Chapter Thirty-Eight: A Knife for Nothing

Boss Wu didn't take care of the square ball, but looked at Wang Mang and said, "This son, do you want this stone?"

"How did you do this?" Fang Qiu saw that Boss Wu didn't agree to him, but asked Wang Mang, and immediately shouted: "I bought this stone for 200,000 yuan, why do you ask this poor ghost to do?"

"The rules of the gambling stone field, this is a matter of who comes first and who comes first. Boss Wu glanced at Fang Qiu and said, "This son asked first, of course he has to buy it first, he doesn't want it, so it's your turn." ”

"You're a man...... I don't make any money. Fang Qiu was furious.

Wang Mang showed a look of struggle on his face, and pretended to ask Li Lan and the others again, and finally shook his head and said, "200,000 is too expensive, I don't have so much money now." ”

"Forget it. Boss Wu then looked at Fang Qiu and said, "This son, 200,000, this stone is yours." ”

Fang Qiu's face was overjoyed, and he teased Wang Mang and the others: "A few poor ghosts are embarrassed to come to play with stones, and they don't have 200,000 yuan, so they are embarrassed to bet with me?"

Ziliang didn't understand Wang Mang's behavior, and couldn't figure out what Wang Mang was doing, and Li Zhe, who had been following Wang Mang and the others, seemed to understand something because he had been messing around in the casino for a long time, so he walked to Wang Mang's side and said, "You seem to be deliberately stirring up the square ball just now?"

Wang Mang glanced at Li Zhe, and secretly gave Li Zhe a thumbs up: "You are quite smart, why did you play this back then?"

"It's hard to say!" Li Zhe nodded abruptly, and said: "You haven't said it yet, with my years of experience, this half of the material can definitely open a good spirit stone, and although I am not interested in the Nangong family, but the identification technique of the Nangong family is still very powerful, basically with an accuracy rate of more than 70 percent, what good is it for you to buy the stone like this?

"I don't think there's anything good going on in this piece of material. Wang Mang smiled and said, "Of course, this is just my feeling, and I don't know if I know it yet." ”

said that it was a feeling, but in fact, Da Hei reminded that Da Hei just said that this half of the material only had the breath of the spirit stone on the surface, and there would be no aura if he went inside, and Da Hei patted his chest and assured that the fist stone he got from Li Zhe was much heavier than the aura of this half-material.

Of course, the most important thing is that although this piece of half material is good, but Wang Mang has no money to buy it, and when he came out of the palace, Wang Mang actually brought a few thousand taels of silver, but he really didn't bring more than a hundred thousand taels of silver, saying that he had 150,000 on his body was just fooling the square ball.

In fact, if Wang Mang really has silver on his body, he will not buy this piece of semi-material, according to Da Hei's statement, the big rockery-like stone, the aura in it is very amazing, and it is the heaviest stone in this gambling house.

At this time, Fang Qiu said: "Boy, the master here will choose this stone as the stone for our gambling game, what about your stone? You can't afford it, right?"

"It's just that you can't afford it when you look at this kid. ”

"What do you know, Fang Gongzi bought such a spirit stone for 200,000 yuan, this stone is so big, how can you say that there must be at least an inch of spirit stone, how to say that an inch of spirit stone of this level is worth 100,000 taels, and that stone in this game can guarantee to dig out 100,000 taels of spirit stones?

"Why are you so optimistic, can't you gamble?"

"No matter how bad it is, there is a limit, haven't you looked at this piece of semi-material, even Master Nangong is very optimistic?"

"That is, Master Nangong is the most powerful stone appraiser in our Great Qin, how can there be a problem with the stone he is optimistic about. ”

Fang Qiu listened to the discussion around him, and couldn't help but feel more proud, looked at Wang Mang and said: "Boy, if you admit defeat now, I just need you to kowtow and call grandpa, and get through the crotch of grandpa, and you don't want this arm." ”

"You ......" Li Lan was furious and scolded: "You kid is looking for death!"

"Li Lan, let's not be like this kind of person. Wang Mang smiled and said, "What is there to learn from a dead man." ”

"Boy, who do you say is dead. Fang Qiu said angrily.

"Whoever is seated is who he is. Wang Mang smiled.

"Okay, okay, I don't allow you to admit defeat in advance now, and I won't lower the bet, you're dead. Fang Qiu shouted: "Anyway, now that my stone has been settled, what about your stone?"

"My?" Wang Mang smiled and said, "I have already prepared the stone." ”

"Ready?" everyone looked at Wang Mang with puzzled expressions.

"You kid cheats people and changes places, who doesn't look at you all the time, when did you buy the stones?" Fang Qiu frowned and said: "You are not allowed to cheat, we said at the beginning, just the stones of this gambling house, you are not allowed to take them out." ”

"The heart of a villain is the belly of a gentleman!" Wang Mang snorted, pointed to the box Li Lan was holding and said, "My stone is here." ”

"Here?" Fang Qiu looked at the box in Li Lan's hand, and suddenly said, "Aren't you talking about those two pieces of waste, are you joking with me?"

"Who is kidding you. Wang Mang smiled, took out the fist-sized stone from the box, and said, "Anyway, I'll use this stone to bet with you, do you dare?"

"I don't dare?" Fang Qiu laughed and said: "You bet with me with a scrap, it's like sending it to the door to admit defeat, why don't I gamble, it seems that I am really not mistaken, you are a poor ghost, Lao Tzu will win." ”

Wang Mang didn't care about the arrogance of the square ball, he didn't feel the need to care about a dead person, looking at Li Zhe beside him, Wang Mang asked, "Can you cut stones?"

"Yes. Li Zhe seemed to realize something, nodded a little excitedly, and said: "I have been making gambling stones for many years, and I have long learned how to cut stones, but I generally don't do it, but the technique is very good." ”

"Just understand. Wang Mang handed over the big stone to Li Zhe, and said: "This stone comes from your hand, I hope it is finally your hand, but you regret it in your life, you will cut this stone." ”

"Really let me cut?" Li Zhe pursed his lips, a little nervous and a little expectant.

"If you say you want to cut, you will cut it. Wang Mang said.

"Okay, Gongzi Xie believes in me, I will definitely live up to Gongzi's trust. Li Zhe arched his hand and said with a face full of thanks.

Fang Qiu looked at all this and said, "What's the matter, you still plan to cut first, are you afraid that you won't lose early enough?"

"You have to cut it anyway, what's the difference between cutting first and cutting early. Wang Mang smiled: "What, don't you plan to cut it now?"

"Cut. Fang Qiu said loudly: "I don't like you to pick up someone from the side of the road to cut, I found the most famous cutter in the gambling house to cut the stone, and the master will arrive soon." ”

Wang Mang didn't care, and instructed Li Zhe: "When you cut it for a while, think carefully, this stone is now very small, and you can't move the big knife, wait for the small knife to be sharpened slowly." ”

"I understand. Li Zhe nodded, and then instructed his subordinates to take a toolbox from the original stall, open the toolbox, take out a small knife in his hand, take a deep breath, wave the knife in his hand, and cut it on the stone, a thin layer of gray stone fell to the ground with a snap, and then a dazzling white appeared in front of people.

"It's white!"

There was an exclamation from the crowd of onlookers eating melons.
