168.Chapter 168
The Silver Hook Gambling House was forced to close for a period of time after the original Black Fox Incident, and was confiscated by the imperial court. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
However, it was later bought back from the government by a wealthy merchant, and once again used the name of the Silver Hook Gambling House, and once again engaged in gambling business.
And this wealthy businessman is quite business-minded, and in just one month, the fame of the Silver Hook Gambling House has been opened again, and it is even more famous than before.
When Tang Zhou and Cheng Chumo came to the Silver Hook Gambling House, it was very lively, full of fresh-clothed gamblers, and the sound of gambling machines and shouts everywhere.
Although Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaidao are the sons of Chang'an City, as powerful people, their family education is still very strict, and they often do things like going to the Qinglou to find women and smashing shops on the street, but it is rare to come to the casino to spend money.
After a few people came in, the first thing that caught their eyes was a person named Li De Award, followed by Du Ruhui's second son Du He, and then Cheng Chumo.
After Tang Zhou saw it, he couldn't help but sigh and asked, "Who is this Li De Award, and why is it so concerned, but I have never heard of it?" ”
As soon as Tang Zhou said this, Qin Huaidao immediately smiled and said: "Brother Tang, it's a bit unreasonable that you haven't heard of this Li De Award, he is a rare military wizard in our Tang Dynasty, and riding and archery is even more pediatric for him, and he won the first prize in the Li De Award last year, Brother Tang doesn't know?" ”
Tang Zhou knew that he had revealed a flaw again, so he hurriedly smiled: "I drank wine once, and my head was broken, and I forgot many things......"
Before Tang Zhou finished speaking, Cheng Chumo was already worried that Tang Zhou suddenly thought that it was him and his eldest grandson Wen who poured him wine, so he quickly interrupted Tang Zhou's words and said: "Brother Tang, this Li De Award is the second son of Wei Guogong Li Jing, Wei Guogong is my Tang Dynasty military wizard, marching and fighting like Han Xin, and my Tang Dynasty military advisor Li Ji is equally famous, Li De Award is the son of Wei Guogong, he has undergone strict training since he was a child, and riding and archery is nothing to him." ”
After Cheng Chumo finished speaking, Tang Zhou already understood, he naturally knew Li Jing's prestige, Li Jing used soldiers like a god, Li Ji strategized, the reason why the Tang Dynasty is so strong, the two of them are indelible.
"It turns out that this Li De Award is the son of Wei Guogong, so it is natural that he has attracted much attention."
Cheng Chumo nodded: "Originally, he didn't have his share this year, but some time ago, he returned to Chang'an City from the march and battle, and just arrived in time for the riding and archery competition. ”
Hearing Cheng Chumo's words, he seemed to be very admired or jealous of the Li De Award, and he didn't even think of surpassing him, Tang Zhou saw this, and hurriedly smiled: "Since there is no chance to win the first prize, then I will forget about this bet." ”
As soon as Tang Zhou spoke, Cheng Chumo immediately stopped him: "No, no, it's just a few dollars, Brother Tang, why are you so stingy, this riding archery is better than riding a horse and then archery, in case there is an accident on Li De's horse, we still have a chance, we have a chance." ”
Tang Zhou smiled bitterly, he didn't expect Cheng Chumo to pin his hope of victory on the accident of Li De's horse, in this case, the chance of victory is very small, and just when Tang Zhou was about to say something, a loud shout suddenly came from not far from the Silver Hook Gambling House: "Ah Fa, you are now penniless in losing, what else do you have to gamble?" ”
Looking for prestige, I saw a thin man with an unwilling look on his face, and said, "I...... I still have this dress. ”
On the other side, there was a fat and domineering man, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth: "How much is your clothes worth?" Besides, if you lose, will it be possible to go back naked like this? You're not afraid of being embarrassed? ”
"You don't care, I'm willing to gamble, success or failure is here."
A sneer appeared at the corner of the fat man's mouth, and he said, "Okay, since you sincerely want to be embarrassed, I will make you embarrassed." ”
After that, someone immediately took out the dice, shook them on the table a few times, and asked, "Bet big and bet small?" ”
Ah Fa's face turned pale, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and a pair of eyes stared at the man's hand, and after a long time, he said in a trembling voice: "Small." ”
The corner of the man's mouth showed a slight sneer, and then he opened it and said, "Four, five, six, you lost." ”
The fat man looked at Ah Fa and said with a sneer: "Tuo Yi suit, get out." ”
Seeing that he had lost, Ah Fa knelt down for the fat man with a plop: "Third master, let me play again, play again......"
"Get out!"
The fat man didn't seem to be in the mood to spend time here with Ah Fa, so he gave an order, and immediately came out of the crowd and drove Ah Fa to take him out.
The scene in front of him didn't last long, and this scene Tang Zhou often saw in film and television dramas, a person who was addicted to gambling lost himself to nothing, when he used to watch TV, he would only feel that this kind of person was pathetic, and he didn't feel more at all, but when this scene really happened in front of him, it gave him some shocks that he couldn't feel before.
A person could have lived a good life, but because of gambling, he became nothing, not even the most basic dignity, if he had a family, how would this hurt his family?
Tang Zhou doesn't think that he is a compassionate person, many times, he feels that the pain of others has nothing to do with himself, but more often, in the world, how can he turn a blind eye to the pain of the world, and how can he be ruthless?
The man named Ah Fa was taken out, and of course, his clothes were left behind when he went out, and all sorts of mockery erupted from all over the Silver Hook Casino, and these voices were harsh.
Tang Zhou's brows were very deep, and at that moment, he felt that he should do something.
"Let's go!"
Tang Zhou said that he would leave, Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaidao were dumbfounded, they didn't sympathize with the person named Ah Fa just now, after all, he had to gamble, and others didn't force him.
They didn't understand how Tang Zhou could be stimulated by this matter.
Out of the Silver Hook Gambling House, Cheng Chumo was a little unhappy and said: "Brother Tang, what do you mean, is it because of that you don't support me?" ”
Tang Zhou shook his head: "I will support you, but I will not support you with this method of betting, and I am against the horse archery competition being used to bet." ”
"Yes...... But this is a court rule, what can you do? Qin Huaidao looked at Tang Zhou and said the biggest key to the problem.
The streets were full of pedestrians, and Tang Zhou walked fast, but his thinking did not stagnate a little because of this.
"Since it is a regulation of the imperial court, then I will start with the imperial court and ask the imperial court to stop this behavior."
