Section 181 Sweeping
"Five hundred taels of silver, isn't it?"
Yang Sheng looked coldly at the strong man led by him: "Wait a while, I'll let someone go in and get it." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Outside the Yang Mansion, dozens of people gathered around to watch the excitement.
Yang Wu, who was standing next to him, was a little surprised, and hurriedly stepped forward, touched Yang Sheng's back with his elbow, and whispered urgently: "What's the matter? These guys are clearly using the IOU of the cost to cheat money." I know my son's temperament best, and it must be true that he loses a few taels of silver in the gambling house. But it will never open his mouth to find someone to lend hundreds of taels of silver. Why do you ......?"
Yang Sheng looked at the three strong men standing outside the gate with a cold gaze, and said in a voice that only two people could hear, "I don't understand either. This is what the eldest lady means. ”
Yang Sheng didn't lie.
According to his original thoughts, there was no need to say anything to the three ruffians outside. It's just that just when he pulled the boy from the Yang Wu family and was about to drive the three Shengxin gambling house thugs away, he suddenly heard Yang Qiurong's voice into the secret.
"Look at what is written on the IOU. Also, whatever amount of money had to be paid on the IOU, it was given to them exactly what it was. ”
Since the eldest lady Yang Qiurong intervened, Yang Sheng of course had to absolutely obey. People who can be the door are usually more active in thinking. Although he didn't understand Yang Qiurong's true intentions, Yang Sheng could guess a little.
Soon, an old servant of the Yang family took out five silver ingots wrapped in red paper from the inner courtyard. Yang Sheng had a gloomy face, waved his hand, and the old servant handed the silver to the strong man standing outside. The three ruffians gathered around, and there was no problem with the silver ingot, so, with an extremely arrogant look, they pretended to arch their hands towards Yang Sheng, "Hey, hey, hey" laughed and said, "Hussar General's Mansion." Sure enough, it's a promise. Hahahaha! Shengxin Casino welcomes this kind of guests who are willing to pay the bill. ”
An old servant brought a basin of water from the courtyard and threw it towards the road outside. It seems to be cleaning the streets, and it seems to be driving away dirty and disgusting garbage.
Yang Sheng and Yang Wu hurriedly returned to the mansion, and from a distance, they saw Yang Qiurong in a white dress standing in the center of the hall, with a faint sneer on his face.
Yang Sheng bowed down. He said respectfully, "Lady Hui, according to your orders, the silver has been given to those people. ”
Yang Qiurong nodded, his tone was full of contempt, and his voice had undisguised killing intent: "Do you see clearly?
Yang Sheng nodded and said, "I can see it clearly, word for word." ”
Yang Wu was a little anxious beside him, and hurriedly interjected: "Miss, that kid in my family has caused trouble for the house by recklessness, and the five hundred taels of silver will be deducted from my salary in the future!"
Yang Qiurong said with an unchanged expression and tone: "This matter has nothing to do with you. It's that some people don't like our Yang family. Deliberately want to **** to test the truth. ”
After a pause, she continued to say to Yang Wu: "The gambling house is not something that anyone can open. That kid in your family doesn't look like a rich man when he dresses up, and even if the gambling house wants to set up a frame, he won't choose the poor to start. If it weren't for the rich family, who would have been able to get five hundred taels of silver? If I'm not mistaken, it should be my younger brother who won a battle in southern Xinjiang, and some people in the court and China don't like it and deliberately want to test one or two. Incidentally. Leave a horse to give our Yang family as a warning. ”
Yang Wu suddenly became angry. A faintly raised green tendon burst out on his forehead: "Damn, who is it? Who dares to go against the young master and the young lady? Lao Tzu will definitely not spare him!"
Yang Qiurong's delicate and beautiful face showed a faint smile: "Since people have made a move, we must continue." Otherwise, there will be more bastards who will bully **** in the future. ”
Yang Sheng was a little puzzled: "In that case, why do you have to take out the silver and give it to those guys?"
Yang Qiurong's gaze was extremely cold. The words were as sharp as knives, but the smile looked extremely evil, like a beautiful devil full of temptation: "The IOU has the signature of Uncle Yang Wu's son." Don't say it's just 500 taels, even if it's 5,000 taels, we have to recognize it. Take out the money and pay the bill. Otherwise, it is wordless and untrustworthy. The Yang family is a wealthy aristocrat, how can they cheat like a street scoundrel? Since they have lost and borrowed money, then they should be as much as they want, and even if they owe a copper plate, they must honestly repay it. ”
"Of course, this account still has to be settled. ”
Saying that, Yang Qiurong's words changed: "Shengxin Gambling House will not run away by itself." Pass my word, keep an eye on the three people who **** the cashier. Also, Shengxin Gambling House also has to send people over to guard it at all times. By tomorrow night at the latest, there must be a result of this. The Yang family has been low-key for so many years, and many people have forgotten that my father started by killing Rong Di. The general's knife can kill the enemy, and it is absolutely not insulting and desecrating. Those who dare to offend the tiger will be punished!"
......
During the day, the business of Shengxin Gambling House is usually the best in the afternoon.
It is a small two-story building, and the second floor is a private room, specially set up for guests who make mistakes. Those who bet less than two hundred taels will definitely not be invited upstairs. The private room is very quiet, and there is free fragrant tea. However, the customers who come to the casino to play are all for the winnings, and no one is interested in tea.
The lobby on the first floor is spacious, with space for passage between the six gaming tables. This is also the common pattern of almost all gambling houses in the world, and what is sought is a "six or six Shun". As for money, as long as you are lucky, it will come like a tidal wave, and you can't stop it.
Looking at the expressionless guest in front of him, Mei Laosan was faintly panicked.
It was a tall young man. He was wearing a black robe, the texture was ordinary cotton and linen fabric, and the workmanship was also very average. There is nothing surprisingly special in his appearance, he speaks the official dialect of Chu State, and his words are correct and round.
As the head of the gambling house, Mei Laosan usually stays upstairs and accompanies noble guests. It's just that today's situation is a little special, and when the attendant passed the word from below, this guest had already won more than three hundred taels of silver.
Shengxin Gambling House is a well-known large-scale casino in the capital of Chu State, and the silver that comes and goes every day is at least tens of thousands of taels. Of course, three hundred taels is not a problem, and it will not attract Mei Laosan's attention. There is something special about this guest, though, according to the dealer. The original book he placed his bet on was only a copper plate.
A copper plate is a penny. On the street, you can buy two meat buns, or a bowl of beef noodle soup. The sweet and sour sugar gourd is also a bunch of pennies, and there are also the favorite baked cakes of hard-working men, which can be bought two for a penny. Just add some soup to deal with it, it's a meal.
The exchange rate of money is the same in all parts of the world. A thousand copper plates are consistent, equivalent to one or two lines of silver.
The man plays the big and small, and it is also the most popular item among the guests in Shengxin Casino. The rules are very simple, if the three dice are rolled out and the number of points facing up is one to nine, it is small. If it's ten to eighteen, it's great. No matter how big or small you buy, as long as you win, the odds are one to one.
Of course. There are also cases where three dice appear at the same time as a "leopard". If the customer bets on the buy, the dealer must pay 100 times the bet. However, this situation is really rare, as long as it is a customer in their right mind, they will not choose to bet on the "leopard" column. Therefore, shaking out the leopard is equivalent to killing the dealer.
The dealer's words shocked Mei Laosan when he heard it.
The guest only took out a copper coin as a gambling book, and he had already won three hundred taels of silver. Thereinto. There was not a single leopard, and they were all bought in size.
And that's not the worst thing. Gamblers have a psychology of following the trend. Especially when you don't have a good hand, you often choose to bet with someone who is more lucky. The copper coins placed in front of the young man changed from one to two, and then to ingots of silver. Of course, this kind of thing will attract attention, and there is no reason not to make a fortune with people who are lucky.
Things quickly got out of hand, and the dealer had to pay out one by one in the face of a large number of bettors. In less than half an hour. Just in this gambling table, Shengxin Gambling House has lost tens of thousands of taels of silver.
Mei Laosan replaced the dealer and looked at the man standing opposite with sharp eyes.
He was aloof, without any expression on his face. I can't see the specific identity from the clothes I wear, and I don't have the suffocation of the powerful and rich.
The more this kind of person who does not move. Mei Laosan felt more afraid.
He clenched his fists and said with a smile: "Dare to ask the guest officer, is it ......?"
The young man looked impatient: "What are you doing with so much nonsense?" Lao Tzu is here to win money, if you want to listen to people, it is better to go to Wanhualou to find two sisters to sing." Just your old duck's throat, just listening to it makes me feel uncomfortable. Hurry up, shake the dice, Lao Tzu is in a hurry to bet. ”
These words are no different from swearing. At that moment, a few thugs standing next to him with big waists and big shoulders were about to rush forward, but they were stopped by Mei Laosan quietly waving his hand.
Shengxin Gambling House is not Mei Laosan's property. To be able to set up a gambling house in this capital city, in addition to money, you must also have extremely powerful power. Mei Laosan didn't have these things, but he was calm, careful, and cautious, so he was naturally favored by the master and became the manager of this gambling house.
The most important factor in mixing in the rivers and lakes is to have a pair of old spicy eyes, knowing who can be messed with and who can't be messed with. Mei Laosan has been mixed in the road for decades, and he has long been perfect. The depth of the young man in front of him could not be explored, but no matter what, the fact that he could win three hundred taels of silver with a copper plate was terrifying. Unable to know the other party's roots, Mei Laosan decided to take the safest and most commonly used method to spend money to eliminate the disaster.
People who come to the gambling house are all for money. Instead of inexplicably provoking the tough enemy, it is better to spend some money and send the **** plague god away early.
Picking up the dice cup and thumping it a few times, Mei Laosan set the dice cup on the table and stretched out his right hand to the gambling table: "Please bet on the guest officer." ”
There are hundreds of gamblers gathered next to it. Countless pairs of eyes converged on the young man, full of greed and expectation. Everyone is watching to see how he bets, and whether he will still be able to bring himself good luck and fortune as before.
The man grabbed all the money in front of him and placed it heavily in the "leopard" slot directly above the table. Suddenly, there was a gasp and uproar all around.
Every one of them before was either big or small, and the man had never bought a leopard. After all, the odds of a hundred are so low that no one would do it except for crazy gamblers who want to take a last gamble.
No one followed the man to place the bet. Things have gotten weird and out of the norm. Some bright-eyed gamblers quietly leave and take it when they see it. Although some people can see that the situation has changed, they stand by with the mentality of watching the excitement, but they do not bet. There were also some stupid and ignorant fellows who were still shouting and throwing the money in their hands on the table. According to their own judgment, they bought big and small, that is, no one followed the man to bet on the leopard bar.
Mei Laosan kept a smile on his face.
He felt that this guest was not as difficult to deal with as he had imagined. As a veteran of gambling, Mei Laosan didn't need to open the dice cup to know that he had shaken out two, one, and four small points. There is a slight difference between the roll of the dice and the collision that comes out. Of course, ordinary people can't hear it, and Mei Laosan has also undergone special training. After many years of immersion in this way, I have developed this ability.
The moment the dice cup was opened, the smile on Mei Laosan's face completely froze.
He saw three dice lying quietly at the bottom of the cup, with the red dots facing upward.
Three ones, leopards.
Mei Laosan's eyes widened, and the muscles on his face twitched uncontrollably.
He screamed in his heart, "This is impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"
Controlling the dice cup is a subtle skill, and Mei Laosan can swear with his own head that the points that were shaken out before are definitely not like this. If you can't even tell the difference between "leopard" and "small", you are not qualified to continue to stay in the position of gambling house steward.
The young man slammed the table. Mei Laosan was very dissatisfied with Mei Laosan, who was stunned, and his voice was a little higher than before: "What's the matter? Hurry up, pay the money." One hundred and thirty thousand taels of silver, bring it to me immediately. ”
Mei Laosan was woken up from the shock. He gave the young man a deep look, turned his head, and whispered a few words to the dealer standing next to him. In a moment, the dealer who turned away quickly returned. There were a few more large silver tickets in his hand, which happened to be 30,000 taels.
Tens of thousands of taels of silver are a lot of money. Shengxin Gambling House can still afford to lose.
However, the young man did not leave according to Mei Laosan's wishes. He still looked at Mei Laosan with a joking gaze, and said lightly: "Keep playing the dice cup! Uncle Ben hasn't finished his fun, and your gambling house hasn't closed yet." ”
It's afternoon, and it's the busiest time of the day.
Mei Laosan felt a little bitter in his mouth. He was tempted to put down the dice cup and tell the man that the casino was now closed. However. This kind of thing is not something that a mere steward can call the shots. Thinking of this, Mei Laosan turned around again and whispered a few words to the dealer's cronies.
"Hurry up and get the owner. This person should be **** looking for trouble. This kind of thing can only be solved by the owner. ”
Shengxin Casino has a set of emergency mechanisms. At that moment, Mei Laosan gestured to the bodyguards standing around with his eyes. The sturdy men gathered around, shouting in their mouths, pushing and grabbing their hands, and drove away the gamblers gathered in the hall. It was only a tea time, and in the originally lively and chaotic hall, only the young man was left as a guest.
"Boom!"
The crash of the heavy door shutting hard rang out from behind the man. The bad-eyed thugs gathered around from several directions, their faces full of undisguised ferocity and abuse.
Mei Laosan, who controlled the audience, suddenly settled down. He stood up straight, slowly shook each other's palms, and said with a smile: "I don't know the name of the guest official? I just don't know, why do the guest officers repeatedly force each other?"
The young man didn't seem to hear Mei Laosan's smug words. He frowned and pounded the table impatiently: "What the hell is going on? I told you to roll the dice, I haven't played enough!"
At this moment, a strong man with a strong physique rushed over, and with a loud "pop", his fist slammed into the table next to the young man. The strong man spit out a strong smell of bad breath from his mouth, and said with a cruel smile: "Do you want to play?
There is an element of alternative to this sentence. The game between men is not just as boring as fist banging. For intimate contact between bodies, there have been hobbies of the same gender from ancient times to the present.
The strong men in the casino all laughed, everyone upstairs and downstairs laughed, and all kinds of voices came out. Some shouted that the young man should be stripped naked, some threatened to turn him on the table into a toy, and others shouted that some part of his body should be removed.
The strong man led by him was very proud, and Mei Laosan did not stop it, standing opposite and sneering and watching. Those who dare to **** to make trouble deserve such punishment. This is Shengxin Gambling House, not a gambling den controlled by rural gangsters. Since you don't think it's enough to take 30,000 taels of silver, then you can simply keep everything on you.
With an extremely presumptuous laugh, the strong man at the head grabbed the young man's shoulders and wanted to tear the long shirt on the other party's body in the most violent and savage way.
At this moment, the strong man's huge body suddenly left the ground, flew upwards at an unimaginable angle, and threw a standard circular trajectory in the air, smashing into the ground like a heavy hammer with the sound of the "whirring" wind.
He was heavy, crushing a few chairs, sawdust flying around, and a crisp cracking sound that everyone could hear. The chubby body is like a cowhide bag filled with water, and when it falls to the ground with a "snap", its legs and feet are instantly bent, appearing in front of everyone's eyes at an extremely strange angle.
