Chapter 402 Opportunity

(Please recommend, please give me a monthly ticket)

In ancient my country, the legislation was important in governing officials and gambling, and it was the first feudal code "The Book of Laws".: 3w. By the Han Dynasty, the Han Law still retained this law, severely punishing officials who participated in gambling and vacancies to the princes and kings.

Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, made it even more "decisive" and stipulated that officials who participated in gambling must "cut off their skills". The "Ming Law" stipulates that officials who participated in gambling were punished with "first class" and were punished. As the reserve officers of the Imperial College, they would be dismissed for the people for gambling, and would be cut off from their careers.

From this we can see that ancient times were not as good as those in film and television dramas, with officials hugging each other and swaggeringly entering and leaving the gambling workshop.

Although it was the late Ming Dynasty, the court's principles were corrupt and the laws were not strict, as the Jinyiwei, he could not win 1,500 taels of silver from the gambling house so casually.

Luo Tai didn't know the saying that official gambling was punished. But through Liu Meiniang's smug smile, he could see that the woman did not deceive him.

He turned his head and whispered to Ding Xiu, "Wait for me here." After saying that, he jumped to the second floor with a few steps. Liu Meiniang saw Luo Tai's agile steps and knew that this man's martial arts skills were not weak. She covered her mouth with a scarf and smiled, then waved her hand to point at the room and said, "Please!"

Luo Tai was not vague. He carried him into the room with his hands. The room looked like a woman's boudoir. The room was soft and fragrant like jade, brocade silk, and the style was like the jasper of the small family in Jiangnan.

There was a round table in the middle of the house, and there were several round stools next to it. Luo Tai was not polite, so he raised his butt and sat down. Liu Meiniang brought the cup full of tea to Luo Tai, then sat on the round stool opposite and said, "Please use tea by the guest."

Luo Tai did not serve the cup. Instead, he asked: "How do you know that I am the Jinyiwei?"

Liu Meiniang smiled and said, "You are here in plain clothes. Ordinary people can't tell you are on the job. However, your pair of official boots reveal your identity. The Jinyiwei of the Fufu Department wears special soap boots. Ordinary people cannot wear them, let alone the passing merchant you call yourself."

Luo Tai looked at his boots, then nodded and said, "The girl is indeed very good at seeing her. She is worthy of being the boss of the biggest bet shop in Beijing. Since that's the case, I don't have to hide it. Below is Shen Lian, the chief banner of the Pacification Department. Because I have been a little tight recently, I went to the treasure land to touch my luck."

"Hahaha." Liu Meiniang smiled tremblingly, "Mr. Shen is really interesting. I haven't heard that the one who can win 1,500 taels of silver by trying his luck."

Luo Tai shook his head and continued, "I heard from Boss Liu that I am cheating?"

"That's not the case. If you can't tell me, Zhang Qianyu can tell at a glance. I think Lord Shen relies on his real skills." Liu Meiniang said.

Luo Tai said, "Since that's the case, then I should be able to leave." As he said that, he slowly stood up.

Liu Meiniang didn't look up, but just slowly sipped the tea, and then said, "If I tell the hundred households of the Pacification Department about this, I don't know if your flying fish suit can still be kept?"

"What do you want, Boss Liu? Could it be that I can't take away this thousand five hundred taels?" Luo Tai said firmly.

"It's okay to take it away, but I want to ask Lord Shen to win back 3,000 taels from our store." Liu Meiniang said slowly.

"Help you win three thousand taels?" Luo Tai walked in the room and said slowly: "If I helped you win three thousand taels, you still seize the handle of my official bet. Then, you can report to Zhang Baihu. What can I do?"

Liu Meiniang put down the teacup, raised her legs and smiled, "Although I, Liu Meiniang, is a woman, I know the word "trust". If I were a person who was untrustworthy, how could I do such a big bet in the capital?"

Luo Tai looked at Liu Meiniang and said, "It seems that I can't agree today?"

Liu Meiniang looked at Luo Tai with a smile. Her expression seemed to be saying, "I'm sure you will be able to take care of you."

"Okay." Luo Tai said after thinking about it for a while: "But it's not now. I'll decide the specific time. I'll help you win back 3,000 taels within two months."

Liu Meiniang frowned slightly and thought about it, then nodded slowly and said, "Okay, okay. Anyway, I know how to find you, and you won't run away even if you measure it."

Rotera opened the door and said, "I always count on my words and said goodbye."

After leaving the gambling house, Luo Tai threw back five hundred taels of silver to Ding Xiu and said, "You owe me a life. Remember it now. Don't leave the capital for the time being. If you have any trouble in the future, I will use you at any time."

Ding Xiu was completely impressed by Luo Tai at this moment. This Jinyiwei was not only very skilled in martial arts, but also had no other skills. He was also affectionate and loyal, so it was a good choice to follow him.

"Don't worry, Lord Shen. Ding Xiu will listen to you in the future." Ding Xiu said with his fists.

"Goodbye!" Luo Tai said with his fists, then turned around and left.

He returned to his residence, packed the 1,500 taels of silver notes, then changed into a flying fish suit, put on an embroidered spring knife, tied his cloak, and came to the yamen of the Fushi Office.

Like in the movie, this morning, Lu Jianxing was turned away from Zhang Ying, a hundred households. It turned out that Zhang Baihu did not take Lu Jianxing seriously at all. The fact that he had a shortage of 10 households seemed to be out of date.

He returned to the dormitory dejectedly and met Luo Tai and Jin Yichuan.

"Brother, how are you?" Jin Yichuan asked.

Luo Tai shook his head and said, "You will know that there is no chance when you see your elder brother."

Lu Jianxing walked to the chair and sat down and looked at the two of them and said, "The second brother is right. Zhang Ying didn't take me seriously at all. It seems that the vacancies are over again this time."

Jin Yichuan sighed and shook his head helplessly.

Luo Tai walked a few steps in the house with an embroidered spring knife, and then said, "These people will not show off their eagles without seeing rabbits, and they will not spit out bones without eating people. They will not be able to make up for the white silver they can't see."

Lu Jianxing leaned on the back of the chair with a sad face. What he lacked the most now was silver.

"Brother, don't worry." Luo Tai walked up to him and said, "I have already got the money."

"Oh?" Lu Jianxing and Jin Yichuan were both stunned.

Luo Tai told the two of them all the things that happened in the gambling workshop. After hearing this, the two sighed. They did not expect Luo Tai to have such superb gambling skills. But they were more worried about Luo Tai.

"Second brother, how many times have I said, don't hurt you and Yichuan because of my promotion. Now you are involved in the official gambling, and Liu Meiniang is caught by the handle... This." Lu Jianxing shook his head and said.

"Don't worry, brother, Liu Meiniang won't tell the tutoring department about this for the time being. At least she won't do this until I help her win the money back, and that would not do her at all. We will use her silver first to make you a hundred households, and we will talk about what happened in the future. Besides, the silver in the gambling house was "dedicated" by dignitaries, and the silver from these people was just for use." Luo Tai patted Lu Jianxing's shoulder and said.

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard someone in the tutoring yard shouting: "All gather. Welcome Eunuch Zhao!"

Hulala, the doors of each dormitory opened, and neatly dressed Jinyiwei rushed out. After coming to the yard, they quickly formed a team.

"Squeak and twist!!!" The gate of the peace department slowly opened.

Zhao Jingzhong (played by Nie Yuan in the movie) walked in slowly. Zhao Jingzhong was young and handsome. He was a popular person next to the newly ascended emperor Chongzhen. The tutoring department did not dare to neglect it.

At the front of the queue, Zhang Ying, a hundred households wearing white flying fish suits, bowed with both fists and said, "Zhang Ying, the tutoring department, and welcomed Eunuch Zhao with all the Jinyiwei."

Zhao Jingzhong waved his hand and signaled Zhang Ying to give up his favor. Then he said, "I heard that you took Xu Xianchun, the eunuch party yesterday?"

"That's right." Zhang Ying smiled and said, "The submission has been handed over. Now Xu Xianchun is imprisoned in the prison."

Zhao Jingzhong nodded and continued to ask: "Who is the Jinyiwei who took Xu Xianchun's specific enemy yesterday?"

"This?" Zhang Ying's eyes rolled, thinking that Eunuch Zhao might want to support these people, let's be honest. He gave me some advantage and deceived Eunuch Zhao and said it was me. It was not appropriate. Eunuch Zhao asked this directly as soon as he came, obviously he had a clear idea.

Seeing Zhang Ying hesitating, Zhao Jingzhong lowered his face and said, "What? Do you still want to hide it from me? The Jinyiwei who arrested Xu Xianchun is all pillars of the court. Do the hundred households want to hide the meritorious people and give the pillars of the court no chance to display their talents? In that case, I think the emperor will be angry."

Sweat was oozing from Zhang Ying's forehead, and the hat was too big. However, Lu Jianxing and Jin Yichuan in the queue showed smiles, only Luo Tai had a gloomy face, and he looked unhappy.

"I don't dare." Zhang Ying hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "There are three people, Lu Jianxing, Shen Lian, and Jin Yichuan." After that, he turned to everyone and said, "You three are not out yet to listen to Eunuch Zhao's hearing?"

Hearing this, everyone made way. Lu Jianxing, Luo Tai, and Jin Yichuan walked out.

Seeing the three of them’s tough bodies, Zhao Jingzhong nodded with satisfaction. He then said, “You three, come with me, and the others are waiting outside.”

The three of them and Zhao Jingzhong walked into the inner room of the tutoring department, while the others were left outside the yard. Zhang Ying showed an envious and jealous expression. He thought to himself, mom, if I had known this, I would have gone in person last night, and such a good opportunity was given to the three of them.

After entering the inner room, Zhao Jingzhong did not talk nonsense, but said directly: "When did Wei Zhongxian escape from the capital?"

Lu Jianxing clasped his fists and said, "It was early in the morning."

"You set out now, when will you catch up with him?" Zhao Jingzhong continued.

Lu Jianxing replied: "If Ma Hurry, I will catch up with him in Fucheng County in the middle of the night."

Zhao Jingzhong looked at the three of them, then smiled and said, "Very good, you three are there. This is an opportunity, do you understand? The emperor wants Wei Zhongxian to die!"

After saying that, he walked out of the inner room without looking back, and then left the peace department...

Just when Lu Jianxing and Jin Yichuan were happy, Luo Tai's heart sank. Because in the movie, the destined tragic fate of the three brothers began with this "opportunity" given by Zhao Jingzhong!!

Now Luo Tai has traveled here, but he still has not been able to get rid of this "opportunity"!

What was Zhao Jingzhong's conspiracy during this opportunity? Luo Tai knew best about this... The emperor's true intention was to capture Wei Zhongxian back to the capital, and he did not want to kill him, at least not now.

Why did Zhao Jingzhong have to kill him? That is because Zhao Jingzhong is Wei Zhongxian's adopted son, which means that Zhao Jingzhong himself is also a member of Wei Zhongxian's political group. No one knows this, this is Zhao Jingzhong's secret.

Therefore, if he is afraid of being exposed, he must kill Wei Zhongxian, and the dead will not betray him. After killing Wei Zhongxian, Zhao Jingzhong will inevitably kill the three brothers Lu Jianxing.

What if Wei Zhongxian is not killed? Then Wei Zhongxian will definitely steal back to the capital to find Zhao Jingzhong. The two will reach a certain transaction, and the premise of this transaction must be to kill the insider first - Lu Jianxing and the other three.

In other words, whether they kill Wei Zhongxian or not, all three of them will die!
