As the eldest brother, Gu Changrui often cleaned up Huarong's messes. He and Zhao Han-chul chased all the way to the gambling house, only to find that the door was closed. Although the Gu family was not involved in the gambling house's business, they knew that if it was closed in the middle of the day, something bad must have happened.
Even if he didn't have common sense, his experience told him that something bad must have happened when his sister went in.
Usually, he would be able to deal with this kind of situation. He immediately ordered, "Go to the back door of the gambling house and check. If someone is going to call for help, stop them."
Zhao Han-chul thought that no wonder Gu Huarong could run amok in the capital. It turned out that his family not only did not discipline him strictly, but also helped to clean up after him.
After giving orders to his people, Gu Changrui bowed to Zhao Han-chul, "Crown Prince, I ask the Crown Prince to go to the magistrate's office. The son of the Zhenyuan General's family is also there. It's not good to hurt him."
Zhao Han-chul wanted to say, "Don't you feel guilty? Using the government to help your sister deal with the aftermath! What do you mean by worrying about the son of the Zhenyuan General's family? You're clearly only worried about your sister! You think I can't see it? In the capital, your sister is a dandy who bewitches the officials to follow her and be her protective umbrella. "
However, Gu Changrui looked worried, so he really couldn't expose him.
However, even if he did, Gu Changrui still had something to say. You officials protect each other, and you still have the nerve to mention it?
When the Yangzhou prefectural magistrate rushed over with his official hat in hand, there was already a mountain of silver and banknotes in front of Hua Rong. Dao Ba began to sweat profusely. Why haven't the people of the Dong family arrived yet?
Huarong saw him looking outside and said coldly, "Waiting for reinforcements? I forgot to tell you, my big brother is outside. My big brother is a gentleman. He can't stand people fighting and calling for help. You see, my big brother is outside, but I don't call for help. "
Scar knew that she was telling the truth and immediately knelt down. "Young Master, this lowly one has eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai. Please be magnanimous and let this lowly one go. If this continues, the gambling house will close down. If the gambling house closes, the owner will definitely kill this lowly one."
"What does your death have to do with me?" Huarong didn't care and spoke slowly.
Without waiting for Scar to speak, Young Master Lou, who had already lost so badly that he only had his underwear on, said weakly, "Can I go now? I don't have any more money. "
"Family Lou is a big family with a big business. How can they not have money? Here, I'll lend it to you. You can return it to me when you get home. "
As soon as he finished speaking, Shuxiu had already written an IOU and slapped it in front of Young Master Lou. "My family's young master will lend you three thousand taels of silver. The deadline is one day. If you don't return it within a day, interest will be charged for every tael of silver. If you don't return it within two days, interest will be charged for every tael of silver.
Young Master Lou was in so much pain that he only wanted to curl up in his beautiful concubine's belly. He didn't want to stay in the dark gambling house. He cried miserably, "Please let me go. I have no enmity with you."
"My family's boss let you gamble because he thinks highly of you." Lin Heqing pinched his neck. "With this little ability, you still want to stay in the gambling house. Don't you know that you should bring more people with you?"
Young Master Lou felt very wronged. He lived in Yangzhou. Yangzhou was a place of prosperity. At most, he would bring two or three servants with him. Moreover, they were all beaten black and blue. How could they be his opponent? As he thought about it, he looked up at Zhang Zigeng. Zhang Zigeng glared at him and immediately shrank back in fear.
"I, I'll bet." Young Master Lou swore in his heart that he would never come to this gambling house again.
Soon, he lost another three thousand taels of silver. Huarong stood up and patted his robe. "How boring. Is the beauty hungry? Let's go and eat. "
Scar breathed a sigh of relief. Family Lou's young master also breathed a sigh of relief. The gamblers and ruffians also breathed a sigh of relief. They watched as she left.
Gu Changrui waited for a long time and finally saw his younger sister come out. She was holding the hand of a devastatingly beautiful girl. Zhu Liu and the other servants were moving out box after box of silver.
"Big Brother, look. Silver." Huarong handed the banknotes to Gu Changrui as if he was presenting a treasure.
Gu Changrui didn't take it. He said coldly, "Your big brother has never seen silver before?"
"Big Brother, look. Beauty." Huarong pushed Ruyi over. "You haven't seen this before, have you?"
Ruyi was stunned. She had never seen anyone who didn't lose at gambling. And what kind of poison was that? She smelled it and was actually fine.
Gu Changrui took two steps back and bowed. "Miss, I've frightened you. My younger brother is naughty and mischievous. This one apologizes to you on his behalf."
Ruyi was trained to be a lady from a noble family. She responded appropriately. "Young Master is too polite. The young master didn't hurt me. He took good care of me."
"Big Brother doesn't know that I'm the most protective of women. Isn't that right, Miss Ruyi?"
She was clearly a girl, but Ruyi had no choice but to play along. Even though she was overflowing with talent and stunning appearance, she had to carefully accompany him. At first, she didn't want to expose him, but now she didn't dare. She wasn't afraid of power, but she was even more afraid of people who weren't afraid of power and weren't afraid of desperadoes.
"The young master is very good."
"Let's go, let's go. We're born to be good people. Miss Ruyi, you won't refuse, right?" Huarong blinked his eyes. His smile was much more sincere than it was in the gambling house.
Ruyi nodded and let Huarong pull her along the street. Shuxiu had already gotten a luo pan from somewhere and was banging it. "Today, my young master is in a good mood. He's going to be the Child of Wealth. Everyone, quickly come and pick up the silver."
Huarong completely treated himself as a playboy. He held Ruyi's hand the whole time, then took out the silver from the box with his other hand and threw it out. Not only did she throw it out herself, but she also let Ruyi throw it out as well.
Zhao Han-chul lowered his voice and said to Gu Changrui, "Brother Gu, your sister is a typical example of someone who doesn't know how expensive tea, rice, oil, and salt are. She just throws away the shining silver as she pleases."
Gu Changrui followed behind and said unhurriedly, "The Gu family eats clean food and uses clean money. We don't touch this kind of money."
Zhao Han-chul was a little jealous. Rich people were indeed different. If he had these big boxes of silver, the Duke's Public House could also be repaired.
A Child of Wealth came to the city, bringing the world-renowned courtesan Ru Yi with him. They were currently throwing money around, and this news quickly spread. "Isn't this the young master who just came the other day?"
"You've seen him before?"
"There are dozens of armed escorts. That's a big show of extravagance."
"No wonder he doesn't care about the silver. It turns out he's rich."
After the rich Huarong finished distributing the money, he left Ruyi at the inn. Zhang Xiaotian, Lin Heqing, and Lai Jiu took turns to please her. She, on the other hand, was being lectured by her eldest brother.
"This is not the capital. What if I'm not outside and you're surrounded and can't get out? Who's going to save you? "
"How can there be so many what-ifs? I only dared to fight because I know you're outside. I only wanted to meet that Young Master Lou. Who asked you to chase me? " Huarong pouted. He didn't admit his mistake at all. "Besides, I have the bewitching powder that Second Uncle brought from beyond the Great Wall. Those people can't hit me at all."
Gu Changrui sighed. He thought that Second Uncle was too much. Why did he bring the bewitching powder back? But it was strange. This medicine was very magical. No one could make it. It was even more priceless in the market. "I can't control it. When we return to the capital, I'll ask your mother to beat you up."
Huarong chuckled. "Eldest Brother will definitely forget about it when he returns to the capital."
Gu Changrui shook his head. He didn't know what to do with this younger sister. "Okay, okay. Let's go eat. Quickly send that Ruyi away."
"Eldest Brother doesn't want to see such a beauty?"
Gu Changrui poked her forehead. "She's not as pretty as your sister-in-law."
Huarong was let go. She happily went out to find Ruyi. She still liked to look at beauties. It was said that looking at beautiful people or things could prolong one's life. She treated it as nourishing her health.
"That's right." Before leaving, Gu Changrui remembered that he still had something important to say. "That Young Master Lou might be the Eighth Prince."
