Chapter 131: Out of the Old Thousands (I)
After Ogata and Manomiya stepped into the gambling hall, everyone in the gambling hall immediately focused their attention on these two newcomers.
After glancing at Ogata and Mamiya, they took their gaze back.
The gamblers then gambled, and the pot vibrated and then shook the dice.
Even when they saw Ogata and Manomiya with a knife stuck in their left waist, they were unmoved—it was enough that they were used to the sight of samurai entering and exiting the casino.
Manomiya led Ogata and walked directly towards the two futons in the middle.
The two futons in the middle are already making two strong men who are five big and three thick.
"I'm sorry." The palace said bluntly to the two strong men, "Can you please give up your position?" ”
The two strong men turned their heads and looked up and down the palace with displeased eyes.
After seeing the saber on the waist of the palace, a little fear flashed on the faces of the two.
In the end, the two strong men reluctantly gave up the two futons in the middle and ran to sit elsewhere.
After the two strong men left, Mamiya unceremoniously knelt on one of the futons and beckoned Ogata to sit on the other futon beside him.
Every window of the casino was covered with curtains, making the interior of the casino unusually dark.
Obviously, it was still daylight, and they could only use candles to illuminate the scene, so that they could barely see the scene in the gambling hall.
The candlelight reflected the gamblers gathered around the "single" and "double", casting their figures on the mottled wall behind them, swaying with the candlelight.
Looking at the large pieces of paper with "single" or "double" written on the ground in front of him, Ogata secretly said in his heart:
- Better than odds and doubles...... I'll play with this......
The gambling at this casino is a little simpler than Ogata had imagined.
Odds and evens are the only gambling games that Ogata can play.
When Ogata and Mamiya join the game, the previous game has just ended, and a new game is about to begin.
Hu Zhen, who was sitting in front of Ogata and the others, was a young man.
He was undressed, only a white crotch cloth that exposed his tight skin and muscles.
It has a large number of tattoos on its body.
Ogata couldn't recognize what the young man had tattooed on, but he could barely see that there were many animals on it, including tigers and monkeys.
In addition to animals, there seem to be a lot of things that resemble ghosts.
This large tattoo covers nearly 70% of the skin on his body, which looks very harmful.
Ogata could be assured that if the young man went to the street to buy something from a vendor wearing only a crotch cloth, the vendor might not even dare to take his money.
A new gamble begins.
Sitting next to the pot Zhen, after taking the dice and checking it, he shouted:
"Shake!"
With a "pop", the pot shook three dice made of antlers into a barnacle wrapped in a layer of stickers, and then shook them up and down, left and right, with skillful movements.
The gamblers were like hungry carnivores, staring at the barnacles that were swaying up and down in Hu Zhen's hands with bloodshot eyes.
Their fiery gaze? They are about to burn a hole in the barnacle in Hu Zhen's hand.
How many gamblers still put their hands in their ears? I want to hear the movement of the dice in the barnacle.
Only Ogata and Manomiya looked casual, and they didn't care at all how many dice in the barnacles were.
The last "bang"? Hu Zhen slaps the barnacle containing the dice on the ground.
Let go of the hand holding the barnacle? Hu Zhen spread his hands and made a "please" movement? And said loudly:
"Please!"
Gamblers take out their money one after another and throw it on "single" or "double" paper.
After sitting down on the futon? The palace crossed his hands? Reach into Haori's sleeve.
After starting to deposit money, Mamiya turned his head in the direction of Ogata and whispered in a voice that only he and Ogata could hear:
"Ogata-kun, do you think it's single or double?"
"How do I know if it's single or double." Ogata said angrily? "What if I had the ability to know what the dice were? I have long made a fortune from gambling money. ”
"The dice in the pot are now doubles."
"How do you know?" Ogata cast a puzzled look at the palace.
"Intuition."
With that, the right hand that had been reaching into Haori's left sleeve from just now stretched out.
As his right hand came out of Haori's left sleeve, he held two things in his right palm—two large pieces of gold.
Without hesitation, the palace threw the two large judgments on the paper with "double" written in front of him.
After the two big judgments landed, the sound of "hissing" gasps immediately sounded in the gambling hall.
The rest of the gamblers could only come up with some copper coins, and very few took out silver.
These 2 big sentences in the palace? This casino is particularly eye-catching.
"Open!" Zhongpan shouted angrily.
After the words of the middle basin fell, the pot vibrated and lifted the barnacles? Revealing the appearance of 3 dice under barnacles.
4, 4, 6 - 14 o'clock, double.
The gamblers who had just bet their money on the "order" let out a cry of sorrow.
The gamblers who had bet their money on the "double" cheered.
"Looks like I had some luck today."
Mamiya whispered to Ogata? While collecting the money you just won.
……
……
Mamiya and Ogata participated in 4 gambling games in one go.
Ogata couldn't figure out if Mamiya was just luck or if he had the ability to tell how many dice were in a barnacle.
These 4 games in which they participated? They all won.
In the twinkling of an eye? The two of them won a lot of money.
The whole game is the participation of the palace.
And Ogata basically holds his arms the whole time? Watching the palace gambling there.
While watching the gambling money in the palace, Ogata was also silently observing the security of this gambling house.
According to Ogata's observations, there are four guards in this gambling hall.
The four guards stood in the four corners of the casino.
The four guards were bored and in a daze.
Or watch with interest as the gamblers gamble there.
It is worth mentioning that these 4 guards all wore knives and wakis around their waists.
Presumably a ronin hired by the Negishi family.
Now this world is full of wanderers who have no fixed place to live and have no food to eat.
As long as you can make a decent commission, there are many ronins who are willing to be your thugs.
Unfortunately - no matter what Ogata looked like, he couldn't find anything that looked like a big guy in this casino.
The staff of this gambling hall seems to be the only one who is Hu Zhen, Zhong Pen, and these 4 guards.
Soon, a new round of gambling began.
After checking the dice in the middle basin, the pot vibrated to take the dice from the middle basin's hand.
But this time, a strange smile flashed on Hu Zhen's face.
