Anyway, the bed has been occupied in recent days, so Song Che stayed in Yunshuifang and kept an eye on bad guys to avoid being set on fire again.
In the evening, when the shop closed, Song Che sent Shen Wenjun away and went to the warehouse to get two thousand taels of silver.
Tonight he will use these two thousand taels to bring down Datong Gambling House.
"The past few days have been an extraordinary period. All the people on duty have cheered me up... Also, please don't tell Madam about my money collection."
"Uncle, you can't go to Yuchun Tower anymore!"
"Hey... don't dare say nonsense, or I will deduct your wages!"
…
To the west of the city, on the outer street of Datong Casino.
More than a dozen market gangsters were squatting at the entrances of various alleys, looking very energetic.
Song Che saw Liu San'er at a glance, waved to him, and walked into a nearby alley.
Liu San'er spit out the dog's tail grass in his mouth and followed the alley with thirteen friends.
"Uncle Song, the brothers are all here, and we are all following your orders." Liu San'er said.
Song Che took off the baggage, squatted on the ground and opened it. The white silver ingots all weighed fifty taels.
The gangsters stared and swallowed.
"Come together, everyone." Song Che greeted.
Everyone knelt down and got closer.
"Listen carefully, each of you has two ingots and one hundred taels. If you lose, it's mine, if you win, it's our 50-50. I'll take the money later and enter the gambling house in three batches. Remember, don't show that we are in the same group. Damn it, do you understand?"
"clear!"
"After entering the gambling shop, change your money into small amounts and place your bets leisurely. Don't go in and lose everything."
"Uncle, can we place bets freely?" Liu San'er asked.
"We've got an idea," Song Che solemnly warned: "I will go in first to see the situation. At this time, you can place your bets freely, but be careful -
When I raise my left hand, you must come to me;
When I extend my left index finger, you call the bet of ten liang;
When I extend my left middle finger, you call twenty taels;
When I extend my left little finger, you call fifty taels;
When I stretched out my left thumb, you bet against me and wiped out all the money in your hands. "
"This..." The gangsters looked at each other.
Liu San'er waved his hand and said: "Oh, Mr. Song has a much brighter mind than us. I can do what he said!"
"Okay, let's divide the money and get started!"
…
Counting Song Che, a total of fourteen people entered the gambling house in three groups.
Gambling, to put it mildly, is greed, wanting to get something for nothing.
When you win, you want to win more, and when you lose, you want to win back.
Gradually, the desire spread and turned into a gambling addiction. Eventually, he was unable to extricate himself, bankrupted his family and property, and his wife and children were separated.
There is an endless stream of people coming in and out of the gambling house. Most of them come in happy and then leave disappointed. They want to make money by luck and make money from the gambling house. It is simply fantastic.
Song Che walked into the gambling house, hid in the crowd, and observed secretly——
There are many games in Datong Casino, such as dice, Pai Gow, coins, etc. on the table, and the tricks on the ground are cock fighting, duck fighting, grasshopper fighting, and the quite literary ones include pot throwing, chess, etc. The gambling house has two floors. , in the front and back yards, there are commoners and white men, and there are dignitaries. In short, it is a smoky atmosphere, with dragons and snakes mixed together.
Among all gambling games, the most popular one is "Sic. Bao", which is to shake dice. The method of play is simple, with a table and a pair of dice. Bet quickly, gain money quickly, and lose quickly.
"Crackling..."
"big big big……"
"Little little little..."
The excitement of winning money, the lament of losing money.
There is a special counter in the corner of the gambling house. In addition to exchanging gold and silver, there is also a loan window. People who want to borrow money and want to repay their money are lined up like a long queue.
The black industry is really making money!
Birds of a feather flock together, and people are divided into groups. The gambling funds placed on the table of the rich are all in vain, while those without money have piles of copper coins.
Song Che walked around the gambling room twice, and finally stopped in front of the table with the largest gambling stakes. Every time a game was played at this table, there would often be hundreds of taels of discrepancies.
The dealers are professionals at first glance. They are very skilled in shaking the numbers. For them, it may be difficult to get the numbers they want, but controlling the size of the points is not a problem.
Seeing that gamblers are losing a lot, they deliberately lose a few to calm people's hearts. But in general, the banker still wins more and loses less, not to mention that the gambling house will take a commission from the profit.
"Uncle Song, why don't you place a bet? I've already won ten taels." Liu San'er came over and asked.
By then, Song Che had roughly figured out the gambling house's tricks, and it was time to take action. He raised his left hand and scratched his head, and the gangsters saw the situation and surrounded him.
"Crash..." The croupier shook the dice.
"Bang!" The dice cup fell on the table, the player placed his bet and left his hand.
"Uncle, how do you want to suppress this?" Liu Saner asked in his ear.
Song Che laughed softly and said, "I guess the numbers are three, four, and six."
Liu Saner was surprised and said: "You want to press the points in the first move? Isn't this too aggressive?"
"No, no, no, it's too risky to press the points. You should play it slowly and steadily. Three, four, six will naturally increase the pressure." Song Che dug his nose with his index finger and threw out fifty taels of silver to bet high.
Liu Saner and others threw twelve taels and big one after another.
After all the players finished placing their bets, the croupier opened the dice cup: "Three, four, six, thirteen o'clock!"
"It's really——"
"Shh!" Song Che made a silencing gesture: "Stop talking, just follow along."
After placing his first bet, Song Che had completely determined the gambling routine. He was able to guess the number because when he first closed the cup, the number was "four three one", which happened to be the corresponding side of "three four six" .
It is very simple to use techniques to turn the dice over, just like turning over pancakes. You just need to master the appropriate strength and the rules of dice turning.
Next, Song Che adopted the rule of "top two, rest one", bet two, rest one, and accurately calculate the dealer's rhythm. He would bet fifty, and his thirteen accomplices would bet one hundred and three, according to the one-to-one ratio. Odds, every time you win, after deducting the commission, you can get one hundred and seventy taels in your account.
After ten wins, the banker lost more than 1,700 taels.
The croupier transferred two large amounts of gambling money from the warehouse and began to look at the gamblers gathered around the table.
Each gambling table usually has a red line. When the losses reach a certain level, they will start to resort to tricks.
In order not to attract attention, Song Che gave up when he saw the opportunity, left the current gambling table, and moved to another table. He was not in a hurry to place a bet, and just waited and waited for the changes.
Liu Saner and others also dispersed to other gambling tables to place bets freely.
After standing in front of the gambling table for about a quarter of an hour, seeing that the time was almost up, Song Che raised his left hand and scratched his head, and Liu Saner and others approached one after another.
This time continue to press the size.
He sucked his middle finger and signaled to increase the amount. He pressed one hundred taels each time, while Liu Saner and others followed with twenty taels, and adopted the strategy of "win three, lose one" to offset suspicion.
Twenty bets were made, and a total of fifteen were won. Each hand won a net profit of 350 taels, totaling more than 5,000 taels.
"This young man is so lucky!"
"No, I just wore a pair of red pants when I went out today."
Song Che’s understatement concealed his merit and fame, and he went to the next table to continue winning money!
After Song Che left, a middle-aged man with fleshless cheeks and wearing a Confucian robe hurried to the gaming table, pulled the croupier aside and scolded: "What did you do? This is the third batch of money. , Mr. Hong will be angry if we continue to pay more!"
The dealer said aggrievedly: "I...I don't know. It's just as usual. I took control of the field when it was time to do so."
"Does anyone keep winning?" the middle-aged man asked again.
"No, oh... By the way, there is a person who wins more than he loses, and he bets more than a hundred taels on each hand. After calculation, he won more than a thousand taels." The croupier stood on tiptoes. , stretched his neck, trying to find it in the crowd, but there were so many people coming and going, where could he find it?
The middle-aged man said angrily: "Three batches of silver, one batch of two thousand taels, even if he won more than a thousand taels, where did the remaining four thousand taels go?"
"Master, I... I really don't know! Did you encounter a ghost today?" The croupier was so anxious that he almost cried.
"Okay, okay! Go down and keep an eye on me. If you make any more compensation, Master Hong will blame you. I can't protect you!"
"yes……"
