"What? Liu Qiaoer went to the gambling house?" Lu Yunzheng angrily threw the book on the table and stood up.
"No one in our Lu family is allowed to go to the gambling house. Doesn't she understand this rule?"
Seeing that Lu Yunzheng was angry, Xia Ying quickly spoke up for Liu Qiaoer: "She is just a child, curious. Besides, the master also said that a little gambling can make people happy..."
Lu Yunzheng's face turned pale, his lips were pursed, and his eyes were sharp.
"She didn't want to come into the mansion, so I thought she was just trying to take care of her sister, but I didn't expect her to be so presumptuous. Come on, let's go and take a look."
The name of the gambling house is very good, Fuyun Gambling House.
It seems that anyone who comes to the gambling house will have good luck.
But only those who have lost miserably can understand that gambling is not about luck, but about cheating.
Liu Qiaoer has been here for several days.
At the beginning, she just won some small money, then discovered the tricks in the gambling house. She returned to her space and created a small gambling program on her computer.
As long as she starts gambling here, the small program in the space will run and she can know the result, so she can guess every round.
This time, when she came in again, she was not so polite.
The people in the gambling house had known her for a long time. When she arrived, everyone started whispering to each other, and some even followed her in placing bets.
"Hey, the girl is here. What are you going to do today?"
"The girl presses that, so let's press that. Following the girl will bring good fortune."
Liu Qiaoer sneered twice: "Very good, but today, I want to win back their gambling house."
The owner of the gambling house was unhappy. He held two snow-white stones in his left hand and turned them around. He put his right hand behind his back and looked at Liu Qiaoer with a sharp and disdainful look.
"Manager Zhao, don't be unhappy. No matter if the Su family is the owner of the gambling house or I am the owner, you are the owner in the end. It doesn't matter who you work for. If you follow me, you may get better treatment."
Liu Qiaoer came prepared today, and the robot Long Batian in the space was her assistant.
She started with the gambling house until she had taken over all of the Su family's assets and drove the Su family out of Fengxin County.
Although the Su family is a relative of County Magistrate Lu, they are doing their utmost to backstab the Lu family. So she will buy out the Su family for Lu Yunzheng, and the rest will be left to Lu Yunzheng.
Some common gambling games in gambling houses include guessing size, guessing odd or even, rolling dice, etc.
Shopkeeper Zhao knew that ordinary people could not deal with Liu Qiaoer, so he called the masters in the workshop over.
"Okay, since the girl is here to challenge us today, let's compete according to the rules."
The rules of the gambling house are to play two out of three games. In the first game, you guess odd or even. In the second game, you compare the size. The third game is to roll the dice. The bet is increased in each game. The first game is doubled. In the second game, the bet is quadrupled. In the third game, the bet is eightfold.
If the winner is a gambling house, then the person who challenged the gambling house must pay money. If he has no money, he can only pay with his life.
If the challenger wins, the gambling house will be auctioned off by the Chamber of Commerce of Fengxin County, with the base price of five hundred taels, which will gradually increase.
Basically, if he wins all three games, he can buy the entire gambling house, or even more than enough, because the people who challenge him all have high backgrounds and no one dares to mess with them, and basically, in the end the gambling house belongs to him.
Liu Qiaoer would only take action after finding out everything clearly.
"Okay, come on then."
In the first round, guessing odd or even is a competition of speed. If the person who guesses first guesses odd, the person who guesses later can only guess even. The person who guesses correctly in the end wins, because the person who guessed first may not be correct.
A basket of small stones is poured onto the table. To be fair, each spectator can take one or two stones. When the shopkeeper shouts "start", they can start guessing.
This was no problem for Liu Qiaoer at all. As soon as the shopkeeper shouted, Long Batian's electronic cigarette in the space locked onto all the stones on the table and produced the result in one second.
In the first game, as expected, Liu Qiaoer won.
In the second round, both players roll the dice, and whoever gets the bigger number wins.
When Liu Qiaoer came a few times before, she specifically stole a deck of dice from them and found that it was filled with mercury. The mercury was on the side with lighter points, so the side with larger points naturally faced up.
Liu Qiaoer also did something. Although the dice were prepared by the gambling house, Liu Qiaoer could exchange them for her own set through her sleeve pocket.
But if both sides have 18 points, it is a draw, and in a tie the casino wins.
Liu Qiaoer began to shake the dice vigorously, and heard a "click" sound from inside. She pressed the dice tube onto the table with a "dong".
The other party opened it and saw three neatly arranged sixes.
Just when everyone thought that Liu Qiaoer had lost, Liu Qiaoer slowly opened the bamboo tube and saw three neatly arranged sixes inside.
However, one of the dice cracked, and the bottom dot was left alone outside.
Just like that, in the second game, Liu Qiaoer scored a little more than her opponent and won.
The third game was about to begin, when suddenly, a loud and clear shout was heard from outside.
"It's really lively here. I heard that someone came to the gambling house to challenge it today. I have never seen anything like this in my life. Let me broaden my horizons."
As he spoke, Su Mingyu, who was dressed as flamboyantly as a peacock, brought a group of his men and surrounded the entire gambling house in an instant.
Now all the people who came to watch the fun scattered like birds and beasts.
The only people left in the gambling house were Liu Qiaoer and everyone else in Su Mingyu's gambling house.
This situation was obviously not good, because no matter whether Liu Qiaoer won or lost today, she would not be able to leave the gambling house.
Without preparation, Liu Qiaoer would not come.
And she also expected that with such a big commotion, Su Mingyu would definitely come.
But when Su Mingyu arrived and saw Liu Qiaoer, she frowned and thought for a long time, but she didn't even know who she was.
Liu Qiao'er didn't care. She crossed her arms and looked at him with a smile. Her round eyes were as cold as ice: "What do you mean? Do you want me to die here today?"
Su Mingyu was a little surprised that the one who challenged her was a little girl. She circled around Liu Qiao'er, looked her up and down for a long time, and then said, "You look familiar. Tell me your name. I won't kill an unknown person. Or do you actually want to be my fourth concubine?"
Liu Qiaoer snorted disdainfully: "How shameless! Last round, hurry up and compete. After the competition, this gambling house will be mine."
The gambling house harms people, but this location is quite good. Liu Qiaoer plans to convert the gambling house into a restaurant. She has already designed it, and all she needs to do is defeat Su Mingyu.
Su Mingyu didn't expect that a little maid could be so arrogant. The corners of her mouth twitched and she hooked her finger. A man in his thirties stood out from behind her. He was tall and thin, holding a very heroic bow in his hand.
"The last round is an archery competition. If you lose, I will give you this gambling house without any hesitation. If you lose, you will die."
After saying that, Su Mingyu stepped forward and touched Liu Qiaoer's chin.
Liu Qiaoer, who was very knowledgeable about cold weapons, knew at first glance that the archer was an expert.
I don't know how to compare it, but what is certain is that Su Mingyu really wants her to die.
Just when Liu Qiaoer was about to agree, another voice came from outside, clear but with a hint of anxiety.
"You can't compare it that way."
