Chapter 260: The real murderer is exposed
Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!
A crisp sound came from the copper coins in the sieve cup.
Xiao Zijie's ears moved slightly, and he listened carefully to the sound inside.
Bang!
The sieve cup was slapped on the table.
Xiao Zijie smiled faintly and said, "Of course!"
The pharmacist opened the sieve cup and looked closely. There were seven copper coins, four positive and three negative, and Xiao Zijie won.
After Xiao Zijie won the first prize, he took the lead in shaking the sieve cup.
Crazy! Crazy! Crazy!
His skillful technique is obvious, and he is a senior playmaker who often appears in various fireworks and willow alleys.
The sieve cup fell.
The pharmacist said excitedly: "Rebel!"
When the sieve cup was opened, there were still four positives and three negatives, and Xiao Zijie won.
In almost ten breaths, a thousand taels of silver bills were obtained.
"Let's go!" The pharmacist licked his lips, and a stern smile appeared on his face.
The two of them came and went, but they almost stopped, which attracted the attention of many people around them. Some outstanding girls also came to the two of them and gave a charming look from time to time.
They knew very well that the young man who could gamble like this would definitely be worth a lot of money. As long as they could get to know each other, they would make a profit.
Soon, it was midnight.
Xiao Zijie had already put a large stack of silver notes on his hand, and there was only a thin stack beside the pharmacist.
Basically, Xiao Zijie can win seven or eight games in every ten games.
The pharmacist frowned. At this moment, he did not realize that his banknote was almost gone, but just wanted to turn the book.
When dawn was two hours before dawn, the pharmacist lost all the silver notes, with a total of 220,000 taels.
Xiao Zijie sorted out the silver notes piled up in the hills, looked at the dark night outside, and murmured: "It's still two hours before dawn, so it seems that I can't continue playing!"
Typical Versailles tone.
The pharmacist frowned slightly, suddenly stood up and said, "Wait for me for half an hour, I'll withdraw the money now!"
If the pharmacist wants to pay back his capital, he will need at least 100,000 taels of silver notes, and naturally no one can lend him here.
"Okay, I'll wait for you." Xiao Zijie said in a calm tone.
Immediately, the pharmacist rushed out of the door.
Kong Ze nodded at Xiao Zijie.
He had already arranged that the Dragon Guard soldiers would stare at the pharmacist throughout the journey and see who would lend him a huge amount of silver notes in Dashou City.
Half an hour later, the pharmacist came back, holding a full 100,000 taels of silver notes in his hand. After he exchanged it for 1,000 taels per ticket, he started fighting with Xiao Zijie again.
At this moment, Kong Ze had left the Fireworks Pavilion.
For Xiao Zijie, the next competition was quite boring.
Because, he keeps winning.
The pharmacist is completely a gambler and has been guessing blindly without any gambling skills.
Therefore, when it was dawn, the 100,000 taels of silver bills he had in his hand were only three thousand taels left.
After winning another game, Xiao Zijie slowly stood up and said, "It's dawn, let's get here today!"
After saying that, Xiao Zijie packed up the bill and prepared to leave.
At this moment, the pharmacist seemed to have woken up.
Losing 320,000 taels of silver bills overnight is definitely a sum that can be recorded in the history of the Koryo Fireworks Willow Lane.
He slapped his head heavily and watched Xiao Zijie leave.
After thinking for a while, he slowly walked out of the door.
"No, I must grab the money back and then kill this person!"
If you can't bet, I'll kill you.
However, when the pharmacist walked out of the fireworks pavilion, he suddenly realized that he had no idea where Xiao Zijie was going.
He ran for several streets in depression, but after not even noticed Xiao Zijie, he had to leave depressedly.
At this moment, Xiao Zijie was sitting in a carriage and was about to arrive at his temporary residence.
He could guess that after losing huge wealth, the pharmacist would definitely have murderous intent, so with the help of the Dragon Guard soldiers, he quickly hid.
Of course, he was not afraid of the pharmacist, but worried that if he exposed his excessive power, he would alarm the enemy and affect the investigation of the Caizhou dike.
Soon, Xiao Zijie returned to a deep house where they lived. He was eager to know who could give the pharmacist a hundred thousand taels of silver notes in the middle of the night.
"Kong Ze, who did the pharmacist look for?" Xiao Zijie asked.
Kong Ze lightly sipped in tea and said, "Goryeo Grand Priest Park Changsu, unfortunately, the Grand Priest's Mansion is strictly guarded, and our people were unable to go in and find out what they were talking about."
The great prime minister of Goryeo is equivalent to the literary prime minister of Dazhou, which is the head of the imperial ministers.
"The pharmacist can enter and exit the palace freely, and also allow the Grand Priest of Goryeo to give him a hundred thousand taels of silver notes in the middle of the night. Who is this person? Even if the lord of Liuhai Kingdom comes in person, he will not be able to enjoy this kind of treatment!"
Kong Ze nodded in approval and said, "According to my calculations, the culprit of the disaster in Caizhou must be the pharmacist. Last night, our people found a broken excavation tool thrown out by the Liuhai people near the yard. Only Liuhai people have this kind of equipment, and in the gaps of the tools, there is obviously yellow sand, which is unique to the Yellow River. As for whether the master behind the scenes is Goryeo or Liuhai Kingdom, it is unknown!"
Xiao Zijie paced back and forth and said, "Then let's report this news to His Majesty now, and then follow the pharmacist to see what his relationship has with the Goryeo!"
"Okay, Your Majesty must be impatient now. Let's let the court know the news here first. Maybe they will find some clues elsewhere!"
Immediately, the two of them passed the letter to the court.
...
Five days later, the palace was bowed.
Zhao Yan took the note sent by Shen Tuyi and said with a serious expression: "Whether it is Goryeo or Liuhai Kingdom, as long as I am sure it is theirs, I will let them destroy the country. If they participate, I do not recommend destroying both of them."
Shen Tuyi bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, if you destroy Goryeo, I am willing to go, but if you destroy Liuhai Kingdom, it may be a little trouble!"
"What trouble?" Zhao Yan asked in confusion.
"In our Great Zhou, most of the ships are merchant ships. Although there are warships, they are too large. There are reefs around Liuhai Kingdom. And those Liuhai people are well aware of the nature of water. When fighting on the water, we must be more than three times their number to gain the advantage. In addition, if we attack Liuhai Kingdom, Goryeo is behind us, and they are likely to take a damn attack."
"Hmph, with absolute strength, everything is a cloud! You first ask us to prepare, even if we fight, it will be next year!" Zhao Yan said.
According to Lu Nianwei's expected delivery date, she should be born in about ten days.
At this time, it is natural that Zhao Yan could not have war.
