Qi Hongxin also played chess seriously, and asked Mu Sheng: "Lord Mu, do you know Lord Wang of the household department?" ”

Mu Sheng nodded: "The household department is the emperor's henchman, although the lower official has not been an official in the court for a long time, but the emperor's henchman and subordinate officials always know each other." ”

Qi Hongxin continued: "Then Lord Mu thinks, if this king pulls Lord Wang to our side, what are the chances?" ”

Mu Sheng said unceremoniously: "I don't think it's possible, the reason why the emperor put Lord Wang in the household department is not because of how capable Lord Wang is, but because he is loyal enough, so it is almost impossible to win him over." ”

Qi Hongxin also smiled: "This king naturally knows, because this king knows, the civil and military officials also know, and the father knows even more, so as long as this king pulls this person into the camp of this king, it will be much more convenient in the future, this is a good chess." ”

Mu Sheng saw Qi Hongxin's confident appearance and said, "Does the prince have any plans?" It will take some effort to deal with this Lord Wang, and it is likely that stealing chickens will not lead to rice. ”

Qi Hongxin smiled and said: "This Lord Wang is naturally a hard bone, but this Lord Wang is, it doesn't mean that this Wang family is." ”

Mu Sheng asked suspiciously, "What does this mean, Lord Wang?" ”

Qi Hongxin took out a piece of letter paper from his arms and showed it to Mu Sheng, Mu Sheng smiled and understood after reading it, and asked, "Where is the progress of things now?" The prince is sure, does he need help from the lower officials? ”

Qi Hongxin said with a smile: "Master Mu, you lost." ”

Mu Sheng looked down at his chess, it turned out that he had long been surrounded by sunspots, Mu Sheng shook his head and said: "Lord Wang, you are too stingy, and Xiaguan will win a few of your pieces, you are going to eat all Xiaguan's chess pieces." ”

Qi Hongxin stood up and said, "Let's go." ”

Mu Sheng was also behind him, and Qi Hongxin said softly: "The fish has already taken the bait." ”

Mu Sheng understood Qi Hongxin's meaning, and left directly from the gate of the Guogong Mansion, and Qi Hongxin also returned to King Wen's Mansion from the back of the Guogong Mansion.

Li Wen here, after noon the next day, Wang Hao came again, he couldn't wait to see this Li family's mastery, the sooner the loopholes over there were filled, the better, otherwise if someone found out, he would die.

So when he asked Li Wen to go to the 'Holy Hand' again, Li Wen also readily agreed, and a group of several people, two people, and a carriage set off towards the 'Holy Hand'.

Soon after, the carriage stopped, Wang Hao walked out in high spirits, and helped Li Wen out of the carriage, this time, because of the eye-catching mask on Li Wen's face and his wonderful performance last time, he got out of the carriage.

The people who had watched the whole process that day immediately gathered around, and when the two of them walked towards the 'holy hand', this group of people who wanted to watch the play also went with them, such a large group of people, the momentum was naturally not small.

So as soon as a few people entered, they were recognized, and the opener saw the man who won his seven handfuls from afar, and these days, he was also checking the identity of this person, not for anything else, just because he thought it was interesting, since he opened here, there were few opponents, and now he finally met such an interesting person, of course he has to know himself and the other.

It's a pity that since he heard that he was taken away by Wang Gongzi, he didn't find out about this person, he thought that he had left the capital, and now, the person was finally waited, and the opener was still very happy.

So he came down to greet him in person, the two of them stood face to face, there was no smell of gunpowder, only a feeling of heroic sympathy, the two did not talk much, the opening hand made a gesture of please, and Li Wen was not polite, and sat directly at the main table.

The opener grabbed the plug cup and shook it, and asked with a smile: "This son, how many chips did you bring today?" ”

Li Wen smiled, took out the silver ingot from his arms last time, and the opener laughed when he saw it, and kept sighing: "Interesting, interesting, this son, how do you want to bet this time?" And what is the stake? Let's start with it, this time I don't want these few waiters. ”

Li Wen also smiled: "I won five games in a row, you give me 100,000 taels of silver, I want cash, if I lose, I will keep myself here, do you think?" ”

The opener smiled: "Refreshing people, so be it, let's start." ”

The opener kept shaking the stopper, and after shaking it for a while, it snapped on the table, because of the last time he gambled ten small things, Li Wen was very famous in the 'holy hand', so at this time, several people were surrounded by a circle of people.

Not only did the opener look forward to Li Wen's answer, but this group of people was even more expectant, only to hear Li Wen say lightly: "Big"

The opener asked again: "Are you sure about this son?" If you want to regret it, I'm giving you a chance. ”

Li Wen said calmly: "Thank you, but don't need it, I'll press it down." ”

The opener did not hesitate, and directly opened the plug cup to take a look, four, five, five, five.

The crowd erupted in cheers, and the opener continued to put the three stoppers into the plug cup without hurry, continued to shake them non-stop, and then "snapped" and buckled the stoppers on the table.

The opener then asked, "Guess what these boys are this time?" ”

Li Wen said calmly: "I guess it's small, if I don't change it, you can open it directly." ”

The opener directly opened the plug cup and looked at three, two, four small.

Pair two in a row, and the applause of the people watching the play in the crowd became even more enthusiastic, and they kept praising and praising them: "Awesome, really a master." ”

The opener continued to unhurriedly put the plug in, and then shook it, this time for a longer time, and it took about two minutes to stop before stopping, and with a "snap", the plug cup was buckled on the table again.

The opener continued to ask: "This son, what are you betting on this time?" ”

Li Wen was still as calm, without sorrow or joy as if everything was as he expected, "I guess it's small." ”

The opening hand is the same, not dragging the mud and water directly to open the plug cup, everyone looks, and it is really small.

The opening hand continued to shake, and in the fourth, Li Wen guessed correctly again.

At this time, the opener's hand was a little shaky, and it took several times to put three stoppers in, and this time it was longer when it was shaken, and then there was a "snap" sound, and the stopper was buckled on the table, and the opener continued to ask: "This son, what do you guess this time?" ”

Li Wen was as simple as drinking water, and said directly, "I guess it's big." ”

The opening hand said: "This son, you have already won four hands in the front, are you sure you won't change?" If you lose the last hand, you will not have 100,000 taels of silver, and the people will also belong to our 'holy hand'. ”

Li Wen still did not hesitate, and said directly: "I will not change." ”

The opener was about to say a few more words, but the onlookers stopped and said, "I said the opener, what's the matter with you?" People have said that they will not change, and you keep asking him, do you want to cheat if you can't afford to lose? ”

The opener laughed and said, "How come, since this son doesn't change, then we'll open it." ”

After the opener finished speaking, his hand continued to hold the stopper, uncovering the plug cup little by little, and when the stopper was completely visible, he saw that the points on it were five, five, six.

Immediately, the cold sweat on the hands of the opening hand came down, and a burst of cheers broke out in the crowd.

Wang Hao was even more stunned, and he also had fun together, and said to Li Wen: "Brother Li, did you hear, you won, 100,000 silver, that's 100,000 silver." ”

The opener wiped the sweat on his head, but Li Wen said: "Banker, I won, this 100,000 silver..."

The opening hand sneered: "100,000 silver to prepare now, we" holy hand "is the first gambling visit in the capital, this money is trivial, but this son, if you come to our 'holy hand' to the main card, the master said, you can double the silver." ”

Li Wen said: "I'm sorry, thank you for the invitation, but I'm just a charlatan, I like to wander around, I understand your kindness, and I'll leave when I get the money." ”

After a while, there were people from the 'Holy Hand', holding six large boxes of silver, Wang Hao's eyes lit up when he saw the white silver, and Li Wen's subordinates took a box of silver, and a group of people walked out of the 'Holy Hand'.

After getting into the carriage, Wang Hao asked, "Brother Li, since you are so confident in yourself, why don't you ask for more silver?" ”

Li Wen said: "These 100,000 taels are just a drop in the bucket for the 'Holy Hand', but if I ask for more, then we may not be able to leave." ”

Wang Hao nodded, and then asked: "Then the opener asked you to stay here, and doubled you, why didn't you stay?" ”

Li Wen smiled and said: "Brother Wang, I came to this capital to pass by, and I will leave the capital in two days, and I will not stay anywhere." ”

Wang Hao was a little anxious: "Brother Li, why don't you stay here for two more days?" Is the capital bad? Or am I not being well entertained? ”

Li Wen smiled and said: "Brother Wang, you are very good to me, but the capital is not my home, I still like to live a wandering life." ”

Wang Hao stopped talking, looking at the 100,000 taels of silver on the carriage, a greedy look flashed on Wang Hao's face.

A few people returned to the small courtyard, Wang Hao was still a little unhappy, he hadn't persuaded Li Wen to hand over his family's mastery to himself, why did he have to leave?

Li Wen could see that Wang Hao was unhappy, so he said, "Brother Wang, I know, you want to learn from my Li family's mastery, right?" ”

As soon as Wang Hao saw this Li Wen, a smile immediately appeared on his face, and he said: "Brother Li, although I know that this is not appropriate, but I really want to learn, I think Brother Li's mastery is too powerful." ”

Li Wen shook his head and said: "It's a pity, it's not that I don't teach Brother Li, but that the ancestors of my Li family have family rules, and this master's family can only be passed on to anyone else in the Li family's family, otherwise I will teach Brother Wang." ”

Wang Hao's face instantly became ugly, and Li Wen continued: "Brother Wang, I have decided to leave the capital the day after tomorrow and be taken care of by Brother Wang. ”
