The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 78
In the following days, Liu Chan obediently stayed in Zhuge Mansion for three days according to Zhuge Qiao's arrangement.During the period, both Sun Huan and Gu Tong visited Liu Chan once.

These days, Zhuge Qiao is actually quite busy with Jiangdong’s intelligence affairs, and he really doesn’t have much time to spend with him. Fortunately, there is Zhuge Rong in this family, as well as these new friends, otherwise life would be really boring.

On the second day, Liu Chan finally got the spy's report from Zhuge Qiao.The content about Gu Shao recorded in it is much more detailed than what Zhuge Rong and others know.From Gu Shao's birth to his enlightenment teacher to how to enter the official career, daily living habits, favorite and most hated people and things, what is his private life, etc., as long as Liu Chan can want to know, there is everything here.

Liu Chan summed it up, this Gu Shao's character is indeed good, there are almost no flaws in his private life and living habits, but the life of such a person seems too boring, right?
Thinking of this, Liu Chan couldn't help but smile wryly. A person who is too simple is too boring. If he is a person who knows everything about eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, isn't it interesting?Therefore, Liu Chan is quite satisfied with Gu Shao, and if he entrusts Sun Shangxiang to him, he can rest assured.

But the report is a report after all, and there are so many tricks used to cheat, it is really difficult for people who read it to see which parts of them have been investigated, and which parts are only used to deal with the superiors.Therefore, out of the need for safety, Liu Chan felt that it was still necessary for him to personally verify Gu Shao's two key points.

Therefore, during these three days, Liu Chan didn't spend all his time eating, drinking and having fun. After all, he was still an aspiring young man, and he didn't like to indulge in pleasure. After all, it would be a waste of good time to do that.So, the next day, he ordered the servants in Zhuge Mansion to bring a whole hundred gold to Gu Mansion and hand it over to Gu Shao in the name of thanks.

One hundred gold is enough to be regarded as a huge sum of money. Once Zhao Yun made a great contribution, and the reward he received was only fifty gold.So such a sum of money, it's hard not to be thrilled.

However, some were beyond Liu Chan's expectation, and some were expected. Gu Shao simply refused to accept these "thanks" from Liu Chan, and asked the servant to return them intact.Moreover, he also wrote a letter to Liu Chan quite politely, and he spent some words in the letter to thank Liu Chan for his kindness, but he couldn't accept it, hoping that Liu Chan would not mind it and so on.

Liu Chan handed the letter to Zhuge Qiao to read, and said with a smile, "Gu Xiaoze always acts so thoughtfully, doesn't he hurt people's feelings?"

Zhuge Qiao nodded, approvingly said: "The Gu family has always acted rigorously, and they have never violated the rules. This is a family with strict family traditions. Gu Xiao really has the style of being a father!"

Liu Chan nodded, quite agreeing with Zhuge Qiao's words.In fact, there is quite a difference between the so-called aristocratic family and the power of Han Long.

Those aristocratic families are usually inherited with a lot of family history, and the family rules are quite strict, so most of the family children educated are quite well-cultivated people.For example, Zhongyou's family in Yingchuan has strict family rules. Even if his two sons are very hungry, they dare not take food without authorization while he is sleeping.Therefore, it is not unreasonable for these families to become more and more powerful in the future.

Of course, in Liu Chan's view, these aristocratic families are actually quite harmful to the country.However, it is impossible for him to do anything to them now.

Liu Chan began to think, since this Gu Shao is not greedy for money, then he will start to think of new ways to try.It just so happened that Gu Tong came tonight.Liu Chan was overjoyed and called out to God to help me, because he had already thought of how to test Gu Shao.He personally went to the gate to welcome Gu Shao in.

In fact, although Liu Chan did not go to Gu Shao's family's banquet, but from Zhuge Rong's anxious look, he could know how beautiful the singers in his family were.Therefore, Liu Chan decided to get some beauties from Gu Tong and give them to Gu Shao. If he was reluctant to send them back, it would prove that he is the kind of hypocrite who values ​​sex but not wealth.

In fact, in Liu Chan's view, such a person is even more hateful than being greedy for money.Then, Gu Shao must be half-hearted towards Sun Shangxiang in the future, and of course Liu Chan cannot hand Sun Shangxiang over to such a person.Liu Chan even had an evil thought in his heart. If Gu Shao was really such a person, he would simply cut the grass and root out the root, so as to eliminate future troubles forever!

After Liu Chan welcomed Gu Tong in, the two came to the place where Liu Chan and Zhuge Qiao lived, where the food and wine had been set up, and Zhuge Rong had already sat there and poured himself a drink.

Gu Tong said with a smile: "Are you the son of this family? Why are you so incapable of being a man? When a friend comes, it's fine if you don't go out to greet him, but you don't even have to stand up to greet him..."

Zhuge Rong glanced at Gu Tong, waved his hands and said, "Don't do this with me. Every time you come to my house, when have you been more polite?"

Gu Tong laughed dryly, he was too familiar with Zhuge's mansion, he would come here once every three days or so, and he was almost as familiar with his own home.Therefore, he didn't need to be greeted by Liu Chan at all, and he took his seat by himself.

In fact, none of these three people are masters of politeness. Liu Chan is indeed more particular in front of strangers, but that is just a necessary etiquette.Now, he is friends with Zhuge Rong and Gu Tong, and seeing that their behavior is quite loose, he wants to get along with them again, so he no longer restrains himself.

The three of them were drinking and talking nonsense, laughing constantly.

When the three of them got drunk, Liu Chan saw that Gu Tong had drunk a little too much, and now everyone was very excited, so he said to Gu Tong: "Brother Da Yuan, I often hear that Yue Nu is outstanding, and I saw Mrs. Zhou the day before yesterday. Mrs. Bu and Mrs. Bu are really comparable to heaven and man. I wonder how beautiful those singing girls in your family are?"

As soon as he mentioned the singing girls, Gu Tong's interest suddenly became stronger, his face was full of complacency, and he said with a smile: "Although the singing girls in my family are far less beautiful than those two ladies, most of them are worthy Excellent."

Liu Chan looked at Zhuge Rong.Since Zhuge Rong had been arguing with Gu Tong everywhere since he entered the door just now, Liu Chan wanted to hear his opinion.

Zhuge Rong glanced sideways at Gu Tong, and unexpectedly stopped arguing with him, but said enviously: "This is quite true! The only thing his family can be proud of is those few singing girls."

Since even Zhuge Rong agreed with Gu Tong's point of view, Liu Chan no longer had doubts about the quality of those singers.

Liu Chan cautiously asked Gu Tongtong: "Since this is the case, I don't know if brother Da Yuan can give up one or two singers to my younger brother? My younger brother will definitely offer a generous reward!"

Liu Chan has even made up his mind that if Gu Tong is willing to part with him, he can give Gu Tong the one hundred gold, which is enough to buy a dozen or twenty ordinary singers.

Although Gu Tong was drinking a little too much now, he was still a little sober. He waved his hands and said, "No, no, it's easier to talk about other things, but those singers are not allowed. If I gave it to you, wouldn't I be gone? "

Liu Chan said: "I only want one or two, not all of them."

Gu Tong still shook his head and said no, which made Liu Chan feel a little disappointed.In fact, as long as he has money, he is not afraid that he will not be able to buy a beautiful and talented singer, but there is not enough time now, and the place is unfamiliar, so where can he find it?That's why he had no choice but to focus on Gu Tong.

Zhuge Rong was also drunk, and suddenly put the wine glass heavily on the table, made a very loud sound, and said angrily: "Gu Tong, why are you so stingy! Brother Yang just wants you to sing a song or two!" Is it just Ji? And they didn't want you for nothing!"

Gu Tong immediately threw the wine glass to the ground, shattered it into pieces, and said angrily, "If I don't give it to you, so what?"

Liu Chan saw that the two of them were talking about the wine, and knew that they were insane. It seems that the wine quality is really not that good!If they go on like this, maybe they will fight with each other.

Liu Chan had no choice but to persuade: "You two, you don't have to quarrel. How can a man disregard his brother's loyalty for the sake of a woman?!" Then, he raised the wine on the table and drank it all.Seeing this, Ge Rong and Gu Tong started applauding at the same time.

But in fact, Liu Chan has other ideas now, and said: "As the saying goes, 'It's hard to eat without wine, and you lose your interest if you have wine'. Now we have wine and food, and we only need to gamble a few hands! How do you feel?"

Zhuge Rong and Gu Tong were gamblers, so naturally they responded loudly.Liu Chan asked Zhao Feng, who was guarding at the side, to fetch a pair of dice, and then nodded to him.Zhao Feng naturally understood what Liu Chan meant, and wondered when did he become a cheater?
Thus, a gamble was laid out.With the help of Zhao Feng's hand strength and internal strength, and the fact that the two were already drunk, Liu Chan easily killed the two without leaving any behind.

In the end, Gu Tong lost all his money and belongings, almost even betting on his underpants.Liu Chan was waiting for this opportunity, so he offered to lend him the money, and personally drew up an IOU, asking Gu Tong to stamp his fingerprint on it before giving him the fifty gold.

After doing this, Liu Chan got a few guards and asked them to take the IOUs, take Gu Tong's carriage to Gu Tong's mansion to pick the two most beautiful singers, and send them to Gu Yong's mansion to hand over to Gu Shao.

The reason why Liu Chan dared to do this was because there was a sentence written on the IOU: The fifty gold is mortgaged by the second singer in the family, and the principal must be returned at Maoshi, otherwise the mortgaged things will be confiscated, and the certificate will be effective immediately!
In other words, from the moment Gu Shao pressed his fingerprints, the two most beautiful singers of the Gu family had been mortgaged to Liu Chan.

Now that Zhao Feng is here, the money Gu Tong borrowed can only be lost again, plus he is already drunk now, and he will sleep until he wakes up before noon tomorrow, so how can he pay back the money from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-] in the morning Woolen cloth?Now it means that Liu Chan can take all those two beauties as his own, so he can give them to Gu Shao.

Moreover, with this document and Gu Tong's coachman present, if the guards go to Gu Tong's house to ask for someone, they have to be justified. On the one hand, because Liu Chan deliberately did not write the specific date of making the document, on the other hand, it can prove that Gu Tong's people are In Liu Chan's hands, he couldn't tolerate them not giving people.

In fact, they could even tell Gu Tong's family that they need to temporarily put the collateral under custody in order to be at ease, so what can they do?It can be seen how vague the content of this document written by Liu Chan is, there are so many gaps for people to exploit!
However, Liu Chan's use of this trick is really bad enough.I don't know if Gu Tong will be mad when he wakes up and knows that Liu Chan is messing with him like this, or will rush over to find Liu Chan immediately.And he did.
