Chapter 35: The Seven Golden Dice (I)
Originally, it was just a trivial matter of a few hundred yuan, but it was said by Ye Fan to be a fatal matter, listening to Ye Fan's meaning, it seems that all thieves and thieves don't go to other people's homes, just like his family, if this house is not given to him in vain, it is as if he is sorry for the eight ancestors of Ye Fan's family.
"Alright, alright! I agreed, just 300 yuan less for you! Lao Zhang waved his hand weakly, he knew that he would not look at the face of the old king, but now it is good, 1,005 is reduced to 1,002, and the transaction of 1,002 has been negotiated to 700 yuan, and it is not wronged!
It seems that it is still not the low price of this little old man, and this price should be even lower, Ye Fan sneered.
"What are the predecessors talking about, you get what you pay for, let's start from the actual situation and it is the best, what price it should be, what price it is, don't cheat me, I won't harm you."
The words "penny and penny" Lao Zhang listened to a little painful, if it was really calculated like this, it would be good if his house could be exchanged for two baked cakes, and he was expecting to exchange money, but there was no door!
"What, brother, don't you think it's appropriate to be three hundred yuan cheaper?" Lao Zhang asked with a smile. "I said Lao Zhangtou, the younger generation came to buy your dilapidated house sincerely, but you have such an attitude, isn't it a little unkind!" Ye Fan leaned back, leaning on the big tree.
Ye Fan's bargaining method made the old Wang Tou and Xiao Fluttershy a little stunned, although the words were a little too much, but after thinking about it, they couldn't find anything wrong, what they said was very reasonable, it was still good to learn more culture, the old Wang Tou thought that he was flamboyant and had a lot of eyes, but compared to Ye Fan, the difference was not half a star, he would definitely not cut the price in half at once, it would be good to be able to give Ye Fan a discount of three hundred yuan.
And Fluttershy comes from a martial arts family, and this kind of behavior of small merchants and vendors in the market who talk about good profits is simply disdainful of learning, but looking at Ye Fan's way of talking about the price, not to mention that from the side, this man still has a bit of a dashing taste.
"I think you can give me another three hundred dollars cheaper!"
"Three hundred cheaper!" At this moment, Lao Zhang couldn't sit still at all, no matter how cheap it was, he didn't have to expect to do anything else after he fished his son out of prison, just go directly to the street to drink the northwest wind, and he didn't want to smoke the big cigarette.
Lao Zhang gritted his teeth and decided to tell Ye Fan a secret.
"Brother, take a step to speak." Lao Zhang pulled Ye Fan aside, and seeing that Old Wang Tou and Fluttershy didn't follow, he whispered to Ye Fan.
"Brother Ye, presumably the origin of this house, the old king should have told you, right?"
"Yes, the old king did tell me."
There is nothing to hide about this, Ye Fan doesn't believe it, when he buys the house, Lao Wang Tou will still be able to communicate with Lao Zhang in the future, if the two of them meet in the future and are not enemies of life and death, then they should also be like passers-by, which tells him that it is okay. Even if he doesn't want this house, Ye Fan will not suffer, anyway, there are so many beggars helping disciples, it is not difficult to find a house, and he doesn't have to hang himself on this crooked neck tree.
"There is another secret in this house, presumably Brother Ye has not heard of it, of course, this old king will not know, but the old man can guarantee that there will be no second person in this world who knows this secret except me!" Lao Zhang patted his chest and reassured.
Although I don't have much affection for Lao Zhangtou, it doesn't hurt to listen to the story, and when the time comes, if I sell this house, there will be a reason for this.
"Let's talk about it, if I'm interested, maybe I'll increase the price, if I'm not interested, I won't add a penny even if you say it!"
"Hey, hey! You can rest assured, the old man assures you that this secret will be of interest to you! The builder of this house is Li Hongzhang, you should know, in fact, my identity is far from as simple as it seems. ”
"Oh?"
Ye Fan glanced at Lao Zhangtou, he looked ugly, dressed sloppily, and had a vain figure, looking like he had overindulged in lust when he was a child.
"Could it be that you are Li Hongzhang's reincarnation? Or a relative of Galeries Lafayette? ”
"No, no, no! You're thinking too much! Lao Zhang Shen continued mysteriously.
"Legend has it that Li Hongzhang retreated here with the Huai army, built these rooms, and placed hundreds of thousands of gold, silver and jewelry here together, in case of going out in the future, with these jewels to make a comeback, and then the Qing reinforcements arrived, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was beaten out of Shanghai Beach, and later Li Hongzhang sang to engage in the Westernization Movement, and then took out this batch of jewels, but the more than 50 Huai soldiers who came to take the jewels all died unexpectedly within a year."
"What are you talking to me about! Did it work? ”
Ye Fan pretended to be impatient and said, the story is well told, but after listening to it for so long, this is still a prelude, and it has not turned to the theme.
"Don't worry, listen to me!"
Lao Zhang hurriedly comforted Ye Fan, young people are good at everything, but they can't settle down, and they still have to learn from their predecessors.
"Dare to ask, Brother Ye, do you know the story of the Seven Golden Dice?"
Lao Zhang didn't go on, but asked about Ye Fanlai.
"Golden dice? Haven't heard of it! "Although Ye Fan has been gambling since elementary school, he has never heard of the story of the golden dice.
"Then the old man will tell you, according to legend, there is an emperor named Zhu Yuanzhang, and what is the name of a strategist? It seems to be called Liu Bowen, this person is particularly fond of gambling, every time he sends troops to fight, he has to use the dice to bet on luck, if it is big, he will send troops, if it is small, he will not move. Not to mention, Zhu Yuanzhang has not lost a battle since he listened to this person's words, and later Zhu Yuanzhang became the emperor, and his heart has changed.
Liu Bowen was also afraid, so he proposed to Zhu Yuanzhang to resign and go home, but Zhu Yuanzhang was too suspicious, and always felt that Liu Bowen would turn against him when he went home, so he secretly sent someone to kill him, and Zhu Yuanzhang regretted it after killing, but people can't be resurrected after death, in order to commemorate Liu Bowen, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered someone to create seven golden dice, and melted the seven iron dice used by Liu Bowen during his lifetime.
These seven dice are enshrined in the ancestral shrine, and they are used for divination every time they march and fight. Zhu Yuanzhang assigned the vassal king and gave these five dice to Zhu Di, the king of Yan, and later Zhu Di became the Yongle Emperor. ”
"Wait a minute! Since this dice is so powerful, why is the Ming Dynasty still dead? Lao Zhang said that this golden dice is miraculous, but it is still an indisputable fact that the Ming Dynasty died.
"Listen to me! Yanwang Zhu Di only got five dice, and the other two were in the hands of Emperor Jianwen, although the two dice could not protect Emperor Jianwen, but they were enough to save Emperor Jianwen's life!
Later, Zheng He went to the West seven times to find the two missing dice. Although there are only five, it is enough to keep the Ming Dynasty unshaken, but what I didn't expect is that later out of the Ming Yingzong, sent troops to the Tatars, and also gave a divination, the result was a small, but still rashly sent troops, and finally was killed by the Tatars in the civil fort A big defeat, he was also captured, and the two dice he carried with him were also missing in the war, and the last three dice barely kept the remaining hundred years of the Ming Dynasty.
Until the eunuch Wei Zhongxian took power, all three dice fell into his hands, and he grasped the power of the Ming Dynasty, and later when Emperor Chongzhen got rid of Wei Zhongxian, all three dice disappeared, and the Qing soldiers did not get back until they entered the customs, and the reason for the three massacres of the Qing soldiers in Jiading was not only because the local people did not obey the orders of the Qing army, but also for a more important reason, the regent Dolgon suspected that a golden dice were in Jiading.
Later, Kangxi's Weifu private search and Qianlong's seven trips to Jiangnan were also to find the whereabouts of the golden dice. ”
