Chapter 332: There is no one who dares to be greedy for the king's silver
The whole capital is a sensation! Out of the dark horse!
Ji Xiao, who was at the bottom of the ranking, was actually married by the emperor and married the county lord Ji Wushuang, becoming the biggest winner!
Nan Gongzi, who was favored by everyone before, Hou Gongzi and Nie Gongzi...... They were all defeated by Ji Xiao. Countless people have spent a lot of money, bought them to win, just waiting to make a big profit, who knows that now the loss is complete!
The major gambling houses have exploded!
Countless people looked at the plaque hanging at the door of the gambling house, which said the winner 'Ji Xiao', crying and chagrined one by one, many people spent hundreds of taels or thousands of taels, and even some people listened to the rumors, borrowed debts to gamble, and now they are losing everything!
But there are also a very small number of people who bought Ji Xiao, but they inadvertently made a lot of money, shouting and shouting excitedly at the door of the gambling house.
One pays fourteen!
Even if you only buy one tael of silver, you can get fourteen taels now, which is enough to buy a good piece of flower cloth for the daughter-in-law of the family, and cut two catties of fat meat for the child to go back to open meat!
The few lucky people who exchanged the silver were overjoyed, in stark contrast to most of the gamblers around them who were crying and sad. Tonight's capital is destined to keep countless people awake at night.
No one knows that the most shocking and frightened people are not these gamblers who have spent money, but the seven major gambling houses!
When the holy decree came down, the principals and backstage of the seven major gambling houses were stunned! In just a moment, everyone heard the wind and moved, and they all gathered in an inconspicuous restaurant room. The room was full of wine and food, but no one moved, and the atmosphere was solemn and depressing, and there was a dead silence.
"I didn't expect a dark horse, and the one who bought Ji Xiao actually won!" After a long time, someone spoke with a black face.
"We have 35 bets to buy Ji Xiao in the fortune gambling house, and the remaining 34 bets add up to less than 1,000 taels of silver, but there is a mysterious buyer who bets 200,000 taels. If he comes to exchange silver, we will lose 2.8 million taels, and the entire gambling house will lose it! ”
"There are also people in my Hongyun Gambling House who bet on Ji Xiao 300,000 taels, and he is also a mysterious buyer, if this person appears, we will lose 4.2 million taels!" The other gambling house owner also had a gloomy face.
"I also have someone here who buys Ji Xiao, 300,000 taels! I'm going to pay more than four million taels too! ”
"Me ...... too"
Everyone looks at me, I look at you, and they all feel unprecedented pressure.
Although they are the principals of the gambling house, they usually make a lot of money, and they have unlimited scenery in front of people, but only they know that they are just working for the owner! The owner asked them to manage the gambling house, that was to collect money and make money, but now they have lost almost the entire gambling house, and the consequences are almost imaginable.
In the past, when this kind of thing happened, there was only one result, and that was to secretly kill the person who won the money!
Is the money in the gambling house so easy to earn?
It's just that this time the matter is too big, and each casino has encountered a mysterious buyer, and they think it is strange, so they gather to discuss countermeasures. Everyone looked at each other, nodded secretly, and unanimously chose the only result.
Someone sneered: "It's just a matter of winning less, even if he is lucky, if these millions of taels of silver are taken away from my Hongyun Gambling House, will Lao Tzu still live?" Once this person appears, he will only die! ”
The other man raised his glass and continued, "I've made people watch, and once this man appears, he will never return!" ”
"Hahahaha, Jin Laosan, you have to start clean! This person can afford hundreds of thousands, maybe he has a bit of a background, but don't mess with the hornet's nest and be unlucky. ”
"You Heyuan Gambling House dare to start, why don't we dare? Maybe it's the same person! ”
"If that's the case, then just one can solve it, that's convenient!"
As he spoke, the crowd gradually relieved themselves and ridiculed the mysterious gambler as a dead man.
"Do you want us to gamble again and see whose house this man goes to first?"
"I'll bet ten taels of silver to go to your iron chicken head, believe it or not?"
"Bet! Lao Tzu bets on Jin Laosan and bets that he will go to your house! ”
In the private room, everyone laughed, the dullness dissipated, and they began to push the cups and change the lamps, and eat and drink.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Haha, here's the news!" Someone burst out laughing.
A hand came in, and the hearts of the people who were eating and drinking with his panicked appearance sank, and a bad premonition arose. Someone immediately shouted, "Tell me, what's going on?" ”
The subordinate who reported the news trembled and said: "Boss, the gambling house is coming, someone is coming, ...... is coming."
"Lao Tzu knows that someone is coming, tell me quickly, who is that person, which family!?"
"Yes, it's the people of the Nine Princes!"
Everyone's faces changed dramatically, and they lost their voices: "What, Nine Princes?!" ”
The subordinate said with a sad face: "Just now, the mysterious guest who bet 200,000 taels came, and the little ones were ready to take him down in one fell swoop, who knows...... He turned out to be sent by the Nine Princes, let's prepare the silver within one day, otherwise let us close the gambling house! ”
Everyone was stunned, and they wanted to kill this person secretly, so they didn't have to lose money.
But I didn't expect the other party to be the Nine Princes Lan Beichen!
Who dares to mess with!
Everyone was so sad that they couldn't sit down anymore, so they left one after another: "Quick, report to the owner immediately!" ”
……
The sunlight outside the window slanted into the hall, and the spring light was warm, and I was happy.
The sound of the abacus crackled, and the five fingers of the moon flew up, as fast as a phantom, helping Xia Jinse calculate how much silver he could win this time.
"There was a small change in the odds on the last day, but it was not much, the prince and the princess bet a total of two million taels, of which the fortune gambling house can win 2.8 million taels, and the fortune gambling house 4.2 million taels ......"
After a moment, Sheyue looked at the beads on the abacus and said in surprise: "Forget it, princess, a total of two thousand seven million eight hundred and sixty-three thousand four hundred and twenty taels of silver!" ”
Chasing clouds and Mu Xiang's eyes lit up when they heard it, oh my God, so much!
Xia Jinse's face was even more excited, and his eyebrows and eyes were crooked with a smile: "Wow, more than 27 million taels, how many boxes will it take to finish?" The storeroom must be full! ”
As she spoke, she looked at Lan Beichen and said excitedly: "Lan Beichen, have you heard, more than 27 million taels!" We got rich, we got rich! ”
Seeing that she was as happy as a child who had eaten candy, Lan Beichen said amusefully and dotingly: "Why use such trouble to pack boxes, directly deposit them in the bank, or exchange them for silver tickets." ”
Xia Jinse nodded, and said, "That's it, you can't put so much money at home, in case a thief comes!" Even if there is no thief, it is a loss to let it go, and you have to spend it. Save a part of the money in the bank, you can collect interest, and part of the score is given to Ji Xiao and Wushuang, after all, it is because of them that we have the opportunity to make so much money......"
As she spoke, she looked at Lan Beichen: "By the way, Lan Beichen, the marriage decree has been issued, and it won't be long before Cousin Ji and Wushuang will marry, I want to give Cousin Ji a big gift, will you agree?" ”
Ji Wushuang is the lord of the Hou Mansion, Ji Xiao can marry her, if he doesn't talk about his emotional character, he must have been wronged in the family world. So she wanted to give Ji Xiao a house in the form of gift money, and as for the silver won this time, she must also give Ji Xiao a part, which can also give Ji Xiao some face.
"The entire Jin Palace, you are in charge, even if you want to search the palace for him, I will leave it to you."
Lan Beichen is absolutely obedient to Xia Jinse for being the master of the house: "However, after giving the Jin Wangfu to Ji Xiao to marry, you have to worry about where we will live in the future." ”
Xia Jinse snorted: "It's so exaggerated, even if I send it, Cousin Ji won't accept it." I thought about it, when the silver is recovered, I will give it to Cousin Ji and Wushuang's house, it is estimated that it will cost hundreds of thousands, and the gift money will be another million, and if it is more, they will definitely not accept it. ”
Speaking of the house, Xia Jinse became interested, she had been to Ji Mansion, Ji Mansion was not big, I think it was because Ji Xiao's father Ji Zhiqian was honest, and the family only lived in a two-entry house.
For a Guozijian Siye, such a house is already considered simple, but a family of three plus a few girls can barely live in it. But now that Ji Xiao wants to get married, he is still married to the lord of the Hou Mansion, and he can't still live in such a house, which will inevitably make people look down on him.
This time, it would be most appropriate to let the Ji family return to the big mansion.
"Is there a suitable house near the Jin Wangfu, and how much silver does it cost?" Xia Jinse asked. She wanted to buy it directly and give it to Ji Xiao as the most suitable.
Lan Beichen felt more and more that she was delicate, and even thought of this kind of thing: "The land near the palace is relatively expensive, and the general mansion is more than 20 hectares, and most of them are in the hands of officials and the royal family, and they are generally not sold." Even if it is sold, it will not be less than 500,000 taels. ”
"It's four streets away, near the south side of the city, there are a few houses that are cheaper, let Broken Star inquire when the time comes."
As soon as we talked about Shattered Star, Shattered Star returned.
Also coming back with Leng Mo, the two went out together to deal with the silver, and now they come back to report the results.
Shattered Star grinned and said: "Lord, princess, sure enough, the seven gambling houses are the same, I didn't know the identity of my subordinates at first, and I still wanted to start." But the subordinates and Leng Mo killed a few of them, beat all of them down, and then reported the name of the prince, and they were immediately frightened. ”
Leng Mo said succinctly: "They said that it would take time to raise money, and they begged the prince for three days, and his subordinates agreed to make their own decisions." ”
"Just three days, after all, more than 20 million taels, this king is not unkind, let them slowly raise it." Lan Beichen said lightly, it seems that he had expected it for a long time, but Xia Jinse was a little surprised, and after thinking about it, he felt that it was indeed not so easy.
Before, she thought that she would just take the gambling ticket to exchange it for silver, but the result was ......
The gambling house is originally a place where black eats black, how can it be so easy to give silver with both hands? However, there are almost no people who dare to provoke Lan Beichen, so they can only raise money honestly. More than 20 million taels, I don't know if they have enough money, if they pay off the bill after three days, then what will they do?
Lan Beichen's eyes were deep, and the corners of his lips hooked: "Those who dare to owe this king silver, have not yet been born!" ”
Xia Jinse blinked and said, "It's not!" Who would dare to owe you the silver of the Nine Princes, wouldn't they not want to live? ”
"Those gambling houses, usually make enough black money, and now let them spit out millions of taels, how can they not? There are people in the background of every gambling house, either high-ranking officials or wealthy families, otherwise how can the gambling house be opened? ”
Shattered Star copied his hand and said: "The gambling house has lost everything, it's a big deal that the owner in the background will lose some more, do business, how can there be only one who can't get in?!" ”
Chaiyun smiled: "Don't worry, princess, wait for the cashier!" ”
Xia Jinse thought about it, none of this money can be missing, it is rare to make a lot of money, she can use this money to do a lot of things.
That night, the lights in the courtyard of the Lin family of the Hubu Shangshu Mansion and the Guogong Mansion and the Xiaoyao Hou Mansion were not extinguished all night.
A side family head under the Lin family came, and it was the two gambling houses that usually came forward to take care of the Lin family, and said that the mysterious guest who bet on Ji Xiao in the gambling house turned out to be the Nine Princes. Now that the Nine Princes have sent someone to exchange money, a total of more than 10 million taels of silver, the gambling house does not have enough money at all, even if all the money of the entire Lin family is counted, it is not enough!
The same is true of the Guogong Mansion and the Xiaoyao Mansion, and almost every family has a huge expenditure of nearly 10 million taels.
Lin Kangnian and others almost fainted!
