Chapter 1075: Lose 9 bets, win every bet, Gu Qingqing
"What do you mean by that, sir?"
In this dim room, the shining gold ingot was so dazzling that Qian Zhengqing's breathing became rapid.
Originally, Zhou Chen's sudden appearance made him very dissatisfied with Zhou Chen, but with the appearance of these gold ingots, his view of Zhou Chen instantly changed.
Zhou Chen had been watching Qian Zhengqing's expression, and when he saw his glowing eyes and slightly trembling hands, he knew that his goal was secure this time.
"I'm taking the liberty to come here to calm Lord Qian's panic. If Lord Qian can do me a favor, I will give you another 1000 taels of gold."
Qian Zhengqing's breath was stagnant. 1000 taels of gold. One tael of gold is equivalent to ten taels of silver. 1000 taels of gold is equivalent to 1 taels of silver.
Even though he had been an official for many years, 1 taels of silver was still very important to him. After three years as county guard, the income he obtained through various methods was only tens of thousands of taels of silver.
More importantly, gold is so beautiful, much more beautiful than silver.
He held his breath and tried to calm down.
"What do you want me to do for you? If it's against the law, I won't help you even if you take 1 taels of gold."
But he thought in his heart that if he really gave 1 taels of gold, he could let this county guard go.
Zhou Chen said slowly: "Don't worry, Mr. Qian, it is not difficult for you to ask for your help."
Qian Zhengqing didn't believe it at all. It was not difficult. If he could come up, he would be given 100 taels of gold. And there would be 1000 taels of gold afterwards?
"I want Master Qian to help me redeem someone in the Jiaofang Division."
"woman?"
"Correct."
When he heard that he was helping to redeem a woman, Qian Zhengqing was relieved. Compared with other things, it was not difficult for the Jiaofang Secretary to redeem someone.
Although the Jiaofangsi has rules and it is difficult for ordinary people to redeem a person in the Jiaofangsi, as the guardian of a county, there is no problem for him to go to the Jiaofangsi to redeem a woman.
At most, he would suffer some loss of reputation because of the redemption, but he was not afraid at all. His current reputation wasn't that good anyway, so what's the harm in having more rumors?Compared with 1000 taels of gold, even a fool knows how to choose.
"Who do you want to redeem?"
"The daughter of the former Linhai County Magistrate, Gu Qingqing."
"Gu Yongyan's daughter?"
Qian Zhengqing looked surprised. As the governor of Dongyang County, he certainly knew Gu Yongyan, the former county magistrate of Linhai County. Gu Yongyan was beheaded and his house ransacked before. Although it was not his order, he knew about it. At the same time, he also knew that Gu Yongyan was not real. What did you do to offend someone?
"What is your relationship with Gu Yongyan?"
"I have nothing to do with him and have never met him, but his daughter once helped me. Why, Master Qian, do you want to ask more carefully?"
"That's not necessary, as long as you have nothing to do with Gu Yongyan."
Qian Zhengqing just asked casually, not really caring, just trying not to cause trouble.
"I can redeem the Gu Qingqing you mentioned, but how can you guarantee that you won't regret it after it's done?"
"Master Qian is too worried. If I just wanted to take Gu Qingqing away, I would not come to Master Qian for help to help her get rid of her low status and become a good one. This is the reason why I asked Master Qian; you can rest assured , as long as everything is completed, I will definitely give you 1000 taels of gold with both hands. After all, I don’t want to offend a high-ranking official like you, Mr. Qian.”
Qian Zhengqing thought about it and felt it made sense.
He may not be able to do anything about this mysterious person who suddenly appeared, but Gu Qingqing is an ordinary lowly woman, and he can still handle it. As long as Gu Qingqing is in his hands, I believe this mysterious person will not use tricks.
"Okay, I can promise you, but I need a few days."
"No problem, I will prepare the gold. As long as Lord Qian keeps his promise, I guarantee that the 1000 taels of gold will be given in full."
"I hope so. If you let me know that you want to play tricks, I will never give you mercy."
"Master Qian is too worried. I'll take my leave first."
The next moment, Zhou Chen quickly disappeared from Qian Zhengqing's face like a gust of wind.
Qian Zhengqing suppressed his fear and hurriedly ran out of the door, but found no sign of Zhou Chen at all.
"Sure enough, those lawless people in the world."
Xia used martial arts to disrupt the ban. The imperial court did not have any good impression of those high-ranking and lawless Jianghu people, because many of these Jianghu people claimed to be highly skilled in martial arts and did not take the imperial court seriously. Every year, officials would die there. In the hands of those so-called chivalrous knights.
After confirming Zhou Chen's identity, Qian Zhengqing was also glad that he had not refused just now, otherwise who knows whether the other party would have gone in with a white knife and gone out with a red knife.
"1000 taels of gold is required to redeem a woman. Are all these people in the world so rich?"
He was not prepared to give up this opportunity to make money. For 1000 taels of gold, there was usually not such a good opportunity. It was just a ransom for a woman, and it didn't take much effort.
1000 taels of gold is not a small amount for anyone. Although Zhou Chen saved some money in the past three years, he spent most of it on building the Lotus Building, and the remaining money was given to Li Lianhua to buy horses. , so I didn’t have much money left.
The 100 taels of gold just given to Qian Zhengqing was not his own, but came from his heroic deeds of robbing the rich and giving to the poor.
The rich businessmen robbed the lawless people, but helped the poor themselves.
There is nothing he can do about it. He has limited time, so robbing the rich and giving to the poor is the quickest and crudest way.
As for whether I feel guilty, I'm sorry, but I really don't have any at all.
Of course, for safety reasons, he did not rob the rich and give to the poor in Dongyang County, but went to the neighboring county to do something, and he did not arrest a whole family.
100 taels of gold is easy to get, but 1000 taels of gold wine is not so easy, so after Zhou Chen left Qian Zhengqing's home, he went to another county.
But this time he no longer robbed the rich and gave to the poor, but went to the underground gambling house.
Although robbing the rich and giving to the poor makes money quickly, it is also risky. He knows that there is the Baichuan Academy in the world and the Supervision Department in the imperial court. Both of these organizations have powerful experts and are good at solving crimes.
His current martial arts skills are not weak, but they are not to the point of ignoring everything. If he commits crimes frequently and attracts the attention of these two agencies, although he is not afraid, he will still find it troublesome.
But underground gambling houses are different. Underground gambling houses are illegal places. It is easier to win money here than to rob the rich and give to the poor, because he got a god-level skill in the last world.
Nine out of ten bets!
I lose nine out of ten, but as long as I win one, I can win them all.
Relying on this skill, Zhou Chen is confident that he can win all the gambling houses in the world.
In a few days, Zhou Chen changed his appearance, visited four underground gambling houses, and won 1000 taels of gold.
Of course, this process is not very smooth. After all, it is an underground gambling house. Most underground gambling houses are unethical. Zhou Chen won so much money, which will naturally arouse the jealousy of the people in the gambling house and want to keep him. Down.
But with the help of powerful force, Zhou Chen successfully left the underground gambling house, and Knock Mountain Zhenhu also killed many people.
In this arena where fists speak, killing is common. As for Baichuan Yuan, it is Baichuan Yuan who gives face. If not, many people in the arena can ignore Baichuan Yuan.
Baichuanyuan was just an institution under the Sigu Clan in the past. It was responsible for handling Jianghu criminal cases and resolving Jianghu disputes. If Sigumen and Li Xiangyi were still there, many people in the Jianghu would give them face.
But now that Si Gumen and Li Xiangyi are gone, even if Baichuan Court relies on the imperial court, its reputation in the world has become worse. After all, people in the world are originally opposed to the court, and Baichuan Court is located between the two, and their lives are not the same. Not a good time.
At least in the past year or so, I haven't heard that Baichuan Academy has done anything big that caused a sensation in the world.
Anyway, from Zhou Chen's point of view, the setting of Baichuan Academy is very weird. The deans, such as Shiraishi and Shi Shui, are better, but the other three are just soy sauce in the plot. Like a smooth person who can get both sides of things.And their attitude towards the former sect leader Li Xiangyi can also be seen that they are not upright, affectionate and righteous people.
…………
Dongyang County!
Gu Qingqing had been redeemed by Qian Zhengqing for two days, but Zhou Chen had not shown up for these two days, which made Qian Zhengqing so anxious that he didn't even want to deal with official duties.
He didn't miss Zhou Chen, but the 1000 taels of gold that Zhou Chen mentioned.
He arranged Gu Qingqing to live in a side yard of his own in the city. He did not treat Gu Qingqing badly. Although Gu Qingqing was very beautiful, he did not have any evil intentions.
Beautiful women can be found everywhere, but 1000 taels of gold is not so easy to come across. Compared with women, gold is his pursuit.
After getting off duty, he asked his servants to drive a carriage to the side yard where Gu Qingqing was. He would go there every day to check on Gu Qingqing's safety.
Sitting on the carriage, Qian Zheng sighed quietly: "The 1000 taels of gold promised will probably not be broken."
At this moment, a familiar voice came from above.
"Don't worry, Mr. Qian, you won't miss a penny of the 1000 taels of gold."
Qian Zhengqing's expression changed drastically, followed by excitement. He raised his head and looked at the top of the carriage. The next moment, a figure came in from the side of the carriage.
"Sir Qian, I haven't seen you for a few days. How are you doing?"
Seeing Zhou Chen, Qian Zhengqing's anxious heart finally dropped, and he said with a straight face: "According to the agreement, you are late."
Zhou Chen smiled and said, "You can't blame me. I didn't expect Lord Qian to be so efficient. Didn't I raise money? Don't worry, 1000 taels of gold will be delivered to your house at night."
Qian Zhengqing suddenly couldn't control his joy: "I am also a person who keeps my promise. Gu Qingqing has been redeemed, and I have converted her low status into a good one. Now she is a good family member in Dongyang County. woman."
Zhou Chen's face straightened and he bowed his hands solemnly to Qian Zhengqing.
"Thank you, Mr. Qian."
Although Qian Zhengqing was paid to do things, Zhou Chen still recognized him for being able to handle things so well.
At least it's much better than those officials who take money but don't do anything and still want to deceive people.
And according to his investigation, although Qian Zhengqing was corrupt, he was not the kind of evil official in the fish and meat village. This was one of the reasons why he approached Qian Zhengqing.
Qian Zhengqing stroked his beard and said: "The place we are going to now is Gu Qingqing's residence. As long as I see Huang Jin, you can pick her up at any time without any trouble."
Zhou Chen thanked him here, and then the two of them sat quietly in the carriage.
After a while, Qian Zhengqing suddenly asked curiously: "Young hero, I would like to ask, how did you earn these 1000 taels of gold? Is there any good way to make money? I have some spare money. I wonder if you can take me with you?"
Zhou Chen couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. Lord Qian was quite interesting, he actually came up with this idea.
"Master Qian is joking. My way of making money is not suitable for Master Qian, because my way of making money is not very straight. Master Qian is an official of the imperial court. There is really no need to take risks to make this money."
Qian Zhengqing lost interest as soon as he heard that his origins were shady. He wanted to make some stable money but did not want to take risks.
Soon, the carriage arrived at its destination.
"Miss Gu lives there, and I have arranged two maids for her."
"Thank you, Mr. Qian. I'm sorry for bothering you."
Zhou Chen followed Qian Zhengqing into the side courtyard, and then saw Gu Qingqing leading two maids to greet him.
"Master Qian."
Zhou Chen looked at Gu Qingqing. Apart from the time he just traveled through time, he also met Gu Qingqing twice later, but those were more than a year ago.
At that time, Gu Qingqing was young, beautiful, lively and elegant, and she was a pampered innocent girl.
But at this time, Gu Qingqing was dignified and generous, with a cold face, giving people a feeling of being thousands of miles away from others. He no longer had the kindness, purity, innocence and liveliness of the past.
Qian Zhengqing nodded and said: "Miss Gu, haven't you always wanted to know who asked me to save you? I brought him here today. It is this young hero. He asked me to save you. He is the one who asked me to save you." Your savior.”
Gu Qingqing was shocked and turned to look at Zhou Chen who was standing next to Qian Zhengqing. She looked at it carefully for a while. She was very sure that she did not recognize this tall and handsome young man, but it did not hinder her. She expresses gratitude.
"Qingqing thanks my benefactor for saving me."
As he said that, he was about to kneel down and kowtow to Zhou Chen, but Zhou Chen flashed and appeared in front of Gu Qingqing, holding her arm.
"Miss Gu, there is no need to perform such a grand ceremony."
When Zhou Chen grabbed her arm, Gu Qingqing's body trembled, but thinking that Zhou Chen had saved her, she resisted and did not move.
Seeing this, Zhou Chen released his hand in time.
Qian Zhengqing said at this time: "Young hero, the thing you asked me to do has been completed. I hope you won't break your promise."
Zhou Chen replied: "Don't worry, Sir, Sir Qian will receive it tonight."
"In that case, I will leave first."
Qian Zhengqing left the courtyard without staying any longer.
As soon as Qian Zhengqing left, the atmosphere in the courtyard became a bit strange. Gu Qingqing waved the two maids to go down, leaving only her and Zhou Chen.
She saluted Zhou Chen and said, "Qing Qing can't repay the kindness of the young master for saving his life. If the young master needs anything, just give him an order and Qing Qing will do anything he can."
After staying in Jiaofangsi for several months, she has come to understand the reality clearly. She feels that Zhou Chen must have something to ask for if he can ask the county governor to redeem her.
But what does she have now that is worthy of others' attention?With this innocent body, even though she felt desperate, she had no choice.
When she entered the Jiaofang Division, she actually wanted to commit suicide, but her mother told her to live well before she died, as there would be hope in life.
Although she couldn't see any hope, she still listened to her mother's words and managed to survive.
Zhou Chen rescued her and helped her change from a lowly status to a good status. Committing herself to Zhou Chen was a hundred times better than staying in the Jiaofang Division.
When Zhou Chen heard Gu Qingqing's words, he knew she had misunderstood.
"Miss Gu, do you still remember that three years ago in Linhai County, you rewarded a little beggar with half a tael of silver?"
Zhou Chen's words stunned Gu Qingqing, and memories emerged. Not long after their family arrived in Linhai County, she took her maid to visit the county for the first time, and saw a scarred, dirty and embarrassed little beggar with a great kindness. She was so happy that she gave the little silver she had brought to the little beggar.
"You, how do you know?"
Zhou Chen smiled slightly and said: "Because I am that little beggar. That day your broken silver gave me a chance to gain a foothold, and today, I saved you from danger, so the two sides are even, you don't owe me anything."
Gu Qingqing blurted out: "Are you that little beggar? How is it possible, you, you..."
She was really shocked. The Zhou Chen in front of her was so heroic and graceful that she could not relate it to the little beggar back then.
"Even so, I just gave you a little bit of silver, but now you have helped me so much, it's completely different."
"In your opinion, it may not be equal, but in my opinion, it is fair, so Miss Gu, you don't have to think that you owe me anything, and you don't have to think about repaying me. You are free now and can do whatever you want. , don’t be so formal.”
Gu Qingqing still hadn't fully come back to her senses until she and Zhou Chen sat at the same table, because Zhou Chen's appearance was so dreamy that an unintentional move he made back then turned out to be the move that saved his own destiny.
In this dim room, the shining gold ingot was so dazzling that Qian Zhengqing's breathing became rapid.
Originally, Zhou Chen's sudden appearance made him very dissatisfied with Zhou Chen, but with the appearance of these gold ingots, his view of Zhou Chen instantly changed.
Zhou Chen had been watching Qian Zhengqing's expression, and when he saw his glowing eyes and slightly trembling hands, he knew that his goal was secure this time.
"I'm taking the liberty to come here to calm Lord Qian's panic. If Lord Qian can do me a favor, I will give you another 1000 taels of gold."
Qian Zhengqing's breath was stagnant. 1000 taels of gold. One tael of gold is equivalent to ten taels of silver. 1000 taels of gold is equivalent to 1 taels of silver.

"Who do you want to redeem?"
"The daughter of the former Linhai County Magistrate, Gu Qingqing."
"Gu Yongyan's daughter?"
Qian Zhengqing looked surprised. As the governor of Dongyang County, he certainly knew Gu Yongyan, the former county magistrate of Linhai County. Gu Yongyan was beheaded and his house ransacked before. Although it was not his order, he knew about it. At the same time, he also knew that Gu Yongyan was not real.

After staying in Jiaofangsi for several months, she has come to understand the reality clearly. She feels that Zhou Chen must have something to ask for if he can ask the county governor to redeem her.
But what does she have now that is worthy of others' attention?With this innocent body, even though she felt desperate, she had no choice.
When she entered the Jiaofang Division, she actually wanted to commit suicide, but her mother told her to live well before she died, as there would be hope in life.
Although she couldn't see any hope, she still listened to her mother's words and managed to survive.
Zhou Chen rescued her and helped her change from a lowly status to a good status. Committing herself to Zhou Chen was a hundred times better than staying in the Jiaofang Division.
When Zhou Chen heard Gu Qingqing's words, he knew she had misunderstood.
"Miss Gu, do you still remember that three years ago in Linhai County, you rewarded a little beggar with half a tael of silver?"
Zhou Chen's words stunned Gu Qingqing, and memories emerged. Not long after their family arrived in Linhai County, she took her maid to visit the county for the first time, and saw a scarred, dirty and embarrassed little beggar with a great kindness. She was so happy that she gave the little silver she had brought to the little beggar.
"You, how do you know?"
Zhou Chen smiled slightly and said: "Because I am that little beggar. That day your broken silver gave me a chance to gain a foothold, and today, I saved you from danger, so the two sides are even, you don't owe me anything."
Gu Qingqing blurted out: "Are you that little beggar? How is it possible, you, you..."
She was really shocked. The Zhou Chen in front of her was so heroic and graceful that she could not relate it to the little beggar back then.
"Even so, I just gave you a little bit of silver, but now you have helped me so much, it's completely different."
"In your opinion, it may not be equal, but in my opinion, it is fair, so Miss Gu, you don't have to think that you owe me anything, and you don't have to think about repaying me. You are free now and can do whatever you want. , don’t be so formal.”
Gu Qingqing still hadn't fully come back to her senses until she and Zhou Chen sat at the same table, because Zhou Chen's appearance was so dreamy that an unintentional move he made back then turned out to be the move that saved his own destiny.
