Long Tianba told his father what happened today, and was filled with indignation: "It must have been done by the people of the 'Heaven and Earth' club!" He deceived people too much, detained all the valuable things on my body, and sent people to beat me...... Dad, you must make the decision for me! ”

As soon as Long Yikui entered Beijing, he inquired clearly, the most business-savvy and business-talented person in this capital is Princess Xu. When it comes to Princess Xu, the merchants in Beijing will use "out of reach" to describe her.

When she was a teenager, she came to Beijing alone, and in less than a few years, she created her own business empire, and the business she did was still imitated by others. If she wants, it is more than enough to spread her business all over the country and become the richest man in Daming. But she knew that it was enough to do it, and only developed her career in Beijing.

Speaking of Princess Xu, we can't fail to mention King Xu. At the dowry of that year, almost all of his net worth was moved to the Yu family. Now the property under his hand is handed over to the princess to take care of, and he is afraid that she will be tired, so he also recruited many professional talents from other places for her to assist her.

As for the "Heaven and Earth" entertainment club, Long Yikui didn't know that it was too difficult, in Beijing, it was a place where the powerful gathered, and it was said that if you stretched your waist, you could meet a few children of the nobles, and the people who could go in and out of it were either rich or noble. What makes him even more afraid to underestimate is that the master of heaven and earth is King Xu, and it is said that Princess Xu gave him advice before she married him.

The son actually made a big splash on other people's territory, belittled the planners of "heaven and earth" to worthlessness, and it was good that they didn't beat him out on the spot, and they drained him of the silver, but only a little punishment.

How could such a shrewd man give birth to such a stupid son! I don't want to think about it, even if they are businessmen, no matter how rich they are, they can hardly compete with the powerful. King Xu does not talk about the identity of his imperial relatives, just say that he is in charge of the most elite army of the Ming Dynasty and has become the emperor's favored minister, how can the majesty of that status be violated by their ordinary people?

If his son's remarks today reach the ears of King Xu, let alone the development of the Long family in the capital, I am afraid that it will be difficult to mix in Jiangnan anymore...... The more Long Yikui thought about it, the more frightened he became, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. Came to the first-class master who he had spent a lot of money on overnight.

Although the first-class master was impatient with him harassing him in the middle of the night, he still reluctantly received him in the face of those valuable gifts. When he heard that it was King Xu who was offended by the Long family, the face of the first-class master changed suddenly, and he asked the housekeeper to throw back all the gifts given by Long Yikui to him, and unceremoniously drove the person out.

If King Xu knew that he had accepted bribes from the Long family, the black gauze hat on his head might not be able to keep it. And warned Long Yikui: "Remember, you have never recognized this official, and you have never been on the door of this official." You Long family will die by yourself, don't drag this official into the water together! ”

At the moment of driving people out of the door, the housekeeper kindly reminded Long Yikui: "Don't do anything, don't say anything, no matter who you ask for, no one will take the risk of being angry by King Xu to speak for you." If you're smart, go to King Xu's Mansion obediently and ask for guilt......"

Only then did Long Yikui realize the seriousness of the matter, and the next day he took his son, together with a car to the "heaven and earth". Not only did he offer to pay double the amount of silver, but he also asked his son to kneel at the gate of heaven and earth to atone for his sins.

The steward of the club just accepted the five thousand six hundred taels of silver that should have been collected, returned the things mortgaged by Long Tianba to him, and said: "Regarding Ling Lang's insult to our master, we as slaves have no right to put our beaks, please go back to the master of the Long family!" ”

Finally, the steward "kindly" reminded: "Our son is in the clubhouse, if you can sincerely impress him, maybe ......"

The father and son asked to see the prince of Xuwang after the "guidance" of the steward. Zhu Yunxuan didn't put on a show, and met them cordially.

The father and son trembled and recounted what happened, knowing that Long Tianba, who was afraid, knelt in front of the prince and cried bitterly, facing his still swollen face, slapping himself hard, scolding himself for not being a thing, not knowing that the club was the property of King Xu's mansion, offended the prince and the princess, damn it, really damn it! No matter how the son punishes him, he has no complaints, please give him a chance to atone for his sins!

Zhu Yunxuan waited for him to slap twenty or thirty times, and when his eyes were full of stars, he slowly spoke: "Your apology, this son has already received it." You have been duly punished for your nonsense. This son of the world advises you, disaster comes from the mouth, you can do it yourself! ”

After speaking, he served tea and sent it off.

Long Yikui's father and son did not walk out of the "heaven and earth", their hearts were still clouded, what did the son of the world mean, and did he forgive them? When they left, they brought back the priceless gifts.

Zhu Yunxuan snorted coldly, and said to himself: "Insulted the mother concubine, a little bitter trick, and thought of an apology?" It's not that easy! ”

If Long Yikui was smart, he should take his son back to Jiangnan immediately and never set foot in the capital again. However, these days, he is blinded by the profits of the capital. After watching for a few days, he found that everything was calm, and he thought that this matter was over, and began to move in Beijing again.

And after the injury on Long Tianba's face healed, he became restless again. The few gentlemen who were originally close to him are now avoided. However, he soon made a few more friends with wine and meat, and he also had a lot of status in Beijing. Long Tianba was quite complacent in his heart!

Among these friends, there is a general's son surnamed Dong, who likes to collect jade and jade the most. In order to please him, Long Tianba gave him a glass green pendant, and he was "treated differently" by him.

On this day, Long Tianba brought this Young Master Dong to Zhiyu Zhai, and let him pick whatever he liked very arrogantly. Young Master Dong looked at those valuable jadeite accessories, sighed and said, "Although the carved jadeite is exquisite, I always feel that something is missing. I heard that there is a shop that sells jadeite rough under the name of King Xu, if the rough stone selected by himself can produce dazzling jadeite, then there should be a sense of achievement! It's a pity that my dad is strict and doesn't allow him to participate in all gambling-like activities......"

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this Young Master Dong is Dong Ming, the bodyguard next to King Xu. By the way, he is the son of King Xu's original bodyguard, Dong Dali. Dong Dali is a close confidant of King Xu, and now he is the commander of the firearms battalion. said that Dong Ming is the son of a general, there is nothing wrong with it!

The people in the upper circle of the middle and middle of Beijing did not know that the Long family had offended the Xuwang Mansion. Seeing Dong Ming appear beside Long Tianba, he knew that the prince of King Xu was ready to take the Long family, and they all paid attention to the Long family's every move with the mentality of watching a good show.

And when Long Tianba heard that it was the property of King Xu's Mansion again, he was a little timid. But after thinking about it, I was sending them silver, not to cause trouble, this time I must be cautious in my words and deeds, maybe I will consume more silver, and I can make the people of Xuwangfu treat them differently! This can be regarded as a gift to King Xu's Mansion in disguise, right?

As soon as he went back to tell his father, Long Yikui thought carefully for a long time before admonishing: "It's okay for you to go and have a look, maybe this is an opportunity to test the attitude of the Xu Palace's attitude towards us!" However, this time you must take care of your own mouth for me, and your arrogant attitude will be taken away from me! If you mess up again this time, I will sever you from father and son, so as not to cause trouble for the family. ”

Long Tianba hurriedly responded: "Dad, don't worry! My son will definitely do things properly for you this time! ”

The next day, Long Tianba invited Young Master Dong to the "Gambling Stone Workshop". Young Master Dong began to excuse himself again and again, saying that he was afraid that his father would throw him into the barracks for drills, so he didn't dare to go over. Long Tianba said: "Young Master Dong, it's not you who participate in gambling stones, the little brother just invites you to accompany the little brother to see and open his eyes." Even if Ling Zun knows, he won't blame you! ”

Young Master Dong hesitated for a long time, and agreed "reluctantly".

The gambling stone workshop is a large courtyard, and there are pieces of jade rough stones that are not amazing in the courtyard. Looking at these "stones", Long Tianba was a little slandered: This stone can also be sold at a sky-high price, and King Xu's Mansion is too tricky, right? But he can only rot these words in his stomach!

"Two masters, do you want to see if you are fully gambled or half-gambled?" As soon as the two entered the courtyard, a clever young man greeted them, and after saluting, he asked respectfully.

Young Master Dong asked, "What is full gambling and what is half gambling?" ”

The young man pointed to the rough stones in the courtyard and said with a smile: "The jade rough stones in these yards have never opened the skylight, and whether there is jade in them depends on luck, which is called full betting." In the houses on all sides, most of them have opened skylights, and you can see jadeite, but the amount of jadeite meat in it and the texture are unknown, so it is called half a gamble. If you have a lot of research on gambling stones, you can take a look at the rough stones outside. If it is the first time to visit, it is recommended to go into the house and see the half-gambled stones. ”

Young Master Dong looked at Long Tianba: "I don't know anything about gambling stones, what about Brother Long?" ”

Long Tianba coughed twice and said, "Although I have studied a little, I am not proficient in it. Or...... Let's go inside the house and have a look. ”

When I entered the room, there were pieces of rough stones of different sizes listed on the shelves. All the rough stones have been cut open with a skylight, revealing the sparkling jadeite inside.

"Wow! There really is jade in these stones!! Long Tianba exclaimed.

Young Master Dong and the young man glanced at each other, and they all despised this fourth young man of the Long family in their hearts, the Long family has such an unworthy descendant, it is really an ancestor who has no virtue. Are you doubting the authenticity of the rough stones? Or do you suspect that the property of the Xuwang Mansion will be fraudulent? Even if you have doubts in your heart, you shouldn't show them! It's stupid!
