The Yuan family was defeated twice, and due to Yuan Xu's leading army to intercept, Cao's army never reached Yecheng.

As the Yuan family's governing office, Yecheng is still prosperous!

In the street market, taverns, gambling houses, and women's houses abound.

There was a sound of men and women laughing and silk and bamboo in the female Anju, and the tavern was shouting and drinking, and drunks gathered.

The most lively, of course, is the gambling house.

A gambling house on East Street, the house is not very large, a group of men are crowded in it, and the air is filled with the unpleasant smell of sweat.

There were two clay bowls on the ground, and the man holding the bowls shouted to everyone: "Yang and Yin, bet more and win!" ”

There was a brazier in the house, but the cold air poured in from outside the door blew a lot of heat away.

Most of the men were dressed very thickly, only one was shirtless, and his forehead was still dripping with beads of sweat.

Slapped the stacked copper coins in his hand on the ground and shouted: "Grandma, Lao Tzu doesn't believe in evil!" It's all about the sun. ”

Glancing at the copper coins on the ground, the man covering the bowl said, "Fifth Brother Xu, you have lost a lot today...... If you lose again, I'm afraid that even your mother-in-law will have to bet on it! ”

"Mother-in-law is a lot!" The man glared: "Don't make noise with Lao Tzu, open quickly!" ”

"Is there anything else you can do?" Glancing at everyone, the man with the bowl asked.

Xu Wu lost too much, and everyone refused to follow him, so they bet on Yin one after another.

"Open!" Xu Wuchong covered the bowl and yelled.

"Hurry up!" The crowd followed and shouted.

"Let's go!"

When the pottery bowl was opened, I saw five copper coins placed under the bowl.

Copper coins are divided into yang and yin sides.

When the bowl was revealed, Xu Wu's face suddenly turned like earth, and the others cheered!

"Damn!" Standing up scolding, Xu Wu muttered: "Lao Tzu is back today, it's over, it's ......."

"Brother Xu, slow down!" I didn't take two steps. A man called him.

Looking at this person, Xu Wu said angrily: "What? Could it be that I lost cleanly and came to make fun of me? ”

And those who call him are acquainted with him.

This person's name is Wu Zheng, and he spends all day in the gambling house, and he is also a figure on the ground.

"What did Brother Xu say?" Wu Zheng said with a smile: "The so-called Noji Tailai, I just saw how many bets Brother Xu made." Every one is a miss, and it's time to think about it! ”

Showing his loss, Xu Wu said, "Who said it wasn't!" Can you be unlucky or unlucky to the sky? It's just that there is no money in hand, and it is powerless to get back to the original! ”

"What's the return on investment? Win a lot of money, you have to be satisfied! ”

Wu Zhengzhi's words are just talking about Xu Wuxinkan.

His eyes lit up, and he opened his mouth, but he didn't speak.

"Brother Xu really has no money." Seeing his embarrassed face, Wu Zheng said with a smile: "It's not too late to withdraw money and gamble tomorrow!" ”

Wu Zheng turned to leave. Xu Wu called him to stop.

Wu Zheng turned around, Xu Wu hesitated and said, "Brother Wu, can you borrow some money......

"There's some money." Wu Zheng said embarrassedly: "Brother Xu and I are also familiar with each other, but as the saying goes, relatives must be separated from money......

"As long as Brother Wu is willing to borrow, it will be according to the rules!" Afraid that Wu Zheng would regret it, Xu Wu hurriedly said.

"How much does Brother Xu want to borrow?"

"One hundred copper coins......" Xu Wu didn't dare to borrow more.

He knew Wu Zheng's rules, he borrowed a hundred today, and he had to repay one hundred and twenty tomorrow.

The day after tomorrow. It's one hundred and sixty.

In just three days, he would owe more than two hundred copper coins.

Many gamblers borrowed money from Wu Zheng. In the end, he couldn't afford to pay it back and his wife broke up.

borrowed money from Wu Zheng, and Xu Wu didn't dare to ask for too much.

"One hundred ......" Wu Zheng shook his head contemptuously and smiled: "Brother Xu, is he here to beg?" It has always been a hanging loan to borrow money, how to borrow a hundred copper coins? ”

When Xu Wu and Wu Zheng were talking, two more were opened in the field.

It is a few joys and a few sorrows, those who win are happy, and those who lose sigh and sigh.

Put your heart sideways. Xu Wu said: "If you hang it, you will hang it, and Brother Wu will borrow it!" ”

took a bunch of money and handed it to Xu Wu, and drew a bet with him, and Wu Zheng returned to the inner room of the gambling house.

In the inner room, the man who had met Yuan Kang the night before was sitting upright.

"How?" Wu Zheng entered. The man asked.

"I'm already in the middle of it!" Wu Zheng said: "Borrow him and ask for it after seven days, even if he goes bankrupt, he can't afford to pay back the money!" ”

The man smiled indifferently: "How do you know that he will lose?" ”

"Gambling and cheating." Wu Zheng smiled: "I want him to lose, he will lose!" ”

The man didn't say anything more, just waited for news in the house.

Re-betting, Xu Wu won two small wins at first.

Feeling good luck and turning back, he became more and more bold, and of course he bet more and more copper coins.

When he didn't bet much, Xu Wu won a few more handfuls.

Feeling that his luck had changed, he made a desperate bet on a lot of copper coins, and when the pottery bowl was overturned, he was suddenly stupid.

Bet on the wrong again!

"Fifth Brother Xu, don't gamble anymore today." The man who pressed the pottery bowl kindly persuaded: "If you lose it all, I'm afraid that I will really bet my mother-in-law ......."

"I still don't believe it!" Licking his lips, the green tendons on his forehead bulged, Xu Wu put all the last copper coins on it: "Open it again!" ”

The result, of course, was not in suspense, and he lost again!

"Where is Wu Zheng?" Losing his eyes, he asked the man behind him.

in the inner chamber.

Hearing Xu Wu shouting outside, Wu Zheng smiled and said, "This person is looking for a certain person, he should want to borrow money again!" ”

"Lend it to him." The man who arranged the matter said: "The more he borrows, the less time he will have to wait!" ”

Wu Zheng answered the call and walked out of the inner room.

In just one afternoon, Xu Wu borrowed nine copper coins from Wu Zheng.

The tenth time he spoke, Wu Zheng was already unwilling to lend him any more, Xu Wu begged with a bitter face: "Brother Wu, borrow some more ......"

"Nine copper coins, Brother Xu also knows how much he has to pay back tomorrow." Wu Zheng said: "I have money, but I'm afraid that Brother Xu can't afford to pay it back!" ”

When it came to gambling, Xu Wu was already red-eyed, where did he remember that he had borrowed copper money nine times.

Wu Zheng shook the nine IOUs in front of him: "Brother Xu, I said earlier that although they are familiar with each other's money, they can't be sloppy......"

Looking at the IOU, Xu Wu's face was like ashes, and he opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

"Brother Xu, please go back!" Wu Zheng waved his hand: "Please return the money tomorrow!" ”

Walking out of the gambling house in despair, Xu Wu even had the heart to die.

Nine hanging copper coins, the people with a solid family background, the whole family needs only two or three hangs a year.

He lost three years of family in one afternoon!

What's more, the dividends are amazing, just a few days apart, and the arrears will be so much that he can't pay them off in his life!

Walking along the street in despair, Xu Wu couldn't hear the hustle and bustle of the market at all, and his mind was full of how to pay off his gambling debts!

The inner room of the gambling house.

Wu Zheng was returning, and the man in the house asked, "Gone?" ”

"Gone!"

"How much did you borrow?"

"Nine hangings!"

"I'll ask him for it tomorrow!"

"Don't worry!" Wu Zheng said: "It will definitely force him to the point of desperation, and all thoughts will be lost!" (To be continued.) )
