Chapter 41: Shock
Ma Yu said: "I'm relieved when you say that, I also know what you are, but I'm afraid that you will be in a hurry in order to get the illustration of the 'Nine Yuan Customs Clearance', so I reminded you."
"Yesterday's Songhu City was so by you, all the people involved were extremely shocked, and now many people outside are speculating about who is so bold and dares to go directly to find Chen Gongzhao's bad luck, and Lord Su, the city guard, is also very angry, and has issued martial law, hoping to catch the four bandits as soon as possible. ”
Yu Wei said disdainfully: "Don't say that they don't know that Luo Linhai did it, even if they know Lu Dao, can they really arrest the dignified Luo Wangye? ”
Ma Yu smiled: "This is really right, it seems that you kid is not stupid yet." However, according to Master Su, due to Ziling's absence, he was considering asking Duanmu Hong of the Duanmu family to come out in person to deal with the attack on Chen Gongzhao. As for Ziling's big victory in the 'Proud Building' yesterday, not too many people have mentioned it. ”
Shi Ziling said: "That's not right, I'm also a little worried about whether the edge was too revealing yesterday, if someone traces the identity of the old businessman yesterday, although it may not be able to find out that it is me, but it is also a trouble." ”
Yu Wei smiled: "Who let you win so much money yesterday, 400,000 gold coins! Oh my God! I want to have so much money, how can I care about the illustration of 'Nine Yuan Customs Clearance', I have already found a place to enjoy it." ”
Ma Yu said: "With your interest, it is estimated that you don't want to make a lot of money in this life, even if you are given so much money, in the current troubled times, if you don't have the strength of Ziling, you won't be able to enjoy it for long, and you will be in trouble." ”
Although Yu Wei was not convinced, he also knew that what Ma Yu said was very reasonable, and said: "Fortunately, I have always been self-aware, and I have never thought of making a fortune, so I am living a very happy life now." ”
Shi Ziling said: "Aside from winning money, this time I finally gave Chen Gongzhao a lesson, and I don't need to reveal my identity, I hope Chen Gongzhao can take this as a warning, and don't come to harass me and the Yu family in the future, otherwise I will really be unkind to him." ”
Ma Yu said with a smile: "As far as I know, Chen Gongzhao is indeed seriously injured this time, and it will probably take at least two or three months of cultivation to recover." Luo Linhai is really ruthless, not only beat him to a serious injury, but I heard that he also swept away a lot of the Chen family's treasures, probably because he wants to pay off the money he owes you as soon as possible, Ha Lu Ha ......"
At this time, in the mansion equipped by the city guard for the distinguished guests, Luo Linhai was discussing yesterday's matter with his three followers, Qingcheng Sanjie. Xie Tianping and Xiong Tianying, among the three masters, have always been a little puzzled by last night's actions, but they didn't dare to ask, so they had to look at Senior Brother You Tianhua for help.
You Tianhua said: "Lord Wang, I went out in the morning to hear the news, and now the city guard Lord Su has ordered martial law in the whole city, and the city guard army and the auxiliary defense army are making every effort to track down the robber who injured Chen Gongzhao last night...... That's it?"
Luo Linhai sighed and said, "I have no choice, I have to accept defeat if I want to gamble." Duanmu Hong, this old man, has a false reputation, and he is not expected to be my opponent, so don't worry. Besides, if he knew that last night's robber was me, he might not have taken care of this trip. ”
"What I really can't figure out is the size of the bet in the last game yesterday, I have obviously flipped a dice, how could I lose later?"
You Tianhua said: "Listen to the prince's meaning, our action last night was caused by yesterday's gambling game? Could it be that the jeweler Lu Wang asked the prince to rob Lord Chen Gongzhao?"
Luo Linhai said: "That Boss Lu didn't let me rob the money, but just let me teach Chen Gongzhao a hard lesson." I think it's bad luck to go to the door with a mask anyway, so I just pretend to be a robber, and it just so happens that I lost so much money yesterday, and I can get some back by pretending to be a robber. ”
"Don't say it, Chen Gongzhao's family has a lot of valuable things, but unfortunately a few of us can't take too much, but there should still be more than 100,000 gold coins, it seems that this guy must be a big corrupt official in ordinary times." ”
Qingcheng Sanjie looked at each other, extremely shocked in his heart, he couldn't imagine that the dignified Luo Wang Ye actually came to rob because he lost the gamble, which is really ridiculous.
You Tianhua said hatefully: "It's all that damn jeweler's ghost, and it's really hateful that you have to pretend to be a robber, Lord Wang! I think he cheated nine times out of ten in the 'Proud Building' yesterday, so why don't we find him out and kill him with one knife." ”
Luo Linhai shook his head and said: "I am willing to lose the bet, I still owe him two wishes, before paying off these two wishes, we must not touch him, otherwise the reputation of this prince will be ruined." ”
"I thought about yesterday's gambling game for a long time, and I still can't think of when the dice were passive, although this Boss Lu's dice technique is very exquisite, but there should be no ability to change this dice, is it that there are other masters present and we are not aware of it?"
"What a hell of a life, I'm really unlucky to go out of Beijing this time!"
Qingcheng Sanjie knew that Luo Linhai was referring to the experience of the Jade Buddha Temple in Narcissus City last time, and the nameless squire he met that time was also very evil, and he could directly beat Luo Linhai to vomit blood with a strange fist technique, so that they could only watch the heavenly machine box containing the nine-yuan customs clearance diagram fall into the hands of this person.
Unexpectedly, when I came to Songhu City this time, I ran into an elderly businessman with superb gambling skills, and Luo Linhai, who has always been conceited and has good gambling skills, lost a mess, which was indeed unlucky.
You Tianhua asked, "Lord Wang, what should we do now?"
Luo Linhai said: "I came to Songhu City this time to give the seal to the rising star Shiziling, I heard that he is not in Songhu City now, so we will stay in the city for a while, as if nothing happened." ”
"If you don't come back after waiting for ten days, then I'll hand over this military seal of the Five Grades to Su Bairen. Now, if we go back to Beijing immediately, we are afraid that it will arouse suspicion, although we are not afraid, but it is not good to be exposed. ”
Qingcheng Sanjie had no choice but to think about it, the three of them have been mixing very well since they took refuge in Luo Linhai, and they didn't expect that this time they would go out of Beijing with Luo Linhai, and they would suffer repeated setbacks, and the three of them were also a little depressed......
In the next few days, the defenders and auxiliary defense forces in Songhu City have been tracking down the whereabouts of the robbers who attacked Chen Gongzhao's house at night, and the city guard Su Bairen once personally went to the Duanmu family's house to ask Duanmu Hong, the head of the Duanmu family, to help arrest the robbers, but Duanmu Hong refused.
And after Su Bairen listened to Duanmu Hong's reason for refusal, he didn't seem to be so enthusiastic about arresting the robbers when he came back, but symbolically let the assistant defense force search for a few days, and it ended hastily.
It turned out that the Duanmu family had a lot of eyes and ears in Songhu City, and they paid special attention to the movements of the big people in the city, and they had long heard that Luo Linhai and his three followers had left the mansion where they lived on the night of the accident, and they didn't return to the mansion with a lot of things until midnight.
Thinking of the characteristics of the four robbers that night, especially the fact that one of them was extremely powerful, he easily beat a master like Chen Gongzhao to a serious injury, and the Duanmu family had reason to suspect that this matter might be related to Luo Linhai.
Su Bairen was shocked after listening to the Duanmu family's explanation, although he couldn't believe that this was true, but thinking about it, there were really few people in the city who could easily beat Chen Gongzhao to serious injury, except for Duanmu Hong, there was only Luo Linhai.
Su Bairen has always been an honest magistrate, and he really didn't dare to offend an important person from the capital like Luo Linhai, and he didn't have the ability to offend, so he had to make a show and end it hastily.
In addition, the old businessman Jia Lu Wang, who was in the limelight in the "Proud Building", suddenly disappeared after the big victory that day, it is said that there were soldiers guarding the city who saw a person who looked like Lu Wang and hurried out of the city the next day, everyone speculated that this Boss Lu had won too much money, and he was afraid of being targeted, so he left Songhu City early and slipped away.
But the strange thing is that someone asked Su Songyi about the origin of this Lu Wang, but Su Songyi couldn't tell why, only said that he remembered that he had bought a piece of jewelry from this Boss Lu before, and then he drank with him once after gambling that day, and then there was no follow-up.
Since Su Songyi is the identity of the son of the city guard, although everyone is not very satisfied with his statement, they can't say much.
