Prosperous Tang Dynasty

Chapter 9 The Challenge of the County Magistrate

"Cao Xiaopang, what kind of shit luck did you have to win so much money?" A young man in Chinese clothes who also held a fan appeared in front of Cao Xiaozhong with two Xiaosi.

Mr. Huayi is very brightly dressed, he looks much more flamboyant than Li Fei, he is a real son.

After being reminded by Zeng Aniu, Li Fei learned that this person was the son of Zhang County Magistrate's family, named Zhang Yuanming.

The clothes of a county magistrate are so bright. Looking at his clothes, I am afraid that there is no two or thirty taels of silver.

"Hey, what's wrong with your eyes? Did someone beat you? It's really --- too miserable!" Zhang Yuanming also noticed Cao Xiaozhong's panda eyes from Li Fei's punching, and immediately laughed.

Cao Xiaozhong's face twitched, he hated people calling him Fatty Cao, especially from Zhang Yuanming, and Zhang Yuanming laughed at him.

"Zhang Xiaoniao, it's none of your business. I'm lucky today, so I won the money! It's you, you must have lost miserably!" Cao Xiaozhong said angrily, Zhang Yuan called him Cao Xiaopang, and he called Zhang Yuan called Zhang Xiaoniao .

Calling the word Zhang Xiaoniao out of Cao Xiaozhong's mouth also made Zhang Yuanming extremely upset. The two are enemies, and they have become accustomed to mocking and tearing each other down when they meet.

Cao Xiaozhong really guessed right, Zhang Yuanming lost money, and even lost a full 100 taels.Originally thought that Desheng Chess Tower would spend a lot of effort to invite masters from Chang'an City to defeat Ji Lao in Chen's Chess Tower, but he didn't expect Ji Lao to turn defeat into victory in the end.

Zhang Yuanming was very annoyed, but to trouble Cao Xiaozhong, there are more opportunities. His target this time is Li Fei.

After a cold snort, he walked straight towards Li Fei and noticed that Li Fei had the same eye as Cao Xiaozhong.

"You are the young lady who came to Lin County Cheng's house, right? You also won money? I heard that you came from a remote Liuqiu Island. Could it be that you can also play Go? Hey, why does one of your eyes match Cao Xiaopang's?" It’s the same, but it’s very suitable for you.” Zhang Yuanming asked several questions, especially the last sentence, which made people feel that there was no friendliness.

Li Fei didn't know what the county magistrate wanted to do, so he replied calmly: "I was lucky to win a few. Although I come from Liuqiu, there are not many Han people in Liuqiu. My ancestors are also authentic Han people. Go is also popular in Liuqiu. , I have learned a little bit.”

"On a larger island, there are more savages. No matter how high the chess skill is, at most it will be covered with some fur, which is not enough to praise." Zhang Yuanming shook his head and said, his tone was bright and contemptuous.

"Not necessarily. Liuqiu is not far from the Central Plains. Whenever there is chaos in the Central Plains, many people always go to Liuqiu for refuge. Among them are many chess masters, and they bring many top chess records from the Central Plains. If you are talented, you can learn it all Superb chess skills are not necessarily difficult, for example, I——" Li Fei said here, his face was slightly shy, and he didn't know what modesty was at all.

In fact, Li Fei was playing tricks, he figured it out, the magistrate Zhang Yuanming was not only unfriendly to Cao Xiaozhong, but also unfriendly to him.

Li Fei can understand that County Magistrate Zhang has only been transferred to Xunyang County for only two years. Although he is a county magistrate, he is an outsider after all. The county magistrate was still young, so he naturally didn't listen to magistrate Zhang's words. As magistrate Zhang's son, the relationship between Zhang Yuanming and Cao Xiaozhong was not much better.

In the past, there was no man in the Lin family, so Zhang Yuanming was not easy to trouble a woman like Lin Shiyue. Now that Li Fei has become the son-in-law of the Lin family, he is considered a member of the Lin family. Responsibility, it's not surprising that I want to find fault with him when I meet him today.

There is one more thing that Li Fei doesn't know, that is, Zhang Yuanming is actually very fond of Lin Shiyue's beauty. The magistrate Zhang even went to the Lin family to propose Lin Shiyue for his son, and wanted to unite with the Lin family to suppress the Cao family. Women can't bear children, but their status and beauty are there, and there are benefits brought behind them, and they want children. It's not that the Zhang family can't afford to have three wives and four concubines.

It's a pity that Lin Siming is not stupid and doesn't intend to be used by Zhang County Magistrate. Besides, Lin Siming's son died at birth, and he only has one daughter, Lin Shiyue. He just wants to find a son-in-law to continue the incense of the Lin family.

Although the marriage proposal failed, Zhang Yuanming was impressed by Lin Shiyue's beauty, and he had proposed marriage before, so he did not know why, so he forcibly marked Lin Shiyue as his own. No matter which man marries Lin Shiyue, he will Extremely upset.

All in all, he just wanted to find fault with Li Fei.

Now that Li Fei heard it, of course he wanted to help Zhang Yuanming.

Sure enough, as soon as Li Fei said that he was superb at chess, Zhang Yuanming looked disdainful and contemptuous.

"Hehe, anyone can say big words, if you think you are very good at chess, why don't we kill a few games, then--" Zhang Yuanming glanced at Li Fei's waist, which was full of money, and continued: "Just ten How about a dish of two silver coins."

"Okay, let's kill a few games!" Li Fei chuckled, leaving aside Zeng A Niu who was trying to dissuade him, how could he let go of such a good opportunity, after all, the county magistrate's chess strength could not exceed Zhou's chess strength anyway. If there are two masters, Lao and Ji, then he has nothing to worry about.

Immediately, he and Zhang Yuanming walked to the nearest chessboard.

"Is there anyone starting a game?" Before playing chess, Li Fei shouted loudly.

The people at the scene hadn't dispersed yet, and they all looked at the boss who started the game just now.

Not every game of chess has someone start a game, at least to confirm whether the two players are colluding.Most of the time, when two highly respected people are playing chess, someone is willing to start a gamble.

The gambling boss was stunned for a moment, but he didn't think that Li Fei would collude with Zhang Yuanming. If he had the opportunity to open the gambling market, of course he would do it, and then he waved his hand.

"Open the gamble!"

"Betting on Mr. Zhang's victory, seven out of ten."

"Betting on Mr. Li's victory, ten pays twelve."

The gambling boss was smiling, he made a lot of money from the game between Zhou Lao and Ji Lao just now.You must know that the odds are allowed to be changed by the gambler. It is mainly to attract gamblers to place bets. It depends on the courage and specific operations of the gambler.

The gambler knew the identities of Zhang Yuanming and Li Fei, so he was obviously more optimistic about Zhang Yuanming.

Li Fei and Zhang Yuanming hadn't played a single chess piece yet, and the gambler directly hit the odds of one side at [-] to [-]. Immediately, many people who wanted to bet were dissatisfied, and they all called the gambler a black-hearted profiteer.However, those who want to bet are obviously more optimistic about Zhang Yuanming, the county magistrate.

They also know about Li Fei's 'legend'. It came from Liuqiu. They don't know how to cure Lin Shiyue, the only daughter of Lin Xiancheng, but at the same time, it also ruined Lin Shiyue's innocence. In the end, she was forcibly tied up by Lin Xiancheng to come to the door. son in law.
