Chapter 170: A gentleman strives for self-improvement
He forcibly held back the ecstasy in his heart, did not show it, and did not immediately shout out six six six and escort it to the leopard. Please search (product @ book ¥ net) to see the most complete! Fastest update!
It is precisely because the probability of the appearance of a leopard is too low, and he bets on the leopard later, and guesses like a trace, which is bound to arouse everyone's strong suspicion.
How can there be such a coincidence in the world, especially in the high-end game of betting millions, they can easily guess the truth, Ren is really cheating.
Therefore, betting immediately is tantamount to death, and he must first prepare for the next big prize.
Under the gaze of the others, he frowned, stared at the big dice cup, and did not speak.
The atmosphere grew dreary.
Cui couldn't hold it back, coughed dryly, and urged: "Hurry up and place a bet!" ”
When Ren Zhen heard this, he didn't look at him, but looked sideways at Ye Lao, and the different color between his eyebrows and eyes became thicker, "I have a strange feeling......
Ye Lao was stunned, not understanding his abnormal performance, and asked, "What does it feel?" ”
Ren Zhen bowed slightly, and said uncertainly: "This game seems to be ...... Is it a leopard? ”
Leopard?
Hearing this, Cui Geng and Jade Rakshasa laughed at the same time, their eyes full of irony, "Do you know what a leopard is?" Do you know how low the likelihood of a leopard appearing? ”
They looked at Ren Zhen coldly, like they were looking at an idiot.
The young and old of the Ye family were taken aback and said in disbelief: "Are you joking?" ”
Ren Zhen shook his head, his expression was still solemn, and said in a deep voice: "My father has been gambling for many years, and I have often dealt with dice since I was a child. ”
Ye Lao fell silent and did not speak.
It feels like an ethereal thing, without evidence, and many times it backfires, and it can't be counted. Betting millions of cash on a leopard is too risky and equivalent to child's play.
Ren Zhen blinked, understanding that silence meant vacillation, so he said: "Don't hide it, my subordinates are from Xiling Academy, and they have studied "Zhou Yi", so you might as well take a hexagram to confirm it." ”
Ye Lao's eyes trembled, he looked at Ren Zhen in surprise, and said in surprise: "It turned out to be a Confucian disciple, no wonder his bearing is extraordinary." Then hurry up and divination! ”
He didn't expect that Ren Zhen still had such an identity. Confucianism is like a day, and it would be great to be able to improve the relationship with them.
Cui Geng was also surprised, not knowing what to say, at this time, Ren Zhen quickly took out three copper coins and calculated the copper coin hexagram on the spot. [Note]
"The six are all yang, and this is the first hexagram of Zhou Yi, which is the sky, yuan, Heng, Li, and Zhen. Tianxingjian, a gentleman strives for self-improvement. ”
Ren Zhen's eyes narrowed slightly, stared at the copper coin, and explained: "Generally speaking, this is a sign of fame and fortune, and it is advantageous to chase and win, so it is advisable to seize the opportunity and strive for results." In short, this game of leopards should be able to bet! ”
Ye Lao heard the clouds and mountains and fog, how could he know what the six yao, seeing him talking for a long time, he looked convincing with reason and evidence, so he simply made up his mind and gambled on it.
"Good! Since you say so, let's bet on the leopard! ”
People who gamble on their lives dare to bet, and he, who gambles money, has no reason to back down.
Seeing this, Cui Geng was overjoyed, and couldn't help laughing wildly, "Idiot, since you want to die, then I will fulfill you!" This million, Lao Tzu has won! ”
As he spoke, he stretched out his left hand and prepared to open the cup.
"Wait!" Ren Zhen shouted, looked at the jade rakshasa on the side, and said: "According to the rules of the gambling house, if the gambler bets on the leopard, the dealer also has to pay a million, right?" ”
The Jade Rakshasa expression changed drastically, but he didn't expect that he, who was watching the excitement, would actually have a big deal. If a leopard really appears, the blood will pay one million, and the owner Mu Fu will skin him and cramp him, and he will not be able to resolve his hatred.
However, the rules of the gambling house are well known, and this is true, which is impossible to quibble.
"So what? The Mu family is faithful, well-known in Jinghua, and has never broken the rules, but I'm afraid that you won't have your life to take this million! ”
What was supposed to be a million gamble turned into two million in an instant. Ye Lao took the case and laughed: "As long as you can win the Cui family, I don't want the one million lost by the gambling house, I will reward you with everything!" ”
What kind of person is the Mu family, his one million is a hot potato, with Ye Lao's cunning, he doesn't want to provoke rashly, it is better to be a favor and throw it to his own subordinates.
For him, as long as he can win the Cui family, he is satisfied.
Ren Zhen was waiting for this sentence, so that the plan to lure the gambling house would save trouble and become much easier.
"Let's go!"
Cui Geng's face was full of sneers, he was determined to win, as long as he was not a leopard in this game, even if he won, how huge the victory would be, it would be a sure victory.
He raised his hand excitedly, and when he opened the dice, his eyes fell on the three dice, and he couldn't help but suddenly start, and almost fainted on the spot.
Six, six, six.
Sure enough, it was a leopard.
The most unlikely thing to happen actually happened.
Cui slumped in his seat, his pupils dilated and numb, full of despair.
He lost again, losing four games in a row, adding up to a total of 1.6 million. For the Cui family now, after losing this money, the snow is even worse, and they are really going to be finished.
The Jade Rakshasa was stunned, stunned. He has been in the gambling world for decades, and it is the first time that he has seen someone betting on a leopard in a million-dollar high-end game.
Now, the Mu family really has to lose one million.
Ren Zhen was like a spring breeze, and said with a smile: "Jade shopkeeper, I have no intention of offending your Mu family, my life is really at stake, I have to take the leopard, please forgive me." ”
Jade Rakshasa's expression froze, and at this time, what was in his mind was that he failed to control the situation, how to ask the owner for his guilt.
Ren Zhen pretended to ponder for a moment and said, "It's better to do this, you don't have to pay me a million, give me this gambling house, how about it?" As for the remaining silver taels, they are also exempted, and the right to be a villain will make amends to Mu Hou Ye and give a small gift, please be sure to smile! ”
When the Jade Rakshasa heard this, he was stunned again, wondering if he had heard it wrong.
A mere gambling house, a few gambling tables, and a house on land are worth a little money, how can it be worth a million taels? The remaining silver taels are by no means a small amount, and they are even exempted?
To be forgiving and forgiving, Ren Zhen is undoubtedly taking the initiative to give the Mu family a step, not only to achieve his own goals, but also to sell the Mu family a face, and to show that he is very knowledgeable, why not.
And most crucially, he coveted this gambling house because he planned to make a big deal with it in the future. If he wants to open a gambling house in the capital, he has to be recognized by the Mu family, so he acted in such a play.
Afterwards, if the Mu family finds fault again, it will set off them too stingy, compete with a subordinate, and have no wealthy bearing.
Ye Lao understood its hidden meaning, and couldn't help but admire: "If you lift weights lightly, you can put them away freely, I really didn't see the wrong person!" Young man, follow me well, the Ye family will not treat you badly! ”
He stood up and glanced arrogantly at Mu Ran's Cui Geng, "Mr. Cui Si, remember to send the silver two to my mansion as soon as possible." If it's too late, I'll spread the word about today all over Chang'an! ”
With that, he laughed heartily, and with great satisfaction, he turned and walked towards the door.
Seeing this, Ren Zhen said to the Jade Rakshasa: "I will bother you another day when I take over." ”
He hurriedly walked behind Ye Lao. Cui Geng hadn't left yet, and he didn't want to stay here to avoid a boring conflict.
Gu Haitang followed silently.
When he arrived at the door, Ye Lao's footsteps suddenly stopped, and he looked at the wooden sign on the counter, his eyes were sharp.
The wooden card is written about a very popular gambling game in the capital recently.
"Who will be the commander of the Pingnan army appointed by the imperial court this time?"
Ye Lao stood with his hands in his hands, thoughtful.
Ye Tianming raised his head, glanced at several popular candidates in front of him, and said with emotion: "Look at this handicap, everyone is very optimistic about the Xiahou family, I am afraid that the heat will die......"
Ren Zhen lowered his head, obviously thinking of something, and a cold murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
