Snow falls again in Kyoto in October, making the markets even more deserted than usual.

The nobles in the capital were more or less bankrupt because of the compassionate order a few days ago, and even a few of them, like the Wei family, were punished for lying about the land and handing over bad grain.

Under such circumstances, people's hearts are inevitably uncertain, so this winter there is no lively fireside party as in previous years, at most it is just a family gathering, and it is no longer as hype as in the past.

This made Liu Chenglin very disappointed, when he was in Pingzhou, he heard that the hearth in the capital in winter would be so lively, and the families of dignitaries and dignitaries feasted each other, which was an opportunity to make friends and show off their power.

It's just that his first winter in the capital was so deserted, and it was the death of the Queen Mother and the order of mercy to the people, which were all disappointing things.

However, Liu Gongzi is still very good at having fun, originally his favorite place to go was the song hall building, but last time his father Liu Huan came home and reprimanded him severely.

If he is not allowed to go to that kind of place to make friends with the beautiful singer again, otherwise he will break his legs.

Liu Chenglin was still very afraid of his father, so he didn't run to the land of fireworks for a while.

But he couldn't be idle, so he couldn't go to prostitution, so he had to gamble.

But I was unlucky, and I lost for a few days in a row, and I lost all the money in my hand.

Gamblers are like this, the more they lose, the more they want to get their money back.

He knew that Lu Yinshu usually looked at money very closely, especially guarding against him, so he didn't ask Lu Yinshu for money. I just quietly got some things in the house to sell them, and then went to the gambling house to gamble after changing the money.

It is said that feng shui takes turns, and a while ago he lost vigorously, but in the past two days, his luck suddenly improved again, not only turned over the book, but also won a lot of money, but Liu Gongzi was ruined.

simply soaked in the gambling house and didn't go home, anyway, Liu Huan was not at home these days, and he was really too lazy to look at his stepmother's face.

In the past few days, several officials below the fourth grade in the capital have been blackmailed, and they dare to be angry but dare not speak, because the other party has a real handle in his hand.

These people were all invited to a certain tea house, and the people who connected with them wore masks, and they couldn't see their faces clearly.

After meeting, he will directly report the amount of silver he wants, and if the other party refuses, he will take out the account of the other party's bribery of the imperial history and read it to the other party in a whisper.

This is really a terrible thing, and the person who can get this account is definitely not an ordinary person. The blackmailed person didn't dare to investigate it at all, so he could only honestly pay for it.

And as long as enough money is paid, the man will keep the contract and burn the account, indicating that there will be no follow-up.

Many people choose to eat coptis dumbly, but gradually find that there are many people who share the same disease as themselves.

So brainstorming, it is inevitable that someone will ask how this account came out? The account of the bribes was obviously written by the person who received the money, and when they gave bribes, they were all given to Lu Yinshu, the wife of the Imperial History, without exception.

If this thing fries up one day, they won't be able to eat and walk away.

Thinking that he and Lord Yushi were grasshoppers on the same line anyway, two bold people came to find Lu Yinshu and told her about the matter.

Lu Yinshu didn't have the heart to take care of anything else these days because her own son was sick, and of course she was shocked when she heard this.

First, he comforted the two people who came with words and asked them to go back and wait for news. After that, he went to his room, opened the mechanism, and took out the box containing secret letters and accounts.

When I opened it, I found that all the papers that recorded the bribery accounts were gone.

After thinking about it, he suspected that Liu Chenglin did it.

In addition, the next person reported that Liu Chenglin sneakily brought out a lot of things from the house a few days ago, and he has been soaking in the gambling house since then.

The more Lu Yinshu felt that he must have done this, and it happened that Liu Huan came back, so Lu Yinshu cried and told the matter.

"Do you have any evidence of him? Did the beast really do it? Liu Huan asked.

"Master, how dare I talk nonsense about such a thing?" Lu Yinshu wiped her tears and said, "If someone else did it, how could it be possible to leave those more terrible letters and just take the bill?" And only threaten those officials below the fourth grade. If it were someone else, it would be more likely to threaten us in turn. ”

"Someone! Go get that brute back for me right now! Liu Huan yelled angrily.

This matter is not trivial, Liu Chenglin is reckless in order to make money, if something really goes wrong, the Liu family will be completely finished.

Liu Chenglin was living happily in the gambling house, and he won a lot of silver. There is a group of gangsters around him who flatter, and the daily food and drink are brought from the restaurant, and it is no exaggeration to say that his father has never enjoyed it so much.

When the person sent by Liu Huan asked him to go back, Liu Chenglin seemed to fall back to bed from a dream, he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, hesitated for a long time, and finally went back.

After going back, Liu Huan was even more angry when he saw him like this, and went up and kicked him twice before asking him: "You brute is getting more and more daring!" Get everything out! ”

Liu Chenglin thought that his father was talking about the things he had stolen out of the house to sell before, so he said in a whisper: "Those things have been asked to change for money, if the master wants it, I will give you the money." ”

Those things were sold by his men, and there was no fixed buyer, and it would take a lot of trouble to find them back.

Besides, he has money now, and he thinks that as long as he takes the money to block it, it is not a big deal.

Who knew that Liu Huan was even more angry when he heard this, pointed at him and scolded: "Can money buy your life?" You idiot! ”

"Master, don't get angry yet, let him hurry up and hand over the rest of his hand!" Lu Yinshu said on the side.

She was scheming, and she felt that it was best to get the accounts back first, and then even if she beat Liu Chenglin to death.

Otherwise, I really want to push him urgently, I'm afraid that he will bite people indiscriminately.

Lu Yinshu felt that the reason why Liu Chenglin did this was that on the one hand, he wanted to exchange the accounts for money, so that he could spend his time and drink. On the other hand, he also wants to hold his own handle, so as to blackmail a lot of family property.

But Lu Yinshu values silver more than life, and she will never give in.

"Okay, you hand over the rest." Liu Huan desperately suppressed his anger and said to Liu Chenglin: "Those things are life talismans, if you don't want to die, hand them over quickly." ”

Liu Chenglin handed over the silver ticket he carried, and to be honest, his heart was dripping blood.

"It's not these!" Liu Huan was so angry that he jumped to his feet and slammed the silver ticket on his son's face: "I want those accounts!" Do you know those accounts? Hurry up and bring it out for me! ”

"What account? I do not know! Liu Chenglin shouted: "I don't know what you're talking about, I just got some worthless calligraphy and painting antiques from the house, and I never took any accounts." ”
