Hua Rui came back with a bulging bag of silver. After playing a few games, it was gone again.
She angrily threw down the crappy card she just grabbed, and after reacting, she screamed: "You three liars, if you dare to defraud me of my money, I will wait for you!" Huarui left the table angrily, The three men looked at each other. The one who cheated the two wealthy businessmen won five thousand taels of silver, and the other won eight hundred taels. Although Su Xiaolou did not win the most, he was very happy.
Su Xiaolou deliberately made sure that his winnings were neither too much nor too little, so that he would be the first to win. If this woman lost so much money, she would definitely complain to the Jia family when she went back, and her firepower would definitely be directed at the person who won more money.
Su Xiaolou whistled and exchanged chips at the counter.
Shopkeeper Qian went out and looked at the sky. It was evening now. The sun did not rise in the west, but was about to set in the west. Su Xiaolou, the famous little devil of this generation, could not do anything. He was the first loser tonight. He actually won more than two thousand taels of silver.
Holding the house deed, Su Xiaolou held shopkeeper Qian's hand and said: "Shopkeeper, thank you so much tonight for your hard work in moving the money tree that has never seen spring here. The money is now in my hands. Thank you so much.”
Shopkeeper Qian looked confused, and Monk Erzhang was confused. He didn't know what Su Xiaolou was talking about, so he could only laugh.
Hua Rui, who was passing by, happened to see this scene and stamped her feet angrily. She walked over and pointed at shopkeeper Qian's nose and cursed angrily: "Okay! You guys teamed up to defraud me of my money. You damn old man, don't even think about opening a gambling shop." "
Shopkeeper Qian's face darkened and he said: "Miss Huarui doesn't want to be a slanderer with red lips and white teeth. Our Qingyu Gambling Shop has been in business for many years, and we are all customers. We never do anything that is not popular, and we go to the gambling table." , I’m willing to admit defeat, girl Huarui can’t afford it!”
"You! Do you know who you offended?" Hua Rui's hands shook with anger.
Shopkeeper Qian put his hands behind his back, straightened his back and said: "There is Jia family behind Wei Jianchun, and there is no one behind my Qingyu Casino."
"you……"
Hua Rui was so angry that she wanted to take her anger out on Su Xiaolou. She turned around and saw that there was no one else. Su Xiaolou had already taken the money and left.
At this time, Su Xiaolou was walking in the night market with the money he won, whistling under the moonlight, and bought two bottles of good wine. Seeing you dog biting dog, if you don't leave, are you waiting to get into trouble?
When Su Xiaolou threw the money to Lai Qian, Lai Qian was shocked. He had not seen so much money for a long time. He held Su Xiaolou's hand and persuaded him nicely: "Master, you are the only one in the Su family who is like this." It’s only grown, but you must not do that thing of killing people and stealing goods. Just return it! If it doesn’t work, just..."
Su Xiaolou reassured him that it was money he had obtained through legitimate channels. He was looking at the coffin placed in the courtyard and ordered the money to be hired tomorrow to hire some people to deliver the two thousand three hundred taels in the coffin. Return it to the Shen family.
…
The moon was rising, and the night was getting darker. In an exquisite courtyard on East 14th Street, the sound of banging things could be heard. It was not until the hostess could no longer throw things and sat on the couch that the maids dared to go in and be careful. Clean up the mess in the house.
Jia Shutang walked in, walked around behind the beauty, put his arm around the beauty's waist and coaxed: "My dear, who has no eyesight to make you angry again?"
"Hmph!" Huarui snorted coldly, part coquettish and part angry, and avoided Jia Shutang's mouth.
Jia Shutang took out a finely crafted mahogany box from his arms and opened the box. There was a warm jade bracelet wrapped in the brocade handkerchief. He picked up the jade bracelet and saw not a trace of variegation in the candlelight. The texture was scary. It costs ten thousand taels.
Hua Rui couldn't wait to put the bracelet on her slender wrist. It made her skin look like cream. She was very happy!
"Beauty! This is enough to make up for the money you lost today! Don't be angry!"
Huarui pretended to be aggrieved and sobbed: "The slave family is just a prostitute with a low status. I have no regrets in this life to be liked by you. It's just a matter of being bullied. What makes the slave family angry is that someone didn't put you in the study hall. In the eyes.”
Jia Shutang looked at the beauty in his arms, his eyes were wet with tears, his heart was broken, and he said angrily: "Who? Dare to bully my beauty like this? You don't even take me seriously!"
"It's the shopkeeper of Qingyu Gambling House. He worked with others to cheat the slave family out of their money. Knowing that you are the real boss of Weijianchun, he still said that you were a loser."
"And that... what's his name is Su Xiaolou, he... he..." Hua Rui covered her face and wept. Her tears fell on Jia Shutang's rough hands like broken beads, and she was buried in the arms of the old man next to her with grief and anger. Li choked and said: "He teased me."
"Ah sneeze!"
In the small courtyard, Su Xiaolou, who was playing with the little dog, sneezed. He rubbed his nose carelessly, plucked out some dogtail grass, and poked the dog's dark nose, which made the dog sneeze. A sneeze.
What Su Xiaolou didn't expect was that instead of losing money, what made Hua Rui more angry was that someone actually dismissed her beauty! This is the greatest insult to her.
When Jia Shutang heard this, his beard stood up angrily: "There is indeed someone behind the Qingyu Gambling House. It's not easy to mess with. Who is Su Xiaolou? A rogue who can still live after his brain is cut. If he dares to touch my woman, I won't give it to him." Teach me a lesson, you really think my Jia family is easy to bully!"
Hua Rui felt a burst of joy in her heart, but she still pretended to be pitiful, and said with tears in her eyes: "How do you plan to teach that ungrateful little hooligan a lesson?"
Jia Shutang consoled him: "He is a guard of the Zhenfu Department, serving as a small flag. Originally, he was not even a small flag, but his father had made a meritorious service and died in the line of duty. He received the emperor's favor and his kindness extended to his heirs. I miss him so much." He was young and made Xiaoqi first. He will be promoted sooner or later. Killing him will cause trouble. Why don't you just cut off whichever hand he touches?"
"A sneeze! A sneeze!"
Su Xiaolou sneezed twice more and thought to himself: I feel a little weak recently! I wrapped up my clothes and went back to the house.
Huarui shyly muttered: "But...but he still keeps staring at the slave's...body."
"Then gouge out his eyes again."
"Ah sneeze!"
Su Xiaolou, who was wrapped in quilt on the bed, was thinking about whether he should also go to Li Shizhen's close disciple to grab two sets of medicine.
"Thank you sir!"
…
After comforting the beauty, Jia Shutang walked to the verandah outside the house.
"Jia is not fake"
"Master, what are your orders?" The housekeeper who was waiting outside the house came over.
"Find someone with sharp hands and feet to cut off Su Xiaolou's hand and gouge out both eyes."
"OK."
"Don't let the dogs from the Zhenfu Department smell it and find us."
"Don't worry, old slave!" Jia Bujie's eyes were fierce. He had dealt with more than a dozen names. This Su Xiaolou was really lucky. There happened to be a suitable person recently. His knife was so fast that he couldn't feel it. pain.
Jia Shutang returned to Jia Mansion and was about to go to bed when he happened to meet his son Jia Zhengjing and asked, "How was the account check today?"
"My son has been feeling unwell recently. He went to see a doctor and was recuperating at home, so he neglected the accounting."
"Well! Your health is important, go to bed early!"
"yes."
Jia Shutang frowned and said, "Why does your mouth smell weird?"
"ah?"
The next evening when Su Xiaolou came back from the office, Lai Qian came up to him with a smile on his face and said: "Master, I have carried the coffin to the Shen family as you ordered. I said that if the Shen family does not break off the engagement, they will carry the coffin and parade it through the streets. Tell everyone that the Shen family will come back even after sending out a memorial ceremony, but you didn’t see the Shen family master’s face turning green and white, and he broke off the engagement on the spot.”
Su Xiaolou sneered, the show had just begun.
Late at night, Jia Bu masked himself and was led by an underground gangster to a remote alley, but he did not see the killer he was looking for.
"Where are the people?"
"Sir, look up."
Above the eaves, under the moonlight, I saw a man holding a long knife, wearing a black cloak, and his clothes were flying.
The man shouted to the man: "Strong man, come down! Stop being cool. We are assassins, not knights. We can easily be caught up there."
The killer looked back, a hint of coldness flashed in the corner of his eyes, tapped his toes, as fast as an afterimage, and immediately turned over and landed in front of them.
The guy introduced: "Sir, this is the killer Kawada Ichiro, who is ranked 32nd on the killer list."
Kawada Ichiro waved his robe, turned around, took off his cape and broad hat, and leaned slightly towards Jia Bujia to show respect.
"Do you understand the official dialect?"
"A sssssssss."
Jia Bujia threw out a heavy bag of silver and said: "This is the deposit, and there will be a lot of money to thank you after the deal is done." After that, he threw Su Xiaolou's portrait to Kawada Ichiro.
Ichiro Kawada put the silver and the portrait into his arms, and the samurai sword in his hand glowed coldly under the moonlight: "To kill or to be injured but not to die?"
Jia Bujia said coldly: "Put out his eyes and cut off an arm."
A cold voice said: "Understood."
After saying this, he waved his robe and Kawada Ichiro disappeared into the alley.
Jia Bujia turned to the clerk with a confused look on his face and said, "Is he always so cool? I haven't told him when to do it? Where to do it? How much is the final payment?"
"This...efficiency...this is efficiency."
"What if the assassination fails?"
The clerk looked proud: "Don't worry, sir. Mr. Kawada Ichiro has been here for two years and has challenged more than a hundred killers on the killer list without losing a single one."
"Did co-authoring perfectly avoid the top thirty-two masters on the killer list?"
The guy hesitated and said: "This..."
…
The night faded and the eastern sky began to whiten.
Su Xiaolou, who was drooling while sleeping, felt his brain hurt from the noise outside the door. He rushed out of bed with his bare feet and underpants on, opened the door and saw that the yard was very lively.
The four or five workers who were summoned with the money to repair the house were carrying tools and materials and had already started work. There were various things scattered in the yard.
Lai Qian directed them in the yard to find out where repairs were needed, and Yu Sheng also diligently went to see where they needed help.
Su Xiaolou wandered all the way to the Jinyiwei Town Office. After counting the number of people, he left with the losers.
The fat man came over and touched his stomach and said feebly: "Boss, I'm hungry!"
Su Xiaolou casually picked up the broom that someone had thrown in the corner and handed it to the fat man.
The fat man looked resentful: "Boss, my stomach is empty and my head is dizzy. Are you going to ask me to sweep the floor?"
"Let you overcome hunger and be yourself."
"Boss, you really know how to joke..."
Seeing that Su Xiaolou was very happy today, Xiong Er asked, "Boss, are you going to get promoted and make a fortune recently?"
"I didn't get promoted. I made a small fortune."
Su Xiaolou then said boldly: "Let's go, I will be the host today, and I will not return until I get drunk from Zuixianju."
The scholar hesitated and asked: "Boss, is this fierce? Are you going to drink so early in the morning?"
"Then let's have some breakfast first, shall we?"
"good!"
A few wandering people came to the East Market. Young children were playing and cheering on the street, and smoke was rising from the tea shed vendors.
Several people sat around the dead wood table, but the cicadas in summer were not lazy, they screamed as if they were afraid that others would not know.
The shop owner, a woman in her late forties, cut fist-sized red oil salted duck eggs on the stone table and served them to the table. The yolk was oily and sandy, and the egg white was slightly salty. It was paired with fresh and refreshing lotus leaf porridge, which was medium salty. The harmony is just right.
Several people chatted.
"Boss, how did you get rich yesterday? Teach us."
Su Xiaolou finished eating the egg yolk and put the whole egg white into the porridge: "You guys can't learn. I won the money from gambling."
"How much did you win?"
"Almost more than a thousand taels. After paying off the gambling debt, there are still 350 taels left."
"More than a thousand..." The blind man stared with his only remaining eye.
"Boss, I've decided. I'm going to throw myself on Yue Qingyan's roof to gain the power of the goddess."
"You can do whatever you want. If you accidentally gain the power of the God of Death, I won't collect your corpse for you."
Su Xiaolou knew very well that he could win money because he only picked people who didn't understand the casino to play. His meager tricks would cause him to lose miserably in front of experts. He felt it last time on the first floor. Chang Zaihe How can you walk without getting your shoes wet?
You can no longer gamble, you have to figure out a safe way to make money.
