Chapter 156: Exposing the Body

At this time, the maid changed two more crickets, Xia Chen bet on General Tie for 1,000 taels, Wei Han followed for 1,000 taels, and the woman in yellow bet for 2,000, and then prepared to play the flute as just now.

Xia Chen said: "I have never understood the rhythm of music, especially the sound of the flute, I feel sleepy when I hear it, can the girl wait for a while to blow it?" ”

The woman in yellow looked a little embarrassed: "It turns out that the son doesn't like the sound of the flute, but the little woman is wishful thinking." With that, he put away his flute and raised his glass to tea.

To Xia Chen's surprise, the two crickets were fighting fiercely and the situation of the last time appeared, and this tragedy happened to General Tie.

The woman in yellow stretched out her slender jade hand and put away the silver ticket: "It seems that my luck today is really good, if you two don't want to gamble, it doesn't matter." ”

Xia Chen thought to himself that the woman in yellow said this, she should have won most of the money she and Wei Han had earned before, and she could make the difference, and many casinos would find a way to make the big winner spit out some.

Seeing that the maid was about to take the two crickets away, she stretched out her hand and said, "Wait a minute, let me take another look at this guy who has caused me to lose so much money." The maid saw the woman in yellow nodding and put down the jar.

Xia Chen wanted to see the injuries on the cricket's body, although he knew that there would be no gain, after all, the cricket was black and not slippery, but if the other party really moved his hands and feet, it would at least cause her a little pressure.

As for the insects, she really didn't want to take them, so she picked up the grass used for fighting crickets on the table.

With a "snap", another jar in the handmaiden's hand fell to the ground.

The woman in yellow reprimanded: "Why are you so careless and clumsy." ”

The servant girl said in a loud voice: "The slave and the maid should die, the slave and the maid should die." ”

Xia Chen didn't think it was an accident. Why did these two people suddenly behave abnormally? Is it because of this grass? When she looked closely, she immediately discovered the mystery in it, there was a very thin needle hidden in the grass!

After a little thought, she didn't say anything: "I'm a little sleepy, and I have to go back to sleep after another gamble." As he spoke, he wrapped the grass around his finger and said to himself, "What kind of grass is this?" It's so resilient. ”

The woman in yellow immediately said to the maidservant, "Don't go yet!" Then he got up and poured a cup of tea for Xia Chen: "Drinking tea can refresh you." Her eyes were on the grass on Xia Chen's hand from time to time.

Xia Chen said with a deep taste: "Why are you sleepy too?" The tea is about to be poured out. ”

"Well, no, I just think the ring on Childe's hand is very special." The woman in yellow prevaricated.

The cricket was taken, and Xia Chen took out three thousand taels: "I bet on the black general to win." Five hundred taels of them were her own.

Wei Han looked surprised: "Chen'er, why is it so big?" ”

Xia Chen smiled slightly: "Either win some or lose some, otherwise it won't be a trip in vain." ”

Wei Han nodded very seriously: "Makes sense." I still have a thousand taels that I just won, and this one thousand taels is my own, and I bet on the black general to win. ”

The woman in yellow said, "Childe." There's no rule that says you two have to bet on the same. ”

Wei Han grinned, stretched out a hand and patted Xia Chen on the shoulder: "I will bet whatever he bets, and I am happy if I lose or win." ”

The woman in yellow said, "Yo, Childe's words are really sour." “

The maid saluted Xia Chen: "Can the son give the grass to the slave?" ”

Xia Chen suddenly said: "This one has bent me." You go get another one. Then she muttered, "If you lose again this time." I crumpled all the grass and jars into pieces. ”

The woman in yellow smiled a little unnaturally: "It's common to win and lose gambling money, why should the son be angry with these dead things." ”

Xia Chen raised his eyebrows: "I'm happy, you shouldn't let me pay it, right?" ”

This time, the two crickets really didn't have any accidents, and as a result, General Hei won, and Xia Chen and Wei Han directly won five thousand taels this time.

Huo Di, the woman in yellow, stood up: "Who are you?" What means were used! ”

Xia Chen said: "If you win by tricks, it's luck, and if I win by luck, it's tricks, has the cyclamen casino always treated customers like this?" ”

The woman in yellow said angrily: "Come on, lock them up for me!" ”

Wei Han slapped off a corner of the table with a palm and said coldly: "I'll see who dares." ”

Xia Chen tore open the grass and took out the silver needle: "I know it's useless to show this to others." But if I leave it to your owner and let him give me an explanation. Do you think he will cover you up? ”

The woman in yellow said inwardly: "How can our owner meet you!" ”

Xia Chen squinted and smiled: "If I ask the red kite girl to hand it over, it will be no problem." ”

The woman in yellow knelt on the ground with weak legs: "Childe raised his noble hand." ”

Xia Chen snorted coldly: "If I hadn't seen through your tricks, wouldn't I have to be cheated out of all your money by you!" And not only do you not apologize right away, but you also want to arrest us, and you think about it with a high hand? ”

The woman in yellow gritted her teeth and took out three thousand taels of silver tickets from her sleeve and handed it over: "This is the result of the previous two games." ”

Xia Chen raised his eyebrows: "Are you right?" If it weren't for your tricks, our three thousand taels would have become six thousand taels, I'm right. ”

The woman in yellow took out another three thousand taels with a sad face, and muttered: "Even if I don't have that needle, I may not lose every game." ”

Xia Chen happily took the silver ticket: "If it weren't for that needle, you would definitely lose, don't be afraid to sue you, those two crickets have already sued me." ”

The woman in yellow opened her eyes wide: "How did they sue you?" ”

Xia Chen said: "I grew up in the countryside since I was a child, and I can understand what the crickets say!" ”

The woman in yellow couldn't speak for a long time with her mouth open! And her appearance is as ridiculous as it is, Wei Han said "tsk": "I thought she was a beauty!" Chen'er, let's go. ”

The woman in yellow looked at the backs of the two of them, and her face turned blue with anger: "Someone! Come! Dare to come to our gambling house to make trouble, get me back the silver tickets on their bodies, and teach them a hard lesson! ”

"Wind Hall Master, you can't afford to offend these two people!"

The woman in yellow was stunned and looked at the door: "Red Guard, what do you mean by this." ”

Hongzheng smiled faintly: "You don't even recognize the third son of the Wei Mansion, no wonder you will suffer." ”

The woman in yellow looked surprised: "What did you say?" As he spoke, he glanced at the missing corner of the table: "It turned out to be him!" But why did he suddenly come to our gambling house? "Wei San Gongzi, she has naturally heard of it. But I haven't seen it, and the Wei family has never set foot in a gambling house.

Hongzheng said: "I don't know, but it was that Xia Gongzi who made you lose so badly." ”

The woman in yellow said, "Who is he?" I can't afford to offend him, can I? ”

Hongzheng said: "I only know that he is now a guest of General Yue's mansion." And before he was wrongfully imprisoned, it was King Hai and Wei Gongzi who bailed him out. ”

The woman in yellow bit her lip: "So, I can only swallow this breath?" ”

Hongzheng said: "For the time being, it can only be like this, the owner is not here now, even if you are, you will not be allowed to provoke them." ”

"Okay!"

Xia Chen counted the silver tickets: "Hey, I actually earned thirteen thousand taels!" ”

Wei Han stuffed the four thousand taels of silver tickets in his sleeve into her hand: "These are also for you." ”

"Why give it to me? You won these things, and I'll have to give you four thousand taels if you count them. ”

Wei Han smiled: "If it weren't for you, how could I win this money?" And I give you this money on condition. ”

Xia Chen was a little curious: "What conditions?" ”

Wei Han said: "The gambling house is a place where dragons and snakes are mixed, and you are not allowed to go again in the future." ”

Xia Chen pursed his lips: "I naturally know." I won't go again. She understands the principle of taking it when she sees it, and she believes that after this time, she must have been blacklisted by the cyclamen casino. It would be good if they didn't come to find the back account, how could she get into that trouble again, not to mention that she was not available.

Wei Han suddenly said, "Can you really understand what the cricket says?" ”

Xia Chen glared at him: "You also believe this kind of thing!" ”

"But how can you get the charge in the middle of it?"

Xia Chen smiled mysteriously: "Animals also have feelings, and their calls are also sentient." ”

Wei Han nodded as if he didn't understand: "It makes sense." ”

The sky is already faintly bright. Xia Chen lifted the curtain and took two deep breaths of fresh air: "Wei Han, listen." There are birds calling. ”

"Huh? What the? Bird call? Wei Han was already dozing off.

Xia Chen looked at his sleeping face and lost his mind for a while, but his usual face that was always naughty was as calm and innocent as a child at this time.

When he arrived at Yuefu, Xia Chen didn't know whether to wake him up for a while, thinking that he hadn't had a good rest in the past few days, so he decided to let him sleep for a while.

When Xia Chen woke up, he found that he was lying in Wei Han's arms for some time, and he was looking at her with a pair of bright eyes.

"Oops, you're awake?"

Wei Han teased: "I was woken up by some people!" ”

Xia Chen pushed him: "Don't get out of the car yet." ”

Wei Han said: "I'm going to the palace, you go back and get a good night's sleep." ”

In the afternoon, Xia Chen wanted to go to the antique shop, although Zhan Tian did not say his relationship with the shopkeeper Zhan. But she was still not at ease, and she was even more afraid that the shopkeeper Zhan would not be able to stand it when she learned of Zhantian's death.

Come to the street corner. Suddenly, I heard a pedestrian say: "The assassin who assassinated the King of Hai really deserves to be exposed to the streets." ”

"That is, this battle should be stopped, and if we continue to fight, we don't even have people to farm in Dayun Country, and now this grain is more expensive, and the taxes have also increased by two percent."

"But that man is really miserable, his head and body are hung on two pillars, and there is not a good place on his body."

Xia Chen was shocked when he heard this, according to Wei Han, in order to calm the anger of the Xuanguo people, the imperial court had decided to hand over Zhantian's body to General Wu for disposal, but he didn't expect them to ...... People are dead, why be so cruel.

She turned her horse's head and ran towards the garden of the king of Hailing, but the guard guarding the door said that the king had entered the palace, so she had to run to the antique shop again.

Pushing open the door of the antique shop, the room was empty, the shopkeeper Zhan has always cherished the things here, how could he leave it alone, did he already know about Zhantian?

She closed the door and inquired about passers-by, and went straight to the execution ground at the head of the vegetable market in the east of the city. When she arrived, she found that there were many people around, and she jumped off the horse to push away the crowd and saw Zhantian's head and body at a glance!

Xia Chen felt dizzy, and the voices around him seemed to be very far away all of a sudden, and the miserable white corpse was already black coagulated, with hideous scars! And this person was still alive not long ago, and he was still deliberately making trouble with her, and he was still ...... In fact, he was a cold-hearted person, and he chose to save himself at a critical moment.

"This person seems to be the shopkeeper."

"Which exhibition shopkeeper, I just heard him call this dead man his son!"

"Official, the man just fainted, and I clearly heard him call the man his son."

Xia Chen suddenly woke up, saw the shopkeeper who had fainted under the pillar, and also saw a young man with an obscene appearance bringing two officials to him.

In a hurry, she turned over her hand and took out the Wind God Slash, and used a stormy move, instantly flying sand and rocks on the execution ground, and even she herself was surprised by the power caused by this move. Taking advantage of the fact that everyone was blown away by the wind and sand, she grabbed the belt of the shopkeeper and lifted him up, swept through the crowd and flew on his horse and left here.

Detoured back to the antique shop, helped the shopkeeper into the inner hall, and poured him a glass of water to drink.

As soon as the shopkeeper woke up, he cried bitterly: "My son, my son." ”

Xia Chen didn't know how to comfort her, and she felt very uncomfortable, her mind was full of Zhantian's face with black blood and tears.

"Dad is sorry for you, if Dad had listened to you earlier, he wouldn't have ...... when he went to Jiangnan"

Xia Chen finally understood Zhantian's intentions now, he didn't want to do any silk business, but wanted to let Zhan Shopkeeper leave this place of right and wrong.

"Shopkeeper Zhan, hurry up and pack up and leave here, a lot of people have seen you just now, I'm worried that the official will find this place soon."

The shopkeeper said with tears: "I'm not leaving, I'm going to collect my son's body." ”

Xia Chen sighed deeply: "Zhan shopkeeper, if you don't leave, I'm afraid it's too late, let alone collect the body for Zhan Gongzi, even you have to worry about your life." ”

"I'm just this one son, what's the point of me living when he's dead."

Xia Chen was stunned, Zhan Tian said that he was not the biological son of the shopkeeper of Zhan, could it be that the shopkeeper of Zhan himself had no children!

"Shopkeeper Zhan, with the current situation, it is impossible to collect the body for Gongzi Zhan, you at least leave here to avoid the limelight, the Xuanguo delegation will leave Anyang tomorrow, I promise you to find a way to bury Gongzi Zhan when the time comes, you don't want him to die uncomfortably."

The shopkeeper pondered for a long time: "Little boy, then it's all up to you." ”

"Well, is there a backdoor here? You go quickly, don't worry about the matter of the shop for the time being, this is a thousand taels of silver tickets, you bring it. She had keenly heard a rush of footsteps coming this way.

Sending the shopkeeper away, Xia Chen turned around and wanted to close the store, but seven or eight officials rushed in outside the door: "Where is the shopkeeper of the exhibition?" ”

Xia Chen said: "Are you looking for the shopkeeper?" He went back to his hometown, and the store was sold to me. ”

"You? Who are you? ”

Xia Chen smiled: "I'm the new owner, what do you want to buy, I can introduce it to you, I haven't opened this day, I can count you cheaper, you see this is the new arrival of the Tanglin Jade Horse......" She introduced the things in the store one by one.

"Okay, okay, don't talk nonsense! Someone else saw him just now, and we were ordered to search this place, and then we left! The leader of the Yacha Dao, he was a little skeptical of Xia Chen's words, it can be seen that he is only a half-grown child, and he knows everything in this store very well, and although he is a little afraid, he is not flustered at all, thinking that he should not be lying.

After searching back and forth, Xia Chen sat down on his chair and let out a sigh of relief. But she only sat for a moment and stood up suddenly, although she took a detour when she came back with the shopkeeper just now, but someone should have seen it, and those yacha must have gone around to inquire, thinking of this, she hurriedly put the shop on the gate, locked the door, and left the antique shop.
