Wang Junlin got up and led the people out of the cabin, and stood on the deck and looked out, and saw the outline of the city wall, and the number of houses among the trees on both sides of the bank had increased greatly, not like the previous scattered.

After watching it for a while, several people went to the cabin hall for breakfast.

After chatting a few words, Luo Guishou glanced at Nie Xiaoyu and talked about gambling again, this time he said pai gow: "There is a taboo in the casino, that is, there is no number of 'eleven', and it is not allowed to say eleven, because in pai gow, eleven points composed of two cards, 'Mo five' and 'Mo six', are almost bound to lose." There is also 'ten', because ten is the smallest in pai gow, and the curse 'turtle ten' comes from this card. 'Two boards six' is also a curse, because the second board is four points, and the six is just ten points. ”

Wang Junlin smiled: "It's a little interesting. ”

Luo Ghost said triumphantly in an exaggerated tone: "The key to Pai Gow is the four-character mantra of 'kill everything', which hurts the most feelings. ”

At this time, the hull of the ship trembled slightly, slowly slowed down, and moored to the left bank.

Luo Guishou praised: "The Fenhe Gang's boat skills are indeed a must, no wonder there have been many shipwrecks on the Fenhe River boats over the years, but they have never happened to them." ”

It didn't take long for the boat to finally stop at the pier.

The boss of the boat specially ran and said: "Everyone, the ship will rest in Gujiao City for one night, and tomorrow when the Buddha dawns, you can go to Gujiao City to visit." ”

"Thank you, Boss Du." Wang Junlin stood up and thanked him.

After the boat boss left, Luo Ghost Hand suddenly said: "The scale of Gujiao City is not small, and there is also a branch of Taiyuan Gambling House, so it is better for us to win some capital first, so as to prepare for a big gamble in Taiyuan City." ”

Wang Junlin glanced at Nie Xiaoyu, didn't know what came to mind, and said with a smile: "It's okay." ”

The captain of the ship personally opened the joints of the city gate and issued a temporary pass to Wang Junlin and his party to pay taxes and enter the city.

Walking on the busy road, Wang Junlin felt like he was back in the mortal world, and this journey of the Fen River made him unforgettable.

In less than ten steps, Wang Junlin suddenly had an indescribable strange feeling, like pouring down to the top of ice water, and his body was cold soaked, he suddenly felt a sense, and looked at the shop on the right, but he didn't see anything.

……

……

In fact, in the territory of Bingzhou, all the gambling houses named after the city are the branches of the Taiyuan gambling houses, which are the industries of the Taiyuan Wang family.

Gujiao Gambling House is located in the most prosperous business district in Gujiao City, the scale is large, the main building group is in the central axis of the five wooden buildings, with corridors through, the corridor on both sides is a pool of stone mountains, flowers and plants potted plants, in addition there are more than 10 smaller types of houses and courtyards, the stars and the moon set off the five main halls in the center, surrounded by high walls.

At this time, the whole gambling house is as bright as a white painting, the exterior wall facing the main street is full of colorful lights, and there is a long queue of cars and horses at the entrance, slowly entering. The nearby streets were crowded with people, some just to see the excitement, and some were not allowed to enter because they did not have the money to pay the entrance fee to the gambling club.

Wang Junlin saw the lively scene outside the door from a distance, and was shocked, and the former was touched: "The casinos he has seen in Macau in later generations are nothing more than this." ”

Under the leadership of Luo Ghost's hands, Wang Junlin led Nie Xiaoyu and the old slave of the Spring and Autumn Period to the entrance of the Gujiao Gambling House. Xiao Feng'er and Zheng Shengqiu stayed on the boat.

"I remember that there was no so-called entrance fee in the gambling houses in the capital." Wang Junlin said with some surprise.

The cost of admission is actually a gambling tax drawn to the local government, and it is obvious that because the imperial army is pressing the border, it is always in need of property everywhere, and the ways of collecting taxes from local governance are even more varied.

The entrance tax of the Gujiao gambling house is directly collected by the gambling officials stationed by the government, and then transferred to the government treasury, without going through the casino.

Since the Warring States Period, gambling has been a law prohibiting gambling because it is a serious disaster, often bankrupting people, and leading to various evils that disrupt social order and morals. The first emperor ruled the world, and Li Si formulated a law prohibiting gambling, ranging from "stabbing whale pattern face" to "tarting his shares". The Han Dynasty also continued to ban gambling.

To the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the rise of the scholars, the law was relaxed, although there were provisions for the prohibition of the law, but it existed in name only.

Now in the Sui Dynasty, officials and profiteers have joined forces to make a fortune.

Originally, in history, after the Sui Dynasty was extinguished, this trend intensified, and the local governments were happy to increase their incomes, and it became a situation of cooperation between officials and businessmen like the ancient gambling houses.

The group paid the entrance tax and entered the casino.

Ancient betting

Fang is worthy of the most prestigious casino in ancient times, the furnishings are gorgeous and exquisite, the hall is connected by a corridor, and there are all kinds of gambling equipment, and there is also a VIP room for people with special status to enjoy.

At this moment, there are three or four hundred gamblers gathered in each lobby, but they do not feel crowded and stuffy at all, under the bright lights, most of them are men, although the female guests account for a minority, but they are all very beautiful, and some gamble more fiercely than men.

What is especially springy is the waitress who shuttles back and forth in the gambling hall, all of them are beautiful women with young and jade appearance, and their breasts are half exposed, and their jade arms are varied, sexy and charming.

Wang Junlin is not good at betting, after patrolling, the most familiar is only domino solitaire, dice. There are three kinds of gambling games in Bao, Fantan.

Wang Junlin and his entourage followed Luo Ghost to the second hall where there were nearly 100 people gambling stalls, and the host was a half-old full of wind and dust, and her skills were skillful.

Fan stall is also known as the money or cover money, the game is played by the casino side of the person as the banker, when gambling the dealer grabs a handful of short bamboo chips to make a "stall", with a bowl quickly covered, make people difficult to know the number, wait for people to bet, and then open the stall to determine the winner or loser. The algorithm is to take away the four numbers of the stall, and the remainder into four-door one, two, three, and four. Bet on one door is one to pay three, called "fan", bet on two doors in one is one to one, called "corner".

When the four of them came, the stall was open three times in a row, and the anger was boiling and the sky was shaking. Many people who should usually be sanctimonious have become gnash their teeth, clench their fists and wave their palms, shouting at the stalls they bought, as if the louder they scream, the more they can affect the number of stalls.

Luo Ghost leaned into Wang Junlin's ear and whispered: "This woman is a pickpocket, one of the four heroes of the ancient Jiaocheng gambling forest, and her skills are still good." ”

Wang Junlin was surprised: "Does the trick you are talking about refer to deception, on the surface, this gambling method is difficult to fool!" ”

Luo Ghost said: "Ten gambles and nine cheats, anything can deceive people." There are two kinds of the most common fan scams: 'falling plants' and 'flying seeds'. The falling plant is done in the stall, and the stall can be divided into two if necessary; Feizi flies the stall away by hand. Either way, there are accomplices who 'pry' the edges, using smoke or other methods to attract the attention of the deceived person, so that the host can perform the trick. Big casinos like Gujiao Gambling House naturally don't use tricks, but most of the temporary stalls on the streets and alleys are such deceptive tricks. ”
