Chapter 52 An uninvited guest with ulterior motives

In this way, in the entire Lingyun Mountain, only one company is left to take the lead.

Rumors suddenly spread.

Those who have always coveted the lotus flower now have even more excuses.

Originally, it was the three families dividing the lotus, but now, why did he let Zhong Dushan enjoy it alone?

However, this is just a simple discussion, after all, after going through so many things, no one is coming forward to fight for the lotus and fight against the Zhong family.

Until this day, another person came to Lingyun Mountain.

This person's name is Chu Ziliu.

This Chu Ziliu is not a person with strong martial arts, just an ordinary mortal, it is said that he made a windfall in business in the early years, and then he was full of money.

Chu Ziliu, who became rich overnight, suddenly didn't know that the sky was high and the earth was thick, and he lived an indulgent life. He first divorced his hair-tied wife, and then sent his men to find all kinds of young and beautiful women from all over the world to fill his family. It didn't take long for this Chu to stay for himself, and there were many beauties in the family.

Later, Chu Ziliu was old, but he was still romantic, and he continued to take concubines, until one day, after he married a wife, he began to favor him, and then, he drove away all his previous wives and concubines, leaving only the person named Shen Shuiji, that is, the last daughter-in-law.

Then, the people under him began to discuss, what kind of witchcraft might this Shen Shuiji have, deceiving this old man, as for the true face of this Shen Shuiji, few people have seen it, because, on weekdays, this woman always covers her face with a black veil, but it is said that some people have inadvertently seen this woman, saying that she really looks like she is still captivating the country and the city, even if this Shen Shuiji has any witchcraft, but just with such a appearance, it is enough to make Chu Ziliu bow down.

Later, I don't know why, this Chu Ziliu suddenly left the place where he had lived for most of his life, and his family came to this Lingyun Mountain.

According to some people, because this Shen Shuiji once told Lingyun Mountain that there is a 10,000-year-old lotus plant, mortals can live forever if they eat it, so under the instigation of Shen Shuiji, Chu Ziliu, who longs to live forever and enjoy such glory and wealth, moved his heart, and then went up the mountain.

Although he didn't have any martial arts, Chu Ziliu was still full of confidence, because, with his rich financial resources, Lotus must have his share, and he always firmly believed that in this world, there is nothing that money can't buy.

However, he was really too self-righteous.

As soon as he went up the mountain, Chu Ziliu came to the Zhong family with great fanfare. After explaining the intention, he naturally ate the closed-door soup.

So, Chu Ziliu returned home angrily.

Seeing Chu Ziliu coming back angrily, Shen Shuiji was not half surprised.

After Chu Ziliu told Shen Shuiji what had happened, she just laughed softly.

"Concubine Ai, why aren't you surprised, do you already know?" Chu Ziliu asked puzzled.

"Of course, I have heard of this Zhong family before, they regard the lotus flower as more important than life, so naturally they will not sell it to you. Shen Shuiji said coldly.

Chu Ziliu was a little unhappy: "Concubine Ai, at the beginning, you asked me to sell the mansion and come to this deep mountain and old forest, saying that I wanted some immortal lotus, but now how can you have this attitude." ”

"Master, don't be angry, I know that the master felt sorry for me and ran to this mountain, but, sir, you must know that the people on this mountain are not mortals, how can they be moved by money? Therefore, to get the lotus, we can't rely on money. Seeing that Chu Ziliu was a little angry, Shen Shuiji hurriedly walked over and said softly.

"But, concubine, I don't have anything but money?"

Shen Shuiji looked at Chu Ziliu, who was dumbfounded, and then said with a smile: "Master, you forgot, you still have a me, here, you leave everything to me." ”

"Ai concubine, do you have anything you can do?"

"Master, this Zhong family, who has monopolized the lotus flower for so many years, must have been the target of the public for a long time, all the people must hate their family, but there is no one to come forward, so these unwilling people will not be able to unite for a while, but if we mix with it, when the time comes, watch them start to fight, and when the time comes, let's take advantage of the left-handed fisherman." ”

"Concubine, you are so smart. After listening to Shen Shuiji's words, Chu Ziliu said happily.

"But, sir, I need your help. ”

"You say, whatever you ask, I can grant you. ”

"We must first gain a firm foothold in Lingyun Mountain, and then we can have enough appeal. Shen Shuiji said.

"Do you have any ideas for concubines?"

"That's right, let's have a big mansion first. Shen Shuiji said thoughtfully.

"This is not a problem, I will order someone to change it for us. Chu Ziliu said with an oath.

"Master, it will take a long time to build a yard, so when will our plan be implemented? ”

"Concubine Ai, what do you say?" Chu Ziliu had no idea.

"Master, why do we have to do it ourselves, why don't we buy a ready-made one?" Shen Shuiji said slyly.

"But all the houses here are inhabited, and who wants to sell them to us?"

"If we don't sell them, can we get rid of them?"

"What, concubine, the people here are all people with strong martial arts, how can we deal with them?"

"No one else can deal with it, but one is more than enough to deal with. Shen Shuiji glanced at the old man and said viciously.

"Who?"

"Zhuang Zhongren. ”

"Concubine Ai, don't be joking, I've also heard of this Zhuang Zhongren, isn't it Zhuang Rusheng's son? The Zhuang family is the second largest family in Lingyun Mountain, how can we deal with it easily?" After listening to Shen Shuiji's words, the old man felt that it was a fantasy.

"Master, for this Zhuang Zhongren, of course we can't be hard-hitting, of course we have to outwit. ”

"How to outwit?"

"Master, I heard that this Zhuang Zhongren is addicted to gambling, but his luck is not good, we might as well take advantage of his weakness, and then let him lose his fortune. ”

"But what should we do?"

"Master, in this way, tomorrow you will send you to open a casino on the mountain, Zhuang Zhongren will definitely come back, and then you will let your subordinates deliberately lose to him, so that he is more and more addicted, I will use this period of time to find a few casino masters from the bottom of the mountain, and then let them gamble with Zhuang Zhongren, when the time comes, Zhuang Zhongren will definitely not be willing to lose, and then he will fall deeper and deeper, when the time comes, we will ask him to bet on the house, it won't be long before this dealer is ours." ”

"Concubine, you are so smart. I'll do it. ”

Seeing Chu Ziliu hurriedly walk out to order his subordinates, Shen Shuiji's mouth showed an evil smile.

So, the next day, there was one more casino on the hill.

Zhuang Zhongren, who is playful by nature, was naturally the first to arrive.

All the gamblers, except for Zhuang Zhongren, were all played by Chu Ziliu's subordinates.

Because of the master's orders, these so-called gamblers tried their best to let Zhuang Zhongren at the beginning, and after a while, Zhuang Zhongren made a lot of money.

This is really the best thing in the world for Zhuang Zhongren, who often loses money in the casino, so in order to satisfy this vanity, Zhuang Zhongren started to play one by one, and those subordinates also tried their best to cooperate.

"Straw bales. Shen Shuiji, who was hiding behind the door, saw all this, and secretly scolded in his heart, he had just found a lot of casino masters from the bottom of the mountain, and he was going to send these people to play in a few days, when Zhuang Zhongren couldn't stop.

When Zhuang Zhongren was playing to the head, the door suddenly opened.

I saw a group of people walk in angrily, and everyone was stunned.

The leader is Zhong Shen.

Since Zhong Shen got married, he temporarily bid farewell to the life of idle clouds and wild cranes, and began to stay at home to help his father deal with things on the mountain. Early this morning, someone reported that there was a casino on the mountain, and Zhong Dushan had always been the most disgusted with gambling, so Zhong Shen took his family to see what was going on.

As a result, as soon as I entered the door, I found that my brother-in-law was sitting inside and playing hotly.

"Big brother," Zhong Shen couldn't help but shout.

Zhuang Zhongren was also a little embarrassed when he saw that it was Zhong Shen, but after all, he was his brother-in-law, so he put on a stinky shelf, his face full of disdain.

"Big brother, you also know that my father is the most disgusted with gambling, and you are still gathering people here to gamble, you say, this is ......"

Before Zhong Shen finished speaking, Zhuang Zhongren put on a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water, and said: "Anyway, you have seen it, then you can do it yourself, if you want to kill it, you can do whatever you want." ”

"Big brother" Zhong Shen is really helpless for such a person.

"Okay, big brother, I won't tell my father about this matter, but you also have to make an example, this casino must be banned, and you can't continue to gamble in the future." Zhong Shen said.

So, the whole thing, under Zhong Shen's secrecy, turned the big thing into a small thing, and the small thing into a small thing.

At night, when he returned home, Zhong Shen looked at Forsythia who was combing her hair and told her about the day.

"Forsythia, I went to investigate a casino today, and as a result, I met your brother. ”

Forsythia didn't speak, and after a pause, continued to comb her hair.

Zhong Shen didn't know what to say, so he just sighed softly.

In the middle of the night, Zhong Shen was suddenly woken up in a dream, and the forsythia who was sleeping next to him was crying in a low voice.

"Forsythia, what's wrong?" Zhong Shen asked.

"It's nothing" Seeing himself wake up Zhong Shen, Forsythia hurriedly said that he was fine.

"Forsythia, I know, although a couple like us don't have much affection, but, after all, we used to be brother and sister, can't you tell me something? ”

Hearing Zhong Shen's words, Forsythia, who had always been arrogant, couldn't hold back any longer, she got into Zhong Shen's arms and cried loudly.

"Okay, Forsythia, I know, you're because of your brother,"

"He's not my brother," Forsythia said as she cried.

"Forsythia, or, let's go see him tomorrow and persuade him well. ”

"I don't want to, he has never liked me, he is worried that I will fight with him for the family property, and now that I am married, he will not see me. ”

"Okay, since that's the case, then don't be sad, it seems that the brother-sister relationship between you is really gone. So, Forsythia, you just don't cry anymore. ”

"I didn't cry for him. I am crying for my parents, they have worked hard all their lives, and the big property of the Zhuang family will be destroyed in the hands of Zhuang Zhongren sooner or later. Forsythia cried even more sadly.

Forsythia's words made Zhong Shen not know what to say, so he had to hug her tightly.

No one thought that Forsythia's words would come true so quickly.
