55. Entering the gambling house for the first time
Tang Zhong often gambles money in a gambling house called Baifang near the Winter River, although there is a night ban in Yuliu City, but that night sheng song, the business is prosperous, and the control in the area of the Winter River where the population often flows is not very strict, even if you occasionally meet the officers and soldiers who come out to patrol the city there, as long as you quietly give a few copper plates, say a few good words, people will pretend to reprimand you in accordance with the regulations and let you go.

Several shops around the Baifang Gambling House are gambling houses, and a cloth sail is hung in front of the door, and men are constantly coming in and out, and from the door covered with a black cloth, there are bursts of noisy shouts one after another.
"Six! Six! Six! ”
"Three twos! Three twos! ”
Qu Yiying lifted the black cloth and walked in, she heard the shouting sound of beating gongs and drums, she stood in front of the black cloth, her long hair was tied up, and her face was plastered by Chu Ze, looking like an ordinary man, but at this moment she was wearing a luxurious and expensive dress, and the crane patterns on it were all woven with gold thread, showing that she was not an ordinary wealth.
Although she was well equipped, she was still a little apprehensive when she entered a gambling house with so many men for the first time. Seeing that no one was paying attention to her for the time being, she straightened her clothes and clenched the box in her hand, hinting in her heart that she was now a stout and tall man. After a while, she shook off her hand and swaggered into the group of sweaty but still selfless gamblers who were addicted to the game.
Because there were a lot of people in the house, everyone was noisy, the breath was very dull, and there was a smell of sweat on the man's body all around. Qu Yiying approached them, almost retched nauseously, stretched out his hand delicately and wanted to cover his nose, and suddenly thought that he was a man, and he couldn't be so delicate, so he stopped his movements.
After a while, the clerk in the gambling house saw Qu Yiying, who was covered in gold, and his eyes lit up, as if he saw a shining mountain of gold, and a small guy hurriedly ran over and said happily, "This son is here for the first time, right?" Don't know what you want to play? ”
Qu Yiying looked forward and saw more than a dozen people around a wooden table, next to which two men were sitting playing dice, one of whom had a scar on his head, which matched Xiao Ling's description of his father's appearance. She looked at the little girl, pointed to the scarred man, and said in a rough voice, "Who is that person?" So many people surrounded him. ”
The little maid looked at her, turned his head and smiled at her, "His name is Tang Zhong, and he has lost a lot of money recently." ”
"That's ......," Qu Yiying also smiled.
Then, in front of the little girl, she lowered her head, slowly opened the box in her hand, and slightly exposed the dazzling gold nuggets inside, and when she saw that the little girl's eyes were about to dizzy, she immediately closed it again.
She took out ten copper plates from her sleeve and handed them to the little servant, "You go and tell that Tang Zhong, I want to make a bet with him, if I win, all his money will be mine, if I lose......" She revealed her box again, "My money will naturally belong to him." ”
Hearing this, the little girl smiled, and was about to convey her words, but Qu Yiying pulled him back, and his expression was a little obscure.
When the little guy saw it, he understood it and approached him, "What does the son command?" ”
Qu Yiying whispered, "Look, I take so much money, if I wait to win, won't others be red when they see it?" And the first time I've been here, they're very likely to think I'm doing a trick, so let's still play with a sieve, but we need a middleman, and you let your boss come out and roll the dice for us to show justice. ”
When the little guy heard that he was going to let his own simple boss come forward, his face suddenly changed, and he said with some embarrassment, "I'm afraid this is not good, my boss has never interfered in the affairs between customers." ”
Qu Yiying guessed that he would say this, she smiled and persuaded, "I won't let him come out in vain, if I win later, my money will be divided with him." ”
"How?" She took out twenty copper coins from her sleeve and handed them to the servant again.
The little guy hesitated for a while, and said to Qu Yiying, "I can't guarantee it, so I can only drag the son's love to give it a try." I don't know your surname? ”
"My surname is Qu." She nodded and waved his hand for him to go.
After the little guy left, Qu Yiying stood in place, a little nervous. Chu Ze told her that all she had to do was what she had just done, and then sit face to face with Tang Zhong, just say the points casually, and he would take care of the rest.
However, she looked at the crowd of black oppressors and became even more uneasy.
Where is Chu Ze?
The little guy left the lobby and hurried to the backyard, the noise fading away. He looked at the courtyard surrounded by a group of willow trees in the distance, although his boss opened a gambling house, he was quiet and did not like to make trouble, and he had been living in a secluded house, and had not come out much.
The little girl was walking to the garden, turning towards the rows of willow trees, and suddenly saw his boss coming from the front.
"Boss." The little guy said in surprise.
The boss approached him and nodded to him, but did not speak. The little guy had something in his heart, and he didn't think about how the boss, who had always liked to be quiet, would come out today, so he hurriedly said to him, "Boss, there was a young man Qu just now, who came with a lot of gold nuggets, and said that he wanted to play dice with a regular customer here, but the first time he came, he was afraid that others would make irresponsible remarks after winning, just like asking the boss to come forward and be a middleman for him." If he wins, he will split it with you. ”
Hearing this, the boss was silent for a while, and then nodded his head to show that he agreed.
Seeing this, although he felt that it was a bit unusual for things to go so smoothly, he took Qu Yiying's money, and subconsciously hoped that things could be completed, so he followed the boss to the lobby.
He found Tang Zhong and told him about it. Tang Zhong has been squatting in the gambling house for a few days, holding his own house deed, trying to win back all the money he lost, but he still loses more and wins less, if the house deed is mortgaged into cash, he also loses almost one-tenth, and now he heard that someone wants to play with so many gold nuggets with him, and the owner of the gambling house came forward in person, so he showed excitement and immediately asked the little guy to bring people.
Qu Yiying followed the little maid to Tang Zhong and sat next to the wooden table. Tang Zhong had a scar on his forehead, looking a little hideous, a bronzed face was haggard because he hadn't slept for a few days, and he was covered with sweat, and he seemed to have a bad breath when he spoke, he looked at Qu Yiying, who exuded a rich atmosphere all over his body, opened his mouth and smiled, revealing yellowed and black teeth, "Qu Gongzi once knew me?" ”
Qu Yiying looked at him, forced himself to stop his disgust at him, and reluctantly smiled, "I don't know." But I've heard that you're putting your house deed on it, and I'm interested in your house and want to win it. ”
When the people who were standing on the side and were in the audience heard this, they all laughed loudly, and they looked Qu Yiying up and down, thinking about why this person was so arrogant.
When Tang Zhong heard this, he also laughed a few times, and then suddenly stopped laughing, staring at her with a fierce look, like a violent wolf, "What if you lose?" What will you do if I win all your gold? ”
"If I lose," she said, opening her box, which was a yellow patch that tickled people's hearts, but she slammed it shut, "and the gold is yours." ”
In fact, the gold in Qu Yiying's box can buy several sets of Tang Zhong's broken houses, and everyone can see it, and they all feel that this transaction is too cheap Tang Zhong. Tang Zhong himself knew that his heart was full of joy, and his chaotic brain became more and more chaotic, turning into a piece of paste, leaving only the dazzling gold.
"Good! Compare to compare! ”
The owner of Baifang Gambling House personally came forward to shake the dice, and there was such a big bet, all the gamblers in the gambling room stopped the gambling game in their hands and ran over to watch the two.
Qu Yiying sat upright next to the wooden table, smelling the smell of sweat around him, and his palms gradually became sweaty. She looked around from time to time, looking for Chu Ze's figure in a little anxious, but after a glance, she didn't see him.
Where did this man go?
