The gambling table was surrounded by gambling guests watching the fun, whispering and whispering. Tan Zong stood behind the crowd, observing the situation in the field quietly.

The maids were all standing outside, looking very excited, talking in groups of three or five, that this kind of gambling game with one-on-one gambling funds reaching thousands of taels is rare.

After entering the door, Shui Ling walked towards the group of maids and whispered to several maids whom they knew. The maids already knew that she had received five taels of silver, and smiled and asked her to treat her to buy snacks.

Judging from the expression on Wang Fatty and Lao Hei's faces that wanted to swallow each other and the silver notes, chips and gold ingots on the table, Tan Zong knew that the two had been red in their bets and had to compete.

As the saying goes, peers are enemies. As long as they do not encounter a disaster year, the annual grain output in Jiangnan will not fluctuate too much, but the number of people doing grain business is increasing year by year.

To give an analogy, this is like a freshly cooked pancake. The chef can only make one cake every time, but the number of guests waiting to eat is increasing. This will inevitably lead to competition among diners. Everyone shows their magical powers, and everyone wants to take a bite on the cake. Naturally, contradictions and struggles are indispensable.

Fatty Wang and Xie Laohei made a grudge eight years ago because of a business deal, and gradually became like fire and became famous enemies in Yangzhou City.

Just as everyone was talking, the dealer walked in, holding a dice cup in his hand. When he put the dice cup on the gambling table and opened it, Tan Zong found three crystal dices inside.

The dealer pushed the dice in front of Wang Fatty and Lao Hei, and asked the two to check. When both sides confirmed that there was no problem, the dealer covered the dice in the dice cup and placed it in the middle of the gambling table.

Although Ruyi Gambling disdains to cheat in dice like those small gambling shops, whenever a major gambling game starts, in order to make gamblers feel at ease, the gambling shop will use this crystal dice that can see the internal structure clearly to prevent cheating.

"Brother Wang, do you want to shake first or should I shake first?" Lao Hei spoke first and asked coldly under the gaze of everyone.

"I will listen to the emperor." Fatty Wang snorted coldly, hugged his chest with his hands, looking indifferent.

Fatty Wang and Lao Hei have fought here for twenty or thirty rounds, winning or losing each other. Under the teasing of some people with ulterior motives, the two of them are becoming more and more excited and their tempers are becoming more and more popular. No one is willing to show weakness in front of each other, so the gambling funds continue to increase, and gradually formed the situation in front of them.

The chips in front of Fatty Wang and Lao Hei were about 3,000 taels if they exchanged the silver notes for silver. It was impossible for the two of them to carry so much money with them. Most of them borrowed from their acquaintances on the scene. Although the amount was huge, it was still within the scope that both parties could bear.

"Then, Brother Wang, please ask first." Lao Hei pushed the chips, silver notes and gold ingots in front of him into the middle of the table, made a gesture of asking for help, and put on a posture of determining the winner and lose.

"Then Wang is disrespectful." Fatty Wang was not willing to be outdone, and also pushed the silver notes and chips in front of him.

Seeing this, the room immediately became quiet. The people at the gambling table watched the scene in front of them with interest. Even the maids standing outside stretched their necks and looked inside.

The dealer then pushed the dice cup in front of Fatty Wang. Fatty Wang held the dice cup in both hands, closed his eyes and shook it with a serious expression.

He bet on it was not thirty taels or three hundred taels, but three thousand taels, so he was naturally nervous.

After shaking for a while, Fatty Wang put the dice cup heavily on the table, opened his eyes and took a deep breath, and raised his hand to uncover the cover of the cup in the expectant eyes of the people around him.

At four, five, six, fifteen o'clock, looking at the three dices, Fatty Wang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. This was a good result.

The onlookers were in a stir and started to whisper.

Tan Zong found that Lao Hei's face looked a little ugly, but his face was dark and he couldn't see any big reaction. According to the current situation, he could only win by throwing more than fifteen points, and the chance of winning was only 20%.

"Four, five, six, fifteen o'clock!" The dealer announced loudly, then covered the lid of the dice cup and pushed it in front of Lao Hei.

The room became quiet again, and people looked at Lao Hei in unison.

Lao Hei picked up the dice cup with expressionless expression and shook it, then suddenly put it on the table, with a gloomy face and shouted at the dealer, "Open!"

Although Lao Hei looked calm, his heart was in a state of great turmoil. What he was facing now was not only a problem of money, but also a problem of face.

As the saying goes, losing money is small, losing face is big. Among these people on the scene, he can lose any of them, but he cannot lose to Fatty Wang.

When the dealer lifted the cover of the cup, Fatty Wang's face turned pale in an instant, and the three dice on the bottom of the cup were six, six, and five.

"Six, six, five, seventeen o'clock." The dealer stretched out his right hand and pointed at the dice at the bottom of the cup, then pointed at Lao Hei, "Thank you, Boss!"

"Brother Wang, I'll give in, I'll give in." Lao Hei laughed and bowed to Fatty Wang.

Fatty Wang also arched his hand at Lao Hei, stood up with a pale face, and left without looking back. The people in the room congratulated Lao Hei.

"Boss Xie, everyone is having fun now. I wonder if Huang is lucky enough to ask Boss Xie for advice." Just as Fatty Wang stepped out of the door, he suddenly heard a cheerful voice in the room. He couldn't help but stop and turned his head to see Tan Zong smiled and arched at Lao Hei who was surrounded by everyone.

As soon as Tan Zong spoke, people's attention was immediately focused on him. Tan Zong smiled slightly and looked at Lao Hei with a friendly face.

"Young Master Huang, do you know how much money is on this table?" Facing Tan Zong who suddenly appeared, Lao Hei felt that this person was very jealous, but from the confidence of speaking, he hesitated for a momentum and said with a smile.

"I wonder if these are enough?" Tan Zong smiled slightly when he heard this, took out a stack of silver notes from his arms and handed them to the dealer.

The denominations of the silver bills were all five hundred taels, a total of fourteen. The dealer carefully checked the silver bills and put them on the gambling table. He announced in a deep voice, "Mr. Huang, the silver bills are 7,000 taels."

Seven thousand taels!

When everyone in the room heard this, they were immediately commotion, whispering to each other, and secretly guessing Tan Zong's identity.

"Young Master Huang is actually interested, so Xie will play with you." Lao Hei pondered for a moment, smiled and stretched out his hand at Tan Zong, "Please!"

"Take it!" Tan Zong bowed to Lao Hei and sat down on the seat Wang Fatty.

"Everyone, Xie's money is still 1,000 taels away. Please help me. Xie will definitely pay it back tomorrow." After Lao Hei sat down, he said to the people around him.

When he was betting with Fatty Wang just now, the dealer had already cleared the gambling funds of the two. Each of them had more than 3,000 taels, which was about 1,000 taels less than Tan Zong.

As soon as Lao Hei finished speaking, several people pulled out silver notes from their bodies and handed them to Lao Hei. Lao Hei wrote an IOU one by one and pressed his handprints.

"Young Master Huang, what do you want to play?" After collecting all the money, Lao Hei looked at Tan Zong with a smile, looking relaxed, as if there was no pressure at all.

"One game determines the country." Tan Zong smiled slightly, pushed the silver bill in front of him, and said calmly.

"Young Master Huang is such a happy person." Lao Hei laughed and pushed the silver notes and other items in front of him forward, "One game will determine the country!"

boom!

Now, the crowd of onlookers was completely in agitation. This was a duel of tens of thousands of taels, which was rare. The atmosphere at the scene immediately became warm.

As before, the dealer gave the crystal dice to Tan Zong and Lao Hei, then put it in the dice cup and placed it in the middle of the gambling table, and then silenced around it.

"Young Master Huang, you are a guest from afar, please invite him first." Lao Hei reached out to Tan Zong and made a gesture of invitation.

"Then Huang is more respectful than obedient." Tan Zong smiled and bowed to Lao Hei, and the dealer pushed the dice cup in front of him.

"Boss Xie, I wonder if Huang can find someone to shake it on his behalf?" However, Tan Zong did not reach out to receive the dice cup, but smiled slightly at Lao Hei.

"I wonder who Mr. Huang is looking for?" Lao Hei pondered for a moment and asked calmly.

"Shui Ling." Tan Zong turned his head and shouted at the crowd.

"Young Master, what are you asking?" Shui Ling thought Tan Zong had something to do, so he hurried over.

"Boss Xie, I'll let her shake on behalf of others. What do you think?" Tan Zong stretched out his hand and pointed at Shui Ling, looking at Lao Hei with a smile.

"Since Mr. Huang has such a good mood, how can Xie ruin your interest?" Lao Hei thought that Tan Zong had invited some master, but he saw that it was a little girl who specialized in serving people in the casino, so he nodded with a smile.

"My husband... I... can't do it." Shui Ling never expected that Tan Zong would let him go, and immediately became nervous and stammered to Tan Zong.

"It's okay. If you win, I will invite you to eat red." Tan Zong smiled dissatisfiedly, pinched Shuiling's pink cheeks, and joked, "If you lose, then I'll accompany me tonight."

She was teased by Tan Zong in public, and Shui Ling's cheeks suddenly turned red. She hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth, and reached out to pick up the dice cup on the table.

"Don't worry, we have half the chance to win." Seeing this, Tan Zong comforted her with a smile.

Shui Ling nodded, suppressed her excitement, and shook the dice cup vigorously. Her mind was blank at this time, and she just shook her hands mechanically.

Finally, with a bang, Shui Ling put the dice cup on the table, pressing the cup cover tightly with both hands, and his chest was slightly undulating, looking very nervous.

"Open." Tan Zong stretched out his hand and sat Shu Ling who was standing there on his lap, then smiled and nodded at the dealer.

Everyone's eyes focused on the dice cup. Although Lao Hei looked indifferent on the surface, his fists couldn't help but clenched.

The dealer walked forward, stretched out his hand and opened the cover of the cup. The scene suddenly exclaimed, "Leopard!"

Tan Zong was stunned for a moment, looked at the dice at the bottom of the cup in amazement, and then cursed in his heart, "Fuck!"

The dice at the bottom of the cup did throw a leopard, but unfortunately there were three points. If it was smaller, Tan Zong would basically win, but if it was larger, Tan Zong would basically lose. The opponent would even throw three points, and both sides would tie.

According to the probability, the probability of Lao Hei throwing three points is one in 196. That is to say, theoretically, Lao Hei can throw three points only if he throws dice 196 times.

As long as Lao Hei’s luck is not too memorable, he will definitely win this time.

People around were talking, and no one expected that Shui Ling would throw three points, so there would be no suspense in the gambling game.

Fatty Wang stood in the crowd and shook his head in disappointment. He also hoped that Tan Zong would beat Lao Hei, but he did not expect that Tan Zong's luck would be so depressed.

Shui Ling stared blankly at the three dice at the bottom of the cup, and was so scared that her face was bloodless and her body was trembling slightly. Seven thousand taels, that was seven thousand taels!

"It's okay, isn't it just a little money? What's the big deal?" Tan Zong felt Shui Ling's horror at this time, and smiled and pinched her cheek, "But it seems that you can't eat it anymore this time."

"Young Master...I..." Seeing that Tan Zong had no intention of complaining to him at all, Shui Ling couldn't help but feel mixed emotions in her heart. Tears were flowing down her eyes and buried her head in Tan Zong's arms and sobbed.

"Thank you, please." Tan Zong smiled and patted Shui Ling's forehead and shoulders, and reached out to Lao Hei as if nothing had happened, looking very chic.

When the people around heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other. They had been struggling in the business world for many years, and naturally knew that Tan Zong was definitely a wealthy man. Otherwise, he would never throw 7,000 taels out without blinking. It was really a good choice.

Anyway, Zhao Yunan investigated the case for him, and it was not his own. No matter how much he spent it, he would not feel heartbroken. At worst, he could ask Zhao Yunan for 10,000 taels.

For Zhao Yunan, the most important thing now is to find out where the Japanese bandits are hiding. As for money, in his eyes, they are just some numbers.

The reason why Tan Zong came to Ruyi Casino was to spend a lot of money to bet against Lao Hei was to become famous, gain popularity in the Yangzhou business community, enter the circle of grain merchants, figure out the grain trends in Suzhou Prefecture as soon as possible, and lock in the target of doubt.

Therefore, at this time, as long as it is to investigate the case, Tan Zong would never save Zhao Yunan money.

Tan Zong was sure that if he could find the Japanese bandits by spending tens of thousands of taels of silver, Zhao Yunan would throw the silver out without hesitation, because this was not only related to the stability of Jiangnan and Zhao Yunan's face, but more importantly, it would be related to Zhao Yunan's influence in the court.

Lao Hei was completely relieved of any pressure now. He took the dice cup and shook it a few times, put it on the table with a snap, then hugged his hands with his chest, without looking at the dice cup, and looked at Tan Zong with a smile, as if he was sure to win.

Tan Zong didn't look at the dice cup and looked directly into Lao Hei's eyes, as if he didn't care about how many points Lao Hei shook out. This is what it means to lose money but not lose. Even if he loses, he will overwhelm the opponent in terms of momentum.

The dealer then lifted the lid of the cup. After seeing the three dice at the bottom of the cup, everyone around him was stunned, and an incredible expression appeared on his face.

"One, one, two points, Huang Gongzi won." Just as Tan Zong and Lao Hei looked at each other, the dealer's voice suddenly rang.
