Chapter 123: A Penny (7)
There used to be casinos in the imperial capital, but after Jiang Changgongzi came, he seemed to smash everyone's jobs. The venue, number of people, odds and flowing water of Sanfu Casino deservedly topped the imperial capital, and it disrupted the business of all casinos with an absolute advantage, which made people grit their teeth with hatred, but they couldn't touch him.
Chu Shixia strode into the casino with the struggling Deng Mian, and the keen little guy immediately sent the news to the Jiang Changgongzi Mansion. Jiang Changgongzi was so busy that he had two bubbles on his mouth, and he had just sat down at home to drink tea, and was disturbed by this sudden bad news.
"Chu Zhixia? What is she here for? The tendons on Jiang Changgongzi's head jumped suddenly, and he couldn't wait to faint immediately.
The little guy replied tremblingly: "Gambling money." ”
Jiang Changgongzi said that it was absolutely impossible.
Since he suffered a dumb loss last time, Jiang Changgongzi has not made up for the lack of compensation until now, so he made up his mind to go around the surnamed Chu, and made a note to her in his heart, vowing to pay for the blood debt of the Chu family in the clouds. Unexpectedly, he didn't look for Chu Zhixia to settle the account of the blue-eyed snake gall, but Chu Zhixia had to step on his face to find trouble.
"Childe, this eldest lady is not easy to provoke, and she also has the son of Dali Siqing. If she sees the tricks of Botou, it won't be ......"
Jiang Changgongzi waved his hand in annoyance and said, "That's it, there is no shortage of one or two days." Let people stare at her, and don't do anything about the gambling game she meddles in. ”
"Yes."
The little guy hurriedly ran out, but the more Jiang Changgongzi thought about it, the more uneasy he became, and he stopped the person again.
"Call the best guards in the house, and we'll go and sit upstairs in the casino." Jiang Changgongzi said.
?——
The casino was filled with shouts, as if the louder the louder, the better luck.
The peddlers at the gambling table were pawns, three-class, tall, short, fat and thin, all of whom looked different, but the way they slapped the money on the table and yelled at the table made them look like they had the same face.
Chu Zhixia's sporadic experience in the casino was either squatting or raiding, and he had no experience as a gambler. She looked at every table as if she was shopping, and she was not angry when she was pushed by a hot-blooded gambler, and Deng Mian was frightened.
Broken silver, copper plates, and even silver ingots were covered with a layer of greasy hot sweat and slammed on the table. Chu Zhixia and Deng Mian wandered around the casino several times, and the people who followed them were all sweating.
"Sanfu Casino is now the largest casino in the imperial capital with the largest variety of gambling, big and small, odd and even, double land, leaf cards, everything." Deng Mian spoke almost in Chu Zhixia's ear, and if he was not careful, he would be drowned out by the sound of a wave, "Before this, several casinos did not interfere with each other and operated independently. ”
Deng Mian asked with the last trace of anticipation: "You don't really want to bet, do you?" ”
"Why not bet?" Chu Shixia asked rhetorically.
"Gambling is terrible!" Deng Mian said weakly, "If you lose once, you will definitely want to win back, and if you win once, you want to win forever, endlessly." Only casino owners make money! ”
Chu Zhixia smiled at him mysteriously, hooked his neck, and pointed to the person in front of him at the gaming table. The man was a thin, pale young man, as if he had only a skeleton of bones stuck to the ground, and the wind blew it. He hunched over the table like a shrimp, his eyes fixed on the divided gold and silver on the table.
"See this person?" Chu Zhixia asked.
"I'm not blind." Deng Mian said truthfully, "But I can't see that there are too many." ”
"I've been keeping an eye on him from the moment I first walked in." Chu Zhixia said, "You look at the movements of his hands, his thumb and index finger have been rubbing constantly, which is the habit of people who play leaf cards. But if you are a person who plays leaf cards, why would you bet on dice? ”
"Maybe he's just trying to change his taste?"
"But he's been losing," Chu Shixia retorted, "and he's not in a hurry at all." You find out no, he's always bet on the side with the odds, so he keeps losing. But he'll still bet on that side next time, as if he knows he's going to turn it over. ”
He's waiting for a certain time, or rather, a certain node.
And the odds at this table have come to a terrible 1-17, which means that if the next one wins, he can take all the money from the table.
Deng Mian was still a little confused, "Is he stupid to lose?" ”
"No, it's these people at the table who are stupid." Chu Zhixia patted him on the shoulder and said, "This person is the trustee of the casino." ”
Some of these people at the gambling table use their hard-earned money to gamble, some use their family's life-saving money to gamble, and some people want to steal and rob to gamble, looking forward to stepping out of the casino and living a fairy life. But they did not know that from the first moment they stood at the table, they were lambs to the slaughter.
"Let's go, let's take a gamble."
"Are you crazy? Do you know that they are out of the woods, and they still bet with them? Deng Mian hurriedly grabbed her, "Don't you know that your brother's reward has been deducted?" You Zhenbei Wangfu still have to tighten your belt to live, what kind of head are you doing? ”
Chu Zhixia raised an eyebrow to look at him.
Deng Mian said aggrievedly: "I'll come." ”
"You pay, I'll gamble. Rest assured, you won't lose. Chu Zhixia touched his head with relief and said, "Whoever dares to make a thousand under my nose, I let Yu Linwei raid his field." ”
The words she said were just drowned out by the boiling voices, but they landed impartially on the ears of the casino guys who were spying on her. When the guy heard "Yu Linwei", he immediately shook his spirit, and crawled to the ground to report to Jiang Changgongzi.
Chu Zhixia glanced back at the person who had fled in the desert and showed a satisfied smile. Deng Mian didn't know why, although Chu Zhixia took him to swagger through the city to cause trouble, he never harmed him. He gritted his teeth, but still squeezed through the crowd at the gambling table and let Chu Zhixia stand in.
"New customer," said Botou with a smile, "do you know the rules of the casino?" ”
"No matter where you are, isn't having money the rule?" Chu Zhixia smiled and had a temperament that was not stingy.
For the first time, Deng Mian felt that he was the eagle and the dog who flew the eagle's lackey, the evil servant who helped the young master rob the people's girls or men, and the old lady who stepped forward to give people two big mouths when she didn't agree with each other, and would point to people's noses at any time and scold, "Do you know who our master is?" But he resisted the urge to raise his hand, and very sloppily untied the money bag around his waist, pulled open the drawstring, and slowly poured the contents onto the table.
The expression must beg to be beaten, and the eyes must be stupid. Deng Mian shamefully recalled how he used to be.
What poured out of the embroidered jade money bag was not copper plates, nor broken silver, or even silver ingots, but grains of golden beans.
Chu Zhixia was also stunned, she barely held her indifferent and arrogant expression, and asked close to Deng Mian's ear, "Why did you bring so much money?" His eyes were fierce, as if he was telling Deng Mian to cut off Botou's head and shake the dice.
Deng Mian smiled slightly, and replied in the same whisper: "You said you wanted to come to the casino, so much I brought with you." If you had said it was the Jiang family's casino, I would have come over bare-chested. ”
Chu Zhixia gave him a thumbs up.
"There's another chapter. It's not that the family understands it, it's been drenched into a dog, so today is going to be a little later than the previous two days, report a little, report a little."
