Volume 4 Return to the Coming Twenty-Seven, Looted



The fifth entry of Xie's Boyi Field is the Fighting Grass Pavilion, Zhou Xuan used to be in elementary school when he loved to play this, every autumn and winter season, he has a handful of poplar leaves under the insole, pick the yellow old and stout, first put it in salt water for one or two days, and then dry it and step on it in the shoes, tanning is full of toughness, and the classmates rarely lose, get the nickname of the winning general, at this time come to this Xie Fighting Grass Museum, the natural skill is itchy, but it is a pity that there is no personal tanning of the stem of the poplar leaves.

The grass fighting hall is more lively, are some half-old children, do not help adults do farm work, but steal the family's money and things to fight grass, copper coins other than jewelry and silverware are stolen to gamble, this Xie Casino is really young children and old people do not let go.

Zhou Xuan didn't have his own fighting grass, and the dealer of the fighting grass hall took out a box of fighting grass for Zhou Xuan to pick, picking three, and it was still a best-of-three game.

Xie Lao Liu now knows that Zhou Xuan is an old gambler, and seeing that he is also very discerning in picking up fighting grass, he doesn't dare to gamble hundreds or thousands, and says: "Zhou Gongzi, the bet on this fighting grass can't exceed a hundred taels of silver." ”

Zhou Xuan hadn't played this game for many years, and knew that he would definitely not be able to play the dealer here, so he said with a smile: "I originally planned to bet all the silver together, since Mr. Xie is a little afraid of war, then bet one hundred taels." ”

Zhou Xuan held both ends of the fighting grass with both hands, and the banker's fighting grass was interacted with the cross, whose stem was torn off first who lost, this time Zhou Xuan's good luck was no more, three battles and three defeats, and he happily lost a hundred taels of silver, and said with a smile: "It's so dangerous, I didn't expect the fighting grass in Xie's casino to be so powerful, fortunately I didn't bet all 1,800 taels, otherwise I would have to add silver to the town, Mr. Xie led the way." Let's take a look inside."

Xie Lao Liu regretted it a lot, and said in his heart: "This surnamed Zhou is not all strong, what am I afraid of him, opening a casino is to have courage, why not lose him a few times, win it all at once!" ”

Xie Laoliu confidently took Zhou Xuan and others to the sixth entrance. This is the Leaf Theater, and there are many people playing the Leaf Theater. There are more than ten tables for four people, and those gamblers are all brightened when they see the Lin sisters and Xiahou tassels. Where have you ever seen such a beauty in the countryside! But even if it's amazing. It's only a moment, and then I bury my head in gambling again, and beauty can't compete with gambling addiction.

Scholar Li Tao and two servants stood behind a thin old man, the old man must be Li Tao's uncle, gambling with six relatives did not recognize, let the nephew stand behind wet, his eyes red only care about playing cards.

Zhou Xuan signaled that Li Tao didn't have to make a noise, he stood aside and watched how this leaf play was played? You can understand it at a glance.,This is simple mahjong.。 It's too time-consuming to play this.

Li Tao said with a sad face: "Brother Zhou, my uncle has lost twenty acres of 100 acres of fertile land, how can it go on like this!" ”

Zhou Xuan smiled implicitly and encouraged the old man: "Uncle, you will definitely be able to win it back." Look at the cards. Shoot when it's time to strike. ”

Uncle Li Tao was happy and asked Li Tao: "Xiao Tao." Is this your friend? You see that people know a lot of etiquette, the casino is this kind of festive words, you are good, a strong bad words, what to do if you lose all 100 acres? Did you lose it all? There is no endless road. ”

Xie Lao Liu asked: "Do you want to play two games with Zhou Gongzi?" ”

Zhou Xuandao: "If you don't play this, you won't win or lose much, you have to play with four people, I like one-on-one betting." ”

Xie Laoliu said: "Then go to the chess hall, Go, chess, and snail chess." ”

Lin Hanyun looked at Zhou Xuan and grinned, and thought: "Go, even Huang Xingjian, who ranked fourth among the top ten chess players, was defeated in the hands of Brother Zhou Xuan, and you are not a big axe in front of Luban's door in this rural casino!" ”

Zhou Xuandao: "I learned chess and Go when I was a child, and I have been busy in business in the past few years, and I have played less chess, but my chess strength is still there, so I will go and gamble on Go." ”

There were also a few people in the chess hall who were playing chess, and Xie Laoliu called one of them up: "Blind Yang, you and this Zhou Gongzi are playing a game of Go." "Yang is not blind, but his eyes seem to be open.

Yang Blind's opponent didn't follow: "This chess game is not finished yet." Lin Lei"

Xie Lao Liu was now bent on winning Zhou Xuandi's money, and said impatiently: "Count you to win, how much is the bet?" Five hundred wen, give you four hundred wen, let's go. ”

Zhou Xuandao: "My chess skills are mediocre, so let's bet a little bit, fifty taels of silver a game." ”

Xie Laoliu missed the opportunity to fight grass before, this time he thought about the big gamble and was afraid of Zhou Xuandi, Jinling chess is prosperous, and there are many strong chess players, although Yang Blind is the first master of Go in Yongfeng Town, but he doesn't know the details of Zhou Xuan, this bet is still not too big, and said: "Zhou Gongzi, fifty taels is too little, and the first game is still one hundred taels." ”

Zhou Xuan said: "It's okay, then one hundred taels, or let me, an entourage, play, he is better than me." Patted the third idiot on the shoulder: "The third child, don't lose too ugly, it doesn't matter if you have a hundred taels of silver." ”

The three idiots comprehended and struggled hard in the game with Yang Blind, both sides played very fast, and the chess game ended in less than two quarters of an hour, and the three idiots lost three pieces.

Zhou Xuan pointed out: "What's the matter with you, third child, it should be like this here, it's much cheaper like this, and it should be like that there, at least you can take the lead----"

Blind Yang laughed secretly in his heart when he heard this: "This surnamed Zhou is also a stinky chess, and the pointing is even more inconsequential, so it is not as good as this third child." ”

Zhou Xuan said: "Don't go down the third child, I'll go up, see if I win him." ”

The three idiots muttered: "Master, my chess strength is above you, I can't do it, and the master can't do it." ”

Zhou Xuan glared and said, "Nonsense, when did you win against me?" ”

The three idiots said: "That's me letting the master, usually let it be, this is gambling money, I have to say it bluntly." ”

Zhou Xuan said: "Nonsense, I have always been better than you. ”

Fairy Jingyi, Lin Hanyun, Laifu, cumin and Xiahou tassel quietly did not make a sound, watching Zhou Xuan sing and lead the opponent to the bait, it was really interesting.

Zhou Xuan said to Yang Blind: "Come, I'll play a game with you." ”

Yang Blind said: "It's better to bet a hundred taels, do you want to add a bet?" ”

When Xie Lao Liu heard Yang Blind say this, he knew that Yang Blind was sure of winning. Hurriedly said: "Let's add a bet in this second game, how about five hundred taels?" ”

Zhou Xuan hesitated: "Five hundred taels is too much, so let's do it, it is not allowed to admit defeat in the middle game, and when it comes to the final game, I will lose one son and fifty taels of silver." The second son was one hundred taels of silver, and the third son had just lost three sons. I will never lose more than the third child, at most three sons, only one hundred and fifty taels, if I lose ten sons. That's bad luck for me. Five hundred taels are gone. ”

Yang Blind said in his heart: "Look at your exaggerated appearance, I really want to win your ten sons." He said, "Okay, then it's settled." ”

Guess first, Yang blind for the sake of stability, let himself guess the white chess first, as long as Yang blind is willing, he can always take the lead, because he is the banker, by him to catch the opponent guess. He caught a few pieces and knew it in his heart, if the opponent guessed correctly, he had a very clever way to slide a shot from the cuff, and the guess became a guess wrong, and naturally he took the lead in white.

What kind of eyesight are the three idiots. discovered Yang's blind trick. also said quietly, and said in his heart: "With the master's chess strength." It's not hard to win your ten, but if you attack, you're going to lose more. ”

At the beginning of the game, Yang Blind was steady at first, and after a small contact battle, he found that Zhou Xuan's chess strength was really mediocre, so he started to kill the heart of the big dragon, killing at least thirty or forty big dragons, and fifty taels each, haha, he made a fortune!

Zhou Xuan's dragon was chased longer and longer, spreading to most of the chessboard, and there were always as many as fifty or sixty sons.

Yang Blind became more and more excited, and the chess pieces on the chessboard were stained with sweat, this is a super dragon, slaughtering this dragon can win three thousand taels of silver, Xie Liuye will definitely reward me with a lot of silver, I can marry a concubine----

Yang is blind and greedy, he has ignored his chess loopholes, bent on attacking, bent on slaying the dragon, did not find that the black chess dragon has a variety of ways to do work, even if he found out, he thought that Zhou Xuan's chess strength was inferior, and he couldn't see the live chess means.

Look at the time is almost up, Zhou Xuantu saw the dagger, one ride, one lean, and the super dragon made two iron eyes in the blink of an eye.

Yang Blind was dumbfounded, rubbed his eyes vigorously, looked at Zhou Xuan and then at the chessboard, he thought that this surnamed Zhou Di was lucky, and he accidentally discovered a live chess method, and three thousand taels of silver flew, and he was extremely annoyed.

Before Yang came to his senses, the black chess began to turn defense into offense, fiercely counterattacking, and the white chess side attacked and exposed the flaws one by one, and the two dragons needed to work.

Yang Blind Man's head was sweating, he finally understood that Zhou Xuan had been deliberately showing weakness, but he woke up too late, and the endgame was no longer able to be cleaned up, fortunately, Yang Blind was also considered to have experienced a hundred battles, although he knew that the defeat was decided, and Zhou Xuan's chess strength was far above him, but he was still struggling, now it was not to win, it was to lose as little as possible, and the two dragons gave up one of them, and barely survived the dragon with a large number of children, while the other dragon died without a problem.

Xie Laoliu's face was pale, although he was just getting started with Go, he could still see it alive and dead, and knew that when he was in Zhou Xuan's time, Yang was blind and died, and he had to lose a lot of money this time.

Yang Blind finished receiving the last single official, his face was like earth, and his whole body trembled.

Zhou Xuan smiled and said: "Accept, I won forty-three and a half sons, forget about that half, forty-three sons is two thousand one hundred and fifty taels of silver, excluding the tap, Mr. Xie can pay me one thousand six hundred taels of silver." ”

The flesh of Xie Laoliu's cheeks couldn't help beating, and he wanted to smile easily, but he couldn't laugh, and he said after a while: "Zhou Gongzi is really a master, admire and admire, wait for me to move the silver." ”

Zhou Xuan said: "Okay, I'll wait." ”

Xie Lao Liu took the steward out of the gambling hall, and the steward looked at Xie Lao Liu's face and asked carefully: "Sixth master, do you really want to give the silver to the man surnamed Zhou?" ”

Xie Lao Liu smiled yin: "Notify the brown sugar immediately, guard it on the cross ridge, and send a dozen or so people, hum, if you want to win money from my Xie Casino, you have to take your life, but it's a pity that those women were killed!" ”

The steward reminded: "Sixth master, there are still people surnamed Zhou in Yongfeng Town, and if they want to kill all of them, they will kill all of them, and leave a few women for fear of trouble." ”

Xie Laoliu said coldly: "What are you afraid of, sell them to Qingyuan overnight, don't sell these three stunning colors for a few thousand taels?" ”

The steward sneered and said, "The sixth master is clever, I will personally inform Brown Sugar to ensure that nothing goes wrong." ”

Xie Lao Liu shouted: "Wait a minute, tell Brown Sugar to be careful, don't hurt the horse." I think these five horses are worth a lot of silver. ”

The steward answered and hurried away.

Xie Lao Liu ordered someone to carry a silver box in front of Zhou Xuan, and said with a smile: "Zhou Gongzi is too powerful, he ransacked my casino, I only have these silver available for support, and I have to transfer silver from the county casino overnight." How about the son come to gamble again tomorrow, I will prepare a big bet with the son for ten thousand taels of silver. ”

Zhou Xuan was surprised: "I only won three thousand taels of silver." Is your casino out of money? This does not match the reputation of the first casino in the ten counties in the southeast! ”

Xie Lao Liupi smiled and said: "There are two casinos in my Xie family, and one is in the county seat, and this is just a branch library." ”

Zhou Xuan said "oh": "Then tomorrow I will go to the gambling house in the county seat to play, and I will win it a few thousand taels of silver." ”

Xie Lao Liu said: "Okay." Definitely welcome. The heart said: "Tomorrow you only have ghosts to gamble." ”

Zhou Xuan said: "It's time to apply now. Then I'll take my leave, and trouble Mr. Xie to pack the three thousand five hundred and two points into four bags in a sturdy burlap bag, so that the horses can carry them better. ”

Xie Lao Liu didn't say a word, and asked people to take four thick burlap bags, each bag contained nearly nine hundred taels of silver, tied it tightly, and sent four Zhuang guests to help carry it.

Zhou Xuan praised: "Mr. Xie's casino is really first-class and the service is considerate, although he lost so much silver." But he talks and laughs freely, and he is really good-bearing. ”

Xie Lao Liu smiled on his face and said in his heart: "I'm so generous, I want you to die!" ”

Walking to the Yezi Theater, Zhou Xuan whispered a few words to the three idiots. The three idiots walked up to Li Tao and said, "Li Gongzi." My master asks you to go back to town with him. ”

Li Tao said with a sad face: "My uncle refuses to leave." ”

The three idiots went to help the thin old man, and suddenly said, "Old man." What's wrong with your mouth? ”

The other three people who gambled with each other looked at it, but no, their mouths and eyes were crooked, and their hands were trembling, and they exclaimed, "Old man Fang has had a stroke!" ”

Li Tao was shocked and shouted: "Uncle, uncle." ”

Old Man Fang's mouth and eyes were crooked, his body couldn't move, and he couldn't speak, only his bloodshot eyes would turn.

Zhou Xuan came over and said, "Brother Li doesn't have to worry, hurry up and take the old man back to the town to find a doctor." ”

Li Tao hurriedly said: "But my uncle has already lost more than 20 acres of fertile land and gone out, what should I do?" ”

Zhou Xuan said: "Brother Li is confused, money is a foreign thing, the most important thing to save your uncle is to hurry up, let's go back to the town together." ”

Zhou Xuan and his entourage of eight people, Li Tao's uncle and nephew and two servants, a total of twelve people led the horse out of Xie's manor, Xie Lao Liu diligently sent it to Kuobanqiao, and invited Zhou Xuan to gamble again in the county casino tomorrow.

The summer rain came fiercely, and the harvest was fast, the sky was as blue as a wash, the sun was green, the valley was verdant, only the muddy yellow mud left traces of heavy rain, and the old man Fang was not crooked when he came out of Xie's Manor, and he could walk, and his speech was still a little vague: "Why are you leaving, the old man still has to gamble!" ”

Zhou Xuan frightened: "Old man, you had a stroke just now, now you are a little relieved, if you go in to gamble again, you will definitely be paralyzed, paralyzed old man, it is disgusting to pee on the bed, think about it yourself." ”

When the old man heard this, he was also a little scared in his heart, the elderly people were just afraid of being paralyzed, so he hung his head and said: "Then you will lose in vain, you can't get it back, half of the old man's belongings have entered this casino!" ”

Zhou Xuan said: "It's okay, the daughter is gone, come back, get on the horse." ”

The people got on their horses one after another, and the four bags of silver, the three idiots, and the blessings each brought two bags, and hung them on the belly of the horses on both sides.

Zhou Xuan helped Fairy Jingyi to get on the horse first, and then he rode on it himself, his left arm naturally wrapped around Fairy Jingyi's thin waist, and he trotted up with a "driving" sound.

Because of the presence of outsiders such as Li Tao's nephew and uncle, Fairy Jingyi was so ashamed that she didn't dare to lean on Zhou Xuan.

Out of the loess road, the road turned to the manor and disappeared, and the "Wynn Inn" guy who rode with the three idiots shouted: "Zhou Gongzi, Zhou Gongzi, the villain has something important to say." ”

The three idiots drove their horses close to Zhou Xuan, and the guy said nervously: "Zhou Gongzi, be careful, the silver of Xie's casino is not so easy to win, it is rumored in the town that anyone who won more than two hundred taels of silver from Xie's manor, there is no good end, either he was robbed halfway, or he went home and caught fire in the middle of the night, the year before last, there was a gambler in the town who could roll the dice and won eight hundred taels of silver here, and rushed back to the city, but the wife and child in the city did not wait for him to come back, and disappeared without a trace, it is rumored that he was killed halfway, and the body was destroyed. And Zhou Gongzi actually won three thousand taels of them this time----"

The man was silent, and the fear in his eyes was self-evident.
