Mrs. Wei was afraid that something might happen to her precious son, so she forced Xu Chunjun to go to the gambling house to redeem him.
Xu Chunjun had no choice but to come out, so he bought a curtain hat and put it on on the way.
Xu Daoqing went to Baoyuan Gambling House. Since he arrived in Beijing, he has been like a rat that swallowed kerosene. He can't rest for a moment. He wishes he could spend all day in restaurants and karaoke bars. He will never go back until dark every day.
Go home.
I had almost squandered all my money, so I thought of trying my luck in a gambling house.
He won the first few games, but the more he won, the more he wanted to win.
Then he lost two games in a row and refused to stop.
Xu Daoqing is young but courageous, and he never has to be in the right place.
Seeing that the money he won was being exported again and again, he started to have evil thoughts.
But he didn't want to think about it. If anyone in the capital could afford to open a gambling house, how could he not see his tricks?
So I used one and was caught.
There are always rules in gambling houses - bet to win, bet to lose, and don't bet to lose.
No matter who you are, as long as you are off the court or on the gambling table, you have to accept your win or loss.
But if it is a cheat, it is a despicable act. Not only will it be embarrassing, but you will also have to be punished.
Xu Daoqing was held down. Several burly men watching the scene surrounded him and asked him for an explanation.
He had denied it before and only got slapped twice before he became honest.
Then another skinny man came out and offered five hundred taels to settle the matter, otherwise his hand would have to be chopped off.
Xu Daoqing was frightened to death and quickly sent his servant home.
Xu Chunjun entered through the side door of the gambling house and saw Xu Daoqing in a small, cramped room.
"Why are you?" Xu Daoqing didn't expect that it was Xu Chunjun who came. He asked in a bad tone, "Did you bring any money?"
"Who has the final say here?" Xu Chunjun didn't answer his words at all, but asked the big man guarding Xu Daoqing.
"Third Master, someone has come to ransom that boy." The big man shouted upstairs.
After a while, a skinny middle-aged man came down.
"Who are you this kid? Five hundred taels of silver is not a penny less." The man named Third Master looked at Xu Chunjun and said.
Very few women come to gambling houses, and even if they do come, they are mostly strong, fat, and foul-mouthed women.
Although Xu Chunjun was wearing a curtain hat and could not see his face clearly, his demeanor was gentle and dignified, and he definitely did not come from the family of a trafficker and a lackey.
"He is my brother," Xu Chunjun said. "The five hundred taels you want is too much. Our family can't afford it."
"Stinky girl, what are you talking about?!" Xu Daoqing was anxious, "You dare to say that I am not worth five hundred taels of silver! You are tired of living!"
But he was immediately held down by two big men, and the place where he was hit felt a burning pain, reminding him that this was not a place for him to be arrogant.
Mother Lu wanted to speak, but Xu Chunjun turned her face away. Although she didn't speak, she was also warning her.
On the way here, Xu Chunjun had already told Mother Lu that if he wanted her to take care of this matter and rescue Xu Daoqing safely, he had to listen to her.
"Little girl, this is not a place for you to bargain." The third gentleman smiled, showing yellow teeth, and his whole face was like a walnut, and it had never been plated.
"Third Master, I'm not bargaining with you. You must also be able to tell that we are not from the capital. We have just arrived and have not yet established ourselves. My brother has broken the rules here, and we accept the punishment. But five hundred taels is not a small amount.
, we really can’t afford it.”
"Little girl, you are not sincere in what you say." The third master laughed and said, "Isn't one of your brother's hands worth five hundred taels?"
"It's not a question of whether it's worth it, it's that we simply can't afford so much money." Xu Chunjun said, "There are only two hundred taels here, not a cent more."
"You want to redeem someone for two hundred taels? There is no way!" The third master's face turned gloomy, "Well, you can keep these two hundred taels first, and I will give you three days' grace, and you can go find the money again.
After collecting enough five hundred taels later, we will let him go immediately. Don’t worry, we won’t embarrass him in these three days. But if three days pass, we can’t guarantee it. Do you think it’s okay to chop off one of his fingers a day?
"
"Third Master, let me tell you frankly. My brother is really a prodigal, and the whole family thinks he is a burden. I am the only girl who still cares about brotherhood and comes to save him." Xu Chunjun didn't act like that.
Like other women, they shrank and feared when they heard those words of beating and killing, "Otherwise, why would I, a woman, come here? To be honest, these two hundred taels are still my dowry money. If you want more,
, I don’t have these two hundred taels. After all, I can’t get another three hundred taels, so why let these two hundred taels go to waste?”
"Xu Laowu! How dare you do this to me!" Xu Daoqing was so angry that his eyes were red.
This stinky girl was not here to save him at all, but to force him to die.
These people are all desperadoes, and they can't do anything in a hurry. Does he still want his life?
"Little girl, I advise you not to play tricks in front of my old gangster." The third master warned Xu Chunjun, "I have seen all the tricks and tricks to provoke generals."
"Third Master is joking. Don't say I don't have the courage. Even if I do, I won't use it for this matter." Xu Chunjun chuckled and said, "The gambling house is also a business, and harmony makes money. Let's each make concessions. You
Do you think it can be made?"
"Little girl, you understand much better than this brother of yours. But if we take a step back, we can only take a small step back." The third master said, "For four hundred taels of silver, you can take the person away with his head and tail."
"Third Master, you are a veteran of the world, but I am not a member of the world. I am just a weak woman who never leaves the house. These two hundred taels of silver have really been spent. I still say the same thing.
, no one in the family is willing to save him except me." Xu Chunjun emphasized again.
"Little girl, you are clearly making things difficult for others. Do you think we are doing business here? I ask for a high price, and you just sit on the ground and pay me back." The third master rolled his eyelids and his eyes became fierce, "I will follow you now.
You have to pay the price, three hundred and fifty taels of silver, not even a penny less. Otherwise, you will be deducted as well!"
"Third Master, there is nothing wrong with doing business. If I use my two hundred taels of silver as a basis and earn you three hundred or four hundred taels, or even more, will you let me go?" Xu Chunjun asked back.
"Little girl, I'm afraid you have found the wrong person to play house." The third master laughed, "It's such a good thing, why don't you do it? Can it be my turn?"
"When it comes to making money, time, location, and people are all indispensable." Xu Chunjun responded calmly, "If you want to make this money, you need to rely on the name of your gambling house and the hundreds of gamblers. Both of these are
