As soon as I crossed the threshold, the pungent smell hit my face.
The strong smell of alcohol, sweat, and an indescribable smell mixed together was very overpowering.
Chu Qing quickly covered his nose, and Chang Xian and Tao Shaozhang also took a small step back.
There were a dozen or so tables scattered around the room, and there were all kinds of games. There were only seven or eight people betting money with red eyes. Most of them were playing guessing, that is, guessing the size.
Tao Shaozhang frowned and said, "What are you doing in such a smoky place?"
"You don't understand this, Pandao, do you understand?"
"Is Zhang Yun here?"
"Probably not here."
"Then why come here."
Chu Qing rolled his eyes: "Looking for trouble, do you have any money?"
Tao Shaozhang subconsciously covered his left cuff: "I didn't bring it."
"Your limbs have betrayed you, get the money out quickly."
Tao Shaozhang shook his head repeatedly: "If you want to make money, I won't give it to you."
"I'm playing shit just to lose money."
Tao Shaozhang's head shook faster: "Since I've lost money, I can't lend it to you."
"Going to gamble and lose, Fu San cursed him for being a cheat, started a conflict, and finally made the second prince look frightened and blackmailed him. Isn't this a successful attempt to find trouble?"
Changxian smiled and said, "Listen to Master Chu."
Tao Shaozhang's face was full of hesitation, and he took out a purse from his sleeve, feeling very confused.
"Bring it here." Fu San snatched the purse and handed it to Chu Qing in a clumsy manner.
Fu San didn't take this young minister of Dali Temple seriously at all.
The princes are all respectful to my young master. You are nothing. My young master has been in a prison.
Chu Qing opened his purse with a look of disdain on his face.
Just forty coins, not a single banknote.
Tao Shaozhang reminded pitifully: "You borrowed it from me, you have to pay it back in the future."
Chu Qing looked at Changxian: "Do you have any money?"
Changxian shook his head: "The student has not touched money for many years."
"Then are you going to change the bank next step?"
Rolling his eyes, Chu Qing handed the purse to Fu San: "Go and play a few games."
"Master, I just came out of the palace a few days ago. I'm in bad luck. I'm not lucky. I can't gamble."
Changxian: “…”
Chu Qing said happily: "I didn't let you win, I let you lose."
"How can it be done? Casinos are like war. When you get into battle, you have to fight to the death. You have to win. You need to win. You can't just think about losing." Fusan said with a stubborn look: "Those who think about losing are all dogs. You are a coward, but you don’t gamble when you are young.”
Pointing at Tao Shaozhang, Fu San said: "Why don't you let Mr. Tao go? He looks like an unlucky guy. He will definitely lose."
Tao Shaozhang sneered: "You think I'm stupid and lost at my hands. How can your young master pay me back?"
Chu Qinghao said angrily: "If you lose, it's mine, if you win, it's yours. Tell the front desk and I'll give you an extra clock."
Tao Shaozhang: "Why don't you write an IOU?"
Chang Xian began to despise this guy, and said angrily: "Hurry up, it's only a few dozen coins, and I will give it to you in the future."
"oh."
Reluctantly, Tao Shaozhang took the money, looked around, and then came to the wooden table where most people could only guess the size.
Seven or eight people, all nearby common people or idlers, were making a lot of noise. Tao Shaozhang's brows furrowed into the character "Sichuan".
Chu Qing gradually got used to the pungent smell here, and brought Fu San and Chang Xian to behind Tao Shaozhang.
There are two pictures carved on the wooden stick, one is a chicken and the other is a duck, with a red circle drawn below.
Tao Shaozhang asked: "What does this mean?"
Chu Qing shrugged: "Chicken is playing basketball."
Fukusan explained how to play. It was actually about guessing the size. The wooden stick was buckled in the bowl. There was a simple mechanism under the table. You could change the position under the table. One-on-one, if you win, you get twice as much, if you lose... Lost.
Tao Shaozhang looked like someone with mysophobia, hunched his shoulders and squeezed into the crowd. He took out a penny from his wallet, as if he was going to pledge the land deed to Tao Mansion.
Changxian couldn't stand his grinding, so he grabbed his wallet and poured the money on the table: "Push all in."
If he hadn't said that he was the second prince, his aura would have been as if the stake was not his money.
Of course, in fact it is not his money.
The dealer was a big, round man with a beard that was almost hairy on his heart. He said angrily, "Bet big, bet small."
Tao Shaozhang was very nervous: "Big."
"opened."
As soon as the man reached his hand under the table, Tao Shaozhang shouted: "Little, little, little."
"opened."
"Wait a minute." Tao Shaozhang shouted again: "Open the gate, escort the gate, I'll gate the gate."
"Why are you buying big or small?"
Tao Shaozhang frowned: "Why are you so full of foul language and so vulgar!"
Chu Qing interjected: "Don't pay attention to him, Da, let's go."
The man glared at Tao Shaozhang, flipped under the table twice, opened the bowl, and unexpectedly hit it. It was a big one, forty coins, which turned into eighty coins in the blink of an eye.
Tao Shaozhang was slightly confused: "Won?"
The man didn't say a word, just grabbed eighty yuan and went out.
Tao Shaozhang quickly put away all eighty articles.
Chu Qing said happily: "Keep on guarding."
"What's the pledge? My father said, don't push the envelope too far." Tao Shaozhang happily put the eighty coins into his wallet.
"Your father also told you to study and not raise pigs." Chu Qing grabbed the purse, poured the money out, and said in a low voice: "Don't forget what we are here to do."
The man squinted his eyes: "Big or small?"
Tao Shaozhang gritted his teeth: "Big!"
The man opened the bowl, it was still big, and he hit it again. The people next to him, whether they were winning or losing, looked at Tao Shaozhang with envy.
Chu Qing shrugged: "Beginner's luck."
Tao Shaozhang didn't take the money this time, and slapped the table: "It's still big, go all-in!"
The man opened the porcelain bowl again and hit it three times in a row. In the blink of an eye, Tao Shaozhang actually won 280 coins.
Fu San muttered: "This guy is pretty lucky."
Tao Shaozhang gritted his teeth, but still didn't take the money: "Little!"
The fourth time, I won again, three hundred and twenty strings, doubled, and got six hundred and forty strings.
"Haha." Tao Shaozhang rolled up his sleeves and raised his voice a bit: "All in, kid!"
The porcelain bowl was opened, and Chu Qing, who was just watching the excitement, was convinced, Xiao, Tao Shaozhang had won again.
“All-in, big!”
It was jaw-dropping. Tao Shaozhang won five games in a row, and the men began to curse.
Chu Qing was surprised that Tao Shaozhang's gambling luck was so good.
The man took out a dice from under the table and looked at Tao Shaozhang provocatively: "Guess red?"
Tao Shaozhang looked at the old driver Fu San with a puzzled expression.
Fu San explained: "One, two or three is a small number, four, five or six is a big number. You pay one for one, and you pay six for guessing the number."
Tao Shaozhang understood and stamped his foot: "All in, six o'clock!"
The man sneered and dared to gamble even with a one-sixth chance.
The sneer was still on his face, and the porcelain bowl was opened. The man couldn't laugh anymore. It turned out to be six o'clock.
Tao Shaozhang raised his head and laughed wildly: "Six o'clock, haha, you idiot, do you accept it or not?"
The man clenched his fists, clearly showing signs of getting angry, but suddenly he saw Fu San looking at him maliciously, and opened his mouth: "Why are you so full of filthy words, so damn vulgar!"
"I'm happy, stop talking nonsense!" Tao Shaozhang stepped on the stool: "One point, open!"
Chu Qing was happy.
He was obviously looking for trouble just to lose, but in the end, this loss was not a good loss.
When the bowl was opened, there were gasps of cold air all around, a little!
With a "pop" sound, Tao Shaozhang slapped the table again, his eyes blood red: "Three o'clock, go all-in, and I'll open it again!"
Chu Qing swallowed a sip of saliva, but don't make it three o'clock. It doesn't matter whether you win or lose. The main reason is that he is afraid that Tao Shaozhang will be too excited and die of cerebral thrombosis at the gambling table.
Under the spotlight, it opened at three o'clock!
Tao Shaozhang's face flushed with excitement: "I got it, I got it again, hahaha, I won."
The man's eyes twitched: "Don't be so damn proud of yourself."
Tao Shaozhang laughed, pointed at the man and shouted: "He's angry, he's angry, look, he's angry, hahahaha."
"Whether you are kidding or not, there is so much nonsense."
Tao Shaozhang sighed deeply, his face full of innocence: "I just want to lose, why don't you let me lose?"
Chu Qing: "..."
Changxian glanced sideways at Tao Shaozhang.
How can the young minister of Dali Temple be such a thing that deserves a beating? I am getting angry just looking at him.
