Chapter 888 (1/2)
Gambling in Huangzhai was founded in the late Qing Dynasty. At first, it was just a small gambling house on the street. The name is not ”gambling room”, but ”gambling room”.
It's said that the boss of gambling house is a monk who returns to the secular world. He also knows where he learned a superb gambling skill. After returning to the secular world, he made the business of making people die.
Today, the name of the boss of the monk has no way to verify. In any case, people called him ”monk” directly in those days, and now he is called ”gambling monk” or ”ancestor”.
Maybe it's a monk who has been in gambling room for a long time. Even though he has made a living in black, he has not forgotten to bring some rules and regulations of monks.
In a monk's gambling house, everything should be ”absolutely fair”. If anyone makes a thousand in his place or joins a gang to cheat people's money, he will be seen through by the boss and exposed in public; if he drives out the gambling house, he will never receive it, if he plays hard, he will be thrown into the street.
Gamblers' psychology is very delicate. Most of them can't afford to lose, but they don't want to admit that they can't afford to lose, so they will lose more.
And gambling house It gave them a place to ”win and take it.”. Those who come out of there, even if they lose in poverty, can only blame themselves for their bad luck and have nothing to say.
For gamblers, that's enough It seems that they didn't lose by themselves, but by God.
Over time, the name of ”gambling house” has spread.
Finally, one day, the name of gambling house came to the ears of a local official, who was also a gambling addict. The next day, he disguised himself and entered the gambling house.
Unfortunately Mr. Liu's gambling skills and luck are not good. He lost his money soon after entering the gambling room.
It's reasonable to say that he's such a well-known corrupt official. If he loses, he'll lose. Anyway, he's also searching for people's fat and cream. If he loses, he'll leave However, Mr. Liu's gambling products were also very bad. After he lost, he immediately became aware of his identity and shouted that the dealer had cheated him of his money.
So the shop assistant called the boss It's a monk. The monk listened to the story, smiled calmly, and proposed to gamble with Lord Liu again.
In this game, he used his whole fortune to gamble on the words of Mr. Liu.
When the monk loses, he loses the Wanguan family fortune. When Mr. Liu loses, he only loses one sentence, which is ”I, Mr. Liu, lost so much today.”.
Lord Liu agreed to the gamble, and quickly lost the battle.
But He didn't fulfill the agreement, just a big sleeve, a cold hum, then left the gambling room.
Where can he know As soon as he left, he lost his life.
The next night, Liu died in his own home. The cause of his death was unknown.
Although I'm dead, I can't say it's a small case But at that time, it was the period when the Boxer Uprising was the most fierce. In addition to the corruption of the imperial government, internal and external troubles, the imperial court had no time to investigate this matter. If the local law enforcement agencies fail to investigate, it will be over
Just Although no one has looked it up in the official circles, the folk rumors about this matter are getting worse.
Less than half a year later, the story of ”gambling monk killed Liu greedy” has been spread to all the women and children in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, and everyone's version will add its own flavor, which is more mysterious.
The name of ”gambling house” also spreads along with the story, which makes the business of gambling house develop rapidly, and soon it becomes a big casino from a small gambling house.
Not long after that, many experts in gambling came here Challenge that gambling monk, but no one can beat that monk. Moreover, when they lose, they are all convinced by that monk's gambling skills and bearing, or become confidants, or bow to the beginner level As for the story of gambling, it has naturally become the legend of the street.
Later, a chance changed the fate of ”gambling house” in the future
At that time, there was a conflict between the owners of the other two casinos. They wanted to compete with each other by gambling. Finally... I don't know who said, ”it's better to invite the monk of gambling room to preside over it for you.”.
As a result They did invite them, and the monks did. Because of his ”absolute fairness” principle, the whole gambling process went on without a leak. At the end of the game, the loser didn't say anything. He gave up the money and left
In this way, it is the first time that ”gambling house hosts gambling for others”
Since then, there have been more and more gamblers coming to the gambling room to make a just bet. The monk is undoubtedly busy, so the experts he met and collected came out in the name of ”gambling room” to host the bet.
