Text Chapter 219 Bureau
Qin Mingxuan looked at the dice on the table with scarlet eyes, it was big again, it was more than twenty big in a row, and he didn't believe in evil anymore!
Pushing a few taels of broken silver in front of him forward and placing it on the "small", Qin Mingxuan stared at the dice cup for a moment, eager to see through the numbers in it.
With a sound of "buy and leave", Qin Mingxuan swallowed heavily and licked his dry lips.
"Great!"
After a simple word, there were sighing complaints around him, crying dad and scolding his mother, which was very unbearable.
Qin Mingxuan, who has always prided himself as a literati, didn't even frown, spread his right hand and stretched out to the person beside him.
"Young master, young master, we don't have any money anymore." The little guy said bitterly.
"None? How could it be gone? Qin Mingxuan asked in disbelief, "Didn't Ben Shao'er win fifty taels yesterday?" ”
The little guy said tremblingly: "Young master, what you won yesterday, you have exported it today." ”
"What about the principal of Ben Shao?" Qin Mingxuan asked sharply.
The little guy shrank his head and didn't dare to answer, he lost all the money he won, where did he get the principal?
Qin Mingxuan squinted his eyes and stared at the little guy for a while, and there was a urging sound in his ears, he glanced back at the dice cup, thinking that this time it must be small.
Sure enough, as soon as the dice cup opened, it was one, two, three o'clock small.
Qin Mingxuan spat angrily, if he had the silver, he would have won it all back!
The anger in his heart grew wildly, and he glared at the little guy viciously, "Go back and get the silver!" ”
"But, but young master, Madame said, no, I won't give any more silver." The little guy stammered and closed his eyes as if he were dead.
"Who said that? That's what Madame said! Qin Mingxuan grabbed the little girl's collar, dragged him to him, and asked viciously.
Seeing that the little guy nodded timidly, Qin Mingxuan shook his hand fiercely, and the little guy's center of gravity was unstable and fell directly to the ground.
Qin Mingxuan picked up the cup on the table and took a sip as if angry.
"Xuan Shao." Qin Mingxuan frowned, this voice was familiar to him, it was Fang Yin, the steward of the gambling house.
Fang Yin looked at Qin Mingxuan with a smile, he was born white and fat, although he was working in the gambling house, he didn't have that ruthlessness on his body, on the contrary, he smiled at everyone he saw, like a Maitreya Buddha. But those who are familiar with Fang Yin know that these are all illusions, Fang Yin is not as harmless as he looks on the outside, the brighter he smiles, the more ruthless the calculation in his heart, outsiders secretly call him "kill Buddha", the specific meaning is not clear, anyway, the general meaning is that Fang Yin is ruthless, he is the kind of ruthless character who kills Buddha when he encounters Buddha, and kills demons when he encounters demons.
Qin Mingxuan had also heard of Fang Yin's name, so when he saw Fang Yin walking towards him with someone, he "chuckled" in his heart, but he thought that he had not done anything out of line, and he had taught his own little lesson, and it did not affect the business of the gambling house, so he stiffened his waist.
"Xuan Shao, borrow a place to talk?" Fang Yin made a gesture of please.
Qin Mingxuan hesitated slightly, followed Fang Yin to the back, the little servant was waiting outside, and he entered the house alone.
"Xuan Shao, please drink tea." Fang Yin said to Qin Mingxuan with a pleasant face.
After all, he had seen the world with Qin Dongshan, and he had also been lifted and stayed in the Hanlin Academy, Qin Mingxuan was very calm, tasted two sips of tea, and then asked as if unintentionally: "I don't know if the steward Fang called Ben Shao, what advice do you have?" ”
"I don't dare to teach, I just want to talk to Xuan Shao." Fang Yinxiao's eyes narrowed into a slit, and the two thin lips were pulled into a line, very happy.
Qin Mingxuan summed it up in his heart, and asked casually, "I don't know what Steward Fang wants to talk about?" ”
Fang Yin was not ambiguous at all, and said directly: "Xuan Shao has also been in the gambling house for more than half a month, and he has lost a lot of silver, but Xuan Shao is a learned person, and he knows the truth of being willing to gamble and lose, and he has never been like those people outside. ”
Qin Mingxuan smiled silently, he had been in the officialdom for a long time, and he could still hear the meaning of these words.
Fang Yin was also thick-skinned, and without waiting for Qin Mingxuan to answer, he continued: "Has Xuan Shao been very tight recently, or will Fang Mou lend Xuan Shao a sum of money in his personal name?" ”
The gambling house can be borrowed, but the usury of nine out of thirteen, Qin Mingxuan will not touch this, no matter how decadent he is, no matter how demoralized he is, he will not be contaminated with habits that he can't have, it will be a stain on his life, and he will return to the court.
However, if Fang Yin lent him money in his private name, it would be a different matter. But Qin Mingxuan knew that there was no lunch for nothing, so he was not in a hurry to answer, and only looked at Fang Yin playfully out of the corner of his eye.
Fang Yinle laughed out loud, "Xuan Shao doesn't have to be so defensive about Fang, Fang just wants to make friends with Xuan Shao, Xuan Shao is the son of Qin Xiang, although Qin Xiang was dismissed, but everyone knows in their hearts, Qin Xiang is one of the few powerful officials in Shengjing, Xuan Shao is also a young man, and it is only a matter of time before Qin Mansion returns to its former glory." Fang Mou has always wanted to make friends with Qin Xiang and Xuan Shao, but he has no chance, so he is abrupt today. ”
Qin Mingxuan said with a smile: "The current Qin Mansion is no longer the Prime Minister's Mansion, if Steward Fang wants to benefit from the Qin Mansion, I'm afraid he will be disappointed, Steward Fang should know better than anyone else, the current Qin Mansion itself is difficult to protect, and it can't help Steward Fang in any way." ”
"Xuan Shao is arrogant," Fang Yin said with a haha, "Fang Mou admits that the purpose of befriending Qin Xiang and Xuan Shao is not pure, but Xuan Shao also knows that although Fang Mou is ruthless, he is also the most righteous, if he can make friends with Qin Mansion, he can't guarantee anything else, but as long as Xuan Shao needs silver, Fang Mou can still help." ”
This is true, who doesn't know, in the place where Shengjing has the most silver, it is either a money village or a gambling house, and how many people are ruined and killed because of the word "gambling".
Seeing that Qin Mingxuan was silent, Fang Yin explained: "Xuan Shao is a person who does great things, and it is natural that he has doubts in his heart, Fang Mou naturally did not help Qin Xiang and Xuan Shao for no reason. Xuan Shao has been here for more than half a month, and he must know that Fang has a backstage here, and he can't hide it, Fang is doing things for the wolf master. ”
"Lord Wolf?" Qin Mingxuan's heart sank.
The name of the wolf lord, he had vaguely heard it, and knew that it was a black and white character, and it was said that he had a relationship with some officials in the DPRK, so no one dared to move the wolf lord's industries all over the dragon capital, and there was a role for these officials, but more of it was the strength of the wolf lord himself.
Qin Mingxuan didn't think that the wolf lord who covered the sky in Longdu would need the Qin Mansion, not to mention that the wolf lord had long been friendly with important officials in the DPRK and China, and paved a broad road, which is the current Qin Mansion, with no power and no power, what can he help the wolf master?
He has always known that "interests" are two-sided, whether it is long-term or immediate, and they must be seen by the other party in order to become an alliance.
Fang Mou seemed to have known that Qin Mingxuan would have this reaction, and said step by step: "It's normal for Xuan to have few suspicions, don't talk about you, even after Fang Mou heard the wolf master's orders, he was also a little surprised, there are many powerful people in Shengjing, many of them have a deep relationship with the wolf master, the wolf master just found the Qin Mansion who didn't have any friendship, Fang Mou also couldn't figure it out, until the wolf master explained the reason in detail, Fang suddenly realized." Qinfu is down, but Qinfu still has a princess, not to mention, the silver that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince needs recently. ”
"What do you know?" Qin Mingxuan asked vigilantly.
Fang Yin smiled slightly, "The crown prince is going to do great things, Qin Xiang and Xuan Shao have helped His Royal Highness do a lot of things, His Royal Highness relies on Qin Xiang and Xuan Shao the most, whether it is Qin Mansion or Xiang Mansion, His Royal Highness's respect for the two has not changed at all, not to mention, the princess is also extremely important by His Royal Highness's side, so Lord Wolf wants to make friends with Qin Xiang and Xuan Shao." After all, following the crown prince is the greatest guarantee, and in the future, His Royal Highness will succeed to the throne, and the wolf master will also be successfully whitewashed. ”
Qin Mingxuan looked at Fang Yin suspiciously.
"Xuan Shao can think about it first, whether it is successful or not, it will not affect the heart of Fang Mou and Xuan Shao's friendship, if Xuan Shao is inconvenient at hand, even if he speaks, other Fang Mou dare not guarantee that Fang Mou is still capable of the silver."
Qin Mingxuan frowned.
He vaguely felt that the wolf master and the Qin Mansion had a different purpose, but what was there to worry about the current Qin Mansion?
"I believe that Xuan Shao also knows that the business that the wolf master does, the underworld is not a long-term solution after all, if it can be whitewashed, even if it is just a simple businessman, there is no need to be afraid, right? Besides, the wolf master also has his own selfishness, the wolf master has silver, if the children and grandchildren are angry, maybe they can earn him an official and a half-job back. Fang Yin sighed as if unintentionally.
That's right, this is it!
Qin Mingxuan is clear!
In terms of financial resources, the wolf master is richer than the Xue family, the richest man in Jinling, plus he eats both black and white, whether it is an outlaw or a big official in the court, he has to sell him face, but no matter how big the face is, it can't withstand the law, no matter how powerful the wolf is, he is also a flat-headed people, and if there is really an official who is not afraid of death wants to kill him, it is also a matter of minutes, so the wolf master will think about whitewashing, and then become the top person on the pyramid from an ordinary businessman.
Like the Xue family, the wolf master has silver, and if he smashes it hard, he will always smash out a splendid career, so he will find him, after all, the Qin Mansion used to be the Prime Minister's Mansion, even if he is down, he is also the most powerful helper around His Royal Highness the Prince, not to mention, they also have a crown princess Qin Mingyue, and even ......
Although Qin Mingxuan didn't want to admit it, he knew in his heart that Qin Wan was also the key.
Fang Yin suddenly stopped his thoughts, and only looked at Qin Mingxuan with a smile, until Qin Mingxuan's eyes lit up and he withdrew his sloppy expression.
"I'll think about it first." Qin Mingxuan said in a hoisted voice.
"That's, that's." Fang Yin responded while glancing at the person behind him, who was busy presenting a stack of silver tickets.
Qin Mingxuan glanced at it and took it into his arms.
Watching Qin Mingxuan leave the room, the smile on Fang Yin's face suddenly closed, "Give a reply to that side, saying that the fish has already taken the bait." ”
