Chapter 10: Exquisite Casino
Night, late at night.
The long dark alley was silent, except for two lights.
Two new clusters of white and red lanterns hung diagonally on the building at the end of the long alley, shining red and shining in this dark and uninhabited alley.
The eaves of this building with lanterns hanging diagonally are shining, and you can imagine how magnificent it is just by looking at the outside. Its faΓ§ade is huge, the vermilion gate is closed at the moment, and in front of the door stand two big men with scimitars on their waists, looking extremely fierce.
On the plaque of the building, Luan Xiang Fengzhi wrote the four characters "Linglong Gambling House"
This is the Linglong Gambling House, no one knows when it was built and opened, and no one has ever seen the owner of the Linglong Gambling House, only that it suddenly appeared at the end of the West Street of Guangfu City, and it is extremely luxurious.
In the exquisite gambling house, the luxuriously arranged hall is full of joy, the aroma of wine is mixed with the aroma of high-quality rouge, the silver money knocks on the gambling table, the dice shake, accompanied by the shouting of the gambler, there is a burst of crisp and pleasant sound, for the gambler, there is almost no sound in the world can be compared.
Tonight, the Linglong Gambling House welcomed two strange guests, and as soon as these two guests entered the door, they attracted the attention of many people in the hall.
One of these two was wearing a silver satin dress with a very well-cut and exquisite handiwork, and he was meticulous all over his body, revealing the word noble everywhere. The other man stood at the back of the seat, looking like a sideman, but he was equally well-dressed. said that the two are strange because they both wear a pair of singing masks on their faces, which makes it difficult to see their appearances.
The gamblers in the hall who were still concentrating on betting suddenly whispered to each other.
"Where did this come from, I haven't seen it before, and he's wearing a mask."
"It's not that anyone who comes here is willing to be recognized, no matter how many others are, come and come, bet and bet! Lao Tzu must win it back tonight with interest."
The appearance of the two only caused a small ripple, and the gamblers quickly returned their eyes to the table.
The two guests stood in front of the hall for a while, and soon a waiter ran over, smiling and said: "Hello two masters, this is the first time you have come to Linglong Gambling House" The waiter was thin and thin, like a monkey, with a welcome smile on his face. His name also fits well with his thin body, which is called Monkey.
The boy in silver satin clothes glanced at the monkey, then looked into the hall, and said, "I didn't expect there to be such a fun place in this Guangfu City." There was excitement in his words.
The monkey immediately smiled and said, "This lord, you have come to the right place, there is no more luxurious gambling house in the whole Guangfu City." He rubbed his palms and continued to laugh, "I don't know what this master likes to play, there are dice, pai gow, horse hanging, everything in the gambling house." β
The boy took out a large stack of silver tickets from his bosom and said, "Let's just play dice, where can I change chips?" β
Seeing that Gongzi took out a large stack of silver tickets, the monkey's eyes immediately lit up, this is a rich and noble family, and he will definitely get a lot of tips after waiting, he smiled and said: "This master, this gambling house does not need chips, the master just bets"
"No chips? Wouldn't that be troublesome," Childe wondered.
The monkey smiled embarrassedly: "These are all the rules set by the owner, we... I can't do it even if it's small. But don't worry, I'll make sure you have a good time tonight," he clapped his hands and said loudly, "Qianqian, Jingjing, don't hurry over." β
As soon as the words fell, two delicate beauties came out of the room on the side of the hall, stepped forward and hugged the child's hand left and right, rubbed their breasts against the child's body, and said delicately: "Master~~"
The boy skillfully hugged the small waists of the two of them, and laughed: "Since it is the rule of the owner, there must be his reason, so it is." After the words fell, he looked at the gamblers who were shouting in the hall again, and said with a hint of disdain in his eyes, "This hall is too noisy, is there a quiet place?"
"Yes! Yes! These are poor gamblers, don't be like them," the monkey nodded and said, "Come, please come here." β
The two guests went up the stairs under the guidance of the monkey and came to the second floor of the Linglong Gambling House. The second floor is more luxurious than the hall on the first floor, and the decoration is magnificent. The gambling tables were filled with richly dressed rich and noble people, all of whom were holding dissolute and bewitching beauties in their arms.
Seeing the two of them coming in, the person sitting at the gaming table just raised their heads, and Childe laughed and said, "Okay! Good! This is in line with the identity of the master. β
At this time, the dealer has begun to shake the dice, and then "bang", put the treasure box down, and shouted: "Pressure big and small, buy and leave!" β
The boy thought left and right, took out the silver ticket from his arms, and pressed it: "Small"
"Open!"
When the crate is opened, the three dice are six, six, and two.
"Fourteen o'clock! Eat small and lose big"
The boy looked depressed, as if a hundred taels of silver was like that in his eyes, he continued to take out a silver ticket from his bosom, and said loudly: "I will be big in this game!" β
The crate continued to shake.
"Open!"
...
...
The boy pressed a few handfuls in a row, and the shot was extremely generous, a bet was fifty or one hundred taels, but his luck was not good, and he quickly lost only three of the thick stack of silver tickets in his hand.
"It's obsessive!" Childe slapped the table and shouted, and the attendant standing behind him at this time also bowed down and said in his ear: "Young master, this luck is not good, or go back first." β
The boy glared at his follower and scolded angrily: "Master hasn't played enough, what's the noise!" After that, he touched Qianqian who was attached to his chest with one hand and kneaded it fiercely, and said angrily, "Maybe it's the bad luck that you two brought to Lao Tzu." β
Qianqian and Jingjing immediately glanced at each other, and said coquettishly: "This master, you are so bad~~ As the saying goes, feng shui takes turns, if you don't bet, you don't know the high luck, you will definitely be able to win it back." If it's really weird Qian'er and Jing'er, then you will punish the slave family later, "a glance of style, it's really charming to the bones."
"Okay, that's a good point" Childe was in a better mood and laughed, and pressed all the three silver tickets in his arms on the gambling table: "This game is all small, and even the profit is won back!" β
The dealer began to shake the crate again, "Pressing big and small, buy and leave, there is a bet to bet quickly!" β
"Bang!" Putting down the treasure box, this time the young master, who didn't care about the silver before, also stared at the treasure box on the gambling table with full attention.
A subtle sneer appeared at the corner of the dealer's mouth, and he opened the treasure box and shouted: "Open!" Hexachlorocyclohexane! Leopard, the dealer kills! β
"!" Childe pushed away Qianqian and Jingjing, who were attached to his body, and said angrily to the attendants behind him, "Noisy, noisy!" It must be you who have lost Lao Tzu's fortune, and I will see how the master will clean you up when he goes back."
Seeing that Gongzi was leaving, the monkey standing in the corner on the side immediately greeted him, and said with a smile: "Master, are you leaving so soon?" β
The boy glared at the monkey and said angrily: "It's all lost, why don't you leave!" What a fucking bad luck."
"Master, you just haven't got your luck yet, so it's bad luck." The monkey glanced left and right, pulled the boy to a dark place, took out a string of things from his arms and handed them to the child, and said with a smile: "Master, take a look"
The boy opened his palm, only to see that the monkey handed over a string of copper round coins, as many as ten, and the front of the round coin was engraved with the four big characters of "Linglong Gambling House".
"What is this?" asked Childe in confusion.
The monkey smiled and whispered, "Chips!" β
"Didn't you just say you didn't have any chips?!"
"Shh Childe, you whisper, the monkey pulled Childe into a darker corner, and whispered, "These are all chips lent out by this gambling house, one represents fifty taels of silver, only old customers are eligible to borrow from this gambling house" He smiled and said, "Although Childe is here for the first time, I see that Childe is rich and noble, and he doesn't look like a person who can't pay off his debts, so I took it upon myself to lend you the chips so that I can fight and come back, but I can't let the leader know." β
"Alas, you kid..."Childe squinted and smiled: "Will do it!" will do it, you are right, Ye is by no means a person who can't pay off his debts! With that, he turned around and returned to the table with the copper coin.
When the monkey saw that this boy had taken the copper coin, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a sinister smile, and the person who took the copper coin would never look back...
The dealer continued to shout, and shook the treasure box in his hand. I saw that the young man's gaze this time was no longer Qianqian beside him, Jingjing's two women, he closed his eyes slightly, and his ear bones moved slightly with the sound of dice.
"Bang" the crate is down. The dealer shouted "buy big and buy small, and make up your mind to leave"
"Five hundred taels, all pressed small!" Childe pressed a string of copper coins in his hand onto the table and shouted.
The gambling table was full of gold and silver jewelry and silver tickets, and the prince pressed ten copper coins into the table, and the dealer was not surprised, he waved his hand and lifted the treasure box.
"One, one, two, small! Eat big and lose little! β
"Hahaha! Don't let Lao Tzu press it once" Gongzi laughed, and took the silver ticket and the ten copper coins in his hand, and the attendant standing behind him was also excited, "Young master, counting the previous thousand taels, this time it is won back with interest!" β
Gongzi laughed loudly and threw two of the silver tickets to Qianqian and Jingjing: "Feng Shui takes turns, don't bet and don't know the luck!" This is your reward."
Qianqian and Jingjing took the silver ticket, and they were even more coquettish, and said coquettishly: "Thank you, the slave family said that the master would win it back sooner or later, and now that he is in good luck, hurry up and play two more~"
Childe smiled and said, "No, it's too late, I'll come back tomorrow, and I'll let you wait for you when the time comes."
Qianqian and Jingjing immediately twisted their bodies, and said coquettishly: "Ye must come tomorrow night, the slave family is waiting, but I will serve you well." β
Childe led the follower to turn around and walked out of the second floor of the Linglong Gambling House, and saw the monkey standing on the side dumbfounded, throwing him the string of copper round coins and a silver ticket of one hundred taels, and said with a smile: "This is a reward for you, the master had a great time tonight", laughed three times, and walked out of the Linglong Gambling House under the monkey's surprised expression.
The monkey took the copper coin and silver ticket, and his smiling face was already a little bitter and said: "Master, you go slowly, come back next time" Looking at the back of the two leaving, the monkey secretly said bitterly in his heart, "I wanted him to lose more, so that he could owe the debt of the gambling house, and let the leader praise and praise." Now... If you let the leader know, you can't beat me to death..."
...
In the long alley that was still dark and uninhabited, the two of them came out of the Linglong gambling house, and finally took off the masks on their faces, it was Jiang Xiaobai and Ah Qi.
Ah Qi said as he walked: "Young master, fortunately, I won it back, you don't know, how nervous I was just now." β
Jiang Xiaobai smiled and said, "What are you nervous about, aren't you all walking according to the plan you and I set last night?"
Lose first and then win, set a set of inside stories in this exquisite gambling house, this is the plan customized by Jiang Xiaobai and Ah Qi at He Feng's house last night. Jiang Xiaobai is a special elite in front of him, after a series of professional training, his ear power is naturally better than that of ordinary people, and he himself has a special study of gambling, and it is not difficult to hear the dice points in the treasure box.
Jiang Xiaobai pondered as he walked, and what was currently certain was that the copper round coin found in He Feng's house was the chip specially lent out by the Linglong Gambling House. He Feng's motive for poisoning Wanlixiang may be that he owes Linglong Casino a lot of gambling debts and is threatened. But why did Linglong Gambling House harm the Jiang family? Or who is using the power of Linglong Gambling House to threaten He Feng and poison Wanli Xiang. Who will be the boss behind the Linglong Gambling House, who can run such a luxurious gambling house in Guangfu City, it must not be a simple person, and what Jiang Xiaobai found out tonight is only the tip of the iceberg in the Linglong Gambling Room.
With He Feng's death, more and more mysteries emerged about Wanlixiang.
