Tianhuang nobleman

Rou Jia is married, there is no one else in Lingnan Prince's Mansion, and Bai Ren has been going back to the mansion for no reason. Every day Qi Xiao got up early and went to Chaobairan to go to the Xinxin Academy, and returned to the Prince's Mansion before noon. After lunch, he would rest in one place for a while. After a long day of sleepiness, the two of them went to the inner study together, Qi Xiao approved official documents, Bai Ren flipped through the scriptures, and would write a few big characters when he was in the mood, no one would quarrel with each other, and they would have dinner together in the evening Afterwards, Qi Xiao stopped going to the inner study, and joked with Bai Renwo in the bedroom.

Even though he was only in one room and had no other fun, Qi Xiao never felt bored, just looking at Bai Ren, even simply sitting was better than anywhere else, and Bai Ren was even more tired of Qi Xiao. , there is no trace of coldness in front of people, just want to be intimate with him.

After dinner that day, Qi Xiao took a set of dice from a dice cup and put them on the table. Seeing Bai Ren's puzzled look, he smiled and said, "I don't know, you never played when you were young?"

Bai Ren shook his head and smiled: "No... I do recognize it, but I really didn't play it when I was a child. Why does Your Highness have this?"

Qi Xiao smiled lightly: "When I was 16, I went to a casino for half a year. Back then, I even asked the speaker to participate in the performance."

Bai Ren was speechless: "Why do you go to the casino to play if you have nothing to do?"

Qi Xiao smiled but said nothing, took out the money box, took a piece of gold leaf and put it on the table, smiled: "I'll bet big."

Bai Ren regained his energy all of a sudden, but it's a pity that he never brought money with him when he came to Qi Xiao. After searching all over his body, there was only one safety buckle on his waist that could be used as gambling money. Qi Xiao smiled and gave him a purse of golden melon seeds , Bai Ren stretched out his hand to pick it up, but Qi Xiao stepped back and said with a smile: "I have a lot of them, a hundred golden melon seeds, a total of five taels, I will lend you first, if you lose later, why don't you pay?" explain?"

After Bai Ren paused, Qi Xiao chuckled: "Let's talk about it first, if you don't pay off the debt in a while, you have to follow the rules of the casino." Bai Ren's face flushed slightly, and then he thought about where he was Will lose, nodded and said: "Okay." After saying that, he grabbed a few golden melon seeds and placed a bet, saying: "Bet small."

Qi Xiao nodded, put the dice back into the dice cup, raised his hand and shook it slightly, and still clasped it on the table, let go of his hand, and signaled Bai Ren to open it, Bai Ren smiled, and opened it carefully, two Liu Yi Five is really big.

Qi Xiao took the golden melon seeds on the table and threw them into the money box, and smiled: "This time, tell me first, whether to make the big ones or the small ones?"

Bai Ren also became interested in gambling, but he was still small, but he was worried about Qi Xiaoyao, so he got up and put the huanghuali three-drawer teacup fruit in front of him on the butterfly table beside the couch to make room for him. Spread a woven camel wool blanket on the small kang table, took the white jade dice cup in Qi Xiao's hand, shook it back and forth for half a day, put it down to see, it was still big!

Qi Xiao slowly took the gold that Bairen had bet on to him, and said with a smile, "Remand? I'll leave it to you, or you go first."

Bai Ren came up stubbornly, but he still bet on the small one. After shaking it for half a day, he put it down and looked at it, it was still the big one. After going back and forth, Bai Ren's purse bottomed out, Qi Xiao smiled: "Do you still bet?"

Bai Ren frowned slightly, picked up the dice for a closer look, weighed it in his hand again, got up and brought a cup of tea, put the three dice into the tea one by one, the dice sank slowly, and finally they were all six That side faces up.

Bai Ren smiled at Qi Xiao: "Your Highness, what do you say?"

Qi Xiao couldn't help laughing, he poured the tea, took the dice and said, "I know I can't hide it from you, when the dice is engraved, the craftsman hollowed out one side of the dice and poured mercury into it." It’s so easy to get bigger dice.” Qi Xiao flipped his hand and handed the other three hidden dice to Bai Ren: “These three are easy to get smaller dice, and I planned to switch them in when you were big.”

Bai Ren laughed and sighed softly: "If you don't say that the water in the casino is deep, a dice can be so tricky... Speaking of which, why did Your Highness think of playing this?"

Qi Xiao chuckled: "Just now I told you that I visited a casino for half a year before, in fact... I have two private houses in the casino, and I went there to meet up with my informants, and then there is a The emperor uncovered the truth, but saved another place. Since last year, this dark village has been taking care of Lingnan's affairs for me, and now..."

Qi Xiao put the dice in Bai Ren's palm and smiled: "I'll give you this dark village."

Bai Ren was taken aback, and quickly shook his head and said: "No, not to mention how much effort His Highness has spent raising these people, I myself have spies and informants, it's not good to..."

Qi Xiao smiled lightly and repeated: "Your spy and informant."

Bai Ren was slightly embarrassed, and said in a low voice: "My people are naturally not as good as His Highness's..." Qi Xiao smiled dotingly: "Contacting the people in Lingnan, I originally wanted to hand it over to you. One is that you want to do it. When will it be more convenient? Second, you are originally from Lingnan and know a lot about things over there. I am afraid that you are better than me in discussing many things with them. These people are not given to you for nothing. In the future, things over there , I just want to explain to you, if there is anything going on over there, you have to tell me in a timely manner, understand?"

Bai Ren could not refuse, so he had no choice but to agree, but he still felt sorry, Qi Xiao smiled lightly, lightly stroked the dice in Bai Ren's hand and said in a deep voice, "Linglong dice An Hongdou, as long as you understand what I mean."

Linglong dice puts red beans on the bones and knows nothing.

Bai Ren's heart was so warm that he couldn't bear it, and couldn't help leaning close to Qi Xiao, rubbing his arms into his arms, and said in a low voice: "How much merit I have accumulated in my previous life, I can meet Your Highness in this life..."

Qi Xiao smiled lightly, lowered his head and kissed Bai Ren's lips, and said with a smile: "Okay, stop talking about these nice things, and settle the account just now, you just lost that purse of gold, five taels Jin Zi, His Royal Highness, please repay your gambling debt..."

……

The next day was the day for Roujia to return home, the two got up early, Qi Xiao was inconvenient to follow, so he only ordered Jiang Deqing to prepare a set of masks, and Bai Ren took a few bolts of tribute satin as a gift.

After sending the person away, Qi Xiaoping retreated from the crowd, told Jiang Deqing what happened last night, and finally said: "The people over there have been taken care of by Shunzi, and Bai Ren and Shunzi also know each other well, so I don't need to If the informant is changed, let Shunzi deliver the message."

Jiang Deqing nodded, hesitated for a while and couldn't help but said: "Your Highness, this old servant knows that His Highness loves His Majesty, but it's fine to give money to Zhuangzi. There is really no need to give these spies to His Majesty. How many years of hard work did His Highness spend?" The cultivated ones are just given to the prince..."

Qi Xiao smiled and shook his head: "I have a lot of dark estates, and I don't lack this one. And... this time, it's not just because I love him. Father-in-law hasn't forgotten, the news about Wen Yu...but it's coming soon."

Jiang Deqing paused for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "Your Highness...wants to..."

"Hush..." Qi Xiao smiled lightly, "I've never touched these dirty things before."

Qi Xiao took a dice beside the couch and played it carefully. Last night Bai Ren was so touched that he was still holding the dice in his hand when he fell asleep. Qi Xiao knew that Bai Ren was so happy not because he was greedy for this dark place, he It is to thank myself for his heart everywhere.

Qi Xiao sighed softly, but unfortunately, his mind was not as pure as Bai Ren thought.

Qi Xiao followed up the letter early yesterday morning, saying that Wen Yu's matter has been settled, so within five days, there will be news here.

Wen Yu just provoked himself before, but now something happened, Bai Ren must be the first to doubt himself, Qi Xiao never cared what others think of him, but for Bai Ren, Qi Xiao rarely had some concerns, No matter how bad it is, Wen Yu is also Bai Ren's brother, and he doesn't want Bai Ren to know that he did it himself.

Qi Xiao actually knew in his heart that Bai Ren is not that hypocritical person, even if he knew it, he would never blame himself, he would only be grateful, but Qi Xiao still has to be careful, he first set up a trick for Cen, and then He hurt Rou Jia again, fortunately Bai Ren never noticed it, but like this kind of hurting Bai Ren's relatives, Qi Xiao avoided suspicion if he could.

What happened to Wen Yu was done by the people from Confucius Temple. Qi Xiao’s subordinates have nothing to do with the village. Even if they fought on the street, neither side would know that they were working together. They will know that something happened to Wen Yu. As for who did it, Qi Xiao is confident that they will not be able to find out with the methods of the people from the Confucius Temple.

I confessed to Bairen yesterday that the people in the gambling house are in charge of Lingnan affairs. When something happened to Wenyu, Bairen first thought that it must be done here, but he handed over the person to him. Blade only needs to ask to know that they were not the ones who did it, and in this way, it is considered that he has completely picked himself out.

Qi Xiao smiled lightly at Jiang Deqing: "Now you know why I had to let people from the Confucius Temple do the business when I was in Zhuangzi, right?"

Jiang Deqing couldn't help but shook his head and sighed: "Your Highness is really very cunning... The inadvertent move at the beginning turned out to be today..."

Qi Xiao chuckled lightly: "Okay, go tell Shunzi to let Bai Ren take over the affairs over there... I'm not all here to clean myself up, after Wen Yu's incident comes out, Bai Ren's worth in Beijing will be lowered." It's the same, everyone looks at him like a piece of fat, I feel relieved to give him some people, and secondly, let him experience more experience, not to treat him as a child prostitute is to pamper him, and to take care of the house Dao, the art of controlling people, you have to teach him."

Jiang Deqing sighed again and again: "For your son, Your Highness has exhausted all his heart."

Qi Xiao curled his lips into a smile: "No, it's fun."
