Most of the leaves of the metasequoia trees in the yard have fallen, and when the wind blows, there are still small oval leaves on people's heads and faces.

Shen Xianru didn't care about these broken leaves at all, looking at the two dice boxes on the table, his breathing became short.

Eight thousand taels!

That's eight thousand taels of silver!

If he had this money, he wouldn't have to stay in the capital anymore and be a "Nagongsheng" that no one cared about, as long as he used this money to dredge up, he would be able to become a parent official, a hundred times stronger than his father and uncle!

"Hurry up!" He roared in his heart, as soon as the dice box was opened, his future and wealth were all in his hands!

His dice shaking concubine didn't move, because the young man who called himself "Zhao Die" was leaning over the table, his eyes staring directly at the dice box in her hand:

"If you lose this one, don't talk about this yard, even you will be sold to me."

The veiled woman on her face smiled timidly, but her hand holding the dice box was steady.

"You'd better be able to win." Zhao Die refused to let her go because of her pitiful appearance, "Whoever dares to use means in front of me is worse than death if it falls into my hands."

The woman still didn't talk, obviously she was instructed by Shen Xianru to do this kind of thing not once or twice, she turned her head slightly sideways to dodge, and her hands still didn't move.

Shen Xianru laughed on the side: "Zhao Gongzi looks like everyone is from a family, why embarrass a woman's family at the gambling table?"

Zhao Die sneered and slapped his palm on the table.

"Want to see my dice? Why don't you show me the dice in your box first?"

After speaking, he turned around and pulled out the axe in his entourage's hand, and actually slashed it directly at the woman's hand, the action was so fierce and fierce that the woman was so frightened that she hurriedly dodged, and her hand naturally moved.

The wooden dice box fell directly to the ground by her hand, and rolled out, revealing that the dice inside rolled out on the ground as "one, three, four".

The axe in his hand was swung back in the middle of the road, and Zhao Die, looking at the dice that fell to the ground, "tsk" in disappointment:

"I thought it was another three-six, but it's only eight."

Zhao Die's previous dozen games had been sitting still, no one expected him to move the axe directly on the dice box, Shen Xianru looked at the woman's face and knew that the situation was not good, and hurriedly said:

"Zhao Gongzi, how can you use an axe to scare people? The dice box is moving and the dice are messed up, so this game can't be counted!"

Zhao Die's smile at him, "What can't you move? Shaking the dice is the destiny of each other, besides, I didn't touch her dice, didn't she move it herself?"

Shen Xianru was angry and said loudly, "This game doesn't count!"

He wanted to pounce on the table and take back the eight thousand taels of IOU he had placed as a bet, but two people behind him had already held him to death.

The servants of the Zhao family, who had been silent before, also showed their axes in their hands and surrounded the gambling table.

Zhao Die, under Shen Xianru's angry gaze, took the note in his hand.

"Why not? Do you already know what the number of dice in this box was? Otherwise, what does it matter if you don't touch it?"

Looking at Shen Xianru, Zhao Die, holding the note in one hand and playing with the axe in the other, sneered: ....

"Everything comes and goes, I came to collect debts, you don't want to pay back, you even set up a bureau to take money from me? When you were born, did your father put a few dog galls in your belly?"

Directly raising his legs and putting his feet on the gambling table, Zhao Die said in a lazy tone:

"It makes people think that they have a chance to turn the page, and the more they throw, the bigger they get, as long as they let him lose completely in the last game, the front is just a foreshadowing. That's the kind of trick you who set up the gambling game, and it's really boring to learn...... How about almost winning eight thousand taels of silver?"

Looking at the IOU that he had drawn and stamped, Shen Xianru's eyes were cracked, and then he realized that Zhao Die had no intention of gambling with him from the beginning, just like he had no intention of paying back Shen Yan from the beginning.

"Liar! You! You're a liar

！」

"Liar?" Zhao Diehaha smiled, waved his hand and commanded the strong man standing beside him, "Tong Wu, did he still owe you ten fingers before? Go and collect your debts."

The tone was extremely relaxed, as if asking Tong Wu to pluck a few green onions.

Shen Shouru, who had been silent on the side, took advantage of the inattention of others to break free from the shackles of the people around him and ran out of the yard, as soon as he opened the gate, he was chased and pressed from behind, and looked at the door but showed joy:

"Your Excellency! Help, adults! Our brother is the nephew of the late Shen University, and today someone colluded with bandits to come to my house and force my eldest brother to write down an IOU of 8,000 taels of silver.

"You are the nephew of the late co-organizer Shen Shao?" Outside the door, someone asked slowly.

Shen Shouru hurriedly responded: "Exactly! Precisely! Scholar Shen is my second uncle."

The shadow wall facing the gate blocked everyone's sight, and they could only see that Zhao Die's two subordinates who went to get people had retreated, and their faces showed timidity.

Then, there was another sound of footsteps walking into the courtyard, until a color of cyan trolling came into view, and Shen Xianru, who was about to be chopped off after being restrained, also showed a smile on his face, and glanced at Zhao Die, and he shouted loudly:

"Your Excellency! Help, adults! These people are ......."

A cadre of people dressed in cyan trolling was lined up on both sides, and a man wearing a white flying fish suit in a black big hat turned into the courtyard, and when he heard Shen Xianru's voice, he followed the sound and looked over:

"Who are you? Why is this the case?"

"Student Shen Xianru is also the nephew of Shen University, and he is also the prisoner of Guozijian! This person, this person called himself Zhao Die, first wanted to use an axe to smash the door of my house, and then forced me to sign an IOU of 8,000 taels, and asked the adults to make decisions for the students!"

The man who came did not speak.

The man in the white flying fish suit was also very young, tall, handsome, standing in the courtyard like a magnolia tree from the spring, he first looked at the dice box on the table, then looked at the lively gentlemen on the left and right, and then looked at the houses and trees in the courtyard, and finally, he looked at Zhao Die, who was still sitting lazily on the chair.

Zhao Die, who was looked at by him, said impatiently: "Why are you here?"

The man standing smiled faintly, "I heard that you are coming, I am a little worried." ….

"Not sure? Not worried about what? Even the Shen family's pair of wastes can still hurt me?"

Zhao Die's tone was a little less fierce than Fang Cai, but he was ten times more arrogant, tilting his head and looking at the brocade-clothed man with disdain across the gambling table.

The man didn't move at all, and still smiled: "I don't worry about this courtyard, if you start too hard and let the blood of these two people of the Shen family stain this courtyard, it will not be good."

Before Zhao Die's time to speak, Shen Xianru's throat suddenly let out a strange scream: "You two are actually accomplices!"

"Who's with him!" Zhao Die's cup of tea on the table suddenly picked up the tea cup on the table and smashed it on Shen Xianru's body, causing him to let out a howl of pain.

The young man in brocade shook his head disapprovingly, and he didn't know if he didn't agree with what Zhao Die's smashing people did, or if he didn't agree with what Shen Xianru said:

"Shen Xianru, you and your brother Shen Shouru have been gambling all year round, and they should be punished heavily according to the law, and I just accepted the certificate to get you."

"Paper?" Shen Xianru was shocked and panicked, "Who, who sued me? I'm a prisoner of the country! How could you do such a gambling thing?"

But he saw that the man unhurriedly took out an envelope from his bosom: "Shen, the daughter of Shen Shao, a co-organizer of the university, sued your two brothers for gambling and making trouble in her family's old mansion all year round, and this is the paper. Today, the court has ordered that all parts of the capital strictly investigate the gathering of people to gamble, and you, as the eunuch of the country, have done such things contrary to the law all year round, and you must not only be handed over to the priest to be severely punished, but also to be forfeited of your fame."

"Shen Shiqing, she dared to sue me?!" As soon as she heard the word "Shen", Shen Xianru's eyes widened, revealing disbelief, "She, an orphan daughter with a dead father and a dead mother, dares to sue me? If it weren't for my kindness, she! She! You even take the form of a woman? I'm telling you

Guys! Shen Shiqing, she has long been crazy, she is a crazy woman! If I hadn't covered it up for her, she would have been divorced by the Xie family a long time ago! She's a madman! She's also a lunatic! How can you listen to a madman?"

Listening to Shen Xianru's angry scolding as if he was crazy, Zhao Die, no, Zhao Surui looked at Shen Shiqing, who had been standing in the middle with a normal expression.

Shen Shiqing was originally contemplative, as if he noticed his gaze, and when he raised his eyes, his eyes were facing each other, and Zhao Surui seemed to hear Shen Shiqing speaking in his heart.

"Your Majesty, you can see it, you can hear it, this is the shackle that you feel can easily break free."

The cold voice was as good as ever.

Zhao Surui shook his head for a moment, only to realize that the moment just now was just his hallucination.

The sun was sinking in the west, and the sky was getting colder.

Zhao Surui shuddered, and Pei Feng, who was also dressed as a man next to him, hurriedly picked up the silver rat Dayu he put aside and put it on for him, and he was not idle when he was wearing clothes:

"Maniac? I think you're a mad dog, and you're going to die and bite indiscriminately, and you're going to get rid of a mad dog who lost your home."

At this time, Shen Shouru on the side suddenly knelt down and said loudly, "My lord, you and this Zhao Gongzi are old acquaintances, do you know that this Zhao Gongzi is also a person who participates in gambling? The treasure money hidden on his body was nearly 10,000 taels of silver, all of which were gambling money, and the loan voucher of 8,000 taels of silver signed by my brother was forcibly taken by him in the name of gambling! The great man is extraordinary, he must be a noble and honest person, and he will never shield this person for personal waste!" ….

Before Shen Shiqing could speak, Zhao Surui smiled first.

"Me? Gambling? Hahaha! I have a treasure on my body and say that I gamble, do you have any proof?"

"The IOU!"

"IOU? This is obviously the rent owed by the two of you brothers who have rented Shen Niangzi's mansion for several years, and I am here to collect debts for her, when did it become my gambling money? Rather, you ...... When I came, I saw all of you in the yard playing dominoes and gambling on dice, a bunch of people in satin robes gambling for money, and now they are locked in the backyard house by me, and they are all gamblers who have been recruited by you."

As he spoke, Zhao Surui shook the IOU in his hand,

"If you don't believe me, I can send the letter from Shen Niangzi entrusting me to collect debts for her to Jingzhao Mansion. As for gambling......"

Zhao Surui looked at Shen Shiqing and said with a smile on his face:

"A law-abiding and timid person like me can't do it."

Shen Shiqing turned her head to the side, and since Shen Xianru said that she was crazy, there was no real expression on her face, and there was a hint of laughter at this time.

Seeing that smile, Zhao Surui was shocked to realize that he had coaxed Shen Sanfu without paying attention, and snorted coldly.

Shen Shiqing didn't say much to Shen Xianru and Shen Shouru, there were all the human and material evidence, and there was nothing to say about the rest.

As soon as she raised her hand, the fans of the West Factory immediately tied up and escorted everyone up and down the mansion out.

Accustomed to being quiet in Zhuangzi, Zhao Surui was quite unaccustomed to the exclamations and pleadings everywhere, waved his hand and said:

"I've searched the valuable things in this house, you hurry up and take care of the matter, you have to treat me to a good meal today."

He helped Shen Sangu get his house back! And the rent of eight thousand taels of silver!

Although the money must have fallen into his hands...... The Shen Sanqu is his, and Shen Sanqu still has to thank him!

The two passed by, and Shen Shiqing whispered, "Thank you."

The wind blows the cedar trees, and the frost covers the dead vines.

Shen Shiqing stood in the courtyard and looked at the place where he grew up.

Zhao Surui walked to the shadow wall, turned his head to look at her, and only saw a back.

Obviously using his body, Zhao Surui felt as if he had seen a dead leaf.

In spring, in summer, the leaves are swept off the branches.

Since then, the wind and sun have been buried, and it has been scattered far away, and it has been weak by the wind, drowned by water, and by the will of God, which makes it often sad.

Finally, the verdant leaves of the past

It's withered, it's dry, and it's twisted into a mass that won't care about wind, rain, frost and snow.

It's finally coming home.

It became a dead leaf that could finally return to its roots.

And this yard, her old home, was just a dead tree.

Retracting his gaze, Zhao Surui raised his feet and walked out of the Shen Mansion.

Standing at home after several years, Shen Shiqing did not have many waves in her heart, her home was long gone.

Without my father, this place is just an empty shell.

But standing here, she still feels empty.

With a silent sigh, she casually picked up a dice box on the table,

Underneath the dice box are three dice.

On the three sides facing upwards, there are three "sixes".

She raised her eyebrows, this is ...... Zhao Surui shook it out?.

Six
