Twenty-five, everyone will gamble together

The "Wynn Inn" guided the way, and everyone ran northeast along the banks of Fengxi River.

From the clerk, the head of the Nanbatian Xie family was Mr. Xie, who had ten sons and the eldest son was an official in Beijing. It seemed that he was the chief clerk of the disciple of Mr. Wei. The chief clerk Xie married his daughter to Wei Xiang as his concubine. The brothers of Mr. Xie relied on the power of Mr. Xie to become relatives with the magistrate of Shangrao County, and ran rampant in the village and fish villagers. For tens of thousands of villagers have become employers of the Xie family. They work hard every year but can only save themselves from starving to death.

Zhou Xuan asked: "How did the Xie family occupy other people's fertile land?"

The guy said: "Forcing a buy at a low price or tempting gambling, using a land deed to mortgage it. If you can't pay back the gambling debt, the land will naturally belong to his Xie family. Then the expensive profits of "9 out of 13 return", so the land will naturally become more and more. From Yongfeng Town to Xincheng Township there, tens of thousands of acres of fertile land belong to his Xie family."

Zhou Xuan asked: "What is the expensive and profitable money of 'Nine outs and thirteen returns'?"

The guy said, "Just borrowing a thousand penny, you can only get nine hundred penny, but when you pay off your debts in three months, you have to pay back 1,300 penny."

"Oh" Zhou Xuan understood that lending usury is a trick to make money. Generally, lending usury is powerful, otherwise it is easy to borrow money and it is difficult to collect debts. The Xie family is in great power. Who dares not pay it back? If you can't pay it back, you will naturally pay off your debts with the land at the price.

The guy became more and more angry as he spoke: "To be honest with Mr. Zhou, the customs of Yongfeng Town have been ruined by the Xie family, and gambling has become a trend. Many rich people who were originally from wealthy and had 100 acres of fertile land were lured by the Xie family to gamble. The family lost all their wealth. Even ordinary villagers like to gamble, and some even sell their children to gamble."

Lin Hanyun interrupted: "Hehe, no wonder Brother Zhou Xuan is good at gambling. It turns out that there is such a trend."

Zhou Xuan raised the whip and tried to slap her. Lin Hanyun smiled and shouted, "Sister, save me." But her sister snuggled in Zhou Xuan's arms and smiled and said nothing. She obviously became a group of people and colluded with each other.

With a "bang", Zhou Xuanwangkong threw a whip and said, "Then let's have a big bet. I want to see how much money the Xie family has made over the years?"

"Okay! OK!" Lin Hanyun heard that Zhou Xuan was going to bet on a big gamble, and she was full of energy.

The guy knew that Mr. Zhou was a salt merchant in Jinling and had money, so he advised him out of kindness: "Mr. Zhou should not go gamble. Many merchants entered the Xie family casino. When they came out, they were empty-handed and owed a pp debt. The Xie family casino has a ghost name. Even if they don't play with ghost name, the gamblers he hired in the casino are all masters. How can ordinary people play with them!"

Lin Hanyun smiled and said, "Don't be afraid. This young master Zhou is known as the King of Gambling in Jinling. He has never lost yet. He has won several thousand taels of silver all the way from Jinling. There is another sum of silver that you have to get all year round, tens of thousands taels a year. Isn't it amazing?"

The guy stuck out his tongue and became excited. It was nothing to do with him anyway. Look at the Jinling Gambling King fighting the Xie family casino, and said, "Then go, don't blame me if you lose money."

Zhou Xuan smiled and asked Lai Fu how much money he still has?

Lai Fu said: "There are five hundred taels left."

Zhou Xuan said: "It's enough. I started with a harmonica with a mortgage of ten taels of silver-"

"Bayin Baoqin." Lin Hanyun corrected.

Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "Yes, yes, Bayin Baoqin, I have to thank my sister Hanyun for knowing the goods, otherwise I would not be able to mortgage ten taels of silver, so how could I win money in the fight against insects?"

Lin Hanyun remembered the scene when he met Zhou Xuan gambling crickets in "Mufeng Tower" in Jiangzhou for the first time. He felt that the things in this world were really magical. Zhou Xuan, who had never known each other, is now in this way with their sisters. Seeing his sister's comfortable look leaning against Zhou Xuan's arms, Lin Hanyun was a little jealous and snorted, "You still know her well."

A bright lightning broke through the sky, and the thunder sounded from far to near was like a chariot of a god rumbled over the heads of the people, and the mountains, rivers and trees seemed to be trembling.

Lin Hanyun shouted: "Sir, run away quickly, the rain is about to fall."

The guy shouted: "Turn in from the avenue on the right and you can see Xie's Manor."

When everyone rode their horses and turned right, they saw a flat loess road with willow trees planted on both sides. The road was about two or three miles long. At the end was a large manor built against the mountain. A pink wall was exposed in the shade of green willows. There was a yard guard river, a wide-panel suspension bridge, which could be collected or placed, just like a city, and it was indeed extraordinary.

I heard the "rustling" sound behind me, and the rain fell from south to north.

Everyone was galloping rapidly and racing against the heavy rain. At this time, if you look from a high place, you can see dense rain lines pulling away from south to north like a curtain, chasing the five horses running on the loess road, and wanting to make the passengers feel cold.

Lin Hanyun ran away, screaming excitedly while Xiaoqian was also screaming. Xiahou Liusu was infected by the atmosphere and screamed sharply. This female spy was completely immersed in the role.

Fairy Jingyi's heart was beating. She had never experienced such speed. The horse's hooves were rising and falling, and the wind and lightning were flying. Xuandi held the reins with his right hand, and his left arm followed her waist, hugging her very tightly. Her back was pressed against his chest, and she could feel Xuandi's strong heartbeat.

Fairy Jingyi's whole body was soft, and she had a strong joy to vent her. She couldn't help but let out a deep and charming low moan in her throat.

I heard Brother Xuan say in her ear: "Sister, don't be afraid, you'll arrive at the manor right away. Haha, race against the rain, the rain won't run away!"

Fairy Jingyi thought: "If there is no end to this road, just keep running."

But two or three miles away, we arrived in a blink of an eye. Five horses "bang" over the Kuoban Bridge on the Guarding River. When they arrived at the gate of the manor, they saw the red lacquer gate closed.

At this time, the rain had swept over, and everyone quickly got off the horse and took shelter from the eaves of the gatehouse. He laughed and glad that he ran fast and was not wet by the rain.

Lai Fu grabbed the beast on the door and knocked on the door with a ring of the face and "dangdang" and heard a villager respond, "Who is it?"

Lai Fu shouted: "Please take shelter from the rain, please make it convenient."

There was no sound inside, and no one came to open the door. I guess I ignored him when I heard that he was sheltering from the rain.

Lai Fu was furious. He was now the chief manager of the Marquis' Mansion in Xinzhou. He was the most trusted servant of the Marquis. When the officials in the capital saw him, they would greet him with a smile, but were rejected in this remote village in a small county. The Marquis was right next to him. He couldn't even open a door. He was too shameless and seemed to be unable to do anything. So he kicked the door with his feet and shouted: "Open the door, open the door!"

The shopkeeper in the door shouted, "Get out quickly, don't let the dog bite your leg."

The Xie family was indeed arrogant and domineering. Zhou Xuan told Lai Fu to be quiet and raised his voice: "Membersman, I am a passerby. I heard that the Guizhuang is gambled and I am here to play."

The door soon opened a crack. A shopkeeper looked over and saw that there were men and women, not like merchants, but like rain in spring. However, they were dressed gorgeously, with a silver saddle in horses and a rich and noble look. The shopkeeper did not dare to speak rudely and said, "My shop cannot shelter from the rain. If you want to bet, please show money. Don't enter without money."

Lai Fu was so angry that his teeth were itchy. He took out a ingot of fifty taels of silver from the horse's bag and said angrily: "Open your eyes wide and see, what is this?"

The patrol guest's eyes lit up, and the gate of the village opened immediately and said politely: "Several guests, please, ladies."

Zhou Xuan stopped moving and ordered: "Go and get a few umbrellas."

The Marquis of Zhou is used to being generous now and has his own domineering style. The farmer was stunned for a moment and ordered other shoppers to pick up umbrellas.

A fierce barking of dogs sounded in the left ear room, and more than ten shopkeepers led a dozen big dogs to demonstrate to Zhou Xuan and others. Fairy Jingyi couldn't help but feel a little scared and shrank behind Zhou Xuan.

The three cynical approached the dogs two steps, but strangely, the dogs barked and stopped. The dogs were actually afraid of the three cynical. I really didn't expect that the five cynical killer could also be used to scare the dogs.

After a while, the shopkeeper brought two oil paper umbrellas, bamboo umbrella bones, and tung oil cloth, which spread out so big. Zhou Xuan and Sanchi each covered the others under the hall and corridor.

The shopkeeper asked before: "What do you want to bet on?"

Lin Hanyun curled his lips and said, "What are you talking about gamble? Of course, it's gamble!"

The shopkeeper said: "There are many ways to gambling in our village, including stalls of money, dice, turntables, leaf plays, quails, cocks, ducks, gooses, grass, chess, Go, and snail horn chess - anyway, if you want to play whatever you want, someone will play with you."

Zhou Xuan widened his eyes and was really varied. He asked, "How to fight against grass?"

Zhuang Ke said: "It is to use the stems and stalks of poplar leaves to compare the tenacity of each other. Pull the petioles in pairs, and whoever has a petioles breaks will lose."

Zhou Xuan staggered and almost fell down, thinking, "There are also bets on this, this is for children. My buddy is very good at playing this when he was in elementary school. It seems that this Xie's casino can bet on anything, suitable for both young and old. As long as you have money, you will be squeezed dry."

Lin Hanyun said impatiently: "Take us to bet, we have to bet in everything."

The shopkeeper said, "Then please." He led the way.

Zhou Xuan said: "Wait a minute, we didn't even have lunch. Should this casino serve wine and meals?"

The Zhuangke said: "The ones who provide wine and meals are worth eight people at a table, four meat and four vegetables, two pounds of Yongfeng Valley wine, and a total of two taels of silver are collected."

"Wynn Inn" murmured in a low voice: "It's so expensive, it's more than twice as expensive as our inn."

Zhou Xuan said: "Hurry up and prepare two tables, brush the pots and bowls a few more times, wash them clean, come and give him a hundred citations first."

Lai Fu reluctantly paid a hundred dollars to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper was jealous of money and thanked him repeatedly.

Zhou Xuan said: "Go and prepare quickly. There are two requirements: one is clean and the other is fresh. If you are satisfied, I will reward you with two taels of silver."

Zhuang Kexi said: "The villain told the kitchen to use new chopsticks and new bowls to ensure that they are clean."

Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "That's the best."

The shopkeeper diligently invited Zhou Xuan and others into the dining room to sit. He hurriedly ordered the kitchen to prepare food and drinks. He thought he had met a rich man, hehe, wait for him first, and let you lose points later.

When Sanchi saw the shopkeeper leaving, he said to Zhou Xuan: "It's a pity that my fifth brother is not here, otherwise he could sweep the casino. My fifth brother is proficient in all the gambling methods in this world."

Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "The fifth brother is the king of cheating, the third brother, you can do it too. Those who have kung fu are not a piece of cake to play those tricks. If we want to destroy the Xie casino, you have to cooperate with me."

Sanchi said, "Should the master's orders."

Lin Hanyun said: "Brother Zhou Xuan, I want to bet too."

Zhou Xuan asked: "What do you want to play?"

Lin Hanyun said: "I have never played fighting gooses. I just don't know how to fight. I don't have gooses."

Zhou Xuan said: "I guess there are several geese for you to choose one, and then fight with the dealer's goose. If you lose, you pay."

Lin Hanyun said: "I don't want to lose, I want to win."

Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "Let the third brother help you and you can win."

Sanchi nodded and said, "I am sure of this."

Zhou Xuan asked Fairy Jingyi again what she wanted to play? Fairy Jingyi smiled and said, "I won't play, let's see how Brother Xuan and Hanyun play."

Xiaoqian said: "Son-in-law, how about Xiaoqian playing with the stall? Xiaoqian has played this before, and Miss Que'er can play it too."

Zhou Xuan said: "Okay." He asked Xiahou Liusu what he was playing, and said: "Everyone will join in and win the money from Xie's casino."

Xiahou Liusu said: "Lissu can roll dice."

Zhou Xuan said in his heart: "You have good martial arts skills, so you will naturally be able to roll dice. Rolling dice is to control the severity of power." He said: "Okay, your task is to roll dice and win a thousand taels of silver."

Xiahou Liusu said in surprise: "Have you won so much? Can't you bet so big, right?"

Zhou Xuan said, "I have a way to make them gamble bigger and bigger, you have to win for me."

Xiahou Liusu nodded solemnly: "Young Master, Liusu will do his best."

Xiahou Liusu made up her mind to live up to Zhou Xuan’s trust. She wanted to please Zhou Xuan, so that she could serve him as a bed as soon as possible. Thinking about it, it was really not easy for her to devote herself and have to perform her skills, which was resentful.

Lai Fu said: "Lai Fu doesn't know how to play, Lai Fu only collects cash for his son-in-law."

The young guy from "Wynn Inn" was stunned by the side. Did Mr. Zhou and his men say it too easily? It seemed like winning money from Xie's casino was like taking things out. A small win could be. If it was a big win, I was afraid I would not be able to leave the manor gate.

After waiting for another quarter of an hour, the dishes were served, and they were also special dishes such as white-eared yellow chicken, silver geese, and Fengxi flower fish. They were cooked well, and the bowls and chopsticks were indeed new.
