(Thanks to Xiaoyao Xixi for rewarding 100 Quge www.biquge.info coins)

To be honest, Zhu Rusan really doesn't want to be this dealer, not to mention that this gambling game will cost people's lives, but things have come to this point, it is no longer something he can choose, since he has to do this dealer to the end, he looked left and right at both sides, and said: "Okay, since both parties have agreed, then the gambling continues!" ”

"Mr. Zhu, please wait a moment!" Xiao Zhenlei turned to Qin Liankui who was standing nearby and arched his hand: "Presumably this is Qin Liankui and Qin Dazhuo who are famous in Shanghai, right?" ”

Qin Liankui hurriedly returned the courtesy and said politely: "Don't dare, don't dare, the contemptible law firm has just opened, and it can't be called a famous beach!" ”

Xiao Zhenlei just wanted to be familiar with Qin Liankui, and he might have to ask Qin Liankui for help when he acted in the concession in the future, now that he has a friendship, it will be easy to talk when he meets in the future, he turned to Matsuyama Ichiro and said: "Mr. Matsuyama, this kind of thing involves human life, and it is a private gambling game, I think it is better to find a notary public for notarization, since you want to gamble on your life, then we can't help but make a contract, both sides sign a life and death certificate, no matter who wins or loses the gambling game, they can't complain about others, I heard that among the nobles of Western countries, It is also allowed to initiate a duel between private individuals, and in our Qing Dynasty, there must be a duel between the two sides to sign a life and death certificate as evidence, notarized by a notary, the winner can personally result in the loser's life, can also require the loser to end his own life, if the winner does not want the loser to die, you can ask the loser to be a slave for the rest of his life, if the losing party defaults, the notary must appeal to the Concession Trial Court (Concession Court), which will be supervised by the Trial Officer, there happens to be a lawyer here, Qin Liankui lawyer, I think you have heard of it, so I propose that lawyer Qin Liankui should be the notary, no matter which side wins, he must pay him 10% of the gambling cash at the table as a lawyer's service remuneration, do you have any opinions? ”

Matsuyama Ichiro looked at Qin Liankui, the three brothers discussed, and Matsuyama Ichiro nodded on behalf of the other two: "Okay, we agree!" ”

"Lawyer Qin, I don't know what you think?" Xiao Zhenlei asked.

Qin Liankui doesn't have much money now, and his fame is not as big as it was later, with such a generous remuneration and the opportunity to become famous, of course he will not let it go, he helped his glasses and said: "Okay, since both of you can afford me Qin Liankui, and are willing to pay my lawyer's service fee with 10% of the gambling cash on the gambling table as a reward, of course I am willing to be this notary, I will draft a life and death document now, and the three of us will sign it into effect!" ”

Yan Laojiu ordered someone to prepare the paper and ink treasure, and they were quickly delivered, and everyone knew that this gamble must end with the death of one of them!

.......Qin Liankui quickly wrote the life and death statement on the paper with a fountain pen, read it carefully after writing one, considered it for a few minutes, and then copied two copies, a total of three copies, first handed over the three life and death certificates to both parties to sign each other, and after the two sides of the gambling game signed it, he wrote his name under the notary.

After both sides of the gambling game and the notary signed the letter of life and death, Qin Liankui, as a notary, sent one to both parties, put away the other one, and then said loudly: "Okay, everyone, now the life and death certificate is officially effective, and my Qin Liankui law firm will officially take over the relevant legal affairs, and I will supervise the notarization as a notary public throughout the process, and the loser must fulfill the gambling contract, otherwise I will sue the concession to try the public office, once the matter is big, I am afraid that it will not only be the parties who lose face, but the entire country and nation behind them, It doesn't matter if you harm yourself, don't disgrace your country! ”

In fact, the trial court is equivalent to the court, which is a special institution in the concession, and is a special judicial organ established in a special period and special area in the history of Shanghai. According to the agreement between the Chinese and foreign parties, if the case involves a foreigner or a Chinese servant hired by a foreigner, the foreign consul shall participate in the trial or observe the trial; Cases involving purely Chinese are adjudicated by Chinese counsellors alone.

There is 1 chief examiner in charge of public affairs, 6 deputy examiners to handle criminal and civil cases, and a secretariat, Huayang Criminal Division, Huawu Civil Division, and Foreign Affairs Division, and a file management room. The jury is a foreign consul. With the continuous expansion of the concession, the Shanghai Anglo-American Concession Trial Office was renamed the Shanghai Public Concession Trial Office, and the adjudication power was actually controlled by the trial judge, and there was no appeal.

The lethality of Qin Liankui's words is too great, even if the loser wants to repay the debt, he must also think about the consequences of the debt, which will make the whole country lose face, and the three brothers of Songshan were all nervous when they heard this. , but Saburo Matsuyama remembered something, his mood suddenly relaxed, and a confident smile appeared on his face.

At this time, it was Zhu Rusan's turn to perform his duties, he saw that everything was done, and he attracted everyone's attention loudly, "Both sides of the gambling game, all the audience, now return to the topic, the gambling game continues, all the five cards in this game have been issued, both sides have placed bets, just waiting for the final result of the gambling game, now please show the hole cards on both sides!" ”

When the words fell, everyone else in the casino looked at Xiao Zhenlei, and then at Matsuyama Ichiro, only to see Matsuyama Ichiro reach out and pick up his hole cards and spread them out on the table, it was a square Q, and the whole card was three Qs, a spade A, and a spade K, he laughed and said: "Zhina pig, unless you get the plum Q, you will lose, I don't believe your luck will be so good!" ”

Xiao Zhenlei smiled and said: "To be honest, I only glanced at the hole cards in a hurry, and I didn't see it clearly at all, as for what my hole cards are, let's all wait and see!" ”

After that, Xiao Zhenlei picked up the cards on the table and rubbed them open, and the fast, Ma Xiaoshuang, and Yan Laojiu behind him saw with their own eyes that the hole card turned out to be a plum 9, but Xiao Zhenlei closed the cards and rubbed them open again and turned into a plum blossom Q.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ichiro Matsuyama, my hole card is really a club Q!" Xiao Zhenlei turned over the hole cards and spread them on the table.

The only Q was really obtained by Xiao Zhenlei, which made Matsuyama Ichiro unacceptable, his expression was glazed, his eyes were blank, and he muttered to himself: "Impossible, impossible, this is not true, not true!" ”

Matsuyama Saburo shouted even more: "Cheating, you must have cheated, otherwise how could you have taken the plum blossom Q?" ”

Not to mention the three Songshan brothers, even Qin Liankui, Lu Shaotang, Zhong Kecheng, Zhu Rusan, A Ghost and some people in the casino did not believe that Xiao Zhenlei would have such good luck to get Plum Blossom Q, but the facts are the facts, even if Xiao Zhenlei has the legendary illusion, it is impossible to confuse everyone's eyes.

Xiao Zhenlei said coldly: "In fact, it's such a coincidence, my hole card is the plum Q, this is an undeniable fact, and, Mr. Matsuyama Saburo, it's best not to chew the root of your tongue without evidence, if you have evidence of my cheating, please take it out, otherwise please shut up!" ”

After that, Xiao Zhenlei looked at Zhu Rusan and Qin Liankui and said: "Boss Zhu, Lawyer Qin, one of you is a dealer and arbitrator, and the other is a notary public of the gambling game, please announce the result of the gambling game now!" ”

Zhu Rusan and Qin Liankui nodded, and Zhu Rusan, as a dealer and arbitrator, announced on the spot: "Now that the gambling game is over, the results have come out, and I announce that the winner is Mr. Xiao Zhenlei!" As the loser, the lives of the three Songshan brothers are no longer in their own hands, and Mr. Xiao Zhenlei has the right to decide their life and death! ”

Xiao Zhenlei stared at the three Songshan brothers with a cold face, and asked Zhu Rusan: "Boss Zhu, can I kill them with my own hands now?" ”
