Chapter 17: A Gamble!
I heard footsteps not far away, it seemed that the people from the pharmacy were chasing after me, this was a dead end, the wall was higher than Liu Minglou, the corner of the wall was pushing the rotten sweet potato peel, the green moss was connected from the ground to the wall, and the mung bean flies were flying around.
"The thief is there!"
The men had spotted them, and with a triumphant smile on their faces, they walked slowly in their direction, their clubs "snapping" against their palms. β
Liu Minglou pulled Jiang Cailing and deliberately scared Jiang Cailing and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't admit it, they will think you are an accomplice when they see us in a while, even if my son is accompanied by you on the road, it will be a little interesting!" β
Jiang Cailing's red lips smiled lightly, took off her white hat, and her eyes were dyed with deep meaning, "I am a woman, three feet thin, and I am a hundred when I die, but I am a son, with a golden body and a noble body, sitting on wealth and nobility, but it is a pity that all the gold and silver in this death have become external objects, and I can only let your family's Ah Cai burn it for you!" β
Liu Minglou values gold the most, and now when he mentions money, Liu Minglou's face immediately changes, and his little face with red in white is wrinkled, and he is not a person at all with the hideous face of the young man just now.
"My money has not been spent, and if I die, will it not be cheaper for the poor woman and his son, and I don't want to die...... What can you do! β
"I do have a way, but I think it's good to die with you. Liu Gongzi has red lips and white teeth, a young man, and also runs a well-known rare residence in Luoyang, if we go to the underworld, life is not familiar, I and Gongzi can still take care of each other, can see this pretty face every day, even if it is put into the oil pot, every day to suffer the punishment of whipping, there is no harm. β
Thinking that he was put into the oil pot by the little ghost, Liu Minglou only felt as uncomfortable as if he had been burned by fire, and shook Jiang Cailing's arm helplessly, and a pair of round eyes like grapes showed fear, "As long as you are willing to save me, I will agree to the conditions you put forward before, I will not buy fake medicine, and I will earn five or five points!" β
The red lips raised a gorgeous smile, and Jiang Cailing spoke slowly, "Is Liu Gongzi serious?" β
"It's more real than gold!"
"Okay, let go of me first, otherwise how can I help you!"
Hearing this, Liu Minglou obediently let go of his hand, and looked at her with a pair of round eyes wet, which made her think of Ah Gua.
The hand that was gripping his arm finally let go, only to see a purple pinch mark on his white wrist.
Just when the men in Tsing Yi were about to approach with sticks, Jiang Cailing kicked on the earthen wall and climbed over.
Liu Minglou looked at Jiang Cailing in surprise, thinking that Jiang Cailing was about to pull him up, so his white hand was raised high and kicked Jiang Cailing.
Jiang Cailing squatted steadily on the earthen wall, her eyes flashing with amusement, "The little boy is really naΓ―ve, could it be that you really think I will save you!" You really can't do it when I have to partner with you, you don't want the silver that runs into the account, and you also ordered someone to knock me out and buy it for people's teeth, I have long wanted to settle this account with you. β
"You wicked woman! Are you stupid, she framed me! As soon as Liu Minglou's words fell, a stick as thick as an arm fell on him, making him scream in pain.
Jiang Cailing jumped off the wall, not looking at how Liu Minglou was beaten.
In this life, I really want to be kind, but I won't repay my grievances with virtue, if the woman I bought was not her, but a girl who was powerless, selling her teeth to people was almost the same as killing her, that was ruining a woman's life, and it was already cheap for him to let this wanton teenager be beaten.
That pharmacy guy won't kill people, and at the feet of the Son of Heaven, if there is a human life, it will be terrible. Jiang Cailing took ten steps and heard Liu Minglou shouting, "You vicious ugly woman, I, Liu Minglou, will definitely make you regret it!" β
Jiang Cailing continued to be beaten, and there was a waterlogged pit on the side, reflecting her thick and short broad bean eyebrows, red and round blush, and white flour-like face, and said in a brisk voice, "The child really doesn't know how to appreciate it, but it is a beauty in the old Tang Dynasty." β
This sentence was heard by the old woman passing by, and when she heard Jiang Cailing's words, the old woman spoke extremely seriously, "Little girl, the beauty of the old Tang Dynasty was not like you. β
ββ¦β¦β
Jiang Cailing left embarrassedly, ran all the way back to the store agreed with Bai He, changed back into clothes, and bought a few random things before slowly walking out.
Along the way home, when I passed a casino, I heard someone shouting.
Lifting the curtain of the car with her bare hands, Jiang Cailing saw more than ten shirtless men surrounding a young man in brocade clothes in the middle, and scolded in his mouth: "You don't look at what kind of place this is, dare to make a thousand people in our store, I think you don't want both hands!" β
"I'm not out of the woods! That person framed me! The voice came weakly from the encirclement of the big Han, Jiang Cailing, who was about to put down the curtain, felt that this voice was somewhat familiar, and couldn't help but look carefully, only to see that the young man in brocade was the third brother He Zongyao.
At this time, He Zongyao was punched and kicked so that he didn't have half a good flesh on his face, and when the big man saw that he was dressed in a gorgeous costume, he wanted to take off his clothes on the spot.
Jiang Cailing has never liked to meddle in things, and when she left with her son, I don't know how He Zongyao saw Jiang Cailing's sedan chair, pointed to the sedan chair and said, "Look, that's my fifth sister's sedan chair, do you know who my fifth sister is!" But Gu Xiang's wife who has not passed the door! β
He Zongyao is a frequent visitor to the gambling house, and those people "puffed" a mouthful, "You are a foreigner when Lao Tzu is a foreigner, then He Ling'er killed someone, let alone marry Mrs. Gu Ping, even if you are a bed warmer for Lao Tzu, I don't want it." β
As he spoke, several people burst out laughing.
Jiang Cailing's sedan chair did not go far, and when she heard these words, she was not angry in her heart. The apricot eyes flowed, as if a brilliant idea had been thought of, and the red lips were gently raised, like a cat that had stolen the smell of fish.
If she taught those people on the street as He Ling'er today, would there be rumors about "He Ling'er is a shrew"? If these words reached the Gu family, she didn't believe that the Gu family would continue to get married.
Thinking of this, Jiang Cailing smiled and asked the sedan chair man to turn back.
As soon as everyone saw the sedan chair that had gone away just now, they couldn't help but guess Miss He Wu's intentions, and there were more and more onlookers, surrounding the gambling house to an airtight atmosphere, among which there were some loose rice, wandering around the crowd selling melon seeds, rock sugar gourds and other snacks.
As soon as He Ling'er's sedan chair came, everyone consciously gave way to a road, Jiang Cailing did not get off the sedan chair, and asked in a deep voice through a curtain embroidered with pear patterns, "What did you just say?" β
The big man thought what a little girl could have, opened his mouth defiantly, and repeated the sentence just now.
Just after he said the word "warm bed", Jiang Cailing lifted the curtain with his hand, revealing a face that was not angry and arrogant, obviously the corners of his lips were raised, but it gave people an indescribable weirdness.
Dahan didn't expect that this Miss He Wu would have such momentum at such a young age, and she couldn't finish her words.
Another strong man with a bigger physique stood up, "Your brother has a lot of money in our casino, we have to cut off his hands according to the rules, do you want to take care of it?" β
"The rules of the casino? Chop off someone's hands? Jiang Cailing looked straight at each other, her eyes were like a thousand-year-old well, and she couldn't see the emotions inside.
"That's right."
"This is Luoyang, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, but it is clearly and clearly written in "Yuande Shuyi" that you can't do anything to other people in any name that harms the other party's body. Let me think about it, this cutting off the hands of the only son of a family should be that kind of punishment...... Remember, all the participants were sentenced to 10 years in prison. β
"Girl, don't try to deceive Lao Tzu! This is the rule of our gambling house, to cut off your hands! β
Jiang Cailing's face was cold, and a gleam appeared in her apricot eyes, "In other words, the rules of your gambling house are above the laws of the country." You minions are so bold, is it because your master wants to override the pilgrimage, or because you want to rebel! β
Jiang Cailing spoke very quickly, and those people didn't react, so they were labeled as a rebel, "Although you cut off my third brother's hands, then I will go to Jing Zhaoyin to sue you for plotting rebellion in the gambling house, they are all chaotic ministers and thieves, and your wives and children may also be the same party!" The fathers and villagers present today are the certification, and the three of my blood-stained hands are the physical evidence! β
"You ......"
At this time, a man in the gambling house covered his face with a black veil and a gold-inlaid cane in his hand and walked out slowly. He also said that we are thieves and want to rebel! β
"It doesn't matter." When the word came, his voice was hoarse, as if his throat had broken down.
Jiang Cailing looked at this person intently, he was wearing the clothes he wore in the winter this autumn, he couldn't see his face clearly, he couldn't hear his voice, and he couldn't tell his age, he could only know that this person was blind.
"This little girl is right, we are all civilians, I don't know that there are such regulations in the court, since the little girl proposed it today, then the owner of this workshop will want your brother's hands, and he will want a hundred taels of gold, what do you think, girl?"
This blind man really opened his mouth and used so much money to block her.
Anyone in Luoyang who knows the He family knows that almost all of He Minghai's family is subsidized by He Mingshan, and He Zongyao's previous troubles were also settled by him. If he really wants a hundred taels of gold, it will be his family's money.
This blind man obviously wants Jiang Cailing to suffer a little. But it just so happened that she was proficient in gambling, and when she had not yet entered the palace, Jiang Cailing's father was a gambler, she had a smart mind, and she learned it since she was a child. After entering the palace, her master not only taught her to recognize medicine and medicine, but also trained her to be bright and deaf, that is, to practice with a bamboo tube filled with dice, she only needs to listen to know the dice points inside.
And she just said that she was not of good character today, she had not been able to show her shrew skills just now, so it was better to go to the casino to gamble without doing anything, so that Gu Jiming would completely withdraw from her family.
