The Child Emperor

Chapter 98 The first invitation

There are not many people who dare to take over the sky, and gambling can definitely occupy a place among them.

Zhang Yanghao really recruited three people to play dice with Emperor Fei, and with him himself, there were just enough five people. Everything went well, but Emperor Fei's technique was as embarrassing as his body skills. It was almost as a gift of money, but never Shouldn't it, when Emperor Fei claimed that he was tired and asked his followers to play for a while, Zhang Yanghao and the others agreed without thinking.

An hour passed, and the night was getting dark outside. The four honored children knelt on the mat, staring blankly at the dice, still not understanding how all this happened.

Except for Zhang Yanghao, the others didn't give their names from the beginning, they were only referred to as "sons". They were all in their twenties, and they had been immersed in casinos for a long time, and they had never lost so badly.

Du Chuanyun sat on his knees facing the four of them, with his hands on his knees, his eyes scanned over and over again, waiting for them to place a bet, he was not in a hurry at all, it was the same for people who were winning.

Zhang Yanghao lost the most, and it was all the money he borrowed with great difficulty. "How much?" He turned his head and asked.

Han Ruzi sat on a chair in the corner bored, picked up a piece of paper on the table, and looked at the oil lamp for a while, "Not much, the four young masters add up to just over 6000 taels."

The cash brought by the four of them was not much, and they had already lost it all, and the amount recorded on the paper was all in debt.

A young master punched the mat angrily, and said to Du Chuanyun, "You are cheating!"

"The dice belong to you, how can I cheat? You can show me one instead."

"Come up after Juanhou, we won't play with you anymore." Another young master said.

"When I was on stage, you all said it was okay, but now you're back on your word? Let the Marquis come up instead, okay, let's settle the bill first." Du Chuanyun stretched out a hand, facing the honorable disciple without any fear.

"I'm not going to play anymore. It's Juanhou, what's the deal with a servant?" The third young master stood up.

"You can also ask a servant to roll the dice for you." Du Chuanyun said with a smile.

The three invited sons wanted to leave angrily, and Han Ruzi called them over, "Wait, I don't know the rules, but you have to sign on this paper, or I will ask someone for money in the future go?"

The three stopped and looked at Zhang Yanghao together. Before they came to gamble, they agreed not to reveal their identities, so they didn't even bring in their personal attendants.

"You can just find me, I will guarantee these three sons." Zhang Yanghao said bravely.

"That's good, the three of you go slowly." Han Ruzi clasped his fists to see him off. As soon as the three of them left, he said to Zhang Yanghao, "I didn't expect that I really won. Come on, let's share..."

Zhang Yanghao hurried to the door, glanced out, closed the door, turned around and whispered: "Are you going to kill me?"

"Don't you want money? It's nearly 2000 taels of silver. Although it's not much, you deserve it." Han Ruzi didn't care about the share ratio, and was willing to give Zhang Yanghao [-]%.

These silver coins can almost offset the betting money he lost tonight, but if the three young masters hear about it, he will be in trouble.

"Hehe, why not." Zhang Yanghao walked towards Juanhou slowly, but kept looking at Du Chuanyun, "Where did Juanhou find such a master?"

"I didn't find it. I asked someone in the house who could play dice, and he stood up, so I brought it here." Han Ruzi pointed to the paper on the table, "Can I really get the money back, don't let me be happy for nothing." field."

"Don't worry, everyone is a respectable person, and their family is not short of this little money. It will definitely be sent to the Juanhou Mansion in three days at most. You just need to figure out how to collect it and explain it to the Fu Cheng."

"That's it, let's leave too. To be honest, the win or loss is not big. I thought it was tens of thousands of taels a night." Han Ruzi looked very disappointed.

Zhang Yanghao laughed dryly, "They're here for Juanhou. If you let others play for you, of course they won't be interested."

"I also don't think it's very meaningful. Forget it, after I settle this account, I won't look for you in the future."

"No, Juanhou wants to play big. I can find someone, but they may also find a master to fight."

"I have no objection, you can go find it." Han Ruzi held down the accounting paper, "Anyway, you have to make a bet, it's not that I don't believe you, but it's just such a piece of paper and a bunch of numbers, I hold it in my hand Unreliable."

Zhang Yanghao walked over with a smile, and signed with a pen, "Within three days, this pile of money will be real money."

Zhang Yanghao personally sent the master and servant out.

The gambling place is not far from Baiwang Lane. It is a small cross courtyard of a big mansion. There is a separate door leading to the back alley, which is very hidden.

At the back door of Juanhou Mansion, Zhang Youcai was nervously waiting. Seeing the master returning safely, he let out a sigh of relief, "Just this one time, don't go out at night again."

"It depends." Han Ruzi said with a smile.

When he came to the study, Du Chuanyun said: "I didn't do well today."

"Isn't it enough for you to win? Thirty percent of the money belongs to you."

"Of course not enough. You let me play too early. You should play by yourself tonight. It's okay to lose some money. If you catch their interest, you can win more next time you gamble. Now they are prepared. Next time Either don't play, or find a master."

"Are you afraid of masters?"

"I've never been afraid of anyone when I played dice, but there are indeed a few masters in the capital. I'm not sure that I can win every time. I don't know if I can invite these princes and lords. I'll go out tomorrow to find out."

Du Chuanyun didn't want to stay longer in the study, so he turned and left.

Zhang Youcai served Tired Hou to bed, nagging in a low voice: "The master is very special, he can't always put himself in danger, finally stabilized, there is nothing lacking in the house, the lady is gentle and virtuous..."

"One night, I won almost 3000 taels of silver, and Du Chuanyun 2000 taels."

Zhang Youcai was taken aback, opened and closed his mouth a few times, and said with difficulty: "We don't need this money, do we?"

"It's easy to come by, why don't you? What's more, a little can make a lot. In the future, it will be tens of thousands, tens of thousands of taels!"

"I think..." Zhang Youcai sighed softly, "Master, please rest."

The gambler Juanhou must have disappointed some people, but Han Ruzi couldn't explain much, and he didn't want to explain. Isn't idleness in line with the image of a "faint king"?

Du Chuanyun didn't care about these things, the whole thing was just a game of rivers and lakes for him, he enjoyed it, he spent the whole day outside the mansion inquiring about news, came back in the middle of the night, and asked Juanhou to practice together in the morning , smiled and said: "Everything is going well."

In the afternoon of that day, Zhang Yanghao sent the silver and went to visit directly, but he didn't care about being recorded by the Fu Cheng.

He also sent an invitation: The day after tomorrow is the [-]th birthday of Mrs. Hengyang Hou. His wife is the sister of Emperor Wu, known as "Hengyang Lord", so he invited all the children of the clan to the banquet.

There is something in the family of the noble relatives of the clan, and the Juanhou Mansion has to give gifts according to the rules. This is the first time he has received an invitation, but Han Ruzi noticed that the inscription is not the Marquis of Hengyang or the Lord of Hengyang, but Chai Yun, the regular servant of Sanqi.

Zhang Yanghao explained: "Chai Yun is the grandson of the Marquis of Hengyang. He is the most loved at home and is about the same age as us. Therefore, we invite some people to the banquet alone. There is no need to salute. Let's play our own games. Just arrive at noon when Juanhou arrives."

Zhang Yanghao said goodbye, and the Fucheng was very nervous. No amount of good wine and meat could make him turn a blind eye or close one eye. He immediately went to Zongzheng Mansion to report. In the evening, the only answer he got was "Got it, go back." , not even an official document.

Although he was not at ease in his heart, Zeng Fucheng was finally able to justifiably close one eye.

Du Chuanyun was gearing up to fight again, and everyone in the mansion was happy that Juanhou was invited, except for one person.

Cui Xiaojun noticed that her husband's rest was not as punctual as before, and occasionally she would stay alone in the study for the night. This night, after changing clothes and going to bed, she sat on the bed instead of lying on the bed, wanting to have a good time with her husband. talk about it.

Han Ruzi went to bed later, so he had to sit opposite and said with a smile, "What's the matter? Do you want to practice too?"

Meng E taught a new method, and Han Ruzi spent a little time every day meditating. This kind of thing can't be hidden from his wife.

Cui Xiaojun leaned his legs to one side, definitely not in a meditation posture, and said seriously: "I heard that Lord Hengyang's birthday, Juanhou was also invited."

"That's right, it's the day after tomorrow, aren't you happy?"

"It's not that you're unhappy, it's just...does Juanhou know the Hengyanghou family?"

Han Ruzi shook his head, "I only know that Lord Hengyang is Emperor Wu's sister."

"Prince Hengyang was very prominent back then, and Emperor Huan was able to become the crown prince. It is said that she has made a lot of contributions."

"No wonder she dared to invite me."

"Is it true that Lord Hengyang invited the Marquis of Juan?"

Han Ruzi wanted to pretend to be confused, but after thinking about it, he decided to tell the truth, "It's Chai Yun, the grandson of the Marquis of Hengyang, shouldn't it be the same?"

Cui Xiaojun sighed, "As expected."

"What did you expect?"

"Chai Yun is not a good person."

"You know him?" Han Ruzi was a little surprised.

"I don't know him. My older brothers do. They're all good friends. You can see what kind of character Chai Yun has done by looking at what my older brother has done."

Han Ruzi's heart fell to the ground. His plan is about to succeed. There are many connections between the noble children. In the palace, although the king of the East China Sea intentionally concealed it, he still showed that he was familiar with Zhang Yanghao. Through this line, Han Ruzi believed in himself. Soon I will be able to see the King of the East China Sea again, and find out whether he has any conspiracy.

"What are you laughing at?" Cui Xiaojun asked.

"Am I laughing?" Han Ruzi touched his face.

Cui Xiaojun said seriously: "Don't hide it from me, you intend to contact people like Chai Yun, right?"

"I do want to get in touch with outsiders more, but I haven't taken the initiative to find Chai Yun. He is the one who came to me."

Cui Xiaojun moved forward a little, "Then you have to be more careful, it's better not to go, they are really not good people, you are not the same kind as them."

"I'm not a good person either, aren't you afraid of me?" Han Ruzi liked his wife's serious expression very much, and couldn't help but make a joke.

Cui Xiaojun blushed slightly, and said in a low voice, "You don't even know how to be a bad person..."

Han Ruzi put away his smile, "I have to accept the invitation. The Juanhou Mansion can't stop the 'bad guys'. I have to know what the 'bad guys' really are before I can be prepared."

After all, peace can only be maintained for a while. Cui Xiaojun was disappointed in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She wanted to do everything possible to protect her husband, "My second brother Cui Teng and Chai Yun have the best relationship because they are both the same lunatics. ——" Cui Xiaojun hesitated for a while, "I heard that they have killed people with their own hands, if you insist on accepting the invitation, you must be careful, take Coach Xiaodu with you, and don't let him leave half a step."
