The next thing became logical, the officers and soldiers of the patrol division who arrived took away the thief and his comrades, Shi Chongren got the lost money bag, in order to express his gratitude, he invited Xu Chong, who was brave and brave, to go to dinner, and after a little excuse, Xu Chong followed Shi Chongren into the gate of Guangjuxuan.

Shi Chongren is a stubborn master, in order to avoid the suspicion of competing for the reserve, he spent a lot of time on eating, drinking and having fun, for horseback riding and dog fighting, flowers, birds, insects and fish, drinking and tea ceremony, antiques and calligraphy and painting, gold and stone antiques, etc.

This Xu Chong specializes in this trip, and he met Shi Chongren late, from flowers, birds, insects and fish to gold and jade utensils, from the desert scenery to the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, more than an hour passed quickly. Yan Shengsen and the others who were sitting next to him were almost stupid, originally people could still live like this in this life, they were really more popular than people.

Shi Chongren sighed secretly in his heart, no wonder the master said "There must be my teacher in the threesome", there are really talents everywhere, this Xu Chong is not bad at all compared to those well-educated people sent by his father to teach him, he has learned a lot of things, and it is the most rare to have the same interests as himself, Shi Chongren even moved his heart to love talents, and wanted to recruit this Xu Chong to the palace, even if he was a guest to chat with him to relieve boredom.

"When Ren Gongzi was robbed, he came out of Jinyufang?" Xu Chong seemed to be indifferent.

Shi Chongren said with a smile: "Yes, I tried my luck in the afternoon, it was okay, I won three or five taels, thanks to Brother Xu's righteous help, otherwise He would have no food and clothing, and he couldn't afford to invite Brother Xu to dinner." Come on, Brother Xu, He will give you a drink. ”

Xu Chong raised his glass to greet him, and became more and more sure in his heart that the young master of the He family in front of him was a fat sheep, and he knew everything about the things he talked to him about fun, and he wanted to know how much these things cost. He has been in the industry since he was ten years old, and his master's words and teachings have achieved today's achievements, and this Young Master He is less than twenty years old, and his understanding of eating, drinking, and having fun is on par with himself, so he doesn't need to ask about the silver heaped up.

Putting down the cup, Xu Chong said solemnly: "Ten bets and nine cheats, He Gongzi is lucky, but it's better to go less." ”

Shi Chongren said with interest: "It seems that Brother Xu knows a lot about the thousand techniques in the casino, can you tell me about it, let He Mou have a long insight." ”

"There are too many tricks of deception in the casino, and the gambling equipment can be divided into fake dice, cutting cards, planting flowers, lighting the sun, catching bull's heads, etc., and there are many ways to lift the sedan chair, take off the boots, put chickens, etc., some people have done statistics There are twenty-four types of casino fraud, eighty-one as many as ......" Xu Chong seemed to be honest, and simply introduced several kinds of fraud skills to Shi Chongren, saying: "Small gambling pleasure, big gambling hurts the body, once you indulge in it, I am afraid it is difficult to get out, He Gongzi is still young, has a good future, and must not indulge in it." Xu Chong looked at Shi Chongren and admonished with a straight face.

Xu Chong knew in his heart that being so old as Young Master He was a self-righteous age, the more you warned him that he couldn't do it, he would have to try, not to mention that this Young Master He had won some money in the afternoon, and he didn't worry about him not being hooked up with a little effort.

Sure enough, Shi Chongren said disapprehantly: "What Brother Xu said is right, but He Mou saw someone win more than five hundred taels with ten taels of silver in the casino, which is much faster than making money in business." ”

Xu Chong was secretly happy, his face did not show the slightest, and said: "Several big casinos in Xiangxueju are quite fair, and they have invited masters to take care of the field, and no one is allowed to give out at will." ”

Shi Chongren rolled his eyes and said, "Listening to Brother Xu's words, he is familiar with the thousands of techniques in the casino, so he should be a master in the casino." ”

The fish began to bite the bait, and Xu Chong sighed: "Don't tell Master He that Xu was addicted to casinos when he was young, and almost lost his family business in ten years. However, there are many masters in the casino, and Xu has rarely been in and out of the casino in recent years, so he only brought ten taels of silver when he was itching, and he would definitely leave after two hours of winning or losing. ”

Shi Chongren filled Xu Chong with a glass of wine and said with a smile: "Brother Xu, you and I are familiar at first sight, can you open your eyes with your little brother." ”

Xu Chong drank the wine and said: "Okay, you and I are fateful, Xu will make an exception to take you around, but say it in advance, don't make a noise, see through it or not, it is a big feud of life and death to break the business of others in the casino." ”

went to Zuihualou and changed it to Zhide Fang, Xu Chong took Shi Chongren to look around in the gambling house, and pointed softly in Shi Chongren's ear, "Look at the man's nails, there is hidden oil in them, touch them on the side of the pai gow, and you will know where the card is", "He Gongzi, the table in front of you, the one on the left hand touches the ear, the person above him squints at him, it should be a group, touching the ear is a pre-agreed password, it's time to hand over the card, you see, Hu", "Look at the child, the woman next to Hu Shang should be in the same group as the man opposite." ”……

More than half an hour turned down, under the guidance of Xu Chong, Shi Chongren saw five tricks out of a thousand tricks in Zhide Fang, as expected, after seeing someone cheating, He Gongzi became more and more interested, and pulled Xu Chong off the field, throwing dice, shuanglu, leaf play, and dominoes all tried, and there were veterans on the side to point out that it was really extraordinary, and Shi Chongren received more than ten taels of silver when he came.

Xu Chong said with a smile: "He Gongzi, the most important thing in gambling is to accept it when you see it, so let's stop here today." ”

Shi Chongren was a little reluctant, and said, "It's still early, let's play for a while." Let's not just play in the lobby, go to the VIP room. ”

Walking in the lobby is the VIP room, there are a few thugs in front of him, Shi Chongren is full of style, followed by guards, those thugs know that this is a rich young master, and they didn't stop him. Inside is a small hall, the maids inside are all beautiful and moving girls, red bandeau with belly pockets, lilac short clothes are more and more lined with slender jade legs, shuttle back and forth breast waves, graceful posture, see Shi Chongren and others shake their minds, their eyes are shining. Two beautiful maids came forward with a fragrant breeze, and said with a fluttering blessing: "A few masters have an appointment, do you want to serve the slaves." ”

Xu Chong Lao Ma knew the way, waved his hand and said: "My son-in-law is just here to see and understand, and I don't need you to serve." Waiting for the maid to retreat, Xu Chong introduced: "There is a small room in the casino, which is specially used for private gambling, and the casino only produces dealers and maids, regardless of whether they win or lose, each room draws a hundred taels of silver." There are many high-rollers who will make an appointment to gamble here, and Xu heard that two years ago, a wealthy merchant in the Western Regions lost 20,000 taels of gold in one night. ”

Shi Chongren gasped, 20,000 taels of gold, 400,000 taels of silver, these gamblers are really rich. Xu Chong accompanied Shi Chongren to turn around at will, the bets on the gambling table were as light as one hundred taels, as many as thousands, and after looking at a few handfuls, it was four or five thousand taels of winning or losing, Shi Chongren felt dry and irritable, and secretly sighed in his heart that he was not as rich as these gamblers as a one-word king.

Xu Chong secretly looked at Shi Chongren's face, seeing that his cheeks were red, his eyes were shining, he knew that he was moved, and said softly: "Master He, let's go out, there are big gambles here, and it is common to win or lose ten thousand taels." ”

Shi Chongren, who was reluctant to give up, came out of Zhide Fang, and smiled with interest: "Brother Xu, thanks to your guidance, He has gained a lot of knowledge, in order to thank Brother Xu, I invited Brother Xu to Zuihualou to drink." ”

Drunk Hualou drinks flower wine, even if he fights the tea circle, it will not be less than fifty taels, Brother Xu's eyebrows jumped, this He Gongzi's gestures brought out the wealth and nobility can not be pretended, this fat sheep can not be easily let go. It seems that this He Gongzi has let down his guard against himself, but the guards around him are not at ease with him, and he can't be too tight.

Thinking of this, Xu Chong smiled and said: "Thank you Gongzi He for your kindness, Xu will go to the Western Regions in two days, and there are still some things to deal with, so don't leave it at that." ”

Shi Chongren asked: "Brother Xu is going to the Western Regions to do business, I don't know what kind of business he is doing, and He Mou's family also does some small business, maybe he can partner with Brother Xu." ”

Xu Chong said: "A small business, selling some tea and porcelain. Xu has been doing business in the Western Regions for many years, but he has met many merchants in the Western Regions, but unfortunately his capital is limited, so he can only make some hard-earned money. ”

"Brother Xu's gambling skills, why not be small and big in the casino, if you win the capital, wouldn't you have it." Shi Chongren was very on the road and told Xu Chong's intentions.

Xu Chong shook his head and said: "He Gongzi, the casino master is like a cloud, how dare Xu be a hero, in case he encounters a master who has no return, how can Xu go to see his wife and children at home, Xu really doesn't dare to gamble with his life." ”

"If Brother Xu lacks capital, He Moubo has family assets, otherwise we will partner and win a big vote, Brother Xu can also do a big business with capital, I don't know what Brother Xu wants?"

Xu Chong was a little stunned, this fat sheep was automatically sent to the door, shouldn't he be intentionally testing himself. The fifth and sixth have already crossed their bottom, and they are indeed from afar, and they only lived in Xiangxue Juyunxia Stack yesterday, and they have been messing around with him for a day, and they have not found anything abnormal. Xu Chong gritted his teeth secretly, since the fat sheep arch, then don't be polite.

I only heard Shi Chongren urging: "Brother Xu, He can trust you, so that the family always says that I don't know anything but eat, drink, and spend money, this time I will go home with the silver to see if any of them dare to say bad things about me." ”

Xu Chong said with a sad face: "Since Gongzi He can trust me, Xu Mou gave up his life to accompany the gentleman and took out the two thousand taels of silver that he was going to buy to make gambling money. ”

Shi Chongren looked like a small man, and said, "He Mou came out this time and brought six thousand taels of silver, if it is not enough." As he spoke, he took off the jade hanging from his waist, patted it on the table and said: "This piece of mutton fat jade is also worth two or three thousand taels, and I also carry some small toys with me, and I can also exchange it for four or five thousand taels, which is enough for me to play." ”

Xu Chong said: "Gongzi He can trust Xu, but Xu can't help but avoid suspicion, how to gamble where to gamble, and who to gamble with is all up to Gongzi, Xu obeys Gongzi's arrangement." ”

Shi Chongren secretly sighed in his heart, this Xu Chong seems to be selfless, but in fact, someone must be secretly monitoring him, no matter where he goes to gamble, someone will report the news, and the trap will naturally be put on his body. However, Shi Chongren didn't take Xu Chong and these people in his eyes, he had his plans.

Shi Chongren said with a smile: "It is said that there are masters in Xingyi Fang, and we will see you in front of Xingyi Fang at the end of tomorrow." ”
