Chapter 357 Lure the Snake
"Boss Bai is the guest. It's pointless to play guessing the size anymore. If we are unlucky, Boss Bai will think that we locals are cheating together. Girl, why don't you just wait by Boss Bai's side and let us guys play by ourselves?"
The sturdy man stopped the beautiful lady and said something to Zhao Yushu.
There is nothing wrong with this statement. A pretty girl might cheat when rolling the dice, but there is nothing to say if everyone rolls the dice by themselves and compares the numbers. It all depends on your own ability. If you don't have any ability, you can just rely on luck.
Jiao Niang smiled and said, "Boss Xu has spoken, so I will listen. I just don't know what Boss Bai has to say."
"Hahaha, Boss Xu is so straightforward, how can I refuse? Come on, Jiaoniang, let's shake together."
Zhao Yushu grabbed Jiao Niang's wrist and stuffed the dice cup into her hand, seemingly taking advantage of her.
"Which of the three will come first?"
"Why don't we work together? The winner takes all." The one who spoke was the gloomy-looking young man who had been silent before. He looked at Zhao Yushu with a strange look.
"Haha, haha, it's good if we go together, then let's go together." The fat boss nodded in agreement with a smile.
"Humph, Fatty Rong, you agree with whatever Young Master Xia says, so do you agree to lose this round if he asks you to?" Boss Xu mocked the fat Boss Rong with disdain. Boss Rong looked the oldest, but he still nodded with a smile: "Boss Xu is right, Fatty, I'll lose this round then."
After Fatty Rong finished speaking, he took out a silver ingot of ten taels and placed it on the table: "First round, everyone have fun."
Zhao Yushu narrowed his eyes slightly. These people, aren't they so harmonious? Is this just a show for him or is it just a coincidence?
"Humph, Boss Rong is so generous, I won't be polite, Old Xu. Everyone, let's get started."
Boss Xu held a maid in his left hand, picked up the dice cup with his right hand, and with a flick of his wrist, the three dice began to spin rapidly.
Master Xia and Fatty Rong also started shaking. Fatty Rong, like Zhao Yushu, also held the hand of a delicate girl and shook together. However, there was no maid beside Master Xia, only a huge tiger dozing on the ground.
Zhao Yushu held Jiaoniang's wrist and said, "My beauty, what are you waiting for?"
The delicate lady chuckled and started moving her wrist. Zhao Yushu let her do it, then closed his eyes slightly and implicitly grasped the rhythm of the movement of her muscles.
So this is how you control the dice.
Cheating is nothing more than having good ears and accurate hands. For a monk with opened ears, he can distinguish the difference in the sounds of dice with different numbers with a little attention. As for the technique of using wrist force, for someone like Lao Zhao who uses close combat, just one or two experiences are enough.
"Come on, one, two, three, drop the dice cup!" Jiao Niang shouted, and the four of them put the dice cup on the table together.
"Open!" It was still Jiao Niang who gave the order. The four dice cups were opened. Boss Xu snorted coldly, Fatty Rong sighed and smiled, and Zhao Yushu and Master Xia leaned forward together.
The two people had the highest points, all four, five and six.
"How about we play it again?" Zhao Yushu had basically never played this kind of thing before and didn't know the rules.
"Boss Bai is a guest, this is for you." Master Xia pushed the four silver ingots over without hesitation. Zhao Yushu laughed: "Okay, then I will be disrespectful to refuse. Come here, my beauty, this is Master Xia's reward for you."
Jiao Niang took a silver ingot with a sweet smile. This ugly thing didn't seem so ugly after all.
"Come on, continue, let's play something bigger." Zhao Yushu took off his outer robe, took out a silver ingot of one hundred taels and put it on. Everyone was stunned.
The purchasing power of one hundred taels in this world is already terrifying. Using the simplest calculation method, it is worth at least hundreds of thousands of steamed buns.
One hundred taels was not considered a lot of money in the eyes of several bosses, but this was just the beginning.
"Haha, Boss Bai is really generous." Fatty Rong picked up the silk scarf and wiped the sweat from his forehead. The maid beside him hurriedly brought cold tea as the room was a little hot.
"Why, can you only bet 10 taels? Is this how much money Xiangzhou plays? Hahaha, I don't know the rules." Zhao Yushu was about to put the silver away, but Boss Xu held him back and said, "Fatty Rong, if you don't dare to play, then get off. I'll play with Boss Bai. Although Xiangzhou is small, it must have some tough bones."
Although he was talking about Fatty Rong, Boss Xu's eyes were always fixed on Young Master Xia.
Master Xia sneered, without saying a word, and directly threw a hundred taels of silver note over.
"Play, why not play, haha, I'm just praising you."
Fatty Rong gave Jiao Niang a look under the scarf, and Jiao Niang understood what he meant.
The four of them placed their bets and continued to roll the dice. As expected, Zhao Yushu lost, and Master Xia became the winner again.
Zhao Yushu wanted to laugh. These guys didn't look like big bosses, but they got angry over a hundred taels. The night was long, so he didn't want to play with them anymore.
"That's great! Come on, continue!" Another hundred taels were thrown down.
"Boss Bai, if we keep playing like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to play in an hour." Boss Xu said sinisterly.
"One hour? Ha, that's too long."
Jiao Niang shook the dice cup again, and when it was about to fall, she felt that Zhao Yushu's hand on her wrist seemed to tighten a little. She guessed that this seemingly rough guy was also starting to get nervous.
"Open the cup! Huh?"
Five, five, six, Zhao Yushu won it easily.
"Hahaha, my luck is back, four hundred taels!" Zhao Yushu grabbed the silver, and then took out a hundred taels to give to Jiao Niang. Jiao Niang was in a dilemma. If she accepted it, would these bosses think that she had found an outsider to cheat them together? If she didn't accept it, it would be unreasonable for her to shake it for Zhao Yushu.
But why would it be 556? Shouldn’t it be 156?
"Great! Keep going!" Three hundred taels were thrown in, and even Boss Xu didn't dare to say anything.
"Well, well, Mr. Bai, you should shake it yourself. My hands are a little sore." Jiao Niang sat slightly to the side to show her innocence.
"Hey, no one is following? Jiaoniang, let's go, and pick me another place where we can play."
"I'll follow!" Young Master Xia suddenly laughed and threw down five hundred taels: "Boss Bai likes excitement, and so do I. I'm suddenly very interested in Boss Bai."
Zhao Yushu shuddered for no reason, and a fear from the depths of his straight man's heart surged up.
Without hesitation, Lao Zhao pulled the young lady back, who was quietly moving aside, and took out two silver notes of 100 taels and gave them to her: "Okay, let's make it more exciting. What do you two say?"
Jiao Niang was held tightly by Zhao Yushu's big hand, her eyes were helpless and angry, and then he quietly pressed a small mechanism under the table. Zhao Yushu's ears moved and he heard the sound of bells outside several rooms.
finally come.
"I just, haha, I won't follow." Fatty Rong wiped the sweat off his forehead and became cowardly.
"I'm following you!" Boss Xu gritted his teeth and said, "I just don't believe in evil!"
The dice cups clanged in the hands of the three people, and Jiao Niang's voice trembled: "One!"
Zhao Yushu heard footsteps coming from the corridor outside the door.
"two!"
As the footsteps approached, Boss Xu's hands began to cramp.
"three!"
The footsteps outside the door stopped and Mr. Xia licked his lips.
"Drop the cup!"
Bang! The door was kicked open. Zhao Yushu ignored the noise behind him and slowly opened the dice cup. There were three sixes.
