Chapter 893: Gaming Craze, Gambler Maniac
With a "creak" sound, the boss's wife became nervous. She picked up a kitchen knife with the rolled mouth and stared at the tattered wooden door nervously. When she saw that although the man who came in was a tightly wrapped around her body, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Boss, you're back!" The boss's wife's voice was crying, obviously she was already scared.
The little Zhuzi on the side happily wanted to pounce on him and hug his father, but was quickly blocked by the shopkeeper with his hands. He panicked: "Don't make trouble, my son, my father is dirty now!"
Xiao Zhuzi blinked her eyes. She looked at her father, but she didn't see any dirty places. She saw that the shopkeeper quickly took off the linen wrapped around her body after entering the room, then piled them under the stove, burned them clean, and then took his wife's hand into the inner room.
The boss lady looked at the shopkeeper with a gaze. Although she had been in charge of this family, it was only at this moment that she truly understood the value of her husband and what she deserved to rely on.
The shopkeeper's face was solemn and looked painful. He whispered: "All the city gates are blocked, and there are guards guarding them at the door, so he can't escape at all."
The boss lady choked and said, "Do you want to stay here and wait for death?"
The shopkeeper stopped talking and hesitated. The boss saw it and hurriedly said, "The boss, please say it quickly. When is it time to speak up?"
The shopkeeper whispered: "When I went out to inquire about the news, I heard someone say, "The prefect... I want us to die..."
The boss lady took a breath and she said tremblingly: "Why is this? Why did the prefect want us to die? Is he crazy?"
The shopkeeper lowered his voice and said, "I heard it's for revenge!"
The boss's wife was shocked and angry. She naturally knew what the prefect Li Tian had done before, but she didn't expect that the prefect Li Tian would really dare to avenge his personal revenge so arrogantly and take revenge just after the prince left!
The boss lady was furious and said, "Ah? Does the prince know this? This is simply outrageous! He wants to kill the whole city, but the prince has peeled off his skin?!"
The people of Daqi all know that the prince is a holy prince who loves the people as much as his son, but he uses a knife to the corrupt officials and the crazy evil officials who are ill-hearted and evil officials, but he does not have any feelings for him!
They all firmly believed that if the prince knew about this, he would definitely chop off the head of the prefect Li Tian to sacrifice to the people he killed.
The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment and whispered: "I still heard..."
The boss's wife was impatient. She poked the shopkeeper's finger and said annoyedly: "What are you saying? Can't you finish it in one breath? Do you have to breathe? What bad news?"
The shopkeeper's voice was almost inaudible, and he whispered: "Someone is connecting in the city, preparing to find a chance to escape together!"
The boss's wife's eyes lit up, and she whispered: "When? Where to escape?"
The shopkeeper whispered: "I'm in touch. I heard that those guards Qiu Ba and the others want to escape. Once they understand the people among them, it will be much easier!"
The boss lady thought about it, but was a little confused: "But... where can I go after escaping?"
The shopkeeper whispered: "Don't worry about so many things. The plague in Taiyang City is rampant and there is no medicine to treat it. The prefect is still blocking the city in a crazy way. If this continues, everyone in the city will die sooner or later! If you don't escape, will you still stay in the city and wait for death?"
The boss lady sighed and said, "This hard day...when will it be the end!"
The shopkeeper thought for a while and said, "I'll go and inquire tomorrow. We must escape together!"
...
When Xiao Zhuzi's family was plotting to escape from the terrible hell of Taiyang, in the distant Shenjing, there was a bustling and bustle, and a rich and mesmerizing scene.
Early in the morning, just as the sky was dawn, Shenjing was already bustling. Laoxutou arrived at the door of a newly opened Boyu store on the street early, and looked forward to it before opening.
Laoxutou is one of the lowest gambling sticks among the Shenjing. They are good at gambling and bad at gambling. They ask them about the Four Books and Five Classics on weekdays and ask them about current affairs. They are sure to ask them about the three questions and are confused. But if they are asked to talk about their gambling scriptures, hey, they can talk endlessly and spit out to others for three days and three nights: Which sieve is filled with lead! Which casino thugs are more powerful! Which dealer is not clean! Which snare is more powerful!
There are 100,000 such gamblers in Shenjing!
They heard that the court actually opened an official theater venue, and it was actually a new trick. After a little research, their gambling sticks discovered the mystery and immediately became interested.
And what is the mystery?
Nothing else, fair!
Yes, although Mark Six is a big player who openly cheats, this is already a fair, just and open project in most gambling projects.
After all... the gambling money is low, it's so low! There are only ten copper coins in one bet! And once you win... it will be 500,000 taels!!
Five hundred thousand taels!!
As soon as this news came out, the Shenjing Gambling Club World first caused a sensation!
Five hundred thousand taels are enough for them to spend their whole life!!
And the effort is only ten copper coins!
The casinos and gamblers who did not really see the mystery were sneered and the other was secretly happy!
Is the court here to give money?
If someone really wins the first prize of ten copper coins, then the fun will be great!
So these gamblers came early on the first day of opening the museum. Although the streets of Shenjing have set up theater purchase points, each museum is already crowded with people, and the queue is like a long queue!
Lao Xu thought he had arrived early, but he didn't expect that someone would sit there and follow the team slowly moving, and there were even people holding a roll of bedding under their armpits! It seemed like they had been staying here for a night!
This style made Lao Xu, who is a veteran gambler, feel a little dumbfounded!
Lao Xu waited patiently and kept queuing for two hours. It was his turn. Lao Xu had already studied the gameplay in the diary before coming, so he took a tael of silver and bought a hundred bets in one go, and each bet was different.
But Lao Xutou was just one of these gamblers who bought bets frantically. What even Prince and Li Chengfeng and others did not expect was that... The reward for opening the pool of 500,000 yuan was already astronomical. They had to hold several periods at the beginning, and the amount of bets purchased by the gamblers could exceed this number.
But what they never expected was that... just one morning, just in Shenjing, the enthusiastic gamblers invested more than half a million bets!
And all this is just the beginning of this crazy wave.
Li Chengfeng opened a Pandora's box with his own hands.
