Chapter Twenty-Three: Things Are Getting Bigger
Suddenly, there was a wind of gambling in Chang'an City, which came quickly and the scope of the impact was even more unexpected.
However, most of the characters involved are the descendants of officials and the descendants of wealthy businessmen, and it is even more difficult for ordinary people to join in, and they can't even enter the door.
In just one day, the six people who set off the first wave of this trend washed their hands and disappeared, and the second generation who were cheated began to use the same method to deceive others.
This time, these second-generation people don't have any kindness, as long as they are willing to participate, no matter what your identity is, they will not refuse.
Some people sent it, and some people committed suicide by jumping into the river.
Of course, it was not drowned, but thrown to death......
Cheng Chuliang poked his head out to look at the situation in the yard with some trepidation, and saw that his father was not at home, so he breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
Until now, he didn't know how to face his father, and this time the disaster was too big.
Although Cheng Chuliang wanted to stop doing it for a long time, the people who had already gone up didn't listen to him at all, if it wasn't for Cheng Chuliang's forced departure in the end, I don't know how long this scam would last.
'Bang! ’
The head was hit hard, and Cheng Shiliang grinned in pain.
After "Daddy......" saw clearly the person who attacked him, Cheng Chuliang was instantly deflated.
"How much money did you win?" Cheng Zhijie looked at this unconscious second son viciously, and was so angry that he couldn't hang him up and beat him hard.
"Three...... More than 3,000 ......" Cheng Chuliang covered his head like a mouse seeing a cat, and truthfully said his gains.
It's impossible to fish in troubled waters, don't even think about it.
What kind of temper Cheng Zhijie is, others don't know, isn't it clear that he, who is a son?
Since he directly asked how much money he won, it means that he knows everything, so it is nothing more than killing himself to hide it any longer.
In order to suffer less guilt in the future, Cheng Chuliang directly chose to confess and be lenient, and planned to sit in prison!
Hearing that there were more than 3,000 pieces, Cheng Zhijie's face instantly smiled, and he rubbed Cheng Chuliang's little head with satisfaction: "Not bad!" Not bad! But it's not safe for you to hold so much money for a little doll who hasn't grown all the hair, keep twenty times for yourself, and the other fathers will save it for you, Dad doesn't want to be careless one day, you stupid boy was deceived by King Zhao and took off his pants! ”
"Dad, do you want to leave a hundred rows?" Cheng Chuliang was entangled in his heart, and looked at Cheng Zhijie with extreme longing.
More than 3,000 runs, that's it, but only 20 left for me?
Also, is your son so stupid?
If your son is stupid, now you should cry and go to Your Majesty to complain about the debt!
Cheng Zhijie glared at Cheng Chuliang and said, "It's better for your father to give you two hundred guan, you go out and set up your own door!" ”
"Daddy......"
'Bang! ’
Cheng Zhijie kicked Cheng Chuliang's buttocks, although he didn't use much strength, Cheng Chuliang still flew out directly.
Of course, there are some exaggerated elements.
"Your father and I worked so hard to raise you so much, have you counted how much it has cost you over the years? The first time you see the money, you still dare to bargain, see if Lao Tzu doesn't beat you to death today......"
"Daddy...... Spare your life, Daddy......"
Cheng Zhijie implemented the family law again, and the subordinates retreated three points one after another, and silently lit an incense candle for the second son, Cheng Chuliang.
Poor Cheng Er, the master likes to beat the baby when he is in a good mood, and he still likes to beat the baby when he is in a bad mood, as the second in ten thousand years, Cheng Chuliang, who is still young and does not seek progress, has naturally become the primary target of the master to vent.
Thanks to Cheng Zhijie's good mood, he didn't hit too hard, and after beating for a while, he stopped and sat down.
The little girl who was hiding cleverly brought a cup of tea, and put the old man's customary leather whip on the table, and then disappeared quickly.
Although he looks angry on the surface, Cheng Zhijie's mood is actually beautiful!
"You didn't gamble with Zhuangzi?"
"No, the kid thinks the card isn't big enough and the stakes are too heavy, so he abstains!" Cheng Chuliang just lay on the ground, motionless.
"Really?" Cheng Zhijie frowned!
"Really, is the child the kind of person who can't tell the difference?"
Cheng Zhijie took out a bundle of rope from under the table and threw it directly on Cheng Chuliang's body.
"Tie it up yourself!"
"Huh?"
"You little bastard, you don't even dare to bet on a Zhuangzi, how can you see people when you let Lao Tzu go out in the future? Your father's face has been lost by you, if you don't beat you to death today, you little bastard, Lao Tzu will not be your father! ”
……
Today's Chang'an is particularly lively, sweeping away the sinking of the past.
There were laughing, crying, and committing suicide in the streets, and there were beatings and moans from time to time in the major mansions.
If you only look at the atmosphere in Chang'an today, you won't realize that it is a disaster year!
Before dark, the groaning in the major mansions gradually stopped, except for the groaning of the Suguo Mansion that continued until late at night.
As for the surrounding neighbors, they have long been accustomed to it, after all, beating the baby is Su Guogong's daily life.
In case you haven't heard the sound of beating the baby from Su Guogong's mansion for a while, these kind neighbors may come to visit to see why Su Guogong didn't beat the baby.
Wen Yanbo, as the imperial envoy, naturally had to come forward when such a big thing happened in Beijing.
But judging from the rumors mastered by Yushitai, the spearhead of this incident is directly aimed at the descendants of several powerful people in Beijing.
This gave Wen Yanbo a little headache, if it was one, he would not be afraid, but if there were six in a row, this consequence was not something he could bear.
Helpless, Wen Yanbo had no choice but to set up a table for a banquet in Zuixiangju, the best restaurant in the capital, and invited four important ministers to discuss the matter.
Gao Shilian was demoted out of Beijing because of the private beating in the first year of Zhenguan, and he went back to the capital a few days ago, but he had already rushed back to Yizhou a few days ago.
Chai Shao is now looking for trouble with Liang Shidu in the north,
As soon as a few people saw each other, they knew the purpose of Wen Yanbo's banquet.
"Da Lin, this matter should be a business matter, and the old man will return all the gambling funds tomorrow!" Du Ruhui spoke first.
None of the people here are stupid, if they can't see the problem, then they have really lived in vain for so many years, that is, their identities are here, so Wen Yanbo set up a banquet to ventilate and discuss, if someone else, I am afraid that this impeachment will be directly handed to His Majesty.
"Hey!" Wen Yanbo sighed helplessly, shook his head and said: "Princess, if it's just a matter of money, it's better to say, the news I received is that as of an hour ago, dozens of people have died because of this incident, and countless people have lost their families......
There was a death and it caused such a big storm.
Although they didn't do it directly, it was also because of them that led to this result.
If it is reported like this, His Majesty will inevitably be furious, and the scope of the impact will definitely not be small.
This is what really gives Wen Yanbo a headache, the report is definitely going to be reported, and no one can hide that such a big thing happened.
The only thing Wen Yanbo can do is to ventilate them in advance, so that they can be a little prepared, and he will not offend them because of this.
Cheng Zhijie poured himself a glass of wine and took a sip of it, as if he was not involved.
Seeing that everyone looked at him, Cheng Zhijie didn't blush, and said calmly: "Should you eat, drink, and call him a bird?" Why should I return the money that my son has won by virtue of his ability? If he is not greedy, how can my son win against him? If you want to retreat, you will retreat, the old man will not retreat if he is a son......"
