Chapter 158: The Dust Settles (Part 2)

After leaving the Sword Tomb and bidding farewell to the Sword Slave, Zhao Zheng went to the next place he wanted to go. Today was the first day after he recovered and went out. There were many places to go and many people to see. Things should be prioritized, of course, according to importance.

To a certain extent, go from place to place and meet people one by one.

The first place he went to was the Sword Tomb, and the first thing he did was to bury the two swords from the past. In his opinion, this was the most important thing that should be done first, and other things could be put aside first.

The second place he went to was a casino, a temporary casino.

A few days ago, this casino was bustling with people, but now it is deserted and there are few people around. The reason why the contrast is so big is because the arena competition has ended, and 90% of the guests in the villa have left, and gambling

Most of the accounts have been settled.

This temporary casino no longer has gambling games. Naturally, no one would want to come to a casino without gambling games.

Zhao Zheng is here to withdraw money.

Lu Youfa was playing dice with his men to relieve his boredom, showing off his unique skill of throwing the leopard number by throwing it. When he saw Zhao Zheng arriving, he quickly put down the dice and went towards him. The dice spun several times in the white porcelain bowl.

When it stopped, it displayed two, four, and five three non-consecutive points. Lu Youfa's men were precise and would never go on a business trip. He would only go on a business trip when he was distracted.

The fact that he can be distracted by Zhao Zheng shows how much he values ​​Zhao Zheng.

"Young Master Zhao, I finally expected you to come. I had planned to visit you before, but I was afraid that it would disturb your rest and recovery, so I didn't leave. Now that you have come by yourself, it is really a good thing." You Lu said with a smile on his face.

The lips were crossed and the hands were cupped. After not seeing each other for a few days, he was a little fatter than before. People are in high spirits during happy events, and their appetite will naturally increase.

"Haha, I wonder what's so good about what Boss Lu said?" Zhao Zheng smiled and returned the gift.

"There are two good things. First, you can walk over to prove that you have recovered. As your friend, of course I hope you can recover. Second, when you come, I can give you the money that belongs to you."

You are done, and you have settled a worry."

"Boss Lu cares so much about my health and wants to stuff money into my hand. I'm really grateful."

"Haha, this is also the first time I want to give the money in my pocket to others. This has never happened before."

"You were willing to give me that money just because I helped you make much more money than that money."

"That's right!" Lu Youfa showed an excited look and waved his fist, "Thanks to you, I made a big profit this time. Even if the more than four million taels of gambling money cannot be paid in full, I can still make three hundred.

More than ten thousand taels. This is the largest gambling sum I have made in these years."

"More than three million taels, this is a dizzying astronomical figure. Those losers will probably cry for their fathers and mothers." Zhao Zheng said with a bitter smile.

"Haha, some people are going to cry. Among the people who participated in the gambling this time, there are a few good gamblers who bet all their wealth on Kong Yunjie. Who would have thought that Kong Yunjie, who was so ambitious, would be defeated by you!"

Lu Youfa laughed again. He laughs often these days. This is a hearty laugh, a winner's laugh.

"Wouldn't it be tragic to lose all your belongings?" Zhao Zheng frowned.

"Gambling has always been about those who are willing to take the bait. No matter how miserable they are, they can't blame others. If the loser is me, I have to admit defeat and hand over the gambling money."

"Even so, it still makes people feel pitiful."

"Young Master Zhao is so warm-hearted that he actually worries about those gamblers. But don't worry, I didn't kill all the gamblers. I treated those gamblers who lost badly and gave them a little mercy and collected less gambling money.

, so that they won’t lose their pants.”

"That's right. If you drive those gamblers to a dead end, it won't be good for you either." Zhao Zheng nodded.

"That's right, if you drive gamblers into jumping into the river, who else will I make money from in the future, right?" After Lu Youfa finished speaking, he laughed again.

After chatting and laughing, Lu Youfa took out a stack of silver notes from his body and gave them to Zhao Zheng with both hands. The total amount was 300,000 taels. Of the money, 180,000 taels were gambling money, and the 100,000 taels were from the previous agreement.

As for the remaining 20,000 taels of bonus, Lu Youfa kindly made up for it in order to round up the whole number. He did this because he was happy that he had won too much money, and he also wanted to make friends with Zhao Zheng.

Zhao Zheng originally didn't want to ask for the extra 20,000 taels, but after several attempts to refuse, he had no choice but to accept it.

Three hundred thousand taels of silver, not to mention being exchanged for real gold and silver, there is a thick stack of paper banknotes, which makes people feel particularly comfortable holding it in their hands.

During the previous period of recuperation, Zhao Zheng had already planned the use of the money. He planned to divide it into three parts, keeping part for his own use, giving part as gifts to relatives and friends, and scattering the rest to help others and provide disaster relief.

If you are poor, you can only take care of yourself; if you are rich, you can help the world.

For Zhao Zheng, being able to use this money to help more people is far more satisfying than keeping it in his pocket. After all the money is gone, it will come back again. With his current strength and status, it is not difficult to make money. It is really unnecessary.

Too stingy with this little money.

After leaving the casino, Zhao Zheng went to the residence of Zhuifeng Yuanyangxia's family, intending to pay a visit and say thank you.

Before the arena competition was officially held, Li Yuanzhan had been of great help to him. He personally taught him swordsmanship. He also mobilized his friends to show their talents, taught him Pegasus swordsmanship and opened the acupuncture points on his body. The reason why he was able to win consecutive battles was because

It is inseparable from the help of these people.

A person must repay his kindness. After he wins, of course he will come to thank others. But I don’t know if Wang Chao, Dongfang Chu, and Bao Fu have left the Zhujian Villa. If they have not left, they will have to go and see them face to face.

Just say thank you.

Although it is a great kindness to be grateful without saying anything, it would be even more unjust if you do not even say thank you.

Arriving at the familiar gate of the courtyard, Zhao Zheng knocked on the door. Not long after, there was a response from the door.

"Who's knocking on the door?" Li Yuanzhan's rough voice came out, sounding like a battlefield drum.

"It's me, Zhao Zheng."

"Haha, it turns out you are here. I will come over and open the door for you right away."

Zhao Zheng stopped and waited for a few breaths, and the door opened faster than expected.

The person who opened the door was none other than Li Yuanzhan. He was in high spirits as usual today. He was wearing a grab bag on his head, a big belt around his waist, fast boots on his feet, a brocade silk hero's cloak on his back, and a mandarin duck sword hanging on his waist.

Jian. When he saw Zhao Zheng, his broad face immediately burst into laughter.

"Good boy, your injury is finally healed. I've been waiting for you for so many days, and I can't wait any longer." Li Yuanzhanhao said with a smile.

"Uncle has been waiting for me?" Zhao Zheng heard this tone and guessed that the other party seemed to have something important to ask of him.

"That's it. I've been waiting for you to recover so that I can tell you something. If it weren't for this, I would have gotten up and left long ago."

"What does uncle want to say to me?"

"It's a happy event, a huge happy event. You come in first. This is not a place for talking. Let's talk slowly inside." Li Yuanzhan said, grabbing Zhao Zheng's arm and pulling him into the courtyard, looking very anxious.

Wait. (To be continued.)
