Jixiang Gambling House didn't have so much money to pay Lian Xuan, so he gave Lian Xuan the title deed of the gambling house.

But will Lian Xuan want it?

If Mrs. Jingbei Hou allows him to open a gambling house, the name of the first gambling house in Kyoto will still get him auspicious gambling house?

And an auspicious casino is not worth much money at all!

Lian Xuan is not uncommon in a gambling house, he only needs to win 540,000 taels of silver.

No, the two sides are at a stalemate in the casino.

surrounded a bunch of people watching the excitement, and someone persuaded Lian Xuan, "Hou Shizi of Jingbei, the auspicious gambling house can't compensate you more than 500,000 taels, and if the gambling house is handed over to you, you have to spare people and spare people, just forget it, you won't lose anyway." ”

Lian Xuan frowned in displeasure.

Buda crossed his waist and said, "What do you mean to be forgiving and forgiving?" Who is it difficult for my family? Is it my father's auspicious gambling house that set up a bet, and still set his odds so high?

"Hmph, to put it bluntly, doesn't Jixiang Casino think that my grandfather has the possibility of winning?! The door of the gambling house is open to the south, anyone can come in, besides, you are usually a frequent visitor to the auspicious gambling house, which day you are missing the silver of the auspicious gambling house, and people are magnanimous and generous? ”

Buda said, the gambling house was quiet, and the needle drop could be heard.

Until a thin man stood up, holding his hand and said, "Last time, I owed fifty taels to the Jixiang Casino, and I didn't pay it back for a long time, and the Jixiang Casino took someone to cut off one of my fingers!" ”

On his hand, the little finger was gone.

The man looked aggrieved and wanted to beg Lian Xuan to seek justice for him, but it was strange that Lian Xuan would sympathize with him.

It's not. As soon as his foot was raised, he kicked it directly.

"Death without repentance!" Lian Xuan snorted and said.

was cut off his little thumb, and he came to the auspicious casino to gamble money, and those who have backbone have quit gambling, even if they have a little backbone, they also know that they are willing to change their gambling houses, and they are willing to fight and suffer, which kind of grudge he holds.

Seeing that the man was kicked into the body of the shopkeeper of the auspicious gambling house, Xu Mao wiped the black line on his forehead.

This person can be regarded as helping Lian Xuan, how can he not distinguish between me and the enemy?

Thinking like this, I only heard Lian Xuan laugh. "Fifty taels of silver, cut off a finger. Jixiang Casino owes me money, I'm afraid that chopping you into meat scraps won't be enough to pay it back, right? ”

A group of people in the gambling house all knelt down for Lian Xuan, "Lord Shizi." Just spare us. The gambling house is really out of money. If you really want our lives, you can take it....... ”

It's really asking for money, it's going to be a life.

Zeng Fei tugged at Lian Xuan's sleeve and said. "Brother Lian Xuan, you just won the deputy marshal today, and you will go to the battlefield another day, there is no general in the court who is addicted to gambling, and the civil and military officials are not optimistic about you being a general, let's take it easy, right? People have no money, and no matter how persecuted they are, they still don't have it. ”

Lian Xuan looked at Zeng Fei, "You are stupid, more than 500,000 taels of silver, I can open this street into a gambling house, who is rare for him an auspicious gambling house?" ”

Zeng Fei was speechless for an instant, although it was true to say so, but the problem was more than 500,000 taels, but it was not a small amount, and no one had it.

Fortunately, they came quickly, forcing the gambling house to give them the money, otherwise it would have been lost.

Xu Mao glanced at the shopkeeper of the auspicious gambling house, thought of something, and said to Lian Xuan, "The silver is estimated to be not so much, but I think there should be a lot of other things in the gambling house, I have bet two jade pendants in the gambling house, and there are all kinds of house deeds and land deeds, which can be converted into silver ......." ”

Although Lian Xuan was not happy, it was okay to convert it into silver, and at most it would take a little more time to sell it.

The shopkeeper hurriedly called someone to get the gambler's mortgage.

Soon, things arrived.

There are four title deeds worth 30,000 taels.

There are also all kinds of jewelry, which are no more than 10,000 taels of silver.

"That's all?" Zeng Fei frowned and said.

The shopkeeper nodded again and again, "That's all." ”

Lian Xuan was holding a red jade bracelet in his hand, the jade was rough and unsightly.

"Who is the proprietor behind Jixiang Casino, you are just a shopkeeper, you can't be the master of this matter," Lian Xuan asked again.

He had asked more than once, but the shopkeeper didn't say whether he was alive or dead.

It's the same this time, "Hou Shizi of Jingbei, don't ask me, I really don't know, if I deceive you with half a sentence, ten thousand arrows will pierce your heart and die." ”

This oath is poisonous, and the people in the gambling house believe that he really doesn't know.

But Lian Xuan didn't believe it, and swore that such a thing was commonplace for him, and he forgot about it, and he didn't see a single spirit.

When Zhao Cheng came in, he heard this.

The corners of his mouth rose, walked to Lian Xuan's side, and without saying a word, he directly handed him an account book.

Lian Xuan took the account book with wonder and looked at it twice.

At first, he frowned, and after reading two more pages.

His plump and handsome face instantly burst out with a light that was better than the warm spring sun.

"It's really a narrow road, and the mountains don't turn around," Lian Xuan wanted to hum in a good mood.

It is not right for him to gamble, but it is even more of a crime to open a gambling house and entice people to gamble.

King Qi and Xu Fu opened such a big gambling shop, gathered people to collect money, and lost so much money to him in betting, so they gave him a broken gambling shop and called Huazi?

The shopkeeper of the auspicious gambling house kept looking at Lian Xuan, and when he saw the account book in his hand, his heart was beating, and beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on his forehead.

Lian Xuan had only turned two pages, and his back was already soaked in cold sweat.

I didn't know what to do, so I heard Lian Xuan sneer, "In front of me, you dare to speak empty-handed and take it away!" ”

Zhao Cheng went over, took the arm of the shopkeeper of the auspicious gambling house, and directly lifted him up.

The shopkeeper thought that he was going to take him to the criminal department for trial, but he didn't expect that he would be taken directly into the palace and directly in front of the imperial study.

Inside the Imperial Study.

The emperor was reviewing the folds, and the little father-in-law came in and said, "Your Majesty, the prince of Jingbei asks to see you." ”

"No," the emperor did not raise his eyebrows.

The little father-in-law withdrew, and came back after a while, bowing and saying, "Your Majesty, the prince of Jingbei said that he came for something important and very important." Very important, 100,000 urgent, burning eyebrows, if you don't see him, he will starve to death....... ”

Although the little father-in-law didn't understand what the connection between 100,000 people was in a hurry and starved to death, the Hou Shizi of Jingbei said so, and he passed the word like this.

The emperor's brows tightened, and he slapped the music fold on the table, "What can he do?!" ”

Gonggong Xu said with a smile. "Your Majesty. Let's see it, the prince of Jingbei came to the imperial study to ask for a meeting, and it was the first time. ”

"First time?" The emperor glanced at Gonggong Xu, "Last time, he pretended to be Xiao Lao'er." I was also whipped twice! ”

said. The corner of the emperor's mouth hooked. Something flashed in his eyes, and he waved his hand and said, "Let him in." ”

Father-in-law Xu. “……。”

Why does he think that the emperor wants to find a reason to beat the prince of Jingbei?

Didn't you hang him for three days last time, and he hasn't been discouraged?

Gonggong Xu raised his forehead, the emperor was not angry last time, but the fact that the prince of Jingbei kicked the buttocks of the third prince and tore the brocade robe of the second prince.

When the father-in-law went out to spread the word, Lian Xuan grabbed the shopkeeper's collar and dragged him in.

This posture really shocked the emperor, "What are you messing around again?" ”

Lian Xuan pointed at the shopkeeper with an aggrieved face, and complained, "Your Majesty, he and his master owe me more than 500,000 taels and don't pay it back, I'm here to ask the emperor to be the master." ”

As he spoke, Lian Xuan lifted the account book.

Gonggong Xu was stunned, he never dreamed that Lian Xuan would come to sue, and there were still people who dared to owe him money and not pay it back, who was so bold?

When Lian Xuan said that Xu Fu and King Qi partnered to open a gambling house, Father-in-law Xu knew that something was going on.

Not to mention what will happen to King Qi and Xufu, the prince of Jingbei Hou Shizi gambled by himself and sent it to the door, and he couldn't run away with a meal today.

After taking the account book, Gonggong Xu hurriedly sent it to the emperor.

It is clearly recorded in the account book that on which day, how much money was sent to Xu Fu and King Qi, as well as to the ministers of the court, are recorded.

Among them, the Xu Mansion accounted for 40%, the Qi Wangfu accounted for 30%, and the other ministers added up to 30%.

Moreover, the amount was so large that the emperor was furious.

Lian Xuan saw that the emperor was angry, he was happy, and pointed to the shopkeeper, "The account book is written by him, and the human and material evidence are there, so I ask the emperor to see it." ”

In front of the emperor, there was an account book, and the shopkeeper was already stupid, and as soon as the emperor shot the dragon case, he confessed.

The emperor endured his anger and summoned King Qi and Lord Xu.

King Qi was seriously injured and did not enter the palace.

It was Lord Xu who came, and as soon as he entered the imperial study, he called him wronged, saying that he had nothing to do with Jixiang Casino, and he didn't know the shopkeeper of Jixiang Casino.

When the emperor heard this, his forehead was bruised, and anyone who was deceived by a fool couldn't be happy.

"Wronged?! Do you want me to send someone to copy the Xu Mansion and see if there is anything sent by the auspicious gambling house?! The emperor directly threw the account book on Lord Xu.

Now, Lord Xu didn't say that he was wronged, but only begged the emperor to say, "Your Majesty, the minister is confused for a while, and I ask the emperor to forgive me!" ”

Lian Xuan knelt on the ground, he knelt for a long time, and his legs were numb, but the emperor just didn't tell him to get up, he wanted to get up, and the emperor coughed.

He is not stupid, he knows that the emperor is deliberately making him suffer.

He was angry, and when he saw Lord Xu, he couldn't hold back at all, "I'm not interested in the matter of you opening a gambling house with King Qi, you calculate it slowly, and pay back the money you owe me first, I have an urgent need." ”

Lord Xu couldn't wait to strangle Lian Xuan, he gambled once, and he almost asked for half of the Xu family.

But in front of the emperor, he didn't dare to make a mistake.

As soon as the emperor heard this, he patted the dragon case and said, "One is a minister of the court, who runs a gambling shop, and the other is a deputy marshal, who goes to gamble and makes trouble in front of me?!" I confiscated that money and put it into the treasury! ”

Hearing the emperor say that his money was filled into the treasury, Lian Xuan's eyes instantly widened, and then widened.

Bandits!

The money was given to the treasury, so what did he eat and drink the northwest wind?

Lian Xuan knew that he couldn't fight the emperor, but he had a backstage, Lian Xuan touched his nose and said, "Your Majesty, I'm sorry, the money can't be handed over to the treasury, as soon as I heard that I had more than 500,000 taels, I was dizzy with joy at that time, and told my grandfather that when I got the silver, I would give him all the filial piety, so that he could see that I was so obedient, and don't pick my nose and eyes at me in the future...... I'm also afraid that my grandfather will be in a hurry, and I will mistakenly think that I am lying to him, so I will go to the emperor to complain, otherwise I will have a private ...... with Lord Xu and King Qi. ”

The implication is that although the money is his, he is too filial, and he is all handed over to Xiao Laoguogong.

If you don't pay it back, that's okay.

It doesn't matter if you want the money to go to the treasury.

He doesn't care, who told him to treat money as dung, and he still believes in his words, he really can't help it, you are welcome to go to my grandfather to discuss~.

Hearing Lian Xuan's righteous and awe-inspiring words of filial piety, the corners of the emperor's mouth almost twitched.

Is he filial to Xiao Lao Guogong?

I don't know who didn't listen to Xiao Laoguogong's words when he had something to do, and made him angry.

The emperor knew that Lian Xuan was a fool, but he just didn't know it.

No matter how much Lian Xuan messes around, no matter how much he angers Xiao Lao Guogong, it is also his grandson.

Don't look at Xiao Laoguo's fairness and dislike Lian Xuan, it's not okay, it's not okay to scold or beat, but there is a good saying, beating is kissing and scolding is love, and if he beats and scolds, it doesn't mean that others are allowed to beat and scold Lian Xuan.

Looking for Xiao Laoguogong, he must be protecting Lian Xuan, there is no doubt about it.

This money must not be handed over to the national treasury.

Lord Xu knelt there, his body trembling a little.

He couldn't imagine what the consequences would be if he couldn't get together more than 500,000 taels in time.

Perhaps, Xiao Lao Guogong led a team of men and horses to surround the Xu Mansion and came to ask for money, after all, it is natural to repay debts.

Lord Xu hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the minister must do his best to gather this money and send it to the Xiao Guo Mansion." ”

Lord Xu's attitude, Lian Xuan is quite satisfied.

However, the emperor was not satisfied.

Although it is not illegal to open a gambling house, it is for ordinary people, and for officials, it is not allowed to visit a green house, let alone open a green house and a gambling house.

After all, if you are an official, if you don't set an example, how can you educate the people?

It's just that rules are always rules.

The people do not sue, and the officials do not hold them accountable.

The matter of opening a gambling house is not a big trouble, it is definitely not a.

This is also why Lian Xuan chose to sue the emperor directly, instead of going to the official office to complain, it is really a delay in time, and it has no effect, in case Lord Xu said that the gambling house was opened by the general manager of his house, and the official office did not dare to offend him, so he turned a blind eye and closed the case.

But the emperor is different, Lord Xu is the maiden family of the Empress Dowager Xu, and he did not stop him from seizing the heir at the beginning, which can be regarded as an old feud.

For the Xu family, the emperor will not show mercy.

No, the emperor waved his dragon robe and seized the auspicious gambling house.

Not only that, Lord Xu was also demoted by one level and fined for three years.

As for praying for the king......

He didn't have anything to do, because Lord Xu took all the business of opening the gambling house on himself.

He said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with King Qi, and the emperor also knows that King Qi has no other hobbies, so he likes to eat, before he left Beijing to go to the fiefdom, he heard that I was going to open a restaurant, so he gave me 10,000 taels as a share, and I temporarily changed my mind and opened a gambling house...... Over the years, I only gave King Qi the money for dividends, and he didn't ask about the gambling house, and he didn't even know that I opened a gambling house. ”

In this way, King Qi is not only right, but also very aggrieved.

Lian Xuan rolled his eyes when he heard this.

Dare not do it, isn't it because he is afraid that the emperor will be angry, and he will not let King Qi be the deputy marshal and abandon the car to protect the marshal!

Let him escape once today, he won't believe it, go to the border gate, and there are a bunch of dead ghosts to help him!

When Lord Xu went back to raise money, the emperor began to clean up Lian Xuan.

Lian Xuan looked innocent, "Your Majesty, I gambled a few days ago, and I was not a deputy marshal at that time, and besides, I just want to ask for debts today, or do I ask for ......debts for my grandfather." ”

There is a black line on the door of Xu Gonggong's head.

It's no wonder that Xiao Laoguo wants to smoke the prince of Jingbei Hou when he has nothing to do, he really should be beaten, he is instigating the emperor to beat Xiao Laoguo's board.

Lian Xuan continued, "Not only did I gamble, but I also had the second prince, the third prince, my eldest brother, and the lord of Hanyue...... It's all gambling. ”

If you want to fight, you will fight together~.
