Chapter 30: The Casino Turmoil (1)

As soon as Zhang Lingyu finished blowing a song, he heard someone applaud, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that it was a handsome and dashing man in white, with a burden on his shoulders and a folding fan in his hand. The man in white walked closer, only to see that he was of medium height, lying silkworm eyebrows and phoenix eyes, high nose bridge and small mouth, a smile and two small dimples, and his fair face was still a little red, really like a little girl, if you want to change the silkworm eyebrows to willow eyebrows, that is a big beauty. He also said: "Listening to the sound of Brother Tai's flute, I know that Brother Tai's mood is extremely happy, and I don't know what Brother Tai is happy about, so I will be happy when I say it." Zhang Lingyu looked at it and sniffed and said with a dark smile: "It turned out to be a tomboy, his eyebrows are all fake, and he still smells of a woman, don't you know that I can distinguish between men and women with my eyes closed." So he smiled and said, "I don't know you, why do I tell you, there are many happy events, I think I want to marry three wives and four concubines, it is a happy event, what do you have to be happy about." The man in white smiled and said, "If you say so, I will marry four wives and three concubines, and we will be happy together." Zhang Lingyu smiled: "Then let's be happy, I didn't expect that the son was also very funny." The boy in white also smiled and said, "Each other." After a pause, he said, "Why is Brother Tai playing here alone, and there is not even a single audience, it is too unatmospheric." Zhang Lingyu said: "Aren't you a human being, you are a Da Luo Jin Immortal." The boy in white smiled and said, 'How did you know I was coming?' Zhang Lingyu said: "What I feel, you can hear it from the first note I play." The man in white said: "It turns out that you are the great immortal, and you can pinch and calculate." ’

The boy in white found a place to sit down and said: "No kidding, we are very fated to meet today, let's get to know each other, in Xia Hongfeng, Shandong Hongjiabao people, what about you?" Zhang Lingyu hugged his fists and said: "In Xia Zhang Lingyu, he used to be a man of the mountains and wilderness, and now he is a prodigal son of the rivers and lakes who is his home from all over the world." Hong Feng thought secretly: "Although this Lingyu is dressed as a hunter, it can't hide his extraordinary bearing, handsome face, it must not be an ordinary person like his clothes." Thinking of this, he asked, "Brother Zhang is practicing martial arts or practicing literature." Zhang Lingyu said: "Brother Hong, guess." Hong Feng said with a smile: "Forgive me for being stupid, I see that you are dressed like a hunter, but the jasper flute you are holding in your hand is priceless, and I really can't see it." Zhang Lingyu said: "Brother Hong is sorry, I can make a few rough articles in the following, and Wu will also have three moves and two styles." Hong Feng smiled and said: "It turns out that Brother Zhang is an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, and he is a genius who understands music, and it is a great honor to meet Brother Zhang today." Zhang Lingyu said with a smile: "You can't help in the following, you can't set the country in martial arts, what kind of genius is it, it's not that Brother Hong is laughing at it." Hong Feng said: "Brother Zhang said this, what he said below is sincere, and there is no intention of laughing." ’

Zhang Lingyu said: "Forget it, don't talk about this, where is Brother Hong going." Hong Feng said: "I came from Qingzhou Mansion and wanted to play in the south of the Yangtze River, but I don't know where Brother Zhang is going." Zhang Lingyu said: "That's really a coincidence, I am also about to go to Jinling and I don't know the way, so I just happened to go together and have a good look." Hong Feng smiled: "That's great, but I know half the way." Zhang Lingyu said: "It's okay, as the saying goes, Yangzhou Road under your nose, just ask if you don't know." Hong Feng stood up and said, "Okay, let's go now, you see it's almost noon." Zhang Lingyu said: "Yes, it's time to go." Hong Feng said: "What's the matter, Brother Zhang seems to be a little reluctant. Zhang Lingyu said: "There is no matter." After speaking, he put away the jade flute, got up and followed Hong Feng with his baggage, and looked back a few times from time to time. They walked down Black Pine Ridge and walked some way to a fork in the road, turning and walking east.

Zhang Lingyu and Hong Feng walked together, pretending not to know that she was a daughter, there was talk and laughter on the road, Hong Feng said that he Hongjiabao is a martial arts family, and he likes to roam the rivers and lakes and act chivalrous. Zhang Lingyu thought secretly: "Could it be that he is talking about Hongjiabao that the master said, and the old castle owner is called Hong Tao." Thinking of this, he asked, "Is the old castle lord called Hong Tao?" Hong Feng was pleasantly surprised: "That's my grandfather, how do you know." Zhang Lingyu said: "I've just heard about it." Then he thought to himself, "If you say that, you still want to call my uncle and ancestor, but my master won't let me admit it." Hong Feng saw that Lingyu was pondering, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhang, what are you thinking." Zhang Lingyu said with a smile: "I didn't expect that your Hongjiabao has a high reputation in the rivers and lakes, and I hope that Brother Hong will take care of you in the rivers and lakes in the future." Hong Feng smiled: "Take care of each other." He talked very speculatively along the way, but most of them were Hong Feng talking, saying that the various factions in the martial arts and the celebrities in the rivers and lakes were good at kung fu. Zhang Lingyu sometimes discussed, sometimes asked questions, and Hong Feng took the trouble to answer.

Zhang Lingyu and Hong Feng stayed overnight along the way, and at noon on this day, the two came to Huaining County, entered the city and walked on the street to watch the street scene. This county seat is much more lively than Qingyuan County, with people coming and going, busy traffic, and many shops on the street. The two were walking, and suddenly heard a cry in front of them, and looked for the sound to see a circle of people who didn't know what they were looking at. Zhang Lingyu said: "Someone is crying in front, Brother Hong, let's go over and take a look." Hong Feng said: "Okay, there may be a fight." After saying that, the two of them quickened their pace and walked towards the cry, and when they got closer, they looked at the crowd and saw a man and woman in their thirties pulling a little girl in their teens. The woman cried out, 'Father, child, let go of the flowers.' The little girl also cried, 'Daddy, don't sell the flowers, the flowers want to go home.' The man said angrily, "If I don't sell you, I'll go there and get money to pay off my debts, and if I don't have money to pay my debts, they will cut off my hands and chop off my feet, and then I will starve to death if I don't earn food for you." ’

Zhang Lingyu squeezed to the front and said, "Big brother, what kind of debt do you owe to someone, if you don't pay it back for a while, you will chop off your hands and feet." The woman wiped away her tears and said, "He owes the money from the casino, and he wants to gamble if he doesn't let him gamble, and he has sold an eldest daughter, and this time he will sell his second daughter, my hard-working child." He began to cry again. Zhang Lingyu said: "It turned out to be a gambler, not to mention chopping your hands and feet, in my opinion, it will be a hundred to cut off your head." The man said angrily, 'Boy, how do you curse?' Zhang Lingyu said: "I scolded you lightly, and I will beat you." As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed the collar of the man's clothes, kicked the ground with his feet, and shouted urgently: 'Let go of me, let go of me, this is my own business, who wants you to meddle in your own affairs.' Hong Feng also came over and persuaded: "Brother Zhang, let him go first, this must be a family matter." The woman also pleaded: 'Big brother, let him go.' ’

Zhang Lingyu said: "Okay, for the sake of your mother's face, I will spare him." After saying that, he threw him down, threw him on his ass, squatted on the ground, and he hurriedly got up and covered his ass and cried out in pain. Zhang Lingyu pointed at the man again and said, "You said that I will pay off your gambling debts this time, do you want to gamble again in the future." When the man heard this, he thought, 'This is pie-in-the-sky, and even if I sell my daughter, it won't be enough to pay off the debt.' His eyes fluttered and he knelt on the ground and said, "Childe, if you can really pay off my gambling debts, I will definitely stop gambling and live a good life, if I gamble again without you killing me, I will hang myself." Zhang Lingyu said: "This is what you said, when the time comes, you will notify me before committing suicide, and when you die, you will give your family a hundred taels of silver to live, do you want this hundred taels of silver." The man said, 'Childe, I want to live more.' Zhang Lingyu said: "Which casino do you owe and how much silver?" The man said, 'I'm here to win the gambling house, and I owe twenty taels of silver, and today I may need twenty-five taels.' ’

Zhang Lingyu thought for a moment and said: "If you owe someone money for something else, I can give it to you now, but this is a gambling debt, and it would be a little too unjust for me to give you the money myself." The man's face turned ugly when he heard this, and the onlookers also looked at Zhang Lingyu and said what he said. Zhang Lingyu continued: "You take me to the gambling house, my luck is very good, I will use their money to pay off your debt. When the man heard this, he laughed and said, 'Haodehaode, I'll take you there.' After speaking, he took Zhang Lingyu to the gambling house to win, and Hong Feng followed, and many people who watched the excitement followed to the door of the gambling house, and the bold ones followed in, all wanting to see what was going on.

The man walked into the gambling house with Zhang Lingyu and Hong Feng, and a big cow steward came up and said with a wicked smile: "Hu San, your debts have to be repaid quickly, today it is twenty-five taels, and tomorrow it will be thirty taels." It turned out that this man's name was Hu San, Hu San nodded hurriedly and said with a smile: "Uncle Liu, don't worry, you will definitely return it today." Liu Daxiao said: "How did you find the gambling book again, go quickly, good luck." After finishing speaking, Hu San turned his head and saw that Zhang Lingyu had arrived at the dice guess size gambling table, and hurriedly ran over.

Zhang Lingyu stood at the table and quietly listened to a few handfuls to see the clues, he saw a lot of people put on the small characters, he took out five taels of silver and put it on the big character, and then the dealer shook the dice and put it down, sure enough, it was big, and he won five taels. Then they began to bet on silver, many people bet on the big one, Zhang Lingyu and the others bet on the ten taels of silver on the table on the small one, and they won again. Then he began to bet money again, this time everyone stopped betting, they were all watching how Zhang Lingyu bet, Zhang Lingyu had to bet twenty on the big, those people were on the big, Zhang Lingyu saw that everyone was betting big, he moved the silver to the small again, and everyone followed again. The dealer kept shouting: 'Buy and leave your hand and don't move.' Zhang Lingyu didn't move again, everyone didn't move, the dealer began to shake the dice, the dice shook rattling, shook it for a while, shone on the table, pressed his hand on it and said: "It's open." When I took it away, it was small, and everyone smiled and shouted to lose money. The dealer was very heartbroken when he saw the silver compensation for Bai Huahua, and he couldn't stop looking at Zhang Lingyu with his eyes.

It turned out that Zhang Lingyu listened to a few handfuls to be able to hear the difference between the big point and the small point, and saw which side of the bet on the more dealers did not open which point, sure enough, this one is bet on the small dealer to open big, Zhang Lingyu heard that it was big, just when the dealer was about to take it away, Zhang Lingyu flicked the table lightly with a flick of his fingers, and the dice was shocked and turned over, and the big point became a small point.

Everyone wanted to win again after winning a handful, and they all urged: 'Childe, we are betting, we are all betting with you.' Zhang Lingyu thought for a moment and said, "Okay, bet Zuihou again." After speaking, he bet all the forty taels on the table, and everyone followed suit, Hong Feng also took out fifty taels of silver and said: "I never gamble money, today I see that Brother Zhang is so lucky, by the way, I will get some money for dinner." And all the people followed. Seeing this, the dealer stopped shaking the dice, and then Niu Da came over and said: "What are you afraid of, winning or losing depends on luck, I'll shake it for you." After speaking, he took the dice and shook it, Zhang Lingyu was listening carefully, this bull shook it really better than the previous person's shake, and the speed of rotation was much faster, but it still couldn't escape Lingyu's ears. Niu Da shouted confidently: "Buy and leave, open." After speaking, when he opened it, he saw that it was still big, and his face suddenly changed greatly, and he looked at Zhang Lingyu and said: "The real person does not show his face, he is really a master, and he admires it." With that, he walked away.
