Chapter 23: The General's Mansion
General's Mansion......
On the Taishi chair in the hall, there was a middle-aged man with a somewhat solemn face, a little similar to Shui Artesian, but he looked majestic and capable, this person was Shui Artesian looking at his father - Shui Mancheng!
Shuiman City is the general of the Red Star Empire, responsible for garrisoning Luohe City!
Luohe City is the fortress of the Red Star Empire, and it is the main city that the Red Star Empire cannot lose, and the garrison of Luohe City alone has reached more than 200,000 or 300,000 elites, which also reflects the military status of Shuiman City in the Red Star Empire!
"Childe, you're back. As soon as Artesian reached the door, the two guards greeted Artesian.
"Well, yes!" Artesian nodded to the two guards!
"Childe, the general has already returned! Said that if you come back, go to the hall immediately, he has something to look for you! "One of the guards drew the artesian water, and said a word!
"I see, you have a few men to carry the big boxes from the carriage into my yard. Hearing the guard's words, Artesian Water's heart jumped!
But after thinking about it, the money has not been won back! So the stone that the water pressed on the heart was also put down!
After explaining a few words to Xiaofu, the water artesian walked in the direction of the hall!
"Son, I've seen my father!" Shui Artesian walked into the hall and bowed slightly to Shui Mancheng.
"Get on your knees. Shui Mancheng was expressionless, and suddenly two words popped out of his mouth, and Shui Artesian was suddenly startled, and knelt down obediently.
"Artesian, what have you been busy with these past few days, what have you been doing?" Shui Mancheng raised his eyelids and looked at Shui Artesian and asked.
"In the past few days, the child has been watching the scenery and painting with his friends, and chanting poetry. The artesian water replied very smoothly.
"Smack...... Nonsense, how did I hear that you often run into the casino these days. Hearing the words of Artesian Water, the old face of Shui Mancheng turned dark, and the cup in his hand fell directly to the ground, and he was about to move his liver fire!
"Uh-uh...... This, this I just heard that there are new things in Qianjinfang, so I went over to take a look, played two, and spent the rest of the time with friends, or concentrate on cultivation. "Artesian continues to lie shamelessly.
"I have something to ask you today! I suddenly have 60,000 taels of silver missing in my silver vault, I don't know if you know what it is?" Seeing that Shui Artesian lied, Shui Mancheng didn't go around the bend and cut straight to the topic.
"Well, this, this is a friend of mine who borrowed money from me, didn't I have enough money? I first took 60,000 taels of silver from my father's treasury, but now my friend has returned the silver to me!" said Shui Ziliu, looking at Shui Mancheng in a sneering manner.
"Oh, is it your friend who borrowed money from you? Who is this friend of yours? Do I know him?" Shui Mancheng looked at Shui Artesian with obvious disbelief.
"Eh, I know, father, you know, he is the second son of the Nangong family, Nangong Shaohua, you have seen it!" Shui Artesian looked at Shui Mancheng with a sincere face.
"Oh, I see, but you'd better not go to the casino, or I'll break your legs and let you recuperate at home for a while, it's okay, you go back first!"
The second son of the Nangong family, no one will believe this, the Nangong family restaurant, the shops are booming, will there be a shortage of 60,000 taels of silver? Although it is not a little, it is not a lot, and if you kill the water mancheng, you will not believe the nonsense of artesian water!
Shui Man City did not expose the artesian water, otherwise I don't know what kind of nonsense the artesian will continue to prevaricate! But we still have to find out the truth.
Shui Artesian felt relieved in his heart, as if he had been amnestied, this panic was a lie, but just as he was about to step out of the door, Shui Mancheng suddenly floated out a headless sentence: "Artesian lost it again today, right?"
"No, I didn't lose today. The artesian water replied naturally.
Due to the pressure of Shui Mancheng just now, the spirit of water artesian has been in a tense state, and when he suddenly relaxes, he is defenseless, and he slams out such a sentence without paying attention, and the water artesian suddenly turns black with his old face!
"Artesian water, you still don't want me to recruit from the truth?" Shui Mancheng slapped his palm the table, and suddenly roared angrily at the artesian.
"Father, the child knows that he is wrong, the child knows that he is wrong, and he will not dare in the future!
"Since you know it's wrong, then tell the truth, my father won't blame you!" Shui Dongcheng said gently to the artesian water, which can be described as both soft and hard!
So this time, Shui Artesian told the whole process and Shuidong City again, but it was also slightly modified, which can be regarded as nine true and one false!
"Then how much did you win alone in the end?" Listening to Shui Artesian's narration, Shui Mancheng also looked incredulous, and then asked Shui Artesian.
"That's almost more than 200,000 taels of gold per person, and Brother Luo has a little more than me!" replied honestly.
"Artesian, take the 200,000 taels of gold you won, and bring it to your father for you to keep. When he heard this number, Shui Mancheng was also frightened and opened his mouth wide.
200,000 taels of gold, this is 2 million taels of silver! That's a lot bigger than the sky! That's enough money for an army for a year!
But luck is really uncertain, maybe today is a win, tomorrow will be lost!
After all, Shui Man City can't watch the water artesian every day, and if he wins this time, maybe the water artesian will go a second time, so Shui Man City made this decision, and he still has almost 20,000 taels of gold, which is almost 200,000 taels of silver!
Qianjinfang.
"What do you say? You mean that the kid surnamed Luo lived in the Xingchen Inn! he turned out to be just a guest house!" Zi Xiaotian touched his chin and asked thoughtfully at a middle-aged man.
"Yes, I stayed in the Xingchen Inn, and I lived in the third room of Tianzi. The middle-aged man continued to say to Zi Xiaotian.
"Oh, very good, you continue to give me a good investigation, you must find out the details of this person, who are you usually in contact with? Zi Xiaoyan said with a gloomy face.
"Yes, Childe, the kid surnamed Luo didn't seem to deposit the money he won into the firm, but chose to stay in the room, Childe, do you want us to ......" The middle-aged man looked at Zi Xiaotian and asked slightly!
"No need, don't startle the snake until we find out the details of this person, we just need to observe and pay attention to him, but we don't mind letting the news out!" Zi Xiaotian immediately interrupted the middle-aged man's thoughts, and said with a slight smile.
"Then, that son, our loss today is not small, nearly more than five million silver, this is about the same as our Qianjinfang, the income of the past few months! And the eldest son, how are we going to explain?" The middle-aged man hesitated and asked.
"You don't have to worry about this, I have my own explanation on the eldest son's side, you can go and get busy first if you have nothing to do!" Zi Xiaotian frowned slightly, and then let the middle-aged man leave.
"Yes, the subordinates retired. The middle-aged man nodded to Zi Xiaotian and turned to leave.
In fact, Zi Xiaotian was also so depressed that he vomited blood, more than five million taels of silver, and lost more than five million taels in one day, if Luo Lie came once a day, then Zi Xiaotian would be waiting to close the door.
It doesn't matter if you win, you can just make money back from the gambler, Luo Lie will always have a time to spit it out, but every time you bet on it, you have to think about it again!
Even if Luo Lie is fine, from time to time to press a few bets, Zixiaotian this casino is really TMD and there is no need to open it, this is obviously working for others in vain, if you don't let the pressure bet this is not in order, if you say that someone else wins, you will block it and not let the pressure bet, how will this casino continue to open in the future, who will believe in the credibility of their casino.
Therefore, Zi Xiaotian was also in a hurry, and Qin Shouren and Li Huasi on the side didn't know how to say it, so they could only remain silent.
