Gambling Emperor Zhai was founded in the last years of the Qing Dynasty. At first, it was just a small gambling house on the side of the street. The name is not called "Gambling Emperor Zhai", but "Gambling Zhai".

It is said that the owner of the gambling restaurant is a monk who is still vulgar, and I don't know where he learned a magical gambling technique, and after returning to the vulgar, he made a deal that made people ruined.

Today, the name of this monk boss is impossible to verify, anyway, everyone directly called him "monk" back then, and now he is called "gambling monk" or "old ancestor".

Maybe it's because the monk has been a monk for a long time, even if the boss of the gambling fast has made a living in the dark, he hasn't forgotten to put on some of the monk's rules and precepts.

In the monk's gambling house, everything must be "absolutely fair", and whoever makes a thousand dollars in his field, or gangs up to cheat people's money, will definitely be seen through by the boss at a glance and exposed in public; At worst, they will be kicked out of the gambling house and never accepted, or they will be beaten half to death and thrown into the streets.

The psychology of gamblers is very delicate, most of them can't afford to lose, but they don't want to admit that they can't afford to lose, so they will lose more.

And gambling fast...... It gives them a place where they can "lose convincingly". Those who come out of there, even if they lose and are destitute, can only blame themselves for their bad luck and have nothing to say.

For gamblers, that's enough...... It seems that it is not themselves who have lost, but God.

Over time, the name of "gambling fast" spread.

Finally, one day, the name of the gambling house reached the ears of a certain local official, who was also a gambler, so he disguised himself and entered the gambling house the next day.

Pity...... This Lord Liu's gambling skills and luck were not good, and he lost penniless not long after entering the gambling fast.

It stands to reason that a well-known corrupt official like him will lose if he loses, and anyway, he has looted the people's fat and people's ointment. It's just a matter of losing it and leaving...... However, this Lord Liu's gambling was also very bad, and after he lost, he immediately revealed his identity and shouted loudly, saying that the dealer had defrauded him of money.

So, the guy in the store called the owner...... That is, monks. The monk listened to what happened, smiled calmly, and proposed to gamble with Lord Liu again.

In this game, he used all his net worth to bet on a word from Lord Liu.

The monk lost. lost the 10,000 yuan of family wealth, Lord Liu lost, and only lost one sentence, and this sentence was - "I, Liu, lost convincingly today."

Lord Liu agreed to the gamble and quickly lost.

But...... He didn't fulfill his agreement, just waved his sleeves, snorted coldly, and left the gambling fast.

How could he know...... This walk cost him his life.

On the night of the next day, this Lord Liu died violently in his home. The death was tragic, and the cause of death was unknown.

Although it is said that the death of a local magistrate cannot be said to be a small case...... But at that time, it was the period when the Boxers were at their worst, and the government was corrupt. Internal and external troubles, where does the imperial court have the time to investigate this matter in detail. When the local law enforcement agency investigates to no avail, the matter is closed......

It's just that...... Although no one has investigated the official face, the rumors about this matter among the people have intensified.

Less than half a year. The story of "gambling monk killing Liu Greed" is known to women and children in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, and everyone's version will add their own oil and vinegar, and the more they talk about it, the more mysterious it becomes.

The name "Gambling Zhai" also spread along with the story. As a result, the gambling business developed rapidly, and soon turned from a small gambling house into a large casino.

Soon after, many gambling masters came to visit...... Challenge the gambling monk, but no one can beat the monk; And after these people lost, they were all impressed by the monk's gambling skills and bearing, or became confidants, or worshiped the disciples...... As for the stories of these gambling fights, they have naturally become market legends circulating on the streets and alleys without exception.

Later, a chance chance changed the fate of "Gambling Zhai" in the future......

On that occasion, there was a conflict between the owners of the other two casinos, who wanted to divide the game by gambling, but neither of them believed in the other party's designated manpower, and the game could not begin. Ultimately...... I don't know who said, "Then it's better to ask the monk who gambles and fasts to preside over it for you."

Outcome...... They really went to invite them, and the monk really went. Thanks to his principle of "absolute fairness", the whole process of gambling went smoothly. After the gambling game is over, the losing side does not say a word, hands over the gambling money, and leaves......

In this way, it opened a precedent of "gambling for others to preside over the gambling game......

Since then, there have been more and more gambling games that come to the gambling house to do justice, and the monk alone is undoubtedly too busy, so the masters he met and recruited also came forward in the name of "gambling fast" and went out to preside over the gambling game.

By the time the monk died in 1920, the gambling house was no longer a casino, but an organization dedicated to hosting gambling games and taking commissions from them.

The second-generation boss enshrined the undefeated "gambling monk" as his ancestor, and renamed the gambling house "Gambling Emperor Zhai", which means that the monk is the emperor of gambling.

Time flew by, and in the thirties and forties of the twentieth century, there were many concessions in S City, and gangs were prevalent.

At this time, it was the peak of gambling Huangzhai. The people they serve are rarely the common people...... During those days, those who could invite the "Gambling Emperor" to preside over the gambling game had to at least be a figure at the level of a gangster, a socialite or a military and political dignitary.

And the content of the gambling game is usually a huge amount of property, or...... Life.

Gambling is all about that, as a person loses more and more chips, the weight of life in his heart becomes lighter and lighter.

That's when things like "credit" get ridiculous. It's like saying...... There was a big gang brother with a dozen brothers and an unarmed common man gambling...... As long as the amount won by the latter reaches a limit that the former cannot accept, what awaits him will inevitably be to break the contract and destroy the mouth.

The purpose of gambling on the Emperor's Zhai is to supervise and avoid this situation. As long as there is a witness of the gambler, the loser must pay the price of his bet...... No matter what the price is.

If the loser breaks the contract, then the gambler will be responsible for "collecting the opponent's chips" for the winner. Money or life, it doesn't matter who that person is or what he loses...... There is a way for him to pay what he should pay, and there is no exception to miss.

This...... It is also the purpose that all those who know the "gambling emperor zhai" deposit zài need to understand.

…………

A century later, in the city of S, the office of a well-known entrepreneur.

"You...... Do you know about gambling Huangzhai? Jiang Daode asked in a deep voice.

He didn't mean to pretend to be garlic, because he understood. It is impossible for the other party to report those three words out of thin air; What Jiang Daode wants to know is...... How did the kid on the other side of the video know that he was connected to Gambling Emperor Zhai and how many details did he know?

"Of course, it's because ......" Feng Bujue said with a smile, "I'm also a member of the gambling emperor." ”

"You...... Say...... What the? A shocked expression involuntarily appeared on Jiang Daodao's face.

"Isn't that weird?" Feng Bujue asked.

"You?" Jiang Daode immediately sneered, "Hmph...... It's up to you? He paused for half a second, "Do you know how much a membership of the 'Gambling Emperor' is valued on the black market?" ”

"About 30 million yuan." Feng Bujue replied calmly, "However...... This valuation is of no avail, as their membership is currently saturated and no longer available for sale. Existing members are not allowed to buy, sell or transfer their memberships privately. He stretched lazily in front of the camera, "Of course...... You can bet on your membership in the presence of a 'supervisor'...... Bet against someone else, as long as the supervisor approves of the gamble. There may be a situation where the transfer is possible. ”

"It seems that you are really ...... about the rules of gambling on Huangzhai" Jiang Daode said this, suddenly thinking of something, he immediately exclaimed, "Wait...... Don't you ......?"

"That's right, my membership is 'earned.'" Feng Bujue spread out his hands and continued, "Hehe...... Speaking of which...... I feel a little sorry for the guy I took away from because I haven't exercised my membership rights once in all these years. ”

After saying this, Feng Bujue paused for two seconds. And he said, "Oh, by the way, I can also sue you for another question in your mind......" he replied leisurely. "You must be thinking, even if I am really a member of the gambling emperor, but members may not know each other, how do I know your identity?"

Jiang Daode didn't speak. Silently looking at the screen, waiting for Brother Jue's answer,

"Huh...... Actually, it was also a windfall. "Feng Bujue said." As I was researching your private life and personal history, I stumbled upon you in connection with a disappearance twenty years ago...... So, I found a few sources (Bao Qing) who had a good relationship with me, retrieved some information at the time, and roughly deduced the ins and outs......" He tilted his head and pointed at Jiang Daode through the video screen, "You are not Jiang Daode at all." ”

The moment these words came out, Jiang Daode seemed to have been poured into the head by a vat of hot oil, and the whole person jumped in shock.

"If I'm not mistaken...... Feng Bujue continued, "Back then, the real Jiang Daode gambled with you and lost his 'Yiqiē'. ”

"You...... What the hell are you ......" This "Jiang Daodao" was completely surrounded by fear at this time, and the huge psychological pressure made him speak in a slurred manner.

"After the gambling game is over, Gamble Huang Zhai disposed of Jiang Daodao's body and arranged a secret cosmetic surgery for you. A year later, they arranged another car accident to solve Jiang Daodao's parents in South Korea. In this way, you get his identity, education, appearance, inheritance...... In short, it's the whole life. Feng Bujue was still talking, "And you ...... yourself It's a 'missing person', am I right? Feng ......"

"Enough!" The "Jiang Daodao" in front of him didn't let Feng Bujue report his original name, he hurriedly shouted, "You ......" He glared at Brother Jue, and then pointed at Ouyang Jian, "...... And you! You'd better figure out who you're dealing with! ”

"Hmph...... Is it this senseless intimidation again? What's wrong? You still want to kill me? "With all due respect, I don't think you have the courage and ability to exercise violence yourself, and if you want to use other methods, then you can do it yourself." I'd like to see ...... Fight with me, whether you die first or I die first, hehehehe......" At the end of these words, a chilling smile appeared on his face.

"Are you ......" Jiang Daode sat back in the boss's chair, stared at the screen tremblingly, and asked, "...... What do you want? ”

"I said it...... It's just a game with you. Feng Bujue said, "I've already called the 'gambling supervisor', and we'll start as soon as the people arrive." ”

Knock knock knock -

really said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, and before the words fell, the door of the chairman's room happened to be knocked.

"I'll do it." Ouyang Jian said as he got up from his chair and walked to the door.

Jiang Daode was in no mood to care about these at this time, and a series of sudden mental blows made his thinking a mess.

Bang -

After the knocker entered the house, Ouyang Jian shook his hand and closed the door.

The man who came was a man dressed in a light-colored Tang costume, and he looked about thirty years old, with short shiny oily hair on his head, combed back hair, a pair of cloth shoes on his feet, and no socks.

"Hello, Mr. Jiang. We meet again. As soon as he entered the room, he walked straight to the desk and said hello to "Jiang Daodao".

"How did you ......" Jiang Daode wanted to ask the security guard on the first floor how he let him come up when he saw his appearance, but halfway through his words, he felt that he was asking too much, "...... Forget it, when I didn't say it. He paused, "Hello, Mr. Kujo......"

Obviously, this is not the first time that this gambler, Jiujo, has presided over a gambling game in which Mr. "Jiang Daodao" participated.

"I'm really honored...... Kujo said, casting his eyes on the suitcase on the table, and looking at the screen and said, "Mr. Feng, a member who never asks for our service, even contacted the supervisor today, and made it clear that ...... 'Please choose a gambler who is more familiar with Mr. Jiang'." ”

Hearing this, Jiang Daode couldn't help but glance at Brother Jue again, the weird smile on this kid's face really became more and more terrifying......

"I just think it's easier to find a gambler he knows, lest he suspect that I have found a friend to pretend to be a gambler." Feng Bujue answered, and then continued, "Okay, Mr. Kujo, I don't have much time, since you're here, how about I start talking about the rules?" ”

"Wait!" Jiang Daode immediately shouted loudly and interrupted, "If you don't show up in person, how can you start the gambling game?" ”

"Huh...... What's wrong with that. Feng Bujue shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "As long as my 'absence' doesn't lead to any factors in my favor in terms of rules and gambling content, why not?" ”

"He's right." Kujo continued, "There is no rule that the two sides of the gambling must be face-to-face before they can start the gambling game, and we often encounter remote gambling situations, if there is a loophole in the rules that can be drilled by him, I will not let the gambling game start." ”

Jiang Daode hesitated for a few more seconds, and then said, "Okay...... The rules are put aside, you speak first...... What do you want to bet with me? (To be continued......)
