At midnight, in the eight alleys in the center of the imperial city, the Juhao gambling house was still brightly lit, and the people inside were full of people, and the gamblers were all red-eyed, staring intently at the table, waiting for the moment when the gambling cup was opened.

Juhao Gambling House is the largest gambling house in the Imperial City, and his owner is Shen Huiqian, the richest man in the Imperial City, but everyone knows that the financiers behind it are the Guyue family and those high-ranking officials of the imperial court.

Just as the gamblers ignored the late night and indulged their desires, two figures staggered in, they were full of alcohol, apparently having just drunk too much.

These two people, one is a bearded man, with his stomach upside down, dressed in silk and satin, gold and silver, like nouveau riche. The other was a woman, whose body was tightly wrapped, but her figure was very graceful, and her face was covered with a veil, and she could not see clearly.

As soon as he entered, the bearded man threw a bag of silver on the gambling table and shouted, "All down, hurry up, don't waste time." ”

When the gamblers on the left and right saw that it was a drunkard, they immediately moved a little away, and the thugs of the gambling stall quietly followed the bearded man to prevent him from making trouble with alcohol.

Those who come are all guests, and if there is money to send to gamble, the treasure game will naturally be opened.

When the owner of the cabinet opposite picked up the bag, he couldn't help but froze. It was not filled with silver, but with gold ingots!

You must know that in Dayuan, the ratio of gold to silver is one to ten, but the gold ingots of the ingots are not comparable to broken silver in terms of fineness and weight.

And this bag was full of ten gold ingots, and all of them were taken out to gamble, even if it was a well-known high roller in the imperial city. It seems that these two people are dressed as if they are from the Northern Desert, but they are exaggerated in their generosity.

In the first game, all the gold ingots thrown out casually were naturally lost, but the bearded man didn't even blink his eyes, and continued to shout: "It's not cool, is there a cool stall, Lao Tzu wants to open up all sides tonight." ”

Casinos like this kind of high roller the most, and they don't care if they lose ten gold ingots. Before the bearded man could shout a second sentence, several cabinet owners came over with a smile.

"Where is this master from? It's a fur merchant from Mobei, right?" should be the head of the big cabinet owner, although he looks fierce, he still squeezes out a smile in the face of the high roller.

"Don't be verbose, Ye is not one of those lowly businessmen, saying it scares you to death. Hurry up and prepare a bigger stall, these small fights are really boring. The bearded man had a great tone, but at the moment no one suspected him of bragging.

The big cabinet owner smiled and said: "Yes, yes, may I ask you what you like to play, the three categories here are pai gow and dice, you see ......"

"It's too ordinary, I like to be a dealer, can I play this?" asked the bearded man as he put his arm around the woman beside him and raised his head.

Generally speaking, in the treasure game, they all play with the cabinet owner, and the cabinet owner can be the banker, even if it is a big high-roller, he cannot be a banker.

But it is a general gambling stall, there are many powerful people in the imperial city, and they want to play more tricks, so the gambling stall deliberately opens a new way to play, allowing high rollers to be the banker, and even set their favorite ways to play.

This practice is called being a gambling leader, and there are many gambling stalls that have the ability to do so in the Imperial City.

Juhao Gambling House naturally has such rules, but this kind of play is not announced to the public.

Several cabinet owners glanced at each other, and then respectfully said to the bearded man, "Master, please go up to the second floor to speak." Someone! Present the autumn leaves!"

Autumn leaves are a unique tea game in the gambling stalls, which is made with three new teas from the bitter cold land, cooked in the imperial city of Hupao Spring, and the whole process is even more complicated, there are 28 processes for a cup of tea.

Those who can drink this kind of tea in the Juhao gambling stall are naturally either rich or expensive, and they are not comparable to ordinary gamblers.

Under the guidance of the cabinet owner, the two went up to the second floor, and in the private room, there were already a few guests, who seemed to be Juhao's regular customers.

When the bearded man saw that there were other people, he said unhappily: "Why are there other people?

The owner of the cabinet hurriedly explained: "These are all regular customers of the treasure file, and everyone can make up a game if they are fateful." ”

Seeing the bearded man's attitude, several gamblers were already a little displeased, isn't this a clear disdain for people?

"It seems that Your Excellency is a foreigner? The rules here are different, and it is better to follow the customs of the locals if you don't know. A middle-aged man in a goatee brocade robe said disdainfully.

The bearded man laughed and said: "I just don't like to follow the customs, it's better for us to gamble a game, if you lose, I will be the banker, and the rules will be according to what I say." ”

When the dealer was mentioned again, the goatee showed even more disdain, and said coldly: "It's Juhao here, do you know how much money a dealer costs?"

The bearded man asked in confusion, "How much, despite the offer." ”

This time, the goatee did not speak, but looked at the owner of the cabinet with interest. The price of the village here is naturally sky-high, and even these people can't bear it.

At this moment, when he arrived on the second floor, the owner of the big cabinet naturally told the truth: "This master, the banker's purchase price is five thousand taels, gold." ”

Five thousand taels of gold is fifty thousand taels of silver, and this is only the buying price of the dealer of the treasure game, if you count the gambling money, isn't it 100,000 taels of silver?

You must know that 100,000 taels is the tax silver of several counties, even if it is a prince, the annual income is only 10,000 taels. Of course, this is only a superficial appearance.

The bearded man seemed to be stunned, and the goatee just wanted to laugh at it, when he heard the bearded man look at the woman in his arms and say, "Lady, I don't have enough change, you can give me more." ”

The woman finally spoke, and her voice was very pleasant: "It's all for you to save a little, even the five thousand taels of gold are gone, it's true." ”

After that, the woman casually threw out a night pearl and said to the big cabinet owner: "Seli night pearl, special color, you look at the price." There are also 30,000 taels of silver tickets here, which are used as gambling funds. ”

Night pearls are still very rare in Dayuan, except for a few collected by the royal family, even if they are rich, they can't get it. At this moment, this woman actually threw out a priceless night pearl casually, which is simply staggering.

This time, not only the goatee, but the other regulars kept their mouths shut, and a few of them secretly got up and left.

Gambling is a close competition, if one party's financial resources far exceed the others, no gambling skills, even luck can crush everyone.

However, most gamblers don't believe in this truth, thinking that they can win money from the gambling stall, but in fact, they are just laughing and generous.

But those high rollers are different, they use their financial resources to divide the money from the casino, and they win the money of those small individual customers.

The big cabinet owner put away the night pearl, he is also knowledgeable, so naturally there is no need to inspect it. I saw that he was so smiling that he even had a forehead tattoo, and his body was even more bowed like a shrimp.

"This master, I'm going to set up a game for your old man, I don't know what you want to play?"

The bearded man sat on the throne with a grin, looked at everyone and said slowly: "I want to bet on secrets, do you dare?"

What kind of operation is this? Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
