Chapter 24: Ten Gambles and Ten Deceptions

Tang Ji and the others came to the Silver Hook Gambling House under the leadership of Lei Qizhi.

As soon as a few people stepped into the gambling house, a short and fat man with a copper smell came up: "Are a few distinguished guests coming to our gambling house for the first time?" ”

Lei Qizhi told Tang Ji and the three of them before that when they entered the gambling house, they should not be separated at will, and they should not talk nonsense, everything was under Lei Qizhi's command.

Lei Qizhi pointed at the short and fat man and said, "Let's just take a look, you go and greet others." ”

Humpty Dumpty retreated.

Tang Ji entered the casino for the first time, and saw that in this casino, whether it is a gambling table, gambling equipment or even furniture furnishings, all of them are gorgeous and exquisite.

Moreover, the place is wide, not only there are three halls in the front, middle and back, but also there are connected halls on the left and right of each hall, so although there are nearly 100 people gambling here, they do not feel crowded at all.

The most eye-catching thing is that the dealers who are responsible for presiding over the gambling games in each hall, and even the maids who pour tea and serve cigarettes, are all moving girls with young and jade appearances, and they are all dressed sexy, wearing bandeau and belly pocket-like red clothes, lined with green short clothes, the jade lotus-like arms and fair and slender jade legs are completely exposed, and when shuttling back and forth to the gambling tables, they are even more graceful.

That Chun Tao has been in the forgetting building for a long time, so he is naturally not surprised by this, but Tang Ji has never seen such a scene, although he silently recited the rude in his heart, but he still couldn't help but glance at the maidservant.

Lei Qizhi saw Tang Ji's appearance, recalled the scene when he first entered the gambling house, and couldn't help laughing, Tang Ji saw Lei Qizhi looking at him and laughing, and lowered his head with a blushing face.

Lei Qizhi led the three of them to a table crowded with twenty or thirty people, only to see the moving female dealer put three bone dice into a square cup, covered the cup, raised it above his head, shook it vigorously, and then put it on the table, and shouted: "Distinguished guests, please bet!" ”

I saw that there were two large red and black pieces on the table, with a "big" word written in the red center, surrounded by eight numbers from eleven to eighteen, and a "small" word written in the black center, surrounded by three to ten, eight numbers.

"It's called a bet, and if you hit the sum of the numbers on the three dice, you get a bet that goes to 10. You can also bet on the size, three to ten for the small, eleven to eighteen for the large, and you can get a bet of one to one. Lei Qizhi explained to Tang Ji as he took out a gold ingot of fifty taels from his body and threw it on the number eighteen.

The dealer glanced at Lei Qizhi in surprise, opened the lid of the cup, and saw that the numbers on the three dice were three sixes, eighteen points, and big.

After winning five hundred taels, Lei Qizhi collected the slips issued by the gambling house and did not continue, but said to Chun Tao, "Go find your father." ”

Chun Tao hadn't recovered from the shock yet, he was stunned and motionless, Lei Qizhi said it again, and Chun Tao eased up, leading a few people through the middle hall and towards the back hall.

At the entrance of the back hall, two sturdy men stretched out their hands to stop a few people, and Lei Qizhi threw two ingots to the two people and said, "Let's redeem people." ”

The two men took the ingots, and they were overjoyed, and when one of them took the four of them into a side room in the back hall.

In the wing, I saw four or five burly men with hideous faces, playing pai gow around the table, and a man dressed as a scholar, sitting at a desk, writing a contract, and a long line on the opposite side, the people in the team, all with dejected faces, possessed by decay, obviously gamblers who had lost their eyes, came to borrow money.

The man who led the four of Tang Ji into the room said a few words in the ear of a bearded man, who got up from the table unhappily and walked towards the four.

The bearded man looked Chun Tao up and down, and Chun Tao was very uncomfortable, so he hid behind Lei Qizhi.

Lei Qizhi handed the receipt of five hundred taels of silver issued by the gambling house to the bearded man, "Let's ransom people." ”

The bearded man saw that his gambling house had opened a bill for five hundred taels, and the corners of his mouth twitched a few times unconsciously, and then ordered his subordinates to bring Chun Tao's father out.

After a while, two minions walked in with a scruffy middle-aged man with a thin face and a scarred face.

Chun Tao saw that the man was embarrassed and cried and pounced, but was stopped by a minion, Chun Tao looked back at Lei Qizhi, and Lei Qizhi looked at the beard.

"Let go." The bearded man said to the little minion

At this moment, Humpty Dumpty, who was the first to beckon Tang Ji and a few people in, was startled when he saw Lei Qizhi, and then said a few words in the ear of the bearded man.

After that, the bearded man looked at Lei Qizhi in surprise and said, "Your Excellency, do you want to play a few more." ”

"Of course, I just don't know if I can get our friend something to eat." Lei Qizhi knew that Chun Tao's father must have been starved for a few days, so he said.

……

……

Lei Qizhi took Chun Tao's father to a gambling table and asked, "Friend, do you think this one should be bought big or small?" ”

"There have been more than a dozen big ones in a row, and this one must be small." Chun Tao's father seemed to be very good at saying.

Lei Qizhi took out an ingots of fifty taels and threw them on the big one.

The dealer opens the lid of the cup, four, five, six, fifteen o'clock, large.

"Where's this one?" Lei Qizhi asked again.

"This must be small," Chun Tao's father said in a firm tone.

Lei Qizhi threw the one hundred taels he had won back into the tip.

Three fours, twelve o'clock, big.

"It's definitely small."

Lei Qizhi pressed all the silver he won on the big one

"One hundred and sixty, thirteen o'clock, big."

"Open Small"

"Three-five, fifteen-o'clock, big."

……

……

Unconsciously, Lei Qizhi continued to press, and the gambling money in his hand was more than 10,000 taels.

"What's this pressing?"

"Pressing ...... Big. ”

Lei Qizhi threw more than 10,000 taels of bills in his hand to the big one, and at this time, those gamblers who had made a lot of money with Lei Qizhi put all the gambling money in their hands on the big one.

The dealer, who was already anxious, suddenly opened the lid of the cup with a slight increase in the corners of his mouth.

Three one, three points small.

"I should stick to the small ones." Chun Tao's father said remorsefully.

"How do I get this off?"

Chun Tao's father suddenly hesitated.

"I ...... I don't know."

"But I do." After speaking, Lei Qizhi took out a gold ingot of fifty taels and threw it at three o'clock.

The rest of the gamblers at the table hesitated, wondering whether to call, and one of the cowards took out a copper coin and followed the three.

The dealer frowned and opened the lid

Three one, three points, small.

"How is this possible?" Chun Tao's father said incredulously.

"What's impossible." Lei Qizhi continued to throw the five hundred taels of receipts to three o'clock.

Most gamblers are afraid to follow, and there are also bold people who follow a few taels

The dealer's hand trembled.

Three one, three points, small.

Lei Qizhi threw the five thousand taels of receipts to three o'clock, and then said, "Do you believe it or not." ”

"I Believe"

Table gamblers have put all their gambling money on three points.

The dealer sighed.

Three sixes, eighteen points, big.

"Got it."

"Understood."

Just as Lei Qizhi led Tang Ji and the others out of the gambling house and into the carriage, the bearded man suddenly walked out, handed the five hundred taels of ingots to Lei Qizhi, and said, "Thank you seniors, raise your noble hand." ”
