Chapter 49: Good luck in gambling, greedy desire

Zhao Qiang led Monkey into the Jinyufang with familiarity. Even though he was a little unsteady after drinking, he was very familiar with this place and could find it with his eyes closed.

The lights in the casino were already on. As soon as Zhao Qiang came in, he shouted to Lao Yu who was standing next to the gambling table: "I am Monkey's friend, let me play a few games."

"Coach Zhao is Monkey's friend? Come in!" Lao Yu said with a smile, making a "please" gesture with his hand.

When Zhao Qiang walked to the gambling table, Lao Yu said, "Our Sixth Master has stipulated that the first five rounds of gambling for friends should be treated as hospitality. If you win, it's your own. If you lose, you only have to pay your principal. The rest will be the dealer's. I wonder which one you want to play?"

"Dice! See who has the bigger one!" Zhao Qiang answered without hesitation.

Usually, Zhao Qiang didn't have much money, so he could only play low-odds betting, just to play more rounds. Now that there is a dealer to back him up, and he can make a steady profit, he naturally wants to play something bigger and more exciting.

"Okay!" Lao Yu responded without hesitation, and immediately asked someone to bring the dice cup and invited Zhao Qiang to play at another empty gambling table.

What people in the casino love to watch most is the dice game, back and forth, tit-for-tat, the process is full of ups and downs, and the ending is often unexpected, which can arouse the violent factors in the blood of gamblers to the maximum at any time.

Because he does not have to bear the consequences of losing, Zhao Qiang is very leisurely. He bets the half tael of silver that Monkey gave him just now, and shakes the dice cup without waiting for Lao Yu to say anything.

Lao Yu sees Zhao Qiang's action and shakes it himself. The two of them open the lid almost at the same time. On one side it was "one, one, three", on the other side it was "three, three, four", Zhao Qiang clapped his hands happily and shouted: "I won! Come again! The winnings will be recorded in the account first, and I will use this half tael of silver to play."

Zhao Qiang still had some thoughts. He was lucky this time and won two and a half taels of silver with a five-fold odds. If he bet all in, he might lose everything in the next round. Keep the two taels of silver, it will be enough for playing for a long time in the future.

In the second round, Lao Yu shook out "one, two, two", and Zhao Qiang shook out "four, four, six", and another two taels of silver were credited to the account.

"Come again!" Zhao Qiang said excitedly.

In the third round, Lao Yu counted "two, three, three" and Zhao Qiang counted "three, four, six", winning another round.

"Oh! What good luck!" The people watching the excitement began to shout.

"Just like the girl a few days ago, she won three rounds in a row..."

"It's a pity that he bet too little. If he had bet all the money he won before, wouldn't he have won a few dozen taels?"

Zhao Qiang was very tempted when he heard people talking. He already had six taels of silver in his hand. He hadn't touched so much money for a long time. He wanted to bet all the money in the next round, but he was afraid that he would get nothing. After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Qiang chose a compromise and bet two taels of silver.

"Open!"

The dice cup was opened, Zhao Qiang was expectant and nervous. If he could win again, it would mean that he was lucky today, so he would continue to gamble. If he lost, he would give up and leave.

In the end, Zhao Qiang won again. When the ten taels of silver were handed to him, he was still stunned and couldn't believe it.

"Oh! Coach Zhao's gambling skills are really superb. I admire you!" Lao Yu stroked his beard and said pretentiously. No one saw the dark look in his eyes.

Won again? He won again?

Zhao Qiang's heart was beating so fast as he touched the silver. His face turned red and he stammered, "Again, again! Again!" With

sixteen taels of silver in his hand, Zhao Qiang was extremely anxious and wanted to bet all of it to win big. But in the end, he still kept some reason and only bet ten taels of silver. He

won again!

When he heard the shouts from the people around him, Zhao Qiang was so excited that his hands were shaking and his eyes were red from the excitement.

He actually won fifty taels of silver in one go! Fifty taels of silver!

"I didn't expect that Coach Zhao is actually a master who has hidden his skills!" Lao Yu said with emotion: "Before, when you came to my Jinyufang, you just took a few coins to play big or small. Why bother? If you had shown this skill earlier, wouldn't you have been famous?"

"I told you to bet it all, but you insisted on keeping some. You lost dozens of taels of silver in vain!" Someone in the crowd shouted at Zhao Qiang with a look of grief, as if it was his money that was lost.

Zhao Qiang's breathing became rapid. The effect of alcohol made his brain less clear. Now he won five games in a row, and he felt even more dizzy. He felt like he was walking on cotton and couldn't feel anything.

"Hualala~"

Everyone saw a pile of silver with a cold glow being pushed onto the table. Zhao Qiang panted and shouted, "More!" Lao

Yu, who was sitting opposite the gambling table, glanced at the pile of silver indifferently, then raised his eyes and looked directly at Zhao Qiang and said, "Coach Zhao, you have to bear the consequences of winning or losing this round."

"If you want to bear the consequences, then bear them yourself! I can afford it!" Zhao Qiang didn't hesitate at all.

"Hahaha... Good! Good! Good!" Lao Yu laughed like an old fox, with a little pity in his eyes, but Zhao Qiang knew nothing about it.

Monkey at the back of the crowd looked at this man who had lost himself in gambling, and slowly raised the corners of his lips, with a pair of sinister triangular eyes full of mockery.

This is what my uncle called "greed", and it can really kill people.

Thinking of this, Monkey couldn't help but look upstairs. Hu Laoliu was holding a cup of tea, leaning against the railing, his eyes fixed on Zhao Qiang who was sitting next to the gambling table.

"Thump, thump, thump~" Zhao Qiang was already shaking the dice cup, and this time was different from before. He was particularly focused and shook it with extra force. Lao Yu waited calmly for him to put down the dice cup, then picked up his own dice cup and shook it twice casually.

"Coach Zhao, you go first!" Lao Yu said.

Without him saying anything, Zhao Qiang had already touched the lid of the dice cup and was about to open it when Lao Yu spoke slowly: "Coach Zhao, think carefully, you will bear the consequences of this game!"

"Stop talking too much! Aren't you just afraid that if I win too much, your casino will lose money? Hahaha... I didn't expect that such a big company like Jin Yufang would be so stingy. You still want to scare me? Don't worry, so many people are watching here. I, Zhao Qiang, can afford to win or lose!"

"Good!"

"Coach Zhao is so courageous!"

"Well said, Coach Zhao! Well said!"

The crowd applauded and looked at Zhao Qiang with admiration in their eyes.

These words were spoken loudly, and Zhao Qiang felt very proud after he finished speaking, as if he had really become the gambler that everyone was looking at, looking down on the world and not taking anyone seriously.

"Ha!" Lao Yu sneered and held out his hand to signal Zhao Qiang to go ahead.

Everyone craned their necks to stare at the dice cup, expecting to see some number. Only Lao Yu looked calm, standing still with his arms folded, looking confident of what he had done.
