Chapter 579: Hands-on
(2-in-1 Chapter)
No matter how shocked and unbelieving Cui Xin is, the current fact is that Yu Shu gambled on three dark urns and won the bank.
Whether it was something wrong with her spiritual speech technique, or Yu Shuhong's luck, Cui Xin didn't have the extra energy to think about it at this time, because what she was about to face was a loss of 63,500 taels of silver.
This amount, plus that set of jade flowers, is almost worth a whole year's income from the big gambling house, if she loses money, she will not be able to go back to confess, Mo said that her second uncle will definitely blame her, even her grandmother, who has always loved her, I am afraid she will not be able to maintain her.
The second uncle was originally very dissatisfied with her inheritance of the secret art of Lingyan, and now, there was an excuse to encourage her grandfather not to pass on the second half of Lingyanshu to her.
Thinking of the consequences of this loss, Cui Xin's mouth suddenly became dry and hoarse, and there seemed to be a fire burning in his stomach.
Yu Shu sat on the chair, looked at Cui Xin, who was no longer calm, and reminded her with a red face:
"You've checked it too, and if it's okay, pay me the money as soon as possible." According to the rules of your big gambling house, I won the bank, and you have to pay me 63,500 taels in this game, and the fraction will not be counted, oh, by the way, there is also Sima Ji's set of collections, please help me wrap it up. ”
Cui Xin calmed down, forced out a smile, and apologized to Yu Shu:
"I'm really embarrassed, our gambling house can't pay such a large amount of cash for a while, can you ask Mr. Yu for two days, I'll sort it out when I go back, and then send it to your house."
Yu Shu narrowed his eyes before he was about to speak. But someone took the lead-
"Can't make it? Hmph, aren't you joking, the big gambling house under the name of the Cui family in the Twelve Mansions can't pay a mere 60,000 taels of silver, who are you coaxing? Isn't it because we are bullied and want to delay the debt? ”
Jiang Huan sneered, in the end, she was a person in the world she had seen, and after a while, she had recovered from Yu Shu Yingzhuang's shock.
Hearing this, the blood on Cui Xin's head rushed straight up. It's only 60,000 taels. It's lightweight, that's 60,000 taels of silver, all replaced by silver bricks, can pave a yard!
On the third floor, a group of gamblers gathered and did not disperse. Head-to-ear is being crossed.
Originally, everyone lost a lot of money in this game. Disappointment to disappointment. But suddenly a person came out and won the bank, and this mood was not just jealousy-
That's 60,000 taels of silver, and I can't get it. Let's just say it!
The corners of Cui Xin's mouth were bitter, so many pairs of eyes staring, she just had the intention to delay, and she didn't dare to let people think that she, the dealer, was planning to repay the debt, so in the future, who would dare to go to their big gambling house to sell money.
"Mr. Hua misunderstood, that's the case, I can't hide it, the business of this gambling house can't be the master. 60,000 taels of silver, don't say it's our Cui family, which mansion in the capital is changed, it is impossible to get it in one go, this matter, I have to go back to report, so I can take the silver to Mr. Yu, if the two of you are not at ease, I can now set up a note and make an IOU. ”
Even if Cui Xin resented the two scourges in front of him in his heart, he couldn't show a little anger on his face.
The top priority is to coax the people away first, so that she can calm down and think about how to solve the problem of 63,000 taels of gambling money.
It's just that she thinks easily, will Yu Shu tell her to get her wish?
"According to what you say, then whoever comes to your gambling house to play next time, you don't need to bring silver, just make all the IOUs and bet."
Yu Shu lowered his head and picked at his nails, and sneered:
"Since you can't be the master, go find someone who can call the shots and tell me, I am willing to lose the bet, I can't afford to lose the bet, and what kind of gambling house do you want to open, just close the door."
These words are a little poisonous, and the smile on Cui Xin's face is about to be hung up.
Jiang Huan couldn't help laughing, looking at Yu Shu's comfortable appearance, she was not frightened by the name of the Cui family at all, and she appreciated her a little more in her heart.
Cui Xin took a deep breath, and did not fight with Yu Shu again, but turned his head to talk to the rest of the gamblers:
"You have also seen it, there was an accident today, this gamble can't be opened, it's better to stop here today, please go back first, and come back another day to play."
Those people were willing to go, but in a blink of an eye, they saw several big men in short clothes coming out of the back hall, standing in front of Cui Xin, putting on a momentum of sending off guests, all of them with thick shoulders and round waists, and they were not easy to mess with at first glance.
So, this group of people could only press the thought of watching the excitement, got up stupidly, and went downstairs step by step.
Yu Shu and Jiang Huan saw Cui Xin clearing the field, but they didn't say anything to stop it, the former looked at it coldly, and the latter smiled at the corner of his mouth, but he was not afraid, but showed some expectant eyes.
The idle people were all gone, Cui Xin asked people to guard the staircase and not allow people to come up casually, and when he turned around, he saw that the two big horse golden knives were sitting, and he only felt a splitting headache.
"What's the matter, Miss Cui, it's not soft enough, are you going to be hard?" Yu Shu joked.
Cui Xin sighed, waved his hand, and let the thugs stand farther away.
"Miss Yu, let's not talk darkly, you brought this friend to my gambling house today, and it was clear that you were going to smash the signboard, what game did you rely on to win money, you and I have a good idea in our hearts, I don't have no way to stop it, just now in that game, I have clearly backed down, otherwise, do you think you can win a penny?"
Yu Shu raised her eyebrows, listening to Cui Xin's words, why was she a little confused, what did she know what they were fighting to win money-
Hey, do you mean the citrine she's wearing?
"You are not afraid to flash your tongue when you say big things," Jiang Huan sneered, "Did you let me make that bet just now?" Why don't you let me lose if you have the ability, it's obviously because your old man has insufficient gambling money, and he can't fight for my 200,000 taels of land deeds, so he has to stop, you are so bluffing when I do? ”
Jiang Huan has the confidence not to lose, just because of the title deed she has in hand, she can ensure that the three dark urns that stay on the table are all what she wants.
Although she also relied on luck, it is very likely that she threw money to gamble on the last urn and did not guess it, and she lost all her money. But she had the courage to gamble.
A gambler who is not afraid of losing money is something that the dealer loves and hates.
Cui Xin's face turned cold: "In this case, do you dare to take off the crystal stone on your body and bet with me again?" ”
Yu Shu's hand moved.
Jiang Huan frowned and said, "Water Spirit? What are you talking about. ”
Cui Xin thought she was pretending to be stupid, so she glanced at Yu Shu mockingly, and said, "Do you dare to admit it?" ”
"What nonsense are you talking about, tell me clearly, who dares to do it and dare not admit it?" Jiang Huan pulled down her face and pressed one hand to her waist, which was a precursor to her temper.
"Isn't that clear enough. It's not that thing I'm wearing. How could you two have such good fortune. ”
"Ha Lu Ha," Jiang Huan smiled angrily, leaning back on her two long legs and sitting on the edge of the table. Hugged his arms and looked at Cui Xin:
"I'm lucky. That's innate. I'm not afraid to tell you what to say. On the day of my aunt's birthday, there was a miracle of 'Taibai Dou Day', and fortune tellers all said. I have no shortage of money to spend in my life, but even if I lie still, money has fallen from the sky into my bosom. ”
Yu Shu couldn't help but be surprised when he heard it, no wonder Jiang Huan's gambling luck was so prosperous, it turned out to be a vision of a companion, and he was blessed.
She had no doubt about Jiang Huan's words, on the one hand, she felt that she would not lie, but on the other hand, it was because she had met two people with visions before, one was Ji Xingxuan, who was "dead", and the other was Jing Chen, who was haunted by Ji Duxing.
"If you say that, will I believe it?" Cui Xin decided that they were opportunistic.
"Believe it or not," Jiang Huan waved her hand impatiently and said, "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and get the money together, we don't have time to delay you here." ”
When he met an arrogant person, Cui Xin couldn't help it, turned his head to Yu Shu, pursed his lips and said:
"I'm afraid Miss Yu doesn't know, a few days ago, someone wearing citrine came to our big gambling house to gamble - I advise Miss Yu, those things you have on hand have already attracted people's eyes, and it's not just us who loses money, if you don't stop it in time, someone will find your head sooner or later and settle accounts with you."
Yu Shu frowned, Cui Xin's words, Jiang Huan couldn't understand it, but she could hear it clearly, someone used citrine to gamble money, she hadn't thought about this before, she just didn't take it seriously.
Thinking about it now, she regretted that the price of citrine was too low.
"I don't have to worry about my business, you better hurry up and find a way to get me the 63,500 taels of silver."
Cui Xin wanted to know that Yu Shu was not worried that someone would trouble her at this time, but that she was annoyed that things were sold cheaply, and she would probably be angry with her.
"I just said, money, I can't get it out at this time, I can write you an IOU." As soon as Cui Xin mentioned the 60,000 taels of silver, he became single.
After speaking, he put pen and ink on the table, wrote down an IOU with a few strokes, bit his finger, and pressed a blood mark.
Yu Shu smiled: "Miss Cui, is this going to be a scoundrel?" ”
"What nonsense to talk about with her, take as much as you want," Jiang Huan's temper endured to the end, and as soon as she stretched out her hand, she pushed aside Cui Xin and walked to the gambling table with the silver plate.
The silver ingots and silver tickets on the top, excluding the part that were paid to Jiang Huan's gambling guests, there are as many as 20,000 or 30,000, half of which are bet by the old man, in other words, the blood of this gambling house.
Seeing Jiang Huan pick up two plates of white flowers and pour them together, she was about to pack them and take them away, and Yu Shu was almost happy when she looked at the bandits.
How could Cui Xin let her take away the capital of the gambling house, and immediately said coldly:
"Stop her!"
Several thugs obeyed the order, ran forward, surrounded Jiang Huan in the blink of an eye, and stretched out their hands to catch him.
Seeing this, Yu Shu suddenly stood up from the chair, although he heard from Xue Rui's mouth that Jiang Huan's martial arts were good, but seeing that she was surrounded by several tall men, he couldn't help but worry.
However, before those people touched the corner of Jiang Huan's clothes, they saw a silver whip drawn out of the air-
"Smack!"
Immediately afterwards, there was a scream like killing a pig, and a seven-foot-tall strong man flew out of the ground diagonally, and fell to the ground with a "bang".
"Ahh
"Dare to do it to my aunt and grandmother, I'm tired of it!"
Cui Xin's face turned pale.
Yu Shu squinted his eyes, turned around and stuffed a few silver tickets and silver pieces on the coffee table into his arms, also known as Cui Xin was unprepared, and grabbed the bloody paper.
Then, she raised her feet and walked to the long table, dodging the figure kicked away by Jiang Huan, and unbuttoning the smock on the outside of the caftan at the same time. Shake it open and spread it on the long table.
Jiang Huan concentrated on dealing with the thugs who came out of nowhere and rushed up, with a sneer on the corner of her mouth, whipping one and kicking down one.
Yu Shu held the silver plate containing gambling gold as if no one was around, stuffed the silver ingots and silver tickets into it, filled a piece of clothing, drew a tablecloth, and continued to wrap it.
Wait until Jiang Huan takes a breath. A turn back. saw Yu Shu hanging two heavy packages on his shoulders and neck, and bared his teeth at her:
"Gone!"
Jiang Huan smiled in her eyes, and pulled her backhand whip forward, startling the people who stood in the way. Make a way. Leaned sideways and let Yu Shu walk in front of her. She was cut off.
The two of them fought all the way to the exit of the hall and swaggered down to the third floor.
Cui Xin froze in place, his gaze swept over the moaning thugs on the ground. landed on the two tall backs that disappeared, and trembled with anger.
Suddenly, she jerked back and looked at the empty coffee table behind her, unable to find the IOU she had written.
Cui Xin's legs were weak, he could barely stand, he held on to the corner of the table and stood firmly, slammed his fist on the coffee table, and gritted his teeth in a deep voice:
"Yu Lianfang!"
"Ahh
Yu Shu sniffed and lifted the dead cloth bag on his shoulder.
Jiang Huan turned her head to look at her, her mouth was disdainful, but her hand stretched out: "Take it and I'll lift it, how much strength." ”
The two of them went out of the Cui's gambling house, it was dark, and there were many rare things on Qianyuan Street all day and night, and when they saw the two of them walking out of the gambling house like a robbery, passers-by just looked sideways and looked twice, and had no interest in watching.
Yu Shule's labor-saving, so she stuffed the two cloth bags in her hands, leaving only the one on her neck, taking it off, and holding it in her arms, which contained the twelve jade carved flowers, she was afraid that it would be worthless if she broke it.
"You're smart." Jiang Huan could see what she was holding at a glance.
Yu Shu smiled, and said in a brisk tone: "I didn't expect the county lord's martial arts to be so good, I see that those thugs are all practitioners, and none of them can beat your move." ”
"What's that, I've been on the battlefield to kill the enemy, shouldn't a few little minions be able to deal with it," Jiang Huan raised a pair of thick eyebrows proudly, and then frowned:
"What's the county lord's name, don't I have a name?"
"Well, it's not good to call the county lord by his name." Yu Shu is pleasing to everyone at this time, and he has earned tens of thousands of taels of silver in one hand, and he has already left behind the little festival with Jiang Huan yesterday.
"If you don't want the county lord and county lord, either call me Sister Huan, or call me Xiaozi, Hua Lan."
"Then I'll call you Hua Lan." Yu Shu is as good as a stream, isn't it just a title, Jiang Huan helped her rob such a large sum of silver, let alone a sister, it's no problem for her to call her mother.
However, since there is another choice, then she will not be wronged by herself.
Jiang Huan didn't know that she missed the only opportunity to overwhelm Yu Shu, and when she called her name, her brows suddenly relaxed.
"I can't see it, you still have two brushes hidden in your freshman, and you won this game happily today, tell me, how you got the bet, don't tell me, you are all luck."
Yu Shu scratched the tip of his nose, "I really rely on luck." ”
Then, he told her the effect of citrine in 1510, and showed her the two strings of beads on his wrists.
Because it was dark, this bead was not as beautiful as it looked in the light, so Jiang Huan just glanced at it twice, and she didn't have much interest.
"No wonder, she kept asking me what kind of water spirit she was, thinking that she was seeing me and you all the way, so she thought I was with me," Jiang Huan figured out about this matter, and then suspected another thing:
"Do you think that Miss Cui is very weird."
"What's wrong with her?"
Jiang Huan carefully recalled: "When I bet on the last game, I can't always make any effort, knowing that the dealer gave Lao Qian a hint, but she inevitably touched my mind too accurately, that feeling, as if, she knew what I would choose after the most." ”
Yu Shu's footsteps stopped, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he grabbed Jiang Huan's sleeve with one hand:
"What did you just say, say it again, the last sentence."
"Huh? Oh, I say, she seems to know my thoughts. ”
"That's right!" Yu Shu patted her head, remembered one thing, and suddenly realized, she also wondered before, how could Cui Xin be so proficient in gambling, it turned out that it was not gambling at all!
"What's right or wrong?"
There were many people on the road, Yu Shu lowered his voice and told her: "The Cui family of the Twelve Mansions, there is a secret that is not passed on, called 'Lingyan Technique', it is rumored that listening to people's voices can identify people's hearts, Cui Xin just learned this method, she must use this thaumaturgy to guess what you want to choose, so as to control the gambling game." ”
Jiang Huan was surprised: "Spirit Speech Technique? And this thing? ”
After all, the Northeast is no better than the capital where hundreds of schools of change are gathered, Jiang Huan has never heard of it, and it is not strange.
"Eh, no, if she can know what the Daoist people are thinking, and thinks that you and I are wearing that crystal, then it doesn't make sense that she only guesses mine, not yours, why did she call you all hit?"
Knowing the existence of Lingyan Technique, Jiang Huan is not difficult to be sure that in the last game, Cui Xin guessed her mind, so Lao Qian came out to lure her to make a heavy bet.
If Cui Xin also guessed Yu Shu's three, as a dealer, she knew what was in each dark urn, then she would definitely not let Yu Shu win the bet.
Obviously, Cui Xin didn't guess Yu Shu's thoughts, so he suffered such a big loss.
Jiang Huan found out what the problem was and wondered.
"Or is it that her spiritual speech skills work with me, but when she comes to you, it won't work."
Yu Shu's eyes flashed with doubt, and he shook his head: "Maybe she didn't learn her skills and made a mistake." ”
said this, but she remembered clearly that day at the Furong Gentlemen's Banquet, Cui Xin used her to test the spiritual speech technique, and she guessed accurately, obviously she was spiritual.
Today, why doesn't it work?
Strange, really weird. (To be continued......)
