Chapter 207 Investigating the Ganpu Gambling House
Chapter 207 Investigating the Ganpu Gambling House
The three returned to the inn and went to their respective rooms to sleep soundly.
Chu Chen didn't take tomorrow's trip to the gambling den seriously. If it was a cancer that harmed the people of Great Xia, he wouldn't mind taking it down.
The next day, Chu Chen was woken up early by Erdezi.
“I say, Erdezi, this kind of behavior is not good.”
Chu Chen looked at him with a serious expression, which made Erdezi feel uneasy.
“Young master, I was wrong, but you were targeted by those people on your very first day in Ganpu. Either I take you there, or they have a way to get you there.”
Erdezi lowered his voice and spoke to Chu Chen.
"Do you know what happens when people from the Great Xia Dynasty go to that gambling den? Tell me, what will be the consequences?"
Seeing his expression, Chu Chen simply asked him.
Erdezi seemed to have been struggling with this for a long time before he spoke to Chu Chen.
He was indeed a Daxia person, but the lean man at the city gate was not.
He was, in fact, a minor leader in the gambling den business in Kampu.
When they saw a richly dressed Bactrian, their soldiers would make things difficult for them and then forcibly give the clothes to the guide.
The guide's ultimate goal was to lure these people to the gambling den.
At best, they would be stripped of all their money; if they disobeyed, they would be imprisoned and forced to write to their family in the Great Xia Dynasty to pay for their ransom.
If you can't come up with the money even after emptying your pockets, then write to your relatives and friends and ask them to come to Ganpu under the pretext of doing business.
If you've been used up, those who cooperate might have a chance to survive; those who don't will only face death.
After hearing this explanation, Chu Chen suddenly felt it was very familiar, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
But since we're here, let's go take a look. If all else fails, we'll just wipe them out.
"Young master, knock me unconscious and run away!"
After saying that, Erdezi stuck his head out towards Chu Chen!
Looking at Erdezi in front of him, Chu Chen suddenly realized that the child wasn't entirely evil to the core.
So he said, "Your task is to lead us into that gambling den, right?"
"Yes, young master, take him in, and my mission will be complete!"
"Alright, lead the way!"
Chu Chen reached out and patted his head, saying with a relaxed expression!
"Ah, young master... what's wrong!"
Chu Chen gave him a reassuring look and strode outside.
Then, under the pretext of retrieving something from the carriage, he waved his hand and put the van into his spatial storage.
The purpose of doing this was to allow Chen Qingxuan to escape with him in case the gambling den was destroyed.
Chen Qingxuan didn't care after hearing this. It was just a gambling den; it shouldn't have a super expert guarding it.
Moreover, Chu Chen's hidden weapons are unmatched.
Without preparation, even one's own master cannot escape.
Led by Erdezi, the two walked towards the street.
A short while later, the three entered an alleyway guarded by men wielding steel knives.
The two guards laughed and said something to Erdezi in English before letting the three of them in.
Once you walk through that alley, the view suddenly opens up.
There were many people moving around inside, including people from Ganpu and people from Daxia.
"Young master, this is the best I can do for you. Have fun."
After Erdezi finished speaking, he turned and left.
Chu Chen thought to himself, it's better that he left. This kid still has some conscience, and he won't be implicated for a while.
At this moment, a man from Great Xia came out and asked, "Gentlemen, are you here in Ganpu to do business?"
“A Great Xia person? Brother, my brother and I came here to do some business. My guide told us this place is fun, so we came to check it out.”
After saying that, Chu Chen deliberately looked behind him and said, "Hey, where did my guide go?"
"Haha, young master, forget about the pipe ball, I'll show you how to play." With that, he enthusiastically took the two of them by the hand and led them into the house.
"Haha, then I'll have to trouble you, brother." Chu Chen said to the man with an innocent and naive demeanor.
As soon as you step into the room, it becomes lively, with many large tables set up inside.
The crowd at the table was excitedly placing bets.
There were people from Ganpu and people from Daxia at the table, but the sharp-eyed Chu Chen immediately noticed something was wrong.
At least half of those Great Xia people were wounded.
The person they brought with them, however, looked like he had just arrived in Ganpu.
As usual, it was a group committing the crime.
The two followed the Xia man inside.
The people of Daxia whispered in their ears, explaining the various ways to wear the clothes and play with them.
Since Chu Chen's soul was swapped, he has lost all interest in gambling.
And then there's the drunkard, whose hobbies are just three things: drinking, fighting, and visiting brothels.
Seeing that Chu Chen and Chen Qingxuan were just browsing without placing any bets, the man from Great Xia suddenly became a little anxious.
He was thinking to himself, "Should I just report this to Brother Wang and take it down directly? Why go through all this trouble?"
Chu Chen and Chen Qingxuan deliberately wandered around inside, refusing to gamble. They both had the same idea: to see what kind of games they could play here.
The man from Great Xia suddenly paused in his smile: "Please wait a moment, gentlemen, I have to relieve myself."
After saying that, he walked towards the inner room.
Inside the room, a portly man sat in the main seat.
Two women from the Great Xia were serving him.
Just as he was getting into the swing of things, a knock on the door startled him and made him shrink back.
"Which blind fool can't see I'm enjoying myself?"
“Brother Wang, Erdezi has brought two young masters outside, but they only look and don’t gamble. I think we should take them down.”
Seeing that Brother Wang inside was angry, the man from Daxia knew he had run into bad luck today, so he quickly explained.
"Get lost! You have to call me for everything. I'll be exhausted. What are you guys doing here? Are you guys just here to eat shit?"
She was already furious, so how could she give him a nice look?
Just as the man from Daxia was about to leave, Brother Wang inside called him back.
"Wait a minute, I want to see what kind of rich young master is so blind as to enter my territory and think he can leave unscathed."
After saying that, Brother Wang pulled the two people off him, put on his clothes, and walked outside.
The man from Daxia bowed his head and respectfully welcomed Brother Wang out from inside.
"Brother Wang, the person is right outside. I'd appreciate it if you could make a trip there yourself."
"Oh, it's you. You haven't even collected your wedding gift money yet this month. If you keep dragging this on, I, your brother Wang, will have to keep your wife safe."
After saying that, Brother Wang laughed heartily and walked towards the gambling den outside.
The man from Great Xia was startled and immediately gave chase.
A moment later, following the direction the man was pointing, Brother Wang instantly flew into a rage.
"Give the order: close the door and drive the guests away!"
