Chapter 7: The Hidden Hand
"Okay!" Yellowbeard laughed and said, "Come on, help this Brother Xie and transport his gold and silver to the third floor." Then he pointed at Xie Guhong and said: "Brother Xie is magnificent, he doesn't even count the silver, a talent like a brother will just go up to the third floor to play in the future, hahahaha!" We're here for you. ”
Xie Guhong glanced at him and said lightly: "It's less than 100,000 taels of silver in total, is it so clear?" Lead the way in front of the head, I'll see what tricks are on the third floor, and I'll have a few good plays. ”
Hearing this, Yellowbeard laughed even more and said, "Haha, haha!" Well, my brother is really very human, he does extraordinary things, and when he goes upstairs, he personally plays with his brother below! Please! As he spoke, he swung his hand forward and headed for the stairs.
Xie Guhong followed behind the other party, walked up the stairs to the second floor, and looked inside, which is also a huge hall, but the gambling things here are different from the first floor, and the first floor is full of ordinary gambling games, what gambling size, playing pai gow and the like. But the second floor is different, such as cockfighting, fighting crickets, and fighting dogs are all this kind of things, so the noise is even worse than the first floor, and the silver of each game is directly turned over five times more than the first floor, that is, each handful, you only need to bet, at least fifty taels of silver, and there is no point that it is really unaffordable.
When you get to the third floor, the layout here is even higher, specially prepared for the "elegant" people such as dignitaries and wealthy businessmen, and what you want to play, the people in the casino will immediately prepare something. As soon as I went up to the third floor, I saw a man wearing a scarf, a son, and an ivory folding fan. is smiling at a curtain in front of him, and this curtain is every other distance. There was a gap, and in each gap there was a hand sticking out. Some of these hands are white and tender, some seem to be boneless, some are white and delicate, and some are gentle like jade, but the size and overall appearance are similar.
At this time, the smiling boy was shaking the folding fan in his right hand, and his left hand gently stroked a palm that leaked out of the gap, and carefully pinched it. Childe laughed and said, "Yes, haha!" It must be Miss Wanyu. It's on! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a person who looked like a casino, nodded and walked to the brocade curtain, pulled it left and right with his hand, revealing a beauty behind him, this beauty was covering his mouth with his other hand and laughing, and said: "The son guessed wrong again, and the slave son lost another fifty taels of gold." Damn it. ”
The boy smiled casually, patted the beauty's hand lightly, and said, "Why should Ruyu blame herself, you can ask me to hold the girl's hand." Don't say it's fifty taels of gold, even five hundred taels are worth it. ”
As he was saying this, this boy saw the two brothers with yellow and blue beard coming up. smiled: "Two bosses, don't you play a game with me?" ”
Yellowbeard heard this. smiled: "How fortunate I am to be as fortunate as Childe said, a romantic person like Childe." I'm an old man, where do I dare to make trouble for my son, or call the girls, play some tricks with my son, and in the evening, if my son appreciates the face, I will accompany my son to eat and drink. ”
The boy said "hey", shook his head and said: "The big boss is polite, I can't let you go no matter what I want today, let's accompany me for a game at night." ”
After a few days of playing, Yellowbeard knew in his heart that this son's family was an official eunuch, and it was likely that he was from Beijing, but he was not easy to offend, but if he played with him, what should he do with the surname Xie behind him? ”
But before he could say anything, this boy saw Xie Guhong behind him, because Xie Guhong's height is calculated in the origin world, that is, one meter eight five up, in ancient times, that is a powerful and majestic person, this son looked at it, nodded secretly, praised a good man, and said: "Aren't the two bosses going to play with this brother?" There's no need to be embarrassed, I'll just play a few hands. Brother Tai started a game, how about being a little brother? ”
When the two brothers heard him say this, they both looked at Xie Guhong with their eyes, and the latter swept this boy, who looked graceful, but he was smiling, but he was not annoying. So he nodded and said, "It just so happens that I'm short of money now, and the more people I play, the better." ”
"Oh?" When the boy heard this, he was slightly surprised, and then smiled: "Haha! Great, the little brother loves to go lively, and he just happened to see the high skills of the brother. ”
Xie Guhong raised his head towards the yellow beard and said, "Lead the way." ”
A few people, led by the two brothers with yellow and blue beards, walked through a few single rooms and came to the last room, but the furnishings inside did not look like a casino at all, just like the hall of a large family, what kind of landscape calligraphy and painting, big chairs and coffee tables.
Yellowbeard waved his hand at Xie Guhong and said, "Brother Xie, please." As he spoke, he waved his hand at the top of the list. He was actually polite, after all, the identity of the boy was not low, but Xie Guhong just nodded, walked over with a step that was neither light nor heavy, and did not hide the slightest sound, and sat directly on the chair in the first place.
The two brothers with the yellow beard looked at each other, but the boy sat directly on a chair next to him, and the two brothers had no choice but to ignore it and sit on the chair.
Their work, south, south, west, and northwest, each side is a person, so what to play, it is very convenient, Yellowbeard instructed his men to serve tea, and after the men made tea, they went down again.
Yellowbeard's heart moved, and he said to Gongzi: "Fu Gongzi, you may not know yet, let me introduce you to this Brother Xie, who was only on the first floor of the gambling hall of our two brothers, but he killed all sides, won ten games in a row, and the principal was ten taels of gold, but after ten handfuls, even the principal with interest, I am afraid that there are already more than 80,000 taels of silver." ”
When the guy who came first came to the two gambling houses, he put a large table in the middle of the ground, followed by two more people, with a large cloth in his hand, all of which were gold, silver, jewelry, and silver tickets, and gold tickets, and from the actions of the two people, it can be seen that it was very heavy.
These people put Xie Guhong's money on the big table on Xie Guhong's side, and then retreated.
When the boy on the left saw the mountain of money, he knew that what Yellowbeard said must be true. Although these things are not a small number in his eyes. But it was the first time he had encountered something that he was so interested in, and he tapped the palm of his left hand with a folding fan. He made a "pop" sound and said, "Excellent." Brother Tai is really a good means, in my opinion, these two bosses are also gambling saints. The little brother's luck is not bad, why don't we play a few games with the four of us? ”
Xie Guhong glanced at him and said, "It's not a few rounds, it's ten rounds." ”
The boy was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then he rejoiced and said, "Okay, then ten will win or lose." It doesn't matter how much you win in the end. Or if you lose your pants, let's play these ten. ”
When Yellowbeard and Bluebeard heard this, they were a little unhappy in their hearts, and said secretly: "This boy suddenly intervened, but it is not easy to do, fortunately, I was on the first floor, and I used my internal strength to secretly hurt this Neifu surnamed Xie, no matter how you win or lose today." When this surnamed Xie dies after the attack of internal injury, won't all the gold and silver have to be returned to our brother's gambling house? ”
Thinking of this, Yellowbeard laughed and said, "It's good to pay the salary, then we'll only play ten games." At that time, no matter whether you win or lose, you will have to talk about the situation and break up. ”
Bluebeard, who hadn't said a word from beginning to end, looked at a few people at this time. opened his mouth and said, "I don't know what we are playing?" Pai Gow. Or guess the size? ”
The boy closed the fan and rubbed his hair. "I'm really not good at these, and it looks like I'm going to lose." ”
Xie Guhong glanced at him and said, "Ordinary things, it's very boring." Let's play the simplest and most straightforward. As he spoke, he reached out and picked up a five-tael silver from the jewelry in front of him, and then closed his hands slightly, when he opened it, the silver had become a silver cake, and then Xie Guhong reached out his index finger and scratched around the silver cake, and the silver cake directly became a round shape, followed by a side of the silver cake, and spent a horizontal with his fingers.
Then he picked up a five-tael silver again, drew a gourd in the same way, made a round silver cake, and drew two horizontal on one side. In this way, he made a round silver cake for every five taels of silver, and engraved the handwriting with his fingers, and in an instant he carved twenty round silver medals in succession.
This kind of kung fu of pinching the silver with the power of the palm can naturally be done by some masters in the martial arts, but it is as light as Xie Guhong, and he has made twenty in a row, and he does not even grow his qi once, which is rare. What's more, it is even more scary to use your fingers to engrave words on it.
Especially the son, after seeing it, he couldn't help but "snap" and patted the folding fan again and again, and shouted: "Good means, brother Tai is really good kung fu." Then he picked up a few silver cakes without seeing anything, looked back and forth, and couldn't help but admire: "The thickness is generally the same, and the edges are smooth and smooth, which is really amazing." It's just that the brother is engraved with numbers on it, is it to play a guess card than the size? Hearing him ask, the yellow and blue bearded two couldn't help but look at Xie Guhong.
Especially Yellowbeard, he is a little drumming in his heart, because the other party has such a high martial arts, he will not be discovered by his secret hand against him before, right? But then I thought about it, no, if the other party knew that he had secretly moved against him, how could he not fight back if he had martial arts? Yes, just now I slapped him and fell from behind, and this surnamed Xie must not have noticed it.
Thinking of this, Yellowbeard and his brother looked at each other and said, "Yes, I took a look and found that Brother Xie carved it, it seems to be, from one to twenty numbers, although the brother opened a casino, but this is the first time I have seen such a thing, but I don't know what it means." ”
Xie Guhong looked at the three people present and said: "It's very simple, let's just play the cards, whether we play or not, the bottom of each round is five hundred taels." One word is the largest, twenty is the smallest. Each person first touch one, and then place the first round of bets, can look at the cards or not, do not look at the cards if others with the double, and then touch the second round of cards, the last bet, the two cards added, the smallest number for the win...... "He will be the rules of the three people in detail, the son is obviously very smart, only listen to it once to remember, and the other two, are perennial mixed casino, is a little through.
Xie Guhong said: "Now that we understand, let's start directly, or adapt to the two games first?" ”
Yellow and Blue Beard looked at each other again and said, "No need to get used to it, this thing is very simple, in the end, whoever has the smallest idea wins." And there is a bottom in the middle, there is an increase in size, the way to play the cards, hahaha! It's simple, but it's enjoyable. ”
Bluebeard also nodded and praised loudly, and said: "I can't say that this kind of gameplay can become popular in the future, and then we will have to make a special platform in the gambling house." ”
The "pop" of the folding fan in the boy's hand sounded directly. said: "Hurry up and start, I'm in a little bit of a hurry." He said, "Oh! "Yes. He pulled out a small stack of silver tickets from his pocket and pulled out one. Throwing it on the table, he continued, "This is the bottom of ten." There really is no other ticket in the next place. ”
Bluebeard said, "It's not as good as our chips, it's easy to keep count." ”
Xie Guhong directly interrupted: "Silver tickets are okay, chips are not, I'll leave as soon as I finish playing ten handfuls." ”
Yellowbeard glanced at Xie Guhong and nodded, "Okay, let's start directly." ”
Xie Guhong turned his hand back and forth on the table, shuffled the cards, and said, "My first village, how about it?" ”
Everyone said hello in unison. Xie Guhong directly took one out of it and put it in front of him, and at the same time pushed out the bottom money, five hundred taels.
After a while, everyone drew one first, and at the same time went to the bottom. looked at Xie Guhong, waiting for the other party to bid, Xie Guhong didn't look at the cards, and said, "Ten thousand taels." "Speaker. Directly in the hill in front of him, he pushed out a few strings of pearls and a pile of gold and silver, and those who know how to know it will know at a glance. That's more than 10,000 taels, just a little more. ”
The three of them didn't expect that Xie Guhong's first round was 10,000 taels of silver, and it was impossible not to be shocked in their hearts. In addition, Xie Guhong did not look at the cards, if everyone wants to follow. and twenty thousand taels of silver.
Fu Gongzi was still smiling, and threw out two of his silver tickets flutteringly. "Go on." ”
The bluebeard has a ten, not up or down, but if the first one doesn't follow, he will lose in momentum, so he directly threw out a silver ticket of 20,000 taels and said, "Follow up." ”
The yellow-bearded boss saw that there was a five in his hand, which belonged to the decimal number, so he followed and said, "The same, come on." ”
Xie Guhong's face was expressionless, and he directly grabbed one again, but he never left the table, and still deducted the cards, because there is a rule in this, although the silver medals are the same weight, but the numbers in them are engraved, so they can be touched, and when they touch the cards, they leave the table, even if they start shooting. Xie Guhong said: "Seventy thousand taels." "Directly pushed out all the money in front of him.
The three people present were a little confused, such a big gamble is the first time to play in his life, and Yellowbeard even regrets it a little, you must know that a handful of 70,000 taels, and the three of them want to follow is 210,000 taels, plus Xie Guhong does not open the cards to double, that is more than 400,000 taels, and a game of more than 400,000 taels of gambling is probably the only one in the whole world. It wasn't that I hadn't played the original million-tael gamble, but it was one night, but now it's only been how long it has been since I drew the cards? Got a cup of tea?
The faces of the yellow-and-blue-bearded brothers changed slightly, but the boy didn't seem to take it seriously at all, and took out 60,000 taels of silver from the table, and then lightly threw down two silver tickets, each 100,000 taels. Xie Guhong couldn't help but glance at the other party, and said in his heart: "This kid surnamed Fu has some means, and he can play such a big game without changing his face, but it is not a simple thing." ”
It was Bluebeard's turn to speak, and the latter was a little confused, and looked at the cards, and this time it was quite good, it was a two, and it was twelve points together. It's not too big. was ruthless in his heart, and directly counted out 140,000 taels from a stack of silver tickets next to him, and said, "I want to see which of us has good luck." ”
Yellowbeard couldn't stop thinking in his heart, he was two brothers, and he stood at least fifty percent in terms of victory and negativeness, are you afraid of you? I've only got seven points on my hand, which is a lot of money. Thinking of this, he said: "Of course, the first bet will be wagered to the end." Let's shoot, Brother Xie. As he spoke, he also counted out a silver ticket of 140,000 taels and placed it in the middle of the table.
When Xie Guhong heard this, he didn't talk nonsense, and directly opened the pie in his hand, a total of six points, and said: "Whoever has a small card, take the silver and silver." ”
Everyone, look at me, I look at you, the yellow beard's eyes are even redder, but he secretly reminded himself that this person surnamed Xie has already fallen into his secret hand, and he said slowly that 400,000 taels, that is, 4 million taels, and he will die in only three or four days, and then he will send someone to follow him and directly retrieve the silver.
Thinking of this, the anger in his heart suppressed a little, and said with a smile: "Congratulations, haha, this kind of play is really rare." ”
Fu Gongzi nodded and said, "Yes, it's too enjoyable, it's very enjoyable, haha!" Brother Xie won, according to the rules just introduced, this one is still Brother Xie's bank. Shuffle the cards. ”
Saying that, the four of them got started together and began to mess up the silver medals, especially the two casino owners with yellow and blue beards, this time they shuffled the cards more carefully, but after all, this thing was just started, and they couldn't play ghosts, even if they were clever and able to hide the cards, but there were only twenty pieces of this thing, and one less could be seen at a glance.
Therefore, it is all about luck and memory, but such four shuffles at the same time, and the cards are very messy, so it is almost impossible to remember where the cards appear. Therefore, it is equivalent to betting on luck entirely. It is precisely in this situation that the yellow-blue-bearded brothers are no longer afraid, firstly, because Xie Guhong is only one person, and the son surnamed Fu is also a group of himself, and there is no possibility of collusion. But the yellow and blue beards are two, so it's all up to luck, and if you follow them all, you will have half the chance of winning. Second, that's Yellowbeard's secret hand. After losing a lot, they expected that Xie Guhong was just running money, and in a few days, after he died, he would still be able to get the money back.
