In the second half of the night, most of the shops in Ruoshui have been closed, only a few are still open to welcome customers, and those few are taverns or green houses in addition to gambling houses, and the people who go to those places are either rich or expensive, and there are even some mysterious people.

Su Yan followed Yan Zhen to squeeze in front of a gambling table, Yan Zhen was dressed in women's clothes this time, and she couldn't tell the difference between male and female. There were two young men of the same figure standing side by side beside them, one yellow and one red, it was Changsun Yue and Nangong Jinqi, and the two were looking intently at the dice cup in the dealer's hand.

The gamblers were all in high spirits, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and a considerable amount of money was piled up on the table in front of everyone.

"Good sister, you are betting on it!"

Su Yan was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and yelled at him impatiently, "Boy, don't interrupt, I'm not about to bet!" ”

Yan Zhen was also so anxious that he jumped to his feet, "Then you should go down!" What are you pulling me all the way into! I'm not money! ”

Su Yan swept the money in his hand, gritted his teeth, and threw the money out, this move frightened Jin Qi all the time, but he couldn't stop it.

"Buy big!"

The gamblers glanced at her and hurriedly bought small.

The dealer smiled meaningfully at her and shouted, "Buy it and leave!" ”

The gamblers couldn't help but bend down, staring at the dice cup with a pair of golden eyes, and almost didn't fall out!

Su Yan's heart suddenly cooled, "Buy small again!" They can't be colluded, right? I'm the last money, if you make me lose money, I'll tear your face and believe it or not! ”

He smiled slyly, "Good sister, this time let you win it back with interest!" As he spoke, he raised his hand slightly, and a gust of wind came out of his sleeve at great speed, brushed the table and hit the dice Gu directly, and then disappeared without a trace.

The dealer unveiled the dice Gu and exclaimed: "Four, five, six? She really won! ”

"How so?" The gamblers exclaimed in unison.

"Win? I really won, it's all mine! Su Yan excitedly pulled all the silver over in an uproar.

But the loser was unwilling, so he pulled Su Yan over, and he had to play three more rounds before he could let her go.

Yan Zhen said disapprerovingly: "Then let's have three more rounds!" ”

Su Yan's eyes swept over the people present, and he always felt hung in his heart, so he persuaded him to accept it if he saw it.

"Yes, yes, we have enough money for a banquet!" Jin Qi and Changsun Yue's head was like a chicken pecking rice, echoing his husband.

As he spoke, a clear voice resounded in the small gambling house, and everyone looked back and found that it was a young boy, dressed in a water-green robe, with a fan stuck in his waist.

Su Yan recognized it, this person was none other than Ranying.

I saw her slowly approaching the crowd, standing in front of the gambling table, glancing at the table full of bets, and couldn't help sneering: "Yo, I even gambled, Mr. Tangtang, is this an example, this is an example?" He turned his head to the person behind him and said, "Childe, our trip is worth it, and we have caught a spot." ”

As soon as the words fell, Changsun Xi walked out of the crowd dressed as a dignified son, staring at Su Yan with a gloomy smile, just for a moment, he immediately transformed into gentle and elegant, and said to Yanzhen: "Table... How come my cousin has come to such a place, how noble you are, don't let the atmosphere here and the dirty behavior of some people affect you. ”

Jin Qi gave a roll of his eyes: "Didn't you come too, what's the matter, you are also dirty?" It's ridiculous! ”

"Don't get me wrong, we are here on a special trip, in order to catch one of you and get all the stolen goods, I will tell the lord in charge tomorrow, see how you justify!"

Su Yan said: "The academy doesn't stipulate that Mr. is not allowed to gamble, as for the two beside me, Jin Qi took a leave of absence today, and celebrated her grandmother's birthday at home. What's more, we are all here for the appointment today. ”

"Whose appointment are you going?" Ran's baby is in hot pursuit.

"Naturally, this fairy daughter next to me is as beautiful as a fairy!" As he spoke, he pinched Yan Zhen's arm, and he responded immediately.

Ran Ying had already recognized the truth, so naturally she didn't dare to ask any more.

Yan Zhen played with the hair in his hand, still pretending to be a woman, and said softly: "Cousin, I have already run away from home, my father doesn't teach my mother and doesn't raise me, who will care about me, but you, you come out in the middle of the night with a little doll to do something, go back quickly, don't let your uncle find out, but you will be beaten!" ”

Jin Qi said angrily: "That's it, hurry back, don't get in the way of our good things!" ”

Su Yan dragged them away, which was able to quell the invisible war. Yan Zhen took the opportunity to bet the money she just earned again, "Continue to bet big, but do you still have the money?" ”

"I haven't covered the heat yet!" Su Yan wanted to cry without tears, "You left half for me!" ”

Everyone immediately turned over the money bags on their bodies, and Yan Zhen laughed sinisterly: "There is money to gamble, there is no money... Let's play undressing! ”

Su Yan reflexively covered his chest, and the other two hid behind Su Yan at the same time, only half of their heads poked out.

The dealer wiped his greasy chin and said, "This girl is so guts, good!" Just take a gamble! All the heads are divided into two groups, you and the girl next to you are in a group, and we have a best-of-three game! ”

Su Yan tugged at the corner of his clothes, "You're crazy!" What if I lose? ”

Yan Zhen didn't bother to pay attention to her, and said to the dealer: "Okay, good!" Ben will... This girl loves this bet! ”

Su Yan hugged his head in despair, this bet is big!

Seeing that they ignored her one by one, Changsun Xi suddenly became angry, and simply took all the money, put it all on the dealer's side, and accompanied them to the end!

The gambling house is brightly lit, but the alleys outside the room are very empty. Zuo Qing and Xilou appeared at the end of the alley, their eyes wandering away from the gambling house with lights on in the alley.

It's just that the two brothers didn't come to spend a lot of money, and they didn't know that Su Yan was here, and this night visit to the gambling alley was to find someone, a businessman. This man would come to Ruoshui every three months, and when he came, he would bring two large carts of goods, and he was Murphy's man.

Zuo Qing has been keeping an eye out for people who are in contact with Murphy, and one of them is this person who makes him the most suspicious, but his whereabouts are hidden and difficult to follow. Recently, however, he found a pattern of his actions, and this man indulged in restaurants and gambling houses, and left at dawn the next day. At that time, the city gate was not strictly guarded, and there were few people and patrolling troops in the city, so it was the best time for him to flee without realizing it.

"I'll go in and have a look." The west building said as he approached the gambling house.

Zuo Qing quietly withdrew from the alley and hid in another long alley next to it.

Ran Ying lost one handful after another, and the gamblers also lost because they all pressed her, all bare-chested, and blinked with their bodies, which frightened the women present except for Changsun Xi to hang their heads.

Changsun Xi looked indignant, holding the last bit of silver taels in his hand, and pressed it out: "Big! ”

Su Yanmo shook his hands and picked up the dice cup: "Look at everyone, the last one, this time you have money to take money, but you don't have money to take off your clothes obediently!" ”

Everyone stared at the dice cup, for fear that she would do something, but in front of everyone's eyes, the points were still working against them.

Yan Zhen's face couldn't suppress the lewd smile: "Take it off, take it off, don't ink." ”

Everyone was bored, and was about to throw away their clothes and go back to their respective homes, when Changsun Xi shouted: "Bet again, if I lose this time, I will never step into Shuyoutang for half a step in the future, if you lose, Su Yan, kneel down and beg me?" ”

Before Su Yan could speak, Jin Qi jumped up first: "You are so unreasonable, why did one of your students let Mr. kneel, you ate the bear's heart and the leopard galled you!" ”

"Don't have the guts? You've been winning since the beginning, it's not bad for this Su Yan, do you dare to make a final bet with me? ”

How could Su Yan not know her conspiracy and tricks, if she was in normal times, how could she be entangled with her, but now it is different from the past, and if she is really checked, I am afraid that she will not succeed! Then he said: "Okay, I'll make another bet with you." ”

As she spoke, Changsun Xi had already taken another dice, and a group of people gathered around her, stretching their necks to look. Su Yan looked at her posture, it turned out to be a regular customer of the gambling house, that technique, that momentum, who believed that she was a little girl from a good family!

Several veterans present pricked up their ears to listen, but they were stunned that they couldn't hear the size.

As soon as the cup fell, everyone was shocked.

I saw white smoke coming out of the lid of the cup, and I could faintly see the powder leaking out.

Su Yan tugged at the corners of his mouth, and bumped his elbow against the person next to him: "You say, what time is it?" ”

Yan Zhen scratched his head and looked embarrassed.

Su Yan went to look at the powder again, probably the dice were broken, if so......

"Small!"

Changsun Xi smiled disdainfully: "Then it's big." As he spoke, he threw the money bag out.

The dice cup opened, but it was big.

"Impossible! Those dice are obviously broken, you ......"

Changsun Xi opened the dice, revealing the dice cup bottom that was knocked out by the dice: "I used to learn some fur from my grandfather's friend, so I started to be heavy, I didn't think that I would shake out the powder!" She threw the lid and stared at her proudly, "Mr. Su, it's time for you to fulfill your promise." ”

Yan Zhen grabbed Su Yan, who was about to go up and beat people, and persuaded this cousin with kind words: "So many people are watching, cousin, why be aggressive?" ”

Changsun Xi had never heard Yan really call her cousin, but now she was confused when she heard it, but this cousin was for Su Yan, so she was uncomfortable, and gritted her teeth and said: "Since Mr. Su promised first, of course I want her to fulfill it, you say, I did it right?" ”

Everyone was won by Su Yan, and naturally they were unhappy, and at this time, someone took revenge, but they couldn't embarrass her, so no one objected.

Su Yan was in a dilemma, standing where he was, waiting for Yan Zhen to solve the siege. Yan Zhen did not disappoint, overturned the table, and scolded in his throat: "A group of stinky men have turned the sky upside down, if anyone dares to take half a step forward, I will really let him die without a whole body!" ”

True!

The two words fell between the crowd and exploded suddenly. Everyone was so frightened that they jumped out of the window, jumped over the wall, and fainted. The dealer was the only one who stayed there and asked softly, "Eldest grandson... Miss Eldest Sun, what should I do now? ”

Changsun Xi glared at him fiercely, and hurriedly ran to Yan Zhen, grabbing the corner of his robe and begging for mercy: "Cousin, I'll just say that, just kidding, this group of people don't know what to do, and they really want Mr. Su to kneel!" ”

"Changsun Xi, I warn you." Yan Zhen ripped open his sleeves, "I don't feel embarrassed for the sake of our cousins, but you dare to embarrass Su Yan, and my six relatives don't recognize it!" ”

"You're going to turn your face on me for her?"

"We're just a blood line. Back then, your father and my mother forced Buddha's mother to death and forced my sister away, don't you know? You are still licking your face to climb the relationship, do we have a relationship, your surname is the eldest grandson, I have changed my surname to Yan now, don't talk about you, I don't even have anything to do with the singer! ”

This time it was not only Changsun Xi who was surprised, but also Su Yan and Jin Qi, who were all surprised.

Eldest Sun Xi clenched his fists, holding back his anger, but he was still whispering: "That's their old grudge, why do our younger generations have grudges, cousin, what do you do with them, we still played together when we were young......"

"Don't think I don't know that you ever wanted to harm the Buddha, she is older than you, she lets you everywhere, but you take advantage of my absence, take advantage of her sister's absence, and want to push her into the river, it is a cold winter! If the housekeeper hadn't found out in time, I would have seen her anywhere now. ”

Changsun Xi was suddenly flustered, she didn't expect that Yan Zhen would be clear about the past, but at that time, he was obviously out on the battlefield......

Yan Zhen locked her shoulder, and his face full of anger was only a fist away from her: "There are still many deeds, why don't you shake them all out?" ”

Changsun Xi shook his head in horror and retreated again and again.

"Your father's eldest grandson is nameless, my good uncle, in order to compete for the family inheritance, spread rumors, said that a good woman who has not left the cabinet is a demon girl, and framed her to confuse Uncle Wuchang." He pointed to the eldest grandson Yue and continued, "Her mother, although she is just a maid, but she is arrogant, how can she be slandered by those stigmaties!" It's clear that your father is the first to defile and the last to be blamed! ”

"Nonsense!" The eldest grandson Yue was holding a handkerchief in his hand, and his eyes were moist.

Yan Zhen knew that he had slipped his mouth, and hurriedly comforted her.

Eldest Sun Xi snorted coldly: "Empty mouth and white teeth, there is no evidence, this is a frame-up!" What kind of identity could my father have been involved in a lowly maid? It's just that others think so, even cousin, you..." she held back her tears, "Eldest grandson Yue, your mother is cheap, morning and evening, I don't know how many men I hooked up with in the next pile, my uncle is blind, I know that your mother has already lost her body, and I still have to marry her, like a treasure, it's really crazy!" ”

Su Yan really couldn't listen to Changsun Xi's arrogant posture, and shouted: "Changsun Xi, what you are chewing on now is the business of your elders, there are outsiders here, once it spreads, people who don't know will misinterpret this matter and discredit your family, and those who know will mention it again when they hear about it, if they know that you are the first to spread it, what will happen to you in the end, you should be clear." ”

Changsun Xi had a broken and broken attitude: "What I said is true, why don't you believe it." ”

"You're full of nonsense! My mother is walking right, standing up straight, what is going on in the morning, all of them are nonsense. If you hate me, I don't care about you, but I won't allow you to frame my mother! The eldest grandson roared hysterically, the green tendons on his forehead all bulged, and as soon as he finished speaking, his feet were weak, he collapsed, and he cried uncontrollably.

Jin Qi's face was red with anger, and he scolded bitterly: "It's true that the famous family is a rebel, the eldest grandson's family has such a person as you, it's really black smoke coming out of the ancestral tomb, what the hell!" You have to remember what you said to Changsun Yue today, and you will pay it back in the future! ”

"Yo, your father has been promoted now, and this arrogance has risen a lot, Jinqi, when did you become so concerned about the weak, didn't you like to pat on the back around me in the past?"

In the past, in order not to give his father a problem, Jin Qi often listened to the words of the eldest grandson, and at the same time, he was indeed young and ignorant, but now that his mind is mature, his father has become the secretary of Dali Temple, how can she still be influenced by her eldest grandson Xi!

But these words, in addition to Jinqi, Ranying also felt uncomfortable when he heard it.

"Heroes don't ask where they come from, everyone has a time when they are blind and step on shit!" Not to be outdone.

Su Yanda admired this girl with a chapter in her heart.

Yanzhen solemnly said to the eldest grandson Yue: "Your mother is not the kind of person she said, and your father is not forced to marry your mother, everything is just someone else's conspiracy!" They really love each other, don't listen to her nonsense. ”

But why did my father never stop the rumors? General, do you know how much my mother endured, and there are still people talking about it behind her back. Rumors can kill people, they make my mother depressed all day long, and I can't hold my head up! Why didn't my father stand up, why did this happen! Changsun Yue's hands were trembling, and he almost shouted out with his last strength.

"He lost his inheritance qualifications, he had nothing at that time, if he stood up again, would others believe him? He's only going to lose more, including your mother. So he endured all the slander, step by step, and struggled to enter the officialdom, so that he won all this now. Although your mother is still not treated well by her people, but outside, except for those rotten people who only dare to hide in dark corners and chew the root of their tongues, who dares to say half a word about her? Your father bought another house for your mother, and under the protection of your father, he almost cut off contact with everyone in the eldest grandson's family, and she didn't have to endure the cold eyes of the clan, isn't it enough? ”

Under the night, the faint blue light spread on the ground, and a figure elongated, touching the face of Changsun Yue. Everyone seemed to feel an aura, as if stagnating, and looked at the door.

A thin young man stood at the door, with a sunny smile on his handsome face, which was incompatible with the night. Su Yan was stunned, why is this person so similar to him?

No! He's not, he's dead, can't be alive, can't be!

"It's very lively in the middle of the night." The young man looked at Changsun Yue and hissed, "What's going on?" Why is the gambling house still trying the case, am I missing something? ”

"Who's your Excellency?" Su Yan asked him.

"Hehe, in Xiajianghu people, the name is not enough to worry about, not enough to worry about."

"Don't you know that something happened here, and all the gamblers have run away?" Su Yan had a hunch that this person's purpose was suspicious.

"Know... So I came to him below. The young man pointed to the dealer with a smile on his face, "You forgot, I came here yesterday to gamble money, lost you ten gold, and today I came to repay the money, but the wealth should not be exposed, please follow me to the carriage to settle the accounts." ”

The dealer tilted his head and thought, the gambling house was closed yesterday, let alone owed money, but... How can this money sent to the door be pushed out!

immediately greeted him, and his face was wrinkled: "Yes, yes, I did give you a credit yesterday, so it's troublesome!" With that, he left the gambling house with him.

Su Yan hurriedly chased out of the gambling house to stop him, "Who are you?" ”

The boy didn't stop.

"Do you know Wei Zhen? Do you know each other? ”

The boy ignored her and strode away. However, Su Yan completely forgot that the two students he brought out and the eldest grandson Xi still stayed in the gambling house.

The boy knocked the dealer unconscious and threw him into the carriage parked outside the alley.

"It didn't take much effort to get it, it was a ready-made one."

Zuo Qing looked at Su Yan in surprise, "Why are you here?" ”

"Zuo Qing?" Su Yan rubbed his eyes, still unable to believe it: "A person with a pure heart and few desires like you would come to this kind of place..." Who exactly? ”

Zuo Qing sighed heavily, "Since you're here, let's go first." ”

The night was like ink, the streets were deserted, and the carriages rushed out of the city gates at a gallop.

The eldest grandson Yue and Jin Qi chased out of the gambling house until they reached the mouth of the alley, only to see a carriage galloping by, but there was no Mr. Su.

Changsun Xi came out in a few steps, and as the carriage went away, his eyes also disappeared. I saw a few people in night clothes, climbing over the roof, like a night ghost, following the carriage closely.

She withdrew her gaze as if she had never seen anyone suspicious.

When Jin Qi saw Changsun Xi, he couldn't help but snort coldly: "I don't want to get into trouble anymore, Changsun Yue, go home with me, take a good bath, and go to taste!" ”

As he spoke, he helped her limp and disappear into the night.

"Cut, I don't know what to do!" Changsun Xi didn't take it seriously at all, she just wanted to receive the useful news brought back by the dead soldier as soon as possible.
