"Lord Knight, I have the superpower of seeing through things."
As soon as he said these words, Fang Linyan smiled:
"Okay! That's you. Let me change your appearance first."
Soon, Fang Linyan and Laurent came to Luzhuangzi. From a distance, they saw a man being beaten in public by a group of people. His face was obviously bloody and he was twitching in pain, but his mouth was unforgiving.
, shouting a few words loudly:
"Didn't you eat? Use your strength to serve your father well!"
"It's so refreshing. Come on a few more times!"
"If you can't kill grandpa today, grandpa will go and have sex with your mother later."
"..."
The people next to him also continued to beat silently, and it seemed that they had a tacit understanding and did not hit the crotch, eyes, and the back of the head. When the voice of the person being beaten gradually became weak and could not support it, the person next to him seemed to have a tacit understanding.
The steward twisted his mouth, then asked someone to help the man up, and gave him a few slings of money to hurt him.
However, this man stopped cursing, vomited blood, barely saluted, and left.
Fang Linyan was reading all this with great interest. He had mentioned it in the book. This is the characteristic of Tianjin Baoju. He always leaves a thin line in everything. Even if you are a gambler and lose all your money, he will give you two ways to go.
The first way is the one in front of you. If you are pulled out by the people from the casino and beaten severely, if you can hold on and refuse to admit defeat, then the boss of the casino will give you money to see your injuries afterwards. Not only that,
After that, I will give you a sum of money (basic salary) that is just enough to make a living every month.
Of course, from now on, this person will be considered a non-staff member of the casino, and you will be the one to blame for any problems that arise in the casino in the future.
The second way is to gamble on fingers. People who lose all their money can make a last ditch effort and cut off a section of their little finger, and then use the bloody thing as a chip on the gambling table. As for the chips, the chips will be lost according to the final decision.
That's the round.
If you win this last game, you can get money and become a casino staff member.
Of course, if you lose, you will get out of here, and if you try to cut off your finger, you will get a good beating.
Not only that, casino money is not that easy to get. There are a lot of people fighting for the casino. The gangsters here in Tianjin like to play ruthless, unlike Hongxing and Dongxing where everyone picks up knives and kills people together.
It’s rough work, but similar to a duel:
If you send someone out to chop off the hands, I will send someone out to chop off the feet.
You send someone out to do a disembowelment, and I'll send someone out to dig out the heart.
You send someone to put the oil in the pan directly, and I will send someone out to light the sky lanterns.
Whoever gives in is the loser, just give the place to others.
Who should be sent up at this time? These non-staff personnel who joined later were drawn to death, so what they got every month before was literally money to buy their lives.
Fang Linyan wandered around outside, and then entered a casino with the largest reputation. The word "Four Seas" was clearly written on the plaque.
The owner of this Sihai Casino must have been familiar with the market, because the people standing at the gate are not those low-class people who are not stingy, but are similar to the reception ladies.
However, these welcoming ladies standing at the door were not very professional. To be more specific, they were either coquettish or dignified. Fang Linyan knew at once that they must have come from places like brothels.
Fang Linyan didn't stay at the door for long. Fang Linyan and Laurent walked in directly. After looking around for a while, he waved to the helper next to him:
"This is my first time here. What fun things do you have here?"
At the same time, Fang Linyan inadvertently took out a thousand taels of silver notes and shook them in his hand. Those who can help here must have quick eyesight and quick hands, such as this kind of customer who can gamble with a thousand taels at a time.
, can be regarded as a big customer, and the commission for helping Xian is also very high.
So he immediately nodded and walked forward and said:
"What's your surname, this gentleman is the little man Ma Liu."
Fang Linyan said:
"My surname is Hu. I heard from my friends that Luzhuangzi Sihai Casino is very fun. I'm going to try it today."
Ma Liu immediately said with a smile:
"It turns out it's Mr. Hu, you've come to the right place! Our Sihai Casino has many ways to play, including Pai Gow, throwing dice, guessing points, bamboo dominoes, mahjong, etc. If you want to play something new,
Yes, there are also cockfights, cricket fights, and quail fights..."
Fang Linyan thought for a moment, then cashed out the two thousand taels of silver notes in his hand, exchanged them for five 100 tael notes and ten 50 tael notes, and then he casually gambled in the venue.
At this time, Fang Linyan's chance of winning or losing in gambling was almost 30-70. Of course, Fang Linyan's chance of winning was 30-30.
To be honest, this Sihai Casino ranks among the top three in Tianjin. Although there are not many people who come to gamble with a thousand taels of silver, there are definitely a lot of them. So when I saw Ma Liu, he had already followed Fang Linyan.
After the stranger was greeted, no one in the venue paid much attention.
After this round of gambling, Fang Linyan’s main purpose was to let Laurent try his hand at which gambling method was most suitable for him. In the end, needless to say, the odd and even gambling method was the most suitable for him. This is also the most suitable gambling method among the Four Seas Casinos.
One of the most popular forms of gambling.
This gambling method is very simple. Three six-sided dice are directly held in a bamboo tube, jingling and shaking for a while, and then pressed on the table. At this time, gamblers can place their bets.
You can buy single or double, you can buy a specific number of points, or you can buy size.
The result of adding up the last three dice: 4-10 is small, 11-17 is large,
Gamblers can also specify points, for example, specify 15 points to buy. Once 15 points are drawn, 1 pays 50.
Of course, gamblers can also buy leopards, that is, the points of the three dice are the same, and the payout is 80.
Finally, the dealer opens the pot to determine the winner or loser.
After playing for a while, Fang Linyan and Laurent discussed a few words, and then came back to the table where they were playing Sic Bo. The dealer was shouting:
"I've placed my bets, I've placed my bets, and I've opened seven big ones in a row! If I buy it, I'll leave it, if I buy it, I'll leave it!"
Fang Linyan came over, and after a few bets, he lost consecutively, and seemed a little anxious. Suddenly, when he bet again, he immediately started betting, and spent all the more than 800 taels of silver left in his hand.
They all fell out and shouted:
"I bet on eight!"
His big move immediately stunned the dealers, because if Fang Linyan's bet was successful, the casino would lose fifty times! It was second only to the leopard bet.
This money is not small, it is more than 40,000 taels of silver.
The surrounding gamblers immediately started tutting their tongues, but in a casino, there are people who just sell their houses, land, and wives after losing money. It is not uncommon for a prodigal young man like Fang Linyan to lose more than 800 taels of silver.
.
Looking at Fang Linyan, the croupier who was responsible for opening the bell sneered in his heart, and directly pressed his hand on the gambling cup to open it. He has been working here for five years, and he has learned all the secret tricks in the casino.
You can still use tricks to do tricks and play magic.
However, just when he was about to do anything at the moment when he opened the cup, he suddenly felt a strange weight on his wrist! It was like someone was pinching him.
This surprise was not a trivial matter. The croupier had something on his mind and was stunned for a moment.
At this time, Fang Linyan had already slapped the table and said aggressively:
"What are you doing? Are you thinking of being a liar?"
The croupier felt cold sweat break out on his spine. He couldn't do what he originally wanted to do. He opened the cup in a panic. As a result, everyone was in an uproar. They saw a 2 o'clock and a 1 o'clock inside.
There is also a 5 o'clock, which is exactly 8 o'clock!
There happened to be six gamblers at this table who bought small, but only Fang Linyan bought eight points, which amounted to 43,000 taels of silver.
The reason why he hit the eight-point bet was because Laurent had clairvoyance. As for the dealer's problem when he opened the cup, it was because Fang Linyan's spiritual tentacles gently tugged on his wrist.
At this time, in full view of everyone, Sihai Casino must not default on its debt, otherwise it will really ruin its sign, and all the gamblers are here to stare at it!
Soon the accountant took 43,000 taels of silver and came out to pay the compensation honestly. After Fang Linyan got the money, he actually took out a few banknotes from his body, made up for 50,000 taels, and put it in the gambling room.
On the table:
"I don't have time today, let's open the cup, and then we'll decide the winner."
When he was in this position, the dealer's psychological pressure could be said to be extremely huge. He had messed up in the previous hand. Looking back, he probably didn't know how to explain it to his superiors. Listening to the young man in front of him, he would have screwed up in the next hand.
He actually wanted to play with him for a huge sum of fifty thousand taels!
Thinking about this kind of thing really makes me feel frightened, and I immediately gave in and said:
"This guest... I can't handle such a big bet at this table. If you want to be a distinguished guest, you have to ask our shopkeeper."
Fang Linyan showed a smile and said:
"I have something to do today and don't have time to spend time here, so I'll leave first."
The croupier immediately took a breath of cold air and paid out more than 40,000 taels of real money.
It's just bad debt.
As we all know, no matter how much money you win in a casino, it is not considered a win. If you can take it away and quit gambling, then the money will truly fall into your pocket.
The principle of winning first is paper, and then winning is money.
The dealer intended to stop him at this time, but he was afraid that the other party would suddenly say, why can't you take away the money you won at the casino?
Then the impact is really bad. The dealer knows very well that the reputation of the Big Boss is very important to the Sihai Casino.
The boss’s instruction every month is that it took me ten years to build this golden brand all over the world. If someone accidentally makes a mistake, be careful!
Therefore, in this situation, the dealer was really in a dilemma. When he was racking his brains to find an excuse, he heard the person in front of him say:
"Well, don't say that I didn't give you a chance to make money. You promise me a condition. I will wait here for a pack of cigarettes. If no one comes, then I will leave directly."
When the dealer heard that there was a way, he immediately said:
"Okay, you say it!"
Fang Linyan said:
"The outcome of the next hand will be determined by each game. The cup for rolling dice should use a bowl or a tea cup! I always felt that there was something wrong with your kid suddenly being in a daze in the last game."
The dealer's expression suddenly stiffened and he laughed dryly:
"Then how could it be? This gambling house has always been full of children!"
Fang Linyan said:
"Don't talk such nonsense."
Then he looked around and saw a cup of leftover tea next to him. He didn't know who drank it. Then he poured out the tea leaves and wiped it twice:
"Just use this tea cup to shake it. If you agree, I will wait. If you don't agree, I will leave!"
The gamblers next to him were all lively and did not mind the trouble, and they all started to support him. The croupier knew that the longer he hesitated, the worse things would get. Because he did not dare to change his gambling cup, wouldn't it mean that there was something really wrong with his position?
?
All he could do was grit his teeth and say:
"Okay, I promise you!"
It only took about ten minutes to get a pack of cigarettes, and the croupier didn't dare to delay, so he immediately turned around and ran up to find someone.
Obviously, the casino is a place where black and white people often visit, and there are a lot of disputes, so there will definitely be an elder who is in charge of the casino at any time. Soon there is a person wearing a satin gown and holding two irons in his hands.
The brave middle-aged man walked out, it was Mr. Hu, the major shareholder of the gambling house who stayed behind.
This Mr. Tiger was also a powerful figure in the casino back then, but the little finger on his left hand was obviously missing, and he was wearing a black finger cot. Apparently, he had once capsized in a sewer, and after learning from it, he realized that there is no chance of gambling in this world.
The only one who can win is the banker, so I do everything possible to invest in the casino.
At this time, under the watchful eyes of many gamblers, Mr. Hu wanted to maintain the dignity of Sihai Casino, and it was not convenient for him to say harsh words. He just slightly arched his hands, and then said to Lin Yan:
"I invited this friend. I heard that you want to play to determine the outcome?"
Fang Linyan said:
"Yes, I still have something to do, and I don't have time to waste time here. Fifty thousand taels, one win or the other will determine the outcome!"
As soon as Mr. Hu raised his hand, someone brought a stool for him to sit down, and then said in a harsh voice:
"Okay! But what I want to state first is that our Sihai Gambling House doesn't do any fancy work. Our winning or losing depends on God!"
"The reason why I agreed to exchange the teacups for you to shake the dice was because Xiao Liu made the decision in private, and it's not because of our guilty consciences! Today I will make an exception to play with you."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to press the dice clock, but Fang Linyan stretched out his hand and said calmly:
"Wait a minute."
Then he stretched out his hand and knocked on the table, where he saw fifty thousand taels of silver notes.
"Master Hu, I keep all my gambling books there, where are yours?"
When Fang Linyan said this, the people in the casino behind him immediately became unhappy:
"Damn it, boy, are we going to be short of your fifty thousand taels?"
"Our Sihai Casino can still compensate you with ten times more money!"
"..."
Faced with these abuses, Fang Linyan didn't say much. He stood up, picked up the money and prepared to leave. At the same time, he said calmly:
"It's your business to have money all over the world, but no matter how big you are, you can't break the rules! I'll bet you some real money and platinum. If you just sit down here and sit down, you, Lord Tiger, can get 50,000 taels of silver?"
