Chapter 489: The Gambler

These words were unceremoniously, but the old man did not get angry because of this, but nodded slightly, and seemed to agree with Liu He's words, "It seems that you are an understanding person, who is not risking his life for a future." If you want to be famous in the world, you can go to the front of the two armies and kill alone, as long as you can survive, you will naturally be appreciated. But the scholar is different, no matter where he goes, if he does not get the trust of the person in power, his life's learning will be in vain. ”

"Is it worth risking your life in order to apply what you have learned?"

After Liu He asked this sentence, he stared at the old man tightly, and when he saw the old man nodding without hesitation, he suddenly felt that the old man was crazy, and all the people who read in the world were crazy.

"If you have any doubts about the old man's words, you might as well think about yourself, why isn't this the case?"

The old man's words made Liu He stunned on the spot as if he had been struck by lightning.

The most ridiculous thing in this world is that one day you suddenly find that you have become the kind of person you look down on the most.

After a period of silence, the old man filled Liu He with a cup of tea, and said softly: "Since you and I are both gamblers, why don't we take a gamble, what do you think?" ”

Liu He, who had a dry mouth, picked up the teacup and drank it all without any manners, he put the teacup down, wiped his mouth, and asked, "What are you betting on?" How to gamble? ”

"It's really a happy person," a smile appeared on the old man's face for the first time, "Let's bet on my son, the old man bets that he won't tell you the truth, if I win, please don't interfere in the affairs of our Guo family again." ”

"What if you lose?" Liu He seemed to be more confident than the old man.

The old man said without hesitation: "If I lose, I won't force him to do anything again, but the old man thinks that you will lose this bet." ”

Liu He smiled: "Oh? I'd like to hear why you're so confident. ”

The old man said slowly: "Since he set up this situation, naturally I don't want to tell you the truth, and I know him better than anyone else, and what he wants to hide, even if it is rotten in his stomach, he will not tell anyone, which is why he is more suitable for being an official than doing business." ”

Liu He thought for a while and nodded, "Okay, let's make up our minds, and we'll bet on this game." But there's one thing I want to figure out, how did you know so clearly about what I did with him before? ”

The old man glanced at Liu He meaningfully, "A gambler will not know who his opponent will be before he goes to the table, so he has to figure out the details of the people in the entire casino, are you satisfied with this answer?" ”

Liu He smiled and shook his head, obviously feeling that the old man was playing tricks.

The old man didn't explain much, and immediately called the young scholar who was guarding the door in.

Liu He carefully investigated the young scholar, and vaguely felt that the other party had some skills, and he should have also practiced martial arts, but compared to him, it was far behind.

Liu He smiled evilly: "What? Want to get your hands dirty? Let me remind you first, if you accidentally hurt him later, I don't care if I take him to the doctor. ”

The old man didn't pay attention to Liu He, but said to the young scholar, "Who was the big eunuch on duty in the emperor's bedroom last night?" ”

"It's Feng Wei and Feng Gonggong." The expressionless young man replied without hesitation.

"In the past three days, who have come to Cao Cao's mansion? What are the differences? ”

"The day before yesterday, it was Chen Qun, the middle of the imperial history, who came to visit, in order to report on the officials in the capital who were reported last month. The day before yesterday were Shang Shu and Gao Rou, who were Shang Shufu and Gao Rou, who respectively reported on the reclamation of farmland around Xuchang and the public order in Xuchang. Yesterday, Cao Cao had a head stroke and was bedridden, closed all day long, and did not see anyone. ”

Liu He didn't react on the surface, but he was stunned in his heart.

Although this Yingchuan is not far from Xuchang, but the horse gallops, it takes a small half a day to walk, in such a short period of time, all this information is in the hand, it seems that this Yingchuan big family, really deserves its reputation.

The old man nodded at the young scholar and turned to look at Liu He.

Liu He thought for a while and said with a smile: "It's useless for you to say this, I don't know if these things are true or not, who knows if the two of you colluded to fool me?" ”

The old man immediately asked the young scholar again, "Who is the most trusted person around the emperor?" ”

"It's Huang He, Huang Gonggong."

"Who is locked up in that prison in the Xuchang Palace?"

"It's the divine doctor Hua Tuo, Wenhou Lu Bu, and ......" The young scholar who always lowered his head and answered one by one, suddenly looked up at the old man, "There is also the former Son of Heaven, Liu Wei, who was later deposed as the king of Hongnong." ”

The old man listened calmly as the young scholar said the names of these three megatrons, and then turned his head to look at Liu He, who was stunned, with a more or less provocative hint in his eyes.

Liu He immediately adjusted his emotions, and pretended to be flat: "It's useless for you to ask anything, I have to ask myself, if he says it, I will believe you." ”

The old man did not speak, and made a straightforward gesture of please.

Liu He thought for a while and asked, "What is the name of my concierge?" ”

The young scholar still seemed to be haunted by Liu He's attitude towards him, and squeezed out two words from between his teeth, "Liu Fu." ”

"I know that, and I'm right."

As he spoke, Liu He got up to say goodbye, and just as he walked to the door, he suddenly heard the young scholar say another sentence, and this sentence made the smile on Liu He's face instantly freeze and disappear, and he turned his head sharply and looked at the young scholar with unbelievable eyes.

"He is not only the concierge of your family, but also the eyeliner that Fa Zheng has planted in Tianji Mansion."

"Why did Fa Zheng put eyeliner in my house?" After being silent for a long time, Liu He gritted his teeth and asked.

"I can only answer you one sentence, and you have already asked just now." The young scholar's face, who had always been expressionless, finally showed a sneer that was obviously hostile.

"Do you really know everything?" Liu He said coldly.

The young scholar seemed a little proud, "In this world, there is nothing I don't know." ”

Liu He smiled evilly: "Didn't you say that you only answered me one question?" This is the second one. ”

With that, Liu He turned around with a smile and strode away, leaving only the young scholar with a look of remorse and gritted teeth, and the old man who showed a knowing smile for the first time.

When he returned to the second floor and just sat down, before Liu He could explain the matter of the old man on the third floor to everyone, Qian Zhuan followed him upstairs.
