XQVENZyKlhFCCOismM. Find *book*

The dusk drum sounded, the doors of the fang were closed, and the lights were on.

QnT0vDEefQRrR

All the Huren liquor stores in Dongshi are closed. However, in that place that everyone could not see, it was brilliantly lit, and the smell of incense, sweat, and charcoal were all mixed together, twisting into an indescribable smell.

8NQVRzRy7Yp2T

He Liulang and more than a dozen children in brocade clothes gathered around a bamboo fence one zhang square, red eyes, desperately stomping their feet, clenching their fists, hoarsely at the bamboo fence is beating and pecking, although the head has broken the blood flow and still fighting endlessly, the two chickens roared loudly.

Upstairs, Liu Chang drank the wine served by Maya'er peacefully, squinted his eyes slightly and listened to the noise downstairs comfortably, and asked Qiushi on the side lightly: "The hour is almost there, right?" ”

T90oBIYazo7P. Let's find *books*

Qiu Shi answered, and pedaled down. After a while, he came back and said, "Son, everything is settled."

qhAgQlZQvyQ9H

Then there was a commotion downstairs, some people laughed loudly, and some people shouted and cursed, but it was the end of the game. Liu Chang put down the glass wine glass in his hand, got up, and went out slowly.

2DHdS8dJRcq52V4h

Maya asked Qiu Shi, "But He Liulang won again?" ”

ib7oil8Q4oF6

Qiu Shi smiled: "Exactly, it's hard for him to win or not."

U2eQPCPJVyg2oD7jhthg

Maya touched Qiu Shi's small chest, looked at Qiu Shi's suddenly red face and smiled nonchalantly: "How much did he win?" ”

ubhoczkXhLPQxsdj7ek

Qiu Shi looked at her blue waves-like charming eyes and full red lips and swallowed a mouthful of saliva, trembling and stretched out a finger, and then stretched out another finger: "Tonight, because he is a specially trained chicken king, the stakes are particularly large, he is timid, but the cloth, gold and silver and other things are worth 20 million yuan."

axZ1kE2n4segCMSCEMe

Mayar narrowed her eyes: "Twenty million, that's a lot."

V7pbfSVZL0YNa85L

Qiu Shi boldly touched her snow-white and delicate fingers, salivated and smiled: "It's a lot, but he will return all the profits to his son next, and he will cry when he loses."

MQYVrJimkxq9

Maya raised her eyebrows, slapped his restless hand with a "snap", and turned her face and said, "What are you touching?" What a bold little guy, you might as well try it in front of your son-in-law? ”

difKpJPNnZX0zN5YdO

Qiu Shi said aggrievedly: "Didn't you touch me first?" ”

YlEqPJT5bGa78gBuFHr

Maya smiled charmingly, pinched his cheek and shook it a few times, and said, "I can touch you, but you can't touch me, you know?" Then his skirt whirled, turned around and floated away, leaving the stupid Qiu Shi standing there in a daze.

41GYbTdCTKZfr

Maya Er leaned on the railing and looked down with great interest, a new cockfight downstairs began to be staged again, and there was another barrage next to it, and there were He Liulang among the gamblers, as well as a few well-known gentlemen in Beijing. He Liulang's face was full of red light, and his voice was louder than in the past, and he was throwing arrows and shouting loudly, so he was so proud. Liu Chang stood in the shadows, crossed his arms, and looked at He Liulang and the others with a gloomy face, not knowing what he was thinking.

6EDRKOn4vPDjH

Gradually, He Liulang's smile slowly faded, unable to continue, fine beads of sweat came out from the tip of his forehead and nose, he bit his lip stubbornly, his eyes did not dare to leave the chessboard, and his Adam's apple was obviously extremely nervous with the swallowing action. On the contrary, his opponent has a relaxed smile.

PX9GUULANdLY

I'm probably going to lose it all. Maya shook her head pathetically, it seems that the girl of the He family did not pay attention to the reminder she kindly gave. As if she couldn't bear to see the next tragic ending, she wandered away and looked around, and suddenly, she found several strange-faced people in the shadows opposite Liu Chang.

QETvr3qvXXzlV

Those few people stood by the door, dressed in flowers, all young, with ordinary faces, some of them followed Liu Chang and crossed their arms to watch the excitement, and some looked around and whispered and laughed. But they all have one thing in common, their eyes are always on every corner and everyone in the field.

mjkTHGr0sCJUJiL6FjJC

These people had been here a few times in the past, but she hadn't noticed, they looked a little different today, they all had knives and their eyes were blazing. Mayar finally got a little spirited, and she looked further away, and she was even more uplifted. There was a man who slept in the shadows with his hands on his sleeves, cowering into a ball, wearing a bearded hat with ears, covering most of his face, looking like a little guy brought by someone's family, unable to wait for the greedy master, so tired that he slept first. But the figure looked familiar. Although she had only seen it a few times, she could be sure that the person was the attendant of the He family's youngest daughter.

stnry9rRPPiJS

Mayar turned her gaze back to those people, was it a group? What do you want to do? One of them, with a small mustache, seemed to notice her gaze and looked up. His gaze was not sharp, but cold, and Mayar intuitively disliked his gaze. She immediately smiled at the man and threw a wink, and the man actually gave her a look back and grinned at her.

tBjONgr4Luxyft

But then, He Liulang stood up and said, "I won't gamble anymore" His opponent sneered: "I haven't said to stop, you stopped?" There was no such rule in the past. How much money did you win from me? Today's luck is good, so let you be broken? ”

1fgHzUYfI0

He Liulang said angrily: "Do you dare to force it?" ”

7BTEAGbDyOSNXcRFbe

The other party smiled, bent down and pulled out a sharp dagger from the boot, and slammed it in front of him: "What did you just say?" ”

m0hkvoAffZ8kZ4it6Ch

He has already lost everything, and he still owes a lot of debt, and if he gambles again, he will lose all his trouser belts...... He Liulang's face turned pale, looking at the gamblers he had made friends with in the past, hoping that someone would intercede for him and let him stop, but he saw that everyone was looking at him and laughing ruthlessly.

XOkSnQ6tCIb0E

Suddenly, someone suddenly shouted: "The internal guards are not allowed to move here" Everyone was silent, stopped moving, and looked at the source of the sound together, and finally saw those people clearly.

5ErOT8NmXmL5Ycc

The law says: Those who gamble on gambling shall have a hundred rods each; Take Bo as an example, and the rest of the drama is all there. Those who have stolen heavy goods will be divided according to themselves, and they will be considered thieves. The loser is also divided into subordinate sittings according to himself.

pTxzBYUa5xlHX4fExBl

But there are a lot of open and dark casinos everywhere, and the imperial court is not so wide. Besides, this time has always been known for its secrecy, and it is said that there is a backstage, so everyone will be so relieved and bold. But today the guards are here, for whatever reason, they are here

14z8sVTnKU2ARREmm

Seeing clearly the waist card in the hand of the visitor, the audience was in an uproar, and everyone was like a headless fly, either desperately grabbing the belongings in front of them, rushing to the door desperately, or running upstairs in a daze. There are also those who were stupid and stood still, such as He Liulang.

gCYinENZDE49c5h0eEX

The little mustache "cang" out of the sheath, both hands clenched the horizontal knife, and slashed at the nearest slash, which was broken in half. The mustache roared hoarsely: "The internal guards handle the case, and there are so many people who do not obey the order."

QL1PIzMcZ9Hmf

Some people don't believe in evil, and try to go forward to have a relationship with the mustache, but before they can get to the front, they are kicked over, and the cold back of the knife is slapped on the face a few times, so frightened that they urinate, and they no longer dare to act rashly. The internal guard handles the case, and the cold face is ruthless.

XB9hLm1BQM

Maya raised her eyes and looked at the place where Liu Chang had been standing before, and Liu Chang had long since disappeared. She smiled faintly and ran quite fast. It's a pity that no one knows about the other secret door and no one guards it, otherwise you can see how the glamorous Liu Sicheng will face these fierce internal guards. However, this time, Liu Sicheng can be regarded as capsizing in the gutter, and the loss is huge.

E0ri5MqG8qJknf

The mustache swaggered and led a few people, swept from downstairs to upstairs, drove everyone except the women into a corner, surrounded the bamboo fence used for cockfighting, and everyone treated equally, squatting on the ground and holding their hands and heads, and whoever moved a little was a kick. He swept away all the belongings in the field, and led people to smash the big iron cabinet in the field containing all kinds of bills and debts, and took half of the paper inside.

aNSakUn4At9fBe

After doing all this, the mustache stood on the edge of the fence with a knife in one hand, and every time he clicked on one, the person would be dragged out mercilessly. all know that if you fall into the hands of the internal guards, you have to shed your skin if you don't die, and for a while, the voices of crying fathers and mothers come and go.

4tq2MybaMyMfsYsaV

He Liulang held his head in fear, and his eyes glanced around flexibly, but he saw that there were people he knew and some he didn't know who were dragged out, most of them were children of official families, or gambled greatly on weekdays, and there were a few village heads. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and it seemed that he probably wouldn't find him.

nN3Fd80YgC

Just thinking about it like this, I heard someone say: "You, come out" The people who were desperately squeezing around him just now dodged away on both sides, He Liulang looked at the mustache in disbelief, did he mean him?

Z9F8KpSSDBIjx

The mustache was impatient, squinted his eyes, and slashed the horizontal knife in his hand at him, a cold light flashed, He Liulang suddenly felt that his legs and feet were weak, and the cold sweat soaked his clothes in an instant. He was dragged out in a daze, he looked at the mustache with wide eyes, and muttered, "I didn't bet much, I lost all, and there were other people ......"

1hBZv3TzzLt9VnTUYt0

The mustache glanced at him coldly, swallowing back the second half of his sentence in fright. The people who were picked out were huddled together, looking at Xiao Hu and the others in horror, Xiao Hu smiled and beckoned to Maya upstairs: "Beauty, the night is long, come down and pour wine for you."

6rE3muShqt2syktScd2

Mayar clapped her hands, and several beautiful orchids came out, went downstairs happily, poured wine for everyone, and began to persuade them to drink. Xiao Hu and the others didn't drink much, each of them only held a glass, sipped it carefully, and sat down to rest.

giS0v56cdbrp0FEHhi

He Liulang had been squatting in the corner tremblingly in the same position, not knowing what would await him after dawn. He didn't understand why so many people in the field hadn't been singled out, and bad luck had just fallen on him. Obviously, he was very lucky in the first half of the night, how could he lose in the second half of the night? And it has come to such a point. He regretted it very much, he shouldn't have played with the cattail, he should have kept playing cockfighting, and his luck would not have turned around.

r07LDEL8uSkOJt

Hearing the whispers of several people who were also singled out on the side, worried and frightened, He Liulang's mind turned from the loss of money, the sudden bad luck, and the disappointment and frustration of the gambler who suddenly turned his face.

SBRzB05Cv3K3a

"If you lose five things, you will sit for a year in prison, and if you lose a lot with a hundred rods, you will also be sentenced to prison and beaten. He Liulang didn't dare to lament the unfairness anymore, but began to think about the imminent crisis, and for the sake of safety, he didn't even bring a little one. At this time, he was taken in by the internal guards, and the family didn't know where he went, and he was going to die inside...... Even if he informed his family, He Zhizhong would kill him when he came back...... But compared to being beaten to death by He Zhizhong in the future, and being taken to that unknown place to make life and death even more frightening.

TfNXmh7jsH1RyG

He Liulang eagerly chased Maya'er, trying to make eye contact with her, suggesting that she went to the door to talk to the family, and wanted to fish him out no matter what. But in the past, Maya'er, who had a sweet mouth and received a lot of rewards from him, kept bowing her head and playing Hu Konghou, singing cheerful songs, and didn't look at him.

kcyglMpjYnVAu3

Finally, the mustache drank the last sip of wine, got up and told everyone to lead a string of people, carrying a few large boxes full of gold, silver, jewelry, and brocades, and prepared to get up. The people who were about to be taken away suddenly blew up, shouting that it was unfair, and the other people who stayed behind secretly said that they were lucky, and the mustache sneered: "What, do you still want to add a level of guilt?" Whoever calls grandpa again will be knifed first

gDk6Ohdj13kOU

The whining and grumbling have stopped. The mustache smugly glanced at the people who shrunk their heads, waved his hand: "Go" and then walked away.

ihgXzqJ1HA9iK

The rest of the people didn't dare to come out, and they didn't dare to move, they still squatted with their heads in their hands. Until Maya smiled and said, "When the people are gone, do you want to get up and drink some wine to suppress the shock?" ”

jdlP4fHTS

Everyone staggered up, moved their numb legs and feet, asked the orchids to drink, scolded and complained, wondering if there was a traitor and who the traitor was, and then began to calculate how much property they had lost, and wanted to settle accounts with the master's family, but the master's family must have been gone a long time ago, and everyone had no choice but to sit and wait for dawn and curse in a low voice.

Qz0IAHLTP3Bi5snb

The surroundings were busy and noisy, and Guizi tightened the cotton robe on his body and found a corner to squat down. Seeing that it was about to dawn, I suddenly heard someone ask, "Who are you?" Why haven't I seen you before? Then the collar was grabbed. But it was a drunken drunk man who looked at him suspiciously with red eyes, and with this shout, many pairs of eyes looked over. Everyone had just passed through that incident, they were shocked, frightened and painful, and they urgently needed a punching bag, and when they saw strangers, they all felt that they were spies, and their eyes were naturally kind.

GPJYM4nHqIaU3i

Guizi was in a panic, on the surface, he still pulled his collar unhurriedly, and was about to speak, when suddenly a fragrant wind hit, Maya Er smiled: "Isn't this the old man in Gongzi Zhang's family?" Your son-in-law was taken away this time, you have to be careful to peel off the skin when you go back to report the news

CguMK4GGsnz9tE

Seeing that Maya recognized people, the drunk let go and pushed Guizi away. Guizi looked at Maya and saluted: "Thank you."

Eq0vGcTo3PXmvGYPmO

Maya'er's eyes were as silky: "Tell your son-in-law that she owes me a favor."

Ohah0hTObfJokQNoqJ4

The morning bell rang, the door opened, but the east market had not yet opened, until dawn, the loud cymbals sounded, and the city gate was opened. Guizi walked out in a group of gamblers with their heads hanging their heads, turned around cautiously, looked back from time to time, and made sure that no one was following, before returning to Xuanpingfang He's house.

UqcOuISrNc59hbFg

The He family was as calm and serene as ever, Erlang and Wulang had already gone to the shop as usual, and the women were happily talking and doing things with Mrs. Cen in the main room. Compared with the energetic crowd, Peony and Mrs. Cen have never slept well all night, and they are a little sluggish, pricking up their ears to listen to the movements outside at any time, and they have to cheer up to deal with others.

6MVV9izj9b9as

Suddenly, the curtain was gently lifted, Shu'er poked her head in, Peony and Mrs. Cen exchanged glances, and immediately found an excuse to get up and go out. Shu'er said in a low voice: "Guizi is back, just waiting outside, Peony nodded, walked out of Mrs. Cen's courtyard unhurriedly, and only then did he go out of the second gate, and immediately quickened his pace.

BSOo7DLOst4lVcf3rU

Guizi sat alone in the wing, surrounded by a charcoal basin, holding a large bowl of hot soup cakes, and eating happily. When he saw Peony come in, he immediately put the bowl and got up to salute. Peony hurriedly stopped him: "I've been tired all night, I've worked hard." Don't worry, sit and fill your stomach first

G6pRfn5QB1vhG9b3gY

Guizi smiled innocently, quickly finished eating the soup cakes, got up and told the story of the incident, and said in a low voice: "Guo Duwei said that he originally wanted to take this breath for you, but it is really impossible to seal it up, so it can only be done to this point." He asked the little one to ask the lady, how long do you want to keep people? You have the final say

r9jxF6YsicJOdsI

"I didn't want to seal it up, so it's already very wishful Peony pondered for a moment, and said quietly: "Let's keep him for a month." He must be made to endure hardships so that he will never forget it and dare not do it again

ioTimsAgVnkH

Guizi nodded: "The little one knew that he hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Last night, the little one saw the one surnamed Liu." But later, as soon as the internal guard spoke, the person slipped away, probably because there was another secret door

k3PFCBBXRy6g6G

Peony pursed her mouth, sure enough, there is no place in the world to meet.

Qbhxme8Eick6tA

Guizi saw that her face was not good, and hurriedly said: "No matter who set the trap, in short, it is broken, and stealing chickens does not make rice, and this loss is also very heavy, even if it is not confiscated, it will take a long time to recover." The gold and silver at the scene are limited, but the bills and debts in the iron cabinet have been taken away, so how much is it worth?

M9xmlJVEjneOoSmd7QIy

Anyway, the heart-sick peony was finally removed temporarily, and he breathed a sigh of relief: "You go and rest first, and send over the things I promised to Guo Duwei tomorrow, and then thank him for me." And Maya'er, you can also go on a trip and send a gift

SNAUHFqnG6OD3c

The noble son answered, bowed and withdrew.

TrMsOrzCKyXpyh

Peony took the copper chopsticks and gently stirred the charcoal ashes, in order to solve this matter, she racked her brains, discussed with Mrs. Cen, Erlang, and Wulang before making a plan, and then asked people everywhere. But I didn't expect that a person like Guizi knew a lot of people, and he quickly caught the line of Guo Duwei, although he spent a lot of money, he did things cleanly. Guo Duwei is a person from the internal guard, and he also made a lot of money this time, and he took what he needed, she was not afraid that the person behind the casino would find her, but this Maya'er, who helped her several times, what did she want?

KbBx0FxSeV96pofz

But it was said that last night, He Liulang staggered, stumbling in the cold wind, and seeing the mustache holding the waist card majestically let people open the door of the workshop, bringing everyone into the unknowable darkness, he suddenly wanted to cry, and some missed the rest of the family, including the people he couldn't get used to.

ZJvcznrtqBm7VIHnIVQc

He didn't know how long he had walked, but at last he stopped, and entered a Hessian gate, and then a cold door, and no one interrogated them, and they were thrown into a damp, cold, light-seeing, and smelly cell.

a6JPcY9THOg3xm

I don't know how long it took, but one of the people in the cell was brought out and never came back, and after some time, another person was brought out and didn't come back. There was no light in sight in the cell, no morning and dusk, and no one to bring them water or food, and He Liulang could not count the hours, but he knew that he was numb with hunger, and woke up three sleeps, and all the people who went in with him had been carried away, leaving him alone in it. Cold and hungry, silent, lonely.

lj5UPfcjulF1o7ENF

He woke up hungry twice, and he thought desperately, he wouldn't be forgotten in this, would he? Will he be starved to death in this? The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was completely possible, and when he thought that he would die, he was already hungry and paralyzed, and suddenly had the strength, struggled to reach the door, shook the door vigorously, and shouted loudly in a hoarse voice: "Come on, come on, come on, let me out"

MTIKjx9jvb6G3IMhz24y

The hoarse sound passed through the fence, drifted into the empty corridor outside, and disappeared weakly, and then there was no sound at all. He didn't shout for long, and then he didn't have the spirit to shout anymore, and lay limply on the cold ground, half-open eyes that were the same as if they weren't open, panting weakly. He was going to die here, he thought desperately, and he fell into a faint slumber again.

SygOGuDxSoE2bxpMTN9

When he woke up, he was pleasantly surprised to smell the smell of food, and he cautiously fumbled for a cold bowl with half a bowl of boiled porridge. He would never have looked at such a coarse food before, but now he felt that it was more precious and rare than gold and precious stones. He trembled and picked it up, and drank it in one gulp, which was unprecedentedly sweet, but unfortunately the more he ate, the more hungry he became, and there was not enough stuffing between his teeth, so he stretched out his tongue and washed the dishes clean.

ypYVj5kr064XhRyAl

Life gradually became regular, and every hour there was a bowl of vegetable porridge and two cold and hard coarse grains, as well as half a jar of cold water. He Liulang used to keep track of the length of his days according to the number of meals served, but in the future, he was hungry for a long time, and he often slept in order to maintain his strength, so he lost that interest. But when he remembered the good old days, he began to curse.

ihNHyXvTRQgTCEkP

scolded the person who opened the casino for having no ability, cheated him, scolded the internal guard for not being human, treated him unfairly, and scolded his family for having no conscience, he disappeared for so long, no one cared about his life or death, and also scolded his gambling friends for having no conscience, they are all vicious villains who forget their righteousness. His cursing voice was very quiet - there was not much food, and even scolding had to conserve his strength.

DxSKP7cs2PvBuKLPxjq

After scolding, he began to sobb in a low voice again, if only He Zhizhong were here, no one in the family would dare to treat him like this. He hated that the Sun family was unproductive, hated Aunt Yang for not doing anything, and then hated Mrs. Cen for being vicious...... After complaining to everyone, he felt a little more comfortable and fell asleep again.

DZKVk8Tdpe4JiiOrq

Half-asleep and half-awake, he suddenly heard a knock at the door, and he quickly opened his eyes, but saw two jailers holding torches aloft and standing at the door, saying, "Take you to the execution."

uJPGtZ21p9mL9x

He Liulang panicked: "I will not sin to death"

UG6Zuti3636Htj

The two jailers were amused when they heard this, squeezed their eyebrows and looked at each other for a long time, and said, "Execution of cane punishment." Your boy is lucky, he was supposed to beat you with a hundred rods, and he could beat you to the end of the flower at once, but your family made money, and beat you with five rods a day. You can take your time

graebPUk9KCHbO37cN

He Liulang suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. That is to say, he had to stay up for twenty days to finish the hundred rods.

Let's look for books
