"Huh?" Hearing the case of the Longmen Club mentioned at the adjacent table, Yue Su's ears immediately stood up, but when he heard the man say that he had lost three hundred taels of silver, he was stunned and secretly wondered what this Longmen Club had to do with them, and he had to lose the silver. However, Yue Su's reaction was so fast, he immediately understood that this must be someone setting up a bet on the periphery.

Then, I heard the man who asked him before say: "Don't take it to heart about counting money, in Kaifeng City, whoever bets on the Longmen Society, who doesn't lose money, I also lost twenty taels of silver." These days, how does my wife see how I am unpleasant, and I lose my temper from time to time, you should also hurry home, admit your mistake to my sister-in-law, and let her scold her to dissipate her anger, that is. What I want to tell you is not about this, but about poisoning Zhang Xiang's murderer. ”

"I've heard about it." The man surnamed Sun said: "Hasn't the murderer been arrested, it's Wei Hanming of Longmen Academy, this bastard, he really hates people, he wants to poison Zhang Xiang, he can't be a few days earlier, he has to rush this juncture." This kid, the killing of the head is light, according to my will, I should divide the corpses of the five horses, otherwise how to dissipate the anger in my heart. ”

"I'm afraid that the anger in your heart can't be dissipated, two days ago I said that Yue Qingtian was here, and I suspect that there are a lot of cases, and I want to retry this case. I heard from a friend who worked on an errand in the yamen that everyone had already mentioned the governor. ”

"Ah...... This case has alarmed 'Yue Shaving his head', and when I heard about the case he interrogated, there was no trial or invitation. If he says there are doubts in this case, then there must be doubts. Grandma's, I think there's a ghost in it. ”

"Brother Sun, you just said that Wei Hanming should be divided into five horses, why do you say that there are ghosts inside, what are you thinking?"

"What do you think? You say what you can think. In the past few years, the Longmen Society, every year is Dongming Academy wins, this year said that Dongming Academy came to a great talent, what is the first in the academy exam, I also sent someone to ask, it is indeed the case, so I made a heavy bet to buy Dongming Academy. I think the same as me, there are not a few, I heard that Master Wang, who is facing the street, bought two thousand taels of Dongming Academy at once and won. How could this matter be so coincidental, Zhang Xiang was poisoned and died as soon as Wei Hanming won. Since there is a dead person, the Longmen Association should be over, and it is okay to sentence the two families to a draw, but why do you have to fight again the next day, Wei Hanming, who has already lost, will be allowed to come to power, and he will be arrested and imprisoned until the Longmen Academy wins. If it's not a little greasy, who the believes it. ”

Even ordinary people can see that there is something strange in it, after hearing this, how could Yue Su not see this layer, and said secretly in his heart: "It turns out that there is such a thing, if you don't go out, you hear that Longmen will involve gambling, where to find this murderer." I think there are ** out of ten, the problem lies in gambling, this group of people are hundreds of thousands of taels of gambling, and it is reasonable to kill people for this. "You know, it's not uncommon to kill people for a hundred taels of silver these days, let alone gambling with such a large amount.

With clues in this regard, Yue Su suddenly became enlightened, had dinner with the women, and returned to Xingyuan. After going back, he immediately went to see Wei Hanming to find out if the situation at the Longmen meeting was consistent with what the two people in the restaurant said.

Wei Hanming did not hide it and told the truth truthfully. It turned out that after Yue Su left, he also made a temporary truce and dealt with Zhang Xiang's affairs first. However, how can the murderer be so easy to catch, he worked hard for a day, and no suspicious person was found, but the Longmen Club could not be so unhappy, and the total score was the winner, and after the discussion of the two academicians, it was decided to compare again the next day. The students who had already lost thought that they would not have a chance to take the stage again, but when they were in the competition, they announced that the victory and defeat of yesterday were invalid and they had to start over. Without Zhang Xiang, Wei Hanming was the leader, and with his own strength, he defeated Dongming Academy.

The reconvening of the Dragon Gate Meeting is also reasonable, at least it is an annual event, and it can't be broken up because of the death of a person. However, I don't know who brought it up after yesterday's victory or defeat, and it seems that this matter should be investigated and then the goal should be determined.

But for now, Zhang Xiang's death will obviously be of great benefit to both kinds of people. The first is naturally the casino, listening to what the man surnamed Sun said, almost everyone is optimistic about Dongming Academy winning; The second type is the person who bets heavily to buy Longmen Academy to win.

Either way, it's easy to find people out.

At that moment, Yue Su asked Wei Hanming to have a good rest, left his room, and then called someone to pass the word and call Shi Tong to come to the house.

The governor summoned him, how dare Shi Tong slack off, get the news, and come immediately. Yue Su met in the front hall, and after the meeting, he described the etiquette and politely said two words, and Yue Su went straight to the topic.

"Lord Shi, the headquarters of the Longmen Society was present in person, but there are many twists and turns, and the headquarters and institutes left first, I don't know what the situation will be after the meeting, can the two academies continue to compete?"

"If you go back to your lordship, although there are dead people at the scene, the Longmen Club is a grand event after all, and it can't end hastily, so the lower officials let them retry the second time. As a result, Longmen Academy was victorious. ”

"Dongming Academy doesn't have Sun Shangshu in charge, I think the scholars in the academy should be outstanding, how can they lose to Longmen Academy?" Yue Su asked with a smile.

"Longmen Academy is indeed full of talents, how can Wei Hanming of Longmen Academy really have something outstanding, as soon as Zhang Xiang died, no one could suppress him, making him laugh to the end. It can also be seen that Wei Hanming is really suspected of poisoning Zhang Xiang. When Shi Tong said this, he didn't forget to distinguish two sentences about the matter of being beaten into a trick.

Yue Su didn't pay attention to this, and deliberately asked: "Wasn't Wei Hanming defeated by Zhang Xiang in the ring, why did he compete on the stage again?" ”

"This matter is also a decision discussed by the big guys, because in the previous competition, many students on both sides have been defeated, if only the remaining students are allowed to compete the next day, it is estimated that the competition will be completed in less than half a day, so the defeated students can only be allowed to come to the stage again."

This answer is reasonable, and Yue Su also knows that scholars are humble on the surface, but in fact they are arrogant, even if they lose, some are not convinced, and they always want to be ashamed. Let them get back on stage, and they will be even more energetic.

That way, it doesn't seem like a problem. Yue Su pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Master Shi, I heard that when the Longmen Club was held, there were casinos betting on the victory or defeat of the two academies, I wonder if there is such a thing?" ”

Gambling is not illegal these days, Shi Tong naturally will not hide it, and said: "The specific situation, the lower officials are not very clear, but I heard that there is such a thing." ”

"But I don't know how many casinos there are in Luoyang City?" Yue Su continued to ask.

"There are twelve of them on the record." Shi Tong said truthfully.

"Send someone to call all the owners of these twelve casinos now, along with the account books of the casinos."

"This ......" After hearing this, Shi Tong's face showed embarrassment.

Yue Su saw it clearly and asked, "Master Shi, is there anything wrong?" ”

"Don't hide it, among the twelve casinos, the owners of ten casinos are easy to invite, but the other two, I'm afraid they won't move. Because, one family is a thousand years old of King Fu, and the other is Zhang Guozhang's. Shi Tong said cautiously.

It has a relationship with both of them. Yue Su thought to himself, this prince and the prince will make money, sell rice, and open casinos, it is estimated that there should be other transactions.

However, Yue Su didn't ask much, only said: "The two of them, if you don't come, please don't come, but the manager of the casino has to be called, and the important thing is the account book, which must be brought." ”

After speaking, Yue Su shouted loudly again: "Come on, call the golden cicada in." ”

After a while, Jin Cicada walked in, bowed down and said, "My lord, I don't know what you command. ”

"You take someone to follow Master Shi's subordinates, invite the owner of the casino in the city, or the steward, and get the account books of the casino. If anyone refuses, tell them that this is official business, and whoever dares to obstruct it will not be spared by this department. ”

"Yes, sir."

Shi Tong saw that Yue Su had already given an order, so he could only obey the order, take Jin Chan back to Yamen first, and then send a messenger to lead the people of Jin Chan to invite people from one casino to another and get the account book. These casino owners, as soon as they heard that it was the person who 'shaved his head', were so frightened that their legs were scared, but whoever dared not to go, they all obediently went to the governor with the account book.

The gambling house of the Fu Wang family is called the Fulai Gambling House, and the Zhang Guozhang family is called the Yunsheng Gambling House, these two are first-class magnates in the city, and the account books of the gambling house are not what others want to see. No matter how domineering you are when you shave your head, this is not Huaiqing, but Luoyang, and it is not your turn to go wild.

And Jin Chan is not an errand officer of the prefect's yamen, if you dare not give it, don't blame me for showing the knife, if you dare to be arrogant, I will dare to really cut you, otherwise the adults will ask me to do something.

The knife was on the neck of the knife, whether it was the people of King Fu or the people of the country, they were all deflated, and everyone understood why several colleagues of Mi Xing would come back in disgrace, it turned out to be really fatal.

When the officials of the prefect's yamen saw this scene, they were all dumbfounded, and they were going to see the jokes, but now they all know that the name 'Yue Shaved Head' was not blown by a strong wind, and even his subordinates were so violent.

The steward honestly took the account book and came to the governor's line with Jin Chan, Yue Su saw that everyone was together, and he didn't talk nonsense with them, and directly asked about the gambling of the Longmen Society.

"At the Dragon Gate Meeting, the two academies competed, about the victory or defeat, have you all set up a game in these casinos?"

These things are clearly written in the account books, and they can't help but admit it, and they all nod their heads to indicate that there is such a thing. However, I was worried that this gambling would not also violate Lord Yue's taboo.

Yue Su then asked: "What kind of gambling method is it, tell me about it with the main department?" ”

"My lord, my casino is won by buying Dongming Academy, eight to ten, and winning by buying Longmen Academy, one to two. It's basically the same in other places. A casino owner said truthfully. The others also nodded their heads, indicating that this was indeed the case.

"Are there more people who buy Dongming Academy, or more people who buy Longmen Academy?" Yue Su asked again.

"In the trumpet, there are many people who buy Dongming Academy, and it can probably reach more than ninety percent, and it is not clear to other families." The casino owner just said honestly. Other people also echoed, saying that there were many people who bought Dongming Academy.

"Who buys how much, and does it all go to the account?" Yue Su finally asked.

"Yes, yes......"

"Okay, you all go back, the account books will be left here in the headquarters for the time being, and after a few days, they will be returned." Yue Su didn't say anything more, and directly sent them away.

Seeing that everyone was not embarrassed, everyone settled down. It's just that I don't understand what Yue Su means by leaving the account book, it won't be because he is short of money, he wants some profit. It's okay to say that, as long as you don't have a head.

This is the mind of the ordinary boss, and he doesn't dare to ask more, but the two stewards of King Fu and the Guozhang family can't help but ask, only to see the steward of the Fulai Gambling House bow down and say: "Lord Yue, you deducted the account books of our gambling house without the consent of my prince, and our prince blames him for this, so how can the little one explain?" ”

The steward of Yunsheng Gambling House also said: "My lord, the same is true for the trumpet, the grandfather of the country asked about it, I really can't explain it, you have to keep it to see, it doesn't matter, but it's best to say hello to our host." ”

Yue Su's answer was even more straightforward, he smiled slightly, and said: "The headquarters is entangled in official business, and there is no time to go to say hello, so when you go back, you will say that it was requisitioned by the headquarters for official purposes." Let's go! ”
