Chapter 870 Cult Members
Soon, Li Hua came over.
"Boss, I worked so hard to find evidence, and you guys came here too? Did you already know there was something wrong with this official?"
Zhang Haibo and Zhou Maoyuan were drinking in a restaurant opposite the casino.
By the way, observe the situation inside the casino. The conditions in the restaurant are very convenient, and the view from the second floor is quite far.
So, Li Hua sensed the aura of the two of them.
He sneaked over immediately.
Zhang Haibo smiled and said, "Li Hua, you are here too. Come and have a drink. The county magistrate should have another identity. Let's observe first and then make other plans!"
In some cases, you need to take your time. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.
Now that the abnormality has been discovered, Zhang Haibo is no longer in a hurry. In fact, he had already discovered that there was something wrong with the county magistrate.
Who is so stupid to let such a prosperous wharf be occupied by Black Wind Mountain?
You have to know that in the daily life of a busy dock, all kinds of trading goods come and go, and enough taxes can be collected every day. Even ordinary people can't give up such benefits, let alone the county magistrate here?
If there is anything abnormal, it must be a demon!
Therefore, Zhang Haibo paid attention to this seemingly low-key county magistrate.
No matter how cunning a fox is, it cannot escape the eyes of a hunter, so it is very likely that the county magistrate is in collusion with the evil cult here.
Zhou Maoyuan doesn't talk when he drinks, but Li Hua talks a lot!
"Okay, drinking is good, but drinking is also very disruptive. Boss, are you sure you're not afraid that I'll get drunk?"
Li Hua picked up the wine jug and poured wine directly into the bowl in front of him.
He didn't even bother to eat the food, he just gulped down the whole bowl like water: "This wine is too light, it's not fun to drink!"
"Fortunately, I always bring good wine with me! Moreover, it is the finest wine from the Imperial City..."
Li Hua shook his head and took out a pot of top-quality wine from the space. He started drinking without caring about the occasion!
The aroma of wine filled the air and drifted around, and soon the entire second floor of the restaurant was filled with the aroma of wine.
There are customers looking for directions.
A certain big man was very dissatisfied: "Boss, since you have such fine wine, why didn't you bring it out earlier? Do you look down on me, a rough man rowing on the sea? If so, I will never come here to drink again! It's really unlucky that you are reluctant to bring out good things. Are you looking down on me?"
"That's right, boss. I've been coming here to drink and eat for several years. I never thought you would be such a person!"
"Hurry up and bring the good wine!" Someone shouted loudly and deliberately made trouble.
These people felt that things were not lively, which led to many people who did not know the truth expressing their dissatisfaction and anger towards the shopkeeper.
When things got to this point, the shopkeeper quickly tried to calm things down.
"Everyone, this distinguished guest is drinking the fine wine he brought with him! Don't get me wrong, I've seen this kind of wine before, it's only sold in the Imperial City Restaurant..."
It's not something ordinary people can afford. The shopkeeper swallowed his saliva and dared not say anything.
As soon as you see the packaging of this wine, you know it is definitely not an ordinary thing. It can be seen that the three people who drank it are definitely not ordinary people. They should be from Kyoto. Perhaps what happened in Black Wind Mountain last night is related to them!
The shopkeeper's heart trembled, and he quickly suppressed his thoughts.
The more you know, the faster you die.
……
After leaving the restaurant, Zhang Haibo and the other two entered the gambling house across the street.
The air inside was polluted, and there were many people from all walks of life gambling inside, shouting and yelling, it was so lively!
Some people are extremely happy, which shows that they must be the lucky ones who won the money.
Some people have a bad temper and continue to bet while slamming the table. They may have already lost the bet, but they don’t care and are completely crazy...
The various aspects of human nature can be seen from this. Many people in casinos are greedy!
Only the owner of the casino is the ultimate winner, so the biggest winner in the world is the banker!
one way or another,
The final winner can only be the dealer, so the biggest profit project is monopoly, it has been like this since ancient times!
Moreover, since ancient times, money-making projects have not changed their true nature.
The first is, of course, usury. Many people have lost everything because of borrowing money. Usury can be said to be a vicious cycle.
The second type is brothels, which is a no-cost business, and many wealthy men are tempted by beauty.
Being physically drained at a young age not only shortens one’s lifespan, but also causes more diseases!
Li Hua was the best at gambling. Not long after he sat down at the table, he won a lot of money in succession in full view of everyone.
This immediately attracted the special attention of people in the gambling house.
Two men came over, their eyes full of suspicion: "You must have cheated just now! Why did you win so much when others won and lost? There must be something wrong with you!"
When the people around saw this situation, they all showed an expression of watching a show.
Li Hua sneered, "What? In this gambling house, you only allow people to lose money, but not win money? Haha, what kind of rule is this! You are too mean, if you were in the Imperial City, you would have been beaten to death if you dared to do this!"
In just a few moments, Li Hua had won more than 2000 taels of silver. In the mortal cities of the cultivation world, silver is naturally the common currency for ordinary people to live in, and its purchasing value is also relatively high.
Normal currency was copper coins, which was similar to the ancient times on Earth.
"boom!"
The manager of the casino slammed the table hard. Their daily profit was at most a few hundred silver coins.
Li Hua won so much silver with just one move.
So the people in the casino became anxious!
You know, they have to pay half of their profits to their superiors every month. These gambling experts are here to make money.
How can this be allowed? So this kind of money grabbing behavior must be stopped.
In the eyes of casino managers, Li Hua was just cutting their flesh.
At the same time, it’s also a money grab!
"Bang bang bang..."
Li Hua sneered and directly beat up these managers. These rubbish were just taking advantage of the power of others.
These damn things have caused countless families to lose their fortunes!
There is a casino in front and a special secret place for gatherings in the back. Li Hua had already noticed something unusual in the back.
The hypocritical county magistrate, dressed as an ordinary wealthy businessman, was behind the yard.
There is a casino in the front and the place in the back is the central location for cult gatherings, where important figures from the cult occasionally come for meetings.
Today is a special day, as it happens to be the day when the middle-level leaders of the cult are having a meeting!
Inside the dark house.
"Sir, what happened last night? As a high-ranking member of Qiudao's sect, why didn't you send us a message before?!"
The dozen or so cult members present are all cultivators at the Golden Core realm.
County Magistrate Liu shook his head and said, "The situation has been a little special recently. The strong men from the Imperial City Worship Hall came to Qiu Island yesterday afternoon to carry out a mission. I came here this time to warn you to keep a low profile and never be discovered..."
