Chapter 214: The Scam of Four Thousand Taels
Guo Sheng's buttocks were half on the chair, his chest rose and fell violently, and he sobbed intermittently, explaining what happened.
Combining last night's pimple words with reasonable conjectures, Bai Ze eliminated the self-packaging in his words, and basically sorted out what happened to Guo Sheng in the past few days.
Since the incident of the fox demon cholera court, Guo Sheng was very scared, considering that he was a genius in a million, and he had a lot of good life to enjoy in the future, and he couldn't get in touch with the monster, which ruined the future of the feudal marquis, so he planned not to interact with the fox demon again.
The "good friends" who knew the roots around him had persuaded him that the karma with the spirit was hard to find, and later even considered the conjecture of the fox demon's angry revenge, which can be described as quite "interesting". But Guo Sheng laughed at it, thinking that he was the son of destiny, Wenqu Xing descended into the world and all evils would not invade, and the county town would immediately settle in the army, and the safety was tight, and the monsters had a few dares to come here.
But then he is the son of destiny, the money in his pocket will never lie, and after spending some days of drinking, Guo Sheng is shy in his pocket, and as usual, he went to the house of the wealthy Zhou Gongzi (pimple face) to borrow money. may be because of the number of door-to-door borrowing money, Zhou Gongzi's attitude changed sharply, not only did he not borrow money, but also viciously threatened to repay the money.
Guo Sheng was driven out in disgrace, looked up at the late sky, and a few vicious dogs at the gate of the Zhou Mansion, he hated it in his heart, after thinking about it, straightened his waist, pretended to be generous in the past, and turned a corner to go to the Qinglou to find his old friend.
Eating and drinking happily in the middle of the night, the depression in my heart was finally vented for most of the time, and Guo Sheng hugged the beauty and fell asleep after the Spring Festival.
Early in the morning, before dawn, Guo Sheng was suddenly woken up in a dream, and the good-looking old man was panicked, anxiously asking him to escape quickly while the sky was dark.
Guo Sheng was a little puzzled, and got up in a daze to ask.
The old man said with tears in his eyes that he got up early to go to the toilet, accidentally kicked over his clothes, and found that there was not a word in it! Recently, the old bustard checked his accounts, and he was relied on several large sums of money one after another, and he was angry with countless bad debts. In the past two days, those who have no money and come to sleep with girls have been crippled several times. Guo Sheng is not a person with a head and a face, if he is found to have no money in his pocket, it will be light to break his leg, in case the defendant goes to court, his reputation will be discredited, and he will lose his reputation as a showman, wouldn't this life be over!
Guo Sheng was in a cold sweat when he heard it, he didn't care about thanks, he put on his clothes and wanted to jump out of the window to escape, but when he opened the window, there was a sudden sound of conversation outside, and several big men were guarding downstairs, holding their arms and interrogating a panicked guest viciously.
Peeking at the physique of those big men, Guo Sheng's heart was half cold, fortunately, the old man did not give up, and he didn't complain at all after Bai was asleep, and he gave him an idea if he couldn't make a plan.
There is a casino in the backyard of the Qinglou, the two are the same boss, but the manager of the casino is righteous, and credit is allowed on weekdays, Guo Sheng relies on the name of Xiucai, it should not be difficult to borrow ten taels of silver in it, and when the time comes, he will gamble twice, and he will be happy to win the silver and repay the debt, and it will not be worse than the current situation if he can't win.
Guo Sheng patted his head, the secret way was a method, dressed neatly, swaggered and led the old man to the backyard, sure enough, no one stopped him, and the borrowing process was smooth.
Early in the morning, there is no one in the casino, only scattered gamblers wandering around, the first one, he is still a little careful, play very simple pressure size, the bet is not big, win is indeed neat.
The second time, he still didn't have much confidence, and the bet was still not big, but he didn't expect to win. At this time, those old gamblers have noticed here, after all, bringing beauties to this smoky place is either really capable, or they can be called fat sheep stunned.
After seeing the warning eyes of the dealer in the town, the old gamblers in Men'erqing understood one after another, and a few people who could be a man nodded and came to the steward, and after whispering a few words to get permission, they quietly came to Guo Sheng's table.
There is no sun and moon on the gambling table, with the encouragement of the beauties and the amazement and regret of the "predecessors", Guo Sheng is getting bigger and bigger the more he plays, and the more he plays, the more he spends. When he was pulled out by a few big men with red eyes, he found that the sky had unconsciously darkened again, and there were only a few IOUs signed at some unknown time, fierce faces, ropes and wooden sticks in front of him.
After begging hard, the people in the casino agreed to give him a day to raise money, but if he didn't see the silver at this time tomorrow night, he would be careful of his life!
Now, the two big men who collected the accounts in the casino are waiting outside the small temple, and if they can't see the silver tonight, they may directly drag him into the mountains and bury him directly.
Speaking of this, Guo Sheng's legs were weak, he couldn't sit on the chair, and knelt on the ground again, pulling Bai Ze's trouser legs, and begging with tears in his eyes.
Bai Ze stroked his chin slightly, thinking secretly in his heart.
Although he got the promise of the pimple face last night, he didn't expect him to use such a simple and crude move, although it was very effective in forcing Guo Sheng back, but it was not beneficial to the main story line, and undoubtedly pushed the problem to his side.
Preparing the tension between language and performance, Bai Ze spoke after a long time:
"Brother Changshan, I don't know how much money you owe?"
Guo Sheng was a little embarrassed, hesitated and gestured four fingers, and whispered: "A total of four thousand taels before and after!"
"What!"
Bai Ze slapped the table and stood up.
The shock on his face was really not pretended, and under the threat of life and death last night, the pimple face took out five thousand taels of cash in exchange for the remaining three glass balls that he bought from the store for five cents.
Bai Ze thought that he was ruthless enough, but the glass ball was a treasure in this world, and it was also a skill to buy and sell. I didn't expect the pimple face to be even worse, I didn't spend a penny, and my own Qinglou and casino, acting in a scene, would have to scrape away 4,000 taels of silver!
Looking at Guo Sheng's expectant eyes, Bai Ze clenched his fists slightly, and his face sank.
If the pimple face dares to play tricks, and he doesn't dare to expose the scam in front of Guo Sheng, and wants to take advantage of the momentum of acting, the 5,000 taels sent out by the front foot will be withdrawn from the back foot, then he has to send the person who collects the accounts to go to the underworld first, and then let the pimple face arrive with the hind foot, and burn some dark coins to send flowers another day!
The play still has to continue, Bai Ze suppressed the killing intent, looked at Guo Sheng, and said a little rustily:
"Brother Changshan, although you and I hit it off at first sight, four thousand taels is not a small amount!"
Hearing that there seemed to be a door, Guo Sheng hugged his thigh, leaked the most sincere gaze in his life and begged: "Brother Wanping, as long as you can help me pay back the money, let me do anything!"
