Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 774

After gambling for a while, Cao Tongzhang won and lost, basically neither made nor lost, and gradually felt helpless.He said to Cheng Qing and Sun Ping: "Besides the two members, it's not interesting to gamble like this. How about the four of us making a table? As long as the Tao members here have a rake, they can set up their own gaming tables."

Cheng Qing smiled and said, "Wouldn't that be giving money to Tao Yuan for nothing?"

Cao Tongzhang said: "The casino is like this. The person who sets the gamble has many responsibilities, how can he not make money?"

Cheng Qing looked Cao Tongzhang up and down, and then at Sun Ping.After thinking about it, he nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, let's set up a table by ourselves. I don't know what Yuanwai Cao wants to bet on? To be honest, we brothers don't often gamble, and it's too complicated to play."

Cao Tongzhang said: "That's it - throwing money is played by gamblers at the entrance of the village, so it's not suitable here. If you can't play complicated games, let's roll the dice!"

Cheng Qing nodded slowly: "Alright. Just follow Cao Yuanwai."

After speaking, he went to an empty table next to him with Sun Ping and Meng Xun.Talk to Tao Yuanwai and ask him to bring the gambling tools.

After tossing three times, Cao Tongzhang couldn't hold back anymore.Say: "It's my turn!" Grab the dice on the table, and just change hands, and replace them with your own dice.Cheng Qing and Sun Ping on the opposite side pretended not to see it, but there was a sneer in the corner of their eyes.

After tossing three times in a row, Cao Tongzhang won three times in a row, so he couldn't help being overjoyed.His dice are filled with mercury, so it can be said that what time is it, how can others win him?

The trick of pouring mercury into the dice, if it was in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, any gambler would know it.But in this era, it is only a skill that few gamblers know, and it is rare to miss.Cao Tongzhang looked at Cheng Qing and Sun Ping, two goats. Isn't that easy to catch?
When it was the fourth one, Cheng Qing grabbed Cao Tongzhang's hand and said, "What should I do if I lose my back like this? Forget it, let's not guess the number, let's change the size. Throw the dice, the big one wins, the small one loses, Clean and neat!"

Cao Tongzhang said: "That's good! Today, you must be convinced!"

Cheng Qing gestured to Sun Ping next to him and smiled.

Cao Tongzhang tossed first, thinking not to throw too much, lest Cheng Qing and Sun Ping become suspicious.He went down, threw two fours and one six, and said, "Fortunately, it's not too small."

Sun Ping nodded again and again: "It's not small——"

The dice in his hand were casually scattered on the table, and when they stopped, they turned out to be four five six.He smiled and said, "What a lucky fate! Just a little older than you!"

Meng Xun didn't know how to play against Sun Ping, he just threw one, four, and five.

Cheng Qing smiled.Holding the dice in his hand, he took a breath and threw it out.The dice stopped, but it was two, three, six.

Sun Ping won this hand, which made Cao Tongzhang very upset.

The next few throws were either Sun Ping or Cheng Qing. No matter how many times Cao Tongzhang threw, they were all bigger than him.The dice are his own dice, and the technique has been practiced proficiently on weekdays. Cao Tongzhang only thought that his luck was bad, and the more he lost, the more anxious he became.On the other hand, Meng Xun saw the way and knew that he had met a master.It's just that the person was called by him, so he didn't dare to tell the truth, and felt like sitting there on pins and needles.

The snow fell harder and harder, and the water surface was white.Occasionally, a white sail sailed across the Luo River, which was the same color as the sky and the earth, and soon disappeared.

Several small boats came slowly from the shore, surrounding the painting boat.A general stood at the bow like an iron tower.

A messenger came up and whispered: "General, I don't know if it is our luck. This seems to be a gambling boat. I can see it clearly from the side. Since this morning, there are several wealthy officials in the city who also have special gamblers." They all boarded the boat. Could it be that they are here for dinner in such a snowy weather?"

Shen Zhou looked at Daxue, and said in a low voice: "It's really luck! Taking the Huainan Shuanghu and adding a gambling boat, this is a great contribution! How can such a gambling boat be possible without the cooperation of the officials? Check again If there are a few incompetent ones, we will make a great contribution today!"

After speaking, he turned around and looked at his boat.Said: "In a while, you will follow me on the boat, and there will be five people in each boat. If you are cruel, you will not be able to escape them by jumping into the water! Remember, our focus is on the Huainan Shuanghu, and we must not let them Ran!"

Send someone to sing a promise and go back to order.

Seeing that the deployment was completed, the boat swayed towards the painting boat.

When the people on the boat saw it, someone said angrily: "Who are you? You dare to harass us, you don't want to live!"

Shen Zhou ignored it, and only ordered the boat to quickly approach.Seeing that he was getting close, he threw out the iron hook in his hand and caught the painting boat.

Pulling out his knife and thrusting it, Shen Zhou said in a loud voice: "The Henan government is handling the case, people who have nothing to do with it get out of the way! If someone obstructs, shoot and kill!"

After finishing speaking, let the pawns around him put the high ladder on the painting boat, use people to resist it, and stand up by themselves.

Tao Yuanwai must have hooked up with people from Henan Mansion to do this business.Although officials who are too high in rank cannot be attached to, the smooth characters in the police below, the little bosses on patrol, etc., still need to make more friends.His casino often changed locations, and he knew the direction of the inspection in advance, so that the government could not catch him.

Shen Zhou was the leader of the Xiang army in the Henan government, Tao Yuanwai didn't know him.Today, Cheng Qing and Sun Ping were supposed to be arrested, but they found this painting boat by accident.

On board the boat, Shen Zhou raised the knife in his hand and said loudly, "If you are afraid of death, hide away! Grandpa is capturing the Huainan Shuanghu today, so stand aside if you have nothing to do with it!"

Wait for the people below to come up and rush into the painting boat with them.

Outside Tao Yuan there were of course thugs, but there were so many Xiang troops coming up, they didn't dare to move.

Shen Zhou glanced at the bewildered Tao Yuanwai and snorted coldly.Walking in front of Cheng Qing and Sun Ping, he looked up and down, and said, "We've been staring at you two for a few days, and you still dare to bet money? It's in my hands today, what else can we say?"

Sun Ping said: "Why do you arrest me? We are both good citizens!"

Shen Zhou sneered and said, "You two are good citizens? Buying and selling forbidden items from the imperial mausoleum, are there good people like you in the world?"

Cheng Qing sighed.Said: "Officials, we are just greedy for the treasures of Meng Xiaoguan's treasures. I really don't know what is forbidden in the imperial mausoleum!"

Shen Zhou said: "Stop talking nonsense, you will be judged by the officials! Come, I will take the two of you away!"

Sun Ping looked around, his eyes rolling around.Cheng Qing saw it and shook his head slightly.It was snowing heavily today, and the boat was in Luoshui again. It was a desperate situation.Shen Zhou brought so many people with him, so he could only lower his head and think of a way after he went out.

After the two were tied up, Shen Zhou turned around and said to Tao Yuan, "Are you the owner here?"

Tao Yuanwai was not in a panic, he cupped his hands and said, "Huiguan, this boat is not mine, but my nephew Tao Ting's. It's fine today, I'm going to play on the boat."

Shen Zhou smiled and said: "That's okay. Take them back together, and the officials will judge!"

After finishing speaking, Shen Zhou said to Xiang Jun who was standing on the side: "Take all the people on board back today! This boat is temporarily impounded, waiting for the officials to inspect. It is often heard that the rich people in Luoyang City gather to gamble, and today we have seen it. "
