Chapter 146: Bigger than Smaller

Chai Shining looked mysterious, which made Hu Deshen curious.

And after Chai Shining said it, Hu Deshen opened his mouth even wider!

"I also met this prince by chance on the street, and overheard them saying that we had come to buy a large quantity of salt and iron in private...... Later, when I saw them walk into the gambling house, I followed and played a few hands together, and I took the initiative to find a topic ......"

Actually came to Daqi to smuggle salt and iron tools?

Although Hu Deshen is a wine bag and rice bag, he does not know the affairs of the court, but he also knows that there is a shortage of salt and iron in northern Xinjiang!

And it is not possible for people not to eat salt.

Without iron, you can't build a good weapon.

The Great Qi court was very strict in its control over salt and iron, and it was not allowed to buy and sell them privately, and these two things were completely controlled by the state.

It is also forbidden to sell salt and iron to the frontier aliens.

Once someone smuggles these two goods to a foreign race, after being caught, it is a great crime to be beheaded from all over the house.

However, businessmen are profit-oriented, and the stricter the imperial court, the greater the benefits!

In addition, some officials are bought, and there will always be people who are not afraid of death who will take risks and secretly sell salt and iron to northern Xinjiang.

Knowing the purpose of the young man's coming to the capital, Hu Deshen's heart beat violently.

Under the control of the imperial court, the price of salt and iron was very high, so the young man must have brought a large amount of silver!

The money ...... Hu Deshen was excited, if he could win all this money in his hands, then it would be enough for his family to eat and drink for several lifetimes, no, it could still be ......, suddenly, Hu Deshen had a flash of inspiration, this business made by the young man was against the law of Daqi.

Then you can use the government to snatch this silver into your hands.

But Chai Shining's words directly made him dispel his mind.

"He lives here, and then I made an appointment with him to come here to open a gambling game, I never thought that I have been in Changle Gambling House to go unlucky, after meeting this prince, luck is suddenly very good, every gambling will win, a few days down, counting these two thousand taels, there are already seven or eight thousand taels of silver into the account...... Sometimes I want to take advantage of the connections in the palace to get this prince into prison and rob him of his silver, but he can come to the capital to do salt and iron business, and I think there is a way to come......"

Chai Shining's few words made Hu De deeply vigilant, and at the same time dispelled the idea of robbing.

Indeed, how can you come to the capital to do business with these two goods, and you don't have a way?

There are many factions in the DPRK and China, the shili are complicated, and some of them are big shili, and even the emperor is taboo.

The Great Qi court has been peaceful for a long time, and after hundreds of years, I don't know how many super huge families have been born.

Each of these shili has the power to influence the political situation.

In the feudal society, the powerful scholar family has always been a headache for the imperial court, they are large taxpayers, promote the prosperity of the local economy, the children of the clan serve in the court, assist the royal family to govern the world, and it is beneficial to the country, but at the same time, because the shili is too big, it is easy to corrupt and corrupt, and it is difficult to control.

There are even some families in the local area, who are simply soil emperors.

The emperor couldn't intervene.

Although Anle Hou Mansion has the support of Concubine Yue, but in case the young prince wants to do business with a super big shili, but is robbed by Hu Deshen, then Hu Deshen will not be able to eat and walk around.

At that time, not only will the money have to be spit out, but also a lot of money will have to be paid.

However, gambling is different.

Gambling is something you and I want, gambling skills are not good, and if you lose all your money, you deserve it.

Even if the big shili was very dissatisfied, there was no legitimate excuse to attack Hood deeply.

"Brother Xian, my brother happens to be free tomorrow, start a gambling game, count me in."

Chai Shining put on a look of embarrassment when he heard this, "That prince is not very easy to speak, he may not agree." ”

"What, you want to eat alone?"

Hu Deshen immediately sank his face.

Chai Shining hesitated for a moment, and finally turned into a dejected look, "When the time comes, I'll help my brother say a few good words, I think that prince shouldn't mind having one more person to gamble." ”

Hu Deshen smiled with satisfaction.

Chai Shining twitched the corners of his mouth in pain.

Seeing him like this, Hood was deeply proud.

After chatting a few more words, Hu Deshen invited Chai Shining out for dinner, and the two left the inn.

Chai Shining was stunned, without a little spirit.

Hu Deshen was full of spring breeze pride.

But he didn't see that at a window on the third floor of the inn, a young man was looking at him and Chai Shining's back with a faint smile through the wooden window.

After a while, this alien young man walked out of the inn with his entourage and walked into the bustling streets of the capital.

Although it is getting dark, there is no curfew in the capital, and the streets are still full of people, and many shops are hung with dazzling red lanterns in front of them, illuminating several main streets as bright as day.

After walking a short distance, the young man came to the door of a silver building that dealt in gold and silver jewelry.

Then he walked in with his entourage.

When the guy in the store saw a customer entering the door, he hurriedly bent over and trotted forward to greet him, "What do you want to buy?"

Although our Jinquelou is not the largest silver building in the capital, when it comes to the style and workmanship of gold and silver jewelry, no one does not give a thumbs up! ”

"I want to make a piece of jewelry." The voice of the young man of the other race was a little jerky.

When the guy heard that the young man in front of him could speak Daqi, a trace of pride as a Daqi common person immediately rose in his heart.

"No problem, as long as you can draw it and draw it clearly, our master of Jinquelou will definitely be able to make it for you."

The man took a pen and paper, and the young man sat down at the table, and began to draw with a pen.

After a while, the man called a master who made gold and silver jewelry hired by the silver building, and the master looked at the picture, asked a few simple questions, and said that he could come to pick up the goods in five days.

The young man of the other race paid the deposit and walked out of the silver building with his entourage.

Early the next morning, Hu Deshen took the silver ticket and came to Chai Shining's rented house early.

He was afraid that Chai Shining would secretly go to the inn alone to gamble with a young man of another race.

You must know that if you miss a day, you will miss a thousand taels of silver.

Chai Shining looked helpless, and said that foreign princes usually start gambling in the evening, and let Hu Deshen wait for dark to come back.

Hu Deshen naturally refused, and kept following Chai Shining's side.

In this way, Chai Shining came to entertain guests for breakfast and lunch, and in the evening, the two took Chai Shining's carriage and went straight to the direction where the inn was located.

Coming to the inn, Hood was deeply excited.

Chai Shining walked ahead, went up to the third floor, and walked into the room of the young man of the other race.

But when Hu Deshen wanted to follow up, he was stopped by the entourage of a young man of another race.

"Brother, wait a minute, wait for me to talk to the little prince."

After Chai Shining entered the house for a while, the alien prince spoke, letting Hu Deshen enter the house as well.

"Dear Prince Harun, shall we start today's gamble?"

Chai Shining waited for Hu Deshen to walk in, and immediately rubbed his hands eagerly and proposed.

The alien prince first glanced at Hu Deshen with a proud face, and then reached out and took out three dice from his sleeve, and said in a stiff Daqi language: "Today, this prince has good luck, and he won fifty taels of silver from Changle Fang during the day.

Wait until you can win back the money you lost the other day, and then strip you both of your clothes and let you crawl out of here like dogs with your bare butts! ”

"The little prince's gambling skills are unparalleled in the world, and I am naturally not the opponent of the little prince." Chai Shining didn't take the insults of the alien youth seriously at all, and said with a cheeky smile.

Hu Deshen is also the same.

A real villain never has any dignity.

In front of strong opponents, he always grovels.

Hit him on the left cheek, he can bring the right cheek over and let you whip it up.

If you have the opportunity, you are also willing to be a dog leg to the strong and do things that bully others.

Besides, the villain is selfish and cold-blooded, has no emotion in his eyes, is very realistic, and is ruthless!

Maybe one moment you are like a faithful dog, but the next moment, you will not hesitate to pounce on you and bite you hard.

Picking up a porcelain bowl, the alien prince casually threw three dice into it, and in the porcelain bowl, there was a jingling sound, "It's still the same as a few days ago, let's compare the size!" ”

"Compared to what, naturally it is Prince Harun, you have the final say." Chai Shining hurriedly said.

Hu Deshen also bent over, looked respectful, squinted with a smile and asked, "Then is this game bigger or smaller?" ”

"It's all said that Prince Harun has the final say!"

Before the young man of the other race could speak, Chai Shining turned around suddenly and glared at Hu Deshen angrily.

Hood was stunned.

Later, seeing Chai Shining quietly giving himself a look, he held back the doubts in his heart and didn't say anything more.

"The old rule, bet three hundred taels of silver per person in the first game!"

The alien young man snorted coldly in his nostrils, raised his chin and glanced at Hu Deshen with disdain, and then reached out and grabbed the three dice.

Sandwiching the three dice between his palms and rubbing them back and forth, the alien youth looked nervous and threw the dice into the porcelain bowl from mid-air.

Jingle ......

The three dice swirl and beat erratically in the porcelain bowl.

Half a moment later, it stopped.

"The little prince's luck today is really good." As soon as the dice stopped moving, Chai Shining immediately stroked his hand and praised loudly, and slapped it without money, and his raised voice continued to echo in the room, "Just throw it, it's one, three, one, five o'clock!"

If it's smaller, won't Brother Hu and I lose? ”

"yes, yes." Hood opened his mouth to echo.

The young man of the other race obviously didn't want to throw it small, and when he saw that it was only five o'clock, his brows furrowed, and he waved his hand impatiently: "It's the turn of the two of you, who will come first?" ”

Chai Shining turned his head to look at Hu Deshen, Hu Deshen's small eyes turned slightly, and he said with a smile: "Brother Xian, you go first." ”

"Okay." Chai Shining responded happily, then reached out and grabbed the dice, just closed his eyes and threw it.

When the dice stop, it's five, six, five, sixteen.

Hu Deshen's heart tightened instantly.

If the ratio is larger, it is difficult to exceed this point.

Next it was Hu Deshen's turn, his luck was really good, he grabbed the dice and threw it, and actually threw six, six, five, seventeen points!

He was only a little short of the highest point of eighteen, and he rarely threw such a high number on weekdays.

A smile immediately appeared on his face.

In the first round, the bet per person was three hundred taels, and this time it was six hundred taels of silver!

But at this moment, the young man of the different race opened his mouth lightly, "This game is smaller!" ”

Hu Deshen's smile that had not yet fully bloomed was frozen on his face.

"What, you can't afford to lose?" The young man of the different race looked at Hu Deshen's face, and scolded viciously: "If you can't afford to lose, get out of here, the three hundred taels of silver this prince don't want it!" ”
