Chapter 11 The Casino Brings Out Evil Spirits
The white clouds and dogs, flowing water, in the blink of an eye, the world is already April again.
Xu is because he was taught enough lessons in the Jinluan Palace last time, Liu Wuyong has stayed in the mansion and rarely comes out, even Qingcheng is happy, and after a comfortable Spring Festival, she is busy again, no one troubles her, she naturally has more time to do her own things.
Shen Xian Pavilion, this is a new restaurant opened three months ago, the dishes are rich and exquisite, just looking at it is mouth-watering, since its opening, every day is full, and it is more attractive to sit in the place, is the mysterious boss behind the scenes.
It is rumored that Su Yu, the owner of Shen Xian Pavilion, is only seventeen years old but calm and wise, a fairy wind and bones are handsome and elegant, and he is kind and kind, and when he meets a beggar who comes to ask for food, he is always kind and generous, this is a rumor from outsiders, no one has ever seen his real appearance, but just this gimmick is enough to attract those diners who want to meet this young talent in vain.
At that time, Lian Qingcheng and Feng Guixie were sitting by the window on the second floor, and the two of them were quietly sipping wine, and no one spoke.
The few customers sitting at the other table were very lively.
"A few years ago, a new silver shop was opened in the west of the city, have you ever been there?"
"There is more than one silver shop in Kyoto, what's strange?"
"Don't say it, this silver shop is really different, outsiders call the silver shop owner 'loyal boss', when it is really a good hand in business, loyal boss said, whoever puts the money into him, add another cent of interest when receiving the account every month, the day before yesterday I asked the shop pΓΉ guy to calculate, just six months, just the amount of profit, are more than ten taels of silver, now, half of the people in Kyoto have put money into the shop of the loyal boss."
"Is that true?"
"You don't believe my words, can the white silver be fake when you put it in front of you?"
"There are still such good things in the world, I will go back now and let the lady take the money to Boss Zhong."
"Hey, wait, I'll go too."
After a few people finished speaking, they dispersed, Feng Guiyi looked at Lian Qingcheng, and said with a light smile: "The June period has just arrived, and you brought me here, not just to listen to a few words, the loyal boss of the silver shop sounds very familiar." β
"The four princes already have the answer in their hearts, so why bother asking me for verification again."
She pursed her lips and looked at her, her eyes radiant.
"You let Lian Zhong be the owner of the silver shop, and you wantonly made profits to the people, where did the overpaid profits come from?"
"Have you forgotten that on that day, I bought four people to attract the people to put the money in Lian Zhong, and then use the money to open other shops, and then send the money earned from these shops to the silver shop for profit."
"I was wrong, Cheng'er is not only brilliant, but also a business wizard, and controls the economic lifeline of the entire Dachang for six months, and what he said is true."
There was a soft light in his eyes, and he suddenly caught a glimpse of the young man in white who walked out of the private room, and slowly put down his wine glass.
"In this way, Su Yu, the owner of Shenxian Pavilion who makes outsiders very curious, should be him."
"Childe only drinks and doesn't eat food, is it because he dislikes that the dishes made by the master in this pavilion are not delicious?"
The young man lifted his robe and sat down next to Lian Qingcheng, his face was much better than the day she rescued him.
"I wrote this dish and recipe for Xiaoyu to send it personally, how can I dislike my taste."
She glared at him with feigned anger, picked up a piece of fish meat with chopsticks and put it in her mouth and chewed it slowly, "Yes, I put other condiments on my basis, and the taste has improved a lot." β
"Then I will thank Gongzi for his praise, and I read the "Book of Food" a few times before I dared to add some of my own ideas to it."
The young man is still that unruly appearance, and his cold and unearthly temperament is incompatible with this earthly world, but because of Lian Qingcheng by his side, it adds a lot of vitality to him.
"You can already stand alone in this Shenxian Pavilion, it seems that I won't have to come here often in the future."
She looked at him with a calm expression.
As early as when the slave market bought the four of them back, she had already treated them as brothers and relatives, this subordinate relationship was not what she wanted, Su Yu was the youngest but smartest of the four, and a lot of truth was clear, so she handed over the restaurant to him to take care of, and the place of chatting was often the place where the best way to obtain secrets, and in the past few months, she has mastered a lot of secrets about Liu Xiang and Feng Guifang.
"What nonsense is Childe, Su Yu's life was saved by you, I don't allow you to leave me here and leave it alone."
With a little anger on his face, when he left the place that made him miserable, the four of them swore that the life of this life was only for Lian Qingcheng, he had trained hard for so long, he tried to make himself better and better, what did he mean now, he was no longer needed?
"It's just for your own good, if you want to save your life, don't have too much contact with Cheng'er, so that when she needs you, she will be unprepared."
Feng Guiyi couldn't help but speak, he knew her intentions, and he always knew that she had provoked Liu Muxian, and those eyes must be staring at her all the time, if he found out that there was such a powerful force behind her, he would definitely get rid of it quickly.
"Is that so?"
Su Yu looked at Lian Qingcheng suspiciously, he was obviously two years older than her, but at this time, he was like a child, full of grievances.
She nodded slightly, without further explanation, but only a slight movement was enough to reassure him.
Xiao Er walked over and handed Su Yu a letter, and after reading the signature on it, he opened the envelope and handed it to Lian Qingcheng.
"The eldest brother sent someone to send it over, I think something happened to the gambling house."
Qingcheng unfolded the letter and glanced at it, and got up with a sneer.
"What's wrong?"
Feng Gui saw her move, and then stood up.
"Liu Wuyong wants to find death again."
Her eyes lit up, she clenched her silver teeth, put down the letter and went downstairs.
Outsiders know that when the prime minister's son-in-law Liu Wuyong was rude and unreasonable, no one in his eyes, incompetent and talentless and bad gambling, all the gambling houses in Kyoto were gambled by him, and he preferred to play scoundrels, and the casino owners had to swallow their anger because of his identity, and then saw him on the street, and closed the door from afar to let him in.
After the incident in the Jinluan Palace, Liu Wuyong was locked up by Liu Muxian for a few months, and as soon as he was released today, he went straight to the casino as soon as he stepped out of the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and in the whole of Kyoto, only this one let him in.
"Yo, it's going to be a lively day."
Liu Wuyong was tied to a pillar by a large number of flowers, and several casino thugs were circling around him with sticks, and the owner who gave her the letter was cold, wearing a black robe and sitting on a sandalwood chair full of anger, staring at Liu Wuyong with his eyes.
This is what Lian Qingcheng saw when she came in, she walked straight to Liu Wuyong, squinted and smiled: "Young Master Liu, long time no see." β
"Lian Qingcheng, why are you here!"
Liu Wuyong gritted his teeth and screamed, his eyes were very frightened.
"What are you afraid of, the person who tied you here is not me, my son is shopping outside, I heard passers-by say that the dignified Liu Gongzi lost money and repaid the debt, and was tied into a meat dumpling by the cold boss of the casino, and came in to take a look at it when he was curious, why, thinking of what happened that day, his heart was empty?"
"Hmph, I have nothing to be ashamed of, you sissy, colluding with the emperor to design to harm me, I will definitely avenge this revenge."
"Sissy? This name is very nice. β
She raised her eyebrows and let out a sneer, and Liu Wuyong saw the cold glint in his eyes, and his body trembled even more.
"You, what do you want to do?"
"Don't worry, I won't beat you today, why don't we gamble?"
"Are you sure?"
He asked in disbelief, with some luck in his voice, he is also a casino veteran, and even Qingcheng's white appearance, at a glance, he knew that he had never entered the door of the casino, and he dared to bet with him, and he was doomed.
"Naturally", Qing Cheng smiled and turned to look at Han Lie, "Boss Han, I know that the casino has casino rules, it's better to do this, I'll have a gamble with Liu Gongzi, if I lose, I will pay off the money owed for him, if Liu Gongzi loses"
She pursed her lips, stared at Liu Wuyong and said, "What should you do?" β
"The Prime Minister's Mansion has money, but if I lose, will I not be able to afford to lose?"
"I don't want money".
Lian Qingcheng went straight to the point.
Liu Wuyong looked at him in surprise, he came to the casino to gamble for money, and he didn't want money, so what did he want?
"What do you want?"
"If you lose, I will still pay back the money you owe to the gambling house, but in return, you have to give me the title deed of the Prime Minister's Mansion, how about it, dare?"
She spoke disrespectfully and deliberately provoked him.
Seeing that Liu Wuyong was frowning and still hesitating, Han Lie reminded at the right time: "Lian Gongzi has to think clearly, the money that Liu Gongzi owes us is enough to buy three prime minister's mansions." β
How did you lose so much?!
He looked at Han Lie in surprise, he didn't understand the rules of the casino before, but he only gambled ten and lost so much money, no wonder Han Lie would dare to arrest him regardless of his identity, if his father knew, how could he make himself feel better
"How about it, Liu Gongzi can think about it, to bet, or not to bet?"
If he wins, even Qingcheng will pay back all the money for him, and if he loses, it is only a land deed, and he just doesn't give it afterwards, and even Qingcheng doesn't dare to do anything to him
"Okay, I'll bet."
Sorting out the stakes in this, he also has a little more confidence.
"In order to prevent Liu Gongzi from betraying his trust in the future, it is better for us to set up a note."
"Huh, I'll lie to you?"
"What if".
She blinked her eyes, reached out to Han Lie to ask for a pen and paper, wrote a few lines on it, then put the pen and pressed the handprint, seeing that Liu Wuyong was still tied, she walked behind the pillar and loosened the tie for him, taking advantage of his distraction, he quickly grabbed his index finger and pressed it on the paper.
"I don't know anything about casinos, so why don't we play the easiest one, how about rolling the dice?"
"Today, uncle, I will let you pay the entire Lian Wangfu."
Liu Wuyong grinned, stood opposite Lian Qingcheng, and took the dice handed by Han Lie.
The two put the dice into two bowls and shook them for a long time, and then put them down at the same time, he couldn't wait to open them, looked down, and the whole person was happy.
"Six-six-six, haha, you're doomed."
"Really?"
With a bit of provocation on his face, Qingcheng slowly opened the bowl.
"This, this is impossible, how can there be an extra half a dice, impossible!"
Liu Wuyong shouted in disbelief, Lian Qingcheng actually shook a piece of sieve in half, six six six one, a little more than him, how is this possible.
"Young Master Liu, seven days later, ten miles outside the city, I am waiting for your title deed."
She threw herself back and laughed, and walked out.
Feng Guixie waited for her to come out outside, and when she saw her, she had a little more smile on her face.
"You really gave Liu Muxian a ** annoyance this time."
She smiled and said nothing, how could she not know what he meant, the Prime Minister's Mansion was given to Liu Muxian by Feng Wushi in the year he ascended the throne, and now he was lost by Liu Wuyong as a bet, even if she couldn't get the title deed in the end, she would have to play them hard.
"What does it matter, you have suffered so many grievances from the Liu family over the years, just help you get angry, I don't care who the enemy is."
