Liu's matter didn't expect to be solved in this way, Zhuang Rou thought that she had to talk for a long time, anyway, Liu's also recognized the previous twenty taels, so she wanted to go back in the evening.

Zhuang Rou has a lot of things to do today, so she has to go to those gambling houses and Qinglou yesterday, and then start cleaning up those disobedient guys.

She wanted to go to Ma Dezheng when she came out of Qingfeng Residence, and if she had nothing to do, she would go out with her to do serious things, thinking that they should also be excluded from doing nothing.

Halfway through, she was blocked by someone sent by the master, and she was directly called to the warehouse.

Zhuang Rou looked curiously at the master, who was busy from morning to night, always talking to the officials, and asked puzzledly: "Master, what are you calling me for?" ”

"That pile of stuff was pulled back last night, you can go and see what to do with it yourself." The master pointed to the dozens of boxes on the table next to him and said.

"Didn't the adults say that they were going to sell all their things, should these be special?" Zhuang Rou walked over and took a box to look at, and found that it was a pair of white jade bracelets, the jade color was very good, and it seemed that it would cost a lot of silver.

She opened another flat box, and inside was a set of glittering gold jewelry, which looked a little tacky, but the heavy gold still made her raise her eyebrows.

I looked through a few more boxes, and they were full of women's jewelry, all of which were exquisite and valuable, and if they were all taken back as dowries, they would not envy the dead.

"Master, why do you want me to show me these things, do you want me to pick a few for my own use?" Zhuang Rou covered the box and asked with a grin.

The master's eyes seemed to be looking at a fool, and he said speechlessly: "These are all gifts from the vendors last night, and because I can't see you, they are all accepted by the officials." If you don't want it, then it's all processed into silver taels according to the adult's share. ”

"All for me?" Zhuang Rou blinked, staring at the box on the table, she just deliberately showed off like that last night, but she didn't expect those merchants to really understand, and they immediately sent all the gifts.

There is no girl who doesn't love jewelry, and the master will smile when he sees her staring at the box on the table, and he doesn't know how many things she will leave behind.

"Master, I've seen it, it's all good things, and it doesn't seem cost-effective to dispose of them like this." Zhuang Rou suddenly thought of something, a sly smile appeared on her face, she looked at her master and said, "I have a good idea for those things connected to adults." ”

The master looked at her with palpitations, what kind of ghost idea did he think of again, can he do it one by one!

"If you don't sell it, then these things will be put into storage first, and the adult's ones have already been put into storage, and he said that he won't give you private use." He reminded that His Royal Highness has no habit of listening to others, and Zhuang Rou thought very well about selling the things of the little county king, but this matter was not so easy.

Zhuang Rou had expected that this guy would work against him, and originally wanted to snatch it and sell it first, but at that time he had nothing to object. But now that there are thirty or forty gifts for myself, there is no need for him.

She waved her hand and said with disgust: "It's okay, just let the adults keep it for the elderly, who will make him not rich." ”

"This ......" Master Hehe laughed a few times, and His Royal Highness heard this, and he had to take a box of jewels and smash it all on her head.

Zhuang Rou already had a plan in her heart, the things were also hers, and she could deal with her as she liked, so she told the master to put away her things carefully, and turned around and left.

She found Ma Dezheng to take a look, and sure enough, because he was excluded, he was so idle that he had nothing to do except be the follower of the little county king and inquire about the news. So Zhuang Rou called him, took Niu Dayong, and they shouted more than a dozen white servants, and went out in a mighty way.

If it weren't for Ma Dezheng to find out the situation in advance according to the rules of the yamen, Zhuang Rou really wouldn't have the ability to find this money. Looking at the countless sewage puddles on the ground, the dirty porters basking in the sun on both sides of the roadside, and the dilapidated streets and houses, she already suspected that this gambling house actually didn't even have a room, but just a table in the open space on the side of the road, right?

It was a rare thing for the people of the Yamen to come here, and the porters on the side of the road looked at them with inquiring and curious eyes, and walked inside for a while, and a large mansion appeared in front of them. The door is painted with black lacquer to shine, the door is hung with the plaque of four big characters of the Cailai gambling house, only half of the door is opened, although the people who enter and exit are not rich, but the endless stream is very lively.

Ma Dezheng hurriedly said: "Sister Zhuang, this is the Cailai Gambling House, you pay attention to your feet, don't step on the muddy water." ”

Zhuang Rou waved his hand and said, "You guys wait outside, don't scare the people, I'll go in and have a look alone." ”

"Sister Zhuang, that's too dangerous, let's send a few people to follow up." Where is there a person who goes in, although she is wearing a suit, but she is also a woman, this kind of place is really not suitable for her to go in alone, Ma Dezheng persuaded.

Before coming to Hongzhou, he had met Sister Zhuang's brother, who was obviously just a student of the Guozijian, but that feeling made him feel that he was being targeted by a fierce poisonous snake.

Although the other party is also kind to say, he only said that Zhuang Rou went to Hongzhou and was not familiar with the place, and hoped that he could help to watch it more. If there is any danger or something, please send a message back.

Although he had an extra bag of silver in his arms when he left, when Ma De came back to his senses, he found that the sweat on his back soaked his clothes.

Years of patting on the back made him very sensitive to the breath of the superior, and without Zhuang Xuewen saying too much, Ma Dezheng knew that if Zhuang Rou had an accident in Hongzhou, his life would be gone.

It's not to smash the field, who would dare to gamble if so many people want to go in, Zhuang Rou waved his hand and said: "Okay, Niu Dayong and Diao Yi will go in with me, and you will shock those servants and their white servants outside." ”

Ma Dezheng looked back at the more than 20 white servants, these were not his people, they were all people who were already in Hongzhou, and they really had to keep an eye on it.

He responded and led people to guard outside, while Zhuang Rou took Niu Dayong and Diao Yi into the gambling house. Even if they didn't go in, so many officials stood outside that gamblers who wanted to come in didn't dare to come, thinking that something was going on here, and they all stood far away to watch the excitement.

The people in the gambling house didn't know about it, but they still had a lot of fun, and Zhuang Rou went in to find that the air was not as bad as she imagined. The hall is unpartitioned, spacious and airy, with ten gaming tables. And the wall on the inside has long been demolished, and the hall is connected to the courtyard, so there is no smell of black smoke and miasma.

It's comfortable in summer, but I'm afraid I still have to install the door in winter, otherwise I'll freeze to death if I set up a brazier.

The gamblers were having a good time, and no one noticed that anyone from the government came in, and their eyes were all on the gambling table, even if their relatives came, they couldn't get them away.

Although the gambler didn't notice her, the two brothers of Li Rongfa had already seen it, and when they saw the government coming to the door, they hurried to report it, and the other two greeted her, and said to Diao Yi with a good smile: "I don't know if the two catchers are coming, and the villain is far away, please forgive me." ”

Diao was stunned, turned his head to look at Zhuang Rou, and only felt that there was something wrong with the eyes of these people, it was obviously Sister Zhuang who was wearing a head-catching suit, why did he greet him first?

The two of them were very clever, and when they saw him looking at Sister Zhuang, they immediately whispered: "Please rest assured, the shop has a private room, and we will send a girl over to serve us immediately, and we will definitely not let vulgar people disturb the interest of the nobles." ”

Zhuang Rou and Diao Yi immediately understood, this was a disobedient lady who thought she was, and she came to the gambling house to meet her in disguise as a man. Even should be arrested, they must be the family members of officials, where can they afford to offend.

As for talking to Diao Yi, probably Niu Dayong is too stupid and doesn't look like the person in charge.

"Where's your host?" Zhuang Rou didn't show off his authority to the two of them, but just asked casually.

It turned out to be an acquaintance of the owner, and the two hurriedly replied: "I have sent someone to invite the owner, and I also invited the nobles to the backyard private room for a while." ”

Before the words fell, the two brothers Li Rongfa rushed over from behind, and when they saw that it was indeed the female catcher with the name of the classic history, they immediately laughed and greeted him, "I didn't expect the adults to be so punctual, so I came right away, please come to the backyard quickly." ”

Zhuang Rou also wanted to see the situation in this gambling house, so she nodded, and followed them to the backyard under the gaze of a good person.

While watching and listening to the introduction of the two, she walked through the front and back of the gambling house, and then sat in the private room and drank the fragrant tea that was brought up, and said slowly: "I have seen you guys, the inside looks much bigger than the outside, but all the people who come are porters and small traders, and they can't make much money." ”

"My lord, you can also see, our yard is an old mansion, and it is quite big around here, but this location is not good. There are so many poor ghosts out there, it is impossible for rich people to come. Li Ronghua rubbed his hands and said in embarrassment, if he was on the side of the road where there were many rich people, where would he still need to tie up the government like this.

Zhuang Rou put down the teacup and said with a smile: "You build this road first, and after a month at most, I can make you look new." ”

Li Rongfa's two brothers looked at each other and said in unison: "Build roads? ”

"Of course, if this broken road is not repaired, how can I come. I only wore these shoes a few times, and I stepped on the mud, and they were all dirty! Zhuang Rou raised her eyebrows and said dissatisfiedly, "Don't tell me that you need money to build roads, not many people owe you gambling debts, so you can just catch them and build roads." Give a few steamed buns and a bowl of coarse tea a day, it is impossible to dare to ask for wages, right? ”

Hearing her say this, Li Rongfa can think about it, just pick this sand and stone from the river. Just give steamed buns to those who owe a lot of debts and are so poor that they can't afford to eat, I'm afraid they will die of happiness.

He answered, and asked when this special card would be done, and how the business could be better and more classy.

Zhuang Rou smiled mysteriously, and told them not to be in such a hurry, it's only been a few days, and the meal has to be eaten in one bite, anyway, there will be a play in a few days, and then they will leave.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Li Rongfa didn't ask anymore, but people couldn't leave empty-handed, so they quickly stuffed some broken silver into Niu Dayong and the others. So he directly took two small silver ingots of twenty taels to Zhuang Rou, which was also very generous.

Zhuang Rou didn't shirk it, and directly brought it over to them to repair the road as soon as possible, and then took people out of the house. The two of them sent her to the door, just thinking about going back quickly to discuss how to repair this road.

Ma Dezheng had been waiting at the door diligently, until the officials and white servants were idle, and some whispered complaints and dissatisfaction, thinking that it was too embarrassing to go out with a woman.

As soon as he saw that the person had come out, Ma De hurriedly greeted him and said with a smile: "Sister Zhuang, you came out." ”

"Here you go, go back and divide it up with the brethren who came today." Zhuang Rou stretched out his hand and threw the two silver ingots to Ma Dezheng, wiped his hands and planned to go to Huali Courtyard to have a look.

The white silver was extremely dazzling in the sun, and the officials who were still resentful stood up straight, staring at Ma Dezheng with straight eyes, this trip is worth it!

It's all white-eyed wolves who see money!

Ma Dezheng saw their virtue, put the silver in his arms, and shouted: "Go, follow Sister Zhuang to earn silver, and I don't want to call you here." Cheer up, or no one will follow you in the future! ”

"Where you don't want to come, as long as my sister gives me an order, we will go wherever it is pointed!" Immediately, there was a servant who accompanied him and said with a smile, this day is not good, whether he is a man or a woman, only silver is the most important!

"Humph! Clever point. Ma Dezheng didn't know what they were thinking, and with a snort and a wave of his hand, he asked everyone to follow.

Zhuang Rou is not rare for this little money, and she is not in the mood to engage in any means to subdue people, as long as there is money to be made, naturally there are people who follow and do things.

She carefully stepped over the sewage puddles on the road and walked out of the alley, and was about to let Ma Dezheng lead the way to the Huali Courtyard when suddenly a familiar figure in the crowd in the distance was leisurely strolling down the street.

"Huayu Building! Stop! Zhuang Rou suddenly shouted, and immediately rushed towards the man. The figure paused, and quickly slipped into the alley by the side of the road.

Ma Dezheng looked at it, and quickly waved his hand and shouted, "Quick, follow Sister Zhuang'er, that person is a flower thief!" Then he rushed into the alley with all the officials.
