Chapter 23: Out of the Thousand
Li Hao returned to the room and found that the five hundred guan were still there, secretly rejoicing, rejoicing and regretting at the same time, why did he make a mistake in his head and move the money to the cellar, now it's okay, he was stolen 1,800 guan, 1,800 guan!
Li Hao was so anxious that he didn't eat lunch, and at one o'clock in the afternoon, the county government finally sent someone to come, a total of three catchers came, but the catchers didn't come, and two of them looked like they were only eighteen or nineteen years old, and they were interns at first glance.
Li Hao was very unhappy, because the county government didn't take such a trivial matter as theft to heart at all, he was angry, and scolded those who caught it quickly, telling them to go back to the county government, and shouting that they would go to Chang'an to report to the emperor directly.
The three catchers were scolded by him and ran away, and after going back, he told the county commander Chen Anzhi about it, Chen Anzhi heard that Li Hao was going to Chang'an to report to the emperor, Fu Yi smiled, thinking that this Li Hao must have been kicked in the head by a donkey, will the emperor accept this kind of trivial matter, what are you kidding, His Majesty Tian Khan is very busy.
However, the master kindly reminded him at this time that this Li Hao was the young man who quelled the plague, who was rewarded by Li Shimin in the Golden Palace and settled in Shanghe Village, Lantian.
When Chen Xianling heard this, he was so shocked that he bounced up from his chair, and hurriedly ordered to prepare a sedan chair and go to Shanghe Village.
Chen Anzhi came to Li Hao's house in person, Li Hao didn't even give him a cup of tea, and asked him directly as soon as they met: "Chen County Order, my 1,800 yuan of money was stolen, 1,800 yuan, just say, how long will it take to help me get it back." ”
"Uh...... This ......" Chen Anzhi was embarrassed, he suddenly felt that it was very difficult to govern Diao people like Li Hao in his district, at least he didn't give himself face, and even the minimum number of etiquette was wooden, and it was bad.
Although Chen Anzhi gave Li Hao a bad review and branded him as Diao Min, he still didn't dare to offend Li Hao, after all, he was a person summoned by the emperor, and although he was an official, he hadn't even seen the gate of Taiji Palace, so it was not easy to compare.
Chen Anzhi tried his best to comfort Li Hao: "Li Gongzi rest assured, it is the duty of this official to steal under the rule of this official, and this official will definitely try his best to help you arrest the thief." ”
Regarding Chen Anzhi's attitude, Li Hao was finally satisfied, and nodded: "Thank you Lord Chen so much, otherwise I would really have to go to the emperor for help." ”
Chen Anzhi's eyebrows twitched when he heard this, if he really went to find the emperor, he couldn't do this county order, so he hurriedly packed the ticket again, and his chest was shocking.
In fact, Li Hao is just scaring and scaring him, afraid that he will play Tai Chi with him, as an official, if he can push it, he can drag it, he still knows that routine.
Sending Chen Anzhi away, Li Hao's heart was empty, to be honest, he didn't have much hope for this Chen County Order, he stood in the courtyard for a while, slowly looked up at the sky, his eyes were deep and distant: "Could it be ...... I'm going to sell poetry? "He's addicted to the pit and the pit.
Li Hao was not forced to sell poetry again, because Chen Xianling actually caught the thief who stole Li Hao's money.
Li Hao's threat to Chen Anzhi is still very useful, in order to keep his black yarn hat, Chen Anzhi went back and gave a death order to the arresters, within three days, the thieves will be arrested, otherwise they will all go home to farm.
The thieves in Lantian County were just released from prison for two days, and they were caught again.
After repeated interrogations by the jailers working overtime, they finally found the real culprit who stole Li Hao's house, a total of three people: Lai Si, Zhang Yu, and Chen Sanpi.
These three people are local ruffians and hooligans, who usually bully men and women, and are frequent visitors to the Lantian County Prison, spending three or four months in prison every year, but this time, the number of thefts they stole is a bit large, a full 1,800 yuan, which is more than the money they have stolen in their lives combined.
Stealing is just a minor crime, and they can be released after ten days and half a month, which is similar to detention, but they were very unlucky this time, they met Li Hao, a miser, and Li Hao asked them to spit out all the money.
However, Li Hao's answer to these three goods shocked Li Hao, after they stole the money, they used it all to gamble, and what's worse was that they even gambled and lost, and in just three days, they lost almost 1,800 yuan.
Li Hao collapsed, searched their home, and finally only got back 400 guan money, and the rest of the 1,400 guan was really lost by them, Li Hao was angry and forced them to pay back the money, these three people are usually lazy and idle, how can they have the money to return to him, Li Hao refused to give up, and in a fit of anger, let them sign a deed of sale and do coolies for themselves until it was enough for 1,400 guan.
The three guys also knew that they had kicked the iron plate this time, so they could only accept their fate, and they were ready to be slaves for the rest of their lives, and they were still 1,400 yuan, don't joke, they can't die yet.
Li Hao had a gloomy face, and returned home with the three ruffians, through observation along the way, he found that these three people were full of vices, although they had sold themselves to themselves, but they didn't seem to respect themselves, he guessed that maybe these three people knew that there was no hope in this life, and they were ready to break the jar.
This is not good, Li Hao asked them to come back to do things, not to ask the three uncles to come back and toss himself, he decided to repair the three goods.
As soon as he got home, Li Hao held a family meeting, announcing that Lai Si, Zhang Yu, and Chen Sanpi would become the most inferior slaves of the Li family, what does the most inferior mean, that is, everyone can scold a few words when they see them, and even slap them twice, basically similar to slaves, these three people are under the control of the Jin family, help themselves raise chickens, and he also specially braided a rattan and handed it to the Jin family in front of these three people, as long as they are disobedient, they pump hard, they draw to death, and they don't have to pay for their lives if they die, this is the original words.
The three ruffians were so frightened that their faces turned green on the spot, and they put away the little Jiujiu in their hearts, sighing to themselves.
After handing over these three ruffians to the Jin family, Li Hao hid in the room and began to count his assets, there are still 900 guan, the matter of buying land will be put on hold for the time being, the family's expenses are basically maintained at about 10 guan a month, and the expansion of chicken farms and hatchery farms will take about 80 guan, renting shops, decoration, pots, stoves, kitchenware and other various equipment will cost a lot of money, calculate carefully, 900 guan is enough, for his chicken wishbone plan, Li Hao really feels tired, alas, why did he read the novel before, Those protagonists can easily earn a lot of money, but there are all kinds of ups and downs when they get to themselves.
The three ruffians first began to be shocked by Li Hao's cold attitude, they were very serious and well-behaved, Jin was kind-hearted, and did not arrange any heavy work for them, so she let them feed the chickens, and she did the hard work of cleaning the chicken coop herself, and she was as busy as a spinning top every day. Li Hao didn't really treat these three ruffians as slaves, and would still pay them a salary of one hundred yuan every month in order to increase their motivation to work.
There is a saying that the nature of the country is easy to change and difficult to change, some people just can't be too good to him, these three ruffians are such virtues, they see that the Jin family has a good temper, Li Hao also takes good care of them, and his courage gradually grows, and he hides in the corner of the chicken farm every day when he has nothing to do to secretly gamble, after all, they are three bad gamblers, and it is not so easy to get them to quit gambling addiction.
At first, they did it very secretively, and then they became more and more bold, and more than a month later, they were discovered by the Jin family, and the Jin family warned them not to gamble, and then they also reasoned with them, and the three ruffians agreed against the yin, but they continued to gamble afterwards.
After more than ten days, Jin found out that they were gambling again, so he told Li Hao about it, Li Hao was very angry, and Jin came to the chicken farm, and happened to meet these three guys gambling money, and was caught by Li Hao.
Three ruffians wilted now, lined up in front of Li Hao, did not dare to speak, Li Hao looked at their gambling tools on the ground, very simple, a bowl, a small pebble, a small wooden stick, the way of gambling is also very simple, a person sits in the village, grabs a handful of stones and buckles it with a bowl, and then let the other two people guess the odd or even number, win or lose is one to one, if only one person guesses, then the dealer does not win or lose, if two people guess, the dealer loses two, if two people do not guess, the dealer wins two.
After Li Hao saw this simple gambling tool, he looked at them with a sneer and asked, "Do you dare to play a few games with me?" ”
The three ruffians can't believe their ears, and the family wants to bet with them? It's too funny, even if he is the head of the family, he is just a fourteen-year-old little hairy child, and he dares to gamble with their group of old gamblers, is this uncomfortable? Or do you think there is a lot of money?
Zhang Yu is very good at being a man, and grinned: "Young master, don't do it, you are still young, not suitable for playing this ......"
"What? Look down on me? Li Hao looked at them with a sneer.
"No, absolutely not." Zhang Yu shook his head into a rattle.
Li Hao didn't wait for him to finish speaking, he squatted down and grabbed a handful of stones, buckled them with a bowl, and said, "Bet one bet on fifty yuan, come on." ”
The three of you, look at me, I'll look at you, I didn't expect Li Hao to be serious, Zhang Yu was the first to react, looked at the remaining stones on the ground, and said loudly: "Singular!" ”
Chen Sanpi shook his head: "I guess it's an even number." ”
Lai Si thought for a while and said, "It's singular." ”
"Then I'll open it." Li Hao opened the bowl, divided the stones into five piles with a wooden stick, and finally counted them, it was twenty, even number, Zhang Yu and Lai Si both lost, Chen Sanpi won, Li Hao gave Chen Sanpi fifty Wen, Zhang Yu and Lai Si obediently handed over fifty Wen to Li Hao, in this way, Li Hao also won fifty Wen.
A new game started again, this time the three of them all guessed that it was singular, because they obviously saw that Li Hao only put nine stones under the bowl, with their years of experience, they could count it in that instant, but when the bowl was opened, there were ten stones below, and the three of them were dumbfounded, and each of them reluctantly handed over fifty wen, Chen Sanpi had no money, because his money was lost to Lai Si and Zhang Yu these days.
Chen Sanpi withdrew, only Zhang Yu and Lai Si gambled with Li Hao, and played five more, no matter how they guessed, Li Hao would not lose, as long as Lai Si and Zhang Yu guessed differently, Li Hao would not win or lose, as long as the two of them guessed the same, Li Hao would inevitably come up with the opposite result.
They also gradually found that there seemed to be a clue in it, but they couldn't see what the problem was.
Of course they can't see it, because Li Hao has practiced, of course he has not practiced gambling, but he has practiced magic, in order to pick up girls, he has practiced magic for more than half a year, but he didn't expect it to come in handy now, this is just a relatively simple trick in magic, Li Hao only needs to hide a stone in his hand, and at the moment he opens the bowl, he can change the number of stones by throwing the stone under the bowl with his little thumb, so Li Hao will never lose when he bets with them.
In the end, Lai Si had no money, only Zhang Yu continued to gamble with Li Hao, Zhang Yu actually only had more than forty dollars left, he didn't believe in this evil, and bet all on it.
Li Hao only put three stones under the bowl this time, and the three of them could see it clearly, Zhang Yu naturally guessed the singular, and then when Li Hao opened the bowl, there were obviously four stones under the bowl.
The three of them were stunned for an instant, and after a while, they were 10,000 percent sure that Li Hao was out of the middle.
