Judgement

Chapter 53 Enlighten the Prodigal Son

After leaving the private room, Xiao Zhuzi had already climbed the stairs to the third floor.Seeing that Chen Mengsheng was unscathed, he finally felt relieved and said: "Grandfather, are you okay? I was downstairs just now and suddenly saw a person jumping off the building. I thought it was Mr. Gong who was murdered by that guy. That guy is not a good person, Hehe, Engong, you are someone Xiao Zhuzi admires."

Chen Mengsheng and Xiao Zhuzi came out from Ruyifang. Xiao Zhuzi ate half of his meal in Zuixian Restaurant, and was brought out by Chen Mengsheng, already very hungry.

"Engong, there is a fresh fish restaurant not far in front, Xiao Zhuzi has won a thousand taels of silver from Engong today, and I don't think I want to invite Engong to drink a glass of thin wine."

This Chen Mengsheng didn't like Xiao Zhuzi at first, such a rebellious son who tires his parents will suffer retribution in the future.But after several times of dating, Chen Mengsheng discovered that this kid is not very bad in nature, and it would be a good thing if he can walk the right path.

Xiao Zhuzi took Chen Mengsheng to a fresh fish restaurant. Unexpectedly, the business in the fresh fish restaurant in the middle of the night turned out to be surprisingly good.

The dozen or so tables were packed, and Xiao Zhuzi must have come here often.The shopkeeper asked the waiter to add another table in the hall, and after a while, the waiter brought fresh fish and water wine.

When Chen Mengsheng saw this plate of fresh fish, he really lived up to his reputation.The fish's mouth is still opening and closing, and the fish's tail is still swinging.But the body of the fish has been fried into light golden color, and the seasoning with sesame oil is really exciting.

Fish-eating in Jiangnan water towns is a glutton, and each type of fish has its own unique method and flavor.Chen Mengsheng held up his chopsticks lightly, and the sweet and fresh taste lingered in his mouth.

Xiao Zhuzi took a sip of the wine and spat: "This wine is really undrinkable. I think the wine my father taught me to brew is a hundred times better than this wine."

"Then do you understand who your father is making wine for?"

Xiao Zhuzi was ashamed and silent when he thought of the kindness of his parents for a moment.He lowered his head and drank one cup after another. It was because of his gambling that he pissed off his parents. Now regretting it is useless...

Chen Mengsheng looked at Xiao Zhuzi and sighed: "Did you understand in Ruyifang today?"

"Understood, I didn't expect Engong to be a casino master."

"Casinos are full of lies. You may win today and lose tomorrow. In the end, the real winner is the one who gambled."

"Hehe, no. You are very good, benefactor, you can win everything. If only I had [-]% of your ability."

Chen Mengsheng took Xiao Zhuzi's empty wine glass and filled it with wine, and said with a smile, "You pour the wine from the full glass into the empty glass, and you will understand after repeating it a few times. The empty wine glass is your pocket, then Wine is silver."

Xiao Zhuzi picked up the two wine glasses very carefully. When the full wine glass was poured into the empty wine glass, there would always be a little splash. After pouring it a few times, the two wine glasses in Xiao Zhuzi's hand became empty...

"Engong, I understand. No matter how the money is gambled, no matter whether you win or lose, it will still be gone in the end."

"Hehe, it's best if you can figure it out. What are your plans for the future?"

"Engong, I want to go back to Lin'an, but I don't dare..., I go back, those people will definitely kill me."

"How much money do you owe in total?"

"Five thousand...six thousand, five or six thousand taels." Xiao Zhuzi really can't remember how much he owed. The Fulai Restaurant paid off his gambling debts and his parents were driven to sleep on the street. All this was something Xiao Zhuzi didn't dare to think about. Xiao Zhuzi never dared to think about the days to come.Living in a daze of wine today and drunk today, when asked by Chen Mengsheng today, I only feel a burst of pain in my heart.

After drinking for a while, the person became a little dizzy and his feet became light, and he could vaguely hear the sound of someone yelling and drinking.Taking a closer look at Xiao Zhuzi, he couldn't help but secretly sighed: It's such a big gambling house, the whole gambling house is filled with golden walls and crowds of gamblers, but there is only one huge gaming table and one croupier.There are boxes full of ingots and bank notes beside me, and the silver light under the light is dazzling...

Xiao Zhuzi looked at the people in front of him betting "big" and "big"... Xiao Zhuzi's ears were filled with wanton laughter from the winners.At this time, Xiao Zhuzi had been stimulated soberly, he was hesitating normally with the money in his hand.I seem to have promised my benefactor not to gamble anymore, but seeing other people gamble is really painful...

Xiao Zhuzi decided to take a gamble as a last souvenir.Once this excuse was found, Xiao Zhuzi was no longer embarrassed.The money in his hand was about to be put on the big characters, but this hand just didn't obey his orders and put it on the small characters next to it...

The croupier's face was very solemn and pale gray-green, his eyes looked at Xiao Zhuzi expressionlessly, and he raised his hand and threw three dice into a sea bowl.The dice were churning in the bowl, and the numbers were constantly changing, and the voices of people around were shouting one after another.Xiao Zhuzi only paid attention to the changes of the dice, and turned a deaf ear to the clamor of others.

The three dice collided with each other in the sea bowl, and slowly started to stop and finally settled on two, three, and four. After the "little" croupier let out a cold low voice, those who won laughed loudly, while those who lost burst into tears.

Xiao Zhuzi only felt that there were a lot fewer gamblers around, but he didn't think about it.After winning the money for himself, he wanted to give up and leave, but he was unwilling to gamble and was afraid of breaking his promise.Just when Xiao Zhuzi was wondering, the croupier threw the dice into the sea bowl again, and the result was still a small one.Xiao Zhuzi saw those gamblers who won were full of complacency, and those who lost thumped their feet and disappeared inexplicably.All the vicissitudes of life are revealed on this gambling table...

After a few rounds, only Xiao Zhuzi and the croupier were left in the casino. The croupier didn't look at Xiao Zhuzi, but said indifferently to himself, "Why don't you dare to bet if you want to gamble?"

"Who said I dare not place a bet?" Xiao Zhuzi took out the 500 taels of banknotes he won in Ruyifang from his pocket, and was about to bet on Xiao, but the banknotes floated on Leopard's hands. superior.

The croupier saw that the bet had been placed, and there was another crisp ding-dong sound of the dice falling into the bowl.Xiao Zhuzi's heart was hanging in his throat at this time, he wanted to bet on Xiao, not wanting the banknote to float on the leopard, so he had no regrets in betting tomorrow.Xiao Zhuzi could only wait for the fixed number of the dice, but Xiao Zhuzi felt like a long time had passed in such a short moment.

The two, three, and two dice had already stopped, and Xiao Zhuzi stared closely at the last dice that was still undecided.The dice hit the other dice and stopped, and the three dice in the bowl became three three points...

The "Leopard" dealer still had that expressionless and cold voice, and piled up 9000 taels of silver in front of Xiao Zhuzi.Xiao Zhuzi had never seen so much silver in his life, touched the silver excitedly, and felt dizzy from the white light of the silver.

"Are you still betting?"

"Down, down, down." Xiao Zhuzi felt that he had the help of a god and a man today. This time, he simply used the banknote to gently put down the big and small characters on the bet, depending on the banknote falling down by itself.But the banknote floated on the leopard again.

"Wait a minute, I want to raise the bet." Xiao Zhuzi pushed all the 9000 taels of silver he won on the table up.The croupier still rolled the dice with no expression on his face, Xiao Zhuzi held his breath following the beating of the three dice and dared not take a breath...

"Four...four...four...four. Leopard...I won, haha..." Xiao Zhuzi hissed...more than a dozen boxes of silver were dumped in front of Xiao Zhuzi, and the silver rolled down from the gambling table like a waterfall , buried half of Xiao Zhuzi's body.

"Hahaha... I, Xiao Zhuzi, have never seen so much silver, hahaha."

"Are you still betting?" Xiao Zhuzi, who was lying in the pile of silver, was interrupted by a cold voice.

"Go, I'm all-in, I want to be the richest in the world." Xiao Zhuzi crawled hard to the gambling table among the piles of money, picked up the banknote and asked the banknote to fall down by himself.But this time the banknote landed on a gambling table other than betting, and it happened several times in a row. "I'm lucky today, I won without you." Xiao Zhuzi said viciously at the bank note.

"Bet big, I'll bet all big." Xiao Zhuzi, who was lying on the silver, shouted.

The croupier's dice fell into the bowl, and Xiao Zhuzi was secretly thinking that if he wins this one, he can have everything he wants. Will those people who looked down on him before dare to laugh at him again?

One of the dice in the sea bowl stopped at six o'clock, and another dice stopped at one o'clock.Xiao Zhuzi had a great chance of winning, and Xiao Zhuzi was already a little carried away with complacency, and began to cast greedy glances at the cash box behind the croupier.

"One, six, one. Small. You lost." The cold voice turned Xiao Zhuzi's heart from hot to cold.

"No, it's impossible." Looking at the three dice in the bowl, Xiao Zhuzi despaired, and all his wishes became a passing cloud.

The croupier said coldly at this time: "My name is Xuanyuan, and I was a gambler like you when I was alive."

"What? Are you a ghost? What about the silver?"

"The bet on Wuchang wins, everyone who loses to me will become an ingot in the box. Now you are too, take your life and come."

Xiao Zhuzi lay on the pile of silver and stretched out one by one withered hands, pulling Xiao Zhuzi.Xiao Zhuzi wanted to call for help, but when he opened his mouth, those hands stretched in. Thousands of hands dragged Xiao Zhuzi, and the withered hands tore Xiao Zhuzi like iron tongs. Xiao Zhuzi regretted why he came to gamble, But is it useful to regret?A black hole opened on the floor of the casino, and Xiao Zhuzi was thrown into this bottomless abyss...

Xiao Zhuzi woke up with a sudden scream, only to see Chen Mengsheng looking at him with a smile, the fish on the table was still warm and steaming, all the diners in the fresh fish restaurant looked at Xiao Zhuzi in surprise.

Chen Mengsheng asked softly: "Did you enjoy your gambling?"

Hearing these words, Xiao Zhuzi felt as if he was struck by five thunders, his eyes were full of panic: "Grandfather, I...I will never gamble again."

"Haha, I believe in you." Chen Mengsheng took out an 8000 tael silver ticket from his sleeve and said, "Hurry up and return to Lin'an, and reorganize the Fulai Restaurant."

"Engong, I don't know you before, why do you save me so many times?"

"I was once favored by your father for a glass of wine, and I pity him and his elders for hating iron for steel. You go back, and I will go to Fulai Winery to drink your wine for whom in a few days."

"If you dare to ask your benefactor Gao's name, Xiao Zhuzi will never forget it."

"My name is Chen Mengsheng, I just met your father. If you open your store well, you will not be able to live up to my painstaking efforts. You should go back and clean up now, and return to Lin'an tomorrow."

Xiao Zhuzi had no choice but to leave Chen Mengsheng and went to the fresh fish restaurant. Chen Mengsheng drank alone but wondered where Ye Shuanger's soul returned to Qianyuan...
