I'm so hard

Chapter 261
clang!clang!clang!
There was a crisp sound of copper coins in the sieve.

Xiao Zijie's ears moved slightly, listening carefully to the voice inside.

Snapped!
The sieve cup was slapped on the table.

Xiao Zijie smiled lightly and said, "Yes!"

The pharmacist opened the sieve cup and took a closer look. Seven copper coins, four positives and three negatives, Xiao Zijie won.

After Xiao Zijie won the first prize, he took the lead in shaking the sieve cup.

Whoa!Whoa!Whoa!

His technique is skillful, and he looks like a veteran player who often haunts various fireworks and willow lanes.

The sieve cup falls.

The pharmacist said excitedly: "Reverse!"

The sieve cup was opened, and it was still four positives and three negatives, and Xiao Zijie won.

In less than ten interest time, the 1000 taels of banknotes were in hand.

"Go on!" Pharmacist licked his lips, with a stern smile on his face.

The two of them came and went, hardly stopping at all, which attracted the attention of many people around, and some girls with outstanding looks also came to the two of them, throwing a wink at them from time to time.

They knew very well that a young master who could gamble like this must be worth a lot of money, as long as they could get acquainted with him, they would be considered to have made money.

Soon, it was midnight.

Xiao Zijie had already put a large stack of banknotes in his hand, while Yao Shi only had a thin stack of banknotes beside him.

Basically, for every ten rounds, Xiao Zijie can win seven or eight rounds.

The pharmacist frowned. At this moment, he didn't realize that he was running out of bank notes, but only wanted to make money.

Two hours before dawn, Pharmacist lost all his bank notes, a total of 22 taels.

Xiao Zijie tidied up the hills of banknotes in his hand, looked at the still dark night outside, and murmured: "It's still two hours before dawn, it seems that we can't continue playing!"

Typical Versailles tone.

The pharmacist frowned slightly, stood up suddenly, and said, "Wait for me for half an hour, and I'll withdraw the money right away!"

If the pharmacist wants to get back his capital, he needs at least 10 taels of silver notes, and naturally no one here can lend him.

"Okay, I'll wait for you." Xiao Zijie said flatly.

Immediately, the pharmacist ran out the door.

And Kong Ze nodded towards Xiao Zijie.

He had already arranged that there would be soldiers from the Dragon Guards watching the pharmacist the whole time, to see who would lend him a huge amount of money in Dashou City.

Half an hour later, the pharmacist came back with a full 10 taels of silver bills in his hand. After he exchanged them for 1000 taels, he fought with Xiao Zijie again.

At this moment, Kong Ze had already left the Firework Pavilion.

For Xiao Zijie, the next competition is quite boring.

Because, he keeps winning.

The pharmacist is completely a gambler, always guessing blindly without any gambling skills.

Therefore, at dawn, only 10 taels of the 3000 taels of banknotes were left in his hand.

After another win, Xiao Zijie got up slowly and said: "It's dawn, let's go here today!"

After all, Xiao Zijie packed up the bank notes and prepared to leave.

But at this moment, the pharmacist seemed to wake up.

Overnight, he lost 32 taels of silver notes, which is definitely a sum that can be recorded in the unofficial history of Goryeo Fireworks and Liuxiang.

He slapped himself on the head hard, then watched Xiao Zijie leave.

After thinking for a moment, he also slowly walked out the door.

"No, I have to snatch the money back, and then kill this person!"

If you can't bet, I'll kill you.

However, when the pharmacist walked out of the Firework Pavilion, he suddenly found that he had no idea where Xiao Zijie had gone.

He ran for a few streets depressed, but after he didn't find Xiao Zijie's figure, he had to leave depressedly.

At this moment, Xiao Zijie was sitting in a carriage and was about to arrive at the place where he was temporarily staying.

He could guess that after losing a huge amount of wealth, the pharmacist would definitely have murderous intentions, so with the help of the Dragon Guard soldiers, he quickly hid himself.

Of course, he wasn't afraid of the pharmacist, but worried that if he exposed too much power, he would startle the snake and affect the investigation of the Caizhou embankment breach.

Soon, Xiao Zijie returned to a deep house where they lived, and he was eager to know who could give out the 10 taels of silver bills to the pharmacist in the middle of the night.

"Kong Ze, who did the pharmacist go to?" Xiao Zijie opened his mouth and asked.

Kong Ze took a sip of his tea and said, "Pu Changsu, Prime Minister of Korea, it's a pity that the Prime Minister's Mansion is heavily guarded, and our people were unable to go in and listen to their conversation."

The Prime Minister of Goryeo is equivalent to the Wen Xiang of the Great Zhou Dynasty, that is, the head of the court officials.

"The pharmacist can freely enter and leave the palace, and the Prime Minister of Korea is willing to give out 10 taels of silver notes for him in the middle of the night. What is the origin of this person? Even if the head of the Liuhai Kingdom comes personally, he cannot enjoy this kind of treatment. Bar!"

Kong Ze nodded approvingly, and said: "According to my estimation, the culprit of Caizhou's disaster must be the pharmacist. Last night, our people found a broken one thrown by those Liuhai people near that yard. The excavating tools are only owned by Liuhai people, and there is obviously yellow sand in the gaps between the tools. This kind of fine sand is unique to the Yellow River. As for whether the mastermind behind the scenes is Gaoli or Liu The sea country is unknown!"

Xiao Zijie paced back and forth, and said: "Then let's report this news to His Majesty first, and then follow up with the pharmacist to see what kind of relationship he has with the Koreans!"

"Alright, His Majesty must be impatient now. Let's let the imperial court know the news here, maybe they will find some clues in other places too!"

Immediately, the two of them flew pigeons to pass the letter to the court.

……

Five days later, the Chuigong Hall.

Zhao Yan took the note sent by Shen Tuyi, and said with a serious face: "I don't care whether it is Korea or Liuhai, as long as it is confirmed that they did it, I will let them destroy the country. If they are all involved, I don't recommend them Both countries perish."

Shen Tuyi at the bottom cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, if Koryo is destroyed, I would like to go, but if Liuhai Kingdom is destroyed, there may be some troubles!"

"What's the trouble?" Zhao Yan asked with some doubts.

"In our Great Zhou, most of the ships are merchant ships. Although there are warships, they are too big. There are hidden reefs around the Liuhai Kingdom, and those Liuhai people are well versed in water skills. To fight on water, we must be more than three times their size. Only with a large number can we gain an advantage. In addition, if we attack Liu Haiguo, Goryeo will be behind us, and they are very likely to do something wrong."

"Hmph, with absolute strength, everything is just a cloud! You first order the subordinates to prepare, even if there is a war, it will be next year!" Zhao Yan said.

According to Lu Nianwei's expected date of delivery, she should give birth in about ten days.

At this time, it is naturally impossible for Zhao Yan to start a war.

But now, after he knew the real culprit that caused the flood in Caizhou, he felt happier than before.
