Chapter 279: Nine Lives (戍)

The next day, Lao Zhang actually wanted to go again, but the five or six hours of continuous full-load calculations the day before made his body a little overdrawn, and the next day he was still exhausted, and Lao Zhang dispelled the idea of going to the casino again. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info took a two-day break, replayed the last game that went wrong, and went to the underground casino again on the third day.

When he went back this time, Lao Zhang already had a certain reputation in the casino, and many people took the initiative to greet him, and when he sat down at an empty table, many people immediately surrounded him. In fact, people who often gamble believe in luck and technology the most, and luck has no regularity and is not easy to grasp. But the technology is real, of course, most gamblers, in the gambling project of Zakin flower, the so-called technology is more understood as a strong mentality, is a trick to fool each other, is the experience accumulated from countless failures. But like Lao Zhang, who gambles entirely by calculation, they have never seen it, and they don't know what Lao Zhang's path is.

Because of this, gamblers are very interested in learning, and they want to learn some old card counting methods through actual competition, and even crack the secrets. But alas, these are completely impossible to imitate, and even the basic laws are incomprehensible. But on this day, Lao Zhang's luck was not good, small probability events in the game often occurred, playing for three hours, Lao Zhang only won more than 1,000 yuan.

Lao Zhang felt that the air in the basement was too dirty, and his head began to hurt, so he simply said sorry to the gamblers at the table and got up to leave, but he still didn't notice the man with a scar on his neck in the crowd of cards.

A few days later, when Lao Zhang came to the underground casino again, he was led by the gangsters who guarded the door to the innermost big iron door, saying that their boss invited him in to talk. Lao Zhang's heart tightened, and he said that it was his own card counting that made the family see through? But the little gangster spoke very politely, even a little respectfully, but his hand tightly grasped Lao Zhang's arm, so that he couldn't break free. Lao Zhang put his heart into the iron gate, and then found that there was a hole in the iron gate.

Inside is a hall of about 200 square meters, which is divided into more than a dozen small rooms, although each small room is not large, but the decoration is extremely luxurious, comfortable sofas, classical chandeliers, mirror-like card tables, thick pure wool carpets. Each table is equipped with a well-dressed dealer, and there is a special bar on one side of the hall, on which all kinds of foreign drinks are available, and a few tired gamblers are sitting on the bar stools while sipping red wine and whispering something.

The people involved in gambling here are also different from the outside, all of them are well-dressed and extraordinary, most of them should be entrepreneurs and celebrities in the city, of course, there are a few nouveau riche with big gold chains around their necks and large jade wrenches on their fingers, but these people also speak softly, and they are not arrogant outside. Even in the private room in the corner, there are a few gorgeously dressed women with graceful temperaments, who seem to be participating in the gambling game.

Lao Zhang also found that at the end of this hall, there is a thick wooden door covered with cowhide, and most of the gamblers in this hall enter and exit through that door. Lao Zhang only swept with his eyes, and it was generally clear that there were no less than fifty gamblers in this hall, if according to what he had heard outside before, each game of the casino would take away one percent of the winners, Lao Zhang couldn't help but sigh that it would not be an exaggeration to describe this casino as a daily profit.

But what he couldn't figure out was, what did the thugs in the outside field bring him here for?

Lao Zhang was led into the innermost private room, where only one person was sitting. This person looks very ordinary, forty or fifty years old, dressed very decently, if it weren't for the long scar on his neck, it can be said that he still has some elegant taste. But the scar was half a foot long, and it was in the collar that stretched from under the cheek, and I don't know how long it was in the collar.

The key is that the scar is still very wide, like a child's little finger, turning out pink tender flesh, which looks extremely hideous. Lao Zhang wondered in his heart, how did this person survive after being stabbed like this, and how much revenge did the person who cut him have to be so ruthless. But Lao Zhang vaguely remembered at this time that the first two times he came to the casino, it seemed that this person had also appeared among the onlookers and watched for a long time.

"Teacher Zhang, I'm glad to be here, my surname is Wu, call me Wu San, I'm sorry to invite you here, please feel free to sit down. Seeing Lao Zhang come in, the man raised his head and said with a smile.

Lao Zhang was shocked again, and subconsciously blurted out, "Do you know me?"

"Teacher Zhang Jinguo, a mathematics teacher at Yucai Middle School, the head of the teaching and research group, a person without party affiliation, lives in 206, Gate 4, No. 32 Ganghua Road, right, your wife's name is Xie Caiying, and you also have a ten-year-old son, who is in the fourth grade of Qianqian Road Primary School. The man said very calmly, but Lao Zhang's back was full of cold sweat, and he couldn't help but take a step back, and his voice was a little trembling and asked, "What do you want to do?"

The man smiled faintly, made a gesture to sit down, and continued to say calmly: "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang, doing what we do, it's also a last resort, there are often troublemakers, and there are also those who don't pay off their accounts, I don't understand clearly, people have nowhere to find them, and there are people outside who borrow money every day, and they don't dare to borrow if they don't dig out the bottom, right?"

"I don't think I care if you borrowed money here, right?" Lao Zhang asked in a trembling voice, he has been in school for half his life, when has he ever encountered such a scene, his legs have already been weak and he is unstable on his feet.

"That's not true, please sit down, Mr. Zhang, you are my guest, believe me, I have no ill intentions. The man made a gesture of please again, and continued: "I invited you to come to make friends with you and have a chat, and in the other place, there are many people, and some people are in a hurry, and they dare not do anything with me, but when they go out, do you know what he will do?"

Lao Zhang chuckled in his heart, thinking that what this person said was still very reasonable, and he was dedicated to testing the probability in this gambling in practice, exercising his memory ability, and not caring about how much money he won. In the past, in a small park, no one would take a risk if they won or lost 100 yuan, but a few days ago in this underground casino, there were often thousands of people entering and leaving one night, and this red-eyed gambler couldn't do anything? Maybe it was his own creation to be able to walk home safely from the casino that day, and it seemed that he still practiced in the small park.

Thinking of this, Lao Zhang's subconscious attitude towards Wu San had changed a little, and his legs were really soft, so he did it on the sofa.

"Teacher Zhang, I should be a few years older than you, but I like to make friends, especially friends with ability. Wu San said and poured half a glass of whiskey into the glass in front of Lao Zhang, and added a few pieces of ice. "The gamblers in this VIP area, I know all of them, are people with status, background, and economic strength, these people will not take this little money so seriously, they are here for recreation, looking for excitement, making friends, you are here to play with them, there will never be any risk. Wu San picked up the wine glass in front of him, took a sip, and said slowly, but his eyes did not leave Lao Zhang's tense face.

"But you have to have the financial strength to come here, right? I'm a teacher, and that kind of income is not suitable here. Lao Zhang hurriedly answered, but what he was thinking about was how to get out of here as soon as possible.

"Teacher Zhang, what you said is good, but having money is one, I have another, we must have friendship, no friendship is just money, I'm afraid I won't stay long here, right?" Wu San still stared at this old Zhang and said.

Lao Zhang was stared at by him uncomfortably, and he didn't know how to answer, so he had to take a sip of the wine glass to hide his uneasiness, but he didn't want the foreign wine to be very strong, so he choked Lao Zhang coughed twice in a row.

"Mr. Zhang, I have been in the casino for more than ten years, what kind of gambler has not been seen, but there are almost no friends who are really worth making, I have at least more than 30 friends here, but these people I don't regard them as gamblers, they can only be regarded as friends in the society, give me some face, and I am happy when I am idle. A real gambler's friend, three years ago, he counted as a hemp stick, paid off his friends' debts, lost his own bets, and then took a knife for others, and rushed to this righteousness, and it happened in my territory again, I can't ignore it, right?"

"You probably haven't heard of Zhao Shaocheng in Handan, this is also one, a few years ago, I came to the field with a Qian, and he has a very good background, he swept away more than one million in three days, I know that he is a Qian, but his skills are not as good as others, he can't catch his handle, and his business is yellow. Zhao Shaocheng and I are friends, I heard that this happened, I smashed a million and gambled with the old Qianhao, and when he was unprepared, he caught him, and there was a mechanism for changing cards in his sleeve, which left him with a hand. ”

Lao Zhang listened to Wu San's bloody speech, and hurriedly poured the foreign wine in the cup in one gulp, and coughed twice again. Wu San didn't care about Lao Zhang's discomfort, and continued: "Teacher Zhang, I have observed you for many days, but I don't know how you count cards, I thought you had a new way to get out of the thousands, but now I think you are relying on your own talent, I don't want you to tell me this method, but I hope to make friends with you." ”

"I know that your card counting skills are actually very brain-intensive, so coming to the VIP room to be quiet will help you think. In addition, you have extraordinary ability in card counting, but you actually know very little about gambling itself, and even less about gamblers. ”

Wu San said, took out a bulging large brown paper bag from his feet, and threw it in front of Lao Zhang. "Teacher Zhang, you don't have a book, I have it here, count me as investing in your technology, if you lose it, count it as mine, win me seven and you three, how about you get a hard-earned money?"

Wu San finished speaking in one breath, no longer making a sound, just staring at Lao Zhang. Lao Zhang tried his best to find some traces of conspiracy from Wu San's words just now, but unfortunately there was nothing wrong with thinking about it, and Wu San's statement was still full of righteousness that people couldn't refuse.

(To the extreme, keep quiet.) All things work together, and I look at it. There are many things and things, and each one returns to its roots. In the final analysis, it is said to be quiet, and quiet is said to return to life. Returning to life is said to be normal, and knowing is often said to be clear. I don't know what is usual, and I act in vain. Knowing the constant tolerance, tolerance is the public, the public is the whole, the whole is the sky, the sky is the way, the road is long, and the body is invincible. --Tao Te Ching)
