Chapter 154 Gambling Stone Fang
The girl went on to talk about "Yangyuan City".
When he heard that some small power shops were also suppressed by the three major families, Zhang Wen guessed that his uncle must have also been implicated, after all, his uncle is also in business, and it is definitely not easy to mix with outsiders. The girl continued: "The City Lord's Mansion is the legal institution of the city, which holds the power of life and death in the city, and also has close ties with the three major families. 616161616161”
At the mention of the City Lord's Mansion, a trace of resentment flashed in the girl's eyes, but she quickly returned to normal.
From the girl's introduction, Zhang Wen knew that the most popular industry in the city was gambling stones, and then there was the herbal medicine business, and I don't know why the three major families began to suppress these small traders.
After the girl finished speaking, she looked straight at Zhang Wen, Zhang Wen knew that the girl was not looking at her handsomeness, but thinking that she was asking for money, and she was asking for money from herself, Zhang Wen naturally didn't care about these things outside her body, and gave the little girl ten gold coins, which was equivalent to a thousand silver coins.
Seeing Zhang Wen so generous, it was a little unexpected for this girl, the little girl thought: It would be good to see Zhang Wen's portrait and give dozens of silver coins at most, but she gave so many gold coins, took the gold coins handed over by Zhang Wen, smiled and nodded with Zhang Wen, this was the first time she laughed since this meal, and then ran out with a smoke.
Zhang Wen and the three of them just looked at this eater, and they didn't move their mouths at all, and after watching this strange little girl leave in a hurry, they changed another table of food, although it didn't matter if Zhang Wen and the three of them didn't eat or drink, but after all, they came to the restaurant, so they just had a little snack.
After Xiao Er came over, Zhang Wen asked, "Do you know that person just now?"
Xiao Er smiled.
"Yes, she's a regular visitor to our place, and she used to come often!"
Zhang Wen nodded and asked, "Why is she dressed like this?"
Xiao Er saw that Zhang Wen didn't look like a bad person, so he simply talked about this girl's simple life.
"Her name is Hua Xiangyue, she is the baby girl of Hua Yanqing, a wealthy merchant of medicinal herbs, who often comes to us for dinner, Boss Hua is old and has a daughter, and she looks very delicate to this baby daughter, and the little girl is also very sensible, the family is having a good time, everyone is envious, but there are unforeseen circumstances, when the boss of Hua Yanqing purchased medicinal materials again, he passed by the gate of the city, and there were two more boxes out of thin air in the medicinal materials vehicle of Boss Hua during the inspection. The original stone, that is, the stone used for gambling stones, this kind of stone is forbidden to be resold privately in our place, so this flower man was locked up and lived in the prison of the city lord's mansion. ”
"The family panicked after knowing it, Mrs. Hua sent all the family property to the city lord's mansion in order to redeem the flower man, but the city lord's house still refused to let go, and finally Mrs. Hua couldn't afford to get sick, and then finally couldn't stay up and returned to the west, so there was an eleven or twelve-year-old baby girl left, this girl is very sensible and filial, and she wants to redeem the flower man, and sell the family's shops to atone for her father's sins, but the city lord still said that it was not enough, and the flower family had to take out 10,000 gold coins to release people. ”
"But now the Hua family is already a family with four walls, and there is no penni, only a courtyard with no birds. At this time, the original housekeeper of the Hua family gave Hua Xiangyue an idea, asking him to sell the yard, and then use the money to gamble on stones, so that it is possible to make up enough 10,000 gold coins. But gambling stones are gambling after all, and it didn't take long for Hua Xiangyue to be penniless, and in the end, life became difficult and became what it is now. ”
Xiao Er was in a trance, and when he heard the shopkeeper's shout, he hurriedly left.
After listening to Xiao Er's words, Zhang Wen knew that it was not easy for Hua Xiangyue, and at the same time guessed that Hua Xiangyue must have been framed, Zhang Wen and the three of them all cherished it, and wanted to help Hua Xiangyue, so that the father and daughter could be reunited as soon as possible, especially Lin Xin'er, thinking that her father didn't know where she was now, she began to feel sad.
After eating, Zhang Wen and the three of them went to find Hua Xiangyue, although Zhang Wen did not use his divine sense to detect Hua Xiangyue's whereabouts, but listening to Xiao Er, Hua Xiangyue must have gone to the gambling stone workshop, because it was very close, the three of them soon arrived at the door of the gambling stone workshop, although it was now the time to eat at noon, but there were still many people in and out, and the three of them also walked in leisurely with the flow of people.
When I arrived in the hall, it suddenly became noisy, this hall was very large, the exquisite shelves around it were full of stones of different sizes, there were many people who were observing the stones on it, ready to open the stone after choosing, there was a huge stone in the middle of the hall, which was used to open the stone, and the gamblers here could open the stone on the spot, if they opened something, they could take it away or sell it on the spot.
Zhang Wen saw that Hua Xiangyue was picking and selecting around a pile of miscellaneous stones in a corner of the hall, this pile of stones should be some small pieces of bulk material, relatively cheap, although it is a bulk material, it can occasionally bloom something. Zhang Wen guessed Hua Xiangyue's thoughts, after all, this girl only had a dozen gold coins in her hand, looking at Hua Xiangyue's focused selection, Zhang Wen didn't bother in the past, and looked around at these stones.
The prices of these stones vary from a few dozen gold coins to several thousand or tens of thousands of gold coins.
These gambling stones, which are unpredictable in the eyes of mortals, are simply too good in Zhang Wen's eyes, not to mention that Zhang Wen has divine sense exercises, even if Zhang Wenkong touches it, he can know the things in the stone, even Lin Xin'er and Zhang Wen's mother can see it, but they are just silent. All three of them waited to see when Hua Xiangyue would bloom.
At this time, a guy came over to introduce the benefits of gambling stones to Zhang Wen and the others, and some experience in choosing stones. There are many gamblers who look at the two beauties behind Zhang Wen, although Lin Xin'er and Zhang Wen's mother are wearing veils, but they also attract a lot of attention, after all, the two watery skin and bewitching figures can't be covered, and the figure of this sign is a beautiful landscape everywhere.
When Zhang Wen came to half a pillar of incense, two people opened the stone, but they didn't open anything, which caused the surrounding gamblers to sigh for a while! Zhang Wen didn't have time to listen to these boasts, and kept watching Hua Xiangyue choose a stone.
Soon the little girl made a choice, and asked the store, "How much is this rough stone?"
When the man saw that it was this again, he smiled and said, "This one, ten gold coins! It depends on your luck today, whether you starve tonight or not depends on your creation?"
Hua Xiangyue didn't talk nonsense, directly handed over ten gold coins, and said to the guy: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and open the stone, right?"
