Opposite to Manjin Gambling, another yard, was also crowded at this time.

However, compared to the lively scenes of the crowds in the gambling room, the yard is not that noisy.

This is another department of Manjin Gambling House. The casino across the street is a "gambling game", and their side is a "treasure game".

What they bet in this yard is a very long-lasting lottery style game, called "betting"

The specific way to play this treasure game is: since the morning, a treasure official put a note in a jar and hung it high on the beam in the middle of the hall.

The jar was swaying about one and four feet above the ground. Everyone who came here could see this thing with just a gaze.

In the hall of this treasure bureau, there is a water card posted on one wall with the names of 28 constellations written on it, and a person's name is also attached to the back of each name.

These are 28 stars and 28 gimbals, and they are divided into four categories on the wall.

These four categories are the Qinglong, the White Tiger, the Vermillion Bird, and the Black Tortoise. Each category has exactly seven people and seven constellations.

Those who come to gambling just copy the name on a note, then write their own name and the amount of money they have been suppressed.

For example, the eastern green dragon has seven people, including the horned wooden dragon, Deng Yu, Kang Jinlong, Wu Han, Di Tuhe Jia Fu, Fang Ri Rabbit Geng Yan, Xin Yue Fox Kou Xun, Tai Fire Tiger Cen Peng, Ji Shui Leopard Feng Yi.

So you just need to write "Jiaomujiao Deng Yu. Zhang San (my own name), four copper coins" on the note and then go to the counter to pay the money.

After paying the money, your note will be placed in a large cabinet in the hall, with twenty-eight small drawers on it, just like the medicine cabinet in a pharmacy.

Then when the lights are on the night, the treasure official will come out of the inner room and use the crutch in his hand to break the clay pot on the beam of the house.

Once the clay pot is broken, a pre-stacked note will fall down in the middle. If the note says "Jiaomujiao Dengyu", then congratulations, multiply your four copper coins by 20, you will get a profit of eighty copper coins!

If you don't win the bet, that doesn't matter. As long as you are suppressing the other six of the Oriental Qinglong, you can get twice the profit, which means you won four cents.

The time when the night is at the lantern is the time to "open treasure". Since this day, all those who have made bets here have gathered here, staring at the clay pot without blinking, waiting for the name of the bets to float out from there.

If this kind of game is hit, it will get a 20-fold return with a probability of 1/28.

In addition, there is still a 1/4 chance of being able to double your money. This has attracted many people to come here to play.

Because this kind of gameplay is relatively civilized, it is neither noisy nor conflicted. Therefore, there are also many brothel women and housewives who take their pocket money here to fight for it with their pocket money, hoping that it can increase by 20 times at once.

Of course, there are also gamblers here who are gamblers. They spend hundreds or thousands of taels of silver here and write more than a dozen notes in a row to gamble. There are many such people.

When the sky got darker, more and more people in the hall began to gather.

Seeing that there was no trace of light coming from the clam shells that were as thin as paper in the hall. The ghost master who was in charge of the treasure bureau here ordered the friend to come with his hand lamp.

This "Ghost Master" is an old man in his 60s. He looks very vulgar and is extremely ugly. He has one leg that is naturally short.

But this old guy was fierce and vicious in his stomach and had a very strong mind, so he was appointed as his deputy by Liu Quanzhi, who was specifically responsible for the affairs of the treasure bureau.

When the Ghost Master came out of the hall, the crutch he was leaning on hit the ground. As soon as it made a "tick" sound, the crowd outside began to buzz!

Everyone knows that it is time to open the treasure. So everyone stretched their necks excitedly and looked at the crutch in the ghost master's hand with hope, waiting for it to waving and break the clay pot.

At this moment, the "ghost master" who walked out glanced and found a woman with extremely gorgeous appearance in a corner of the yard.

I saw that this little woman could almost be called a girl, about sixteen or seventeen years old. However, she was dressed as a woman, and she was obviously married.

The little woman was dignified with a cool expression on her face. She was sitting on a small stool in the yard with her back straightened. Looking at her appearance, she seemed to feel like she didn't like to pay attention to anyone.

Beside him was a little maid, and a woman in her 30s, dressed incredibly beautifully and stood beside her.

I saw the gorgeous middle-aged woman looking at her when she saw the ghost master looking at her, and a light flashed in her eyes.

The ghost master knew him. This middle-aged woman was his Tian hook, named Hua Yuenu.

This Huayuenu was originally a private prostitute. Since he became the hook for the ghost master, he has specifically found opportunities to hang out in the inner houses of wealthy families, chatting and making jokes with the women who lived in the deep courtyard and lived a very lonely life.

In this process, this Huayuenu will clearly understand the family’s family’s assets and the money situation at hand of the hostess.

Then, this Huayuenu will lure the women in the deep house here, and in a few seconds, they will completely win over the money in their hands.

The ghost master remembered that a few days ago, the Hua Yuenu brought a nun from the nun, which made the nun anxiously lose. He brought all the fields of incense fields in the temple and lost completely in the treasure bureau.

This time, when the ghost master saw that extremely beautiful little woman, he felt happy!

It seems that Hua Yuenu has made a big fortune this time. At this time, the ghost master didn’t have to look at the clothes and jewelry on the young woman. Just relying on the style of this little woman, their family’s money is inevitable!

...

As the time for the treasure was about to be opened, the ghost master went up and stood in the center of the hall, under the clay pot.
Chapter completed!
