In Shenyang City, the cold wind hit people, and the day after the martial law was lifted, the gambling halls in the city looked hot. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoBecause of the war, the gambling hall was closed for a while, and the gamblers in the city held back for a long time. Even when it was not open, people came to inquire from time to time. Ordinary people can't understand the psychology of gamblers, and gamblers don't agree with why ordinary people who are busy are running around.

Wu Zhiwen, the son of the shopkeeper Wu, has not been here for a long time. It has been a long time since the last time I lost all the money I owed a thousand taels of silver, and then I was redeemed by my father. He hadn't been here since that time, not because he didn't want to, but because he couldn't avoid his family. Last time, he was beaten up by his father, it hurt a lot, and his sister who didn't say a word next to him cried. Moreover, the old father brutally gave him the old servant Fuber, and instructed Fuber to follow him at all times.

Since then, he has not dared to come to the Chengbei Gambling House again. Fu Bo is like a shadow, conscientious, Wu Zhiwen tried coercion and temptation, but Fu Bo was unmoved, Fu Bo did not speak, wherever he went, Fu Bo followed, which made Wu Zhiwen very headache. For the first time since his mother's death, Wu Zhiwen felt that someone was following him all the time, and it seemed to feel good.

However, it all came to an abrupt halt just a few days ago. Fauber went out with him, along with his father, to buy fur for the last time this spring. Maybe Daddy thinks he's been doing well recently and hasn't caused trouble, maybe Daddy finally wants to cultivate a qualified heir, in short, Daddy made an exception to take himself out.

Stuffed in the city for a long time, and occasionally going out, Wu Zhiwen's mood is naturally happy. He went to Orion's house, said hello on behalf of his father, and asked Fubo to buy it, and he himself audited and studied, as a life experience, which seemed to be good. Although Wu Zhiwen does not like to be a businessman, this does not prevent him from seriously experiencing it.

Wu Zhiwen once thought that his father would leave the family property to his sister who was weak on the outside but strong on the inside. But this experience, and his father's encouraging eyes, made him feel that his father was still on his side, and his sister received a rich dowry at most.

However, the sky was not as good as expected, and the huge convoy of Tartars was obviously the first choice for the robbery of the golden soldiers. Before Daddy could say anything about his life, the knife slid through his neck, and blood spurted out. Wu Zhiwen had to admit that at that moment he was scared, and the brave Fu Bo rushed up to hug his father's corpse and cried.

Fu Bo is his father's elder brother, he rushed forward desperately, and was immediately cut off by the Tartar, and his head was rolled in front of Wu Zhiwen's eyes. Just now, there were some sluggish convoy guys, howling, and running in all directions. It was these guys who diverted the attention of the Tartars, and Wu Zhiwen took advantage of the chaos to jump into the stinky ditch next to him and escaped.

Wu Zhiwen hid outside the city for a day in fear, and relied on the only piece of air-dried beef in his arms to survive back to Shenyang City. But at this time, the Wu Mansion first faced heavy debts. Because of the war, a large number of Shenyang fur merchants fled, resulting in a vacuum in the market, and the war caused a large demand for furs. Therefore, my father borrowed money to buy, hoping to occupy the market in the future with the help of a huge acquisition scale and successfully counterattacked, but the result was that people were not as good as heaven, but Wu Zhiwen was burdened with huge debts. With both people and money, it is difficult to cope with the current predicament by relying on the savings of the family.

Wu Zhiwen was in a very bad mood and needed to have some fun, and after thinking about it for a long time, he felt that the Chengbei Gambling House seemed to be a good place to go.

"Wu Gongzi, you're here, hurry up inside, man, prepare a place for Wu Gongzi."

Looking at Boss Lei with a smile on his face, Wu Zhiwen's heart relaxed for a while. He nodded, and went in to take a spot. Wu Zhiwen only had ten taels of silver on him, and he didn't plan to play for too long today.

The psychology of gamblers is difficult to predict, including the gamblers themselves. Today's successive handfuls of smooth sailing made Wu Zhiwen burst out with a scorching passion. He stared at the table, his cards in his hand, he had entered the meditation of a gambler, and the noise around him had no effect on him. won again, Wu Zhiwen's luck finally got out of the haze of the past few days.

With the extra dozens of taels of silver in his pocket, listening to the admiration of the crowd around him, and the cries of beating his chest on the table, Wu Zhiwen's confidence has never been so strong.

At the door, there was a girl standing quietly, who was staring at Wu Zhiwen who was sideways beside the middle of the gaming table with a disdainful expression. She gritted her teeth and muttered, then ran away crying. This is Xiao Tao, Wu Shihan asked her to find the young master, she looked for a long time, and then she thought of trying her luck at the Chengbei Gambling House. Xiao Tao really didn't want to meet the young master here, because the young lady would be sad about it.

Today the house has become a mess. Many valuable furniture, calligraphy and paintings, as well as the title deeds of the mansion have been sold. The creditors are waiting for the new treasurer of the Wu family to sign, and the signed note will be used as a proof of debt settlement. The young lady didn't want to sign it, because this kind of show up had a bad reputation for the girl who had not left the cabinet. Therefore, the young lady asked her to look for the young master.

The creditors who are waiting at home are actually more willing to let Miss Han sign, but they are thinking about the old relationship and are unwilling to persecute it. But now in this situation, how can I go back and tell the young lady?

"Xiao Tao, what are you wandering at the door, come in and say quickly, have you found the young master?" After Wu Shihan finished asking, he stood quietly under the eaves, seemingly ignoring the guys who were carrying things around.

"Miss... Xiao Tao really didn't want Miss to be sad, and she looked like she wanted to say something.

"Xiao Tao, you can say it, I can hold it."

Xiao Tao cried, and the tears washed off the makeup on her face in an instant, and she choked up and said, "Miss, young master, young master is in the Chengbei Gambling House." ”

"Okay, I know Xiao Tao, don't cry, good girl, you are paying attention to yourself these days, find a good family."

"Miss, I'm not going." Xiao Tao cried louder, provoking the guy next to him to point fingers. Xiao Tao doesn't care, she and Miss have been for so many years, although they are nominally master and servant, but Miss is like a sister to herself, at this time, she really doesn't want to leave.

"I have dismissed the maids and servants in the house, and your uncle will help me take care of some of the funeral. The shopkeeper promised that the old house would lend me a few days for a while, and when my father's clothes were buried, I would move out. "If you follow me, you will only suffer when the time comes, and I can't even take care of myself now.

"Miss, I'm going to follow you, wherever you go." Xiao Tao cried and refused to let go.

"Hey, silly girl." Wu Shihan walked over and gently wiped away Xiao Tao's tears with a handkerchief.

"Xiao Tao, that mirror, you take the time to give it to Shen Gongzi in a while, don't let my brother see it again, this is not an ordinary thing, we are lonely now, and it is a disaster to bring it with us."

"Miss, why don't you go to the pawnshop, this can also solve the urgent need."

"Little Peach, you don't understand." Wu Shihan's cheeks suddenly flushed with a faint flush, she turned around, looked up at Hualou, turned her back to Xiao Tao and said lightly: "This is Wu Gongzi's intention, and it can't be taken off, otherwise you will lose your integrity as a person." I'm going to sign, and after lunch, you can ask your uncle to accompany you, and send the mirror back to Shen Gongzi. ”

Fushun, in Nurhachi's palace, there is a gloomy cloud. Since last night, the demoralized Houjin army fled back to Fushun one after another, and this city, which was still looking forward to victory, suddenly became extremely dull.

Before Nurhachi arrived at the palace, he was unconscious. One of his calves and arms was engulfed in flames, blackened, and a scorching smell permeated the room.

The eldest concubine, Abahai, who had just turned thirty-one this year, was kneeling beside her to help Nurhachi silently clean. From time to time, Nurhachi's abdomen was bleeding, and the newly wrapped white cloth was stained blood red again.

Two imperial doctors have already come, and they have expressed helplessness with the wounds on the abdominal cavity.

Enraged, Mang Gurtai killed one of the Imperial Physicians on the spot, and if Dai Shan hadn't stopped him, the other Imperial Physician would have died under his sword.

No one knew that Nurhachi had a piece of shrapnel in his abdomen, embedded deep in it. If you don't have surgery, you can only wait for death slowly. Even if they knew, these imperial doctors did not dare to operate on Nurhachi's abdominal cavity.

Abahai cried quietly, she really didn't want Nurhachi to leave now. Last year, inexplicable rumors involved her and Dai Shan, and after a series of incidents, Dai Zishan inexplicably lost the position of prince.

Since then, Abahai has become cautious. She could not make any more mistakes, his eldest son Azig was only sixteen, Dorgon was nine, and the youngest Dordor was only seven, and if there were any more demon moths at this time, her sons would be left without bones. The Aixin Jueluo family has experienced a lot of such things, family affection is one of them, killing is the second, Shuerhaqi and Chu Ying are all like this.

Abahai cursed the big bird in Shenyang City, and she planned to ask the shaman to exorcise evil spirits tomorrow.

The curse did not cause the giant bird in Shenyang City to die, on the contrary, the giant bird became the hottest topic in people's mouths. Chen Fuke even listened to Shen Jia's strange talk, and began to deliberately guide public opinion and shape the influence of the government. At first, Chen Fuke didn't want to do this, but Shen Jia persuaded him: "Instead of letting the people guess, it is better to make up a set of white lies and guide them, which can also increase the credibility of the government." ”

As for what credibility is, Chen Fuke only listened to a rough idea. He was a disciple of Confucianism, and he didn't bother to do this, so he simply handed it over to his staff.

So, now the rumor has become, God knows that Daming is trapped by the Tartars, and specially descends a giant bird to solve the crisis and save the suffering. Unexpectedly, there are so many people who believe it. As for the real version, no one believes it at all. A shopkeeper even opened his mouth and asked, "You should let the master fly me to take a look." ”

Most of the people are listening to the rumors with a playful mind, there is no entertainment trend in this era, and suddenly one day the whole city is discussing a topic, and whether it is true or false becomes not so important.

Shen Jia was very depressed now, he didn't expect the mobilization ability of Ming Dynasty officials to be so slow. He originally hoped that through the battle of Fushun, he would seize the grain, grass and baggage, make a solid contribution, and whitewash his and Wen Qing's identities. But these generals of the Ming army are old and serious, and they don't dare to urge themselves, and they will blow their beards and stare at them when they urge. is a junior himself, and he is basically treated as a monkey in them.

Since this is the case, I have to lie on the recliner in the yard, bask in the afternoon sun, and listen to Wen Qing teaching the maid, which is also comfortable.

"Qingwen, give Ye a leg and laugh again." Shen Jia looked at Wen Qing's maid named "Qingwen" with a smile.

Suddenly, a hand twisted into his ear, and Shen Jia couldn't help but follow this hand, lifting his shoulders and standing up from the recliner.

"Just like a bear, you still want to be an uncle, get out."

The female hooligan couldn't be offended, so Shen Jia hurriedly got up and left.

Before he went out, he saw Uncle He's apprentice Xiao Zhang hurrying over.

"Zhang Xiaosan, what's the matter with such a hurry?"

"Ah, Shen Gongzi, something happened, hurry up and follow me."

"You tell me first, or I won't go." Shen Jia stood there and looked at Zhang Xiaosan with a smile.

"Childe, you're all on fire, you're still like this, Miss Wu was sold by his brother to Boss Lei in the north of the city, and if you don't go, they will take people away."

When Shen Jia heard that this was the right matter, he quickly put away the joking mentality, went out, and hurried to the Wu Mansion under the escort of two bodyguards.

On the way, I learned that Uncle He learned that Wu Shihan was selling his property to pay off his debts, so he asked his apprentice Zhang Xiaosan to send one hundred taels of silver over this afternoon. Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhang Xiaosan arrived at the door, he saw that Boss Lei's subordinates in the north of the city were about to arrest people, and they were blocked at the door by the Wu family's guys who cleaned up their assets.

Zhang Xiaosan is a clever person, and when he inquired, he learned that the son of the Wu family went to the casino again.

Today, Wu Zhiwen lost a lot of money again, owed a lot of gambling debts, and Boss Lei threatened to cut off one of Wu Zhiwen's arms. Frightened, Wu Zhiwen thought of the mirror that was snatched away by his sister last night, and thought of paying off his debts through the mirror. Boss Lei had also heard of this mirror, so he asked his subordinates to take Wu Zhiwen to his house to ask for it.

Who knew that when he arrived at home, Wu Zhiwen's sister refused to pay off the mirror. The subordinate was furious and wanted to cut off one of Wu Zhiwen's fingers. Wu Zhiwen was so frightened that he peed his pants on the spot, and in order to save his life, he even paid off his sister without words.

Ordinary girls are only a few dozen taels of silver at most, but yesterday the Wu family was blocked and forced to pay debts, and some good people saw Wu Shihan and hyped up in the casino how beautiful the Wu family lady was, and asked for her life, which happened to be heard by Boss Lei. The little guy who Boss Lei instructed to do things can't get the mirror, and the girl can too.

In the Ming Dynasty, when his parents were away, his eldest brother was like his father, and he had gambling debts in front of him, Wu Shihan didn't even have a chance to resist. Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhang Xiaosan went home and told Uncle He. He Lao Bo thought about it and felt that Shen Jia's current identity seemed to be able to handle this matter better, so he asked Zhang Xiaosan to report the news.

After listening to Zhang Xiaosan's narration on the way, Shen Jiacai had a basic understanding of Wu Zhiwen, a swinger.

When everyone arrived at Wu's house, a group of guys at the door were blocking the gate to death.

"I said the Li family boy, you can do your best for a girl, anyway, this Wu family is going to be finished, what do you have to do." A young man in a power suit was shouting to the door.

"Dong Sanbao, I'm not for the Wu family, my shopkeeper wants to let the Wu family's people sign and draw the pledge, you took Miss Wu away, who will get it?"

"Isn't the eldest young master of the Wu family still here with me, he can." The little guy pointed to Wu Zhiwen behind him and shouted towards the door.

"Just him? My shopkeeper doesn't admit it, this property is cleaned up, said big or not, said small is not small, in case this person regrets it in the future, it doesn't matter if he eats a lawsuit, my shopkeeper is afraid of losing face and affecting business. A young man in Tsing Yi shouted at the door.

At this moment, the atmosphere suddenly became cold. Shen Jia turned around to look, and a slightly chubby man with a big face and three thick faces came over and said to a few little guys: "What are you talking about with him, if it is useful, what do you want you to do?" What are you going to do, go back and get ten slaps each. ”

Shen Jia said in his heart, I'm afraid this is the boss of Chengbei Lei. As soon as he finished thinking about it, he didn't expect this Lei Boss Deng Deng Deng to walk quickly to the door, and with a bang, his fist smashed on the face of the guy just now. Before the guy could come to his senses, Boss Lei reached out and threw him a few meters away. Then he asked lightly with his hands behind his back: "Who else wants to stop it?" ”
