"Now that you've noticed them, why don't you meet and talk?"

The smoker asked lazily, "What's the point of leaving a letter? Is it interesting?"

Fu Qingzhou smiled and said, "It's very interesting. Don't you think this is very martial arts-like? It makes me look like a mysterious master?"

heavy smoker:"……"

Fu Qingzhou was too lazy to explain to it and returned to the inn.

The letter he left behind was a small riddle. He wondered if the women in black who were quietly following him could understand it. If they could, they might not be his enemies...

But now is not the time to think about these things. In the next few days, he has to deal with Gu Zhengqing first.

In the next two days, Fu Qingzhou went to the casino every day, gambling from day to night.

I have to say, gambling is really addictive.

Even if he goes there with the intention of losing money, even if he knows clearly that gambling is harmful, even if the money thrown on the gambling table is no longer a lot of money for him, he will still get excited and irritable at certain moments.

No wonder gambling has been around since ancient times and is listed as one of the three evils.

On the second day at the casino, he did not lose all his money again. Instead, he won some. It was not until the third day that he lost all his money. This time he was so angry that he pointed at the dealer and cursed him for cheating. He almost got into a fight with others and finally overturned the gambling table and left the casino angrily.

When Fu Qingzhou kicked open the door of the casino, he understood that the casino owner should be able to believe to some extent that... he was a fat sheep.

Then he stood on the street, rummaged around, and took out a jade ring from his clothes, revealing a look of pain.

But just as he was about to set out on the road to the pawn shop, two figures blocked his way.

"Bro?"

The man with the scar on his face forced a kind smile and said, "Want to go to the pawn shop to exchange money?"

This person was none other than Brother Dao, and the person next to him was of course Brother Sha who had traveled with him before.

But Fu Qingzhou naturally shouldn't recognize them at the moment. A hint of doubt flashed across his face at first, and then he immediately became alert. He took two steps back, clutching the jade ring: "Who are you? I don't have any money!"

Brother Sha smiled and said, "We came here because we know you have no money."

"We are not bad people." Brother Dao took over the conversation and pointed to the casino nearby: "We work here."

Fu Qingzhou was startled: "You, are you from the casino?"

"Yes!"

Brother Sha raised his head and said, "Brother, are you having fun with us these days?"

A trace of struggle flashed across Fu Qingzhou's face: "I've lost too much... I can't gamble anymore..."

As he said this, he looked down at the ring in his hand and gritted his teeth: "Just once! One more time, I will definitely make a comeback!"

"Well said, you will definitely make a comeback!"

Brother Dao walked up to Fu Qingzhou and put his arm around his shoulders, laughing and saying, "You are a handsome man with extraordinary temperament. You will definitely make a profit... No, not only will you make a profit, you will also make a lot of money!"

Fu Qingzhou was a little confused: "What do you want to do?"

"nothing."

Brother Sha laughed and said, "Our master sees that you have good gambling qualities and doesn't want to see you lose more and more, so he wants to lend you some money so that you can have fun at our house."

Fu Qingzhou's eyes flashed with vigilance again, and he twisted Dao Ge's arm away: "I don't want to borrow money! I have something to pledge, I can go to the pawn shop to exchange money, I don't need to borrow!"

Brother Sha and Brother Dao looked at each other, with some gloom in their eyes.

But they concealed this very well. Brother Dao said mysteriously, "Brother, you are going to the pawn shop at the end of the next street, right?"

Fu Qingzhou was startled: "Yes, yes?"

"Hey."

Brother Sha sneered, "You know... Let me tell you, that pawn shop is extremely shady. They can even say that something worth 500 taels is only worth 50 taels! If you go to pawn something there, you will definitely be cheated!"

Fu Qingzhou's face turned black: "How, how is it possible!" "Why is it impossible?"

Brother Dao looked at the jade ring and asked, "Do you know how much this thing is worth?"

Fu Qingzhou shook his head hesitantly.

Brother Dao pointed at Brother Sha and said, "My brother's family used to be a jade dealer. He knows the business very well. If you don't believe me, why don't you ask him to check it out and give you a price first, and then go to the pawnshop and ask?"

"..."

After hesitating for a moment, Fu Qingzhou whispered, "Then you just look at it, you can't take it away."

"Okay!" Brother Sha agreed immediately.

He circled the jade ring in Fu Qingzhou's hand several times, examining it carefully and exclaiming in amazement.

"Great, great, this is top-quality old pit jadeite. This kind of water is the best. Old pit jadeite is rare, and the color, transparency, and texture of this ring have reached the top. After years of precipitation, a thick patina has formed on the surface..."

Looking at a gangster-like man, speaking a lot of professional jade material terms, Fu Qingzhou's eyes were very strange.

But it also shows from the side that this guy might really be a professional.

But this statement must be exaggerated, otherwise how can it show the difference from a pawnshop?

Sure enough, after looking at the ring, Brother Sha stretched out his hand and gestured, lowering his voice and saying, "Little brother, your treasure is worth at least six hundred taels!"

Fu Qingzhou was surprised and delighted: "Six hundred taels?!"

"good."

Brother Sha nodded and said, "Our master also accepts collateral, but you know the rules of the casino. It is impossible to give you 600 taels as collateral. A small discount is inevitable. The specific amount depends on the master's decision, but it won't be too low."

Fu Qingzhou looked down at the ring in his hand: "The pawnshop..."

"You can go ahead."

Brother Dao laughed and said, "If the price he offers is higher than this... No, even if it's the same, you can still ask him to do it, and we won't say no!"

Fu Qingzhou left, looking back every few steps, leaving his two brothers behind.

"What is that thing like?" Brother Dao asked in a low voice.

Brother Sha laughed and said, "It's just a common Huaqing variety, but the workmanship is pretty good, worth thirty or fifty taels."

The two looked at each other and smiled sinisterly at the same time.

Not long after, Fu Qingzhou came back angrily, cursing as he walked.

"You old son of a bitch, you said my precious treasure is only worth thirty taels!"

"Damn it, this is six hundred taels! Six hundred taels of good stuff!"

"That jade from the day before yesterday must have been a scam! When I win back the money, I will redeem it!"

Brother Dao and Brother Sha waited there, as if they could not hear these words. When Fu Qingzhou approached, they asked kindly, "Little brother, what's wrong?"

Fu Qingzhou did not hesitate and waved his hand vigorously: "I'm here to resist you!"

"okay!"

The two men were waiting for these words, and immediately stood on either side of him, holding him in the middle with their arms around his shoulders, and walked towards the casino.

When they arrived at the entrance of the casino, the killer asked casually, "Young man, you are so handsome, are you married?"

Fu Qingzhou's mind raced, thinking of the fact that almost all of those who were killed had sold their children, so he smiled and said, "Hey, I have a beautiful little wife in the country..."

As soon as these words came out, Brother Sha and Brother Dao smiled brightly and said, "Brother, you are awesome! Come on, let's talk inside—"
