Facing the few people who were getting tighter and tighter, Xu Qi was tense, gritted his teeth and said, "It's only eight hundred taels, I will pay it back." ”

"Will it be returned?" The leader smiled, "The Great Prince Xu will be no better." ”

He stretched out his hand in front of Xu Qi: "Then don't waste time, Master Xu has paid off his gambling debts, and we are still rushing back to Qianjinfang to work." ”

The debt collectors are five big and three thick, and the hand spread out in front of Xu Qi is like a broken fan.

Xu Qi took a deep breath and said, "I don't have any money now, you give me some more time." ”

Several people looked at each other and smiled.

The big fan-like hand slapped the young man's shoulder heavily, and he didn't laugh and said, "Master Xu is joking, if you don't have money now, how can you have it in the future?" Do you take the money sent by the Hou Mansion to Qianjinfang to turn over the book? ”

One person's eyes lit up: "Yes, the Changchun Marquis Mansion will definitely give the silver if the Marquis of Changchun kicks Xu out of the house!" ”

The leader winked at his companion.

Several people came up and grabbed the burden that Xu Qi was carrying on his arm.

"You robbery!" Xu Qi guarded the burden and shouted loudly.

The people who watched the bustle stood still.

If you really encounter a robbery, there will be strong men to help, or people will go up together and beat the gangsters who rob in broad daylight into pigs' heads.

But that's not the case right now.

I can't control my own gambling debts, if my family doesn't care, how can others help?

That is, Xu Dagongzi is young, so he looks a little pitiful, if he changes to that kind of rotten gambler, he just wants to spit and say that he deserves it.

Under the cold eyes of the people, where could Xu Qi deal with a few big men, and the burden in front of him was snatched by one person in the blink of an eye.

"Big brother." The man handed the burden to the man who was at the head.

The leader looked at the young man who was held down by several strong men, and opened the burden with a cruel smile.

A few pieces of clothing, shoes and socks fell, and in addition to that, a royal blue brocade purse was lying in the snow and was very conspicuous.

The person at the head immediately picked up the purse and smiled excitedly: "I'll see how much capital the Hou Mansion has given to Master Xu to settle down." ”

Xu Qi stared at the purse with excellent material and was stunned.

He didn't know how much money was inside, and he didn't bother to open it after being swept out.

However, there should be no problem with paying off 800 taels of gambling debts.

Xu Qi thought of what those people said to him after losing money for the first time: "It's so convenient to find a gambling house to borrow." You are the son of Houmen, are you afraid that you will not be able to pay more than a dozen taels of silver? ”

Ten taels and ten taels, and when it reached eight hundred taels, the gambling house stopped borrowing him, but it did not urge him to pay back.

Then, he wrote down one IOU after another to a few of his players.

Even if his father was extremely disappointed in him, could it be that he wouldn't even give him eight hundred taels of silver?

Xu Qi stared intently at the big fan-like hand, and took out a stack of silver tickets from his purse, as well as scattered pieces of silver.

The person at the head did not shy away from it and counted it in public.

As he reported the number, Xu Qi's face became more and more pale.

After the number of leaders was finished, the eyes that looked at the young man were a little sympathetic, and he sighed: "I really didn't expect the dignified Hou Mansion to sweep the prince Xu out of the house and send it away with five hundred taels." ”

One person followed: "That's right, five hundred taels is a huge amount of money for our little people, but what is it to the Hou Mansion that takes out 10,000 taels of silver at every turn?" Isn't this a dispatch called Hanako? ”

Watching the lively people discussed, and finally came to a conclusion: these clothes, shoes, socks and body money will not be prepared by a big man in Changchun Hou, but must be arranged by Mrs. Hou.

From this point of view, Miss Luo is not wrong at all, it is Mrs. Changchun Hou who arranged for the family to chase the silver.

There were two people from the Changchun Hou Mansion in the crowd, and listening to these discussions, one of them ran to the Hou Mansion with his legs drawn.

The Marquis of Changchun sent someone to follow Xu Qi quietly, not because he was worried that he would be embarrassed after being kicked out of the house, but purely to pay attention to the movements.

"Master Hou, the people of Qianjinfang surrounded the eldest prince and asked him for gambling debts." The people who rushed over were panting and reported the situation.

Changchun Hou's face changed suddenly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "That beast still has gambling debts?" ”

"Yes, the eldest prince still owes eight hundred taels of silver to Qianjinfang-"

"There's no big boy!" The Marquis of Changchun angrily interrupted the next man's words.

The subordinate hurriedly changed his words: "Xu Dalang owes Qianjinfang 800 taels of silver, and the people of Qianjinfang robbed Xu Dalang's burden, and put 500 taels of silver in his purse......"

Changchun Hou frowned and blurted out: "Only five hundred taels? ”

Seeing that the Marquis of Changchun looked suspicious, his subordinates hurriedly promised: "The people of Qianjinfang counted in public, and the silver tickets totaled five hundred taels, and a few taels of silver. ”

Changchun Hou's face was difficult to look at.

The things Xu Qi took away were prepared by the Yang family, and he thought that there were at least one thousand taels of silver.

This Yang's!

For a moment, the gentle and careless face became blurred.

A thought faintly flashed through Changchunhou's heart: he didn't seem to know this cousin.

"Master Hou, Xu Dalang is still three hundred taels away-"

"Leave him alone! Keep watching, and come back as soon as there is new news. ”

The subordinates left in a hurry, and the expression of the Marquis of Changchun was not soothed.

At his age, of course he knows how terrible it is for the casino to turn its face ruthlessly, but the Hou Mansion can't take this money.

Everyone knew that Xu Qi was expelled from the Hou Mansion, and if he took out this money, Xu Qi's actions in the future would have nothing to do with the Hou Mansion.

That's a huge risk.

But although he made such a decision, thinking of what Xu Qi was going to face, Changchun Hou inevitably felt a little unbearable.

He quickly turned this bit of unbearability into anger towards the Yang family.

If that slut prepares some more money for Xu Qi, why embarrass him!

Not to mention that Changchun Hou's boredom with the Yang family was deeper, Xu Qi's retreat had been completely blocked by several strong men.

The leader put away the silver ticket, and then threw the purse containing a few corners of broken silver back into Xu Qi's arms.

"We are not the ones to kill everything, a few corners of broken silver are left for Xu Dagongzi to buy steamed buns to eat. But Xu Dagongzi has to make it clear, how to pay back the remaining three hundred taels? ”

Xu Qi bit his lip stiffly: "I'...... Will find a job as soon as possible. ”

The person at the head was happy: "Master Xu is really a noble son who doesn't know the suffering of the world, do you know how much money you get a month for ordinary work?" ”

Xu Qi was asked.

He didn't know.

From childhood to adulthood, he has not been harsh on food and clothing.

The leader stretched out two fingers: "It's already a good errand to get two taels of silver a month." How long will it take for Prince Xu to pay off the three hundred taels? ”

Xu Qi didn't need to count, he was already cold.

The leader suddenly smiled: "However, Master Xu has strengths, maybe he can really earn three hundred taels of silver." ”

Xu Qi looked at each other in confusion.

The leader waved his hand: "Brothers, send Master Xu to the opposite side of the gambling house to exchange for silver!" ”
