Chapter 18 Indebtedness
Chapter 18 Debts
Zhang Yang was startled, and when he looked down, Princess Rongxiang originally had a white mutton fat jade pendant with a rising texture hanging on her waist, and a phoenix with wings spread and flying high was carved on it, and the jade pendant disappeared at this moment.
"It's him!" Chang Wei's eyes were sharp, and at a glance, he saw that the man not far away glanced at Princess Rongxiang nervously, turned around and ran out.
The newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, and Princess Rongxiang yelled at the thief: "Return my jade pendant!" ”
The thief is very ghostly, and deliberately runs to the crowded downtown to blend in with the flow of people.
Princess Rongxiang was so anxious that she stomped her feet, "That's the jade pendant left to me by the queen mother." ”
"The princess is not in a hurry, I will chase him." After speaking, Chang Wei's figure swept and rushed out.
With his skills, the mere hairy thief is definitely not his opponent.
Zhang Yang had no intention of being a hero in front of Princess Rongxiang, and with a look, Wangcai beside him chased after him.
The two of them waited on the side of the road, and a fresh smell of broth wafted in, hooking the greedy worms in people's stomachs in the late autumn night
Zhang Yang's eyes swept to a noodle restaurant not far away.
"Are you hungry?"
The princess shook her head, her mind was on Yu Pei, how could she be in the mood to eat.
"Don't worry, Chang Wei will definitely get your jade pendant back." Zhang Yang pulled her sleeve and entered the noodle restaurant, "Come out for a long time, you must be hungry, eat a bowl of noodles first." ”
The noodle shop is small, but it's quite clean. There is a wooden signboard hanging on the door of the store, on which are written four large characters "Customers are like clouds".
As soon as I entered the door, a guy greeted me warmly, "What are you two eating?" ”
"Two bowls of signature noodles."
Princess Rongxiang sat down reluctantly, poking out her neck from time to time to see if Chang Wei had returned.
The man brought the noodles up. The lamb is thinly sliced and spread on top, the green water celery, and the delicate noodles are rolled in the thick and whitish bone broth, which makes people appetize when they look at it.
Princess Rongxiang suddenly felt hungry.
"What noodles?"
The guy replied, "Dalian noodles." ”
Zhang Yang said in a low voice: "The soup base boiled with fish bones and pork bones, you can taste it and make sure you like it." ”
Princess Rongxiang took a sip of soup with a spoon, and her bones were crispy.
Zhang Yang smiled: "You taste the noodles, they are hand-pressed." ”
The princess put it in her mouth, and the noodles were firm and delicious.
"How often do you come to this shop?"
Zhang Yang shook his head, "First time." In his previous life, he had no money, and he ate noodles in Shaxian International and Lanzhou ramen all the year round, but now he has become a rich second generation, how can he still go to the street to eat noodles.
The princess looked up at him: "How do you know that this noodle is delicious?" ”
"When you see the people coming and going in the store and the business is booming, you know that it tastes good."
The princess ate with great joy, holding a bowl of the sea, and drank all the noodle soup.
The undisguised eating appearance makes Zhang Yang like it very much, and he is most afraid of those Miss Jiao who claims that she can't eat more to lose weight before she moves her chopsticks.
Zhang Yang was surprised, "I didn't expect you to be so thin and so able to eat." ”
Princess Rongxiang's eyes smiled into two crescents, "It's so fragrant, I want to have another bowl." ”
But was stopped by Zhang Yang, "I eat too much, and I can't sleep well at night." ”
As the two were talking, a sturdy figure flashed in from outside the door, it was Chang Wei.
He was drenched, dripping with water, and with aquatic plants hanging from his shoulders, as if he had gone down to the river to touch a fish.
Princess Rongxiang's eyes widened in surprise, "Chang Wei, who are you?" ”
Chang Wei took out the white jade pendant with an expressionless face and handed it over, "The jade pendant has been recovered." ”
"You fell into the river?"
"That thief is very hateful, and deliberately threw the jade pendant into the river so that he could get out." Looking at Chang Wei's gritted teeth, one day in the future, let him catch the thief, peel his skin, and pull his tendons.
Zhang Yang asked puzzledly, "Wangcai didn't come back with you?" ”
"He's gone after the thief."
I've finished eating all the noodles and haven't come back yet? Could it be that the thief was caught? This unsuccessful guy, the more Zhang Yang thought about it, the more angry he became.
In order to go into the water to find the jade pendant, Chang Wei was wet, and when the cold night breeze blew, his face was whiter than paper. Princess Rongxiang couldn't help it, and hurried back to the palace with him.
Before leaving, the princess turned around and smiled at Zhang Yangyanran, "I'm very happy tonight, and I'll come to you next time." With a wave of his hand, he got into the carriage.
The smile is bright and moving.
However, Princess Rongxiang, who looks mediocre, is not a flamboyant dish.
Zhang Yang is a layman who is greedy for beauty.
In his previous life, he had no money and no power, and he loved beauties.
Now, he has the backing of the British government, and he can act recklessly. He doesn't care whether he was born noble, whether his temperament is gentle, whether his family is strong, he just wants to spend his life with ice muscles and jade bones, and graceful beauties.
In the middle of the night, Wangcai finally returned, his eyes were blue, his nose was bleeding, the corners of his mouth were injured, and his clothes were messy, as if he had been caught and beaten by fat.
Seeing this, Zhaocai hated and said: "What a boldness! Even our people from the British government dare to do it! ”
Wangcai sat on the chair weakly, and said weakly: "It's from the Changle Gang." ”
Hearing the three words of the Black Dragon Gang, Zhaocai's face instantly dimmed, "What are they arresting you for?" ”
"They asked me to send a message, the second little grandfather owes them a debt, and it is time to pay it back. If you don't pay it back, it will make us look good. ”
The next morning, as soon as Zhang Yang got up, he saw the two of them entering the door and knelt on the ground.
"What's the trouble?" Instinctively, Zhang Yang knew that nothing good was going on.
Zhaocai said in a low voice: "Second little grandfather, do you remember?" Last month, we lost money in gambling in Changle Gang and owed a debt. ”
Wangcai cried and said with a sad face: "Yesterday, the people of the Changle Gang spoke, and within three days, if they don't pay off their gambling debts, they will take the IOU signed by the master to the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army to complain!" ”
The Governor's Office of the Chinese Army complained, which meant the end of Zhang Yang's career, although he didn't care about the position of commander of the Jingxi Defense Battalion, but it was also an official position, and he really lost it, and the loss was great.
Zhang Yang held his forehead and asked, "A few hundred yuan, just pay it back." ”
Zhaocai and Wangcai glanced at each other, is the second little grandfather in a hurry? Where's a few hundred dollars?
Seeing that the two of them wanted to talk and stopped, they raised their faces, "If you have something to say, say it quickly, and if you have a fart, let it go!" ”
Wangcai said cautiously: "Second little master, you are mistaken, we owe Changle Gang five thousand pieces of silver. ”
5,000 yuan, converted into RMB, that's 8 million!
I'll go, how can this loser owe eight million.
How could anyone be so stupid and lose 5,000 guan?
The memory in Zhang Yang's mind slowly recovered, but it was only three or five nights in the casino of the Changle Gang, playing dice. Beauty is in the arms, at first it is to win money, and at the instigation of the beauty, the more you play, the bigger it gets.
Finally, I lost all the hundreds of pipes of money I had on my body, my eyes were red, and I didn't even have my brains. The beauty in his arms encouraged him, and it was easy to turn over the book, as long as he signed and pressed a handprint, the Changle Gang could borrow debts.
As he continued playing, the beauty was gone, and a group of fierce men appeared and told him that he owed five thousand dollars.
Now that I think about it, in the eyes of the Changle Gang, the second little grandfather of the British Mansion is a fat sheep.
