Chapter 706 – Central Bureau

An Zheng stood there and looked at the little fellow who was nodding his head. When he was about to exchange the house for another three thousand silver, he suddenly stopped being angry. Some people always say that flies do not bite into seamless eggs, this is nonsense, because most of the time, flies are strong enough to smash open the eggshell. You think your line of defense is strong enough, but it isn’t.

For example, it could be said that this little fellow couldn’t resist the temptation to be pulled down into the mud step by step. Of course, he had a certain amount of responsibility, but it was sufficient to say one thing … A disaster could befall you at any time.

Once you’re caught in it, how hard is it to get out?

An Zheng turned around and left. It was not that he didn’t want to save this little fellow, it was just that he didn’t want to save the family that was about to be destroyed. However, saving him wasn’t as simple as rushing over to give him a good beating.

An Zheng acted as if nothing had happened and went back to the auction house. The servant must have found a place to wash his face, so An Zheng was unable to see anything wrong. However, the glint in her eyes could not escape An Zheng’s eyes. An Zheng didn’t ask anything and didn’t tell Niu Zhong about this either. Niu Zhong waighteous person, he would not use those methods to deal with bad people. He might really use the money to help the young man get through this difficult situation. After all, with his status, the commission he received was already high enough.

However, that was a bottomless pit, and this little fellow was basically crippled, unable to be saved.

He chatted with Niu Zhong at the auction for a long time, appraised a few treasures and bought a few. These few prices that An Zheng gave were very fair, the reason why An Zheng bought them was simply because he wanted to continue raising the level of his Broken Army Sword.

After leaving the auction house, An Zheng called Du Xu over to his residence and gave him some instructions. After Du Xu finished listening, his eyes lit up and patted his chest.

At night, the clerk at the auction house was already sitting in front of Du Xu.

In the restaurant, Du Xu handed over a silver note worth ten thousand silver, “My owner will settle this matter for you, so you don’t need to worry about who my owner is. As for how I know you are doing this, you don’t need to worry either. However, there is one thing that I cannot give you for free. ”

Du Xu then took out a note worth five thousand silver, “This is five thousand gold, I will give it to you. “Not only do I give it to you, I also want you to take the silver to the casino called Master Zheng’s. It doesn’t matter if you lose.”

The little boy’s face turned pale, “Master, I don’t know you. What are you trying to do?”

Although he looked terrified, his eyes were still fixed on the fifteen thousand taels of silver banknotes. Du Xu did not doubt that this shop assistant could not hold on anymore, he could snatch the banknotes from him in the next second. This person was already crippled. He might not even use fifteen thousand taels of silver to repay his debt, and might even gamble on it.

“First, take me to the casino. Say that I am a relative of one of the employees of your auction house and my family is very rich. Secondly, I will teach you what to say. If you say something wrong, not only will I take the silver back, I will also kill you. “You can ignore it, but I can tell you this, that Master Zheng is nothing in my eyes.”

The shop assistant grabbed the banknotes and said, “Sure!”

At night, Du Xu brought Ye Xiaoxin and the shop assistant to Master Zheng’s casino. It wasn’t much of a place, in a dark alley. As they were brought in by their acquaintances, they did not receive much obstruction when they entered. After entering the shop, the shop assistant left alone to find Master Zheng.

Ten minutes later, Master Zheng and the shop assistant returned with big smiles on their faces.

“Master Du, it’s really our luck to invite a great Bodhisattva like you to a small place like this. Please come in quickly, I’ll make you some tea.”

Du Xu waved his hand with disgust: “Xiao Xu didn’t even open the door when he said it, he said that this is a big occasion and I thought it was the property of some big shot’s family. This place is dirty and smelly, and I’m not interested. “This grandson, Xiao Xu, had a strong temper. After playing for a while in the afternoon and winning over ten thousand taels of silver, he felt guilty and said that he would bring me here to make a comeback. Let’s forget about it, this crappy place.”

Master Zheng quickly said, “Master Du, our place might look small, but it’s a different world. If you want to play around, come with me.”

Master Zheng led the way in front while Du Xu followed behind with an impatient expression. The more he looked, the more disgusted he was. Master Zheng smiled along. “You can just call me Zheng Lihai from now on, I have the final say in this casino. “In the future, come here often to play and guarantee that you will win big money.”

He pushed open a secret door. There really was another world inside. Although it wasn’t too big, the decorations were luxurious. There were seven or eight people playing inside, and each of them was accompanied by two beautiful ladies. There was not a single bit of silver on the table. It was all banknotes. Da Xi’s life was extremely rich. Even for those who were unable to cultivate, there were many who were rich. In a strong and stable country, there would always be many people who would succeed under their wings.

Du Xu looked at the cards on the table and could not help but snort, “Such a childish thing.”

The servant Xiao Xu glanced at Zheng Lihai, who gave him a meaningful glance. Xiao Xu led the divinity and went up to say: “Master Du, we are here too, why not play a little? What if I win? ”

“What if he wins?”

Du Xu frowned: “You mean that I lack money?”

Xiao Xu quickly nodded his head and bowed as he said: “Master Du, look at what you’re saying. My meaning is that since we’re already here, we might as well play for a while.”

Du Xu was moved by his words and he mustered up his courage to sit down. In the end, after playing a few rounds, he actually won, and it was not a small one either. Du Xu took his leave, and Zheng Lihai courteously sent him out. Just as he was about to leave, Zheng Lihai pulled Little Xu and fiercely whispered in his ear: “If this fat bird doesn’t come next time, I’ll kill you and sell your sister to the brothel!”

Xiao Xu quickly nodded, patting his chest and making his promise.

As expected, Xiao Xu brought Du Xu over after a day. This time, Du Xu’s luck didn’t seem to be too good. He only lost thirty thousand silver in half a day, spoke of his unlucky fate, turned around and left. After he left, Zheng Lihai flew intage and scolded his subordinates.

“Such a fat bird, it only came for the second time, how the hell did I teach you?”

“My lord, it’s not that we acted fast, it’s that guy’s luck is really too bad. I purposefully gave myself a small card, but in the end his mother was too evil and too small!”

After that, Du Xu didn’t even come for a few days, so Zheng Lihai couldn’t help but look for Xiao Xu again. Xiao Xu said witroubled face, “Master Zheng, it’s not that I don’t want to take him. He said that your place is very strange and his cards are always too small. No matter what I say, he won’t go. “Why don’t you give me a few more days, and I’ll try to persuade you.”

Zheng Lihai had no other choice but to agree. Xiao Xu could be considered capable, he had brought Du Xu away after two days. In the end, not even two hours had passed, and Du Xu had lost another ten thousand silver taels. Zheng Lihai scolded one of his subordinates harshly, then went to look for Little Xu. In the end, Little Xu told him that Master Du had lost two times in a row, and didn’t even go to look for Little Xu anymore. How about this, since this guy has plenty of money, you go play at his house?

At first, Zheng Lihai didn’t dare to agree. After interacting with Xiao Xu a few times, he asked his about Du Xu’s situation inside and outside. Xiao Xu told him that Zheng Lihai was actually the manager’s foster son. Niu Zhong had no children, and only adopted such a foster son. However, he did not have the ability. He was rich, and he ate, drank, and gambled all day.

After learning everything, Zheng Lihai decided to give iry. He brought about three to five of his men to Du Xu’s house. That so-called home was the house that Du Xu had bought before. The decorations were good, but they looked really generous. There were quite a few servants serving them. They looked like rich and luxurious families.

Without his father to discipline him, Niu Zhong would be busy in the auction house all day, not coming home at all. Zheng Lihai deliberately lost five thousand silver taels on the first day, and as expected, Zheng Lihai pulled his hand to make him come often. When Zheng Lihai left this time, he knew that Du Xu had already been tied to him.

It would only take a few days for Xiao Xu to come looking for him, saying that Master Du told him to go and save the situation. Zheng Lihai pretended to be unwilling, and in the end, still decided to go. This time, Zheng Lihai displayed his might and won thirty thousand silver from Du Xu. Du Xu was furious, he wanted him to see who won and who lost.

After a few days, Xiao Xu came to invite Zheng Lihai again. Tell him that Du Xu has invited a few friends that are rich this time, we can play around here. Zheng Lihai gathered 100,000 silver from the gambling den and brought it with Xiao Xu to Du Xu’s house.

What was strange was that it took less than two hours for the hundred thousand taels of silver to be completely lost.

The most frightening thing was the last card. The card in Du Xu’s hand was the second largest among all the cards, but he already had no money left. ‘s eyes were already red. If this was his gambling den, he would have already fallen out with Yue Yang. Now that he had a good card but no money, the silver on the table was not only enough for him to makrofit of a few hundred thousand taels of silver, but also some hundred thousand taels of silver. His eyes turned red and he ordered people to go back and get the money.

“It’s too slow to get it back.”

Du Xu casually threw over a book: “Just casually write a note, just say that you owe mundred thousand silver, and I will give it to you.”

Zheng Lihai did not think too much into it, and wrote a note for 100,000 gold to Du Xu. Du Xu took the IOU and really gave Du Xundred thousand silver. In the end, these cards were placed too high. Even after one hundred thousand taels of silver, there was still no clear victor.

“How about I give you some more?”

Du Xu tried to ask, but his eyes were already bloodshot. He immediately nodded and wrote another hundred thousand silver. The first time he looked at it, it waiece of white paper. The second time, it was written by Du Xu. He was already in a hurry, and without even looking, he signed the hand seal and took the hundred thousand silver.

Of course he lost.

If Du Xu let him win, how could he still be considered as someone who was taught by Zhong Jiughousand times? This kind of low-levelled method was but a child’s play for Zhong Jiuge.

“You cheated!”

Zheng Lihai immediately stood up, his eyes red as he shouted: “You all colluded to harm me!”

Du Xu shrugged his shoulders: “Stop messing around, Master Zheng, you are also doing this, if you are unwilling, could it be that I can give you more silver?”

He opened the IOU, but Zheng Lihai did not expect that the piece of paper was folded. After opening it, there was another paragraph of words written on it. He had borrowed two hundred thousand taels of silver and had to pay it all back within three days, along with the profit of three hundred thousand taels of silver. If he still could not figure it out within three days, he would get another ten thousand taels of silver per day. In another month, he would receive 20,000 silver per day.

Zheng Lihai’s shoulder was violently trembling. “I have been playing with eagles all day, but who would have thought that they would peck at my eyes today? I’d like to see what you can do if I don’t return the money. I’m not one of the top people in these streets, but no one can count on me. ”

Du Xu clapped his hands, and the door opened, revealing all of Zheng Lihai’s underlings inside, all of them were brought over, and all of them were beaten until their faces were black and blue. At least seventy to eighty people had been suppressed. Some of them had even lost their human form.

“I hear you have a sister?”

Du Xu laughed and said: “Even though your sister isn’t worth two hundred thousand silver, it’s still interest. Send your sister over tonight, or I’ll cut your arms off and feed your family to the dogs. If you don’t believe me, let’s try it. ”

He placed the IOU in front of him, “I’ll give you three days. Three hundred thousand taels of silver. “Master Zheng, I still say the same thing. No one knows better than you what fate is.”

At this moment, Zheng Lihai’s heart was dead.
