Mountains and rivers pray for peace

The streets are bustling with people and people are looking forward to it.

The young man's eyes were deep and quiet, like cold springs, and his tone of voice was obviously not serious, but Huo Qi's face suddenly felt hot as if it was being roasted by fire.

Wang Xiaosi's warm voice sounded again, drawing their attention back, "Sir, madam, the carrot cake is ready!" He quickly wrapped the carrot cake in oil paper, and specially left a small part. Served on lotus leaves, it is convenient for guests to take and eat at any time.

Although Huo Qi had always been calm, he was also troubled by Wang Xiaosi's "Madam" one after another. He was about to explain when he heard Shen Yuning say: "Thank you, there is no need to look for the remaining silver."

"Thank you, sir!" Wang Xiaosi narrowed his eyes and took back the few coins in his hand, "I will bring my wife here more often in the future!"

Huo Qi couldn't help but tapped his forehead with his hand, pretended not to hear Wang Xiaosi's words, and walked forward quickly.After a while, a green lotus leaf bag was handed over, "Try it and see if it suits your appetite."

Everything was handed to him, and it was better to obey orders than to be respectful. Huo Qi took it, said "Thank you", then twisted a piece and tasted it.Anyway, she grabbed it and ate it casually. She didn't care about the usual etiquette of eating in small bites, and finished the whole thing in two or three bites.

After tasting it, her face relaxed: "This Wang Xiaosi is really not bragging. The radish cake is crispy on the outside and waxy on the inside. Even the sweetness of the radish is kept just right. It's better than Wanghailou's." Three points.”

Because of eating carrot cake, a hole was opened in the power fence. Shen Yuning lowered his head and could see her contented face, the smile in her phoenix eyes, full of childlike innocence.After knowing each other for a long time, she is like a snow lotus, slowly hanging down its branches, revealing its fragrant side.

Huo Qi was slightly embarrassed by his eyes. He raised the carrot cake in his hand and asked tentatively: "Your Highness, would you like it?"

"I won't eat these." Shen Yuning calmly looked away, not looking at the carrot cake for a second longer.

Huo Qi took another piece, took a bite, and glanced sideways at him: "Is it possible that you don't like it?"

Fried carrot cakes and other market foods were considered vulgar by many wealthy and wealthy young men in the capital, otherwise Yuan Shao would not have ordered them to be thrown away at that time.A prince like Shen Yuning who grew up in fine clothes and fine food would probably look down upon him.

Thinking of this, Huo Qi took two more bites of the carrot cake.

Then I heard his slightly cold voice, "No. Whenever I eat carrots, I will get measles all over my body."

Huo Qi was really surprised now.Previously, Luo Rou jokingly called Shen Yuning the Great Luo Jinxian, which she found funny and appropriate.Shen Yuning is indeed invulnerable. After all, he can hunt down a behemoth like a black lion even if he is alone.But now, such a seemingly omnipotent person is actually defeated by a little carrot cake?Both of these were unheard of.

She chuckled: "No way?"

"Is this funny?" Shen Yuning glanced at him.

Huo Qi looked serious for a second, shook his head, and finally couldn't help but curled his lips.

The two of them continued walking towards the house they had just come out from, when they suddenly heard a noise coming from the front.Because there was a lot of commotion here, many people on the street stopped and formed a circle.

Huo Qi looked forward and saw a disheveled young man being kicked to the ground, looking miserable.The person who kicked him was a strong man with a mustache and a ferocious scar on his face.There was also a group of boys following behind, all of them holding sticks, and they all looked like they were not very good-natured people.

Looking up, there are four big characters written on the plaque of the shop behind the strong man - Baotai Gambling House.

The strong man at the head looked down at the young man on the ground, as if looking at an ant that could be crushed to death with one kick: "You are a poor man, I think you are a scholar after all, so I kindly let you play a few games. I didn't expect you to lose money. You actually fooled people with fake money! How shameless!"

The young man wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, stood up, spoke angrily and hurriedly, and hurriedly took out a piece of silver from his sleeve: "The money I gave you is real. It is obviously a deliberate frame-up by you! If it is fake, I will Wang Shouli will not die easily if he is struck by lightning!"

The strong man smiled generously, pointed at the silver in Wang Shouli's hand and said, "Everyone has seen it, he took out the silver himself. I won't touch the silver, lest anyone say that I, Feng Da, have tampered with it. I Look, you might as well bring some knowledgeable person here to see if this money is real or fake. If I, Feng Da, have wronged someone, I will kneel down in the street and kowtow to Wang Shouli three times. If it is fake, I can also take care of our treasure. Follow the rules of Tai Gambling House!"

Unlike silver notes, it is actually not difficult to tell whether it is genuine or fake.Even an ordinary person can figure out some tricks.The difficulty is that Baotai Gambling House is very deep. If the money in Wang Shouli's hand is real, it means he slapped Feng Da in the face in public. Who knows whether such scoundrels will secretly retaliate in the future?If the money was fake, with Feng Da's fierce attitude, he would not give up until Wang Shouli was beaten half to death.If someone's life happens and the government is alerted, why don't you cause trouble?

Therefore, even if everyone was curious, no one dared to follow Feng Da's words and step forward to interfere with the matter.

When the situation was tense, an old man with a long beard walked out slowly from the crowd, waving a cattail leaf fan, looking quite charming.He stroked two thin beards and said with a smile: "I once worked as a handyman in a bank. I can still tell the authenticity of ordinary silver coins. Why don't you let me take a look?"

When everyone saw it, they all gasped.

Baotai Casino was crowded with people, and Wang Shouli had just arrived. He was alone and could not find anyone who made the decision in the capital city.Seeing someone speaking uprightly, he hurriedly wiped his face and put the ingot of silver into the old man's hand as if grasping a life-saving straw, "I beg you, sir, to make the decision and restore my innocence!"

The old man took it and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, don't worry, I won't tell any lies."

Feng Da, who was above, saw him and smiled brightly, but his words were not very polite: "Old man, you have to look carefully, this is related to the credibility of Baotai Gambling House."

The old man smiled, as if he didn't pay attention to Feng Da at all. He weighed the silver and carefully observed the texture of the silver. After looking at it for a long time, he met Wang Shouli's expectant eyes and shook his head unbearably: "This silver, It’s indeed fake.”

When Feng Da heard this, he sneered at Wang Shouli proudly: "You kid won't cry until you see the coffin. It's time to accept your fate now!"

Wang Shouli shook his head anxiously: "Impossible, I only have these ten taels of silver left in my body, how can it be fake! Old man, are you wrong?"

The old man said: "I have never seen anything wrong. If you don't believe it, you can ask two more people to check it." After that, he casually handed the money to a young boy behind him.

The young boy was stunned and wished he could throw away this hot potato immediately.But then he thought, since the old man was the leader, he had nothing to worry about, so he took a bite of the silver. With this bite, the white silver showed the color of copper.

He wondered: "Hey! It's true or false."

When the people nearby heard this, they stepped forward to check it out and started talking about it.

"It's really a fake thing!"

"This man looks like a Confucian scholar, but he turned out to be a liar!"

"You can't judge people by their appearance!"

"If you dare to act wild on the territory of Baotai Gambling House, you really risk your life!"

Discussions were pouring in. If Feng Da and Wang Shouli were still fighting fifty points each before, now the direction of the wind is almost all in Feng Da's favor.

Wang Shouli's face was as white as paper and he could only mutter: "I didn't lie to anyone, I didn't lie to anyone..."

Feng Da sneered and raised his arms: "Come here! Take this liar to the government!"

"Wait a minute."

A calm and restrained female voice stopped everyone's movements.
