The Happy Life of Small Officials in Northern Song Dynasty

"Chenghui silver is 1 taels!" Su Jin raised his palms upwards like a goddess of freedom.

The soldiers clamored and searched for baskets and cages for silver, but in the end Wang Dehai was familiar with the road, got a few broken baskets from nowhere, happily moved them to Xiao Temo's case, put them down, and waited for the silver with his hands on his hips.

Xiao Te's face turned ashen at the end, looking at Su Jin's smiling handsome face, he wished he could rush up and slap him a few times.

"The compensation will be paid after the end of the next competition." Xiao Temo said in a low voice.

"Joke, what is this? Is there any gambling?"

"Gambling is like character, and the one who refuses to pay is the son of the turtle, Wang Jiudan."

"With no money, are you pretending to be a big-headed ghost? Don't gamble if you can't afford to lose."

The people of the Song Dynasty and others shouted, scolded and ridiculed, wantonly sarcasm and sarcasm.

Su Jin didn't make a sound, just smiled and maintained the posture of the goddess of freedom, and it seemed that she was not going to let Xiao Temo owe money.

Xiao Temo roared and said: "What a quarrel, I'll just pay, and I'll turn my face if you quarrel again."

"Your mother, you are still so violent in the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, why don't you turn your face around?" Wang Dehai cursed at Xiao Temo without knowing where his mother's courage came from.

Seeing that the commotion was out of control, Fu Bi hurriedly said, "Retire all of them. The chief envoy Xiao has already promised to pay compensation. Whoever makes further noise will be dealt with by military law."

Only then did the crowd stop shouting and cursing, and the audience stared at Xiao Temo.

Xiao Temo breathed out, and asked Liu Liufu in a low voice, "How much money did we bring?"

Liu Liufu gulped and said, "My lord, we brought a total of 2 taels. When we came here, people on the road spent more than 3000 taels on horse chews. Now we still have less than [-] taels."

Xiao Temo wiped the greasy sweat on his forehead with his sleeve and said: "Bring it, I have lost my gambling debt."

Liu Liufu blinked his eyes and said: "But Chief Envoy Xiao, in this way, we may not be able to pay enough money."

Xiao Temo stared and said: "What are you talking about? There are three more competitions in the future, let's win again."

Liu Liufu frowned and said, "But, what should we do if we lose again?"

Xiao Temo scolded: "Crow's mouth, how could you lose?" Although the words were decisive, there was a clear lack of confidence in the meaning of the words.

Liu Liufu sighed, and waved his hand to accompany the inner hall of the post office to carry the silver. A large black box was carried out. Liu Liufu counted the silver one by one with trembling hands, and put it into the soldiers of the Song Dynasty. broken basket.

Putting the silver into the frame, there was a light touch sound, every time there was a sound, the flesh on Xiao Temo's face trembled, and his heart was bleeding.

After all the 1 taels of silver were handed over, several soldiers of the Song Army came back to Su Jin with three full silver baskets, lined up the baskets, and placed them in front of the table.

Su Jin laughed and said: "Master Xiao is really a trustworthy person, he spends thousands of dollars, and he doesn't even frown. Admiration, admiration!"

Xiao Temo sneered and said: "A few ten thousand taels of silver, but...not in the eyes of this envoy. This envoy owns a pasture for hundreds of miles in Daliao, with tens of thousands of horses, cattle and sheep, and more than ten thousand taels of silver. .”

Su Jin laughed loudly, bowed his hands and said, "Can we still compare?"

Xiao Temo stared blankly: "Why do you want to run away after winning?"

Su Jin smiled and said: "This is also called winning? I am just worried that if you lose again, what will you use to pay for it? Just because you have money in your family does not mean that you have money in hand now. When it comes to gambling, the emphasis is on cash settlement , unless you have wings and fly back to Liao to withdraw money."

Xiao Temo spat: "Why should you worry about this, if you lose, you will pay the full compensation."

Su Jin clapped his hands and said, "Okay! Now that I've reached this point, I've done my best. Let's try the eighth match again, and remind everyone that the bet in this match is 600 taels of silver. Come on! Let's fight!" .”

Everyone's heartbeat was so loud that this was a shocking gamble. One game cost 600 taels of silver. An ordinary family can live comfortably with ten coins a year. More than 5000 taels of silver, which is more than 3 taels How many lifetimes will it take to spend all the copper coins?

Some people's eyes are full of lust, if you have [-] guan, how should you spend it? Yes, you must eat big fish, big meat sauce, elbows and big hoofs for every meal, and you must marry at least three or five concubines. There are two cars, take one, and the other is empty; someone asked why it was empty, and the master told him: No reason, just empty.If they ask again, I will smash my hammer in their face.

The sound of drums shook the sky, waking up everyone's dream of getting rich. The contestants from Song and Liao had already left the field. Zhang Long played on Da Song's side, but when he saw Xiao Dahu on the other side, Ma Han refused. up.

Just now Ma Han had a quarrel with this Xiao Dahu. He had seen that Dahu's nose was not a nose and his eyes were not eyes. Seeing Xiao Dahu appearing now, Ma Han pulled Zhang Long back and said, "Brother Zhang Long, this The guy is mine."

Zhang Long said in amazement: "Why?"

Ma Han stared and said, "Just because I'm your elder brother, what's the matter? Are you going to commit a crime?"

Zhang Long looked at Wang Chao with a bitter face and said, "Brother Wang Chao, take a look, isn't this bullying?"

Chao Chao smiled and said: "Let him do it this time, it's not like he won't have to fight later."

Zhang Long had no choice but to watch Ma Han enter the arena with his chest and belly folded, and Xiao Dahu also entered the arena aggressively.

As soon as the beating of the drum stopped, the two sides set up their stances, like two fierce tigers coming out of the mountain, staring at each other covetously; in comparison, Xiao Dahu was more cautious, because Xiao Dahu knew that this round could not be lost no matter what; So he whispered in his ear and asked him to play, because no matter what, he had to win this match. After winning, the chief envoy would find a reason not to fight, and not give the Song people a chance to make a comeback.

Xiao Dahu felt that this move was very despicable in his heart, besides, he would definitely win if he went out, the more late he won, the bigger the bet and the more he would win.But Xiao Dahu also understands that the main reason is that the master envoy doesn't have that much wealth to spend with the other party. Just this one, once he misses, he can't continue. If he has no money to pay the gambling debt, the people of Song will not talk to him at all.

"Hey! You." Xiao Dahu shouted in half-baked Chinese.

Ma Han pointed to his nose and said, "Are you talking to grandpa?"

"You Song people, if you can't do it, you will run and hide; it's no fun to compete with you." Although Xiao Dahu's language is not fluent, he can express his meaning very clearly. He obviously despises the previous few games of Da Song. People like to swim and fight, and if they don't confront each other head-on, they will be very unconvinced when they lose.

Ma Han laughed and said: "My son-in-law said, I don't want to be brave, as long as I can beat you, I can fight any way."

Su Jin was amused, thinking: This guy actually quotes himself.

Xiao Dahu shook his finger and said: "That kind of martial arts competition is not a skill; if you have the guts, don't run, don't hide, let's come head-to-head."

Everyone on the Song side cursed: "Cut, what is it, you actually play aggressive games, you just need to win the fight, who will listen to your words."

Su Jin frowned, he knew Ma Han too well, this guy just couldn't bear to be provoked, I'm afraid it would be worse.

Sure enough, Ma Han jumped and scolded: "If you do it hard, you will do it hard. Grandpa is afraid that you will fail? Whoever runs away from us is a bastard."

Xiao Dahu's heart relaxed, and he smiled happily and said: "Once a word is spoken, ten thousand horses are hard to follow. If you go back on your word, you will be a bear!"

Ma Han shouted: "Grandson is regretting it, stop talking nonsense and do it quickly, grandpa still has lunch."

Chao Chao stomped his feet and scolded: "This foodie is so easy to be fooled. The Liao people are brave, how can they confront them head-on."

Su Jin was also stunned. Ma Han was originally a brave and ruthless guy, but now that he was caught by someone's weakness, the outcome of this competition was unpredictable.

Although he was depressed, he couldn't change people temporarily. Besides, after replacing Ma Han, it would be a great blow to Ma Han. Su Jin would never do this, and he couldn't hurt his self-confidence even if he lost a game. Maybe after this incident, Ma Han can get a little growth, and he will be more stable in the future, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise.

The two sides got together for more than two feet, Xiao Dahu succeeded in his tricks, and without further wording, 'Tangtangtang' approached Ma Han with big strides.

It could be seen that Xiao Dahu had put in a lot of effort, every time he took a step, the blue brick ground seemed to shake, like a giant monster walking on the ground, with a terrifying power.

Standing on the same spot, Ma Han suddenly raised his head to the sky and let out a loud roar. He waved his hands repeatedly, and took off all the armor hats on his body disguised as soldiers of the Song Army, revealing his naked upper body.

The soldiers of Song Dynasty couldn't help admiring secretly when they were worried. This guy is not blindly pushing himself, but he has some capital. The lumpy tendon meat is bulged piece by piece, like iron balls embedded in the flesh. It can feel powerful.

Ma Han let out a muffled growl, gritted his teeth and mobilized his strength, and saw that the muscles on his arms swelled up like blowing air, and his sand bowl-sized fists were clenched tightly, making a slight 'click' sound of joint friction, The audience is clearly identifiable.
