Chapter VII
Tang Fengshun asked: "Seeing that the young master's luck has turned stronger, why did he stop gambling?
Chouliang sighed: "Tang Gongzi smiled, but today's gambling is not enough, although his luck is prosperous, he is helpless." ”
Tang Fengshun smiled slightly: "What's so difficult about this, my brother brought a few more taels of silver today, so I borrowed it from Young Master Liang to turn it over, and I don't want interest, just pay me back the capital." ”
When Chou Liang heard this, although he didn't know who he was, he was willing to lend him money, so why not, so he returned to the gambling table and gambled in the dark. In this way, he gambled from sunset to midnight, but Chou Liang lost more and won less, and he was still waiting to bet, but was stopped by Tang Fengshun: "Young Master Liang, your luck is quite bad today, so you might as well take it here! Let's go to the Zunfu together, take the principal I paid today, and come back another day!"
Chouliang was stunned for a moment and said: "That's nature, that's nature, you can't make Tang Gongzi suffer." ”
The little guy who followed Tang Fengshun took out the account book and said, "Every time Young Master Liang takes a sum of silver, I will record a sum here, and Young Master Liang has also pressed his handprint on each stroke." The total is two thousand one hundred and two whole, and the good young master can see it. ”
Chouliang heard the words "two thousand one hundred taels", his heart was suddenly shocked, just now he only cared about betting, and the money he spent was not his own silver, according to a handprint, the person next to him directly took out the silver, naturally like flowing water, where did he know that he had lost so much.
Tang Feng said casually: "It's noisy here, why don't we go to the teahouse opposite." Chouliang saw that there were four or five people on the other side, and he was at a loss, so he dared to say a word, so he went to the teahouse.
Tang Fengshun took a sip of tea and asked unhurriedly, "Where does Young Master Liang live now?" ”
Chouliang peeked at a few strong men behind Tang Fengshun, leaned over and smiled: "Tang Gongzi, the little brother has been very tight recently, can you give a few days?"
"Young Master Liang, my silver is here to buy tea, and now it has been taken by you, if my master is to blame, I can't afford it. If Young Master Liang can't get the money, although he can give him a few days, he has to leave an object, right?"
Chouliang hurriedly said: "What Childe said is true!" He touched his whole body, but he didn't touch anything valuable.
Tang Fengshun leaned back on the chair, judging the same as when he was in the gambling house just now, and said coldly: "Two fingers, one day of grace, I can't take it out today, leave two first." You've got ten fingers and ten toes, so that's enough time, right?"
When Chou Liang heard this, he was shocked, and then he knew that this group of people were all dead, although he was a scoundrel in the market, but he only dared to sprinkle with the old and weak, seeing such outlaws, he was so frightened that he trembled, and he couldn't speak, so he only kowtowed to Tang Fengshun like pounding garlic.
Tang Fengshun sighed: "Okay, if you help me send something to Qilang Lane in Beishi, this silver will be written off." ”
Chouliang thought about it a lot, and agreed when he was busy.
Tang Fengshun and his entourage took Chouliang to Qilang Lane, pointed him out the house, and asked him to send it over by himself, only saying that it was sent by Master Xiu, and he didn't know anything else.
Chouliang beat his spirit and sent the things in, and then, Tang Feng tore up the account book by the way. But he didn't let Chou Liang go, Chou Liang trembled and waited until the evening of the second day to let him go back, but when he left, he told him that what he sent was the "Five Wolves Playing with Ox" stolen from the palace, and he dared to mention it to anyone, and he would definitely be in danger of losing his life.
That ugly Liang was originally a homeless person, and the ancestral old house had already been lost by him. A while ago, when I had a little more money, I took a woman and lived there every day. Finally, he was let go, and went straight to the woman's house.
Seeing that the three-day period is approaching, hundreds of thousands of households in the inner and outer cities are tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack. Jiang Xinting and Yan Ji were anxious to hang themselves, Yan Sheng said: "The painting was lost when the little nephew was on duty, and it won't be found tomorrow. ”
Although Jiang Xinting blamed him in his heart for being too childish in his words, how could the emperor just deal with him as a counselor? But at this time, he didn't care about it and didn't talk to him. Yan Ji could only complain a few words: "Nonsense!"
Jiang Xinting saw their father and son, and thought silently in his heart: "Yan Ji has been in charge of the Tiger Ben Army for eight years, and he can only stomp his feet when he encounters trouble, and every time he discusses it with him, he can't come up with any ideas. Although Yan Sheng is brave and intelligent, he is too young after all, and with time, he can still show his strengths, but now he is finally a little immature. ”
Thinking of Yan Sheng, Jiang Xinting couldn't help but think of his son Jiang Anlin, who had high hopes for him since he was a child, and taught him carefully, although he was not infected with the bad habits of cockfighting and lackeys of other family members, but because of his stupid mind, he is still not good at literature and martial arts, and he just eats and drinks with the same class of gentlemen every day. In the future, I don't know who will give up the position of the commander of the dragoons. The more Jiang Xinting thought about it, the more sad he became, and among his disciples, there was not a single one who was outstanding, and there was no successor! Over the years, he had always relied on the Holy Grace Youlong, and he had always been used to being domineering, and he did not take the courtiers in his eyes. If he really can't hand over the people and paintings tomorrow, even if the saint is forgiving, I'm afraid that those imperial historians will also be ruthless in his copy.
Jiang Xinting was thinking about it, and the doorman came to report: "Yue Jian Villa Yue Xian asked to see him, saying that there is something that the adults want. ”
Although he had only met once, Jiang Xinting remembered this person at once, and the breath on his body was a little indescribable. At this time, hearing Yue Xian's request to see him, Jiang Xinting was a little surprised, and he felt as if he was saying, "He is finally here." ”
Jiang Xinting did not let Yan Ji's father and son avoid it, Yan Ji's second monk was confused, he didn't know who was coming, he wanted to ask, but Jiang Xinting waved his hand to stop him: "Let's meet this son-in-law, and the rest will be talked about later." Yan Ji said no more.
After greeting each other, Yue Xian went straight to the topic: "The day before yesterday, entrusted by Commander Jiang, Xiaomin finally lived up to the expectations of the commander and discovered the whereabouts of "Five Wolves Playing with Cows". ”
As soon as Yue Xian said this, everyone present was taken aback, and it was hard to believe that something that had not been found by tens of thousands of people could be found by a nobody? But he would never be stupid enough to lie to the mansion of the commander of the Dragoon Army, right?
Yan Ji couldn't help but stand up: "Where is it?"
Jiang Xinting glared at Yan Ji, got up and arched: "Please teach Gongzi Yue!"
Yue Xian said: "The eighth gate in the east of Qilang Lane in Beishi, the painting is there now, as for the person who stole the painting, it is not yet clear." It's better to get the painting back first, and then follow the vine to catch the person who stole the painting. ”
Jiang Xinting said: "What Gongzi Yue said is true?"
"It's true!"
Jiang Xinting didn't care to ask Yue Xian how he inquired: "When this matter is over, I will go to the door to thank my son-in-law." ”
