No skill can be mastered overnight, let alone Pai Gow and rolling dice. These two skills have been passed down in casinos for thousands of years. If it were so easy to pick up, it would never be possible for it to be popular for such a long time.
.
Jiang Yichen had no talent in martial arts, and he knew nothing about gambling. Therefore, Master Tinglan never thought of training him into a gambling master overnight from the beginning, but trained him in a targeted manner.
Mr. Tinglan only spent half a cup of tea to teach Jiang Yichen how to stack Pai Gow, and used more than ten easy-to-learn, quick-cutting tricks to defeat Jiang Yichen. As for how much Jiang Yichen could comprehend or memorize, she didn't care.
The rest of the time was spent teaching Jiang Yichen how to get full points, that is, three sixes.
And how to use slight changes so that the one or two dice that are shaken out are not six points, but four or five points.
Jiang Yichen did not win for a while, but it did not mean that he lost everything.
At least he got full points in nine consecutive hands and tied with Mr. Tinglan. It was not until the tenth hand that he made a mistake.
If you specialize in the technique of shaking the number of points, it will not be difficult to dominate the betting game where the number of points is increased by shaking the dice.
Of course, this alone cannot be called a gambling master, and Jiang Yichen does not need to be a gambling master, but it is enough for most people to mistake him for a gambling master.
Youying is not only a good gambler, but also has a lot of crooked ideas, and he is always interested in profit.
He always thought that he had great foresight, a wealthy man who was willing to make friends and was fond of gambling, and would not hesitate to exchange small profits for big money in the future. However, he never thought that this time his cleverness would be mistaken for him, and he would be exploited by Jiang Yichen, causing the boat to capsize and win the gamble.
, but lost his life.
As for the other four hall masters and Youying, they are gambling companions, but their skills and experience are not as good as those of the cunning Youying. Therefore, as long as they are in the casino, they always think that Youying is right and he is right.
After Youying won five hundred taels, they were already overjoyed. After that, when they won another thousand taels, they forgot about it and could not worry about anything else.
The moment the five people stepped onto the Weiji Tower, they had completely forgotten that the other five members of the same family had died after drinking more than ten days ago. When the wine was poured out and the glasses were exchanged, the previous warnings of the door master were naturally thrown away by them.
.
Therefore, in the end, they could only become inconspicuous and cold corpses lying in the rubble.
This place is a restricted area for most people in Jinzhou City, and few people set foot here. No matter how many corpses are hidden here, it will be difficult to find them.
Jiang Yichen's gambling skills, or the technique of shaking dice, are not very proficient. Everyone thinks he can see this, but he is slapped in the face by the results. But there are always real masters who can see the fishiness in it.
The lively scene at that time naturally attracted the attention of Zhao Taidou, the owner of the gambling house. He has been running the gambling house for many years and his eyesight is not bad. Although he could see the clues, he expected that Mr. Zhen might be interested in getting close to the Disha Mentou.
He never cared about it, not to mention that he would never meddle in other people's affairs at will. This is a businessman's own rules.
However, just because the big boss didn't care, it didn't mean that the little boss didn't care. The little boss, Zhao Xunle, had been watching with interest from the moment the two parties shook the dice. Naturally, he also saw that Mr. Zhen's method of shaking the dice was not only
It’s jerky, and it’s just full of flavour!
Snap, snap, snap!
The crisp applause was particularly loud in the silent night. A figure slowly walked out from behind the broken wall, "Master Zhen has a good ear."
Jiang Yichen already knew who was following him all the way. When he saw that person appear, he greeted him: "Young Master Zhao is always so radiant and eye-catching no matter when and where he is. However, Mr. Zhao is
Aren't you lost? It's okay to watch the fun in your own gambling house and enjoy the fun upstairs in Weiji. If you follow me to this quiet place, there will be no fun."
That figure was undoubtedly Zhao Xunle, the young boss of the Grand Casino, and the clothes he was wearing were the same as the ones he wore that day at Tinglan Xiaozhu. It was impossible to be ignored in the dark night, unless the person was blind.
Of course, Zhao Xunle never thought of covering up his whereabouts.
Zhao Xunle said: "I wonder if the play Mr. Zhen performs from morning to night can be called 'Invite the King into the Urn'?"
Jiang Yichen said: "Master Zhao, I am a little curious. I need to stop here. If I go any further, my life will be at risk."
Zhao Xunle said: "Master Zhen has not killed anyone yet, but it seems that someone has promised to save my life. Zhao wants to know, who is this benefactor?"
Jiang Yichen said: "No comment. I am also curious that Mr. Zhao is not a member of the world, so why is he always so concerned about the affairs of the world?"
Zhao Xunle said: "Well, if life is always full of flowers and willows, I can't be happy with my grudges and my interest will be dull. If my father hadn't allowed me to practice martial arts, I would have already devoted myself to the light of swords and shadows. Now, if I have one or two good opportunities, I can pry into the secrets of the world.
, always makes me unable to control this restless heart."
After Jiang Yichen heard this, he didn't know what to say. Is this really a boring life, looking for fun everywhere?
Seeing Jiang Yichen's silence, Zhao Xunle said again: "Mr. Zhen, do you know where this place is?"
Jiang Yichen said: "The restricted area of Jinzhou is full of deserted houses and empty streets."
Zhao Xunle said: "Does Mr. Zhen know why this place has become a restricted area?"
Jiang Yichen said: "I heard it is related to the Huo family."
Zhao Xunle said: "That's true. Master Zhen acts like this, isn't he afraid of disturbing the Huo family's spirit?"
Jiang Yichen said: "I wonder if Mr. Zhao can help me clear up my doubts?"
"Why are you confused?" Zhao Xunle was stunned for a moment, then he quickly realized and said, "Sure, but in exchange for your purpose."
Jiang Yichen really couldn't understand what Zhao Xunle wanted to do, so he asked, "Is Mr. Zhao just out of curiosity?"
Zhao Xunle affirmed: "That's all."
Jiang Yichen said: "Knowing this, I'm afraid I can't spare Young Master Zhao's life. For the sake of Young Master Zhao's life, I'd rather not talk about it. If there is any need in the future regarding the Huo family, I will definitely come to Young Master Zhao for advice."
After finishing speaking, Jiang Yichen disappeared from Zhao Xunle's eyes, and he said angrily: "Sneaky, if you don't tell me, aren't you afraid that I will tell what happened tonight?"
With a snap, the stone slab at Zhao Xunle's feet broke into two pieces.
Then Jiang Yichen's voice came, "I hope Mr. Zhao will respect himself."
＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊
Three days later, Zhike Zhai, underground secret room.
Unless something important happens, all the hall masters of Disha Sect will not gather here.
Since they are all gathered here, it is obvious that something big happened in Dishamen.
But to say that they are all together, it cannot be said that they are all together. After all, two groups of people are not in Jinzhou City, so they cannot be there. And among the people who are present, except for the sect master Shang Que, there are only six hall masters here, namely Disha
Luo Qi, one of the Six Tigers, is the Earth Star, Yue Heng is the Earth Star, Zheng Yi is the Earth Star, Yan Bingqiang is the Earth Power Star, Huang Qinglei is the Earth Zodiac Star, and Lao Li is the Earth Dog Star.
The six people separated in the hall, and two of the three chairs in the hall were empty. Only Shang Que sat in the middle with his eyes closed.
Shang Que asked: "How is the situation?"
Rocky said: "The fire burned them cleanly. From the ashes left, two scorched corpses could be seen, but their identities could no longer be identified."
Shang Que said: "Can you tell whether there was a fight in the house before the fire started?"
Rocky said: "Judging from the position of the ashes in the house after the fire, there should be no fighting."
Shang Que said: "Do you think it will be Qi Wanjun and Qiu Ye?"
Rocky said: "I'm not sure, but if you look at the killer's methods, I'm afraid he's already made a foolproof plan before taking action, which won't leave the two of them with the slightest chance to fight back."
Shang Que said: "So, Qiu and Qi must have lost their fighting power first, and then were trapped in the room and burned alive?"
There is something in Shang Que's words. Although Qi Wanjun is injured and has not yet recovered, he is still capable of fighting in critical moments. Plus, with the autumn night accompanying them, the two of them should not be easily restrained. If the enemy has poisoned them,
Or kill them with one sword, why go to the trouble of setting fire to them?
Luo Qi felt a chill in his heart and seemed to have grasped the key: "Fire is not used to kill people, it is used to conceal the truth. The two people burned to ashes in the house were not Qiu Ye and Qi Wanjun!"
Shang Que said: "When a killer kills someone, there is no need to conceal the identity of the deceased."
Seeing Luo Qi and Shang Que going back and forth, several people in the hall understood the general idea, and felt shocked and angry.
Zheng Yi interjected: "Could it be that Xiaoqiu and Xiaoqi betrayed the Disha Sect and helped the enemy to deal with us?"
Before anyone else could express their opinions, Shang Que said first: "Betrayal is out of the question, it's just knowing the truth but not reporting it."
"Huh, that's it, let them go." Shang Que sighed, and then said, "Do you know where the other bodies are?"
The corpses Shang Que asked about were naturally those of the twenty hall masters of the Disha Sect who had disappeared one after another in the past four days. Although their whereabouts had not yet been found out, Shang Que could basically conclude that these twenty people were gone.
The only clear clue about their lives is that after the five hall masters of Youying and "Master Zhen" left Weiji Tower four days ago, they disappeared the next day.
Rocky responded: "It hasn't been found out yet."
Shang Que opened his eyes and said calmly: "If the other party is only one person, then where in the city can the body be easily disposed of?"
"In the city?" After hesitating for a long time, Luo Qi said in surprise, "The place where 'Master Zhen' will stay is at Ye Lai Inn in the west of the city. If it's nearby... Huo Mansion! I'll go take a look."
Shang Que said: "No need. There is no one there at the moment. If you go, you will just lose your life in vain."
Rocky knelt down on one knee and said, "This subordinate is incompetent."
The remaining five people also wanted to kneel down when they saw this, but Shang Que stopped their movements with a cold snort, "Get up."
Rocky did not dare to disobey orders and stood up.
Shang Que closed his eyes again, as if opening his eyes was a very reluctant thing for him. Perhaps not being able to see the situation in front of him would make him calmer.
In silence, Shang Que slowly opened his mouth and said: "Ever since Liao Shan's unexpected death in the early morning five days ago, this 'Mr. Zhen' launched an operation against the Disha Sect.
Hu Sanchi probably took care of it that day.
As for Mo Wenliu, who went to attend the bet outside Xiao Yuan, he was looking for death.
Zou Geng, Wu Ming, and Ye Zong lost their lives in vain. It seems that this 'Mr. Zhen' took advantage of the situation and killed someone with a borrowed knife.
Four days ago, he lured five people from Youying into taking the bait at the Tai Dou Gambling House. After drinking five drunkards at Weiji Tower until they didn't know who they were, he took them to the west of the city and disposed of them. As a result, all six people disappeared the next day.
.
Next, the brothers went to investigate separately, but they were also killed one by one in secret.
As of today, except for the brothers brought out by the two deputy sect masters, there are only seven of us left in the Disha Sect's seventy-two stars."
