Chapter 14 Zhao Ran's Instant Riches
Zhao Ran stared at Jin Jiu and Zhang Ze carefully. The two picked up cards and made up cards. He didn't understand the rules of Pai Jiu, nor did he know how to make up cards for them, but he knew where the key was, so he focused his eyes firmly on the fingers of the two.
Suddenly, Zhao Ran's heart moved, and his eyes quickly stared at Jin Jiu's right hand that was drawing cards. At this moment, he felt that his gaze suddenly passed through the heads of the Taoist priests, and quickly pulled the distance between him and the other party to a very close place, as if Jin Jiu's thumb and index finger were right in front of his eyes, instantly enlarged, occupying the entire field of vision.
He saw Jin Jiu's two fingers gently pressing down on the edge of the wooden sign, and at the same time, he seemed to hear the "click" sound from the wooden sign.
There is! Zhao Ran was so excited that he was waiting for the result of the card in a nervous mood.
A burst of lamentation sounded, Guan Er tied Zhang Ze and lost to Jin Jiu. This was his first time losing the card!
Because there are so many silver bets on the bet on the stage that bets on the banker's side, Zhao Ran made a lot of money, and the dealer allocated the silver bets on the banker's side and distributed them to the winner according to the ratio. Zhao Ran earned five taels at a time.
This is the turning point in the gambling game tonight. From this game, Guan Er started to go downhill.
Because he could not predict which game Jin Jiu and Zhang Ze would win and which game would lose, Zhao Ran did not dare to bet at one time. He steadily bets in three games and one round, that is, he bets on five taels for the first time. If he wins, he will bets with all the principal and interests. If he wins again, he will bets all the time. Regardless of winning or losing in the third game, he will bets again from five taels in the next game.
This betting method was told by Jiao Tan. Jiao Tan said that this can ensure that he will not be blinded by victory at the gambling table. If he is lucky, he will have the ability to win a lot of money.
Zhao Ran thought this method was great, so he adopted it, but unlike Jiao Tan, he knew the general trend of gambling tonight, and if he bets on this, he could win steadily.
Gradually, there were more and more silver croakers in front of Zhao Ran. Although he lost, he won more times. His performance attracted the attention of several interested people, and they also began to bet with Zhao Ran. After Zhao Ran realized it, he deliberately lost two games, making others increasingly confused.
As time went by, the money Zhao Ran won was quite eye-catching, so he simply asked the dealer to exchange it for five or ten taels of silver notes, and he became much more low-key when betting.
By the time of the first moment of the Zi Shi, Zhao Ran had more than 1,200 taels of silver bills in his arms. After a little counting, even he was shocked, and at the same time, his hands and feet trembled with excitement.
With this wealth now, even if you don’t hang out in Wujiyuan, you will become a rich man immediately after leaving the mountain gate. According to the current land price, you will go back to Shiquan County, buy two hundred acres of good paddy fields, build a farm, and buy a few slaves, and you will be able to enjoy the rest of your life from now on!
Looking back at the three people in the game, Jin Jiu and Zhang Ze were sneering, while Guan Er was sweating profusely on his forehead.
Guan Er had lost all his gold, silver and silver notes. Zhao Ran didn't know how much, but after he made a brief calculation, he could know about it - this number was more than 3,000 taels!
It is true that the Weiyuan Escort Agency is an important cooperative industry in Long'an Mansion, so it is true that he has made a lot of money. It is said that the Kuyin that Long'an Mansion sent to the Ministry of Revenue was escorted by the Weiyuan Escort Agency for many years. Guan Er is the nephew of the Weiyuan Escort Agency, and he is also the next generation of the general escort. But the three thousand taels of silver is definitely not a small number. Even if the General Guan Er arrives in person and loses three thousand taels of silver overnight, he will definitely feel trembling, let alone Guan Er!
Guan Er held his hands on the gambling table, staring at Jin Jiu with red eyes - in the gambling game tonight, Jin Jiu won the most.
Jin Jiu sneered and asked Guan Er if he had any money. If not, he asked him to leave quickly. Jin Jiu said that he would continue playing cards with Zhang Ze and had no time to deal with Guan Er.
This sentence is definitely a complete humiliation. How can a martial arts practitioner like Guan Er be able to swallow this breath?
"Come, get the paper and pen!" Guan Er ordered. He took the apricot and yellow paper handed over by the dealer, picked up the pen and wrote it. After writing, he pressed his handprint.
"This is a farm in the east of Qingchuan County, with twenty-three houses, one tea mountain, and four hundred acres of paddy fields! Two years ago, the eunuch guarding the Xuanwei Office wanted to buy my farm, but he offered 5,000 taels, but Guan did not agree. Now it's worth 4,000 taels!" Guan Er's low voice sounded at the gambling table, and his ruthlessness made people shudder.
Zhang Ze snorted coldly from the side: "As far as I know, that tea mountain is not yours, right? Tea mountain is the property of the escort agency. How can you resist?"
Guan Er gritted his teeth and said, "Chashan is under Guan, so Guan has the right to deal with it!"
Zhang Ze said slowly: "Just, you speak lightly here. At that time, President Guan denied it. How could Brother Jin and I have the courage to come to reason?"
Guan Er's eyes were red, and his eyes were about to burst into flames: "Is Long'an Guan a person who speaks nonsense?"
Zhang Ze and Jin Jiu looked at each other, and Jin Jiu coughed: "This is the case, there is no limit to empty words. This tea mountain can be bet, but you have to mortgage the items."
"What do you want?"
Jin Jiu laughed, his expression becoming more and more obscene: "I heard that Brother Guan had already gotten married before he entered Wuji Courtyard. I also heard that the Guan wife was so beautiful that she was as beautiful as Long An..."
The blue veins on Guan Er's forehead swelled up, and he was about to split. He stared at Jin Jiu and shouted: "How dare you, rats!"
Jin Jiu said "cut" and said contemptuously: "A man should treat a woman as nothing. How can so many children have the love of her? Since Brother Guan doesn't want to, then forget it. Go back quickly. Don't delay Brother Zhang and I playing tricks!"
Guan Erben was already unable to stop. After taking this excitement, hesitated a little, and finally agreed.
"Okay! Brother Guan is worthy of being a good man. You can get 4,000 taels of silver by signing it! Should Brother Guan play slowly, or should we decide the outcome in one game?"
"One game is just one game, I'm afraid you won't succeed!" Guan Er nodded.
When Zhao Ran heard Guan Er's answer, he couldn't help but feel sad for him. In his opinion, this conversation was completely a designed trap. Zhao Ran had already seen it clearly before. Jin Jiu and Zhang Ze had already replaced two problematic cards into the sleeves, and this game of Guan Er would undoubtedly lose.
"In this game, Guan Er is the banker!" Guan Er gritted his back teeth and made a request. Whether to sit in the banker or not has nothing to do with winning or losing, but Guan Er is trying to compete for his luck in the banker.
Guan Er was definitely not lucky, but Zhao Ran was cheaper. He could bet heavily on the idle party without any scruples. Zhao Ran was not polite, he bet all 1,200 taels of silver, and the rest depends on how much he won.
This game is an absolute gamble, not only for Guan Er, but also for Zhao Ran, but also for the Taoist priests in the dining hall. Many of the people who lost tonight also bet on all the money they had on their bodies, hoping to turn the tables in one fell swoop. Among them were Jiao Tan and Zhou Huai, who bet the last thirty taels on their bodies, and Zhou Huai took fifty taels on the betting stage, but unfortunately, they were still bet on Guan Er.
Gambling will make people lose their minds. Many gamblers are like Jiao Tan and Zhou Huai. The more they lose, the more they don’t believe in evil, the more they lose cards continuously, the more they have to bet on the same side. They feel that even if they are based on opportunities, they will never lose any more, but in the end, the cards they are still the opposite of expectations.
What's more, this game itself is destined to be the result!
The result was not surprising. Zhao Ran's gambling capital doubled, and the total amount reached 2,500 taels. Guan Er's face was ashamed, with disbelief and extreme despair in his eyes. In the eyes of Zhao Ran, who knew everything, he couldn't help but feel pity, regret and worthless for him.
Guan Er staggered away from the dining hall, and then he was the one who lost all his money, such as Jiao Tan and Zhou Huai.
Jin Jiu and Zhang Ze continued the next bet, but everything else was just a game. Zhao Ran did not hesitate to win cards for a long time. The reason was very simple. Zhang Ze won less, so he could lose faster. However, there were fewer people who continued to bet, so Zhao Ran did not dare to bet again. Not long after, the game ended.
At this moment, there were more than 200 taels of silver flakes in front of Zhao Ran, and in his arms there were a total of 3,000 taels of silver notes!
