In the pavilion of the shrine, Lu Ming was sitting and drinking tea, listening to the cry of a Japanese woman who looked like a peasant woman opposite.
Ken Nakagawa translated.
The peasant woman came to the shrine to pay homage to the god and tell her about her misfortunes. But today was a great blessing. She met Master Shenji, who gave her some pointers and said that when she left the shrine, she would meet noble people to help her.
According to what Master Shenji said, when I came to this pavilion, I saw this "noble man".
Kimura, a peasant woman, whose husband is a gambler, originally came from a well-off family, but now not only has her family lost all her land, but a few days ago, the Yoshida group came and kidnapped her two daughters to pay off her husband's gambling debts.
Kimura went to report to the police, but the police ignored her at all. She was a loyal believer in Harugoka, so she came to the god to pray for help.
Nakagawa Ken was translating the peasant woman's words, but he didn't feel much at all. There are too many such things in today's world.
Just as he was thinking about how he should word it so that the peasant woman would not be too disappointed when Officer Zhang refused, he saw Officer Zhang smile: "Ms. Kimura, you give me one yuan now as my reward, I will help you." Save your daughter!"
Nakagawa Ken was stunned and hurriedly translated according to what Officer Zhang said.
Mr. Kimura was immediately overjoyed, but when he touched his body, he burst into tears again.
Lu Ming coughed, the scene was over, and he forgot that 1 yuan may not be a small amount for these farmers.
At this moment, Jinguji Hyoki appeared next to Nakamura, took out a silver coin, and said cautiously: "Sir, can I pay you for her?"
In Japan, imperial coins are legal tender, but the kingdom also mints coins. One silver coin is roughly equivalent to the currency value of 1 yuan in the empire.
Lu Ming smiled: "Okay." Fortunately, she came to the rescue.
After thinking about it, Lu Ming said: "Call and make an appointment with Mr. Ashin, and we will go to Duofu Casino together."
…
Tofu Casino is the largest local casino, and the Yoshida Group owns one-third of the shares.
At this time, in front of a dice cup table in the hall, Lu Ming was holding his hands casually. On his right side sat the elegant Master Ashin, and on his left side sat the beautiful and cold-looking Jingu in a black kimono. Temple Soldier Princess.
Lu Ming started with one yuan in chips and now has won 64 yuan.
Mr. Ashin smiled and said: "Zhang Jun is really lucky today."
In front of this table were all the ronin of the Kawamoto group, but they did not follow Lu Ming. Instead, they bet big and small at will. There was a loss and a win, but there was no room for others to place bets, and they had to hide themselves. Farther away.
But despite this, some people won consecutive victories, winning 6 times in a row, and the 1 yuan chip increased 64 times, but gradually some people came to watch the fun.
The croupier who was throwing dice on the opposite side had a normal expression. He shook the dice skillfully, then settled it with a snap, shouting in Japanese similar to the Chinese language of "Buy the dice and leave your hand".
Lu Ming weighed a handful of chips in his hand, which was sixty-four yuan in chips, and pressed it on the leopard.
The people watching behind him exclaimed.
There are different ways to play the dice cup. For example, if you bet on the size, you will pay one for one, but you can also bet on points, which have different odds.
If you bet on a leopard, you pay thirty-three to one. You can be more precise whether you bet on a small leopard or a big leopard, and the odds are 200 to one.
These odds are gradually formed and are adopted by most casinos. They should have been calculated by experts to ensure that the casino will always win in the end.
If the dealer is a leopard, no matter whether the gambler bets big or small, the dealer will take it all.
Seeing that Lu Ming no longer bet on the big or small, but instead bet 64 yuan on the leopard, the croupier's expression finally changed.
Because he did shake a leopard four.
Of course, he is not the best dealer in this casino, and he does not have the ability to know what time the roll is. He used a small mechanism in the dice cup to change the dice, and the original three normal dice fell into the dice cup. At the bottom, the three new dice that pop up, no matter how you shake them, are all Leopard Fours. Because they are specially made, their center of gravity ensures that they always roll out four points.
"Open the cup!" Lu Ming urged with a smile.
The dealer was helpless, gritted his teeth and opened the cup.
Everyone around immediately screamed, it was a leopard, and the price was 33.
The chips in Lu Ming's hand quickly became more than two thousand yuan, including a large chip worth one thousand yuan. In the lobby, few people would exchange chips with such a large face value. A thousand yuan chip can be used once. Those who place bets will definitely not play in the lobby.
"The maximum bet limit on this table is 1,000?" Lu Ming shook his head. After the dealer's dice settled, he threw a thousand yuan chip on the table.
When he opened the cup, the surrounding people screamed in shock.
More and more people were watching. Lu Ming betted several times and won. Although he could only win 1,000 yuan each time, the gamblers were already crazy. Unfortunately, it was obvious that this table was controlled by members of a violent gang. , no one dares to join in and follow the betting.
What's more, the opponent is obviously an Okutsu Ronin costume, and most gamblers know that the Kawamoto group has come to Yoshida and is negotiating with the Yoshida group.
This is obviously a battle between two violent groups, both overt and covert, and only a fool would join in and become cannon fodder.
"Captain Jinguji! You are so happy!" A clear voice said. A group of Yoshida Ronin samurai came over, and the gamblers immediately moved out of the way.
The leader, a middle-aged man wearing a gray traditional kimono with a smile on his face, is Yoshida Shibao, an important cadre of the Yoshida group and the owner of the gaming hall here.
】
Lu Ming smiled at Yoshida: "Let's have fun, I'm lucky today!"
Ken Nakagawa, who was standing behind Lu Ming, helped him translate boldly.
Yoshida smiled and said: "Okay, I hope you have a great time!"
A beautiful kimono woman who followed Yoshida Moriyuki walked over and replaced the original croupier. She also changed the dice cup. The one she replaced was a very formal dice cup. The bet with someone who is proficient in thousands of arts is Qianju. , using this kind of cheating device that is easy to expose, the other party can see it at a glance. Even if you win the other party in the end, the other party will become angry and reveal that the dice cup is fraudulent, and this casino will never open again.
This female dealer had many tricks, including various flying dice cups, and as expected, Lu Ming no longer won continuously.
However, if you bet ten times, you can always win seven or eight times. The overall trend is that there are more and more chips in front of you.
Yoshida's expression became more and more solemn.
"I bet it's a little leopard this time!" Lu Ming suddenly bet a thousand yuan chips on the little leopard area, which is leopard one to leopard three. If he wins, the odds are 200 times.
The female dealer smiled slightly, opened the dice, and was immediately stunned. There were three ones in the dice cup.
In fact, she did shake three ones, but when she saw the opponent betting on the little leopard, the moment she opened the cup, the nail of her little finger popped out. This was an extremely delicate little mechanism that moved the dice inside.
But it didn't seem to work, and it clearly felt like one of the dice had been turned over.
200 times the odds, one thousand yuan, you have to lose 200,000 yuan.
The surrounding gamblers who had been afraid to make loud noises exclaimed again.
Mr. Ashin had been smiling and watching the fun, but at this time, his face gradually became serious.
Yoshida Moriyuki slowly stepped forward, and the female croupier with a frightened face stepped back.
"Captain Jinguji, what exactly do you want to do?" Yoshida Moriyuki stared at Jinguji Hyohime in a dark voice.
Lu Ming smiled and said: "The leader of Jinguji Temple just came to play with me! As for me, it's because of a friend of mine, her husband is named Kinichiro. He lost a lot of money here. Now, his two daughters are You caught them to pay off the debt. I think I won enough to redeem the two of them. The more is my apology to you! From now on, no matter how much money my good friend Kinichiro loses, it will have nothing to do with his family. On this point, I believe Yoshida Wakatou understands what I mean, right?"
The gamblers nearby were even whispering among themselves. Some of them knew Kinichiro and had only lost a few dollars here, which was probably not as much as a fraction of what the God of Gamblers had won today.
"Understood! Don't worry, Captain Jinguji, I'll ask someone to check and release him right away!" Yoshida Shengxing said a few words to a follower next to him, and the follower walked away quickly.
Lu Ming stood up with a smile: "Okay, that's it!"
One good thing about the Japanese violent gangs is that if they fail, they will fail, and they will not break their promises, especially in front of so many gamblers.
Rules and trust are the foundation of a violent gang.
"Mr. Zhang seems to be very lucky. Why don't you make an appointment to play again?" Yoshida Shixing said with a smile.
I was kicked out today, but unfortunately even the best dealers couldn't beat each other. Fortunately, there was an expert in Yoshida City who could help.
If we don't regain this face, the Yoshida group will never be able to hold their head high in front of the Kawamoto group again.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Okay, how about tomorrow?" These were the words he was waiting for. All the preparations were meant to divert the tiger away from the mountain.
In Shengjing, I fought against people from the Kaneda family in the casino. I feel that in this era, there are many people in the Kaneda lineage who study gambling. It seems that ancient secret techniques are most suitable for this world and can easily obtain financial benefits, which is applied to gambling. .
When Granny Tuolong went to investigate, she also said that the guy was dragging the guards to bet with him. It seemed that he was a gambling addict.
The gambling fight with the Yoshida group got a little louder, and I felt like that guy might come to watch the fun.
Of course, it's best to lure them. If they can't be lured, there's still plan B, which is to do it forcefully.
