Liu Feng asked in surprise, "What's the matter?"

Shi Dazhu hesitated, gritted his teeth and said, "My sister was lost by my brother-in-law's bet!"

Liu Feng didn't understand a little, what does it mean that my sister was lost by her brother-in-law?

Shi Dazhu explained that it turned out that Shi Dazhu had a younger sister Shi Xianglian, who was only two years younger than him, who got married last year and married Deng Anguo, who came to Chang'an City to work.

Deng Anguo is a little wooden, has few words, is a man, and is very honest.

Although he has nothing, Deng Anguo's seemingly honest character is very good for Shi Dazhu's temper, and when his sister got married, Shi Dazhu was really happy.

However, after his married life stabilized, Deng Anguo gradually exposed one of his vices - gambling.

Deng Anguo initially went to gamble behind Shi Xianglian's back, and once he found out, he bowed his head and admitted his mistake. Later, after losing all the money, he not only owed a lot of debts, but also wrote an IOU to mortgage his wife.

Now, Deng Anguo ran away and didn't know where he went, and the casino came to collect the debt, ordered him not to pay off the arrears within three days, and dragged Shi Xianglian away according to the IOU.

Deng Anguo was originally a person who had nothing, and the place where he lived was also one of Shi Dazhu's ancestral two-story houses.

Because Shi Dazhu had to go to work in the hospital every day, and Shi Xianglian felt that the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, she deliberately hid it from Shi Dazhu, so Shi Dazhu did not know what happened to Deng Anguo.

Yesterday was forced to pay debts, Shi Xianglian really couldn't do it, and when Shi Dazhu got off work, she cried and told him the truth.

Although Shi Dazhu had some savings, Deng Anguo owed too much money and couldn't pay it off at all, so he was forced to borrow money everywhere.

Shi Dazhu knew Liu Feng's identity, and finally asked worriedly, "Doctor Liu, can you lend me some money?"

After finishing speaking, he quickly explained: "You can borrow as much as you want, I can also borrow from others, if you are also difficult, forget it!"

Liu Feng smiled and patted Shi Dazhu on the shoulder: "Leave it to me to solve." ”

These days, through reading books, Liu Feng has become familiar with the laws of the Empire.

In the empire, the folk are still in the custom of male superiority and inferiority of women, and the tradition of only allowing men to divorce women and not allowing women to betray men is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so this kind of gambling and losing wives is still recognized by the majority of the people.

However, the supreme leader of the empire was the empress, and all the laws and regulations had some feminist tendencies.

In the laws of the empire, it was clearly stipulated that a man could divorce his wife, and a woman could divorce her husband, and that the money owed by the man for his own reasons could be settled by the woman's actions.

Something like selling a wife and losing a wife is even more expressly prohibited by the laws of the empire, and those who dare to violate it will go directly to prison. Those who cause serious consequences can even be beheaded.

Shi Dazhu's home is at the mouth of an alley in the downtown area of Xicheng, and it is inconvenient for horse-drawn carriages to drive in.

Liu Feng asked Liu Yiyuan to guard the carriage at the entrance of the alley, and he and Shi Dazhu walked to his door.

They live in a two-story wooden building, all of which are made of one-man logs, but for a long time, the peeling of the lacquered wood veneer can be seen everywhere.

Pushing open the door, two young women sat in the hall and chatted, one thin woman still had tears on her face, and the other slightly chubby woman was persuading something.

Shi Dazhu looked at the slightly chubby woman, his eyes lit up, and he said with some surprise: "Wen Ping is here!"

Wen Ping watched Shi Dazhu come in, and stood up with a smile: "Dazhu, I heard that you owe a lot of money now, and I am telling Xianglian that it is not easy to borrow money now, just sell this house, I can help you find a good buyer and pay off all the debts for you directly." Xianglian still doesn't agree, you help me persuade her. ”

Shi Dazhu's face changed suddenly, and his voice raised a lot: "Sell the house?

Wen Ping looked at Shi Dazhu and frowned dissatisfiedly: "I'm here to help you figure out a way, what are you yelling at me? The house is not for sale, where do I see where do you get the money to pay off your debts?"

Seeing Wen Ping's dissatisfaction, Shi Dazhu realized that his tone was a little wrong, and said a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, Wen Ping, I have a bad attitude, thank you." It's been a long time since you've been here, so sit down a little longer and have a meal here, right?"

Wen Ping said disdainfully: "You don't need to eat, I'll leave if you don't sell the house, when you plan to sell, contact me again!"

After speaking, Wen Ping stood up and walked out the door with her ass twisted.

When she was walking, Wen Ping noticed that the young man behind Shi Dazhu was just talking to Shi Dazhu and didn't pay attention, but now it seems that this man is actually quite handsome.

Walking to the door, Wen Ping also turned around to look at the handsome guy.

Shi Dazhu's eyes were always on Wen Ping, and when he saw her stop and turn her head, he hurriedly said with some expectation: "Wen Ping, don't be in a hurry to leave, you know, I like you to play, sit for a while!"

Wen Ping looked at the handsome guy, and then at Shi Dazhu, who was five big and three thick, and said a little dissatisfied: "Dazhu, don't look at me with this kind of eyes, you should know that I don't like you." How can I like a person like you who wants to look but not looks, who wants money but no money?"

After speaking, Wen Ping glanced at the handsome Liu Feng again, and then twisted his ass and walked out of the door.

The thin Shi Xianglian had already stood up, and said to Shi Dazhu with tears in her eyes: "Brother, I'm sorry. ”

Shi Dazhu shook his head: "My brother and sister, I'm sorry for what you said." I'll help you with this. ”

Then, Shi Dazhu remembered to introduce Liu Feng: "This is Doctor Liu, he heard that there was an accident in my family, so he came to see it." ”

Shi Xianglian looked at Liu Feng and shouted timidly, "Doctor Liu, hello!"

Liu Feng nodded to Shi Xianglian, and then said in a big way: "This matter is handed over to me, and I will help you solve it." ”

Then, Liu Feng turned his head and asked Shi Dazhu: "Where is the casino?"

"It's right in the innermost part of the alley. ”

Inside the alley, Liu Feng's eyes lit up: "Isn't it a big casino?"

Shi Dazhu shook his head: "How could Deng Anguo go to the big casino to gamble, it's in our small casino." ”

Liu Feng smiled, small casino, that's a folk saying, in the official, it also has a name, called an underground casino.

In the empire, the big casinos were mainly run by the government, and some were contracted to certain nobles, and these casinos were legal.

However, there are still many small casinos that are not officially recognized and run privately, which are illegal.

Liu Feng originally wanted Shi Xianglian to write a letter of resignation, but now, the book of resignation is saved, and he owes money to the small casino, do you need to give it?

......

In the innermost part of the alley, there is a bluestone house, and the hall inside is smoky and miasma, and many people gather in several circles to bet on dice or dominoes inside.

In the hall, there is also a room, where a big man is sitting with a golden knife, and a woman opposite is smiling and saying something to her, this woman is Wen Ping, who has just come out of Shi Dazhu's house.
