Chapter 14 Zhao Ran¡¯s overnight wealth

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Zhao Ran stared at Jin Jiu and Zhang Ze carefully, and the two picked up the cards and started to collect their own cards.  He didn't understand the rules of Pai Gow, nor did he know how the two of them should match up the cards, but he knew the key point, so his eyes were firmly focused on the two's fingers.

    Suddenly, Zhao Ran's heart moved, and his eyes quickly focused on Jin Jiu's right hand holding the cards. At this moment, he felt that his sight suddenly passed through the crowd of Taoist priests, and quickly pulled the distance between himself and the other party to an extremely close distance.  place, so close that it was as if Jin Jiu's thumb and index finger were right in front of his eyes, instantly magnified and occupying the entire field of vision.

    He saw Jin Jiu's two fingers gently pressing down on the edge of the wooden sign. At the same time, he seemed to hear a "click" sound coming from the wooden sign.

    There is one!  Zhao Ran was inexplicably excited, waiting anxiously for the result of the cards.

    A burst of lamentation sounded, Guan Er tied with Zhang Ze and lost to Jin Jiu.  This is the first time he has lost!

    Because there were so many silver taels on the banker's side of the betting table, Zhao Ran really made a lot of money with this one. The croupier allocated the silver taels that were bet on the banker's side and distributed them to the winners in proportion.  Zhao Ran made five taels in one go.

    This is the turning point in tonight¡¯s gambling game. From this game on, Guan Er began to go downhill.

    Because it was impossible to predict which game Jin Jiu and Zhang Ze would win and which game they would lose, Zhao Ran did not dare to bet all at once. He steadily placed bets in three rounds, that is, based on five taels.  , the first time you bet five taels, if you win, you will bet all the money with profit. If you win again, you will bet all the money again. No matter you win or lose in the third round, you will start betting again from five taels in the next round.

    This betting method was told to him by Jiao Tan. Jiao Tan said that this would ensure that he would not be dazzled by victory at the gambling table. If he was lucky, he would also have the ability to win big money.

    Zhao Ran thought this method was very good, so he adopted it. However, unlike Jiao Tan, he knew the general trend of tonight's gambling, and if he bet on it, he could win steadily.

    Gradually, there are more and more silver coins in front of Zhao Ran. Although he sometimes loses, he wins more often.  His performance attracted the attention of several interested people, and they also began to place bets with Zhao Ran.  After Zhao Ran realized it, he deliberately lost two games to make others more confused.

    As time went by, the money Zhao Ran won became quite eye-catching, so he simply went to the dealer to exchange it for five taels and ten taels of silver notes, and he became much more low-key when placing bets.

    At the beginning of the day, Zhao Ran had more than 600 taels of silver notes in his arms. After counting, even he was surprised, and his hands and feet were trembling with excitement.

    With his current wealth, even if he doesn't hang out in Wujiyuan, he will be a rich man immediately after leaving the mountain gate.  According to the current land price, go back to Shiquan County, buy dozens of acres of good paddy fields, start a farm, buy a few domestic slaves, and then you can enjoy the rest of your life in peace!

    Looking back at the three people in the game, Jin Jiu and Zhang Ze were sneering, while Guan Er was sweating profusely on his forehead.

    Guan Er has lost all his gold, silver, and silver coins. Zhao Ran doesn't know the exact amount, but after a little calculation, he can know the approximate amount - this amount is more than one thousand taels.  !

    It is true that the Weiyuan Escort Bureau is an important cooperative industry of Daomen in Long'an Prefecture, and it is true that it earns a lot of money from it - it is said that the treasury money delivered to the Ministry of Household Affairs in Long'an Prefecture is escorted by the Weiyuan Escort Bureau all year round.  It is also true that he is the nephew of the chief escort of the Weiyuan Escort Agency, and at the same time the chief escort of the next generation.  But one thousand taels of silver is definitely not a small number. Even if Mr. Guan, the head escort, comes in person and loses one thousand taels of silver overnight, his liver will definitely tremble, let alone Guan Er!

    Guan Er put his hands on the gambling table and stared at Jin Jiu with red eyes - Jin Jiu won the most in tonight's gambling game.

    Jin Jiu sneered and asked Guan Er if he still had money. If he didn't, he asked him to leave quickly. Jin Jiu said that he had to continue playing cards with Zhang Ze and had no time to talk to Guan Er.

    This sentence is absolutely completely humiliating. How can a martial arts practitioner like Guan Er swallow such a breath?

    "Here, get a pen and paper!" Guan Er ordered. He took the apricot-yellow paper from the dealer, started writing with his pen, and after finishing writing, he put his fingerprints on it.

    "This is a farm in the east of Qingchuan County. It has 23 houses, a tea mountain, and 400 acres of paddy fields! The year before last, Zhao De, the eunuch of the Xuanwei Division, wanted to buy my farm. He offered 5,000 taels, but Guan refused. Now. Now  That's four thousand taels!" Guan Er's deep voice sounded from the gambling table, and it was so fierce that it made people shudder.

    Zhang Ze snorted coldly from the side: "As far as I know, that tea mountain is not yours, right? The tea mountain is the property of the escort agency, how can you resist it?"

    Guan Er gritted his teeth and said: "Guan is in charge of the tea mountain, and Guan has the power to deal with it!"

      Zhang Ze said unhurriedly: "It's a joke, you are so easy to talk in plain words here, but when the time comes, Mr. Guan will deny it, how can Brother Jin and I have the guts to come and reason with you?"

    Guan Er's eyes were red, and his gaze was like spitting fire: "Is the Long'an Guan family a person who talks nonsense?"

    Zhang Ze and Jin Jiu looked at each other, and Jin Jiu coughed: "Well, it's empty talk. You can place bets on this tea mountain, but you have to use items as collateral."

    "What do you want?"

    Jin Jiu laughed, his expression becoming more and more vulgar: "I heard that Brother Guan got married before he entered Wuji Courtyard. I also heard that the beauty of Guan's wife was crowned Long'an"

    The veins on Guan Er's forehead popped out, and he was about to burst with laughter. He glared at Jin Jiu and shouted: "How dare you, rat!"

    Jin Jiu made a "cut" sound and said disdainfully: "A man, a real man, treats women as if they are nothing. How can there be so much love between sons and daughters? Since Brother Guan doesn't want to, then forget it, retreat quickly, don't delay me and my husband."  Brother Zhang is playing cards!¡±

    Guan Er was already unable to stop, so after being so excited, after a little hesitation, he finally agreed.

    "Okay! Brother Guan is indeed a good man. Your signature will be worth four thousand taels of silver! Brother Guan, do you want to take your time and play, or should we decide the outcome in one round?"

    ¡°It¡¯s just one round, I¡¯m afraid of you!¡± Guan Er no longer cares.

    As soon as Zhao Ran heard Guan Er's promise, he couldn't help but feel sad for him.  In his opinion, this conversation was completely a designed trap.  Zhao Ran had already seen clearly before that Jin Jiu and Zhang Ze had already put the two problematic cards into their sleeves, and they would definitely lose this round.

    "Guan is the banker in this round!" Guan Er gritted his back molars and made a request.  Whether you sit on the banker or not has no bearing on winning or losing, but when Guan Er grabs the banker, he wants to compete for his luck.

    Guan Er was destined to have no luck, but he got an advantage over Zhao Ran. He could bet heavily on the player side without any scruples.  Zhao Ran was not polite, he bet all the more than 600 taels of silver, and the rest would depend on whether he won more or less.

    This game of cards can be described as an absolute gamble, not only for Guan Er, but also for Zhao Ran, and also for the Taoist priests in the hall.  Many people who lost their money tonight also bet all their money on this one, hoping to make a comeback in one fell swoop.  Among them were Jiao Tan and Zhou Huai. Jiao Tan bet the last twelve taels he had on his body, while Zhou Huai took a photo of the twenty taels on the betting table. Unfortunately, the two of them still bet.  It's Guan Er.

    Gambling can make people lose their minds. There are many gamblers like Jiao Tan and Zhou Huai. The more they lose, the less they believe in evil. The more they lose continuously, the more they have to bet on the same side.  They felt that even based on the chances, it was impossible to lose again, but in the end, the cards that were played were still contrary to expectations.

    What¡¯s more, the outcome of this game itself is destined!

    The result was no surprise, Zhao Ran's gambling capital more than doubled, reaching a total of one thousand five hundred taels, while Guan Er's face was ashen, with disbelief and extreme despair in his eyes.  From the perspective of Zhao Ran, who knew everything, he couldn't help but feel pity for him, feeling sorry for him and feeling unworthy.

    Guan Er staggered out of the dining hall, followed by people who had also lost all their capital, such as Jiao Tan and Zhou Huai.

    Jin Jiu and Zhang Ze continued their bet, but the rest was just a game.  Zhao Ran did not hesitate to deposit money and win the cards for a long time. The reason is very simple. Zhang Ze won less, so he could lose faster.  However, there were far fewer people who continued to place bets, so Zhao Ran did not dare to make any more big bets.  Not long after, the game was over.

    At this moment, Zhao Ran already had more than 200 taels of broken silver in front of him, and in his arms, there was a full 1,600 taels of silver notes!

    (Zhao Ran is rich, brothers, can you give me some recommendation votes? This old fan is very poor)
