As soon as he heard that there was silver, Qiao Qi hurriedly kowtowed, "Childe, please say, what Qiao Qi can do, he will definitely live up to his trust." ”

I nodded, "It's not a big deal, I heard that your Yuliang son Mobao is very good, and I've always wanted to see it." You can take a few pieces of papyrus paper on weekdays at will, and then pay attention to the law of Yuliang Gongzi going to Qing'an Temple, and every time he goes out, let me know in advance. ”

He said, "Childe's order Qiao Qi will naturally do it, but Yulin Courtyard has a rule that you can't leave on weekdays, if it weren't for Yuliang's order, the little one wouldn't even be able to go to the Yinhong Mansion next door, I'm afraid that I won't be able to notify Gongzi in time." ”

I said, "You don't have to worry about that. I will send someone to guard the gate of Yulin Courtyard, you will not leave Yulin Courtyard for too long, and naturally it will not arouse suspicion. ”

After speaking, I took out a piece of silver from my sleeve and threw it to him, "This is the tea money for you, after the deed is completed, I will give you a hundred taels of silver tickets, you can go." ”

"Thank you, thank you, Childe......" Qiao Qi kowtowed several times in a row, grabbed the silver, and stumbled away.

When he ran away, Li Jiu stepped forward and asked me, "Engong, aren't you afraid, after he leaves, don't you do what you instruct?" ”

I smiled.

He lost two taels of silver in the gambling house, and if he had money, he would be beaten into a pig's head and almost chopped off his fingers.

I gave him the sweetness of a dozen taels of silver, and after the silver ran out, he naturally thought of more silver taels.

What I ask him to do is a small thing for him, and if you do a little thing, you can make a lot of money, and he will naturally do it for me.

As for the people guarding the gate of the Yulin Courtyard......

Among the people Li Jiu called before, wasn't there a stall to tell fortunes? I think he's fine.

Set up a stall to tell fortunes, not all the same wherever you put it, just go to the gate of Yulin Courtyard, and do things for me by the way, wouldn't you kill two birds with one stone.

After explaining to Li Jiu, he nodded again and again, and after the test of several things, I found that Li Jiu was upright and did what he said, and he was really a prodigal son.

I took out the title deed of the Jucai Gambling House, filled in my name on the transfer form, and then put it together and handed it to him, saying, "I have something to do on weekdays, and I can't always come out." You're someone I trust, and I see that you have some research on gambling. I'll leave this gambling house to you to manage for me for the time being. ”

Li Jiu was stunned, and his eyes overflowed with shock, "Engong, this ...... This is unacceptable! ”

"Can't do it, how can't you do it? Could it be that what you said about honoring me and serving me all your life was just a casual remark? ”

He pounced and knelt down, and said with red eyes, "Engong, what Li Jiu said is heartfelt, there is no half-falsehood, Li Jiu knelt on the street for three days at that time, but he couldn't get the money for his father's coffin, he was already desperate at that time, and felt that God didn't even give me a chance to change, it was Engong who gave Li Jiu a chance, Li Jiu is willing to go to the soup for Engong and be loyal to Engong for the rest of his life!" ”

"That's it." I stepped forward and pulled him up from the ground, and said, "Since what you said is not false, and you are willing to recognize me as the master, how can this gambling house not be controlled?" ”

Li Jiu lowered his head and said ashamedly, "Engong." Li Jiu was young and frivolous, although he had been in private school for a few years by his parents, he had been in a daze all these years. The scale of this gambling house is so large, Li Jiu has never learned how to handle business, and he doesn't know anything about entering and exiting accounts, how can he withstand such a trust. ”

I laughed a little and said, "Since I want to leave the gambling house in your hands, I recognize you as my man." You can learn if you don't know how to handle business, and you can learn if you don't know how to fill in accounts.

Difficult things are afraid of people with hearts. As long as you are willing to learn, there is nothing you can't learn.

Since you are with me, you are no longer the Li Jiu who used to be in the market, I don't care what you were like before, in the future, you must make a name for yourself.

This is my first casino, and there will be a second, third, and fourth in the future. You lost the deed here, and now the deed of the gambling house is in your hands, why don't you take care of it for me? Don't you want to be lazy and learn from me to be a hands-off shopkeeper? ”

"Engong, Li Jiu didn't mean that!" His face flushed.

"Since that's not what I mean, then take the title deed. Three days later, bring some brothers who have believed in the past and take over the gambling house for me! ”

Li Jiu took the house deed and title deed, and looked at me again, and tears were hidden in his eyes.

He threw himself to his knees and knocked me three times.

"Engong, you trust Li Jiu so much, from now on, Li Jiu's life is yours. Li Jiu will help you take care of this gambling house first, and you will definitely live up to the trust of your father! ”

After saying that, he kowtowed to me three more times.

I smiled slightly, pulled him up, and after briefly instructing him about something, it was already late.

When I calculated, it was nearly two hours after such a toss. Only then did I remember that Ji Yun was often queued up on the street corner by me to buy osmanthus cakes.

After so long, the scholar was afraid that he would have gone back early. When he finds out that I'm missing, he might go straight to the General's Mansion.

If I had gone to the General's Mansion and saw that I hadn't gone back, he might have sent someone out to look for me, after all, he didn't send me back safely.........

If that's the case, you'll be in trouble!

I have to go to Flower Street at night, and if I am found and brought back to the house, I can casually break the whereabouts of these hours, and the next thing will be delayed.

A little impatient, I told Li Jiu to take a few shrewd people to wait for me in the flower street first, and quickly went back to the snack street with the green beads, wanting to see if he brought someone to find it again, and then think of a way.

As soon as I arrived at the snack street, I was stunned, Ji Yunchang didn't leave, but with a stinky face, holding a rock sugar gourd in one hand and an osmanthus cake in the other, standing in front of the stall that lined up before.

"Less...... Young master, you see, they are back. The boy looked happy, and I was also relieved.

Ha...... It's good that you didn't go to the General's Mansion, and if you delay the time, you can go to Flower Street......

I strode over to him, and was about to say something to make an opening statement, but he spoke first with a stinky face.

"Where have you been for half a day......

"Uh......," I said, anxiously, "to chase the thief, and then we went to the hut." ”

He looked at the big bag and small wrap that Lu Zhu was carrying in his hand, "You take food to the thatched house?" ”

"Uh...... Of course not, the thatched hut we took turns to go to got lost after coming out, and it took a big circle to come back. ”

I didn't believe it after I said it myself, and it is estimated that Ji Yunchang would not believe it, but he didn't say anything, glanced at the sugar gourd in his hand that had already melted away, and said, "I can't eat this, I'll buy one for you later." ”

Then he looked at the osmanthus cake again, and seemed to frown, "It doesn't seem to be too fresh, do you still want it?" ”

Forehead...... Of course not.

It's already time to apply, and the Oiran competition is about to start, and in front of this osmanthus cake stall, there can be more than 100 people in the queue at this time, and a fool will say it again.

I shook my head.

He looked at the sky and said, "It's late, are you still going to go shopping?" ”

What he meant was that he wanted to send me back, but I pretended to be stupid and said, "I think, I've been in a hurry to get lost just now, and it's safe to find you, so let's just go shopping." With that, I walked down the alley. After taking two steps, I turned around, "I'll go back to the meeting by myself, otherwise, you can go back to the Hou Ye's Mansion first!" ”

He seemed to frown, and said, "I promised grandma that I would send you home, if you want to go shopping, I will accompany you." After saying that, he gave the boy what he was holding and followed with his back.

This tail can't be shaken off today, but fortunately, Li Jiu was arranged in Huajie in advance, he just followed if he wanted to, and acted when the time came.

I was in a bit of a hurry, so I walked very fast, and I turned left and right into a side alley.

The alley was very dark, with no lights in front and back, and if it weren't for the fact that it hadn't been dark, I wouldn't have been able to find the exit when I walked in.

I walked briskly, and Ji Yunchang suddenly took two quick steps to stop me.

"What for?"

He shushed and whispered, "Don't talk, someone's coming." ”

I listened intently, and sure enough, I heard footsteps, and then, seven or eight men in black appeared at the end of the alley with bright knives.

"Over there!" The man in black at the head pointed with a knife.

"Let's go." Ji Yun often pulled me up and left, and before I had taken a few steps, a few black-clothed people appeared at the alley in front of me.

Ji Yun Changyi frowned, "Have you offended anyone?" ”

I asked rhetorically, "Why didn't you offend anyone?" ”

He said, "I rarely come out, but after you leave, I have been standing in place, so naturally I will not offend people." ”

Stand still......

I suddenly remembered the melted sugar gourd, "It's so hot, you won't stand under the sun all the time, will you?" ”

The black-clothed men on both sides of the alley approached the outflank, he seemed to frown, took out the small crossbow from his arms and handed it to me, and then pulled back his sleeves to reveal the hidden arrows inside.

The small crossbow has been repaired, and the original silk thread has been replaced with a hard black iron wire, which should not be easily broken.

I hurriedly tied the crossbow to my arm and put on the ring, but I heard him say quietly, "Don't stand still, I'm afraid you won't find me when you come back." ”

"Whoosh......"

He pressed the mechanism, and the Hidden Arrow burst through the air and stabbed one of them in the shoulder, and the other snorted in pain and fell to the ground.

"Rush! Destroy them for me! The man in black at the head rushed over with a knife.

Ji Yun often turned around, searched for two arrows, and two more men in black fell.

This kung fu, the man in black on the other side of the alley also raised his knife and approached, the green beads screamed in fright, I flattened my arm, pulled the ring violently, and three arrows flew out, followed by three arrows, penetrating the bodies of several people behind, one of which pierced the heart of a person and broke out, a strong fishy breath erupted, and the person was directly dead.

"Ahh Help me! Green Bead shouted as if it was torn, and squatted on the ground with his head in his hands.

My little crossbow can only send out six arrows, and Ji Yunchang's sleeve arrows don't have too many arrow feathers, seeing that there are still three or four big men running over with their knives raised, every step is full of killing machines, my instinct is to tremble, suffer, I won't hang here today, right?

Who is going to put me to death?
