Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 12 Shining Gold

Anton is still thinking about what Roque said, but Luo Yi has already gained something.

Although the rules for guessing Odds and Evens are simple, don’t ignore the temptation of this kind of gambling. In the 21st century when the information is exploding, people have experienced multiple reminders of various information, and some people will be deceived. In the [-]th century, there is almost no solution. .

As more people watched, more people participated. After two or three rounds, Li De and the others no longer needed to place bets to set off the atmosphere. The enthusiasm of the bystanders was high, and Li De began to feel fear because of the heated scene.

"Master Luo, it's time to stop. We've already won more than 50 pounds. If we continue, we're afraid something will happen." The money came so easily that Li De was a little terrified.

"Five, fifty pounds!" Anton was dumbfounded. He couldn't figure out why these white people were so easily deceived.

From this point of view, white people are not very smart, at least not as smart as Chinese people. If Luo Yi set up such a situation in the Qing Dynasty, he would be laughed at as a fool in minutes.

Of course, there are far more fools in this world than Anton imagined. Rock also underestimated the power of this simple deception in this era. In just a short while, he made more than 50 pounds, which is equivalent to more than 200 taels of silver. It is equivalent to Rock's salary of more than four years. In the Qing Dynasty, he can buy six wives. Even if Rock and his dozen people share equally, each of them can get five or six pounds. Half a year's salary is so easy. in hand.

"Wait a minute, this kind of business is a one-shot deal. It will take ten days and half a month to rest after this time. Fifty pounds is too little, so we need to earn more." Rock will not think too much money, five Ten pounds was a lot for Anton and the others, but it was far from enough for Rock.

Compared with regular casinos, this kind of deception is too simple to implement. Those who have lost money will find something wrong when they think about it later. There are other ways to find a stable way to get money.

Of course, it's not easy for people to calm down in the game. Now those gamblers around Luo Yi are jealous, even if Luo Yi wants to stop, those gamblers will not let Luo Yi leave.

Then continue, and after another ten minutes, the gamble was finally unsustainable, as Roque expected, a sailor who lost his eyes suddenly grabbed a handful of money in front of Luo Yi and wanted to run away.

How could they run away? The sailor who robbed the money was immediately brought down by Li De and the others, and then the police who were waiting in full force rushed over blowing their whistles, and the gamblers who were watching immediately dispersed.

A total of 150 pounds is indeed a huge harvest. In addition to a pile of glittering coins and a few one-pound banknotes, there is also a gold pocket watch. Except for Rock, everyone else's breathing is a bit short of breath, even if a dozen people share it. , each person can also get more than a dozen pounds, and more than one year's income is easily obtained.

"Master Luo came up with this way of making money. As usual, Master Luo will take [-]% first, and Luo will get [-]% as soon as he shows up. Let's divide the rest. Do you think this is okay?" Rock was inconvenient to speak, so Anton simply split the words. As for the money, Roque, as the mastermind, should take the bulk of it.

"Should be, if it wasn't for Lord Luo, we wouldn't dare to take foreigners at all."

"Master Luo is supposed to take the lead. If Master Luo didn't make up his mind, we wouldn't be able to get rich anyway."

"If people don't come, they won't get rich if they don't come, and if a horse doesn't eat night grass, it won't be fat. There is still truth in the old saying."

Everyone responded one after another, and the atmosphere was unexpectedly good.

Contrary to Rock's expectations, although Rock didn't show up from the beginning to the end except for an idea, no one felt that Rock took too much.

Rock really loves the hierarchical society. In this society, it is a universal value that superiors get rich and subordinates drink soup. Rock is not an official yet. If Rock becomes an official, even if it has nothing to do with Rock , and Roque is indispensable.

"If you earn money, save it well. If you have a wife and children, you need to support your family. If you don't have a family, you need to save your wife's capital. Don't waste money. Brothers also saw it today. If you want to make a fortune, go to the foreign devils. Don't worry about your brothers. For those hard-earned money in your pocket, let’s establish a rule here. Brothers, in the future, strictly gamble, and if someone sets up a game, don’t blame the brothers for not being sympathetic.” Rock took the opportunity to establish a rule. Tell Luo about it.

"Lord Luo, don't worry, you can earn money from foreign devils. Whoever cheats the brothers will have a son without a penis." If you can't earn three or five pennies, how can you cheat foreign devils?

"Then let's go, brothers, calm down these few days, let's see the limelight in a few days, let's go for another vote, everyone should keep their mouths tight, and this matter must not be exposed, otherwise we will not be able to please everyone. "Rock started to chase people away, and he had to go to work tomorrow, so he couldn't make a fuss too late.

"Understood, Lord Luo."

"Whoever dares to spread it to the outside world will throw him into the sea and soak him in a pig cage!"

Everyone bid farewell one after another, and went back to rest laughing and laughing. It is estimated that they can have a good dream tonight.

After the venue was cleared, Rock began to take stock of his income, a total of 43 pounds, plus a gold pocket watch, which was discounted by two pounds and directly given to Rock.

The bracelet of the pocket watch is also gold, one end is connected to the pocket watch, and the other end is connected to a small gold round box, which can hold five small gold coins of one pound denomination, the bottom of the box is equipped with a spring, and the gold coins on it are pushed up, and the box is opened The top gold coin can be pulled out very conveniently. Such a pocket watch is worth at least seven pounds or more in a serious store.

It wasn't until before going to bed that Kunale came back timidly, and Roque had to set rules for Kunale: "No snoring at night, no talking in sleep, no lighting of lamps at night, and light hands and feet, which violates any of the above. One, you will find a place to sleep by yourself tomorrow night."

If possible, Roque would not like to live in the same room with other people, whether they were Indians or Chinese, Roque was not used to it.

But at this stage, Roque has not yet qualified for a room alone, so at least he has to wait for Roque to be promoted to the level of sheriff or above.

Sheriff!

For the next period of time, this is Rock's goal. He must become a sheriff as soon as possible and get a separate room. Rock's requirements are not high. Since Indians can be sheriffs, so can Chinese. Rock has this self-confidence. As long as he can get the attention of the British, Rock has a lot of ways to stand out.

It is gold that shines everywhere.
