Chapter 164 Gambling House
What exactly does this person want to do? Control the Emperor of Dai Viet and use him to control the princes?
It seems that someone has set his sights on his position and wants to replace him to become the most powerful official in Dai Viet?
However, why didn't this person just seize the throne? After all, Feng Jiuqing didn't want to be the emperor, purely because being an emperor was too tiring, and also because Tongzi was a capable minister system, not a wise or incompetent monarch system.
So why did that person do that?
In that case, he has to have fun in the casino. Who knows, he might get something unexpected.
Feng Jiuqing made a simple disguise, put on a beard, and put a scar across his face. He slightly covered his peach blossom eyes and made up them into sharp eagle eyes. Okay, he looked very imposing and not someone who would be easily messed with.
He changed into a pair of shorts and looked in the mirror. Very good, he looked like a butcher in the market. It would look even more like a butcher if he had a butcher knife in his hand.
Feng Jiuqing curled the corners of his mouth. If he went to the casino like this, he guaranteed that Canglang and Yuebai would not recognize him.
"Open! One, two, three, little one!"
The casino was bustling with noise. Every time a bet was opened, those who won laughed out loud, while those who lost burst into tears. Joys and sorrows were happening all the time.
"Old Bian, you've lost all your money, why are you still gambling?"
The man called Lao Bian had red eyes and it was obvious that he was very angry about losing.
"Bullshit! I have plenty of money!"
Another person said sarcastically, "Where's your money? Take it out and show it to us! I don't think you can afford even a penny!"
Old Bian searched his entire body, even turning out the soles of his shoes, but he didn't find a single penny.
"Hahaha! Why pretend if you have no money? Just go home and go to bed! Hahaha!" The man covered his stomach and laughed smugly.
Old Bian's face was blue and red. He looked at the man viciously, his chest heaving violently, but he couldn't utter a word.
At this time, the man next to the young master said to Lao Bian with a smile: "Lao Bian, I think it would be better if I lend you 20 taels of silver. You pawn your wife to me. If you win, you can redeem her!"
"That's right, Old Bian, you were so lucky before, this time it was just an accident, give it a try! Who knows, maybe you can turn the tables?"
"Yes, Lao Bian, you are lucky. You just need some money now. Just agree to it."
"This..." Lao Bian was a little tempted, but also a little hesitant, looking wavering.
"What are you still hesitating about? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! If you miss this opportunity, you will never get it again."
"The young master is willing to lend you the money, but it's impossible to get it even if you beg for it. Old Bian, please agree to it quickly. Don't you want to win back all the money you have lost?"
"It's just a little bit, are you willing to accept this? Don't you want to win?"
Old Bian made up his mind: "Okay, thirty taels, I will pawn my wife to the young master."
The fat young man narrowed his eyes and said, "Are you asking for too much in front of me? Twenty taels, whether you want to lend it to me or not."
Feng Jiuqing had not expected to see pig-killing scams in ancient times. It was obvious that all this was done by these people in collusion. Perhaps the young master had taken a fancy to Old Bian's wife and deliberately set a trap for him. But gambling is the source of ruining a family. If this person didn't like gambling, how could this happen?
"Okay, thirty taels, and give me your wife. I just happen to be in need of a wife!" Feng Jiuqing said in a rough voice, and took out three ingots of silver from his arms and handed them to Lao Bian.
"Who are you? Did our young master let you speak? Get out!"
Feng Jiuqing's thick eyebrows frowned, and murderous intent leaked out in an instant.
"A butcher who kills pigs, why do you want to watch me kill pigs? If you think about it carefully, there seems to be no difference between killing pigs and killing," Feng Jiuqing deliberately paused and looked the man up and down.
The man was so frightened by Feng Jiuqing's murderous aura that he dared not speak any more. However, the young master shook his face and said, "Do you know who my father is? My father is the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture. Why don't you kneel down and apologize to this young master!"
The prefect of Jingzhao, Feng Jiuqing sneered, no wonder this casino is still there, it turns out that the casino was embezzling.
"I don't know. I've never heard of it. What is the Jingzhao Prefecture Governor? I just want to buy a wife. Do I need his consent?" Feng Jiuqing took out the butcher knife from his waist and blew on it.
"You! You are an ignorant and reckless man! I will go find my father and lock you up right now!" The young master was so frightened that his legs went limp. He only avoided falling to the ground with the support of a few lackeys around him.
"How old are you? Tsk, you're still looking for your father. If you're brave enough, let's have a fight. It just so happens that I haven't used my knife today."
"you you you--"
Feng Jiuqing waved the butcher knife, and the young master had no choice but to walk away with a sullen face. Feng Jiuqing took out some small change from his pocket and handed it to the thug who was staring at him covetously: "Please help me prepare paper and pen."
The man didn't bother him for the sake of money, and quickly brought paper and pen. Feng Jiuqing picked up the pen and wrote a cursive letter to pawn his wife, handed it to Lao Bian, raised his eyebrows and said, "Press your fingerprint."
Old Bian was so frightened that his legs went limp. Feng Jiuqing snorted coldly, "Why, you took my money and you want to go back on your word? Believe it or not, I'll chop off your hand!"
Old Bian didn't dare to say anything, and tremblingly pressed the radio. Feng Jiuqing took back the wife pawning book and blew it. I don't know which unlucky girl married a gambler and was pawned like this. If he hadn't intervened, I'm afraid she would have been pawned to that fat young master, and the consequences can be imagined.
Feng Jiuqing put the letter of pawning his wife in his arms and asked Tianqing to arrange a place for the person after returning.
He walked around and finally found an empty spot to stand. He took out ten silver bills worth one hundred taels from his sleeve and placed them in a row. The dealer saw that Feng Jiuqing was a wealthy man and went to greet him.
"Hey, this gentleman doesn't look familiar to me. Is this your first time here?"
Feng Jiuqing pulled out a folding fan from his waist, which looked a bit out of place with his short clothes and fierce face. He looked at the corner of the banker's mouth twitching constantly and raised his eyebrows.
"I've never played it before, why not come and play it?"
The dealer smiled along. Generally, people who came to the first floor were peddlers and hawkers who had little money. The really rich people were on the second floor. This man could be considered a big customer on the first floor. Although his taste was a bit special, he could not be let go easily.
"Okay, why not? What do you want to play, sir?"
Feng Jiuqing glanced at it casually and said, "Let's bet on the size. This is easy to understand. I can do it."
"Okay! Okay! Okay! It's good to bet on the size! Why don't you bring a chair over for this gentleman?" The dealer glared at the thug next to him.
Feng Jiuqing was not polite and sat down directly. The dealer quickly rolled the dice and said to Feng Jiuqing with a smile: "Sir, please place your bet."
Two two one, small.
Feng Jiuqing put one thousand taels directly on the big bet, and the smile in the banker's eyes was seeping out. Soon everyone bought it, and Feng Jiuqing looked at the banker with a smile. The banker sneered in his heart, just a sucker.
"open!"
As the dice were revealed, the smile on the dealer's face froze instantly. How could this be? How could it be four, five, and six? He had clearly rolled two, two, and one.
