Simulated Immortal Cultivation: Beginning with Changchun's Immortality
Chapter 132 Gambling
Chapter 132 Gambling
In the middle of the night, the lights had already been turned off due to the curfew.
In the deserted streets of Lin'an County, there are only a few watchmen left, stretched out in the dim moonlight.
Of course, not every household abides by the law in this way.
In a courtyard on the north side of Fangshi, a little light can be vaguely seen coming from under the threshold, like a living thing, spreading its teeth and claws towards the surroundings.
It is strange to say that the window lintels of several rooms in the courtyard are firmly nailed up with wooden boards, and it looks like a stranger, but if someone puts his head on the door, he can vaguely hear something. lively noise.
"big big big!"
"Little little!"
"Three twos, leopards, the dealer takes all, take money, take money!"
……
It was midsummer, and the house was extremely hot, and there were no doors and windows for ventilation, so all kinds of smells were mixed together, sweat, smoke, foot odor, body odor, and even feces and fart.
However, such a harsh environment, not only did not make everyone in the house shrink back, but it seemed to be a catalyst, making the already numb gamblers sink into it and couldn't extricate themselves.
Yes, here is a hidden gambling house.
"Biqiniang..."
Chen Ermazi spat out a mouthful of yellow phlegm, watched eagerly as the dealer pocketed his last ten copper coins, and was about to say a few beautiful Chinese quintessences when he was slapped heavily behind his back.
"Who doesn't have eyes—oh, so it's Mr. Wang in front of you, old man! Look at my broken mouth, I should be beaten, I should be beaten!"
Just as he was upset, Chen Ermazi stared at his blood-stained tricks, looking like he was going to eat someone, and he was about to explode, but when he saw clearly who was coming, his anger disappeared immediately, and it seemed like a dark wind passed over his back. Ridge, hair erect.
He hurriedly smiled, nodded and bowed, and was about to stand up.
Unexpectedly, he was held down by someone.
"I said why I heard magpies calling so early in the morning. It turns out that there are distinguished guests coming to the door. Why don't you play a few more games? But the people below are not attentive to the second master. You just need to say your first and last name. Then call him to accompany you."
The man played with the jasper finger in his hand and said with a smile on his face.
The person who came was none other than the owner of the casino here, Wang Ding, the second child in his family, because he has an elder brother who is an official in the court, and also has a wealthy family, he is considered the number one person in Lin'an County.
Bullying men and women on weekdays is not to mention accumulating good deeds, at least it can be regarded as doing all kinds of evil.
Only because of his elder brother's face, the past few county magistrates mostly turned a blind eye to the various evil deeds committed by this person, and as long as there is no serious case involving human life, they will let him go .
Chen Ermazi's ancestors were also wealthy, and his great-grandfather was born in Juren, but his family has been in decline for three generations. In his generation, he can barely be regarded as the family of an ordinary wealthy landlord.
It's just that this person doesn't want to be honest, instead he only focuses on eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling. In just over ten years, he has already ruined his family business and lost all his land to the gambling house. Amoy and sell some antique calligraphy and paintings to support the family.
Chen Ermazi's face twitched, and he didn't have the nerve to say it was because of his lack of money.
However, Wang Ding is such a transparent person, he saw through Chen Ermazi's predicament at a glance, and waved his hand grandly:
"I don't know what's the matter. When anyone is in distress, the second master didn't bring enough money and goods, so we will borrow you. Da Zhuang went to get 50 taels of silver to give to the second master. Why are you still standing there?"
"Gambling, it's not uncommon for things to come and go. Maybe if you play two more games, you'll win back all your money."
Before Wang Ding could finish speaking, his subordinates had already dragged a plate of silver to Chen Ermazi. The five-two-one ingot of silver exuded an alluring brilliance.
Chen Ermazi's blood-red tricks were immediately attracted by the white silver taels, and he couldn't look away any longer. He stretched out his hand subconsciously to grab the silver taels in the tray, but was blocked by a folding fan unexpectedly.
"But Er Ye, our friendship is friendship. The rules of the gambling house cannot be broken. If you borrow money, you must write an IOU to us. Wang Er's family is not doing charity. The rules are broken. Today you borrow it. If he borrows it tomorrow, should I do this business or not?"
Unexpectedly, Wang Ding changed the subject and said unhurriedly, and his subordinates also took out a pen and paper with great interest, and presented it to the side of 50 taels of silver.
Chen Ermazi swallowed his saliva, looked at the pen and paper for a while, and stared blankly at the big white silver ingot for a while.
With these 50 taels of silver, maybe I can get back my capital, as long as I get back my capital, as long as I get back my capital, I will stop, and I will never gamble again!
He was cruel in secret, thinking that he would win all the money back immediately, but he signed and pledged without even looking at it, and couldn't wait to take the money, so he put five taels of money on the big board.
"Humph!"
Wang Ding snickered, but it was nothing more than a stain on the paper, he dusted it off and put it in his arms, then turned his head and gave the dealer a look.
The sturdy man who was rolling the dice understood it, put down the dice cup heavily, tapped the mechanism under the table lightly with his toes, and slowly revealed the answer to the mystery after the dice in the cup settled down.
"Four six six, big, eat at home!"
In the blink of an eye, Chen Ermazi's five taels of silver became ten taels.
Then six hands in a row, Chen Ermazi won whatever he bet on, and the capital of 50 taels quickly became 200 taels. Not only did he win back his capital, but he also made a small profit.
"It's mine, it's mine!"
The man hastily embraced the broken silver and copper plates on the table, with an ecstatic look on his face, staring blankly at the next bet, completely forgetting the oath he just made.
Seeing that the fish finally took the bait, Wang Ding showed a hidden smile on his face, and glanced at the croupier quietly, indicating that it was time to collect the net.
Sure enough, the next shake produced a leopard, which directly cost Chen Ermazi more than 30 taels of silver.
"This one will definitely win!"
Accepting if he didn't see a deal, Chen Ermazi put another ingot of silver on the boss without even thinking about it, and the result was the opposite, one, two, three.
After a few strokes, the silver mountain in front of Chen Ermazi became visibly smaller with the naked eye.
When he wanted to bet again in disbelief, he realized that there was nothing in front of him, not to mention a tael of silver, and he couldn't even touch half a copper plate.
It was only later that he realized that he had lost all the borrowed money again. Chen Ermazi's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth. Instead of stopping there, the whole room was looking for Wang Ding again.
"Second Master Chen, have you lost all your money again?"
Wang Ding shook his fan and made an expression of disbelief.
"I know that your second brother, Wang, is eager to do good and righteous, so lend me another fifty, no, 300 taels, and I will definitely get back the money. Will I even pay you back the money with interest?!"
Chen Ermazi held Wang Ding's hand and begged bitterly.
"It's not impossible to borrow money from you—"
Wang Ding dragged his tone, finally revealing his wolfish ambition.
"But you have to stake the title deed of your ancestral house!"
The work is over, and the update will be resumed next. I am really sorry a while ago, and disappointed everyone who followed the update!
