In the prosperous years of Da'an, the imperial court did not prohibit gambling, the gambling industry in Anling City was developed, and there were no less than 100 gambling halls and gambling houses of all sizes, but there was a clear provision that the gambling houses in the south of the city were strictly forbidden to gamble.

Therefore, if Mr. Yi Shi wants to play two on weekdays, he can only choose a place in the north of the city.

At Jiang Huan's request, Yu Shu took her to Qianyuan Street.

There is a section of the street that runs through the capital, all of which are gambling houses and restaurants, which are very lively day and night, the key is that it is close to the two big Yi Pavilions, TOEFL and two mansion families, and there are city guards patrolling every day, and the security is very good.

As soon as Jiang Huan saw so many gambling halls open one after another, she almost didn't write the word "excited" on her face.

"Lianfang, where do you often practice styles?"

Although Yu Shu can gamble, she is not good at gambling, because she doesn't know much about these gambling houses in the capital, so she shook her head and said:

"I'm not a regular gambler, and it's the first time I've been back here."

Jiang Huan only regarded her as a new hand, raised her eyebrows, stopped asking her, looked around, and pointed to a three-story building across the street, and said:

"Then let's go to this one, the façade is wide open, and the gambling game is also big."

Yu Shu glanced in the direction of her finger, but saw a flag hanging next to the signboard at the gate of the gambling hall, and the word "Cui" was embroidered on the flag.

Is this the Cui family's gambling house?

She muttered to herself and followed Jiang Huan to the opposite side

The first floor is a place where ordinary gamblers play, and there are three religions and nine streams, and it is inevitable that there will be some miasma.

As soon as Yu Shu and Jiang Huan, two neat people, entered the door, some guys who ran the hall saw them. Seeing Yu Shu dressed up, he stepped forward.

"The two gentlemen are looking at each other, are they going to gamble on the overall situation?"

Ordinary small bets, playing dice, pai gow, double land, the lowest is no more than two copper plates, you can bet, but the gambling is easy, often participate in the bet, are bet with real money.

It is easy to gamble, and the words inside the door are also called gambling on the overall situation.

Yu Shu didn't say anything. looked at Jiang Huan. The latter shook his sleeves and swiped with a golden light:

"Sensei talking nonsense, take it upstairs."

The guy caught it quickly, and looked down to see that there was a peanut-sized golden bean in his palm. Pleasantly surprised. Hurriedly hunched his waist. He led them up the stairs.

After passing the second floor, he didn't stop, and the guy who led the way greeted the guards upstairs. Directly lead them to the upper part of the road.

The guy turned his head and introduced:

"Mr. two, our gambling hall has a total of three floors, needless to say the lower floor, this second floor is divided into two halves, half is a place for gambling and half is a place for rich men to gamble. As for the third floor, it is easy to gamble, and it is different to play every day, not a villain boasting, in our place, the people who sit in the village are the famous master Yi Shi on the Dayan list, and there will never be a matter of gambling fraud, please have fun. ”

At the foot of this capital, although Yi Shi is not expensive, but his identity is also superior, he runs to the gambling hall to preside over the gambling game, which is overkill in the eyes of people, but it is different when he changes to the gambling house with the background of the big Yi Pavilion.

Anling has 12 families, accumulated from generation to generation, where does the great family business come from - half of it is a righteous and bright Yiguan business, and half of it comes from this gambling house.

Da'an Yike, there are few who are not good at gambling, and there is even a saying - ten gambles and six easy, that is, more than half of the ten gamblers are easy to learn.

How many of them are from poor families? These people relied on fortune-telling, asking fortune and murder, making money in various ways, and then going to the gambling house to be bold, and the money flowed into the family's pocket after it reached the most.

Therefore, arranging a Mr. Yi Shi to sit in the village to preside over the gambling game in the gambling hall under the name of the family is really not something to make a fuss about.

When I went up to the third floor, there was a row of fan screens in front of me, and the east and west were swinging. In Feng Shui, it is a very particular method of attracting wealth, and the screen must be made of gold and stone, and cannot be mixed with a little wood, otherwise it will go to the wind.

The guy brought them here, pointed to the bamboo curtains behind the screens and whispered, "The two masters are here, please, the little one retreats." ”

Yu Shu took a look at the natural landscape scenes on these marble screens, and followed Jiang Huan to pull the curtain inside.

Behind the curtain of the screen, it is very different from what Yu Shu imagined:

There is no gambling table and gambling wall, there is no rain or shine table, there is a tea house on each side, the window is bright and clean, the wall is hung with ink and blue, and the red-top incense burner on the ground is smoked white, not like a place for gambling, but like a literati tea party.

There were about twenty-five or six people here, and there were still a few empty, Jiang Huan and Yu Shu chose an inconspicuous place to sit down.

Only then did Yu Shu see clearly that there was paper and ink on the tea table, several simple divination tools, a sign, an abacus, a gossip compass, and three empty cups of general size, which I didn't know what to do.

A little old man in a red coat sitting at the adjacent table looked at the two young men, held the teacup, and talked with a smile:

"The two were born just right, after a round of gambling above, the dealer went into the back and counted the chips, and it came out after a while."

Yu Shu nodded, and Jiang Huan asked with interest:

"When I first came to Baodi, I don't know how to behave, please tell me how to gamble here?"

"Hehe, it's easy to say, don't worry about the future life, this Cui family gambling house changes a gambling method every day, and it's easier to gamble today, and there is a name, it's called - guess the urn."

"What is an urn guess?"

"Seeing that there are no three cups on the table, this is the 'urn', and we are calling it the 'Ming urn'. The proposition of the last game is fruit, there are apples, pears, plums, walnuts and other 12 kinds, and the dealer has 12 'dark urns', which the guests can't see. At the beginning of the game, the dealer chooses three 'dark urns'. ”

"Guests bet, where one or two bets, you can move a 'dark urn', replace one of the three selected by the dealer, and then move each time, then add a silver tael. At the end of the day, if no one bets, you will buy and leave. Then it was up to the ability, and the guests used their own means, guessed the 'Wengdi', wrote it down on paper, and put it into the personal 'Ming urn' on the table, and did not move. ”

"After all the hands, the dealer has three 'dark urns' in his hands, and the gamblers have three 'bright urns' in his hands.

"Hit one can get a centimeter of the lottery, hit two can get a lottery, if it is three all in, tsk, that is ten percent of the lottery, not only cover the whole field, but also get the twelve 'dark urns' in the hands of the dealer, to know the way, the proposition in the dark urn, all is real money melting."

Yu Shu laughed when he heard this gambling method, this "guessing urn" is clearly a manual and simple version of the slot machine, and the bet is a probability.

The probability of each of the twelve dark urns appearing is one in twelve, and the probability of guessing all three urns in the last three urns is not even one percent.

Conversely, the probability of the banker losing money is also too small to ignore.

"Do you understand?" Jiang Huan asked Yu Shu.

"I guess I understand." Yu Shu replied half a beat slower, and silently calculated the probability in his heart.

Jiang Huan said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you don't understand, just watch me bet." ”

Yu Shu was quite surprised, she originally thought that Jiang Huan brought her to gamble on Yi because she wanted her, the Yi Master, to give an idea, why did she listen to it now, she was just an ornament.

But she didn't hear Xue Rui say that this Chunwei County Lord had also learned Yi?

Jiang Huan turned her head to talk to the little old man next door, and asked about other gambling methods in this gambling house.

At this time, a small door opened at the west end, and four boys came out of it, and then a young man with a white face, dressed in a black cloth shirt and a long veil.

"The dealer is out."

Yu Shu heard the little old man speak, turned his head to look over, and was stunned for a moment.

This man is not

There were many guests present, and the black-clothed dealer didn't notice a few new guests for a while, stood in front of a long table, and bowed his hand to everyone:

"You've been waiting for a long time, let's talk about the rules first"

Jiang Huan found that Yu Shu's face was wrong, and stabbed her across the table: "What's wrong with you?" ”

Yu Shu hesitated, leaned over half of his body, and told her in a low voice: "This dealer is a young lady of the Cui family, named Cui Xin." ”

Although Yu Shu had only seen Cui Xin at the Furong Gentlemen's Banquet, he was very impressed by this young lady of the Cui family, who claimed to be Ji Xingxuan's good sister before her death, and who was embarrassed by the county lord of Xiwen and dared to deduct a basin on her.

Oh, and her sister who owes her a slap, Cui Yun.

Is this just the narrow road of the enemy?

"Cui family, Twelve Mansions?"

"Hmm."

Jiang Huan said strangely: "Miss Shijia, why did you go to the gambling house to sit in the village." ”

Yu Shu thought in his eyes and did not speak.

Cui Xin didn't know that someone below recognized her, and after talking about the rules, she clapped her hands, and the four boys behind her put the twelve "dark urns" in the tray in her hands on the long table one by one.

"The proposition of this game is the zodiac, there are twelve golden portraits in the dark urn, each of which is four taels of real gold, our rules remain the same, if someone can bet on the three dark urns, this set of gold statues will belong to them."

One or two rotten gold, ten taels of snowflake silver, this set of objects is worth five hundred taels at least, and the pen is generous.

Yu Shu calculated, as a five-grade change official, her monthly salary was only fifty taels.

No wonder so many easy customers love to come to the gambling house, gamblers rely on thousands of luck and luck, but they have more means, dare to win a game, and they don't have to worry about eating and drinking.

"It's a bit of a doorway," Jiang Huan patted the armrest of the seat, looking eager to try.

Yu Shu admitted that she was also a little itchy, the crystal stone made a lot of money, but it was all pressed on Pei Jing's hands, and there was no withdrawal.

The big mansion in the north of the city has been repaired, but the flowers, birds, fish, stones, and feng shui furnishings are lacking, and you have to go to the courtyard to buy a few strong guards with martial arts, and there is a shortage of money anywhere!

Thinking so, she reached out and touched her waist, and the next moment, the corners of her mouth froze-

Uncle, I went out to change my clothes, and I forgot to take the money bag.

Jiang Huan didn't know that Yu Shu was entangled in his heart, staring at the dealer with two eyes and selecting three from the twelve dark urns and placing them on the table, the first one got up and walked up, threw a golden peanut into the tray in the boy's hand, and pointed to the three Weng Dao in front of him:

"Place a bet and give me all three."

At the same time, Cui Xin also saw Yu Shu sitting in the corner with a "gloomy" face. (To be continued......)
