“Junior” yawned as he waited, “Ready?”
The previous dealer, who had been listening with his ears open, laughed at his words, “How dare he bet against him with this look?
He couldn’t wait to speak, “I’ll go first.”
“Hold on!”
Gu Yi spoke, “It’s better to write it down on paper, in case you’re right and my boy is right, you’ll say it’s according to you.”
“OK.”
Someone brought over a pen and paper, and the two men each wrote down a number on the paper, then held it up for the crowd to see, one eighteen and one nineteen.
The crowd laughed as they looked to the youngest.
Three dice, the largest is six points, three at most eighteen points, where did the nineteen points appear? Where did nineteen points come from?
The Steward had a smile on his face too, “Open up.”
The dealer’s hand shook a little and before he touched the dice cup, he was stopped again by Gu Yi, “Wait!”
The dealer’s hand fell back onto the table.
Gu Yi pointed at the previous dealer, “You go ahead and open it.”
The crowd looked at him as if he were a fool. Anyone who could sit at the dealer’s table had his own tricks, and if he took this opportunity to use some tricks, Gu Yi would definitely lose.
The previous dealer was also incredulous, not knowing whether he was really stupid or not, “Really let me open?”
“I believe you.”
“Good.”
The previous dealer got up, walked over to the table, and before the dealer could give him a hint, lifted the dice cup with one hand.
The crowd let out an audible huff.
The steward’s smile froze on his face too.
Three dice were lined up, the bottom two both with sixes on them, the last one this was standing on the second, with a six on one side and a one on the other, exactly nineteen points.
The dice cup in the previous dealer’s hand fell to the ground, “How is this possible? How is it possible?”
He had clearly heard eighteen points, how could it be nineteen points.
A dead silence fell over the gambling house.
Bang!
“Little Four” pounded his hands on the table in excitement, “Young Master, we have won, I have more than 40,000 private money.”
The steward narrowed his eyes dangerously.
“Little Four” did not feel the danger approaching and held out his hand towards the steward, “Give me the money, give me the money!”
The steward put on a smile, “Two, please come with me to the house, I will let them bring you the silver tickets.”
“No need.”
Gu Yi sat still, “Just give it here, it’s getting late, we should go back for dinner.”
“This ……”
Gu Yi raised his eyes and looked over, “You guys aren’t trying to renege on the bill, are you?”
“Of course not.”
“That’s good, bring it over.”
“Wait a moment, my lord.”
The steward turned and went to that room, but in a moment came out with the silver ticket and placed it in front of Gu Yi, “Please count it, Your Excellency.”
“No need.”
Gu Yi gestured to Little Four to put them away, reassembled the silver ingots, and finally threw the remaining two ingots to Huang Si, “Thanks to you.”
Huang Si hastily caught them, overjoyed, not even reacting to what he meant by his words, “Thank you, sir, thank you, sir.”
Gu Yi got up, took the money bag and led “Xiao Si” downstairs and calmly left the gambling house.
The two men at the entrance of the gambling house were still unaware of what had happened inside and nodded to him, “Sir, come often in the future.”
Gu Yi waved his hand in the distance, and Xiao Si, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, hurriedly asked the coachman to drive the carriage over, “Young master, you’re in a hurry.”
Gu Yi gave him the money bag, “Take it.”
Xiao Si took it, the hand that fell sank down for a moment and hurriedly held it, “What’s inside?”
“Your reward money.”
“Huh?”
Little Four opened the money bag and his eyes went straight when he saw the large silver ingots inside, “Young Master, you won?”
“Mm, won just under ninety thousand taels.”
Xiao Si, ……
The two men guarding the entrance to the gambling house, ……
Upstairs, the man in the room saw the two Gu Yi get into the carriage, gestured towards the outside, and the steward hurriedly went downstairs, but a moment later, a dozen strong men armed with sticks went out from the back and chased them towards the direction the carriage had gone.
They chased them all the way to an isolated street and surrounded the carriage.
Xiao Si sat on the front carriage with his money bag in his arms, his mouth grinning in delight, not even looking at them.
There was no movement inside the carriage.
The strong men who were coming after them were about to shout when the sound of hoof beats came from behind them, and before they could turn around to look, they were all knocked to the ground.
Xiao Si jumped down from the carriage and kicked the nearest man, causing him to scream.
“You are the first ones to rob our young master, you have a lot of guts.”
The man’s face was distorted by the pressure and he looked at him in horror.
“Do you know who our young master is?”
The man tried to shake his head, but he couldn’t move at all.
“Our young master’s name is Gu, think about it with your sh*t-filled head.”
The man’s eyes snapped open.
“Come to think of it?”
The man blinked in pain.
Xiao Si lifted the money bag up, “Go back and tell your steward that our young master doesn’t care about your little bit of silver, the reason he went to the gambling house was because he didn’t like a certain person! As for who this person is? Our young master has already given a hint, it’s up to your gambling house to deal with it next, if it’s not dealt with properly, the next time our young master goes there it won’t be as simple as winning some money.”
When he finished, he sat back on the carriage with the money bag in his arms, and the carriage started slowly, with six boys riding behind.
Only when the carriage was far away did the gambler get up from the ground and wretchedly return to the gambling house, telling the steward what Xiao Si had just said.
The steward stomped upstairs with the hem of his coat and pointed at Huang Si, “Arrest him for me!”
Huang Si was given twenty taels of silver at once, and the rest of the men had long been red-eyed, so they rushed up at the word and grabbed Huang Si.
“Drag him down and beat him up, just leave his breath, and don’t allow him to come to work in the gambling house again.”
……
The carriage turned a corner and stopped in another secluded street.
Gu Yi lifted the curtain and beckoned, and six boys got off their horses and walked up to the carriage.
Gu Yi instructed Xiao Si to pour all the silver ingots onto the front carriage board, glowing silver in the sunlight.
“Want some?”
“Want to.”
The six men spoke in unison.
“Then know what to say when you get back.”
“Know.”
One of the boys returned, “The young master wanted to test our martial arts skills and brought us back on purpose.”
“You’re stupid. ……”
Xiao Si hated his iron, “If the young master wanted to test your martial arts skills, why would he need to bring you guys out?”
“Then, what should we say then?”
“Just say that Young Master wanted to smash up that gambling house, but it turned out that you were not good at martial arts and didn’t beat them.”
Six people, ……
shook their heads in unison.
Gu Yi gave Xiao Si a white look, “Your money is gone!”
“Don’t, young master.”
Little Four wailed.
Gu Yi didn’t bother to pay attention to him, “Just say that I’m afraid of the Zhang family’s retaliation and asked you to follow to protect me and Little Girl.”
