Chapter 432 Street Fighter
Li Mu came out of the palace on a horse. Without Dugu Jiu around him, no one drove for him, so he had to ride his horse by himself. The kid didn't know where he ran, and there was no sign of a day and a night. Although Li Mu missed him a little, he was not in a hurry to search for him. First of all, he was not worried that Dugu Jiu would disappear. Besides, the child is old and has to figure out some things sooner or later. It would be better to bother him at this time.
Walking along Zhuque Street and reaching Pingkangfang, Li Mu turned his horse in.
It was said that the gambling workshop was renovated, but he had not personally accepted it. In the end, whether the gambling workshop was rushing to meet his standards or not, it had to be seen in person before it could count. It was not dark yet and it was not the business hours of Pingkangfang, so there were not many people on the street. Li Mu rode a horse and seemed to be a little quick-eyed. If it were other young masters, there would be a woman who would have to give him a glamorous look. But when he saw his iconic tiger fur, he knew who was coming, and no one dared to come.
Li Mu noticed the reactions around him and thought to himself, could I be a disaster star? Why no one has taken care of him?
Before he could walk to the gambling house, Ergou, who received the letter, trotted up to meet him, took the reins of the horse, and led the horse for Li Mu.
"Mr. Marquis, why are you here? Just leave the matter on this construction site to Ergou, and there will be no mistakes."
"I just took a look at it-" Li Mu glanced at Ergou and said, "I heard that you called your brother Sangou to the construction site to help?"
Ergou felt a sudden thud, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "Mr. Marquis, the young man called my brother over without saying hello to the Marquis. It's really not good. But he was busy these days, in order to get a job... Marquis was in the valley again, so the young man was--"
The more Ergou spoke, the smaller the voice. He knew in his heart that his reason was untenable. Even if he was busy with work, some people would be dispatched, and he had to be your brother? And even in those days, Ergou had sent things to Li Mu and had been to the valley several times, but he did not mention this matter. It was obvious that he deliberately hid it and tried to get away with it.
Such a crude excuse is okay to deceive mediocre people, but he used it to deceive Li Mu, and he felt that he could not pass the test.
Li Mu smiled and glanced at Ergou, saying, "Egou, you are a little untrue. Don't you just want to support your brother? It's natural to be a human being, what can you hide? Besides, I still remember your brother, who has helped me. It's not a long-term solution to be a prison guard. It's also a good thing to be a helper in front of you. Brothers fighting tigers, father and son soldiers. With him by your side, you can hide from someone you can trust. It's no big deal, get up."
Ergou burst into tears when he heard this and said, "That's exactly what the little one does not know how to say it, and he is afraid that the marquis will not allow it, so he asked the marquis to punish him."
"What are you punished? Get up. Just say something in the future. Don't let me realize it later. I feel very unhappy with this feeling. I can't have a next time, do you know?"
"It's guaranteed that there will be no next time!" Ergou kowtowed, got up, and held the reins of the horse, and his feet seemed to be three points lighter. This matter has been pressing on his heart, and he almost became sick. He could not drive his brother home, nor did he dare to tell Li Mu that he was afraid that one day he would be exposed and he would not be able to take it away.
Li Mu exposed it today, but he did not punish him, which made a big rock in his heart fall to the ground.
Not long after walking, the deserted streets became lively. The road was lined with building materials. Li Mu exchanged half of Pingkangfang for shares, and this area was under construction. There was one where there was no building materials stacked at the door, which was the completed Sihai Gambling House. Ergou led the horse and took Li Mu to the entrance of the gambling house, and then he wanted to lie down and make a horse-drawn bench for Li Mu.
"There is no such rule." Li Mu waved his hand, jumped off the horse from the other side, glanced at him, and said, "Build a stable next to him to park and feed the horses."
Ergou hurriedly wrote it down, called a helper, handed the reins to him, and followed Li Mu in a step.
Li Mu stood at the door and looked at the gambling house. From the appearance, it was the same as his design. The whole two floors, the first floor was the hall, and all kinds of gambling tools gathered together, and there was no limit on identity. All three and nine classes could enter. The second floor was limited, less than a thousand-yuan gambling book, and they were not qualified to go upstairs. The service level was also different. They were all separate private rooms and were served by special people, which was a step higher.
In addition to the two floors, there is also a basement. The building standards of this basement are equivalent to the "ice cellar" in the craftsman's workshop. It is made of rammed earth and stones on all sides, and fine sand is mixed in the middle. It is impossible to dig it open. This is for storing gold, silver and chips. If you do not have this preparation, a few gentlemen on the beam will steal the chips. Wouldn't the gambling house suffer a loss?
Li Mu thought of everything he could think of. There are many experiences he learned from Hong Kong movies he had watched in his previous life. In theory, it should be far beyond the imagination of people of this era. But everything is not absolute, and you have to see whether you can defend it. When the casino opens, you will know it once you try it.
"Why didn't Gongsun Kang come? Do you know if this marquis is here?"
Ergou hurriedly said, "Gongsun Yuanwailang went to the construction site in Dongcheng. He said in the early morning. If the Marquis looks for him, I will send someone to--"
"No need, I just asked casually." Li Mu waved his hand and stepped into the casino. Since the gambling tools were not ready, the casino seemed a little empty. However, the basic furnishings were all ready. Although the craftsmen did not know why when they were building the functional areas, they all completed them well according to Li Mu's plan.
I looked upstairs and downstairs and there was no major problem. It can be seen that although the construction period was advanced, it was also under the premise of ensuring quality, and the word "excellent".
Back downstairs, Li Mu asked Ergou to move a chair and sit down, saying, "I asked you to train the day before yesterday, how did you train?"
"It's almost done." Ergou saw Li Mu ask, with a slight look on his face and said, "It's all based on your request and imitate the waiter training in the heaven and earth. The young man dares to say boldly that the people we trained are no worse than those in the heaven and earth. If the Marquis doesn't believe it, I will call everyone and let the Marquis check it out."
"Oh, are you so confident?" Li Mu smiled and said, "Then go and call someone and let me see the people you trained."
"Uh..." Ergou's smile froze, and he grinned awkwardly, saying, "The little one dares not deceive the Marquis. In fact, it was not the villain's personal training, but someone helped-"
"Help?" Li Mu glanced at Ergou and said, "You guy is so brave. I asked you to train, but you are lazy?"
"No, how dare you, the little one!" Ergou explained hurriedly: "I'm really not good at this, and I'm afraid I'll delay the Marquis' affairs, so I found someone who can do this. The Marquis's man who has also met was the two girls Jin Chen and Yinyue."
"Jin Chen, Yin Yue?"
Li Mu remembered the surprise that Ju Zhisheng gave him. That day, because Li Zhien was jealous, he hurriedly settled in Pingkangfang. After that, he became busy and forgot about the two of them, but he didn't expect to use them. Yes, they claimed to be the dancers of Gaochang palaces, and they should be familiar with the etiquette, and it is not surprising that they are not unfamiliar with the way of etiquette.
Li Mu smiled and said, "Then call them too. If the training is good, I will reward them."
"The young one thanked the marquis for them first." Ergou said, and ran out to call people. The so-called training was in the original Chunfeng Building. The service staff trained were mostly women from Yuanjiaofangsi, and they selected beautiful and charming ones as the future service staff of Sihai Gambling.
This idea was a flash of inspiration from Li Mu. Since there can be a Bunny Girl in Las Vegas, why can't there be a similar gambling workshop in the Tang Dynasty two thousand years ago?
Of course, due to the limitations of the times, it is definitely impossible to be as exciting as a bunny girl. However, having a pretty little beauty serving her will definitely stimulate the consumption of gamblers to the greatest extent. Moreover, in this way, it is also a good thing to let these women avoid laughing in the crowd.
Not long after, Ergou came back with a group of women. The two of them were Jin Chen and Yin Yue. They didn't see each other for a few days. I don't know if it was an illusion, but Li Mu found that Jin Chen seemed to be a little more beautiful again. But after looking closely, it seemed that he was still the same.
After looking for a while, Li Mu finally found out what was the trick. It turned out to be the relationship between clothes. Jin Chen, whom he saw that day, was wearing Gaochang's clothes. Although Gaochang's clothes were also a kind of Han clothing, after years of integration with Hu culture, it was no longer completely Han style. Many of the patterns were not found in Han clothing. Today, Jin Chen was wearing a very popular robe skirt in Chang'an City. Her neck became more and more slender, giving people a very beautiful feeling.
"Marty?"
Ergou looked around for a long time. When he saw Li Mu beat someone Jin Chen in, he stared at him intently, thinking to himself, could it be that the Marquis fell in love with her? He thought so in his heart, and he didn't dare to ask, but it was too long that he could not tell the other person's face. He didn't interrupt him again, so he was so brave that he reminded him in a low voice.
Li Mu recovered from his senses, felt a little embarrassed, and coughed lightly, saying, "Come on, show me what you have learned in the past few days."
Jin Chen went out to the crowd, saluted Li Mu, and then began to direct everyone. He either stood or stood, or stopped, how to say hello, and showed it to Li Mu one by one. After the display was finished, he stood in a queue in a regular manner, without any confusion.
When Li Mu saw it from the beginning, he had to admit that if he compared it with the waiters in heaven and earth, this group of service staff would be nothing short of a problem. He couldn't help but look up to Jin Chen. This woman could train these people so much in just a few days, and she was definitely not an ordinary person.
Just as he was about to say a few words, a gang broke in. Li Mu frowned. Ergou saw it, rushed over and kicked, cursing: "What are you doing for? There is no rules at all? The Marquis is here, so you dare to act rashly? Why don't you get out?"
"Master Dog, I...oh!" The gang slapped his thigh in an anxious manner and shouted: "Mr. Marquis, something big happened! Young Master Siwen has been beaten!"
"What?" Li Mu stood up suddenly, stared at the gang and asked, "Did you see it? Is it Siwen? Who is the courageous person who dares to hit my brother?"
"I don't know the villain!"
"Let's go!" Li Mu stood up and left without saying a word. Ergou waved his hand at them, and hurriedly followed, shouting all the gang members, worried that it was not enough to make a sound, and asked the construction site to stop work. All the craftsmen followed. A group of people were in a mighty way. Under the leadership of the gang members who reported the news, they arrived at the gate of Pingkangfangfang. Sure enough, seeing a group of people surrounded by people, blocking Yan Shi couldn't see inside, Li Mu was anxious and came to the front without caring about who was in front of him. He raised his leg and kicked, cursing: "I am the Marquis of Zhulu, Li Mu, who knows the situation, gets out of here!"
The three words "The Shadow of the Famous Tree" and "The Marquis of Zhulu" are still open in Chang'an City. When the onlookers heard that it was Li Mu coming, they made a pass. Li Mu rushed in first, and Ergou and others followed closely behind, holding guys in their hands. No guys were also holding blue bricks and stones, and they were ready to fight.
Li Mu came to the crowd center and then saw clearly that it was not Li Siwen who was beaten unilaterally, but he started to fight with someone. Although there were five people on the other side, only one of them took action and did not bully the few. Li Siwen's face was blue and purple, and the other party was not much better. One covered his eyes and had a colorful corner of his mouth, as if he was scratched.
The two of them were separated, but they didn't leave, panting and staring at each other.
Seeing this situation, Li Mu didn't want to help. He stood between the two of them, turned around, blocked Li Siwen behind him, and kicked his legs. The boy opposite didn't expect that Li Mu would beat him without asking. He was caught off guard and bent down like a shrimp and knelt on the ground.
The few people standing behind him subconsciously rushed up when they saw Li Mu attacking him. But they only took one step and stopped again. Obviously, they recognized Li Mu's identity and did not dare to move.
Li Mu sneered and said, "I still think of a hero as a hero, dare to touch my brother? Why, I know who I am, and I dare not attack?"
The five teenagers didn't say anything, and they were all whispering in their hearts. Isn't this nonsense?
"Brother, don't worry, wait for me to rest, I will gesture with this kid again! Hiss... Today I will be with him, I--"
Li Siwen was still stubborn. Li Mu took off the tiger fur and put it on him, saying, "Stop calm for a while, see if I'll vent my anger for you."
"Brother..." Li Siwen thought Li Mu was going to bully others with his power, so he wanted to stop him, but was interrupted by Li Mu.
"Shut up!"
Li Mu moved his muscles and said, "No one is allowed to help. Today is a private matter. Don't take into account my identity. Come on, you four will go together. If I bully others and talk about my identity, Li Mu will write the word "reverse" backwards!"
When the boy who was kicked heard this, he raised his head and looked at Li Mu, and said with a hissing: "Serious?"
"It's a puppy!"
