Chapter 10 Gamblers from all over the world gather
In time, Song Jiang took his brothers Song Qing and Zhang Wenyuan to Babaolou, and Zhang Wenyuan passed the preliminary round of the gambling king conference successfully. Only four people were screened out to enter the finals, and Song Jiang only recognized one as Zhu Biao, the third son of Zhujiazhuang.
Fortunately, the gambling king conference lasted until the evening, and the organizers also allowed silver to enter the competition, and the finals required 100 taels of silver. Song Jiang was watching, and there was already a big official from Yanggu County who paid to enter the house, and there was also a wealthy businessman from Mengzhou who claimed to be surnamed Hei.
Song Jiang heard that the Ximen officials were rich and rich, and saw that Zhu Biao Kong Wu was powerful and wanted to make friends, so he also paid the silver to enter the finals. It was not himself who participated, but his brother Song Qing. He was a official, but he was not good at gambling for the sake of fame.
Walking into the Babao Building, Song Jiang felt that the atmosphere was unusual, and there seemed to be an undercurrent surging under the lively surface.
Song Qing put it to Song Jiang's ear, lowered his voice and said: "Brother, there are many people in the building, their eyes and minds are not on the gambling table, as if they are looking for someone, looking at their eyes and habitual movements, there is a good chance that they are people in the public gate." ”
Zhang Wenyuan was taken aback: "Brother Oshi, isn't this gambling king event a trap?" ”
"San Lang Hugh should panic!" Song Jiang also had some news, and said with a faint smile: "According to the information I have received, they are indeed handling a big case, but it has nothing to do with us. ”
"I see." Zhang Wenyuan let out a long breath, and the eyes that looked at Song Jiang were different from before. He felt that he had fully understood this short, dark-faced man, but something new was constantly appearing in this man.
So, can the idea of winning a lot of money here, and then taking Yan Po to fly away, can it hide from this person's eyes? Even if he hid it for a while, can he escape his eyes and ears all over the rivers and lakes? Zhang Wenyuan is a confident person, but at this moment, he doubted himself for the first time in his life.
At the beginning of this gambling king event, the number of applicants was divided into eight groups, and one person from each group entered the final semi-finals. After the rematch, a group of four people was selected, and the group that entered the final gambled again.
Zhang Wenyuan entered the finals as he wished, but his heart was full of ups and downs. He looked at the other three opponents, and saw a tall man more than eight feet tall sitting in the east, described as burly, with a rough appearance, and a fierce breath, knowing that it was Zhujiazhuang Zhu Biao.
Looking at the other person, he was also more than seven feet tall, with a white complexion, and a long shirt was spotless. The most peculiar thing is a pair of eyes, sometimes with golden light, like people from the Western Regions. I just heard someone say that it seems to be a small official camp surnamed Shi in Mengzhou.
The man was left with a slender body, wearing a straight collar and calluses on his hands. Speaks like a duck, talks to himself and is addicted to gambling, and is nicknamed General Shi.
"Where did these three people come from? How can you fight with me Zhang Sanlang? Zhang Wenyuan couldn't help frowning and muttered quietly.
In the finals, the two groups of people competed separately, and Song Jiang went to a place with his brother Song Qing.
After entering the room, Song Jiang looked at the other people.
On the left-hand side is a sixty-year-old man, which is not surprising. Sitting opposite was Ximenqing, a famous official of Hebei's crude medicine shop, with a warm complexion, greedy for humor, and good feelings. This person loves to play and gamble the most, and he comes from hundreds of miles to play.
But he said that there was a person on the right hand, and his appearance was surprising. The nose with a pair of strange eyes is covered with pimples, like a toad lying on its face, giving people an indescribable uncomfortable feeling; A pair of rat eyes sparkled with a thief's light, but he was wearing a shirt sewn with fine satin, which was very funny.
Song Jiang looked at this person familiarly, as if he had seen Bai Sheng on Chaogaizhuang, but he didn't dare to calibrate.
At this time, Bai Sheng, who was full of gambling, thought that he was dressed in disguise and changed his name and surname to Hei, and no one recognized him. didn't know that He Qing upstairs and Song Jiang who were present both locked their eyes on him.
After this effort, Song Qing lost his capital. Song Jiang didn't care either, just watched the other three people on the field play.
At this point, everyone's eyes in the field were focused on the old man, Bai Sheng and Ximen Qing.
The most exciting moment came, Ximenqing looked at the chips in front of Bai Sheng and the old man, and said lightly: "I'll bet a little less in this game, just 10,000 taels of silver." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. Song Jiang sighed secretly: "Sure enough, it is a huge wealth in Yanggu, and it is an extraordinary shot." ”
10,000 taels of silver is already the limit of Lao Weng and Bai Sheng, but at this moment, how can he show weakness? The two had no choice but to respond.
Bai Sheng and the old man glanced at each other, exchanged glances, and said in unison: "Since this is the case, it should be smaller." ”
Because Ximenqing is too strong, the two unconsciously have the intention of joining forces to fight the enemy.
"Please, two of you!" Ximenqing stretched out his hand and gestured.
The old man was more anxious than Bai Sheng, and couldn't help but say: "I'll shake it first for respect!" ”
As he spoke, he grabbed the sandalwood tube and ran it over the table like a dragonfly, but he had already copied the three dice into the wooden tube neatly.
Then he calmed down, turned his hands like spinning tops, and the wooden tube with the dice spun rapidly, and circled his body three times, and finally as if he had eyes, a phoenix returned to the nest and fell into the wide palm. Suddenly, the applause was like thunder, and the cheers were endless.
The old man let out a long breath and said with a smile: "I'm shaking it, dare to ask the two of you, if it's an average size, how to divide the winners and losers?" ”
Since Bai Sheng claimed that Bai Rjue was quite sensitive, he had already heard him shake out three points, and he couldn't make a sound.
Ximenqing smiled and said disapprerovitically: "If it's an average size, then the two of you win." ”
When the old man heard this, he was even more overjoyed, and turned his gaze to Bai Sheng: "This brother, if the two of us are the same size, which one wins?" ”
Bai Sheng pondered for a moment, and arched his hand: "If the two of us are also the same size, it is fate, so we can't hurt the harmony?" How about a split of the shares? ”
The old man thought about it for a while, and felt that there was a profitable deal, so he nodded and said, "According to what Your Excellency said." ”
Bai Sheng also grabbed the wooden tube, slowly put the three dice into it, shook it casually, and put it on the table: "I also shook it." ”
This move disappointed the surrounding audience, everyone originally thought that Bai Sheng's movements would be more fancy, but who knew that it was so simple and clear.
"Judging from this person's actions, he should be Bai Rì Rat Bai Sheng of Anle Village." Song Jiang saw this for a while, and he had already recognized Bai Sheng.
Looking at Ximenqing, Song Jiang said in his heart: No matter how fast a mouse is, it is just a mouse, and it is still eaten by a cat after all, can it still eat a cat?
When it was Ximenqing's turn to roll the dice, he just stretched out a hand and patted it lightly on the table, and the wooden tube and the three dice were all shaken more than a foot high from the table, and they rotated together.
Strange to say, the three crystal dice flew straight into the wooden tube in the air as if they had eyes, and then spun around again before they landed on the table.
The old man and Bai Sheng were both taken aback, they didn't expect that this person dressed like a playboy turned out to be a top master. And the audience held their breath and waited for the final result.
"Two points? How can it be? Bai Sheng looked at the points, and rubbed his eyes a few times as if he didn't believe it.
When they looked again, they found that what they had just seen was not an illusion: Ximenqing really only had two points, and the third dice had already turned into pieces.
Just patted it lightly on the table, but it turned a white jade dice into pieces, which is really amazing!
The old man lost all his savings for several years, and although his flesh hurt badly, he had no choice but to leave miserably.
Although he lost all his money, he was able to see such an unheard-of gambling technique, which was also an eye-opener and a long experience, which was worth the trip.
Bai Sheng arched his hand and said, "Your Excellency, what a wonderful technique!" ”
Ximenqing couldn't look down on Bai Sheng's honor, so he got up lazily and said, "It's easy to say!" So saying, he sent his servant to take the money and drift away.
Song Jiang went downstairs with Song Qing and took the opportunity to talk to Ximen Qingpan for a few words. But I saw a group of wolf-like officials carrying Bai Sheng, a white rat who was tied into a dumpling, and under the leadership of He Tao, the envoy of Sandu, they went to the Sandu arrest room.
Thinking of the news earlier, Song Jiang suddenly realized, and secretly said: "I said that this gambling king event is so weird, it turned out to be a trap!" How did Sandu arrest the envoy He Tao so much? Could it be related to the 100,000 Birthday Gang? ”
Song Jiang sent Ximenqing away, let Zhang Wenyuan return to Yuncheng County first, and he took Song Qing to stay in Jeju City to find out the news.
Such an arrangement is in Zhang Wenyuan's arms, and without Song Jiang by his side, the two-person world between him and Yan Poxi is exciting to think about.
