Volume 2 Jianghu Grievances Chapter 63 There is a head and a debtor
There is a secret here, coming to the small street of money, Hu Chuankui can find the feeling of being served by the emperor from the casino and bathhouse.
is a human being, and they all like to find a sense of existence in front of others, and Hu Chuankui is no exception.
What's more, as long as the little maid in the box gives silver, he can be as chic as he is. Hugging left and right, Hu Chuankui can spend the rest of his life in his old age, and he can still taste the emperor-like happiness of living in the same room with a little girl and sleeping in the same bed, and he can't find a place like Zhaojiadun Casino that makes him ecstatic.
As for what is the demeanor of the elderly, in Hu Chuankui's mind, there is a soul that is lost, that is, he picks this life to earn luck. How could he choose to do something that was contrary to his luck?
Of course not!
Besides, how could he, a hypocrite who had only studied in a private school for a few years, have the demeanor of a scholarly family. Even if there is, it is an image of a humble gentleman deliberately pretended to be because of some need. However, this kind of pretended hypocrite appearance, when he encounters a real Ni Xuxian in the Ni's cake shop at the mouth of the fish market, then Guan Gong will play a big knife in front of him, and Hu Chuankui will not measure his strength and cultivate his humiliation.
Seeing Hu Chuankui away, Zhao Guodeng hurriedly beckoned to the shopkeeper: "How is it?" Did the old guy exchange all the copper plates and copper coins? ”
The shopkeeper was a thief with rat eyes, and he looked around, and then said bluntly: "The owner, in Zhaojiadun Casino, there is no uneven deal for the shopkeeper." Did you see Hu Chuankui smiling? ”
Zhao Guodeng nodded: "Well, I might be very excited to see it!" ”
"Haha, that's right, you finally guessed his mind, impartially. He was really worried that the silver ticket would expire and be invalid, so he would rather exchange it for copper plates and copper coins than leave the silver ticket in his own hands. Even if a thousand taels of silver tickets were against a thousand of his copper coins and plates, Hu Chuankui didn't even blink his eyes, and he was still proud. ”
Looking at Hu Chuankui's distant back, Zhao Guodeng smiled.
The copper plate and copper coins of the Great Qing Kingdom are not worth much.
If you want to say that it is valuable, the exchange rate of silver tickets in the Northern Song Dynasty is relatively high. Hu Chuankui's old boy may be because the silver ticket is easy to come by, and Yuan Datou is prevalent in the market, in order to catch up with the fashion, Hu Chuankui is really out of the way. Alas, no matter what so many things to do, it is easy for people to get silver tickets.
Even if the exchange is less, it is not a problem, because it is not painful. For Hu Chuankui, the silver ticket is not rare to get, and if he loses it, he is not distressed, anyway, it is easy to come.
Ma Shukui also achieved his goal here, I don't know what he was messing with Wang Erya when he left, the two of them tended to cling to power and chasing fame and fortune, and they were not good people. The two of them are together, but they can be regarded as embarrassed, and a group of ants are attached. It can also be said that the city god loses the old Dai, and the old Dai loses the city god.
Wang Erya used eroticism to solicit business for her family, and it must be said that Ma Shukui's Wujindang bandits often frequented their Zhaojiadun casino and bathhouse, and it was Ma Shukui who looked at Wang Erya's face.
Of course, we can't ignore Zhao Guodeng's way of doing business.
A card in Zhao Guodeng's hand, second only to Wang Dexia of Ma Shukui, is also indispensable.
Wang Erya's silent help to Ma Shukui was just that Zhao Guodeng didn't know.
Although he has an unusual business acumen, if Wang Erya had not tempted Ma Shukui with lust, it would be impossible for the bandits of Wujindang to always come to their house to consume and cheer. Also, the little girl from the private room lifted her buttocks and exposed her stocks, there is no such business method of seducing with color, where did the vitality of Zhaojiadun Casino come from......
Hu Chuankui returned home and took the silver ticket to the Zhaojiadun Casino on the small street of the money store and exchanged it in the form of gambling money. In his opinion, he is the best policy. Zhao Guodeng was a stunned young man who didn't know how to buy and sell business in the eyes of Hu Chuankui for a while. He believes that Zhao Guodeng is dumb and bitter, and he can't say it.
At least, Hu Chuankui was complacent, thinking that Zhao Guodeng had rotted the abolished copper plate and copper coins in his hands, but it was a big loss.
So, every time I come to Zhaojiadun Casino, I always have a little ulterior pride and a little happiness in my heart.
He didn't know that the silver ticket in the Northern Song Dynasty might be worthless in the hands of others.
But in the hands of someone like Zhao Guodeng with a certain amount of collecting experience, it is priceless. For several days, Hu Chuankui sped up, first using silver tickets to exchange copper plates and copper coins at Zhao Guodeng's account office, and then using copper plates and copper coins to exchange them for chips, and gambling in the private room.
Winning the silver and the ocean, losing is indeed copper plate and copper coins, how can Hu Chuankui not be happy.
Mr. Zhao Guodeng's bookkeeper has been very busy in the past few days, and the reason is very simple, Hu Chuankui's silver ticket appeared, and he had to hurry up and use the abacus to convert the exchange rate. The person who won Hu Chuankui's copper plate and copper coin, took the copper plate and copper money and came to Mr. Accounts to exchange it for the ocean, again and again, and so on, do you say that Mr. Accounts of Zhaojiadun Casino is busy?
Despite this, Mr. Bookkeeper is willing to pay for Zhao Guodeng, because he knows how much profit is in it.
Ma Shukui did not leave Zhaojiadun Casino for several days.
Hu Chuankui didn't come, and Ma Shukui didn't come either. Hu Chuankui arrived at the box with his front foot, and Ma Shukui entered the hall with his back foot.
The person wearing a top hat and a big coat entered the box to bet, winning and losing, regardless of the wind and waves, and sat firmly on the Diaoyu Tai. He doesn't laugh when he wins, he doesn't jump when he loses, he has the attitude of a winner, and he is full of confidence. Although his face was wrinkled and his beard was gray, he was dressed like an old man.
But the sound of his walking and speaking was still in front of Mr. Zhao Guodeng's bookkeeper, betraying himself.
Er Dongcheng came to the counter with copper plates and copper coins: "Wow...... Gurgle ......"
A large pile of copper plates and copper coins were poured from the cloth pocket onto the counter panel. "Quick, Mr. Bookkeeper, quickly exchange Lao Tzu for the ocean. Don't delay Lao Tzu's recent good luck, hahaha, it's really good luck, and you can't stop it if you want to. ”
With a little smugness, Er Dongcheng stretched out his sinful three hands from the crowded private room.
While the gambler's attention is on the pai gow table, the gambler's pocket is blackhanded. Rongmen is the best at buying and selling, and the best thing is to live by stealing.
What's more, Er Dongcheng is the head of this meeting.
Of course, Er Dongcheng saw the opportunity to start, not to attack the people who continued to gamble in the box. Rather, for those who want to leave after winning money, he is observant. People's morality, stealing in Zhaojiadun Casino, spreading it will definitely bring immeasurable losses to Zhao Guodeng's business.
At this point, Er Dongcheng doesn't do anything to be sorry for his friends.
"Hey, second master, you haven't been an ordinary success in the past few days? It seems that luck is good. How about encountering good things and not sharing them with my bookkeeper? "Mr. Bookkeeper will not play such a joke on losers. Because laughing when you win and jumping when you lose is the inertia of gamblers. He didn't want to provoke the gambler's bad face, or to spray with a dirty word.
"Alas, I've been dressed like this and I've hidden the shopkeeper, why can't I hide it from your account man?"
Er Dongcheng was a little strange, he didn't know how Mr. Ledger could see that he Er Dongcheng had the skin of a sixty or seventy-year-old man on his face, his wig was gray, and his beard dragged to his chest, he hid it from everyone, but he couldn't hide it from Mr. Ledger, what is the problem?
He wanted to figure it out so that he wouldn't come back next time and improve it himself.
The bookkeeper was also dissatisfied, and he clattered his hands on the abacus.
A pair of eyes looked at Er Dongcheng, supplemented by a contemptuous smile and asked, "Second Master, do you want to hear my Mr. Accounts tell the truth, or do you want to hear my Mr. Accounts say a few words to flatter you?" Telling lies to flatter you, although it makes you happy, but over time, the ills that happen to you are gradually magnified, and at that time, your second master will not even have a chance to regret it.
To tell the truth, it will not be pleasant for you at the time, but the flaws that can be pointed out can be corrected after you go back, and they will accumulate over time, and it will not be easy to show your feet. The so-called good medicine is good for the disease, and the advice is good for the ear, it depends on which kind of old words your second master likes to hear! Hehe......"
Mr. Bookkeeper doesn't look simple, one pair of eyes is staring at Er Dongcheng's facial expression, but one pair of hands is on the abacus, constantly dialing the beads back and forth left and right, busy but not chaotic, and the score is exactly the same.
At such a level of proficiency as Mr. Bookkeeper's plan, in those days, he went to many places.
Just like the bank counter staff in the fifties and sixties of the twentieth century, the speed at which they plan to dish, you dare not open your eyes, and the speed at which the fingers pluck the beads is really unparalleled in the world.
"Hey, Mr. Bookkeeper, don't sell it to me, if you have something to say, you can release a fart. I'm going to change it if I have it, I'm going to encourage it, come on, let's talk about it, how do you see that it's my Erdong. ”
The bookkeeper got up from his seat, stood on tiptoe and stuck his head out of the counter.
echoed Er Dongcheng's ear and said: "Second master, it's your walking posture, how you talk to you, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't sound like the voice and appearance of the sixty or seventy-year-old person you put on makeup, it's too exaggerated, you know." After the bookkeeper finished speaking, he sat back down and continued to knock on the plate, as if nothing had been said.
Er Dongcheng chuckled in his heart, I'll go, that's what the old guy said.
Fortunately, in Zhaojiadun Casino, if you go far away and are discovered, wouldn't it be taking off your pants and farting to ask for trouble? "Uh-uh, you're right, it seems that next time you come back, you'll have to take a look in front of your bookkeeper. Otherwise, my Erdong Cheng Ancestral Migration Secret Book is wasted. ”
Er Dongcheng and Ma Shukui, two Wujindang bandits, are staring at Hu Chuankui's traces, which is not a good thing.
The bookkeeper had a premonition that a fight might take place.
If it wasn't for Zhaojiadun Casino, it would definitely have something to do with Hu Chuankui.
Hu Chuankui is always careless in Jingzhou, on the way home, he is exchanging the silver ticket for the ocean for himself, he is smug: look at me Hu Chuankui, throw the worthless silver ticket out and exchange it for the ocean, hehe, in addition to Hu Chuankui can have this talent, it is estimated that the central village will not find a second one. Afraid of being drunk and dreaming of death, he never considered the warnings and advice of the world who had a calculating heart and a heartless person.
was targeted by Ma Shukui for the first time in Zhaojiadun Casino, not only posted his niece Sun Yujuan upside down, but also was extorted 500 taels of silver tickets. It stands to reason that Hu Chuankui should have a long memory.
It's a pity that Hu Chuankui may be relying on his wealth and wealth to refrain from improving his behavior of revealing his wealth at all. Although, he has quickly transferred the silver ticket he got from his sister Hu Chuanfeng, wanting to dispel the panic and anxiety because the silver ticket is hidden in his home. This person, if he has done a good deed, he is really not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night.
Once you do what you think is bad, you can't sleep well.
Every time he saw the silver ticket handed over to the eldest lady, Hu Chuankui's mind would appear with his sister Hu Chuanfeng's expression of frowning at her.
Alas, no wonder my sister was angry at herself, and Hu Chuankui was also thinking in his heart: It's okay to stuff my sister's property. Because of the property that originally belonged to her and her brother-in-law, the two of them left it to Sun Yuqing, the heir of the Sun family, and it was unfair to say that it was unfair to her niece Sun Yujuan.
Hu Chuankui didn't feel sorry for his sister's property, but as an uncle, in order to protect his family, he actually threw his sister away from the only hope in the world, and gave it to the bandits of Wujindang. Hey, what's the difference between that and throwing their children out of a mass grave. Therefore, Hu Chuankui often made his sister show a vicious expression to himself, and he became more and more flustered.
As a last resort, I decided to dispose of the silver ticket to show that I didn't look at it and was not upset.
Besides, now is the era of the ocean, isn't it a bit bumpy to talk about things with silver tickets......
In the golden autumn of October, Wang Dexia took a group of people to Zhaojiadun Casino.
She behaved differently from Ma Shukui, Ma Shukui came to stare at Hu Chuankui, and on the other hand, he came to take Sun Yujuan with a big belly, and he came to Wang Erya for entertainment and fun. Wang Dexia went straight to Zhao Guodeng as the theme, she lacked nothing, calling for wind and rain, and she was not inferior to Ma Shukui in Wujindang.
Because, Wang Dexia carried the brand of Ma Shukui's brother Ma Zhankui and swept everything in Wujindang.
Since losing the battle with Sun Yuqing, Ma Shukui has been haunted.
He continued to recruit troops, expand his ranks, and his funding was stretched. For the merchant ships that come and go in Wujindang, at least, the merchant ships under the banner of the Ma family and the Sun family, Ma Shukui will never dare to do it again. Because, the warring parties have a self-restraint in their hearts: if you win, others will listen to you; Defeat you listen to someone else's.
This is the rule of the rivers and lakes, and no one can break it.
All over the world, people who eat rivers and lakes are one family, and everyone has to talk about righteousness in this regard.
Therefore, in the battle with Sun Yuqing, Ma Shu suffered a loss.
What he didn't know, Ma Shukui was alive, and the news from Wujindang to Ma Zhankui was: Ma Shukui had been sunk into Wujindang along with the big wooden boat led by Sun Yuqing, and no one returned! Ma Zhankui is urgently preparing to break off with Sun Yuqing of Ma Jiadang, intending to avenge his younger brother Ma Shukui.
Ma Shukui urgently prepared how to attack Hu Chuankui, which was his wife, Sun Yujuan, the first request to Ma Shukui.
Otherwise, Sun Yujuan would not let Ma Shukui get close to her, let alone be pregnant with Ma Shukui's child. His elder brother Ma Zhankui is urgently preparing for a thorough reckoning with Sun Yuqing. The Dark Eight Gates, except for Er Dongcheng's Rongmen business, were almost all active by Ma Zhankui. The key is that the person sent by Ma Zhankui to Wujindang to investigate the cause of the matter was intercepted and killed by the midwife in Zhaojiadun Casino.
The people sent by Ma Zhankui did not return, and he knew that the situation was not good, and the consequences were serious.
Wang Dexia and Er Dongcheng would never have thought that the midwife from their side turned out to be the one who killed his brother sent out from Shanghai to find out. The news was interrupted because after Ma Shukui had Sun Yujuan, he just wanted to be happy with Mrs. Zhai, completely ignoring him and Sun Yuqing's battle, which made Sun Yuqing the master of the Ma family.
also gave himself the disappearance in Ugindang, fueling the troubles.
Not only that, his brother Ma Zhankui and Sun Yuqing have a deep hatred, both because of Ma Shukui. If Ma Shukui at this meeting sent someone to get in touch with his brother Ma Zhankui and say that he was safe and sound, perhaps, Ma Zhankui would give up his plan to retaliate against Sun Yuqing. However, Ma Shukui was preoccupied with Sun Yujuan's request that he take away her share of the family property from his uncle and aunt, and left everything else behind.
One morning in early autumn, Ma Shukui took the bandits of Wujindang to go ashore from the wharf of Qianxing Street, and found a carriage for Sun Yujuan, who had a big belly, and the rest of the people, on horseback, drove to the central village.
Unlike the first time, it was a sneak attack on Hu Chuankui's house at night.
This time, under the guise of sending Sun Yujuan to her mother's house, Ma Shukui swaggered into the central village. Hu Chuankui is not unprepared, since the last time Ma Shukui came to shut down and beat the dog, he has learned a lesson......
