Chapter 468 Chang'an Gambling House
Wang Yang led Liang Yan and Ah Dai out of the "Youde Pawnshop" and soon walked onto a bustling street.
This street is called Chang'an Street, and it is the most popular place in Zhuque District. It is home to tourists, traders, fireworks, pubs and gambling houses, and all kinds of entertainment.
The country of Yue was prosperous and internally stable. King Wu did not impose a curfew, so Chang'an Street was very lively at night, even several times more noisy than during the day.
The three of them were walking through the crowds of Chang'an Street for about a while. Suddenly, Wang Yang stopped in front of a gambling house.
"This is it." Wang Yang turned around and whispered.
Liang Yan turned around and saw people coming and going at the entrance of the casino. Many officials and businessmen came in and out. There were also some gamblers who seemed to be from poor family backgrounds and wanted to make money in the casino. Pot of gold.
"Let's go." Liang Yan replied calmly.
Wang Yang responded and introduced Liang Yan and Dui into the gambling house. However, not long after they entered, a middle-aged man with a kind face came forward and stopped all three of them.
This man is about thirty years old, wearing a set of exquisite brocade robes, and has a kind face, which makes people feel particularly easy to get along with. But behind him were a few burly men, all with fierce eyes, looking at everyone one by one at the moment.
"You guys look very unfamiliar. Is this your first time back?" the middle-aged man said with a smile.
Liang Yan and Duan didn't say anything, but Wang Yang raised his fists and said, "I am the shopkeeper of Youde Pawnshop. I am here to discuss something important with your boss."
< br>"Hey, it turns out you are the shopkeeper of Youde Pawnshop, I am disrespectful! I am Fan Hai, who lives here and takes care of things." The middle-aged man cupped his hands and said: "But no matter who you are, you have come to our Chang'an Gambling House. ,since Of course, we must abide by the rules of our Chang'an Gambling House!"
Liang Yan narrowed his eyes and asked casually: "What are the rules?"
Fan Hai said with a smile: "Of course it's a gamble. It’s over! If you win the bet, I will naturally send a message inside. If you lose the bet, you can play freely in the casino, but don’t mention it anymore if you want to see our boss!”
"What kind of gambling method?" Liang Yan asked calmly.
Fan Hai smiled slightly and led the three of them to a separate gambling room. There was a gambling table made of pear wood and all the utensils were quite exquisite.
"The simplest way to play is to guess the size!" Fan Hai pointed to a gray-clothed guy in front of the table and said: "He will roll the dice later. You can guess the size. You only have one chance to guess it. Win!"
"Okay, shake it!" Liang Yan said with a smile.
After listening to the conversation between the two, the guy in gray also had a smile on his face, but this smile was somewhat malicious.
He picked up the dice cup, threw three dice in, and shook it in various fancy ways for a long time. Finally, bang! With a loud sound, he slammed it onto the table.
Liang Yan looked slightly attentive, then smiled and said: "Five, five, six, big!"
Fan Hai also listened attentively, but he immediately winked. The gray-clothed guy understood, nodded imperceptibly, and moved his right hand toward the bottom of the table without leaving a trace.
“Let’s go!” Fan Hai shouted.
"Wait a minute!" Liang Yan suddenly interrupted, and then a black figure flashed past, and the man in gray was heard screaming. His entire right arm was broken!
The person who did this cruel thing was Dui who had been following Liang Yan.
“Let’s go!” Liang Yan said again before anyone could react. Duan nodded, stretched out his hand and pressed it on the dice cup to secretly stimulate his inner strength, then took the dice cup away, revealing the three dice inside, which were "five, five, six", big!
“You are looking for death!”
The eyes of the several strong men behind Fan Hai were splitting. They rolled up their sleeves and were about to step forward, but were stopped by Fan Hai. He raised his hand to stop him.
"My friend, the most important rule at the gambling table is that this dice cup is always bought and sold, but there is no precedent for a gambler to open the cup himself, not to mention that you also injured one of our people!" Fan Hai's expression did not change. asked.
Liang Yan smiled slightly and winked at Ah-Dai. Ah-Dai immediately understood. He raised his hand and slashed a table with his sword, smashing a table into pieces.
Everyone turned around and looked around, only to see a machine under the gaming table, and at the end of the machine, there was a dark magnet inlaid.
"As far as I know, those who cheat in casinos will lose one of their arms at the very least. I guess Brother Fan won't mind if Tang will discipline your servants for you, right?" Liang Yan He said with a half-smile.
Fan Hai twitched the corner of his mouth. He was like a mirror in his own mind. These dice were embedded with iron filings so that the clerk could use the mechanism magnet under the table to control the points.
He had superb gambling skills, and he had just heard that the points in the dice cup were exactly the same as what Liang Yan said, so he gave instructions with his eyes and asked the guy in gray to use the mechanism under the table to change the result.
Unexpectedly, this young-looking rich man could actually see through the mystery inside. What made Fan Hai even more afraid was the skill of the black-clothed guard.
He is not the group of blind thugs behind him. He can open a huge gambling room on Chang'an Street in the capital. Fan Hai's eyesight is naturally extraordinary. Just now, Duan only showed his skills a little, and Fan Hai was already shocked. , secretly thinking:
“I’m afraid it’s All the people behind me can't do anything to the man in black in front of me."
Fan Hai pondered for a moment, and then said with a smile: "That's all, since Mr. Tang wants to see our boss. People, please come with me.”
After saying that, the man turned around and left the gambling room without looking back.
Seeing this man go out, Liang Yan narrowed his eyes and suddenly asked: "Shopkeeper Wang, isn't this Haisha Gang engaged in private salt business? Why is the main hall located in a gambling house?"< br>
Wang Yang said with a smile: "The envoy does not know that selling illegal salt is a serious crime, especially this We are still in the capital, and we are at the feet of the emperor. How dare we do so openly? He nodded, turned around and followed with Dumb.
Fan Hai led the way, and everyone passed through the gambling hall outside the gambling house and walked straight into a secret room in the backyard. Fan Hai gently turned an oil lamp in the secret room, and heard a rumbling sound, and a secret passage leading underground was revealed.
“Let’s go, the master is inside.”
Fan Hai glanced at a few people and walked into the secret passage first, while Liang Yan and the other three looked at each other. , also entered the secret passage one after another.
The secret passage is very spacious, with oil lamps lit on both sides. After a short tea break, the four of them saw a wide hall in front of them.
There is a square table in the hall, and there are more than ten men in green clothes with swords at their waists, arranged on both sides of the square table. Sitting in front of the table was a dark-skinned middle-aged man, flipping the pages on the table with one hand, as if he was consulting some file.
