Early the next morning, Du did not forget to be alone, so he came to visit the prefect Liu Chong again.

When Du did not forget to ask Liu Chong's brother Liu Yuanwai, Liu Chong showed great admiration for his brother, and said:

"My brother is the same as me, born poor, but since he was a child, he has been able to bear hardships and stand hard work, relying on his own efforts, and now he has achieved one of the top ten richest businessmen in Guangzhou in this Guangzhou Prefecture!"

Du did not forget to smile and repeated:

"Yes, after all, your brother has these riches that are not easy to come by!"

Then he asked:

"I don't even know what kind of business your brother Liu Yuanwai does?"

Liu Chong replied:

"It was originally engaged in the trading of Nanyang spices, but in recent years, it has also started to operate gambling houses, courtyards, restaurants and other businesses in various parts of our Guangzhou Prefecture!"

Du Bu Bu smiled again and said:

"It seems that my lord, your eldest brother Liu Yuanwai should also be entrusted to your brother to be the prefect of Guangzhou!"

刘冲 says:

"I'm a local parent official in Guangzhou, and I will naturally take care of my brother if there is a place that can take care of me, but my brother is also quite law-abiding, although he is doing these tricks, gambling houses, restaurants, and other difficult businesses, but it will never cause trouble to my brother as a prefect!"

Du did not forget and said:

"Yes, it seems that your brother is really good at managing and managing the relationship between all parties!"

Liu Chong smiled and said:

"It's alright!"

Then he looked at Du and asked:

"Why is Du Tanhua so curious about my brother's affairs today?"

Du did not forget and said:

"Actually, I'm here today for your brother's business!"

When Liu Chong heard this, he hurriedly asked:

"Du Tanhua, tell me quickly, has something happened to my brother?"

Du did not forget to reply:

"It's not like there's an accident, but your brother is doing something earth-shattering right now!"

Then he told Liu Chong about the big smoke between Liu Yuanwai and Jin Mao Phil and Liu Yuanwai's promise that Jin Mao Phil would come to harm him and his friends Xian'er and White Lotus who were imprisoned.

When Liu Chong heard this, he got up directly and said to Du Yi:

"Du Tanhua, I have to hurry up and persuade my brother now, I won't accompany him, and we will discuss it in the future if there is something!"

After saying that, he hurriedly went out.

Du did not forget to wait for Liu Chong to leave, and then went out of the yamen, and Feng Niang was already waiting for him outside the yamen.

After Feng Niang saw Du Bu Bu come out, she pulled Du Bu Bu aside and said:

"I went to see Sister Xian'er and Sister Ling'er just now, reminded them to pay attention to safety, and also sent a lot of silver to the jailer and the cell manager, I inquired with them, and I heard that before dawn today, Liu Yuanwai sent someone to check them, signaling them that they must not let Xian'er and Ling'er live before dark tomorrow!"

Du did not forget to ask:

"Then after you gave the money, didn't the jailer and the cell steward say that they were tempted to give you the silver?"

Feng Niang says:

"It's not that they don't know the relationship between Liu Yuanwai and the prefect Liu Chong, so they will naturally help Liu Yuanwai, but they also promised me to try to delay until tomorrow night to attack Feng'er and Ling'er. ”

Du did not forget to reply:

"Okay, then I see, it looks like we've been on the run for the past two days!"

Feng Niang asked:

"So what are we going to do now?"

Du did not forget to reply:

"Just in case, I still have to pay a visit to the political envoy now, after all, Liu Chong and Liu Yuanwai are brothers, and they may not be reliable, and this is also about the danger that the people may be poisoned by the smoke, as well as the lives of Xian'er and Ling'er!"

Feng Niang then said:

"Then I'll go with you!"

Du Cheng Cheng said:

"Okay, but you better change into men's clothes, it's more convenient. ”

After Feng Niang returned to the inn and changed into men's clothes, she went to the political envoy's yamen with Du Yixin.

At this time, I inquired and learned that Zhang Huan, the political envoy, and Tao Kai, the governor of Liangguang, were in Pingkou in Zhaoqing Mansion, and it happened that Dai Jing, the imperial historian, was acting as an agent for government affairs in the yamen.

After Du Yi saw Dai Jing, he suddenly remembered that Dai Jing was actually the same Jinshi as himself, so he first asked:

"Master Dai, do you remember that I never forget?"

Dai Jing looked at Du Yi and said:

"Of course I remember, we are students in the same class, I didn't expect Du Tanhua to be heroic after so many years!"

Du did not forget to reply:

"Yes, I don't know if you are the deputy capital of the Imperial History Li Fuxing Master Li?"

Dai Jing replied:

"Du Tanhua, have you been in seclusion for a few years?"

Du did not forget to reply:

"Why did you say that, Lord Dai, but I did just come back from Luzon!"

Dai Jing smiled and said:

"Du Tanhua, you may not know, now Master Li has been promoted to the head of our Metropolitan Procuratorate. ”

Then he asked:

"I've also heard that Luzon is famous for its abundance of gold in the South Seas, but I don't know if it's really full of gold over there?"

Du did not forget to reply:

"That's just a rumor!"

Dai Jing immediately ordered someone to pour a cup of tea for Du Buyi and Feng Niang, and then said:

"I heard that Du Tanhua and Zhang Ge Lao and our Master Li are all good, right?"

Du Cheng said:

"It's just an old acquaintance!"

Dai Jing smiled and said:

"Du Tanhua shouldn't know, right? Zhang Ge Lao resigned from the cabinet last year and returned to his hometown in Jiangsu and Zhejiang!"

Du did not forget to reply:

"I already knew that Zhang Ge was always ill, and His Majesty was sympathetic to his old man, so he allowed Zhang Ge to resign!"

After the two of them talked about the affairs of the DPRK and China, Dai Jing asked:

"Du Tanhua came to find the political envoy, there must be something important, right?"

Du Bu says:

"Since Lord Dai asked, then I'll just say it, I have something important to come to the political envoy at this time, but Dai Yushi is here, and it's the same as you!"

So he told Dai Jing about the big smoke and the white lotus.

Dai Jing was also shocked after hearing this, and hurriedly said:

"I didn't expect this Liu Yuanwai to be so bold and dare to collude with Francois to steal and sell big cigarettes, if this crime is true, it is guilty of the crime of the nine clans, I am afraid that the prefect Liu Chong will also be implicated by it. ”

Du Bu sighed and said:

"Yes, I came here because I was worried!"

Dai Jing then said:

"Liu Chong is also diligent as an official, this time I will inform it, as long as he interrogates Liu Yuanwai and the Franco businessman, I can go to the court to intercede for him, and I will be exempted from the responsibility of Zhulian!"

Then he immediately said:

"But this matter, I need to find out the evidence of Liu Yuanwai's illegal sale of cigarettes before I can cure it!"

Du Cheng said:

"Then I'll go find evidence now!"

Dai Jing got up and said:

"Then Du Tanhua, you go slowly, and I will immediately report to the imperial court about the occurrence of smoke in Guangdong. ”

After Du did not forget to take Feng Niang out of the yamen of the political envoy, he went to the gambling house run by Liu Yuanwai.

Halfway through, Feng Niang asked:

"You told Liu Chong in advance, aren't you afraid that Liu Chong will find his brother and let his brother Liu Yuanwai know the news that after the news of his theft and sale of big cigarettes is leaked, will he hide those big cigarettes immediately?"

Don't forget to reply

"It shouldn't be so fast, so I quickly took you to the gambling house to take a look first!"

Because the two of them saw Liu Yuanwai yesterday and ordered someone to carry the big smoke into this gambling house, they wanted to enter this gambling house to find out where the big smoke was.

So after the two of them entered Liu's gambling house, they both found that the business of this Liu Yuanwai gambling house was really good

Almost every table is filled with a group of gamblers.

Du did not forget that it was not easy for people to suspect that the two of them were here to check on the big smoke, so he asked Feng Niang to take out some silver from her body and gamble on one of the tables.

Since Du Bucheng and Feng Niang had never entered the gambling house before, they naturally didn't know how to bet.

The dealer with a black face around saw that Du did not forget to open a few plates with a large ingot of silver, but he did not place a bet, so he asked:

"Brother, whether you play or not, don't occupy a position if you don't play!"

Du did not forget and replied:

"Play, but I don't know how to bet!"

At this time, a man in green clothes on the side said to Du Yiyi:

"It's not simple, do you see the big and small characters on both sides of this table?"

Du Bu didn't forget to nod and said:

"See!"

The man in Tsing Yi explained:

"This big is that after you press it, the three dice in the teacup are rolled to show that more than nine points are big, and vice versa is small!"

Then he pointed to the word leopard in the middle of the big and the small and said:

"The leopard is the three dice in the teacup, and the roll is the same, that is the leopard, and the leopard is paid according to the number of points drawn, but the leopard is generally difficult to come out!"

Du Bu did not forget to nod and said:

"I see, thank you big brother!"

Then directly put a silver ingot on the middle of the leopard word, I didn't expect this game to be three six big leopards, at this time Du did not forget a person bet on the leopard, the black-faced man dealer also with an incredible expression let people pay the silver to Du do not forget.

At this time, the man in Tsing Yi on the side gave Du Yixin a thumbs up and said:

"Childe, it's really good luck!"

Du did not forget to smile and said:

"What a coincidence!"

Then he bet all the money he had just won on the leopard.

At this time, the man in Tsing Yi asked Du Yiyi:

"Childe is really bold, I don't know what you call Childe?"

Du did not forget to point to Feng Niang behind him, and said:

"My name is Du Shilang, I'm here to do business, yes, he's my scholar, I don't know what you call my brother?"

Tsing Yi Man says:

"My name is Chen She, I take care of a bun shop nearby, I have nothing to do today, so I came here to have a fun!"

Du did not forget to smile and said:

"Childe's name is actually the same as the name of a great hero more than a thousand years ago!"

Chen Shi replied:

"Aren't you talking about Chen Sheng, I know, my name is my father who gave me this name after seeing Taishi Gong's Chen Shi family, I hope I am the same as Chen She, but unfortunately I didn't fight for this name!"

Du did not forget to smile and said:

"The times create heroes, unless the world is in turmoil, there will be a big hero like Chen Sheng, we are deep in this stable era, let's enjoy it!"

Chen Shi replied:

"Also, listening to Du Gongzi's words really made me Chen Shimao suddenly open!"

Du Buyi smiled again and said:

"Chen Gongzi is really complimented!"

Then he asked:

"Why didn't Chen Gongzi place a bet?"

Chen Shi smiled bitterly and said:

"I've lost all the money I brought today, and I still owe a lot of debt, and I don't know how to live tomorrow!"

At this time, the dice opened again, and there were three sixes in it, and even the black-faced man sitting in the village was stunned, and the gamblers next to him also looked at Du Cheng in shock.

At this time, Du did not forget to smile, let Feng Niang accept the silver she won, and said to the gamblers:

"Let everyone laugh and laugh!"

At this time, Chen Shi looked at Du Forgetful, and the game was embarrassed and said:

"Du Gongzi, we met for the first time, and it can be regarded as fate, can you do me a favor?"

Du did not forget to smile, motioned to Feng Niang to take the ingot and handed it to Chen She, and said:

"Is a silver ingot enough?"

Chen Shi replied:

"Enough, enough!"

Then he took the money and ran out.

Feng Niang said to Du Yiyi:

"You are also really generous, you just met someone, and you gave such a big ingot of silver to others after saying a few words!"

Du did not forget to reply:

"Anyway, it's okay, it's okay to give it to make a friend!"
