Chapter 132: Do You Have Enough Silver?
"I don't think you'll ever forget my name. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
The nostrils of the officials of this secluded country were almost facing the sky: "Introduce yourself again, my name is Guo Yu, I think you will involuntarily think of me when you gamble on stones in the future." ”
"Don't be arrogant!"
A big man who looked to be around forty years old stood up and shouted, his sideways appearance was quite fearful.
This person was wearing a cloth robe, and he was tall, so he looked a little special in the crowd. He is one meter nine tall, and he looks even more burly than Du Thin. cloth clothes and shoes, but it has a momentum that people dare not underestimate.
People from the Gao family.
Someone was whispering underground.
"The people of the Gao family have made a move, and now there is that bastard thing to look at, and he actually dares to look down on my Dayan. ”
"That's right, the Gao family has a deep background, Mr. Gao made a move, and the people of Youguo will be embarrassed. ”
On the second floor, a well-behaved girl stood beside An Zheng, who was Zhuang Feifei's personal maid Hongluan, Hongluan's heartwarming Hongluan. Her appearance is not very beautiful, but she has the temperament of a little girl next door, which is particularly cute.
"That's Gao Yuanhu of the Gao family, everyone calls him Mr. Gao, and he is the backstage boss of all the casinos in the capital. ”
Hongluan explained to An Zheng: "The Gao family is also a legend, when the Great Yan was founded, Gao Jiexing followed the King of Yan to expand the territory, and made great achievements. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he was named the Duke of Guo by King Yan and was one of the seven founding princes of Dayan. Moreover, it is ranked first among the Seven Kingdoms. However, this Gao Jiexing is also a legendary figure, three years after the founding of the Great Yan Kingdom, he begged to see the King of Yan and asked to remove him from all official titles. Not only his, but all the official positions of the Gao family were dismissed. ”
At that time, King Yan was stunned and asked him why. Gao Jiexing said that he was willing to use his own merits to exchange three chances of immortality for future generations. He said that he was worried that his current high-ranking officials would inevitably lead to his descendants, and he was afraid that one day future generations would use his banner to do evil, and he was even more afraid that he would find the disaster of extermination. King Yan persuaded him that there was no need to consider these things, as long as he taught well, how could such a situation occur. ”
Gao Jiexing insisted on leaving the court and entered the palace six times in succession, but King Yan finally granted his request and gave the Gao family three gold medals for avoiding death. King Yan also left a testament on his deathbed, and the Gao family had meritorious service to Dayan, and the descendants of the Mu family were not allowed to forget. Later, the people of the Gao family began to engage in business, because the Yan people were good at gambling, so they opened a casino. The rules of his casino are the most fair, and Tong Su is not bullied, of course, it is just a rumor, and I have never been in. There are only two kinds of girls who go in and out of the casino, and one is not afraid of what others say. The other is not afraid of what others say. ”
Two are not afraid, two meanings.
However, although the Gao family withdrew from the court, because they were very powerful in the army at the beginning, many people received the favor of Gao Xingxing, so the Gao family's business is getting bigger and bigger, and it can be regarded as smooth sailing. In addition, the descendants of the Gao family will run the business, and they are also low-key, and they have always maintained a good relationship with the military, and they have dealings with many big names in the court. So now the entire Fanggu City, all the casinos are controlled by the Gao family. Outside Fanggu City, inside Dayan, it is said that the Gao family has opened three hundred and twenty casinos. ”
Hongluan's voice was crisp and good, and he finished speaking in one breath, then looked at An Zheng and said: "Don't underestimate the people of the Gao family, Gao Jiexing was a real powerhouse in the Great Manchu Realm, and it is said that he can only enter the Xiaotian Realm by a short time." There are also rumors that the reason why the Gao family has not moved for so many years is precisely because the Gao family has a real great cultivator in charge, so even if the Queen Mother's idea of playing casino is not in the end. ”
An Zheng nodded: "In this way, this Mr. Gao Yuanhu Gao is the current head of the Gao family?"
Hongluan shook his head: "I don't know, anyway, he came out of the things on the surface." ”
Downstairs, Gao Yuanhu walked up to the high platform, stood next to a table and stared at the stone boy above carefully for a while, frowning.
Youguo official Guo Yu smiled and said, "What do you call this?"
"High Reach Lake. ”
"Mr. Gao, looking at you in a cloth dress, you should not have a famous official position on you. But since you can come in on this occasion today, you must not be mortal. Mr. Gao dared to be the first to stand up, he should be confident. I don't know which piece Mr. Gao has chosen, and how much bet he is ready to make?"
Gao Yuanhu's gaze wandered around the stones, and finally chose a stone the size of a watermelon: "This one." ”
The stone looks like a crooked pear, one large and the other small. The stone emits a pale blue glow, and it is not the kind that floats on the surface, all the light seems to seep through the inside of the stone.
Gao Yuanhu held up the stone in front of his eyes and looked out the window at the sunlight, the stone was very heavy, and there was basically no clue. But faintly, it seems that there seems to be a shadow inside. He sniffed it in front of his nose again, then frowned.
Finally he placed the stone on the table and stood there for five more minutes.
An Zheng knew that Gao Yuanhu must be feeling the breath in the stone. But any real treasure, no matter how tightly sealed the stone is, there may still be a faint breath seeping out. An Zheng doesn't know how Gao Yuanhu's cultivation is, but since he can become the manager of the Gao family, his eyesight, experience, and cultivation will definitely not be low.
Guo Yu, an official of Youguo, didn't seem to care, and kept smiling and looking at Gao Yuanhu.
After a while, Gao Yuanhu confirmed again: "I choose this piece." ”
Guo Yu asked: "How much does Mr. Gao plan to bet, whether he has bet or not, and if so, what is the level of bet?"
Gao Yuanhu had obviously already chosen, but he still made a decision after pondering for a while: "10,000 taels of silver, bet on it." When it's a piece of white stuff. ”
Guo Yu seemed to be a little disdainful, and he felt a little unsightly for 10,000 taels of silver.
"In that case, let it be decided. ”
He looked at Gao Yuanhu contemptuously: "Although it is only a bet of 10,000 taels of silver, since this Mr. Gao is the first to stand up, it can be regarded as courage, of course I must abide by the agreement." We will add 30% to the net, and bet 13,000 taels. If there is something after cutting it, and it is a white product, then the thing that is cut out belongs to Mr. Gao, and the 13,000 taels of silver also belong to Mr. Gao. If Mr. Gao loses the bet, the previous bet of 5,000 taels of silver and the bet of 10,000 taels of silver will not be refunded. ”
He sat down and said, "In order to show fairness, the stone cutting will be handed over to the craftsmen of Jusshoin to do. ”
Zhang Yifu and Gao Yuanhu glanced at each other, and it could be seen that these two experienced masters were a little nervous.
With the strength of the Gao family, of course Gao Yuanhu didn't care about the fifteen thousand taels of silver, what he cared about was the face of the Gao family, which was still above the face of the Yan Kingdom.
Even more nervous than the two of them was the master craftsman of Jushangyuan, a master who was almost sixty years old and had more than thirty years of experience in cutting stones. Over the years, many spirit stones have been cut out under his hands, and there are many treasures such as red products and gold products.
In fact, the ultimate dream of every craftsman is to be able to cut out a purple spirit stone, so that life can be considered complete. But in the whole world, there are thousands of craftsmen, and there are only a handful of people who cut out purple spirit stones.
The old craftsman walked up to the high platform, and the stone-cutting knife in his hand emitted a cold light in the light. Each stone-cut knife has a lot of stories, and each stone-cut knife symbolizes hope.
It was a pair of hands that looked like they had age spots, but they were still stable. The old craftsman held the stone with a pale blue glow in one hand and the knife in the other. He took a deep breath, then turned his gaze to Lake Gaoyuan. Gao Yuanhu bowed slightly to him, and the old craftsman felt that this was the most nervous time in his life to cut stones.
An Zheng slowly descended from the second floor and walked closer to watch.
Cutting stones is like peeling an apple, layer by layer, and an experienced craftsman can judge whether the knife should be heavy or light by the feel of the knife. Because this time it involved the dignity of the Yan people, the old craftsman chose the safest way. He lowered the knife, cut it lightly, and then spun up along the stone. His hand was unusually steady, not only in the hand holding the knife, but also in the hand pressing the stone.
With a knife, a piece of stone skin is cut off, and the stone is not broken or cracked, which is the mastery of the craftsman.
With this knife, the blue light seems to be more brilliant. According to the grade, it is emerald white, red, gold and purple, but the blue light on this stone is too weird.
After this knife went down, An Zheng's face was a little unsightly, because he knew that Gao Yuanhu had lost the bet.
As the knife continued to cut in and cut off, the stone skin fell off layer by layer, and the blue light became more and more brilliant, but there was still no change inside. Fine beads of sweat had already appeared on the old craftsman's forehead, and Guo Yu, who was sitting on a chair not far away, smiled more and more proudly.
"It's a shame that this stone is so beautiful, it's a shame that it's chopped. ”
An Zheng said suddenly, and everyone's attention was focused on him.
An Zheng walked up to Gao Yuanhu and hugged his fists: "I've seen Mr. Gao." ”
Gao Yuanhu returned the salute: "You are Gongzi An?"
An Zheng nodded: "It's exactly here, Mr. Gao shouldn't need the things in this stone very much, but I happen to be in urgent need, so Mr. Gao transferred this thing to me?"
Gao Yuanhu was stunned, and his heart was a little moved.
Guo Yu stood up and said, "This is not good, the gambling game is not over yet, how can it be transferred to you?"
An Zheng took out a stack of silver tickets from his cuffs, picked out a 10,000 taels from it and handed it to Gao Yuanhu: "There is a little girl at home, who likes this blue and faint light the most, pestering me, but I can't find anything for a while." Now that I have it, can Mr. Gao transfer it to me?"
Without waiting for Gao Yuanhu to answer, An Zheng took out another silver ticket: "This is 20,000 taels, 15,000 taels is considered to be paid to you, 5,000 taels is the deposit, I will also come in to play." ”
An Zheng found that Guo Yu did not look at the county king Tan Song, but looked at the red-robed priest who was standing in the distance. The red-robed priest nodded without missing a trace, and Guo Yu immediately smiled: "Since that's the case, then forget it." I can't see that this An Gongzi is young, but he is generous. Since you are willing to take over this gamble for Mr. Gao, then this stone can not be cut, but you must choose another one. ”
Guo Yu smiled and shook the silver ticket in his hand: "But this is the gambling money you just accompanied Mr. Gao, you have to cut stones to bet, and calculate it alone." ”
An Zheng nodded: "No problem." ”
Seeing An Zheng's calm attitude, Guo Yu didn't dare to underestimate it, and stretched out his finger and pointed to the stones on the table: "Gongzi An, choose one?"
An Zheng walked over, looked at the stone that emitted a colorful light for a while, picked up a random piece and looked at it, and then put it down. Pick up another piece and see how you put it down. After repeating it like this, I couldn't look at five or six pieces of stone, and my brows wrinkled deeper and deeper.
Guo Yu couldn't help but say, "Gongzi An, what are you doing?"
An Zheng glanced back at him: "Count the money." ”
Guo Yu was stunned: "What do you mean?"
An Zheng took out the silver ticket from his cuff again, and then lined it up on the table: "I didn't prepare much when I went out today, so I brought this silver, probably ...... 500,000 taels. ”
He piled all the stones he had seen before: "Fifteen pieces, and if you count one stone, add fifteen thousand taels to it." But I don't think it's necessary to go through such a hassle, it's not good to waste time by cutting a dozen stones, and it doesn't leave a chance for others. ”
An Zheng took a stone from it: "I chose this one, and whoever chooses the rest of my love." ”
The meaning of these words was already obvious, so Zhuang Feifei smiled at the corner of her mouth: "Then I will choose a piece casually on behalf of Jushangyuan." ”
She stood up and took a random piece of stone from Ann Seng's choosing.
She asked An Zheng: "An Gongzi, how are you going to bet." ”
An Zheng put 500,000 taels of silver on the table: "Just bet on 500,000 taels, bet on this piece, gold spirit stone, the size of a fist." ”
He looked at Guo Yu: "Excuse me, do you have enough silver?"
