Chapter 23: Small gambling pleasure 2
The gambling game on the table started again. Just when Bi Yuntao was pondering whether to win or lose next, a strange voice came from not far away, "Hey! Isn't this Meng Ruolang? Why are you playing so little today? Huh?! It’s not like we’ve already lost everything! Tsk, tsk, tsk!”
Meng Ruolang and Bi Yuntao both raised their heads and looked at a young man with a shiny face. Behind him was a pretty little beauty, wearing a maid's dress. At this time, she was standing shyly behind the man with her head lowered. Bi Yuntao saw something in front of his eyes. Liang, isn't this one of the twins?
Meng Ruolang heard the man's ridicule and said sarcastically: "Hey! Who do I think he is? It turns out to be Mr. Zhao who was mocked by the Yao sisters in the brothel a while ago for his silver gun and candle head!"
When everyone heard Meng Ruolang's taunt, they burst into laughter, and the laughter was full of ridicule. Mr. Zhao's face turned red from being laughed at, and he rebuked angrily, "What are you laughing at?! You are a bunch of dogs. When I laugh at you, I will seize you all in the yamen and let you eat in prison for a few days."
When an angry man heard this, he immediately became unhappy and rushed out to yell, "Who the hell are you? This is a gambling house, not a place for you to act wild."
"Ha! You dare to scold me, Xiaolan, give me a slap." As soon as the voice fell, the maid named Xiaolan behind her stepped over and without any hesitation, slapped the man on the face.
The man screamed and hit the wall, "poof"! A mouthful of blood was spat out, and a lumpy object could clearly be seen flying out of the mouth. "Hiss!" Everyone around took a deep breath. Seeing the miserable state of this man, no one stood up and yelled.
Bi Yuntao looked around, and when he saw people from the gambling shop coming to stop him, he couldn't help but shook his head. These people didn't know what was going on. If they dared to talk to the eldest son of Zuo Xiangfu like this, they would not be ordinary people. He glanced again at the maid named Xiaolan who had retreated behind Young Master Zhao. He didn't expect that this little woman knew how to do some kung fu, otherwise her hands wouldn't be so strong.
Meng Ruolang snorted disdainfully. "Hmph! Young Master Zhao is so majestic! The second young master of the Ministry of Punishment can only bully the people like this. Are you not afraid that my father will go to court to take part in one?!"
Everyone took a breath of air again, and they didn't dare to breathe after knowing Mr. Zhao's background. When the people in the gambling shop heard Mr. Zhao's background, they also stopped in their tracks, not knowing whether to stop him.
"Ruolang, who is this?" Bi Yuntao came over at this time and asked aloud, "He is Zhao Mingsheng, the second son of the Shangshu family of the Libu family. The Shangshu of the Libu family has always been against my father in court, and naturally he is also in private. If you don't deal with me, you will compete with me everywhere." Bi Yuntao nodded, he turned out to be the political enemy of the left prime minister.
"Hahaha, isn't this King Qi?! I really didn't expect that since King Qi didn't go to a brothel, he was making money in a gambling house instead? Has he changed his temper?!" Zhao Mingsheng looked disdainful and taunted him directly.
When Bi Yuntao saw that this person knew his identity and did not salute respectfully, he understood clearly that Zhao Mingsheng was coming from an evil person. I just don’t know if it’s for Meng Ruolang or for myself.
"Ha! Now that you know I am the King of Qi, you are still not polite. This is an offense below. Is this how the Minister of Libu taught you?! I just don't know if the Minister of Libu will be so rude when he sees the current emperor?!" Bi Yuntao also counterattacked with a look of disdain.
"You!" Zhao Mingsheng was furious.
"What? Do you want me to report today's incident to my father and let him give us a review?! Ruolang and I are here to make money and have fun. Firstly, we didn't provoke you, and secondly, we didn't speak rudely to you. You are like a mad dog. You seem to bite people as soon as you meet them, you are really a veritable dog slave!" Bi Yuntao's eyes were full of coldness. Since they are the political enemies of my father-in-law, it is impossible to coexist peacefully.
"I didn't expect that King Qi would be so sharp-tongued. It seems that the rumors are wrong!" At this time, another man came from the door, holding a oscillating fan and fanning it gently back and forth.
Bi Yuntao stared at the man who walked in, narrowed his eyes, and asked, "Who are you?"
"I am Ji Wuli, the eldest son of the Minister of Rites. I have met the King of Qi. This younger brother of mine is really too rude. I will apologize to you as a younger brother." He said, closing his folding fan and saluting, "Mingsheng, it's you who are too rude." Li, come here to see King Qi, and quickly apologize to King Qi!"
"Hmph!" Zhao Mingsheng snorted disdainfully, with no intention of apologizing. "Mingsheng!" Ji Wuli glared at Zhao Mingsheng with disdain and scolded: "Don't be rude!"
Zhao Mingsheng was a little angry when he saw Brother Ji, so he had to suppress his emotions, lowered his head and apologized to Bi Yuntao.
"I've met King Qi! Mingsheng is too rude, please forgive me King Qi." Seeing Zhao Mingsheng reluctantly lowered his head and casually bowed his hands in salute, Bi Yuntao snorted: "Humph! That's the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. This teaches you how to apologize in court?! Do you want me to go to Shangshu Mansion and ask your father personally?"
"King Qi! Don't bully me too much!" When Zhao Mingsheng heard this, he immediately became angry and said, "Mingsheng! Why are you talking to King Qi?!" When Ji Wuli saw this, he cried out that something was wrong and quickly scolded and stopped Zhao Mingsheng.
Zhao Mingsheng was really angry when he saw Brother Ji. He knew that he could not ruin what the other person had told him because of his quarrel, otherwise the person behind him would know about it and he would have to skin him even if he died.
Suppressing the anger in his heart, he bowed respectfully and apologized: "It's Ming Sheng who made the mistake and didn't understand the rules. Please punish me, King Qi."
"King Qi, Mingsheng has been spoiled too. Since Mingsheng also apologized, you have a lot of money, why don't you just let it go?!" Seeing this, Ji Wuli quickly bowed and begged for mercy.
"Forget it then. It's really boring. We're obviously here to gamble, but who knew someone would come here to cause trouble? Ruolang, go back." With that, he was about to lead Meng Ruolang back.
"Prince Qi, please wait a moment. Since you and Mr. Meng are here to have fun together, and Mingsheng and I are also itchy, why don't we open a private room together and play a few games?"
Bi Yuntao stopped and turned back to look at Ji Wuli and the others. Meng Ruolang seemed a little hesitant when he saw his elder brother. He pulled Bi Yuntao's sleeve and reminded him in a low voice, "Brother, please don't be fooled! They must have some kind of trap."
"It doesn't matter. If you don't agree today, there will be other conspiracies and tricks in the future. It's better to see what their purpose is now and make plans for the future." Bi Yuntao also whispered to Meng Ruolang.
"Brother, are you a little stubborn now? They will definitely do something," Meng Ruolang had some worry on his face at this time, fearing that his stubbornness would show up if he kept trying to dissuade him. If he loses his pants, it will be a big joke for the royal family.
"Don't worry, trust me, brother. When they enter the private room, brother will preemptively ask them to play dice. As long as they play dice, brother can almost win. No matter how powerful they are, they can only do some tricks in the dice. Brother is still eager for them to use them. As for the dice in question, if the dice are not tampered with, I really may not agree." Bi Yuntao whispered, feeling the confidence in Bi Yuntao's words, which made Meng Ruolang feel at ease, nodded, and did not Then he tried to dissuade him, "Then the elder brother must be careful. I will realize that it is not good and interrupt the elder brother's interest. I hope that the elder brother will not blame the younger brother."
Looking at Meng Ruolang's still worried expression, he had no choice but to agree. "Okay! If something happens, I'll listen to you." Then he raised his head and smiled at the two of them, "Hehehe, okay, since you also have this leisure time, let's play a few games."
When Zhao Mingsheng saw Bi Yuntao and the two of them, they murmured for a while. He was originally full of anxiety and hesitation, but when he saw Bi Yuntao taking the bait, he felt happy and no longer hesitated, and said quickly: "I will go up and tell the people in the gambling house to prepare for King Qi and Brother Ji." Elegant room."
