When he heard the dealer read his name, Li Bai was obviously stunned, and then rolled his eyes, as if he understood something instantly.
Li Zhenyu looked at Li Bai, who was still looking troubled. He seemed to have guessed that there might be something wrong with the gambling stone in Li Bai's hand, and he frowned.
The gaming table began to fall into silence, and everyone's eyes continued to pass over Li Bai.
It is not uncommon for gamblers who pick their opponents first to be late in picking their opponents.
For example, if the first-mover gambler draws something bad, if he fails to choose his opponent well and encounters an opponent who plays second-hand and picks up the treasure instead, he will be throwing himself into a trap and giving his opponent a big advantage.
However, there is another possibility in this situation, that is, the first-hand gambler has opened a good thing, and at this time he is hesitating to choose the most valuable opponent that can bring the greatest benefits.
Therefore, it does not mean that you can take advantage of it. The person who chooses your opponent must have something good.
At this time, Li Bai was also hesitant. He had already seen the jade box in his hand, which contained a little bit of ordinary gold, and the small note had the word "one hundred" written on it.
Yes, a hundred! He had turned the note over and over several times, trying his best to find the non-existent ten thousand characters on the note.
Li Bai now has three big characters written on his forehead. What should I do?
what to do? He had spent fourteen God of Wealth coins in exchange for this gambling stone that he thought was most likely to yield something good. The result is now like this, how should he clean up this mess?
Li Bai was getting more and more angry now. He had known that his luck had never been so bad.
Since coming to the third floor to participate in the stone gambling, Li Bai has had bad luck a few times, and the stones he selected have been quoted for less than 100,000 a few times, but those were at least over 10,000. Unlike now, he just quoted A little gold, not even a hundred!
"No, I'm afraid today is not the right time to gamble on stones. It seems that I can only rely on my eldest brother. After all, the wealth will not go to outsiders." Li Bai's eyes were fixed, as if he had made some important decision.
He seemed to feel that he had no luck today, but once the gambling here started, no gambler would be allowed to leave early with the chips unless he lost all the chips in the hands of the maid behind him.
Li Bai took a deep look at Li Zhenyu. Their eyes collided slightly, and then they looked away in an instant.
At this time, Jiang Fengqing, who had been sitting quietly aside, suddenly said loudly, "Croupier, I would like to know if two people are allowed to collude in the Caishentang casino?"
A trace of surprise flashed across the dealer's beautiful face, and he turned to look at Jiang Fengqing and said with a smile, "Of course it's not allowed. If multiple people are caught working together, Caishentang has the right to directly confiscate the chips of these gamblers who violate the gambling rules, and They are prohibited from taking another step into the God of Wealth Hall."
As soon as these words came out, all the gamblers looked at Li Zhenyu and Li Bai with either a sizing look or a cold look, because they were brothers of the Li family. Who among all the people present was most likely to join forces? Except they are not.
Although they currently have no substantial evidence that Li Zhenyu and Li Bai have joined forces, Jiang Fengqing's words still planted a seed of doubt in everyone's minds.
Li Bai glared at Jiang Fengqing with stern eyes, but when everyone's eyes glanced at him, a look of panic flashed across his face.
Li Bai was in a dilemma at this time. He had thought well just now and planned to directly choose his brother Li Zhenyu as his opponent.
After all, if you have to lose, it is better to lose all your chips in this round to your brother than to someone else. And if you are really unlucky today, if you keep losing, you can go back to Li Zhenyu when the time comes. If you say a few words carefully, you might be able to get some back and reduce your losses.
However, what Jiang Fengqing said now directly expressed his thoughts, making it difficult for him to operate.
Because of the current situation, if he still chooses Li Zhenyu as his opponent, he will probably be attacked by a group of gamblers, and he will be unable to step down in the end.
Li Zhenyu's face didn't look good at this time. He had been with his brother for many years. When they looked at each other, he could tell what Li Bai was thinking, and he acquiesced to Li Bai's plan.
However, Jiang Fengqing's question made it difficult for them to carry out this plan.
Ahem
Li Zhenyu coughed twice and said, "Why don't you pick your opponent quickly? You want to stay here for the New Year, right? What are you doing with a grimace? If you don't know who to choose, then just fuck him if he doesn't like it."
Li Bai trembled when he heard this, took a deep breath, and turned to look at Jiang Fengqing in position ten.
If he had to say who among the gamblers here was the most unhappy right now, it must be Jiang Fengqing. After all, Jiang Fengqing directly disrupted his plan, which was likely to cause him heavy losses.
Li Bai pursed his lips and said resolutely, "I choose No. 10 as my opponent."
As soon as Li Bai finished speaking, Jiang Fengqing laughed instantly.
"Hahahaha! You are making me laugh to death!"
Just when no one understood the situation, the croupier still took the jade box from Jiang Fengqing and Li Bai from the maid behind them with an expressionless face.
As soon as the dealer weighed it in his hand, he realized something was wrong. She has been working here for so long, and she may not be able to weigh the weight of the items in the jade box, but she can still directly weigh whether there is anything in the box.
Just like now, she immediately felt that there seemed to be nothing in No. 10's jade box.
The dealer's eyes moved to the maid behind Jiang Fengqing. The maid raised her head and looked directly at the dealer, then slowly shook her head.
The croupier's eyes showed contemplation, and then he gently opened Li Bai's jade box a little.
Everyone's eyes immediately focused on the dealer, but the dealer had been working for many years and obviously would not let them see the contents of the jade box.
After she read Li Bai's jade box, her cold face didn't change much. It can be said that after working in this Caishen Hall for so long, she has seen even a note with the word "one" written on it, let alone this note with the word "hundred".
Putting Li Bai's jade box on the gambling table in front of him, the croupier carefully opened Jiang Fengqing's box again.
The first thing that caught his eye was the word "city", and the croupier was suddenly surprised.
Logically speaking, it is impossible to have other words on the note besides numbers. Because these notes are all estimated by the masters of stone interpretation after they have cracked the stone and personally appraised the value of the things found in the stone, and these value assessments are all specific values. , in order to facilitate the gambling. So, how could other words appear on the note?
The dealer suddenly became suspicious because she felt that Jiang Fengqing might be cheating.
After all, since the Caishen Hall has been open for so long, there have been many people cheating, so the supervision of the Caishen Hall has become more stringent and standardized.
Just like the role of the maid standing behind each gambler, one of the functions is to monitor every move of the gambler to prevent the gambler from unfair means.
However, the dealer didn't know exactly how Jiang Fengqing was able to change the notes under the nose of the maid behind him.
The croupier's heart moved slightly, and he opened the gap in the jade box a little wider.
All the gamblers wanted to know why the croupier stared at Jiang Fengqing's jade box for a long time, almost delaying the progress of the gambling game.
Among them, the most anxious person is Li Bai.
Because he knew very well what the note in his jade box was, he didn't know what was written on the note in Jiang Feng Qing's jade box that made the dealer not announce the result for so long.
"Is the note in the jade box on the 10th not as good as mine?" Thinking of this, Li Bai suddenly became excited, "Yes, if his value exceeds mine, the dealer will definitely announce the result immediately. It won't be like this Still hesitant. His value must be so low that it surprised the dealer for a long time."
The more Li Bai thought about it, the more he felt that he was right, so the depressed look on his face instantly disappeared like snow in spring, and his face was filled with spring breeze.
As the dealer's face returned to a cold expression and he closed the jade box in his hand, everyone became nervous and wanted to know who would win or lose between Li Bai and Jiang Fengqing.
"This time, Number 10 wins."
The dealer's cold voice made Li Bai stunned for a moment. This result was obviously unacceptable to him and made him feel how ridiculous his previous idea was.
"Yes, if you still think about winning when you are gambling, isn't that just a dream?" Li Bai smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said no more.
The gamblers on the side also sighed when they saw his appearance.
"Eh? I can win now? I didn't expect someone to come and give me money like this. I really didn't expect it!" Jiang Fengqing said with a surprised look on her face, as if she didn't expect to win at all.
However, his words undoubtedly poured a bucket of water on Li Bai's head, and even knocked the bucket down.
When all the gamblers saw Li Bai's embarrassed appearance, they all burst into laughter, regardless of how deeply the laughter was sarcastic.
Among them, the one who laughed the most was Lu Jinxin. He was laughing so hard that his lips almost reached the sky.
"I laughed to death. I didn't expect that you Li family are all Bodhisattva-hearted, and you would even help the poor at the gambling table. It really opened my eyes! Hahaha!"
When Li Bai heard these sarcastic words and laughter, he was instantly ashamed and annoyed. His face turned blue and red, and his fists were clenched tightly.
Even Li Zhenyu looked at Jiang Fengqing with an unkind expression.
"Oh, what's wrong? Do you Li brothers want to hit someone after losing money? Don't enter the God of Wealth Hall if you can't afford to lose! Of course, if you really want to fight here, then do it quickly!" Seeing the depressed looks of Li Zhenyu and Li Bai, Lu Jinxin felt extremely comfortable in his heart. He was not afraid of the Li brothers falling out at all. Even if they fell out, he did not believe that the Li brothers would dare to take action in the God of Wealth Hall.
You know, there was a great general who came to Caishen Hall to gamble. After drinking a little wine, he lost his mind. After losing, he directly beat up the dealer on the side. The result can be imagined. , even though he had military merit, his arms were removed by the God of Wealth Hall and he was thrown on the street.
However, afterwards, everything was calm in Caishen Hall, and the general did not leave home.
A full month later, after the general submitted a memorial to retire and return to his hometown, he kowtowed three times respectfully in the God of Wealth Hall before leaving Chang'an and returning to his hometown.
It was after this incident that Caishen Hall proposed new rules to gamblers. Anyone who dared to hurt anyone in Caishen Hall would be responsible for the consequences.
It can be said that this provision is thought-provoking. There is no mention of the consequences in the regulations, but it makes gamblers fearful.
After all, no one wants to have two arms removed like the general.
This also makes no one in Caishen Hall dare to take a step beyond the realm, and I have never heard of anyone taking action in Caishen Hall.
This also became the basis for Lu Jinxin to dare to show off in front of Li Zhenyu and Li Bai at this time. Although Lu Jinxin knew very well that he could not defeat them at all, he was confident that they would not dare to attack him unless it was absolutely necessary.
"Third place, No. 10." The dealer said coldly.
