After Wang Xiao went out, he found a carriage and told the driver that he was going to buy briquettes.

The coachman had never heard of briquettes, so he took him to a charcoal fire shop.

When the shop owner heard that Wang Xiao wanted to buy briquettes, he felt a bit stinky and said he had never heard of Laoshizi briquettes.

Wang Xiao had no choice but to find the next shop.

This shop does indeed sell briquettes, but it is closed today.

Wang Xiao had no choice but to find another house, but the doors and windows were still closed.

He looked in through the crack in the door, but saw that it was empty, not a single particle of briquettes inside.

So he went around to the backyard, climbed up to the wall and looked in. He saw that although there were black traces of coal on the ground in the yard, all the cinders had been used up and it was empty.

Wang Xiao chuckled and said to himself: "You really ran away?"

At first, the reason why he said he wanted to partner with Tang Qianqian in the coal business was because he wanted to see what her plans were for the Wang family.

After meeting the real Luo Deyuan today, Wang Xiao thought he finally had an idea. He couldn't get any clues from Wang Zhu, so he wanted to test it with Tang Qianqian.

Unexpectedly, this idea was wrong, and she was scared away by the government?

I thought that this ‘Master Tang’ was not simple, but he was like this?

She found someone to pretend to be a Jinshi, and was she really trying to extort money from the Immortal? Was it just a coincidence that she knew some things about the Wang family?

It was me who made her think too complicatedly, and even used the briquette business to test...

It's a good thing now, all the charming looks are being shown to the blind man.

It didn't really matter. That woman was full of danger and was good at martial arts. When I accidentally entered the yard and was taken there by her, all I could think about was how to escape.

Now that she's gone by herself, it sounds safer.

Wang Xiao climbed down from the wall, but accidentally kowtowed.

He held his head and smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly.

On the one hand, I felt relieved, but on the other hand, I felt vaguely unwilling.

"It's okay to leave, but I can't play with her..."

Suddenly, a short, fat man with a round head and short hair appeared in his mind. He was wearing a cross talk robe. He pointed at himself with a fan and shouted: "Bah, you are just greedy for her body!"

Wang Xiao shook his head and whispered to himself: "I'm not, I'm so upright."

He decisively drove the short fat man out of his mind.

I originally thought that the woman could manage the government and have some connections in the industry. If the test proved clear, I might be able to keep her for my own use.

As for why?

Probably...well, you are a time traveler by yourself, right?

But when Wang Xiao thought about this, he actually felt quite guilty.

Traveler? Can you hold the rouge box?

He then murmured to himself again: "It's okay to leave, I can't play with her anyway."

It's a pity that 'Tang Ye' has nothing to eat.

The fat man talking about cross talk in my mind pointed with his fan again: "Do you want to eat soft food? You are greedy for her body."

Guo, get out of here, I'm not one of them.

"You are just greedy for her..."

Oh, okay.

"Okay." Wang Xiao shook his head and said to himself: "If you don't care about your body when you fall in love, it's better to be a slave..."——

He Wan woke up.

This is the guest room where guests of Xingwang Gambling House can rest.

After playing Pai Gow all night, He Wan only slept for less than two hours, but now he was full of energy.

Thinking of the conversation with Wang Zhen last night, he shook his head slightly.

There was something he didn't tell Wang Zhen that Li Fengang had died three years ago.

After He Wan was expelled from the academy, he gave up the idea of ​​taking the imperial examination and was ostracized by his brothers at home, so he started to do some maritime trade business.

Doing sea trade business is like gambling. You never know what will happen on the sea, but as long as the ship can come back, there will be huge rewards. Just like last night... No, this morning, I finally faced off against the Monkey King.

.

Li Fengang took a small stake in this business.

So Li Fenggang died, and He Wan knew about it.

But he didn't know if Wang Zhen knew about it.

It's better if Wang Zhen doesn't know... Anyway, if he dies at sea one day, Wang Zhen probably won't know.

Life is like this, you win and you lose, you never know what the dice will come up with.

Thinking like this, He Wan chuckled and walked out of the room.

Xiao Chaihe came towards me.

He Wan said: "Have you tried my few muskets? What do you think? It's not a loss, right?"

Xiao Chaihe laughed loudly and said: "How can the things given by Master He be so bad?"

He Wan said: "It's rare that you like firearms. We will go hunting together someday."

Xiao Chaihe could only laugh and said: "But it's a regular customer who wants to take it. I just made some money to make ends meet."

He Wan raised his eyebrows: "There is someone in Beijing who likes firearms? You can introduce me to him."

Xiao Chaihe laughed and said: "Every line has its own rules. Please forgive me, Master He. Will Master He still want to play Pai Gow today? I will make arrangements."

"We'll play again tomorrow, I have something to do in the afternoon." He Wan waved his hand.

After leaving the casino, he went to the restaurant opposite and ordered some food and drinks, then he sat down and ate alone.

After a while, a middle-aged man dressed as a shopkeeper came over. This was actually He Wan's confidant, congratulating Fengshou.

"Master Jiu, I asked you clearly. All the briquette shops in the capital are owned by a boss named Tang. After asking for a long time, I still don't know the specific identity of this person. But this afternoon the coal dealer in Beijing plans to visit him in Wufeng.

There is a commotion at the largest coal shop at No. 13 Street. I guess he will show up."

He Wan nodded, pointed to the opposite side, and asked him to sit down and eat.

"Master Jiu, aren't we going?" He Fengshou sat down.

He Wan said: "Why are you so anxious? Xiao Chaihe hasn't left yet."

He Fengshou said: "What does this matter have to do with Xiao Chaihe?"

"Oh, I asked him about the briquettes, and he said he would have nothing to do with it. What did he say again..."

"Every line has its own rules." He Fengshou reminded in a low voice.

"That's right." He Wan smiled and said, "This means that Boss Tang is Xiao Chaihe's customer again. Hehe, let me ask you, if the whole capital is his customer, how will his business be done?

"

"Haha." He Fengshou laughed twice.

He Wan said: "Man, you can bite off more than you can chew. In a gambling game, betting on both big and small is a waste of time. Do you understand?"

"clear."

"If it goes as expected, Xiao Chaihe will also come over in the afternoon. Let's wait here and go with him to settle matters for Boss Tang, so we can make friends. Haha."

"Jiu Ye is wise, how about the young one call for some carriages?" He Fengshou said.

He Wan said: "Why call a taxi?"

He Fengshou lowered his voice and said: "Master Jiu, think about it, as soon as those coal dealers come forward, the price will definitely rise. Why don't we collect more briquettes now? We will fill it in with a high price when we do the accounting. Will we be able to eat it?"

I’m short of money.”

He Wan chuckled lightly and said, "Uncle Fengshou, it's been half a month since I came back, right?"

"Thirteen days exactly, remember it, little one."

"You still think I'm the good-for-nothing Xiao Jiu from before. What's the point of taking this kickback?"

"What does Master Jiu want to do?"

"Oh, just watch." He Wan shook his head, chewed peanuts, and said with a smile: "Let my brothers know what business is."

As He Wan shook his head, He Fengshou saw the faint scar on his neck and couldn't help but thought: Master Xiaojiu is indeed very different from before.

After a while, I saw Xiao Chaihe leading a large group of people out of the house.

The group of people were all strong men with broad shoulders and round waists, and there were thirty people in total.

The weather was quite cold at this time, so these strong men were strutting shirtless on the street, which was naturally very eye-catching.

There were also many people who wanted to watch the excitement, and they followed them one after another, and a large group of people walked toward Wufeng Street.

Qin Xiaozhu's sister and brother were gambling, and were also mixed in the crowd at this time, and they were very curious.

"Sister, are these people going to rebel?" Qin Xuance asked softly.

Qin Xiaozhu said: "It's best not to do it. What if they rebel and everyone finds that only thirty people can defeat the three major battalions of the capital?"
