Chapter 279: Profiteering
In those days, gambling houses were a lucrative business. To be able to open a gambling house in the city, there is no strong power behind it, that is not to be considered.
Bliss Fang is just an ordinary gambling house in Ning County, and there are more than ten such gambling houses in the entire county.
Although the gambling house is not big, the backer behind it is really not small, and it is the Lan family, one of the six major families in Ning County.
"Bet big and bet small!
"Bet on! Bet on!"
"Do you want to buy it?
"Peanuts, melon seeds, broad beans, game!
"Who the fuck is farting?
In this small room with a smoky miasma, the lights are bright and the voices of people are boiling, no less than the vegetable market in the previous life.
On the fence on the second floor of gambling, a short and fat steward with drooping eyes stood beside a slender and tall young man with iron gall in his hand, and pointed to a patched and unkempt young man downstairs and said: "Tiger Master, look! It's that kid!"
Wang Hu looked at the young man's back, turned his iron gall, and said in a calm voice: "What's going on?"
"That kid doesn't know what kind of evil magic he used, and when he came in, he won all the tricks, and in less than half an hour it was already five hundred taels! ”
Five hundred taels was not a small amount for their small gambling house.
"Did you change people?"
The so-called ten bets nine lose, if the person who comes in is lucky, it is very correct to win two or three in a row, but as long as you can't control it, you will definitely lose in the end.
Sometimes, in order to tempt newcomers, the gambling house will use some means to let the other party eat the sweetness a few times first.
There is only one kind of person who can win, that is, the gambling master, in the face of this kind of person, there are gambling masters in the gambling hall who are specially designed to deal with it, as long as there is a situation, they will be replaced immediately.
"The guy who got started now is the best monkey we've got here!
"Didn't mention him?"
The so-called mention point is to give a warning to the person who bets, so that he can accept it when he sees it.
"I mentioned it earlier! But this kid is getting bigger and bigger! I've already let people drag him down, but looking at his appearance, he is determined to fight us!"
The short and fat butler's face was angry, and the corners of his eyebrows that couldn't be raised gave people a sense of viciousness.
Wang Hu stopped his spinning iron gall and squinted his eyes to look at the young man carefully.
"Have you ever recognized it, is it from another family?"
"The fifth and sixth sons have seen this person!"
"It's not a Raptor, but Jiang looks like I'll have to get back to him personally. ”
With a gurgling sound, Wang Hu walked downstairs.
The gamblers downstairs seemed to know Wang Hu, and when they saw that it was him, they unconsciously got out of the way.
After walking to the young man's side, the organic spirit's subordinate patted the young man's shoulder and said, "This guest, our owner wants to meet you!"
Song Yifei, who was about to place a bet with a large number of fragmentary silver tickets in his hand, turned around to look at Wang Hu, who was expressionless, and asked in a flat voice: "What is the matter?"
Seeing Song Yifei turn around, Wang Hu narrowed his eyes slightly, the muscles of the tiger's mouth in his right hand slowly tensed, and the two iron galls rotated back and forth.
He didn't reply immediately, but first looked Song Yifei up and down carefully, and after making sure that there was no threat, he said slowly: "Guest, I see that you have won a lot!
He didn't explain that after all, he opened his door to do business, and there was no reason to open his mouth to drive away customers. They can't do this kind of thing even if they are gambling houses, otherwise the fame will spread, and who will dare to come.
"Rest, oh! I see!"
Seeing Wang Hu's battle, Song Yifei was not a fool, knowing that the other party was giving an order to evict guests.
He simply flipped through the silver ticket in his hand, and felt that it looked like seven hundred taels.
That's enough.
"In that case, let's rest!"
Putting the silver ticket in his arms, Song Yifei turned around and left the gambling table and walked towards the door of the gambling house.
"Huh?"
Seeing Song Yifei take the money and leave so neatly, Wang Hu and Humpty Dumpty were all surprised.
Wang Hu bumped into the iron gall of the hand, nodded at the short and fat steward, and then turned around and walked upstairs alone.
The short and fat steward understood, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, because of the flash of cruelty, and then followed Song Yifei three steps away.
For the short and fat steward who followed behind him, Song Yifei didn't pay attention to it, and he didn't pay attention to the small movements of the two.
When he was about to reach the door, he suddenly stopped, turned and walked to a small room beside him.
It was a separate closed room, with only a thin bookkeeper in a gray cotton coat, and two thugs with bulging muscles and only strong suits.
Song Yifei took out ten taels of silver tickets, as well as a deed of sale, and put it on the pear blossom wooden table in front of Mr. Ledger.
"It's the principal and the interest. ”
Put the things down, and after finishing speaking, Song Yifei turned around and was about to go out.
That's right, his capital of five taels of silver was obtained by selling his body, or mortgaging himself in exchange.
Song Yifei still has a bit of a bottom line, and he respects the spirit of the contract, after all, the other party borrowed money from him in danger, although the interest rate is exaggerated.
Crash!
The bookkeeper shook the deed of sale in his hand, stared at the candlelight, and when he was sure that it was all right, he was ready to collect the money.
Although few people who signed a deed of sale came in to gamble for money, few of them could turn over, but the probability was small, there were many times, and there were always a few lucky people, so he didn't care too much.
"Ahem, ahem!"
Suddenly, a familiar cough sounded heard.
The bookkeeper stopped collecting the money, looked up, and saw that it was Humpty Dumpty.
"Zheng ......"
was about to get up to say hello, but he saw the short and fat steward signaling to him, and then stretched out his hand to stop Song Yifei, who was halfway away.
"This brother, don't be in a hurry to leave!"
After stopping Song Yifei, the short and fat steward smiled and said to Mr. Ledger: "Mr. Liu, do you see clearly? If you don't see clearly, just take a look!"
As he said the last three words, Humpty Dumpty's voice intensified and he squeezed his eyes twice at Mr. Bookkeeper.
This time, Song Yifei noticed the small movements of the short and fat steward, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he turned around, revealing an interesting look.
The old birthday star eats arsenic and eats it on his head!
It was not the first time that Mr. Bookkeeper had done such a thing, and he immediately understood what Humpty Dumpty meant. He pretended to be serious and picked up the deed of sale and looked at it, and then said: "There is indeed a problem with this account, this is not the sky, but the ......."
After looking at the short and fat steward, the bookkeeper continued: "And it's a cup of tea, and now it's over ten cups, so it should be fifty taels!"
Tea!
Mr. Bookkeeper's words almost amused Song Yifei.
The first time I heard that the interest is calculated according to the cup of tea.
"Fifty taels, yes! Okay, here you go!"
In the face of the obvious difficulties between the two, Song Yifei did not argue, nor did he attack, he took out another forty taels of silver tickets from his arms and put them on the table.
is so obvious, and even too difficult, Song Yifei is so simple that he confuses Mr. Ledger.
"This, this ......"
When the bookkeeper didn't know whether to accept it or not, Humpty Dumpty spoke again.
"Mr. Liu, aren't we all profitable? Are you mistaken!"
"Ahh
