Chapter 161: Heavenly King's Gamble
Gong Hai hesitated for a moment and said: "It's been more than ten years since this incident, and there are very few people who know the inside story, and several parties involved in that gambling game are also dead, caught, and fled, and few people know what happened." But I did hear a friend mention the inside story. ”
Liu Chuanfeng's eyes widened when he heard this, he only knew that his father owed them a debt that their mother and son couldn't get back in their lives, and he had also asked his mother several times what kind of gambling game his father participated in back then, Wang Juan had been secretive about this, but he didn't expect Gong Hai to know the inside story.
"Brother Hai, you already knew about this?" Liu Chuanfeng stared at Gong Hai and said.
Gong Hai avoided Liu Chuanfeng's direct eyes in a little panic, and said in a snort: "I'm also hearsay, there are too many versions of rumors about that gamble, and no one can tell which one is true." ”
Liu Chuanfeng asked, "What does your friend know about the inside story?" ”
Gong Hai suddenly braked suddenly, and the two people couldn't help but rush forward, only to see a stray cat appear in the middle of the road illuminated by the headlights, and the sloppy flower cat turned its head to look at them, slowly walked through the street, and disappeared into the shadows of the building.
Gong Hai sighed, restarted the car, and continued: "Ten years ago, we had a thrilling gamble in Bincheng, called the 'Heavenly King's Life and Death Game'. ”
"The life and death of the Heavenly King?" Liu Chuanfeng couldn't help but repeat it.
Gong Hai nodded: "The Heavenly King's Life and Death Game is that the seven gambling kings with the highest gambling skills in the nearby six cities and one town gather together to compete for the title of the strongest gambling saint." And your father Liu Jianping, who was the recognized gambling king in Bincheng, was also invited to participate in this shocking gamble. ”
Liu Chuanfeng wondered: "My father is the gambling king? ”
Gong Hai nodded: "Back then, your father Liu Jianping had superb gambling skills, and no one was invincible in Bincheng. It's just that after that battle, everyone remembers that he lost his fortune, but no one mentions his glory back then. ”
Liu Chuanfeng said gloomily: "What happened later? ”
Gong Hai thought for a while and said: "If you want to participate in this Heavenly King's life and death game back then, in addition to first-class gambling skills, you must also prepare 5 million entry gambling books - 5 million, which was an astronomical amount back then, your father couldn't take out the money, but he really wanted to participate in this gambling game."
During that time, he happened to have bad luck in gambling, lost several big games, and owed a lot of money to the outside, he wanted to rely on this king of life and death to turn the book, so he raised money at all costs, not only mortgaged his house, but also raised money with relatives and friends, everyone he knew, almost everyone borrowed it.
Because Liu Jianping was very generous when he was rich, and many people also believed in his gambling skills, plus he was able to speak well, and promised an amazingly high interest, so many people were willing to lend him money, I heard that some people lent him money from bank loans, and some people borrowed money from loan sharks and then lent him to participate in gambling...... The day before the opening of the gambling game, he finally raised 5 million. ”
Liu Chuanfeng couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this description, he didn't expect his father to be so heartbroken in order to participate in this heavenly king's life and death situation, and what was the mentality of those who lent him money?
Liu Chuanfeng suddenly thought that there was a distant relative in the countryside who came to ask for the debt, and he knelt at the door for the New Year and cried bitterly and begged for repayment, saying that it was to raise the 30,000 yuan and sell the old sow with cubs at home.
"But he still lost." Liu Chuanfeng lowered his head and said.
Gong Hai glanced at Liu Chuanfeng and continued: "This game of life and death of the king is divided into three days, the first day is mahjong, the second day is pai gow, and the third day is stud, and the rules are very simple: whoever loses all the money first will be out. The rest are the biggest winners!
In the first two days of the Heavenly King game, there were people who kept losing all and were eliminated, and your father persevered until the third day of the stud game, which was what he was best at. There were only two people left at the table. “
