Chapter 16 Zhuanghe

The morning after Li Bin seized the gambling hall, Li Bin took Li Meng to the county government again, and in addition to handing over the land deeds of the four-entry house and four shops on Qinglian Street in the south of the city to Li Jingyi.

With the help of Li Jingyi, the land deed of Hongyun Gambling Hall and the land deed of 410 acres of water and dry land deeds were transferred to Li Bin's name, and the remaining 100 acres of paddy fields and 100 acres of dry land were transferred to Li Meng.

The land deeds of 20 acres of paddy fields and 50 acres of dry land in Grandpa Li Bin's house were also transferred back to the name of Grandpa Du An.

Before leaving the county government office, Li Jingyi told Li Bin that since the county magistrate and the county magistrate were urging him to be urgent, he hoped that Li Bin would wipe out the bandits in Jiguanling within ten days as much as possible.

As for the soldiers handed over to him, they can be summoned tomorrow morning.

In fact, neither county magistrate Chen Fu nor county magistrate He Yunbin gave a specific period for the extermination of the bandits in Jiguanling. This ten-day period was set by Li Jingyi himself, mainly to urge the four brothers Li Bin to lead troops to suppress the bandits as soon as possible, so as to have an explanation to county magistrate Chen Fu and county magistrate He Yunbin.

With two grandmaster-level generals Dian Wei and Xu Chu, Li Bin felt that it would not be too difficult to destroy the bandits in Jiguanling, so he quickly agreed to Li Jingyi's request to destroy the bandits in Jiguanling within ten days.

Perhaps because of the love between Li Bin and the Li family in Leishan, Li Jingyi also vaguely reminded Li Bin that although the group of bandits in Jiguanling were very important, their lives were the most important. If it was really impossible, remember to keep the green mountains and not be afraid of burning firewood.

After leaving the county government office, Li Bin took Li Meng to a house located on the street from the gambling hall.

Although the gambling hall was taken down by Li Bin and received the support of Li Jingyi, if he wanted to continue operating the gambling hall, Li Bin had to find some Zhuanghe.

In this world, the gambling tools are mainly dice and Paijiu. Zhuang He is the dealer responsible for shaking dice and dealing card nine. Only Zhuang He, who is proficient in these two types of gambling tools, can the gambling tools make money every day.

It turns out that the people who served as Zhuang He in Cui Hu's gambling hall, except for the few rascals under Cui Hu's hands, the ones with the most powerful gambling skills are Xu Shan, Xu Li and his son. Yesterday, when Li Bin and others started killing in the gambling hall, Xu Shan and Xu Li and his son did not live in the gambling hall and did not catch up with the fight.

The house that Li Bin and Li Meng are visiting now is the residence of Xu Shan and Xu Li and his son. Li Bin hopes to invite Xu Shan and Xu Li to continue to serve as Zhuang He in Hongyun Gambling Hall, otherwise the gambling hall would not be opened only by Li Bin, Li Meng, Dian Wei and Xu Chu.

Li Bin walked to the gate of the house, raised his hand and knocked on the door. Then a woman's voice came from inside, "Who?"

"Is it Xu Shan and Xu Li's home? I am Li Bin, the new owner of Hongyun Gambling Hall!"

"Bang--" As soon as Li Bin finished speaking, the sound of a basin falling to the ground came from the yard. Then the woman shouted in panic: "The head of the family, that... that Li Bin is here!"

After about half an incense stick, the gate of the house was slowly opened by a man in his thirties. After seeing Li Bin, he couldn't help but tremble and said in a trembling voice: "I...I am Xu Li, my father... my father asked Li...Boss Li to go in."

Li Bin smiled and said to Xu Li: "Brother Xu, don't be nervous. Today I am here to ask you father and son to continue to stay in Hongyun Gambling Hall to do things. There is no other intention."

Xu Li's expression was still very nervous, "Please...and ask Boss Li to discuss this matter with my father."

When Li Bin walked into the yard, he saw a man in his fifties clasping his fists at him and said, "Old Xu Shan has seen Boss Li, please sit in Boss Li's house."

Xu Shan's expression was very natural, but he was not scared by Li Bin's fierce reputation like his son Xu Li.

Under Xu Shan's guidance, Li Bin walked into the main house of the yard. As soon as he sat down, Li Bin said straight to Xu Shan: "Uncle Xu, I came here today to ask you father and son to continue to stay in Hongyun Gambling Hall as Zhuanghe. In the past, Cui Hu gave Xu Bo six taels of silver a month and brother Xu Li five taels of silver a month. On this basis, I am willing to add two taels of silver each month to each person, and at least two months of monthly salary dividends at the end of the year. What does Xu Bo think?"

Xu Shan pondered for a moment and said, "Boss Li, it's really not to be hiding it. Early this morning, a manager from Baitong Gambling Hall came to the door and wanted to invite Lao I and Xu Li to Baitong Gambling Hall to be Zhuanghe."

When Li Bin heard this, he couldn't help but frown. Baitong Gambling Hall is another gambling hall in Leishan County. It is even larger than Hongyun Gambling Hall. It can be said to be the largest gambling hall in Leishan County. Hongyun Gambling Hall can only be regarded as the second largest gambling hall in Leishan County.

According to Li Bin's understanding, the sister of Yuan Jinbao, the owner of Baitong Gambling Hall, is a concubine of Xu Fugong, the county magistrate of Pu'an County. It was precisely because of the county magistrate Xu Fugong that Yuan Jinbao opened Baitong Gambling Hall in Leishan County.

The Xu family in Pu'an County is also a general. It has a longer history than the Li family in Leishan and has much greater power than the Li family in Leishan. Xu Fuye, the current head of the Xu family in Pu'an, is the brother of the county magistrate Xu Fugong. He is a general of the Yingyang Central Army, who is in the fifth rank of the official position. There are seven or eight people in the Pu'an Xu family in the Dayan army.

It is precisely because of the relationship between the county magistrate Xu Fugong, even the county magistrate Chen Fu, the county magistrate He Yunbin and the county magistrate Li Jingmao, they all have to give Yuan Jinbao some face.

Li Bin's face couldn't help but become gloomy, "Can Uncle Xu agree to go to Baitong Gambling? Xu Bo, don't forget that although Cui Hu has been killed by me because of collusion with the bandits in Jiguanling, the workmanship contract signed by Xu Bo and Xu Li with Hongyun Gambling are still there. Could it be that Xu Bo wants to tear up this workmanship contract?"

Xu Shan heard the cold air in Li Bin's words and hurriedly said, "I did not agree to the manager of Baitong Gambling Hall. After all, Lao I and his son signed a ten-year workplace contract with Hongyun Gambling Hall. Now Lao I have about five years left in my contract, and Xu Li's contract has nearly eight years left. Of course, I can't break the contract, but..."

"But what? Don't Xu can say anything." When he heard that Xu Shan did not agree to go to Baitong Gambling Hall, the frost on Li Bin's face disappeared immediately.

"Although I did not agree to the manager who took Xu Li to Baitong Gambling Hall to be Zhuang He, the manager said that he would help terminate the workplace contract between Lao Xuan and his son and Hongyun Gambling Hall, so that Lao Xuan and his son could go to Baitong Gambling Hall with peace of mind. I was worried that Baitong Gambling Hall would cause trouble."

Li Bin smiled and said, "No Xu doesn't need to pay attention to the Baitong Gambling Hall. Now Uncle Xu and Brother Xu Li should follow me back to the gambling hall. Without Uncle Xu and Brother Xu, Hongyun Gambling Hall would not dare to open the door."

Even if Yuan Jinbao, the owner of Baitong Gambling Hall, is supported by the county magistrate Xu Fugong, this place is Leishan County after all, and the territory of the Li family in Leishan. Li Bin, who has already taken over Li Jingyi, is not afraid of Baitong Gambling Hall.
