Chapter 115 Gambling Stones
After wandering around the street for a while, Feng Yuerong and the three of them stopped in front of a very imposing pavilion.
"This Golden Stone Pavilion looks quite magnificent!"
Feng Yuerong stood in front of the door of the Golden Stone Pavilion and looked at it curiously.
Jinshi Pavilion is the largest gambling house in Wentian City, and its main business is to gamble on stones. Gambling stones, the profits are very large, the Golden Stone Pavilion has only been established for more than ten years, and it has become the richest place here, of course, this is also related to the forces behind the Golden Stone Pavilion.
I heard that there is the Imperial Immortal Sect behind the Golden Stone Pavilion, so no one dares to come to the Golden Stone Pavilion to spread wild or make trouble, basically it is very safe to come here to gamble on stones, but after going out, it is not a matter of the Golden Stone Pavilion. Therefore, even if there is a conflict in the Golden Stone Pavilion, it will be resolved outside the Golden Stone Pavilion.
After looking at it, Liu Bo said, "In this Golden Stone Pavilion, there are everyone, so be careful." ”
Feng Yuerong said with a smile: "I want to see what kind of reputation there is in this Golden Stone Pavilion." ”
Saying that, Feng Yuerong walked in first, Chu Feng and Liu Bo glanced at each other, and also walked in.
After entering, the situation in front of them surprised the three of them, the space inside is very large, there are three floors in total, each floor can accommodate four or five hundred people, now is the best time to gamble on stones, so there are already crowds of people inside, and people are gambling on stones everywhere.
Those who gambled on the stones, shouting loudly wantonly, looked like wolves and tigers, their eyes were full of fanaticism, staring directly at the rough stones, and they couldn't wait to stick their eyes on the rough stones.
Feng Yuerong looked back and forth on the tables, and like those people, she also shouted excitedly, as if she was also participating.
Chu Feng and Liu Bo followed Feng Yuerong step by step, there are all kinds of people here, Feng Yuerong has a noble status, and there is still Xiao Yinglong on her body, so there must not be the slightest danger.
The people who gamble on the stone on the first floor are all ordinary people, basically people who have not cultivated, and the original stones here are also average in quality, and occasionally there are some good ones, but the stones inside are all jade, and they are all carved into some ornaments.
The second floor is different, there is more space here, the decoration is different from the first floor, and there is a barrier on the second floor, which is separated from the first floor, so that the first and second floors are not affected by each other.
The second floor is a place where some monks gamble on stones, and the bets are also the best quality rough stones, among which the stones in them are no longer jade, but spirit stones, these spirit stones all contain spiritual power, which is of great help to the cultivation of cultivators. In addition, there are some rough stones that may cut out some very precious materials or some exotic treasures, and many of them who refine magic weapons will come here to gamble on stones, hoping to get the refining materials they want.
After wandering around the first floor for more than half an hour, Feng Yuerong was suddenly attracted by a middle-aged man in front of a gambling stone table.
This man was a little thin, but his eyes were shining, and his mouth kept yelling, and he was the loudest in the whole room.
Feng Yuerong was curious by this person's enthusiasm, so she walked over.
Walking to the gambling stone table, Feng Yuerong sat down on a stool.
After Feng Yuerong sat down, she immediately attracted all the attention, and the reason was that Feng Yuerong's beauty suddenly gave her brilliance.
Everyone was amazed by Feng Yuerong's beauty, but they just looked at it, and they didn't dare to make other moves, Jinshi Pavilion has rules, and there are absolutely no illegal things, if a woman comes in to gamble on stones, flirting is a taboo here.
After those people saw Feng Yuerong, they continued to gamble on the stone, and their emotions were even higher than before.
In particular, those who shouted the most had already stood up from their stools, looked at a few rough stones on the table, and commented loudly.
Chu Feng and Liu Bo stood on either side of Feng Yuerong respectively, paying attention to the surrounding situation.
I only heard the owner of the cabinet say: "Wang Monkey, which piece do you want to buy, hurry up." ”
This person turned out to be called Wang Monkey, Feng Yuerong felt a little curious, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
The man called Wang Monkey glanced at Feng Yuerong, then pointed to the largest rough stone on the table and said, "This is it." ”
The owner of the cabinet smiled and said, "Wang Monkey, this piece of rough stone is worth five hundred taels, so is there so much silver?"
Wang Monkey was not angry: "Do you look down on me, so you will buy this piece." ”
As he spoke, the king took out a bag of silver from his bosom and left it on the table.
The owner of the cabinet picked up the money bag, poured out the silver from it, checked it in his hand, and said with a smile: "Wang Monkey, do you still have a lot of silver, then now this rough stone is yours, quickly cut it for everyone to see, but don't buy a rotten stone like before." ”
The crowd immediately burst into laughter.
Wang Monkey also laughed a little, and then said very firmly: "This time, I will definitely not be mistaken, hurry up and cut it." ”
Then, the stone cutter on the side took out a delicate knife and began to cut the stone.
Everyone's eyes were all focused on the hands of the stone cutter, and the king monkey didn't dare to come out, staring at the rough stone, and even his hands were a little trembling.
Feng Yuerong looked at the rough stone, and then asked Uncle Liu, "Uncle Liu, can this rough stone cut out good jade?"
After reading it, Liu Bo shook his head slightly.
Feng Yuerong also probably knew the result, and then looked at Wang Monkey, who was still so fanatical and full of expectations, and felt sorry for the large amount of silver he had to lose.
The stone cutter took a knife and cut off the outer stone skin little by little, and soon some of the cyan color was revealed.
"There really is jade!"
When someone said this, Wang Monkey was even more excited, and then proudly showed off: "How about it, I'm not wrong, I'll just say that this rough stone, there will definitely be jade." ”
As the stone cutter continued to cut off the outer stone skin, some variegated colors began to appear inside the cyan, and there were many variegated colors, and the cyan color became more and more impure.
At this time, Wang Monkey was a little anxious, and couldn't help asking: "How can this be, so much has changed." ”
"Haha, Wang Monkey, it turns out that this is a miscellaneous stone, and you will have to lose a lot this time. ”
"Impossible, it won't be like this, keep cutting, it must be pure jade inside. ”
The king monkey didn't believe that it was a miscellaneous stone, and urged the stone cutter to continue cutting the stone.
As the stone cutter continues to cut off the outer stone skin, this rough stone is getting smaller and smaller, but it is still variegated, and the color is also a little unsightly.
Finally, the stonecutter made the final cut, and the rough stone was completely cut.
Wang Monkey stared at the rough stone on the table, with a look of disbelief, and muttered to himself: "No, how can this be, so it will be a miscellaneous stone?"
The cabinet owner chuckled and said, "How about it, Wang Monkey, this time, you can see clearly, this is not jade, but a miscellaneous stone, you can take it back." ”
Wang Monkey was still in disbelief, and did not come back to his senses, and the whole person sat down on the stool at once, silent for a long time.
The owner of the cabinet said: "Wang Monkey, if you don't want this miscellaneous stone, you can sell it to us, ten taels of silver, how about it, can you sell it or not?"
After a while, the king monkey suddenly came to his senses and said, "Sell, cut this piece for me too." ”
The owner of the cabinet smiled and said: "Wang Monkey, do you still have silver, this piece of rough stone, but it is worth a thousand taels of silver, if you don't have silver, I advise you to go home early." ”
When the owner of the cabinet said this, as if he had angered the king monkey, the king monkey slapped the table and said loudly: "Who said that I don't have any silver, today, I still don't believe that I can't cut jade." ”
Wang Monkey took out two pieces of paper from his arms, slapped them on the table with a "pop".
"This is my family's house deed and title deed, enough for a thousand taels of silver. ”
The owner of the cabinet took the deed and the title deed and looked at it, and said, "King Monkey, do you really want to gamble?"
Wang Monkey said firmly: "Of course it will be blocked, today, I will definitely be able to remove the jade." ”
The king monkey pointed to a rough stone that was not too big and small, and said, "This is it, cut it for me." ”
Others also began to ridicule, saying that this time the king monkey would definitely not be able to cut the jade, but the king monkey didn't listen at all and designated to cut the rough stone.
In order to bet on this rough stone, Wang Monkey took out all his family property, and the whole person has reached the point of almost going crazy, and in his eyes, only these rough stones are left.
Chu Feng looked at such a crazy king monkey, he didn't know what to say, when he saw the king monkey today, he finally saw what it means to be addicted to gambling, these gambling stones can make people rich overnight, but more often than not, they lose all their property overnight, and finally live on the streets
This kind of thing is too common, gambling stones are taking advantage of people's luck psychology, causing many families to be ruined, but in recent years. The gambling stone industry is even more popular, which is an industry licensed by the imperial court, so every place in the country is basically gambling stones.
The owner of the cabinet handed the rough stone to the king monkey, who held the rough stone in his arms, as if he were holding his own child, and then kissed the rough stone fiercely.
"King Monkey, you really look at stones better than your son, hahaha......"
"King Monkey, hurry up and take a look, don't be reluctant. ”
Wang Monkey glanced at those people and said sharply: "Hmph, I'll cut it for you to see, this time, if I can't cut out the original stone, I will be your son." ”
"Hahahaha, then your son, I'll recognize it first. ”
The king monkey didn't want to reason with those people anymore, and then carefully handed the rough stone to the stone cutter.
The stone cutter cut off the outer stone skin piece by piece, but the jade never appeared. The king monkey looked at the stone skins that had been cut off, as if he had cut his own flesh, his eyes stared at the rough stone without blinking, and his mouth had already begun to pray.
The rough stone shrank little by little, and in the end, there was no rough stone to appear. At this moment, the king monkey completely collapsed, and looked at the little rough stone left motionlessly, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day.
"King Monkey, this time, you should be damned, hahahaha......"
The ridicule of those people, Wang Monkey couldn't hear it, and the whole person looked at the crumbs on the table blankly as if he had no soul.
After a while, the king monkey suddenly begged, "Let me cut it once, this time, I will definitely be able to cut out the rough stone." ”
The owner smiled and said, "King Monkey, do you still have any silver?"
The king monkey looked a little embarrassed, and then begged: "In this way, you can lend me a thousand taels first, and when I cut off the original stone, I will definitely return it to you with interest." ”
The owner shook his head with a smile and said, "Wang Monkey, you don't even have the house deed and land deed, how can you guarantee that you can pay it back?"
The king monkey's eyes rolled, and then he said, "I have a son and a daughter, and I will mortgage them to you, so you can lend me a thousand taels of silver first." ”
"Hahaha, what use can your son have when he is so young, but your daughter is worth a little silver, but it is worth fifty taels at most. ”
The king monkey thought for a while, rubbed his hands, and then said, "Okay, fifty taels is fifty taels, hurry up and get the silver." ”
The owner said, "You should sign a deed of sale first." ”
The owner of the cabinet took out a deed of sale from under the table, and after the person wrote it, he handed it to the king monkey.
"You just put a handprint on it. ”
Wang Monkey pressed the handprint on it without hesitation, and then said anxiously: "I have already pressed it, hurry up and give me fifty taels of silver." ”
The owner of the cabinet looked at the deed of sale, and then took out fifty taels of silver and gave it to the king monkey.
