In front of the Liu family's gambling house, Deng Haonan stood with his hands in his hands, and the big bull followed aside, like a telephone pole, like a bodyguard.

The gambling style prevailed in the Ming Dynasty, and the scholars and doctors were good horses, tired of days and nights, and they were crazy. The literati are very keen on this, and there was once a gambler named Ma Shuxin, who gambled all his family assets. His wife's brother gave her a quilt, and the horse wanted to use it as gambling money. His wife refused and was hacked to death by a horse. Later generations believed that the Ming Dynasty died in a horse hanging.

Deng Haonan sighed in his heart, the world's best, don't be quick to gamble. There is no one in the world who loses virtue more than Bo. The most prosperous place in this Beitan Town is the Liu family gambling house in front of you. A glimpse of the whole picture shows that the gambling style of the Ming Dynasty is prosperous.

I learned from Da Niu's mouth that this gambling house has recently changed owners, and it is said that it is from Min'an Town, a neighboring county, and he only knows that his surname is Liu, and he is very rich.

Deng Haonan and Da Niu were about to crowd in, because they could find Sigou and Huzi here.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion, and then a figure was thrown out of the door.

With a thud, the man fell to the ground, and several people around him dodged with him.

"Huzi!" Da Niu recognized the man at a glance and hurriedly stepped forward to help him.

He's the tiger? Deng Haonan was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart: Didn't Wanshu say that this tiger is easy to fight? I thought it should be very strong and able to fight, but I didn't expect to be thrown out when we met for the first time!

While thinking about it, Deng Haonan hurriedly stepped forward. I saw that the tiger was not tall, about the same size as Deng Haonan, and it was only about one meter six during the development period. However, the tiger seems to have strong muscles, which should be fought in a fight. Unlike Da Niu, Huzi's nose and face were swollen at this time, but there was a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes.

The tiger saw the big cow first, and was slightly happy, presumably preparing to pull the big cow into the fight. Then when he saw Deng Haonan, he was immediately ecstatic and shouted loudly: "Brother Haonan, go to the four dogs quickly, I'm afraid it's too late to be late!" ”

No way! Deng Haonan rolled his eyes and said secretly: Didn't you ask Lao Tzu to help you fight! Now Lao Tzu's body, a small fight is still successful, and if you really move the real character, you will definitely suffer.

Deng Haonan hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with the four dogs?" ”

Huzi, with the support of the big bull, has already turned over and stood up. Hurriedly said: "The four dogs gambled with that Liu Erhei in the name of Brother Haonan, and as a result, they lost a few hundred taels of silver, Liu Erhei asked for debts, and the four dogs couldn't find you." At this time, Liu Erhei inside wanted to cut off the hands of the four dogs! ”

Meow a! Deng Haonan rolled his eyes angrily, and said in his heart: This dead dog is actually gambling outside under the banner of Lao Tzu? At present, he has not accepted him as a junior brother, he is already so arrogant and domineering, if he has some ability in the future, this girl will not turn the sky upside down?

Angry, now Deng Haonan has to count on the four dogs to give him a start! Listening to Wanshu, among his playmates, only the four dogs still have some brains, so Deng Haonan must save him now!

At that moment, Deng Haonan took Huzi and Da Niu, and the three of them hurriedly entered the gambling house.

"Buy and leave!"

"Great! Big! ”

"Small! Small! ”

……

The head of the gambling house is driven, and the sound of shouting and pressure is endless. It's so dim inside that you don't feel like time is ticking. The air was cloudy, and it looked like a miasma.

Deng Haonan took a look around, and saw a large group of people gathered near the northernmost main seat, and vaguely heard the crying father and mother begging for mercy inside, and it was expected that it must be the four dogs.

Deng Haonan glanced at Huzi, and Huzi hurriedly shouted: "Stop!" ”

The voice of the tiger was really loud, and it covered all the shouts in the entire hall, and everyone turned their eyes to Deng Haonan and the others.

The crowd hula parted suddenly, but saw that one person at the gambling table was pressed on top by two big men, the scarf above his head had fallen off, and the shawl was so good that it was not wolf. When a big man walked out, glanced at the three of them, stayed on Deng Haonan for a moment, and then said angrily to Huzi: "What? Still want to get beaten? ”

Huzi snorted coldly and said, "There is a way that tigers can't stand up to wolves!" I don't care about this with you today! Then Huzi pointed to Deng Haonan behind him and said, "This is our boss!" Come out and talk to you guys! ”

The big man snorted, glanced back, and soon a big man in green clothes came out of the back hall, about forty years old, presumably the owner of the gambling house. I only heard him say: "Finally waited for the right horn to come!" Under Liu Erhei! ”

Deng Haonan smiled bitterly in his heart, how can the whole Lao Tzu seem to be like the underworld! However, at the moment, he could only see the moves, and said to the big man in Tsing Yi at the moment: "Under Deng Haonan, that person is my brother, if there is anything you can do, you can do it!" Let my brother go first! ”

"Good! You can say that again! Liu Erhei nodded with a smile, glanced at the big man behind him, and his subordinates immediately let go of the four dogs.

The four dogs got off, and quickly ran behind Deng Haonan at the moment, and said, "Brother Haonan, you are finally here!" Brother, I almost went to the underworld for a feast! ”

After the four dogs talked about it in a wordy way, Deng Haonan also understood. It turned out that after these four dogs learned that Deng Haonan had become the foreman of the Li family's gunpowder workshop, they were thinking about borrowing some silver flowers. It's a pity that the people in the workshop didn't let him get close, and Deng Haonan's wife directly forbade the four dogs to come to the door, and Deng Haonan had no memory in his mind, so the four dogs couldn't get close to Deng Haonan, so naturally they couldn't borrow money. However, these four dogs are good gamblers, and when they saw that the gambling house had changed owners, they went in to gamble under the banner of Deng Haonan at the moment. Unexpectedly, the owner of the gambling house was very interested in Deng Haonan and was ready to use the four dogs to get close to Deng Haonan.

It's a pity that the four dogs are just she, but they can't see Deng Haonan, and after half a month, the gambling owner Liu Erhei and others are impatient, so they have to take cruel medicine and force the four dogs to pay back.

Liu Erhei originally wanted to use the four dogs to get close to Deng Haonan, but unfortunately he saw that the four dogs were just foxes and fake tigers, and in a fit of rage, he was about to chop off the hands of the four dogs. Unexpectedly, at this moment, Deng Haonan really appeared.

As soon as Liu Erhei saw Deng Haonan appear in front of him, he was full of smiles and said: "It's better to be famous than to meet, Deng Gongzi is here, and the gambling house is full of glory!" ”

"How dare you!" Deng Haonan looked at Liu Erhei in front of him and seemed to be very face-saving, and said secretly in his heart: Didn't you come for Lao Tzu's artillery skills? Thinking that the four dogs could owe hundreds of taels of silver, presumably this Liu Erhei should have deliberately fished the four dogs to take the bait!

I only heard Liu Erhei smile and said: "Since Deng Gongzi supports the four dogs, then he will make his words clear." There is a way to kill people to pay off debts and money, which is a natural thing! ”

Deng Haonan said with a smile: "This is natural, or that sentence, you draw the line, I should do it!" ”

Liu Erhei's eyes tightened, and he said in his heart: This Deng Haonan is a difficult character, which is very different from the stupidity described in the intelligence, could it be that he is deliberately showing weakness in the Li family?

smiled at the moment: "Liu Gongzi is righteous!" These four dogs owe the gambling house five hundred taels of silver! ”

Before he could finish speaking, Deng Haonan said directly: "I'll pay him back!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the gamblers around them were suddenly amazed, and they were all thinking in their hearts, this is Deng Cannon! Sure enough, he became a rich man, and he was really generous. And Sigou was stunned, he never thought that Deng Haonan would be willing to pay for him. He went to his house several times and was blocked by Deng Haonan's wife, and he thought that Deng Haonan had forgotten about them when he had money! scolded Deng Haonan in his heart for a long time! At this time, seeing that Deng Haonan was willing to pay off his debts, he was immediately moved to the ground.

I saw Liu Erhei smile slightly, and said: "Five hundred taels of silver is just the capital, counting the interest and the four dogs just lost, a total of 1,500 taels!" ”

When Sigou heard this, he immediately said angrily: "Even if you add what you lost just now, it's not as much!" ”

Deng Haonan immediately understood that this Liu Erhei would definitely not give up, if it wasn't for money, there should be other purposes. If you don't make a decision after seeing what he means, you won't be able to come up with 1,500 taels of silver now.

waved his hand to stop Sigou at the moment, and said to Liu Erhei: "How are you going?" ”

Liu Erhei replied with a smile: "It's nothing!" I have heard for a long time that Deng Gongzi has God's help in artillery and gunpowder, and I just want to make friends with you! Looking at it below, Deng Gongzi may not be able to take out 1,500 taels for the time being,"

Deng Haonan already understood that this person was coming, not for the four dogs, but for himself. At the moment, he asked, "Your way of making friends is also interesting!" It's just that I really can't come up with so much money now, and I hope that Boss Liu will give me some time! ”

Liu Erhei laughed and said, "I said that I just want to make friends with Deng Gongzi!" We are all people in the rivers and lakes, so I'll say it directly! Deng Gongzi can take people away, and the debts of the four dogs will be written off, I only hope that in the future, if there is something to ask Deng Gongzi, I hope that Deng Gongzi will sell face to us with today's love! ”

Speaking of which, Deng Haonan already understood in his heart that Liu Erhei's purpose was nothing more than to seek his own artillery technology and gunpowder formula. It's just that this Liu Erhei is not bright-minded, and he actually said it in front of everyone, but he didn't know that there must be Li Ping's eyes and ears among these gamblers, and with Li Ping's sophistication, he could naturally guess the meaning.

At this time, Deng Haonan thought about it left and right, and he couldn't offend Li Ping. After thinking about it, it is better to take the opportunity to make a big noise, give Li Ping a wake-up call, and improve his treatment!

After thinking about it, Deng Haonan smiled and said: "There is a problem in the next place, I have never liked to owe others favors!" There are all brothers in the four seas, Brother Liu, please draw the next road! ”

With a buzz, the people in the gambling house turned their heads one after another, obviously surprised by Deng Haonan's answer.

Liu Erhei stared at Deng Haonan for a while, he never expected Deng Haonan to answer him like this. That is, he did not refute his face, he was commensurate with his brother, and he politely rejected his kindness, which was really just right and irrefutable.

"What a brother from all over the world!" Liu Erhei laughed, took the opportunity to hide his surprise and gaffe, and said: "Just say this to Brother Deng, Erhei has made you a friend!" Then he said: "It's just that the country has its own laws, and there are rules!" The debts of the four dogs are going to be settled today, and if Brother Deng can't come up with 1,500 taels of silver, he will cut off his hands according to the rules! ”

"Brother Haonan, save me!" The four dogs suddenly wilted like dead dogs, begging bitterly.

Deng Haonan smiled and said in his heart: Since this Liu Erhei wants to ask for himself, he knows that Sigou is his brother, and he will definitely not really cut off Sigou's hands. Otherwise, once that is done, this door will be completely blocked, and we will simply see what other means he has!

Sure enough, Liu Erhei saw Deng Haonan smiling and silent, and muttered in his heart, don't make trouble with him! Immediately said: "Since Deng Gongzi doesn't want to owe a debt of favor, how about we gamble?" ”

Deng Haonan nodded and asked, "It's okay!" ”

Liu Erhei was obviously very sure, and said with a smile: "If Deng Gongzi wins, you will take it away, and the gambling debts will be written off!" If you win by luck, you will also take it away, but Deng Gongzi will owe him a favor! ”

Deng Haonan snorted and said, "How to win or lose, you will only know after betting!" ”

"Good! Joyfully! Liu Erhei seemed to have a chance to win, and said clamorgy: "Deng Gongzi is a guest, what kind of gambling method is determined by Deng Gongzi himself, and the old and young masters present will give a witness, and the province will say that I Liu Erhei is unfair!" ”

"Good! Deal! Deng Haonan looked at Liu Erhei with a smile, which made Liu Erhei feel bottomless.

Liu Erhei thought to himself that there should be nothing wrong with the intelligence, this Deng Haonan's gambling skills are a mess, and he should not go on a business trip. At that moment, the two walked to the gambling table in a commotion.

※※※

When Deng Haonan said his new gambling method - 'bragging', the gamblers were first surprised, and then became interested.

Liu Erhei thought to himself, isn't it just a dice roll? How do you want to get out of a thousand or not get your hands on it? He sneered at the moment: "Okay! If we use our casino method to win you, I'm afraid you won't admit it! Then the two of us will use your method to gamble and let you lose convincingly! ”

"Slow!" Deng Haonan interrupted him and said, "It's not the two of us who are gambling, but one of the people present who came up to bet!" Then he said: "This kind of gambling method is very simple, everyone comes up to gamble together, so it's fairer!" ”

Deng Haonan bit the word "fair" very tightly, which made everyone subconsciously worry that Liu Er's black would be out of the blue, so they were biased towards Deng Haonan's words.

Out of helplessness, Liu Erhei had no choice but to agree to Deng Haonan's proposal, and ordered someone to set up a long table in the hall, but only twenty pairs of dice were prepared, and eighteen gamblers were called to accompany him.

Deng Haonan and Liu Erhei sat on the two main seats, and the other eighteen people sat on the left and right sides respectively, each holding a dice cup and putting three dice inside.

At the gaming table, there is "rationality", which means reasonableness and fairness. It's not the "Lizheng" of the village official, but the equivalent of a modern dealer.

After checking everyone's dice, he announced that he would start "bragging".

For a while, twenty dice cups and sixty dice rang out, echoing throughout the hall, stimulating everyone's nerve cells.

Bang Bang Bang!

Deng Haonan first buckled the dice cup on the table, and then Liu Erhei also buckled the dice cup, and after a while, all twenty people finished rolling the dice. Everyone glanced at their own dice, then left the table with their hands and began to brag.
