Chapter 230 The Last Bet

Chapter 230 Eighth Last Bet

After the eunuch who was in charge of ceremonies said this, he didn't say much more: "Master Zhai, let's go to the Bei Yamen to announce the decree and settle the matter earlier."

Zhai Luan cupped his hands and led a group of people into Beizhen Fusi.

Just now, Ting Lan was very proud of being overwhelmed by the Huichang Hou Sun's family, and took a few steps forward, scolding the maids and boys under her command: "Are you all blind? Mrs. Wan, be careful about my Sun family's family law. Come here, everyone, everyone's surname is Sun, and no one is lower than anyone else."

The group of servants under Sun Dan woke up after being scolded by Ting Lan. They all yelled and rushed forward hugging Niang Zhi.

The members of Housun's family in Huichang had taken the anger of the eunuch and Zhai Luan just now, and they were already inferior to Ting Lan in terms of arrogance. Seeing them pushing over, they all took a step back subconsciously, making room for Zhi Niang and the others.

Zhiniang still felt embarrassed, she hurriedly saluted Mrs. Hong and Mrs. Liu, and said softly, "I'm sorry to disturb the two ladies."

Mrs. Hong was always kind-hearted, and she also had contact with Niang Zhi on weekdays, so she sighed and didn't speak.

And Mrs. Liu snorted, looked up at the sky, and ignored Zhiniang.

When Ting Lan saw the situation in front of her, she felt angry and said to Zhi Niang in a loud voice on purpose: "Ma'am, you are soft-hearted and have a good temper. But in this world, the softer you are, the more others will bully you." Come on. Not to mention that you can't write two grandson characters with one stroke, Huichang Hou Mansion is also our home. But now that big tree that can shelter from wind and rain is about to fall down, it is not worth relying on. Besides, this A big tree has never covered our heads."

Ting Lan said it presumptuously, and everyone in Huichang Housun's family stared at her with anger on their faces.

Ting Lan also went all out, and stared back unconvinced, pointing at a little girl from the Sun's mansion who was close to her and scolding: "What are you looking at, did I say something wrong? You heard what the father-in-law said just now, My master Sun Dan will come out soon. With his ability and being the emperor's favorite person, he will definitely be reused in the future, and my wife will also get an imperial order. As for how master Sun Henian will deal with it, who knows what is going on You and I were acquainted before, there is really nowhere to go, you can come to us."

When the girl heard this, she was ashamed and angry, and tears fell down.

Zhi Niang couldn't bear to look at it, and finally couldn't help but shouted: "Ting Lan, you are too presumptuous, please shut up."

Ting Lan is naturally not afraid of Zhiniang, but on the surface she still wants to give her mistress a little face.He only cocked his mouth, looked at that girl and couldn't help sneering: Cry, when you still have to cry in the future, when Lang Lang wins Juren and becomes a high-ranking official, I will make everyone who looked down on me before bow their heads to me.

Mrs. Liu disdain to be angry with a maid like Ting Lan, she gave Mrs. Hong a sad look, and said in a low voice: "Look at the situation, the second master is about to fail, and my Sun House will also be in big trouble."

Madam Hong was startled, and said sadly, "I wonder if Songnian can do anything?"

The tears in Madam Liu's eyes were still falling, but she suppressed the grief in her heart, shook her head, and said, "I'm afraid it won't work, the second master has been in for half a month, if the elder master has a way, he would have already There is news. I just got bad news. I was afraid that you would be worried, so I didn't tell you. Now, my Sun Manor has reached the moment of life and death. I have nothing to hide. I will tell you sooner or later. "

Mrs. Hong had an ominous premonition, and her voice trembled: "Song Nian... What happened to Song Nian? Isn't he on business in Hejian?"

Mrs. Liu: "I heard that the imperial court has sent Tiqi over there to arrest the Grand Master, saying that he bribed the officials when he was transferred to the Ministry of Rites."

Mrs. Hong almost fainted, and she lost her voice: "No, no!"

Mrs. Liu: "The building is about to collapse, and my Sun family is about to end. But...now is not the time for you and me to be sad, so we need to make preparations earlier?"

"Sister, you have always been scheming, sister, my heart is in a mess now, everything is up to you to decide."

Mrs. Liu nodded: "Okay, if you listen to me, immediately take a few caring servant girls back to the mansion, wrap all the valuables and money notes in the mansion, and hide them close to your body, and I can give you and my sister some leftovers." Food money?"

Mrs. Hong was a little puzzled: "Why do you want to do this?" There are not too many bills and soft goods in the mansion, but if you add them together, there are about twenty or thirty thousand taels.

Mrs. Liu's face was pale: "Sister, you don't understand, our home is about to be raided."

……

When Zhai Luan entered the imperial prison, he saw Sun Danzheng and Huang Jin playing chess on the stone table in the garden, while Sun Henian, Qiao Yu, and Bi Yun were watching the battle around.

Huang Jin guessed that he lost hard, and the palace clothes on his body were torn off, revealing his pale and slender neck, panting heavily: "Come again, come again, our family doesn't believe that we can't win against you!"

Sun Dan deliberately provocatively pointed at Huang Jin: "I said, Lao Huang, if you continue to play, you will not be my opponent. I really don't know how you got the reputation of being an invincible player in the six palaces. You are a bad chess basket."

Qiao Yu also disliked Huang Jin, a eunuch: "There's nothing to do. He's a two-level chess player. Even if he plays for another 100 years, it's still a loss."

Huang Jin said angrily: "Impossible, impossible, how could I lose, come again, come again."

Sun Henian also nodded again and again, and said softly: "Eunuch Huang, your chess strength is too far behind Sun Dan, so let's give up. This gap does not only refer to the calculation ability, but also the gap in realm."

Huang Jin squinted at him: "What kind of status do you deserve to talk about my chess moves? Don't forget, you are a guilty minister. Realm? After entering the Beiya, have you set up a realm for our family?"

Sun Henian has spent a long time in Beiyaguan, and his heart has calmed down.He thought about it, everyone here, Sun Dan and Huang Jin are the emperor's confidantes, Qiao Yu was implicated in this case, but he himself is innocent.

As for Bi Yun, Sun Dan simply called to help, not the person involved.

After all the calculations, it was Sun Henian who was unlucky in the end.

Sun Henian no longer had any hope for his future destiny, so he calmed down and studied physiology all his life without any fear.These days in the Beiya, he lived a carefree life.

Therefore, he didn't take Huang Jin's domineering to heart, and couldn't see any expression on his face.

Zhai Luan was amused in his heart, these bodhisattvas were in the Beiya, and they lived comfortably and had fun.

He coughed and walked over with everyone.

He said in a loud voice: "There is a decree, please accept it, my lords."

Huang Jin stared with strange eyes: "I will talk about the will later, I will play with Sun Dan first. Anyway, we are all locked here, and we can't escape."

Di Luan was very helpless, and spread his hands: "Then let's announce the decree later, hurry up, don't you guys still want to stay here?"

Sun Dan said with a smile: "Eunuch Huang is here now, and he doesn't think about Shu." After laughing, he said to Huang Jin: "Old Huang, you are going out soon. After you go out, you will be the eunuch who is in charge of ceremonies and Bingbi." I, Sun Danqiong, are a talented scholar, and our status and status are very different. If we want to play chess together, we will have no chance. It is agreed, the last game, one game will win or lose, and you will not pester me again in the future. "

Huang Jin, "Okay, let's make a decision, let's play bigger. 1 taels per game."

Hearing how big they were playing, everyone gasped.

Sun Dan sneered: "Can you beat me?"

Huang Jin didn't answer, but stared at Sun Dan with fierce eyes: "Don't say these are useless, just answer whether you dare or not?" After that, the output went to tens of thousands of taels.And he is the most narrow-minded person in the world, no matter what he wants to get back this face.

Sun Dan took out a stack of money tickets from his pocket and threw them on the table: "I'm afraid you won't succeed, you are not good at chess, don't say I bully you. In this way, I will let you have three eyes in this round. But, Lao Huang, Do you have any money on you? There is a saying in our country: You get as high as you want. If you want to bet with me, you have to take out the bet. "

Huang Jin was generalized by Sun Dan. In a rage, he reached out to touch his bosom, but he didn't take it out for a long time.

It turned out that Sun Dan had already won all the money tickets on him these days.Not only that, but he even borrowed a lot from the brocade guards of Beizhen Fusi.

Now, when the people in the Beiya saw Huang Jin, they would feel guilty when they saw Huang Jin.People are insiders, and they lend you face or give you face.

Sun Dan knew that Huang Jin was out of money, so he chuckled: "Old Huang, I won't bet with you if I don't have money."

Huang Jin's face was livid with anger, and he turned to ask the guard who was guarding him: "Where is Lu Song, tell him to bring over 1 taels."

The guard smiled wryly: "Commander Lu is out on business, not in the yamen."

"Damn it, why did you just leave? Old Lu is clearly hiding from our house. Tell Xiao Luzi to come over."

Guard: "Lu Bing is not in the yamen either."

"It's so hateful." Huang Jin was about to get angry when he suddenly noticed several eunuchs beside Zhai Luan pointing at them: "You, you, whoever, take out all the money notes on your body. Borrow and use them first. I'll pay you back when I go out."

The eunuchs hurriedly took out all the banknotes from their pockets, one thousand for you, and five hundred for me, piled up in front of Huang Jin.

After careful calculation, there are more than 8000 taels.

Zhai Luan looked at it in a daze for a while: These people... are really... too rich!The officials of the Ming Dynasty, the poor died of the poor, and the rich died of the rich...it's so unfair.It seems that this person cannot be without power, as long as he has power, he can have everything.

He laughed and said, "My lords, hurry up, I'm still waiting to go to His Majesty to pay the edict!"

Sun Dan laughed: "Lord Zhai, don't worry, I'll play fast chess with Eunuch Huang. Besides, with my method, I can kill Eunuch Huang without leaving a single piece of him in just a pot of tea."

After speaking, he took out a pocket hourglass from his body and put it on the table.

"Who will kill who is still uncertain?" Huang Jin was not convinced, and said harshly.Then, he stopped guessing and grabbed a white chess piece and slammed it on the board.

A new round has begun.

The courtyard that was still in a mess just now became quiet.Sun Henian, Qiao Yu and others, together with the guards from Beizhen Fusi, as well as Zhai Luan and the group he brought, all surrounded them.

Most of this group of people have read books, and some even have very profound knowledge, and many people have studied Go.Although Huang Jin's chess skills are not as good as Sun Dan's, he is not a weak player, and his chess style is fierce and very entertaining.As for Sun Dan, every chess move he made was weird and unpredictable, and every chess piece he dropped was something he had never heard of or seen before.It seems that it is just a pawn, and it is of no use.But after more than a dozen moves, those seemingly useless chess pieces came alive.

Seeing this novel way of dismounting, everyone held their breath and almost cheered.

The bright autumn sun shone on everyone's heads without any shade or hindrance, and the courtyard became hot.The light was blindingly bright.

Zhai Luan was born as a scholar, he is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and has also studied Go.With just one glance, his mind sank deeply into it.

Suddenly his eyes blurred, and something indescribable surged up in his chest. All the books he had read before and the principles of life and work he knew were all overturned by this chess game.The so-called gentleness, the so-called moral articles all turned into a game of drinking in front of the chessboard.

And this chessboard also turned into a prehistoric world. Sun Dan and Huang Jin each commanded the soldiers in their hands to move forward continuously, fighting back and forth in valleys, rivers, roads and other places that must be contested.

Huang Jin was so hot that he was sweating profusely, and the palace clothes on his body seemed to have just been fished out of the water.

On the other hand, Sun Dan was sitting upright at the table, with a calm expression on his face, as if he was taking a nap in the sunshine of an autumn afternoon.

His eyes were calm and far away, as if he saw a very far place, but he seemed to see nothing.

Everything is under control.

Seeing this kind of gaze, Zhai Luan's heart suddenly trembled, he was too familiar with this kind of gaze.Many years ago, he saw it in Li Dongyang and Wang Shouren.

Could it be that Sun Dan has reached the state where he doesn't hold anything in his chest?

To a certain extent, the investigation of things and knowledge, the world and everything are naturally clear to the heart.

Has such a young man seen through the world?

However, after thinking about it, Zhai Luan was relieved again.Sun Dan was originally a great talent. If he didn't have that kind of extraordinary accomplishment, how could he be the late emperor's think tank, and how could he be able to handle housework for Emperor Wuzong?

"Crack!" A sunspot fell on the chessboard, and Sun Dan shouted, "Hit!"

Zhai Luan just woke up and looked intently, a big dragon belonging to Huang Jin had been slaughtered by Sun Dan's son.

"Hey!" Everyone sighed, feeling sorry for Huang Jin's loss.

"Sorry, I won." Sun Dan slowly put all the money tickets in front of Huang Jin into his arms.

A foul smell permeated from Huang Jin's body, and sharp-eyed people saw a little water stain slowly spreading from his crotch.

Huang Jin threw the chess piece in his hand on the ground in grief and anger, and roared: "What kind of chess are you playing? Huang Jin will not be raised if I play chess again in the future!"

At this time, the white sand in the hourglass just poured out.
