Summary of the previous chapter: Ma Xiaoquan met a guy named Lu Tian in a gambling shop. Due to their previous grudges, Ma Xiaoquan and Lu Tian made a bet...
An old man walked in front of Lu Tian. The old man had a lean figure but a pair of bright eyes.
Lu Tian bowed respectfully to the old man: "Uncle"
The old man nodded gently.
Ma Xiaoquan looked at the old man and asked Zhou Chao quietly: "Hey, who is that old man?"
Zhou Cao rolled his eyes at Ma Xiaoquan: "Fuck, Quanzi, what the hell happened to you today? You don't even recognize Fang Shoufu anymore?"
"Fang Shoufu?" Ma Xiaoquan was stunned for a moment, "You mean Fang Congzhe?"
"nonsense"
"What is this old man doing here?"
Zhou Chao sighed and said, "How could I know? Let's see and then talk."
...
Fang Congzhe patted Lu Tian on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Tian'er, I heard that you just made a bet with the fourth young master of the Ma family?"
Lu Tianyi looked proud and nodded: "Yes, uncle."
"What about the bet?"
Lu Tian chuckled and said, "If I win, his sister-in-law from the Ma family will be mine."
"Nonsense!" Fang Congzhe shook his head, "You guys are too much nonsense."
Lu Tiandao: "Uncle, I am actually just trying to scare Ma Xiaoquan, so don't worry."
Fang Congzhe shook his head: "Okay, I'll come over and take a look. You guys can play, my God, go back early."
Lu Tian nodded: "I understand, uncle."
...
The conversation between Lu Tian and Fang Congzhe was clearly heard by everyone present.
The sudden appearance of the first assistant immediately brought the atmosphere on the field to the highest level. Although the first assistant only stayed for a short moment, with the support of the first assistant, Lu Tian's popularity immediately skyrocketed. Before the betting started, someone had already set up a plan.
The outside handicap beat Lu Tian and won.
"Come on, come on, Lu Tian versus Ma Xiaoquan, Lu Tian will pay two for one, and Ma Xiaoquan will pay one hundred for one, come on, come on, let's make a bet, let's leave..."
When Ma Xiaoquan heard that his odds were one to one hundred, without saying a word, he threw out fifty taels of silver and said, "I'll win on my own!"
"Ah?" Zhou Chao, Zhao Qiao and others were stunned for a moment, then pulled Ma Xiaoquan and said, "Quanzi, you're betting on yourself to win before you even make the damn bet. What if you lose?"
Ma Xiaoquan curled his lips: "Such an attractive odds, one hundred for every one. I put in fifty taels and got back five thousand taels. How cool it is."
"But......"
"But what? You asked me to bet, so of course you have to listen to me."
All the dandies looked at each other and finally gave in to Ma Xiaoquan.
After placing bets, those who bet on Ma Xiaoquan won. In addition to the fifty taels of silver that Ma Xiaoquan himself bet, there were also a few scattered bets. However, the bets they placed were very small, basically only two copper coins.
appearance.
On Lu Tian's side, almost half the table was filled with silver coins for betting, which made the banker smile happily.
According to the regulations of Penglai Pavilion, whenever an individual sets a handicap and becomes the banker, all money must be handed over to Penglai Pavilion. Of course, in order to ensure fairness, Penglai Pavilion will issue a handicap to the banker and some gamblers.
A privilege card that allows you to stay and eat in Penglai Pavilion for free for ten days.
Gamblers who often come to Penglai Pavilion know that Penglai Pavilion is the safest underground gambling house in Beijing because it is secretly supported by the Three Parties. Furthermore, the entry fee for Penglai Pavilion is only ten taels of silver a day, not including
The food and accommodation inside, if you win, you will have the opportunity to stay in Penglai Pavilion for ten days, and it is free. For this reason, gamblers have a hundred reasons to place bets.
Lu Tian raised his eyebrows and looked at Ma Xiaoquan's side of the market, and laughed: "Ma Xiaoquan, are you feeling sour?"
Ma Xiaoquan said disapprovingly: "Sour? It's just normal. There will be spicy ones later. Lu Tian, let's start?"
Lu Tian nodded, put the three dice in his hand into the dice cup, and then handed the dice cup to the gambling officer of Penglai Pavilion.
When gambling in Penglai Pavilion, before gambling begins, the gambling equipment must be submitted to the gambling official for inspection to avoid cheating. The gambling official took the dice cup handed by Lu Tian, looked at it carefully, shook it for a while, and then ordered it.
He nodded and returned the dice to Lu Tian.
Lu Tian took back the dice cup and shook it gently. As he shook it, he said, "Ma Xiaoquan, there are three dices in the dice cup. Let's have a good time. Let's compare our bets and let the Leopards kill them all. How about that?"
Ma Xiaoquan nodded and stretched out his hand to signal Lu Tian to come first.
Lu Tian chuckled, his expression changed, and he shook the dice cup.
Lu Tian's technique of shaking the dice cup is very ornamental. It goes up and down, left and right, and the dice rotates in the dice cup, making a pleasant collision sound. In the eyes of everyone,
It seems that Lu Tian will definitely be sure of success this time.
Ma Xiaoquan shrugged his shoulders and looked at Lu Tian with interest.
"Bang" Lu Tian suddenly slammed the dice cup on the table.
Before Lu Tian could speak, the gamblers around him started placing bets with their silver taels.
Betting on big or small is actually very simple. In addition to the dice cup held by Lu Xian's hand, there are three betting points on the table. One is "big", one is "small", and one is "small".
kill".
The gamblers bet on the big hand, bet on the big hand, bet on the small hand, bet on the small hand, and a few of them directly bet on "kill".
Lu Tian looked at Ma Xiaoquan, who had not yet placed a bet, and urged: "Ma Xiaoquan, don't you dare to place a bet? Oh, by the way, there is a rule for not placing a bet. You will be fined twenty taels of silver unconditionally, and
Losing the right to roll the dice cup once, of course, you can also choose to place a bet, only ten taels per time, so even if you lose, you will not lose the right to roll the dice cup."
Ma Xiaoquan said oh, looked at the silver taels in his hand, thought for a moment, took out ten taels, and threw them on the "big" on the table: "Then let's bet big."
Lu Tian chuckled and asked, "I've bought it and let it go. I won't be able to afford it if I get it off the ground. I can't regret it."
Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand: "Stop talking nonsense, let's go"
Lu Tian pursed his lips proudly, raised his hand, and opened the dice cup.
"Yi two four, seven o'clock small."
Lu Tian laughed loudly and took the "large" piece of silver in his arms, looking at Ma Xiaoquan proudly.
"Ma Xiaoquan, your skills are not good, well, it's your turn."
After Lu Tian finished speaking, he handed the dice cup to Ma Xiaoquan.
Ma Xiaoquan took the dice cup and looked at the three dice placed in the dice cup, his expression became solemn.
These three dice are made of bones. Bone dice are among the most difficult to make among gambling tools because bones are not like other materials and have very small and fine holes on them.
