Chapter 39 Wu Haogu is a liar
"cheat?"
This time, the two brothers Gao Qiu and Gao Lian were both shocked.
Gao Lian was shocked that how could his elder brother know such a liar who was about to be arrested in Kaifeng Prefecture for a lawsuit?
Gao Qiu couldn't imagine how Wu Haogu could have cheated tens of thousands of dollars in less than a month?
"How to cheat?" Gao Qiu asked humbly.
Wu Haogu smiled but didn't answer, just looked at Gao Lian.
"Erlang, go and have a meal with your sister-in-law and the others."
"Brother..." Gao Lian always felt that it was inappropriate for his brother to interact with the liar. He wanted to persuade him, but Gao Qiu glared at him and had no choice but to get up and leave.
In the small main hall, only Wu Haogu, Gao Qiu and Guo Jing were left.
Wu Haogu said: "I will not hide it from my brother, the panjiayuan gambling on the first day of April is a scam."
"Scam? Scam...Mi Youren?" Gao Qiu asked, while pouring a glass of wine for Wu Haogu and Guo Jing.
Wu Haogu smiled, turned his wine glass gently and said, "Xiaomi agreed to a bet, and she was trapped. His father and son have a good reputation, how can I compare with my younger brother?
If I can bet with him, I will have already taken a big advantage. Besides, I will definitely win this game, so I can take advantage of Xiaomi's name to take a step forward.
But the tens of thousands of dollars have to be found elsewhere."
Tens of thousands of dollars were underestimated by Wu Haogu. Guo Jing knew his ability, and his eyes were lit up when he heard it, but Gao Qiu was stunned and stunned.
"Where can you find tens of thousands of cranes?"
"Isn't it a gambling game?" Wu Haogu smiled, "Mi Youren and I were fighting each other, so why not bet bigger?"
"Get bigger?"
Wu Haogu looked at the two people in front of him and smiled and said, "You might as well do this with me, set up a bet in Panjiayuan, win a big shot, and make a fortune together."
Pan Jiayuan’s gambling was originally a game. Wu Haogu didn’t think so much when he first deceived Mi Youren into the game. Later, he thought about it alone at home and found that this was an opportunity to win both fame and fortune.
That's why Guo Jing and Liu Wuji and the others were letting go everywhere, just to attract more audiences to Pan's home.
As a result, he caught "Taiwei Gao" again.
With the entrusted "Taiwei Gao", Wu Haogu could play big games in Panjiayuan.
"Dalang, what do you want to do?" Gao Qiu was immediately excited when he heard "get rich".
Although he was so glorious about following Prince Wang, he was actually very poor.
Wang Shen is just a nominal official and has no chance to make money. Gao Qiu, who has been with him, is naturally honest, otherwise his family would not be so recession.
Moreover, Gao Qiu's family also has an unfamiliar younger brother Gao Lian and three sons. Although Gao Lian entered Kaifeng Prefecture School, he studied poorly and had no chance to enter the Imperial Academy. In the future, he would have to rely on his brother to find a way out.
Gao Qiu's three sons will have to study and start a family in the future... If they cannot make a name outside Donghua Gate, they will have to buy a house for their sons!
It's really Alexander!
Wu Haogu looked at his "Brother Gao Qiu" and asked, "Brother, on the first day of April, can you deceive Prince Wang to Pan's home?"
"No need to lie," Gao Qiu shook his head and said, "The prince-in-law is a rich and idle person. He must know that Pan Jiayuan will join in the fun of gambling."
"That's great!" Wu Haogu smiled and said, "Brother Gao Qiu, then I'll ask you to prepare dozens of gambling contracts."
"Okay, I'll do it." Gao Qiu thought for a while and asked again, "Dalang, do you want to call Wang Fuma to be a gambling intermediary?"
"Yes!" Wu Hao Gudao, "There must be someone who is a middle-aged man in the gambling game, otherwise how can he play big?"
Moreover, it is obvious to all that Wang Fuma’s status in calligraphy and painting industry. The only thing he is qualified to judge my bet with Xiaomi.”
People in the Song Dynasty were more likely to bet (which dynasty in China was not good at betting?), and they could use anything to bet.
In the drawing skills competition, you can naturally set up a game.
However, this bet cannot be set up by Wu Haogu himself, just like the team cannot handle the bets in later generations, otherwise they will have no credibility.
In addition, the bet between Wu Haogu and Mi Youren also requires big shots from calligraphy and painting to be judges.
Wu Haogu is now called Guo Jing and Liu Wuji and others are promoting gambling outside, which will inevitably attract the attention of Liu Youfang and Chen Youwen.
If these two people arrive at Panjiayuan, they are very likely to become referees in gambling, which is extremely unfavorable for Wu Haogu.
Therefore, Wu Haogu hopes that Wang Shen can be present. If possible, he will add one or two characters who can speak out in calligraphy and painting, so that he will not be afraid of "black whistle".
"Brother Gao, do you think Li Boshi is it possible to go to Panjiayuan?" Wu Haogu asked him again at this time.
"Boshi" is the name of Li Gonglin, who was a Jinshi in the third year of Xining of Emperor Shenzong. He is now an official appointed as the censor and prosecutor. At the same time, he is also a famous painter today, and he was called "the first person in painting". In terms of painting skills, he is a figure above Mi Fu and Wang Shi.
This duke has a good relationship with Wang Shi, and lives in Kaifeng Prefecture and is also a censor. If he can be deceived into Pan's home, he will definitely be able to make a fair assessment.
"Boshi Li... If the prince consort invited him, he would definitely go." Gao Qiu smiled and said, "Brother, let's think of a solution."
Wu Haogu bowed to Gao Qiu, "Thank you, Brother Gao. If there is any investment in this game, I will give you 30% of the money."
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Gao Qiu thought for a while and asked again, "Do you just have a gambling bill?"
"Yes." Wu Haogu smiled and said, "My family has small assets, which is something that can be obtained by tens of thousands of coins now."
"Okay, let's join forces to make a game!"
...
It was already past the hour of Hai after leaving Gao Qiu's house.
Walking in the alleys in the north wing of the city, I saw a bright moon hanging high, the moonlight was cold and sprinkling on the earth.
"It's too late. If you go back to the inner city, you're afraid it's going to be tomorrow, and the night road is not safe. Why not go to my general for one night?"
Guo Jing followed Wu Haogu and invited him to spend the night at his residence.
"Okay." Wu Haogu knew that Guo Jing was mainly worried about his safety.
There are military patrol shops everywhere in Kaifeng Prefecture, and the public security situation is very good. Even at night, few people block the road and rob.
However, Wu Haogu has a little hatred recently, so it is better to be careful.
"Brother Guo San, I plan to go to Haizhou when it comes to April. Can you find a few reliable brothers in the imperial guards and follow me?"
"Go to Haizhou? What are you going to Haizhou?"
"Go to launder money, go find the "Eighty-Seven Immortals Picture" for others, and find a way out for yourself."
"Ladding...money? Still looking for "The Eighty-Seven Immortals Picture"?"
Guo Jing had no idea what Wu Haogu wanted to do, but he knew that following Wu Haogu would definitely make money.
And you can make a lot of money!
This is the key.
"Okay!" Guo Jing patted his chest and said, "It's covered by someone. Most of the old imperial guards in Kaifeng cannot be beaten. However, a family knew a few coaches transferred from the Western Army. They all saw blood killing thieves in the west, and they could fight against a hundred."
“Reliable?”
Wu Haogu actually just wanted to find a few bodyguards who looked a little bit like, but he didn't expect Guo Jing to directly recommend the Western Army's tough hands.
"It's reliable, how can it be unreliable?" Guo Jing smiled bitterly, "These people are not bachelors, they all have families, but they don't know how to make any other business except martial arts. They are all extremely poor. If Dalang is willing to hire them all the time, they will be their parents for food and clothing."
Wu Haogu heard it, nodded without saying a word.
The military men who served as imperial guards in Kaifeng Prefecture in those times had other business, and their military status was just a member of the organization. However, the miscellaneous military officials transferred from the Western Army were all "incompetent". After arriving in the colorful world of Kaifeng Prefecture, they all sat in the city of sorrow.
Although Kaifeng Prefecture is good, it is a saying to wealthy and powerful people. If you have to rely on a few "dead military pay" to support the family, you will be like living in hell on earth.
