Mountains and rivers pray for peace

Everyone followed the sound and saw a woman walking towards her. Judging from her body shape and dress, she must be no more than twenty years old. Although her appearance could not be seen, she had a romantic air as she walked.The tightly packed crowd was shocked by the aura around her, and they automatically gave way to a path like a bracelet being unlocked.

Feng Da has worked in Baotai Gambling House for more than ten years and has dealt with people from all walks of life. Seeing Huo Qi's figure, he intuitively felt that there was a good face hidden under the power fence.

His displeasure at being interrupted was a little subdued, and he bowed like the young men who came to the gambling house: "What do you think, little lady?"

But in the end, it is better to paint a tiger than to turn against a dog.

"I've seen what happened just now. Isn't it inappropriate to simply conclude that Wang Shouli defrauded people of credit?" Huo Qi's words were addressed to Feng Da, but his eyes fell on Wang Shouli.

Wang Shouli was a staff member of the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion in his previous life.

This man had some talent in reading. He passed the provincial examination at the age of 17 and was known as a "child prodigy" in Lu County. Unfortunately, he failed the examination twice. Because he was born in a poor family, he was weak and did not deal with things smoothly. He had never entered an official position, so he could only secretly defect to Yuan Xianzhi.Yuan Xianzhi was willing to use him because he was somewhat talented, honest and obedient, and had no foundation, making him easy to control.

At that time, Wang Shouli was not as young and energetic as he is now.Years of dissatisfaction had long since turned this handsome young man in front of him into a mediocre and indifferent strategist.

There were many aides and followers in the Marquis of Zhenyuan's mansion, and the reason why she had some impression of him was because Huo Xian died that year. On the first seven days of his life, Wang Shouli once said to her - Concubine, you and I are both people who have been teased by fate.In terms of status, you are precious and my life is worthless, but we are all equally pitiful.

Wang Shouli's words came out of nowhere, and he was even suspected of being guilty.At that time, she was obsessed with the grief of her eldest brother's death. She was even more angry at Yuan Shao's seeming indifference after Huo Xian's death, so she retorted: "No matter how pitiful I am, I am much better off than you being a lackey."

Now that I think about it, what Wang Shouli said back then was actually correct, but what was wrong was her conceit back then.

Wang Shouli also noticed that Huo Qi seemed to be looking at him. Even though he was separated by a white gauze, his panicked mood became much calmer.At the same time, he secretly despised himself. He could not lose even if he lost. The girl in front of him could still be so calm, but he panicked for a moment.

Feng Dayi didn't pay attention to the appearance of this girl at first, but it was obvious that she had come to stand up for Wang Shouli regardless of life and death, and his face immediately changed with hatred.

He walked up to Huo Qi in two or two steps, and his frivolous eyes roamed her body for a long time. When he saw that she was dressed simply and plainly, and she didn't wear any jade pendants, he pointed at her nose and said, "Little girl, there is something beautiful here." It's not your turn to speak! Do you know where this place is? And who am I, Feng Da?"

Huo Qi gently moved Feng Da's fingers away, with no fear in his eyes: "No matter where this place is or who you are, you must pay attention to the word 'reason'."

"The truth? Well, everyone on the street saw it. It was the fake money that Wang Shouli took out himself." Feng Da pointed to a circle of onlookers, "He lost the money and still wanted to get it on credit. What's the reason for this? "

The theatergoers around watched Feng Da and Huo Qi fight in the ring. They didn't say anything after being pointed out. They just laughed a few times in cooperation with Feng Da.The old man who checked the silver before had his eyes fixed on Huo Qi like a nail, which was very meaningful.

Huo Qi said: "I just want to ask, how can you confirm that the ingot of silver that Wang Shouli took out is the ingot that was just handed to you in the gambling house?"

Feng Da looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, "Little lady, I, Feng Da, confiscated the fake silver in the gambling house just now. When I saw it was fake, I threw it back. With so many pairs of eyes, it was obvious that it was fake. Wang Shouli took out the money himself." He glanced at Wang Shouli again and asked, "Is it possible that you have other real money with you, and did you deliberately frame yourself for this whole incident?"

Wang Shouli muttered: "No...no."

The more he talked, the more something felt wrong.He went to Beijing to take the exam, but failed for a while, and has never returned to his hometown. Now all he has is the twelve taels of silver raised by the whole village. Where can he get the extra money?Besides, no matter how stupid he is, he can't take out fake money and teach others to do it in front of everyone.

Huo Qi was not refuted, but curled his lips: "This is strange. If Wang Shouli deliberately defrauded people of credit, the only physical evidence that could prove the matter was the fake silver he handed over. But since you had already seen it from the beginning The money was fake. If you didn’t keep the physical evidence immediately and went to the bank to ask someone to check it, why did you return it to Wang Shouli, let Wang Shouli take it out himself, and finally pull a random person from the street to verify the authenticity of the money?”

This question stopped Feng Da in his tracks, and even the people around him looked at him differently.

Feng Da secretly thought that it was not good, and a few drops of hot sweat broke out on his forehead, but he still pretended to be calm and said: "I am doing this for the sake of justice! Lest others say that our Baotai Gambling House only relies on one-sided words and is going too far!"

"No." Huo Qi smiled sarcastically, "The fact is that the old man who checked the money just now colluded with you to steal the money. Whether it was in the gambling house or just now, the money Wang Shouli took out was real. It was just there. Once the old man puts it in his hands, it becomes fake."

When Wang Shouli heard this, he suddenly realized, and then felt frightened.

When he entered the gambling house today, he was brought in by being coaxed and deceived.Although he regretted losing the bet, he still took out the money.Unexpectedly, as soon as Feng Da received the money, he threw the money on him, angrily cursed the money as fake, and then kicked him out of the door without any explanation.Thinking about it carefully, I'm afraid that what happened today was all a game specially made for him by Baotai Gambling House.

Are they... for that matter?

Feng Daze was shocked and angry: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

When the old man who was hidden in the crowd was identified, he was not as excited as Feng Da. He only said with regret: "Girl, I have no enmity with you, and I have no connection with Baotai Gambling House. Why do you slander us with such empty words?" I?"

"The real money is on you. If I'm lying, won't you know if you search me?" Huo Qi's voice turned cold.

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing who to believe, and no one dared to move.

Feng Daqi stepped forward and said slyly in front of Huo Qi: "Girl, those who know the current affairs are heroes." After saying that, he glanced at the thugs following behind him.

Huo Qi seemed calm and relaxed. Instead of getting off the donkey, she said angrily: "Why, don't you dare to search?"

When Feng Da saw that she was out of luck, he immediately changed his words and tried to reverse the situation: "Girl, you suddenly appeared to stand up for Wang Shouli and you didn't dare to show your true colors. Could it be that she is his concubine?"

Feng Da's words were vicious and obscene, but very effective, blurring the focus of the situation at once.After all, sexy and romantic topics are always more interesting to viewers than the so-called truth.At this time, the onlookers' eyes became ambiguous.

Huo Qi felt disgusted in his heart, but Feng Da ignored her and reached out to lift the barrier over her head.Just as Huo Qi was about to turn sideways to avoid it, a flash of silver light flashed by. Feng Da exclaimed and immediately nailed a willow leaf dart into the hand that was about to touch Mi Li.The dart penetrated the entire right palm, and for a moment, blood flowed profusely.

Feng Da was shocked and angry. Just as he was about to find someone to settle the score, he saw a very tall young man walking out from behind Huo Qi and sneered: "Her face is something that not everyone can see."
