Summer passes and autumn comes, time flies by and a month has passed in a blink of an eye.
In two and a half months, a lot of things happened in the capital. Missions from various countries left, and many foreigners from outside Nanguan entered the capital. Dozens today, hundreds tomorrow, not many every day, but thousands in total.
Many tourists who come to Four Seasons Villa can always see dark-skinned foreigners wandering around. One villager brings two or three of them, and they don't know what they mean.
The Zhuying Prison was also established. It was built in the back mountain area on the southwest side of Four Seasons Villa. It was very mysterious. Whoever got close would die.
The imperial court of the Great Zhou Dynasty issued a letter of credence and sent it to Yingdao to question him about the plot to assassinate the Goguryeo envoy.
Gradually, few people in Beijing and Shilin talk about the East China Sea and Yingdao. Even when the court is held every day, no one mentions these things in the court. It seems that people have forgotten, forgotten, and selective. Forgotten.
But those who are truly in the inner circle of power know very well that this is just the calm before the storm.
At this time, in the Jucai Square in the capital, a man wearing a Confucian robe and a three-inch rat beard overturned the table and cursed.
People in the gambling house avoided each other and pretended not to see anything.
The owner of the gambling house was named Shu, and his backer was Shu Hua, the son of Shu Yun, a foreign official in the Ministry of Rites of the dynasty.
Shu Hua was also a well-known bully in Beijing at first, and he often bullied men and women. Later, Han You began to crack down hard after he debuted, and Shu Hua stopped and became more and more low-key. .
Just because you are low-key doesn't mean you can't be good at it.
The reason why he was able to do it, but no one dared to say anything when someone made trouble in the gambling house under his name, was because the person making the trouble was better than him, and in front of this person, he could not do it.
"Damn it, in just three days, I lost a total of three hundred and sixty strings."
Pei Qi gasped angrily and roared, "Is this gambling house a scam?"
The steward of the gambling shop hurriedly came up to me with a smile on his face: "Master Pei, it's the same old rules, the same old rules. You go to the backyard to sit for a while and have some refreshments. The money you lost will be returned in full."
"roll!"
Pei Qi kicked the steward away: "I am willing to admit defeat."
The cursing Pei Qi left, and the steward and all the nursing staff of the gambling house burst into laughter.
If you want to say that they hate Pei Qi, that's really annoying. They get angry when they lose money and look like they can't afford to lose.
But if you really can't afford to lose, that's not true. At most, you can curse a few times. Obviously, you can get back all the money you lose, but if you don't want it, you'll lose if you lose.
After Pei Qi left, the steward frowned: "Then Mr. Pei is also confused. Where is the 360 guan, it is a full 630 guan, a full 630 guan."
The nursing homes also began to scratch their heads. Six hundred and thirty guan was not a small amount of money. The gambling shop was opened in Beishi. In one day, even during the holidays, they could make at most dozens of guan.
Jucaifang is not a popular place. On weekdays, the people who come here are all the idlers from the city. To play, the bet is only one hundred and eighty coins. How can there be someone like Pei Qi who can make dozens of coins? Hundreds of silver notes.
Pei Qi dared to speak, but they didn't dare to win.
Who is Mr. Pei? He is a confidant of the Emperor's personal army, the Commander-in-Chief of the Ceremonial Sword Guard. He is a confidant of his confidants. He is a person who can walk around in the capital. Even the high officials in the court must treat him with courtesy.
The nurse couldn't help but said: "Then there is a gambling house in Four Seasons Villa, why do you always go to the city?"
"The rules of Four Seasons Villa are very strict. The commander-in-chief does not allow the people around him or the dealers to gamble in the gambling house in the village, and he is not allowed to look for girls' school books."
"I see, but it's not an option if we continue like this. Or should we inform the master?"
A nurse hesitated and said: "It's been four days in a row, and I'm losing more and more every day. The money Mr. Pei used was the banknote from Four Seasons Villa. I don't know if this money came from a good source. Four Seasons There is a gambling house in the villa,"
"That's right, money is a trivial matter. Don't try to cause trouble. OK, please go to Shu Mansion quickly. After the master comes to court, tell the matter exactly as it is, and ask what the master means."
"Young man, go here."
The nurse ran away, and the gambling house was still filled with smog.
Time passed by, and the sun set. At this time, the door of Zhao's mansion opened wide, and Zhao Tai, the minister of the Zhou Dynasty, stood outside the door with a smile on his face.
The middle door opened wide, and Zhao Tai and the housekeeper Zhao Laosi personally greeted him. Naturally, those who came were respected people, and a banquet was also prepared in the mansion.
Seeing that the time was approaching, a man and a horse appeared under the Tailongfang archway. Zhao Tai's smile became even stronger, and Zhao Laosi also rubbed his hands in excitement.
"First time, first time."
Zhao Laosi quickly looked back to see if the formation of his subordinates was in disorder, and said to Zhao Tai in a low voice: "This is the first time for my uncle to enter the house. He is a 'fierce general' on the battlefield. If you collide with me, you can go elsewhere." You are neglecting my uncle."
"Don't worry, sir, I know what's going on."
When Wang Hai, who was riding a horse, was approaching the Zhao Mansion, he turned over and dismounted. His movements were done in one go, very neatly.
Zhao Laosi quickly stepped forward and took over the reins. Zhao Hai made a slight move: "Thank you, Uncle Zhao."
"Hahahaha." Zhao Laosi burst into laughter like a firecracker, which was very helpful.
"The Yidao Guards executed Young Prisoner Wang Hai and paid homage to Mr. Zhao."
Quickly running to Zhao Tai, Wang Hai bent down and saluted: "I'm the official..."
Halfway through his words, Wang Hai "suddenly" noticed the wide-open middle door, and his expression changed drastically: "I can't help it. How can Master Zhao do this? I'm going to..."
"Why should a good son-in-law be seen outside?"
Zhao Tai supported Wang Hai, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Although we haven't gotten married yet, Xiao Hai is from the same family as my husband-in-law, Zhao Fuxian, so why not open the middle door? Don't forget, you are my eldest brother." The uncle of Hanhai County in Zhou Dynasty."
Wang Hai's face turned red with embarrassment: "How can I show off in front of Mr. Zhao, a small county official?"
Zhao Tai smiled even happier. He liked Wang Hai's modesty.
Zhuyingjian Shaojian was promoted by Han You to Brother Hai with a blank imperial edict. When Lao Ba learned about it, he was very unhappy and thought that Han You was a little messy, so he specially asked Wenwu to take the imperial seal of the country. The Villa put a big seal on the blank imperial edict, thinking that it was authoritative.
As for Hanhai County Bo, Hanhai is a false title. It's not that Lao Ba didn't give him the fiefdom, but that Wang Hai didn't want it himself, and Han You couldn't defeat him either.
When the group entered the mansion, Wang Hai was half a step behind without losing any courtesy. Zhao Tai became more and more satisfied as he watched.
A few days ago, when he went to court, he saw Feng Bai, the young prince of the Yan Palace in the West. At that time, Zhao Tai felt that he was wise and mighty. What the hell, he walked like a monkey, jumped up and down, and hooked up with Han You in the palace. The one with the playful smile looks like a pretty boy.
Zhao Tai talks about this every day. Fortunately, he didn't let his daughter marry such a thing. It can't be compared, it can't be compared at all. Look at Xiaohai, low-key and restrained. From a mere first-class nurse to a county official in Guochao, it's just useless. After a little more than a year, this person is the real leader among people. So what is Feng Bai? Bah, it's just relying on family background and limited achievements. If he kisses Han You again, can he kiss Wang Hai?
