I was reborn and married a villain, and I won by lying down

Chapter 44 The down-and-out scholar

Although Qu Yunchu didn't dare to confirm her conjecture, this was the only reason she could think of Lu Wenqian's anomaly.

Since he wanted to sing an opera, I had no choice but to cooperate with him to finish the opera.

It's embarrassing for a Taoist like her to go into a gambling house and gamble and only lose or lose.

After all, I am not that mediocre charlatan, who can predict life and death, or fortune and misfortune, so how can I not see through a simple bet?

As soon as she entered the gate of the casino, she could clearly see the numbers of the dice under the dice cylinder on each gaming table.

"Ah, my clairvoyant eyes are really sinful."

Qu Yunchu muttered secretly.

If he really unconscionably wins the money from those bad guys, he will be struck by lightning from the sky.

She had no choice but to pretend that she had never seen the world and continue walking in, and walked slowly to a slightly dark corner at the corner inside, when she heard someone shout excitedly:

"There will be ten turtles under the emperor, but there will be no poor people under the emperor."

Then there was a group of people sighing.

"Zhang Xiucai, you lost again, and you will be compensated."

Qu Yunchu turned his head to look, and saw a group of people excitedly dividing up the money in front of a young man in a state of embarrassment.

The young man drooped his head, his face became dejected, and his eyes were blankly looking at the scattered silver coins that had been divided up on the Pai Gow table.

And above his head was a hungry little devil sucking in the spiritual energy that was almost gone from his body.

"Hey."

Qu Yunchu glared viciously at the kid. The kid raised his eyes and sensed something was wrong. He panicked and disappeared into the gambling house in a flash.

The young man called Zhang Xiucai glanced at Qu Yunchu, then got up and walked out the door lonely.

"Hey, the Lu family has done a lot of harm to people. A good scholar was tortured into what he is now."

Someone sighed with regret.

Hearing someone criticize the Lu family, Ji Zhen's face darkened immediately, and was about to take action to teach that person a lesson, but was quickly repelled by Qu Yunchu's eyes.

She smiled and sat next to the man, and asked with great interest: "Why do you sigh like this? The Lu family is also a famous family, how can they embarrass a scholar?"

The man glanced at Qu Yunchu, and saw that she was dressed in fine silk and satin, and her dress was very delicate and eye-catching. The servant girls who followed her were also not simply dressed, and they looked either rich or expensive.

Such a family would allow their female relatives to come to the casino. I am afraid that they are not a clean family, so they smiled with contempt and said: "Young lady has such a leisurely life, but this place is not the place you should come to after all."

After saying that, he stood up in a hurry.

"Hey, the gate of the casino is open to the east, and visitors come and go from north to south. As long as there is money, there is no gender difference."

Qu Yunchu casually took out a stack of banknotes and put them on the table, pretending to sigh sadly:

"To tell you the truth, my humble husband is bedridden. He is weak and unable to take care of himself. The family has a lot of wealth, but I, a woman, can't take care of it. I have to do something so that the people in the family don't look down on me. A while ago An expert commented on me, saying that I have partial fortune, and I wondered if coming to the casino is the place to make partial fortune.”

Ji Zhen and Ke Yan couldn't help frowning while listening.

It would be fine if the second master could hear this.

The man showed joy on his face, and thought: I'm afraid he is a fool who was cheated by charlatans.

Looking at the bank note in her hand, she sat back reluctantly.

Qu Yunchu smiled, asked someone to change the Pai Gow on the table, and invited him to play dice.

Before the time for a cup of tea, he lost several hundred taels of silver to this person.

Seeing the joy on this person's face, Qu Yunchu changed the topic back to the previous matter.

"I looked at Zhang Xiucai's expression of despair when he went out. I'm afraid he lost all his money and wanted to commit suicide, right?"

The man frowned. He didn't want to mention the matter again, but he couldn't resist winning the woman's money.

Thinking of her as an unknown woman, it was just out of curiosity, so he lowered his voice and talked to her.

"Could it be that the little lady has taken a fancy to this Sheng?"

He first made a joke with a hippie smile.

"Hugh's talking nonsense."

Ke Yan glared at the man angrily.

Only then did he restrain his smile, and became a little more serious.

"If you say that Zhang Sheng is indeed born with a good skin and a lot of talent, it is understandable for the little lady to feel pity, but I would like to advise the little lady, this person is not allowed, he should not be offended if he is offended. people."

"How to say?"

Qu Yunchu asked as if nothing happened.

The man got closer and continued: "He was originally a student of the Crescent Academy outside Jingbei Pavilion, but because of his false statements, he was good at discussing government affairs, and he also slandered the Lu family for colluding with the court dignitaries to oppress the good, especially the Lu family. Young Master Sun's reckless disregard for human life is even more widely spread."

"Have no regard for human life?"

Thinking about his past encounters, Qu Yunchu looked slightly startled.

"Yes."

The man smiled disapprovingly and said, "Just a few months ago, Zhang Sheng sued Young Master Sun of the Lu family in a neighboring county, saying that he had witnessed this man murder a wandering doctor, and the name of the wandering doctor must be my little lady." You should have heard about it, it is Qu Tianshi, a female Taoist priest who has been famous in Tanzhou City for the past two years."

"Indeed... I heard a little bit."

Qu Yunchu nodded hesitantly.

My heart is sour and warm.

I don't know that Zhang Sheng before, but he defends himself against injustices, this kind of chivalrous heart is really rare.

"This Young Master Yanchao of the Lu family was born handsome and beautiful. In my Great Moon Dynasty, he could be said to be a master of wind and rain. There is no shortage of women around him. How could he bully a Taoist woman and kill her when he is fine? Isn't that a big deal? joke?"

The man couldn't help but sigh and shook his head: "It is said that Zhang Sheng wanted to deliberately threaten Young Master Yanchao to gain some benefits. Although I don't believe it, the facts are right in front of us and there is no room for doubt."

Qu Yunchu didn't want to explain the reason to outsiders. He just asked: "Since the government released Zhang Sheng back to his hometown, it can be seen that the Lu family did not pursue the matter. Why did Zhang Sheng come to Hongshun Gambling House to gamble again?"

"Master Yanchao has a lot of people, and he doesn't care about such trivial matters. It doesn't mean that everyone around him can swallow this bad breath."

The man said again: "The young lady of the Lu family, Mrs. Hua, has a nephew named Hua An. When he heard about this, he specially came to Yanyang City from his hometown of Shu County. It is also a coincidence that Zhang Sheng's wife, Cui Shi, who has not yet passed the family, has a brother-in-law. My brother lost money doing business in Shu County,

This debt went round and round and ended up in Hua An's hands. The money that was originally only four or five hundred taels now turned into thousands of taels. The Cui family couldn't pay the money, so Hua An detains the whole family of the Cui family. , and sold Zhang Sheng's unmarried bride into a brothel. "

"It's unreasonable. It's not clear that persimmons only pick on the weak. That Zhang Sheng is a student of Crescent Academy. They don't want to embarrass themselves, so they vent their anger on the Cui family."

Ji Zhen clenched her fists indignantly: "When did the eldest young lady become so unreasonable, and she didn't care about her natal nephew."

Qu Yunchu smiled coldly, probably Lu Yanchao and his mother instigated this matter behind the scenes.

The man felt strange after hearing Ji Zhen's words, and quickly said: "This little brother can't say that. It is an indisputable fact that the Cui family owes the Hua family money. Even if it goes to the government, it is reasonable, let alone Hua'an." There is also the Lu family behind me, and the government has to think carefully about it."
