The shopkeeper, who had been keeping an eye on Qu Li, was shocked when he heard this.
How does this person know that the real owner behind Jixiang Casino is the eldest prince?
He didn't know whether the eldest prince would be in trouble if the news got out, but he would definitely take his head off and use it as a stool!
He quickly suppressed the doubts and speculations in his heart and came to Qu Li with a gloomy face.
"Young Master, please stop talking nonsense! Be careful of your words!"
Qu Li tilted his head, looking like a fool.
"What a mouthful of trouble! My father said that the one ranked first is the greatest and the most favored! Can't the eldest prince make the decision? Do you look down on the eldest prince, or do you think he is a fool who can't even handle such a small matter?"
The shopkeeper clenched his fists, his palms itching terribly, and he really wanted to slap Qu Li.
This guy is definitely a fucking idiot!
How dare he say that the eldest prince is a fool?
But we dare not say that the eldest prince is ranked first and is the most favored among the princes!
Otherwise, how could the eldest prince, as the eldest son, who should definitely be named the crown prince, do so many things in secret over the years?
Various discussions were heard around. The shopkeeper was uneasy, worried that Qu Li's nonsense would implicate the eldest prince and even put his own life in danger. So he said, "Young Master, it's a mess downstairs. How about we go upstairs to play?"
Qu Li shook his head without even thinking, "No! What if you want to rob me of my money? I was followed as soon as I left the gambling house yesterday!"
"I won some money before, but someone hit me with a club from behind and stole all the money. From what I heard from that fool, could it be someone arranged by the Jixiang Casino?"
“That’s too much!”
"It's the largest gambling house in the capital, yet it's doing such a dirty thing. It's simply too much!"
"Yes, shameless!"
The crowd was outraged and surrounded the shopkeeper, vowing to seek justice.
The shopkeeper saw that things were not going well, his eyebrows twitched violently, and he called out his thugs.
The casino thugs were all burly and strong, with the flesh on their faces jumping and looking very vicious.
The casino fell silent in an instant.
Qu Li screamed, "This casino is taking human lives so lightly. This is unjust! Grand Prince, you need the divine protection. Please come out and help us! This is horrible!"
The shopkeeper's temples were throbbing, but he was patient and resisted the urge to crush Qu Li to death. He said good-temperedly, "My dear young master, our Jixiang Casino has been open in the capital for so many years and nothing has ever happened! If you do this, you will really get yourself into trouble."
"What's the meaning?"
The shopkeeper is tired.
He winked at the two thugs closest to Qu Li, and they twisted Qu Li's arms and forcibly dragged her to the second floor.
Along the way, Qu Li kept shouting at the top of his voice, calling the eldest prince.
When the door of the private room closed, the shopkeeper's ears were still ringing with the sound of "Grand Prince, Grand Prince".
He pressed his eyebrows and pushed the door open.
Qu Li stared at him warily, "I left a note for my father. If I don't return before dawn, my father will go to find the eldest prince!"
The shopkeeper looked silently at the beams of the house and gnashed his yellow teeth with a creaking sound.
"Don't be afraid, young master! I see you're really lucky, and the people downstairs are just rough. How about I play a couple of rounds with you in this private room on the second floor? I guarantee you'll have a blast. What do you think?"
Qu Li supported his cheek with one hand, and his black and white eyes stared straight at the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and when he tried to take a closer look, Qu Li had returned to his foolish and ferocious appearance.
He frowned, thinking to himself that he might have been dazzled and seen it wrong.
"Okay! But if I win later, the shopkeeper must not deny it!"
"That's definitely not the case. After all, the Jixiang Casino has been open in the capital for so many years."
Qu Li nodded wildly: "Yes, if the shopkeeper dares to turn his face and deny his promise, I will find the eldest prince!"
Perhaps he had heard it so many times that it almost became a demonic sound, or perhaps he was worried that the eldest prince would be exposed as the mastermind behind the Jixiang Casino. When the shopkeeper heard the three words "eldest prince", the blood in his body rushed straight to his head.
He looked at Qu Li deeply again, and without further investigation, the two of them started playing Pai Gow.
At first, Qu Li kept losing, and the shopkeeper couldn't help but feel complacent.
Qu Li was angry and put all his silver on the line in a rage.
The shopkeeper thought that everything would go smoothly for him, but unexpectedly, Qu Li was extremely lucky. Not only did he win back all his losses, but he also won a lot more.
When she won three games in a row, the shopkeeper was in great trouble.
Once your mind is in chaos, you will feel uneasy and lose more.
Qu Li looked at the thick stack of banknotes in front of him and smiled happily.
"Boss, are you still coming?"
The shopkeeper narrowed his eyes.
He wanted to find evidence that Qu Li was cheating, but he found nothing.
She is just extremely lucky!
"The last round!"
The shopkeeper was about to pawn the few remaining banknotes, but Qu Li stood up.
"I don't want to play anymore."
"Young Master, your luck is at its peak. If you leave now, wouldn't that be a waste of your good fortune?"
Qu Li curled his lips and said, "I have so many banknotes in my hand, how many does the shopkeeper have? My father said that we should be smart and not do business that will lose money! Also, suffering a loss is not a blessing, it is stupid!"
The shopkeeper sneered, "Then I'll ask the accountant to get the silver."
"Then, shopkeeper, please have someone get the silver first. I'm going to the toilet!"
The shopkeeper was afraid that she would slip away, so he had someone keep an eye on her.
After Qu Li went to the toilet, he slipped into the space and ran back to the private room on the second floor as fast as he could.
The shopkeeper ordered the accountant to go to the vault to get the banknotes, and ordered another servant to light a drug that could cause hallucinations.
In the space, Qu Li's eyes gradually became cold.
She sneered: "Since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust!"
When the accountant left the private room, he felt like someone was following him.
He paused, turned around abruptly, and saw nothing. He touched his forehead, thinking that he might be too nervous.
Afraid that the shopkeeper would get impatient, he quickened his pace.
Qu Li followed him all the way to the outside of the silver vault and observed the surroundings.
There are a lot of thugs, and they seem to be more powerful than those in the gambling house before.
When the accountant opened the vault, he felt something brushing against him. The hairs on his body stood on end and his breathing became tight.
"Who?"
The thug's voice came from outside the door: "What's wrong?"
The accountant looked around but didn't see anything. He muttered to himself, "I really need to get some sleep tonight. I'm having hallucinations."
"The treasury is a sensitive place. Take the silver out quickly." The thug reminded in a deep voice.
“Right away, right away!”
The accountant responded, took the banknotes and left the vault without noticing that Qu Li was still inside.
