Chapter 81: The Mysterious Gamble
After Wen Xuan swaggered into his seat, he slowly withdrew his gaze at Qiu Si, pretending to be curious and asked the gambling prostitute, "Who is that scarface?" Looks like you're all scared of him? ”
The gambling prostitute smiled dumbly, the one in front of her seemed to be really new to Hangzhou City, and she didn't even know a character like Qiu Siye, but because Wen Xuan insisted on asking, the gambling prostitute had to explain simply.
The calm and relaxed Scarface is indeed the Qiu Si that Wen Xuan is looking for, and the Yongchang Gambling House is the largest place to collect money in his hands.
In the early years, Qiu Si led his brothers to forcibly monopolize several shady industries in Hangzhou, and thus became famous.
In the city of Hangzhou, whether it is an idle ruffian or a government soldier patrolling the streets, they will inevitably bow their heads and shout "Fourth Master" when they see it.
Wen Xuan fell into deep thought after hearing this, according to what the gambling prostitute said, Qiu Si used his true identity to make a name for himself in Hangzhou City, not only could he not find the slightest shadow of Mingjiao on his body, but he had frequent contacts with the government.
In this way, he will not be able to clear away the suspicion of betraying Mingjiao...... After all, his current reputation and status in Hangzhou cannot be given to him by Mingjiao, on the contrary, as long as he colludes with the Yuan court to be the eagle dog of the imperial court, then he can stabilize his status in the rivers and lakes.
"Childe, are we still playing dice?" The prostitute cautiously tested.
Wen Xuan came back to his senses and looked at the gambling table, looking at the gamblers sitting around the table.
After all, the gambling house is a place where you can't see the light, so whether it is a gentleman or a gentleman, you will inevitably have to change into a gorgeous dress when you enter here, so as not to be recognized.
In this way, the gambler, who is also dressed as a common person like Wen Xuan, is particularly eye-catching.
This man is not tall, dark-skinned, pockmarked face, only a pair of eyes are bright, while putting on a posture on the gambling table to swallow mountains and rivers and placing bets again and again, while taking off his shabby black hat to fan himself, and the gambling prostitutes accompanying him are arranged by him to serve tea one after another behind him.
"One hundred taels! Big! Mazi's eyes stared straight at the dice cup, and she slapped the table and shouted.
"A hundred taels? Guest, we are betting on the gambling table, you have to think about it, what if it ......" The dealer squinted his eyes slightly, pointed to the hundred taels of silver on the table and confirmed.
One hundred taels is not a small amount after all, and it immediately attracted the attention of most of the people in the house, and they raised themselves to the neighborhood to watch the excitement.
"It's only a hundred taels, is it possible that Yongchang Gambling House doesn't dare to take it?" Mazi asked with contempt on her face.
The dealer frowned, turned his head slightly to take a look, and saw that Qiu Si, who was still as immobile as a mountain, still looked indifferent, and then slowly opened the dice cup.
"Great! It's really big! It's amazing! A gentleman on the right hand side of the pockmarked face praised loudly, since he found out that this person was lucky, he called again and again, and he had won dozens of taels of silver in the past half an hour, and the pockmarked face had gained a lot.
The dealer who rolls the dice is a veteran who has been in the gambling house for many years, and the three dice in the dice cup are ninety percent sure of him shaking the points he wants, otherwise he would not dare to open such a big plate, but this new pockmarked face can guess nine rounds in a row, which is really a bit incredible...... Is there really anyone who is so lucky?
"This is two hundred taels of silver, you have taken it." The dealer took out a hundred taels of silver bills and handed them back with a bet with a pockmarked face.
"There's no hurry." Mazi smiled with a straight face, pushed back the two hundred taels of silver bills, pointed to the gambling table and said, "I haven't played enough, this time I'll play three hundred taels." ”
When the pockmarked face spoke, it was an understatement, but it was deafening to be heard by others, this is a full three hundred taels of silver, if it is placed on the ordinary ground, you can open a small gambling house, what is the origin of this person?
"Pick it up!"
"That's it! When will Yongchang Gambling House still have jobs that you dare not take? ”
A group of gamblers didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, and they all followed suit, and the attention of the whole room was here at the moment, and even more simply moved the chairs over, ready to watch this good show.
"Can't you see that the fourth master is still here? What are you fooling about? The middle-aged man in charge of the inner courtyard glared at everyone and scolded everyone, and then said to the dealer in a deep voice: "I'll come." ”
"Yo, even Li Liuzhi went out in person, I didn't expect to see such a lively scene today!" An old customer of Yongchang Gambling House took a sip of tea and said with high interest.
Everyone looked at it, and this middle-aged man was really as good as his name, with six fingers on his outstretched right hand!
After Li Liuzhi rolled up his sleeves, he stretched six fingers towards the dice cup, and his little finger and sixth finger dragged the bottom of the cup steadily, and the other four fingers held the cup tightly, shaking it up fast and slow, and the sound of the dice hitting the dice cup seemed to be playing a crisp and melodious music.
After hearing the sound of Li Liuzhi shaking the dice cup himself, Qiu Si finally opened his eyes, and he was able to let his deputy go out in person, which was enough to see how clever the "" immortals came all the way in the gambling house today.
There was still a look of disdain between the pockmarked face and Qiu Si's eyes, as if he was provoking.
After Li Liuzhi completed the whole set of movements in one go, he pressed the dice cup back on the table cleanly.
"This lord, I don't know which one you are betting on this time?" Li Liuzhi asked with a chuckle, but the six fingers never left the dice cup, apparently wanting to wait for the hemp face to bet immediately after the bet.
From some ordinary means of injecting mercury into the dice, to the simple trick of gambling prostitutes and dealers partnering with thousands of dollars, it can be said that there are countless means in this Yongchang gambling house, and this Li Liuzhi dares to stand up and take the blockage of the three hundred taels of silver bills, presumably he must have the ability to be invincible.
Mazi smacked mercilessly: "I thought you were so powerful, you didn't even understand the rules of the gambling table, and you dare to claim to be the gambling saint of Hangzhou City?" ”
The intention was very simple, let Li Liuzhi leave his hand from the dice cup one by one, so as to prevent him from playing some dishonorable tricks.
Li Liuzhi's face gradually became solemn, if it was in normal times, he couldn't ask for such a big deal, but he couldn't see through how this pockmarked face, who always had a bad smile, could guess the correct points every time.
After Li Liuzhi's fingers left the dice cup, Mazi's face began to touch his chin and think, looking mysterious.
"Which side are you betting on?" Li Liuzhi urged, and this time even Qiu Si slowly opened his eyes, and looked towards this side with a fine light.
