Making you a son-in-law is not about making you conquer the world.

"The Prince Consort truly has great courage!" Li Mingxuan, hidden in the crowd, gave Lin Ping a thumbs up.

Lin Ping was a complete spendthrift, and it was not uncommon for him to lose money at gambling dens.

The onlookers all admired Lin Ping's audacity; he dared to borrow money in the name of the City Lord's Mansion, which would likely get him beaten to death.

"Tch, with your paltry sum of money, it's probably not even enough for the city lord to shake off the lice," Jiang Yunyu said disdainfully, also hiding in the crowd.

"Hahaha..." The onlookers burst into laughter, taking it as an amusing little incident that had occurred inside the city lord's mansion.

Lin Ping scratched his head in perfect cooperation, even putting on a punished expression for Jiang Yunying. Then he became serious and loudly responded to everyone, "I, Lin Ping, will definitely repay the money with my own abilities, without taking a single tael of silver from the City Lord's Mansion!"

"Well said!" Led by Li Mingxuan, everyone applauded Lin Ping, admiring him as a true man.

"Husband..." Jiang Yunying murmured softly, not knowing how to thank him. In order to maintain the reputation of the City Lord's Mansion, Lin Ping did not hesitate to put such a huge burden on his head.

"That's not how it is..." Qian Duoduo wanted to argue loudly, but was drowned out by thunderous applause.

Qian Duoduo is nothing more than a cunning businessman, with less than one percent of Lin Ping's prestige. Even if he speaks with great conviction, no one will believe him.

Lin Ping stuffed a stack of silver notes into Qian Duoduo's mouth and said coldly, "This is 25,000 taels of silver. Boss Qian, count it."

Qian Duoduo had already heard Wan Yi's tearful account and knew that the gambling syndicate had spent 25,000 taels of silver to buy the jade from Lin Ping. He stuffed it directly into his pocket and said arrogantly, "What about the remaining 100,000 taels?"

The loss of tens of thousands of taels was indeed considerable, but not enough to warrant Jin Manlou's ruthless treatment. Qian Duoduo was certain that Lin Ping couldn't come up with the remaining 100,000 taels of silver.

Among the crowd were owners of other gambling dens. When they saw Lin Ping's sly look, they immediately ran back to close early, not daring to let him in to pick out a few coins.

"Since this money was lost at the Jinmanlou gambling den, it's only natural that I have to win it back!" Lin Ping's laughter grew even colder, and Qian Duoduo across from him couldn't help but shiver. He was really afraid that Lin Ping would win the gambling den clean.

"Don't panic, boss. I'm just afraid that Lin Ping might come in alive but not leave alive!" A short man next to Qian Duoduo said coldly in his ear.

This man, named Wang Laoqian, was a well-known gambling king in the entire Jiangcheng Prefecture and the manager of the Jinmanlou gambling den.

Qian Duoduo had no doubt about Wang Laoqian's skill; this guy could roll three dice and get a total of 33, making the entire gambling world of Jiangcheng tremble with fear. Even if Lin Ping had incredible luck, he couldn't possibly beat this man.

Therefore, Qian Duoduo immediately regained his confidence and replied, "This way, Your Highness!"

“Husband, this man is called Wang Laoqian, a notorious gambling king…” Jiang Yunying knew that Lin Ping was going to gamble, so she made sure to explain the man’s situation to avoid incurring more debts later.

"Don't worry, my wife, I will not only pay off the debt, but I will also make Qian Duoduo beg for mercy on his knees. Otherwise, Jinmanlou's gambling dens will be shut down!" Lin Ping patted his chest and assured Jiang Yunying, his eyes filled with a chilling aura, forgetting the principle of not mentioning brothels...

However, Lin Ping was quite interested in the name Wang Laoqian and hoped that he would live up to his name and not disappoint him.

Now that things had come to this, Jiang Yunying had no choice but to let Lin Ping lead her by the left hand and openly walk into the gambling den. She even regretted agreeing to let Lin Ping hold her left hand whenever he wanted; this guy was like a leech, wanting to stick to her all the time.

But there's no going back in life, so Jiang Yunying could only be led around the world by Lin Ping's left hand.

In order to completely defeat Lin Ping, Qian Duoduo took him to the largest gambling den under Jin Manlou's name, which had dozens of gambling tables and all sorts of strange and wonderful games.

At this moment, hundreds of gamblers are spending money like water with great enthusiasm, perfectly illustrating the meaning of a money pit.

You can never disturb a heart that wants to lose money. Even though Lin Ping has a dazzling protagonist's halo and Jiang Yunying and others have a great presence, they still can't make the gamblers turn around and look at them.

"Sigh..." Seeing this, Lin Ping shook his head helplessly and said, "Once you enter the gambling den, it's like falling into a deep sea; from then on, your parents are strangers!"

Jiang Yunying carefully considered Lin Ping's words. If it weren't for his grand entrance into gambling, he would have given the impression of reforming a wayward youth.

"What about people?"

Just as Jiang Yunying was beginning to look at Lin Ping in a new light, she suddenly felt something was missing from her left hand. Upon closer inspection, she saw that Lin Ping had already excitedly squeezed into the crowd, holding his only hundred taels of silver notes and starting to place bets.

Is gambling really more important than one's wife?

Jiang Yunying was speechless. She never expected that Lin Ping would actually let go of her left hand for the sake of gambling.

The answer was definitely yes. Lin Ping started placing bets without even turning his head, completely oblivious to Jiang Yunying's feelings.

Not only that, Jiang Yunyu and Li Mingxuan secretly followed behind Lin Ping, craning their necks to wait for him to place his bet.

The two even argued over whether to buy a larger or smaller car.

Lin Ping glanced at the two of them and said irritably, "No guts, this time it's definitely the leopard!"

A "leopard" is when all three dice roll the same number. The probability of this happening is very small, but if you guess it correctly, you can win three times your initial stake.

Even though Jiang Yunyu had never been to a gambling den, he knew the basic rules of dice gambling. There were roughly three ways to bet. The first was to bet on "big". As long as the sum of the three dice was between eleven and seventeen, he could win the same amount of money as his initial investment.

The second option is to bet on "small," where you can win the same amount of money as your initial investment as long as the sum of the three dice is between four and ten.

The third option is to bet on a "leopard" (three dice), where you can win three times your initial investment if all three dice show the same number.

Furthermore, when a leopard appears, betting on either big or small results in a loss.

Of course, different places have different rules, and the banker and the player can also make their own rules.

Lin Ping rushed over in a hurry because he had used his right eye to discover that there would be a leopard at this table, so he placed a bet without hesitation.

"big big big……"

"Little, little, little..."

Amidst a cacophony of noise, the dealer revealed three jade dice, all showing a single dot.

"Hahaha, I won!" Lin Ping took away three hundred taels of silver without any hesitation, which immediately attracted envious glances from the other gamblers.

Although these gamblers didn't know that the odds of getting a triple were only one in thirty-six, they knew they were extremely slim, and no one would dare to bet unless they were desperate to lose.

Who would have thought that Lin Ping would win three hundred taels of silver so easily.

Everyone was eager to see what he would do next, but Lin Ping simply turned around and left, then placed a bet on the leopard at the next table.

Lin Ping could only see the numbers inside the dice cup, but he couldn't control them. Waiting at one table for a leopard to appear was too time-consuming. Anyway, this gambling den was very large, with dozens of gambling tables, so there was bound to be a place where a leopard would appear.

This time, Lin Ping won 1,200 taels of silver, and Li Mingxuan and Jiang Yunyu's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

When Lin Ping bet on the leopard at the third table, the two men held their breath, their eyes fixed on the dice cup, their hearts pounding in their throats.

"A leopard! Another leopard!"

The two clapped their hands vigorously and jumped up and down excitedly. After three rounds, their 100 taels of silver had become 6,400 taels. If they continued to win like this, not to mention a mere 100,000 taels, even a million taels would not be a problem.

In an instant, the entire gambling den was in an uproar. Dozens of gamblers followed Lin Ping, betting on the leopard (three of a kind) without hesitation no matter which table he went to.

The masters responsible for shaking the dice at the gambling table were ashen-faced, and dared not even put down the dice cup. They kept shaking it, because if they did, the pack of wolves who had bet tens of thousands of taels on the leopard would have to pay out thirty thousand taels of silver.

Even with Jin Manlou's vast wealth and influence, he couldn't withstand such a loss.

Wang Laoqian panicked and hurriedly gave the dice-shaking masters meaningful glances.

Only after Wang Laoqian gave them a signal did these masters dare to place the dice cups on the table.

These masters have been working in gambling dens for many years, so they must have some skills.

Lin Ping, don't you like betting on leopards? I won't play leopards, let's see what you can do then.

After all the dice cups on dozens of gambling tables were placed, Lin Ping shook his head helplessly. Sure enough, there wasn't a single leopard among them.

Lin Ping remained calm and chose a nearby table, betting all six thousand taels of silver on small bets.

The gambling master at the table was originally arrogant and obviously very satisfied with his skills. But when Lin Ping bet all on small, his face turned green. He naturally knew the odds involved. Even though the odds were only one in a million, it was still more than six thousand taels of silver.

However, the matter was not over. Lin Ping glanced at the dozens of gamblers with suspicion and shouted, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and place your bets!"

Dozens of people then came to their senses and immediately emptied their clothes, betting everything they had left on small, adding up to more than five thousand taels.

"Everyone's waiting! Hurry up!"

Lin Ping, speaking with a thick Northeastern accent, addressed the dice-shaking master.

Under pressure from the crowd, the master had no choice but to use the Gu poison, and sure enough, a small number appeared.

"Haha! I won again!" Lin Ping's funds instantly expanded to more than 12,000 taels, and even the dozens of gamblers made a fortune.

The master at the gambling table couldn't withstand the immense pressure and foamed at the mouth, fainting from exhaustion.

"God of Gamblers! God of Gamblers!" Dozens of gamblers didn't care about Lin Ping's identity and shouted his new title.

Even more extreme, some people kneel on the ground, begging to become apprentices and learn skills.

"Are you a scholar who has passed the imperial examination?"

Lin Ping glanced at the other person and asked dismissively.

The other person shook his head, thinking to himself: Which ear of yours has ever heard of a gambler being able to pass the imperial examinations?

"Step aside, you don't have enough education! Master Ping only accepts apprentices who have passed the imperial examinations!"

Lin Ping answered directly.

The man knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times, solemnly saying, "This disciple will go home to study diligently and will definitely pass the imperial examination before coming back to become your apprentice!"

"Is this okay?"

Seeing the gambler turn over a new leaf, Lin Ping was somewhat incredulous. He never expected that his casual remark would actually bring back a wayward youth.

While Lin Ping was distracted, several masters secretly switched the dice, all revealing cunning eyes.

It was another round of gambling. Lin Ping specifically targeted the masters with unfriendly faces and bet 12,000 taels of silver on the small bet. Nearly a hundred gamblers swarmed over and followed suit, betting their life savings.

As the saying goes, seeing is believing, and Lin Ping didn't believe that the three dice inside the dice pot could change on their own. He patiently waited for the master to open the pot.

However, the moment the dice cup was opened, everyone was stunned, except for the dealer who revealed a sinister smile.

"Four, five, six, fifteen points! The banker wins everything!" The head chef said coldly, raising his eyebrows, while the shop assistant hurriedly took away tens of thousands of taels of silver.

In this round, the gambling den not only won back all its previous losses, but also emptied the pockets of all the gamblers.
