Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 139

Of course it wasn't that his eyes could see through the dice cup, because he finally discovered that Ye Chen rarely stared at the dice cup during the whole process, and even habitually tilted his head slightly every time.

To understand the real situation of things around us, human beings have nothing more than four basic means of seeing, hearing, smelling and touching.Smell and touch can be excluded in dice gambling, so in addition to seeing, naturally only listening is left.

This young man who has never made a sound is actually the same as the one hired by Yinxin Casino at a high price yesterday.

Coming to the above conclusion, the middle-aged man couldn't help but shudder in his heart, and when he looked at Ye Chen again, there was a hint of burning in his expression.

Because he remembered something that happened yesterday in the casino industry in Yangzhou: the old rival of the Yangzhou casino, Yinxin Casino, which ranked second among the many casinos in Yangzhou City, hired a master at a high price yesterday, this person was named Hu San, It is said that the ears are born different from ordinary people, and they can hear the results of the color.The most important thing is that Yinxin Casino immediately released rumors that Hu San would come to Yangzhou Casino to play games.

Fighting between casinos is naturally not about using knife or force, and has its own rules.To put it simply, it is to send gambling masters to the other party's place to gamble, and use cheating tricks that the casino can't find out, and win a lot of money from the casino, causing the casino to close down.

After getting this news, Yangzhou casinos fell into a dark cloud, but this kind of play can't be avoided at all.If ordinary casinos send masters, with the power of Yangzhou casinos, there will naturally be ways to make such a game die early.However, the power behind Yinxin Casino is not weaker than that of Yangzhou Casino.In this case, Yangzhou Casino can only follow the rules.Of course, Yangzhou casinos can also announce the suspension of business and the like.But this in itself is an expression of admitting defeat, and you can't always close the door!

After a while, the middle-aged man looked at Ye Chen who was as silent as a stone, and said in a harmonious voice, "Guest, are you sure?"

Ye Chen nodded.

Of course, betting on the leopard wins a lot. In addition to the normal wins, the casino has to pay double the money to the winner.It's just that the probability of a leopard is too small. Even the most daring gamblers in this game would not dare to bet with Ye Chen.While everyone was watching, the middle-aged man put his palm on the dice cup but did not open it for a long time, as if the dice cup was as heavy as a mountain. Suddenly he raised his head to look at Ye Chen, and sighed long, but there was a smile on his face. Overjoyed, he said, "Your Excellency! Second Master Bai is here to invite you."

In any case, although Wan Guan has a lot of money, it is nothing compared to the young man in front of him helping the Yangzhou Casino to overcome the current predicament.And as long as I can introduce the young man in front of me to Second Master Bai, it will be considered a great achievement.Otherwise, how dare he invite Ye Chen for Second Master Bai.

The middle-aged man never opened the dice cup, and Ye Chen knew that the leopard under the dice cup was not done by accident, but was shaken out by the middle-aged man in front of him.But that's not the point, the point is what the middle-aged man just said.

Ye Chen frowned deeply, wondering if what Kou Yuzhu heard was wrong?Fifteen thousand money, the casino can't afford to lose?It's a pity that he can't speak, otherwise he can make insinuations.Or simply say that this game is over, and then turn around and leave.

Ye Chen hesitated for a moment, nodded, got up and left the gambling table, the middle-aged man extended his right hand in a friendly way, and led the way for him.The attitude of the middle-aged man made Ye Chen feel vaguely guessed, but at the same time he felt relieved.

Passing through a corridor, there is a door at the end, Ye Chen was led here, the middle-aged man asked him to wait, and went in to report by himself.

Not long after, a middle-aged man and a slightly fat man who looked to be in his forties, with surprise in his eyes, walked out of the door.

"This is Erye Bai, the big boss of our casino." The middle-aged man said.

Ye Chen carefully looked at Bai Erye, the big boss of Yangzhou Casino, and nodded.

Ye Chen looked so arrogant that the middle-aged man and Bai Erye frowned slightly, but soon regained their enthusiasm and drew Ye Chen into the box.

Ye Chen hated himself more and more for not being able to speak, otherwise he would be in such trouble.

There is a luxuriously decorated box behind the door. As soon as the door is closed, the noisy sound from the casino at the end of the corridor disappears immediately.

Leading Ye Chen to sit down, the middle-aged croupier stood aside, the second master Bai stared at Ye Chen, and said slowly: "Now the world has really changed. In recent years, many masters of the rivers and lakes have come to Southern Tang to hang out. Well, it's not a big deal for all the forces to send people to Yangzhou to look for that Xiang Fubo these days. However, such rare people as Your Excellency and Hu San come to the casino to win money. This kind of thing is considered once in a hundred years .”

Seeing that Ye Chen was still silent, Second Master Bai thought that the real aliens in the rumors had weird personalities, which seemed to be true.Or is this young man... dumb?
"Your Excellency stooped to come to my Yangzhou gambling shop to win money. Naturally, you are in a hurry to use the money."

Ye Chen nodded.

"But coming to the casino to win money, after all, you lose your status."

"I will now give you a chance to get a lot of money without losing your status. I wonder if you would like it?"

Ye Chen sighed in his heart and shook his head first.

The big boss was a little surprised on the top, wondering if he is really dumb, he thought so, and then said: "Your Excellency can't talk?"

Ye Chen nodded.

The big boss and the middle-aged croupier looked at each other, thinking that he was really a mute, no wonder he kept silent.

"I want to make a deal with you, if you agree, just nod."

Ye Chen nodded.

"Your Excellency may be short of money, so you condescend to come to the casino to win money, but this is after all a loss of your status."

"Now I will give you a chance to get a lot of money without losing your status. I wonder if you would like it?" Second Master Bai repeated what he said just now.

Ye Chen sighed in his heart, thinking that the casino really wanted to recruit him, he shook his head.Then got up and walked out.

Bai Erye and the middle-aged croupier suddenly turned ugly.

Ye Chen opened the door by himself, and two big men in green clothes blocked him at the door.But he looked at Second Master Bai behind Ye Chen.

"Your Excellency, go back and think about it carefully. If you change your mind, you can come to the casino to find me at any time." Second Master Bai took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said lightly.With his status in Yangzhou, if he didn't need this dumb young man for an urgent matter, how could he be so polite to him.However, once the anger has arisen, the attitude towards the dumb youth will naturally change.

Ye Chen didn't respond, the two big men moved away and let Ye Chen walk over.

When the middle-aged croupier brought Ye Chen into the box before, he had ordered people to exchange all Ye Chen's chips plus the last winning chip into money, and waited for Ye Chen to take it.

Ye Chen came to the counter, and the Tsing Yi shopkeeper behind the counter took a look and followed Ye Chen out to find the middle-aged croupier, saying: "The coins have been loaded on the wagon in the backyard, you only need to pay the shipping fee, and you can let the dealers in our workshop pay for it." I will help you transport it back to your home. However, there are gold and silver in this workshop, if you are willing, we can exchange them for gold and silver so that you can carry them with you.”

Ye Chen began to hate himself for not being able to speak. He had never been a dumb person, so he didn't know the depression and eagerness in Ye Chen's heart at this time.

Fortunately, the middle-aged dealer next to him was very winking, and he already knew that Ye Chen was dumb, so he helped Ye Chen out.

"Do you want coins?"

Ye Chen shook his head.

"I want silver."

Ye Chen shook his head again.

"Prepare 150 taels of gold and [-] guan coins for this little brother to take away." The middle-aged man finally said.

Ye Chen nodded gratefully to the middle-aged croupier, thinking that he must heal his throat as soon as possible, the feeling of not being able to speak is too uncomfortable.

In the private room, Second Master Bai said to a man in front of him who was wearing a green cloth gown, who seemed to be a failed scholar: "Find out everything about him, especially everything he cares about, including people and things."

Ye Chen couldn't wait to heal his throat, so he left the gambling house and went directly to Slender West Lake.

However, he has already thought about it, if his throat can't be cured in a short time, he will immediately find a way to go back to Song Dynasty and Kaifeng.He had a vague feeling that the big boss of the gambling shop, Bai Erye, was not a good person, and he would not let him go in all likelihood. He was afraid of the other party, but if there was a conflict, it would easily attract more people's attention. , thus revealing his identity more easily.

There is only one island in the Slender West Lake. With Ye Chen's extraordinary eyesight, he can faintly see a courtyard on the island with ancient and grand buildings.

On this side of the lake where Ye Chen's club is located, there is a tavern also called the Ferryboat Restaurant.

When Ye Chen walked into the ferry restaurant, there were only two people in the small tavern.

A well-dressed young man, very drunk, crawled on the only table in the tavern, on which was a sword.Another person who was not drunk was looking at him shaking his head and sighing.

Because the person was crawling, Ye Chen couldn't see clearly, but he recognized the sword, and the person turned out to be Bai Canghai.

The person who was not drunk was the owner of the tavern. He was a little short in stature, but had a very strange face and head shape. When Ye Chen saw this person, he immediately thought of two animals—rats and bats.Because this person looks too much like a mouse or a bat.If it wasn't for Ye Chen's belief that there are no monsters in this world, he would have thought this person was a rat demon or a bat demon!
This person waited for a long time and saw that Ye Chen did not speak, so he frowned and said: "You are dumb! What are you doing here, and you don't say anything."

Ye Chen nodded, then took out a bag containing 100 taels of gold from his arms, and placed it on the counter that took up half of the space in the tavern.

Seeing this, the owner of the tavern was slightly taken aback, looked at Ye Chen strangely, and said, "You're really dumb."

Bai Canghai was startled awake, looked up at Ye Chen, and said, "So it's you, come here! I'll buy you a drink."
