The third shopkeeper asked: "Liu Lieutenant General, are we going to make a big mess or a small mess?" Liu Ziguang wondered: "What is a big mess or a small mess? Is this a mess? I am not afraid of chaos. If there is more chaos, can it be as chaotic as a hundred thousand Qing troops?"
Then he patted the newly acquired Baihong Dao on his waist.
The guards at the iron factory behind also shouted: "It's going to be a big mess. I'm going to make a big mess. The more chaotic the better! I've never seen anything like this before."
The third shopkeeper hurriedly explained: "The so-called Daluan Xiaoluan is the name of the brothel on the Qinhuai River. Its full name is Gone with the Wind. Daluan is an integrated entertainment venue built on the bank of a restaurant and brothel, where you can drink, listen to music, gamble, and chat with your sisters and children.
, as long as you have money, there is no trick you can't play, as the so-called big chaos. Xiaoluan is a large boat driven by the same boss, which cruises on the Qinhuai River with bright lights all night, because there are not as many guests as there are.
There are many large chaos, so it is called small chaos, but the level of luxury is even better than that of large chaos. The most popular courtesan in the capital, Dong Xiaowan, sings in small chaos. This small chaos is not accessible to ordinary people. It must be
You have to have a VIP card, and no one is allowed to follow you in. The money spent on drinking and listening to music in one night is enough for a person like me to make half a year's salary."
When talking about Dong Xiaowan, Liu Ziguang observed that the third shopkeeper's eyes were blurry. Dong Xiaowan was a beauty from the south of the Yangtze River that fascinated Emperor Shunzhi. No wonder the third shopkeeper was so obsessed with her. I must go and see her.
"Third shopkeeper, we Lianfenghao have that VIP brand you mentioned, right?" It stands to reason that a large chain enterprise like Lianfenghao can also get along well in the scene, so it should have such a thing.
Sure enough, the third shopkeeper took out a jade plaque from his pocket, with the four characters "Gone with the Wind" engraved on it, and a pink silk ribbon hanging from the bottom.
"Back to the lieutenant, there is indeed a VIP card in the trumpet, but it took a lot of effort to get it. A small mess is not as big as a big mess. You can't get in if you have money. Generally speaking, only high-ranking officials and nobles are received, and ordinary merchants take money.
You will be kicked out if you enter. In addition, this VIP card can only allow one person to enter. ．
"Only one person can enter. Third shopkeeper, you have been in the capital all year round, so you definitely don't want to go again. As for the brothers, just go to Daluan. All expenses will be borne by me."
Liu Ziguang asked the guard to take out his wallet, took out the banknotes, took a thousand taels and handed it to Duncan, asking him to take the guards to Daluan. He followed the third shopkeeper to Xiaoluan to see the world.
The men and horses were divided into two. Duncan led a group of men into Daluan happily. The third shopkeeper took Liu Ziguang to the pier at the entrance of Daluan. Xiaoluan was already swimming slowly in the Qinhuai River. Later guests could only take special buses.
The boat caught up with him and boarded the boat. After checking the VIP card at the dock, Liu Ziguang got on the boat. The third shopkeeper made a special statement: "Liu Lieutenant General, please leave your saber to the safekeeping of Xiao Luan for the time being. Xiao Luan will not let you go."
Armed."
It is normal to carry restricted knives in entertainment venues. Liu Ziguang took off the Baihong knife and handed it to the third shopkeeper, "Put it away! This is a treasured sword given by the Duke of the country. There can be no mistakes." After all, the third shopkeeper is an insider in the weapons shop, so he took over.
Knowing that it was a fine sword, he quickly held it in his arms and said, "I'll take it back to the ship for safekeeping right away. Don't worry, the general will be happy." He took out a small ingot of silver and threw it to the boy rocking the boat.
When the young man heard the words "Guogong's Mansion" and "General", he knew that the person who got on the boat was also a well-educated person, so he hurriedly nodded and bowed in greeting. After watching the boat roll away, the third shopkeeper turned and left.
The painting boat moved very slowly, and soon he caught up with it. Liu Ziguang climbed onto the painting boat from the hanging ladder and looked around. It was indeed extremely luxurious. The Duke's Mansion he saw during the day was luxurious enough, and this place was even better.
, in addition to luxury, there is also a feeling of extravagance, the sound of silk and bamboo, the romantic laughter of women, the bright lights, and the carved decorations. The servants and maids coming and going are all carefully selected, and the men are all handsome young men with red lips and white teeth.
The girls are all charming and slim little lolita.
"It's really a place where people live in luxury." Liu Ziguang lamented. You basically don't have to spend money on the boat. The VIP card itself cost a huge amount of money to buy, so eating wine, listening to music, and even asking girls to accompany you are all a matter of course.
It's free.
The boat is divided into three floors. The first floor is the casino, the second floor is the restaurant, and the third floor is the guest room. The top is the terrace, which is also a place for watching the scenery and listening to music. I heard that the top star Dong Xiaowan will not be appearing today, but a girl named Liu Piaopiao.
During the performance above, Liu Ziguang suddenly lost interest and planned to visit the casino.
Money is only needed at the gambling table. The chips can be exchanged in advance and divided into six specifications: twelve taels, fifty taels, one hundred taels, five hundred taels, one thousand taels, and five thousand taels. They are made of golden nanmu.
, the words inlaid with gold wire marked the amount. Liu Ziguang didn’t like gambling, so he didn’t go to exchange the chips. But the boy still gave three chips worth ten taels of silver and a cup of tea on a gold lacquer tray. Haha, this casino’s
The shopkeeper has a Vegas style. He understands people's psychology. Of course he will gamble with the free chips. If he wins, he will still want to win. If he loses, he will want to make up for it. But this trick is useless to Liu Ziguang.
, he had taken psychology as an elective in college, and he was about to go to the exchange office to exchange cash for cash and take it away when he suddenly saw a familiar figure next to the gambling table. He immediately changed his mind and walked over.
Drinking too much wine will make you thirsty. Liu Ziguang drank the fragrant tea first, put the tea cup aside, sat down at the gambling table, and patted the person next to him on the shoulder: "Little brother, what a coincidence, we meet again."
That man was the flying boy who had been rescued during the day. Now he was dressed in silk and satin, and he looked more like a young man from an official family. When he saw Liu Ziguang sitting next to him, he did not show any surprise, and just said lightly
: "Xiongtai is also a sweet-tempered person. As soon as he arrived in the capital, he went to Xiaoluan to have fun."
Just as Liu Ziguang was about to speak, the young man grabbed him, stretched his head and whispered: "Buy with me, all in." His confident tone left no room for doubt.
Liu Ziguang chuckled. They were free chips anyway, so he followed the boy and put the chips on the small one. This is a simple way of rolling the dice to bet on the big or small. You can buy big or small, or you can buy specific numbers, so you can win more.
some.
The betting cup was opened, one, two, three, the winner. Liu Ziguang happily took the winning chips and said, "Little brother, you have a trick." The young man smiled and said nothing, and motioned Liu Ziguang to continue betting with him.
He won more than a dozen games in a row, causing all the customers around him to follow the boy's lead. The banker was in a hurry and couldn't stand it anymore when he saw a lot of chips being sold out. He gave the guy next to him a wink, and someone came immediately.
Reported.
After a while, a middle-aged man came out, with a round face and a tall figure, wearing a scholar's uniform. Although he was a little older, he could still tell that he was handsome when he was young. He had a toothpick in his mouth, which made him look steady and a little bit calm.
Debauched. Isn’t this the ancient version of Chow Yun-fat? Liu Ziguang secretly marveled.
The middle-aged man sat at the table and said, "Kids, you have won a lot. Let's play a big game. Each of us throws three dice. The winner is determined by winning two out of three games. The bet is all the chips in your hand. If
If you win, I will give you twice as much. If you lose, please leave, okay?"
"No problem." The young man lazily took a gambling cup, picked up three dice, bumped them in his hands, and threw them into the cup. "Should I bet big or small?"
"It's not a big deal who gets blocked in the first game." Classical Chow Yun-fat said.
The two began to shake the gambling cups in their hands, and looked at each other while shaking. The gamblers around them were also paying attention to their every move, and followed them to place bets. The guests who often came to play knew that this middle-aged man was a professional in the casino.
The hired expert was Zhou Wenqiang, who was known as the God of Gamblers in the past. As the saying goes, old age is still hotter, so everyone put their chips on Zhou Wenqiang's side. Only Liu Ziguang still put the pile of chips he had won.
Bet on the boy's side.
After shaking it for a long time, it finally stopped. The young man started first and opened the gambling cup. The three ivory dices all had one point up, three ones, small! It couldn't be any smaller. There was a sound of sighs and discussions around.
Zhou Wenqiang smiled faintly. "Watch it, kid." He slowly opened the gambling cup, and found three ivory dice stacked together, with the top dot facing up. The three dices rolled out one dot. It was simply unbelievable. It was worthy of being said.
God of Gamblers. The boy lost the first game, and the gamblers around him became excited again.
In the second game, the score was higher. Just as the young man was about to pick up the gambling cup, he was stopped by Liu Ziguang: "Are you going to throw three sixes?" The young man didn't quite understand what Liu Ziguang meant. "Yeah, what?"
"I'll do it." Liu Ziguang said. He had seen so many gambling movies before, and now it finally comes in handy. Although three sixes are big, he definitely can't win. That Zhou Wenqiang will definitely work hard on the dice.
"Are you two together?" Zhou Wenqiang asked. After receiving confirmation, the gambling game continued. Liu Ziguang also checked the dice in a serious manner.
This time Zhou Wenqiang shook for a little longer, while Liu Ziguang just shook it casually a few times.
When it was opened again, Zhou Wenqiang's dice was really surprising. Not only did he roll three sixes, but one of the dice was cut off from the middle, and the other side was also facing up, which was a one-point. The total was nineteen points, which was better than three.
There was still a little more than six. The gamblers around him kept praising him, and some said that the gambling game was almost over. He had won two games in a row. Even if Liu Ziguang rolled three sixes, he would definitely lose.
"You are all happy too early." Liu Ziguang said, slowly opening the gambling cup in front of him. The fragments were all fragments, and they were broken neatly. There were six fragments in total. Counting the scattered ideas, there were twenty-two in total.
Click, Liu Ziguang wins. The three dice have been tampered with by him just now, and they break as soon as they are shaken.
The gamblers finally understood that today was a showdown between masters. It was definitely something worth bragging about to see a master who could beat the God of Gamblers. Everyone was excited. Even the guests who were drinking and listening to music upstairs ran down to watch the battle.
In a nearby room, the casino manager was reporting the situation to the madam of the boat: "These two people are obviously here to ruin the place. Do you want to throw them into the Yangtze River to feed the fish?"
The madam was an old lady in gold and silver. She waved her hand calmly: "The water in the capital is muddy. Have you figured out where these two people came from?"
"The older one was sent over by the third shopkeeper of Lianfeng No. 3. I don't know him. He is probably a guest from Liguo Iron Works. The VIP card that the younger one got is from the palace, but it's not the highest-end kind.
"
"One is a guest of the Lianfeng, and the other is the eunuch's nephew. They dare to cause trouble on the boat of Gone with the Wind. You really don't know the heights of heaven and earth! Ask someone to break their hands and feet and throw them to the river. Don't teach these people a lesson.
It really feels like we have no backstage."
"Young man, let's do it now." The casino steward immediately went out to summon the thugs. Seven or eight brawny men with rough faces gathered around and followed the steward's fingers at the hatch to watch Liu Ziguang and the boy. "Did you see that?
, those two idiots, after being thrown around, actually came to cause trouble in our little place. Brothers noticed it. When the gambling game is over, I will go over and call them over. You prepare the sacks and beat them first.
