132, group beating
After the man at the head spoke, the other kneeling people also followed and rushed to speak, not only letting Xu Han call the shots, but also saying that since the Xinglin Gambling House was cheating and defrauding them of their money, it should be returned and so on.
The people kneeling on the ground in front of the palace gate, the black heads, and the noisy sound, listened to it from a distance.
Xu Han didn't let them stop, just stood on the steps with his hands behind his back, watching them kowtow, justify, ask for help, and so on.
When everyone said that their mouths were dry and they couldn't continue, they said coldly,
"Since you have said this, then I will ask you, what is deception?"
"Let me ask you again, if the gambling house hadn't cheated, would you have won?"
A small number of the two hundred noisy black-eyed chicken-like men had hesitation on their faces, and most of the rest nodded their heads in agreement, and they could win.
In this world, no one who gambles is rushing to lose, thinking that he will definitely win, he will definitely win, he can win no matter what.
If you lose this one, you can win it back the next one, and if you lose today, you may be able to win it back tomorrow.
Can't win it back tomorrow? It doesn't matter, maybe it's bad luck, but tomorrow you can definitely win.
In this way, the cycle continues, even if it is a family fortune, it will change hands.
Xu Han beckoned to Wei Ting on the side, and whispered a few words in his ear, Wei Ting looked at Xu Han in disbelief, and then walked away.
Xu Mian stood behind Xu Han, looked at the kneeling men below, shook his head and sighed in his heart, it was really hopeless.
Gambling is really not a good thing.
Xu Han was on the steps, staring at the people below, pacing,
"Since you all say you can win, but what does the gambling house do? Sending you money?
She sneered twice, "Children know that there is no wealth that falls from the sky, but you can't understand it?" Can't figure it out? β
"Is there any fraud in the gambling house, as long as you are stained with gambling words, there is only one word! Lose! β
"From ancient times to the present, let me ask, which dynasty and generation have you heard of that there were gamblers who won all the money in the gambling house and let the gambling house go bankrupt?"
"No!"
"Now, no matter why you are or who you are instructed to come to the king's house to make trouble, this king will not hold you accountable for the uproar."
"The gambling house said that it is impossible to return the confiscated money to you, it is all dirty and will be confiscated, so you will disperse as soon as possible."
The men kneeling at the bottom, hearing this, their faces changed, and some of them flinched a little, but a few of them continued without fear of death,
"That being said, but if the gambling house hadn't cheated, maybe we wouldn't have lost so much, and we wouldn't have lost the whole family property.
Confiscate? If we don't accept it, maybe it will fatten the little prince's own pocket. β
The first few people in the back catered to the man who spoke, and it was as if Xu Han would not give up if he did not agree to return the money.
Xu Han just glanced at the man who spoke, didn't say anything, and sat on the chair that the porter had just brought out.
Wei Ting, who had left earlier, went and returned, only to see a tray in his hand, and then looked, there were a lot of gambling equipment on the tray......
Not only the men who knelt down to make trouble were stunned, but also the onlookers.
There is one who does not see, and asks the sharp-eyed one in the back,
"What's out? What's out? Is it the little prince who wants to return the money to these people? β
The questioner was thinking in his heart, once he really returned the money, could he go and ask for the money he lost in the gambling house in the city a few days ago?
"What kind of money, it's gambling equipment."
The crowd was in an uproar.
I don't understand why Xu Han took out the gambling equipment.
I saw that another wooden table was moved out of it, Xu Han motioned to Wei Ting to put the gambling equipment up, she stood up and walked to the table, pointed to the gambling equipment above, and said,
"Just now, most people think that once the gambling house is not cheating, then maybe you can win, and if you win, the gambling house will go out of business."
"Well, since you are so good at gambling, today, we might as well have a game, you people, pick out what you think is the best gambling skill, come and gamble with this king."
"There are several gambling equipment here, and there are countless methods, what you want to bet on, choose yourself, and I will accompany you."
"If you want to gamble, you have to have a lottery, this king promises you, as long as your people win me three times in a row, how much you lose, how much you accompany, this king will compensate you with money, do you dare?"
The people kneeling down looked at each other, not understanding what Xu Han's operation was.
Just now, it seems that Yan Yan hates gambling this kind of thing, and he even said that he will not return the money to them.
They, in fact, are not really here for money.
But now, if there is really such a fortune waiting in front of you, if you don't give it a try, you feel that it is too much of a loss.
What's more, one or two hundred people, you can't even play a prince, right?
Everyone looks at me, I look at you, and they all see a message from each other's eyes, that is, fight!
Xu Han stood on the steps with his hands behind his back, the smile on his face looked contemptuous, which made those men want to try it even more, win, get a big fortune, and lose if they lose, anyway, they have nothing.
In less than half an hour, everyone recommended five people who had the best gambling skills, in fact, that is, those who did not lose too badly, and they looked good in their clothes.
The gambling method also picked a few things, such as double land, money throwing, dice shaking ratio, dominoes, six games and other five things.
Before the gamble began, the people who were singled out asked,
"Little prince, what you said is true? Really, as long as we win, we will return the money to us? β
Xu Han looked at those people with a smile, "Otherwise? What am I lying to you for? β
Only then did everyone put their hearts back in their stomachs, and they rolled up their sleeves one after another, wanting to do a big job.
"Don't be busy, look at these gambling equipment, don't wait to lose, but say that this king is cheating."
Those people didn't even dare to claim it, but they still stepped forward to look at the gambling equipment, and only after making sure that there was no problem did they reply to Xu Han.
Xu Han asked them if they came one by one or together, and when everyone saw Xu Han's determination, the ambition that had been ignited in their hearts couldn't help but be a little more vented.
Is this little prince really an expert? Otherwise, where can it be said that such a head is the way?
The rules of various gambling laws are all clear.
The selected people stepped forward one by one to bet with Xu Han, at first they were playing Shuanglu, and the people who came up looked at Xu Han, thinking of the lot of money, full of confidence.
He stepped forward to set up the backgammon, and this was the beginning, as soon as the gambler came up and threw the dice, he knocked Xu Han's chess down several times.
He looked at Xu Han with a smug face, how many years has he been an old gambler, this Shuanglu plays with his brain, can't he still win a young man who chirps with a brain?
Xu Han smiled lightly, threw the dice slowly, played chess, and went to the beam.
As time passed, the gambler's face became more and more ugly, and there was no trace of smugness, and at the end, he threw the chess piece,
"Little one throws in the towel."
On the chessboard, all of Xu Han's horses have returned to Liang and won!
The second one on the field was to play with money, this time, Xu Han didn't give the other party a chance, and directly killed the gambler.
The originally quiet crowd below began to make a sound little by little, and finally it was like boiling water, bubbling and bubbling.
"I didn't expect this little prince to have a hand, worthy of being a big gentleman in the capital in the past, these things are really slippery."
"This is really close to Zhu Zhechi, I heard that this little prince and the prince of Chengen are good and can wear a pair of pants, I want to come to the little prince to learn from the prince of Chengen."
Xiao Wei in the crowd said that he was very innocent, he wouldn't do this at all.
He looked at Xu Han with obsession, well, his Han Han is really different, really! Very good!
Bai Zhuo twitched the corners of his mouth, and once again affirmed that this little prince was really extraordinary, no wonder he could abduct their son crookedly......
In the next money, Xu Han also won, and the man who came up to gamble with Xu Han was surrounded and beat him up.
"Didn't you say you're amazing? Why did you lose? Why did you lose? β
Everyone gathered around the man and expressed their disbelief, they, old rivers and lakes, actually lost, lost, lost!
Xu Han sat on top and asked everyone indifferently, "Then there is no need for it, this king has already won two games in a row......"
The implication is that I want to give everyone a step down, otherwise the loss will be too ugly.
It's just that in the minds of gamblers, where is there anything to look good or not to look at, in order to gamble, not to mention selling property, selling wives, sons, and even old parents can do it.
What's more, just losing one game, it has already reached this point, where can these people retreat so easily?
A very thirsty person will jump when he sees a mirage, even if there is a cliff in front of him.
"Win three games in a row, next, there are three more ......" means that if the gamblers only need to win one game next, Xu Han will also lose, and they still have a chance.
Xu Han raised his eyebrows, noncommittal, and raised his chin, "Then you can choose one." β
The man who led the patch and patch strode in front of Xu Han and waved the dice tube in front of Xu Han, "That's it......"
"Are you sure?" Xu Han looked at the man fixedly, and asked with doubts, "If you lose this time again, you won't have a chance." β
The patch man's hand holding the dice cylinder pinched involuntarily, too hard, and his knuckles turned white, and after a while, he said,
"That's it."
This time, his tone was a little weaker than before.
Xu Han smiled and motioned for him to shake first.
The patched man wiped his hands on his body, closed his eyes and let out a long breath before picking up the dice and shaking it.
After shaking, after the cup was revealed, he couldn't help laughing, the three dice were all one, this was a kill.
No matter how Xu Han shakes it, it is difficult to shake out points smaller than this.
Xu Han's face did not change, shaking the dice tube, and there was a sound of cheering below.
Shaking it up and down three times, Xu Han buckled the dice cylinder on the table, and did not uncover the dice, but faced the patched man in front of him, as well as the people below,
"I'm not comparing this with you to show how skilled I am, and I don't want to pressure you for anything."
"In my opinion, the worst thing in the world is nothing more than gambling, because nine out of ten bets are lost."
"Just now, I want to give you a chance to let you know that you are lost, if you admit defeat now, it's still too late, as long as you admit defeat, even if I can't return the family property to you, I will arrange a good place for you."
The people below were quiet, like a calm lake, and everyone was even breathing.
The onlookers on the side widened their eyes, thinking to themselves, this little prince still looks too young, once he is contaminated with gambling, then this person can't be believed no matter what.
The little prince even wants to arrange a good place for them, ouch, how can they be so naΓ―ve?
I don't know who said, "Let's go." β
"It's not that when you see that you lose, you want to deny us."
Xu Han looked at the patch man and said, "Look at you like this, you have lost very badly, are you not willing to back down." β
The man squeezed his hand and motioned for Xu Han to open the dice, "If you lose, you will admit it." β
Xu Han was silent, and finally looked up and smiled, "Okay, then it's as you wish." β
She lifted the lid and saw three dice stacked on top of each other, the top one counting one!
In other words, Xu Han won.
The patch man's legs were weak, he fell to the ground, swallowed his saliva, and looked at Xu Han in disbelief, who could have calculated that this little prince actually shook the dice to stack them together.
There is also a wail below, losing, losing, there is really no chance at all.
Some people blame those who go up to gamble, they lose the gamble, and everyone thinks in their hearts, is it possible to win by going up by themselves?
"Someone is coming, ......" Xu Han glanced indifferently at the man who was making trouble below, and shouted.
The guards of the palace should be neat, standing behind Xu Han in rows.
Xu Han pointed with his hand, pointed to the one or two hundred people who were making trouble and said,
"Arrest all these men who gathered to make trouble, send them to Jing Zhaoyin, and tell Lord Zhou that if there are not enough cells, there will be ten people, and twenty people in one room, and you can stuff as many as you can."
Before everyone woke up from the bad news of losing the gambling game, a thunderbolt exploded on their heads, and the little prince, who was gambling with them one moment, sent them to the cell the next moment.
The faces of all the men changed, especially those who lost the bet, and they were immediately so calm that they couldn't lift up.
"The little people are just confused for a while, please ask the little prince to be merciful and forgive the little ones once."
The voices of the leaders became quieter, their attitudes softened, and the followers behind them were naturally not loud, although they were unwilling to go, they also kowtowed and begged for mercy.
Xu Han just looked at everyone again, and the people behind didn't know that the leaders in front of him knew that the necks of those who were looked at by Xu Han were cold.
"I have already given you a chance just now, but you are obsessed, in this way, the laws of the Eastern Yuan Dynasty, the people gather to make trouble, especially in front of the palace, you will be detained for ten days and fined 100 taels of silver."
"Come on, take these people away."
"Little prince, the little ones are wrong, the little ones really know that they are wrong, please let the little prince spare the little ones once."
Xu Han glanced at the guards who were pulling people with their hands, those guards suddenly moved more, and the strength in their hands was even greater, where could those gamblers drag the guards of the palace?
But for some reason, although the gamblers' flesh hurt, they didn't leave their positions.
Everyone was very scared, and kept kowtowing, and some of the blood on their heads came out.
Xu Han seemed to be a little unbearable, lowered his head and thought for a moment, and said,
"This king took over the gambling house case by His Majesty's will, and he did not dare not do his best, although you came here to make trouble, so that this king has nothing to do with it, but Your Majesty's affairs cannot be left undone, and you, as Your Majesty's people, this king cannot ignore it."
"This king can't bear to see you ruined one by one......"
She paused, "Since you are sincerely repentant, you must also show a little sincerity......"
Today, Xu Han spoke as if he was panting, and after saying this, he stopped and looked at the people below.
Those troublemakers saw that Xu Han was willing to let them go, and then listened, this little prince was clearly conditional.
So, they all agreed indiscriminately,
"What does the little prince want the little ones to do, even if he tells him, the little ones are willing to do it."
Xu Han clapped his hands and smiled, and nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, since that's the case, you can recruit the main envoy who instigated you to come to the palace to make trouble." β
"If you tell him what he is, the king will let you go home, and will get you an errand on the wharf, or in the merchants of the great houses, to tear down houses, to carry sacks, and to open stones."
The crowd was stunned, this ...... This...... It is not difficult for them to say that the Lord has made people, but let them do coolies, which is simply a gamble for their lives.
Suddenly cried out, "Little prince, this ...... This...... Isn't it asking the little ones to do coolies? It's a lot of money earned by the little ones. β
Among the onlookers on the side, there were those who were upset with Xu Han and ridiculed these people.
"The little prince just wants you to tell the truth and find a way out for you, do you think you can sell it casually if you work hard?"
"People like you, which dock is willing to ask for it, and which contractor is willing to ask for it? What if I accept you, three days of fishing, two days of drying nets, plus the addiction to gambling comes up, what should I do if I steal the master's money to gamble? β
"The little prince asked you to work hard, but you took the risk of being the boss."
"Are you not satisfied? Do you still want to empty gloves? β
Xu Han said everything he should have said, and he didn't want to continue to spend time here and continue to talk to these people.
But he said, "If you want it or not, this king will not force it." Send them to the government and tell the officials who take the case what to do. β
Where did the troublemakers dare to hesitate, someone jumped out and said,
"Little prince, it was the people from the Yongyi Marquis Mansion who asked us to come to the palace to make trouble, saying that if we make a fuss, the prince will return the money to us."
The leading patch man immediately bared his teeth and glared at the whistleblower, and rushed over to hit him, "Lao Tzu let you say, let you say, I will kill you." β
The guards of the palace immediately went up and grabbed the man, and in the crowd, I don't know who it was, let out a long 'huh' again,
"Isn't this the nephew of the nephew of the nephew of the eldest steward of the Yongyi Mansion, the son-in-law of his eighth uncle?"
As soon as the words came out, all of a sudden, the men who were led by him to make trouble on the side immediately pounced and beat around the patch man.
The palace guards who were originally grabbing him hurriedly jumped away to avoid suffering from the pond fish.
A crowd made trouble, started vigorously, and ended like a singing, the patch man was beaten with a blue nose and swollen face, not only that, Xu Han sent him to Jing Zhaoyin, and other troublemakers were willing to testify to Xu Han.
The testimony was made by the people of the Marquis of Yongyi's Mansion who asked them to come to the palace to make trouble.
Xu Han sent the chief history of the palace to follow him to the yamen to shout grievances, holding his head himself, saying that he was sick, and asked people to invite the imperial doctor to come over, and he needed to rest.
She was just about to enter the door of the palace when she caught sight of Xiao Wei and Bai Zhuo under the steps.
She covered her head, walked up to Xiao Wei casually, and pulled him to a secluded place.
"Why are you here?"
Xiao Wei coughed lightly and said with a smile,
"If I don't come, can I see you in full swing?"
"I didn't expect it, Eleven Niang, you would still have this ......"
The corners of Xu Han's eyes bent, betting on this thing can really be faked, otherwise, where can the gambling house win so much.
Pity those gamblers, who always think that they can win next time, but in fact, they will never win.
Fraud, too easy to do, one person has one person's practice, many people have many people's practice.
Xu Han thought of this, and his face darkened again, these were all taught to them by several brothers of the Huo family before.
The men of the Huo family all started as small soldiers, and their experiences were different from those of others.
And Uncle Seven, I don't know how many books I have read, I have all kinds of books, and she likes to mix with Uncle Seven the most.
Xiao Wei knew that she was ringing Huo Qi's matter, and looked around, the people around the onlookers had already gone, and those who were making trouble walked away, and followed those who went to the yamen to the yamen, and there was no one at this time.
Oh, Bai Zhuo should be counted as a human.
Bai Zhuo turned his back to his back, trying to reduce his sense of existence, so that they didn't see themselves as human beings.
Xiao Wei held Xu Han's hand by the hem of his sleeve,
"Brother Xiao will take you to eat delicious food."
As he spoke, he dragged Xu Han away.
He said that taking Xu Han to eat delicious food is really delicious.
Xiao Wei took Xu Handao to the famous century-old restaurant in the capital to eat yokan.
As if they had been ordered a long time ago, before they sat down, Xiao Er came up with a big bowl and a small plate.
The seats are also booked in advance, and it is the best window position in the store.
Xiao Wei rolled up his sleeves and gave Xu Han a bowl of mutton soup with his own hands.
Xu Han took the sweet food he ate, and noticed that the eyes of the handsome man opposite him fell on him hotly, so he couldn't help but put down the spoon and touched his face.
"Is there something?"
Xiao Wei smiled, shook his head, and asked,
"Is it delicious?"
Xu Han smiled, his eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and the hot yokan was eaten, and some of the not very good mood just now had dissipated, "Not bad." β
Xiao Wei pretended to move the yokan in his bowl with the spoon in his hand, tasted it, frowned, and said with a bitter face,
"Why doesn't the food in my bowl seem to taste good?"
Xu Han was surprised, it was obviously served in a big bowl, where would there be a difference in taste.
She raised her hand, reached over and touched Xiao Wei's forehead,
"Are you uncomfortable, so tasteless in your mouth?"
Xiao Wei spooned another spoonful and put it to Xu Han's lips, "Don't believe it, you can taste it." β
Xu Han lowered his head and ate the spoon, "The taste is the same, Xiao Xiaozheng, I think you're sick." β
Xiao Wei shook his head, picked up the spoon in Xu Han's bowl, scooped a spoonful, took a sip in his mouth, tasted it carefully, squinted his eyes and said,
"Hanhan, the food in your bowl is better."
Xu Han's hand was still on his forehead, thinking to himself, didn't he just stand in the wind, and he was blown by the cold wind and got the wind chill?
Just as he wanted to go back first, let the imperial doctor diagnose his pulse, but when he was caught off guard, when he heard Xiao Wei say this, he suddenly understood, and the slender jade pointed at Xiao Wei's forehead,
"I didn't expect it, Xiao Xiaozheng, you are so shameless."
Xiao Xiao grabbed Xu Han's wrist and bit her index finger lightly,
"Well, shameless, as long as you."
Coincidentally, there was a knock on the door outside, and Xu Han hurriedly retracted his hand,
"Ascend to the disciples."
Xiao Xiao laughed, the door outside was pushed open, and it turned out to be Xuanpingfang, Xu Danxiu's little guy, I saw him panting in and reporting to Xu Hanyu,
"Little prince, the old prince has fought with people on Niangniang's side. first fought with Niangniang's new groom, and later fought with General Qi who came to visit Niangniang, and now the three of them are in a mess. β
"It's just that the mother is only watching the play on the side, and Mama Fang asked me to come to the little prince."
Xu Han frowned, Xu Jun fought with people?
Xiao Wei sneered in his heart, these old men are really going back one by one, no, they are getting younger and younger, and they are fighting in a group for his mother-in-law......
I'm so excited, I want to see it!
