Chapter 145: Breaking into the Field
In less than five watches, due to the light rain, it was dark and whirring, and the courtyard door of the Li family's east house opened with a bang, and Rong Yan followed Li Laohan out of the east house. (.la good-looking)
"Grandpa, where are we going?" Rong Yan's voice was a little worried, he made such a big mistake, he knelt for a night last night, and when he was dozing off in the early morning, he was secretly called out by his grandfather, it was not dawn in the morning, I don't know how Grandpa was going to attack him, thinking, I couldn't help but shudder.
"Go to Jingli, go to Qingyun Casino." Li Laohan said.
"No, Grandpa, I know it's wrong, I won't gamble in the future, don't hand me over to them." No matter how tough Rong Yan is, he is only a fourteen-year-old half-grown child, and when he heard that it was Qingyun Gambling House, he thought that Grandpa was going to use his life to exchange it for the title deed, so he was frightened and said with a sad face.
"Who said that Grandpa was going to hand you over to them, you are Grandpa's grandson, how could Grandpa hand you over to them." Li Laohan said, carefully closed the courtyard door, and then led Rong Yan with one hand to the town carriage under the dense drizzle.
"So what are you going to do there?" Rong Yan looked at his grandfather and asked, and then followed Li Laohan to walk towards the carriage with one foot and one shallow foot.
"You bet on the deed of the family, and you owe usury, people will not give up, the family can't pay back the money, grandpa can only gamble, win these things back, your kid is too bad this time, this Li family house is handed down by your grandfather's ancestors, if you can't get back the deed and land deed, look at your grandma won't kill you." Li Laohan sighed.
When Rong Yan heard this, he lowered his head, he knew that he had made a big mistake this time. It's not just Grandma, but Daddy also made cruel words last night to break his legs.
"Alright, don't be so downcast. The most important thing for a person to plant a few fights in this life is to learn a lesson, and get up again if he falls. You are still young, as long as you work hard, you can't get back what you have lost. As long as you struggle and never give up, you will not be worse than me in the end. Li Laohan said, this is his epiphany for many years. Li Laohan said, and slapped Rong Yan's head heavily.
"Hmm." Rong Yan nodded heavily.
Soon. When the grandfather and grandson arrived at the door of the carriage shop, the sky was already a little gray, but the fine rain seemed to weave into a mist that enveloped the whole sky, making the sky appear even more gray.
The men at the carriage shop got up early, though it wasn't yet time to get out of the carriage. But take care of the horses and the vehicles, especially the driver of the morning train, who has already begun to feed the horses with forage.
"Yo, Daddy Li, what are you doing so early?" The guy who was busy at the door saw Li Laohan and asked.
"There's something going on, I want to enter Beijing now, and I'll enter the city when the city gate is opened." Li Laohan said.
"Yo, that's not a certainty, we have to get together a carload of people before leaving." The guy was a little embarrassed.
"That's not it. I'll just rent a horse. Li Laohan said, waiting for Ren Qi Na I don't know when to wait, he wants to enter Beijing as soon as possible.
"Daddy, why are you riding a horse with this leg, yes, I'll help you ask." That guy was zealous, originally. Li Laohan's bamboo strip workshop is next door, and there are many contacts on weekdays, besides, the eldest girl of the Li family is still the future daughter-in-law of the Zheng family.
The guy turned around and entered the house, and after a while, the shopkeeper came out, and arched his hand at Li Laohan first: "Daddy Li, the old lady has ordered, your Li family wants to use a carriage, just say hello, you're welcome, I've already told the coachman, he is taking care of it, and he will come over in a while, as soon as you come, you will set off, and it is just when you arrive in Beijing when the city gate is opened." ”
"That's the trouble shopkeeper." Li Laohan thanked him, and he was not polite.
In a few moments, a carriage came out of the backyard, and the coachman was on the frame, beckoning the two to get into the car.
The grandfather and grandson of the Li family got into the car and arched their hands to the shopkeeper standing at the door. As soon as the coachman waved his whip, the carriage came out.
"Daddy Li, what are you two doing in the capital so early? Look at your glamorous dress, like the New Year, go to relatives? The coachman asked curiously as he drove the car.
Li Laohan is dressed as a farmer on weekdays, no different from the old men in the village, but now he is dressed in a foreign suit, and he is wearing a leather hat on his head, which is similar to the dress of the Zhou family master in the town, not to mention, it is not much worse than the style, it is quite like that.
"Hmm." Father Li responded vaguely, but he didn't want to elaborate.
"Oh. Then sit tight, the road is a little uneven. "The coachman carries passengers every day, and there are many people to deal with, and when he heard Daddy Li's tone, he naturally knew that Daddy Li didn't want to say more, so he stopped talking.
In the quiet of the morning, all I heard was the sound of ruts crashing over the road. The speed of the car was not fast, but the misty drizzle was drifting all the way, and the slightest cold wind was still drilling into the car from outside the curtain, and the grandfather and grandson felt a little chill.
Rong Yan couldn't help but lean closer to Li Laohan's side, and Li Laohan patted him on the shoulder.
After more than an hour, the car finally arrived in the capital, Li Laohan thanked the coachman, and then pulled Rong Yan out of the car, the sky was already a little bright, but the city gate had not yet opened, and there were many people waiting outside the city gate, most of them were vegetable farmers who picked vegetables, and wanted to go into the city earlier to sell the vegetables to earn two small money to add some rice oil to the family.
Therefore, at this moment, the city gate is very lively, and at this moment, Li Laohan looked at the closed city gate, but his heart could not be calm for a long time, he thought that he would never come back here until he died in his life, but he didn't expect that God still forced him to return to the capital, and even forced him to enter the casino again.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help stroking the lame leg with one hand, and at the moment the leg was in a faint pain.
It's just that at this moment, he can't be allowed to back down.
"Grandpa, can you really win it back?" Rong Yan couldn't help but ask worriedly.
"It's hard to say, you have to fight hard." Li Laohan said that when it came to this point, he had to make a move, not only for the East House, but also for the West House, because judging from the methods of those people to Rong Yan, these people were eyeing the Li family's big house, otherwise, Rong Yan would be a son and a half. It is impossible for them to lend him so much usury, after all, this practice is still a taboo, and they will not let go even after getting the title deed of the east house. And they continued to lend him money to lure him to continue gambling, for what? Apparently the title deeds and title deeds of Westinghouse. Now these people only get the East House. If you don't get Westinghouse, you won't give up.
Therefore, he must come forward to pay back what Rong Yan owes, and get back the title deed of the East House, so that these people will not have any excuse to make a move.
So, he had to take the risk.
Thinking. Li Laohan couldn't help but smile bitterly, if it was before, who could look down on the Li family's big house, but since the Liuwa Dry River Canal was opened up into the last canal into Beijing, with the establishment of the Guanguan and the West Port. The land here is hot.
After all, the Zheng family of the Zhou family started quickly, and the land of the wheat field, except for the original mill converted into a river work yamen, copying customs, and the wheat field warehouse, the other lands belong to the Zhou family and the Zheng family. Later, the inspection and inspection intervened and got a part of the share from the Zhou family, that is, the entire wheat field, except for the Li family's mansion. The others all belong to the three families of Zhou Zheng and the Cha family.
And the three families of Zhou Zhengcha are not Yi Yu's generation, so the Li family has become the target of others.
Just as he was thinking, the gates opened.
People waiting to enter the city lined up to enter. Li Laohan also limped and pulled Rong Yan into the capital with the flow of people, but he did not go straight to Qingyun Casino, but took Rong Yan to eat at the food stall first, and then the grandfather and grandson entered a medium-sized Four Seas Gambling House on the street.
"Grandpa, didn't you go to Qingyun Casino?" Rong Yan was a little strange.
"We need to save up enough gambling money first." Li Laohan said. If you want to win back the deed of ownership, it is impossible without a large amount of gambling money, so you don't even have the qualifications to gamble, and he obviously can't make money in the Qingyun Gambling House, which will inevitably attract the attention of the people of Qingyun Gambling House, and it will be even more difficult to win back the deed and title deed, so the only way to win the money in other gambling houses is to go to Qingyun Gambling House to win a blow and leave quickly.
Rong Yan seems to understand whether he understands or not, but everything that listens to Grandpa is.
"Yo, what does this uncle want to play?" At this time, as soon as the two entered the blockade, a guy greeted him, and the gamblers who came early in the morning were relatively rare, and the general gamblers were lost early in the morning.
"I'll turn around." Li Laohan said.
"Okay, then you turn around by yourself, there are horse hangings, pai gow, betting, flower meetings, word treasures, etc., in the backyard, there are cockfights, cricket fights, etc., you always look slowly." The fellow sneered, then turned and went to call for someone else. He knew in his heart that the people who came in to play generally didn't like people to follow, so the guys in the casino were all standing on the side, and someone could only call and come forward.
"Hmm." Li Laohan responded, and then pulled Rong Yan up and down one platform after another, and played a few hands with his hands, but after a few hands, he would inevitably change the table, and then took Rong Yan to the backyard, played cockfighting and crickets for a while, and then returned to the front field after playing for a while, and so on, turning around and playing.
"Phew, I'm really bad luck today, I lost without a few games, don't play, don't play, walk." After a while, a middle-aged man in brocade snorted angrily, turned around and walked out of the casino, and then a few more also lost out.
"Well, strange thing, it's a bit evil today, it seems that there are a little more people losing than usual." The guys from the two casinos stood aside and chatted, staying in the casino for a long time, how many people came in, how many people will lose out in a long time, although there is no fixed number of this thing, but these guys stay in the casino every day, but how much can figure out a similar ratio, and generally people who gamble again early in the morning, either the original winner wants to borrow the hand to win a few more, or just came, the waist bag is generally more bulging, but today, it didn't take long, it has lost several times.
In this case, there is a possibility that there is a big winner in it, and one person wins all the money of others, so the rate of losing all the money is high.
"Well, take a closer look." Another guy said. If you meet such a person, you have to stare to death.
At this time, Li Laohan took Rong Yan and prepared to leave, and Rong Yan's face was still swollen and red.
"Yo, uncle, why are you leaving? Look at your bulging pockets, win the suit. The guy who greeted Li Laohan before stepped forward and greeted, the guy in the casino had sharp eyes, and he knew whether he was winning or losing at a glance.
"Hehe, if you win a little, you will accept it when you see it, otherwise, all the leaves will come out." Li Laohan laughed at Mimi.
"Then you'll come back next time." The guy laughed. This situation is common, and the raw hand generally has to let people win, which is the bait.
"Come soon, come soon." Li Laohan nodded hurriedly.
