Haojiang has been colonized by the Portuguese government since the late Qing Dynasty.

After nearly a hundred years of development, this once small fishing village has gradually become a famous gambling city in Southeast Asia.

If Xiangjiang is a city that never sleeps, then nearby Haojiang is a gold-selling cave.

The Haojiang River at night is always intoxicating. When the lanterns first come on, the whole city seems to have put on a new look.

Neon lights flash, lighting up every corner of the city, making people feel like they are in a colorful dream.

Walking into the nightlife of Haojiang, you will be shocked by the prosperity in front of you.

Whether it is luxurious casinos, luxurious hotels, or vibrant bars, dance halls, nightclubs, and bathing centers, people can be addicted to it and unable to extricate themselves.

In addition to these places, the night market in Haojiang is also very rich.

Every day, a large number of Xiangjiang people come here by boat in the afternoon, visit the night market, eat, and then take the ferry back in the evening.

If you don't consider taking a boat, it's much closer from Hong Kong Island than from Kowloon.

Late at night.

The He family mansion.

This He family mansion was built in the 1970s. It is one of the top luxury houses in Haojiang. King He spent nearly 20 million to build it.

In the study, King He Du looked at his daughter He Chaoqiong with a surprised expression:"You said that the little living Buddha in Xiangjiang asked you to bring me a note?"

He Chaoqiong nodded:"Yes, father, he said that after you read it, Got it."

After getting the note from Lin Chen in the morning, He Chaoqiong originally thought of returning to Haojiang directly, but because there were still things to deal with in Xiangjiang, he delayed his return to Haojiang until now, preparing to meet his father Talk about breaking off the engagement in person.

King He Du raised his eyebrows:"What did you say to that little living Buddha?"

He didn't think that the other party would take the initiative to bring any note to him.

"I asked the living Buddha to tell me how to get out of the Xu family's engagement……"

"enough!

King He Du's expression changed and he said angrily:"Chao Qiong, how many times have I told you that your father and I personally went to discuss this marriage with the Xu family?""

"Marrying you is not because my father and I sent you to marry for the benefit of the family. I hope you can find a good in-laws so that you won’t have no one to rely on in the future."

"I know you may not like that guy Xu Jinheng, but you have to understand that marriage is about being of the same family."

"But it’s no big deal for men to have fun outside. As long as you are married and love your wife and children, there will be no problem at all."

Listening to her father's high-sounding words, He Chaoqiong couldn't help but want to laugh. If it had n't been for her biological father sitting across from her, she would have burst into laughter. What He Chaoqiong learned since childhood was not the ancient three obediences and four virtues, but modern culture and knowledge. ,

I don’t ask for much love with my future husband, but I’m not like a 537 like Xu Jinheng, who is already engaged, but still goes out to nightclubs all day long to pick up girls and hook up with female stars. If you say you want to go out, you go out to have fun. , was actually photographed by reporters, and the scandal became known to the whole Hong Kong.

How does this make He Chaoqiong look good?

Do you really think that she is a woman with three obediences and four virtues who cannot fight back or retaliate?

Every time I think of reporters running out to question me , when Xu Jinheng was picking up girls in nightclubs and spending a lot of money to chase female celebrities, He Chaoqiong really wanted to say that he had no relationship with her.

But that was not possible. The engagement was already known to everyone in Hong Kong and Macao last year.

"You...Oh, forget it, show me the note."

Seeing that his daughter was silent, King He Gambling knew that no matter how much he said, the other party would just ignore him, so he asked for the note given by the living Buddha:"I want to see why this living Buddha thinks that a piece of paper is enough. Can you make me change my mind and stop you from marrying into the Xu family?"

Don't say that He Gambling King was curious, He Chaoqiong was also very curious, but she had a good tutor and would not peek at things entrusted to her by others.

He Gambling King took the note, opened it, and saw only two words written on it The word:"bastard"!

When seeing these two words, most people will probably get furious and think that they are scolding themselves, but He Bet has been struggling for decades, what kind of swear words have he not heard?

What's more, this is recent The famous living Buddha wrote it himself, and also named his daughter to give it to him. This made King He Du start to wonder what the meaning of these two words was.

While he was still wondering, He Chaoqiong quietly came behind his father. After reading the words on the note, I couldn't help but be surprised.

Bastard?

Isn't this a curse word?

But then I thought about it, the living Buddha should not be so superficial. Even if it is a curse, what is the meaning of calling a Bastard?

King He Gambling caught a glimpse The daughter behind her also asked subconsciously:"Besides this note, what else did the little living Buddha say?"

"It seems that there is no more. I just asked me to give the note to my father and said that you will know after reading it."

He Chaoqiong frowned and began to recall all the details of his meeting with Lin Chen in the morning, but he couldn't remember what the living Buddha said about his father besides this note.

"Split the characters?"

Although King He Gambling has never studied Feng Shui, he has invited countless masters to come here for the casino's Feng Shui bureau over the years.

Under the influence of his ears, he naturally knows more or less about Feng Shui and fortune telling.

Seeing that the living Buddha had indeed written these two characters, he guessed that this should be a method of splitting the characters.

The two characters"王八", when broken down, became a king and an eight.

King He Du picked up the pen and wrote on the white paper on the desk. I wrote"王" and"八" respectively. Wang should be related to me.

I am called the King of Gamblers. This character"王" corresponds to me, so there is no problem.

But what does this character"王" correspond to?

Is it the number of people or the shape? I wonder if it is time. ?

There are only a few ways to solve the word splitting. He Duwang calculated them one by one. The most likely one is time.

Because the number splitting method has nothing to do with him. There are eight Duwang people?

Or the eighth son of Duwang?

There is nothing easy to guess about the shape. Yes, a horoscope is just a stroke.

But if it is time... minutes, hours, days, months, years... years!

Eight years!

King He Du was suddenly stunned. He thought of the gambling cards in his casino. The date of the issue was surprisingly 2001, that is, 8 years later.

Could it be that the living Buddha wanted to tell him that he could help him solve the problem of renewing the Haojiang gambling license eight years later?!

The more He Duwang thought about it, the more he felt that this was possible It is extremely important to know that after Hong Kong Island returned to China in 1997, Haojiang returned within two years.

Once Haojiang returns, the sovereignty will become that of the mainland.

Although on the surface, it will not change for fifty years, it will still be Maojiang. You can run and dance as you please.

But this is only a change in the system, not in terms of license plates.

These things are issued by the government. Who is issued to them and how they are issued are all determined by others.

Even if they are issued from the 1980s Since the 1960s, He Gambling King has begun to actively contact the mainland, but his largest network of contacts is still with the Portuguese government.

This is why He Gambling King has been able to take charge of the Haojiang gambling license continuously since the 1960s. Haojiang has been in the gambling industry for more than thirty years.

At present, He Gambling King can still hold the gambling license for eight years. Even after the return, some previous policies will still be retained, but what will happen after the gambling license expires in 2001? ?

Should he continue to renew the contract with He Gambling King alone, or will he take out his gambling cards and start bidding?

In the past few years, He Gambling King has not been looking for connections in the mainland to inquire around, and the results are always under discussion..

In fact, this is indeed the case. Many people are now discussing fiercely whether to retain the gaming industry in Haojiang.

Some people think that the Xiangjiang side has maintained the same principle for fifty years because there is no other way.

But Haojiang is different. The territory is only so big, and the population is only a few hundred thousand.

The gambling industry is an illegal industry that has been vigorously cracked down in the country. It was still said before the return, but if it is not banned after the return, how can domestic localities learn from it? What should we do?

But if it is banned, Haojiang’s originally booming economy will collapse in an instant.

If people from the world see it, they will probably laugh at it for not being able to operate.

Originally one of the four major gambling cities in the world, taxation, tourism, Culture is all done in a decent way.

With this ban, it will no longer even have the qualifications to be a fishing port.

By then, who will go to such a big place as Haojiang to play?

Is there no beach in Xiangjiang? Is it Xiangjiang? No nightclub? Is it because there is no night view in Xiangjiang?

King He Du thought a lot, and finally gritted his teeth and said:"Go and tell Master Yichen for me, and tell him that I, King He Du, will come to visit Master soon.""

"dad! So you won’t force me to marry the Xu family?!"

He Chaoqiong's eyes lit up. Although she had not solved the mystery of this"bastard", she could hear her father's relaxed tone.

"Let’s talk about it after I meet Master Yichen."

King He Gambling looked at his daughter with a complicated expression. He never expected that a monk could actuallyout of your current predicament.

You must know that in the eyes of most people, nothing will change after the return of Xiangjiang, and the same will definitely be true for the return of Haojiang. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

He Gambling King is still the gambling king of Haojiang, but But the goal of paying taxes is different.

And this is not just ordinary people, including famous families in Hong Kong and Macao. Most of them think the same way. They think that there will be a buffer period of at least twenty or thirty years before there is a slight change.

But when that time comes, they can build up new relationships without having to worry about no one protecting them.

But King He Gambling was able to come to Haojiang from Xiangjiang alone and become the King Gambling He is today because of his keen observation and thinking.

"When you meet Master Yichen, then I guess dad will definitely break off the engagement in person."

He Chaoqiong is now full of confidence in Lin Chen. She just wrote two words and asked her father to decide to visit him personally.

Even though she has not figured out the mystery yet, it is definitely a very important thing.

Otherwise, why would her father bet? It's impossible for Wang to agree to visit Master Yichen.

It's not that his father doesn't believe in the master's ability, but because once he goes, it means that he has to make concessions on He Chaoqiong's marriage and agree to terminate the engagement with the Xu family. You know, the woman was the first to propose the annulment of the engagement. This would be a great shame and humiliation for ordinary people and famous families! Not to mention one of the top wealthy families like the Xu family.

And last year The engagement wine had already been served. Although no other outsiders attended except the two families, the powerful media had already reported the matter.

Once He Chaoqiong successfully broke off the engagement, she didn’t know what she would do. Anyway, Xu The family's face has been completely lost.

By then, not only will the two families not get married, but they will become life-and-death enemies.

This is one of the reasons why King He Du is unwilling and impossible to agree to terminate the engagement.

But all this is happening. Under the premise of not violating the fundamental interests.

And the right to operate the casino license is the bottom line that He Gambling King and even his family can never let go, even at all costs.

Therefore, after hearing his daughter’s firm words, He Gambling King , chose silence, because he knew that once the little living Buddha could really help him with the gambling matter, he would also have to help with his daughter’s engagement!

Otherwise, he would offend such a capable living Buddha, and for those who have always believed in For He Du Wang, who is a Feng Shui expert, that is simply a disaster.

Early the next morning

《The crew of"Big Time" and most of the creative team gathered at Pier 7 in Central, preparing to take a boat to the Po Lin Monastery on Lantau Island to meet the living Buddha Master Yichen.

But what they didn't expect was that after going up the mountain, the director and Qiu Guan went to the abbot, the wise monk, and explained their reasons for coming.

The wise monk shook his head and said: The two donors came a step late, Master YichenAlready going down the mountain"

"Going down the mountain?"

Wei Jiahui and Zheng Shaoqiu looked at each other, and it was Wei Jiahui who said:"Abbot Smart, where has Master Yichen gone?"

"have no idea."

The wise monk shook his head:"Yesterday evening, Master Yichen came to see me and said that he wanted to go down the mountain to practice and take a good look at the customs and customs of Hong Kong Island. Early this morning, he went down the mountain."

Lin Chen used an excuse to leave Baolian Temple. Of course, he couldn't directly say that he wanted to go down the mountain to establish a sect.

But he changed his words and pointed out that he wanted to go down the mountain to see the bustling Xiangjiang, experience the sufferings of the world, and become an ascetic.

Smart The great monk has no way to refuse.

After all, he is not a monk of Baolian Temple, he is just staying here temporarily.

They have no right to control whether he leaves or stays.

"I wonder if Abbot Smart has the contact information of Master Yichen?"

"There is contact information"[]

The wise monk did not hide anything. After all, Qiuguan had often come to Baolian Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha in recent years, and he had offered a lot of incense money.

It’s just a contact information. If you don’t give it to yourself, the other party will get it sooner or later.

"Thank you for the clever abbot. Then we won’t disturb the abbot for his spiritual practice. It’s just about the crew.……"

Wei Jiahui thought that even if Master Yichen couldn't be in the shot, he would at least have to make the audience feel that the person speaking in the room was the Living Buddha.

Otherwise there would be no point in adding this shot.

The wise monk bowed with one hand:"I have informed my disciple Huiming that he will take you to the monastery in the back mountain for filming."

"Thank you, abbot."

After the two thanked them again, they left the abbot's room.

After waiting outside and meeting the crew, the five sisters of the Great Times learned that Master Yichen was not in the temple, but had gone down the mountain. This made them very upset. disappointment

"What a pity."

Zhou Huimin's face was full of disappointment. Among the few people, she was the one who wanted to see Master Yichen the most.

Every time she thought of the cute appearance of Master Yichen she saw on the TV station that day, Zhou Huimin couldn't help but want to The kind that hugs each other tightly and won't let go even if they beat each other to death.

Unfortunately, Zhou Huimin and Master Yichen parted ways last time because of their fanatical followers, and they have not been able to meet again until today.

"Yeah, what a shame."

Lan Jieying couldn't help but sigh.

She also wanted to see Master Yichen again.

In addition to seeing him make her feel happy and she couldn't help but want to get close to him, there was also a more important reason. That She just wants to ask about her future, that is, how her career is.

Speaking of it, Lan Jieying is unlucky. When she was at TVB, she was called the most beautiful Wutai Mountain, but after so many years, she is still lukewarm. Popularity, especially because she is getting older. After the new generation of actresses came into their careers, they were reduced to playing aunties for the heroines.

Thinking of this, Lan Jieying felt a bit ridiculous. She was only 30 years old, but she had already been reduced to this. It’s time to be an aunt to actresses who are a few years younger than me.

In two years, will I be their mother and become a professional mother? She is a child star, and among the sisters in the big era, the youngest is only 13 years old Tang Ning, listening to the words of the two eldest sisters, couldn't help but curiously asked:"Is this Master Yichen really so smart?"

"It should be quite effective."

Before Lan Jieying and Zhou Huimin could speak, Li Lizhen beside her said:

"I heard people say that some time ago, Qiu Shuzhen had an evil encounter and she could dream of dirty things every day."

"But after being consecrated by Master Yichen, she never encountered dirty things again."
