General, you should rest now; the lady is even more ruthless.

It was as if they already knew something.

"Sir, this is the biggest casino in the capital. How about we come here and have some fun?"

As they were talking, a servant led in a young man who looked like a gentleman, which attracted their attention.

Shen Luo raised an eyebrow, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

Sixteen is always arrogant, how come the two of them are acting together?

"What's the point of a casino? It's just about winning money. I have plenty of money, I don't care about these pittances." Jiang Qiqi turned to leave.

“Sir, this is different. You usually spend thousands of taels of silver with a wave of your hand, that’s just your generosity. There’s no shortage of generous people in the capital.” Sixteen, disguised as a servant, stopped her and coaxed her gently.

"What kind of people does the capital need?"

“Smart people are always a minority, no matter where they are.” Sixteen said with certainty.

"So coming to a casino makes me a smart man?" Jiang Qiqi waved her fan. "Don't try to fool me. I've heard that nine out of ten gamblers lose."

“That’s right.” Sixteen had a look on his face that said, “I knew this would happen.”

"Nine out of ten gamblers lose; the one who wins is the smart one!"

"Hiss..." Jiang Qiqi thought for a moment, resting her chin on her hand, "It seems to make sense."

Sixteen nodded: "Sir, you're a smart man, you'll definitely understand the ins and outs here. If we win tens of thousands of taels from him, we'll have enough money to go out and have some fun tomorrow."

"That makes sense! Let's go, lead the way!"

The group turned their attention back to another foolish young master who had been tricked.

Chen Chengwu continued relentlessly: "Your boss behind the scenes has quite the airs. He wouldn't even come out to greet me when I, the prince, arrived. I think he doesn't want to keep this casino open anymore."

"Your Highness, what you're saying is utterly unreasonable."

The shopkeeper knew perfectly well that he was facing a prince, yet he remained calm and composed, acting as if he were completely in the right.

“Our casino is a legitimate business, nothing shady. We will cooperate with you if you come here to investigate a case. However, since the owner is not in the capital, we are unable to welcome Your Highness who has suddenly arrived.”

"Hmph." Chen Chengwu snorted coldly; he didn't believe their nonsense.

"Second Brother has been investigating for so long, but hasn't found anything wrong." Chen Chengfeng was getting impatient.

"The casino's ledger clearly states that in the three months following Wang Liang's embezzlement of disaster relief grain, he frequently visited casinos and lost over 700,000 taels of silver."

Chen Chengwu felt extremely aggrieved.

He knew perfectly well that this was a scheme they had conspired to set up, but he simply had no evidence and no way to expose them.

Are we just going to give up like this?

He looked at Shen Luo beside him. The other man was sitting in a wheelchair as usual, his face calm, as if nothing could cause a ripple.

He clearly remembered that Shen Luo also wanted to convict Wang Liang, so why was he acting so calm?

Chen Chengwu was unwilling, but as Lao San said, he really had no choice.

Instead of wasting time here, we should try to sneak into the Ministry of Justice prison and get more information out of Wang Liang.

"Damn it," he cursed under his breath, then said dejectedly, "Forget it, let's go."

Chen Chengfeng certainly wouldn't stop him; he was overjoyed that the other party had returned empty-handed.

Just then, a cheer came from the side: "Sir, you are so clever! You have won over a thousand taels of silver in such a short time!"

The two people speaking were Jiang Qiqi and Sixteen, who had just come in disguise.

"Over a thousand taels?" The casino owner's temple throbbed; he had a bad feeling.

……

Chen Chengwu was about to leave.

Shen Luo, who was behind him, suddenly shouted, "I've always wanted to try my luck, so I'm leaving without telling you all."

"Welcome! Of course, we welcome the General Zhenguo to play!" the shopkeeper said happily.

From now on, he can spread the word that his casino is a place even the General of the Nation has gambled in, and there will definitely be even more people there!

"The General Who Protects the Nation is a gambler?" Chen Chengfeng asked in surprise.

"Luckily, it just looks interesting, so I wanted to give it a try." A very simple answer.

As they were talking, Shen Luo had already reached the gambling table, and Chen Chengwu and Chen Chengfeng followed him.

A group of people gathered around, right next to Jiang Qiqi and Shiliu who had just come in.

Shen Luo stared intently at the actions of the person next to her, seemingly learning very seriously.

Jiang Qiqi and the others were playing the simplest game, guessing the number of points on the dice in the dealer's hand.

"Sir, what should we bet on this time?"

Jiang Qiqi answered decisively, "Smaller."

Sixteen threw all the silver up, shouting, "We want a smaller one!"

Chen Chengwu, watching from behind, shook his head repeatedly.

This person has no idea how to gamble. A real gambler would never bet their entire fortune on one thing.

His idea was immediately proven wrong the moment it came to him.

"The dealer opens! One! Three! One! Five points in total, low!"

"Great, you beat me again! Congratulations!"

Under the watchful eyes of a crowd, the bag of silver in Jiang Qiqi's arms turned into two bags.

Over the next period of time, under the watchful eyes of four people, Jiang Qiqi brilliantly turned one thousand taels of silver into twenty thousand taels.

Just as everyone was starting to get used to it, Jiang Qiqi once again made a surprising statement.

"This time, bet on the leopard! (The leopard refers to three identical dots)."

Sixteen was equally stunned: "Are you sure?"

The probability of rolling a single number from three dice is not nonexistent, but it is extremely small.

"I'm sure!" Jiang Qiqi said confidently. "When have I ever missed out?"

Upon hearing this, Sixteen tried to think about it and realized he hadn't made a mistake.

Shen Luo and his group, who had watched her win all the way up, were now even more daring as she directly bet on the leopard. They couldn't even speak anymore, and held their breath, waiting for the dealer to announce the result.

The dealer glanced around, lingering for two seconds on the large pile of silver in front of Jiang Qiqi, then smiled:

"Everyone, stop betting!"

Quite a few people were betting around, after all, Jiang Qiqi's bag of silver was so big, everyone wanted to share it.

Now that they saw him betting all his money on the newspaper, most people wore confident smiles.

Casinos are never short of lucky young people, but in the end they all lose big time. Nobody thought Jiang Qiqi would be an exception.

The trader took out a bucket of dice, smiled, and his hands began to move faster.
