Chapter 192: Robbery
The piece of land that Qin Mo took from the minister's hand was because the minister gambled on this, and finally lost the family property and the land.
In Suizhou City, the largest gambling house is 'Mingyue Casino'.
Located in the downtown area, all kinds of people pass by the door every day, hawkers, businessmen, rich people, and some rich children.
It is said that there are countless people who come here every day to gamble.
The gambling house is quite large-scale inside and outside, two male lions with mantis at the outer entrance, stepping on the crocus, the gambling house has the second floor, and the red lanterns are hanging day and night.
The inside of the casino is divided into upper and lower and inside and outside.
The decoration inside must be quite luxurious, there are some rich boys and brothers to gamble inside, and outside, there are short-clothes workers who are all inside.
The second floor is generally a big field, and everyone who wants to go in has enough money, otherwise they can't play here.
Originally, if this Bright Moon Casino had run its casino well in the past, it would have been fine.
But recently, there was a Hu merchant from the western Xinjiang who brought a gambling method, which is no different from the traditional gambling equipment in the Central Plains, but with more suits and points.
On six sides, there are white tigers, leopards, camels, and other different animals, a total of six species. Tigers, leopards, camels, lions, rats, sheep.
Corresponding to six points, one, two, three, four, five, six.
The whole bet, the camel is the largest payout, and the following numbers correspond to the corresponding multiples.
If it's a leopard, the dealer wins.
Qin Mo only understood it after half a day after entering.
Going to Suizhou, of course, is for field investigations, where there is money, can do business, and the market is prosperous, how can Qin Mo be missing.
It's just that she doesn't have anyone around her now, just her.
A woman dressed as a man, wearing a white close-fitting robe, but no matter how hard she tried to dress up when she went out, she wanted to become a man, but the petite body, as well as the white and translucent skin on her face, always seemed to be unable to get rid of the woman's side.
But after coming here for so many days, Qin Mo was already very familiar with this place.
I came here a month ago to investigate, and she recognized all the officials in Suizhou.
Of course, the most prominent thing is this Lord Hang, who was originally a dignified senator, a subordinate of a political envoy who managed the finances and grains of a fourth-grade official of the imperial court.
But just because he was obsessed with this, he lost all his fortune, but he still refused to stop following the demon at all.
Qin Mo had bought land under him, so he naturally knew him, and he also knew Qin Mo, often this kind of person who has no control over himself, it is not a big danger to know him, Qin Mo thinks so.
"Camels. Camel.! β
"Tiger. White tiger. Turn it again. Turn.! β
A group of people surround a gaming table, which is round and has lattices on it, which are pressed separately.
Those who press a lot will naturally lose a lot, but they can't dispel the enthusiasm of these people.
"Lord Hang, how much have you won today!"
"Don't bother me, don't bother me!"
Seeing Qin Mo interfering beside him, Lord Hang, who was holding a bunch of silver tickets, was obviously repulsed.
But after screaming twice, he turned his head again.
"Ahh It turned out to be small. Brother. It's you! β
He originally saw Qin Mo, he was a little familiar, but suddenly he remembered that Qin Mo was behind the mountains of gold and silver, and he also believed it, who didn't smile when he saw a rich man, even if he was an official.
Originally, the first time I dealt with a girl, she was still heroic when she came to the house, but now, this Lord Hang takes a closer look, it is not a man's clothes.
Therefore, his little girl couldn't scream.
"Lord Hang, you're so busy!"
Qin Mo took a folding fan in his hand and said.
"Hey, hey. Hey.! β
This Hangzhou lord has a tiger's back and a bear's waist, wears a silver crown, and wears a dark robe with a bat pattern on it.
Embarrassed by Qin Mo's question, this Lord Hang was obviously having fun, and his fat arm wiped the sweat on his forehead with difficulty.
Then he looked around, and then quietly pulled Qin Mo to a corner of a room.
"Girl, you are the only one who sees me gambling here today, don't say it, if the court pursues it, my position will not be guaranteed-!"
The imperial court of this Yan State strictly forbade officials to gamble.
At that time, Qin Mo went to sell the fields in person.
When Lord Hang said this, Qin Mo saw a nervous look on his face, and he smiled first.
"My lord, can you see that Qin Mo is the kind of villain who likes to play with right and wrong secretly, when he bought the land, he promised you not to spread the word, so naturally he won't-!"
"Whew~, that's good-!" As if relieved, the middle-aged fat man turned around to return to the stage with the silver ticket in his hand.
"Girl.!"
Seeing it, he glanced at Qin Mo's outfit, and felt that the name was inappropriate.
"By the way, you said you were this big. of people. What are you doing here? β
"I'll come!" Finally asked about the matter, Qin Mo walked out of the corner and stretched.
In fact, she doesn't hate this Lord Hang, in addition to being a little stupid, she has a good temper and a soft heart.
"I'm naturally here to help Lord Hang, you-!"
Seeing that you lose like this, even the money to buy the land is only enough for three days.
Only Qin Mo didn't say the second half of the sentence.
"Help me-!"
Qin Mo walked two steps straight, winked meaninglessly at Lord Na Hang, and saw that he looked ignorant.
"Yes, look at your Suizhou City, this thing has been here for more than half a month, how many people's money has been poured into it, you look at the door, the crying father and mother, the son and daughter, how many people are ruined.!"
Qin Mo only looked towards the door, and sure enough, outside many gambling houses, crying and screaming, there were women pulling men
screaming, a woman pulled the man's shirt and called the husband, but he still couldn't stop the man from coming in.
Qin Mo looked at this, but his heart felt slightly cold.
The man stood still, resting his head on the pillar, but he only shook his head.
These people, for their own selfish desires, ignore their wives and children.
Selling wives and daughters have to gamble, which shows that gambling also kills people.
"You told me to come and see this-!"
This Lord Hang pointed to the side with his hand, not to mention that this new casino game is only popular now, as early as before, when this gambling house was opened, there was this situation from time to time outside this door, and everyone who entered this Mingyue gambling house was already surprised.
It's just that it has suddenly increased in the past half a month.
Qin Mo pursed his lips and was noncommittal to Lord Hang's words
Time is almost up on the pillar.
Talent stands up again.
"I want to tell you how you lost so much money one after another!"
"Huh?!" Lord Nahang was puzzled when he heard this.
And just for a moment, this Qin Mo took the initiative to pull up the sleeve of this Lord Hang, and then pulled him to a gambling table.
"Look at that Hu manβ!"
Qin Mo stood in the position of relying on the banker.
Pulling this Lord Hang, he pointed to the long strong and mighty Hu man sitting on the chair with a boss posture on the opposite side.
Lord Hang has always been confused by Qin Mo and can't touch the north.
"Look at the way he shakes the dice out of his handβ!"
"Huh?!" This Lord Hang still doesn't understand.
"Look, do you know what to bet on in this game!"
Although Qin Mo wanted to be more detailed, this Lord Hang had never been in contact with these things, and Qin Mo had heard that this thing was so famous in Suizhou.
She had been paying attention a long time ago.
Where is the gambling house, where is not to do tricks, this is ancient, but there are not as many cheating tools as in modern times.
These people who have experienced traditional gambling are still simple-minded, and this kind of black-box operation would not have been for Qin Mo, a head who already has the knowledge and insight of human beings in the 21st century.
She may not just see through it at a glance.
"You see that the top of his dice just now is a white tiger, and you will bet on the white tiger this time!"
White Tiger is tripled.
"What's the point?"
The people around were all in a mess, and those who were desperately shouting bets and shouting two people, the voice had long overshadowed Qin Mo's words.
What's more, her original volume was low.
The two of them only lowered their heads at the end of the table, talking privately, you and me.
"If you stake, you stake-!"
Qin Mo supported him with his elbow.
This Lord Hang didn't say much, wiped the sweat on his head, and didn't know why, he believed Qin Mo.
"White Tiger, three bets-!"
Three notes, three taels, the white tiger value of three, is to triple the amount, if you win is nine taels of silver.
Seeing that this was a lot of money pressed for the master, many people turned their eyes away.
It's just that after Lord Hang pressed the money, his sleeves kept wiping sweat.
The dice come out of a small cup and then spin on the table, spinning, jumping, and finally settling, and what is on the surface is what it is.
Sure enough, after seeing the dice running out of the small cup by themselves, the circle of people around them all had red faces and thick necks.
"Sheep. Sheep..."
"Camels. Camel... Camel...! β
"Lion. Lion....! β
Finally, under the unanimous voice of everyone, the dice finally turned a few times, from the sheep to the lion, and finally turned half a circle and bounced back, and finally faced the white tiger.
This Lord Hang's eyes have been bulging, and everyone is calling him to stare at the dice with a pair of eyes, and finally, sure enough, I saw that the dice were turned over on the table for a long time, and finally turned to the white tiger...
I couldn't believe it for a moment.
Half a second later, he suddenly reacted.
"Wow. White tiger. White tiger... Triple triply, triple times.! β
Several other people who were with Lord Hang also voted for the White Tiger, and sure enough, they were very happy here...
Lord Hang was busy picking up money.
It's just that when everyone shook their heads and bet again, this Lord Hang turned his head over again and asked Qin Mo
"What are you throwing in this game?"
Qin Mo's eyes remained motionless in the dealer's hand.
Finally, she lightly said two words.
"Camels."
"Throw a camel.!"
Sextuple! The eyes of Lord Hang were all smiling.
In one go, he put all the nine taels of silver he had just won, and added another ten taels to his pocket.
After a few moments, the dice stopped.
I only listen to someone singing on the dealer's side.
"Camel, six, camel win...!"
Lord Hang danced happily, this one made a miserable profit, nineteen taels, six times, isn't that more than a hundred taels, and the fields that were sold are coming back soon...
"What are you betting on?"
Sure enough, after this, Lord Hang was convinced of Qin Mo's supernatural powers.
"This is still a white tiger!"
"White Tiger again-?!"
Lord Hang was stunned for a moment, looked at Qin Mo, and the money he was holding in his hand was eager to try and slightly hesitant.
Sure enough, the third won again.
I don't know if this Lord Hang is too high-profile.
Every time you win, you dance.
It's just that after four or five games, winning every game, and in such a small time, Qin Mo seems to notice that something is wrong around him...
If you look closely, there are still people standing everywhere around you who are gambling money.
It seems that looking at the expressions of those people, there is nothing special or weird.
It's just that a few people were looking at Qin Mo's eyes when they turned their eyes, and they quickly turned back and turned to the gambling table.
"Let's go. No more betting! β
Didn't see it clearly
didn't notice it clearly, but Qin Mo always felt uneasy subconsciously, and there was a sense that something was wrong.
However, when she used her elbow to go to Lord Nahang, Lord Nahang was still indulged in the game and did not react at all.
I really won a few hundred taels today, but it's not a lot of money, and I'm still happy.
"Let's go!"
Qin Mo looked around in fear, and then used his elbow to disturb Lord Nahang, only to see that Lord Nahang was still staring at the dice in that field.
Qin Mo was hopeless, and suddenly turned his head...
In the flash of light, she saw a pair of long, oblique eyes, which were the eyes of a man.
Then Qin Mo didn't know anything...
After Lord Hang played another game, goodbye Qin Mo was gone.
Suspicious in his heart, the fat face secretly muttered two sentences.
"Where's this girl!?"
"No matter how you run away without saying a word...!"
It's just that Qin Mo is gone by himself, the gambling addiction is not fun, he won a lot today, and he took the money that Qin Mo helped him win, and exported some more.
In the end, I looked at the time and thought that it was too lucky, so I took the rest of the money and went home.
*
Qin Mo was hooked.
This time it was I who was too stupid and negligent.
When she didn't raise her vigilance in such a place and won money, she shouldn't have won every hand, so that others would have realized that she had seen through the scam.
Qin Mo woke up and was locked up in a dilapidated black room.
I don't know how much time has passed during this time, but when I woke up, the light from the outside that came out through the wooden panels inlaid in the wall had dimmed.
It should be evening outside, but I don't know how long it has been since I was knocked unconscious.
He should have been stunned, because Qin Mo inhaled something from his nose in an instant, and then fainted.
This dark house. Rao is still a little scared to stay here by himself alone.
Through that light, Qin Mo could see that the ground was very damp, but there was grass, and there were a few broken baskets thrown next to it.
The smell on the tip of the nose is moldy.
It's been a long time since it's been ventilated.
Is it a firewood house there, or is it a basement?! Why only the wooden planks at the height of the wall leak in the light?
And the strange thing is that Qin Mo has been awake for so long, but he just doesn't feel scared.
I didn't have my hands and feet tied.
can still move, with the help of the light, Qin Mo can see clearly that this is a small house, a few meters square, there is nothing in it, just a few broken bamboo baskets of hay.
There are two steps around the corner.
Qin Mo squinted at it, it was the door, the exit, the door was a door with very simple workmanship that seemed to be nailed together with wood.
It seems that even a slightly stronger man can split it with his hand.
But Qin Mo didn't have the strength.
Is it a firewood house? Qin Mo was puzzled in his heart
I was puzzled again, I don't know if she had ever come in during the time she was locked up.
A continuous, somewhat pungent, musty smell lingers under the snort.
Qin Mo also straightened out the reasons for his current situation.
The dealer is engaged in a dark box, and it is impossible for the gambling house not to know.
If the dealer wins, he can naturally give some to the gambling house.
Or just make a bold assumption that behind this gambling house are these people who make the bank.
However, Qin Mo suddenly felt a thrill, and suddenly felt cold on his body.
If there are these people who sit in the village behind this gambling house, but many of the people who do this bank are Hu people.
Is this Hu person and the boss a cooperative relationship or just a family.
Qin Mo was stunned, naturally because he saw through their tricks.
Afraid that this truth will be leaked, in the end, these gamblers who have lost money all year round in these places will not be able to come to the door and lift their Zhuangzi.
It's definitely not a good thing to get caught in yourself.
So, how do you figure out how to get out?
She's just a woman, she doesn't have much strength, she doesn't have a sharp weapon on her body, and her head is not extremely smart.
I'm trapped here, so what should I do in the house, Xiangxiang, Xiao Tao, and Nian'er are all girls, and some are underage, what should I do.
What if you still have three long and two short?
Qin Mo's heart suddenly became impatient.
But I can't get out here now...
She didn't know what was going on outside, even if she knocked on the door like this and rashly alarmed people, the time would come for her to suffer.
Qin Mo used this short time to think about the ten criminal laws of the ancients.
Thinking of these people again, there must be underworld forces below, will they be annoyed later, and they will directly click themselves without saying a word.
Thinking about it like this, Qin Mo was still a little afraid.
Let's just do it for now, close your eyes, pretend to be still unconscious, and wait for someone to come in and learn about the surrounding information and see the situation.
Because of thinking like this, Qin Mo pretended to be in his previous posture again, and leaned on the grass pile against the bamboo basket.
I don't know how long it was, but it was already completely dark.
At least that's what Qin Mo thought, because there was no light outside the wooden board.
Thinking about not knowing what Xiangxiang would do in the house tonight.
It's her, or blame herself for being too careless.
Helping others, but helping others but putting yourself in it.
Finally, Mo made an appointment for a while.
It seems that I heard faint footsteps outside.
Qin Mo hurriedly lowered his head to check his posture, turned his head and fell asleep again.
Yes, a little light peeked through the wooden door inside.
The footsteps grew louder and louder, accompanied by the sound of people talking.
The person who came seemed to be carrying a lamp in his hand, and the light leaked out of the wooden board, and Qin Mo sensed it through his eyelids, and his eyelashes trembled.
"We've been here a few times, and we haven't woken up yet!" β
As soon as he came in, the man came and burst into foul language
But Qin Mo closed his eyes, couldn't see the outside, couldn't see.
It's just that the light falls on the eyelids, which is really a little dazzling.
But even if the eyelashes fluttered slightly, these people might not be able to feel that she was awake and pretending.
As long as a person is not dead and still breathing, the eyelashes flutter slightly, and ordinary people can't notice it.
"This dead pig is really sleeping-!"
It seemed that a person rubbed Qin Mo's knee with his toes in disgust.
"Isn't it time to wake up? How could that amount of medicine be so heavy--! β
"Hey, hey. Got up, woke up. Wake up, dead pig, still pretending to be asleep.! β
Then another shoe tip used a lot of force and kicked Qin Mo's knee a few times.
"Maybe he's small, so the dosage is a bit heavy...!"
Qin Mo suddenly felt that the firelight was getting more and more abundant, and if she got closer, she was worried that she would not be able to hold it anymore.
"Huh. Don't say it, this little body looks really like a woman.! β
"Roll the calves. Have you ever seen a woman enter a gambling house? β
"Well, that's right!"
The other chimed in.
"Tut-tut, it's just a pity that this face is so beautiful, even if there is a little dirt on that face, just look at it carefully, it's really impatient, I really don't want to be a man...!"
Qin Mo heard that it was the person just now who was talking again
"If you like it, marry him back...! The men of the Central Plains look like the woman one by one, and they are weak and weak, so it is no wonder that they have no flesh or two! β
It seems that the person who kicked Qin Mo before is talking with a hateful tone again, disliking Qin Mo and then disliking the Central Plains man.
Wait, why does this person scold the Central Plains man, is there one of them who is a Hu person, but the Hu people also speak Chinese so well.
"When he wakes up, extract him and bring him to the door master, we have to keep an eye on him.!"
It was the man who had been speaking rudely and said sullenly.
"I know, you just look at him like this, what strength does he have, how can he escape from our place, you can rest assured...!"
It seemed to be the man who had been the other of the two people carrying the lamp.
Then the voice was gone, and a moment later, Qin Mo heard the door creak shut, and then heard the sound of iron chains outside.
It's locked...
"Ouch!" At this time, Qin Mo screamed and covered his knees that had been kicked by another man with a rough voice just now.
It really hurts, but just now, I really don't know how I couldn't hold back and didn't scream.
