"Jin Guangcheng! I'm here! I hope you won't disappoint me!"
The full moon hangs high in the sky. A young man in his early twenties, dressed in smart clothes and with a long bow slung over his shoulder, stands on the top of the mountain and stares at the brightly lit Jinguang City.
Jinguangcheng is a place rich in gold mines in the Carlo Empire, and it is also the economic lifeline of the Carlo Empire. The lord of Jinguangcheng is Zhao Shouguan, who is from the same family as Zhao Tianlong. If we want to talk about it, he is Zhao Tianlong's uncle in terms of seniority, but he is older than
How much older is Zhao Tianlong?
The reason why Zhao Shouguanhui became the city lord of Jinguang City, the lifeline of the empire, was mainly because he had a cowardly character, had no desire for power, and was loyal and honest. As a good gentleman, Zhao Tianlong was very relieved to hand over Jinguang City to him.
However, it is precisely because of Zhao Shouguan's character that as the city lord, he was gradually sidelined. Finally, the actual controller of Jinguang City became the deputy city lord Hou Guangzu.
In fact, there was another deputy city lord of Jinguang City, but later his position was eliminated because a family member was implicated in a crime. In the end, the entire family was deported from Jinguang City, and the family property was confiscated. The remaining people fled to death and were never allowed to leave the city.
One step into Guangcheng.
In this way, only Hou Guangzu was left among the two deputy city lords. The appointment of deputy city lord required Zhao Shouquan to submit a petition. But for some unknown reason, Zhao Shouquan never seemed to have any intention of appointing another deputy city lord.
It is precisely because there is no one to restrain Hou Guangzu that Hou Guangzu becomes more and more arrogant. He not only has high-level warriors, but also many powerful magicians. He is very popular in Jinguang City. People in Jinguang City don't need to know that the city owner
Zhao Shouquan, but there is absolutely no way he does not know the deputy city lord Hou Guangzu.
However, Hou Guangzu is still very tactful in his work. At least when facing Zhao Shouguan, he has never been domineering and looks respectful. He also treats his subordinates with care and concern. When dealing with the city guards of Jin Guangcheng, he responds to their requests, but
If you ask for something, as long as you can achieve it, there will be absolutely no ambiguity.
Jinguangcheng is famous for its gold mines. There are many mines around it, so miners are naturally indispensable. Although this is a gold-producing city, the life of the local miners is very hard. A hard day's work can provide three meals a day for the family.
Food and clothing.
Even so, many locals are still rushing to work in the mines because they can secretly bring out some gold. As long as those who inspect are often given some benefits and the entrainment is not obvious, those people will turn a blind eye.
One eye.
The gold ore entrained at one time may not be much, but it cannot be accumulated over time. Moreover, there are dedicated people who secretly collect these gold ores privately. The better the quality, the higher the price. Therefore, the gold ore entrained by the miners is often of high quality.
The kind of gold mine.
In fact, most of the miners are prisoners in Jinguangcheng or nearby cities. Their treatment is very poor, and they have to work in heavy shackles. Many prisoners may be sent to work in the mines just for petty theft, and many of them went there.
He never came back.
Some powerful warriors and magicians will be put on slave collars. The slave collar will not affect the strength of the user, and will make the user obedient and not dare to resist at all, otherwise it will be regarded as a slave collar.
Users can easily dispose of them from far away.
There is no curfew in Jinguang City, and the city gates are still open at night. Although it is almost midnight, the lights in Jinguang City are still bright, and the streets are bustling with people.
No matter what kind of business the street vendors are doing, they are all in order and there is no sense of chaos at all.
Some strong-looking men with fierce looks on their faces chatted, drank wine, and ate stir-fry and barbecue with smiles on their faces. If they just saw this scene, no one would think there was anything wrong here.
Everything is in harmony.
When a young man in smart clothes walked to a stall and sat down, the atmosphere around him became subtle. People who were eating, drinking and joking just now looked at him warily.
The young man frowned and ignored them at all, but he was already secretly wary. He didn't want to cause trouble, but if others took the initiative to cause trouble, he would not hold back.
"Little brother, you look very unfamiliar! Is this your first time in Jinguang City? What are you doing here? There is gold everywhere here!" A strong man walked over with a huge wooden wine glass in his hand.
, and sat down next to the young man.
The young man frowned and didn't say anything. The strong man smelled of alcohol, which made him frown in dissatisfaction.
The strong man didn't seem to notice the young man's disgust at all. After looking around, he whispered mysteriously: "Little brother, do you want to get rich? Follow my brother, I guarantee that you will make a lot of money!"
The young man looked at the strong man in some shabby clothes and sneered in his heart. Even if he wanted to cheat money, he should dress appropriately! He almost looked like a beggar, and then told others to follow him and make a fortune. How could he make a fortune?
Should I go begging on the street?
"Little brother, don't look at the shabby clothes I'm wearing now, it's because I spent all my money on the blade. As long as you hang out with me, I guarantee that you will prosper." The strong man burped from wine and patted his chest as he promised.
"Sorry, I'm not interested." The young man said and ignored the strong man.
The strong man started chattering again, but when he found that the young man was not only indifferent to his words, but also ignored him at all, the strong man became angry for no reason, slapped the table and stood up suddenly.
"Aren't you going to be punished with a drink if you don't eat the toast?" The strong man glared at the young man fiercely, as if he would fight if he disagreed with him.
"Hey! Isn't this the king of gambling? Why are you so angry? What are you going to do?" A joking voice came over.
The strong man's face, which was originally distorted by anger, suddenly relaxed and smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum.
"Ah! Isn't this Mr. Xiao! Why are you so free today?"
"King Gambling, you'd better be more at ease with me! If you are not honest, I will send you to the mine for two days to play. There is a shortage of people in the mine these days!" Mr. Xiao staggered to the gambling house.
Next to the king, he slapped the Du Wang on the shoulder with his whip and snorted coldly.
"Mr. Xiao, you sir, please stop thinking about me for this kind of good thing! You don't know! Last time I went to the mine to work for a day, I almost threw away the two hundred pounds!"
The gambling king nodded and bowed with a smile.
"Well..." Mr. Xiao folded his hands in front of his chest, looking very embarrassed.
"Master Xiao, don't worry, I will go to see you today, no, I will go to see you in a while! I have been a bit lazy recently and I am trying to think of a solution now!" the gambling king said with a sneer.
"Humph, you have to figure it out yourself! Who is this person? Why does he look so unfamiliar?" Mr. Xiao glanced at the young man and asked doubtfully.
"I don't……"
"I'm the uncle of Du Wang." Du Wang was about to say that he didn't know him, but the young man took away the words and looked at Mr. Xiao with a smile. At the same time, he accidentally showed the money bag around his waist to Du Wang.
Take a look.
"Gulu." The gambling king couldn't help but swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Just from the appearance, he knew that the money in the purse was definitely not a small amount, and it was filled with gold and silver coins.
"Uncle?" Mr. Xiao frowned and looked at the gambling king with a questioning look on his face.
"Uh... yes, yes! Even though I am older, I am younger in the family. He is my distant cousin. We haven't seen each other for a long time, and he just happened to come over to see me recently."
He hurriedly defended.
"Tell you this... uncle, what are the precautions in Jinguang City. If something goes wrong, I will skin you!" Although Mr. Xiao was talking to the gambling king, he didn't look at him at all, but stared at him.
The eyes of young people.
"Master Xiao, don't worry, I will never let my uncle do anything inappropriate." The gambling king said with a sincere face.
"It's best not to! Don't forget what you said!" Mr. Xiao looked at the young man, then at the gambling king, and walked away with three unsteady steps.
"You're crazy! Why did you say he was my uncle!" After seeing Mr. Xiao disappear, Du Wang let out a sigh of relief. Then he looked at the young man with a ferocious look, lowered his voice and roared.
"Because I don't want you to make money too easily." The young man patted the money bag on his waist and said with a sneer.
"Uh... how much are you going to give me?" Hearing the sound of coins in the money bag, the gambling king immediately showed a flattering smile.
"I'm asking you to answer. If I'm satisfied, you will benefit from it." The young man casually took out a gold coin and waved it in front of the gambling king.
"You've asked the right person. There is nothing about Jin Guangcheng that I don't know. From the private lives of high-ranking nobles to the young widow stealing a man, I can tell you anything you want to know." After the gambling king saw the gold coins,
His eyes were shining, and his mouth was full of foaming stars.
"I'm not interested in that. Tell me why you are called the King of Gamblers." The young man grinned, wishing to give the King of Gamblers a slap in the face.
"This..." Du Wang rubbed his hands and felt a little embarrassed.
"Hmph! If you don't want to say it, forget it." The young man naturally dismissed the title of King of Gamblers. It was just an appetizer. He snorted coldly and turned his hand to put away the gold coins.
"Don't... don't! In fact, it doesn't matter. My surname is Wang. I am born to gamble, but I always lose, so everyone calls me the gambling king to make fun of me." The gambling king sighed, and he gave up.
The young man shrugged his shoulders and threw a silver coin over.
"It's not a gold coin!" After taking the silver coin, the gambling king muttered with some dissatisfaction.
"If you don't want it, just bring it back to me." The young man's voice was a little cold.
"Yes, yes!" The gambling king hurriedly put the silver coins into his arms.
