Chapter 507: The big gamble and the senior paparazzi
As soon as the 10 Jin Shuwei led by Zhao Gonggong left, the masters of various factions in the hall of the Silver Book Inn couldn't help but talk about it.
"When did the Lily Novel School intend to rebel, and why haven't I heard of it?"
The head of the fishing novel school said: "The Lily novel school is just a group of weak women, and there is no reason to go against the imperial court. ”
"In any case, Lin Gillian Lin is planted this time. Li Dazui, the head of the food novel school, put down the wine jug and wiped his mouth, "Jin Shuwei's tracking technique is amazing, as long as Jin Shuwei wants to arrest people, no one has ever been able to escape, Lin Ajiao is difficult to fly this time." ”
The head of the fishing novel school, Hang Si, agreed: "The 10 Jin Shuwei brought by Zhao Gonggong just now are all first-class masters, and their skills are at least 20 years old. Among them, one of them is Sima Kong of the Sima family, a swordsmanship family, and one is Ye Feng, a master of the Divine Leg Hall, who has been famous for many years!"
The head of the food novel school added: "The most terrifying thing about Jin Shuwei is not the martial arts, but their methods. It is said that Jin Shuwei once captured many masters in the Demon Sect, and learned many secret techniques that were not passed on in the Demon Sect, and the methods were extremely cruel, and there were even people in the Demon Sect in Jin Shuwei. Open guns are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are difficult to defend. Therefore, provoke no one and don't provoke Dongchang. ”
President Wu of the tailor novel school nodded and said: "Jin Shuwei is menacing this time, Lin Ajiao estimates that she won't survive today......"
"Not necessarily! It's too early for you to jump to conclusions!"
While they were chatting, an abrupt man's voice sounded in the hall, and everyone turned their heads to see a man in a suit and leather shoes sitting in the east corner of the hall, wearing a black suit and a white tie. His hair is combed and shiny, and he looks energetic and has an extraordinary temperament.
This man in a suit is also not small, he is the head of the gambling novel school and the first gambler in the rivers and lakes known as the "gambling ghost" - Zhou Daqian.
"Master Zhou, what do you mean by that?" asked President Wu of the Tailor Novelist School.
Zhou Daqian explained: "There is no absolute in everything, as long as it has not happened, there is a turnaround. Although Jin Shuwei is a master. The tracking technique is unparalleled in the world, but Lin Ajiao's head may not be able to turn evil into good fortune. ”
The head of the fishing novel school, Ling Si, said with a smile: "Master Zhou, are you kidding? Lin Ajiao is only in her early twenties, and the skills of any Jin Shuwei are above her, how can she escape the pursuit of 10 Jin Shuwei?"
Zhou Daqian proposed: "We can't argue here, why don't we open a gambling plate for Zhou, how about we gamble together?"
"Bet?"
Hearing this, the people in the hall reacted, Zhou Daqian deserved to be the number one gambler in the gambling novel school. He never let go of the opportunity to gamble.
"Master Zhou, I don't know how you want to bet?" asked the head of the fishing novel school.
Zhou Daqian said: "I'll open a gambling market, and you can bet freely." If Ajiao is arrested by Jin Shuwei today, the odds are 1.3 to 1, and if Ajiao escaped Jin Shuwei's arrest today, the odds are 1.9 to 1. ”
Hanging Silk asked: "How do we know if the head of Lin Ajiao was arrested today?"
Zhou Daqian reminded: "The Shulin Conference is about to be held, and recently there are many paparazzi from the paparazzi in Feilong Town to make news reports. What do you think. Are you interested in taking a gamble?"
Everyone in the hall looked at each other.
"With such a good thing to make money, why don't you gamble?"
The head of the fishing novel school, Hanging Si, took the lead in expressing his position. "With Jin Shuwei's tracking technique, Lin Ajiao will not survive today. I bet 500 taels, and bet that Lin Gillian was seized today. ”
As soon as the sling silk finished speaking, Li Dazui laughed: "The head of the sling, it is too stingy to bet 500 taels." I bet 3,000 taels, and I also bet that Lin Ajiao's head was arrested today. ”
"I'm betting 800 taels. Bet Lin Gillian can't survive today. ”
"I also bet 800 taels. ”
……
After Zhou Daqian's gambling plate opened, many people in the hall made bets, almost all of them bet on Lin Ajiao to be arrested.
Seeing so many people betting, Bai Jian, the deputy hall master of the Love Hall, asked: "Wife, should we also have a good time?" ”
The black girl said, "Husband." Do you also think that it is impossible for Lin Ajiao to escape?"
Bai Jian said: "I have seen Jin Shuwei's methods, Prime Minister Guo's daughter once fell in love with me, but I didn't like her, so I used "Splitting Legs" to split her legs. As a result, Prime Minister Guo was furious, and he used his connections to make Jin Shuwei of Dongchang trouble me. At that time, my "Leg Splitting Gong" was not hot enough, and I was caught by Jin Shuwei within half a day, and there was nowhere to escape. Later, if Master hadn't come to the rescue, I am afraid that I would have died in the hands of Jin Shuwei. Lin Ajiao's skills are far inferior to mine, and the probability of her successfully escaping is almost zero. Therefore, there is no suspense in Zhou Daqian's gambling handicap. As long as Ajiao is arrested today, there will definitely be money to be made. ”
The black girl said: "After all, Lin Ajiao is a member of our decent people, and she has never done anything harmful to nature and reason over the years, and now the court suddenly accused her of attempting rebellion, there may be something wrong with this." We fell into the well at this time, and it was really unreasonable to gamble with Lin Ajiao's life. ”
Bai Jian smiled: "Wife, I like your temperament of deep understanding of righteousness, unlike other women who are petty." Come, wife, kiss one. ”
"Uh-na-"
Although the black girl and the white arrow played kissing, the other Jianghu people were not so calm, they left their seats one after another, and went to Zhou Daqian to bet, betting 200 taels for less and 5000 taels for more.
Among the hundreds of guests in the entire hall, only one person has always turned a blind eye to this gambling table, and he is sitting in the corner of a fat man - the master of the logic hall of the mystery novel school, Luo Ji.
Liu Xing held a plate of fried black beans with soybeans and walked to Luo Jitang's table: "Master Luo, your appetizers." ”
"Thank you, little brother. Luo Ji said with a smile, "There are so many people coming to the inn these days, the little second brother must be busy, right?"
"It's okay, the disciples of the Flying Knife Hall are here to help, and they are still busy for the time being!" Liu Xing asked strangely, "Hall Master Luo." Everyone is participating in Zhou Daqian's gambling game, why don't you bet on it?"
Luo Ji smiled faintly and said, "I never gamble. ”
Liu Xing asked, "Why, are you afraid of losing?"
Luo Ji shook his head: "I'm afraid of winning." ”
"Afraid of winning?" Liu Xing was puzzled, "What do you mean?"
Luo Ji explained: "If you win in gambling, people will become addicted, and the more you win, the more you want to gamble. The more you gamble, the more you want to win, and the cycle keeps on. The desire to win money will be like a black hole, bottomless, and in the long run, it will inevitably lose its mind and lose itself. In order to become a first-class mystery novelist, we must first know how to restrain our desires and emotions, so as to have the most rigorous and objective thinking ability. So. I never gambled and never fell in love. ”
Liu Xing suddenly realized, and secretly admired Luo Ji in his heart.
According to Lin Ajiao, desire-desire and emotion are the Achilles' heel of human beings, and they are also the mortal enemies of rational thinking. Purely rational people like Luo Ji seem to be developing towards a more advanced human form, and their ultimate form is a robot.
"Master Luo, since you don't gamble. Can you lend me some money?" Liu Xing said, "I'm going to gamble." After you win, I'll pay you back tomorrow. ”
Luo Ji smiled: "The little second brother seems to be also a temperamental, I don't know how much money you want to borrow?"
"Borrow as much as you want. Liu Xing said bluntly that this is a good opportunity to make money, and naturally the more the better.
Luo Ji took it out in his arms and took out a stack of silver tickets. said: "I didn't bring much money with me when I went out this time, only so much for the time being." ”
Liu Xing took the silver ticket and looked at it, and was suddenly a little dumbfounded: "100,000 taels?" Master Luo, don't you don't gamble, why do you have so much money on you?"
Luo Ji smiled: "I don't gamble money. It doesn't mean I don't have money. A person can only think with peace of mind if he has enough wealth and does not have to worry about money. Therefore, our disciples of the Speculative Fiction School have never been short of money to better focus on the spiritual realm of thinking. Even if the 100,000 taels of the second brother are used, they can be returned at any time, and I have already left them for myself. ”
Liu Xing said: "Hall Master Luo is really righteous! Don't worry, I will pay you back this money within a week at the latest!"
Luo Ji reminded: "Little second brother, gambling is risky, you have to think twice about betting." ”
Liu Xing said: "If I didn't count in my heart, it would be impossible to borrow money from you." ”
Luo Ji smiled: "Then Luo wishes the little second brother a good fortune." ”
"Thank you. ”
A moment later.
With 100,000 taels of silver tickets, Liu Xing walked to Zhou Daqian's table, at this time, most of the people in the hall had already finished betting, and more than ninety percent of the people were betting on Lin Ajiao's arrest today.
"Little second brother, what, you also want to gamble?" Zhou Daqian asked with a smile.
"Just have fun. Liu Xing asked, "What are the odds?"
Zhou Daqian introduced: "If Lin Gillian is arrested, the odds are 1.3 to 1, and if Gillian escapes, the odds are 1.9 to 1." ”
Liu Xing thought for a while and staked the 100,000 taels of silver tickets: "I bet on Lin Ajiao to successfully escape today." ”
When they saw the thick stack of silver tickets, Zhou Daqian and many people present were a little dumbfounded, although they had seen a lot of the world, but it was rare to make such a large bet.
"100,000 taels?" Zhou Daqian nodded the silver ticket, and his brows suddenly furrowed, "Little second brother, do you really bet all the 100,000 taels on Lin Ajiao to escape? ”
Liu Xing said: "I know." ”
Zhou Daqian thought that Liu Xiaoer still hadn't heard clearly, and reminded him seriously: "Second brother, 100,000 taels is not a small amount, you think about it again, if you make a mistake, you will go bankrupt." ”
"Master Zhou is right. At this time, the voice of a charming woman came, and everyone's hearts couldn't help jumping, and they all followed the prestige, only to see a Fanghua woman wearing a flower skirt walking, it was the proprietress Yin Shushu.
Walking over, Yin Shushu said to Liu Xing Education: "Little Er, the head of Zhou is opening a gambling plate in our inn, and you bet 100,000 taels in one go, which is really not very sensible." Looking at Zhou Daqian, "Master Zhou, my family is still young and doesn't know the rules very well, so I bet 100,000 taels of white indiscriminately, don't be surprised." ”
Zhou Daqian hurriedly said: "Boss Yin's words are serious. Zhou's gambling market originally did not allow bettors to repent. However, today's silver boss has a face, and you can take back the 100,000 bet of the little second brother. ”
"Master Zhou really understands the righteousness. Yin Shushu said.
Liu Xing asked: "Boss, don't bet 100,000 taels, how much do you bet?"
"Bet as much as you want. Yin Shushu's slender hand touched his wicker-like waist. took out another stack of thick silver tickets, and then gently bet on Liu Xing's 100,000 taels of silver tickets.
Seeing this, Zhou Daqian was a little confused: "Boss Yin, you ...... What do you mean by that?"
Yin Shushu said sweetly: "It's rare for Master Zhou to open a gambling plate in a small shop, how can I not win it? Xiao Er just bet 100,000 taels, which is too little." I will add another 100,000 taels of bets, and all bet that Lin Ajiao will be able to escape Jin Shuwei's arrest today. ”
"......" the crowd.
"......" Zhou Daqian's eyes have been.
100,000 taels plus 100,000 taels, isn't it 200,000 taels?
Although Zhou Daqian is a gambler, it is the first time he has encountered such a big bet. You must know that the net income of some small sects in the rivers and lakes is less than 10,000 taels a year, and 20 or 200,000 must work hard for at least 20 years.
"Little Er, don't stand here. There is still a pile of chopping wood in the backyard, and there will be steamed meat for a while. ”
"Oh. ”
"That's right, little two. After chopping wood, boil me some hot water, and I'm going to take a bath. ”
"Understood. ”
After speaking, he threw the 200,000 taels of silver tickets on the gambling table, and Liu Xing turned around and walked towards the backyard.
Yin Shushu flicked his sleeves and went upstairs to take a bath.
After the two left, Zhou Daqian, President Wu, Li Dazui, Hanging Silk and others came back to their senses.
"Master Zhou, you have hit your fortune today!" said the head of the fishing novel school, Hang Si, enviously. "Boss Yin and the second brother of the little brother bet 200,000 taels of silver in one go, this money is equivalent to giving it to you for nothing!"
President Wu agreed: "Boss Yin and the second brother are really generous. 200,000 taels were thrown out without blinking, and Master Zhou picked up a big bargain today. ”
Listening to everyone's envious words, Zhou Daqian couldn't be happy. He also felt that he had picked up a bargain, but the 200,000 taels were like hot taro, and he was not sure to hold it in his hand.
As far as Zhou Daqian knows, Yin Shushu is definitely not an ordinary person. She has a wide range of connections, and even Bai Xiaoshu is polite to her, if she offends Yin Shushu, she will inevitably cause some trouble.
If he really won 200,000 taels of silver from Yin Shushu today, Zhou Daqian really didn't know if this was a blessing or a curse......
……
Six hours later.
It's late at night. The hall of the Silver Book Inn is brightly lit and overcrowded, with hundreds of masters of the rivers and lakes gathered here, such as Zhou Daqian, White Arrow, Black Girl, Luo Ji, Hanging Silk, President Wu, and Li Dazui.
They are all waiting for news from Lin Ajiao.
It's past midnight and the outcome of the market will be revealed. Most of the hundreds of people here participated in this gambling game, made bets, and naturally wanted to know the result as soon as possible.
Everyone was drinking and chatting in the hall, waiting patiently.
Rustle!
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps, and an old man with white hair walked into the hall of the inn, wearing a black and white gossip suit and holding a silver gossip plate.
"Gou Lao is finally here!"
It turned out that this white-haired old man was a gossip old paparazzi in the paparazzi, specializing in collecting celebrity anecdotes in the rivers and lakes, named Gou Gossip, known as "Gou Lao".
The disciples of the paparazzi are divided into grades, and the grades are measured by "hexagrams", and the levels from low to high are: one hexagram paparazzi, two hexagram paparazzi, three trigram paparazzi, four trigram paparazzi, five trigram paparazzi...... And so on, the highest level is the gossip paparazzi.
The promotion of paparazzi disciples is very difficult, and the beginner disciples must pass a strict assessment and obtain the "Paparazzi Certificate" before they can become "a hexagram paparazzi".
After becoming a first-class paparazzi, you must work for at least three years, complete the corresponding paparazzi tasks, and perform well before you can be promoted to the second trigram paparazzi.
The further they upgraded, the difficulty of upgrading gradually increased, and many of the disciples of the paparazzi could not reach the level of "four trigram paparazzi" in their lives.
There is no one in a hundred disciples who can reach the five trigram paparazzi, and as for the paparazzi above the six trigrams, they are all geniuses among the paparazzi.
Over the years, there have been a total of four people in the paparazzi who have reached the level of "gossip paparazzi", and the white-haired old man in front of him is one of them.
It is precisely because of this that Gou Gossip is the most senior paparazzi in the paparazzi, and he is a veteran of the paparazzi, with a high degree of credibility, and people in the rivers and lakes call him "Gou Lao".
Top paparazzi like Gou Gossip usually don't show up easily, but recently Feilong Town is going to hold a Shulin Conference, which is a grand event in the entire Shulin Jianghu, so Gou Bagua came to Feilong Town to be responsible for relevant news reports about Shulin Jianghu.
"Gou Lao, you're finally here!"
Everyone stepped forward together, and Zhou Daqian opened his mouth and asked, "Elder Gou, how is the situation?
Gou Gossip's wrinkled old face showed a faint smile, and said: "Today's incident is really a twist and turn, more exciting and bizarre than the plot of the novel, there has been no such interesting news in the rivers and lakes for many years." ”
Hearing this, the interest of everyone present was aroused at once. Gou Gossip has been a paparazzi for so many years, and he has never seen anything, and the news that can make Gou Gossip so excited must not be an ordinary event......
