Several fully loaded carriages drove out of the back street of Ningrong, approached the imperial city, and stopped outside the Xi'an Gate.

The imperial city is important, and the common people are not allowed to pass at will.

The eldest prince has long been an adult and has been knighted. His title is King Fukang.

Fukang Wangfu Governor Shi sat on his horse, looking at the convoy slowly driving in front of him, his eyes lit up.

Next to him, a white-faced scholar smiled and said: "Lord Changshi, look, I said a long time ago, how can a small family of the Xue family dare to resist His Highness?" After a few words of intimidation this morning, they obediently sent the silver over, hehehe......"

Changshi also smiled and said: "Brother Chu is talented, he has made such a great contribution this time, His Royal Highness will definitely reuse Brother Chu." ”

"Hahaha, where, I still need a lot of advice from Master Changshi in the future."

"Haha, it's easy to say."

The people of the Great Prince's Mansion were chatting and laughing outside the gate of Xi'an, and they didn't feel that what they were doing was no different from Caokou.

Fifty paces away from the Xi'an Gate, an unremarkable carriage stopped there, and a gloomy face appeared in the window.

If King Fukang Changshi saw it, he would definitely be surprised.

This person has a purple robe and jade belt, embroidered with a red unicorn, and is the color of the second-class officials of the imperial court.

The old housekeeper of the Xue family led people to drive the convoy to Xi'an, although he was very resentful of these people in front of him, but he didn't show any abnormality, just asked the leader to check the number.

The leader got off the horse with a smile, came to a carriage, uncovered the box, looked at it, and came down with a very satisfied expression, and said, "You don't need to look at the back, and you don't dare to play tricks." ”

Then he ordered the men he had brought with him to escort the carriage away.

All the way back to the Great Prince's Mansion without accidents, the Great Prince Jing Xiu happily went out of the inner house when he heard the news, came to the front yard, looked at the silver in the courtyard, he smiled from ear to ear, and said to a young man on the side: "Haha, before Wu Gongzi said that the Xue family was rich, this king still didn't believe it, but now it seems to be true, in one day, they can raise 100,000 taels of silver, tsk, if this king gives him a few more days of time limit, ask him for two or three hundred thousand taels, don't they also take it out?" ”

Wu Gongzi, Wu Fan.

Wu Fan was not surprised when he heard the eldest prince's greedy words, but said with a smile: "There are two or three orphans and widows in their family, as long as His Royal Highness has a heart, he will naturally have a chance in the future, but he is not in a hurry." ”

"Hahaha, that's what I said. Well, this time Wu Gongzi has made meritorious contributions to this king and made great contributions, how can this king not be rewarded?

Say, all the singers in the palace, which one you like, this king will reward you directly. ”

Hearing that the eldest prince would also let him choose, Wu Fan felt uncomfortable in his heart, but he didn't dare to disobey the words of the eldest prince, because he smiled and said: "Your Royal Highness is very loving, I don't dare to refuse, I think that Miss Xia Xiang is good." ”

Wu Fan also knew the character of the eldest prince, if he didn't choose, the eldest prince would think that he didn't give face, so he only chose a dancing girl who was not too favored by the eldest prince.

"Okay, Wu Gongzi has a good eye, Xia Xiang has no other skills, but her ability to make Xiao with one hand has already been superb, haha she will be yours in the future."

Wu Fan's newcomer is not able to adapt to the scale and directness of the eldest prince, so he is a little embarrassed, glanced at the people around him who are accustomed to it, bowed down and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your generous gift." ”

The eldest prince laughed for a while, and then said to the people around him: "Those who have made meritorious contributions this time will be rewarded." ”

The ministers and staff naturally congratulated one after another.

The eldest prince walked forward again, looked at the silver and silver tickets in more than ten boxes, and the corners of his mouth grinned.

His royal salary is only 5,000 taels of silver a year, 3,000 stone tribute rice, plus the output of various imperial villages, etc., at most 20,000 taels of silver a year, how can this be the cost of his palace for a year?

So naturally, he would find a way to get some silver everywhere.

I didn't expect it to be so simple this time, I could easily get 100,000, and the palace treasury was filled a lot at once.

It just so happened that the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu said that there are many exotic women in the Western Regions, and next time he asks him to buy more than 100 at a time for this king to come back and try it, wouldn't it be a beautiful thing?

Thinking of this, the eldest prince was really not in a good mood, and said: "In this way, that kid of the Xue family, this king is really reluctant to kill, or this king will let him go this time, and ask him to pay tribute to this king every year in the future, what do you say." ”

Naturally, everyone else patted on the back and said that the eldest prince was wise.

Wu Fan didn't want to let Xue Pan go so easily, he swore in Xiyuan that he would make Xue Pan lose his fortune and disperse his family!

He always remembered the humiliation that kid had given him, and of course, Jia Baoyu......

However, Jia Baoyu is now in the middle of the day, and he has no way to deal with it, so he can only get soft persimmons first.

"Your Highness doesn't know, Xue Pan's kid is Jia Baoyu's dog-legged cousin, if His Highness lets him go this time, I'm afraid he will be difficult to obey His Highness's orders in the future.

Jia Baoyu is the loyal lackey of the second prince! ”

The eldest prince's face was displeased, and he thought for a while: "But after all, this king took the Xue family's silver, if he kills Xue Pan again, wouldn't it seem very dishonest?" ”

Do you still have integrity?

Wu Fan's heart was tired.

"Besides, if Xue Pan dies, the Xue family will definitely hold a grudge, and I'm afraid they won't be able to get the silver in the future."

That's right, in line with your style, Your Highness.

"Since His Royal Highness still wants the Xue family's silver, he can not kill Xue Pan for the time being, sentence him to exile for 3,000 li first, let him suffer a little first, and then get him back, hehe, in the middle, isn't His Highness just right to get a filial piety of the Xue family?"

When the eldest prince heard this, he immediately patted Wu Fan's shoulder twice, and laughed: "This plan is very good!" ”

……

Zhao San Fat Man was a slave of the Wu family, and later served as the eldest young master Wu Fan's long-term follower. However, Young Master Wu has a lot of followers, but he is not the one who is most valued.

He doesn't have any big hobbies, except for flattering his young master to get some benefits, and his favorite thing is gambling money.

Zhoufa Casino is his favorite gambling house.

I don't know why, but my luck is very good, what to play, what to lose. Even what he usually thinks is the easiest bet on the big one, he has lost more than a dozen in a row, buying small and opening big, buying big and opening small......

Damn, the fat man Zhao San, who doesn't believe in evil, doesn't remember how many times he went to the counter on credit. Fortunately, it seems that the head of the casino finally knows how powerful his Wu family is, and he wants to give as much as he wants, and he is not afraid that he will not be able to pay him back, which makes him proud at the same time, but also let go of his hands and feet, and the gambling money is getting bigger and bigger, and he is bound to turn over in one fell swoop.

I've won a few times in between.

But gambling is like this, and it can make people fall into the mud unconsciously.

One afternoon, he suddenly came back to his senses, and found that he had lost thousands of taels of silver.

God, he is an inferior slave of the Wu family, where can he have so much silver?

He has been in the gambling house all the year round, so he naturally knows that the money owed to the gambling house will not be what will happen......

What should I do, do I borrow from the house? Impossible, with the character of the eldest prince, if he knew that he had done such a stupid thing, the first thing he would definitely do was to kick himself out of the house!

"What a broken gambling house, deliberately trick people, what to play and what to lose, Lao Tzu has been blocked for more than ten years, I have never seen such an outrageous one, you must be out of a thousand, I want to test the color!"

In a panic, Zhao San Fat Man thought of the possibility that he might be pitted.

The person sitting in the village sneered, and was about to beckon to help him come up, at this time, an inconspicuous person next to him said: "Give him a test." ”

The dealer didn't say anything, and took out the dice in the bowl and gave it to him.

Zhao San Fat Man was worried in his heart, although he often gambled, but where did he know how many casino doorways, but I heard that people said that mercury can be added to the dice to achieve the purpose of pitting people, so he wanted to come to the hammer and smash the dice.

Sadly, there are no anomalies.

Looking at the cold faces around him, Zhao San couldn't be fat, and he was about to leave in frustration.

was stopped by the people in the casino.

The head of the block took out his previous IOU and mortgage token, and said: "I won't bother with you about questioning my Zhoufa casino for no reason before, but Zhao Sanlang didn't forget, plus today, you have already owed 5,430 taels of silver in my Zhoufa casino, and the interest money is 350 taels, a total of 5,780 taels of silver, give the money." ”

Zhao San said angrily: "Except for today, I only owe you a total of dozens of taels of silver, where did I get the three hundred and fifty taels of silver?" ”

"Hmph, don't you know the rules of the gambling house, you borrowed more than 5,000 taels of silver today, if you come back today, we will only count your profit for one day, if you can't pay it back today, then it's not more than 300 taels!

However, looking at Zhao Sanlang's appearance, it doesn't look like he can afford to pay back the silver, so if you can't take out the silver today, don't think about leaving half a step. ”

The people around you are used to seeing such things, and they are willing to gamble and lose, and you want to borrow money from the gambling house, who is to blame?

Therefore, they all looked at it like a joke.

"I'm from the Wu family...... "Zhao San's fat man Nuo Nuo said.

"Hmph, when you come to me, I will take care of your five families and eight families, and I can't take out the silver, even if the king of heaven and Lao Tzu comes, it's not easy to do it.

Brothers, invite him to eat something good later! ”

The big block sneered.
