Wanli Xinming

Chapter 310

Ines Fernan, who was dragged by others, was a little flustered in his heart. He tried his best to hold his greasy chest and shouted: "I am a member, from the Roman Mission! You can't pull me!"

Du Liu, the bearer of Dongcheng, had a slender face, and his triangular eyes flashed fiercely from time to time.Hearing Ines' call, he snorted coldly.

When the companion heard the cold snort, he quickly slapped the drunkard in the face: "You don't understand what you say? Let you make a fortune, aren't you broken? Do you want money?"

When Ines heard this, his brain drowsy due to drunkenness became clearer.He stopped breaking free, stood still and said, "What do you mean?"

Du Liu didn't speak, shook his head, and pointed to a tea stall outside the entrance of the alley.Several people filed to the side of the tea stall, chose a table, and sat down on the benches on the four sides.

Dr. Cha accompanied him with a smile, walked over, nodded and bowed: "Liu Ye, you are so expensive today that you have stepped on a small land, and you are so happy! What would you like to drink? Scented tea or black tea? Don't look at me here. The stall is small, and I have all the dim sum in the imperial kitchen - Shaqima! Would you like a plate to try?"

Du Liu took out a shiny silver dollar from his sleeve and threw it to Dr. Tea: "Give this barbarian a portion, and then make us a pot of good tea, and the rest will be rewarded to you."

That Dr. Cha's mouth almost lost his joy, and he grabbed the silver dollar and said: "Hey, my sixth master! You have opened Xiao's eyes today! Xiaoguang heard about this silver dragon, today See you again!"

After speaking, Dr. Cha held the silver dollar between his thumb and forefinger and blew at it: "Hi! It's really buzzing! Tsk tsk, you look at this big dragon, it's so beautiful!"

Putting away the silver dollars, he greeted his servant, brewed two pots of good tea, and placed snacks such as fried beans and pea cakes on the table.He personally cut Sachima into two plates, and brought two plates of food similar to drum pods.

He rubbed his hands together and smiled and said: "Liu Ye! This Shaqima has a lot of greasy sugar, you can try this. The little ancestral secret recipe, spiced peanuts! This stuff used to be the seed of Nanbanzi in Guangdong, and the capital has only grown more in the past two years. , this thing can squeeze oil, and it tastes delicious! You can taste it, taste it."

A smile appeared on Du Liushou's face: "It's not enough for you to be sloppy. Your ancestors were Cantonese?"

"The ancestors of the eighth generation are all from Beijing!"

"Then where did your ancestral secret recipe come from?"

Dr. Cha flattered, and seeing that Du Liu had something to talk to Ines, he and the servant hid at the other end of the stall knowingly.

Du Liu stared at Ines, who was munching on snacks, and tapped his fingers on the table: "Are you so poor? Can't afford to eat? Are you interested in coming to this alley?"

Ines said with a wry smile: "I took the big pocket watch for today." Du Liu frowned and said, "You have no money at all?" Ines touched the sleeve of the leather jacket, took out three silver dollars and said: " All the possessions. All the rest lost."

"Hey, you barbarian is very gambling."

Ines wiped his face, picked up the teacup in front of him, smoothed the contents of his mouth, and grinned: "You know what? I lose, whether it's playing mahjong, rolling dice, or throwing copper coins - even if Poker is the game we bring!"

Du Liu listened and smiled: "Then do you know how you lost?" Ines shook his head and said, "I don't know, I think, God has abandoned me, it seems."

Du Liu took out three dice from his arms, emptied a small bowl with melon seeds, and threw the dice into it casually, only to hear a few ding dings, all of which were red side up.

Ines said with a loud voice: "Tong kill! God, I didn't bet, fortunately." Du Liu smiled: "You barbarian is stupid enough, look again!" He picked up the dice in the bowl and again Just throw it away, but this time it is three six up.

"Leopard!" Ines screamed again, and then said with a pale face: "Are you saying that I fell into a trap?" Du Liu and his companions stared at him and nodded playfully.

Ines slammed his forehead hard and said, "Fuck, I'm a big fool! Of course I fell into a trap, one's luck is not always so bad!"

Du Liu smiled and said: "The game you entered is called "Gambling the Sheep". The casino and the gamblers around you are all pretending to fool you - how much can you lose in the past six months?"

Ines said with a pale face, "300 ducats, probably, let me calculate, [-] taels of gold, almost——I have borrowed all of them, people from the mission."

Du Liu's eyes brightened when he heard it, he smiled and said, "Who are you gambling in this alley?"

Ines pointed into the alley: "It's a yard in the Ruyi Building - Sir, I can take you in after a bath."

Du Liu lifted him off the board, put his arms around his shoulders and said, "You are my good friend. You are being deceived. I will seek justice for you, no problem." Ines nodded again and again: "Of course. ,thank you for your help."

"I want [-]% of the money I want to come out. Do you have any questions?"

Ines hesitated to answer, and Du Liu's companion raised his hand to fight, making him shrink his neck in fright.The companion scolded: "You barbarian, eat jujube for nothing and think it's too big?"

When Ines heard this, he mustered his courage and said, "You guys help me. In fact, don't you think that I can find the support of adults from the Ministry of Rites - I should get half of it." When it came to money, his words suddenly became fluent. , there are fewer inversion sentences.

Du Liu listened and looked him up and down.He suddenly laughed and patted his cheek lightly: "You're not stupid, how did you get caught in it? Okay, since you understand it, I'll give you half of it!"

When Du Liu led Ines into the casino to seek justice, in the Zhou Wangfu in the northeast corner of the capital, a man dressed as a scholar was sitting in Zhou Wang's study, drinking tea. With a manuscript, I am reading it over and over.

After reading the manuscript, he took a sip of the strong tea on the desk, yawned, and said, "I'm sorry, Brother Zhong Xian, I'm such an old man that I'm sleepy when I read things with words. But I understand what you wrote, great talent! "

The scholar listened to Zhou Wangye's praise and smiled proudly: "Your Highness, this "Theory of Setting Horses to Suppress Gambling Wind" is not made up, it was written after several months of investigation and research. ."

When King Zhou heard this, he nodded hurriedly and said, "This king knows about this. Mr. Zhong has worked hard and worked hard. No matter whether it is successful or not, this king has a share of his heart here."

Hearing what he said, a staff-like person sitting beside him smiled and said, "My lord, as soon as Mr. Zhong's article is published, there's no reason why things can't be done."

"After the Saihanba Conference, the Mongolian ministries came in to offer horses and horses one after another. The emperor was far-reaching, and he distributed it to the princes stationed in Beijing. Isn't it still encouraging everyone to race horses? - Lord, tell me, the first one Who encouraged the horse racing?

King Zhou rolled his eyes and recalled: "It seems to be King Zheng." He suddenly patted his thigh and said, "How could this pedant ever ride a horse for a day! It must be the emperor who urged him to say it!"

The scholar interjected: "My lord, there must be a betting table when there is a game, and then the Capital Jockey Club gained momentum because of it. You took the lead and sponsored by the princes to build the Daming Racecourse outside the Daming Gate."

"It's been almost half a year, and the emperor and the court have not spoken to stop it! It can be seen that the court is also willing to open a horse racing trading company to let the people buy tickets and bet on horses - but it is blocked by the public opinion of the winter bakers. Just support the king."

A smug smile appeared on King Zhou's fleshy face, and what the scholar said was the most proud of his life.

But there is no doubt that he poked the hornet's nest - China's rulers have recognized the dangers of gambling since ancient times.From the Spring and Autumn Period to the Ming Dynasty, the official attitude has been consistent, one word "forbidden"!Although the degree of prohibition varies, there is no such nonsense as this group of princes - now public opinion generally believes that this is a large-scale gambling!
