When he first started gambling, Tang Haitai's luck was still good, he won three times in a row, and the income was dozens of taels of silver, you must know that Lu Dao, his money is only eight taels of silver per month, less than a hundred taels of silver a year, the income of three gambling, more than a year of money, such a way to make money, of course, is very good.

And after Tang Haitai won the silver, he invited Kang Tai to have a good time in the restaurant and the green building, which was considered to have repaid this wish, and he was able to raise his head in front of Kang Tai.

This gambling, there is a good saying, small gambling pleasure, big gambling hurts, all gambling people, are thinking about getting something for nothing, but unfortunately the luck of the casino, can not always be so good, and Tang Haitai is just a novice in gambling, there is not much research on pai gow, the reason why the first few times he won, is also a trap specially set by others, according to Tang Haitai's skills, how can he win so much silver.

Next, Tang Haitai's luck was not so good, he lost a few times, some of the gambling silver was provided by Kangtai, and it didn't hurt his muscles and bones, because he took the silver from Kangtai's hand, Tang Haitai felt that he had to find an opportunity to win well, and he couldn't always ask Kangtai to pay for himself.

It was also when Tang Haitai had this idea that Kangtai suddenly left Ningyuan City, this is because it is about to enter autumn, Kangtai needs to buy a batch of leather goods, and the beginning of autumn is the peak season for sales, so it is expected that Kangtai will leave Ningyuan City this time.

But Kangtai's departure is not ordinary for Tang Haitai, because Tang Haitai has lost his economic support, and the time for Kangtai to leave is very interesting, just when Tang Haitai is very embarrassed. I lost a few times of silver, but I didn't have any silver on my body, and I couldn't even go to the restaurant to drink.

If it was when he was down in the past, Tang Haitai was cowering in the governor's yamen, and it would not be a big deal. It's a pity that this situation is difficult to maintain, for a period of time, Tang Haitai has been generous, and in the governor's yamen, he still has some face, everyone thinks that Tang Haitai has noble people to help, and he is also a capable person, although he has encountered a lot of unexpected situations. It is not easy to still be able to live a nourishing life, and it is this understanding that makes Tang Haitai know that he can't show that he is down, and he must continue to be generous.

There is no good way to solve this embarrassing situation, and that is to continue gambling. If you can win a lot of silver, you will be able to survive this time. When Kangtai returns, that kind of chic days can continue.

Tang Haitai doesn't have silver as the capital, and pushing pai gow looks very exciting, but the silver goes fast and comes quickly. If you don't have the capital, don't think about it lasting, maybe the few taels of silver on your body will disappear in an instant.

After thinking about it, Tang Haitai made a bold choice. Borrow money in the casino.

There is a special loan in the casino, this situation, hundreds of years later, people can not lend casually, the interest is very high, and within the specified time, you must repay the silver, otherwise no matter what your identity, they can think of a way, even if Tang Haitai is an official of the governor's yamen, people can also think of a way, at least they will clean you up fiercely, ask you to change the silver, or directly find the governor to repay the debt, this is not a verbose thing.

Tang Haitai should understand this, but unfortunately he has no other way but to let go, besides, he is not ready to borrow a lot of silver.

For two consecutive days, Tang Haitai stayed in the casino, eating and living here, anyway, there is no need to go to the governor's yamen to order Mao, there is not much to worry about, but unfortunately in these two days, Tang Haitai's luck is very bad, he lost a hundred taels of silver, these silver, are borrowed from the casino lenders, need to pay five taels of silver interest every day, from the time of leaving the casino, Tang Haitai is actually not very big betting, but unconsciously Tang Haitai, every day noticed, he has been deeply involved in gambling, It's hard to pull it out.

After being penniless, Tang Haitai returned to the governor's yamen.

After resting for a day, Tang Haitai was not convinced, thinking that his luck was by no means like this, and he would definitely be able to win money.

Without any silver, it is impossible to go to the casino, and he still owes money to the lender, Tang Haitai thought of borrowing silver, and the officials of the governor's yamen still have silver, so Tang Haitai found a reason, saying that he was going to invest in the shop, and found the governor's yamen's colleagues to borrow silver, and the governor's yamen's colleagues, because of the situation, still lent Tang Haitai silver, and in one day, Tang Haitai borrowed five hundred taels of silver, which was not a small amount.

With five hundred taels of silver, Tang Haitai returned to the casino and gave the lender one hundred and ten taels of silver, and with nearly four hundred taels of silver left, Tang Haitai began to gamble again.

By this time, Tang Haitai had become an out-and-out gambler.

This time the luck was even worse, and in less than a day, all the silver was lost.

Tang Haitai was anxious, the five hundred taels of silver needed to be repaid, they were all colleagues of the governor's yamen, the purpose of borrowing the silver was to think that he could win money, and he went back penniless, how to explain to his colleagues, if the governor knew about this matter, what should he do, it is very likely that he will be stripped of his official position, the imperial court clearly prohibits officials from gambling, although no one will investigate this matter, but it is really implemented, he has no background, no backer, and it is very likely to be punished.

Tang Haitai, who was anxious, couldn't care about anything, and the person who wanted to lend money borrowed money.

For three days and three nights, Tang Haitai did not leave the casino.

By the time he left the casino with red eyes, his heart was already cold, this time he gambled big, borrowed 10,000 taels of silver, all of which were lost cleanly, in exchange for before, 10,000 taels of silver, nothing more, the tribute of silver is far more than this amount, the silver he squandered every year, there are tens of thousands of taels, but now the situation is different, 10,000 taels of silver, the daily interest is 300 taels, this is still the lender for the sake of being an official of the governor's yamen, willing to come down less.

Tang Haitai couldn't come up with 10,000 taels of silver, nor could he take out the interest of 300 taels a day, and there was no way to repay the silver he borrowed from his colleagues in the governor's yamen.

Growing so big, Tang Haitai felt hopeless for the first time.

He walked aimlessly, and before he knew it, he had come to the front of Kangtai's shop.

Coincidentally, Kang Tai had just come back and met the two at the door.

"Oh, what's wrong with Lord Tang, your face is so ugly, go in and sit down."

Seeing Kang Tai, Tang Haitai suddenly had a glimmer of hope, but thinking about taking so much silver from Kang Tai's hands, it was not very likely.

After sitting in the store for less than half an hour, the people sent by the lender had already stood outside the store, and Tang Haitai had borrowed a lot of silver, of course people had to keep an eye on it, otherwise Tang Haitai would run away, and their silver would have been lost.

An hour later, Kang Tai knew everything.

In fact, Kang Tai had already known that all this was arranged by him, he did not leave Ningyuan City at all, and he did not need to leave Ningyuan City, so naturally someone sent the fur to Ningyuan City, where did he need to go out to purchase.

This time, Kang Tai didn't bring up the matter of helping Tang Haitai, and saw that the plan succeeded step by step.

"Lord Tang, why did you lose so much silver, the mortgage man's silver, where is it so easy to get, I can't help you this time, let's hurry up and find a way."

When Tang Haitai returned to the governor's yamen, it was already dark, he didn't dare to see the governor's yamen's colleagues, he also borrowed so much silver from others, although others would not urge him to repay the silver for a few days, but what to do after a long time, the most terrible thing was the 10,000 taels of silver he took from the lender, and the interest of 300 taels of silver per day, so much silver, where could he think of a way to solve it.

After three days of fear, the lender finally spoke, giving Tang Haitai five days, if he couldn't think of a way, the IOU would go to the governor's hand, and when the time came, it would not be as simple as repaying the money.

Tang Haitai was forced to a dead end, and occasionally he thought about dying, but he was really reluctant, he was used to pleasure in the past, and he was reluctant to abandon life.

In desperation, Tang Haitai cheekily came to Kangtai.

Kang Tai has been waiting for Tang Haitai to come to the door, the plan he has set has reached the most critical moment, success or failure is in one fell swoop, of course Tang Haitai can't die, if Tang Haitai dies, all the efforts made in front of him will be in vain.

Kang Tai looked down on Tang Haitai in his heart, he originally thought that it would take at least a few months or even a year to pull Tang Haitai into the water, but what he didn't expect was that in less than two months, Tang Haitai was completely launched.

Kang Tai introduced Tang Haitai into the secret room, changed his face, he clearly told Tang Haitai that in the current situation, he is powerless, the amount of silver is too huge, I am afraid that others will not make a move, and now there is only one way, which is also what he heard others say.

Desperate, Tang Haitai didn't care so much, and hurriedly asked what the road was.

Kang Tai said the words that he had been thinking about saying unhurriedly, and asked Tang Haitai to defect to the Great Qing Kingdom, so that he could ensure that there was enough silver to use.

Tang Haitai almost collapsed to the ground, at this time, no matter how stupid he was, he understood everything, it turned out that what he had encountered for so long was all designed, but at this point, Tang Haitai didn't even have the strength to stand up.

Kang Tai sneered and spoke, the deadline is coming soon, if Tang Haitai is unwilling to do this, then the IOU will soon be in the hands of the governor, and when the time comes, Tang Haitai will lose his official position, not to mention, the family is to buy a house, and the silver must be repaid.

Tang Haitai, who was already spineless, quickly succumbed and accepted Kangtai's arrangement. (To be continued......)
