For the dignitaries, the capital is full of Qin Towers, Chu Pavilions, gambling houses and wine pavilions.

But for ordinary people, these places are out of reach.

Therefore, everyone can only pay attention to what to do at sunrise and rest at sunset.

There is no way, for most people, even if you were born in the capital, you can only work for a living during the day.

For merchants and tourists who are new to the capital, entertainment in the evening is very necessary.

People can't afford to go to high-end places where only nobles can go, so they can only go to some consumption places where common people are.

For example, Long Xiaoyun's gambling shop is designed for this purpose.

They introduced merchants and tourists from north to south through the brokers who hung out in restaurants and teahouses.

The name is also very appropriate, it is called Silver Hook Gambling House.

To enter this gambling house, you have to walk through a long dark alley. At the end of the long alley is an old white lantern hanging diagonally on the door. Under the lantern is a shiny silver hook, like a fishhook used by a fisherman.

-Sample.

This is the hook that Jiang Taigong used to catch the fishermen.

It seems that this Long Xiaoyun is very self-aware and knows that his business is to destroy other people's homes, so he named it "Silver Hook Gambling House".

As soon as they entered the door, the lights were brightly lit inside. Chen Zhao and Lin Daiyu were dressed in gorgeous clothes. They looked like wealthy people. The gatekeepers immediately nodded enthusiastically and invited them in.

Passing through the porch and entering the main hall, as soon as the heavy curtain is opened, you can smell a strange mixture of sweat, dry smoke, and various strange smells produced by burning oil lamps.

Sister Lin subconsciously raised her hand to cover her nose.

She had never smelled such a strange smell.

Just now when I was walking around in Chen Zhao's arms, I smelled a refreshing body fragrance, which was very refreshing and reassuring.

At this moment, he could only frown.

Chen Zhao smiled and said nothing. Since he brought her into such a place, he naturally told her, but since Daiyu was willing to come in, Chen Zhao would not stop her.

But now that we are here, we will eventually face this scenario.

Anyway, Lin Nuxia is just a gambler, not a real high-roller.

The main hall of Silver Hook Gambling House is very large, with more than a dozen tables, and each table is crowded with gamblers.

In addition to some local gangsters who were not doing their jobs properly, there were wealthy merchants from Guandong wearing mink furs, a juren who came to Beijing to take the exam in a long gown, and a wealthy gentleman who was as fat as a pig.

After all, he was located in Nancheng, so Long Xiaoyun couldn't afford to do business with high-ranking officials, so he could only kill some businessmen.

Anyway, Long Xiaoyun has Jin Yiwei as his back, so he can cheat and rob customers with confidence and boldness.

Even if you are found to have cheated, it is common practice to beat the other person up, put him in jail and extort a sum of money.

As for beating people to death, they can also be imprisoned by Jin Yiwei and thrown into a mass grave outside the city. Who in the world can find out?

Over the past two years, I don’t know how many leeks have been harvested.

With money in his hands, he has courage in his body. In the past year or so, Long Xiaoyun has done many evil things. He has basically done everything that bandits and bullies do.

When Chen Zhao was investigating Lu Yunhe, the commander of the Jinyiwei senior management, he discovered his black gloves.

If he had followed his previous plan, he would have simply ordered his soldiers to ransack his home.

At most, he would just ask about it afterwards and then use it as a weight to deal with Lu Yunhe.

Of course, the dignified Jinyiwei Tongzhi would not come in person.

But since we are taking Sister Lin up and down the wall, how can we miss the drama of being a hero?

And since there is Sister Lin around, of course we can't be so rough and unskilled. At least we have to let Sister Lin see clearly how these people do evil, and take the moral high ground before taking action.

After looking around, Chen Zhao pulled Sister Lin to the largest table.

There were many people around this table. Chen Zhao easily pulled away the two bad gamblers in front of him and stuffed a piece of silver into each of their hands.

"Make way for me, take the money and get out!"

The two rotten gamblers were furious at first, but when they saw that the hard object in their hands was silver, they immediately changed their faces to smiles, nodded and bowed, holding the silver in their hands and ran to another table.

Sister Lin originally thought that since those two rotten gamblers got the money, they should happily go out to eat and drink.

Unexpectedly, they went on to gamble on the table behind them, showing a trace of disdain, with a look in their eyes that said, "Rotten wood cannot be carved."

No matter in any era, bad gamblers are looked down upon.

Chen Zhao was already standing next to the table, weighing the silver in his hand and throwing it on the 'big' table.

The gamblers who were watching suddenly let out bursts of exclamations.

For such a big piece of silver, there must be ten taels of it!

Even the merchants who have come here have never made such a big deal all at once!

Could it be that he is a big sheep?

The man who rolled the dice glanced at him and shouted "Buy it and leave it" according to the rules. He tossed it left and right for a while, then put it on the table and opened the dice Gu.

"Two five six, thirteen o'clock."

Seeing the ten taels of silver being pushed over from the other side, Sister Lin happily said, "You win?"

"Well, I won."

Chen Zhao turned his head and lowered his voice and said, "This is all a routine. If you want to take something, you must give it to me first. I will let you taste the sweetness first, and then it is time to take action."

This routine is very simple, but very effective. Lin Daiyu is so smart that she understood it immediately.

Considering that he dealt with so many salt dealers in Yangzhou, he must be well aware of this trick in gambling houses.

Sure enough, when he saw Chen Zhao placing twenty taels of silver on the word 'big' again, the man who rolled the dice showed disdain, and after shouting 'buy it and leave' as usual, he started to use

Got the skills.

Just like the generals of the Han Dynasty who worked hard to make money by practicing their chessboard skills, dice players can also practice various amazing skills after years of specialized training.

If the dice are cheated and filled with lead or something, it will be even easier to manipulate the dice.

This person has already done the operation. The opening this time should be two, three, three, eight points in total, which is certainly small.

In this way, the money lost to this big sheep can be easily earned back with interest.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! So he put the dice Gu on the table, and when he was about to open it, he naturally didn't notice Chen Zhao's fingers pressing on the table.

Of course, even if he noticed it, he wouldn't care.

So after the dice Gu was uncovered, what was revealed was 'five-five-six'.

"How is it possible? I actually made a mistake!"

The man who rolled the dice was immediately dumbfounded. He was a veteran in this business for many years and had not made any mistakes for more than ten years.

"Bahhhhh."

Chen Zhao knocked on the table and said in a calm tone: "Don't be in a daze, take the money I won."

The other party was stunned for a moment, glanced at Chen Zhao, secretly said something bad, and still pushed the forty taels of silver over.

As the saying goes, if you often walk by the river, your shoes will not get wet.

It is also said that if you walk too much at night, you will always encounter ghosts.

After playing dice for a long time, it is natural to make one or two mistakes occasionally.

The guy comforted himself in this way.

In the third game, Chen Zhao still pushed all-in forty liang, still pushing big.

The guy who rolled the dice had a solemn look on his face. He was more serious than ever this time and used all the methods he had practiced hard for so many years.

Then he glanced at Chen Zhao, sneered, and revealed the dice Gu: "This time it's a one-two-three kill... One-five-six, it's actually a big one? How is that possible?"

The three dice were lying there quietly, and they were one, five, six.

It's not the one-two-three-pass kill that he went all out for.

How can this be?

This is absolutely impossible!

This guy is not a fool, he understood it as soon as he thought about it.

It was obvious that the other party had bad intentions and blocked his game.

"You're cheating!"

He became angry and pointed at Chen Zhao and shouted.

"You dare to falsely accuse me? This is your gambling house, your table, you are rolling the dice, and you actually have the nerve to accuse me of being a cheater. Do you think you can't afford to lose? Why open a gambling house if you can't afford to lose?"

There was a group of bad gamblers around, including many people who were betting with Chen Zhao. They immediately started shouting loudly and making all kinds of noises, making it a noisy mess.

The other party slammed the table and shouted loudly: "Someone is kicking the restaurant!"

After a while, a group of burly men came out from behind and surrounded the table.
