Rise From the Humble

  Chapter 1370 Today is a harvest season

  Zhu Ping'an came out of the adult's room contentedly, and saw Chu Xiong, Zhang Chufeng, and Zhuo Yan in the corridor outside the door from a distance. From their concerned eyes, Zhu Ping'an understood that these three guys were betting on him again.

   This gamble lasted for more than half a month, should I, the party involved, also receive some commission?

  So, with a smile on his lips, Zhu Pingan walked straight to them and greeted them.

   "Ahem, little brother Zhu"

   "Master Zhu"

   After all, they took Zhu Ping'an as a betting target, and they couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when they saw the person coming over.

   "Hehe, congratulations, Big Brother Chu, you have won." Zhu Pingan took out the official official document of the imperial court from his arms.

"Really?! The salary has come down?!" Chu Xiong couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard the words, and seeing Zhu Ping'an's meaningful smile the next second, Chu Xiong couldn't help being embarrassed, rubbing his hands again and again, "Ah?! Cough cough, Zhu Little brother, do you know that we gambled with your military supplies, rations and salaries?"

   "Well, I've known it since your first day." Zhu Ping'an smiled and nodded.

   As a result, Chu Xiong's face turned even redder. Zhang Chufeng and Zhuo Yan were also a little embarrassed.

   "Hehe, Big Brother Chu, Master Zhang, and Master Zhuo, why are you embarrassed about this, just a little bet."

  Zhu Ping'an smiled indifferently.

"Hahaha, little brother Zhu is still sensible. Come on, let us see, um, sure enough, the imperial court has approved our yamen's application for food and pay for soldiers three days ago, and with this official document, we can go to the Ministry of Heaven and Soldiers to collect the food and pay for five Thousand taels." Hearing Zhu Ping'an's words, Chu Xiong let go of the embarrassment in his heart, couldn't help laughing, took the official document from Zhu Ping'an, unfolded it, and read it again, and then he looked like a big fat man who had won Like a goose, he said to Zhang Chufeng and Zhuo Yan.

   "It was approved so quickly?!" Zhang Chufeng and Zhuo Yan stretched their necks in disbelief.

   "Hehe, can black and white letters and red stamps still lie to you?! See for yourself, is it written like this!" Chu Xiong raised his head and laughed, and handed the official document approved by the court to Zhang Chufeng and Zhuo Yan, allowing them to watch.

  Zhang Chufeng took the official document, read it once, confirmed it again, and had to accept the fact that the food and salary had been approved.

   Zhuo Yan also read the official document and confirmed this fact, with a pained expression on his face.

   "Haha, read it, and then return the official document to little brother Zhu. Little brother Zhu still needs to use the official document to collect food and salary." Chu Xiong took the official document back with a smile and returned it to Zhu Ping'an.

"Hahahaha, I'm willing to bet and take the money. You two have beaten me so many times, and it's finally my turn to open this time." Chu Xiong laughed and stretched out his hands to Zhang Chufeng and Zhuo Yan, teasingly, "When I lost back then, I paid out the money without hesitation. You guys won't renege on your debt, will you?!"

   "What repudiation?! Fatty Chu, what are you talking about! Isn't it only a hundred taels of silver! Who would renege on the debt!"

  Gritting his teeth, Zhang Chufeng took out a 100-liang denomination bank note with body heat from his bosom, and reluctantly threw it to Chu Xiong.

   "My little baby!" Chu Xiong caught the banknote thrown by Zhang Chufeng with agility that didn't match his figure, and kissed the banknote forcefully, smiling like a sunflower with his fat face.

Although Zhuo Yan had a paralyzed face, although his flesh was hurting, he was just a person who was willing to gamble and lose, so he did not give up, but he readily took out a hundred tael silver bill and handed it to Chu Xiong, "Here, I haven't warmed up yet. "

   "Haha, brother Zhuo is more straightforward than some people." Chu Xiong took the bank note, grinning to the back of his head, "You don't have to warm the bank note, so don't regret it, brother, I will warm it up for you."

  Chu Xiong looked at the two hundred-liang denomination banknotes in his hand, his fat face was smiling like a flower, and he was indescribably happy.

   Just as he was intoxicated with himself, a hand stretched out, grabbed a bank note accurately, and took the bank note away with a whoosh.

  Who dares to steal my money? !

  Chu Xiong was in a hurry, and when he looked up, he saw Zhu Pingan, holding a bank note and smiling brightly.

"Brother Chu, I'm your gambler, equivalent to the banker, and I won the bet for you again today. It's not too much to split half of the meeting." Zhu Pingan looked at Chu Xiong with a smile, shook the bank note in his hand, and slowly Said.

   "Cough cough, cough cough, not too much, not too much." Chu Xiong said with a painful face.

   "Hehe, big brother Chu generously donated money to help the yamen soldiers prepare food and salaries, but the younger brother will be disrespectful."

  Under Chu Xiong's pained eyes, Zhu Ping'an put away the bank note with a smile on his face, and thanked him with cupped fists.

Zhu Pingan robbed Chuxiong without any burden in his heart. Firstly, Chuxiong was rich and powerful, and the money was won by him without any labor bonus; secondly, as Zhu Pingan said, he sent a letter to the Xu Shibang He won the bet, and the one hundred taels of silver was his share.

"Yes, yes, to help the soldiers prepare food and pay. I am responding to the appeal of adults in Taiwan to help Zihou." Chu Xiong nodded repeatedly after hearing this. I like this statement, then turned to look at Zhang Chufeng and Zhuo Yan, and said with a smile "Last time, adults in Taiwan called on us to help little brother Zhu with all our strength. I carried out the will of adults in Taiwan to the end, and subsidized brother Zhu's one hundred taels of silver for military preparations and rations. Hehe, brother Zhang Didn't Brother Zhuo and Brother Zhuo say anything?!"

"Fatty, you have won all my private money. I just want to say, you lend me?!" Zhang Chufeng just lost a huge sum of one hundred taels of silver, and he was in a bad mood. Asking him to sponsor Yinzi, his face turned even darker, and he gnashed his teeth and roared at Chuxiong.

   "Yes, as long as you write an IOU, I will lend you as much as you want." Chu Xiong laughed.

  Zhang Chufeng ignored him.

   "I contributed your one hundred taels of silver." Zhuo Yan said calmly with a paralyzed face.

   "Brother Zhuo, if you lose to me, it is mine, and it is my contribution." Chu Xiong corrected.

"Hmph, fat man, the wool came from me and Mr. Zhuo." Zhang Chufeng snorted, gritted his teeth and said, "You are generous to me and Mr. Zhuo, not only that, you also earn a hundred taels for yourself. "

  Speaking of this, Zhang Chufeng's eyes suddenly lit up, a flash of inspiration flashed, and he looked at Chu Xiong with a smile.

   "Why are you looking at me like this?" Chu Xiong got goosebumps when Zhang Chufeng looked at him.

   "Hey, fat man, if you really respond to the call of the adults in Taiwan, you will also sponsor Zhu Zihou with another one hundred taels of silver. Anyway, you got it for nothing." Zhang Chufeng laughed and encouraged him.

   "Good!" Zhuo Yan's paralyzed face also showed an expression, he nodded in agreement, and looked at Chu Xiong.

  "I" Chuxiong clenched the bank note in his hand, subconsciously took a step back.

   "Oh, what an embarrassment." Although Zhu Pingan said so, his eyes were staring at the other hundred-liang silver note in Chuxiong's hand without blinking, like a hungry wolf aiming at its prey.

  For a moment, three people and six eyes stared at Chu Xiong without blinking like a spotlight.

   "That's exactly what I mean."

  God knows how Chu Xiong said this sentence, and God knows how much blood dripped from his heart when he said this sentence.

   "Today is a harvest season" Zhu Ping'an came back with a full load, and on the way home, he couldn't help humming a ditty.
