After settling Shen Qianyi, Shi Luosheng and the two returned to the inn and told Xiao Yan about the experience of seeing Shen Rihua last night, Xiao Yan also felt that Shen Rihua's strategy was usable, and it happened that Liu Hanfeng, the deputy commander of the imperial guards next to him, had superb gambling skills, and they usually had a lot of time to get together to gamble, and after a long time, each of them had extraordinary gambling skills, which came in handy at this time.

In the next two days, Liu Hanfeng won more than 3,000 taels of silver from Li Yuan's Sifang Casino, and Li Yuan couldn't sit still when he heard the report of his subordinates, so he came out to gamble with Liu Hanfeng in person. After only a few gambles on Liu Hanfeng, he lost 5,000 taels of silver, and not only lost all of them in the first two days, but also lost 2,000 taels. Liu Hanfeng was not convinced, and took out 10,000 taels of silver tickets on the spot to ask for a higher bet, and Li Yuan was also on the rise, so he readily agreed. As a result, Han Hanfeng lost again, and in annoyance, he pointed at Li Yuan and said, "Let's gamble again tomorrow and bet 50,000 taels of silver." Although Li Yuan felt that the stakes were a bit big, he didn't refuse to see that his opponent's gambling skills were average.

After gambling the next day, Liu Hanfeng naturally lost again, and Liu Hanfeng, who refused to admit defeat, began to borrow money from Li Yuan to continue gambling. Li Yuan, a gambler of this type, usually didn't know how much he had seen, so he agreed without thinking so.

In the next few days, luck was not on Liu Hanfeng's side at all, and after the last gamble, Liu Hanfeng not only lost 100,000 taels of silver, but also owed Li Yuan 50,000 taels. How could Liu Hanfeng have any money back, Li Yuan made a big move, and a few thugs came up and beat Liu Hanfeng firmly. Li Yuan said: "Boy, today is just for you to have a long memory, if you don't pay back tomorrow, it will be more than 50,000 taels of silver." Liu Hanfeng lay on the ground and couldn't get up in pain, but he said fiercely: "The surname is Li, you wait, I want to gamble with you again." ”

Li Yuan said with a smile: "If you want to gamble, Li can accompany you at any time, but do you still have a gambling book?" Don't forget that you still owe me fifty thousand taels of silver. ”

Liu Hanfeng said: "You give me two days, I'll raise money, and after two days, we'll gamble here again." ”

Li Yuan said: "Li Mou, a gambler like you, has seen too much, and wants to use the strategy of delaying the army to take the opportunity to escape, don't dream." I can promise you the gambling game in two days, and I will let the people guarding the city keep an eye when I turn around, and if I find out that you dare to escape from Xu County in the past two days, don't blame me for being unkind. After speaking, Li Yuan took the people and left.

Liu Hanfeng looked at Li Yuan's back, smiled coldly, and in a blink of an eye, he got up like a nobody, flicked the dirt on his body, and walked towards the inn.

In the next two days, there were several big cases in Xu County, first the wealthy merchant Lu Yuanwai's house in the city was visited by thieves at night, and the heirloom of Master Wang's family was stolen, and then there was the theft of the silver treasury of Boss Ma's house. These "hot" news soon spread throughout the city and became the hottest topic in Xu County at the moment.

Two days later, Li Yuan took four thugs to the place agreed with Liu Hanfeng early, and after waiting for a long time, Liu Hanfeng also arrived, followed by a person carrying a large package.

Li Yuan saw Liu Hanfeng and said: "Boy, I didn't expect you to really dare to come, even if you didn't run away, otherwise you would only be able to crawl and walk in the future." ”

Liu Hanfeng didn't bother to talk to Li Yuan, so he first took out 50,000 taels of silver tickets from his body and threw them to him, saying: "This is to repay your 50,000 taels of silver, Lao Tzu is a man of words, he is willing to gamble and lose, and he never loses his gambling account." ”

Li Yuan took the silver ticket and glanced at it and said, "Okay, there's a kind, how do you want to play today?" ”

Liu Hanfeng took out two dice and said, "It's simple, just bet on shaking the dice, whoever has the highest number of points wins." If it's the same big, play another round until the winner is decided. ”

Li Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, how big is it?" ”

Liu Hanfeng motioned to the man who followed him to put the package on the table: "500,000 taels of silver." ”

Li Yuan was shocked by Liu Hanfeng's actions: "Five hundred thousand taels? You're not kidding me, are you, you can have 500,000 taels of silver like this? ”

Liu Hanfeng said: "The package on the table, open it yourself and look at it." ”

Li Yuan gave a look to a person beside him, and the man stepped forward to open the package and take a look, only to see that there were more than 400,000 taels of silver tickets and some antique calligraphy and paintings, gold and silver jewelry, and the estimated value should be more than 500,000 taels.

Li Yuan smiled: "Boy, why do you suddenly have so much money, no wonder there are rumors everywhere in the city in the past two days that several rich merchants have been stolen, could it be that you stole all of them?" ”

Liu Hanfeng's face turned red when he heard this, and he said hurriedly: "Of course it wasn't stolen, whether you bet or not, if you don't bet, I'll leave." After that, he had to pack up the package on the table.

When Li Yuan saw Liu Hanfeng's appearance, he had already decided that the theft in the city in the past two days had nothing to do with him, but he couldn't afford to denounce Liu Hanfeng, and he couldn't get much of the confiscated stolen money, so it was better to win it all here, so he stretched out his hand to stop it: "Slow, I'll bet with you." ”

Liu Hanfeng asked rhetorically: "Since you agreed to gamble, you have seen my gambling money now, what about your gambling money?" ”

Li Yuanke couldn't take out 500,000 taels of silver, he only had more than 200,000 taels of silver on him, most of which he had earned from Liu Hanfeng in the past few days, and there were only a few tables in that Sifang Casino, which was not worth a few dollars.

Li Yuan thought to himself: "I have gambled so many times with this kid surnamed Liu, I know very well how many catties he has, and besides, the dice I brought today are also filled with mercury, it is impossible to lose, this opportunity cannot be missed." ”

Li Yuan scratched his head and said, "I only have 200,000 taels of silver on me now, plus the 50,000 taels you just repaid, a total of 250,000, and the deed of my casino is worth 20,000 taels...... No, it's worth 50,000 taels of silver, that's 300,000 taels, and I'll write you an IOU, I owe you 200,000 taels of silver, what do you think? You asked me how many times I borrowed money, and you lent me once. ”

Liu Hanfeng looked at Li Yuan with wide eyes and said, "What? Your broken casino is worth 50,000 taels of silver? There was an empty house inside, a few tables, and five thousand taels of silver was too much. ”

Seeing that this stupid boy didn't agree, Li Yuan rolled his eyes, slapped his hand on the table, and said angrily: "I said that it is worth 50,000 yuan, whether you accept it or not, if you don't accept it, I will take you back to the yamen, and thoroughly investigate whether this silver is related to the theft in the city." ”

Liu Hanfeng's face changed greatly when he heard this, and said: "Forget it, forget it, count me unlucky, 50,000 is 50,000, whoever has time to go back to the yamen with you, let's start." ”

Li Yuan saw that Liu Hanfeng agreed, and secretly smug in his heart: "Lao Tzu can't clean you up, if it weren't for you to send money to Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu would have been soft-hearted, otherwise he would have arrested you in prison a long time ago." ”

After the two talked, Li Yuan wrote an IOU, and the gambling game officially began, Liu Hanfeng asked Li Yuan to throw it first, Li Yuan grabbed the dice on the table, put it in his hand and shook it, at this shaking moment, Li Yuan had replaced the dice with the mercury dice he hid in the cuffs, although the action was extremely fast, but there was a way to hide Liu Hanfeng's eyes, this method, Liu Hanfeng didn't know how many times he had played in the palace. Liu Hanfeng smiled slightly and didn't expose it, watching Li Yuan roll the dice.

Li Yuan threw the dice into the cup, shook it a few times, and then flipped it on the table. At the moment when the dice cup fell on the table, Liu Hanfeng's internal force made the table shake slightly, although Li Yuan was a master in gambling skills, but he didn't know anything about martial arts, where could he see Liu Hanfeng's methods.

After Li Yuan finished shaking, he didn't open the dice cup, and said to Liu Hanfeng: "Boy, it's time for you to throw." ”

Liu Hanfeng nodded, also grabbed the dice and threw them into the dice cup, shook them a few times in a hurry, and also wanted to learn from Li Yuan to flip the buckle on the table, but he almost didn't throw the dice out.

Li Yuan couldn't help but smile: "You open first." ”

Liu Hanfeng slowly opened the dice cup, and everyone looked at it, one, two, four, only seven points.

Li Yuan laughed: "Seven o'clock, boy, you broke the record this time, we have gambled so many times, this is the smallest time you shake, brother, I thank you in advance for 500,000 taels of silver." ”

Liu Hanfeng saw that Li Yuan was still proud, and said coldly: "You can also uncover it, maybe it's not even seven o'clock." ”

Li Yuan smiled unabatedly and said, "Okay, I'll reveal it now." After speaking, Li Yuan also unveiled his dice, and everyone looked over to see it, one, two, two, only five o'clock.

Li Yuan rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and this time it was Liu Hanfeng's turn to laugh and said: "Hahahaha, Master Li, I took it, I took this silver, you still owe me 200,000 taels of silver, I don't know when it will be made up?" ”

Li Yuan was still immersed in the handful just now, muttering: "Impossible, impossible, you are out of a thousand." ”

Liu Hanfeng's face changed and said, "Master Li, you can't afford to lose." Where did you see that I am out of a thousand, can you show evidence? ”

Li Yuan still refused to accept his defeat, and shouted: "Impossible, I didn't lose, I didn't lose, by the way, your money was stolen, it's stolen money, come on, arrest him for me." ”

A few thugs brought by Li Yuan walked over to Liu Hanfeng, and Liu Hanfeng said: "Master Li, don't wronged a good person, my silver came from a dignified and upright way, I don't believe you are now sending someone to ask those rich merchants to see if they are really stolen, maybe it's just a rumor?" If Master Li arrests me because of rumors, then it is confirmed that my money was not stolen, and you owe me a gambling debt, how do I see you end? ”

Li Yuan didn't want to make the matter known all over the city, so he sent two of his subordinates to the three rich merchants to inquire, and after a stick of incense, the two came back and reported: "My lord, we went to ask, the three were indeed stolen the night before, but when they got up this morning, all three of them found that the original stolen things had all returned." ”

Liu Hanfeng smiled after hearing this: "Master Li, do you have anything else to say now?" With a wave of his hand, the man standing behind him stepped forward to collect the silver ticket on the table.

Li Yuan looked at it and shouted anxiously: "Don't touch my silver." After saying that, he snatched a knife from the hand of a person next to him and slashed at the man, splashing blood on the spot.

Li Yuan smiled hideously: "I told you not to touch my silver, you killed him for me." ”
