Chapter 34: Picking Soil

The sound of shuffling cards on the mahjong table is loud, Yan Laojiu has lost a lot of sweat, since the beginning of the card game to play a round, he has not played a card, a total of 1.2 million taels of silver, this money for Yan Laojiu, a rich man in the rich public concession, said nothing, but this is the first time he lost so much money at the gambling table, if he loses like this again, he will inevitably lose his family.

In fact, although Yan Laojiu's gambling skills are not top-notch, they are not bad, but Matsuyama Ichiro has three brothers, and he plays mahjong, and his gambling skills are not necessarily able to defeat three with one.

Qin Liankui, Zhu Rusan and others stood aside and watched, at this time they were all anxious for Yan Laojiu, although this gamble has nothing to do with them, but after all, everyone is Chinese, and although their relationship with Yan Laojiu is not a lifelong friendship, but they are also partners in the business field, and several people have a sense of sadness for the rabbit dead fox, if Matsuyama Ichiro wins Yan Laojiu's money, what if he finds them again? As soon as they thought of this, the Chinese present all had the same hatred for the enemy.

Xiao Zhenlei silently paid attention to the situation on the gambling table, he found that the gambling skills of the three brothers of Matsuyama Ichiro were not very good, but each of them had very good calculation and memory skills, and they could judge what cards Yan Lao Jiu Hu had after two or three rounds of cards, and the most difficult thing to prevent was that they had three people, and they could cover each other to cheat when they were out of a thousand, Yan Lao Jiu couldn't cope with it at all, and it was strange to be able to win the cards.

Xiao Zhenlei felt that Yan Laojiu could not be killed by these three Japanese, judging from Yan Laojiu's appearance before, this person was at least not a vicious person, otherwise, this person would directly let his subordinates do something to the three of them.

Xiao Zhenlei thought that it would be good if he could become friends with Yan Laojiu, Yan Laojiu had a wide range of contacts in the public concession, not only had a good relationship with the high-level foreigners in the concession, but also had a great relationship with the gangsters in Shanghai, which was good for him to open up the situation in Shanghai.

Thinking of this, Xiao Zhenlei stepped forward and said, "Boss Yan, I'm tired from playing for so long, why don't you pick the soil for you?" ”

"Pick the soil" is a professional term on the card field, someone in the gambling game is in a hurry or has an urgent need to leave for a while, you can ask the trusted people around to help gamble a few games, but the gambling money can not be taken away, if the person who helps gamble loses, pay off the gambling debts with the original gambling funds, if you win, and so the original owner must come back to ask the person who helps to gamble to eat red.

"Huh?" Yan Laojiu looked at Xiao Zhenlei in surprise, and when he saw his confident look, he instantly decided to agree, stood up and said, "Okay, then thank you Brother Xiao, it's just so good that I'll take a break, old man, come on, please."

Xiao Zhenlei nodded and walked to Yan Laojiu's seat and sat down, stretched out his hand and was about to shuffle the cards, but Matsuyama Ichiro suddenly pushed the cards and said: "Slow, since Yan Sang is tired and needs to rest, I want to ask this young man to help gamble a few games, and our three brothers have no objection, but this time we don't play mahjong, play stud, and Yan Sang's gambling money on the gambling table doesn't seem to be much, I don't know how many games this young man can play?" ”

When Yan Laojiu heard this, he looked at Xiao Zhenlei with a worried face and asked, "Brother Xiao, play stud, you ......."

"Since these three gentlemen from the East want to play stud, I have no problem, I am a guest from afar!" Xiao Zhenlei said and smiled, took out a pack of old knife brand cigarettes and shook one out and put it in his mouth, Fast immediately took out a lighter and lit it for him, this scene surprised Yan Laojiu and Matsuyama Ichiro and others, you must know that all foreigners are uncles these days, how can a foreigner be an ordinary person if he can be his subordinate?

Yan Laojiu came back to his senses and immediately ordered the ghost beside him: "Go and prepare two million taels of silver tickets for Brother Xiao!" ”

Ah Ghost nodded and said, "Understood, master!" ”

The silver tickets of two million taels of Yishanyuan Qian Zhuang were sent, and a thick bunch was almost piled up to a foot high, and the three brothers of Songshan were even more, they originally had more than 1.3 million taels of gambling capital, and they won Yan Lao's 9.2 million taels, and now they add up to more than 2.5 million taels.

The mahjong table was replaced by a long gambling table, which was covered with a brand new green blanket, Xiao Zhenlei looked at Matsuyama Ichiro and asked, "Mr. Matsuyama, right?" Stud is different from mahjong, if you don't play stud, others can continue, if I feel that my cards are small, don't follow, then do you want to continue between the three brothers? If you don't continue, then this gamble won't be interesting, right? It's clear that it's the three of you and one of me, I don't know what Mr. Matsuyama thinks? ”

Matsuyama Ichiro frowned when he heard this, turned his head and whispered to the two brothers behind him for a while before saying to Xiao Zhenlei: "We have decided that I will play against Your Excellency alone, but I have the right to use their gambling funds!" ”

"Yes!" Xiao Zhenlei nodded in agreement, but asked a new question: "It is very important to play stud shuffling and dealing cards, so you must find a dealer who is recognized by both parties, I don't know who Mr. Matsuyama Ichiro thinks is the most suitable dealer on the spot?" ”

When Matsuyama Ichiro heard this, he thought that this was really a problem, he looked at his two younger brothers and asked one of them to be a dealer, Xiao Zhenlei on the other side was afraid that he would not agree, but if one of Xiao Zhenlei or Yan Laojiu's subordinates was a dealer, he himself was not at ease, he looked left and right, saw Qin Liankui and others, and hurriedly pointed to Zhu Rusan: "Let him be a dealer, what is Mr. Xiao's opinion?" ”

Xiao Zhenlei turned his head and smiled: "I have no opinion, but the candidate for this dealer was proposed by Mr. Matsuyama, if Mr. Matsuyama loses in the gambling game next, you can't put the responsibility on the dealer or others!" ”

"We, the people of the Great Japanese Empire, will never lose to you sick men of the Qing Dynasty!" Matsuyama Saburo stood up and pointed at Xiao Zhenlei and shouted.

Xiao Zhenlei raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and the cold glint in his eyes flashed.

This is Matsuyama Ichiro shouting at Matsuyama Erlang: "Erlang, you give me a step down, now I bet against Mr. Xiao, Mr. Xiao is a person recognized by Yan Sangdu, it can be seen that the gambling skills are very clever, I am looking forward to fighting with him!" ”

Seeing that his brother was angry, Jiro Matsuyama could only snort angrily and retreat to the back.

Matsuyama Ichiro bowed to Xiao Zhenlei again and said: "Mr. Xiao, please rest assured, the candidate is proposed by the contemptible people, if the contemptible people lose, of course they will not put the responsibility on others!" ”

"Good!" Xiao Zhenlei looked at Yan Laojiu and said: "Boss Yan, then please go and invite Boss Zhu to be a dealer, if something happens, I Xiao will bear it, and I will never affect him!" ”

Although Zhu Rusan is a businessman, his family has been on the beach for generations, and he can be said to be a local rich man on the beach, what scene has he not seen? As soon as Xiao Zhenlei finished speaking, he laughed loudly uninvited: "Hahaha, Brother Xiao is really a hero, I, Zhu Rusan, am not a person who is afraid of things, I am fortunate to be a dealer in a gambling game with millions of taels of silver, I Zhu someone is honored, after this incident, Zhu someone will definitely make friends with Brother Xiao!" ”

Xiao Zhenlei stood up and smiled: "Okay, there is Boss Lao Zhu!" ”

After negotiation, Xiao Zhenlei, Matsuyama Ichiro, and the dealer jointly agreed that the bottom gold in the gambling game is 1,000 taels, and each time he speaks, it cannot be less than 10,000 taels, and there is no upper limit, as long as the speaker can come up with enough money!

Zhu Rusan stood in the middle of one side of the gambling table, put on a pair of white gloves that had been prepared on the gambling table, opened a new deck of playing cards, picked out the big and small kings, and placed them in the middle of the gambling table.

"Mr. Xiao, please check the card!" Zhu Rusan to Xiao Zhenlei.

Xiao Zhenlei smiled: "No need! ”

Seeing this, Zhu Rusan turned to Matsuyama Ichiro and stretched out his other hand: "Mr. Matsuyama, please check the card!" ”

Matsuyama Ichiro saw that Xiao Zhenlei did not check the card, and he naturally didn't want to lose face and lose his momentum, so he shook his head and said: "No need!" ”

Zhu Rusan saw that both sides did not check the cards, immediately picked up the playing cards on the table and began to shuffle the cards, the gambling game officially began, Ma Xiaoshuang and Matsuyama Erlang each threw a thousand taels of silver tickets on the gambling table as the base gold.
