Chapter 18 The Old Treacherous and Cunning
"The old man is not interested in gambling, Miss Gu may have found the wrong person." Geng Shiren's identity is very human, although Gu Li's background is mysterious and his identity is not ordinary, but his money is also earned by him with great difficulty, how can he just use Gu Li's words to gamble, if so, he will not accumulate such a big family business, so he refused without hesitation.
Gu Li seemed to be able to guess what was going on in his heart, and suddenly spoke: "Master Geng has an extraordinary experience, but do you know what is the saddest thing in the world?" ”
"What is it?" Gu Li suddenly diverted the topic, and Geng Shiren was a little confused.
"It's the person who died, the money was gone, and in the end he made a wedding dress for someone else." Gu Li looked at the beautifully decorated tea room, these rich people are willing to spend money for their own enjoyment, and it is difficult to pull out a money or two from their hands, but if it is what they want, they are naturally willing to spend a lot of money.
Gu Li's words made Geng Shiren feel excited, he suddenly thought of his wife's lover outside, Qin Hui, he didn't dare to question his wife Geng Tao's life experience these days, and even pretended to be busy with business and didn't even return home, isn't he afraid that Qin Hui, the underground emperor of Qianjing City, will kill someone?
If Geng Shiren is dead now, then it is logical that the Wanguan family wealth belongs to Geng Tao alone, but Qin Hui is not only rich but also powerful, even if he knows that his wife is stealing people, what if he knows that his wife is stealing people.
Gu Li looked at Geng Shiren's face and continued to say leisurely: "This time the two major martial arts halls competed, and the major gambling houses have set up handicaps, and among them, the one who won the most in the Tai and the martial arts hall was a person named Qin Hui, as far as I know, almost all of them are worth their money. ”
Qin Hui was the one who gave Shen Rou medicinal tea, although he wore a hat, but when he had a lover that night, Gu Li remembered his voice, probably very few people knew his voice, and he didn't deliberately hide his voice at that time.
The original plot was that Qin Hui united with the owner of the Taihe Martial Arts Pavilion to give Gu Lun the medicine, Qin Hui bet on the Taihe Martial Arts Pavilion to win, and made a lot of money, and the owner of the Taihe Martial Arts Pavilion also got what he wanted, a win-win situation.
When Qin Hui's name came out of Gu Li's mouth, Geng Shiren's eyes turned red, the person who cuckolded him was still threatening his life, and he immediately spoke: "Tell me about your plan." ”
Gu Li didn't hide it, and said straight to the point: "The reason why Qin Hui staked almost all his net worth is naturally because he manipulated this competition by means, I can ruin his plan and let him overturn." At the same time, you pay 100,000 taels of silver and bet on the Longmen Martial Arts Pavilion to win, and I will let you make a big profit, but I want fifty percent of the income. ”
"One hundred thousand taels of silver, not a small amount, why should I believe you?" Geng Shiren's face was solemn, and he no longer regarded Gu Li as a little girl who didn't know anything about the world.
"Master Geng can naturally inquire, among the people who participated, there was a person with the same surname as me, he was my second brother, Qin Hui was the one who was killed, it was my second brother, even if there was no gambling game, I would have saved my second brother." Gu Li is not afraid that Geng Shiren will know her identity and origin, because no one knows her true origin.
"Okay, I promise you, 100,000 taels of silver, but your share of fifty percent is too much, thirty percent, at most thirty thousand." Geng Shiren is a businessman, so he naturally attaches more importance to profits.
"Give me sixty percent, after this incident, I will help you bring down Qin Hui, you are still young, don't you want your own heir?" Gu Li's words are indeed tempting, but Geng Shiren is not stupid.
"The old man can give you thirty percent first, and the remaining thirty percent, and when you do what you say, the old man will give you all the amount, not only that, but you can also be a friend of my Geng family." An old fox is an old fox, and he doesn't want to take any risks.
"It's a deal." Gu Li was not angry, and got up with a smile to say goodbye.
After Gu Li left, Geng Shiren immediately sent someone to inquire, and when he learned that there was indeed a person named Qin Hui who bet 100,000 taels of silver to buy the Taihe Martial Arts Pavilion to win, he did not hesitate to bet 100,000 taels of silver to buy the Longmen Martial Arts Pavilion to win.
Gu Lun didn't tell his parents and brothers about his martial arts competition, first, because he was afraid that they would be worried, and second, he was afraid that they would affect his performance off-the-field.
However, under the impetus of the gambling house and some well-intentioned people, three days later, the competition between the Longmen Martial Arts Hall and the Taihe Martial Arts Hall alarmed the entire Qianjing.
Early in the morning, the central square of Qiancheng was crowded with people, but outside the gate of Wuying Building next to the central square, there was a sound of dispute.
"Who are you, why don't you let me in? I'm General Shen's daughter! Shen Rou was blocked at the door with an angry face, and behind her, followed by the maid and the little maid, the group could be said to have come to Wuying Building and asked to go in.
However, they were blocked at the door for half an hour, and the people around her pointed at her, and she was very embarrassed. She didn't want to get in and leave
As the Wuying Building in the central square where the major events in Qianjing took place, its gatekeeper has never seen any dignitaries and nobles, although the identity of the concubine of the general's mansion is precious, but this competition is a day when the family intervenes, so he does not take Shen Rou in his eyes.
"This young lady, please understand, only those who have an invitation letter are eligible to enter here, please take out the invitation letter." Facing the angry Shen Rou, the guards at the door still said a few cold words, so angry that Shen Rou almost couldn't hold the eldest lady's frame and scolded.
At this moment, a group of people came from the door, led by Meng Fuzi, and behind Meng Fuzi was a highly respected person in Qianjing, obviously, this group of people was the referee.
Meng Fuzi followed Gu Li, and the group entered Wuying Building without the slightest hindrance, and Gu Li even turned his head and glanced at Shen Rou defiantly when he entered.
Shen Rou watched Gu Li follow Meng Fuzi into Wuying Building, and at that moment, the whole person shouted at the doorman of Wuying Building like crazy: "Why can Gu Li go in?" It's the woman, why can she go in? ”
"You mean Miss Li? She is a disciple of Master Meng, so she can naturally go in. The doorman glanced at Gu Li's back, with an expression of "you are too lonely".
"I am also a disciple of Master Meng!" Shen Rou hurriedly said.
"Master Meng has only one personal disciple, and the whole Qianjing knows about this, where did you come from?" The doorman was puzzled.
The personal disciples are different from the students of the academy, they are like parents and children, and Shen Rou knew that Meng Fuzi would not believe Gu Li's bullying of himself, and he would definitely not punish Gu Li for this.
This matter is all known to Qianjing, only she Shen Rou does not know.
Just when Shen Rou was blocked at the door and couldn't get in, another group of people came over, led by a middle-aged man, with a heroic and righteous face, a beard on his face, and his eyebrows furrowed slightly, as if he was a little worried.
And Shen Rou's gaze fell on a slender and upright figure behind the middle-aged man, her eyes lit up, and she said in surprise: "Second brother!" ”
