Chapter 64 He Has No Kindness(1/2)

The Li family of Pinyang relied on Li Si's connections to prosper in Pinyang.

They operate many industries, such as brothels, gambling houses, wine shops, etc.

The most profitable of these is of course the gambling hall.

Sixty percent of the Li family's income comes from gambling houses.

Although the Li family can only rank fourth among the Pinyang family, its wealth is not inferior to that of the Wang family, which ranks first.

Throughout Pinyang, the Li family opened five gambling dens, which were basically a monopoly.

Others wanted to open a gambling den, but before they even opened for business, someone from the government came to seal it.

Changlefang is the name of the Li Family Gambling House.

Unlike other gambling halls, Li's gambling hall is very cleverly designed.

It is not only magnificent inside, but also full of routines.

For example, they will pay people to go to the casino to gamble heavily, and then walk away after winning the money.

At this time, many people see money and get involved crazily.

Also, they often only place cushions, free drinks, dried fruits, food, etc. near the gaming table, so that you can inadvertently get close to the gaming table and participate in gambling.

Similarly, there are no windows in the gambling house, nor any sound to remind you of the time, trying to create an isolated environment so that you can immerse yourself in it.

In the end, he lost everything and his family was ruined.

When Zhao Kun and Wang Li came to Changlefang, Li Yuan came to greet them personally.

It looks almost like welcoming the God of Wealth.

"Oh, sir, you are finally here! Welcome, welcome! Please come in!"

Zhao Kun joked: "What? You can't wait to win my money?"

"How can you not! It is Changlefang's honor for you, Young Master, to come to Changlefang!"

Li Yuan answered with a smile, and then greeted the boy beside him: "Go and prepare dried fruits and tea for the Young Master and the young Marquis!"

Soon, Li Yuan introduced Zhao Kun and Wang Li to the third floor.

This third floor is not accessible to ordinary people.

Although this Pinyang is not small at all, the forces are so complicated that who can tell the relationship behind each other?

Therefore, in order to serve the guests on the third floor well, the Li family has put a lot of thought into it. Not only is there food and drink, but everything is also available.

Even brothels and pawn shops have separate areas.

After the boy brought the dried fruits and tea, Li Yuan asked with a smile: "The handicap for the cavalry battle drill will take some time to open. I wonder if you will wait here, sir, or play a few games?"

Zhao Kun took a sip of tea, glanced at Wang Li, and said with a smile: "You're here, so of course you want to play a few games."

Li Yuan: "Then what kind of game do you want to play?"

Zhao Kun: "Any introduction?"

Li Yuan: "The simpler ones include betting on big and small, the more interesting ones include betting on chickens and dogs, and the more generous ones include betting on fish."

"Betting on fish?"

Zhao Kun was stunned for a moment, and asked with some confusion: "What kind of gambling method is this?"

Li Yuan explained with a smile: "This fish gambling is to find a beautiful girl sitting cross-legged on a disc with a fish on her legs. Then the banker's swordsman will cut the fish in a mask, and the gambler will place bets on the fish head and

The length of the fish’s tail.”

"Then what if someone gets killed?"

"Normally, it won't happen, but if it cuts someone, it depends on which side cuts more and which side cuts less!"

"If you have more right and less left, you win; if you have more left and less right, you lose."

"hiss……"

When Zhao Kun heard this, he took a deep breath and secretly thought that these ancients were really cruel.

No wonder it’s called gambling... This shit is so inhumane!

Forget it, forget it, I can't afford it.

For the safety of young lady, it is better not to gamble with this method.

If there is an opportunity in the future, we must explicitly prohibit it.

It's so inhumane.

Thinking like this, Zhao Kun waved his hand and said: "Just have fun and bet on something simple!"

Li Yuan smiled and said: "No problem, everything is up to you, Sir."

With that said, he prepared to take Zhao Kun to the gambling table.

But Zhao Kun did not leave immediately, but asked quietly: "I just wanted to play a few games temporarily and didn't bring much cash. I wonder if you can borrow money from this gambling house?"

"Ok, Ok……"

Hearing this, the smile on Li Yuan's face became even brighter.

Even a little excited.

He was eager for Zhao Kun to borrow money, and the more he borrowed, the better.

But Zhao Kun said again: "I'll borrow a thousand taels first. I wonder what your interest rate is?"

"With your status, we all earn an annual profit of 10%, and the profit is not compounded."

"Oh? The interest is pretty good."

Of course it’s good!

Even if there is no interest or even a discount, my Li family is willing to lend it to you.

Otherwise, how could I trick you?

Anyway, this money can't leave the gambling hall.

Li Yuan thought this in his heart, but said: "It is a villain's blessing to satisfy the young master."

"Ah."

Zhao Kun let out a "ha" and said with a smile: "You are quite good at talking. Okay, then write a contract and clearly state the interest and so on."

"Sir, wait a moment, I will go get ready immediately."

Li Yuan bowed his hands and hurried downstairs.

Looking at his hurried back, Wang Li frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "This guy is really annoying!"

"Do you hate it?"

Zhao Kun smiled noncommittally: "I think it's okay, at least the attitude is good."

"He has no good intentions."

"Who isn't?"

Zhao Kun replied casually, then pursed his lips towards the distance: "Look at those people, do you know any of them?"

Wang Li was stunned for a moment, then turned around and saw a few noble young men looking at the two of them with half-smiling smiles.

"We know each other. They are all the eldest sons of several big families in Pinyang."

"It seems that today's game is specially set up for me! Are they ready to watch a good show?"

"Why should the young master be familiar with them?"

"You don't understand, just wait and see the good show! I want to make the whole Pinyang excited."

Wang Li looked at Zhao Kun with a strange look on his face, wondering what he was planning.

However, the expectation in my heart was filled to the brim.

Soon Li Yuan brought a contract and one thousand taels of coins.

Zhao Kun did not hesitate, signed directly to take the money, and then followed Li Yuan to the gambling table.

Li Yuan glanced at the banker, who immediately understood and shouted with a smile: "Everyone, buy it and leave it! Buy it and leave it!"

"Big! I'll suppress it!"

"Xiao! I suppress Xiao!"

As the dealer yelled, the gamblers around the gaming table shouted excitedly, and then placed the coins in the two trays marked with sizes.

Zhao Kun looked at it with interest, then randomly grabbed a handful of coins and threw them into the large tray.

Seeing Zhao Kun finish placing his bet, the dealer immediately stopped: "Okay! Buy and leave!"

Immediately afterwards, the master in the background began to shake the dice. He shook the dice for about half a minute and then pushed and opened the dice on the gaming table.

Everyone took a closer look and saw that the three dice were small if they were under nine o'clock, and large when they were above nine o'clock.
