Master Dao came out of his concubine's room.

The two servants carried the Taishi chair and put it on the corridor. Master Dao stretched his legs and squatted on the chair, stroking his beard with a relaxed expression.

The servants set up the brazier, brought the coffee table with snacks and placed it beside Master Dao.

The little servant girl squatted on the ground, held Master Dao's legs and placed them on her knees, clenched her soft hands into fists and gently hammered and massaged.

There is a layer of white snow in front of the courtyard, and Master Dao specially ordered that it is not allowed to be cleaned.

A row of players sitting by the corner played musical instruments at the signal of the butler, and the dancers in cool clothes flew into the white snow like butterflies, twirled and jumped, and looked straight into the eyes of Master Dao.

"Hahaha, good!"

Master Dao swallowed the wine brought into his mouth by the maid, twirled his beard and enjoyed it, his squinting eyes fixed on the dancers in the front row.

"The wine and meat of the rich family stinks, and there are frozen bones on the road. Fuck the frozen bones, master, I want to drink and meat every day, and sing happily every night, hahaha." Master Dao grabbed the maid beside him, and kissed him hard on the face .

When Erdang's family was led in by the servants, he saw the master's picture of the wine pool and the meat forest.He squeezed his fist and licked his lips.

"Master, the Second Young Master sent someone here." The butler said in Master Dao's ear

"What's the matter, what happened to that stupid thing?" Master Dao raised his eyebrows, and squinted at the second master next to him.

"Why haven't I seen you?"

Er Dangjia said: "I am the guy recruited by the young master in Yong'an County."

"New buddy? Didn't I send my servants away? Really, it's a waste of food. Okay, tell me what's the matter." Master Liu said impatiently.

"Master, this matter is very important, the young master asked me to tell you quietly." The second master said.

"Hiss—what are you doing, kid." Master Dao frowned and sat up. "Okay, stop everything."

As soon as he waved his hand, the dancers in the courtyard withdrew their hands, shivering and gathered together to keep warm.

Master Liu led the second head into the room.

"Tell me, what tricks does that useless thing do?" Master Liu asked while sitting on the stool.

Erdangjia looked at the bearskin carpet in the room and the vases and jades on the antique shelf, his eyes darkened.

"Tell me?" Master Dao glanced at him, disdainful in his heart, the guy this stupid son is looking for is also so stupid, he looks like he has never seen the world, it is really embarrassing to the Taoists!

The second master said: "The owner of Liu's Chess and Cards Room said that they will hold a mahjong competition, and they will give money if they win. The young master asked me to ask you if the Dao's Chess and Cards Room should follow suit."

Master Dao stroked his beard, "Mahjong competition, who is free to run a mahjong game, so that his head hurts?"

He sneered, with a nonchalant expression on his face, he held up the teacup and blew on the tea leaves, "Tell you young masters, run the chess and card room well, just grab the guests if you don't smell it, these fancy things are useless!"

"But if you win the mahjong competition in Liu's chess and card room, you will be given silver, and you have to go to the capital. In the end, the winner will give you 500 taels."

"Pfft—cough cough cough!"

Master Dao had a terrible cough and his face was flushed.

"How many?"

Seeing Master Dao's startled appearance, Erdang was as stupid and ugly as Dao Wenguo, his lips moved, and he said it again: "No. 1 gives 500 taels, No. 2 four hundred, No. 3 three hundred, No. 4200 Two, a total of 400 taels of silver."

"He's crazy! 400 taels! Our family doesn't even have that much money!" Mr. Dao jumped up like a rabbit and grabbed the collar of the second master, "Where are the guests? Does our Dao family have any guests now?"

The second master was dragged around by him, full of anger.

"not much."

"This!" Master Dao cursed secretly, turned his head and counted, "Isn't it just a matter of hearing about it, so rich? 1000 taels, just give it if you want?"

Erdang rubbed his clothes and asked, "Master, do you have any money in your family?"

When Master Dao saw him asking himself this question from an outsider, his complexion sank, "I need you as a servant to ask how much our family has. Go, go, tell the young master, I will think about it first, and let him adapt accordingly."

"Oh."

Master Dao was in a depressed mood, walking back and forth in the room, when he saw the second master standing there like a pillar, he was upset, "Why, why don't you get out!"

Erdangjia grinned, staring at Master Dao with dark eyes.

"I have to go, but I have to invite Master Dao to accompany me."

Master Dao suddenly realized that something was wrong. This man was tall and muscular, and he was wearing unlined clothes even though it was winter.

"you--"

He opened his mouth to call someone, but the second master's hand was even faster, the silver light blade cut through the air and landed on Master Dao's neck.

"Eh!" Master Dao made a distorted voice in his throat, and immediately knelt on the ground.

"Okay...the hero, spare your life, spare your life!"

Beads of sweat protruded from Master Dao's forehead. He raised his hand and turned his mouth crookedly to the side, avoiding the dagger on his neck with his face.

"Hand over all your family's silver." Erdang's subordinates pressed the dagger close to the flesh, cutting a red mark, and blood flowed down the dagger.

"Give it, I'll give it all."

Master Dao was coerced by him and went into the bedroom.

Tremblingly, he opened the mattress and the box where the money was hidden.

"That's all?" The second leader looked at the 600 taels of silver note in his hand, with blood in his eyes, "Are you bluffing me?"

Master Dao immediately knelt down and wept bitterly, "Hero, that's all I have. For the chess and card room, I rented a shop to make mahjong and spent most of my family property, so I earned it back by pointing at the chess and card room!"

"Hmph." The second master put the silver into his clothes, "In that case..."

The dagger was removed from the neck, but Master Dao's face had not yet revealed a happy expression, the cold feeling pierced into his brain, and his face was fixed on the shocked face at this moment.

The second leader slowly pulled out the dagger, wiped it off Master Dao's luxurious clothes, and left the room without looking back.

Outside the door, the housekeeper hummed a tune with his hands behind his back, suddenly a hand stretched out from behind to cover his mouth, a dagger was inserted into his heart, and a life disappeared in an instant.

"Who else has seen me?" Er Dangjia threw away the butler's body, touched the dagger and looked towards the front yard.

……

"Douyuan, is there anyone fighting against enemies?"

"Competing for the top three and missing one!"

"Draw a pair, who wants to draw a pair?"

"..."

Liu's chess and card room is very lively, and card players ask if they want to play if they catch someone.

Those who were caught were at a loss.

"What is fighting enemies? What is fighting for the top? Draw a pair... how to draw?"

"Come, come, let me teach you!"

"What kind of poker are you playing? The mahjong competition is about to start. Don't you hurry up and practice?" People at the mahjong table hated iron for lack of steel.

"Oh, I want to practice too. Fighting enemies is really interesting. I play poker today and mahjong tomorrow!"

Shopkeeper Wang whistled and handed over the heavy cash box to the nursing home.

"Watch closely, save money quickly."

"do not worry."

The nurse put the cash box into the carriage, and several people guarded the carriage and walked to the bank.

In the nursing home at the front, a man came towards him with a gloomy and cruel expression, as if he had a vendetta against someone.

People rub shoulders with the carriage, and the horse pulling the carriage shakes its mane and neighs uncomfortably.

"be honest."

Nursing courtyard patted the horse's head and looked at the man.

Pass by.

The nursing home stopped.

Er Dangjia put his hand on his waist.

"Suddenly remembered that I'm going to change shifts with Xiao Liu at night..."

The carriage of the nursing home drove away, and the second leader put down his hands and smiled.

Dow Chess Room.

The dice twirled and the copper plates collided with each other.

Young and beautiful girls shuttled like flowers among the tables and chairs. Several tables were placed together, and the dancers stood on the tables with skirts and danced.

"it is good!"

"Hey!" A man spat on the ground, raised his hand to touch his mouth, and grabbed a card.

"continue."

The man on the opposite side looked embarrassed, and the hand that grabbed the card paused, "I suddenly remembered that my wife told me to buy meat and go back, so I have to go first, hehehe."

At the next table, the person whose head hurts from the sound of playing the music covered his ears.

"Can you please keep your voice down?"

The people around were immersed in the hilarity, and no one paid any attention.

"Forget it, let's go, it's dirty and smelly, I can't stay here."

"Let's go."

Before the Erdang family could enter, two groups of people rushed out of the gate.

"What a broken chess and card room, never come again!"

Erdangjia casually glanced at him, walked in and walked towards the brother behind the counter, "Let everyone leave."

He grabbed Li Hu, "Go and do something."

Li Hu walked out of the cell with a heavy amount of money in his pocket.

"I, I, I will redeem my elder brother."

"Hey, isn't this the one who just went out two days ago, does he have a younger sister?" The officer pointed at Li Hu and smiled.

Li Hu smiled and said: "Yes, yes."

The officer was speechless and said, "Is your whole family in prison?"

Li Hu hurriedly said: "No, it's someone I met in prison, and I want to save—lead him out."

The officials had a subtle look on their faces.

"Who do you want to redeem?"

"Liu Zhi, that's Liu Zhi."

The official paused, and his face became even more strange.

"Liu Zhi? Isn't that someone who has been locked up in prison all the time without any ID card? He heard that he used to gather crowds to make trouble and was locked up."

"How did I hear it was a robbery?"

Li Hu was worried, "Then... can I redeem it? I brought silver, 500 taels!"

Officials: "!"

He glanced at Li Hu up and down, "You use 500 taels to redeem someone you know in prison?"

Li Hu touched his face, "I swore to him in prison, so..."

The two officers looked at each other.

"Okay, our Great Xia Kingdom has always had a rule of ransom with money, that is, the ransom is high." He took the key and walked into the prison.

"Liu Zhi, someone redeemed you!"

Li Hu squatted outside the prison, with his head down, and he felt that the poor eyes were on him without raising his head.

"Good brother, brother saw you right!"

The man who was two heads taller than Guancha strode forward, pulled Li Hu up and patted him on the back.

"It's just brother, where did you get so much money?"

Li Hu stammered: "My brothers and I went to Liu's chess and card room to work as clerks, and made a lot of money in a month. Don't tell me the big guy, Wen's boss signed a contract of sale, and only got enough 500 taels of silver!"

The master's hand paused, and after a long time, it patted on Li Hu's body.

"Okay, brother makes money to pay you back, and also makes money to redeem other brothers in prison."

The two of them are good brothers, and they walked out with their arms around their shoulders.

"Follow?" Outside the prison, the officer asked.

"If he is really a clerk in Liu's chess and card room, the 500 taels is fine." Another official said, "Is it just that he is so generous?"

"Then Li Hu didn't make trouble with him before, so he was imprisoned?"

"what?"

The two officers looked at each other.

"Chase!"

The two officials chased after them, but when they reached the entrance of the alley, they were hit by a sap and fell to the ground.

"I knew it!"

The leader, Zhou Tiezhi, threw down the blood-stained stick and kicked Li Hu, whose legs were limp beside him.

"Go, take the key and let the brothers out."

"I, I..." Li Hu saw the official servant lying on the ground, his legs and feet were so weak that he couldn't get up.

"It's useless." Zhou Tiezhi's eyes flickered with disdain, and he turned his head to ask the brothers under the second leader to release him.

"Brother." The second head came over, and the two embraced for a moment.

"Just now why did you say that the ransom was...Liu what?" asked the head.

The second master licked his lips and said, "Brother, Liu's chess and card room is very rich."

"It's easy to be rich to 500 taels?" The head of the family was a little surprised.

Li Hu hurriedly said: "Liu's Chess Room earns hundreds of taels a month in one store, there are three stores!"

Zhou Tiezhi's eyes were shocked, and then a greedy look appeared in his eyes.

"Brother, do we want it?" The second leader raised his dagger.

"Big Master, if you don't know his natural power, I'm afraid you are no match for him." Li Hu rolled his eyes and said in a low voice.

"Huh?" Hearing the words, the head of the family suddenly said angrily, "Is there someone in Yong'an County who is my opponent?"

Li Hu added oil and vinegar to him and told him how to crush stones with his bare hands, and how to make money since he opened the shop.

"In that case, I'll go back to take care of my health first. I'll stay in prison for a long time, so I'll talk about it slowly." Zhou Tiezhi said.

"Silver, if you don't smell it, save it for me first."

Li Hu was disappointed in his heart, and said: "The head of the family, my lover is in the Liu family, and I know all the troubles in the Liu family!"

Zhou Tiezhi's heart of silence was extinguished by his words, he smiled and pulled Li Hu up.

"Okay, as expected of my good brother!"
