Chapter 42 Multi-party game (6)

Five days later, the latest general to fight against rebellion was announced. Xu Huizu, Duke of Wei, took over, and Guo Ying, the Marquis of Wuding, served as deputy general. The court sent 200,000 troops to Huguang, Liangjiang, and Guangdong, and Guangxi to attack Beiping again.

A discerning person could see that the court was a little helpless, and the number of soldiers was getting smaller and smaller, and the place of recruitment was getting farther and south.

The political and military situation of the empire is becoming increasingly tense, and prices have quietly risen a little, but the people do not feel much. However, the center of the empire's political and economic power still runs, dancing and dancing, making people feel indulgent.

The most prosperous entertainment venues are gathered on Luogu Street, Nancheng in Yingtian City, and the most famous sterling silver signboard of the Yingou Gambling House is shiny.

A big man in brocade walked into the gambling house in a square step. The receptionist who was serving at the door saw the big man, just like a bear who saw honey, his eyes curled up, and he quickly greeted: "Master Huang, are you here, are you going to be a private room on the second floor?" The big man in brocade stroked a white jade pendant hanging on his belt and nodded slightly.

Two guests next to him turned sideways and asked the man in brocade clothes to walk over. One of them said, "This person is so arrogant. Do you know who it is?"

Another person said, "You don't even know him? The new governor of the Jinyiwei Suwei Suwei, Lord Huang Ying, don't look at his small official position, he is under his control, but he is a very arrogant figure!"

Huang Ying ignored these whispers and, under the guidance of the receptionist, walked through the crowd of people shouting and shouting to the second floor. The receptionist asked, "Master Huang, what do you want to play with today?"

Two words popped out of Huang Ying's mouth: "Paijiu."

The structure on the second floor is very exquisite. After turning the small corridor twice, I came to the front of a private room. The eaves shouted "There are guests!" and the door opened. A more advanced eaves inside opened the door and shouted: "The guest is here.

"The responder outside made a gesture of invitation, and then turned his back.

Huang Ying walked into the room and saw three people sitting in the room. He was pushing Paijiu. The short fat man in the lead raised his eyes and took a look. Their eyes were intertwined, and their faces changed suddenly.

Huang Ying snorted, turned around and was about to leave. The fat man inside smiled and said, "What's wrong, are you afraid of Huang Liuting?"

Huang Ying's face looked even more ugly, and his eagle-eyed gaze shot on the fat man and could even kill people. He also snorted: "Shopkeeper Xiong, why do you want to play with me?"

This shopkeeper Xiong is the owner of the four-way carriage in Beijing. His surname is Xiong Mingdu. Since he bought thirty four-wheeled carriages from Liaodong three years ago, his business has become increasingly bigger and bigger. This person is not easy to drink or prostitute.

That's all, so Yingou Gambling became the place where he lingers the most.

The same is true for this Huang Ying. The best thing is to gambling. But these two are enemies, and they fight each time they sit together and gamble. It’s just that Huang Ying’s skills are obviously better than those with the surname Xiong, so they win more and lose less.

But a few days ago, the two of them bet a game, and Xiong Duxiao won 200 taels of silver, so when they saw Huang Ying today, they spoke a little proud.

Huang Ying found a chair to sit down. The next receptionist immediately brought tea and hand towels. Huang Ying took out a bag from her clothes, and there was a lot of silver inside. She threw it on the table and said, "Discount."

Manager Xiong was a banker, threw dice and knocked everyone down with a pie. The first hand came up, Huang Ying grabbed a pair of plum blossoms and a pair of red nines.

This is a good card; Xiong Du has two small cards in his hand, so Huang Ying naturally won easily. One of the two idle players next to him got a smaller card, and the dealer lost two and won one. In the next few games, Xiong Du's dealer was still not strong and lost both inside and outside.

When he broke the banker, Huang Ying had already had twenty taels of silver in front of him.

The four people just touched and pushed each other, and soon one of them lost nearly 100 taels of silver, shook his head and stood up and left. At this time, Huang Ying had won more than 100 taels of silver. Since Huang Ying came.

Xiong Du's luck was a little bad. Not only did he lose the money that had won the two of them just now, but he lost dozens of taels of silver. But these differences were nothing to the shopkeeper Xiong, and he still had a slight smile on his face.

The three of them played for another half an hour, and the other one lost nearly 200 taels of silver, so they stood up and said goodbye. In the private room, only Xiong Du and Huang Ying were left to bet.

Huang Ying won a few more times, and Xiong Du couldn't sit still. Yingtian in June and July was the hottest day of the year. Although the two men were being fucked by the side, the fat Xiong Du was still sweating profusely.

He took a sip of sour plum soup, wiped the sweat from his face and said, "Mr. Huang, why not improve our bets on each hand?"

Huang Ying smiled slightly: "How old does that shopkeeper Xiong want to play?"

Xiong Du said: "Two hundred taels per hand!"

Huang Ying saw that he had about 500 taels of capital and profit on hand and said, "Whatever you want, come and deal with the license."

Today's cards are particularly evil. Basically, Huang Ying won three games, and Xiong Du won one game back.

There were several times when Xiongdu's land cards were good, but Huang Ying was only a little bit older. Soon Huang Ying won another 2,000 taels of silver. Xiongdu's cash silver had already lost all, and there was still a 1,000 taels of silver here.

Huang Ying smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Xiong, your luck is a bit bad today. It's better to come back another day."

Xiong Du's face was a little rosy, and he took out another silver note for the Liaodong bill from his arms, with the words "two thousand taels" on it, and a few words broke out from his mouth: "One more bet, one hand will determine the winner or lose."

Huang Ying looked a little surprised at the moment, but then she turned into a smile again. She looked at the silver in front of her and said, "Shopkeeper Xiong, you don't seem to have enough money."

Xiong Du gritted his teeth and pulled down the piece of Hetian Baiyu with a bang hanging from his waist, threw it on the table, and said, "This is the thing from Qian Song, it's worth 800 taels of silver no matter how it is."

Huang Ying smiled slightly and threw the silver note to the receptionist next to him. The receptionist picked up the silver note and looked carefully, nodding to Huang Ying.

Xiong Du was so angry that his eyes turned red and slapped the table: "Damn, you don't go to this Sijiu City to inquire. When did I, Lao Xiong, have used fake silver notes?"

Huang Ying ignored him, threw the dice to Taichung, and then dealt the cards. Xiong Du picked up the cards in his hand, flipped them quickly, and saw light coming out of his eyes. Huang Ying picked up his card and looked at it, then calmly put it down.

Xiong Du opened his mouth and stared at Huang Ying tightly and said, "Sometimes you can be lucky all night, but there is always a chance to turn the table around." As he said that, he slapped the two pairs of cards on the table with great enthusiasm and opened it.

The eunuch next to him widened his eyes and saw that my goodness was a pair of "sky cards" and a pair of "land cards". This is what people who play Pai Jiudi want to catch the big card in their dreams.

Xiong Du stood up, reached out to put his hand on the silver on the table and said, "He is Huang Liu, Lord Huang, Cheng Ren Cheng Ren."

A dark big hand suddenly pressed on Xiong Du's hand. "Shopkeeper Xiong, what are you anxious about?" Huang Ying's eagle showed a strange smile on her face.

With his other hand, he slowly turned on the two pairs of Pai Jiu made of Hetian Moyu on the table. The first pair was white, two red, and four red, and two white. The second pair was white, one white, two white. The responder screamed: "Supreme Treasure!"

Xiong Du rubbed his eyes and looked carefully at the four cards. There was no doubt that it was the best "Supreme Treasure" of Paijiu Middle School - all-in-one. Xiong Du was so excited that he fell down on the chair.

Huang Ying laughed and hugged all the silver ingots and silver notes on the table, folded the silver notes and put them in his arms with the jade pendant. The silver was beaten with a bag and carried it on his shoulders.

Then he left ten taels of money and threw a ingot of silver worth five taels to the responder next to him and said, "Go, call a car for Manager Xiong! By the way, it's better to hire a doctor for him." As he said that, he laughed and turned around and went out.

Huang Ying came out of the door. It was already the first time that the first update. The contact had already led his mount over. He flew onto the horse. With a clamp of the horse's belly, the good horse rushed out quickly.

When Huang Ying returned home, he did not agree to his wife's call him for dinner. He just got into the inner room alone, lit the lamp, and took out the jade piece from his arms. He pressed the golden cicada on it hard and flipped it. His bangs bounced away.

Huang Ying shook, and a roll of paper fell out. He slowly opened the roll of paper, and there were two lines of small characters written on it. The words were inconsistent with the following words, and it was impossible to understand the meaning at all when he saw it.

Huang Ying pulled a book "The Three Kingdoms Review" from the head of the bed and then according to the rules, the real information of the note was issued one by one: "Keep paying attention to the daily daily life of the figure No. 2 and 4, waiting to carry out the Dongfeng Break Action, Sanhong.

01"The text in front represents the task; "Three Reds" represent the task level. Here it represents the most top-level task; 01 is a special symbol representing numbers, meaning that the command is issued by the highest-level figure in the organization.

Huang Ying finally understood. Why there was such a big bet today is all because of this three-red level task. What kind of action is Dongfengpo, and it requires the highest-level figure to personally deploy it.

Huang Ying stopped thinking and put the note on the candle with a serious expression to burn it to ashes.

...

Shortly after Huang Ying left the gambling house, Xiong Du was also helped out by two family members. The news that he lost no less than 4,000 taels of silver in the big bet just now had spread in the gambling house.

Those gamblers either envy Huang Ying's luck or laugh at Xiong Du's unluckyness.

The gambling house is a hotel. People who are tired of gambling and hungry eat and drink here. When they have enough supplements, they will continue to fight in the front hall. This is the climax of the gambling game. There are very few people eating here, only one table and three people are drinking and chatting.

A businessman with a fair face whispered to his partner: "Have you heard of it? This is God who wants to punish God!"

A yellow-faced businessman next to him looked surprised and said, "Shopkeeper Zhang, don't talk nonsense, this is going to lose his head."

Zhang Manager Zhang said: "Wen Weng Zhou, who would have believed this matter if it weren't for the evil sentiment? Look at the fire at Chengtian Gate and Duke Cao's miserable defeat almost at the same time. Isn't this a sign from God?"

On the other side, a young man with a hat said worriedly: "Why does God punish today?"

Manager Zhang looked around and took a sip of wine and said, "Forget it, forget it, say these are going to be lost."

The young man said anxiously: "Tell me quickly, there are only three of us brothers here. If you said that, no fourth person would know."

The surname Zhou Di also said, "Lao Zhang, don't keep it a secret, talk about it quickly."

Manager Zhang sighed and pressed his voice to the lowest point and said, "Oh, okay, today, today, you must not spread the word, otherwise you will lose your head. Is there something you still remember? In the 25th year of Hongwu, Prince Yiwen died.

Yes, that time. I heard that Emperor Hongwu had the idea of ​​changing this to the prince back then. "When he said "this", he stretched out his right hand and gestured with four fingers.

Seeing the two nodded, he said again: "It was just that the late emperor was blinded by the fake loyalty and filial piety (who said and pointed it with his finger) at that time, so he signed that person.

Later, when Emperor Hongwu was ill, he saw through the unfaithful and unfilial face of the man, and wanted to change this as the crown prince again, and secretly ordered him to go to the capital. Who knew that the man knew about this? He actually poisoned Emperor Hongwu to death, and then hurriedly buried and ascended the throne.

Do you remember that the first emperor was buried in the tomb just seven days after he was stopped. This is not in line with the emperor's courtesy. Why? Isn't it just that I am afraid of showing my strength?"

The Zhou surnamed said: "I remember it, it seems that something is really wrong. The last emperor died a few days ago and returned to the tomb just after his death."

Zhang Manager Zhang said, "Yes, actually, at that time, this person had already arrived in Yangzhou under the secret order. But he was intercepted by the troops.

Think about it, if there is no problem, why don’t you let your son attend the funeral? Are you still afraid that this person will go to Beijing to compete for the throne? For the sake of the people, this person is unwilling to fight with the same family, so he can only shed tears by the Yangtze River and look at the capital city with three kneeling and nine kowtows.

The real emperor should be this, not that person! You said, if this is not the case, why should God punish that person?" The two friends thought about this and thought it was really reasonable. They nodded one after another.

What else did the young man want to say? Two people pushed the door open and shouted: "My man, hurry up and put two bowls of Yangchun noodles, hurry up. Don't miss the man's luck." Manager Zhang quickly winked, and the three of them picked up the wine glasses again.

...

As soon as Xiong Du got home, a brightly dressed middle-aged man was waiting for him in the doorman. When Xiong Du saw this person, his expression changed and he left the two followers away. He bowed and said, "Shopkeeper Wu, what wind has blown you. Please come inside quickly.

"As he said that, he accompanied Manager Wu to the inner hall.

The two of them were separated by the host and the guest. Manager Wu was not astonishing as he was wearing two small beards and couldn't tell when he threw them in the crowd. He bowed and said, "You forgot that in April, you ordered sixty Shenyang horses?"

Xiong Du said, "Ah. I remember, I remember, I have opened several new routes and needed horses. I didn't expect it to be delivered so soon." As he was speaking, the servant had already served tea. Xiong Du waved his hand to let the servant go out.

When there was no one in the room, Xiong Du quickly knelt down: "I'm paying homage to Lord Qianhu."

"Shopkeeper Wu" said: "Get up."

Xiong Du got up and said, "Why do you need the Qianhu to take action yourself?"

Manager Wu said: "This matter is very important. From now on, all the spies in Nanjing will be mobilized. The superiors are afraid that you will be alone and will be alone. I specially sent me to prepare in advance. I heard that there are big figures coming to take charge later."

Xiong Du was shocked. Manager Wu, who was the core of the organization, had asked him to take charge of the work. And there were big figures behind him who did not appear, which shows that this action was quite impressive.

Asked: "What kind of action is it to spend so much money on Dongfeng this time and use such a large amount of manpower and material resources."

Manager Wu looked at it with a sharp look: "Don't ask a word that shouldn't be asked. Our friendship is friendship, and rules are rules. Are you not afraid of 01 slandering you? To be honest, until now, I don't know the core content of the action."

Xiong Du's face changed and then returned to normal, and bowed, "I can save it."

Manager Wu said: "This time I brought 60 Shenyang horses, all of which were prepared for the action. These horses are all treasure horses that are selected from a hundred miles away. They are kept in your carriage and horse carriage. You can listen to them at any time and don't make any mistakes."

Sixty horses in Shenyang were worth 6,000 taels of silver. Xiong Du knew the pros and cons, so he quickly agreed. Manager Wu didn't stay long, and after handing over the horse, he said goodbye and left.

The rumors about Jianwen usurping the throne were very eye-catching, and quickly spread in the capital, causing panic among the people in the four nine cities. The court was even more furious and asked the Jinyiwei to search for the capital, so that the rumor-making people would be found.
