The dominoes used to play Pai Gow have been handed down from the time of Huizong of the Song Dynasty, also known as Xuanhe cards. Whether it is a dignitary or a pawn of a peddler in the world, there is no shortage of people who love this way, and they often win or lose a lot between games, so there are not a few people who are bankrupt.

Meng Yishan didn't understand this thing, and when he was a head catcher, he played with the gang of errands a few times, and when he met Gao Changtai, a good gambler, he often went to his Longmen gambling house to play, and he knew a thing or two.

Eight dominoes are stacked, one stack is launched each time, each person touches two, and matches together to compete with opponents. The dealer plays the cards first, and the others follow up, and a round is played to count a bet. When you add up a few bets, the stakes are enormous.

Meng Yishan poured the shuffled cards at will, cut out a stack from them, and began to split the cards, several people wiped the cards in front of them in turn, ready to bet, Gao Hou Ye took out a hundred taels of silver tickets casually, and bet on them.

Zhao Tianze looked at it and also bet a hundred taels. Liu Li arrogantly asked the servant to take a box of gold ingots, and poured out a small half of it with a bang, which was calculated as the gambling money he had prepared tonight.

The capital is not thick and can not be a village, the bets of each family must be able to eat, Lao Meng put his hand into the sleeve of his robe and probed, took out a small half of the silver ticket, counted out a thousand taels, and arrogantly shouted: "Those who come do not refuse." ”

Gao Changtai touched the card into his hand, only to find that the texture of this domino is peculiar, the tentacles are lubricated, the ink black is slightly green, and the card body glows with a faint light under the light of the lights.

Hou Ye took a closer look and asked in surprise: "This is made of black jade?" ”

Liu Zongbing smiled proudly: "It is the division of a whole piece of Khotanese ink jade, and the master craftsman is invited to carve it carefully, and there is no flaw at all!" ”

Don't blame Liu Li for boasting, his domino is the essence of the selected black jade, which is better than the gray jade seen in the ordinary, and the high-grade Xuanyu is carved, and the body of the card is smooth and chiseled, and the craftsmanship is complete, and anyone who sees it is amazed.

Ordinary rich families search for this Khotanese jade, either cut into a dragon and phoenix pendant or take it to engrave a unicorn paperweight, which is very rare to make this kind of luxury gambling equipment.

There are great appreciative people in front of him, Zhao Tianze just has some love for this jade card, put it in his hand and play with it, and wanted to ask Liu Li to cut his love, before he could speak, Liu Zongbing asked knowingly: "Although this deck of cards is good, it is not of much use to stay with me, there is no time to touch it, it is better to give it to the lord of the domain." ”

Fan Tai was noncommittal, and he didn't say that he wanted to accept it, but he just smiled: "This card is very precious, but some don't take advantage of it, it's not as good as elephant bones." Let's go back and play cards! He turned his head and urged Meng Yishan: "Come out quickly." ”

Liu Li saw that his attitude was lukewarm, and he did not refuse sternly, knowing that this intention was right, he just waited for the gambling game to disperse, and sent someone to send this black jade card to the old man's mansion.

It's a pity that he doesn't have much chance to send it on Gao Houye's side, Gao Changtai has more connections and connections in the martial arts family, and Liu Zongbing can only hope to contact more feelings in the future.

Meng Yishan remained silent beside him, watching Liu Li's actions in his eyes. The heart said that the surname Liu's ability to do what he likes is not bad, and Lao Tzu has to follow and learn.

Liu Li's mood was refreshing, and Lao Meng pushed out the two cards he touched, turned over the one on the left, and saw a good start, it was a land card, and the idea was very big.

Meng Jian looked at the other three with a smile, and then turned over another one, the red eight points, and called the human card. These two together have a title called "Suitable for People and Land." Commonly known as the ground kong, it is a huge winning card in the small pai gow bet.

Zhao Tianze's face sank when he saw it, and he hesitated to turn over his cards. It was a goose card with an unnamed five, adding up to nine points. It was originally very large, but it pales in comparison with Lao Meng's floor bar.

Gao Changtai saw that the dealer turned out a pair of ground bars at the beginning, and said in his heart: "Unless you get the sky bar and the pair, this round is lost." He rubbed his thumb twice on the board of the card, and his expression became a little annoyed. Hou Ye unveiled the cards, the sky card with Wu Seven, a pair of heaven nine, worse than the ground bar.

Liu Li rolled up his sleeves with anticipation and opened his deck of cards, four and six, a perfect match! The big deflated ten that didn't have a point. He was so angry that he scolded his mother repeatedly, saying that his mother's card was evil!

In the opening round, all three of them lost.

"Haha! Eat it all! Meng Yishan happily put all the bets in front of him, and proudly took the position of the dealer.

Zhao Tianze couldn't get used to his rampant appearance, so he took out another five hundred taels of silver tickets from his arms and put them on the stage. He took off the jasper wrench on his middle finger and put it in front of him, and tonight the lord of the clan is going to do a big job.

Gao Hou Ye was in high spirits, and followed the raise to 1,000 taels.

Liu Lishang was a little depressed about the loss, such as his wife Yanhong saw that his face was unhappy, and hurriedly whispered to comfort him, and his charming and supple appearance made him fly to Java with a little unhappiness of losing money.

Lao Liu grabbed Mrs. Ru's little hand, and said with a smile: "Xiaohong, look at how General Ben wins!" As he spoke, he also took ten gold ingots and bet.

Knowing that Meng Yishan gambled on prosperity, this opened the cards, and turned over a pair of "miscellaneous seven" small pairs, and ate three again.

The prosecutor smiled with a scarred face, and took away all the gambling funds, and General Liu was a hero.

Liu Li lost a lot of gold, his eyes widened, pushed Mrs. Ru aside, and shouted: "Liu is happy today, no one is allowed to leave!" Let's bet on him for the night. ”

Gao Changtai, a big gambler, echoed casually: "Yes! Have fun all night out. ”

Gao Hou Ye and Zhao Tianze originally came to congratulate him, and there were not many silver belts on their bodies, so that Lao Mengdangzhuang and the two shops had made money to the bottom, so they hurriedly sent their subordinates back to the house to get the silver, ready to gamble.

The gambling money won by Meng Yishan plus the original one was about a few thousand taels. But looking at a few people, this posture will cost a lot of money! The stakes rose again, and he had some difficulty as a banker.

The four of them then drew the cards and put them right, and after a few rounds, they won and lost each other, and the atmosphere began to warm up. The chief soldier, the Hou Ye are all eyes wide open, murderous! It's like a battlefield. Meng Patrol has strong financial resources, and when the village wins a lot of cards in a row, he is also happy to shoot the case and shout.

The most literate lord of the clan also lifted his sleeves to Lao Gao, revealing a pair of bare arms, touching the cards with all his might, and chasing them loudly. Regardless of the identity and image of several people, they began to fight fiercely between these square inches.

The hustle and bustle of the outer happy hall gradually dissipated, most of the guests said goodbye and left, but a few adults in the middle were still in good spirits and smeared the dominoes there, ignoring the external affairs, Liu Li forgot about entering the cave room, ignoring the bride's complaining expression, just thinking about winning a few handfuls and having a good time.

The night was deep, the first quarter moon on the horizon was also obscured by dark clouds, the dark sky and the biting cold wind, the street had fallen into silence, and a figure suddenly turned out at the end of the long street, the person turned two streets and alleys, and stopped under a courtyard wall, inside the wall is the Luoyang Mansion Prison.

Since the prostitute Hua Die'er made trouble, the wall has increased by half a zhang, and the person who came pressed his hand on his waist, and there was a loud sound, and a cold light appeared in the darkness, which was a long knife.

The man raised his knife and looked at the high wall, smiled coldly, and his figure flew several feet high, like a paper vulture rising lightly, and instantly stood at the head of the wall, looking for the target with sharp eyes by the light inside.

The lights in the courtyard completely exposed the traces of the future people, the intruder was tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a green beard on his chin, and a ring scar on his bald head.

Tonight was when the lower courtyard of Bodhidharma was preparing to rescue the king of Xiaojun, he did not go to the palace, but broke into the Luoyang Mansion prison alone with a knife.

Jie Yi is ready to make a big fuss here, so as to provide cover for the Shaolin monks to sneak into the Yiwang Mansion, and wait for the prison door to be smashed open and all the prisoners released, and then set fire to the city, so that the chaos in the city will be even more chaotic. this

A few days later, Luoyang caught a lot of people to clear the countryside and visit foreign monks. disturbed the monks in the city day and night, and the lower courtyard of Bodhidharma was forced to hide in Tibet, which was really embarrassing. The master of the abstinence of anger held his breath in his heart and thought of it.

He stood on the wall blatantly, without even covering his face, and the ring scar on his head was shining, and he really had no scruples at all.

Even if you take a photo with the people in the government, you are not afraid, there are many wild monks in the world, and you can't trace the head of Shaolin.

Just as he was thinking about where to start, a voice came, and two night watchmen paced from the north side of the courtyard wall with lanterns in their hands.

The monk tightened the knife in his hand, ready to clean up the two unlucky ghosts first.

The weather is cold, people are lazy, the prefect Li explained, the patrol messenger asked everyone to have a warning gong, these two people are cold hands, and they are behind their backs.

I didn't have a sense of crisis at all, I just wanted to go back to the class room as soon as possible to bake the fire, I didn't look at the high wall, and I didn't squint when I walked.

As soon as the two messengers came closer, they jumped into a tiger pounce, landed behind the two of them, picked up the ring knife and slashed violently, "Ah! The two screams were mixed with "Bell! The gong sounded, and the two people let the gong behind them save their lives, but they were also smashed by this strong knife and spit blood, and they couldn't afford to stand on the ground.

He didn't expect this blow to miss, and he was stunned for a moment, and the piercing sound of gongs in the quiet night had already alarmed the surroundings.

"I'm going to die! What kind of gong is struck? Zhou Laosi went out to have a look. "There was a shouting from the night shift leader in the class room.

The poor man Zhou Laosi reluctantly opened the door curtain, forced his sleepy eyes to look out, and was startled! The two men who were patrolling the night were lying by the wall, dead or alive. A tall monk stood there with a long knife in his hand! His eyes are like torches, and he is looking this way.

The fourth child's heart chuckled, and he opened his throat in panic and shouted: "Come on!" There is a thief monk in prison! ”

The sound of wiping cards in the general soldier's mansion was rattling, and the card game of the four adults was played late at night, and the fierce battle was in full swing.

Meng Yishan has some bad conditions, the stacks of silver tickets and gold ingots in front of him are still gradually thinning, Gao Hou Ye and Zhao Tianze took the gambling money and came back to change the feng shui, a few good cards continued.

Most of the old Meng in the village is to eat one and accompany two, and if he wins Liu Li, he compensates the other two, and sometimes he simply loses three in a row, and begins to lose money in one hundred and one shop.

Qian Lun, who was watching the Pai Gow game on the side, changed his face, and the more he watched, the more angry he became, and he said that the adult was really a loser! I can't help but feel sorry for him.

Lao Meng can't lose the battle, so he doesn't change his face when he makes money, and he regards money like dung.

Compared with his brother's indifferent heroic spirit, Liu Zongbing, who was in the upper family, was not, Liu Li's eyes were already bloodshot, and his expression was fierce staring at the card table, he lost almost three thousand taels, and the box full of small gold ingots was empty! Coupled with a lot of family background, this time it can be said that it is a bloody outcome.

Zhao Tianze was a little soft when he won the money, and looked at the faces of Lao Meng and Liu Li from time to time, afraid that these two masters would lose and turn their faces in a hurry.

No matter how high the status of the feudal platform is, there is no father and son in the card game, he looked around, except for the little maid and the maid who served a few adults, he was still guarding with tiredness.

The others, including Liu Li's concubine Yanhong, didn't know when she would go down.

Lord Zhao got up slowly and said, "It's getting late, are we breaking up the game?" It's not good to disturb the good period of the chief soldier, and it's not good to let the beauty stay alone in the empty room! ”

Liu Li forgot about the candles in the cave room tonight, and he was looking forward to touching a few good cards and killing the three parties to win back the gambling money. He said with a stiff face.

"No! We're going to have to fight for it tonight, and we're not allowed to leave until dawn! Whoever walks is my son! ”

Meng Yishan sneered: "That's right, if you win, run away, I can scold his mother." ”

Gao Houye won the most, and he was playing hard. also persuaded Lord Zhao to stay, Mo swept away everyone's interest.

Fantai said that you are not afraid of a few wrongs who lose money, and it is difficult to persuade bad gamblers with good words, so you will no longer mention the words of dispersion.

Liu Li relieved his nerves and ordered his subordinates to prepare a wonton supper at night, ate it with a few adults, and then continued to play cards.

He took advantage of this leisure time to say to Meng Yishan: "Brother, how about giving the dealer to me?" Start changing the next handle? "He is anxious to win back a city, and at the moment he can only win the fastest money by sitting in the bank, and he may be able to change his hand by changing positions. begged Meng Yishan to change hands.

Lao Meng disagreed, and scolded with a smile: "Brother Liu, this is a lot of capital. You can't afford to lose all the money you are losing now, and you can't afford to lose your fart, and you should be a bird! ”

Liu Zongbing looked at the remaining silver taels in his hand, and there was really not much gold and silver thrown into it. The money he lost was worth more than ten years as a general soldier. But most of them drank the blood of soldiers and ate empty salaries, and embezzled the foreign wealth accumulated by the people's land outside the city.

Winning or losing a night is nothing in normal times. It's just that I was just promoted recently, and I spent a lot of money up and down, and I spent a lot of savings.

He had just drilled the rank of deputy chief soldier in Luoyang, and he hadn't held the seal handle yet, so he didn't have time to make money. A loss in the game makes matters worse. His eyes were red, and he wanted to get his money back.

Liu Zongbing thought about it again and again in a dilemma, and finally gritted his teeth, beckoned a confidant to his side, and whispered: "Go and call the quartermaster up, saying that the marshal is looking for him for silver." 10,000 taels less, tell him to go and be a pawn to guard the city gate! ”
