Miao Jixiang looked at Li Xian in surprise and stammered,""Big Brother Li, how…how did you know?”
"I have done some research on physiognomy," Li Xian said calmly.”
"Big Brother Li is so awesome!"
Miao Jixiang exclaimed in praise, but her face couldn't help but fall."Sigh! That's right. The person disguised as Zhuo Wenjun helped the shopkeeper sell wine and had always worked hard. However, the customers who bought wine were getting fewer and fewer. With every passing year, how many families would be willing to do so?
Always buying wine to drink? Moreover, the shopkeeper…sigh!"
" The shopkeeper's heart is too dark," Li Xian said." There's too much water in the wine. All the returning customers have run away, right?"”
"Eh? Big Brother Li could also tell?”"You must have heard about it from the neighbors who bought the wine." Miao Jixiang suddenly understood. Sigh, even I was implicated by the shopkeeper and was called a liar. No wonder his business was bad. It was good that he fired me.
I don't want to help him lie either."
" That shopkeeper doesn't keep his word when doing business," Li Xian said." He ruined his reputation and naturally couldn't continue doing business. It's not that you don't want to work hard. You just have to find another job."”
Miao Jixiang's eyes curved like crescents as she smiled sweetly at Li Xian.""Yes! I have this plan!"
Li Xian smiled." Why don't you tell your parents about your plan?" Not to mention that the liquor store's business was not good and was fired, just say that the salary given by the liquor store was too low and the family income was insufficient.”
"Why do you say that?" Miao Jixiang asked curiously.”
"You resigned after all, didn't you?" Li Xian said. However, if the same thing was said in a different way, others would feel different when they heard it. It would also prevent your parents from…"
Li Xian paused for a moment, but the clever Miao Jixiang understood what he meant. Li Xian was afraid that she would be scolded by her parents. Miao Jixiang glanced gratefully at Li Xian and nodded vigorously.""Thank you, Big Brother Li. I understand!”
Li Xian smiled and said," By the way, when you have dinner tonight, remember to get more for your lazy sister. Don't let her burn her wrist when she goes to the stove to get rice."”
Miao Jixiang looked at Li Xian in astonishment. His sister scooped rice for herself every day. Why was her wrist scalded today?”
Li Xian sighed." I saw that her glabella was black, and I was afraid that there would be a bloody disaster. I calculated it with my fingers."”
Miao Jixiang tilted her head, clearly in disbelief. She even suspected that Li Xian was saying this on purpose because he despised her sister.
However, Li Xian believed that since he had already said so, she would definitely pay attention. He didn't say anything more, so he nodded at her and said,""I'm going out for a while. When my mother comes back, please tell her that I'm going to meet a few people.
An old friend, come back later!"
"Yes!" Miao Jixiang smiled sweetly. Thank you, Big Brother Li. You…are really a good person!”
Was this a good person card? Li Xian couldn't help but laugh. I don't feel comfortable listening to it."
" Oh…" Miao Jixiang looked at Li Xian's receding figure and shook her head inexplicably."You can't call him Dalang, and you can't call him a good person. Big Brother Li is really…a strange good person!”
There were three relatively large casinos in Lizhou, one of which was in Yunzhan Square, the closest to Li Xian's residence, only one square away. Cloud Inn Casino was located in the depths of the alley. The alley was narrow and curved like a sheep's intestines. Standing outside, one could not feel that there was a big one inside.
At the casino.
The bluestone floor at the entrance of the alley had been polished until it was shiny. There were families on both sides of the alley. The walls were low and the doors were not big. However, through some of the open doors, one could see the green vines and loofah hanging in the courtyard.
There were also square tables and stone chairs in the room. Although it was a little crowded, it was also elegant. Its area was not as small as the door outside.
Li Xian walked to the end of the alley and saw two men with raised eyebrows. They had their arms crossed and had a stalk of grass in their mouths as they leaned against the door frame and chatted. Gambling was strictly prohibited in the Tang Dynasty. Gamblers who were found to be gambling would be beaten with a hundred sticks and their family's floating property would be confiscated. If so, set up a bet
The law stipulated that those who took advantage of the situation would be allowed to steal. If they were caught gambling in the capital, they would be sentenced to death, and if they were caught gambling in the folk, they would be banished.
However, even so, there were always gambling dens among the people. The common people were afraid of revenge and might not dare to report it. Even if the constables and bad people were given some benefits, the gambling dens were still open openly. However, just in case, he still needed someone to guard the door.
Yes.
Seeing that someone was coming, the two men immediately glanced sideways. When they saw Li Xian's appearance, they immediately stood up straight.
Li Xian wasn't a regular here, but they knew him. He also knew that Li Xian had killed a halberd commander on the streets of a busy city with a butcher knife. The news that Li Xianmeng had been pardoned and returned to Lizhou was also told to everyone excitedly through tears of joy.
Lady Pan's words spread throughout the city.
These two burly men were both brave and ruthless people, but they had never killed anyone, let alone an official. Therefore, when he saw Li Xian, a sense of awe rose.
Li Xian stopped at the door and smiled humbly at the two of them.""I want to go in and take a look!"
Li Xian had been here before. He didn't gamble, but he studied martial arts. When he heard that anyone had some ability, he would spare no effort to chase after them, beg them to be his master, and learn their martial arts. One of the masters he had once worshipped was a regular at this Cloud Inn Casino.
The two big men guarding the door silently moved aside, and Li Xian walked in between them. The guard dog in the yard immediately barked wildly, but Li Xian ignored it. The dog was tied to the corner of the wall. He walked straight through the yard, pushed the door open, and left.
He entered.
The two burly men watched Li Xian's figure disappear into the courtyard, and one of them said,""I heard that people who have killed before have a strong killing intent, but looking at the appearance of the Li family's eldest son, he doesn't look fierce. Moreover, he seemed to be much more amiable than before.”
"That's because he didn't kill enough!" Another man said. Look at Guo Nu, he's like that after being stained with human blood.”
The leader of the group shivered and tightened his arms."Don't mention his name to me. That person was full of killing intent. Not to mention seeing him, just thinking about it makes me a little scared!”
Li Xian pushed open the door and walked in. Behind the door was a rectangular courtyard. In the courtyard, there were gambling tables set up under the surrounding corridors. The half-naked, disheveled men were shouting and throwing dice and playing dominoes.
They were gambling happily.
Li Xian's arrival did not attract the attention of the gamblers at all. Pairs of bloodshot eyes were staring at the dice spinning on their tables, and their hands were holding sweaty dominoes. At this time, they were too lazy to care even if the fire had gone out. Whoever cared would come in.
Li Xian smiled, touched the five copper coins his mother had given him, and strolled over.
