Chapter 725: Old Qian
On the way to inform the inner courtyard of the gambling house, a group of people were gathered on a table of eight immortals. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info This table is playing dominoes, and the comparison is still the size. One of them is skinny, swertied, and mouse-eyed, but he has a god.
He carefully flipped through the dominoes in his hand, squinting nervously with one eye to see the number of dominoes. The beads of sweat the size of beans fell on his head drop by drop, and his expression was as pious as the most believing girl.
I saw this man clasping his hands together, muttering words in his mouth, and not knowing what he was muttering. When the dominoes were opened, the man's face instantly turned extremely pale, and his hands trembled like chaff.
"Your Excellency?" Yan Qi suddenly found that Xu Liang was not leaving, and couldn't help but remind him.
Xu Liang retracted his gaze, nodded slowly, and followed Yan Qi into a spacious room in the inner courtyard. The gambling house steward, who had already been informed, carefully served tea.
Yan Qi accompanied the smiling face, and explained in a loud voice: "My lord, this gambling house is also an industry that has just been taken over, and it has not had time to rectify it, so everything looks the same." Immediately, Yan Qi patted his chest and said: "But don't worry, as long as you give your subordinates half a month, your subordinates will guarantee that they will definitely present a new gambling house to your adults." The specifications and grades are definitely among the best in the entire Beijing Division. ”
Xu Liang nodded slowly, and then asked: "Yan Qi, although I have not been in contact with the gambling house business, I also know that there will be some interested dealers in any larger field. I don't know who the most beneficial dealer in our gambling house is, you take him out and let the official take a look. ”
Yan Qi listened, but his expression was very embarrassed, and he said hesitantly: "Cough, my lord, I won't tell you, there is indeed this unwritten rule circulating in the gambling house, but you have also seen that this wealth workshop was newly acquired by Liang Ji, and the dealers who originally stayed in it heard that the gambling house had changed hands, and they all ran away." My subordinates are also worrying about these things these days. But don't worry, as long as you give your subordinates half a month, uh no, ten days, as long as ten days, your subordinates will definitely invite the No. 1 dealer in the capital to come. ”
When Xu Liang heard this, he shook his head slowly, with a regretful expression: "Yan master, the time does not allow this official to do this." In this case, the official does not require the person's skill to be skilled, you can call all the dealers in this gambling house, and the official will pick one. ”
When Yan Qi heard this, his face turned pale, and he was stunned for a long time, and finally reluctantly admitted: "My lord forgives my sins, and there is not a single dealer sitting in the gambling house at the moment......"
"Not one?" Xu Liang asked in disbelief and in shock.
"Not one, indeed." Yan Qi reluctantly admitted.
Xu Liang was angry: "It's just such a gambling house that is extremely damaged, what are you doing when you take over Yan Qi?" Dismantled when the warehouse is used? ”
Yan Qi replied very innocently: "Originally, my subordinates didn't look down on this small gambling house, but the owner of this gambling house gave us Liang Ji a lot of debts, and the old master couldn't do anything, so he folded this gambling house to Liang Ji and used materials to offset the gambling debts." ”
When Xu Liang heard this, he couldn't help but feel disappointed, he originally wanted to find a person who could be of great use in this gambling house, but now it seems that the small gambling house must be a small gambling house, and the lack of talent is at stake.
Xu Liang's expression was lost, he got up, and didn't even have time to take a sip of the steaming tea in front of him, so he said to Yan Qi: "I really didn't expect our gambling house to be so sluggish. Forget it, Shopkeeper Yan, you can take Young Master Ben to other gambling houses to have a look. ”
Yan Qi was so ashamed that he reluctantly gave up.
At this moment, there was a rush of argument outside the door, and then the door was opened, and the two of them walked in with one of them.
"Lao Tzu behaves rightly, stands upright, has a dignified character, and has first-class gambling products, you dare to frame me for being a thousand?! It's an insult! A lean, lanky man in a blue shirt shouted angrily.
Xu Liang couldn't help but glance at this person, and saw that this person was the person who had played dominoes at a table before.
Xu Liang couldn't help but be stunned, and asked Yan Qi, "Shopkeeper Yan, what's going on?" ”
Shopkeeper Yan looked at the person, then sneered, and arched his hand at Xu Liang: "Young master, don't care, this person's name is Chai Lao Liu, and he is a habitual offender!" I've been caught three times by our guys. ”
The lean man who was held by two strong sweaters was very unconvinced and retorted: "Hey, hey, who do you say is the boss?" I won Chai Lao Liu, and it was all because of my superb gambling skills! ”
Seeing Xu Liang's thoughtful expression on his face, Yan Qi couldn't help but feel a sudden burst in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Your Excellency doesn't have to listen to him messing around, this Chai Lao Liu's reputation has spread throughout the gambling world of the entire Jingshi, and now almost no gambling house is willing to accept Chai Lao Liu to gamble." ”
"I, I didn't come out of the way, I relied on my own strength. Shopkeeper Yan, don't frame me! The old man shouted angrily.
Xu Liang had a playful look on his face.
Seeing this, Yan Qi felt that it was a simple matter because that Chai Lao Liu was immortal when Xu Liang came to the gambling house, and let his subordinates catch him, which really swept Xu Liang's face.
Originally, he wanted to let Chai Lao Liu and his horse go, but he didn't think that Chai Lao Liu was still unconvinced, and Yan Qi was immediately angry. nodded coldly: "You said you didn't come out of the old man?" Okay, okay, I'll let you see it today! After that, Yan Qi said fiercely: "Turn it over to me!" ”
"Hey, hey, what are you doing?!" That Chai Lao Liu suddenly lost his color.
The accompanying guards were not cold at all. After listening to Yan Qi's words, he neatly lifted the old six firewood in mid-air like an upside-down onion, with his head down.
Shake it twice! Then I heard a clanging sound. Immediately, more than two dozen domino cards fell from Nachai Lao Liu! Xu Liang's eyes straightened, why didn't he see it before, someone actually knew dominoes, and he also played new tricks!
As more than a dozen dominoes shook off, three dice also fell out, and Ling Jiao was so grinding that he couldn't see the edges clearly, and he had obviously carried it on his body for some time.
Yan Qifu picked up a few dominoes and dice from the ground, and shouted angrily: "You still say that you are not out of the old man, look, what is this?" ”
Old man Chai suddenly turned red, and defended in a curtive manner: "I, why can't I play when I'm okay with me?" ”
Yan Qi felt that he had lost face in front of Xu Liang and lost face, so he said angrily: "Hugh has to quibble!" Chai Lao Liu, this is the third time, the two times before the people in the workshop caught you out of the old thousand, Lao Tzu took pity on you, and he didn't pursue it, this is the third time! There are no more than three things! Chai Lao Liu, you don't change your dead nature, and don't blame Yan's subordinates for not being merciful. Someone, chop off these two paws of this man! ”
When Chai Lao Liu heard this, Yan Qi actually wanted to chop off his hands, and his face was suddenly frightened, and he shouted in a panic: "Master Yan spare his life!" I, I don't dare anymore! ”
Yan Qi shouted angrily: "It's only now that I think of begging for mercy, isn't it too late for you?" ”
Seeing this, Chai Lao Liu immediately pretended to be his grandson, and begged bitterly: "Master Yan, as long as you let me go this time, I will be a cow and a horse in the next life, and I, Chai Lao Liu, will not forget your goodness!" ”
"Yan doesn't need it." Yan Qi snorted coldly.
As soon as Chai Lao Liu heard this, Yan Qi actually didn't eat it softly and hard, and his face suddenly collapsed.
Seeing that the two thugs of the casino were about to go down with Chai Lao Liu, and Chai Lao Liu's hands were about to be chopped off, Xu Liang suddenly spoke up.
"Wait."
Yan Qi was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xu Liang in surprise, "My lord? ”
Xu Liang smiled slightly, looked Chai Lao Liu up and down, waved his hand at Yan Qi and said, "Give me this person, I'm very interested in this person." ”
When Xu Liang spoke like this, Yan Qi naturally didn't dare to refute, and carefully reminded: "Young master, be careful, this Chai Lao Liu is slippery, but he is cunning!" ”
Xu Liang looked at this person, his eyes lit up, as if he had found something interesting, and immediately, Xu Liang drove Yan Qi and the others out of the house, leaving only Chai Lao Liu.
Half an hour later, the door opened again. Xu Liang smiled and looked relieved. On the other hand, Chai Lao Liu, his face was beaming, and he didn't know how many benefits Xu Liang's kung fu had promised Chai Lao Liu at that time, so that Chai Lao Liu could be happy like this.
As soon as Xu Liang and Chai Lao Liu appeared, Yan Qi greeted them and asked cautiously, "Young Master?" ”
Xu Liang waved his hand and said to Yan Qi: "I heard that Chai Lao Liu owed a lot of debts to the gambling house before?" ”
Yan Qi nodded, "I heard from the people below, this person has some gambling debts. ”
Xu Liang waved his hand very simply: "In the future, all of this person's gambling debts will be settled, and the gambling house will not trouble Chai Lao Liu again." ”
Yan Qi was stunned for a moment, and when he saw Chai Lao Liu standing beside Xu Liang, with a villain on his face, he couldn't help but be angry. However, since Xu Liang was standing in front of him, Yan Qi couldn't disobey Xu Liang's intentions, and responded sullenly.
When Xu Liang saw this, he was very satisfied. Chao Yanqi said: "Okay, it's worth it for me to come to you." I went back to the Dongjiang Annex. Shopkeeper Yan, I'll tidy up this gambling house and raise the specifications a little higher. ”
Yan Qi bowed and said, "My subordinates receive orders." ”
Xu Liang immediately said goodbye to Yan Qi and took Chai Lao Liu all the way to the Dongjiang Courtyard. When they arrived at the Dongjiang Courtyard, Xu Liang and the others had just come up, and they heard a miserable cry in front of them.
"Woo...... Master Xu, you can be regarded as back! The voice was miserable, as if I had been bullied a thousand times, which was sad.
Xu Liang was taken aback, and said secretly: Who is this, in broad daylight, screaming so miserably? stared at it, only to see a young eunuch kneeling at the door of the Dongjiang Courtyard, looking at Xu Liang miserably, and behind the eunuch, kneeling side by side four warriors dressed as palace guards.
Xu Liang recognized this little eunuch, it was Luo Bing, the little eunuch who came to invite Xu to enter the palace on the day of the accident in the palace.
"Yo, isn't this Grandpa Luo? What's going on? How did you kneel? Hurry up, hurry up, you have such a big pomp, I Xu Liang can't afford it. Xu Liang quipped.
Gonggong Luo wanted to die, and shouted with a bitter face: "Lord Xu, don't bury the small ones." It's a small one who doesn't know Mount Tai and offends you old. Damn the little ones. Please also ask the adults not to remember the villain, and spare the little one this time. ”
"Yo, why can't I understand what Grandpa Luo said? I didn't tell my father-in-law what happened to you, did I? Xu Liang asked in surprise.
Father-in-law Luo is also a clever person, seeing this, he knew that Xu Liang would not easily spare himself and others if he didn't see any dry goods. So he dared to take out a thick envelope from his underwear pocket, presented it to Xu Liang tremblingly, and said with a smile: "Lord Xu, please see, the small one collided with the adult before, and the 50,000 taels of silver tickets on Lord Xu's body were greedily inked, and now I return it to Lord Xu, please take a look at it." ”
Xu Liang smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to take it, looked at it slightly, then took out a few casually, about 10,000 taels of silver tickets, threw them to Chai Lao Liu beside him, and said boldly: "This is for you." ”
Chai Lao Liu's eyes lit up suddenly, thanked him repeatedly, and put it away happily.
Grandpa Luo and the four guards were dripping blood when they saw it.
Xu Liang said in a lazy tone and asked, "Grandpa Luo, this number is a little wrong." The official remembers that the silver tickets you collected from the official were as many as 70,000 taels. Now I have only paid back 50,000 taels, so what about the remaining 20,000 taels? ”
Father-in-law Luo's face suddenly became more bitter than Huang Lian, and he begged and forged again: "Lord Xu, don't laugh, the little one has only collected less than 10,000 taels of silver tickets from adults, how can he say 70,000 taels." These 50,000 taels are also pieced together by the small ones and the four guards who went bankrupt, and the extra power should be a piece of filial piety from the small ones to Lord Xu...... As for the rest, it's just a non-existent thing......"
Xu Liang changed color in disbelief, and shouted angrily: "What does Gonggong Luo mean by this? Could it be that this official will frame you as a little celebrant eunuch?! Seventy thousand taels, but at the beginning, the official said it in front of the emperor, Xu Ge Lao, Sun Ge Lao, and the prince. The emperor also asserted at that time that he would return the lost silver tickets. How did it come to Gonggong Luo, and the number became 50,000 taels?! Didn't my father-in-law deceive me that Xu Liang didn't read much and didn't know the numbers? ”
Father-in-law Luo suddenly felt that his heart was even more bitter than eating the yellow lotus, and he bowed his hand to Xu Liang again and again: "Lord Xu, my Lord Xu, the small one is bankrupt, and he can barely make up the number of 50,000 taels, and the rest is really gone." If you don't believe me, you can ask the four guards. ”
Xu Liang looked at the four guards.
The guards glanced at each other, and soon betrayed Gonggong Luo.
"Master Xu Mingjian. The four of us brothers got less than 2,000 taels of silver tickets from Grandpa Luo, and the four of us have already scraped together 20,000 taels to Grandpa Luo, which is also the largest amount that the four of us brothers can bear. As for the whereabouts of the other silver tickets that Lord Xu said, this, this really has nothing to do with the four of us, and please ask Lord Xu to find out. ”
When Xu Liang heard this, he immediately laughed heartily, looked at the four guards, nodded slightly, and said, "You four are also sincere, well, since the silver ticket has been returned, it will not be difficult for the official to dare to fuck you off." ”
When the four guards heard this, they were pardoned, and in a blink of an eye they disappeared.
Xu Liang immediately looked at Father-in-law Luo with a sneer, and sneered: "Father-in-law, now we have to settle the old account between you and me!" ”
Father-in-law Luo was so frightened that he almost peed his pants, and just kowtowed in panic: "Lord Xu spares his life!" (To be continued.) )
