Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

"Ah, no, no, no..." The servant girl retreated again and again, then knelt down on the ground and cried loudly, "Master, please forgive me, how dare you beat Master Yue, you will be struck by a thunderbolt."

Su Mu didn't expect such a big reaction from the maid, and was very annoyed: "Xiaodie, you go."

Xiaodie also took a step back in fear: "No way, I heard people say that this master Juren is a star from the sky, and if he hits him, he will be punished."

"Yes, yes, sister Xiaodie is right."

Everyone took another step back and said repeatedly: "My lord, why don't you do it yourself, beating up people is all stars in the sky, no one can repay anyone else?"

"Forget it, I'll come!" Su Mu raised his hand.

At this moment, there was a "crack", and then another loud cry.

Looking back, it turned out to be Miss Wu.

Miss Wu was amused when she heard the maids say "Everyone is a star, no one can repay anyone", but when she saw that Su Mu was about to slap her father, she burst into tears again.

She cried, and several servant girls also cried.

Su Mu was suddenly discouraged, and his heart moved: This Wu Juren might one day become my Su Mu's father-in-law of Taishan, and it is unfilial for the younger generation to beat the elders.If this is the case, I, Su Mu, will be another stain when I enter the political arena in the future.If caught by the enemy, it will be troublesome to be charged with a crime of "deficiency of virtue".

This hand must not move.

However, without slapping him, Wu Juren's illness would not be cured.

Su Mu thought for a while, and thought: "Yes, I will find someone who dares to do it."

Suddenly, Wu's second son's greasy face appeared in front of Su Mu.At the beginning, when he first moved into the small courtyard of Long Zai's house, the old Juren also cursed at the second child, but unfortunately the second child Wu dismissed it, and directly carried the old Juren back to the house and threw him on the bed.

This guy is a hob meat, so cheap.

Naturally, it would be best to use him to deal with Wu Juren. This time, let the old gentleman know what it means to be a scholar and a soldier.

Indeed, scholars in the Ming Dynasty had a distinguished status.Especially juren, that's the master, most people don't dare to beat them, because they will have to sue.

But if the people above Juren are all respectable, how could they listen to Su Mu and come over and slap the old Juren, wouldn't that be nonsense?

After much deliberation, only Wu Lao Er is the most useful candidate.

After finishing speaking, Su Mu said, "I'll go out for a while."

Turning around and about to leave, Xiaodie said, "Master, where are you going? What about Master Wu?"

Miss Wu also raised her head.

Su Mu said softly to Ms. Wu: "Miss Wu, I'm going to look for the second son. Since you moved here, the second son hasn't been here. I think the old man also misses this son in his heart. Maybe, Wu's second son When you come back, the old man is in a good mood, and he is cured of his illness!"

Miss Wu nodded, and cried again: "Zi Qiao, hurry up and call the second child... But, the capital is so big, how can we find him?"

"Don't worry, don't worry, it only takes two hours to find him, trust me."

Su Mu also has this confidence, as long as Wu and Lao are in the capital, he has this confidence.

Just kidding, with Jin Yiwei here, who can't find him?

If Jinyiwei fails, there will be Dongchang!

……

Modern people don't know that the household registration system of the Ming Dynasty was much stricter than that of later generations. Whether it was a city or a village, the Li Bao system was implemented. If a family had something to do, one Bao and one Li would sit together.

For example, if someone’s house catches fire, the neighbors must go to fight the fire, otherwise they will be guilty of the same crime as the arsonist.

The capital city is even more formidable, not only Libao Lianzuo, but every district has Jinyiwei guards, Dongchang's detectives, and the streets are patrolled by Yamen servants from Shuntianfu Yamen.

Given Su Mu's current special relationship with the factory guard, finding someone in the capital is just a matter of one sentence.

After leaving home, Su Mu quickly contacted Zhang Yong and asked him to help find a rogue named Wu Nianzu.

Then I went to the Baihu Office under the jurisdiction of Hu Jinxue, and together with him, I searched mountains and seas in several major sensual places in the capital to find people.

At the same time, there was a rumor in the entire capital that the government and factory guards were looking for a person surnamed Wu.

The so-called Daxing refers to the underworld organization in the Ming Dynasty, mainly engaged in side businesses such as loan sharks and casinos.And if you want to do this kind of business with fast money in the capital, you will inevitably have contact with the government.

Hearing that such a little rogue had alarmed the factory guards, everyone was startled and terrified, and they all speculated about the origin of this person, causing such a big commotion.

He must be a hero without extravagance!

Suddenly, Wu Nianzu's name became famous in the underworld in the capital.

Some people even said to themselves when fighting with others: "Do you know who I am, Wu Nianzu is my big brother!"

*******************************************

It's a pity that Wu Nianzu didn't realize that he had become a banner figure in the capital's gaming industry at this moment. He had been in this casino for almost half a month.Her hair was a mess, her eyes were full of red threads, and the corners of her eyes were filled with gum, and she looked extremely depressed.

The name of the casino was Silver Hook, and it had just opened for less than two months. The owner was said to be a close friend of a big man in the court.

And who this big man is, ordinary people have no way of knowing.All I know is that since the opening of the Silver Hook Casino, the Yamen servants from Shuntian Mansion have not come to bother me once.Not only that, even the vicious and domineering Dongchang and Jinyiwei turned a blind eye to this casino, and had no intention of collecting money from the rules.You know, casinos like this are the main source of income for the two major yamen.

Therefore, some people guessed that the boss behind this scene must be one of the three attics.In other words, at least they are senior officials at the ministry level.

However, this boss has a lot of courage in starting a business, as long as he enters his casino, as long as he loses all the money on hand, he wants to borrow some.Make a note, press your fingerprints, and have as much as you want.

As for the interest, it is also fair.

Because of this, once the casino opened, business was booming.

Among them, there are naturally many people who want to take advantage and see if they can win a fortune.

Wu Laoer had this idea.

Speaking of these two months, he was lucky at the beginning, which almost gave him the illusion that his luck was about to change.

The matter started when Hu Ying was caught by King Huai and he ran to report to Zhang Yong.

After Zhang Yong left, he was locked in the house by a eunuch.Thinking of what the eunuch kept saying that he would beat him to death and feed him to the dogs, Wu Er Er was so frightened that his whole body went limp.

I thought that if I was locked up for a long time, I would let him go home.

But I don't want to, I live in Zhang Yong's house for half a month.

It turned out that Zhang Yong was so busy, but he forgot about him.Then came the death of Hongzhi, the succession of the new king, and then the rebellion of King Huai.The whole court was tossed about until the new year was over before it became stable, and when Zhang Yong went home after half a day's leisure, he found that Wu Er Er was still locked up here.

Angry and funny, he asked someone to give him 50 taels of silver to get rid of it.

Wu Lao Er was imprisoned here for half a month, full of fear and resentment, but when he saw the money, he became happy: Never mind, if you have money, you are a master, and half a month is 50 taels of silver.Don't talk about being locked up here, even if someone puts him in a sky prison, it's worth it.

As for Zhang Yong's identity, he didn't dare to ask.

After getting the money, Wu Laoer naturally lingered in Liuxiang, Huajie, eating, drinking, whoring and gambling.

As the saying goes, making money is like picking dirt with a needle, and washing sand with money like water.

50 taels of silver seems to be quite a lot, and it is already worth the assets of a middle-to-lower family.But according to Wu Laoer's method of spoiling, it only took a month, and it was completely used.

At this moment, he suddenly realized that he only had two denarii left in his family.

For example, Wu Laoer is a naughty guy who has no family, so if one person is full, the whole family is not hungry, and they are not in a hurry.I was thinking about what to do with the two coins, to see if I could turn over the book.

Coincidentally, Silver Hook Casino opened at this time. According to industry practice, new casinos usually have a big giveaway, and they lose some money, just to go there to take advantage of it.

It also coincided that the second child wanted to win, he was imprisoned in Zhang Yong's house for half a month, and after resting for such a long time, his hand was surprisingly smooth.As soon as I sat down, the two coins turned to 30 taels.

Ordinarily, with such a huge bargain, he should stop.

But Wu's second son didn't leave, and spent three days in the casino at one go, even turning the 30 taels to [-].

This annoyed the people in the casino. At the beginning, they deliberately lost some money to buy popularity.But you kid is ignorant, so don't blame us for being rude.

Next, Wu Er Er started to get unlucky and lost all the cash on hand in one go.

So, he embarked on the wrong road of borrowing usury.

He worked tirelessly for six days, ate two bites of pastries provided by the casino when he was hungry, and slept on a chair when he was tired. Up to now, he has accumulated more than 300 taels of foreign debt.

And these arrears are still rolling, and in just a few days, they will become a jaw-dropping astronomical sum.

"Open, open quickly!" Wu Er Er pointed to a position on the gaming table with red eyes: "Shunmen, ten taels!"

The clerk at the casino looked at Wu Er Er and smiled, but didn't move.

"What's the matter, I'm afraid I don't have any money? Open it quickly, and we'll talk about it later" Wu Erer asked with a pair of strange eyes.

The guy smiled apologetically: "What are you talking about, my lord? How could a villain think so. It's just that the owner has rules. This doesn't mean real money, so you can't open the market. Or, you..."

Wu Er Er said impatiently: "Bring a pen and paper, isn't it just to write a note?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Someone came over with a pen and paper, and said, "Why don't you borrow more, my lord. There are 50 taels here, so you can play a few more."

"You're a smart kid." The second child took the money with a smile, pressed his fingerprint on the IOU, and put ten taels of silver on it.

Not surprisingly, he lost naturally.

However, this Wu's second child had sex, and simply pressed ten or twenty taels, and in just a moment, he lost the whole game.

"Borrow some more!"

This time, there was no response.

The second child was furious and slapped the table: "Shopkeeper, bring some silver here!"

On the second floor of the casino, the shopkeeper of the casino was standing respectfully beside a man in Tsing Yi: "Boss, this rascal is obviously messing around. He already owes us several hundred taels for a while, and if he continues like this, it's not legal." Son. A few days ago, the guys wanted to collect the money on purpose, but they didn’t do anything because they were afraid of ruining the casino’s reputation. Today, by coincidence, you’re here, and I’d like to ask the owner to come up with a proposal.”

"Chop off his finger, 100 taels, just follow it!" The man in Tsing Yi turned around and said lightly.
