Chapter 563 Intentions

When Tan Zong heard that Huo Laojiu had actually bet 4,000 taels, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. It seemed that this guy wanted to work hard once and for all, and he squeezed out his money at one time.

Although Tan Zong won, the two maids beside Tan Zong were not happy at all, and there was a deep worry between his eyebrows: Huo Laojiu lost 4,000 taels of silver, plus the previous 1,200 taels, how could he give up? Tan Zong is really in danger now.

"I am happy today. Since I have won, I will have a share of the meeting. You will get one hundred taels of silver next time." Tan Zong noticed the concern in the eyes of the two maids, smiled slightly, reached out to hug the two girls in his arms, and said carelessly.

"Thank you, young master." The two maids forced themselves to smile when they heard this. The more they were kind to them, the more worried they were about Tan Zong. They were very nervous. For some reason, they felt that Tan Zong had a special charm that made them difficult to speak, which invisibly attracted them.

"Shameless." Seeing that Tan Zong gave the two maids 100 taels of silver, Lian'er couldn't help but feel angry. She raised her mouth and glared at Tan Zong hatefully, and cursed in her heart: According to this flowery way of spending money, sooner or later, it will fall on a woman and ruin her family property.

After counting Huo Laojiu's bets, You Wuniang nodded to Lian'er, Lian'er walked towards Tan Zong, and reached out to lift the basin that was buckled in front of him.

"Let's wait!" As soon as Lian'er's hand reached the basin, Tan Zong suddenly called her. Lian'er then withdrew her hand and looked at Tan Zong with some suspicion, not sure what happened to Tan Zong.

"Boss You, I want to ask you, will your casino interfere with the grievances between gamblers?" As everyone was watching, Tan Zong raised his head, smiled slightly at You Wuniang, and asked quietly.

"The casino never asks about the private affairs between the guests." You Wuniang heard Tan Zong's implicit meaning, and asked herself whether the casino would favor Mu Laojiu when Tan Zong and Huo Laojiu started a fight. After her eyebrows frowned slightly, she replied with a smile. It's not that she doesn't want to help Huo Laojiu, but that the casino does have this rule and cannot be broken.

Huo Laojiu also understood what Tan Zong meant, and a sneer flashed across the corner of his mouth. Chenglingji Town is the territory of the bandits in Dongting Lake. If Tan Zong dared to overestimate himself, then he would let Tan Zong have no return.

"That's good." Hearing this, Tan Zong nodded and said to Lian'er with a smile, "This sister, you can start."

"Who is your sister!" Lian'er muttered in her heart, and couldn't help rolling her eyes at Tan Zong, then lifted the dial in front of Tan Zong, took out the small black pocket inside, and turned back to the seat where she had been standing before.

On the way back, Lian'er touched the small black pocket, which was bulging inside, as if there were a lot of silver notes stuffed. She couldn't help but feel a little curious about how many silver notes Tan Zong had put in the bag.

After standing firmly at the gambling table, Lian'er opened her small black pocket in front of everyone, poured it down, and a stack of silver notes fell on the table. After she picked up the stack of silver notes and flipped it, her eyes couldn't help but look shocked.

There were ten silver notes with a denomination of 500 taels and a silver bar with a casino seal in the stack of silver notes. The content on the silver bars showed that Tan Zong had 1,200 taels of chips on the counter, and these chips were won when he was betting with Huo Laojiu before.

Lian'er never expected that Tan Zong would bet 6,200 taels of silver this time, which made the total bet of this bet exceed 10,000 taels!

In other words, apart from the four thousand taels of silver, Huo Laojiu has to give Tan Zong another two thousand two hundred taels of silver!

"The person who came was not kind!" You Wuniang, who was standing beside Lian'er, also saw Tan Zong's bet. Liu Qiao couldn't help but frowned deeper, and she sighed in her heart.

"Mr. Li is betting, 6,200 taels of silver." After carefully checking Tan Zong's silver notes, Lian'er pondered for a moment and announced to Huo Laojiu with a sweet voice.

"What?" Huo Laojiu was shocked when he heard this and looked at Tan Zong in shock. He could not have imagined that Tan Zong would make such a huge sum of silver for the first time he placed a blind bet.

Not only Huo Laojiu, but everyone at the scene were shocked and looked at Tan Zong in unbelievable. Pan Renjie stared at Tan Zong with some disbelief, his mouth slightly opened. The two maids looked incredible, and the eyes of Tan Zong were filled with complex expressions.

Tan Zong knew that he had become the focus of everyone's attention and did not speak. He just smiled and looked at You Wuniang. Since You Wuniang was in charge of the gambling game, she had to ask Huo Laojiu for the missing 2,200 taels of silver according to the rules. Tan Zong was sure that Huo Laojiu had no extra silver on hand.

Seeing this, You Wuniang couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Although Mr. Li looked like a cynical and slutty young man on the surface, she was actually very smart at heart. Judging from the previous situation, I'm afraid that Mr. Huo Laojiu was caught by Mr. Li's trap and did not "kill" Mr. Li, but was "slaughtered" by Mr. Li as a fat sheep. She felt very strange in her heart. With Mr. Li's shrewdness, she should not take the initiative to cause trouble for Mr. Huo Laojiu. What happened here?

"Master Huo, you still have 2,200 taels of silver." After stabilizing your mind for a while, You Wuniang looked at Huo Laojiu with a pale face and said quietly. She knew that Huo Laojiu had no money at hand and wanted to see how he cleaned up the mess he was currently.

"Young Master Li, I'm not sure about it. I have no money anymore and am willing to use future income to mortgage it." Huo Laojiu clenched his fist hard and let it go, and said Hongsheng.

"Future profit?" Tan Zong immediately guessed what the profit was in Huo Laojiu's mouth. It seemed that this guy was already anxious and was about to use the money from the fleet to buy the road. So he asked with a smile, "I'm willing to hear it carefully."

"The fleet passing Dongting Lake has to pay a sum of silver for me. I will use this sum of money to mortgage those insufficient silver." Huo Laojiu smiled slightly and said coldly to Tan Zong. He said this to him that he had already told Tan Zong about his identity as a bandit in Dongting Lake. Next, let's see if Tan Zong is ignorant.

"Master Huo, if you have a certain profit in a certain chamber of trade, then you are willing to accept it." Hearing this, Tan Zong pondered for a moment, looked at Huo Laojiu with a smile, "I can't ask for the money you just said, and I dare not ask for it."

"Boy, Mr. Huo is worthy of your face. Don't toast or not to eat and punish you!" Huo Laojiu's face suddenly sank. He found that Tan Zong was not afraid of his identity as a lake bandit. At this time, a big man standing behind Huo Laojiu reached out and pointed at Tan Zong and said viciously.

As soon as the man finished speaking, a white light came towards his outstretched arm. Then he screamed "ahoh", covered his arms and took a step back, and a look of pain appeared on his face. Blood flowed out along the fingers he covered his arms. Everyone looked closely and a flying knife stabbed accurately on his arm.

"If you dare to be rude to my young master again, I will kill you!" At this time, Chen San, who was standing beside Tan Zong, spoke slowly, staring at the injured man expressionlessly, his eyes full of strong murderous intent. His and Shen Si to Qiao Yu's blessings were also trained by Uncle Fu in Yangzhou City, and his skills have already improved.

After a while, several big men standing behind Huo Laojiu pulled out the knife from their waists and pointed it at Chen San. The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"Young Master Li doesn't believe it?" Huo Laojiu frowned slightly when he saw that Tan Zong's people dared to hurt his subordinates. Since he knew his identity and dared to attack his people, it seemed that the Young Master Li in front of him was not simple. He finally realized that he had encountered a difficult person, so he stared at Tan Zong coldly and asked expressionlessly.

"Master Huo, I'll just ask one question below. Can you really be the master of those silver?" Tan Zong did not answer Huo Laojiu's question, but asked meaningfully. It was obvious that the money to buy roads was to be handed over to the nests of the bandits in Dongting Lake. Huo Laojiu was just a manager and was not qualified to deal with the silver.

Huo Laojiu was stunned when he heard this. He didn't know how to answer this question for a moment. He could use the name of this silver to bet against Tan Zong, but he could not admit that he could be the owner of these silvers. As Tan Zong said, he was just a person who collected money here and had to hand over the silver to Dongting Lake.

Since Tan Zong asked this, Huo Laojiu knew that he could not fool him, and at the same time it also explained that Mr. Li in front of him was prepared and could clearly understand his background.

"Good boy, Mr. Huo actually missed the truth." Recalling the series of things that happened around Tan Zong today, Huo Laojiu suddenly understood. Could it be that Mr. Li came for him, so he sneered and asked Tan Zong, "Did you deliberately let Lao San steal the wallet?"

"It's just a coincidence." Seeing that Huo Laojiu suspected him, Tan Zong smiled slightly, no longer hid it, and said in a deep voice.

"So, your goal was to set it down at the beginning?" Huo Laojiu asked gloomyly after hearing this.

"That's right." Tan Zong nodded, not denying it.

"Does there be a grudge between us?" Hearing this, Huo Laojiu stared at Tan Zong's eyes, "Or are you employed by others?"

Huo Laojiu killed countless people in his life, so he naturally made many enemies. There must be more than one or two people who wanted his life. However, he did not expect that the other party would dare to come to Hongyun Casino to cause trouble for him. You must know that the people in this casino are all his people.
