Chapter 36: Go to the Gambling House Again
Lu Caiyun looked at the shopkeeper and said, "Uncle Lu, bring the account book!" ”
"Miss, the goods on our Zhuangzi are almost sold out, you have to send a letter to Suzhou soon." The shopkeeper of the road said while taking the account book to Caiyun.
"It just so happens that there are four hundred taels of silver on this account, and I wrote to Suzhou yesterday to ask the Suzhou side to send three hundred taels of silver. plus the one hundred taels owed last time, this time it happened to be returned to Uncle Su. Caiyun looked at the ledger and said.
"Xiaoyun, you bought all the silver taels of silk, how can you repay your father's thirty taels? Do you want the people in the house to follow you to drink the northwest wind? Chen Bo said dissatisfied
"Xianggong, isn't it time to repay the silver yet? What are you anxious about? ”
"There are ten days left, and it's next month, can you earn thirty taels in these ten days?" Chen Bo asked, his face sank.
"Don't worry! Ten days is enough for me to earn three hundred taels of silver, let alone thirty taels. Caiyun knew that he didn't give him any money, and he wanted him to come to work in Zhuangzi every day, and he was tired of being idle and lazy all day long.
"What do you say over there in Suzhou? Can you bring us the silk in three days? ”
"I just went to the letter yesterday, and it is estimated that the silk truck is already on the way today, and if nothing else, it can be delivered in two and a half days." Caiyun said with a smile.
Chen Bo pursed his lips, "If nothing happens, aren't they afraid of bandits?" ”
"Since Uncle Su said that he will deliver goods to our door, there must be a way to deal with the bandits, these things are not for you and me to consider."
Chen Bo said angrily, "I'm tired, bored, and want to go to the street." ”
Caiyun smiled and said, "Do you want to go shopping with you for your wife?" ”
Chen Bo glanced at Caiyun: "No need, you still help Lu Bo in Zhuangzi!" ”
Seeing Chen Bo go out, Xiaochun asked in a low voice, "Miss, do you want to send someone to follow your uncle?" ”
"No need, let him know that I don't trust him, and it's not good to send someone to spy on him."
"Miss, yesterday, my uncle said that he would pay some silver taels from the account." The shopkeeper looked at Caiyun and whispered.
"Did you give him any money?" Caiyun was afraid that Chen Bo would take the silver to gamble.
"No, I said that the silver in this account, the small one can't be the master, let him wait for you to come."
Caiyun explained to Lu Bo, "That's good, don't give him a tael of silver, otherwise he will gamble again." ”
"Got it, Miss." After Lu Bo finished speaking, he took the account book back to the counter.
"Miss, I don't think my uncle is very happy, is he addicted to gambling, he has no money to gamble, and he is bored?" Koharu asked worriedly.
Caiyun smiled: "Maybe! ”
"Miss, if you let him go out alone, aren't you afraid that he will borrow usury again?"
Caiyun smiled; "Don't be afraid, he will borrow money from me to pay it back, but he wants to stay in Zhuangzi to work to pay off the debt, if he thinks it is cost-effective, he will borrow it, I think it is impossible for Zhang San to lend him again."
Chen Bo came out of the silk Zhuangzi and went directly to the gambling house, you must know that the gambling house was opened by Zhang San, and Zhang San's gang of thugs saw Chen Bo coming in, and hurriedly ran to report: "Third master, Chen Bo is coming to the gambling house again." ”
Zhang Sanzheng was eating wine with his little wife in his arms, and when he heard Chen Bo coming to the gambling house again, he pouted and said, "Very good, this kid still dares to come, there is a kind, you go and watch first, and when he loses all the money, he will come back again." ”
Zhang San's little wife said in his arms: "Third master, that Chen Bo is the son of Governor Chen, let's try to provoke him as little as possible." ”
"What's wrong with Governor Chen? In terms of power, he is not as good as me Zhang San, don't worry! The strong dragon can't suppress the ground snake," he said and kissed his little wife on the face.
"Third master, ...... Chen Bo?"
"What's the matter? Didn't you sue you and wait until he lost before reporting it? As soon as he raised his glass, his men came in again. Zhang San said impatiently......
"Third master, he only wandered around the crowd, and he didn't gamble."
Zhang San smiled, "Just go around, don't gamble, it seems that this kid has no money and itchy hands!" ”
The thug smiled and said, "Third Master, should we lend him money?" ”
"Wait, he hasn't paid me back all the money from last time. His wife. ”
"Third Master, didn't you personally bring someone to his house to ask for accounts?"
"Don't mention the account, his wife, really, Xiaoru, you avoid it first." Zhang San was embarrassed to say in front of his wife that he was not as good as a woman, and he was afraid of losing face, so he wanted to send his little wife away.
When the little wife heard that he let her leave, she "snorted" and pouted and left.
Seeing the little wife go down, Zhang Sanming's subordinates brought Chen Bo to him.
Chen Bo saw that other people were gambling money, and his hands were itching, and he was about to find an acquaintance to borrow a few taels of silver and gamble, when he saw Zhang San's thug walking up to him: "Third master, call you, say I miss you, I want to chat with you." ”
When Chen Bo heard this, Zhang San called himself, knowing that there was nothing good, and said in his mouth: "I don't want to chat with him, I still have something to do, so I will leave first." "After saying that, I want to run.
"It's not that easy to run." Brothers, hurry up and catch Chen Bo. The thug responded, and more than a dozen thugs came over and tied up Chen Bo Wuhua and escorted him to Zhang San.
Zhang San saw Chen Bo, who was kneeling in front of him, smiled and walked over and said, "Brother Chen, you and I haven't seen each other for a while, I thought you would change your mind and stop gambling from now on." ”
"Third master, it's not that I don't want to come to cheer you on, it's really that the lady is too strict."
"You still owe me ninety taels of silver, when will you pay it back?"
"Third master, isn't my lady already paying you back the silver?"
"Am I stupid when you are the third master? You borrowed me a hundred taels, and only paid me back ten taels, say it! When are the remaining ninety taels going to be returned? ”
"Third master, when I have the silver, I will definitely pay you back, or you can lend me another ten taels, maybe I will be lucky today and can win the silver."
"It seems that you don't just have itchy hands, but also itchy skin."
After Zhang San finished speaking, he slapped Chen Bo twice on the left and right sides of the face.
After Zhang San beat Chen Bo, he instructed his subordinates: "Nine of you, each of you will slap him in the face ten times, and the ninety taels of silver he owes me will be written off." ”
"Third master, why don't you lend him silver, you must know that he is the winner of nine out of ten bets, and then we will write him an IOU of usury." One of his subordinates kindly reminded Zhang San.
"Where did he get the money to pay me back, I don't want to go to his house to ask for accounts, his wife is not a master to mess with, his father is a local parent official, if he has money to gamble in the future, just do it, and drive him away if he has no money." ――
