The dealer was pretending to be a fool and shaking the dice cup, and Mo San was so nervous that he didn't even dare to breathe. Xiong Minyang gave him the task of losing all his bets, and then half-pushed, half-on-the-spot to accept the usury released in the gambling house, so as to lure the snake out of the hole. Although he had the idea of losing, he still felt extremely distressed about exporting so much money from his own hands at one time, and the expression of gain and loss on his face was really impossible for professional actors to imitate.
"Open!" The dealer fastens the dice cup on the table and slowly unveils it. He glanced at the dice and said to Mo San: "I'm sorry, guest officer, this one is big, guest officer, you lost." ”
"Huh?!" Mo San's eyes widened, "What's the matter...... How could you lose? Haven't I been winning all the time? ”
"Guest, this casino matter, winning or losing is determined, and I can't help it." The dealer pretended to be sympathetic and said.
Mo San plopped down and sat on the stool behind him, his eyes straightened, and he muttered in his mouth: "It's over, it's over, it's all over now!" ”
Xiong Minyang and the others stood beside Mo San, watching Mo San enter the play like this, they couldn't help but laugh, but they didn't dare to laugh, so they could only hang their heads, as if they had also been hit, waiting for this good show to continue.
The dealer waited on the side for a while, and when he saw that Mo San didn't make any moves, he asked, "Guest officer, I'm about to open the next one, do you still bet?" ”
"I ...... I'm out of money. Mo San replied in a trembling voice.
"So you're not going to bet anymore? If so, then please get out of the way and play again next time you raise money. The dealer said.
"This ......" Mo San hesitated to stand up, but he didn't move his nest, his eyes only wandered between the beard surnamed Zhang and the shopkeeper surnamed Hu, looking like he wanted to say goodbye.
Xiong Minyang said appropriately: "Third brother." We don't have any money, so let's go back. ”
"Well, well, let's go back then." Mo San said this, but his feet did not move.
The beard surnamed Zhang stepped forward and said, "Brother, what's the matter, don't you play?" ”
"I'm all lost, how can I play?" Mo Sandao.
"What are you afraid of after losing. Didn't I lose just now, little brother, you see now, it's turned back again. "Nonsense.
"That's if you have friends who can borrow money, I'll ......," Mo San said hesitantly.
The beard turned to the shopkeeper who lent money and said, "Shopkeeper Hu, you see that this brother is a little strapped now. Will you help him too? ”
Shopkeeper Hu frowned and said, "This brother and I ...... I don't know either. ”
"Once born and twice cooked, who doesn't have a problem, you can help him." Bearded said.
Mo San also said timidly: "Uh...... Shopkeeper Hu, can you lend a little money to your brother just like you lent money to this brother Zhang just now? ”
"No way!" Without waiting for the shopkeeper Hu to agree, Xiong Minyang jumped out first. "Third brother, how can we borrow money to play? What if I lose again? ”
"I ......" Mo San hesitated, as if he was frightened by Xiong Minyang's words.
The beard retorted, "How can this brother talk like that? How can you say this loss on the casino? This borrowing is a way of transshipment, you see. I also lost my money just now, but as soon as I borrowed it, luck came. ”
"Is that really the case?" Mo San looked at the dealer with an inquiring gaze, "Brother." Do you think I can still transit? ”
The dealer said: "When it comes to betting, winning or losing is your destiny." I don't dare to give you a guarantee. However, I have seen a lot of things that this brother said, some guests have been unlucky, and after borrowing some money, the feng shui will be reversed. ”
"Okay, then I'll try it too!" Mo Sanyi stomped his feet and said.
Xiong Minyang and the others had to pretend to argue with Mo San again, but Mo San seemed to be determined to borrow money. The shopkeeper Hu watched coldly from the side for a while, and when Mo San was very sure, he said leisurely: "Brother, it's okay if you want to borrow money, but you have to take something to pledge, right?" ”
"Bet on what?" Mo San asked.
"Title deeds, title deeds, and family heirlooms, you can do it. Although meeting is fate, but the brothers settle the accounts, this matter of borrowing money, what is the line without a mortgage? Shopkeeper Hu said.
"I didn't have any of these things with me." Mo San said.
The shopkeeper Hu said: "It doesn't matter if you don't bring it, you just need to write a note, draw a charge, and I will admit it." ”
"Really?" Mo San asked, "Aren't you afraid that I won't admit it afterwards?" ”
Shopkeeper Hu said: "What you don't recognize afterwards will definitely not happen." Luoshan is also a place where there is a royal law, as long as you draw a charge, you will not recognize it at that time, and there will be no government? ”
Xiong Minyang nodded secretly in his heart, the things in this gambling house are really related to the local government, and without the support of the local government, they would not have been able to do it like this.
The three of them, Hu Hu, Hu Shopkeeper and the Dealer, sang and harmonized, and soon Mo San signed an agreement, promising to borrow five taels of silver from Hu Shopkeeper with the family's land and house as collateral. The interest on the silver is calculated according to the "nine in and thirteen out", that is, Mo San nominally borrowed five taels of silver, but in fact he could only get four and a half taels, and when he repaid it, he needed to repay six and a half taels, and the extra ones were the interest on the loan.
After the agreement was written, both parties held one copy, and Mo San's one was taken by Xiong Minyang into his arms. The shopkeeper Hu took out four taels of silver and handed it to Mo San, who threw the change of the five coins on the gambling table and said, "Bet five coins, this time bet big!" ”
"Great!" The dealer happily raised the dice cup, and he decided not to go around in circles with Mo San, but to win all the money borrowed by Mo San as soon as possible, which is the practice of Xinglong Gambling House, and they used this method to gradually annex the land in the hands of the peasants.
"Wait!" Liao Yiming, who had been silent, suddenly flashed out from behind Mo San and stretched out a hand to stop the dealer's movements.
"What do you mean?" The dealer asked in surprise.
Liao Yiming said: "This one, I'll shake it for you, okay?" ”
"How can this work, you are a player's person, how can you shake the cup?" The dealer reprimanded.
"Why, who shakes your cup, and can you shake it to produce different results?" Liao Yiming asked lightly.
"How is this possible?" The dealer was stunned for a moment and hurriedly denied it.
The dealer didn't know that Liao Yiming had also worked as a handyman in the gambling house in Huai'an before joining the Kanyu camp, and he had some understanding of the various thousands of techniques in the gambling house. Just now, he hid beside Mo San, and he had been watching the dealer's way of shaking the dice cup, and he was sure that there must be something wrong with these dice.
Prior to this, Liao Yiming was not in a hurry to debunk the dealer's thousand techniques, and according to Li Zhen's arrangement, he had to let the gambling house perform a full performance. Now that the loan shark has appeared, and the terms of the various cheaters have been written in black and white, it is time to find fault and attack the gambling house.
"If it's no different, why don't you let me shake a few for you?" Liao Yiming said, and quickly snatched the dice cup from the dealer's hand. The dealer intended to step forward to snatch it, but was stopped by Yin Guoxian, who followed later. Seeing this, the bearded and shopkeeper Hu were also stunned.
Liao Yiming took a moment to grab a few dice from the dice cup, played with them lightly in his hand, and then threw them back into the dice cup. He followed the example of the dealer, raised the dice cup and shook it a few times, then buckled it on the table, shouted "big", opened the dice cup and saw that the number of dice was indeed "big".
The faces of the dealer, the bearded and the shopkeeper all became extremely ugly, and they had already realized that the other party must have come to find trouble, as for why they were looking for trouble, they couldn't understand it for a while.
"Brother, what do you mean by that?" The dealer hugged his hands to his chest and asked Liao Yiming coldly.
Liao Yiming smiled slightly and said, "Brother, I just saw that you were too tired, so I just shook it for you." You see, I just opened it big, didn't my third brother win? ”
"How can you count what you shake?" The dealer said.
Liao Yiming said: "So, what you shake counts?" ”
The dealer said, "That's natural, I'm a dealer." ”
Liao Yiming said: "If the dealer is out of a thousand, can it also be counted?" ”
"Who do you say is out of thousands?" The dealer said, "Brother, talking nonsense is punishable by jail time." ”
Liao Yiming pinched a dice with his hand and said, "If there is no mercury in this dice, it will be evil." I want to know, what are you doing with mercury in your dice? ”
"Who said mercury was poured in? Don't spew blood. The dealer shouted inwardly.
Liao Yiming didn't say much to him, just put the dice on the table, then picked up a stone paperweight on the table and smashed it hard. These dice were originally made of horns, and they were not very strong. With this smash, the dice shattered into several pieces at once, and a drop of shiny mercury flowed out of the center of the dice.
The dispute here has long attracted many gamblers to come and watch, and when they saw that mercury really appeared in the middle of the dice, those real gamblers all exploded:
"Nima, after a long time of trouble, the Xinglong gambling house is really out of the woods!"
"No wonder I always lose, it turns out that the dealer is out of the old man!"
"What is a prosperous gambling house, it is clearly a place to grab money, and I have been playing here for so long."
“……”
There is no more impulsive person than a red-eyed gambler, after seeing the real evidence, these gamblers are even more furious, some people pull the dealer to ask them to understand, some people directly turn the gambling table up, and some people threaten to go to the county government to complain, the whole scene becomes chaotic.
"Everyone, everyone, don't listen to these people!" He jumped on a gambling table and shouted to everyone: "These people are here to smash the field, and this dice was brought by themselves, and it is not the dice of Xinglong Gambling House." Xinglong gambling house has a big business, how can there be a reason for a thousand! ”
"Smashing the field?" Hearing what Luo Huhu said, many gamblers became confused, and they didn't know whether to believe that the gambling house was good, or that Liao Yiming and others were good, so they turned their eyes to Xiong Minyang and his party.
