The fourth brother seemed to have been trained by Manager Li to become a little eunuch, just like he was in front of his godfather, a big eunuch. The difference is that the fourth brother is still a complete man, but he can only wait for the next life.
Under the candlelight, the contents of the cabinet were clearly visible.
Zhao Rang had only seen this volume in three places.
One is in his own home, and the other is Ye Sanniang's bedroom.
The third one is here.
The cabinets that stand above the ground are all filled with dossiers, and there are instructions and labels on the spines.
Manager Li was mumbling something. After searching among the files for a long time, his fingertips finally stopped on one of them.
After pulling it out, Zhao Rang discovered that the file was more than three inches thick, about the same as a wall brick!
The big "Zhao" character on the cover is red and extremely bright, and no one can ignore it.
"Do you know what this is?"
Manager Li asked.
Zhao Rang shook his head blankly.
He's not acting, he really doesn't know.
Although the word "find" already explained the relationship between Zhao Rang and this dossier, he still couldn't figure out what it was.
An old eunuch who fled the previous dynasty, a dossier with the word "Zhao" written in blood on the cover, and an eldest son of the Zhao family in the north of Dawei. What is the connection between these three?
Seeing Zhao Rang shaking his head, Manager Li smiled with emotion. He didn't pretend to be mysterious, but was really feeling emotional.
No matter how many ups and downs we go through in this life, it can't change people's nostalgia for the past.
His smile made not only Zhao Rang but also everyone in the room very interested!
In addition to asking for concessions, the other three people, including the old man who should be the old gentleman, are all regular customers of Mr. Li's place. They drank tea, chatted, and played hide and seek every day, and they seemed to be very familiar with each other.
Needless to say, Fourth Brother, he is responsible for everything managed by Manager Li and the outside business. But he didn't know anything about the contents of the cabinet.
The illiterate fourth brother just thought it was full of books, and then followed Manager Li's instructions to clean the cover every three days.
This was the first time that Mr. Li took out something from the cabinet. The old man was sitting at the far side with his neck stretched the longest.
"When the emperor escaped, the officials and generals were forced to die and surrendered. In fact, the calmest ones were us eunuchs! Hahaha...!"
Manager Li suddenly pulled back the time to the war-torn years when dynasties changed.
Unfortunately, those years were too far away for Zhao Rang, so far away that his grandfather was still a young man at the time, so Zhao Rang did not resonate with it.
Manager Li didn't need anyone else to say anything. After being immersed in his own thoughts for a moment, he held the file with both hands and said:
"They are all here to grab gold and silver. Some even took apart the calligraphy and paintings and stuffed them into their pants. They must have stretched their buttocks several times, making them unable to walk steadily!"
Manager Li laughed again as he spoke, and quickly raised his hand with orchid fingers to cover his mouth.
"But that's all I took away. Now it seems that I was right! They are all dead, and the ones who are alive are not as good as me, haha!"
Manager Li was extremely proud of the contents of his cabinet.
It seems to prove all his current value.
But after talking all this time, he still didn't tell Zhao Rang what the file was.
"So what exactly is this?"
Zhao Rang couldn't bear it anymore and asked directly.
Manager Li was not unhappy because Zhao Rang interrupted his memories, but his eyes shone brighter:
"Here is something that can make your entire Zhao family beheaded a hundred times!"
Of course Zhao Rang didn't believe that the things inside could be so powerful.
What night is this?
Dawei was split in half and divided and conquered, not to mention the things from the previous dynasty that he, a eunuch from the previous dynasty, had brought back.
"Look, is this name familiar?"
Manager Li opened the file, pulled out a piece of letterhead with ease, and handed it to Zhao Rang.
He covered the contents of the letterhead with his hand, revealing the signature.
This name Zhao Rangzai is familiar with.
It's the grandfather he has never met!
When Manager Li saw Zhao Rang's expression change, he smiled and let go, revealing the contents of the letter.
It turned out that this was a letter of allegiance he wrote to the previous court when he was the adjutant of the Weizi Camp of the Dawei Rebel Army.
At that time, the weather was changeable and the war was unfavorable. The previous government made great efforts to conquer most of the territory of the rebel army. The entire rebel army was panicked. As the adjutant of the elite "Wei Ziying" of the rebel army, his grandfather was unable to do anything. Finally, for the sake of the uncertain future, I wrote this letter.
Who would have thought that in the spring of the next year, when the ice and snow melted, the rebel army would sweep the world and take over the whole world!
But as a result, this letter changed from a life-saving talisman in the middle of last winter to a life-saving talisman today.
There are many people who have done the same thing as Grandpa Zhao Rang, so they formed a secret alliance, aiming to recover these things that could be copied by everyone now.
"Young man, I didn't scare you, did I?"
After reading it, Zhao Rang returned the signed letter to Manager Li and said:
"It's true that I didn't expect it. But it doesn't matter now!"
Manager Li looked at Zhao Rang in surprise.
According to his guess, Zhao Rang should have looked defeated and lost his mind! But he was still so calm, so he had to look a little higher.
"Your grandfather and I don't know each other. But I heard that he joined the rebel army in the name of a martial arts family and later became a strong soldier. Although there is a small mistake, it doesn't hurt. Now that you look like this, I know that what I heard is correct. !”
Satisfied, General Manager Li put the letter signature back into the file, asked the fourth brother to put it back in its original position, and covered it with the cover again.
Zhao Rang looked at him puzzled.
If this thing was a threat just now, Manager Li's behavior at this moment showed no threat at all.
But Manager Li had no intention of explaining. He picked up the teapot again, poured a cup of tea for the old man on the side, and said:
"This young man from the Zhao family is here to see you."
The old man did not drink tea, and did not even look at Zhao Rang. Instead, he said to Manager Li:
"I haven't had enough fun today!"
Manager Li turned to look at Zhao Rang, waiting for his intention.
Zhao Rang said generously:
"Then I'll play with the old gentleman."
When Zhang San, who had been standing behind him, heard this, he put the silver he had just packed in front of Zhao Rang.
What the old gentleman wanted to play was, of course, the hidden hook.
The banker is naturally Manager Li.
Manager Li moved back, opened the drawer in front of him, and took out a jade hook made of jasper.
The jade hook is very sharp and has no gentle feeling at all.
Manager Li held the jade hook between his two fat palms, then bulged it into a cage, shook it for a moment, and suddenly stretched it out in front of the two people.
The fourth brother handed Zhao Rang and the old man a pen and paper respectively and asked them to write down their guess answers on the paper.
This ensures absolute fairness, because two people may guess the same hand, and they may both guess wrong at the same time!
There is no cleverness in hiding the hook, and it all depends on luck.
Zhao Rang is accustomed to using the knife with his right hand, so he is more sensitive to the right one.
But then I thought about it, as long as I'm not left-handed, this happens to everyone. Manager Li might do the opposite and hide the jade hook in his left hand.
Just as he was about to put pen to paper, Zhao Rang felt that what he had just thought was too simple...
What if Manager Li wanted him to think this way, but did not change his intention and still put the jade hook in his right hand?
When he was hesitant, the old man had already written the answer, folded the paper, and placed it in front of Manager Li.
No one can touch this note before the results are opened. It is left in plain sight to eliminate the possibility of cheating.
Seeing that the old gentleman had thought it through, Zhao Rang no longer struggled, quickly wrote his answer, and folded it in front of Manager Li.
"Is everything okay?"
The two nodded.
The dealer is supposed to ask three times.
The first two times are for confirmation, the third time is for raising, and finally a lucky word is used to open the result.
But Manager Li only asked once.
When he spread his hands, Zhao Rang's expression suddenly dimmed.
The jade hook is in the center of Manager Li's left hand.
Zhao Rang wrote "right" on the paper!
But the note hadn't been opened yet. Although he didn't guess correctly, he didn't lose either.
The fourth brother opened Zhao Rang's answer first, and then opened the old gentleman's answer.
Zhao Rang breathed a sigh of relief. This time they were tied, and the old man also wrote the word "right" on the paper.
"Gou Zuo, the dealer kills all!"
Zhao Rang lost a piece of money in front of him.
The old gentleman calmly spit out two words from his mouth:
"Accounting!"
Gambling houses have never kept accounts.
You can borrow money and use things as collateral, but you can never owe money. Even if you may not be able to repay the money you borrowed, and the mortgaged items will never be redeemed, you cannot owe money!
Zhao Rang thought Manager Li would refuse, but he nodded and said:
"Xiaosi, keep accounts!"
The fourth brother quickly took out a ledger from his pocket and started jotting it down.
Zhao Rang was curious about how an illiterate person could keep accounts. Manager Li explained:
"For an illiterate person, keeping accounts is the most reassuring thing. Because he doesn't know how to cheat!"
Zhao Rang tasted this sentence and felt that it seemed to be referring to something, but for a while he couldn't understand it thoroughly.
At the same time, Fourth Brother has put new paper in front of him and Mr. I, and Manager Li has also changed a jade hook.
This time the jade hook is white, as white as snow.
The front end of the jade hook is not as sharp as before, but has a somewhat gentle feeling.
After showing the jade hook and confirming that it was correct, Manager Li began to repeat the previous actions.
This time he closed his eyes and swayed twice as long as last time.
"Okay, let's write!"
Clench your fists with the backs of your hands facing up. The small jade hook was in my hand, managed by Mr. Li, and there was no trace of it visible from the outside.
With his first experience, Zhao Rang wrote very quickly this time.
As soon as the old gentleman picked up the pen, he had already written the answer, folded the paper, put it on the table and pushed it over.
"Um?"
Manager Li made a sound of confusion. Strong wind
In less than a cup of tea, Zhao Rang became so decisive, which he did not expect. 1
