Chapter 82 Five hundred fifty million

Zhang Ben and Huang Qi heard this, although they still felt a little sad for the red blood ginseng, but they also felt that what their boss said was not unreasonable, so when they returned to the shop, they simply put the red blood ginseng in the medicine box, and the price was much higher than The market price is a little lower.

Although Huang Qi and Zhang Ben did not show off as much as expected, they admired Su Chengying even more in their hearts.

Soon, news spread that Su Chengying went to Guo's house to obtain red blood ginseng.

Many people who needed red blood ginseng to treat their illnesses came rushing in. They originally wanted to try their luck, even if they could just buy it back at a high price, so when they learned that the red blood ginseng in the shop was not only sold to the public, but also When the price is still far below the market price...

The shops owned by Su Chengying were instantly in the hearts of the people.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a leap of thousands of feet.

In just a moment, the business of several shops was unprecedentedly hot.

Su Chengying returned to the Duke's Mansion in a carriage. As soon as she got off the carriage, she saw a middle-aged man blocking the front door.

This man was dressed in commoner clothes, with flesh all over his body, and striking scars running through his entire face.

Seeing Su Chengying go up the steps, the man looked at her without hesitation. When he noticed that Su Chengying was not panicked, he stared at Su Chengying wantonly.

Su Chengying grew up in the military. To put it bluntly, she grew up among men. She has seen all kinds of people from all walks of life, and now she is familiar with and understands the aura of men.

After she returned to the courtyard, she called Zhang's mother over, "Looking outside the door, they should be people from the gambling house. Can you please mother go to the main courtyard to find out the news and see if something happened to the young father-in-law."

Zhang’s mother was stunned for a moment, “Your Highness, Princess, knows about gambling?”

"It's not about knowledge. It's just that in the past, when the soldiers were tired and bored in the Su family's army, they would play small bets to entertain themselves, and those who got involved in gambling would have a special smell on their bodies."

As for why Su Chengying thinks of Dongfang Yuebai...

It's an intuition.

Mother Zhang didn't dare to delay, so she quickly opened the curtain and went out.

At the same time, the man with the scarred face was invited into the main courtyard first.

When the man saw the old lady, he was respectful, clasped his fists and said, "The young Minghuo Dao is the steward of Jindong Gambling House..."

The old lady didn't like the man's behavior very much. She frowned and asked, "If you have anything to say, just say it."

Huo Dao said happily, "Today, the young master lost money in the gambling house. I came to get the money and go back to help the young master redeem himself."

The old lady was not surprised and snorted coldly, "It's just that I owe some money, so why go into such a big fight?" After saying that, she looked at Song's mother, "Go and get him some money." Huo Dao said, "A total of 3000 million silver. I wonder if the old lady plans to give it in banknotes or in cash?"

It was Mother Song who was going to get the money. Her legs went weak and she almost sat down on the ground.

Five hundred and thirty million silver?
It's not enough to sell the Duke's mansion!

The old lady was also shocked, looked at Huo Dao and said, "I didn't know there was such a big deal in Shangjing Gambling House."

Huo Dao explained, "The young master did not lose the money in the gambling house, but lost such a sum by betting against others. Even if he got the money, the gambling house would only take [-]% of the money. I came here because my young master is a frequent visitor to the gambling house, so I just wanted to do a favor."

The old lady squeezed the crutch in her hand, "What if I don't give it to you?"

Huo Dao said truthfully, "The person who bet against the young master has said that if he can't get the money, he will take one of his arms or one of his legs."

The major gambling houses in Beiliang and Beijing are big tax collectors every year, so Beiliang's national laws are relatively permissive when it comes to casinos. To put it bluntly, as long as you step into a casino, no matter what your status is, you are willing to admit defeat. Yamen Never interfere in it.

The old lady knew that this matter was not trivial, so she asked Huo Dao to go back first. Huo Dao was happy, turned around and left. When they went out, the old lady quickly called the eldest lady Liu and Duke Feng'en.

After hearing the ins and outs of the matter, Madam Liu was the first to speak, "People must be saved, but how can such a large amount of money be scraped together? Why not sell the Duke's Mansion..."

Duke Feng En was just lucky. When he heard this, he immediately burst out in anger, "What are you selling? That evil will only cause trouble all day long. In my opinion, it would be more pleasant to die outside!"

The old lady gave Duke Feng En a serious look, "You didn't discipline Yue Bai when you were a child, but now you despise Yue Bai and feel embarrassed?"

Duke Feng Enguo said loudly, "Mother, how long will you continue to tolerate that evil?"

The old lady said one word at a time, "I'm afraid you have forgotten, he is your own son! He is also the eldest grandson of the Duke of this country! If something really happens to Yue Bai, your Duke Don’t even think about the glory on my face!”

Duke Feng En was instantly discouraged and remained silent.

The eldest lady Liu glanced at her husband quietly, and felt panic in her heart, fearing that he would really sell everything to save Dongfang Yuebai. Her eyes turned red, and she cried and said, "What the old lady said is that Yuebai has a valuable status, and since Nothing can happen, but if we really sell everything to rescue Yue Bai, won't we still have to drag Yue Bai into suffering with us in the future?"

"And, there are brothers and sisters in this house, how should I explain to them?" The more the eldest lady Liu spoke, the more tears she shed. She suddenly pulled her husband's sleeve and said tremblingly, " Le Tong and Jun Lin have traveled abroad for many years in order to bring glory to the Duke's government and share the worries of their families. But if they wait for them to come back, they find that their families are gone, how sad they would be..."

Duke Feng En knew that his two sons and daughters were still running around for the glory of the family. Now that the eldest lady Liu mentioned it like this, how could he not be entangled and shaken?
But before he could speak, the old lady looked at the eldest lady Liu and said, "Now I want you to think of a solution. What are you doing by involving Le Tong and Jun Lin? If Le Tong and Jun Lin are really sensible, They will never watch their eldest brother have his hands and feet amputated outside!"

The eldest lady Liu hated the old lady's favoritism in her heart, but she did not dare to show anything on her face. She knew that she was not as important as the old lady in the family affairs of the Duke's Mansion, so she simply stared at the ground and fainted. Go die.

Duke Feng En was startled, and he quickly bent down and picked him up, "Here, come to the doctor quickly!"

Seeing Duke Feng En hugging his eldest lady Liu and turning away, the old lady's forehead was beating tight. As the mistress of the house, Mrs. Liu has all the land deeds in the house in her hands. If she waits for her to wake up, If I sell it again, where will it be too late?
