Chapter 210: The Casino Returns
In the early morning of the next day, a carriage stopped in front of the Prime Minister's Palace.
"Husband, are you really okay? I'm so scared. ”
This is the first time in more than half a year of marriage that Xue Ya calls Hua Long her husband, even her tone and demeanor are deeply dependent, a pair of slender little hands tightly grasp Hua Long's cuffs, she is trembling, and she is constantly trembling, clear eyes like a deep pool keep looking at the person standing in front of her, as if seeking promises and answers.
Yesterday, Hua Long learned from Xue Yana that Lan Si had come to force debts, and her attitude was completely different from before, as if she had changed a different person.
"Xueya, this is the bill you owe to the casino, the amount is too big, I can't help you. ”
"How can I pay back so much money?"
"It's not without a way to pay it back. Lan Si said as she took out a metal box, "Your grandfather's vault has money, and he won't know if you go get some." ”
“......”
Xue Ya originally disagreed, but under the coercion and temptation of Lan Si, Xue Ya had no choice but to agree. However, if it is known that stealing grandpa's money to pay off gambling debts, what will be the consequences......
"No, how could your grandfather suspect you? besides, it's only more than 10 million, which should be a drop in the bucket for a family as large as your Nicholas. "Lan Si counted Xue Ya to death, but she showed a little, no! It should be Hua Yun who showed a little, that is, Xue Ya's husband Hua Long.
After Lan Si left, Hua Long used the method of side knocking to get out of Xue Ya's mouth about stealing money from Prime Minister Rongte's study at night, and gave her an "idea".
As for whether this idea is useful or not, to be honest, Xue Ya still has doubts in her heart, but now he can only listen to Hua Long's arrangement, otherwise he will have to steal money, relatively speaking, he prefers to believe that Hua Long's method can help her, so that will be the best of both worlds.
Standing next to the carriage, Hua Long, who sent his wife to the carriage, did not wear a straight ivory official uniform as usual, but chose very ordinary civilian clothes, even Tarex, who was standing beside him.
"Remember what I said?" Hua Long's tone was gentle, as if he was trying to soothe his wife's uneasy emotions.
Xue Ya nodded affirmatively twice, but her body was still ......
In addition, Xue Ya found that her husband was not a nobleman who had nothing to do, nor was he the kind of person who didn't care about her, in fact, her husband still cared about her very much, and after last night's incident, Xue Ya was more sure of this.
He must like me, but what attitude should I use to treat him? After a night of "ideological struggle", Xue Ya finally shouted out the word "husband".
"Okay, you go to the casino now, give them the stuff when you get there, and then you come back like nothing happened. Hua Long told his wife again, and gently touched her forehead, "Don't worry, I'll figure out the rest." ”
After comforting his wife, Hua Long watched the carriage leave, but the smile on his face changed.
"How's it going?"
"It's all done. Tarex put what Hua Long wanted into his hands.
"Today, maybe it's going to be a long time, hehe!"
......
Two hours later, the courtyard of the Marshal's Palace.
The bronzed skin glows shiny in the sun, and Ron's imposing military demeanor gives people a feeling of vitality. He lay in the rocking chair as usual, only today his eyes were open, and his gaze was locked in the vast sky.
He's waiting, waiting!
Will Prime Minister Youngter's granddaughter steal money? Will she hand over the money? Will Prime Minister Youngt perceive it? These uncertainties are as hopeful as they are about gambling.
At this moment, Hua Yun came.
"It's finished?"
Although the marshal's tone was calm, Hua Yun could still hear the taste of anxiety in it.
This doesn't look like you, Hua Yun secretly laughed in his heart, and then said unhurriedly: "Xue Ya has just arrived at the casino and brought eleven million Cold Moon Imperial Bank cashier's notes. ”
"What about the account number?"
"It has been checked, and it is indeed the money that His Majesty has allocated from the treasury. Hua Yun didn't suspect it, because he specially found a supervisor from the Cold Moon Imperial Bank and asked him to authenticate this promissory note.
"Good, good!"
You're dead, Ron's excitement is even greater than winning the five million fortunes.
"Father-in-law, do we get that promissory note back now?" Hua Yun was a little worried, and put a huge amount of money in the casino, in case ......
Ron also felt a little uneasy, but just as he was about to agree......
"No!" interjected in the dark shadows by the name of Chriss.
What a powerful strength! Hua Yun couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, although he had long known that there was this person nearby, but the specific location still couldn't be accurately judged.
"Chris, do you have any opinions?" asked Ron.
"Your Excellency the Marshal. The man came out of hiding.
So young!
This guy who was secretly called a young man by Hua Yun is about 1.75 meters tall, and his body is slightly thinner, if you look at it from the appearance alone, he doesn't have any "characteristics", but the soaring hairstyle and the thick silver necklace hanging under his neck are extremely impressive.
"My name is Chris. After he saluted the marshal, he then looked at Hua Yun with a provocative gaze, "This must be the commander of Hua Yun, your heroic performance on the battlefield is really admirable, if I were a soldier, I would definitely swear to serve you." ”
Do you want to compete for favor in front of the marshal? Hua Yun didn't want to meet him in general, but he smiled instinctively as a polite person.
"Marshal, have you forgotten how you lost last time to that old fellow of Prime Minister Rongte?"
At the mention of this, Ron suddenly looked displeased, "I haven't forgotten!"
"But this time the situation is the same as the last time, if Prime Minister Ronte deliberately let Xue Ya take the money, and the money goes to the Marshal's Mansion......" Chrissy simply made a deduction, but it was so simple that Ron was worried.
The old proverb "Once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of the well rope" is fully reflected in Marshal Ron's heart at this moment.
That's right, if this is the bait put by the old thing of Prime Minister Ronte, then I won't ...... Thinking of this, Ron had a deeper understanding of the young man in front of him with a unique shape.
"You're right, it's better to keep this money in the casino first. After speaking, he glanced at Hua Yun on the side.
What a stupid thing! Hua Yun said secretly in his heart, but he didn't speak, just nodded slightly in agreement, in his opinion, the danger of putting it in the casino is far greater than that of putting it in the Marshal's Mansion, and if Prime Minister Rongte really wants to track it down, it won't be the same wherever he puts it, is there any difference?
At this moment, Chriss was secretly proud in his heart, Hua Yun was right, he just wanted to compete for favor and get the reuse of Marshal Ron.
"To keep that ticket safe, Cress, you're in charge of it first!"
"Don't worry, Lord Marshal, it will be no problem to hand it over to me. When he left, he didn't forget to glare at Hua Yun coldly, and there was a hint of provocation in his eyes.
......
Casinos, underground vaults.
At the end of the labyrinthine walkway, a gate made of steel stood on top of a stone wall, and when you looked up, it was six meters high, with a small door open on it for two people to pass side by side. Outside the door, thugs with iron rods and blunt swords leaned against the corners, watching everyone who entered and exited the vault with lazy eyes.
In the vault, the space of six or seven hundred square meters is piled up with gold coins as high as a hill, under the reflection of the wall lamp, the yellow light pierces people's eyes very uncomfortable, against the wall, more than ten tables are lined up here, dozens of accountants are calculating the accounts day and night, and beside the accountant, some strong porters put the counted gold coins into a special cloth belt, and then put them on the other side.
The casino owner was looking at everything in front of him with a smile on his face.
"Your Excellency, the money will be counted tonight, and I'll be bothering you again. ”
The supervisor in the mouth of the casino owner is actually the department head of the Cold Moon Imperial Bank, mainly responsible for the storage of large gold coins in the capital, one of the reasons why the casino owner invited him to come is to verify the authenticity of the promissory note brought by Xue Ya, and secondly, he wants to take the bank's kickback from the link of depositing money.
"Yours is the best of luck. Oh yes, it's not a lot this time, right?" the so-called director looked up at the mountain of gold.
The accountant hurriedly said: "There are already 8 million gold coins counted now, and the whole is at least about 13 million. ”
All three laughed at the same time.
"Then I'll go back first, and I'll bring someone over when the count is counted." ”
"Then I won't bother you yet. The casino owner politely instructed his subordinates on the side, "Help me deliver the supervisor." ”
"Yes. ”
Moments later!
"Boss, boss. A thug ran in in a hurry.
At this moment, the self-absorbed casino owner who was lying in the pile of gold coins suddenly roared impatiently: "What are you shouting, what are you shouting? Are you dead dad or dead mom?"
The thug suddenly smiled awkwardly, with a mysterious expression, "Boss, didn't you say that you have been depressed recently, and the small one is for you...... Hey hey ......"
"Give it to me?" the casino owner didn't understand, he half sat up and asked, "What's wrong with you kid?
"Boss, I've got you a chick!"
"Girl?" said the casino owner's face with a lewd smile, but soon he became gloomy again, "Where did you get the girl? ”
Speaking of the last time, the casino owner still has lingering palpitations. He originally wanted to be a woman from a good family, but he didn't expect to be given "*" by a woman from a good family.
"No, no, this is super punctuality!" the thug suddenly patted his chest and swore a swear.
"I'll believe you again, if it's similar to the previous one, I'll throw you into the pigsty!" After the casino owner stood up suddenly, he first spat on his palm, then pressed it against his hair, and stepped back a few times, "What about her?"
"She's outside the door, I'll bring it to you. The thug hurriedly ran down, and soon a young girl blindfolded by a black cloth was pushed and walked in.
At this moment, the eyes of the casino owner lit up.
What a beautiful woman!
She has a fair face and skin like mutton fat, cherry red lips, a graceful figure that exudes a light fragrance, and long golden hair. All this is synonymous with perfection, and the casino owner froze, and he leaned in distraction against the girl, and pulled her long hair back and forth, sniffing it back and forth in front of his nose.
"The boss is really perverted. Someone among the many thugs muttered quietly.
"What's your name?" asked the casino owner gently for the first time.
The girl's lips are closed tightly and she doesn't say a word!
"It doesn't matter. The casino owner stood in front of her and looked at her as if admiring a work of art, "Marry me, and all the gold and silver behind you will be yours!"
“......”
"Speak!" the casino owner was not the kind of good-natured person, and when he saw that the girl still did not speak, he twisted her chin, "Do you think you have a choice?" During the confrontation, the cross necklace around the girl's neck fell out of her clothes.
This thing, this thing I seem to have seen somewhere, like...... The casino owner had seen the necklace, but he couldn't remember it.
That's when ......
"Boss, boss!"
"What's wrong?"
"Northern Governor Hualong is here!"
Hearing this name, the girl's body subconsciously trembled, as for the reason, it is very simple, because Hua Long knows her, but she can't be recognized by Hua Long, otherwise it will be a big deal.
Therefore, she reflexively leaned into the corner of the hall, a detail that no one present had noticed.
Because everyone's ideas are on the gangster who reported, after all, it is the Northern Governor Hualong!
"How many people did he bring?"
"There are only two of them!"
"Huh, only two people?"
"Yes, just two people. ”
Hearing this news, the casino owner was stunned for a moment, what does this Beidu Hualong mean? What do the two of them want to do? Is it just to play cards? The casino owner has thought a lot in a very short period of time, but he has never been able to figure it out.
"Boss, what should we do?"
"What's the panic, since there are only two of them coming, then they definitely didn't come to trouble our casino, otherwise, wouldn't it be easier to send the Imperial Guard directly?
"Do you want to inform ......?"
"Tell the! Let's see what happens. ”
......
