MTL - I Made a Fortune By Raiding Houses In Ancient Times-Chapter 66 Gambling house (first update)

Ling Chu raised his fingers and counted, then frowned.

Hu Batian wanted to use the Ge family and his daughter to pay off his debt last time, but she stopped him. Unexpectedly, he persisted in his evil intentions.

Worried that something might happen to Liu Xiangju’s maid, Ling Chu did not hesitate, got on the carriage and went straight to Changle Gambling House.

She was so anxious that the coachman rushed to the gambling house as quickly as possible.

Lingchu got off the carriage, and Xia Zhi's maid followed closely.

 In a place like a gambling house, there is a mixture of fish and dragons. Ling Chu originally wanted the maid to stay in the carriage and wait for her.

But Xia Zhi disagreed. No master would go to a dangerous place, while the maid stayed in a safe place and waited.

Lingchu was worried that it was too late. Something happened to Liu Xiangju's maid. Seeing Xia Zhi's insistence, he didn't try to persuade her.

He took Xia Zhi to the entrance of the gambling house, but was stopped.

At the gate of Changlefang, the two men guarding the gate frowned and said impatiently, "Girl, you must have gone to the wrong place. This is a gambling house, not the place you should be, so hurry up and leave."

Ling Chu glanced at them and didn't bother to beat around the bush, "I'm looking for Hu Batian."

The two gatekeepers looked at each other. When they heard that she was looking for Hu Batian, their attitude softened, but they did not let her in.

"The gambling house is a place for gambling. If you want to find Brother Hu, just wait outside."

Ling Chu frowned and took out a banknote from his sleeve pocket, "I'm not looking for anyone, so I can go in and gamble, right?"

 The gambling house opens its doors to welcome customers from all over the world. Anyone who comes to gamble is welcome, regardless of whether you are a man or a woman.

Ling Chu took out the money directly and made it clear that he wanted to go in and gamble. The two gatekeepers had no reason to stop her, so they stepped aside and welcomed her in with smiles on their faces.

 Entering the gambling house, not far inside, all kinds of noisy sounds rushed towards me.

Changle Gambling House is a famous casino in Beijing. At this time, it was crowded with people, all of whom were concentrating around the gambling table. Ling Chu's arrival did not attract anyone's attention.

 Only the casino steward noticed.

Although most of the people who come to the casino are men, there are also women.

Some noble ladies from aristocratic families will come to the casino to play a few games when they are bored.

 But most of those girls came to see the world with their brothers at home.

Like this girl who only brought a little maid here, although it cannot be said to be unique, it is not rare.

 Manager Wu's eyes paused on Ling Chu's face, and he quickly came over with a smile on his face.

 “Girl, what do you want to play?”

When Ling first saw how he was dressed, he guessed he was the manager of the casino.

Seeing her looking at him, Steward Wu said with a smile, "I am the steward of Changlefang, my surname is Wu. I don't know what the girl wants to play. If you don't understand, I can introduce it to you."

Ling Chu glanced at him and said directly, "I don't gamble. I came here to see Hu Batian for something."

Wu Guanshi originally thought that she was a noble lady from a certain family who came to the gambling house out of curiosity, but unexpectedly he guessed wrong.

Hearing that she was looking for Hu Batian, the smile on her face faded, "Hu Batian is not in Changlefang. If you want to find someone, please look elsewhere."

Ling Chu frowned again. This gambling house was a mixed bag of fish and dragons, and all kinds of smells filled his nose. She has a keen sense of smell and this is torture for her.

 She didn't want to stay here any longer.

She had calculated before that Hu Batian was clearly in Changlefang.

 Could it be that he left before she arrived?

Lingchu glanced at Guanshi Wu and felt that this man seemed to be lying.

Since she had doubts, she simply opened the system.

 After scanning the entire gambling house, Hu Batian's location was quickly discovered.

This Changle Gambling House has three floors. In addition to the bottom floor, there are two floors above.

Hu Batian was in a private room on the second floor at this time. Liu Xiangju was being escorted to her knees by two men. On the chair in front of her, a man in his thirties was looking down at her.

After finding Liu Xiangju, Ling Chu turned around and walked towards the stairs. Seeing that she wanted to go upstairs, Manager Nawu took a few steps quickly and blocked the stairs.

“Girl, this is a gambling house, so you can’t wander around. If you want to find someone, you’d better go somewhere else.”

The stairs were blocked, so Ling Chu could only stop and said, "I have something urgent to see Hu Batian, and I would like to ask Manager Wu to send a message."

"I said, Hu Batian is not in Changlefang. If the girl wants to see him, it is better to go to his house and look for him."

 “Guanshi Wu, I know Hu Batian is up there.”

Manager Wu was surprised. This girl had just arrived. How could she know that Hu Batian was there?

 This is probably a scam.

Wuguanshi's face darkened, "Girl, you are not allowed to act recklessly here. I told you that Hu Batian is not here, so he is not here."

Whether she guessed or really knew that Hu Batian was up there, there was no way he would let the girl go up there.

 Manager Tao had given instructions earlier that no one was allowed to come up and disturb him.

Lingchu didn't know why the black steward kept preventing her from seeing Hu Batian, but she had to take Liu Xiangju away today.

“Hu Batian robbed my maid, I must see him today.”

Manager Wu was stunned. He knew that Hu Batian had indeed brought a girl over earlier, saying that he had bought it for Manager Tao.

Is it possible that the girl is actually the maid in front of you?

 Or was it stolen?

 How could a person who was in the hands of Steward Tao be returned?

 No matter whether he was robbed or bought, after entering Changlefang, he is the person in charge of Tao affairs.

"This is a gambling house, but there are no maids. I'm afraid the girl has made a mistake. If you want to find a maid, look for it elsewhere. If you dare to cause trouble again, don't blame me for being rude and asking someone to drag you out."

With a wave of his hand, Wu Guanshi was immediately surrounded by seven or eight powerful men.

At this glance, you can tell that he is a thug raised by a gambling house.

Lingchu sighed. She didn't like fighting at all. Why did these people insist on forcing her?

When Xia Zhi saw so many thugs, she swallowed nervously, quietly tugged on Ling Chu's sleeves, and whispered, "Girl, why don't we go back first, and then find a way to find someone to rescue Xiangju."

Although he was worried about Liu Xiangju, Ling Chu was the master. Xia Zhi was worried that something would happen to her in the gambling house, and was so anxious that he wanted to take her away immediately.

Ling Chu patted the back of her hand comfortingly, "Don't worry, it's okay."

 She is not a reckless person if she dares to bring Xia Zhi to the casino alone.

 Fortunately, she had rested enough in the past two days and drank some health medicine today. Her body feels okay now.

Seeing the thugs coming around, Ling Chu pretended to be scared and wanted to take the maid back.

But the moment he turned around, he flipped his wrist and took out the stack of holding charms he had just drawn yesterday.

 Before the thugs could react, they raised their hands.

 She threw the stack of holding charms onto the thugs.

Wuguanshi didn’t expect that she would take action and was stunned for a moment.

Although the thugs saw Ling Chu's movements, they saw that what she threw out seemed to be paper, so they didn't take it seriously.

Thinking that the girl was just blocked, she was angry but had no choice but to throw out the papers she was carrying to vent her dissatisfaction.

How could these thugs think that what Ling Chu threw out was a talisman.

By the time you realize something is wrong, it's already too late.
