Chapter 19: Chrysanthemum Essence
Chapter 19 Chrysanthemum Essence
Zhang Yang drank the tea slowly, his eyes lowered, he didn't bother to look at the kneeling two, and said lightly: "Say, how much benefit fee did you two charge from the Changle Gang?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the two people on the ground trembled.
"Heaven and earth are proof, the sun and the moon can be seen, the three generations of my ancestors and grandchildren are all pro-soldiers of the British government, how dare you betray the second little grandfather!" Wangcai knelt down and crawled in front of Zhang Yang, holding his master's leg and howling.
Zhang Yang raised his foot and kicked him away, for fear that he would rub his snot on his leg.
Zhaocai's face turned white, and he swore to the sky: "I swear to the sky that if I dare to betray the British government in this life, I will be thundered by the sky, and I will not die well." ”
The cruel words have come to this extent, and the two of them must not dare to make ghosts behind their backs.
First, the wine made people dizzy, and then the beauty blew the wind on the side, winning first and then losing. If the user loses all the competitiveness and wants to turn it over, just sign an IOU. This routine is obviously that the Changle Gang has set up a bureau waiting for the second young grandfather of the British Mansion to take the bait. If you don't believe it, there will be no intermediary secretly arranging to add fuel to the fire, earn kickbacks and get benefits.
Zhang Yang tapped his fingers on the table, again and again, his eyes narrowed slightly, faintly revealing killing intent, "Master, I just want to know, who came up with the idea to go to the gambling house of the Changle Gang to play?" ”
After listening to Zhang Yang's words, the two thought about it carefully, first remembered something, glanced at each other, and stopped talking.
Zhang Yang had a calm face and ordered: "Say! ”
Seeing Zhang Yang's unhappy face, on the verge of frenzy, Wangcai recalled, while saying: "At first, the second little grandfather and a group of noble sons gathered together to drink and have fun, and in the midst of chatting, they mentioned that the women they met recently were not gold, silver and jewelry, but silk and satin, which was very boring. ”
Su Gongzi said, that may not be. I heard that there is a hundred-year-old chrysanthemum in the Zhou house in Yunli Lane, in previous years the autumn is a white chrysanthemum, this year suddenly bloomed a yellow chrysanthemum, fat and huge, the fine petals faintly transparent golden light, looking at the past at night, shining. Last month, when the people of the Zhou family got up at night, they could always see a woman in yellow dancing under the moonlight. ”
Su Gongzi is Su Cheng, the only son of Su Mian, the left attendant of the ministry.
When it comes to gossip, Wangcai said eloquently, "Su Gongzi said, presumably it is the chrysanthemum that has absorbed the essence of heaven and earth, the aura of the sun and the moon for a hundred years, and cultivated into a refinement." ”
Su Cheng, this kid has read his brain badly, and he has made up a story to fool people!
Zhang Yang snorted coldly from his nose and said, "The master asked you how to get to the gambling house, what kind of chrysanthemum are you talking about here!" ”
Wangcai raised his eyes in surprise and glanced at his master, and said aggrievedly: "Second little master, have you forgotten?" It's the gambling house where this chrysanthemum essence took the second little grandfather to go. ”
Zhang Yang's face became more and more gloomy, and he held his forehead and said, "The young master was crazy before, and I can't remember a lot of things clearly, you go on." ”
"That night, the second little grandfather drank too much, and in the middle of the night, he took me and Zhaocai to climb the courtyard wall of the Zhou house, saying that he would meet the chrysanthemum fairy for a while."
Zhaocai continued: "Coincidentally, as soon as I arrived at Zhou's house, I faintly heard the laughter of a woman in the wall. When we took the second master to the wall, there was no one.
It's just that someone pretended to be a ghost, so he fooled the second little grandfather who had never seen the world.
Hearing this, Zhang Yang lost patience, "The so-called goblins, ghosts and gods are just people with ulterior motives to achieve their goals, and they are all fake." ”
"No, no, no," Wangcai couldn't help but say, "The woman in yellow is smart, like a fairy in a painting." Every time it appears, it is surrounded by yellow fluorescence, and it is by no means extraordinary. ”
Zhaocai came in and said with a sincere face: "Second little grandfather, we have seen it with our own eyes, and there is no lie. ”
Zhang Yang sneered, "If you want to have fluorescence on your body, there are ways." You can't see through the game set up by others, it's because you two are short-sighted. ”
The two glanced at each other and didn't dare to pick up.
Zhang Yang had a gloomy face and said, "Later, the woman in yellow took the initiative to appear and led us to the gambling house of the Changle Gang. ”
The two nodded again and again, "The woman in yellow said that there was a place that was very interesting, so she took us on the gambling boat of the Changle Gang. "Exactly."
Zhang Yang's face was so gloomy that he was about to drip ink, he gritted his teeth, and said hatefully: "You wait, as long as this woman is not dead, one day, the master will find her, and then the master will skin her and draw her tendons, and the master will see if she is a human or a demon." ”
Wangcai's expression was shocked, and he said stubbornly: "Second little master, the Changle Gang restricts us to pay off the debts in three days, otherwise we will go to the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Military to sue the second master." ”
is a good Changle Gang, and he also knows the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army, so it can be seen that it is not an ordinary gang composed of ruffians and hooligans, and there must be court forces behind him as backers to guide behind the scenes.
The Shangzhong Military Governor's Mansion filed a complaint, which was to cut off Zhang Yang's future.
The commander of the Jingxi Defense Battalion was a position arranged by the emperor for Zhang Yang in the face of the British duke, and in normal times, Zhang Yang didn't care too much. But if you are really taken off because of gambling debts, how will you mix it up in the future? To put it mildly, with such a political stain, don't think about raising your head for the rest of your life.
Although Zhang Yang's mind is full of making money and enjoying life, he has never thought of pursuing anything in his career, but being an official and a half-time job will be of great help to him in the future to make money in business.
What's more, if the British public Zhang Lun knew that Zhang Yang was gambling abroad and owed a lot of debts, Zhang Yang's happy and free days would have come to an end.
After a moment of silence, Zhang Yang didn't know what he remembered, and said playfully: "Su Cheng, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person." ”
After listening to Zhang Yang's words, Wangcai thought about it carefully, and suddenly realized: "The small gathering that night was initiated by Su Gongzi. ”
"That's right. Let's go, go find Mr. Su. ”
Speaking of which, this Su Cheng originally behaved in a proper manner, and he was angry with his book, but he was distorted by Zhang Yang.
Seeing that Su Cheng was polite and innocent, Zhang Yang deliberately pulled him into Chunfang Building, "The son of the servant of the Ministry of Officials, he has not yet been crowned, is it like saying it?" I will give you a long insight tonight. Without saying anything, he dragged him straight to Oiran's house.
That night in Chunfang Building, the attention of all the sons was on the amorous Oiran, pushing the cup and changing the lamp, so happy. Only Su Cheng was the first time to go to this kind of place, and he was uncomfortable, neither sitting nor standing.
That Yuebai's appearance is not good enough, and her figure is not good enough, anyway, she is the kind that Zhang Yang can't look down on, but she has a gentle temperament and a clear mind, seeing that Su Cheng is at a loss, she greeted her obediently, and her lips opened lightly: "Childe's face is born, but it is the first time to come back?" ”
Su Cheng turned his head and crashed into a pair of rippling autumn eyes, losing his soul on the spot.
Yuebai smiled at him and bent his eyes, and there was a charm between his eyebrows, "The slave's name is Yuebai." ”
Su Chengwen replied crepe: "The east ship and the west boat are silent, only the autumn moon in the heart of the river is white." Good name. ”
"Childe, what about you?"
"Su Cheng."
