Shen Qingwu looked at the man with a painful expression and shook his head. "That's not entirely true. The Mao Guishen might have influenced you at first, but later on, your feelings for her also grew over time."
"What about her? Has she ever loved me?" Xiao Jingchen pressed his aching heart and asked desperately.
Shen Qingwu looked a little distressed and sincerely suggested, "I personally feel that matters of the heart are not something that can be influenced by ghosts and gods. You can go back and ask her yourself."
Of the few things she had heard, sincerity was the most precious. All the magic, sorcery, demons, and monsters could not influence a person's sincerity, nor could they even erase a person's memory of another person.
…
Shen Qingwu has been going in and out of Wangyue Tower these days, and learned many secrets of Kyoto City through Xiao Qingyi.
Every time she goes in and out, she inadvertently bumps into many people and knows countless secrets.
After several contacts, she finally accurately identified the person who wanted to frame the Shen family most directly - Kang Shuo.
Kang Shuo is a subordinate of the Dianke of the Nine Ministers and is in charge of the fire order. He is an inconspicuous minor official among the great officials, but he has the opportunity to get involved in some important affairs.
The Grand Councilor was in charge of foreign relations and border affairs.
Kang Shuo wanted to slander the Shen family by accusing them of treason, but he didn't even need to forge evidence. He just used some benefits as bait and the barbarians joined forces with him.
Shen Qingwu stood at the door of Wangyue Tower with the "Cornucopia" contract he had just obtained and a few silver bills he had asked for from Xiao Qingyi. He glanced at the sun and strode towards the gambling house at the end of the street.
Kang Shuo had three sons and two daughters, none of whom were married. The eldest son, Kang An, was born out of wedlock and was Kang Shuo's favorite.
Kang An gave up because he had no chance to inherit the family business. He was lured into becoming addicted to gambling. Gradually, his temper became very bad and he had more and more fights with people in the casino, but nothing serious happened.
The person behind this casino is Prime Minister Su Cheng.
Shen Qingwu was dressed in white today, with her long hair still casually tied at the back, looking even more spotless. When she arrived at the door of the casino, the thugs couldn't help but raise their hands to stop her.
"You're opening a business, but you're turning people away?" Shen Qingwu raised his eyebrows.
"Girl, you..." The thug seemed a little embarrassed. This was obviously out of place here.
This girl doesn't look like she's from an ordinary family. She's so pretty and harmless, but she wants to enter a casino without any guards to protect her. If something happens, it will be troublesome for the casino if it can't afford it.
If things go wrong, everyone will be buried with her.
"Shen Qingwu of the Shen family may be executed soon. It's a pity that he never set foot in a casino before his death." Shen Qingwu took out a stack of banknotes from his sleeve, took out two and gave them to the two respectively.
"Please be flexible. Your life and death are your own responsibility. If necessary, we can write a contract..." Shen Qingwu was polite and courteous.
But before she finished speaking, the two men took the banknotes and made way, their attitude still very respectful, "It's us who didn't recognize Mount Tai. Miss Shen, please."
Although they had never seen Shen Qingwu's true face during their daily duty, they had heard about what had happened to Shen Qingwu in the past few days.
According to the rumors in Kyoto, Shen Qingwu is indeed the daughter of a general. She is ruthless and cruel when fighting and is not to be trifled with.
If the Shen family is a good family, then they have fulfilled Miss Shen's wish today. If the Shen family is a bad family, then Shen Qingwu's accident in the casino is retribution.
In short, they are both right.
Shen Qingwu accepted the banknote, bowed and thanked him, stepped over the threshold and took two steps, then suddenly stepped back. She looked around at the two tall and strong door gods and asked with a smile:
"They blocked my way at first, told me my name, and then let me in. Did they hope I'd get into an accident in the casino?"
Her casual question made the two strong men shudder, "Miss Shen misunderstood, we believe that you have enough ability to protect yourself. The people here are not your opponents."
"If I win money, will your gambling house not let me leave?" Shen Qingwu asked again.
"We are a legitimate gambling house and will never do such a thing!" The two answered in a louder voice and stood straighter, as if they were about to take an oath.
Shen Qingwu raised his eyebrows slightly, "If I win money today, I will definitely give you two a big reward when I get out."
After saying this, Shen Qingwu strode into the casino.
The first floor of the casino is for small-stakes gambling.
People from all walks of life gathered here, and there were many people surrounding each gambling table, some wearing coarse linen clothes, and some wearing brocade and silk.
There is incense burning next to the sealed window, and if you smell it for a long time, it will make you feel excited.
The gambling game begins, and the man holding the pipe stands at the dealer's seat.
The gamblers on both sides raised their arms and shouted, "Big big - small small!"
Everyone at the gambling table was very involved and excited.
Shen Qingwu raised his hand to look at the roof. There was still gambling going on upstairs, but it was obviously not as high as downstairs.
She walked around outside but didn't see Kang Shuo.
He walked towards the stairs, but was stopped by someone.
"Miss, if you want to go to the second floor, you must win three games in a row on the first floor, or win seven games today, and have enough capital before you can go up." The man smiled respectfully and introduced the rules here.
"Where is the fastest? I think the bet below is too small and boring." Shen Qingwu shook a stack of silver bills in his hand with a hint of meaning.
"Please come this way." One of the people guarding the stairs took her to a gambling table in the northwest corner.
It's a little quieter here than the ones in the center, but equally lively.
Shen Qingwu can identify locations by sound, and her eyesight is far superior to that of ordinary people. Today, she even discovered that she can see the number of dice through the dice cup.
But if she wanted to penetrate something stronger and see what was inside, she couldn't do it.
At this gambling table, she is the biggest loophole and knows all the dealer's answers.
There was no need for the dealer to help her cheat at all.
As she was going upstairs with the large banknotes, a thin young man came skipping downstairs.
As they passed each other, the young man's hand quickly passed by, leaving an almost invisible shadow that brushed against the left sleeve of Shen Qingwu where he had just placed the banknote.
Then he wanted to continue going downstairs as if nothing had happened, but there was nothing in his hands, which made him stop in disbelief.
Shen Qingwu, who had already walked up two more steps, turned around and gave him a charming smile.
The skinny young man turned around and met her eyes, and a chill suddenly ran down his spine.
"I need to practice my skills more." Shen Qingwu smiled and took out the stack of banknotes from his right sleeve with his left hand, and shook it at the young man provocatively.
After she beat up Song Siwei that day and spent the night with Chu Guannan, she discovered that she had a small space of thought.
Although the space is not big, it is still enough to store some precious things.
When I gave Shadow the beef jerky that day, the rest was hidden in my mind space.
It would be a pipe dream for the so-called thief in the world to steal something from her.
Shen Qingwu looked meaningfully at the person guarding the stairs, smiled indifferently, turned around and continued to go upstairs. Here, she finally saw Kang An.
Just as he was about to walk over, the sleeve of his right hand swayed slightly. Shen Qingwu turned around and quickly chased back to the stairs, "Are you playing a trick on me?"
