The Prodigal Son's Happy Life - Chapter 141

[Chapter 141 Scalper]

The young assassin had a strange expression on his face when he heard this.

After witnessing the scene just now, he almost thought he would die.

But from the words of this young master, it seems that as long as you answer his question, you can avoid death?

For a person, the most painful thing is not despair, but that after giving hope, he is left powerless, and then still despairs.

In the same way, the happiest thing is naturally seeing hope after despair.

At first, the young assassin did not think about betrayal until he saw death as light as a feather.

At that moment, he realized what a blessing it was to be alive.

He is still very young, has not yet married a wife, has no children, and has not done many, many things.

He was unwilling to die so quietly. No one knew, no one cared, and there might not even be a place to bury his bones.

But

the morality in his heart condemned his behavior and made him despise it.

The young assassin had an inner battle between heaven and man, and finally made up his mind.

Even if you don’t say it yourself, others will.

Even if others don’t tell, with their strength, they will find out sooner or later.

In this case, what is the meaning of my persistence?

The young assassin gritted his teeth, raised his eyes, looked at Fang Xiu, and said, “I”

Just as he spoke, Fang Xiu shook his head and said, “I said, I will give you one day to think about it, and I will give you one day to think about it.” A second is not even a day.

At this time tomorrow, I hope to hear the answer I want.”

After saying that, he walked out of the yard without looking back.

The other older assassin had a calm expression from beginning to end. His expression didn’t change until he saw his partner lying beside him.

By now, he had an almost desperate expression on his face. He looked at the young assassin beside him. Just as he was about to say something, his mouth was covered by the Fang Mansion guard.

The two assassins didn’t have time to say a word until the end before they were separated again and imprisoned in different rooms.

After walking out of the yard, Fang Xiu glanced at Bai Xiaochun and ordered: “At this time tomorrow, send two people to interrogate them separately.”

Bai Xiaochun nodded respectfully: “Yes, young master.”

As he spoke, the two of them had already walked back to their usual routine. Living in the backyard.

Fang Xiu sat on the recliner and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Too many things had happened in the past two days, making him feel tired for the first time.

Not far away, unknown insects made cooing sounds, and stars flickered in the night sky, which was very bright.

After resting for a while, Fang Xiu opened his eyes again, looked at Bai Xiaochun beside him, and asked, “How’s it going at Zhuxuanzhai?”

Bai Xiaochun took out a piece of letterhead from his arms, handed it to Fang Xiu, and said, “You The newspaper you ordered is already being printed at full capacity and will be available for sale in two days, because several pirated bookshops in the capital were smashed by you two days ago.”

Fang Xiu glared at Bai Xiaochun and said, “What do you mean it was smashed by me? Who saw it? Did I do it?

It was done by those refugees, and it has nothing to do with Fang Mansion, and it has nothing to do with me, remember!”

Bai Xiaochun also realized that he had said something wrong, and hurriedly corrected himself: “It was a small slip of the tongue, those few things. After the pirated bookshop was destroyed by the refugees, the only bookshop in the capital that could print “The Romance of the West Chamber” was Zhuxuanzhai. Therefore,

Shopkeeper Lu

did not miss the details of the printing of “The Romance of the West Chamber” and other books.

I have sent you a letter, please read it.”

Fang Xiu took the letter, opened it, glanced at it a few times, nodded, and asked, “How did you go with your instructions to Wang Baole?”

Passing by the Military Academy? After reading this, Fang Xiu gradually realized the value of Wang Baole and Baolefang.

And Wang Baole also needs a strong background to gain a foothold in the capital.

Fang Mansion seemed to be his best choice.

Firstly, he maintained a good relationship with Fang Xiu, and secondly, for a powerless businessman like him, the Fang Mansion was powerful enough.

Not to mention An Pingbo, one of the important generals, Fang Xiu was also a rising star in the court.

He became the Zuo Zhonglang General of the Habayashi Guards at a young age. If nothing unexpected happens, he may not be able to reach the height of An Pingbo. It can be said that he has a bright future.

And Fang Xiu also needs Baolefang’s money to hold this pro-military review.

The two hit it off immediately. Although there was no relationship on the surface, in fact, they both knew in their hearts.

“Shopkeeper Wang has prepared a football team and it will be available tomorrow.”

Bai Xiaochun replied.

Fang Xiu nodded and asked, “How is the Fangfu football team practicing these days?”

Bai Xiaochun looked embarrassed, thought for a moment, and said, “The rules of football are too complicated. You can still play well, but that won’t be the case when you get on the court.”

Fang Xiu waved his hand and said, “It’s good to be able to play.”

Anyway, he had never thought about it. Cuju had never seen a team formed temporarily. How can such a person play?

All he needs is two football teams that understand the rules and are strong enough to compete, so that tomorrow’s friendly match can go smoothly

. Thinking that football can be recreated in this world, Fang Xiu feels an inexplicable sense of accomplishment, and a little anticipation rises in his heart.

Time passed, and in a blink of an eye, it was noon the next day.

The wide open space in front of the Capital Grand Theater was bustling with activity.

Countless people came from all over the capital to see the football.

Of course, the most important thing is that after the football game, you can get a free ticket for “Nie Xiaoqian” at the ticket office.

During this period, with the popularity of the “Nie Xiaoqian” series, a movie ticket at the Jingshi Grand Theater that cost only one hundred pennies had been sold for more than one or two cents.

This is still priceless.

Many people want to sell, but they have no way.

Because of this vote, many professions have emerged.

Someone lined up to buy a ticket on his behalf. It only cost 200 silver. Although it was twice as expensive as the ticket price, it was much cheaper than buying tickets from other people.

Among them, the most disgusting ones are some second-rate traffickers who specialize in grabbing tickets.

Because the ticket office of the Beijing Grand Theater opens at fixed times every day.

Therefore, these second-rate dealers who rush to buy tickets wait in front of the ticket office early. Once the ticket office opens, they rush to the ticket office and rush to buy.

One person can often buy dozens of tickets, leaving those who really want to watch the show without tickets.

Because when these people rush to grab tickets, they are like a riot of scalpers. Therefore, some people call them scalpers. Once they come and go, it has become a stereotype.

In the south of the city and even in the capital, when people talk about scalpers, they are referring to these second-rate dealers who stand in front of the Grand Theater of the capital to grab tickets and sell them at high prices.

Fortunately, this situation did not last long…

The Jingshi Grand Theater issued a new rule two days ago that one person can only buy three tickets, which greatly curbed the proliferation of scalpers.
