Power to the government and the public: Qian engaged in business in ancient times

Chapter 19

Mongkok Casino, inside the casino.

In an extremely spacious hall.

Around the hall, at this moment, every gaming table is full of men, old and young, all of them are paying attention to watching the dealer roll the dice, waiting to buy big and small.

"I've said so much, Brother Wen understands the rules, right?" Chen Pi looked at Wen and asked with a smile.

"Well, I understand." Sitting below, Wen Qian pretended to be enlightened and nodded, looked at Chen Pi beside her, and said worriedly: "Brother Chen, I think it's easy to win money, and I plan to bet every hand for ten taels." Yinzi, do you really want to invite me to play three games?"

Chen Pi blinked at the thick guy at one of the tables, and said with a smile, "Of course, I, Mr. Chen, mean what I say!"

Wen Qian said: "Okay! Then I would like to thank Brother Chen for his generosity."

Chen Pi guided Wen Qian to stop in front of the rough and tough man's gambling table, and the surrounding gamblers consciously backed away because of Wen Qian's cold aura.

The big man pretended to be unintentional and glanced at Chen Pi, then set his eyes on Wen Qian, raised a treacherous smile: "Guest officer, you look so cute!"

Wen Qian nodded: "Well, first time back."

Seeing the gentle and youthful appearance of a mature and indifferent scholar with sword-brows and star-eyed, plump and handsome scholar.

The big man couldn't help flashing a hint of sarcasm, this is another ignorant scholar who was tricked by Mr. Chen Pi, another fat sheep into the wolf's den!
The big man first shakes the three dice in a covered container, and shouts while shaking: "Come, come, buy big, buy small, buy and leave!"

"I buy big."

"Fart, this game must be small, I'll buy small!"

"No, you are not lucky. I think this brother has a vision. If you buy big, you must buy big!"

"..."

Wen Qian watched as the gamblers around him bet with their coins because of the man's words. The smallest one was one tael, and the big one was 20 taels.

"Brother Wen, do you want big or small?" Chen Pi received the sign from the big man's expression, and asked Wen Qian with a smile while holding ten taels of silver.

"Buy big." Wen Qian took the twelve small gold ingots in Chen Pi's hand, and pressed the word 'big' without blinking.

When the big man saw that everyone had finished betting, he opened the container: "Three, three, six, big!"

"I bought big and I won!"

"Good guy, I bought it with my brother, it really is big, I got rich!"

"Damn it, I would have known that I would have bought too big, and lost again!"

………………

"Haha, brother Wen is very lucky, three-three-six, big, and won." Chen Pi put the won 100 taels into Wen Qian's hands, with an extremely excited smile on his face.

"Yeah." Wen Qian took the money unceremoniously, and looked at the atmosphere in the crowd, which made the gamblers who were at other tables gather quickly.

In the second bet, Wen Qian made a small bet on the 100 taels in her hand and won. The odds were one to five. 100 taels became 500 taels.

In the third bet, continue to bet 500 taels, the odds are 5000 to [-], and you win, [-] taels.

Wen Qian looked at Yinzi, who was like a small hill in front of her, and then at the group of red-eyed and thick-necked gamblers who were staring at herself, frowning slightly.

She has attracted everyone's attention!

"Brother Wen, play slowly, I have something else to do." Chen Pi saw that Wen Qian had attracted the attention of others, and it was time to get away.

"Okay." Wen Qian nodded, not surprised by this.

Seeing Chen Pi leave, the big man knew that the time was right, he shook the dice again, his eyes brightened.

Seeing the unsightly Chen Pi leaving, a man in red hurriedly squeezed to Wen Qian's side, and said enthusiastically, "Brother, hurry up and place your bet."

Another man in a Chinese suit leaned over, urging in a bad tone: "Stinky boy, hurry up and buy me a big one or a small one. In the last two rounds, I'm against you. I lost 1000 taels. I'll follow you this time." Squeeze, I still don't believe that I can't win!"

"Okay, I'll follow suit!"

"I want it too!"

The crowd who had been dubious just now turned into a group of people scrambling for the first place, waiting for Wen Qian to buy big and small.

In the corner of the hall, Chen Pi looked at Wen Qian who was surrounded in the middle with satisfaction, and finally had the prestige to trample the former high-ranking enemy on the soles of his feet.

Wen Qian glanced at the man in the fancy dress: "You are so impatient, why don't you let me buy it first?"

"Huh?" The man in the Chinese suit was choked and immediately fell ill.

The big man looked at the dispute in front of him with a smile, stared at the silver in front of Wen Qian, and asked, "Do you want to buy big or small?"

Wen Qian said in a deep voice, "Buy a small one!"

Hearing this, the big man smiled even more triumphantly, and shouted: "Young master, what about you?"

"I... I also buy small ones."

"I also buy small ones!"

"I'll buy all the coins." Seeing this, the man in Chinese clothes took out all the bank notes in his arms and pressed them on the word 'small'.

It was really because the mountain of silver in front of Wen Qian was so attractive, there was an endless stream of people following suit, and only a few people chose to press the big one unaffected.

Wen Qian blinked her eyes, knowing that she had made a mistake, but she didn't care. Her purpose was to attract the attention of casino people, and now her goal has been achieved.

It also saves myself the cost, which is a good deal.

Seeing that everyone who was supposed to bet had already placed their bets, the big man smiled and opened the dice cover: "Four three eight, fifteen o'clock big!"

"This... I lost!" The man in red looked at the number in disbelief.

"What? It's fifteen o'clock. My silver is a total of 3000 taels. I lost it all." The man in Chinese clothes rubbed his eyes, and watched the big man take the bank notes dejectedly.

His expression darkened, he turned his head to Wen Qian viciously, and said angrily, "Boy, pay me back!"

Wen Qian's eyes turned cold, and she smiled lightly: "Money, what money? Ask the dealer, should I pay you back?"

The man in Chinese clothes glanced at the fierce and thick man of the banker, and at Wen Qian who was exuding a cold aura, put down a few harsh words and left.

The big man smiled and said, "Continue to play?"

I thought to myself that I lost so much money just now, this kid can't be tempted, now it's his turn to bleed out of his pocket.

Wen Qian looked at the big man calmly, "I won't play anymore."

The big man was stunned: "You...you don't play anymore?"

If you don't play, then Chen Pi and I have been busy for a long time, and we have earned some gambler's money?Or money they should have lost.

Wen Qian said calmly: "That's right, I won't play anymore."

The big man's face changed again and again, he took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Are you sure?"

"Yeah." Wen Qian nodded, and looked at the big man provocatively: "What? You still want to force me to gamble?"

The big man looked at Wen Qian coldly, and denied with a black face: "How is it possible, we are a serious gambling house here!"

"Understood!" If you are not serious, you can't make money by pulling people's heads.

A smile flashed in Wen Qian's eyes, he didn't expect this big man to be quite capable, and he didn't lose his temper even if he was busy for nothing.

Wen Qian left the gaming table and wandered around the hall, ignoring the seemingly invisible surveillance behind her.

She still doesn't believe that people hiding in the dark can bear it.

Wen Qian just visited all the gambling tables, and the missing Chen Pi appeared, "Brother Wen, why don't you play anymore?"

Wen Qian spread her hands: "As soon as you leave, I will lose all the money I won, and I won't be interested in playing."

When Chen Pi heard this, the smile on his face froze.

This kid doesn't play tricks according to common sense. Don't others want to win back when they lose, why is he not interested in playing?

After doing this calculation, wouldn't it be that I lost 30 taels of silver, and even played a scene with him for nothing.

"Brother Chen, what are you thinking?" Wen Qian looked at the silent Chen Pi, and patted him on the shoulder with a faint smile.

"No, I didn't think about anything." Chen Pi looked at the ignorant Wen Qian, wanted to turn his back on him but couldn't find a good excuse, so he could only smile awkwardly: "Brother Wen, what do you plan to do now? Leave the casino?"

Wen Qian smiled and said, "Well, it depends on Brother Chen's intention."

Chen Pi looked at Wen Qian suspiciously, not understanding what he meant.

Wen Qian didn't pretend to be a joke, and said bluntly: "I just checked the business of the gambling house, and found that in this day, apart from the principal and manpower, I can only earn a thousand taels of silver. I have a better way here. Let the business of the gambling house increase by more than ten times, I wonder if Brother Chen wants to hear it?"

When Chen Pi heard this, he was surprised and said: "Brother Wen is serious? How can you make money like this?"

Wen Qian smiled slightly, and looked at Chen Pi calmly.

Seeing this, Chen Pi instantly understood.

Hastily going on the road, he took out a hundred taels of silver bill from his purse and secretly stuffed it to Wen Qian, looking at him expectantly.
