Song Zhizhi rushed to Liu's house in a carriage, and before he entered the door, he heard a shout from the courtyard, "You dare to take me?" What are you? You are not a government official! It's not Dali Temple either! Why do you take me? Let me go! Otherwise, my daughter and son-in-law will come later, and I want you to look good! ”

Song Zhizhi could tell that the person who shouted was Liu Ru.

Her face sank, and she stepped into the threshold and walked straight into the courtyard. When she stood still in front of Liu Ru, she looked at him and asked, "Did you steal the eight hundred taels?" ”

"It's not!" Liu Ru said to Song Zhizhi, "What evidence do you have to prove that it's me?" I tell you, even if I do things for you, you can't do this to me! You let your people let me go! Let me go! ”

Song Zhizhi gave Qiong Jiang a look, and Qiong Jiang immediately let go of Liu Ru.

Liu Ru, who was freed, moved his body slightly, and took advantage of Song Zhizhi's unpreparedness and ran towards the gate like crazy.

It's a pity that Yulu was guarding there at the gate, and Yulu threw out her whip, tied Liu Rujie firmly, and pushed her to the ground.

"Let go of me! Let me go! ”

Song Zhizhi came to Liu Ru at this time, looked at him and said, "Since you didn't steal the eight hundred taels, then what are you running?" Doesn't that prove that you are weak in heart? ”

"You'd better explain honestly, otherwise I'll send you to the yamen, against the laws of the Dagu Dynasty, eight hundred taels, enough for you for a lifetime!"

"Let go of my dad!"

A young woman who looked a little similar to Liu Ru ran over, but this young woman was coiled in her hair, which meant that she was married.

Song Zhizhi guessed that maybe this was Liu Ru's daughter who had just started a family.

"The eight hundred taels of silver have all been taken to the hole in the casino for my man, my father has no silver, and I don't have any silver, you take the two of us to the yamen!" The woman stood in front of Liu Ru and protected Liu Ru to the death, "Take me away!" Take me to the Yamen! I was forced, and my father was forced! If you want to blame me, blame me for marrying the wrong person, I'm blind! ”

Eight hundred taels of holes......

After the woman finished speaking, she couldn't stop crying. As soon as she cried, Liu Ru also cried, and the father and daughter hugged their heads and cried.

Song Zhizhi said to Yulu, "Let go of Mr. Liu first." ”

"Yes!"

Yulu withdrew the whip that had been tied to Liu Ru's body.

Song Zhizhi sat down on the chair at this time, looked at Liu Ru and his daughter, and said, "In this way, you stole eight hundred taels of silver from the account just to give your daughter and let your daughter go to pay her man's hole." ”

"My daughter is married to a brute! She's married to a brute! Liu Ru was full of grief and indignation, "Before getting married, that beast looked like a human being, and deceived me and my daughter!" I really thought that my daughter would marry him and live a good life. Who knew that on the second day of the wedding, the debtor came to the door, opened his mouth and asked my daughter for eight hundred taels, and if she didn't give it, they would kill the brute and send my daughter to a brothel. ”

"My daughter really has no choice but to come to me for help. But what money do I have? All my money was given to my daughter as a dowry, but that brute! That brute gambled with my daughter's dowry and all the previous things in the house, and lost everything! He's lost a lot! ”

Liu Ru cried bitterly, "It's me who is blind!" It's me who is blind! It's all my fault, it's me who pushed my daughter into the fire pit, me! I! I regret it! ”

Liu Ru said that he was distressed, and kept beating himself, his daughter was distressed when she saw it, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop it, grabbing her father's hands and crying to stop him, "Don't fight anymore!" ”

Song Zhizhi said, "I already know the ins and outs of the matter, but eight hundred taels is really not a small amount, I can't just forget it." ”

"It's just that if I rely on you to get this money back, it's almost impossible. So tell me where the beast is, and since the money was spent on him, I will go to him and ask him for it. ”

Liu Ru's daughter said, "He...... He doesn't have any money! He ......"

"Are you still thinking about him? How? Are you afraid I'll hit him? Song Zhizhi said, "A person like him, even if he is killed, it is not worth feeling distressed about." ”

"Sister, you have to keep your eyes open when looking for a man, fortunately, the owner your father met was me, and if you were someone else, you two would have been sent to the Yamen prison a long time ago."

Liu Ru's daughter slowly lowered her head, tears kept dripping on the ground, "Shopkeeper Song, I'm ...... I can't stand you. ”

"You can't stand me, you father and daughter can't stand me." Song Zhizhi looked at Liu Ru and said, "Mr. Liu, it is precisely because I trust you that I entrusted the things in the account room to you, and you also know how important the account is." It's a pity that you have betrayed my trust. ”

"I won't ask you two for this money, but you have to tell me where the beast is. Secondly, Mr. Liu, if you go back to the restaurant to find me to settle the last month's monthly silver, you and I will be cleared. Song Zhizhi looked at Liu Ru's daughter, "Where will that beast be now?" ”

Liu Ru's daughter said timidly, "Aomen Gambling House." ”

Hearing this, Song Zhizhi turned around and left.

"Shopkeeper Song!" Liu Ru stopped Song Zhizhi, threw away his daughter and hurried to Song Zhizhi, "Shopkeeper Song, I'm really sorry." Maybe my request is a bit excessive, but you ...... Can you promise me one thing. ”

"You say."

Liu Ru said, "My reputation on this street has always been very good, and that's how it has been in my life, other places are not very promising, but I have a good reputation, please Song Shopkeeper, don't publicize this matter, and leave me a face." ”

"Why did you know today?" Song Zhizhi said, "I won't tell others about this, and I won't let the people around me spread it around." It's just that if you do it again, don't blame me! ”

She walked away.

When she got into the carriage, the coachman asked, "Where are we going, shopkeeper?" ”

"Aomen Casino!"

"Buy and go! Buy and go! ”

"Great! Little! ”

"Open!"

“......”

Song Zhizhi wandered in the casino. Judging from the internal environment of the casino, this should be the largest casino in the capital. She didn't find the man of Liu Ru's daughter on the first floor, so she went up to the second floor, the second floor was more lively than the first floor, and basically every gambler had a bewitching woman around him.

"Look at the portrait and look carefully!" Song Zhizhi instructed Qiongjiang Yulu.

This portrait was given to her by Liu Ru's daughter before Song Zhizhi got into the carriage, so that she could find Diao Ba.

Diao Ba's original name was Diao Mingshi, how did Song Zhizhi know that Diao Mingshi's nickname was Diao Ba? It was also Liu Ru's daughter who told her. So where did Liu Ru's daughter know?

On that day, the people in the gambling house came to ask for debts, and they did not shout the word "Diao Mingshi", but shouted, "Diaoba, get out of here!" ”

"Shopkeeper!" Qiong Jiang stretched out his hand and pointed to the southeast corner of the second floor, and said to Song Zhizhi, "Don't you think that portrait looks like it?" ”

Song Zhizhi looked at it, didn't say a word, walked straight away, and said to the sturdy man sitting in the corner, hugging left and right, "Diaoba!" ”
