Chapter 190: The Gambling House
"He's just probing Xi Er and giving him some trouble," Qin Hongjin said in a low voice, his eyes dark.
"Hehe, little black fox, do you have the life to come back? Or do you repeat the old trick and seduce Xi Er? ”。
"20 taels of silver, 20 taels", Xiao Tang chattered while rummaging through the boxes and cabinets, looking for the money stored under the bed, the crockpot was also smashed, the small purse, and the earthy yellow bag were also turned over, "Only 10 taels, woo, why am I so poor."
"Xiao Hei, Dad thinks it's more than enough to support you", Xiao Tang wanted to cry without tears.
"Wang", Xiao Hei echoed, leaning in front of Xiao Tang, wagging his tail to comfort his master's father.
"What to do? Find someone to borrow, Brother Gouzi, they can't do it, their monthly money is not much, they still have to give money to the family, Xiaoshi, Brother Liu Jin, they are all going to do tasks, and they can't be contacted for a while, ah——, who are you looking for, Xi Er? No, I owe wages before I go to work, it's too decrepit ......", Xiao Tang grabbed his head and tried to raise 10 taels of silver.
"It's all Qin Peacock's fault, he must have miscalculated Uncle Li, and the profiteer ......."
"Wang", Xiao Hei shouted a few times.
"It's okay, Xiao Hei, Dad won't sell you", Xiao Tang reassured Xiao Heidao.
Xiao Tang planned to go to the street to see if he could do a part-time job, or find an acquaintance to borrow money to make up 10 taels of silver, but his acquaintances happened to be not in Liangzhou, and Xiao Tang was also a little back.
The little boy was strolling, and suddenly saw a familiar obscene figure, "Wang Mazi? Brother Mazi! ", Xiao Tang shouted.
"Great, I have an acquaintance," Don Jr. thought to himself.
Wang Mazi heard the familiar crisp and delicate voice, and when he turned around, it was really Xiao Tang.
He was dressed in turquoise today, and he still had a familiar little black face.
"Xiao Tang, is it you, so idle?" , Wang Mazi said.
"Senior Brother Mazi, why are you unhappy when you see me, we haven't seen each other for a long time", Xiao Tang asked.
"It's only a month," Wang Mazi said.
"Senior Brother Mazi, how is the mission? What level are you now? Xiao Tang asked enthusiastically.
"D-level, what about you?" , Wang Mazi asked a little unrefreshed.
"Me too, what a coincidence", Xiao Tang said embarrassedly.
The two chatted awkwardly for a while, and Xiao Tang saw that Wang Mazi wanted to leave, so he cut to the topic, "Senior Brother Mazi, Senior Brother, I've been a little tight lately, do you have any money?" Xiao Tang asked with a dark face.
"Oh? Brother Xiao Tang, are you short of money? How much? Wang Mazi came to the spirit and asked.
"Mmmm, I'm short of 10 taels of silver, and the Qin Peacock of the Qin Pavilion won't let me go, so you have to blackmail me for 10 taels of silver, profiteer!" , Xiao Tang said depressedly
"10 taels of silver, junior brother Xiao Tang, I don't have any senior brother", Wang Mazi also said with a sullen face, his task has no salary to earn, and it is usually good to have enough money for his own expenses.
"Then what should I do, my next mission is about to start, I can't stay in the Qin Pavilion anymore", Xiao Tang and Wang Mazi squatted on the side of the street and said.
The two of them hung their heads like defeated roosters.
"Yes, Don Jr., gambling house, how much silver do you have on hand? Let's try our luck at the gambling house, maybe we will turn the book", Wang Mazi said suddenly.
"Gambling? No, I won't either, besides, gambling is not good, and ......it is easy to go bankrupt", Xiao Tang suddenly thought of various examples of gambling and family ruins in the previous life, the good girl Ruan Tang (Lian) has never been involved in gambling, and now he sticks to the thief business, which has made his heart stuffed for a long time, and he has done a long time to build his heart before accepting the title of the disciple of the thief.
"This is the only way, do you want to go to work and earn 10 taels of silver in a short time? Don't save enough money, the task deadline is ......", Wang Mazi persuaded.
"If you steal, with your skills, can you steal money without getting caught?" , Wang Mazi sent out a soul torture.
"I don't steal money casually, I only rob the rich and help the poor, and I don't do this kind of thing of using stealing to satisfy my own selfish desires," the young man said dissatisfied.
"As far as you say that you have a lot of heads, then you make a move, be careful of being caught", Wang Mazi said unceremoniously, in fact, he was just a petty thief, and he didn't dare to go to a big family to steal.
Xiao Tang, who has been targeted and has been arrested several times (Xu Zixiang), has a weak heart and does not refute Wang Mazi.
"To go or not to go? If you don't go, I'll try my luck," Wang Mazi said.
"Senior Brother Mazi, do you know how to gamble? Is it like a gambling saint? How's the technique? Will there be a thousand old people? Xiao Tang asked in a row.
"The gambling saint doesn't dare to say, I understand a little", in fact, he has only won the number of times he can count on five fingers, and Wang Mazi, who has lost most of them, boasted.
"Senior Brother Mazi, I only have 10 taels of belongings, I just need to earn another 10 taels of silver, I'm not greedy", Xiao Tang was a little moved, just now he was righteous, and the righteous little boy who swore that he was incompatible with gambling changed his mind and said degenerately.
"Let's say it first, I don't guarantee that I will win, don't blame me when the time comes", Wang Mazi said kindly, he didn't know the bottom of his heart.
"Well, okay, let's be a dead horse doctor, if I win, my luck is pretty good......", Xiao Tang said with determination.
"Actually, your luck is also very weird, and I don't know if it's really good or too bad," Wang Mazi thought to himself.
The two said they would do it, Xiao Tang first rushed back to the Qin Pavilion to get all his belongings - ten taels of silver, and turned left and right with Wang Mazi like a thief and entered a remote underground gambling house.
"Ma, Senior Brother Mazi, is it reliable here? Let's not be deceived", Xiao Tang asked cautiously like a dirty bun holding an earthy yellow bag containing silver in both hands.
"What are you afraid of, I'm here, this is an underground gambling house, the kind that the government doesn't recognize, but you can launder money quickly, do some private transactions or something, the underworld also has the rules of the underworld, and you can't easily smash their signboard ......", Wang Mazi explained.
"What gambling houses are still recognized by the government and not recognized, it is illegal and should be banned", Xiao Tang thought to himself.
"I don't know if Wang Mazi is reliable, but since I'm here, so be it."
"Okay, it's only 10 taels of silver, it's not enough for them to gamble a game, no one will rob you of your silver", Wang Mazi said when he saw Xiao Tang holding Xiao Bao tightly.
"Got it, Senior Brother Mazi, you don't even have 10 taels of silver", Xiao Tang replied, he also understood, Wang Mazi was poorer than him.
Xiao Tang observed the surroundings and found that the underground gambling house was quite large, and the light inside was dim, and it may be this kind of atmosphere that he wanted, the miasma, the people who came to gamble were all five big and three thick, or had a declining face, some wanted to come over to play, try their luck, and there were also gambling addicts, and they lost so much that they couldn't even afford the kind of ...... underwear.
It's similar to the picture imagined by Xiao Tang, the order is okay, the organization is also strict, the people at the door are checked, and they are not brought in by acquaintances, and it is estimated that they cannot be allowed in, so it can be seen that it is really illegal.
Xiao Tang followed behind Wang Mazi, who pretended to be familiar, like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, and looked around.
Xiao Li, who mixed in to investigate the intelligence, saw the black-faced imp in the blue-green shirt at a glance, and thought, "Brother Xu is not here, if he finds him, will he arrest him regardless of the plan?"
"Little ghost, get out of the way, get in the way".
Xiao Tang accidentally stood in the middle of the road and was pushed away by a big man who was not easy to mess with at first glance.
"I'm sorry," Don whispered, like a poor little black dog.
"Little ghost, go home and nurse, what are you doing here," the man scoffed.
"Who eats milk", Xiao Tang, who just wanted to be angry, looked at the other party's strong figure, his little arms and legs, and held back.
Wang Mazi hurriedly pulled away Xiao Tang and said, "Xiao Tang, keep a low profile."
"I can't be high-profile," Xiao Tang thought depressedly.
In a stall similar to pressing dice, Xiao Tang stopped, and he dragged Wang Mazi, "Mazi, let's play this, you don't need any technical content", Xiao Tang said.
In fact, the dealer with a high technical content thought to himself, "Where did the little dirt bun come from, at first glance, it is the share of being slaughtered".
"This also requires technology, and you can listen to the dice to tell the size of the dice," Wang Mazi said. "Still, you can try your luck."
"Okay", Xiao Tang took out a bunch of money from the small bag, which instantly caused laughter.
"Little ghost, you can be funny, just hang the money", the big man next to him sneered.
"Why, can't you gamble a lot of money in the gambling house", Xiao Tang asked loudly as he stared at the person who threw the dice.
"Yes," the man said, smiling.
"Hmph, don't look down on a hanging of money, isn't it just a lot of silver accumulated by a hanging of money, the so-called collection of armpits into Qiu ......" Xiao Tang muttered, besides, he only has change, how can he have the whole silver, a total of only 10 taels.
"Buy big and buy small, buy and leave, can't change"
, the man shouted.
"Senior brother Mazi, choose big or small", Xiao Tang turned his head and asked Wang Mazi.
"You choose, aren't you lucky?" , Wang Mazi said.
"You don't know how to listen to the sound of his dice, ordinary masters can", Xiao Tang said close to Wang Mazi's ear.
Wang Mazi smelled the lotus fragrance on Xiao Tang's body again, and said uncomfortably, "That's big", in fact, how could he hear the size of the dice.
"Then I'll choose small," Xiao Tang said, putting a penny in a small position.
"You ——, Xiao Tang", Wang Mazi pointed at Xiao Tang's nose and did not speak.
As a result, "Xiao" won this game, and Xiao Tang jumped up happily, "I'm too good, haha."
"You keep a low profile, Xiao Tang", Wang Mazi said with a black line pulling him.
"It's just shit luck, this is the first time," said the loser on the side.
"Shit luck is also luck, you haven't it yet", Wang Mazi was dissatisfied with him and said Xiao Tang, and replied.
"Haha, I've made money, come again", Xiao Tang urged.
This time, Don Jr. chose "big", and the result was that Don Jr. won again, "I'm too ......".
"Shut up, Little Don", Wang Mazi interrupted him.
"Okay, come again!" , excited Don shouted.
