Mr. Cheng smiled and said: "Who in the world doesn't like gambling! But although we are not a very rich family, if we don't have enough money in a day, we really have no interest in it."
Meng Xun sighed: "This is what the officials have decided, so what can be done? If you gamble too much, even if you are really gambling, you will violate the gambling prohibition."
"Oh, this government is a bastard too! If you want to ban it, ban it completely. If you can't help it, let it go. You can gamble as much as you want. It's like this now. If you say you can't help it and there are rules everywhere, you can't let the gamblers do well. Is it fun?"
Cheng Yuanwai shook his head and ate the cooked mutton.
Seeing that the time had come, Meng Xun whispered: "If you two members want to have a good time, I have a way. However, this is illegal after all, and I'm afraid you won't be strict with your mouth. Let's talk it out, and when the time comes, Causing trouble.”
Engineer Cheng smiled and said: "We brothers are not three-year-old children, how can we talk nonsense!"
Meng Xun looked around, stepped forward, and whispered: "To tell you the truth, I know a Tao Yuan who specializes in gambling. In his place, the gamblers can bet as much or as little as they want. As long as they can make money, Come, you can bet."
Sun Ping, who was silent, his eyes lit up. Said: "Is there such a good place? Brother, take us there!"
Meng Xun said: "No outsiders are allowed to know about this kind of place. It must have a guarantor."
Sun Ping smiled and said, "Isn't my brother a ready-made guarantor?"
Meng Xun smiled, thought for a while and said: "It's not impossible for me to be your guarantor, I'm just taking care of some of the problems. - How much gambling capital do you have?"
Sun Ping looked up at Cheng Qing and said, "There are still one or two thousand strings."
Meng Xun said: "One or two thousand guan is enough. Although it can't be considered too much in a place like that, it is still quite a lot. Okay, I will go back and prepare for this. You guys will wait for my good news. The place outside Tao Yuan often changes, I’ll find out after asking him first.”
Sun Ping said: "Come and ask, sir! To tell you the truth, when you mentioned it just now, I felt like scratching my head like a cat. I was really overthinking it!"
Meng Xun nodded. He picked up a glass of wine and drank it. He looked at the two officers through the top of the glass and smiled to himself.
After they were full of wine and food, Meng Xun settled the account and several people left Yulouchun.
After Cheng Qing and Sun Ping returned to the inn, they ordered a pot of strong tea and chatted.
Sun Ping said: "This member Meng looks like a deer with a rat head and eyes. He doesn't look like a good person. The gambling game he mentioned is probably not a good place to go."
Cheng Qing smiled and said: "Luoyang is such a big city, there must be people who set up gambling secretly, but we don't know whether the joints can get in. This Member Meng must have a way to get here. Today he invited us to a casino he is familiar with." go."
Sun Ping said: "What good does he do? He just invited us to his casino and asked us."
Cheng Qing smiled and shook his head: "Brother, what are you thinking! He is not the one who set up the gambling, what benefits can he get? In my opinion, someone jointly set up the game with him to defraud the gamblers of their money. This kind of scam can be seen everywhere !”
Sun Ping said: "In that case, are we still going?"
Cheng Qing sighed: "We shouldn't go. But now, we have to go! Who would have thought that Meng Guan people have such a big appetite, and we don't bring enough money, so we can only go to places like this to make some money and come back. Besides, brother Are you worried about your gambling skills?"
Sun Ping laughed and said, "As long as I stretch out my hand, no one in the world can beat me!"
Cheng Qingdao: "There are two most important things when going to a place like this. One is to have real skills, so you can make money if you go there. The other is to be able to fight. If you set up a private casino and win too much, there is no guarantee that they will not use force. Do it. When the time comes, at least you have to be able to escape."
Sun Ping lowered his head and thought for a while, then said: "Although I can do it, I'm just not very skilled."
Cheng Qing said: "There is no other way but to take risks. When you leave, carry a wrist-removing knife with you, so as not to suffer any hidden consequences."
Meng Xun didn't know that Cheng and Sun had already seen through his purpose. After leaving the restaurant, he happily went to find Cao Tongzhang.
When we arrived at the inn, we went straight to Cao Tongzhang's room.
In the room, Cao Tongzhang was warming himself by the fire. Seeing Meng Xun's expression, he knew it was done and hurriedly gave up his seat.
Meng Xun sat down at the stove, and Cao Tongzhang asked, "How is it?"
Meng Xun slapped his thigh: "It's done!"
Cao Tongzhang was overjoyed. He moved his seat forward and asked, "Approximately how much money do the two of them have? How do you say it?"
Meng Xun said: "I didn't say the exact amount. However, the cheng said that he had a gambling capital of one or two thousand guan. I think it is a thousand guan's gambling capital. They only have to have a few thousand guan." One of them, Mr. Sun, seems to be very fond of gambling. When I told him there was a place for gambling, his eyes were so big——"
Cao Tongzhang said: "That's the best. Those who are good at swimming will drown, and those who are good at riding will fall. It is precisely because you love gambling and you must be good at gambling that you will fall into our trap!"
Meng Xun nodded repeatedly: "Brother said yes!"
Cao Tongzhang thought for a while and asked, "Did they say what they like to play the most? Guessing dice or throwing copper coins?"
Meng Xun shook his head: "I didn't ask that."
Cao Tongzhang said: "If you are sure, let's roll the dice. I have a pair of dice, and they are made with tricks. I can get as many points as I want. If I can use this to bet with them, the gold and silver mountains will also beat him!" "
Meng Xun said: "The gamblers from other places all throw copper coins, and they glare at each other. They are the most clean and neat."
Cao Tongzhang said: "This is easy to do! I have a few coppers here. If you throw them out, the words will be words, and the screen will be the screen. I will make them cry!"
Meng Xun said: "Since my brother has already prepared, why bother asking them what they want to bet on! No matter what, just win them!"
Cao Tongzhang is a professional gambler with all kinds of tricks. After thinking about it carefully, I am really not afraid of these two members. Even if they have the means, they will not be their opponents. Anyway, as long as you enter the gambling game, you will give yourself money.
】
After thinking about it again and again, there was absolutely no flaw, and Cao Tongzhang couldn't help but gear up. One or two thousand strings is not a small amount, it is enough for you to live happily for many days. If this goes well, you will make a fortune.
After thinking about it all, he discussed the details with Meng Xun. For example, he quickly asked Tao Yuanwai where the casino was located, whether he should go first or Meng Xun, and how to introduce Cheng Yuanwai and Sun Yuanwai into the game. You need to lose a few games first to arouse their interest. When should we start winning? Is it better to win all the time, or to win and lose sometimes.
This kind of professional gambler has countless tricks to make gamblers want to give up and obediently take out their money. If you meet someone who is brave, how should you make them lose everything with one throw? If you encounter someone who is timid, how can you lure them into taking the bait and win their money without knowing it?
In short, there are various methods. I am not afraid that you will not take the bait, but I am afraid that you will not come.
