"Now, the owner of the gambling house has occupied my wife and made her a slave. If I can't get the fifty Liang silver, I can't save her... If it's not so, I won't be blinded by lard for a while and make such a mistake..."

Zhao Zhi is crying and repenting.

After listening to his story, the old man held his granddaughter and gave a long sigh.

After all, he is simple. Even if he has just encountered such things as revenge, the old man forgives Zhao Zhi in his heart. After all, he has difficulties.

"I didn't expect you to have such an experience... If you had said it earlier, old man, I could still help you, but no matter what, you shouldn't do this, you shouldn't hurt my girl..."

The old man sighed.

"I'm wrong, I'm really wrong, I regret it... Please forgive me, sir, I'm really wrong, I regret it..."

Zhao Zhi cried and repeated his apology.

However, Chu Yun on one side always looked calm and was not affected by any emotion.

"You are not really aware of your mistakes. You are just forced by the situation and using your experience to win sympathy."

Chu Yun shook his head.

Zhao Zhi's body was shocked. He raised his head and his eyes were hazy, but he didn't speak. He just stared at Chu Yun with such an expression.

The old man hesitated and seemed to feel that Chu Yun should not face such a poor man with such a cold attitude.

"I believe your story is true."

Chu Yun looked at Zhao Zhi and said faintly, "however, in this story, you are not innocent. You will fall into the quagmire of gambling. Of course, it is because of external temptation, but when you lose all your possessions and sign the contract to sell your wife, you will no longer be alone.

At this moment, you are just a devil. For your wife, you are a more terrible person than the devil.

When you lost and became a poor man, you could have walked away, but you still accepted the curse of gambling and gambled on things you shouldn't touch. At that time, lard blinded your heart for a moment. It won't only appear at that time. It will always haunt you, because there are some bottom lines that can't be broken. If you break it for the first time, there will be countless times after it. "

"... no!"

Zhao Zhi was angry. He pulled his neck and shouted at Chu Yun, "you don't know me at all. Why do you say that! At that time, I was just impulsive. If I were allowed to choose again now, I would never press that handprint. I already knew I was wrong. How could I make it again?! "

"No, you'll do it again."

Chu Yun shook his head indifferently.

"You fart!"

Zhao Zhi was completely angered. Even if he knew that he was not Chu Yun's opponent, he broke out.

Recalling his previous life with his wife and the quiet warmth with a trace of sweetness, he was so excited that he pointed to Chu Yun and said loudly, "a scholar can be killed, not humiliated! I did make a big mistake, but I regret it now. If people are not sages, they can make mistakes. Can't you give me a chance to change? If you have to think that I will fan, you can just kill me! "

After that, Zhao zhiang raised his head and exposed his neck to Chu Yun. He looked like he was waiting to be killed. In his thin and weak body, intense emotions broke out.

"Childe..."

The old man looked around, but he couldn't bear it. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something.

"No, you'll do it again."

Chu Yun was not moved at all. He repeated his previous judgment again in a firm tone. After a pause, he said, "take what happened just now. What are you going to do? What would you do without me? "

“……”

Zhao Zhi's mood is one of Dayton. He is a little difficult to answer this question.

Chu Yun said, "although the old man's savings are not small, they are only about ten Liang silver. The price of the contract you signed to sell your wife is fifty Liang silver. If you want to redeem it, the number will only be more than this, maybe one hundred Liang or two hundred Liang.

But even if there were only fifty Liang, what would you do? What can you do? Where can you get the fifty Liang silver? Ask friends for help?

You have lost all your possessions and your wife. I believe you have no friends. If someone is willing to help you, you won't end up like this.

Then, you are the only one left. If you want to save your wife, how are you going to make money? Without this kind-hearted old man, who else can you take money from with that knife? Well, for you, there's only one way to make money, right?

The way is to take ten liang of silver robbed from the old man, go to the gambling shop and gamble again... Am I right? "

“……”

Zhao Zhi's lips were wriggling and his body was trembling. He lowered his head and couldn't say a word for a long time.

The self-esteem in his heart, the generosity in his heart, the sages' books in his heart, and the great truth that would rather die than surrender were shattered by the cold reality at this moment.

He recalled that when he saw the ten Liang silver, the first thought in his mind was that he had the capital and could gamble again.

Ten liang of silver. If you don't play well, you can play on the card table for two hours. If you are lucky enough, you can double the cost after a few rounds. Then you can go to the second floor to play some big ones. If you are lucky enough

If you're lucky

Suddenly, he fell into a state of numbness, as if he recognized something.

Chu Yun looked at him piteously and said, "I believe your story is true. I believe your regret is true. In fact, after experiencing such things, if you don't regret, there is a real problem. However, as I just said, some things can't be done, and some bottom lines can't be crossed.

Let alone win or lose on the card table, is it luck? Even if it is, how can you guarantee that you can always win? What happens if you lose?

Ten thousand steps back, even if you take these ten Liang silver today and win your wife back, what will happen in the future? Will you never gamble again?

You can't?

Maybe in the first day or two, you will have a firm attitude, but people will always change. Life is very long. You will always encounter times when you need money. At this time, you will recall that you once won fifty Liang, or even one hundred or two hundred Liang with ten Liang silver. You will think you can win.

And at that time, what if you lose again? You have sold your wife once. She has become a commodity in your eyes. Will you let her go when you want to gamble in the future? It can sell fifty liang of silver. It's enough for you to turn the price five times. Do you think you can resist the temptation?

I don't believe it. "

Chu Yun finished, paused for a long time, looked at the dull Zhao Zhi and said, "I know you've had a miserable life, but these experiences have made you no longer a person. In order to raise the capital to gamble again, you can show a knife to a kind old man who has helped you. There's nothing to break the bottom line. You can't do in the future, but, No matter how tragic things happen to you, this must not be a reason for you to hurt others. "

Voice falling——

Zhao Zhi's chest fluctuated violently, and he looked more and more excited. Finally, he closed his eyes.

"... kill me."

Zhao Zhi sat on the ground dejectedly and laughed at himself. The tears in the corners of his eyes fell slowly. The whole person was like a piece of wood. He fell powerlessly on the ox cart and said, "if I live like this, I have no reason to go on."

"Alas..."

Seeing this scene, the old man couldn't help but give a long sigh, covered the little girl's eyes and turned around.

"I won't kill you."

Chu Yun shook his head and said, "but I won't let you go like this. According to the law of the Tianji Dynasty, you will be locked up for more than ten years. When you enter the city later, I will send you to the government. As for your wife and the gambling house, I will solve these problems."

“……”

Zhao Zhi's cheek twitched for a moment, and his eyes showed incredible light. He trembled and looked up at Chu Yun: "you, are you willing to save my wife?"

"Yes."

Chu Yun nodded calmly.

What he has to do is more than that. What the gambling house does is extremely dirty. Like the bastard friend who seduced Zhao Zhi into the mire, he is actually some water ghosts raised by the casino.

Their job is only one thing, that is, to lure those living on clean land into the dark mud and drain every value.

Chu Yun will never let go of such a shameful thing since he knows it.

Just

Chu Yun himself didn't expect that the first thing he came into contact with when he came to Daming mansion from Zhenyao mansion thousands of miles away was that it was so dark and dirty.

This made him feel a different irony about the three words "Daming mansion".

Qin Wuji said that the crows in the world are generally black.

Now it seems that the crow does fly everywhere, including Linghai giant city and Jinxia city of Daming Prefecture.

……

Not long ago, the old man drove an ox cart to the outside of a prosperous huge city.

Following the official road, the ox cart drove into the city from the north gate.

After entering the city, the old man took the three people in the car and came to the yamen gate in the north city. As a simple farmer, he was very nervous when he came to the Yamen for the first time.

"Relax."

Chu Yun patted the old man on the shoulder and said, "you are a kind old man. You should know that at this time, the best antidote for him is to isolate the lost young man from the world in prison and reflect on himself for a period of time. This is doing the right thing."

The old man sighed, nodded, walked up to the yamen gate and said to a yamen servant at the gate, "officer, I want to report to the official..."

A long time later, at about noon, Chu Yun and the old man walked out of the Yamen together.

This is a very simple case.

The old man picked up a young man on the road and rescued him, but he was avenged by the young man, threatened to rob him, and then got the help of a passer-by.

In the whole process, there are both human and material evidence, and the logic is clear. Even the perpetrator Zhao Zhi himself personally admitted all the events, so the judgment is also very simple.

Zhao Zhi needs to stay in this prison for twelve years.

After hearing the judge's decision, Zhao Zhi took a deep breath and closed his eyes. He seemed to feel the relief of atonement. Just before being taken away by the yamen, he turned his head and looked at Chu Yun with expectant and burning eyes. The latter nodded slightly.

When leaving the yamen gate, Chu Yun waved goodbye to the old man. The old man thanked Chu Yun again for saving his life, and then continued to sell vegetables with his granddaughter. He didn't notice that Chu Yun put more than a dozen pieces of silver in his cloth pocket.

In this world where crows are black, kindness is a very rare quality. Chu Yun feels that people with this quality should be treated better.

So

Chu Yun slowly breathed out a breath and looked at the direction of Xicheng.

Zhao Zhi's former home is in the direction of Xicheng. The gambling house called Ruyi gambling house is also in Xicheng.

Chu Yun went to the west city and observed the local conditions and customs of Jinxia city.

This is a big city.

It is bigger and more prosperous than Linghai giant city. They are not at the same level at all.

The Tianji Dynasty divided regions by the government. There were a number of domains in the government, such as the giant city of Linghai, which was just the main city of Linghai, but this Jinxia city was different.

There is no Jinxia region here. Jinxia city is not only the capital of Daming mansion, but also the core area of the whole Daming mansion.

And

There is something unusual about Jinxia city.

That is, more than 600 years ago, Jinxia city was once the king capital of the whole Tianji Dynasty and the former imperial city.

Although the royal family later moved the kings elsewhere for some reasons, this Jinxia city is different after all and has more advantages than other Fu cities.

There is only one reason why Chu Yun came to Jinxia City, Daming Prefecture. That is, there is a relic to be opened here.

As like as two peas, Chu Yun used a bait to catch a map of the ruins. It had all the information and information in the ruins. It can be said that with this map, Chu Yun went to explore the ruins again, which is exactly the same as his own home yard. He can seize from my hands all the things in the ruins.

Therefore, after deciding to leave the Linghai sea area, Chu Yun came to the Jinxia city of Daming Prefecture for the first time. After more than ten days of traveling, he finally arrived in the Jinxia city on the fourth day before the ruins were opened.

In other words, Chu Yun now has four days to play in Jinxia City, and his first stop is

Ruyi gambling house in Xicheng.
