"The county lord laughed!" Shopkeeper Hu said embarrassedly.

"What a joke!" Li Zhiying looked at the shopkeeper Hu coldly and said: "Who doesn't know the name of the Vermilion Bird Gate, Chang'an City, don't tell me, the Vermilion Bird Gate has never done such a thing!" ”

Shopkeeper Hu didn't know what was wrong with Li Zhiying, he said that he would turn his face, he couldn't afford to provoke Li Zhiying, so he could only patiently explain: "The county lord doesn't know, if they lose in the casino, they will be removed, and no one will ask." But the problem is that they are now in the limelight, and they are crushing us, and getting rid of them at this time happens to fall for the tricks of the Qiankun gambling house. If they have three long and two short, everyone knows that this is done by Tiantong Gambling House, who would dare to gamble for money? So, you can't do anything like that! Now there's only one way, and that's to beat them out and for all at the table! ”

Lu Xiaoxian suddenly asked: "Shopkeeper Hu, is the other party like today every time, at the beginning they just won and lost each other, and it was not until a dozen or so that they gained the upper hand?" ”

"Yes, almost every time." Shopkeeper Hu recalled.

Lu Xiaoxian sighed: "Judging from the performance of the other party, he must know the cards in the hands of the shopkeeper Hu, and even how you match the cards can see through it, no wonder the shopkeeper Hu always loses more and wins less." ”

Shopkeeper Hu shook his head and said: "I also had this suspicion at first, but the cards were personally selected by me, and they were changed every day, so there could be no problem." To say that they made secret notes on the cards when they took them would not have been able to hide it from me, a casino veteran. ”

Lu Xiaoxian said bluntly: "Shopkeeper Hu, there is a special paint made of phosphorus powder, a small amount of paint on the back of the card, others can't see anything abnormal at all, only after hard training, can you see the very faint glow of phosphorus powder." ”

On the night of Lao Zhaohua's death, in the main hall of Zhongmin Temple, Fa Zheng talked about the gamble that the three of them had made for the little junior sister, and admitted that they had won Lao Zhaohua by using phosphorus powder as a secret mark. Lu Xiaoxian didn't care about it at that time, but now the blue-shirted boy is using this method.

Lu Xiaoxian has to practice his eyesight every day in Wangyun Mountain, so he can naturally see the clues.

Li Zhiying's eyes widened: "You mean that they took the opportunity to take the card and painted it on the back of the card with phosphorus powder and made a mark?" ”

"Ten of you!" Lu Xiaoxian pondered, "When the middle-aged scribe was gambling cards, he rarely looked at his own cards, but was engrossed in staring at the back of the Hu shopkeeper's cards, which explains the problem. Every time the shopkeeper Hu matched the cards, he would use a unique gesture to inform the blue-shirted boy and the other old man next to him, and the three of them made-for-tat matches for the cards of the shopkeeper Hu. Although this method does not guarantee a win, it will take advantage of the winning side, and after a long time, it will naturally win without losing. ”

"It's unlikely, isn't it?" Shopkeeper Hu didn't seem to believe it, "I've been rolling in the gambling house all my life, and my eyesight is not bad, why can't I see any marks?" ”

Lu Xiaoxian said with a smile: "This kind of god can't be practiced without twenty or thirty years of kung fu, and practicing this kind of god is usually not for gambling, but for practicing hidden weapons." If my guess is correct, the middle-aged scribe must be a rare master of hidden weapons. However, judging from the other party's methods, he is not a gambler with advanced morality, but just uses his special skills to cheat. ”

Li Zhiying suddenly said: "If that's the case, then I have a way!" ”

"Tell me about it, county lord!" Shopkeeper Hu looked at Li Chiying in surprise.

Li Zhiying said triumphantly: "It's very simple, shopkeeper Hu, you change a gambling method or a different deck of cards, isn't this okay?" ”

What Li Zhiying said was pure layman's words, and Lu Xiaoxian couldn't help but shake his head and smile when he heard it.

Li Zhiying couldn't see Lu Xiaoxian's expression the most, she glared at Lu Xiaoxian viciously: "Am I not right?" What are you laughing at? ”

Shopkeeper Hu was afraid that the two would have a stiff fight again, so he hurriedly took the initiative to explain to Li Zhiying: "County Lord, our gambling house is open for business, and guests have the right to choose any gambling equipment in the gambling house. In addition, there is no special reason why we can't change cards casually, so as not to exchange the good luck of gamblers. No gambling house dares to break this rule, otherwise it will smash its own signboard. ”

After listening to Shopkeeper Hu's explanation, Li Zhiying glanced at Lu Xiaoxian and stopped talking.

Li Nunu asked on the side: "Young Master Lu, since you can see their methods, do you already have a way to deal with them?" ”

Lu Xiaoxian thought for a while, and then said to Shopkeeper Hu: "Shopkeeper Hu, please arrange for someone to bring the deck of pai gow you used just now." ”

Shopkeeper Hu was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "Didn't Mr. Lu already think of a way to crack it?" ”

Lu Xiaoxian nodded calmly: "I probably have an idea, but I still need to verify it, although it can't be said to be foolproof, but it's better than sitting still." ”

Lu Xiaoxian's composure made the shopkeeper Hu more confident, and immediately asked people to send the deck of pai gow, he believed that Lu Xiaoxian must have a way to solve the matter.

Li Zhiying and Li Nunu looked at each other again, and it was obvious that they didn't want to miss the opportunity to watch this good show.

……

In the evening of the next day, Li Zhiying and Li Nunu came to Tiantong Gambling House early.

In Shopkeeper Hu's house, Lu Xiaoxian and Shopkeeper Hu were chatting happily.

Shopkeeper Hu was no longer as sad as yesterday, and even had a hint of joy on his face, Li Chiying knew that Lu Xiaoxian must have a way to deal with those people. Odd books

Li Zhiying couldn't wait to know what Lu Xiaoxian would do, but Lu Xiaoxian shook his head and said: "I can't say it now, if I say it, it won't work!" ”

Li Zhi stomped his feet angrily and said, "What's the big deal, you can die!" ”

Lu Xiaoxian was not in a hurry or annoyed, and said calmly: "If you want to know what's going on, just look down, if you don't want to look at the people who leave, no one will stop you!" ”

"You!" Li Zhiying's eyes were full of fire, and he was about to sneer at him, but he was persuaded by Li Nunu.

In the past, Li Zhiying would have left the casino in a fit of anger, but now it was different, she really wanted to see how Lu Xiaoxian made a surprise move to subdue those people, so she could only snort angrily.

Shopkeeper Hu couldn't help but be secretly surprised when he watched it from the side, Lu Xiaoxian actually obeyed Li Zhiying, the evil star, and really responded to that sentence: one thing descends one thing.

The blue-shirted boy, as usual, with his two companions, sat at the table with a big grin in the envious and adoring eyes of the gamblers, while the shopkeeper stood there, staring at them with a smile on his face.

Compared with a few days ago, Shopkeeper Hu is in good spirits today, and the blue-shirted boy can't help but "chuckle" in his heart.

Seeing that Shopkeeper Hu didn't mean to gamble, the blue-shirted boy was a little breathless, patted the table and said, "Shopkeeper Hu, what do you mean by this?" Do you want to refuse to gamble? ”

Shopkeeper Hu laughed and said: "This son is laughing, how can anyone refuse to gamble in a gambling house?" I just wanted to tell Childe something important! ”

"Oh?" The blue-shirted boy said with interest: "What's important, shopkeeper Hu just talk about it!" ”

"Today's gambling pai gow, this village is not made by me, but by Lu Baoguan of our fang to do the bank!" After that, Shopkeeper Hu beckoned to Lu Xiaoxian on the side and said, "Lu Baoguan, come and meet the guests!" ”

Lu Xiaoxian came to the shopkeeper Hu with a smile and made a gesture to the blue-shirted boy: "Today, I will accompany a few guest officers to have fun!" ”

The blue-shirted boy glanced at Lu Xiaoxian, knowing that it must be a helper invited by Shopkeeper Hu. He secretly thought in his heart: What can make the gambling king of Chang'an look good is not an idle person, it seems that he has to deal with it carefully!

Shopkeeper Hu continued: "Lu Baoguan is not only superb in gambling, but also knows a lot about all kinds of tricks. Hu also has a slight name, and he has always been unconvinced, but he admires Lu Baoguan. Hu said that he didn't mean anything else, but he just wanted to tell his son that if he loses later, he hopes to come to Tiantong Casino to play often, and Hu will welcome him as always! ”

After listening to the words of the shopkeeper Hu, the blue-shirted boy "chuckled" again in his heart, and secretly wondered in his heart: Could it be that the shopkeeper Hu already knows that he is out of a thousand? Supposedly impossible, right? So why did the shopkeeper say this?

Generally speaking, no matter how high the gambling skills of the bookmaker in the gambling house are, they dare not say that they are sure to win, but the shopkeeper Hu looks like a sure winner? Could it be that this Baoguan surnamed Lu is really so high in gambling skills?

Thinking of this, the blue-shirted boy looked at Lu Xiaoxian with some weakness.

Lu Xiaoxian was still smiling, no matter how he looked at it, the blue-shirted boy felt a little conspiracy, and Lu Xiaoxian's smile clearly had a fox-like cunning.

The more I look at it, the more bottomless I feel in my heart, this is a big taboo in the casino before gambling, the blue-shirted boy shook his head vigorously, tried to stabilize his mind, and said to Lu Xiaoxian: "That is the case, this son wants to be taught and understood, Lu Baoguan, please!" ”

Shopkeeper Hu kept looking at the blue-shirted boy, and the blue-shirted boy's expression changed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart.

Hearing what the blue-shirted boy said, Shopkeeper Hu nodded: "You guys play, I won't accompany you!" ”

After that, Shopkeeper Hu Shi Ran left and left the gambling table to Lu Xiaoxian.

Lu Xiaoxian stacked the cards, threw the dice, and then dealt the cards in a decent manner, and the four of them officially began to fight.

The blue-shirted boy has been very famous these days, and he is already the undefeated gambling god in the hearts of gamblers.

Just now, Shopkeeper Hu held Lu Xiaoxian so high, and decided that Lu Xiaoxian would win the blue-shirted boy if he was a banker.

There was no doubt that it was a great fight, and no one from the gamblers went to any other table to place their bets, and the table was surrounded by water.

Li Zhiying and Li Nunu were squeezed out of the circle mercilessly by squeezing out of these rough men.

When he was in a hurry, he saw the shopkeeper Hu slowly pacing over, and when he saw the embarrassment of Li Zhiying and Li Nunu, he said with a smile: "The two county lords, please come with the little one, and the little one has arranged a good place for the two to watch the battle!" ”

Hearing what Shopkeeper Hu said, Li Zhiying and Li Nunu obediently followed behind him, and Shopkeeper Hu led the two of them up to the second floor from the side stairs.

The gambling tables of Tiantong Gambling House are all set up in the hall, and the small servants, account rooms, and those dealers and treasure officials live on the second floor, and the Hu shopkeeper and senior treasure officials live in the backyard of the gambling house.
