Chapter Twenty-Eight: Framing the Gambling King
"I accidentally got suspicious when I saw Jin Zhanhong and four gambling sticks together next to a small grove, and I secretly hid to listen to what they said, and I learned what was going on after listening to it."
"It turned out that Jin Zhanhong colluded with four people to conspire to kill me, for my silver, he first drugged me, so that I was delirious when gambling, so that I lost the gamble, he and the four people divided 800,000 taels equally, and he got 400,000 taels, and then he took advantage of my lack of consciousness in the inn, let me sign a piece of paper and press my handprint, the paper said to pay 800,000 taels after seeing this article, that is my last savings, he took the note to my home to withdraw money, saying that I need to use the gambling money urgently, My family gave him all their savings without any doubt. ”
"After listening to it, I jumped out and asked Jin Zhanhong, why did you betray me, is it just for money, is it a conspiracy for you to worship me as a teacher? Four gambling sticks and Jin Zhanhong came up to attack me, I fought with the five of them, the four gambling sticks were average in martial arts, but it was difficult for me to win for a while with a large number of people, and what was even more hateful was that Jin Zhanhong used a flying needle to plot against me, five steel needles blinded one of my eyes, and the four wicked people stepped up their offensive, and I was forced by them to have no power to fight back, and in the end they escaped. ”
"I was looking for Jin Zhanhong and demons everywhere, they fled in all directions, and suddenly one day, I was walking on the street, and an official messenger wanted to arrest me, I don't understand why, the official messenger said I killed someone!"
"How could I kill someone, they must have made a mistake, I was in a hurry, I got rid of the official errand and fled, and after quietly inquiring, I found out that there was a case of extermination in Yanshi County, a rich man's family of 13 was all killed, and the family property was looted, and someone found me swaggering out from the main gate of their house, so the official messenger will arrest me everywhere."
"Later, I finally figured it out, it turned out that all this was Jin Zhanhong's ghost, he once said that he was a person from Dilongmen, but he had broken away from Dilongmen, Dilongmen was good at disguise, so in order to let me no longer find him, he disguised myself as a rich man and entered the rich man's house, killed their whole family, and took away the silver ticket fine, I was planted and blamed, my wife was separated, there was no way out, I had to go into the mountain, but I accidentally slipped down the mountain and fell into the group of poisonous snakes, fortunately, Buddha Tucheng passed by and saved me, although I didn't die, But my brain was broken, I lost my memory, and I didn't know who I was. ”
Yunru said: "No wonder when I first met you, you didn't know what your name was. ”
"When I saw Jin Zhanhong today, I had a little impression in my mind, but I didn't really remember who it was, until he played the Three Immortals Returning to the Cave, I completely remembered the past, my enemy was in front of me, so I immediately taught you gambling skills, and asked you to bet on his feet, but unfortunately he ran away."
"Senior, what are you going to do in the future?"
"I want to find Jin Zhanhong, get my family property back, and let him prove my innocence, and let him be brought to justice."
"Okay, senior, if you need Yunru's help, let me know, Yunru will definitely spare no effort."
"Well, put away your flute, as long as you are in the Central Plains for a day, I can protect you."
"Thank you, senior."
Zu Ti and the two entered the East Palace and told Sima Shu that the military expenses had been settled, and they could go out on the expedition when they had built a flat van.
Sima Shu said happily: "Okay, Zu Ti, when you come back, you will be a great general." ”
Zu Ti said: "As long as you can do things for the country, you don't care about any general." ”
Sima Shu said again: "There is another happy event to tell you, I and Wang Jingfeng's marriage Jia Hou also agreed, yesterday Zhang Sikong mentioned this matter in the court, I didn't expect this time she agreed to be happy, my father said that after you go on the expedition, he will hold a big wedding for me." ”
Zu Ti said: "It's really a great joy, congratulations to Your Highness." ”
Sima Shu said: "It's a pity that Zu Ti can't drink my wedding wine when he arrives, and when you come back, I will celebrate your achievements and make up for your wedding wine." ”
"Your Highness is gracious."
"Zu Ti, you go and get down to business, I'm also going to prepare for the big event of getting married."
"Yes, Your Highness."
The two left the East Palace and entered a workshop, the owner of the workshop was an old man, and Zu Ti drew a sketch and handed it to him.
The old man took a closer look and said, "This is General Mallon's flat van." ”
"The old man has seen it?"
"Yes, when General Ma went to Liangzhou, he built a flat carriage here, and I made a few suggestions."
"Ah, that's great, you should be familiar with this job, and I'm going to use these vehicles as soon as possible."
"Okay, when General Ma came to make the car, I was still young, and I remember that the sketch was not the same as what you drew now."
"Yes, old man, I have changed the size, higher and wider than the original, and the single wheel used to carry the car has also been changed to two wheels, because General Ma went to Liangzhou, where the mountains are vertical and horizontal, of course, you have to use the single wheel, and the size is not too big, now it is different, I want to use these flat vans in the Chang'an area, the size can be larger, there can be more sergeants in it, and the march is more secure."
"If it makes sense, I'll do it according to your sketch, and a hundred cars will be completed in ten days."
"Okay, then there is labor, and I can go on the expedition after the flat van is done."
The two of them paid a deposit, ordered grain and forage everywhere, and were very busy.
Liu Yao passed all this information to Liu Ji and Liu Zhen, and asked them to find a way to get Jia Nanfeng to remove Zu Li, and then send himself to Guanzhong instead.
In the early dynasty, Zhang Huayu played the matter of Zu Ti's self-raising military expenses, Jia Nanfeng had already heard Liu Zhen say it, although he didn't want Zu Ti to go, but he couldn't find a suitable reason for a while, so he had to let Sima Zhen agree to go on the expedition on a certain day.
Back in Nangong, Jia Nan was furious: "Zu Ti really has a way, he actually got the military expenses by himself, how can this be reasonable, is there only to let him go on the expedition!?" ”
Liu Zhen has already had a plan, he said; "Don't worry, there is a way to deal with the ancestors."
"Say!"
"If you don't let Zu Ti go on the expedition, the best way is to send him to prison!"
"Sent to prison?"
"Yes, there is a powerful thief in Luoyang City, who has come and gone without a trace, and has stolen a lot of wealthy families, but the government has not even caught a single figure."
"So what?"
"Niangniang, Zu Ti is strong in martial arts and outstanding in light skills, presumably he is a thief in the city!"
When Jia Nanfeng heard this, he smiled and said: "Xiaozhao, you have the same brain as Xiaofu, you can think of such a bad idea, hahahaha, you are too talented." ”
"Niangniang, this should be done like this......"
