Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 159
[Chapter 159: Ruthless Turn [7000 words]]
The popular dice game in the casino is like this.
If you agree to bet against each other, one person will bet silver as a chip, and the others need to bet the same amount of silver as him, and then each person will throw the dice once, and the one with the highest score can win everyone’s silver.
If you think the first person bets too much silver, others can choose not to follow.
The young man started with ten taels of silver for the first time, and Qin Bai and another middle-aged man and an old man he chose followed suit without much hesitation. The one who
can throw the highest number of points on the three dice will win thirty taels from the others.
The young man was unlucky the first time and only threw nine points.
Qin Song threw thirteen points.
The middle-aged man and the old man threw twelve points and fourteen points respectively, and the old man won the first game.
The old man’s face was full of smiles. He took away everyone’s silver and said with a smile, “Thank you, thank you.”
In the next few games, the young man’s luck was not very good. After a while, he lost a hundred taels. Although Qin Bai, the middle-aged man and the old man had their own wins and losses, they won more than they lost. Lin Xiu’s hundred taels all fell into the pockets of the three.
When he lost the tenth game, the young man waved his hand and frowned, saying, “I don’t want to play anymore. I can see that you just want to win my silver. I can’t beat you.”
How could the few people let go of the fat sheep that they had finally let go easily? They quickly comforted him a few more times, and the young man continued. This time, the three people obviously let him win two games, and then he started to lose again.
At this time, the young man’s eyes were already a little red.
This is a sign of losing anxiously.
Not to mention that he is a fat sheep who has just entered this business, even veterans who have been immersed in this business for many years often lose anxiously, and every time at this time, they gradually lose their reason and will do something even crazier.
Sure enough, the young man’s eyes were red, and he took out a large silver note from his arms again, saying, “This time I bet one hundred taels, who dares to bet!”
The middle-aged man and the old man hesitated for a moment. The most common bet for dice here is a small bet of one tael of silver. Ten taels of silver is considered a heavy bet. Few people bet one hundred taels at a time. Although one hundred taels is not much for a truly rich person, if you bet so much at a time, you may lose thousands or even tens of thousands of taels in a short time.
Qin Song saw the hesitation of the two and said disdainfully, “Don’t bet if you don’t have money. Come on, brother, I’ll bet with you.”
The two brothers had just received ten thousand taels from Lin Xiu, which was a huge sum of money. They didn’t even have to consider the amount they didn’t dare to bet before.
The middle-aged man and the old man didn’t have the strong capital of the two brothers. If they lost one, they would have no money to bet. Although they still coveted the fat sheep, they had no choice but to withdraw.
At this time, only the young man and the Qin brothers were left at the gambling table.
After a few crisp dice collisions, the young man threw out ten points, and the Qin brothers threw out twelve points. In a short moment, one hundred taels became someone else’s.
After that, they gambled a few more times. Although the young man also won two times, it was obvious that the Qin brothers let him win two out of ten, and earned a few hundred taels from him. After
so many years in the gambling world, the Qin brothers have never been as glorious as today.
The young man had obviously completely lost his mind. After losing another hand, he took out all the banknotes in his sleeves, pressed them on the table, and said: “I’m going to bet all this time. The victory or defeat depends on this hand!”
A waiter at the casino counted these banknotes, and found that there were more than five thousand taels.
At this time, the situation here has attracted the attention of most of the gamblers present.
They looked at the young man with red eyes and heavy breathing, and understood that he had lost his money.
How many people like him have lost everything here.
He is not the first, nor the last.
These people didn’t pity him, they just felt sorry that they finally met such a big fat sheep, but couldn’t kill it themselves because they didn’t have enough silver, which made them feel infinitely aggrieved and depressed.
A gamble of five thousand taels was very rare even in Xiaoyao Pavilion. The two brothers opposite probably couldn’t afford it, right?
They didn’t look like people who could afford five thousand taels of silver.
The brothers Qin Song and Qin Bai looked at each other and saw hesitation in each other’s eyes.
Five thousand taels, they really have it.
Not to mention five thousand taels, they have ten thousand taels.
But even if they have money, they can’t make up their minds to bet half of it at once.
After all, they have only gambled five or ten taels of silver before, and have never seen such a big scene.
At this time, the young man looked at them and asked, “Do you dare to bet? If you don’t dare to bet, forget it!”
Qin Song snorted coldly and said, “Betting, what is there to be afraid of?”
The two brothers now have a cash cow, and the ten thousand taels are also free. If they win this time, five thousand taels can become ten thousand taels, which is enough for them to live happily for a long time.
Betting dice with this fat sheep is a must-win game.
Qin Song counted out five thousand taels of silver notes neatly, slapped them on the table, and said, “We bet with you!”
The young man, who had lost his eyes, couldn’t wait to throw out three dice. After the dice spun and tumbled, they gradually stopped.
The points of the three dice were three, three, and two.
Eight points.
The Qin brothers almost laughed out loud. They have been playing dice for so long, even if they throw with their feet, they can throw more than ten points. Isn’t this five thousand taels of silver a free gift?
The young man obviously realized this, his face turned pale, he looked at the two brothers and asked, “How about we not gamble anymore? Five thousand taels is really too much…”
How could the Qin brothers let him go so easily? Qin Song laughed and said, “Brother, this is your first time here, right? You can’t regret it if you make a bet. Besides, I haven’t even thrown it yet, how do you know that you will lose?” After that
, he picked up three dice and threw them out. After
playing dice for many years, he had already trained himself to throw more than ten points at random. How could he lose?
In this gambling game, the silver bills on the gambling table were as much as ten thousand taels. Everyone stared at the three dice. After the dice rolled for a while, they slowly stopped, and the points on the top were two, two, and three.
Seven points.
Seeing this, the young man showed an ecstatic look on his face and shouted: “I won, I won!”
The Qin brothers looked incredulous. Qin Song was even more shocked. He looked at the young man and said angrily: “This is impossible, are you cheating?”
Hearing this, the young man seemed to have suffered a great humiliation. He clenched his fists, and a ball of fire appeared on his hands. He said coldly: “If you win, you win. If I win, I cheat. How can this be true? Everyone saw it just now. I didn’t even touch the table…”
Everyone did see that the young man was still some distance away from the gambling table just now,
and it was unlikely that he would do anything. Although some special abilities can indeed cheat, they must be able to control objects or telekinesis. His ability is fire, and he has no ability to cheat. It is clear that the two brothers can’t afford to lose.
When it comes to throwing dice, no one can guarantee that they can throw high points every time. Even the most proficient gamblers can make mistakes.
At this time, several men came to the door of the casino. After asking about the incident, they looked at the Qin brothers and said, “If you are willing to gamble, you will accept the loss. No one is allowed to make trouble here, otherwise don’t blame us for being rude.”
Qin Song just couldn’t accept it just now. No one could accept losing five thousand taels at once.
Watching the young man take away the silver note that should have belonged to him with great depression, Qin Song felt his blood boiling and said, “Do you dare to gamble again?” But
the young man shook his head decisively and said, “No, I was just lucky just now. I can’t beat you at dice. I’m going to lose it all soon.”
Qin Song was speechless for a moment. This guy was so decisive. Their ten thousand taels of silver hadn’t even warmed up yet, and it was already half gone…
He just wanted to win his money back. Upon hearing this, he immediately said, “It’s okay not to gamble at dice. Let’s go to the second floor for cockfighting and cricket fighting. How can we just leave after winning money?”
“Cockfighting and cricket fighting?” The young man became interested when he heard it, and said, “It sounds interesting. Let’s go and have a look…”
Lin Xiu had never been to a casino before. He didn’t know there were so many things to do here. There were people gambling at dice, playing cards, cockfighting, and cricket fighting…
Isn’t this his ATM?
Zhao Lingjun’s telekinesis allows him to be invincible in dice. As for cockfighting and cricket fighting, for him, what is the difference between being a contestant and a referee? Whichever
chicken he wants to lose, the chicken must lose. Whichever cricket is brave enough to disobey his orders, even if Lin Xiu chooses crickets and the Qin brothers choose chickens, they will lose. They
are definitely two boys who deliver wealth.
The Qin brothers have been hanging around in casinos for many years and are familiar with various gambling methods. In addition to dice, one of the two brothers is good at selecting cockfighting and the other is good at identifying crickets.
When encountering the same master, who wins and who loses depends on luck.
But when encountering such a novice, cockfighting and cricket fighting are less suspenseful than rolling dice. Fighting
cocks are raised by casinos. Dozens of chickens are locked in cages. From the outside, they are all equally majestic and powerful, and outsiders can’t see the tricks at all.
The Qin brothers and Lin Xiu each chose a chicken. Qin Song almost laughed in his heart when he saw the chicken Lin Xiu chose.
The bigger the fighting cock, the better. When choosing a fighting cock, you should look at the head, the crown, the beak, and the legs. The head should be small, the crown should be straight, the beak should be sharp, the thighs should be thick, and the calves should be thin. No matter how you look at it, he chose the best chickens.
But the one Lin Xiu chose was just a weak chicken with a strong appearance but a weak heart.
In less than a cup of tea, Lin Xiu’s chicken would be pecked into a bald chicken by his chicken.
Qin Song said to Lin Xiu: “This time I’ll bet one thousand taels.”
Lin Xiu said: “Two thousand taels.”
Qin Song was sure of winning, and immediately said: “Two thousand taels is two thousand taels.”
After a moment, Qin Song’s eyes almost popped out when he saw his fighting cock lying on the ground, while Lin Xiu’s chicken stood on his fighting cock and showed off his power. Lin
Xiu accepted the two thousand taels of silver notes and said: “It seems that your ability to choose chickens is not as good as mine…”
Another moment.
Qin Song and Qin Bai lay on the ground, looking at the two crickets in the box, and said anxiously: “Bite it to death, bite it to death!”
But no matter how they encouraged, their cricket was still defeated, and even had several legs bitten off by the cricket on the opposite side, ending in a miserable defeat.
Qin Song’s eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and looked at the young man opposite, saying: “You are lucky these two times, let’s go play cards!”
The young man looked at the Qin brothers and asked lightly: “Do you still have money to bet with me?”
Qin Song touched his sleeves and his face turned pale instantly. The 10,000 taels of silver notes he had just received had not been warmed up on his body, and he lost all his money…
In a moment, he lost 10,000 taels. The brothers Qin Song and Qin Bai were at a loss, and even their thinking stopped working, and they couldn’t say a word for a long time.
Although they often lost money before, they had never lost so much.
This 10,000 taels of silver came quickly and went even faster.
At this time, all the gamblers also saw something wrong.
Being able to win 10,000 taels from the two brothers by using three gambling methods, this cannot be explained by simple luck. Perhaps this was originally a gambling master, and he just pretended to be a fat sheep at the beginning just to let them relax their vigilance.
Facts have proved that the fat sheep is someone else.
Everyone was fooled by his superb acting skills. He was not only a master in gambling, but also had a meticulous control over people’s hearts.
A waiter from the casino walked up to Lin Xiu and said respectfully, “This guest, our shopkeeper, please go to the third floor for a cup of tea.”
Lin Xiu glanced at the Qin brothers who were standing there in a daze, and followed the waiter to the third floor.
The third floor of the casino was a quiet and elegant pavilion. A middle-aged man sat behind the table, looking at Lin Xiu.
As his eyes came over, a strong sense of oppression also came over him.
The waiter’s face turned pale, and he took a few steps back and stood firm on the stairs.
Lin Xiu stood there, motionless, and looked into the eyes of the middle-aged man, his expression calm.
Anyone who can open a casino in such a place must be a powerful person in the capital, and even the shopkeeper he invited is a ground-level warrior.
The middle-aged man was slightly shocked. Even he could not see through the strength of the young man in front of him. He smiled and said, “Your Excellency is very clever. In just a short while, you have earned 10,000 taels of silver.”
Lin Xiu smiled and said, “It’s just luck. I am not like the shopkeeper who sits here every day and also has a lot of silver.”
The casino will take 500 taels of the 10,000 taels he won from the Qin brothers. This is completely a free bet. It is easy to make money in any business.
The Qin brothers’ money is all Lin Xiu’s, which means he lost 500 taels for nothing. The middle-aged
man asked the servant to serve Lin Xiu a cup of tea and said, “I don’t know your name, please forgive me for my poor eyesight. I didn’t recognize which noble family you belong to.”
Lin Xiu glanced at him and asked, “Does your casino have a rule of investigating the origins of guests?”
The middle-aged man smiled and said, “That’s not the case. I just see that you have an extraordinary demeanor.
You must not be an ordinary person. I just want to make friends with you.” Lin Xiu said, “Then you are wrong. I’m just an ordinary person, not the son of some noble family.”
The middle-aged man said, “Even if you are not the son of some noble family, we can still make friends.”
Lin Xiu bowed to him and said, “Daniel Wu of Dongcheng, nice to meet you.”
The middle-aged man also bowed and said, “My name is He Sheng, and I’m the owner of Xiaoyao Pavilion Casino. It’s a fate that I meet Brother Wu today.”
After that, he said to the servant at the door, “Go and return Brother Wu’s share today to Young Master Wu. Since we first meet, just consider it as a small gift to Young Master Wu.”
The servant quickly went downstairs and returned the five hundred taels of silver he had taken from Lin Xiu to him.
Lin Xiu certainly would not refuse this. It was his own money, but it was just passed through other people’s hands, and he lost 500 taels. He also felt distressed.
As for the intention of the casino owner, whether to get acquainted or to win over, it was not important to him. After today, this face would never appear in this world again.
After the two of them had a pleasant chat, Lin Xiu asked to leave.
The middle-aged man personally sent him to the stairs.
After Lin Xiu left, the servant asked the middle-aged man, “Shopkeeper, why do you want to give him the silver?”
He Sheng stroked the short beard on his chin and said, “This person has some tricks. It’s beneficial to make a good relationship with him when we meet for the first time.”
It is not a good thing for the casino to meet such a person with superb gambling skills.
Although the more he earns, the more commission the casino will get, but if there is a person who only wins and never loses, and patronizes their casino every day, will there be other guests coming here again?
This kind of person is the most unwelcome in all casinos.
At first, He Sheng wanted to give this person some warnings. After realizing that this person was not weak, he changed his strategy. Instead of tearing his face, it is better to turn enemies into friends. This time, he gave him face. If he embarrasses their casino next time, it means that he does not know the rules.
At that time, they can take some special measures.
The servant said again: “Do you want someone to investigate him?”
He Sheng waved his hand and said: “It’s useless. The name he gave me must not be true. If he comes here next time, just report to me as soon as possible.”
“Yes.”
The servant nodded, and then went downstairs to get busy.
At this time, the Qin brothers had also walked out of Xiaoyao Pavilion.
Qin Bai stood on the street and felt like he was dreaming.
Half an hour ago, they didn’t have a penny on them, and now they still don’t have a penny, exactly the same as half an hour ago. This even made him doubt whether they had the 10,000 taels of silver.
Treating others as fat sheep, little did they know that the fat sheep turned out to be themselves.
Qin Bai looked at his elder brother beside him and asked, “Brother, what should we do now?”
Qin Song also had a face full of regret and said, “I will never gamble again. This money is used for prostitution, eating, drinking and having fun, and buying immortal powder. It is enough for us to enjoy ourselves for a long time, but it is gone. I am too unwilling. If I gamble again in the future, I will be a dog!”
Qin Bai said nervously, “I am talking about the 10,000 taels of silver we borrowed from that guy. We have to return it to him in three days. Where can we get the money to return it to him?”
Qin Song glanced at him and said, “What are you afraid of? Why should we return the silver we borrowed with our own ability? He is with that little bitch, and he is our brother-in-law. Didn’t you hear him call me brother-in-law?”
Qin Bai thought about it. They did this kind of thing before. There were many people pursuing Qin Wan in the Yishu Academy. They borrowed a lot of silver from those people and never paid it back.
However, at that time, they borrowed ten or dozens of taels, and never borrowed so much.
But Lin Xiu was not short of money at all. For him, 10,000 taels was just a drop in the bucket. Seeing that they were all family members, he would definitely not care about them.
The ten thousand taels came without any effort, and they were not that sad to lose. The two of them just felt a little sorry, and soon began to plan. After a few days, they would find another opportunity to borrow a few thousand taels from Lin Xiu.
Among Qin Wan’s countless suitors, he was the richest. The two brothers still regretted why Lin Xiu didn’t take a fancy to her earlier, so that they would have escaped from the sea of suffering.
At this time, Lin Xiu, who had regained his original appearance, also returned to the mansion.
After a long circle, the silver lent to the two brothers returned to his hands, and Lin Xiu immediately felt comfortable.
However, Zhao Lingjun became a generation of genius with such a powerful ability of telekinesis, but he used it to cheat, which was really a bit low.
After this breakthrough, the process of copying his abilities was very smooth. In just a few days, he had obtained three abilities. If the number of abilities he could copy did not break through this time, he would only have one ability left to copy before he was promoted to the earth level.
The choice of this ability should be more cautious than the previous ones.
Once the position of the last ability is occupied, if he encounters the ability he likes again, he may miss the opportunity.
Therefore, Lin Xiu planned to put Qin Wan’s ability aside for the future.
She was right beside him, and he couldn’t run away. There was plenty of time to plan slowly in the future. At present, he had no effective way. Qin Wan looked easy to approach, but if you get too close, you will find that she is a hedgehog. If you want to eat her, you have nowhere to bite.
However, Lin Xiu still planned to help her solve the Qin family’s affairs first.
Qin Wan’s current situation, she herself did not feel bad, but Lin Xiu felt bad when he saw it. To some extent, she and Lin Xiu in the previous life were in the same boat, and even worse than him in the previous life. This made Lin Xiu angry every time he saw the Qin brothers bullying her.
Three days passed in a blink of an eye. Today was the day for Lin Xiu to collect debts.
The IOU of the brothers Qin Song and Qin Bai clearly stated the amount of silver borrowed, the repayment period, and the fingerprints of the two people. It was natural to pay back debts. This IOU was protected by law. Worried that they would not pay back the money, Lin Xiu even brought the officials of the Qingli Division.
Walking and chatting with Liu Qingfeng, he heard him say that with the incentive of silver, the detectives of the Qingli Division have been very enthusiastic about handling cases recently, and the Qingli Division has also accumulated a lot of good reputation among the people.
Lin Xiu always had a smile on his face. Although he and A Ke were from different places and had different identities, they were all heading in the same direction and working silently for the same goal.
Thinking of A Ke, Lin Xiu couldn’t help but miss her.
He didn’t know where she was now, whether she ate well, slept well, or was injured. Without him by her side, there was no one to help her remove the scars. She kept saying that the children of the rivers and lakes were not bound by rules, but in fact she still cared about these things…
…
Jian’an Bo’s Mansion is also in the East City. It’s just a moment away from the Qingli Division.
This is a three-story house. It is not in the most prosperous area of East City, but the location is not bad. It is more than enough to sell it for 20,000 or 30,000 taels.
As a second-class mansion, the Qin Mansion did not even have a doorman or servants at the gate. Lin Xiu and Liu Qingfeng walked in from the gate and walked to the front yard, where they saw people from the Qin Mansion having lunch.
In the front hall, Qin Song, Qin Bai, and a middle-aged man and woman were sitting at the table eating, while another figure was washing clothes in the yard. Qin Wan looked up and was stunned for a moment before slowly standing up.
At this time, the people eating in the hall also noticed the newcomers, and hurriedly got up and came to the yard. When
Qin Song and Qin Bai saw Lin Xiu, they were shocked. Qin Song ran over in two or three steps and said with a smile, “Brother-in-law, why are you here…”
Lin Xiu glanced at him indifferently and said lightly, “Who is your brother-in-law, Qin Song and Qin Bai, it’s time to pay back the money.” Qin
Song looked at Lin Xiu in astonishment, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Three days ago, the two of them were still calling each other “brother-in-law” and “brother-in-law” affectionately. How could he turn his face and disrespect people after only three days?
At this time, Jian’an Bo and his wife also hurried out. Jian’an Bo asked, “Who are you and what are you doing in my Qin Mansion?”
Lin Xiu looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and said, “Your two sons owe me ten thousand taels of silver. I am here to ask them to pay back the money.”
Jian’an Bo asked, “How much do they owe you?”
Lin Xiu said, “No more, no less, exactly ten thousand taels.”
“Ten thousand taels!”
Hearing this number, Jian’an Bo was shocked. He looked at the two brothers Qin Song and Qin Bai and asked, “Is what he said true?”
Qin Song nodded helplessly.
Jian’an Bo was shocked and angry. He asked the two brothers, “Why did you borrow so much silver? Where is the silver?”
Qin Song lowered his head and said, “All, all lost…”
Jian’an Bo almost couldn’t breathe when he heard this, and his face turned from rosy to purple.
He pointed at the two brothers, his arms trembling, and gritted his teeth and said, “Rebellious sons, you two rebellious sons!”
Lin Xiu shook the loan note in front of Jian’an Bo’s eyes and said, “It’s written in black and white. Three days ago, they borrowed 10,000 taels of silver from me. Today is the deadline for repayment.”
Jian’an Bo said angrily, “Why did you lend them so much silver!”
Lin Xiu glanced at him. Why did he lend money to Qin Song and his brother? Of course, it was for their sister.
However, he couldn’t say this clearly, but smiled and said, “I never ask where the money I borrowed goes. Whether they gambled or spent it, it has nothing to do with me. As long as they can pay it back on time, it’s fine.”
Jian’an Bo said angrily, “10,000 taels of silver, where can we get so much money to give you!”
Lin Xiu’s eyes swept over Qin Wan, then looked at Jian’an Bo again, and said, “I’m not unreasonable. It’s okay if I don’t have money. Think about it carefully. What else can you use to pay off the debt…”
(ps: Warm reminder, gambling is harmful to people. Everyone must stay away from it. Refuse gambling and drugs, starting with me.)
