Lin Sui'an felt that he was going to have a heart attack.
In less than one stick of incense, Hua Yitang lost three bags of gold leaves: one bag of thirty gold leaves, one gold leaf for one tael, one tael of gold for six guan, one qian for one thousand fen, and one for 500 fen. Pigs, in other words - he has lost 10,800 pigs! Enough to feed her for two lifetimes!
Jin Ruo: "This one named Hua——"
Fang Ke: "Pig head!"
The gamblers were stunned by Hua Yitang, a rich and powerful "taken advantage of", and the croupier was so excited that the hands holding the gold leaves trembled.
Hua Yitang picked up the dice one by one and looked at them with one eye closed, "This is strange. Could it be that I haven't played for too long and my hands are raw?"
The boy smiled and said: "Guest, don't worry, our Nanxiang Gambling House is famous in Guangdu City for making sure profits without losing anything. The more you bet, the more you win. I see that our customer is very generous and has good luck. As long as he bets a little more, he will definitely win." If the time comes, turn it around and turn it over immediately!"
Hua Yitang hammered his palm, "That makes sense. My capital must be too little. Eta, double your bet!"
With two "papa" sounds, Eta threw two bags of gold leaves. The onlookers roared, and Lin Sui'an, Jin Ruo and Fang Ke ducked at the same time.
The croupier grabbed the dice cup and shook it three times. Hua Yitang was about to touch the dice cup when Lin Sui'an and Jin Ruo rushed forward and lifted him up in the air.
Jin Ruo: "It's not like this to have money!"
Lin Sui'an: "It's almost done!"
The dealer became anxious when he saw it, "Sir, please don't break the rules at the gaming table. Money left on the table will not be returned!"
Hua Yitang looked at Lin Sui'an, his big innocent eyes blinking, "You really don't allow gambling?"
Lin Sui'an gritted his teeth, "What are you talking about?"
Hua Yitang smiled with narrowed eyes, swung his legs, and landed on the ground. He took the fan back from Eta's hand, came to Lin Sui'an, fanned the fragrant wind diligently, and sighed quietly, "I have a good wife at home. , the control is very strict, I really don’t dare to gamble anymore.”
Xian your sister's wife!
Lin Sui'an pinched the tender flesh on Hua Yitang's waist and twisted it hard. Hua Yitang let out an "ouch" and threw his body into an enchanting "S" shape, saying repeatedly, "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you, but this I can’t get the money back, so, Eta, please help me.”
Fang Ke: "Hey!"
Ita glared at Hua Yitang, walked to the gaming table, picked up the dice, looked at it, put the dice cup on and tried shaking it twice, "I've never done this before. If you lose, it's yours."
"Okay, it's mine." Hua Yitang smiled.
The croupier was elated. This young gentleman looked to be at most thirteen or fourteen years old. He couldn't speak clearly in Tang language. He had obviously just arrived in Tang Dynasty, and his movements of shaking the dice cup were even more jerky. He was sure to win. He quietly glanced at the young man. The young man understood and withdrew from the crowd and hurried towards the back door.
This is the emergency strategy of gambling houses. There are always gamblers who are desperate to lose and refuse to admit their losses. They may behave and roll around, or they may fight and injure others. If they meet a radical one, it is not impossible to kill someone. Therefore, when encountering someone like Hua Yitang, A stubborn enemy must find more thugs to station at the front and back gates to suppress the situation.
The boy didn't realize that when he left, there was a silent tail behind him.
Lin Sui'an saw clearly: Hua Yitang was indeed a drunkard who didn't care about drinking. If Jin Ruo is sent out, he must have discovered that there is something wrong with this gambling house, but it will take time to search and investigate. How long can he survive if he loses like this?
"How much money did you bring?" Lin Sui'an asked in a low voice.
"The one on the table is the last one." Hua Yitang said.
"..."
Forget it, the worst case scenario is that this dude will be forced to wash dishes in a gambling shop to pay off his debts.
The croupier held the dice cup in both hands, shook it three times, put it down, and motioned to Ita, "Please."
Ita first held the dice cup with both hands, but felt uncomfortable. After thinking about it, he used one hand again, but still felt uncomfortable. Finally, he held the dice tray with one hand and pressed the dice cup with the other. He hesitated and shook it five times before placing it carefully. On the gambling table.
The croupier showed a determined smile and opened the dice cup, "Two, four, six - big!"
Ita sighed and opened the dice cup.
"Ouch!" The entire gambling table exploded.
The croupier's eyes bulged and his head was buzzing. He rubbed his eyes and looked again to confirm that he had read correctly. There were three bright red "four" characters in the dice cup.
"Three, four, three red! The biggest color!"
"Win, win!"
"Three times! Three times!"
"I knew that someone who was so generous could be a mortal?!"
Following the cheers of the gamblers, Hua Yitang swaggered forward, pretended to look at the three dice, tapped his fan on his palms and said with a smile, "This bag of gold leaves contains thirty gold, two bags of sixty gold, three If it’s doubled, it’s one hundred and eighty gold. Dealer, it’s time to change the money.”
The dealer's face turned green. He first returned the three bags of gold leaves that Hua Yitang had before, and then ordered someone to bring over a plate of gold bars. Hua Yitang poured out all the gold leaves in the bag and piled them on top of the gold bars, forming a A small golden mountain with dazzling light, the visual effect is blinding.
Although he had some suspicions before coming here, what he saw with his own eyes was another story - Lin Sui'an felt a little thirsty and couldn't help but swallowed his saliva - Eta was actually a hidden god of gambling.
Fang Ke frowned and observed Eta's expression. Eta's blue pupils were dyed dark blue by indifference, as if what was piled in front of him was not gold, but a pile of rice fields.
"What the young man said just now is indeed right. I lost money because my capital was too small." Hua Yitang tapped the gold mountain with a fan, "Eta, should we pursue the victory and play another game?"
Ita had a cold face and said nothing. Hua Yitang laughed, and tapped Eta's forehead with the fan, "It's different now than then. You can go and play with confidence. If you lose, it's mine. No one dares to touch a hair on your head." "
Ita rubbed his forehead, "Speak and keep your word!"
Hua Yitang tilted his head, "When have I ever lied to you?"
"Huh, you always lie to me." Ita muttered, stared at the dice in the dice cup for a long time, raised his eyelids, his pupils returned to blue, like the endless sea under the sun, pointed at the dealer and said, "Come again .”
The muscles on the croupier's face twitched uncontrollably, "Guest, guest, please."
Etta: "Four, dice."
The dealer gritted his teeth: "Okay."
The gamblers who were watching saw the opportunity and stopped coming, and followed Eta in placing bets one after another.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoosh," the dealer and Eta shook the dice cups at the same time. The two dice cups fell on the table at the same time. Everyone held their breath and watched the two dice cups open at the same time.
The dealer's dice, four "units".
Ita's dice, four "fours".
"Four fours, four fours are red, win, win, win!"
"Four times! Oh my God, four times!"
"Absolute, absolutely, absolutely!"
"This young man is the god of gambling!"
"What a God of Gamblers? He's obviously the God of Wealth!"
The gamblers went crazy, grabbing money like crazy, cheering, celebrating, and screaming, attracting a second wave of spectators, and the spectators attracted a third wave - the cheers spread out like waves, It almost blew off the roof of the gambling house.
The croupier's face was green and white, and he was sweating like beans. He actually lost nearly two thousand gold in this one hand. He, he, he, he, he, he, would be beaten to death by the boss!
Lin Sui'an couldn't help laughing. She noticed that the number of thugs in the gambling house on the first floor had increased significantly. They were all muscular men with big shoulders and round waists. They all had iron bars on their waists. They were all practitioners.
Lin Sui'an quietly approached Hua Yitang, gesturing for Fang Chu to come closer. Just as he was planning how to break out, he saw Jin Ruo hunched over and stepping on his feet, like an eel squeezing in, covering Lin Sui'an's ears and whispering. He said, "This gambling house has a big problem."
Hua Yitang leaned back slightly and raised his ears, "Tell me more about it."
"There are three places in the backyard of the gambling house that are heavily guarded. One is the warehouse. I found this outside the door." Jin Ruo took out a small paper bag, which contained a small amount of soil, mixed with some yellow powder, and carved it with his finger. He dipped a little on the tip, smelled it, and said, "It should be spices. It smells like-" His expression changed slightly, "Rou Qian'er's painting spring cream."
Hua Yitang said "ah", and Lin Sui'an said "good guy".
The cheers from all around became louder, and people from the gambling houses carried boxes of gold bars in front of Eta. Eta stood up straight, with her hands behind her back, her head held high, and she took off her bun. Her sunny blonde hair reflected the extravagance of gold | |The sinful light is like a huge spotlight, attracting everyone's attention. The gambler next to him even found a few sticks of incense and began to worship devoutly.
Jin Ruo seized the opportunity and continued, "The second place is a firewood shed. It is very simple, with air leakage everywhere. There is no one inside, but there are the most people guarding it. I suspect there is a secret room inside. I found a secret room outside the firewood shed. The fresh footprints are consistent with Bai Rong’s height and weight.”
Hua Yitang: "Could it be that Bai Rong was kidnapped here?"
Jin Ruo shook his head. The footprints were too messy, so he could only make a rough judgment, not being completely sure, so he lowered his voice a little, "There is also a wing, the doors and windows are nailed shut, and there is a strange smell coming from the windows. It feels—very bad.”
Oh ho ho! It’s coming!
Lin Sui'an glanced at Hua Yitang.
Hua Yitang raised his eyebrows, waving his fan and stood next to Eta, smiling so brightly that spring flowers bloomed in the air, "Ah, you can't stop this luck once it comes."
"One more game." Ita pointed at the dealer, "Five, dice."
The croupier wiped his sweat crazily and said, "Two gentlemen, I was blind before. We are just a small business, so please be kind to me."
Before Hua Yitang could say anything, a group of gamblers gave up and swarmed forward, insisting that the dealer start another round. The thugs responsible for maintaining public order in the casino gathered around with sticks, and it was about to turn into a gang fight.
Lin Sui'an and Jin Ruo took half a step back at the same time, keeping Hua Yitang, Fang Ke and Yita within three feet of them. As long as they took action, they were guaranteed to knock down the approaching thugs in one move.
At this moment, a burst of laughter suddenly came from upstairs, and a group of people walked down the stairs. The expressions of all the gamblers and thugs changed drastically, and they retreated to both sides to make way for them.
The leader is dressed in a brocade robe and Hu suit, with sun and moon patterns embroidered with gold and silver thread on the collar. He has a thick black beard, a square jaw, wide mouth corners, a slightly bulging abdomen, and kind eyes, like a kind scholar. Behind him were twelve young male cannibals, more than nine feet tall, all with high noses and deep eyes, wearing scimitars at their waists.
The croupier hurriedly stepped forward, knelt on one knee, and saluted, "I've met the boss!"
Jin·Tang Guo Baidu·Ruo: "This person should be the Nanxiang gambling house owner Burke Bu. He settled in Guangdu City ten years ago. He claims to like to study Tang Guo culture and is known as a 'good scholar', but everyone in Guangdu City knows that he is a good scholar. It's just a homophonic pronunciation, and the original meaning is 'bloody one'."
Lin Sui'an raised his eyebrows.
"It is rumored that Burke was so powerful that he could tear open a calf with his bare hands. Ten years ago, he beat the Invincible Hand in Fanfang District with his bare hands. It is said that for three months, his hands were stained with blood and could not be washed off. Every day He ate meat and drank wine with blood-stained hands, which was terrible.”
It turns out that he is such a "bloody person", which is interesting.
Lin Sui'an took a step forward and stood beside Hua Yitang.
Burke's eyes turned around the two of them, and his smile became more kind, "Aren't you two locals?"
Hua Yitang: "The owner of the shop has good eyesight. I just arrived in Guangdu City today."
The croupier quickly whispered a few words in Birkbu's ear. Birkbu's eyes flashed and he looked at Ita, "This young man doesn't look like a Tang nationality. He comes from - Persia?"
Ita ignored him.
Burkebu didn't mind, smiled, and asked Hua Yitang, "What do you call this gentleman?"
Hua Yitang, "I'm from the Bai family in Qingzhou."
Burkebu's smile became even bigger, "Lang Jun is joking. The Bai family of Qingzhou is a big family in Guangdu. Everyone knows me, but I have never met Lang Jun."
"I am Bai Sanlang and Bai Xiang's adopted brother. I just recognized him yesterday." Hua Yitang's eyes narrowed and he suddenly raised his voice, "Don't you think so, Bai Sanlang?"
Bai Xiang pushed through the crowd carrying a big baggage and squeezed in. He stared at Hua Yitang, seemingly wanting to refute, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back and put the baggage on the table, and the contents inside flowed out. The table was full of more than twenty mutton-fat jade tablets, some antique calligraphy and paintings, and a black lacquer box.
Bai Xiang opened the lacquer box and found four or five volumes of house deeds inside.
"I want to make a bet with the boss," Hua Yitang pointed to the table with a fan. In addition to all the belongings Bai Xiang brought over, there is also the small gold mountain that Eta just won back. "This is the bet."
The smile on Burke's face disappeared, "What does Mr. Lang want to bet with me?"
"To be honest, I saw that the feng shui of Nanxiang Gambling House is very good. All four roads are smooth and the five waters gather wealth. I like it quite a lot——"
Burkebu narrowed his eyes: "You want Nanxiang Gambling House?!"
"And all the people in your gambling house." Hua Yitang smiled as he shook his fan. The golden bell hanging on the fan tinkled like a bell from hell.
