Chapter 137 I'll Bet with You]
Everyone in the room thought that he was attracted by Master Gu's farce. No one knew that his eyes were always fixed on Chen Fenghe who came in with Master Gu.
The owner of the gambling house was a gentle-looking scholar. He clasped his fists in a slight salute and said, "Master, I will go and deal with this man..."
This means that he wants to gamble with Master Gu.
They never asked where the gambling money came from, even if it wasn't from Master Gu. There was no reason not to slaughter the lambs that came to their door.
As for the Song family’s denial in the future, others might be afraid, but the gambling house is not.
Everyone knows that gambling houses only care about things, not people. Whoever gets the deed to the house or shop will own the shop or house.
Moreover, Young Master Song has so many secrets in the hands of their gambling house, so I don’t think he would dare to do so.
Even if they really relied on Shen Shian's power and dared to go against the gambling house, they would not be afraid. The gambling house, as a low-class place, originally belonged to the underworld.
Since ancient times, the imperial court and the underworld have tried their best to keep their distance from each other. But if the imperial court insists on causing trouble and provokes them, the underworld will not be afraid.
The man waved his hand slightly and said, "Wait a minute."
The gambling house owner was stunned for a moment, then said respectfully, "Yes."
Downstairs, Master Gu was getting anxious when he saw that no one dared to gamble with him! When the gambling addiction came, it was more painful than being bitten by ants all over the body.
He was furious: "If no one dares to gamble, forget it! I...I'll find another gambling house!"
But this gambling house was the wealthiest in Qizhou City. Other smaller gambling houses would probably kick him out or even arrest him if they saw the deed that originally belonged to the Song family...
Therefore, after Master Gu finished speaking, he did not leave, but still no one responded to him.
Upstairs, the gambling house owner couldn't help but ask again: "Master..."
It would be a pity if such a fat sheep ran away.
The man did not answer, but drank the wine in the glass slowly.
At this moment, a slightly crisp voice sounded, saying: "I'll bet with you."
The man's eyebrows raised involuntarily and he looked downstairs. Sure enough, it was Shen Fenghe, dressed as a bearded man, who pushed through the crowd and walked to the front of the gambling table.
After Chen Fenghe finished speaking, he took out a five-hundred-liang silver note from his pocket, slapped it on the table, and said with a smile: "I'll bet five hundred liang on this one with you, how about it?"
When the gamblers watching in the gambling house saw this, they couldn't help but widen their eyes.
Although this gambling house is the largest in Qizhou City and there are many gamblers who spend a lot of money, but the fact that the bet is five hundred taels and the person involved is a stranger still makes people excited!
When Master Gu heard this, his eyes widened. He hurriedly pressed the deed on his body to the place where the big words were written, and said, "I bet big! I'll leave it in my hands!"
Chen Fenghe knew that he was afraid that he would regret it, so he casually placed five hundred taels on the side with the word "small" and said with a smile: "Then I'll bet on small."
After placing his bet, Chen Fenghe asked the dealer, "May I roll the dice?"
The dealer looked up at the room and, after receiving approval, said, "Please come in."
Chen Fenghe took the bamboo tube containing the dice, shook it casually a few times, and then put it on the table.
The hearts of the onlookers dropped to their throats.
Chen Fenghe opened the bamboo tube without a care in the world, and saw two sixes and a five inside, which was definitely a "big"!
Master Gu was ecstatic. He had never won a single bet in the casino, losing everything, no matter how big or small. This sudden win of five hundred taels was something he hadn't seen in a long time!
"My luck has changed! My luck has changed! Give me five hundred taels!" Master Gu shouted.
The onlookers were also surprised, and some felt sorry for Chen Fenghe: "Alas, this guest must be gambling for the first time? His luck is too bad!"
"I lost five hundred taels in one go. If it were me, I would jump into the river..."
Chen Fenghe didn't care at all and said with a smile, "Sir, do you still want to gamble?"
When everyone heard this, they were all stunned?
You lost five hundred taels in one round, and you still want to gamble?
Master Gu was filled with joy and immediately said, "Let's bet! My luck has finally changed! How can I not bet!"
As he said this, he put the shop deed and the five hundred taels together on the "big" bill.
"I'd rather bet big!"
Chen Fenghe curved her lips and smiled, then casually took out a silver note worth one thousand taels of silver and placed it on the table.
The gamblers watching were no longer calm.
They had seen someone casually take out five hundred taels, but they had never seen anyone lose five hundred taels and then easily take out a thousand taels of silver!
Where did this sucker come from?
Master Gu was ecstatic. His luck had truly changed! Not only had he been given the deeds to his house and shop, but he had also been given a sucker-punished rival for free. What else could this be but a chance to turn his fortunes around?
Chen Fenghe glanced at him and asked, "Are you sure you want to leave?"
Master Gu said impatiently, "Stop talking nonsense! Roll the dice!"
Chen Fenghe smiled and suddenly shook the bamboo tube in her hand. The dice hit the bamboo tube with a "da da da da" sound, and then with a "bang!", it pressed onto the table.
"Open! Open!"
"Big! Big!"
"Small! Small!"
