The Journey of Immortality of the Peerless Medical Concubine
Chapter 170 Gambling 9 Scam
The source of the noisy sound naturally came from this attic.
Of course, this attic is not a brothel. If it were a brothel, it could have been opened in the city. After all, in the world of immortality, visiting brothels and drinking wine is not illegal. It just has a bad reputation.
Since it is not a brothel, then this attic must be a gambling house.
Of course, gambling houses are not illegal, and there are many gambling houses in the imperial city. Why are there gambling houses here? This puzzled Tang Tianyu and others.
"Hey, how about we go in and play a few rounds?"
Wen Liuli's eyes lit up when she saw the building. She had never been to a gambling house in her life. She had only been to a mahjong parlor at most.
But playing mahjong is not called gambling, it is called entertainment. Although it is not much different from gambling, it is still a small bet for fun.
"Isn't this... bad?"
Seeing this huge attic, Tang Tianmo couldn't help but twitch his lips.
In fact, he was also itching to go in and have some fun, but wasn't he still busy with work?
Besides, he was short of money and places like gambling houses were not places he could afford to go to.
"Haha, since we're here, why not go in and have some fun?"
Tang Tianyu didn't care much about this. His spiritual sense had already locked onto the merchant anyway, and he couldn't run away. The night was long, so if he didn't find some fun to kill time, would he just sit there and wait for dawn?
"That's right, let's go, hehe!"
Hearing Tang Tianyu's words, Wen Liuli nodded repeatedly. She had already thought about how she had made a lot of money when she came out of the gambling house.
Helplessly, Tang Tianmo had to accompany Wen Liuli and Tang Tianyu and walked in.
Of course, he was secretly making up his mind: I can go in, but it’s impossible for me to pay for the gamble!
Compared to outside, the casino was obviously much more lively. The arrival of the three people did not attract anyone's attention. Everyone's eyes were focused on the gambling table and they kept shouting.
Some are happy and some are sad. The winners will naturally laugh out loud, while the losers will be dejected.
As the three of them walked in, what caught their eyes was a huge table. The table was surrounded by people, and behind the table stood a tall woman who was holding a dice cup in her hand, shaking it in the air.
"Buy and leave!"
As the dice cup fell on the table, the woman placed one hand on the dice cup, looked at the people around her and smiled slightly, then slowly spoke.
Unlike the others, this woman's face was not covered at all. It was an extremely delicate face, and she looked to be in her twenties. Every movement of her body revealed her ultimate charm, making everyone around her drool.
This woman is the best!
"I'm going big!"
"I bet on the smaller one!"
"I bet big too!"
"Big! Big! Big! Big! Big! Big!"
As everyone continued to put the silver in their pockets on the table, the woman smiled slightly, and slowly opened the dice cup amid the shouts of the crowd.
"One, two, four! Little!"
"Oops~"
"Damn it, why am I so unlucky today!"
"Fuck! I lost again."
"Hahahaha, I won!"
The rules of the game at the gambling table are very simple, it is just a matter of guessing the size. There are three dice in the dice cup. If the total sum is less than nine, it is small, otherwise it is big.
The woman was the banker, and the odds were one to one, that is, if you bet ten taels of silver, you would get twenty taels if you won, but if you lost you would lose everything.
"Wow! This is simple and exciting, Walter! Pay up!"
Seeing the excitement and frustration of the gamblers around him, Wen Liuli's eyes lit up and she hurriedly grabbed Tang Tianyu's sleeve and shook it.
"Uh... nine out of ten gambling games are scams!"
"I know, stop talking nonsense and pay quickly!"
"All right……"
Seeing Wen Liuli's excitement, Tang Tianyu didn't want to spoil her fun, so he took out a large ingot of silver from his pocket and handed it to Wen Liuli.
In fact, he noticed it when he just came in. There was something strange about the woman shaking the dice cup. It seemed that she put the dice cup down after shaking it, but in fact, she did some tricks after the gamblers placed their bets.
And these tricks obviously could not be hidden from the eyes of Grand Master Tang Tianyu. Although the woman did it extremely secretly, Tang Tianyu still saw it.
There must be something wrong with the dice in the cup. In fact, no matter how the woman shakes it, the result will be the same, because the size is ultimately controlled by the woman herself.
It was because when he looked inside through the surface of the dice, with Tang Tianyu's cultivation level, it was not difficult to see the hidden mystery in it, which was the so-called cheating. No matter how the woman shook it, it would eventually fall on the same spot because of the lead in the dice.
Then the woman will decide whether the final result will be big or small by observing how much others have bet.
Anyway, no matter what, the dealer will not lose.
If you bet more on big, I will give you a small one! If you bet more on small, I will give you a big one. In short, use the winnings to compensate for the losses, and the remaining money is eaten by the dealer himself.
I have to say, this gambling house is really profitable. You can win a lot of money just by shaking the dice twice. There are so many gamblers here, and the profit is at least a thousand taels a night.
Just as Tang Tianyu was smiling bitterly, Wen Liuli had already walked to the gambling table with a large amount of silver. Looking at the bets on the table, he put the silver on the side with less money without hesitation.
Seeing this scene, Tang Tianyu couldn't help but be stunned. What was going on? Could it be that she also saw the clues?
This is impossible. With Wen Liuli's level of cultivation, she shouldn't be able to see through the dice cup even after taking two magical medicines.
She is not a professional gambler, and it is impossible for her to tell the number by listening to the sound. So how did she know?
On the other hand, after Wen Liuli put the silver given by Tang Tianyu on the smaller side, his eyes were fixed on the dice cup.
It's not as complicated as Tang Tianyu thought. She just watched too many TV dramas. She has seen this old routine more often than the woman shaking the dice cup. Even though she can't do it, wouldn't it be good to know the secret?
Besides, even if I lose, it’s just ten taels of silver, so it won’t hurt too much.
But it would be interesting if you win, the feeling of getting something for nothing would make you feel particularly comfortable.
Wen Liuli was not attracted by the ten taels of silver; he just enjoyed the process.
Seeing Wen Liuli coming over, the woman shaking the dice cup couldn't help but look at her twice. Although her face was covered, she could still tell that Wen Liuli's appearance was definitely that of a disaster.
It was because under that half-covered face, there was a temperament that ordinary people did not have. This was a temperament that only those in a high position had, which meant that Wen Liuli was either rich or noble.
If this happened somewhere else, perhaps people wouldn't care so much, but this is Jiasong, the ghost market, and almost all the people who can come here are people from the underworld.
How could the people in the underworld be high-ranking officials? They were just bandits.
Wen Liuli naturally didn't know that he had attracted other people's attention. His eyes were still staring at the dice cup, as if he wanted to see through him.
After a moment, the dealer woman came to her senses and her expression returned to her usual calmness. She looked at the gamblers around her and slowly opened the dice cup.
"One, one, three! Five o'clock!"
"Yes!"
Seeing Kai's smile, Wen Liuli clenched his fists and felt excited.
After receiving the twenty taels of silver paid by the dealer, Wen Liuli weighed it in his hand. In less than two minutes, one ingot of silver became two ingots. Anyone would be excited for a while.
This scene made Tang Tianmo's eyes go straight. Damn, is it so easy to win money? You know, I bet with her.
I have ten taels of silver in my pocket. If this becomes twenty taels, I will have enough money to feed the family this month.
Of course, there is no such thing as regret medicine in the world. Now Tang Tianmo can only look at Wen Liuli's money with envy for a while.
"Ten taels! No, I just want one tael! Please, give me another tael, I will pay you back as soon as I get my money back!"
Just as everyone was excited, they suddenly heard a pleading voice in their ears, and this voice quickly attracted the attention of several people. Even Wen Liuli stopped talking and turned to look in the direction where the voice came from.
I saw a thin-faced man kneeling in front of several people dressed in green clothes, looking at them with pleading eyes, his eyes full of unwillingness.
The thin-faced man had sunken eye sockets and dark circles under his eyes, as if he hadn't slept for several days.
Putting aside his haggard face, the man looked to be in his thirties or forties, carrying a cylindrical object on his back that looked somewhat like a weapon.
His clothes were relatively simple, just a slightly thick cotton-padded jacket. Through the jacket, everyone seemed to be able to see his body that was so thin that only skin and bones were left.
"Haha, Wu Yong! Have you forgotten that you just borrowed a hundred taels of silver? Now not only have you lost everything, but you still have the nerve to ask for money?"
There was no mercy in the eyes of the green hands for the thin man's plea. They looked at him coldly, and one of them said slowly.
"I'll give you three choices! One is to pay back the money, two is to use your gun to pay off the debt, and three is to leave your arm here! You choose!"
Hearing this, Wu Yong's face suddenly showed horror, and he glared at the person who spoke fiercely. After all, this group of people was actually planning to steal his gun.
Tang Tianyu and others on the side were stunned when they heard this, and then they all turned their eyes to the cylinder behind Wu Yong.
The length of the cylinder is obviously not as long as the gun, but since that person said so, there must be a gun inside.
Moreover, this gun is somewhat special, otherwise why would it be worth a hundred taels of silver?
In this case, there is only one explanation, that the gun in the cylinder can be retracted into two or three sections, otherwise it is impossible to put it into the cylinder.
