Volume 1 Through the Tang Dynasty Chapter 48 Gambling
The three of them followed Wei Xuzhong from afar and came all the way to the Caiyuan Gambling House.
Wei Xuzhong hesitated at the door of the gambling hall for a moment, then raised his feet and walked in.
They were about to follow in, when Lu Xiaoxian suddenly saw a familiar figure, which made his heart tremble.
This is a beautiful woman, when he had a secret meeting with Feng Junheng in Nanba County, Lu Xiaoxian had a brief meeting with this woman when he left the inn, which left a deep impression on him.
Looking at the beauty, Lu Xiaoxian showed a smile on his face and said to Yang Si: "Brother Yang, you go in first, I'll look for you later!" ”
Yang Si obviously saw this woman as well, he didn't ask the reason, but said softly: "Her name is Feng Man, and she is Feng Junheng's daughter!" :
After that, Yang Si entered the gambling house.
It turned out that she was Feng Junheng's only daughter, no wonder she would meet her in Nanba County, there is no doubt that she went to Nanba with her father.
"Qin Jun, you also go inside and wait for me!"
Qin Jun nodded and entered the gambling house.
Feng Man came to the door of the gambling house and did not go in, but looked anxiously.
Lu Xiaoxian whistled, and asked her in a daze: "Miss, who are you looking for, I'll help you?" ”
When Feng Man saw Lu Xiaoxian, the surprise on her face flashed, obviously she recognized Lu Xiaoxian. She glanced at Lu Xiaoxian: "Deng's apprentice!" ”
Lu Xiaoxian almost didn't laugh when he heard it: beauties are different, even scolding people are so elegant, wouldn't it be better to directly scold hooligans or perverts?
He pretended to be overjoyed: "Hehe, then don't look for it, I am." ”
Feng Man's face showed a hint of crimson, and she said angrily: "If you don't leave, I'll call someone!" ”
This sentence really works, Lu Xiaoxian didn't want to cause trouble here, so he turned around and entered the gambling house.
This will be the busiest time of the Caiyuan Casino, and the casino will be full of people and even a little crowded. Especially on the innermost gambling table, surrounded by gamblers watching the game.
At this moment, a young man stood on the side of the gambling table, a sneer appeared on his face, and he looked at Wei Xuzong on the opposite side and snorted coldly: "What, haven't you lost enough?" Sending silver again? ”
The young man is Feng Yuanyi, the only son of Feng Junheng, the assassin of Panzhou, and the only heir to the future head of the Feng family. Originally, his life had been very chic, but since the imperial court sent the superintendent Yushi arrived in Panzhou, all this has changed.
His father was frowning and sighing all day, as if the end was near. Feng Yuanyi felt strange, his father had always taught him to be loyal to the monarch and patriotism, and in his eyes, his father was a great loyal minister, why was he so worried about the imperial history sent by the imperial court to supervise the imperial history.
Later, Feng Yuanyi asked his sister to find out that the original supervisor Yushi who was sent was a cool official, and they could convict the good people by various means of framing, no wonder his father was so worried.
Therefore, Feng Yuanyi was very resistant to these people sent by the imperial court.
The young and vigorous Feng Yuanyi has been looking for an opportunity, wanting to give these officials and masters from the imperial capital some color to see, and vent his anger for his father.
The night before yesterday, Wei Xuzhong came to the gambling house, and it happened that Feng Yuanyi was also there.
He recognized at a glance that Wei Xuzhong was one of those people from the imperial capital. So, he deliberately provoked Wei Xuzhong to bet with him. Wei Xuzhong could not stand the agitation, and did not hesitate to fight, but lost two nights in a row.
Feng Yuanyi just wanted to vent his anger and planned to accept it when he saw it, but he didn't expect Wei Xuzhong to come again tonight.
Seeing Wei Xuzhong, Feng Yuanyi's anger in his heart didn't come to a place, and he couldn't help but speak in a mean tone.
Listening to Feng Yuanyi's words, Wei Xuzhong's heart was also on fire.
Although his official position is not big, who in Luoyang City does not know the name of Wei Yushi, who dares not to give him face. If he was in Luoyang City, he would have sent someone to put this kid in prison, let him taste the torture of Zuo Su Zhengtai, and see if he was still arrogant.
However, this is not Luoyang after all, Wei Xuzhong took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed his anger and said to Feng Yuan: "Don't talk so much, it's not certain who loses and who wins." Come on, see the real chapter under your hands! ”
Feng Yuanyi had seen Wei Xuzhong's gambling skills, and he didn't talk about dealing with him at all, and raised his hand slightly to make a gesture of invitation.
Lu Xiaoxian finally squeezed into the circle, approached Yang Si, and asked softly, "What's going on?" ”
"My subordinates have already investigated clearly, is it like this......" Yang Si attached to Lu Xiaoxian's ear and explained the cause and effect in detail.
After listening to Yang Si's speech, Lu Xiaoxian was also a little surprised: "It turns out that he is Feng Junheng's only son?" ”
"That's right!"
Lu Xiaoxian suddenly remembered Feng Man outside the gambling house, looking at her anxious appearance, he must have known about it, but it was just inconvenient to come in.
After thinking about it for a while, Lu Xiaoxian figured out the joints.
People actually have weaknesses, and Feng Man is the same.
Lu Xiaoxian guessed that the reason why Feng Man was so anxious was probably because of her reckless younger brother.
Wei Xuzhong's bet with Feng Yuanyi was very simple, rolling the dice to compare the size, and Lu Xiaoxian only watched one game and concluded that Wei Xuzhong would definitely lose.
He didn't bother to look any further, and said to Yang Si: "You stay here, we'll wait for you at the door first!" ”
After that, Lu Xiaoxian beckoned to Qin Jun, and the two squeezed out and left the gambling house.
Feng Man was still standing at the door of the gambling house, and when he saw Lu Xiaoxian coming out, he glanced at him and ignored him, just absentmindedly tugging at the corner of his clothes.
Lu Xiaoxian and Qin Jun came to Feng Man, and he said lightly as if nothing had happened: "If there is one more pillar of incense, Brother Ling will win the victory and win that person's silver cleanly!" ”
Listening to Lu Xiaoxian's words, Feng Man's body was shocked, and a complicated expression appeared on his face.
Looking at Feng Man's strange expression, Lu Xiaoxian's heart moved, his head was running quickly, and he had an idea in an instant.
"It stands to reason that winning silver is a good thing, but for Brother Ling and your Feng family, I'm afraid it's not a good thing!"
As he spoke, Lu Xiaoxian carefully watched Feng Man's every move.
Sure enough, as soon as Lu Xiaoxian's words fell, Feng Man trembled like chaff and muttered to himself: "I know, this day will always come, and the fall of the Feng family is probably inevitable!" ”
Lu Xiaoxian frowned, Feng Man's abnormal behavior made him feel a little surprised.
He asked tentatively, "Miss Feng, what is on your mind?" ”
Feng Man came back to his senses, stared at Lu Xiaoxian, and asked coldly: "Young Master Lu, please help me come up with an idea, what can I do to resolve the current crisis?" ”
"Crisis? What crisis? Lu Xiaoxian deliberately pretended to be stupid.
"It's been more than 20 days since the imperial court's inspector Yu Shi came to Panzhou, but he didn't make any moves, is this normal? If I'm not mistaken, they're waiting for their chance! ”
"What chance?" Lu Xiaoxian asked.
"One blow, completely wipe out the opportunity of the Feng family! The poor father couldn't see the situation clearly, and always thought that if he was loyal, the court would let him go! The Feng family is already in danger, but my brother is not sensible, and he has to provoke people from the court, no matter how I persuade him, he won't listen, isn't this to make matters worse? ”
Lu Xiaoxian nodded and said, "The person who gambled with Brother Ling is named Wei Xuzhong, and he is the deputy who supervises the imperial history Wan Guojun. As far as I know, Wei Xuzhong is an out-and-out gambler, not to mention what he thinks about your Feng family, just as a gambler, it's easy to say anything if he wins, if he loses and loses very badly, he will definitely hold a grudge! ”
Feng Man became more and more frightened, and he pleaded with Lu Xiaoxian, "Young Master Lu, please, help me!" ”
Lu Xiaoxian was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "How can I help you, Miss Feng has exalted me!" ”
Feng Man sighed and said, "Master Lu doesn't need to be modest, I have heard everything you have done in Nanba County, so I begged my father to take me to see you." If you can't help, it is estimated that no one in the whole Panzhou can help me. ”
Lu Xiaoxian didn't expect Feng Man to pay attention to himself very early, he didn't know how to answer, so he simply didn't speak, just stared at Feng Man, he knew that Feng Man must have something to do.
Sure enough, Feng Man continued: "I know you won't stay in Panzhou for a long time, this place is too small to accommodate you, I just ask to save my brother, my father and the Feng family before you leave!" ”
"How can you let me save it?" Lu Xiaoxian asked quietly.
"I don't know how to save it, but I know you must have a way!"
Lu Xiaoxian did not speak.
Feng Man said sadly: "Master Lu, don't worry, I will repay you after the matter is completed!" ”
"Repay?" Playing with Feng Man's words, Lu Xiaoxian couldn't help but feel a little moved, and he changed into a lustful look and teased, "How does Miss Feng plan to repay him?" Do you have to make a promise? ”
Feng Man's face showed a look of determination: "As long as I can save the Feng family, I don't even want my life, what else is there to be reluctant to?" ”
Lu Xiaoxian couldn't help but be moved: It is indeed rare for a woman to have such courage in order to save her family.
Lu Xiaoxian lowered his head and pondered.
Suddenly, with a gust of wind, a dark fragrance came to his face, Lu Xiaoxian raised his head, and a man in a green shirt walked in front of him.
The fragrance is very faint, and there is an indescribable feeling.
It stands to reason that such a scent should not be seen on men.
Lu Xiaoxian felt strange and looked at the visitor curiously.
The man in the green shirt also seemed to feel that someone was watching him, and glanced at Lu Xiaoxian expressionlessly, passing by him.
"Do you smell anything?" Lu Xiaoxian turned his head and asked Feng Man.
"Huh? Nope! Feng Man felt strange, "What's wrong?" ”
"Nothing, just a casual question!" Lu Xiaoxian shook his head slightly.
Could it be that there was something wrong with his nose, Lu Xiaoxian asked Qin Jun again: "Do you smell the fragrance?" ”
Qin Jun shook his head.
It's really alive, Lu Xiaoxian muttered to himself.
"Master Lu, did you agree?" Feng Man looked forward to it.
"I have to think about it, I can't promise you anything now!" Lu Xiaoxian told the truth.
Feng Man had a smile on his face.
Lu Xiaoxian raised his eyebrows: "Why are you so happy?" ”
Feng Man said bluntly: "If you promise me without hesitation, it will be either perfunctory or hasty. And now the prudence proves that you are really going to help me, of course I have to be happy? ”
At this moment, Wei Xuzhong happened to come out of the gambling house. Looking at his dejected appearance, he must have lost it again without asking.
Lu Xiaoxian glanced at Wei Xuzhong and smiled at Feng Man: "You are a smart person, I like to deal with smart people." Don't forget your promise, I will help you solve Brother Ling's troubles first, as for the Feng family's affairs, you can only take one step at a time! If Miss Feng is free tomorrow night, she will come here at this time, and I will give you a satisfactory answer! ”
Feng Man said: "I will come on time, see you or leave!" ”
Lu Xiaoxian nodded and greeted Wei Xuzhong.
