work in Golden Hook Casino."

"Mr. Wen's family?" The man chuckled: "The current Jingou Gambling House does not have the surname Wen."

"I know." Qin Xiao said: "Dong Wen's family committed a crime and was imprisoned, but I heard that he will be released in half a year."

"Come out?" The man snorted coldly: "If you can really come out, you'll be damned." He picked up the wine bowl, raised his head and took a big sip. As soon as he put down the bowl, Qin Xiao immediately filled his mouth and said with a smile: "Uncle, I

The news is very good, in half a year, the Wen family will definitely come out."

The man said disdainfully: "So what if you come out? The Jingou Gambling House has changed people from top to bottom. Those who followed him at the beginning have been kicked out long ago. Now the owner of the gambling house is named Qiao...,

I said that you kid is really good at bragging, saying that you are well-informed, and you haven’t even found out about the Golden Gou Gambling House, yet you are still talking nonsense here.”

"Everyone has changed?" Qin Xiao was slightly shocked.

At this moment, I heard the waiter's voice coming from behind: "Girl, wait a minute, you haven't paid for the meal yet, you can't just leave like this."

Qin Xiao turned around and saw a clerk in the store chasing a girl in a woolen coat at the door.

Woolen jackets are the most common item of clothing in Xiling. It has just passed February and the climate in Xiling is still quite cold. There are many people wearing woolen jackets on the street. The girl wore a fur hat and a black belt around her waist.

Although she is dressed like a Xiling person, her face is fair and delicate, with clear eyebrows and beautiful appearance.

Qin Xiao only glanced at it and felt a little surprised.

Xiling is a bitter cold land with wind and sand all over the sky. Although the native men are strong and strong, even the daughter's skin is quite rough. Under the baptism of wind and sand, the skin color is slightly darker, even with a hint of bronze, like the girl in front of her, who is so snowy and tender.

Skin is extremely rare.

The girl blinked her eyes and said with a hint of surprise: "Do you recognize me as a girl?" It was obviously Guan Nei's voice.

When Qin Xiao heard this, he felt funny in his heart. He thought to himself that although you were wearing a sheepskin jacket and covering your body, your appearance was beautiful and your walking posture was completely that of a girl. Anyone with some knowledge would recognize it at a glance.

"The girl is joking." The waiter extended his hand and said, "Chenghui two coins."

The girl frowned and said, "I went out in a hurry and didn't bring any money with me. I'll have someone bring it to you later."

"Send it here?" The waiter crossed his arms, looked up and down, and said: "Girl, we run a small business and we don't owe you credit. How can you eat without paying for food? Since you know you don't have any money, you shouldn't walk into this place.

Door."

The girl was a little annoyed and said, "It's just two pieces of silver. I'll bring it to you when I say it will come back. Get out of the way." She stretched out her hand to push the man, but the man didn't retreat but pushed forward, shouting: "You can't get out of this without paying for the meal."

Door. Look, everyone, there is someone here who wants to eat the King's meal, and is he being unreasonable?"

Many people in the noodle shop suddenly looked over.

The girl's cheeks were slightly red, and she was even more angry when being looked at by a group of people. She walked around the guy and wanted to leave. The guy took advantage of him and naturally wouldn't let him go. He shouted: "If you don't have money to pay for the meal, I will work here for two days."

...!" Before she finished speaking, she saw the girl hooking the guy's ankle with a hook. Almost at the same time, her right hand pushed the guy's shoulder. The movement was just right, and the guy's shoulder was forced to retreat.

But his ankle was hooked, and he fell backwards to the ground with a cry of "ouch".

Qin Xiao saw this and thought that although this girl's movements were simple, she was very skilled and practical, as if she had practiced.

However, it is not uncommon for this girl to have some skills among the three sects and nine schools of Turtle City, Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger.

The boy fell to the ground and was very angry. The girl was startled at first, but soon there was a hint of excitement in her eyebrows, but the boy had already shouted: "Hitting, hitting!"

Although the noodle shop is not big, there are still two or three waiters. The owner of the noodle shop has been behind the counter. He just saw the waiter collecting debts and did not come over. At this time, when he saw the waiter being knocked to the ground, his face changed slightly and he rushed over from behind the counter, angry.

Said: "In the clear sky, if you don't pay for your meal and still hurt others, is there any royal law?"

The other two waiters also dropped what they were doing and rushed over. One of them had already shouted: "Twist her to the Yamen."

Some of the guests in the noodle shop looked on with cold eyes, some whispered, and some even laughed and said: "It is natural to pay for meals, but there are still people in Turtle City who dare to eat Bawang meals."

The girl glanced around and saw everyone pointing at her and being blocked by a waiter. She suddenly became a little panicked. Her beautiful face suddenly turned red. She lowered her head slightly and said, "I...I don't

Be careful, I will accompany you for just the money."

"If you hurt someone, of course you have to accompany Qinzi." Seeing the girl's weakness, the shopkeeper immediately felt confident: "Tell me, how much do you want to accompany you?"

The girl said: "As much as you want, I'll give it all to you."

"You didn't even pay for the meal, how can you get the money to compensate?" The shopkeeper sneered: "You are from Guanli, right? I don't care who you are in Guanli. When you get to Turtle City, I can't help you acting wild here.

, if you can’t come up with the money, let’s go see the official now.”

"I'm going to get the money. I'll definitely deliver it to you within half an hour." The girl looked at the shopkeeper and said, "I don't have any money with me now."

The shopkeeper looked at the girl and pointed at her wrist: "You can go and get the silver. This bracelet will be left as collateral. If you get the silver, the bracelet will be returned to you immediately, otherwise...!"

Qin Xiao didn't pay much attention just now. Hearing what the shopkeeper said, he saw that the girl was wearing a table on her wrist. It was green in color. He couldn't tell how much silver the bracelet was worth, but it was much more expensive than a meal.

.

The girl immediately covered the bracelet with her sleeves and said firmly: "No, I can't give you the bracelet."

"Hey, you didn't even keep your bracelet. You're obviously trying to find an excuse to escape. If I let you go, I'll never see you again." The shopkeeper said, "Don't say anything, let's go see the official." He stretched out his hand to pull you away.

Girl, the girl took a step back and said angrily: "Don't touch me."

"Shopkeeper, don't embarrass her." Qin Xiao saw that the matter was not going to end well. He stood up, walked over and said with a smile: "Isn't it just a few coins? There is no need to force her. She came from the pass. You are like this

If we treat her, people in the customs will think that we are overbearing in the future." He took a piece of silver and handed it over: "I even paid her bill, it should be enough, you keep it."

The shopkeeper glanced at Qin Xiao, stretched out his hand to take the money, and said to the girl: "You are lucky. You have met a good person. I won't be the same as you today." He signaled the waiter to go to work, and returned behind the counter.

The girl came back to her senses and saw Qin Xiao looking at her with a smile. She quickly cupped her hands and said, "Thank you, brother!"

Qi Ning saw that she was neither fish nor fowl, so he smiled and said, "You're welcome. It's inevitable that there will be difficulties when you go out. But it's only natural to pay for food and pay. Don't forget to bring money with you when you go out in the future." Without saying anything, he turned back to the table and saw Jin Gou.

The big man in the gambling house was eating with gusto. Before he could sit down, the girl had already followed him and said, "Brother, your surname is Gao. I will go back to get the money now. You wait here. Within half an hour, I will give you the money."

The money will be sent to you to repay you."
