Chapter 58 Bargaining
Fearing that his precious son might make a mistake, Wei forced Xu Chunjun to go to the gambling house to redeem him.

Xu Chunjun had no choice but to come out, bought a veiled hat on the way and put it on.

Xu Daoqing went to Baoyuan Gambling House. Since he came to Beijing, he was like a mouse that swallowed kerosene.Every day until dark, never go home.

The money on his body was almost squandered, so he thought of going to the gambling house to try his luck.

He won the first few hands, but the more he won, the more he wanted to win more.

Afterwards, he lost two games in a row, even more unwilling to stop.

Xu Daoqing is young, but courageous, and he never needs to be in the right place.

Seeing the money he won was exported time and time again, he started to think wrongly.

But he didn't think about it, anyone in the capital who can afford a gambling shop can't see his tricks?
So he took a handful and was caught.

There have always been rules in the gambling house-gamble to win, gamble to lose, and not to gamble.

Depending on who you are, as long as you leave the game and go to the gambling table, you have to admit whether you win or lose.

But if it's cheating, it's a lowly act, not only shameful, but also has to be punished.

Xu Daoqing was held down, and several burly men watching the scene surrounded him and asked him for an explanation.

He denied it before, but he was slapped twice to be honest.

Then another skinny man came out and said that it would take 500 taels to settle the matter, otherwise he would have to chop his hands.

Xu Daoqing was frightened to death, and hurriedly sent his servant back home.

Xu Chunjun entered through the side door of the gambling house, and saw Xu Daoqing in a cramped small room.

"Why is it you?" Xu Daoqing didn't expect that it was Xu Chunjun who came, and he asked in a bad tone, "Did you bring money?"

"Who is in charge here?" Xu Chunjun didn't answer his words at all, but asked the big man guarding Xu Daoqing.

"Third Master, someone has come to redeem that kid." The big man shouted upstairs.

After a while, a thin middle-aged man came down.

"Who are you to this kid? 500 taels of silver can't be less than a penny." The man named San Ye looked at Xu Chunjun and said.

Few women come to the gambling house, even if they do come, they are mostly sturdy and fat women who speak foul words.

Although Xu Chunjun was wearing a veiled hat, his face could not be seen clearly, but his demeanor was gentle and dignified, and he definitely did not come from a peddler.

"He's my elder brother," Xu Chunjun said, "You ask for 500 taels too much, our family can't afford it."

"Stinky girl, what are you talking about?!" Xu Daoqing was in a hurry, "Dare to say that I'm not worth 500 taels of silver! You're tired of living!"

But he was held down by two big men immediately, and the place where he was beaten was still burning hot, reminding him that this is not a place for him to be arrogant.

Mother Lu wanted to speak, but Xu Chunjun turned his face away, and although he didn't speak, he was admonishing her.

On the way here, Xu Chunjun had already explained to Lu's mother that if she wanted her to take care of this matter and rescue Xu Daoqing safely, he had to listen to her.

"Little girl, this is not a place for you to bargain." The third master smiled and showed his yellow teeth. His whole face was like a walnut, and he hadn't tried it.

"Third Master, I am not bargaining with you. You must be able to see that we are not from the capital. We are newcomers and have not yet established a firm foothold. My brother broke the rules here, and we accept the punishment. But 500 taels is not a small amount. We really can't afford it."

"Little girl, you are not sincere when you talk like that." The third master laughed and said, "Isn't your brother's hand worth 500 taels?"

"It's not a question of whether it's worth it or not, it's that we simply can't afford so much money." Xu Chunjun said, "There's only 200 taels here, and there's nothing more."

"You want to redeem someone for 200 taels? There is no way!" The third master's face became gloomy, "Well, you keep the 200 taels first, and I will give you three days' grace before you go to find the money. Turn around We have gathered enough 500 taels, and we will release him immediately. Don’t worry, we won’t embarrass him for these three days. But if three days pass, we can’t guarantee it. Do you think it’s okay to chop off one of his fingers a day?”

"Third Master, I also open up with you. My brother is really a prodigal, and the whole family thinks he is a burden. Only my sister, who still thinks of brotherhood, came to save him." Xu Chunjun didn't like Like other women, when they heard those beatings and killings, they showed fear, "Otherwise, why did I come here alone? To be honest, the 200 taels is still my dowry money. If you ask for more, I don’t have the 200 taels. After all, I can’t get another 300 taels, so why let the 200 taels go to waste?”

"Xu Laowu! How dare you treat me like this!" Xu Daoqing was so angry that his eyes turned red.

This stinky girl didn't come to save her at all, but to drive him to death.

These people are all desperadoes, and they can't do anything in a hurry.Do you want his little life?

"Little girl, I advise you not to play tricks in front of me, an old Jianghu." The third master warned Xu Chunjun, "I have seen all the aggressive methods and bitter tricks."

"The third master was joking, don't say I don't have the guts, even if I did, I wouldn't use it in this matter." Xu Chunjun said with a chuckle, "Gambling shops are also business, and harmony makes money. Let's make concessions, you Can it be seen?"

"Little girl, you understand much better than your elder brother. But each step back is only a small step." The third master said, "400 taels of silver, you take everyone away."

"Third Master, you are an old Jianghu, but I am not from the Jianghu. I am just a weak woman who does not go out of the door and does not go out. The 200 taels of silver are really exhausted. I still say that, No one in the family is willing to save him except me." Xu Chunjun emphasized again.

"Little girl, you're making things difficult for others. Do you think we're doing business here? I'm going to ask for the price, and you just sit back and pay the money." The third master rolled his eyelids, and his eyes became fierce, "I'm going to talk to you right now." Pay the bottom, 350 taels of silver, nothing less. Otherwise, you will be deducted together!"

"Third Master, there is nothing wrong with doing business. If I use my 200 taels of silver as capital, and earn you 300 taels, 400 taels, or even more, will you let him go?" Xu Chunjun asked back.

"Little girl, I'm afraid you have found the wrong person in the house." The third master laughed, "It's really such a good thing, why don't you do it? Can it be my turn?"

"To make money, the right time, the right place, and the harmony of people are indispensable." Xu Chunjun responded indifferently, "If you want to make money, you need to rely on the name of your gambling house and hundreds of gamblers. I don’t have one, so I can’t make that money.”
