Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Chao Yong chatted with Mr. He for a while, and then a guard came to report that the court was dismissed.

    Mrs. He was very distressed when she saw that her son had something to do after a day of rest, and said: "If you have something to do, go and do it, and pay more attention to your health."

    Chao Yong nodded and said: "Mom, please pay attention to your health, and the child will leave."

    When they arrived outside the Chui Gong Hall, they saw Wu Song and Mu Hong already waiting there.

    Wu Song smiled and said: "I was still thinking about one day when I would visit the prince, but the prince came to find me."

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "After a day's rest, it's okay to stay in the palace, so I came to find the two brothers. Let's go, change into casual clothes, and let's walk around the city."

    Wu Song looked at the military uniform worn by the previous emperor and said with a smile: "Okay, my place is closer, and Mu Hong can wear my clothes."

    Mu Hong had no objection either.

    Wu Song¡¯s house is right next to Yujie. It was originally a wealthy family¡¯s house. It was not very big. The original owner was ransacked and beheaded because he harmed the common people.

    "This was Wu Song's choice. The other houses were too big. He felt that the house was just big enough to live in. If it was too big, it would be easy for people to forget about themselves.

    As soon as I entered the house, a family member came up to say hello.

    With his bald chin and high-pitched voice, people immediately guessed his identity.

    Chao Yong smiled and said, "Are these people good at using it?"

    Wu Song nodded and said: "Very good. People who have been trained in the palace know the rules and work hard."

    Chao Yong and the two of them were not polite, and said with a smile: "That's good. I didn't have money to support so many people at the beginning, and I remembered that you all needed manpower, so I sent it to you. If it's not suitable, just say it and I'll help.  Send them home with the money. After the royal ticket number is opened, there will be no shortage of money."

    Wu Song smiled and said, "I can't use up my salary. The prince will sit in the front hall for a while, and Mu Hong and I will change clothes in the back."

    "good"

    The front hall of Wusong's house is not very big, but it is rare in the imperial street where every inch of land is at a premium.  Although the city of Tokyo is large, it is home to more than one million people, and most of the houses are not large. Gao Qiu needs to occupy military camps to build houses, which shows the tension of land in Tokyo.  Even if rich people without power can buy land, they would not dare to build their houses too big, as this could easily lead to disaster.  Only the houses of Cai Jing and other dignitaries were so large that they had no borders.

    As soon as Chao Yong sat down, he saw a dignified woman running in and wanted to pay homage.

    Chao Yong vaguely remembered that this woman was the one Wu Song chose in the palace that day. It seemed that she had become Wu Song's main wife, and concubines were not qualified to receive guests.

    "Sister-in-law, you don't need to be polite."

    The woman¡¯s face was filled with joy when she saw that the prince recognized her status as his wife.  Wu Song had already promised her to be his wife. Although she could not marry through a matchmaker because she was Zhao Ji's concubine before, Wu Song said that he would still treat the old Liangshan brothers to a wedding banquet.  Wu Song's parents and brother were both deceased. The prince recognized her identity, and the others did not dare to say anything more.

    The two chatted for a while, and then Wu Song and Mu Hong changed into casual clothes and came out. Mu Hong also had a strong figure, and Wu Song's clothes fit him well.

    When Wu Song saw that Chao Yong¡¯s table was empty, he couldn¡¯t help but frown and said, ¡°Why don¡¯t you serve tea to the prince?¡±

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "We are all from our own family, why are you so polite? Let's go."

    Wu Song glared at the eunuch and said, "Sweep the yard next month."

    "yes"

    The eunuch hesitated for a moment, but still didn't say anything.

    The woman hurriedly said: "Officer, you can't blame him for this. The slave family didn't dare to serve the prince tea."

    Chao Yong asked curiously: "Why, isn't there any good tea at my brother's house? I'll ask someone to bring it later."

    Wu Song hurriedly said: "The house has also prepared some to entertain guests. In the past, they were quite polite. I wonder what happened today? Tell the prince what happened."

    The woman looked at Wu Song and asked, so she had to say: "According to the rules of the palace, everything the prince eats must be inspected by someone before he can eat it. The prince didn't bring anyone with him, so we didn't dare to serve tea."

    When Wu Song heard this, he realized that it wasn¡¯t that he didn¡¯t have rules, but that he didn¡¯t understand them.

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "So that's it. I don't have to follow this rule when I come here in the future. I don't dare to eat the food in my brother's house. Then my life is too tiring. There is no need for punishment this time. If I come next time  If there is still no tea, the penalty will be doubled.¡±

    The eunuch hurriedly said: "The villain has written it down."

    When the three of them came out of the mansion, Chao Yong said with a smile: "Is there anything interesting? Let's have some fun and go to the military camp near noon."

    Mu Hong thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we go to Sister-in-law Gu's gambling shop and get the winning money back? Brother Wu Song didn't take any money either, right?"

      Wu Song nodded and said: "Well, there were probably a lot of people cashing money yesterday, so I thought I would cash it in two days. The prince must not have been there yet, right?"

    Chao Yong shook his head and said: "I haven't been there, I just heard it mentioned by Shi Qian, then let's go to Aunt Gu's place."

    It turns out that after Tokyo was captured, the sick Yuchi Sun was promoted to captain of ten thousand men, and the young Yuchi Sunxin also became an officer under his brother.  Sister-in-law Gu and Tie Jingzi Lehe felt that they had no future in the military, so they opened a gambling house in Tokyo.  With the care of the people in the army and Lehe's intelligence, the gambling shop is also prospering.

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "You didn't like gambling before, why are you gambling now?"

    "Of course we don't participate in ordinary gambling, but this time Lehe bets the prince and the Liao Kingdom. We will naturally not miss this opportunity to give money."

    Chao Yong didn¡¯t expect that Le He would come up with such an idea, and asked curiously: ¡°What kind of gambling method?¡±

    Wu Song said: "Speaking of it, Lehe was also smart. He opened this gambling game and attracted all the gamblers in Tokyo to place bets. Many people who had never entered a gambling house began to place bets for the first time. If the Liao soldiers retreat,  Naturally, the crown prince wins. Otherwise, within one month, as long as one city is occupied by the Liao Kingdom, the Liao Kingdom will win. No one expected that the winner would be determined so quickly."

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "You have confidence in me, you dare to make such a bet."

    Wu Song said with a smile: "The Liao Kingdom only sent 50,000 troops. We in Daliang also have 50,000 troops. Lu Junyi, Guan Sheng, Dong Ping, Zhang Qing and other powerful generals are all in Hebei. We also have gunpowder to help us. If we can't win, we will be surprised."  "

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "That's true, but if they are all as smart as you, wouldn't the gambling house be in trouble?"

    Mu Hong said seriously: "Smart people are naturally in the minority. The Liao Kingdom has dominated the Central Plains for two hundred years. Those gamblers are discussing how many cities the prince has to lose before he can stop the Liao soldiers from going south. Otherwise, the imperial court will not recruit brave soldiers.  Those who were elected would not give up their writing and join the army, and were ready to rush to the front line. Master Juren was a smart man, otherwise he would not have won the election. The gamblers thought that they would be sure of victory by following Juren, but they did not expect that the prince would defeat the Liao Kingdom so quickly.  , recaptured Xiongzhou."

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "So the court's actions misled the gamblers? Then Sister-in-law Gu should give me some bonuses."

    "Ha ha"

    When the two heard what Chao Yong said, they couldn't help laughing.

    Sister-in-law Gu¡¯s gambling house is located on Maxing Street. Standing outside the gambling house, you can hear the hoarse roars of the gamblers inside.

    "big big big"

    "Small, small, small"

    There is a plaque hanging on the edge of the door with the four characters "Luck Gambling House" written on it.

    Chao Yong looked at these four words and smiled: "This is a good name."

    Wu Song nodded and said: "Sister-in-law Gu is also afraid of ruining Liangshan's reputation. The gambling equipment in the gambling house has no mechanism. Everyone relies on luck. However, there are some gamblers who have practiced well and can hear the number of the dice through the sound of the dice turning.  Come on. Sister-in-law Gu didn't gamble, so she lost quite a bit in the first few days. Later, Lehe put a layer of cotton in the dice, so the gamblers couldn't hear the sound. It was all about luck.  It's not a guaranteed profit, so they also provide gamblers with table gambling equipment and let them bet against each other, and the gambling house takes some money from it. Because the luck gambling house started to lose miserably, the gamblers all know that the gambling equipment here is not fake.  There are also many people coming here to gamble.¡±

    The waiter standing at the door was Mrs. Gu¡¯s Huo family in Dengzhou. When she saw the three of them, she hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "No need to be polite, let's go in and take a look."

    When the three of them entered the gambling house, they saw that there were twenty or thirty tables in the room, and each table was crowded with people. The business was indeed booming.

    A few guys in the middle were patrolling back and forth to prevent anyone from cheating.

    One of the women is even more eye-catching, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, a fat face and a fat waist.  Insert a strange hairpin ring on one end and reveal fashionable hair bracelets on both arms.  The six red skirts are like pomegranate flowers in May; the several layers of green collar are dyed like spring willows.

    Sometimes when I get angry, I lift the well railing and hit my husband on the head; suddenly I feel anxious and knock over the villager¡¯s legs with a stone pestle.  Born unable to pick up a needle and thread, she is just the mother worm in the mountains.

    Before Sister-in-law Gu could see the three of them, Zi Lehe, who was sitting inside, had already come up to her with a smile: "Why do the three brothers have time to come here?"

    Wu Song said with a smile: "What, are you going to blame us?"

    Seeing Lehe coming out, Sister-in-law Gu also followed her and said with a smile: "I don't want to be a big bug under my brother's fists. Do you three brothers want to have some fun or go upstairs and sit down?"

    Chao Yong smiled and said, "Let's go upstairs and sit."

    Sister-in-law Gu and Lehe invited the three of them to the second floor, but there was also an office on the second floor, all of which were imitation royal offices.The layout is ?, and there is a row of seats at the door.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? could could could help but???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? can be canned by the maid who was sent by Chao Yong to prepare tea.

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "It seems that business is very good."

    Sister-in-law Gu smiled and said: "It's okay, it's not as good as the royal fortune. It's all thanks to Lehe's idea, and the gambling equipment is all right. It all depends on luck, so everyone is willing to come and support. In the past few days, the prince's power has  , make a small profit.¡±

    Wu Song smiled and said: "It must be a big profit. Not many gamblers bet on the prince to win."

    Sister-in-law Gu glared at Wu Song and said: "You have bet a lot each, including the prince's personal soldiers, the emperor's personal soldiers, and finally a group of common people who said they would support the prince. If you hadn't stopped betting when you saw the situation was not good, I'm afraid  It¡¯s not enough to compensate even if you put your family¡¯s wealth into it.¡±

    Chao Yong smiled and said, "What's going on?"

    Lehe said: "At first, the people were still thinking about making some money, and they all bet on the victory of the Liao Dynasty. Later, newspapers and tabloids began to publicize the prince's fight against foreign aggression, which excited the people's blood, and a group of people came to the gambling house. Who dared  Anyone who bets on Liao's victory is a traitor. If I hadn't stopped betting because the gambling house had no money, I would have lost everything. Fortunately, there were more gamblers who bet on Liao's victory.  ¡±

    Mu Hong smiled and said: "Since we didn't lose any money, let's take the money we won."

    Chao Yong asked curiously: "How much did you deposit?"

    Mu Hong shook his head and said: "I have deposited all my money in the bank account. In those few days, there were many people borrowing money from the bank account, so I didn't go to withdraw it. I only deposited one hundred guan."

    Chao Yong smiled and said: "Why don't you put down the deposit slip of the ticket number?"

    Mu Hong slapped his head and shouted: "Yes, you can withdraw money from the deposit slip anyway. If you put all the money on it, wouldn't you make a lot of money?"

    Sister-in-law Gu smiled and said, "It's a good thing you didn't think of it, otherwise this gambling shop would have closed down."

    Chao Yong naturally knew that the two were joking. They were both old people from Liangshan, and they would not undermine each other. If Mrs. Gu really lost the money, Mu Hong might not even ask for the principal.  And looking at the bets, we can tell that Mu Hong is just here to play, even though Mu Hong's previous wealth was completely wiped out by the official who escorted Hua Shigang.  But after Mu Hong went up the mountain, he made a lot of achievements, and the reward alone was in the thousands.

    Chao Yong also joked: "In a few days, the news of Xixia's invasion of 400,000 troops will be made public. Why don't you bet? I can also make some money to support my family."

    Lehe shook his head and said: "Don't open it. The public in Tokyo is very excited now. If we open it again, the people will definitely bet on me to win. This kind of money-losing business cannot be done."
