In ancient times, the government imposed severe penalties for gambling. If the value of gambling money exceeded five pieces of silk, there would be penalties. Penalty, imprisonment, or exile, gambling, gambling, and even abandoning the market occurred in Caishikou in all dynasties.

.

Gambling, on the one hand, makes people tired and relaxes their profession and stops farming, which leads to the desolation of fields and reduces national taxes. In serious cases, all the people gamble, and there are examples of country subjugation in the long history. However, while the imperial court strictly prohibited gambling and increased the penalties, gambling also

However, the industry has shown a booming trend and has been repeatedly suppressed.

Chang'an Yisanchangkou is flanked by cross streets. The street is more than 3,000 steps long from the beginning to the end of the alley. On both sides of the street, there are normal shops, such as snack bars, stalls, teahouses, etc. as cover, but in fact they are inner halls.

Most of the secret pavilions have underground stairways.

Sanchangkou is a Sanchangkou zone. There are no less than 300 underground casinos, large and small, and the gambling industry is extremely developed. Government offices come and go. Casinos with backstages can receive advance notice of internal cleaning from the government, and the government officials can act out with the bookmakers during inspections.

Double act, the store will stay in business all year round. Those who have no backstage and no money to bribe the official, these small businessmen who earn a vote in exchange for a vest store have to carefully send some sentries on the streets every day to watch the arrival of the official, so as to prepare for the arrival of the official.

Get the news and rush out.

Whether it was the Turkic Tatars' aggressive horseback troops pressing down on the banks of the Weishui River and breaking through the city of Chang'an; or the Tibetan troops approaching the imperial city, scaring Emperor Suzong into negotiating a peace treaty and marrying his daughter;

Since the street was built, it has gone through several wars and has remained standing in Chang'an City for more than 50 years.

Most casinos have underground casinos that can accommodate hundreds of people. All night long, the brightly lit basements are full of people coming in and out, like market scoundrels and street gangsters, all with a few dollars in their pockets.

I came here hoping to make a fortune with my money, hoping that with good luck I could make a few bucks, and then I went to a restaurant to eat and drink and have fun for a few days, or I went to a black brothel that was lower than a brothel to find one or two prostitutes.

Address physiological needs.

Of course, a large number of dignitaries, merchants and scholars are also keen to bring huge sums of money to underground casinos to spend money. These rich and status people are generous and generous. Some of them want to have fun through gambling, and some are greedy, hoping to win big money by spending a lot of money.

Huge lottery money, hoping to get rich overnight.

However, in a dark place like a casino, where people are mixed and money transactions are extremely fluid, the probability of quarrels, troubles, and even bloody incidents breaking out such as fights and gang fights is still very high.

If you are robbed by gangsters on the way, or if the banker is cut too hard by ignorant gamblers, if you encounter unsighted gangsters who destroy the place, if peers compete with each other and a group fight breaks out, someone will be injured or disabled, or...

A broken arm, a hamstring injury, a broken thigh, and even more unlucky, the loss of life. Most of the people in the industry put the body into a sack and dragged it to the bottom of the river mouth at night to feed the fish. These phenomena are very important to people in the industry.

For experienced gamblers who have been in the casino for more than a few years, it is not surprising. As long as the people you see keep silent and be honest, no one among the hundreds of thugs raised in the casino will find trouble with you when they are full.

"Li Li, hehe, you, an old gambler, still dare to come to our Rongsheng Gambling House. I have not forgotten that last month, your mother-in-law and eldest daughter were sold to the brothel by our banker boss. Now you still have

What kind of gambling money can be used to raise it?"

In the basement of Rongsheng Gambling House, there are no less than two hundred gaming tables. Thousands of gamblers are gathered in the small underground room. The air circulation in the room is poor and there is a smoky atmosphere everywhere. On a tabletop, there is a thin and haggard middle-aged man. Wearing a torn blue cloth shirt, he completely ignored the noise of the dozens of gamblers gathered around him at this moment. He just stared at the tough and tough dealer across the table. Facing the provocative words of the big man, his eyes were cold and cold. A ferocious wolf, if looks could kill, he would want to eat the person opposite him in one bite.

"Our store never drives customers away. As long as you dare to bet, we are always happy to accompany you."

The tough dealer used several large porcelain bowls to pick up the seven or eight dice on the table. He quickly shook them with his left and right hands, while teasing Li Li with contempt.

"I heard that the second daughter left in your family is pretty good-looking. Although she is a little younger, only thirteen years old, she is pretty and graceful. You have a good sense and sold her to a high-end brothel. I guess she will be given to the old madam* *I will definitely become a famous actress in a few years, haha.”

The dealer ignored Li Li who was leaning over the table to support him. He raised his eyebrows, looked around at the lively gamblers, shook his head and spit out a mouthful of phlegm, and continued to talk to himself: "You are selling your second daughter." , I made a thousand taels of silver, which just cleared our banker’s money. You really made a good deal."

"Zhao San, your wife and daughter have all lost, don't be embarrassed, go home quickly, otherwise it won't be worth losing with your life!" The gamblers who were watching the excitement gathered around Zha Li's gambling table. On the three floors inside and outside the table, a word came from the crowd, which immediately aroused the laughter of more gamblers.

"Stop talking nonsense, I don't have a penny now, and I was forced to a dead end by your Rongsheng gambling shop. Now I will use a different gambling method from your shop. I will put one hundred taels with one finger and ten index fingers. One thousand taels, one hundred taels is a round."

Li San's face immediately trembled, and a cold light flashed through his narrow eyes. It was clear that this was a person who could not only be cruel to others, but also cruel to himself. He slowly continued to stare. The dealer said in a hoarse voice:

"If I lose one round, I just stamp one finger. As long as the last finger is not stamped, if I win ten rounds, I will go back to your Rongsheng Casino to mortgage the marriage contract of my mother-in-law and my eldest daughter. Dare you? Dare to bet!"

Wrapped-up Li San squeezed out the words through his teeth word by word. In the past, Wrapped-up San was so poor in gambling that he even sold his wife and children. Everyone despised him. Now, no one expected him to have such courage. Listen. After finishing his gambling, everyone gasped, and everyone secretly said in their hearts that Li San is still a man.

For a time, the weak and thin image in front of them became a bit majestic in everyone's mind, and the eyes they looked at him became much clearer and brighter.

"Hmph, is it possible that Rongsheng Gambling House, which claims that there is no banker it can't do, is going to destroy its own brand now? It can't even dare to sit on a banker with a mere one hundred taels of silver on one finger?" Yakusan roared loudly, eyes widening. Red, looking at the dealer who was caught off guard with disdain, used cold words to bully the man.

The dealer is worthy of being a guy who has been working in the casino all year round. He has seen some scenes. He just sneered at Li San's squeeze, and then whispered to a boy next to him for a while. After a while, the boy said He turned back and nodded to the dealer.

"Haha, Li San, you are so smart! If you dare to bet on our reputation, our boss has spoken, and with just one finger, you have said it. With a mortgage of one hundred taels, we have bet on promotion!"

The dealer laughed ferociously. He had no mercy for the gamblers who dared to provoke them in the gambling house. Whether he sent thugs to the streets to make the opponent bloody and beheaded, or made the opponent completely lose everything at the gambling table.

, or you will be burdened with huge interest debts all your life, and you will always be a bully for the gambling house to pay back. Although the methods are different, the result is to kill them all without mercy.

Not to mention betting on fingers, wives and children, even if the gambler's 70- or 80-year-old mother can be sold in a brothel, they will still accept the deal from the banker.

"Young Li San, what are you betting on?"

"Old rules, the simplest, roll the dice!"
