Chapter 161: Losing Money (Three Watches)

During this time, Li Ke ordered the city god of Mizhou to mobilize all the ghostly ghosts under his command to investigate all the illegal acts of the Lu family in Mizhou.

At the same time, Li Ke pretended to be an entourage and followed Li Xuan, and began to enter and exit the major casinos in Mizhou City. Although Li Ke is a gambling idiot, after this period of time, he has some understanding of gambling.

In the Tang Dynasty, gambling was very monotonous, and there were no pai gow mahjong or anything in later generations. Some are just dice, and the game is to bet on the size.

Of course, there are some different ways to play, but the audience is not very wide. Most gamblers are willing to play big or small.

Because of the size of this dice play, it is definitely exciting enough. Naturally, the attraction is greater than other gambling methods.

However, Li Ke only understood the gameplay, but he didn't know anything about the tricks. So under normal circumstances, Li Xuan, who pretended to be a son, placed bets boldly in front of the gambling table.

On this day, Li Ke came to the casino again as before. And let Li Xuan start to gamble, and it is the kind of Tu method that does not care about winning or losing.

Therefore, Li Xuan is very generous every time he makes a move, and every bet is made in a consistent unit. In this way, the other gamblers stopped betting and put all their energy on Li Xuan.

However, after a few rounds, Li Xuan still lost more and won less. This couldn't help but make Li Xuan's head see fine beads of sweat, and his teeth clenched even tighter.

In the end, Li Xuan lost all the money he carried, which couldn't help but make the casino dealer smile. After all, Li Xuan lost dozens of dollars in his casino this time.

In the end, Li Xuan turned red and took off the ring on his hand directly. The ring is made of solid gold and has a gemstone on it.

It can be said that the price is definitely very expensive, but Li Xuan slapped it on the table without care. And said sharply to the dealer: "Open, this time this son buys big." ”

"This son, although I see that your ring is expensive, the rule in the casino is that only cash is accepted and no jewelry is accepted." After the dealer put down the color cup in his hand, he opened his mouth and said to Li Xuan.

"What, do you doubt that this ring of my son is fake? This son tells you that this ring was made by craftsmen in Chang'an City. It is made of pure gold, and it is set with jadeite gemstones. ”

"If you put it on the market and sell it, it will definitely cost you more than a dozen yuan. Today, my son only deducted him as two dollars, but you took a big advantage. Li Xuan said to the dealer.

"This boy, the villain didn't dare to say that your ring was fake. It's just that rules are rules. The villain is just a dealer, and please don't be embarrassed by the villain. The dealer said to Li Xuan with a smile on his face.

At the same time, several thugs who were in charge of casino security also leaned over to Li Xuan. and directly sandwiched Li Xuan in the middle.

patted Li Xuan's shoulder with his hand and said, "This son, since this ring is worth a lot of money, why not take this ring to the pawnshop, and maybe put a few more dollars." Why break our rules here? ”

"Ben Gongzi has never pawned anything, so naturally he can't afford to lose that person. Since you cannot be the Lord, call out your treasurers. Ben Gongzi personally said to him. Li Xuan said strongly.

In fact, the shopkeeper of the casino has known about it for a long time, but he just hid behind it and didn't come out. Because he thinks it's just a gambler who loses money and doesn't leave.

But when he saw the ring on the table from a distance, he couldn't help but walk over directly. After reaching out and picking up the ring, Tsai carefully examined it.

Then he opened his mouth and said to Li Xuan: "This son, rules are rules." You can't bet on jewelry on the table, but I can buy it. I wonder how much Childe is going to offer? ”

"My son's spit is a nail, and I just said two pieces of money. It is absolutely impossible to go back on one's word now. As long as you take two dollars out, the ring is yours. Li Xuan opened his mouth and said to the shopkeeper of the casino.

"Okay, go and get two pieces of money for this son." The shopkeeper of the casino nodded and said to the people around him.

Not long after, someone brought two pieces of money for Li Xuan, and said to Li Xuan with a smile: "Childe, this is your two pieces of money, I hope Childe can use it to turn the book." ”

At this time, Li Xuan had already lost a mess, and where would he take care of that guy. Directly reached out and took the money, and threw it on the table with a bang.

And said sharply: "My son is remanded, hurry up and show my son." ”

The dealer slowly opened the color cup, and saw that the number of three dice was six. In other words, Li Xuan lost again this time.

Seeing that the two pieces of money on the table were taken back, Li Xuan gritted his teeth and said, "The money brought by this son is used up today, and tomorrow my son will definitely come to you again to turn over the book." ”

After finishing speaking, he flicked his sleeves and left the casino with Li Ke and others. Along the way, he returned to Kexian Ju angrily and frustratedly.

Returning to his own leap, Li Xuan changed his expression just now, and said to Li Ke with a smile: "Childe, how is the performance of his subordinates today?" ”

"Today you did very well, tomorrow you continue to lose for another day. When the time comes, it's okay to ask a friend to help. It's just that this Zhang Peng has not arrived for a long time, and I don't know if there is something wrong. Li Ke nodded and said.

"Childe, don't worry, my eldest brother is so good at martial arts that there will definitely be no mistakes. It is estimated that today will not be tomorrow, and it will definitely arrive in Mizhou City. Jiang Hongze opened his mouth and said to Li Ke.

……

"Childe, I've already figured it out. The person who gambled on the ring in the casino today lived in the courtyard of the Kexian Residence. The shopkeeper of the casino said to a young man.

"How much money did he lose in our casino today?" The young man asked the housekeeper.

"I lost more than 30 yuan before and after, plus a gold jade ring." The casino shopkeeper spoke.

"Since he has the money to give us, we are naturally happy to accept it. It's just that you have to keep an eye on this person, and it's best to find out what the background is behind him. lest we calculate the wrong person, and then we will be scolded by our father again. The boy said to the shopkeeper of the casino.

Yes, this young man is Lu Zhongxiang's only son, Lu Gang. He controls all the casinos in the city, as well as the green houses. In other words, all the side businesses in the city belong to the Lu family in Mizhou.

This is also the reason why Lu Gang wins money in the casino every time. As for him, he gave the money he had won to the people, so that the people would remember his kindness.

As everyone knows, the person who won the people's families was ruined was this Lu Gang, who was compassionate on the surface. But where would the people know about these things?
