Chapter 14: Feng Shui Treasure

Treasure House. It is a famous big casino in Gangnam. Jubaolou, naturally, is full of gold and silver treasures, but the winner is not the gambler who comes here, but the big dealer of Jubaolou. I heard that Jubaolou once made a profit of one million taels of gold in one day and one night, but I don't know if it's true.

Ye Sheng walked into the three-story building, and as soon as he entered the door, there was a rush of heat from the crowd. The atmosphere here was boiling, coupled with the crazy and uncontrollable shouts of those gamblers, Ye Sheng almost lost his ears in both ears. "Big big!" "Tiny!" The jagged shouts were endless, Ye Sheng looked at the gambling situation one table after another, and slowly walked towards the staircase leading to the second floor.

The casino is as chaotic and smoky as the Qinglou, the Qinglou employs thugs, and the casino is even more indispensable, several men with black belts and black robes guarding the stairs blocked Ye Sheng's way, and glanced at Ye Sheng, who was white and low, they couldn't help but smile contemptuously, "Hey, Baiyi, the second floor is a VIP table, with your value, you can play on the first floor." ”

"Oh?" Ye Sheng smiled, looked at the four thugs who were a head taller than him, and asked, "The little one didn't play for a long time, what does the three floors of the Treasure Building mean?" "What a rookie! Listen, if you have less than ten taels of chips, gamble on the first floor! There are 100 taels of silver as chips on the second floor! As for the third floor, you just have to weigh it in your own heart! ”

A big man stretched out his hand and pushed Ye Sheng, wanting to put an end to his idea of going upstairs. Ye Sheng's hand was raised, and the silver ticket of one thousand taels handed over to him by Ma Rulong lay in the palm of his hand, "According to what you say, can I, a person with one thousand taels of chips, go up to three floors?" ”

The four big men were shocked, and after being stunned, they looked at the white belt on Ye Sheng's waist, and then looked at this genuine silver ticket, it was really pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, and the real person did not show his face. "It turned out to be a distinguished guest, please on the third floor!" The four big men bowed their heads and invited, Ye Sheng smiled, left the noisy and chaotic floor, climbed up step by step, and came to the third floor of the Treasure Building.

The third floor of this treasure building is much more comfortable than the first floor, the hollow carved windows let in warm sunlight, it is spacious and clean, and the tables and chairs exude a faint sandalwood fragrance. The layout here is far more than the upstairs on the first floor, and it is worthy of being a VIP seat.

A black-clothed young man greeted him, his chest was still embroidered with the gold silk words 'Jubaolou', he glanced at the silver ticket in Ye Sheng's hand with a smile, and asked in a low voice, "This boy is very raw, is it the first time to come?" Do you want to play dice or bet on bets, mahjong, or bet on horses and crickets? ”

"It's okay to bet on horses?" Ye Sheng smiled dumbly and glanced at the inside of this building, although it was spacious and magnificent, but he couldn't put a horse in this building, right? The black-shirted boy greeted people with a smile, "Childe has looked down on our treasure building!" We have a wide range of business operations, not to mention betting on horses, and even signing life and death competitions to gamble on life! It depends on whether the son is interested! ”

"I don't understand anything, so let's have something simple, dice." Ye Sheng's eyes rolled, and he had already caught a glimpse of one of the tables. Six or seven men sat there quietly drinking tea and placing bets, while the dealer who shook the dice was gently swaying the ivory dice cup, and when he landed on the table, he bought and left.

Open the box, one, two, three, six points small, bet on the bet on the guest full of joy smile, and a blink of an eye lost a hundred taels, a thousand taels of the guest is arrogant and squandering, eyes do not blink, and then bet on. Interesting. Ye Sheng smiled and came up and glanced at the dealer who was shaking the dice.

He is young, powerful, and most importantly, his fingers are slender and neat. Such a pair of similar hands, Ye Sheng had seen in another person, that is, his master Situ Xingchen, who had just worshipped. This dice shaker has some work in his hands, but he is definitely not as good as Situ Xingchen's.

This sandalwood table is square and wide, Ye Sheng found a corner to sit down, and immediately Xiaosheng came up to the front to make tea. Ye Sheng's participation in white clothes was eye-catching, and everyone at the table couldn't help but glance at him, with disdain and surprise.

That's right, the guests sitting at this table are all gentry with heads and faces in the south of the Yangtze River, or people from the rivers and lakes who have traveled south and north and have thousands of dollars in their pockets, spending a lot of money is like a cow and a horse for them, but Ye Sheng's shabby appearance does not match the temperament of any of the guests at this table.

However, when Ye Sheng took out the one thousand taels of silver tickets, everyone withdrew their eyes and looked at the dice cup intently. "I want to ask, how many are there yet?" Ye Sheng looked at the dealer with a smile, and the young man with a short head said expressionlessly, "After opening a big one, there are already three small ones in a row." ”

"So are there leopards?" Ye Sheng asked, the leopard, that is, the three dice are all six-six-six. The dealer put his hand on the dice cup without moving, shook his head expressionlessly, and next to him, a middle-aged man in brocade clothes and a big belly sneered, "It's really a layman, is the leopard so easy to open!" Your uncle and I have been sitting here since this morning, losing 180,000 taels of silver, and I haven't seen a leopard yet! ”

"Hugh is going to talk nonsense." Ye Shengwen glanced at the middle-aged man with a smile, "My uncle was brutally murdered when I was one year old, you can't be my uncle." Everyone laughed, and even the young man who was shaking the dice couldn't help but laugh on his face, "Bosses, please place a bet." ”

There are many words painted on the table, there are 'big' and 'small', there are 'leopards' and there are also the same eighteen points, and people who are addicted to gambling all year round will never bet on points, because the odds of winning are too small. They prefer to make a profit rather than lose money, even though they never think that gambling is a game where the dealer is sure to win.

These richly dressed and well-dressed guests at the table placed bets one after another, four bet on the big and three on the small, looking at their handwriting, at least one thousand taels of silver. In the eyes of ordinary people, this is ten days' wages. Ye Sheng also followed suit, but after the 1,000 taels of silver ticket was settled, it caused ridicule from the people at the same table.

Because, Ye Sheng actually bet on the leopard. What is the probability of three sixes appearing in three dice? A few in ten probabilities! Although the leopard has the highest odds of 18 to 18, no one has ever bet on the leopard so rashly.

"I'm afraid this white cloth is the fastest person to lose all the chips and leave the treasure building." One sneered, and the crowd laughed. Ye Shengze's face did not change, and he turned a deaf ear to the contempt of others, "I have made a good bet, you can start." ”

The dealer who shook the dice nodded expressionlessly and began to shake the dice cup violently. The dice tinkle inside and sound real but a little unreliable. In the rivers and lakes, there are many strange things. There was once a gold belt master, who cut off a corner of the Forbidden City with a sword to demonstrate to Emperor Tang Qing; There was also an oil seller who took a gourd and put it on the ground, covered his mouth with money, and Xu used a ladle to drain the oil, and entered it from the money hole, and the money was not wet; There were even weak scholars who masked their faces and wrote a long piece of "The Mean" on rice paper.

All kinds of feats of civilization only reveal a simple thing, practice makes perfect! The same goes for the dealer who shakes the dice, he doesn't like to gamble, but he is a master of shaking the dice. The dice that were shaken out of his hand were as many as he wanted. He only shakes the dice day after day, year after year, and is known as the ghost three-handed in the capital. It wasn't until last year that he was dug up to Jiangnan by the boss of Jubaolou and became an unknown person.

No guest would have thought that this ordinary, unremarkable young man in front of him would be a master of playing dice. Otherwise, will they still be convinced? One of the three hands of the ghost held the dice cup in his right hand and covered the three dice, shaking from side to side.

The tinkling of the dice made the guests' hearts tickle, and the guests present were all engrossed in their eyes and praying with their own beliefs and self-talk that the dice would be as they hoped.

While! The dice cup fell on the table, and the ghost glanced at the guests with three hands, and reminded indifferently, "Buy and leave!" Usually after saying this, he has to highlight the number. Ye Sheng, who had been silent, slapped the table with his right hand, got up excitedly, and then folded his hands and closed his eyes in prayer, "Leopard!" Leopard! Leopard! ”

The ghost san smiled in his palm, and the dice he shook with his own hands naturally knew how it could be a leopard. Four people bet on the big and three people bet on the small, so the ghost three hands naturally follow the rules and open the points to a few people, so this one should be two, three, four, nine points small.

The ghost took the dice cup confidently with three hands, and then, his face froze. The guests present were all exclaimed, and then, the whole table was silent, because the dice lying quietly on the wooden table were three sixes up! Leopard!

"How is that possible! You! A young man in a silk and gold silk robe pointed at Ye Sheng, and wanted to scold him angrily, but after thinking about it carefully, Ye Sheng sat so far away, how could he have a chance to make a thousand? Could it be luck? Everyone didn't believe it, most of them had been sitting here for several hours, some losing and some winning, but Ye Sheng was hit by the leopard as soon as he came, it was too evil!

Many guests even looked at Ghost Sanshou with suspicious eyes, guessing that he and Ye Sheng were in the same group. But after seeing the ugly face of the ghost three hands, they were relieved, and they didn't look like they were embarrassed. The fingers pinching the dice cup trembled slightly, and the ghost three hands glanced at Ye Sheng sharply, and now he realized that he understood the meaning of Ye Sheng's slap on the table at the beginning.

This boy in white slapped the table and skillfully flicked the dice in his dice cup, becoming the three sixes he wanted! You've met a master! The ghost three hands couldn't help but look at Ye Sheng's right hand, which was slender and powerful, and even his wrist was a little red and swollen. It seems that it is a symptom after being in a hurry to practice.

"Three sixes, the leopard wins." The ghost three hands retracted his expression, pretended to be calm and lowered his arms, and paid all the 18,000 taels to Ye Sheng. Ye Sheng was overjoyed, holding the eighteen silver tickets and touching his sandalwood stool, and said to himself, "Could it be that this is a treasure of feng shui?" ”
