Sure enough, after playing a few games, Gu Linxi counted all the money he had with him. He only had a small amount of money, but the General Administration was able to make a comeback in the last game, so just like last time, he bet on his own money. Right hand.
Gu Qiang pursed her lips and smiled behind the table. As expected, Fu Siyan quickly called the shopkeeper over.
"If I remember correctly, if Mr. Gu doesn't have any silver to give me, I can ask for anything from her, right?"
Fu Siyan's eyes suddenly became very strange. Only then did Gu Qiang realize that the matter of Fu Siyan's annulment seemed to involve more than just their two families. Fu Siyan had lost face in the entire court. It seemed that today I came here specifically to the casino, and I came here to find him from Linxi Xili.
"That's true, but Mr. Fu, do you want something from Mr. Gu?"
The shopkeeper had obviously never seen such a posture. In the absence of the shopkeeper, he was also afraid of causing death, so he just spoke vaguely and said what he wanted to say.
"It's not an object. I have seen almost all the objects on Mr. Gu's body. There is nothing precious worth exchanging so much silver. But I think I have already lost 70,000 taels. , if Mr. Gu doesn't pledge something, it's hard for me to believe that you can still get the money to fill this loophole. After all, everyone in the capital now knows that Mr. Gu will no longer give you any silver."
"What do you mean by that?" Gu Linxi was just starting out after all. Hearing this, he felt something was wrong. The last time he made a bet with them, he had indeed placed a bet on someone's right hand. Could it be that this time, This Fu Siyan also wants to gamble with something he owns
"It's very simple. I don't have as big an appetite as Mr. Gu. I don't want you to keep your right hand, but you have to keep your two fingers. But as for which two they are, I am not as cruel and inhumane as Mr. Gu. Where are the two fingers on the left hand? Or the fingers on the right hand? It’s all up to the young master to decide.”
Gu Qiang never thought that the annulment of the engagement would have such a great impact on Fu Siyan that he would not hesitate to get it back from Gu Linxi in this place and in this way. But it is true that this matter will eventually come to an end. Gu Linjiang was still unscrupulous and wanted to send his daughter to the position of head of the harem. Therefore, after Gu Zhihua died, his youngest daughter would continue to hold the position.
But it is true that after losing such a good supporter as the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Gu Linjiang may not be so easy to do things in the future.
This Fu Siyan was obviously well prepared and had a lot of people behind him. However, there were only two guards around Gu Linxi. Gu Qiang couldn't even be beaten, let alone Fu Siyan on the opposite side with a few people who all seemed to be masters.
"How about it, Mr. Gu, should you do it yourself, or let my men come and help you?"
Fu Siyan took out a short dagger from his pocket, "Fortunately, this dagger can be sharpened very quickly. It should be quick to pick up and drop the dagger without feeling any pain."
Before Gu Linxi could react, he was pressed down on the table. His left and right hands were placed in front of his eyes. The knife in Fu Siyan's hand was close at hand. Only then did Gu Linxi notice the fear from the inside out.
"No, my father is the prime minister. How dare you do this to me? Your father is just a minister of the Ministry of Industry. Do you believe that my father is going to file a memorial to impeach your father?"
Gu Qiang almost laughed out loud after hearing this.
"Mr. Gu, we've already reached this point, do you still have the heart to say harsh words?" Fu Siyan frowned, "I really don't know whether you are smart or stupid. The existence of this casino has already been approved by the emperor. Do you think that if your father knew that you secretly came to the casino again, he would have the nerve to go to the emperor to plead his grievance? You brought this matter on your own, and I warned you before the game started. You, your father no longer provides you with financial resources. You must pay attention to moderation when playing cards, but you just don’t listen. It’s not my fault. I’m just here to take away what should be mine. That’s all.”
Gu Qiang saw that things were getting worse and worse, and then he came out and said, "Mr. Fu, although I don't know what kind of bet you two have made, I think there should be no deep hatred between you two. Don’t forget, even if the engagement is broken off, this young master cannot have the final say.”
After all, Gu Qiang is the big boss behind this casino now. It would be a bit shameful not to stand up at this time, so after seeing enough of the good show, Gu Qiang walked out from behind the counter.
"Oh, it seems that the shopkeeper has something to say for Mr. Gu. Could it be that the shopkeeper helped him pay out the 70,000 taels of silver notes?"
Fu Siyan was clearly here for revenge today, and he had already thought about it. Gu Linxi had no money now. Generally speaking, no one would be willing to mortgage it for him until he got the 70,000 taels of silver notes.
"Of course that's impossible. I'm also a business owner of a small family. If I really take 70,000 taels of silver notes to pay off Mr. Gu's debt, I don't think the Minister of Industry, I would It’s too easy, so for today’s matter, you might as well let me do it as a favor.”
Gu Qiang paused for a moment, "I am here to make a mortgage for Mr. Gu. Within a limited time, I will ask Mr. Gu to find a way to get some banknotes. After I can exchange for your debt, we will Can you make a plan?"
Gu Qiang was very grateful to Fu Siyan. If it weren't for him, he probably wouldn't have had such a good opportunity. With 70,000 taels of silver, Gu Linxi, a little brat, wouldn't have been able to get it all at once. , if he guessed correctly, Gu Linxi's financial path was probably cut off by Gu Linjiang the last time he entered the casino. He must have discovered the warehouse where Gu Linjiang usually kept his silver coins, otherwise he would have been here for so many days. Where does casino spending come from
"Shopkeeper, I have made it clear just now that his father no longer gives him any silver. Where will he get so much silver? Are you kidding me? If he can't get this money, how can he get it? Why don't you take his place and leave two fingers here?"
Fu Siyan had a clear goal. Apart from Gu Linxi, he actually didn't want to embarrass anyone else, but the shopkeeper who came out halfway didn't seem to be someone to be trifled with.
"That's not the case. I think there is no need to be so anxious about this matter anyway. Even if Mr. Gu really owes you so much money, you can go to Gu Chengshang and sue him. If this is really the case, you will not only get the silver you deserve, but also Mr. Gu will be beaten up by his father for gambling, do you think I am right?"
"That won't work. I've already taken out my knife. No matter what happens today, I want two of his fingers."
When the bright knife dangled in front of Gu Linxi's face, Gu Linxi's whole body tensed up, and he truly felt fear. He was so frightened that he was speechless.
In comparison, Gu Qiang was very calm and took out a small bottle from her arms.
"It's because of the medicine prepared by the miracle doctor, but what about this pill? There is a time limit. It usually takes about half an hour for people to have an attack, but it's not necessarily that within half an hour, if Mr. Gu doesn't come back If so, after taking this pill, his meridians will go retrograde, and life will be worse than death. Even if we wait for us to rush over, it will probably take a certain amount of time to rescue him. Mr. Fu thinks that Mr. Gu will take this opportunity. If you want to escape, you might as well give me some face. If Mr. Gu doesn't get the silver back within an hour, his meridians will go backwards. Even if I can rush over in time, I can barely rescue him. It’s a small life, but there is still a possibility that I will never be able to stand up again in this life.”
When Gu Linxi heard this, his expression changed drastically, "Gu Su Ran! What on earth are you going to eat with me? Do you not want to live anymore?"
Apart from anything else, the fact that Gu Linxi could still be so arrogant at this time meant that he was a man. Gu Qiang wouldn't care so much. She took advantage of the moment he opened his mouth and, with quick eyes and quick hands, directly stuffed the pills in his hand into his mouth.
"Mr. Gu, if you get back the 70,000 taels of silver in half an hour, I will give you the antidote. You will also be spared the pain of two fingers. I am saving you."
The situation has become so urgent now. Gusu Liang will definitely go to the place where he usually collects silver coins. Gu Linjiang has not gone through the accounts at any bank in the capital, which means that he does not have that much money. The banknotes and everything I carry with me are probably all in cash. If this is really the case, Gu Linjiang must have a suitable place to store the cash. Gu Linxi, it’s up to you to show us the way this time.
Gu Linxi anxiously picked at his throat, trying to spit out the pill he accidentally swallowed just now, but no matter what, he just couldn't spit it out. Looking at his embarrassed look, Fu Siyan across from him couldn't help it. laughed.
"That's fine. Since it's the shopkeeper who has spoken, I have to believe it. But if Mr. Gu doesn't come back within half an hour, I'm afraid the shopkeeper will have to give up the 70,000 taels of silver notes. Come and accompany me."
