Chapter 16 Gambling is sinful

The night was getting deeper, the inn was ready to close, and Lao Bai, who had been busy all day, was sitting idly under the oil lamp grinding his nails. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info This day can make him tired, and he is a cook and a runner, and at this moment, he misses Li Dazui who sent his mother home.

Next to Lao Bai is Chu Nan, who is reading the manuscript, the title of the book is "Wulin Gaiden", as for Xiucai, it is rare that he did not settle accounts, but watched "Analects" while sipping fragrant tea.

Just when everyone was enjoying a rare leisure time, Guo Furong walked over with Mo Xiaobei angrily.

With a snap, Xiao Guo slapped on the table.

Well, this is called taking the lead, and what is important is momentum.

"Bai Zhantang, quickly return Xiaobei's sugar man to her!"

Lao Bai blew on the nail crumbs that had been filed, "I'm sorry, the sugar man has already entered his stomach." ā€

"You even lied to your children's snacks, are you ashamed?"

"The rules of the rivers and lakes, willing to gamble and lose." Lao Bai raised his eyebrows and used a radical method: "Little girl, if you want to stand out for others, you have to rely on your strength." ā€

Xiao Guo sneered, sat directly opposite Lao Bai, and said provocatively: "Without diamonds, I won't do this porcelain work." ā€

When Lao Bai heard this, he immediately became interested, only to see him lean forward and face to face with Xiao Guo, "Listen to what you mean, do you want to get started?" Let's say it first, don't cry if you lose. ā€

Who knew that Xiao Guo was also a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, and directly shouted: "Don't say it's you, even if Xuanyuan comes with a broken finger, I won't be scared." ā€

Of course, Chu Nan knew that the big-mouthed old lady was Xuanyuan with a broken finger, but he wanted to ask for more information, he didn't mean anything special, he just wanted to gossip. So Chu Nan put down the manuscript, "Ahem, who are you talking about Xuanyuan with broken fingers?" ā€

Lao Bai saw Chu Nan suddenly interject, and his eyes rolled twice: Could it be that Chu Nan also wanted to play two, but he was embarrassed to say it directly, so he wanted to talk by asking questions.

If Chu Nan knew his thoughts, he would definitely say: You think too much!

"Severed Finger Xuanyuan is a senior master on the rivers and lakes, gambling is superb, he has only lost once in his life, he was cut off a finger alive, and since then he has disappeared and withdrawn from the rivers and lakes. What, the second shopkeeper, are you interested in playing two? ā€

Chu Nancai will not be pampered by Lao Bai, because his parents told him when he was a child that he must not participate in gambling, and he must not touch it. It's ridiculous to say that the first time Chu Nan played poker was when he fought the landlord with his roommate during his military training in college.

Since then, Chu Nan has also had his own rules, entertainment is okay, but gambling is not, even if he only gambles a dime, he will not participate. For this reason, those classmates in the dormitory complained that he was unsociable and fake. But Chu Nan still went his own way, because this was a matter of principle.

Out of kindness, Chu Nan persuaded: "I think you better stop betting, I'll buy another one tomorrow for the sugar man, how about it, Xiaobei?" ā€

"Really? Thank you, Brother Chu. ā€

"Alright, go to bed, you have to go to school tomorrow."

At last the little girl went back to the house with joy. As for Xiao Guo and Lao Bai, they had no reason to gamble for a while, and they broke up unhappily.

Early the next morning, "Li Zhuangyuan", who had sent his mother back to his hometown, finally returned.

Seeing Chu Nan sitting at the table, Li Dazui walked over with a bulging little baggage.

"Big mouth, it's back."

Big Mouth directly opened the baggage, revealing a small pile of golden dried sweet potatoes inside, "Second shopkeeper, this is what my mother specially asked me to bring to you, you can taste it." ā€

Chu Nan took one casually and tasted it, it was indeed sweet and strong, the key was that it was natural and pollution-free. Then he grabbed another handful, and then pushed the rest back:

"Okay, let's divide the rest among the big guys."

"Okay."

But Chu Nan didn't know that Dazui was blocked by Lao Bai as soon as he returned to the house.

Five minutes later...

"Big mouth, let's have a game."

The big mouth was very strange, "What's the game?" ā€

In the next moment, I saw Lao Bai secretly take out two dice.

Big Mouth almost fell down in fright when he saw it, because the Ming Law strictly prohibits gambling.

"You don't know that gambling is illegal? And I promised my mother that I can't bet if I die. ā€

Lao Bai saw that this kid was not in the trap, so he made another trick: "Look at your unproductive appearance, you will be your mother's obedient son for the rest of your life." In the end, he teased in a weird way: "Son, don't talk to strangers, lest people steal your heart." ā€

Big mouth is a big man who runs three in the end, how can he stand this stimulation, as soon as he was excited, he agreed to gamble with Lao Bai on the spot, and the gambling money was the bag of dried sweet potatoes.

Who knows that Lao Bai is not only clever in gambling, but also very thorough in people's hearts.

As the saying goes, if you want to take it, you must first deal with it, and the same is true for gambling.

Lao Bai first deliberately lost two games, giving Dazui some sweetness and letting him play the trick. Immediately after that, the big mouth is the pork on the board, which is slaughtered by others. When the big mouth reacted, not only did he lose all the bags of dried sweet potatoes, but also made an IOU, including two catties of dried sweet potatoes, three catties of figs, and five catties of chai eggs.

How could Chu Nan not know about this incident, but considering the senior of the big mouth, Chu Nan is not ready to overstep his bounds, after all, in terms of gambling alone, a hundred Chu Nan bundles together are not the opponent of Xuanyuan with a broken finger.

I believe that her old man will teach Lao Bai a profound lesson.

And the big mouth didn't dare to speak out when he owed gambling money, so he went home to get things in a gloomy way, leaving only the triumphant Bai Zhantang holding the dried sweet potatoes to show off in front of people.

It is worth mentioning that Lao Bai served as a cook for another day.

Towards evening, Big Mouth carried the old lady back to the inn.

Chu Nan looked at it and hurriedly gave up his seat, "The old lady is here, please take a seat, please take a seat." ā€

And Lao Bai saw the arrival of the big-mouthed girl, and hurriedly came over to say hello.

The old lady couldn't see joy or anger on her face, and asked, "You bet with my son?" ā€

Lao Bai is proud, "It's me, where are my dried sweet potatoes, figs, and firewood eggs?" ā€

"Outside the door, wait, come in!"

With the old lady's order, Xing Zhutou walked in, and without saying a word, he directly locked Lao Bai with shackles.

"Hey, Lao Xing, what are you doing?"

"yes, why are you arresting people?"

Lao Xing was rare and serious, and he was about to go back to the yamen with Lao Bai, but he couldn't help but be not serious, because the reporter this time was not ordinary, you must know that when the old lady reported the case, Lou Zhixian went out to greet him in person.

Generally speaking, it is difficult to grasp the evidence of this kind of small gambling among the people, and the gambling is not large, and the government also turns a blind eye and goes with them. But Lao Bai was too unlucky this time, he ran into a person he couldn't afford to mess with.

Lao Bai relied on his kung fu and was familiar with the legal provisions, so he tried in vain to play the side ball and exploit the legal gap.

"Lao Xing, arrest me, give me a charge first."

"Article 29 of the seventh volume of the Da Ming Law clearly stipulates that gathering crowds to gamble will be punished with a rod and cut off at worst!"

Lao Bai is still quibbling: "We don't have any gambling money." ā€

"But you gamble on things, and those things add up to four or five hundred wen, so you just wait to be beaten."

Lao Bai saw that he really couldn't hide, so he wanted to pull his mouth wide and go into the water: "Why just catch me, and the big mouth is also betting!" ā€

Lao Xing sneered: "People are tainted witnesses, and they can be exempted from criminal responsibility according to the law." ā€

Who knew that the old lady waved her hand, "No need, we give up this right." ā€

"Huh? Mother, I.."

The old lady did not listen to the pleading of the big mouth at all, and directly and rudely interrupted him; "Take it away, take it away, even pick up the big mouth, and beat it to death!"

Xing Zhutou didn't dare to disobey the old lady, but it was not good to offend Li Dazui directly, so he had to say: "Dazui, you also heard it, it was you and your mother who ordered it, I'm sorry!" ā€

"Hit hard!"
