Liang Chuan asked Zhao Tingchang to lead him and planned to meet these second-rate people. He didn't call Li Chuyi. Li Chuyi was a big killer, and he would definitely see blood when he struck. He didn't know where these people came from. What if Lao Li got interested later and killed or maimed one or two people? That's not good. If things can be solved with money, there's no need to use fists. That's a barbarian way, and Liang Chuan doesn't like it.
Zhao Fafa and Zhao Jinyu saw that Liang Chuan wanted to go to that gambling stall alone to get his younger brother back. For a moment, both of them stopped Liang Chuan and refused to let Liang Chuan go alone, for fear that something might happen to Liang Chuan.
"Master Zhao, what are you doing? Why are you stopping me? Get out of the way. It's too late. Brother Zhao was injured by them. That kid doesn't know the dangers of society. I have to save him."
"Shaodong's family, Zhao Tingchang is going with you two. He died unjustly, but you can't let anything happen to Shaodong's family. In this case, I will call all our Luocheng masters to go with you. We are not afraid of the power of the green-skinned and innocent people on the other side. Everyone, when you get to the gambling stalls, you give the order and we will fight with them and smash their gambling stalls!" Zhao Fafa said indignantly.
Liang Chuan took a breath and thought to himself, old guy, you are really cruel. You guys are all very strong, and the tools you use are either axes or hoes. Who dares to take a breath when you get to the gambling stalls? It's certainly wrong for people to cheat, but it's obviously your people who caused so many troubles by causing trouble in other people's casinos, and now you have to cut off people's money. As the saying goes, cutting off people's money means killing their parents for food, clothing, and other cruel things. You do it without batting an eye.
Liang Chuan said anxiously: "Master Zhao doesn't dare to do this. We don't know the origin of the other party. Now the recruit brother is still in the other party's hands. We can't act rashly. Besides, strong dragons can't suppress local snakes. These people are rogue but innocent." We are not. If they come to make trouble later, we will only suffer a loss, and we will definitely not get any benefits. I will go to see what the situation is first. If something goes wrong, I will trouble you to report the case to the county government. "
Zhao Fafa was still worried that Liang Chuan would break into the Longtan Dragon Cave alone. They were all honest and good people, so they knew that there were not good people in these gambling stalls and brothels. Good people like the Shaodong family would definitely suffer losses if they went there. He said: "Shaodong family, I still don't want to go there." Don’t worry, you can go alone, or I can go with you, old man.”
"Old Zhao, you went with me. If there is an emergency later, I have to protect you. That would be more distracting. Don't worry, it's okay. I'll go by myself."
Liang Chuan didn't let them, the Luocheng masters, go together. They were in a group. If something happened to one person, the others would definitely not let it go. It was best to go alone. Liang Chuan, Zhao Tingchang and Zhao Tingchang didn't have anyone with them, so they hurried to Fengshan.
"Did you notice how many of them there were?"
"I was so frightened that I almost peed my pants. I didn't look at how many people there were. It was so dark that they all came over fiercely. I picked up a chair, threw it over, and took advantage of the opportunity to run away. "
Liang Chuan wanted to get some useful information from Zhao Tingchang, but after asking again and again, the birdman ran away first after losing Zhao Tingchang. He couldn't get any useful information. He just knew the location of the gambling stall, in Xiating. In a small alley behind the building.
Liang Chuan walked to the lower pavilion. When he was still a short distance away from the alley, Zhao Tingchang stopped moving forward. He pointed at the entrance of the alley and said to Liang Chuan: "Master, that gambling stall is inside, and there is a door at the door." A scabrous man wearing a gray linen shirt, sitting on a table drinking wine and eating melon seeds, was the doorkeeper..."
"I understand, you wait here while I go in by myself. If you come out after dark, remember what I just told you." After saying that, Liang Chuan turned around and walked into the alley, heading towards the scoundrel. passed.
Li Li introduced two strangers into the gambling stall today, which was originally a very happy thing. Who would have thought that the two strangers later became so anxious about losing that they even smashed the stall. If they had to block the front door themselves, they almost gave up. Both men ran away and one was caught. The man was in a good mood, drank some wine, sat at the door and leaned against the wall, humming a tune.
Suddenly I saw Liang Chuan walking in alone, another stranger! What's going on today? So many unknown faces come to the gambling stall Xiaoyao. This gambling stall has not been open for long, and all the people who come are regular customers. Damn it today, so many rotten gamblers come to the door.
"Stop! You guys look a little strange, don't you?" As a precaution, he didn't let Liang Chuan in to gamble directly. He asked first.
"There hasn't been any work in the fields lately, and I've been so busy at home that I'm almost out of town. My hands are a little itchy. I heard that you opened a new gambling stall here. I'll play a few games and try my luck." Liang Chuan gave a random reason road.
The maniac glanced at Liang Chuan's hands. They were very tender and had some new calluses. They were obviously not the hands of a farmer who had been holding a hoe for a long time. Such hands were usually owned by people like them who were idle, lazy, and lazy. I don’t do much farm work, but I do some fooling around when the farm is busy, so the calluses on my hands are so new, I don’t spend much time waiting in the fields, but I spend a lot of time waiting at the gambling table. Who wouldn't be willing to deliver money to someone's door? The maniac looked Liang Chuan over a few times, then impatiently waved in, indicating that Liang Chuan could go in.
It was also the first time for Liang Chuan to enter an ancient gambling stall.
When he thought about having a good and glorious career in his previous life, he often entered places like this. Once he appeared in the place, everything would be full of chaos and demons dancing wildly. There are some who get into toilets, some who jump off buildings, some who hide under beds, some who wade into rivers, and some who fish in troubled waters and steal gambling funds. There are all kinds of weird things. Which gambler is not afraid of the police? Every time he entered a place like this, he always showed his domineering attitude without any guilt. He never thought that one day he would also enter a place like this as a gambler.
At that time, don't look at the TV shows that casinos and brothels were all over the streets, and people came and went at will just like entering a teahouse. In fact, gambling is now an illegal act that the courts are vigorously cracking down on. Gambling is extremely addictive, and society’s productivity and wealth will not be much if it does not come back. Once you become addicted to this kind of thing, you will lose all your money at best, or your whole family will be ruined at worst. Many gamblers lose money. When you are naked, you will think of ways to do something, which is an important factor causing social instability. Therefore, gambling has been quite rejected in all dynasties, and everyone has been banned. The reason why it is so open now is obviously because of the openness of the forces behind it. Condolence with one eye closed.
The gambling stall was filled with smoke, and a strong smell of sweat filled the air. There were several gambling tables in the hall, and there were two or three circles of people around them, including richly dressed young men and poor people wearing ragged straw shoes, all of them shouting hoarsely. The ground was shouting wildly, and the whole gambling stall was filled with shouts of "big, small, small" for bets. There were both fine silver and copper coins on the gambling table, and a few pieces of jewelry could be seen from time to time.
On the pillar in the corner, Brother Zhao was tied like a rice dumpling, tied to the pillar, unable to move. His face was bruised and purple, and it was as swollen as a pig's head. He had fainted now. He had obviously been tortured severely by these people just now. His head was drooping, and the saliva at the corner of his mouth was mixed with blood and drooled down. One place.
When Liang Chuan saw Zhaodi being tortured into such an inhuman state, his anger and blood rushed straight to his forehead. However, reason defeated his impulse and he restrained himself. Now that he was in chaos, he took action rashly, fearing that he would not be able to save Zhaodi later. , and even included himself in it.
Someone was pushing tooth cards on the gambling table. Liang Chuan couldn't understand this thing at all. It looked a bit like Pai Gow, but he had never played it before and didn't know what the rules of this gambling method were, so Liang Chuan didn't watch much. The three most popular games in later generations are poker, mahjong and dice. Here is a table of people playing dice, which you can take a look at.
The dice table is in the center and is also the table with the most gamblers. The banker is cross-eyed and looks silly. You can tell what a person is thinking from the eyes of the gamblers at the gambling table. The banker's cross-eyes are completely unpredictable. The dealer held a small white porcelain bowl and vigorously shook the dice inside, and kept shouting: "If you buy big, you will pay big, if you buy small, you will pay small, and if you buy small, you will leave." The man looked lean, and his voice But it was quite loud. Although the gambling stall was full of people and noisy, his voice alone drowned out everyone else's voices.
Liang Chuan watched the dealer open several bets in a row, each one winning big, and most of the money on the gambling table was bet, so he suddenly opened it for you. If the large and small bets on the table are about the same, the average size There are winners and losers for each other.
Liang Chuan took a look and saw that there was indeed a ghost, but these people were so excited about gambling that they didn't care about these details. He used to like to brag and tell stories with these bad gamblers after catching them, and he also learned a lot of tricks in the casino from these bad gamblers.
Every time this dealer wants to eat big, he always pretends to spit in the palm of his hand, then rubs his hands and reaches behind his back to rub me, or he pretends to scratch an itch and reaches behind his buttocks to touch it. It's just uncomfortable. After the hand was retracted, the thumb was always clasped inward and pocketed on the lid of the bowl. Liang Chuan heard from those gamblers that this kind of thousand skills is relatively primitive and low-level. It is generally not used now and is easy to be discovered. , the requirements for operation methods are also relatively high. This kind of skill usually involves holding a magnet in the palm of your hand, and then wrapping the dice with an iron core. The magnet will suck it, and you can open it as large as you want. If you want to open it as low as possible, change to another pair of dice.
"Come on, come on, buy and leave, bet quickly!"
At this time, most people at the gambling table were betting small. Liang Chuan spotted the dealer and held the magnet ready to go big. He took out a few strings of copper coins, threw them directly on the table, and shouted: "I bet big!"
