Zhao Ji walked slowly on the streets of this town, and he found that there were always some people on the street, their gazes vaguely falling on him.
At first, Zhao Ji thought that these people recognized him and were not from this town, so they had been tracking him.
But Zhao Ji changed his mind and thought, if he really felt that he was a stranger and wanted to take a closer look, he wouldn't be so guilty and furtive as he is now. It doesn't seem like something a decent person would do at all.
So although Zhao Ji pretended nothing happened on the surface, he had already begun to gradually observe the movements of these people who were watching him.
At this time, Zhao Ji discovered that no matter where he went, these people would always pass by him inadvertently.
Or just follow behind you from a distance.
So after trying a few times, Zhao Ji was completely sure that he was being followed by these people.
As for the person behind the scenes, Zhao Ji also had some guesses.
Soon Zhao Ji arrived at the door of the gambling house that he had dug out from the boss's mouth.
Pushing open the door and walking in, this gambling house is quite lively. Whether it is shaking dice, comparing sizes, or other gambling methods, there is simply everything here.
You must know that according to the laws of the Celestial Empire, businesses like gambling are not allowed.
However, in this small town, these things are openly displayed.
This is enough to show how chaotic the management of this town is.
Zhao Ji couldn't care about anything else now. He first walked around the gambling tables.
Then I started observing the people in the casino.
In addition to the red-faced and nervous gamblers, there were naturally some characters who were strategizing and observing secretly who caught Zhao Ji's attention.
Zhao Ji calmly approached a person with a very calm face.
Coincidentally, the person Zhao Ji chose was none other than Butler Li.
Butler Li has actually been here for a long time. When there were no other big bosses from the mountain villages coming, Butler Li was just an ordinary gambling house owner.
"How do you run your biggest business?" Zhao Ji approached Butler Li and went straight to the point without saying a word.
Although Butler Li received orders from the Third Prince, he also received orders from the Prime Minister.
Now the orders given by these two people are different, so Butler Li is worried about this matter.
However, even though he was troubled by this matter, Butler Li always maintained a professional smile on his face.
Until Zhao Ji came over.
Butler Li is the shopkeeper who has been in this gambling house the longest. He said with a fake smile: "We are doing this business with a big enough plan. I just don't know if you can participate or not, and I don't know if you are qualified!"
Zhao Ji smiled when he heard this: "How can you determine that I am not qualified? Just tell me your conditions and let me see if I can meet them!"
Butler Li smiled slightly and said, "The most expensive game is also the most fun. The most fun game requires a deposit of about 200,000 taels of silver. I wonder if you can afford it?"
In fact, Steward Li and the others also knew that the disaster relief money on Zhao Ji had been robbed by the leader of the Black Wind Village, so Zhao Ji must be in a tight financial situation this time.
Shopkeeper Li did not want to argue with Zhao Ji about the amount he mentioned. In fact, he just wanted Zhao Ji to give up.
But he didn't expect Zhao Ji to take out a huge pure gold medal from his waist.
Zhao Ji pressed such a big badge directly onto the table.
Then he took out a jade pendant from his arms. This jade pendant was also covered with a dazzling emerald luster.
You can tell at first glance that these two things are not vulgar.
He never expected that for such a thing, Zhao Ji would actually take out the big gold medal and jade pendant.
"I don't know if this is enough, shopkeeper, what do you think?"
Although Zhao Ji took the things out, he still pretended to be clueless. In fact, he was just showing off on purpose.
Butler Li naturally knew this, so he just smiled and said, "You are really amazing. You actually have such a fortune. If you really want to play this game of 200,000 taels of silver, then I will accompany you!"
Zhao Ji raised his eyebrows slightly. He didn't expect that it was Butler Li who came up in person.
However, even if the God of Gamblers were alive, Zhao Ji would definitely play this game.
Zhao Ji stretched out his hand and pushed the jade token forward.
"Then I'd like to see the shopkeeper's skills!"
Butler Li took Zhao Ji to find an empty table, with dice and dominoes in his hands.
"I wonder what you want to play?"
Butler Li handed the initiative to Zhao Ji.
Zhao Ji smiled and said, "Why don't we just keep it simple and compare the size of the dice, two dice or six dice, whatever you want! I just want to try my luck!"
Steward Li smiled and said, "After all, it's a game of two hundred thousand taels of silver, and it's a game that will decide the winner. There's no point in comparing the size, why don't we just guess the size directly!"
"Whoever guesses a number closer to the number shaken wins!"
"Six dice in total!" Butler Li looked at Zhao Ji provocatively.
Zhao Ji laughed loudly, nodded, and casually played with his jade pendant and gold medal on the table.
"Well, if that's what you want to do, let's do it this way!"
"I claim that I don't care much about gambling. I came here today just to see it. I hope the shopkeeper won't let me down!"
"Who is rolling the dice?" Butler Li asked Zhao Ji.
Zhao Ji smiled and shook his head: "It doesn't matter, anyone can do it."
Butler Li reached out and called the people in the store: "In order to ensure fairness, I will not use the people in my gambling house. I will ask them to go out and spend money to hire someone."
Zhao Ji nodded and didn't take it to heart.
Soon a child was pulled in, and the child's mother followed behind.
"I heard that if you let the child shake it, you can give him a reward of three taels of silver, right?"
The woman said.
Butler Li nodded: "That's right, just let your child rock!"
The woman thought that she could earn three taels of silver by doing such a simple thing.
Without saying a word, he urged his child to shake the clock quickly.
The kid didn't have much strength, so he grabbed the cup-like object and started shaking it vigorously.
I saw that the child was using all his strength to shake the thing and it made a noise.
It probably took a long time for the child to put the things down.
Butler Li was already leisurely drinking his tea, and even politely served a cup to Zhao Ji as well.
Zhao Ji also tasted it carefully.
The taste of this tea is not top-notch, but it is fresh and has a mellow taste.
"I've finished shaking!" A child's baby voice was heard, sparks flashed in the eyes of the two men, and their eyes were immediately cast on each other.
