This kid is so cunning, why is the market closed at noon?
Zhou Shun didn't react for a moment, and immediately turned to look at Gu Erzhu, who was sitting next to him.
Gu Erzhu slapped his forehead.
"Dad, daddy?"
"Where is the whip? What we Sanya said is that there is a casino opening, which county will be the first in the county this year, and the prefecture will be the first in this year. Don't you know about this?" Gu Erzhu couldn't help laughing.
Zhou Shun really didn't know. Even though he came to Fucheng every year before, he came to see his Sanya. He didn't know that there was a casino where scholars bet.
Even this time, he came much earlier than Gu Erzhu, but the child came to take the government examination, so he basically stayed in the rented courtyard.
Occasionally I would go out for a meal, drink tea or something like that, or go and see if there was anyone I could help with when Master Sanya moved his grave.
"Can you still make money from the casino?" Zhou Shun asked Gu Erzhu cautiously. He didn't gamble, but it was his Sanya who said this, and he was inexplicably moved.
Gu Erzhu laughed.
Zhou Shushun kicked him angrily, "Can you fix it?"
"No! This is not a bet, this is an elegant matter." Zhou Banxia gave the two fathers an idea, "We don't want to play big, so we will take Brother Liulang and the county chief named Zhang Changbai into custody.
Our Lord of the Palace may be afraid of being accused of being pro-business. Seeing that his term of office is about to expire, he wants to change his focus to agriculture. Last year, he appointed a civilian student studying farming as the head of the government.
Especially at this juncture, Master Gao has been promoted, Boss Zhao has been promoted, and Master Zhou is still here.
I thought that among the county chiefs, Liu Langge and Zhang Changbai were students from the Gengdu family and were the most likely to become the county chiefs this year. ”
Before Zhou Banxia could finish her words, Zhou Shushun immediately stood up and took out his money bag, "Okay, I will listen to my daughter. How much do you want to deposit? Is one tael of silver enough?"
Zhou Banxia was speechless and grabbed her father's money bag, "Who are you looking down on? I bet your uncle as much as you have. If you lose, I will compensate you."
Gu Erzhu laughed.
"Dad, where are you going?" Zhou Banxia hurriedly stopped him, "We can't show our faces. Just take out your money bag and let Uncle Chang go there secretly."
Too.
Gu Erzhu tried his best to hold back his laughter and neatly took out his money bag, "Yes, what were the odds on your Brother Liulang before, and what are the odds this morning?"
"Dad!" Zhou Banxia looked shocked, "I will complain to my mother, you actually understand this. The earliest was five for one, but this morning only one was for three."
"How dare you!" Gu Erzhu said with a smile, "You are a smart man, so let's change it. It seems that many people think highly of you, Brother Liulang."
"No, I have good information about opening a gambling house, and my methods are high.
Three days ago, a county case leader named Lin Yangwen was introduced through false pretenses.
It is said that this person is also a businessman, so he has the same life experience as Mr. Fu Zun, and he only set the lowest odds of one to three early in the morning.
A while ago it was changed to 1 for 2, and yesterday it was changed to 1 for 1.
Now among the county's chief criminals, this person has the greatest reputation, and he has the most number of fools on his case.
I just didn’t expect that Brother Lian Liulang would only pay three for one this morning.
It’s my fault that Brother Liulang should be tight these two days, stop laughing outside, and let me make a profit first——”
In the middle of speaking, Zhou Banxia clapped his lips and smiled.
At this moment, even Gu Erzhu couldn't bear it anymore and reached out to pat her on the head. Zhou Banxia, who was attacked by the two fathers, ran away with her head in her arms, grabbing two money bags.
As a supplement, forty taels of silver each, she asked the new steward Gu Dachang to go to her old place to escort Gu Wenxuan and Zhang Changba to the head of the case on her behalf.
Gu Dachang was the head of a family she had just bought in Fucheng during this period. He had a similar experience to Yu Cai, as the previous owner also moved away.
The difference is that Gu Dachang, who was originally a long-term follower, was sent by his former master to be the housekeeper of the outer chamber. This year, the outer chamber was sold by the main wife, and his family could not escape.
Zhang Dazhuang originally knew Gu Dachang, and knew that Gu Dachang and his wife were involuntarily involved, so he helped Gu Dachang ask Zhou Banxia if he wanted to buy it.
Seeing that this family was okay and willing to stay in Qinghe Village, Zhou Banxia selected their family and changed their names to Gu according to their wishes.
After observing and testing for half a month, they slowly handed over some matters that were inconvenient to come forward to the couple, including the recent purchase of people and placement in Zhuangzi outside the city.
After all, through Zhang Dazhuang's introduction, she purchased a farm of nearly 300 acres outside the city near Zhuangzi, where the Shunyi Escort Agency is located.
As for why he didn't think twice about going next to Shunyi Zhuangzi, it was because he didn't want to be far away. He wanted Yun Chengming's escort to have someone to keep an eye on him when he passed by.
"How much was deposited?" When I saw my daughter coming back on Thursday, I couldn't help but ask, "You're not really depositing all the banknotes in our wallets, are you?"
"You bet as much as you want. If you lose, I'll pay for it. Are you still reluctant to part with it?" Zhou Banxia stretched out his hands from behind and returned the two money bags.
Hiss, this kid!
Zhou Shun knew that his in-laws had the same bank note in their money bag, but they didn’t know the denomination, but the bank notes in both bags were missing.
Zhou Shun refused to say anything, and Gu Erzhu also knew that his parents regretted hearing about their child's distress, so he smiled narrowly and said, "I hid the banknote a long time ago."
"Huh?"
"You don't know?" Gu Erzhu looked puzzled, "Didn't I wink at you at first? When the child was making tea for us, didn't I keep winking at you?"
If he hadn't said the last sentence, Zhou Shun would have really believed it, "Who am I fooling? Sanya hadn't mentioned anything about the handicap at that time.
Next, should we go sit in front for a while? ”
"Yes." Gu Erzhu stretched his head and took a look at the sky outside. "I just went to sit for a while. After eating, we will go to the other side of the examination room together. Has the food been prepared early?"
Zhou Banxia nodded hurriedly, "We can eat anytime these days, and there are people guarding the small kitchen behind us.
Also, after noon, Dr. Chang would also wait at the other side of the examination booth. ”
Doctor Chang is the doctor in Mr. Zhou's house.
Gu Erzhu knew that Zhou Banxia was here, so he didn't need to worry about anything unarranged. He just wanted to ask something because he was in a hurry.
"It's just, Dad, you don't have to go so early, right? Didn't Brother Liulang and Ojiang say that this time is different from the county exam, and Master Fu Zun doesn't like the candidates to leave too early?"
Look, the benefits are here again.
Not to mention that they are from the villagers, they are from Baiju. Not only do they know that the county magistrate does not care about the candidates waiting in the examination booth until the last one comes out, but they also know that handing in the paper early this time will be regarded by the magistrate as not caring about the examination. If it’s not good, the examiner, Mr. Fu Zun, might not be happy.
At this time, the advantage of having someone behind you is revealed.
For example, this time.
With Mr. Zhou's advice, compared to ordinary candidates, Liu Lang and Dajiang of his family not only took advantage of the elders, but also the children who took the exam together. (End of chapter)
