Jinyi Town Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 256
Two days later, Huafu, Tea Pavilion.

Wu Qing led "Chiliba" Li Zipian and "Old Servant" He Liu to play hemp hanging with Huayuanquan as promised.At the same time, forty soldiers of the governor's yamen stood around the flower pavilion to protect Wu Qing's safety.

Hua Yuanquan cupped his hands towards Wu Qing: "Hey, Mr. Wu, you just took my 11 taels of silver, so you can't wait to return it to me?"

Not to be outdone, Wu Qing said, "Second Master Hua, to tell you the truth, I came here today to win back my "Boat Returning Through Wind and Rain"."

Hua Yuanquan looked at Li Zipian and He Liu, and asked, "That's not right, there are four of them. There is still one person missing."

Li Zipian stroked his big beard stuck under his nose, and said, "You don't know about holding oil. This old servant of mine is a master at playing hemp hanging. Today, he will also serve on the table."

Hua Yuanquan frowned: "The servants at the table? This is the first time I've seen you. Don't you two masters and servants take my Hua Yuanquan as a fool and plan to hook up and play some tricks?"

Li Zipian laughed and said: "Holding oil, Baoding is your territory. I know that according to the rules of your Central Plains, when you play tricks on the gambling table, you have to cut off your hands and feet and stomp the birds! What if I play with my servant later?" Huahua, you just chop off my limbs."

Hua Yuanquan made a small calculation in his heart: anyway, this Chiliba is from the Western Regions, and he has no influence in the local area.If I really lost a lot of money today, I can directly accuse him and his servant of playing hooks and tricks at the poker table.Rely on him!If you win, heh, I'll take all of Hua Erye.

Hua Yuanquan said: "Okay! But, as a servant, can he get the money?"

Li Zipian took out a stack of bank notes from his pocket, and handed it to He Liu: "Today, if he wins, it's mine, and if he loses, it's all mine."

Hua Yuanquan made a "please" gesture.

Wu Qing waved his hand: "Wait a minute, we still have to wait for a notarization. Lu Yuanwai in the west of the city."

Hua Yuanquan said: "It's only 1000 taels, what kind of notarization do you need?"

Wu Qingdao: "What if Second Master Hua becomes interested and wants to increase the price?"

To increase the size on the hemp hanging table, all four people need to agree.

Hua Yuanquan said: "Success. The Lu Yuanwaigui in the west of the city is the father-in-law, and he is famously fair in handling affairs in Baoding City. If someone cheats later, he can also be a witness."

Not long after, a white-haired, seventy-year-old Lu Yuanwai walked into the tea booth tremblingly, leaning on a cane.

The four greeted Lu Yuanwai.

Lu Yuanwai was taken aback, and looked at Li Zipian more!He had seen Li Zipian before!Jin Yiwei has the responsibility of guarding the palace.The Taibao men of Fusi in the South and North Towns will take turns serving as the gatekeepers of the Chengtian Gate of the Imperial Palace.Lu Yuanwai's daughter is a noble concubine in the palace.Every year from the eighth day of February to the second day of March, the family members of the concubines in the palace will go outside the Chengtian Gate to present things to the concubines at home.

Therefore, Lu Yuanwai has seen Li Zipian two or three times!

Li Zipian was also taken aback when he saw Yuanwai Lu!He was in a bad mood.How come I forgot that I was on duty at Chengtianmen in February and March this year, and I met the concubines' family members?

Fortunately, Lu Yuanwai is an old fox.He thought to himself: Jin Yiwei specializes in secret errands, so I'd better not cause trouble and talk too much.In case of disturbing other people's errands and offending Jin Yiwei, even the relatives of the emperor will be unable to bear it.

Lu Yuanwai cupped his hands towards Li Zipian: "It turned out to be a friend from the Western Regions. Please sit down."

Li Zipian breathed a sigh of relief: It seems that Lu Yuanwai is a smart person, and he didn't plan to reveal my identity.

The four hemp hangers gathered together.The notarization has also arrived, and the game begins.

The code cards of the four "splashing".

In the first deck, He Liu, Li Zipian, and Wu Qing all got good cards.

After a while, Wu Qing was confused.But according to the agreement, Huayuanquan must first let Huayuanquan get some benefits when he comes up.So Wu Qing messed up his cards, but pretended not to, and instead sighed: "Three barrels, bad luck. What a bad hand this is."

The way of mahjong, the three of them are confused.The fourth person will definitely kill the Quartet.

After a while, Hua Yuanquan pushed down his own cards and shouted: "It's a mess! It's 1000 taels for the whole family!"

Li Zipian muttered: "Oh, it seems that you are lucky today. We will be killed by you."

As the game continued, He Liu, Li Zipian, and Wu Qing seemed to be possessed by the gods, and the money flowed out like water.The banknotes in Huayuanquan's hand were piled up like a hill.

Wu Qing complained: "It's only two rounds of cards, and I lost another 2 taels! Erye Hua, I have a suggestion, should we increase the bet to 2000 taels?"

Huayuanquan was the winner, thinking that anyway, I have already won more than 6 silver from them.Overweight is not afraid of them.

Hua Yuanquan said: "Just add it! Mr. Wu is the loser, so I can't object if you say you want to increase the stake, right? If you win money, you don't dare to increase the stake, that's what poor girls do. I just don't know if the two of them agree or not. ?”

Li Zipian also pretended to be red-eyed: "Add, add! The bigger the size, the easier it is for me to make money!"

He Liu opened his mouth and said: "Our master said to add, so I naturally agree to add."

Lu Yuanwai said: "Since the four families are willing to increase the price, well, from now on, every time the money will be increased to 2000 taels!"

The four continued to fight fiercely.

In Wu Qing's hand, he made a set of all big cards with 66 turned over.If he plays his own cards, each family will give him more than 13 silver.On the poker table, Li Zipian and He Liu's money is actually his Wu Qing's money, winning is not considered a win.But if he was confused about this one, Huayuanquan at the opposite door would also give him 13 taels!It is equivalent to Wu Qing's net profit of [-] taels!
In Wu Qing's deck, a single four of a kind was played.When it was his turn to draw a card, he picked it up and saw that it was four of a kind!

He held the four-of-a-kind card in his hand, hesitating in his mind whether to overthrow the card.

Li Zipian seemed to see through Wu Qing's thoughts.He put his right hand on his left chest and touched it.

This gesture is a code word in Qianmen, which means: put a long line to catch big fish.

Hua Yuanquan urged him from the side: "I said Mr. Wu, he is good at his hands, learn to be fast! Are you waiting for a card to give birth?"

Wu Qing thought to himself: Forget it, I have already made up my mind with my master today, to give Huayuanquan a dead house!This 13 taels of silver is nothing compared to his 300 million taels of property?

Thinking of this, Wu Qing directly typed out the four pieces in his hand: "Four pieces!"

Hua Yuanquan said loudly: "Oh! Don't move! Four pieces, you're confused! Yes, right! Twenty feudal clans. Those who shoot cannons will pay [-] silver!"

Although Wu Qing was in pain when he took out the silver ticket, he thought to himself, anyway, in the end, Shigong is going to help me make big cards to win back, and 4 taels is considered the bait thrown out.

Not long after, He, Wu and Li's families lost another [-] to [-] silver.

This time, it was Li Zipian's turn to speak: "Two thousand silver is too slow to win or lose! We people from the Western Regions like to have a good time when we play money. I think, how about increasing the size to 5000 taels?"

Huayuanquan wins money and wins a red face.He naturally agreed.He Liu and Wu Qing also nodded.

Lu Yuanwai said: "Okay, the four families agree. Then this size will be increased to 5000 taels!"
