With Wu Xian's approval, the middle-aged man went out of the house. He was stingy and generous once, hired a sliding pole, and let two honest men carry him all the way back to the Donglai pawnshop.
He threw five copper coins to two honest men, ignoring their ugly faces, and hurried into the pawn shop.
Liu Heng waited half an hour in the Donglai Pawnshop, and he was impatient to wait a long time ago. After seeing the middle-aged man appeared, he immediately got up and walked over.
"What did your boss say?"
Liu Heng asked hurriedly.
The middle-aged man accompanied the smiling face, "Our boss said, we will accept the stuff."
"happy!"
Liu Heng clapped his hands and shouted boldly: "Invoice, take the money!"
The middle-aged man nodded, walked to the little boss of the Ziqi Gambling House, and whispered: "The painting of Master Liu costs 20,000, and the pawn shop does not have enough money, so I have to get some from the gambling house."
When the little boss of the Ziqi Gambling House heard this, he frowned, "There is no money left in the Gambling House..."
The middle-aged man seemed to see through the thoughts of the little boss of the Ziqi Gambling House, and said, "This is what the owner ordered."
The little boss of the Ziqi Gambling House opened his mouth with an ugly expression. He couldn't say anything when he refused, so he nodded stiffly.
"Since it was ordered by the boss, I have to get it together for you."
"The gambling shop got 12,000 guan..."
The middle-aged man smiled and gave a number.
The little head of the Ziqi Gambling Shop widened his eyes, and yelled, "Twelve thousand coins? The profit of the gambling shop has been emptied for half a year. Let us brothers eat."
The middle-aged man looked at the little boss of the Ziqi Gambling House with a smile.
"It's about the promotion of the boss, you don't have to take it."
His tone was full of jokes, with Wu Xian behind his back, he was obviously determined to be the little boss of the Ziqi Gambling House.
The little boss of the Ziqi Gambling House gritted his teeth, his face flushed slightly, he was obviously angry.
"I take!"
The middle-aged man nodded in satisfaction, "Then go get it quickly. Look at Master Liu's temper, obviously he doesn't want to wait any longer."
"Humph!"
The little boss of the Ziqi Gambling House gave a cold snort, smashed the middle-aged man away, and walked out of the pawn shop.
Obviously there is still a big place next to him for walking, but he has to hit the middle-aged man to vent his dissatisfaction.
The middle-aged man knew his careful thinking, but he didn't reveal it.
He has taken advantage of it, and he can't go after and fight.
Everyone works for the same owner. See you when you look up.
Sometimes when he asks someone, he can't offend him to death.
The middle-aged man and the little boss of the Ziqi Gambling House didn't speak loudly, but Liu Heng, who was sharp-eared, heard clearly.
He could hear that the middle-aged man and the little boss of the Ziqi Gambling House were not getting along well.
However, this is the family affair of someone else's family, and he doesn't bother to take care of it.
What he is most worried about now is the 20,000 coins that will be handed over to him.
"The money can be collected slowly, and the tickets will be issued first. In case you regret it, wouldn't you wait for nothing?"
Liu Heng urged the prodigal son who could not wait to ruin his family as soon as possible.
"The villain will do it."
The middle-aged man responded and returned to the counter behind the pawnshop.
I took paper and pen and drafted a ticket.
The pawn ticket indicated that the "Spring Play Picture" was worth 100,000 guan, and the price was 20,000 guan pawns for Donglai Pawnshop for a period of seven days.
Redemption within seven days will gain three points, over seven days, gain ten%.
In fact, this last sentence should be more than seven days old, and "Spring Play Picture" belonged to Donglai Pawnshop.
Middle-aged people know the stakes involved in "Spring Play," so they dare not write it like that.
Once the words are out, they can be taken back, but if they fall in black and white, they can’t be taken back.
Wu Xian said that Liu Heng's profit for painting can be eliminated.
But the middle-aged people don't want to miss this opportunity to make money, so they still write the profit on it.
As long as Liu Heng does not bother with this matter and makes money back, instead of scolding him, Wu Xian will win him a prize.
This is the case in the business field, and the money you can make must not be missed.
When the ticket was written, the middle-aged man stamped the seal of Donglai Pawnshop on it, and also stamped a private seal of Mrs. Wu Xian and his own seal.
Wu's shops are all under the name of Mrs. Wu Xian.
Wu Xian did this to avoid being caught and impeached him.
Three red stamps fell, and an official ticket was drafted.
Compared with the pawn ticket issued to Kou Li by the Donglai Pawnshop, this pawn ticket with three seals can be regarded as a complete pawn ticket.
"Liu Ye, your ticket..."
The middle-aged man nodded and bowed and presented the ticket to Liu Heng.
Liu Heng was going to get it, but the middle-aged man shrank his hand, then smiled dryly: "Master... Draw..."
"Heh! You really don't see rabbits or scatter eagles."
Liu Heng muttered without curiosity, and handily stuffed all the paintings to the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man also decisively handed the pawn ticket to Liu Heng.
Liu Heng held the ticket and looked at the three red stamps on it, not to mention too much excitement in his heart.
It's done!
But he didn't show it on his face. Instead, he asked the middle-aged man for money indifferently.
"Where's the little master's money?!"
The middle-aged man eagerly took out the "Spring Play Picture" from the painting handed over by Liu Heng, and carefully put it into a box dedicated to famous paintings.
I swept away the other paintings.
The middle-aged man returned to Liu Heng's words, "Liu Ye, wait a moment..."
While talking, the middle-aged man bent down and carried a box inlaid with iron sheets from under the counter.
Opening the brass lock on the box, the box was full of gold bars and silver bars.
The middle-aged man pushed the cash box in front of Liu Heng with a painful expression on his face, "Master Liu, a little yellow croaker and a silver sentence for seven thousand guan, please click on it."
Although Liu Heng's monthly benefits are not much, as the son of Liu Mansion, he has also seen big scenes.
He didn't need to put the gold bars and silver bars into his mouth to take a bite and tell the authenticity.
Liu Heng grabbed a gold bar casually, weighed it, and touched it again. He curled his lips and said with disapproval: "80% gold is not a good gold. But if you have a tight hand, I don’t have time to follow your ink. I care about this with you."
The middle-aged man accompanied the smiling face and said in a mournful voice: "Eight yellows, nine purples, ten reds, purple golds, and red golds. Those are things that are only available in the palace. You are a wealthy family, and your aunt is the current queen, something you have seen before. Naturally more than the villain.
To be honest, the villain took out 80% of the gold, which is already the best gold on the market. "
Liu Heng didn't bother to care about the fineness of gold with the middle-aged people, anyway, it was the money for nothing.
He slapped the table and shouted, "There are still 13 thousand more!"
The middle-aged man hurriedly took out boxes one after another from under the counter, a total of ten small boxes, each of which contained a hundred tens of dollars.
Liu Heng greeted the dogs.
The doglegs leaned over and put the money under Liu Heng's feet.
After a while.
The little boss of the Ziqi Gambling House walked into the Donglai Pawnshop alone.
Seeing that he didn't take anything, the middle-aged man was slightly stunned, "Where is the money?"
The little boss of the Ziqi Gambling House said in a very angry voice: "Outside the door..."
The middle-aged man had a bad feeling in his heart when he heard the words.
He speculated that he invited Liu Heng uncomfortably and went out of the Donglai pawn shop.
As soon as they left the house, they saw more than a dozen green skins hustling around a cart, which was piled full of dangdang coins.
"This… "
Liu Heng looked at so many coins, a little stunned.
The middle-aged man gritted his teeth and turned his head and gave the little boss of the Ziqi Gambling House a fierce look, "Why don't you take the little yellow croaker and the silver sentence? If you do this, it is easy to offend people."
The little boss of the Ziqi Gambling House quizzed his lips and said: "The valuables are all in your pawn shop. We only have copper coins in our gambling house."
The middle-aged man glared at him again, and wanted to go forward to apologize to Liu Heng.
Liu Heng had already turned around. He pointed to the middle-aged man and the little boss of the Ziqi Gambling House, pursing his lips, and said in a deep voice, "You can do it, I will remember you guys. I won't care about you today."
After saying this, Liu Heng didn't pay attention to them, and greeted the dogs.
"Take all the little master's money, and we will return to the house."
The doglegs yelled and carried the copper coins from the Donglai Pawnshop into the car, and then replaced the green-skin gangsters, guarding around the car.
Liu Heng hugged a box containing gold bars and a silver sentence and sat on the cowl.
The doglegs screamed and drove the bad horse, pulling the cart and moving forward slowly.
A cart full of copper coins walking on the street is particularly eye-catching.
But it did not cause panic, and there was no looting.
Copper coins are the mainstream currency of this era and the only currency recognized by the government.
Although gold and silver brocades can be used as money, they have never had a legal identity.
Therefore, whenever there is a large transaction, you will often see a cart of copper coins appear during the transaction.
The common people have already taken it off.
However, anyone who dared to drive a car, carrying a cart of coins on the street, was a person who was either rich or noble. It was not something ordinary people could afford to offend. They might have to lose their heads. Few people of the giant gold dared to be malicious.
The sound of Liu Heng driving through the market with copper coins soon spread to the liquor store on the same street.
Kou Ji drank sweet wine in a wine shop near the water and watched the thousand sails racing on the river. When he heard the news, he smiled knowingly.
"Hurry up, we still have business to do after we finish."
Kou Ji urged him to count the two treasures of broad beans one by one, and slowly got up.
Er Bao was learning from the poor scholars at the next table, counting broad beans, stuffing them one by one into his mouth, chewing slowly and tasting the taste of broad beans. He was a little panicked when Kou Ji said he was leaving.
"Master, wait for me..."
While Er Bao called to make Kou Ji wait for him, he picked up the plate of broad beans on the table, poured all his brains into his front, tightened his belt, and made sure that they would not fall out. Ran to Kou Ji and followed.
After Kou Ji left the wine shop, Chief Kou took out a handful of copper coins from the coat, spilled it on the table, and followed.
After you sing, we will be on stage.
Liu Heng's task is completed, and then it's Kou Ji's.
Kou Ji took Erbao and the head of Kou Mansion, and the three of them walked along Zhouqiao Street to the front of the Ziqi Gambling House.
"Oh, Lord, are you going to play two?"
The Qingpi gangster who was guarding the door of the Ziqi Gambling House saw Kou Ji's extraordinary clothes and wanted to come to the Ziqi Gambling House.
Kou Ji smiled and said, "I heard that there is a person named Wu Ming in your gambling house?"
Qingpi was taken aback for a moment, looked up and down Kou Ji, and said with a weird expression: "Do you know Erye Wu?"
"If Erye Wu in your mouth is Wu Ming, then we are family friends."
Kou Ji still smiled and said.
Qingpi Hunhu grinned and said: "So you are Wu Erye's benefactor, please ask from inside, the villain will let people help you to call Wu Erye."
Kou Ji nodded, and under the guidance of Qingpi gangster, he entered the purple gas gambling house.
There are two blue curtains blocking the entrance of the casino, and the scene inside cannot be seen from the outside.
He opened the curtain and just entered the gambling house, Kou Ji had the urge to turn around and go out.
Before he could watch the scene in the casino, he couldn't open his eyes because of the pungent smell of sweat and feet.
Kou Ji's eyes widened, forcing himself to step into the Ziqi Gambling House.
If it weren't for his important matters, he really didn't want to enter this place.
It's noisy in the casino.
There are all kinds of people, most of them are the people in the market, or the people on the streets.
There are almost no people with faces and gorgeous clothes.
After the guardian Qingpi took Kou Ji into the gambling house, he walked directly to the private room inside the gambling house.
The area of the Ziqi Gambling House is very large. In addition to the gathering place for gambling, there are also many elegant rooms, which are specially prepared for the big and famous people.
The private room that the guardian Qingpi leads Kou Ji into is the largest private room in the Ziqi Gambling House.
There are also many people in the private room. Judging by their clothes and the money they bring, they are obviously more identifiable than those outside.
They gathered around three gambling tables and were fighting hard.
Kou Ji glanced at each table. They were Pai Gow, Dice, and Shuanglu.
Shuanglu is a kind of board game. There is a gambling board with 30 chess pieces placed on the plate. The height is about 15 inches, the base diameter is about one and a half inches, half white and half black.
It's a bit like Western chess, but it's different from Western chess in gameplay and layout.
To play Shuanglu, you need to roll the dice and count the dice as the basis of the movement of the pieces. Whoever removes all the pieces from the board first wins.
It is a very interesting game.
It's a pity that it has been lost in later generations, so Kou Ji doesn't understand this thing.
The gatekeeper led Kou Ji to the room, and after reporting to the little boss in the room, he left the room.
Outside the private room, in a place that Kou Ji couldn't see, the gatekeeper's green-skin hoax pouted and muttered disdainfully, "It's another fat sheep who was tricked into being slaughtered... Rich man, really stupid..."
In his tone, there is a taste that can't eat grapes and dislikes the sourness of grapes.
Kou Ji in Yajian didn't know that he had become a stupid fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered in the eyes of others.
Not long after Kou Ji stayed in the private room, a figure opened the curtain and walked in.
After patrolling the room for a while, his eyes fell on Kou Ji, and then he heard his excited voice sound.
"Is it Kou Ji Kou Xian Nephew?"
