Chapter 899: A Gambler
Fang Zheng smiled slightly. When he was being interrogated last time, he just hinted quietly. Unexpectedly, Zuo Pingdao guessed the bet and immediately went to find out his background. No wonder His Highness and the consort had promised to deal with Zuo easily before they left.
Pingdao.
"Although this bet is one word, it involves thousands of things. The small bet is not about ordinary gameplay, but..." Fang Zheng dipped his fingers in water and wrote two words on the table - stone.
"Gambling on stones?" Zuo Pingdao instantly accepted this explanation. If there is any gambling method that can make a huge profit, gambling on stones is definitely one of them. This is probably one of the fastest ways to make money in the world!
The stone is actually wool, an unpolished primitive jade. The jade is wrapped in a stone shell. It is unknown whether there is jade inside without removing the shell and polishing. Someone bought the raw stone with a small amount of money, but when it was opened, it was full of green.
Get rich suddenly.
But as the saying goes, nine out of ten bets lead to ruin, and those who bet on stones are more likely to lose their fortune!
Fang Zheng patted his belly and did not deliberately show the scars on his hands, but those rough marks happened to fall in Zuo Pingdao's eyes. Fang Zheng said with a smile: "This young man has some gambling luck, and he knows how to give up when he sees good things.
"
"The word gambling is nothing more than a greedy word. If you can't get it and stop it in time, I'm afraid you will lose all your money. Every time I win a bet, I will save 80% of the money I win and only use the remaining 20%.
Let’s play again.”
"I don't invest all my wealth in it every time. I keep going back and forth and accumulate a lot of wealth. However, after a big defeat, I decided to stay away from the stone gambling den. It is better to do some ordinary business to support myself."
Fang Zheng is a person who is extremely proficient in jade, which is why Qin Feng and Xiao Lingyao chose him.
Zuo Pingdao is a very serious person. If there is no sufficient reason to convince him, it will be difficult for him to be convinced. What kind of person is Fang? In fact, not many people know. What they want to present to Zuo Pingdao must be a real image.
Although this secret guard is old, he fits all aspects of Fang Zheng. His area of expertise can also perfectly explain the source of silver coins. Moreover, the largest stone gambling center is not in the capital, and the journey there takes more than a month.
Not to mention whether Zuo Pingdao will get to the bottom of the matter, even if he really goes to the largest stone betting ground to investigate, Liu Changsheng has arranged the ears and eyes there to ensure that he will "gain".
After Fang Zheng finished speaking, he narrowed his eyes and suddenly heard Zuo Pingdao say: "I wonder if Boss Fang knows about cross locks?"
Tsk, is it possible that this dog officer is also an expert?
Fang Zheng couldn't hide the surprise on his face, and his eyes seemed to sparkle with light: "It turns out that you are also a good player. These cross locks are formed by splitting the locks in two or three directions into vertical intersections or nearly vertical intersections.
Very common.”
"Just because of the difference in size, there are big crosses and small crosses. Generally speaking, if there are such locks on the stone shell of the original stone, it will basically not be able to bloom green. But the excitement of gambling stones lies in this. The small ones were once in a piece of stone.
A piece was cut out of the rough stone covered with large crosses."
"That time, I made a big bet with a small fortune, but my bet was right." Fang Zheng said proudly: "This is probably a small fortune, otherwise it would be impossible to have the capital to negotiate business with the consort. The consort is really good at this business.
Very good."
After Zuo Pingdao heard this, he quickly turned his hand around the edge of the teacup. He couldn't tell whether he believed it or not.
After Fang Zheng finished speaking, he looked at Zuo Pingdao with a smile. Zuo Pingdao was an official, and his indulging in casinos was a bad virtue. The old guys from the Metropolitan Procuratorate would read a copy of them. If the emperor knew about it, he would probably not use it again, or even
Some people were demoted because of gambling.
Therefore, Zuo Pingdao should be proficient but not good at it, and it is just used to test him.
Zuo Pingdao stared at Fang Zheng, and this time his eyes finally landed on the calluses on his hands, as well as several scars caused by old injuries: "That's it."
What is this like, do you believe it or not?
Fang Zheng cursed in his heart, but he had no intention of saying another word. As the saying goes, too many words can lead to many mistakes. Give Zuo Pingdao enough information to digest on his own. If he wants to check, then just check. Calculating the time, the Prince Consort and the others will have already done so.
Away from the capital city.
Zuo Pingdao finally stood up: "Thank you, Boss Fang, for your cooperation."
He didn’t say whether he would come back again. He didn’t touch any of the fresh fruits on the table, he didn’t drink a sip of the tea, he just threw up his sleeves and left!
After sending this great god away, Fang Zheng touched his nose. Well, this pretentious job is actually not easy to do. Being stared at by Zuo Pingdao's sinister eyes always makes people feel creepy!
Zuo Pingdao came out of Fang Zheng's mansion and clasped his hands together. The lingering feeling hit his heart again!
Everything seemed to be taken for granted, but he always felt that something was wrong. It seemed that everything was too logical. He tried to find some flaws in it, even a trace.
Standing in front of the Fang Mansion, you could just see the city wall in the distance, slightly peeking out from the bustling capital city. From the ground, the three of them followed the funeral procession out of the city in a dignified manner, leaving midway.
Those horses should have been prepared in advance, but they had no way of knowing where His Majesty would order them to rest, so...
Zuo Pingdao raised the corner of his mouth, so he prepared horses at every resting place. No matter where they rested, they had horses available. In order to escape from the capital, they made great efforts!
All this happened during the wake. He planned everything through his illness, but Qin Feng was so lucky that he found a new home that he could take over in a short time. The property of the Princess's Mansion and the Prince's Mansion were emptied out. It must have been early.
The land was sent out of the city.
The action is so fast and the plan is so thorough, just to escape from the capital and take revenge on His Majesty? The so-called abandonment of father and mother, and the old grudge against the Queen are all so reasonable, but, but, under the rules of Dongyue, such
The behavior is too bold!
Zuo Pingdao had a splitting headache. He only regretted that he had only practiced foreign martial arts and could not resist Zhao Lun's seventh-grade master. He could only watch them go away. He really couldn't swallow this breath, but what could he do now?
!
In the blink of an eye, several days had passed since the queen's funeral ceremony. The news that Princess Jinhua, the consort, and the fifth prince had left the capital finally came out. It was said that it was discovered by merchants who delivered food to these two houses.
No purchases.
The last purchase amount should have been consumed long ago. The news became more and more intense for a while, and finally spread.
This news made Qin Zuohuai feel uneasy. He wanted to take Qin Qi back to his mansion. Qin Qi and Que Lou Mingyue disappeared. He wanted to restore old friendship with Liu Yuan, let Qin Feng return to Qin Mansion, and bring back the dead Princess Jinhua.
He also served as a backer for the Taifu Mansion.
