As soon as Wantong took office, his prestige suddenly became like a sky, and there were voices praising him everywhere, and almost everyone was overjoyed by the reward of fifty taels of silver. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Fifty taels of silver, definitely not a few, if it is in some inferior counties, it is enough to buy a good house, but in Beijing, it is enough for one person to squander a year or a large family's abundant food and clothing, especially for those middle and lower class Jinyi Wei, it is more like a long drought and a rainstorm, and people who are grateful to Dade are everywhere.

When the news came out, some people didn't believe it at first, but when they thought of the past deeds of the commander, they gradually believed it, others couldn't take out the money, but there were two people in the Jinyi Guard, one was Liu Chengfeng, needless to say, this guy didn't need to say, and there was another, I'm afraid that it was this Wantong, who was Wantong, that was Wan Guifei's brother-in-law, and it was said that the gold and silver in the family were piled up for decades during the Chenghua period.

As for the source of this news, it was still vague at first, but later, various versions of the rumors also emerged, some said that this was the order of the commander Wan himself, and even said that when the commander Wan said this, he heard it with his own ears, which is true.

Some people swore that the envoy had already called people to the palace to prepare to remove the gold and silver from the treasury, waiting for it to be distributed. What's even more outrageous is that Wan Jia buried a treasure more than ten years ago, and this treasure has more than 10 million gold and silver, which is so generous as this Wan commander.

As a result, Wantong has not only become the focus of thousands of households, but also has become the most popular figure in the entire Jingshi.

When it comes to this 10,000 commander, which one doesn't give a thumbs up, or he says that he is bold, or that he values righteousness over wealth, as for what kind of sympathy for his subordinates, it is needless to say.

The fame of Wantong also made Mu Bin notorious for a while, what he was most afraid of was the comparison, and this comparison can see the clues.

At the same time, in the gambling house, a lot of Jinyi Wei and so on a lot of people came to the house, this Pengyue gambling house is one of the most famous gambling houses in Beijing, covering a huge area, all kinds of gambling equipment, more importantly, it has a backstage.

Open a gambling shop in Beijing, if there are no one or two big people behind it, how can it be done, this Pengyue gambling house is like this, some people who know the details, all know that this shop seems to have some relationship with the Ministry of Works, it is said that the owner is still a relative of the old man, so anyone who comes here to gamble money, no one dares to rely on the account, as for the matter of sprinkling, there is no one, not to mention others, even the military attache and captain of Jinyi Wei.

There are a lot of Jinyi guards here today, and they are very generous in gambling, and those captains who used to only be willing to gamble with copper coins now bring broken silver, and there are also silver tickets.

In a burst of shouting, the dice cup was opened, and then there were countless exclamations or sighs, and then many people came up, and many people shook their heads in dismay, one of them Baihu with two captains, was whispering something, it seemed that his luck was not very good, and he seemed very depressed.

When he arrived at the door of the gambling house, Baihu saw an idler walking in, and when the idler saw him, he immediately smiled and greeted: "Zeng Baihu is also free to come today, what's the matter, the mother-in-law at home was blinded and actually let you slip over." ”

This is called Zeng Baihu's Jinyi Wei glanced at this idle man angrily, but he didn't dare to attack this idler, the idle man is the person in the gambling house, and he is by no means easy to provoke, even his top boss Qianhu is here, and he can't do anything about this gambling house, in other people's land, even Jinyiwei has to be shorter.

Zeng Baihu did lose, lost three taels of silver, half a month of oil and water and silver was squandered by him, as soon as he thought of this, he was a little annoyed, a little dissatisfied in his heart, originally planned to go out of the gambling house, but then his feet could not move, he stopped, glanced at the idler, and then smiled, and said with a smile: "Today's luck is too bad, hey, to tell the truth, this money is stolen from the family, the mother-in-law of the family will find out sooner or later, and then I don't know how many uneasy things will happen." It's better like this, can I borrow some money from you, not much, only five taels is enough, if you turn over the book, pay you back immediately, but if you can't turn over the book, you will definitely be able to repay it after a few days. ”

The idle man clasped his hands and sneered, and said: "Zeng Baihu, what is this, if you have money, you will come to play, if you have no money, it should naturally be stopped, if everyone is like you, this is worth it." But if you want to take out a loan, we also have to follow the rules, you often come here to play, but you also know the rules here, if you win today, it will be good, but what if you lose? How much money do you pay a month, and how much money do you get? It's not that I look down on you, it's just that I want to borrow money, this is a debt with interest on the roll, and if you can't pay it back in a few days, it will be ten taels of silver. ”

In fact, gamblers who come here know that borrowing from this kind of person is the most dangerous, once borrowed, when it is said that it cannot be repaid, and it is not fun to wait until the profit rolls and the donkey rolls down, and some people just borrow a few taels of silver, because they can't pay it back, and in the end the family is not a few. After all, if the casino dares to lend, it is not afraid that you will be able to run away, and if it dares to lend you a hundred households, there will be various ways for you to repay your debts.

In the past, this Zeng Baihu lost the silver, and he would never dare to borrow on credit, after all, no matter how red-eyed, he also knew the power inside, but now his courage is not small, listening to the squeeze of this idler, but he smiled slightly, and said: "Even if you lose today, you can always pay back the account." It will be delivered in a few days, you can rest assured. ”

The idle man was holding his hands and laughing, at this time he had actually moved, lending was his livelihood, since someone came to borrow it must be given, anyway, he was not afraid of running away. It's just that he still couldn't help but chatter: "You said it lightly, I don't know how much money you have in a month, I'm afraid you won't be able to get the money when the time comes." ”

He said, while taking out a stack of rather old silver banknotes from his sleeve, and lit five taels of silver bills to him, this Zeng Baihu was full of confidence, took the silver banknotes, and said with a smile: "You also underestimate people, the contemptible Son of Heaven is pro-army, and it is a hundred household titles, although the luck is not good, this jurisdiction is a little cold, compared to the hundred households in the fireworks alley, the difference is 108,000 miles, but if a few taels of silver are not paid, do you still have the face to live at the feet of the Son of Heaven?" Let's tell you the truth, in a few days, don't say it's three or five taels of silver, even thirty or fifty taels is not a difficult thing. ”

As he spoke, he was already holding the silver bill and couldn't wait to squeeze into the dice table.

This idle man just held his hands, with a sneer on his face, these few days are not only Pengyue Gambling House, almost all the gambling houses in Beijing have a lot of Jinyi Guard, these military attachΓ©s, usually have no hobbies, just a gambling word, in the past, they still came every once in a while, after all, no matter how proud people are, there is not so much silver to spend here, but these days are very different, these people began to come every once in a while, and when they lost money, they borrowed with red eyes, and when they won, they took their partners to squander a lot, Those who sued for loans did not hesitate, and those who won money did not treat money as money, all of them were like a different person.

The idle man heard some rumors, saying that it was these two days, and the Beizhen Mansion Division would reward it, and the hand-tattooed silver of fifty taels would be fifty taels, which was the words of the commander to make the adults put it in person, and it would not be wrong to be **.

In fact, it's no wonder that fifty taels of silver is a huge amount of money, not to mention ordinary people, but it is not a small number for these brocade guards, there is about to have such a large amount of silver in their hands, and it is really not worth mentioning to take out a loan, as long as it can be repaid, who dares to say anything?

But this kind of thing borrowed once will have a second time, just like that party of Zeng Baihu, borrowed five taels of silver into it, less than half an hour and frustrated out, today said to lose so much money, since he was unwilling, and came to find this idler to beg, this idler knows the roots, although he made fun of a few words, but he gave him as much.

There are countless people like Zeng Baihu, and there are countless of them, which has also made the business of these gambling houses prosperous a lot.

In addition to these gambling houses, many Jinyi guards are also a lot more generous than before, originally had to count the money, now I think about it, anyway, there will be a reward money down, and I can't treat myself badly, Suo surname took the surplus money that he usually saved and squandered it, shouting at his partner to eat wine, buy new clothes for his mother-in-law, and the people in the entire Jinyi Wei are all beaming, all of them are like eating honey, the silver is spent, and the brows are not as tight as before, no one is the same, even the tone of speaking, It's also a little thicker than before.

However, there are also some school captains, but they are still in order, pampered and not shocked, these school captains, most of them are fireworks alley hundred households or Jubao Commercial Bank thousands of people, as if the reward has nothing to do with them, how to live today, of course, there is no windfall from heaven.

It's not that they know anything, it's just that when it comes to silver, these people are the richest, and they don't have such a great desire for silver, and fifty taels of silver won't make them lose their temper all at once.

On the side of the Beizhen Mansion Division, some well-intentioned people smelled that something was wrong, and at this time, the inside of Jinyiwei seemed to be full of joy, but under this joy, there seemed to be an undercurrent surging, which made people faintly worried.
