Chapter 270 Casino fame
After hearing the dealer's voice, the crying Shui Ling subconsciously turned around and looked at the bottom of the cup with tears in her eyes. Then she looked happy and jumped off Tan Zong's legs. She didn't bother to wipe the tears from her cheeks. She stretched out her hand to pull Tan Zong's sleeve and burst into tears to smile, "Young Master, we won, we won."
"Fuck, you can win this!" Tan Zong, who was dazed, came back to his senses and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Lao Hei's face was ashes at this moment, staring at the bottom of the cup. The two dices were leaning side by side, each of which was a little bright red, while the third dice leaned on the two dices with edges upwards.
According to the rules of the casino, dice with edges upwards is regarded as zero points. Generally speaking, only those top experts who shake dice can shake such dice with edges upwards.
Tan Zong looked up at Lao Hei. He didn't know whether he was lucky or Lao Hei's luck was too unlucky, so he could shake such "zero" dice at this time.
After the dealer reported the points, he pushed the gambling money in the middle of the table into Tan Zong's face. Tan Zong pulled out three 100 taels of silver bills from it and stuffed them into the excited Shui Ling's hand, "I said I want to treat you to the red one."
"Mr....Young Master..." Shui Ling's body suddenly froze there. Three hundred taels were enough for her to buy a decent courtyard in Yangzhou City and set up a small shop to do business.
Happiness came too quickly, and Shui Ling didn't believe it was true for a moment.
"Please, this is what you deserve." Tan Zong smiled slightly, reached out and scraped Shui Ling's perky nose.
"Thank you... Thank you, Young Master." Shui Ling then reacted and thanked Tan Zong excitedly. The maids in the room looked at her with envy and jealousy.
People around him congratulated Tan Zong, especially Fatty Wang, who patted his shoulder with a smile, happier than he won, and he also looked at Lao Hei from time to time, his eyes full of mockery.
Tan Zong stood up and smiled and bowed to everyone. The showdown just now was indeed too dramatic.
"Young Master Huang, can you compare the game?" As Tan Zong talked and laughed, Lao Hei's voice suddenly came over. Although Lao Hei had a smile on his face, his tone seemed a little stiff.
"Boss Xie, it's getting late, so why don't we go another day." Tan Zong looked at Lao Hei who was forced to smile and said with a smile.
"Haha, Mr. Huang must give Xie a chance!" Lao Hei smiled with a hearty smile, staring at Tan Zong with a hint of determination in his expression.
Why do small gambling bets make you feel good, and big gambling hurts your body? Because once a person has red eyes, he will easily lose his mind and do some crazy things that seem unimaginable.
In fact, Lao Hei only lost 4,000 taels this time, and the remaining 3,000 taels were from Fatty Wang. Although the amount was huge, it did not hurt his cervical bone. He could recover in a few years, so there was no need to continue gambling with Tan Zong.
Perhaps, outsiders knew that Lao Hei lost 4,000 taels, but in Lao Hei's eyes, the 14,000 taels in front of Tan Zong should be his. Faced with such a huge amount of wealth, he was really unwilling to accept it!
"What are you going to do with Boss Xie?" Seeing this, Tan Zong pondered for a moment and said with a smile.
"We'll bet on beans this time." Lao Hei looked at Tan Zong, pointed to the gambling money on the table, "Just bet on these."
"I said Xie Laohei, here is 14,000 taels. Your total possessions are only 4,000 taels, and you really have this mouth?" Before Tan Zong could speak, Fatty Wang said sarcastically.
"I bet on the grain share this year, and the discount is 10,000 taels." Lao Hei sneered and said loudly.
As soon as these words came out, the room suddenly became silent, and people looked at Tan Zong together. Tan Zong was confused and looked at Fatty Wang suspiciously.
"If this happens, it's fair." Fatty Wang thought for a while and nodded at Tan Zong.
There is a Grain Merchants Chamber of Commerce in Suzhou. Before the summer grain harvest every year, the Grain Merchants Chamber of Commerce will coordinate the interests of various grain merchant groups. For example, Lao Hei resells the share of grain this year, then he will make a profit of more than 15,000 taels. Therefore, Fatty Wang said that the conclusion is more reasonable.
It is worth mentioning that the profit of this 5,000 taels is not owned by Lao Hei, but belongs to the grain merchant group where he works.
Because he is the head of this grain trader group, he has the right to control the grain share obtained from the grain trader trade union.
In other words, Lao Hei is taking the gamble this time and betting on the interests of his food group. Once he loses, the grain market this year will have nothing to do with his food group, and he can only watch others make money.
"Please!" Tan Zong sat back on his seat after hearing this. He was worried that he would not find the opportunity to start with the grain merchant. Lao Hei took the initiative to come to his door, which is worth his quest.
Lao Hei then signed and stamped, decreasing his entire industry and the share of summer grain this year into a bet of 14,000 taels.
During this time, two casino guys brought a sack of soybeans, a large square iron plate with convex edges, three water cups and a small slender stick.
After everything was ready, the dealer scooped out half a cup of soybeans from the sack with a water cup, and then signaled that Tan Zong and Lao Hei also scooped out of the soybeans from the sack with the water cup in front of him.
"Come and scoop!" Tan Zong glanced at the water cup in front of him, and smiled and looked at the water spirit standing nervously beside him.
Perhaps out of trust in Tan Zong or perhaps wanting to win more money, Shui Ling bet her 300 taels of silver on Tan Zong's side, and now she is a partner of Tan Zong.
"Yeah!" Shui Ling glanced at Tan Zong, picked up the water cup and scooped half of the cup out of the sack. With the experience from the last time, she was now much calmer.
Immediately afterwards, Lao Hei also scooped half a cup from the sack with a cup. When the casino guy was about to take the sack away, Lao Hei hesitated for a moment, grabbed a handful of soybeans from the sack and put them into the cup.
The rules for guessing beans are very simple. Every four beans are in a group, and they are pushed apart in groups, and guess the odd and even or numbers of the remaining beans:
If one person guesses the single and the other guesses the double, then the bet begins.
If both of them guess single or double, then they have to guess the specific number.
If the results of both parties guess the same, start over.
"Please order both of you first." The dealer glanced at Tan Zong and Lao Hei and said.
The maids immediately brought the fifth grades of pen, ink, paper and inkstone to Tan Zong and Lao Hei. Tan Zong glanced at the brush and asked Shui Ling with a smile, "Do you know how to read?"
"Well, I've been to a private school for a few years." Shui Ling nodded.
Tan Zong then whispered in Shui Ling's ear. Shui Ling immediately picked up the pen and wrote a handsome word on the paper, which was many times better than Tan Zong's dog-like words.
Lao Hei was very upset. He first wrote a word on the paper, but he seemed dissatisfied. He kneaded the piece of paper into a ball, then rewritten a word again, and soon he kneaded it into a ball.
"Boss Xie, time is coming." Finally, when Lao Hei kneaded the eighth piece of paper into a ball, the dealer spoke up to remind him.
Lao Hei took a deep breath, wrote a word on the paper, looked up at the dealer, and signaled that he had already written it.
"Please announce your choices." The dealer stretched out his hand at Tan Zong and Lao Hei and said.
Tan Zong and Lao Hei picked up the paper on the table at the same time. Coincidentally, they all chose single.
"Please write down the specific number." The dealer glanced at the paper in the hands of both of them and continued.
"Shui Ling, which one do you think should be?" The number of beans will be one or three. Tan Zong thought about it and asked Shui Ling with a smile.
"Shui Ling listens to the young master." Shui Ling smiled sly when she heard this.
Tan Zong thought the little girl was quite smart, and smiled and leaned against Shui Ling's ear, whispered, and Shui Ling then started writing on the paper.
"Please announce their respective numbers." After Lao Hei also finished writing, the dealer extended his hand at Tan Zong and Lao Hei again.
This time, Tan Zong and Lao Hei chose different numbers. Tan Zong chose one, while Lao Hei chose three.
The dealer first poured the soybeans from his water cup into the square iron plate. Then Tan Zong and Lao Hei poured the soybeans from their water cups into one after another, and the plate was suddenly filled with a layer of soybeans.
Under the gaze of everyone, the dealer shook the plate, causing the beans to gather on the left side of the plate, then bent down, raised his left hand, and held the small wooden stick in his right hand, and organized four to move the beans to the right side of the plate.
Tan Zong had a faint smile on his face, and he leisurely savored the tea that Shui Ling brought to him, while Lao Hei could not be as calm as he did. His eyes were staring at the soybeans on the plate. What he bet on was not only his entire wealth, but also the interests of his grain merchant group, and he had a heavy responsibility.
Time passed by bit by bit, and the room was silent, with only the sound of beans making in the plate when they were pulled away by wooden sticks. Each sound made people feel nervous.
I don’t know how long it took, but under the gaze of everyone, the dealer straightened up. Lao Hei felt the darkness in front of him, and he thumped, fell off the chair and fainted.
The casino guy next to him quickly lifted him up, pinching and pounding his back.
There was a soybean left on the left side of the plate, staying alone, which meant that the money on the table now belonged to Tan Zong.
Tan Zong looked at Lao Hei who was fainting and shook his head, sighed helplessly, stood up, bowed to the people around him, and followed a casino guy to a private room.
Soon, just as Tan Zong was standing in front of the window and staring at the bright moon in the sky, Shui Ling walked in happily, holding a tray in his hand, which contained the silver notes, chips and Lao Hei's sticks that Tan Zong had just won.
"How is Boss Xie now?" Shui Ling placed the tray on the table beside Tan Zong. Tan Zong turned around and looked at her with a smile.
"Young Master, don't worry, the person has recovered, but he is not in good spirits." Shui Ling comforted Tan Zong softly.
"This is yours." Tan Zong took out a silver note of 500 taels and a silver note of 100 taels from the tray and handed it to Shui Ling. With the money he won from Lao Hei, Shui Ling got a total of 600 taels.
"Thank you, young master." Shui Ling took the silver note and smiled at Tan Zongyanran.
Shui Ling knew that from today on her life would undergo earth-shaking changes, and she would no longer have to do these hard and tiring jobs in this casino with her brother.
"Invite Boss Wang." Tan Zong thought for a while and ordered Shui Ling.
Shui Ling blessed him and left with light steps.
Soon, Fatty Wang, who was smiling, was taken in by Shui Ling, and smiled and bowed to Tan Zong, "Congratulations to Mr. Huang, today I can be said to have a great victory."
"Please sit down, Boss Wang." Tan Zong smiled and stood up from the chair, reached out and made a gesture of asking for help.
Fatty Wang sat on the other side of the table beside Tan Zong with a smile. Tan Zong pulled out a stack of silver notes that had been sorted out from the tray on the table, and pushed him with a smile, "I'm sorry for Boss Wang today, I'm not respectful."
"Young Master Huang, you..." Fatty Wang glanced at the silver bill in front of him. It was almost 3,000 taels, which was exactly the amount he lost tonight, so he looked up suspiciously at Tan Zong.
"I am just here for the first time, I hope Brother Wang will take care of you." Tan Zong smiled slightly and said.
"Brother Huang is such a generous person. You friend, Wang has settled your hand." Fatty Wang laughed and stopped being polite. He reached out and stuffed the stack of silver bills into his waist.
In just a few words, Tan Zong and Fatty Wang got closer to each other, and the relationship between them unknowingly changed a subtle change.
Next, Tan Zong and Fatty Wang chatted all over the world, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
"Young Master, Boss Xie committed suicide by jumping into the river!" Just as the two were having aroused chat, Shui Ling suddenly walked in in panic.
"I jumped into the river!" Tan Zong was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then shook his head with a wry smile, "Why is this boss Xie so unhappy?"
"Brother, you don't know that Xie Laohei not only lost all his money this time, but also implicated those who followed him. He could no longer work in this industry." Fatty Wang saw Shui Ling close the door, so he lowered his voice, "More importantly, he couldn't explain to the people behind him."
"The person behind him?" Tan Zong nodded thoughtfully when he heard this, clearly referring to Lao Hei's backstage in the business world. It seems that Lao Hei lost to him caused trouble.
If Tan Zong was not wrong, I am afraid that most of the money earned by Lao Hei's grain share will be handed over to his backstage. Now that the grain share is gone, he cannot explain it to the backstage. In order to avoid the anger of the backstage, he can only choose to die, so that he will not involve his family.
"Brother Huang, do you want to go and see Xie Laohei's house?" Fatty Wang took a sip of tea and said slowly, "Since Xie Laohei is dead, the people in the casino will definitely seal his house to ensure that they repay the gambling debts they owed you."
The reason why Ruyi Gambling House's business is so popular is that in addition to having close ties with the government, it also provides various excellent services to ensure that the interests of gamblers are not lost.
