In fact, just like the Indian police, in the eyes of the British, the Chinese police also have many problems, such as alcoholism, extortion, and gambling.
Gambling is common for Chinese people. Mahjong, leaf tiles, sieve throwing, and even simple guessing of odd and even numbers allow the Chinese to play in countless ways. Sometimes I have to admire some people. Being able to play is also a talent. Unfortunately,
Many Chinese are unwilling to use their talents in a righteous way.
As early as the Huayong Camp era, gambling had become a stubborn problem for Chinese soldiers. The British officers tried every means to get rid of the Chinese gambling problem, and even used corporal punishment and confinement. Unfortunately, the effect was very little, especially
What is ironic is that the Chinese soldiers were happy with the punishment of confinement, because the British cells were clean and tidy, and they had two meals a day. The people locked in them could rest comfortably all day without having to undergo hard training or training.
Performing tasks is almost like a reward for soldiers who make mistakes.
The so-called big gambling is harmful to the body and small gambling is pleasant. In the past, Rock would play two games when he was free, but the winning or losing was limited to one shilling. No matter he lost a shilling or won a shilling, he would stop playing immediately.
.
Others don't have this ability to control themselves. Some Chinese policemen are bad at gambling. They lose all their salary before they even have a warm hand. It's common for them to roll up their sleeves and get started when they lose. Luo Yi is one of them.
Leader, this guy used to be a gangster from Tianjin Wei. He is proficient in all kinds of charlatanism. Usually, Luo Yi takes the lead and opens the market.
The noise came from Luo Yi's room. Luo Ke opened the door, and suddenly a choking smell of feet mixed with the smell of tobacco spurted out. It felt like he was in a garbage dump in August.
The taste is so sour that it's almost disgusting.
Holding back the discomfort, Rock went in and separated the people who were tugging and tugging. The reason was simple. Luo Yi probably had bad luck today, and was discovered when he was out of money, so he lost to a few anxious Chinese policemen.
Stop it immediately. If Luo Ke hadn't arrived in time, Luo Yi would definitely have been beaten today.
"The inspector has given repeated orders not to gather together to gamble. You are really not afraid of death." As a former corporal in the Huayong Camp, Roque still has some prestige among the Chinese police. Otherwise, it would be impossible to separate the angry gamblers.
"As long as we don't tell, the inspector won't know." Luo Yi smiled playfully. With Luo Ke here, Luo Yi escaped today.
"Where's your partner? Can you guarantee that he won't snitch on you?" Roque doesn't believe in people's hearts. He only believes that there is no airtight wall in the world. They are all gamblers. There is no bottom line. When he loses, he will stab someone with a knife.
Not surprising at all.
"I gave him a shilling and asked him to go out to play. If he snitches, he won't be able to earn this money in the future." Luo Yi has quite a method, and the method is quite practical. This is also a talent, but it's a pity.
You can't use your talent in the right way.
"How much did you win today?" Rock stopped waffling and pointed straight to the core.
"Damn, you won more than a pound from a few of us——"
"He won like shit, he gave away a thousand dollars, we already thought something was wrong, today we finally caught the thief."
"Exchange the money back, and return all the people who cheated us before."
The policeman who lost the money was filled with indignation. This time Luo Yi was in doom. According to the rules of the road, if he was caught in public, his hand would be chopped off.
"If you don't look for old debts, pay back the money this time, and then come to my room, and I will find a way for you to change the money." Luo Ke doesn't look for old debts, and there is no way to pay this kind of debt. No matter how much you lose, you can win.
No number.
It was a blessing to have this result. Luo Yi stopped talking nonsense and emptied his pockets. Although the policemen who lost money were unwilling to accept Luo Ke's mediation, they accepted Luo Ke's mediation.
There is nothing you can do if you don't accept it. If the matter comes to the British, no one can get over it. The British don't care who is right and who is wrong. As long as they participate in gambling, they are wrong.
Back in his dormitory, Rock found a stack of bowls, started each person with a bowl of beer, and then confided in his heart.
"What's the point of winning one's own money? It's your own money when you're a rat carrying a gun. It's all your own money. Once you're in trouble, who will help you if there's trouble in the future? Even your brothers can't be trusted, how can you still do it?"
Can we rely on those foreigners?" In another situation, Roque would never care about the life and death of these rotten gamblers, but now, there are probably only about thirty Chinese in Cape Town. Roque doesn't want to give up unless he has to.
Anyone: "Where are we? Cape Town is the largest port in southern Africa. There are countless merchant ships going north and south every day. Those merchant ships have to rest for a few days when they come to Cape Town. The sailors are still returning after they dock.
Why don't you have some fun? Those sailors are very rich. If you don't cheat those sailors, but you are interested in the three melons and two dates in your brother's pocket, I will embarrass you."
The so-called people rely on mountains and rivers to eat and drink. When you are in Cape Town, you should think of the sailors passing by. Different from what ordinary people think of sailors, sailors who travel to the ocean these days are very rich. Sailors can carry some supplies with them.
Come to buy and sell, the money is easy to come by, and you can spend it happily. Besides, the sailor cannot stay in Cape Town for too long, and there is no way to deal with it if he is cheated. Rock and the others are the police themselves.
This, this is simply the right time, the right place and the right people.
"Trick foreigners!" Luo Yi's eyes were as wide as copper bells. He never expected that this was how Luo Ke made money.
"Foreigners are not easy to trick."
"Can foreigners cheat me?"
"Maybe something will happen."
Others were talking a lot, and they were obviously a little afraid to take action. These days, foreigners are like emperors in front of the Chinese, and the Chinese police did not dare to resist when facing the Indian police. Let them attack real foreigners. The gap between them is really huge.
too big
"Foreigners are human beings too, why can't they be cheated? Don't forget that we are Capetonians now, and we also work for foreigners. Don't worry about anything else. Luo Yi, I just want to ask you one thing, how is your technology?" Roque didn't.
This kind of concern means that for other people, cheating foreigners is inviting trouble. For Rock, it is an honor to make money from foreigners. It doesn't matter how he makes the money, and it doesn't matter how he makes money.
In fact, it is not a black heart. How can it be a black heart in the civilized world? The British still used ships and cannons to steal openly during the Qing Dynasty. The jungle society pays attention to the fact that a big fist means being reasonable. To put it bluntly, a fly will not bite you.
Sewing eggs can only trick those greedy gamblers. If you don't gamble or are greedy, Rock and the others can't force ginseng to gamble with a gun.
"Master Luo, I'm not boasting about my skills. As long as those foreigners dare to end up, if I, Luo Yi, don't win back their underwear, I won't take your surname Luo." Luo Yi made nonsense, and Luo Ke couldn't laugh or cry. You are not my son.
