The oath of rebirth not to be a concubine

Chapter 32
As soon as the words fell, a child in ragged clothes ran from the stairs.

He rushed straight at Ji Yunchang's book boy, then turned around, grabbed the big duck leg that I had only eaten a bite of, stuffed it into his mouth, and jumped out along the window.

I was startled, and hurriedly leaned over the window to look. He was holding on to the colored satin by the window to decorate lanterns, and quickly slid to the ground, as if feeling that I was looking at him. He looked up at me and bit A mouthful of duck leg swished into the person and disappeared instantly.

"Hey, you little bastard!" The shopkeeper who followed closely scolded all the way, seeing that the person had already run away, he hurriedly said to us apologetically, "I'm sorry, sir, didn't you scare a few of you? Or, I'll give you Are you changing to a plate of sauced duck?"

Ji Yun often looked at me, I was already full, so he said, "No need, pack up the dishes that didn't arrive, and settle the score."

"Okay, wait a minute, sir, uh...the total is 51 taels and three. I'll round it up for you. I'll just charge you 51 taels."

Ji Yunchang nodded, and the book boy next to him immediately went to feel for the money belt, touched it a few times, and immediately said with a mournful face, "Young...Master, the money bag is lost..."

"Could it be that person who stole it just now?" Lu Zhu whispered.

Before he went upstairs, he still had a money bag on his waist, and no one else came up during the meal, so he knew it was stolen by that person.Fortunately, I didn't lose much money, so I asked Lu Zhu to settle the bill, and went downstairs with the food.

After dinner, it's the end of the day. I'm afraid it will be difficult to come out when I return home. I turned a corner and wanted Ji Yunchang to go back first, but he just followed beside me without saying a word, as if he didn't understand.

I happened to pass by a street market selling snacks, so I had to pretend that I wanted to eat them all. I bought candied haws in the east, and a box of lotus cakes in the west. Let's go, I'll go to Huajie again.

But such time-consuming is not a solution. After a while, Lu Zhu and the book boy couldn’t take the things in their hands. I went to the osmanthus cake stall not far from Jiyun Changzhi Road, where there were five No. 60 people in line. I also muttered in my heart.

It's not an option to continue buying like this. Besides, it's almost at the end of the street. You can't come back and buy it again, right?

Just thinking about it, Luzhu suddenly shouted, "Look, it's the one who stole the money bag!"

Following the direction of her finger, a child in tattered clothes was standing in front of a stall selling steamed buns. Hearing the shout, he also came towards us. He seemed to recognize us and threw it in his hand. The steamed stuffed bun ran away.

"Don't run!" Shu Tong yelled and chased after him, and Luzhu and I followed suit.

The kid ran very fast and knew the area very well, so he disappeared without a trace.The book boy was very persistent, chasing after him along a side alley, and he seemed to not give up until he was caught.

Luzhu carried a lot of things, and after running far away, she squatted down and panted heavily, so I also stopped, thinking that when the book boy came back, we would go to Ji Yunchang together, but unexpectedly, a person flew out of nowhere in the diagonal stab The one in the middle coat came and landed right at my feet.

"Cough...cough..." The person fell heavily, and it took him a long time before he coughed.

A few reckless men with green hexagrams came out from the side door, and the one with the green stubble at the head snorted and scolded, "I don't even look at myself, I go to Jucai Gambling to make trouble, and if I don't give you any color, you'll be ashamed." I don’t know who I am anymore, this time I’m taking your clothes! Let me see you again, break your legs, get out!!” After speaking, he spat, turned and entered the room.

Only then did I see clearly that we were standing at the door of a gambling house. This gambling house was quite large, with a height of three floors. There were constant shouts from inside, and the business was booming.

The Red Mansion Gambling House sold gold caves, and the Wanguan family's wealth was like a slaughter. These two places have been like this since ancient times. How many people were tempted, but in the end they ended up with nothing.The Li Jiu I helped before was because of a word of gambling, the father who was killed didn't even have money for the burial.

"Ahem... You son of a bitch, you're playing tricks!" The people in the underground waited for a long time, and finally got up. He got up while scolding, looked up at me, and called out in disbelief, "Grandpa? Why are you here?" This?"

For a split second, I almost fainted.It never occurred to him that the person on the ground was actually Li Jiu!
Li Jiu blushed slightly, and quickly got up and said, "Gong Gong, listen to my explanation, I didn't come here to gamble, I have quit gambling!".

Well, I quit, and then my clothes were taken off and thrown out from inside.

Seeing my unkind expression, he blushed even more, "Grandfather, today's incident really happened for a reason, please listen to my explanation."

Seeing that I was silent, Li Jiu said, "Grandfather, do you still remember the janitor who asked me to check last time?"

He looked up at me and continued, "One of my little brothers found out that the man is Qiao Qi, who has been watching the gate of the Yulin Pavilion for several years, and he basically never comes out.

This person has a dull personality, but he likes to gamble. My little brother waited for a few days, finally saw him go out, followed him all the way into the casino, and immediately went to inform me.Unexpectedly, when I came, he had already lost all his belongings by betting, and he had no money to pay back, and was about to have a finger chopped off by the boss to settle the debt.

I thought, even if the person benefactor is looking for, naturally he can't just sit and see him disabled, so I went up to him and asked him how much he owed, and wanted to help him replace it. Li Jiu always came to this gambling house before. The deed of release was lost here.The boss saw that it was me who was nosy, so he asked me to gamble with him a few times.Said that as long as I win, I will give people to me. "

Li Jiu's face turned red again, "At that time, I felt that I would not lose, so I agreed, but who knows, they actually cheated, won my money, and took away my clothes! Benedict, I really didn't come here to gamble... ..."

Judging by his appearance, it doesn't seem like he is lying. Since he came here to do something for me, it is natural not to say anything else. Let Lu Zhu take the money and buy him clothes for him in a hat shop.Just working hard, two more people were thrown out from inside, all of them were wearing only middle clothes, and they were cursing the banker for spending thousands of dollars.

I became interested and asked Li Jiu, "How do you know they are out of money?"

Li Jiudao: "Back to Engong, we used to compare the size by rolling the dice. I obviously heard that it was a small number, but when I opened it, it became a big number!"

I said softly, "This alone does not prove that the other party is cheating. Can you see that they have tricks?"

He thought for a while, and said, "But I really didn't see how to make a move. Maybe it's because the technique is too high, so I can't see it."

method?In this world, there is no trick that is faster than the eyes!You can only play tricks, look carefully, you will definitely be cheated!

Looking at the gate of the casino with people coming and going, I thought for a while, "Is this where you lost your previous house?"

Li Jiu nodded, his expression changed again.

"This casino makes a lot of money in one day, right?"

Li Jiu was taken aback, as if he didn't understand what I said.

I was too lazy to bother, swiped to open the folding fan, and strode forward, "Come on, go in and have a look."

"Hey... little... young master, let's not go in." Lu Zhu came over to stop her face blind.I ignored it and stepped into the casino in two steps.

"Come on, buy it and leave!"

"I'll buy five taels, buy big!"

"I'll press three copper coins, little one!"

As soon as they entered the gambling house, there was an endless stream of calls, and people in twos and threes formed a circle, placing chips with the impact of the cup box and the dice.

I took a quick glance and saw that this gambling house is very standard, only this floor is divided into several areas, those with big bets can go inside, the tables and chairs inside are more elegant, and those with small bets can guess pots outside.There are some rice and root potatoes in the far corner. It seems that this place is not afraid of visitors, and you can gamble with anything...

"Yeah! It's you again, with a different skin, I almost didn't recognize you."

As soon as he entered, the green stubble saw Li Jiu, his face darkened, and he said, "I just said that I will break your legs when I see you again. How dare you come in to make trouble? I really think I'm just joking." Do you? Come on, call me!"

"Yes!" Immediately, a boorish man came out from the room, and he was about to come over with his arms raised.

"Wait!" I stopped aloud.

The green beard stubble circled me up and down, maybe seeing that I was dressed well, so he calmed down and said politely, "Young master, why did you come to my Jucai gambling house?"

I swipe to close the fan, and smiled slightly, "I came to the gambling house, naturally I want to gamble a few times. I heard that my friend left all his clothes here just now, and he thought it was fresh, so I came over to have a look. I wonder if it can be convenient." Woolen cloth?"

As soon as he heard that I wanted to play two games, Qing Huzhu immediately put on a smile on his face, "Look at what the young master said, the visitor is a visitor, what is convenient, please come inside..."

As he said that, he bowed sideways and let the few of us get to the table.Then I called someone over to change the cup box, opened a new box of dice and put it in, and asked, "I don't know my son, do you want to play guessing points, or do you want to compare the size?"

"Let's play two guessing points first. Green beads, press the number."

Luzhu had no choice but to take out the smallest piece of silver from the purse.

Green beard stubble signaled that it was time to roll the dice, and the dealer raised the cup box and swung it up and down, left and right, and with a "pop!", it landed on the table.

"Engong, it's bigger." Li Jiu whispered in my ear.

I nodded and said, "Press the big one." Lu Zhu put the broken silver on the big side.

"Open!" Qing Huzhu shouted, picked up the cup box, six, eight, nine, it really is big.

Qinghu stubble immediately paid a piece of silver.The dealer continued to shake the dice, and it slapped down again.

"Engong, it's still big this time." Li Jiuyou reminded again.

"Big!" I motioned for the green bead to press the broken silver bigger.There is no doubt that this time it still won.

Seven or eight times in a row, it was almost always me betting and winning. Seeing that the money I won had more than doubled, Luzhu was very excited, took out all the money in the purse, and bet when I gave the order .

"Crack!" The cup box fell, and the green beard stubble looked at me and said, "Young master, this game is too big and small? Buy it and leave it."

"My lord, the voice sounds low. But you have to be careful that he cheats. That's how Li Jiu got hurt last time."

Li Jiu guessed all the way right, so it should be Xiao Xiao in this box.But just now I clearly saw the green stubble and laughed again...

Press big, press small...
