Ye Chengzhong thought for a while and said: "Sir, I once said that I have an older brother. After talking about the factory with Mrs. Gu Lina's housekeeper Blair today, there was a fourth master who claimed to be the same (tong). The owner of the casino came to Blair and said that one of Blair's employees lost a thousand taels of silver in the casino and wanted Blair to use the money to redeem him. This person is my unsatisfactory eldest brother Ye Chengde. Now the eldest brother is imprisoned in the Italian Casino. I beg you, Marshal, to save him."
Li Zhen said: "You want to borrow a thousand taels of silver just to redeem Ye Chengde?"
When Ye Chengzhong heard this, his eye circles gradually turned red, and he kept nodding his head and said: "My brother was caught by Fourth Master Tong, and he has a deadline of one thousand taels of silver today. If he passes today, one of his fingers will be cut off." .My savings are only a few dozen taels of silver. I really can’t raise such a sum, so I can only borrow money from adults.”
Li Zhen asked jokingly: "A casino owner is giving you a hard time. Didn't you tell him that you are from Daotai Mansion?"
Ye Chengzhong shook his head and said: "No!"
There was no joy or anger on Li Zhen's face, but he recognized Ye Chengzhong in his heart. Just because Ye Chengzhong did not do things in his name, this was worthy of recognition. Li Zhen changed his mind and said : "Ye Chengde is just a small clerk. Even if he has a little money, it is impossible to lose a thousand taels of silver. Tongsi must have deliberately tricked him in this matter."
Ye Chengzhong said with deep approval: "Your Excellency is wise!"
However, Li Zhen remained silent again.
Ye Chengzhong couldn't figure out what Li Zhen was thinking, so he could only look at Li Zhen eagerly.
Even if Li Zhen doesn't help, it's still good to borrow a thousand taels of silver.
After a long silence, Li Zhencai said: "Since Tong Si likes to play with people, we will treat him in his own way. If we also play with this Tong Si Master, it will not be logical to rescue Ye Chengde."
Ye Cheng was overjoyed and asked, "What are you going to do, sir?"
Li Zhen rolled up his sleeves and said, "Of course I will do it myself, but I still have to make some preparations."
Ye Cheng said sincerely: "Please give me your instructions!"
Li Zhen made a move, and when Ye Chengzhong came closer and whispered some instructions, Ye Chengzhong turned and left. Li Zhen also left the study and walked to the backyard, changing into a high-quality satin robe. On weekdays, Here, Li Zhen wears mostly simple and light clothes, and he doesn't like to dress in robes and mandarin jackets.
This time he was going to the Dali Casino. Li Zhen couldn't dress shabbily, otherwise the effect would not be achieved. When Li Zhen walked to the lobby, Ye Chengzhong also came and said, "Sir, you are all ready. "
Li Zhen said: "By the way, after going to the Dali Casino, don't call me sir, call me boss, do you understand?"
"clear!"
Ye Chengzhong smiled and walked briskly when following Li Zhen.
After the two of them left Daotai Mansion, they took a carriage toward the east of the city and arrived at the Dali Casino.
At the entrance of the casino, countless people came in and out, coming and going. The faces of those who entered had a look of hope, and there was still vague excitement in their eyes. They all wanted to make a big profit in the casino. However, when they walked out, Ninety-nine percent of the people there had a grimace on their faces, as if they were dead parents. Only one or two people could leave with a smile on their faces.
"Let's go and make a fortune too!"
Li Zhen waved his sleeves and strode towards the casino.
Ye Chengzhong followed closely behind, but still felt a little nervous in his heart.
"Big, big,..., small, small..."
"I'm trying to kill the small one. This time it must be the small one. Damn it, I've already fired ten big ones in a row. If this one wasn't the small one, I'll kill myself with a piece of tofu."
…
Inside the casino, it was crowded and noisy.
Li Zhen took Ye Chengzhong into the casino, and people of all kinds could be seen gambling everywhere. Some people were shirtless and sweating, gambling on Pai Gow, and some were crying and praying. The size of the dice was messy. Li Zhen came to the dice-throwing room.
When I came to the place, I saw that the person sitting in the dealer was already shaking the dice cup and shouting: "It's done, hurry up and place your bets. If you buy big, go big, if you buy small, go small. If you buy small, go away!"
"One thousand taels, buy a small one!"
Li Zhen shouted suddenly, and Ye Chengzhong immediately took out a pile of banknotes from his arms and dropped a thousand taels on the table.
At this moment, all the gamblers around stopped and looked at Li Zhen.
Li Zhen's expression was as usual, he brought a stool over, Jin Daodaanda sat down, then looked at the banker who was also stunned, and said lightly: "The bet has been placed, let's start."
"Okay! Is there anything else you want to buy?? Is there anything else you want to buy? Buy big and open big, buy small and open small, open~~!"
The stunned people around him also reacted and quickly followed suit.
After confirming that everyone had placed their bets, the dealer slowly opened the dice cup. In an instant, the numbers of one, two, and three appeared in the dice cup, which were obviously small. The dealer looked annoyed and seemed very sad.
, but he said with a smile: "Master, you are so lucky, you won a thousand taels as soon as you came here!"
Li Zhen sneered in his heart, the bullshit good luck was clearly the dealer's intention.
The reason was naturally that the banker saw the stack of banknotes in Ye Chengzhong's hand and planned to take a long-term approach to fishing for big fish, so he gave Li Zhen a little sweetener. Li Zhen had long been used to this old-fashioned method.
However, Li Zhen did not want to expose this old trick.
Not only that, Li Zhen took all the banknotes from Ye Chengzhong and slapped them on the desk.
The amount of each banknote is one thousand taels, and a pile of banknotes can be dozens of coins at least. This number simply makes the banker jealous. Not only that, everyone around him secretly swallowed his saliva.
, wondering where this rich young man came from? Li Zhen glanced at the banker, grabbed the banknote, shook it, and said: "It's not enough to make a small fuss, so I'll find your boss."
"okay!"
With a wave of his hand, the banker called a handyman and gave a few instructions in a low voice.
After the handyman left, the banker looked at Li Zhen again and said with a smile: "Sir, you came here just for fun. It must make you happy." When the banker spoke, his eyes did not leave Li Zhen's hand.
The banknotes even showed greedy eyes, wanting to immediately take the banknotes in Li Zhen's hand as his own before he would give up.
Ye Chengzhong stood aside, feeling suddenly worried.
Can you win this time?
Ye Chengzhong didn't have much contact with Li Zhen and didn't know Li Zhen well.
Not long after, the owner of Dili Casino came out with the fourth master. After he saw Ye Chengzhong, his eyes fell on Li Zhen again. When he saw Li Zhen's clothes, he obviously looked like a young man. Ye Chengzhong was also
Standing beside Li Zhen politely, he had already vaguely guessed that Li Zhen was Ye Chengzhong's employer.
Fourth Master Tong stared at Ye Chengzhong and asked with a smile: "Ye Chengzhong, are you ready with one thousand taels of silver?"
Li Zhen answered and said: "Isn't it just one thousand taels of silver? What a joke!"
After saying that, Li Zhen threw the thousand taels of silver notes he had just won over and said, "Let him go, and I'll bet with you." Fourth Master Tong's eyes were very bright, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he simply He said: "Come here, let Ye Chengde go. This young man and I will bet a few times to see who has better luck."
After the words fell, two burly men escorted Ye Chengde out.
