"Miss, who are you angry with?" Ling'er saw Yuan Xi's gloomy face, and her heart was a little worried.

"Did Lan Yu sleep?"

Ling'er nodded, and opened the curtain slightly, and Lan Yu was sleeping soundly. Yuan Xi looked sideways: "Tomorrow, send Miss Lan home, and by the way, tell Mrs. Lan that King Baojun intends to ban gambling within three months of the Queen Mother's funeral, and the offenders will be seized." Those gambling houses all paid tribute to Lan people behind their backs, and he couldn't ignore them. Tell them to rein in for a few days and talk about it after the limelight is over. ”

Ling'er wrote them down one by one, and then asked, "Miss, what happened, why did Miss Lan suddenly faint?"

Yuan Xi sighed: "Tomorrow afternoon, when you go to the official mansion, you will say that there are people fighting and making trouble in Mingjinfang." ”

"Who's making trouble?"

"Wei Chengzhen. ”

Ling'er trembled, but quickly calmed down: "After Miss left, I asked Xiao Cui'er to go to Aunt You's courtyard, but I didn't see any kingfishers." The people in their courtyard are strict-mouthed, and even if they do, they won't admit it. ”

"Got it. Yuan Xi returned to his room: "If I remember correctly, every time Cheng Zhen drank flower wine overnight, he would go out at noon on the second day to drink sour soup, and go to Mingjinfang in the afternoon to gamble money." ”

Ling'er was inexplicable: "Miss, the second young master hasn't been like this for a day or two, why did you suddenly talk about this today?"

Yuan Xi sneered: "Because tomorrow, I will go on a killing spree." ”

Cheng Zhen goes to Mingjinfang every day to gamble money, but he doesn't have much silver, every time he loses ten taels or twenty taels, he goes home, sometimes people look at his second young master of the Wei family, and deliberately let him win two, in order to make him want to stop.

Cheng Zhen drank a night of flower wine, and woke up from the singer's bed at noon the next day. staggered out of the door, and drank a bowl of sour soup pearl balls on the edge of the overpass, which was regarded as the start of a new day.

Stepping into the façade of Mingjinfang, Cheng Zhen took out five taels of silver: "Is there a bureau?"

The boss of Mingjinfang made a look, and a guy serving tea greeted him: "Yo, the second master of the Wei family, you came early today." ”

Cheng Zhen grabbed him: "Don't fuck nonsense, didn't you get started? ”

The little guy bowed: "I'm sorry Second Master, we can't gamble today, we can't gamble in the next few months, the court won't let it." You always rest your hands, let us live, and let us breathe a sigh of relief, so as not to lose to you. ”

The little guy is used to pretending to be pitiful, but Cheng Zhen has been messing around in the casino for so long, and these flattering words can still be understood, and they are clearly excuses. Cheng Zhen grabbed him by the collar: "You don't fill garlic for Lao Tzu, I'm afraid that Lao Tzu can't afford to gamble?

"Hey, my second master, we all know that your family has a big business, even if you lose until next year, you will still eat and drink spicy food when you go home. But it's really an order from the government, you see, there's no one here, go home quickly. ”

"I'll fuck you!" Cheng Zhen took advantage of his drunkenness and smashed a fist into the eye socket of the little guy, and he hit the black eye.

The boss of Mingjinfang secretly gritted his teeth, hooked his fingers, and called the two guys who made the sticks: "Beat him out for me." ”

The guy who was beaten was the brother of these two men with sticks, and when they saw that their brothers were beaten, how could these two give up, and slammed a stick on Cheng Zhen's chest and knocked him out more than a dozen steps away.

Cheng Zhen clutched his chest and almost vomited out the sour soup garden in the morning. He has been spoiled since he was a child, when has he ever suffered such a loss? At that time, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a stool next to him, and he didn't care about it, he picked up the stool and hit the man. One of them dodged, and each used a stick to stop him, but the stick snapped and failed, and the stool struck him on the left side of the head in a daze.

There was a muffled thud, and the guy spat blood and fell to the ground unconscious.

"Murder!" the people in the gambling house exclaimed, and hurriedly ran out. Outside, a group of sergeants with knives rushed in, surrounded the people inside, and two of them picked up Cheng Zhen on the left and right: "This is the murderer!"

"Let go of me, you bastard!" Cheng Zhen couldn't break free, and was tied up with a hemp rope.

......

"Old lady, something happened to the old lady!" A doorman ran in in a panic: "People outside say that our second young master killed someone in the casino!"

"Nonsense!" Aunt You narrowed her eyes: "How could Cheng Zhen!"

Menzi wiped his sweat: "It's spread like this outside, I heard that the second young master wants to gamble, but the boss of Mingjinfang doesn't gamble with him, so the second young master made a move, and beat people to death! Now that the second young master has been arrested by the yamen, auntie, find a way to inquire!"

Cheng Zhen also fights a lot on weekdays, and his family has lost a lot of medical expenses, for this, Wei Dongshu has been angry several times, but Cheng Zhen has not changed. This time is different, if you kill someone, you will cause a lawsuit, and it will no longer be a few pieces of silver.

"What?!" Yuanjia's legs went limp.

The old lady wiped away her tears: "I said a long time ago, you have to be strict with Cheng Zhen, this is good, killing people is worth their lives, our Wei family is going to break a root!"

Aunt You's face became more and more pale, but her mind was not confused: "In the past, Cheng Zhen gambled in Mingjinfang, why is it suddenly not allowed to gamble today?"

"I heard that it was an order from the government, and the Queen Mother was mourned and was not allowed to play with money. ”

Hearing what Menzi said, Aunt You was completely suffocated, and she couldn't afford to provoke the government.

Several women were at a loss, Wei Dongshu entered the door angrily, and slapped You Shi on the head, Wei Dongshu was so angry that he beat You Shi in a circle and fell to the ground.

Yuan Jia hurriedly knelt down and cried: "Dad, what are you doing beating your mother?"

Wei Dongshu pointed at You Shi angrily: "They are all good sons you taught, I said a long time ago that he is not allowed to gamble, so you will secretly give silver." He fought outside, and you filled it with silver, and you were reluctant to teach a lesson, but now it's good, it's a death, I'll see how much silver you have to fill it!"

The old lady took Wei Dongshu's hand, although she was also angry in her heart, she was reluctant to give up her grandson: "You quickly think of a way, so as to save the child first." ”

"Mother, what can I do now? Cheng Zhen killed someone, that was what the officers and soldiers saw with their own eyes, and the evidence is there!" Wei Dongshu snorted angrily and picked up the teacup and threw it on the table again.

"Father, don't those poor people like money? Don't they want to sue? Let's give them money, and don't let them sue. Yuan Jia shook Wei Dongshu's cocked boots, his face full of anticipation.

Wei Dongshu leaned over slightly: "Silver? Who gave the silver? Is it you? How much silver can you give them? How much silver do you think human life is worth? Heartless thing!"

You Shi cried: "Master, it's useless for you to be angry with Yuan Jia at this time, Cheng Zhen is your son, you can't sit idly by!"

The old lady twisted the Buddha beads and suddenly raised her head: "That godfather of the third girl of our family of Master Jingzhao Yin Lan, Miss Lanyu of his family still lived in our house yesterday." Why don't you let the three girls go to Lord Lan and reduce Cheng Zhen's sentence?"

Lan Yu?!You Shi shuddered, the medicine yesterday failed to put Lan Yu down, Wei Yuanxi must know, how could she intercede for Cheng Zhen at this time, if she falls into the well, can Cheng Zhen still have a way to live?

"This ......"

Before You Shi could think of how to answer, Yuan Xi had already entered the door: "Dad, grandmother, I heard that the second brother had an accident." ”

The old lady grabbed Yuan Xi with tears in her eyes: "Your second brother killed someone, what can I do?"

Yuan Xi frowned: "Why is the second brother so reckless, what is it for?"

The old lady wiped her eyes: "The government ordered that gambling is prohibited during the Queen Mother's funeral, your second brother doesn't know, and he was drunk again, and the gambling house drove him away, but he didn't do it, so he fought with someone, and killed him by mistake." The more the old lady spoke, the more aggrieved she became, hugging Yuan Xi and crying.

Yuan Xi glanced at Ling'er, and his heart was inexplicable. I just want to charge him with a brawl and let him eat in prison for a few days, but he is good, and he is really willing to work hard.

Yuan Xi wiped away the old lady's tears and said, "Grandmother, don't cry, granddaughter will go and inquire to see whose soldiers the second brother was captured." ”

At this time, Cheng Yong helped Aunt Yu, and Yuanjie followed Aunt Zheng into the door. The old lady pointed at Cheng Yong and said to Yuan Xi: "Ask your eldest brother to go with you, you are a girl's house, it is inconvenient to go by yourself." ”

Cheng Yong nodded, and followed Yuan Xi out of the house. Yuan Xi twisted the handkerchief in his hand, wandering aimlessly on the street, Cheng Yong was afraid that the old lady would be suspenseful, so he grabbed Yuan Xi: "Third sister, should we go to the Yamen prison first, or go to the Lan people's mansion first?"

"Let's go to the pear tent first. ”

"Pear, pear tent?" Cheng Yong lowered his voice: "Isn't that a brothel?"

"It's a brothel, I asked Liu Tianbao to check it a long time ago, Cheng Zhen fell in love with He Qingqing, the singer of the pear tent, and wanted to redeem her, but the family didn't give her silver, so he kept running to the casino. Yuan Xi looked at Cheng Yong with a straight face: "Big brother, do you know why Cheng Zhen is in a hurry to redeem He Qingqing?"

Cheng Yong shook his head, how could a person with such rules as him know what was going on. Yuan Xi smiled slightly: "That's because He Qingqing is pregnant." ”

Cheng Yong grew his mouth in shock, and Yuan Xi said coldly: "I already knew about this, I thought that Ge Ji was innocent, the child was innocent, and I planned to let him go, but You Shi is really too forceful, since this is the case, then I can't control so much." ”

Only then did Cheng Yong understand that it was no wonder that Cheng Zhen would make a mistake, it turned out that Yuan Xi made a move. Cheng Yong's eyes drooped slightly: "Then, what should we do now?"

"I have already asked Liu Tianbao to go to the pear tent building, He Qingqing can't pick up customers, so I prefer her to pick up customers. Yuan Xi's eyes were ruthless: "If something happens to Cheng Zhen, will the old bustard still have hope for him?" Since no one has redeemed He Qingqing, she has only one way to pick up customers. ”

"Third sister, this is not good, it is too ruthless, no matter what, that child is innocent. Cheng Yong shook his head.

Yuan Xiwaner: "Big brother, I'm just scaring and scaring her, Liu Tianbao knows it." What I want is for He Qingqing to come to our door in person and tell Cheng Zhen about the relationship between Cheng Zhen and her. ”

Cheng Yong gradually smiled: "You said that You Shi was happy to see her unborn grandson, or was he angry?"
