Chapter 8: Jinyue Gambling House
"Big, big...."
"Small, I've opened two big ones, and he's big, ..... small."
In the Jinyue gambling house, there was a burst of shouts from time to time, noisy and lively, deeply attracting Qin Feng, who had just stepped in.
He touched the 30,000 taels of silver tickets in his arms, and couldn't help frowning, complaining about his father, so stingy, the son of the richest man in Zhongzhou was not ashamed to carry only 30,000 taels of silver tickets.
"Third Brother Qin, why are you so late today, my brother has won tens of thousands of taels, just waiting for you."
A man in a brocade robe wearing a white brocade robe embroidered with gold silk birds walked over, with oily hair and a pair of triangular eyes showing his ruffian, and as he spoke, he put his hand on Qin Feng's shoulder.
Qin Feng was obviously familiar with him, scolded with a smile, and said:
"After winning a few bucks, he came to me to show off, and I had itchy hands when I said it, which table, don't hurry up and take me over."
The man smiled, pointed to a table not far away, and said:
"Isn't this anywhere, the table where the Zhu family is standing is rich, let's go over, but brother, this table is at least 50,000 taels, have you brought enough money?"
Hearing this, Qin Feng's face changed, it was really a pot that could not be opened, and he already owed 50,000 taels of silver to the gambling house, but now how could he have any money left, thinking so, looking at the man's gaze, he asked:
"Zheng Er, just now you said you won, how much did you win?"
"This, I'll calculate, if you don't have 100,000 taels, you can have 80,000 taels, what's the matter, Third Brother Qin won't really bring enough money, right?"
After the man called Zheng Er finished speaking, he looked at Qin Feng's face a little differently.
Qin Feng nodded slightly and said:
"Isn't this my eldest brother going to the capital, my father means to divide the shop, and the money will not be able to turn over for a while, Zheng Er, you borrow my two sons first, and Ming'er will pay you back double."
Hearing this, Zheng Er laughed, patted Qin Feng's shoulder, and said:
"Third brother, what are these words, I, Zheng Er, am a stingy person, you can take 80,000 taels, what do you need to pay back."
After hearing this, Qin Feng was moved in his heart, this Zheng Er, he really didn't admit his mistake, he was a good one, and said:
"Zheng Er, brother knows that you are a good person, if you have any difficulties in the future, just say it, brother will do his best to help you."
Hearing this, Zheng Er smiled, and then said:
"You don't need to help, but the third brother, you don't have your own treasury, you don't have anything to lose, and you won't be tied up if you don't have money in the family, you look at me, I have nearly 800,000 yuan of silver, even if my father doesn't give me money, I can also waste everywhere."
Hearing this, Qin Feng was not moved, and hurriedly asked:
"Zheng Er, what do you say is this external shortage, during this time, I am really strapped for nothing, but I am helpless."
Zheng Er smiled, put his hand on Qin Feng's ear, and said softly:
"Of course, that's a good way to make money quickly, Yangzhou Thin Horse, you know, this is the most lucrative errand in recent years, and the younger the better, your brother and I, three trips to business a year, you look at ....."
Hearing this, Qin Feng was stunned for a moment, then looked at Zheng Er, and asked:
"So you asked me the day before yesterday for a child about ten years old, and you paid such a high price to do this business?"
Zheng Er nodded and said:
"Isn't it, there was a big deal in the capital recently, with a bid of 500,000, you said that this resale, 200,000 yuan will not be in hand, there are still a lot of people robbing this business, but that person has a high vision, and the people we sent, he can't be hearted."
Hearing Zheng Er's slightly regretful tone, Qin Feng was originally a little lively, but at this time, he was even more lively, and he didn't even want to gamble, so he asked:
"Where is the person in the capital you said, you take me to meet, maybe I have two in my hand, and see if they fit in."
After Zheng Er listened, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, and he said:
"Of course it's okay, I'll go and make an appointment with you, and I'll give you a letter, and you'll come with the portrait, and if it happens, it would be great."
Qin Feng nodded absentmindedly, all he was thinking about was Jiang Zhi's appearance now, that look, how could it be enough to catch the eye.
……..
When Jiang Zhi came back from school just before noon, she put down her cloth bag and looked at the charcoal placed on the table, but she didn't see Goose Ling, and shouted:
"Taoyao, where's Goose Ling?"
Hearing Jiang Zhi's words, Tao Yao hurriedly put down the work in his hand, ran in, and said:
"Miss, the slave maid went to the mansion of the captain of the capital, but... Feng Duwei said that the most precious thing on the goose is the goose feather, but if there is one missing, it is not beautiful, and the slave and maid are not allowed to pull it out. ”
Hearing Tao Yao's words, Jiang Zhi nodded, although she had some regrets in her heart that she couldn't make quills, but it was okay to have charcoal, so she would draw the ring first.
Seeing that Jiang Zhi didn't speak, Tao Yao thought that Jiang Zhi was angry, and hurriedly said:
"Miss, the slave maid really went to beg Feng Duwei, but Feng Duwei said that the head can be broken and the blood can be shed, but Mao must not be without, and what is said is that the feather is heavier than Mount Tai, it is so scary, the slave and maid ....."
When Jiang Zhi heard this, she couldn't help but 'poof' and laughed, what is this, she put down her pen and said:
"Okay, I know everything, you go and do your thing, I have something to do."
Tao Yao saw Jiang Zhi smiling, so she breathed a sigh of relief, took a step, and went to do other things with a smile.
Because of the charcoal, Jiang Zhi quickly sketched the jade ring in her dream, as well as the man's right hand, which was clearly bitten off by the yellow dog, no matter what, it will definitely leave a scar.
In other words, the person who was there that night was not Lin Xin at all, but when she asked, why didn't Lin Xin defend himself, what did he know, and why didn't he say it......
Jiang Zhi felt that things seemed to be getting more and more difficult, and there were some details that she had missed, but at that time, she had just crossed over, and her whole mind was vague, some remembered, and some didn't remember at all.
On the rice paper, the heavy and realistic jade ring lay quietly in the painting, as if shining with an emerald green light, which made Jiang Zhi distracted for a long time.
Regardless of whether the man in black was Lin Xin or not, at least the ring on his hand disappeared, Jiang Zhi had a feeling that as long as he found this jade ring, he could find the murderer, and everything would fall into place.
"Miss, Sister Daoxiang next to the old lady is here, it seems that the eldest young master has come back from Chaoyun Village, let you go over."
Tao Yao walked in and said crisply.
"Chaoyun Village?"
Jiang Zhi Weileng, what did this cousin do when he went to Chaoyun Village, did he go to investigate the case of Qin Lan's death, so when he came back, did it mean that there was news about the case.
Thinking of this, Jiang Zhi hurriedly put down the charcoal, put a roll of rice paper on the table into the purse around her waist, and told Tao Yao to take care of Jiang Li and Jiang Xi, and followed Daoxiang to Qingyun Courtyard.
