Empress, your husband is invincible

Chapter 144: Steep increase in net worth

Ye Cheng didn't go back to the palace after the victory, but came to wait for him immediately——

What does this mean?
Doesn't this mean that Zhuang Yan's position in his brother Ye's heart faintly exceeds that of His Majesty...

But before thinking about it, Zhuang Yan couldn't help but sink in his heart.

"Do you take those bills from the casino with you?"

Ye Cheng didn't know what was going on in Zhuang Yan's mind at all. Apart from fame, all he cared about was the money in the casino that he hadn't had time to mention.

You know, when he went out today, he carried all the casino credentials in his arms.

Zhuang Yan was depressed for a moment, and he reacted immediately.

He exchanged all the cash in Marquis Wu's mansion for casino credentials.

But now, as expected, Ye Cheng completely defeated everyone and stood at the end.Doesn't that mean that he has increased all the assets of Marquis Wu's Mansion by nearly ten times with his own strength?
Breathing suddenly became heavy, Zhuang Yan immediately poked his head out of the carriage.

"Uncle Liu, go home!"

……

As soon as he returned to Marquis Wu's Mansion, Zhuang Yan, who was still injured, jumped out of the carriage immediately.Without anyone's help, he went straight to his room.

Ye Cheng didn't wait for a moment in the carriage, when he saw Zhuang Yan running out of the mansion with a small box in his hands.

"Brother Ye, where should we go first?"

Before breathing evenly, Zhuang Yan's face was blushing.

"Max Casino!"

Without thinking about it, Ye Cheng directly gave a location.

Ye Sheng placed the biggest bet in Wansheng Casino, and of course, the corresponding rewards were also the biggest.

In addition, Wansheng Casino is backed by Suhou Mansion, which has always been at odds with Wuhou Mansion. Whether it is for reward or to relieve anger, this place is definitely the first place that Ye Cheng and Zhuang Yan agree on.

All the way west from Wuhou Mansion, the three of them arrived at Wansheng Casino in a short time.

As expected, today's Wansheng Casino is extremely lively.

Many gamblers who have won bets are holding up their bills from time to time to show off their unique vision to those around them.

Those who lost were crying and shouting, especially dissatisfied.

After Ye Cheng and Zhuang Yan got off the car, Jin Laosan, who hadn't shown up until now, came out of nowhere.

Without waiting for Zhuang Yan and Ye Cheng to come up with evidence, Jin Laosan immediately summoned his subordinates and presented the banknotes covered with red silk on two trays in front of them.

"You two, all the money you deserve is here..."

With a mournful look on his face, Jin Laosan kept bowing his hands towards Ye Cheng and Zhuang Yan.

The entanglement and embarrassment on his face, I'm afraid even a blind person can easily see it.

"What? The shopkeeper Jin doesn't welcome us in?"

Before Ye Cheng could speak, Zhuang Yan, who lifted the red silk and glanced at the tray, addressed Jin Laosan.

Jin Laosan bowed his head and laughed along with him.

Ye Cheng glanced at the various gamblers around him who were looking at him, frowned slightly, gave Zhuang Yan a tug, and went straight to the carriage.

"This time, the Suhou Mansion should lose a lot of money."

Lifting off the red silk on the tray, Zhuang Yan smiled happily, grabbed the top few thousand taels of silver bills and stuffed them into the sleeves.

Ye Cheng counted his bank notes carefully, and after confirming that the value was correct, he immediately felt better.

The number of casinos where Ye Sheng participated in the betting was far less than that of Zhuang Yan, the "prodigal son". It took almost only an hour or two before all the bank notes were taken back.

I don't know if it was the reason why Zhuang Yan followed, but none of the casinos where Ye Cheng participated in the betting dared to refuse to pay the compensation.

After following Zhuang Yan, Ye Cheng finally got out of the carriage as he watched helplessly as he filled the carriage he had summoned again with boxes.

Zhuang Yan couldn't wait to pull a half-carriage worth of banknotes home, but Ye Cheng still had one thing on his mind.

Following the route in his memory, he came straight to the noodle shop opened by the old couple, but Ye Cheng found that the old couple didn't come to the stall today.

Squeezing a 50 tael bank note in his sleeve, Ye Cheng was just about to turn around and leave when he overheard a discussion at a side stall.

"That old Li's brother, it's really miserable! The government doesn't pay half of the compensation for this man who doesn't live or die!"

"A widower, what does the government care about him?

If it weren't for Lao Li's kindness, I'm afraid, no one would even erect a tomb for him..."

Ye Cheng listened for a while, but found that what the people at the small stall were discussing was only the mysterious death of a widowed watchman last night...

It just so happened that the old man on the other side of the stall who Ye Cheng owed the money to was the cousin of the widow and widower.

After thinking about it, Ye Cheng saluted one of the kind diners:
"This brother, please ask, where does that old Li Tou live? I have an old relationship with that old Li Tou, and I want to return him a favor."

Those diners didn't pay attention to Ye Cheng at first, but they didn't notice Ye Cheng's attire until Ye Cheng made a noise.

When Ye Cheng was at the gate of Marquis Wu's Mansion, he changed into new clothes.

At this moment, he is dressed in brocade clothes, handsome and handsome, at first glance, he is not like an ordinary person.

The diner was obviously discerning, he just looked at Ye Cheng for a moment, then hurriedly got up, and said respectfully:

"The little one really happens to know the home of old Li Tou. If the nobleman is free, can the young one take the nobleman there?"

Ye Cheng thought for a while, then took out a piece of broken silver from a newly purchased purse, and threw it to him in the air.

"Then trouble brother."

Under the envious eyes of other diners, the kind-faced diner immediately picked up the broken silver, turned around and led Ye Cheng to the alley not far away.

In the mouth of this talkative eater who claimed to be surnamed Zhang, the picture of Lao Litou's family background gradually emerged in Ye Cheng's mind.

If it weren't for the little brother surnamed Zhang, Ye Cheng probably wouldn't have thought of it when he was beaten to death. Old Li Tou, who looks honest and can't even beat a fart with a sap, was actually quite a combat veteran when he was young. Frontier!

It was also because of his bravery that he saved a little money so that Old Li was able to find a virtuous wife, so he wouldn't be like his cousin who spent his entire life as a bachelor...

But Old Li's life was really not good. He finally had three children, two boys and one girl, but among the three children, only one youngest survived to adulthood...

After waiting for the youngest to get married and have a child, Old Li thought that he could finally let go and enjoy his leisure.

But I never thought that the youngest was intercepted and killed by bandits during a visit with his wife...

"...In old Li's family, there are only his old wife and a little grandson?"

You can already see the dilapidated but clean and tidy courtyard not far away, Ye Cheng frowned slightly and asked the little brother surnamed Zhang beside him.

"Isn't that why? His little grandson is also a careless one. He has been sick all year round, and he is almost a medicine jar..."

"cough!"
