Dali Temple has his Lord Luo

Chapter 157 Casino Crook
Tang Hao was invited to give a poetry lecture at Mingwen Publishing House, the largest club in Chuzhou. Before he arrived, he was being talked about by official ladies and young men.

"Have you heard? Tang Hao will be here today!"

asked a woman, covering her mouth with a handkerchief and looking toward the door.

"I was prepared early!"

The other woman replied with a smile.

"Dressed like this? You want him to notice you, right?"

The two women exchanged pleasantries.

Women are attracted by their looks, while men are impressed by their talents.

"You know Tang Hao, right?"

A man in green clothes asked the person next to him.

"Who doesn't know about Chuzhou? If I could learn half as much as he does, I would probably be on the gold list already!"

When other men around him heard this, they would all smile.

When Tang Hao, dressed in white and wearing a folding fan, appeared in everyone's sight, the book club was abuzz. Who didn't know this handsome young man with great talent and rich knowledge?

Tang Hao is a well-known person in Chuzhou.

He is knowledgeable and knows astronomy, astrology, divination, and geography. He has traveled through most of the Zhao Kingdom with his own two feet. He is proficient in history and can tell the stories of Zhao Kingdom's several dynasties.

He also knew medical skills, and it was said that he had read all the medical books of the State of Zhao!

Such a person who is at the academic level has an outstanding appearance.

At this moment, he was wearing white uniforms, his hair was simply tied up, he was taller than an average man, and he had a handsome appearance.

Tang Hao, surrounded by everyone, walked to the communication platform of Mingwen Book Club.

He gently raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.

"Thank you all for today. Because this is an ordinary gathering of poetry friends, we here don't have to stick to common sense. We can communicate freely!"

One man said:

"Mr. Tang, I heard that you have traveled to most of our country, Zhao. Is this true?"

Tang Hao smiled:

"Mostly I dare not say it. It is true that I have traveled to many cities. There is a saying that goes well, read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles! I am indeed on the road most of the time except for reading!"

Everyone sighed, envious of such a life.

"Mr. Tang, I recently read one of your poems. The artistic conception is very beautiful. Can you share your thoughts? It's the poem "Fengchun"!

"Oh, thank you for your appreciation, young master. I traveled to Yanzhou during the Spring Festival, and when the peach blossoms were in full bloom that year, I wrote the poem as I pleased!"

Most of the people present had heard Fengchun's poem. They praised it for its good artistic conception and beautiful words.

The poetry club started like this, and the atmosphere was very lively. When it ended, everyone was reluctant to leave. Tang Hao promised to meet everyone as soon as he had time to return to Chuzhou.

At this time, a young man said:

"Mr. Tang, could I please have a piece of your pen and ink to hang in the study, so that we can remember our meeting today?"

Unexpectedly, this proposal was echoed by everyone. Tang Hao resisted several times, but everyone was enthusiastic.

Finally, under everyone's repeated requests, Tang Hao painted on the spot, and the one with the highest price got it.

After the poetry meeting ended, Tang Hao walked out of Mingwen Book Club and got into a carriage.

The car left the city and stopped at a house. Tang Hao got out of the carriage and entered the house to relax.

After a while, another person walked in from the outside. It was the person who just proposed to buy Tang Hao's pen and ink.

Yes, Tang Hao and this person knew each other. Not only did they know each other, but they also had a master-servant relationship. The master-servant pair had used the same tricks to exchange for a lot of money.

"Sir, you have gained a lot today!"

Tang Hao nodded slightly:

"It's boring. I'll do some tricks in a while."

Zhao Junyi became interested when he heard this: "Okay!"

The two of them rested for a while. Tang Hao changed into a pair of violet clothes and applied disguise cream. This time, he transformed from a handsome young man into a son of a noble family, looking like a playboy.

Follower Zhao Jun sighed beside him:
"Young Master is really amazing. You can switch between characters at will. Looking at it this way, no one will recognize it as Young Master Tang from the Poetry Club!"

Tang Hao glanced at him: "What a shame!"

The two people walked into Qianshoufang one after another, which is the largest gambling house in Chuzhou.

Tang Hao walked in, and saw that he was the son of a rich family, and a servant rushed up to meet him. Tang Hao looked at the layout and rushed to block the big and small games.

After looking at the table for a few times, Zhao Jun also walked over.

Tang Hao said to the dealer: "Buy!"

Then he scanned the crowd and saw that Tang Hao was dressed like this. He was of course the son of a wealthy family and he often came in and out of this place. No one took his orders.

Zhao Jun sat down unceremoniously: "Take it!"

The dealer looked at the two people:
"Then the cards are dealt to two people!"

The dealer cleaned the playing cards repeatedly and showed them to the two people. There were no problems. Each person had five cards and opened the cards.

Tang Hao: 2, 3, 5, J
Zhao Jun: 9, 5, 8, 4
There was no suspense, Tang Hao lost.

More than once, Tang Hao lost all five games in a row. In an instant, Tang Hao lost 200 taels of silver. The dealer smiled:
"Sir, do you want to continue?"

"Continue!" Tang Hao didn't care at all.

However, Zhao Jun stood up:
"I can't keep you company any longer, why not..."

Tang Hao waved his hand:
"I lost 200 taels. How can I leave if I don't stand up?"

Upon hearing this, a rough-faced man sat down:

"purchase!"

Tang Hao glanced at it, sneered, and signaled to the dealer:
"open"

In the first game, Tang Hao lost.

The rough-faced man smiled proudly.

Luck is like this, one loses after another. Seeing that this young master is not having good luck today, everyone watching the game can't help but regret in their hearts why they didn't sit down just now.

In the second game, Tang Hao lost again.

There was anxiety on his face and he said to the dealer:

"Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, I brought 500 taels today. If you lose, you can leave. I want to play a five-person game!"

The dealer looked at everyone, and before he could say anything, three people couldn't wait to sit on the chairs.

Tang Hao hurriedly said to the croupier: "Open!"

As a result, Tang Hao lost again!
The four people at the table showed satisfied smiles and thought: If we play two more games with this luck, wouldn't it be possible to earn 100 taels?

Think beautiful.

Unexpectedly, Tang Hao would continue to add more and proposed to double the gambling capital. Now the winning or losing was more than 100 taels.

Thinking about Tang Hao's luck, the four of them did not hesitate.

The dealer has seen too many people like Tang Hao, and Qianjufang welcomes this kind of people the most.

Seeing that none of the five people had any objections, the dealer started the game.

Unexpectedly, Tang Hao won.

But the four people on the field don't mind, they just lose the money they won, come again.

As the dealer dealt the cards, after three games, Tang Hao had already made a lot of money.

He stood up slowly:

"Not coming, not coming! Everyone, take your leave!"

Seeing Tang Hao walk away with the 200 taels of silver he won, the four people at the table were miserable.

Tang Hao left, and the gambling game continued. The four people wanted to stand up, but they didn't know that they had fallen into an abyss.

Tang Hao put the banknotes in his pocket, wandered out of Qianjufang, and wandered alone on the streets of Chuzhou.

It’s so boring. There’s no point in cheating now, so what else can I do?

Entering the teahouse, Tang Hao was drinking tea and listening to a book by himself. The people at the table next to him seemed to be businessmen, so he just listened to a few people chatting.

"Have you heard about Anyang City Star Building? It needs maintenance!"

"The tallest building? It's old!"

Tang Hao was trembling in his heart. What interesting thing could he do?
