There are many underground gambling houses in the capital, and three of them are very large. Many wealthy young men go there, and they can become rich, or they can lose everything overnight.
Yongsheng Casino is one of the three major gambling houses. I heard that their backstage is very powerful and they are members of the royal family.
But they are just rumors. After all, the few princes with status in the royal family have little power. The Celestial Empire has always prevented the royal family members from having too much real power. A prince with a false name and a few who can take both black and white have become this gambler. Zhuang's backstage.
If there is, it is King Hean.
He is now fifty. When he was young, he was also a good general who led troops into battle. He was injured and settled in the capital. He was treated well by the late emperor. With his meritorious service, he also wanted to be treated well by the current emperor.
However, he rarely appeared at palace banquets, and did not even participate in worldly affairs. There was almost no news, but his He'an Prince's Mansion was not accessible to ordinary people.
The emperor must respect him.
The reason why I chose to try my luck here is because it is easier to give money here, and you will not cause trouble for others just because you win too much.
The two walked around and finally stopped at the dice. Seeing that there were many people around, Su Yan stood there, listening to the man rolling the dice. After putting it down, he asked people to place bets.
The way to play is to compare the sizes of three dices and choose a big or small bet.
Su Yan listened to him being shaken to the ground and whispered to Gu Zhao, "Xixi Liu, big."
Gu Zhao squinted as he watched the man asking people to place bets. When the number came out, it was really a number.
Gu Zhao was a little shocked, "You are quite capable."
Su Yan was praised and suddenly felt a little proud.
After shaking again, Su Yan listened carefully and said, "Western pastry."
Sure enough, once opened, it was really one-one-two.
Gu Zhao believed her now.
After rolling the dice again, Su Yan said to Gu Zhao, "Buy a small one."
Gu Zhao put five hundred taels in.
The result made Gu Zhao cheer, the money came in so easily.
In the next round, Su Yan asked him to bet big. Gu Zhao bet a thousand taels and still won.
The banker frowned slightly and noticed the situation here, but did not step forward to intervene, but watched from the side.
After winning several times in a row, the opponent couldn't stand anymore and quickly went backstage to report to his superiors.
After Su Yan placed her last bet, Gu Zhao won 60,000, and she immediately said to Gu Zhao, "It's good to give it up, let's go out."
Otherwise, if you continue, you will cause trouble.
Gu Zhao nodded. He was not very nostalgic. It was even the first time he participated in this and he was a little nervous.
But when they went out, they were still blocked. A group of thugs held sticks to stop the two of them. Su Yan quickly hid behind Gu Zhao.
"Boss, it's this kid who keeps chattering. I don't know what kind of scammer he is." The person who made the report pointed at Su Yan and said to the man in front of him.
"I'm not cheating," Su Yan said.
"You said you don't have it? Who sent you? What do you want to do?" The man held a stick, banged his hands, and stared at her.
Gu Zhao stood in front of him with a fearless look on his face, "Brother, open your business, you can't afford to lose, you don't have the stomach for it."
"It's okay for you to be a cheater. Today we want you two to stay here with one hand and one hand." The leader snorted coldly, with a look of anger on his face, and he looked very unpleasant.
Gu Zhao was not afraid at all. He laughed, pushed Su Yan behind him, and said to the people in front of him, "Isn't it good to be friendly and make money? We are playing seriously. Since you are opening a gambling house and only allow losers but not winners, you are being overbearing. some."
"Stop talking nonsense, come on, leave that little guy for me. I want to see what abilities he has and whether he can see through the sky."
As he said that, a group of people rushed up and beat them down with sticks. Gu Zhao easily dodged and grabbed a stick to fight back. With the stick in hand, he was much more handy.
There were more than a dozen people, but they had not played a few rounds. The scene was in a mess, and the few on the ground were temporarily unable to get up.
But this is a gambling house. There is something abnormal here. How can they just sit idly by and ignore it? Then more and more people got involved, and all the gamblers ran away.
Su Yan hurriedly hid, but she was worried about Gu Zhao and was extremely upset that she had caused trouble for Gu Zhao.
A white-haired man upstairs was sitting on a wooden wheelchair, looking at the fierce battle below. Although there were many thugs, none of them were Gu Zhao's opponents.
He raised his hand slightly and asked the deputy beside him to come over. The deputy nodded and immediately waved to the people in the audience to stop. Then he pushed the white-haired man back and went down to see Gu Zhao.
The deputy stepped forward and said to Gu Zhao, "My lord, could you please lend me a moment to speak?"
Gu Zhao frowned, not wanting to go.
"I promise I won't hurt you. Let's talk to you. Our master appreciates you very much and hopes to have a good relationship with you."
After Gu Zhao went to find Su Yan, he naturally followed him into the inner room without any pretense.
Later, Gu Zhao saw a person in a wheelchair sitting behind a screen. Gu Zhao thought he looked familiar.
There is no one in the world who is so aura even though he is sitting in a wheelchair, none other than King He An.
Gu Zhao seemed to have only seen him once many years ago, when the emperor first ascended the throne. After that, the two of them had almost no interaction.
He was not in the capital, and he and King An did not participate in the palace banquet, so naturally there was no interaction with him.
But not sure if it's him.
"Sir, I offended you today. I'm just short of money, so I thought of winning some money, but I definitely didn't cheat." Gu Zhao was the first to speak.
The man laughed, his voice was full of energy and steady.
"General Gu, I admire you very much, and I also know that you are short of money. I have one hundred thousand taels here. It's a small expense, so please accept it."
When Gu Zhao heard this, he was shocked and quickly pushed away. Although it was not a bad thing to go in and out of the gambling house, it had a bad reputation after all, and he couldn't ask for the money.
"I only take the money I win, I don't want yours."
"You are short of money. I have a lot of money. I just hope you won't come here again. You won 60,000 taels in less than an hour. I will give you this money, 100,000 a month. Can you stop messing with me?" ?”
These words made Gu Zhao ashamed, which was true.
But I really can’t ask for this money.
"I'm sorry for what happened tonight. I won't come again in the future. Goodbye." After saying that, he took Su Yan away with him.
King He An came out from behind the screen and looked at the untouched banknotes on the table, thoughtfully.
The deputy came in at this time and said, "Your Majesty, Master Gu is out."
"You can still send the money to his house. It's his business whether to accept it or not." Prince He'an said with a smile.
"What if he doesn't accept it?"
"How can there be people in the world who are not greedy for money? Our emperor bullies others too much, and sooner or later his heart will be chilled. I am worried about how to win over this person, and the opportunity has been presented to me."
In this world, if it weren't for the fact that his leg was disabled, it would never have been Chu Sheng's turn to sit on the throne.
Before he died, he also fought for what originally belonged to him.
