With the horse's hooves treading gently, Wei Yidao led Da Zhuang forward. He did not accept the proposal of the Lord of Qi Fang because he did not trust the officials and his family, and he had never believed in him. Now that they needed him, they naturally discussed it with a smile. When Tu Qiong Dagger arrived,

When they met, the knife he stabbed might be faster and harder than that traitor's.

Ah Da sat behind the car, stroked the long cloth bundle behind him and said, "That city lord just now is an weapon refiner?"

Wei Yidao asked strangely: "How did senior know about it?"

Ah Da Dao: "He looked behind me three times just now. Every time he looked, his breath was a little confused, as if he was hesitating whether to test me or not."

Wei Yidao didn't notice it, he smiled and said: "Senior, is there still a superior magic weapon in the long cloth bag behind you?"

Seeing Ada's expression of "you guessed it right" again, Wei Yidao laughed at himself: "Yes, yes, I should take a gamble on my luck."

After that, they came to a gambling house. The plaque hanging on it had the four characters "Jucai Gambling House" written in gold paint.

The young man greeting people at the door saw Wei Yidao and others, and immediately came forward and said: "Everyone, come inside and play."

Wei Yidao got off his horse and said to Da Zhuang and the others: "Let's go in."

Da Zhuang took the initiative to help Wei Yidao lead the horse, and then said: "You go ahead, I will sleep outside for a while. If A Hua knows that I go to the gambling house, she will definitely scold me to death."

Wei Yidao laughed and said: "Brother Da Zhuang, if you are afraid of this wife before she gets married, how will you live your life in the future?"

Da Zhuang also smiled and said: "Brother Wei, it will be my lifelong blessing to marry A Hua. It is not a bad thing to be afraid of my wife."

Ah Da helped Da Zhuang to help him out and said: "Forget it, Da Zhuang still has to watch the goods in the car. We will come out when Xiao Wu is happy."

Shi Wu was stunned and said: "Wait for me to be happy?"

Wei Yidao answered: "No, your uncle is really worried because of you."

Wei Yidao still wanted to speak, but Ah Da said directly: "Let's go."

After saying that, Wei Yidao and the others entered the gambling house under the guidance of the welcoming boy.

Different from the narrow entrance, there is a whole other world inside the gambling house. The spacious venue is crowded with people. Every gambling table is crowded with people, and hoarse shouts come one after another. The boy led the way and said: "You three gentlemen, we

Jucai Gambling House is the largest gambling house in the city. There are more than twenty gaming tables and there are more ways to play. There is everything from Pai Gow to dice to mahjong. If the three men in front are not satisfied with gambling,

, we also have private rooms for VIPs at the back, but each person will be charged ten taels of silver for the private room."

"Ten taels?" Shi Wu said in disbelief. This was his first time entering a gambling house, and he still couldn't understand why these people were so crazy.

The boy saw that it was Shi Wu's first time here and explained: "Sir, there are tea, water and snacks in the private room at the back. If you are tired of gambling, we can also help you book a good inn to rest. Compared with the elegant room,

There are hundreds of gambling games every now and then, and these ten taels are just a formality."

Wei Yidao took out a piece of silver and threw it to the boy, saying, "Let's go for a walk first. I'll see you if I need anything."

The young man took the money and said, "Thank you very much, uncle. I wish you good luck and great wealth."

Seeing the young boy walking away, Shi Wu said: "Brother Wei, you are too proud. Every reward is a penny."

Wei Yidao said: "Didn't you see that his expression didn't change after he took the money? He said a few good words and then left."

Shi Wudao: "Is there any significance to this?"

"Of course there is something special about that. My reward should be too little, otherwise he might want to lead us to the private room at the back to have a look." Wei Yidao said.

Shi Wu said disapprovingly: "We don't have that much money, and I don't know how to gamble."

Wei Yidao said mysteriously: "Brother Xiao Wu, I guarantee you will like it after you learn it."

Shi Wu retorted: "No way."

Wei Yidao stopped arguing with him and said to Ah Daodao: "Senior, please take him to play. I will go to the private room behind to play. If you need anything, come to me."

Ah Dadao: "Go ahead, I'll get him familiar with it first."

After that, Wei Yidao went to the private room first, while Ah Da took Shi Wu with him to familiarize himself with the gambling methods.

Ah Da came to a table with the most people and said to Shi Wu: "This game is about dice, also called betting on big or small. Before we place bets, the dealer puts three dice into the dice cup and shakes them.

After everyone has placed their bets, open it again. If the sum of the three dice is between four and ten, it is small, and if it is between eleven and seventeen, it is large. If you buy big or small, the odds are one to one. Of course, you

You can also buy a leopard, that is, if the three dice numbers are the same, if you win, you will pay 20 for one. If the dealer draws a leopard, except for the one who buys the leopard, all others will be taken."

Shi Wu nodded and remembered, and asked: "Grandpa, is there any way to win?"

Ah Da Dao: "If this kind of gameplay really existed, who would open this casino?"

Shi Wu smiled and said: "That's right, I just want to win some passing money."

Ah Da touched Shi Wu's head and said, "It's okay. Grandpa Ah is here and I will definitely take you to Qin."

Shi Wu hummed and said, "Grandpa, let's go gamble."

"Okay!" Ada gave Shi Wu a tael of silver and asked him to place a bet.

Shi Wu squeezed into the crowd, looked left and right, but still couldn't make up his mind. The dealer saw Shi Wu's hesitation and said to him: "Little brother, should I bet big or small?"

Shi Wu didn't know either, but now that he heard his words of "little brother", he directly bet one tael of silver on the little one.

"Buy it and leave it! Buy it and leave it! Go!" The dealer chuckled, opened the dice cup, and said loudly, "One, three, five, nine, little one."

After saying that, on one side there were the sounds of those who were betting on the big one sighing and cursing, and on the other side there were the sounds of those who were betting on the small ones clapping their hands happily. It was the first time for Shi Wu to see this kind of scene. When the banker pushed over two taels of silver, Shi Wu had

He felt an inexplicable excitement. He ran to Ah Da with two taels of silver and said: "Grandpa Ah, I won and got two taels of silver."

Ah Da Dao: “Would you like to check out another table?”

Although Shi Wu was a little reluctant to give up, he still put the two taels of silver into his pocket and said, "Okay."

They came to another gambling table. The bet on this table was Fan Tan. Ah Da Dao said: "This is betting on beans. Did you see the numbers one, two, three, and four in front? The dealer will first

Grab a handful of beans and cover it with a bowl, and then let you place your bets. After the bets are placed, the dealer will open the bowl and count the beans, removing four beans at a time until there are four or less than four beans left at the end.

The number is the winning number."

Shi Wudao: "This is quite simple."

Ah Da Dao: "Simple is simple, the chance of winning becomes smaller, and more emphasis is placed on luck."

Shi Wuzhen said: "Isn't gambling just about luck?"

Ah Da replied: "Not entirely. Nine out of ten gamblers cheat. No matter how lucky you are, you will still lose everything in the end if the banker offers you a thousand dollars."

Shi Wudao: "How can this still be worth a thousand dollars?"

Ah Da Dao: "Then if you go to that table just now, I'm sure you'll come back to me later."

Shi Wu didn't believe it: "Grandpa, wait and see me come back with four taels of silver." After saying that, Shi Wu returned to the table where he was playing dice with great interest.

The dealer said to the people who were holding the money and preparing to place bets: "Hurry up and place your bets. The more you buy, the more you win. If you don't buy, you will regret it!"

Shi Wu saw that there were more people escorting him. After thinking about it, he dropped a tael of silver in his hand to the escort.

When the dealer saw that everyone had almost made their bets, he knocked on the table with the bamboo pole in his hand and said: "Buy the deal and leave the hand! Buy the deal and leave the hand!" Then he lifted the dice cup.

"Four, five, six, fifteen o'clock!"

This time there was a lot of cheers. Those who bet more and won more even gave the banker one or two red coins. The banker was not polite and put the money into his pocket after thanking him.

"big big big!"

"Little! Little! Little!"

Shi Wu had been completely infected by the atmosphere here and shouted with them. This time there was at least more than a hundred taels of silver on the small bet on the table. Shi Wu even bet all the three taels of silver on the table, and the big bet was

There are also eighty taels of silver on the side.

Amid the shouts from both sides, the banker opened his cup and shouted: "Three to one, leopard, take all!"

"What!"

"Ah! Why did you shoot a leopard!"

…

Amidst a burst of yelling and cursing, the dealer took away all the money on the table.

Shi Wu watched his money being taken away unwillingly. He even had the idea of ​​​​going up to snatch it back, but fortunately Ada grabbed him.

Shi Wu smiled bitterly and said: "Grandpa, I lost."

Ah Da Dao: "If you lose, you lose. It doesn't matter. Sometimes losing can be satisfying."

Shi Wu was unconvinced and said, "But I want to win."

Ah Da Dao: "Then let's go and win." As he said that, Ah Da gave Shi Wu another three taels of silver, and he took out a ten tael silver note in his hand.

Shi Wu was a little scared and said: "Grandpa, we don't seem to have much money."

Ah Da Dao: "So aren't we going to win money?"

Shi Wudao: "You said there is no sure-win game."

Ah Da Dao: "I also said that nine times out of ten I gamble, I cheat. It just so happens that I have a friend who is very good at gambling."

After hearing this, Shi Wu said with confidence: "Then I'll do it. How much do we do?"

There were all kinds of noisy shouts around Ah Da, but he was focused on looking at the dice cup, watching it shake and stop, and listening to the sound of the dealer leaving his hand after buying, as if he saw the points directly, he whispered in Shi Wu's ear

: "Five, six, six, big."
