The gambling god's wife in the Duke's Mansion is getting divorced again

Chapter 177 Closing the Net



Chapter 177 Closing the Net

He guessed Yu Lai's identity.

Xiao Ji actually sent out shadow guards. What is their purpose in coming to Liangzhou this time?

"Follow me and take a look." Zheng Jinzhi adjusted his beard; Li Jiu put on a bamboo hat, picked up a shoulder pole, and pretended to be a peddler, walking through the streets and alleys, following Sang Wan not too far away.

Yu Lai was very alert and looked back many times, but Li Jiu and Zheng Jinzhi controlled the situation very well, and he couldn't tell whether they were following him or just neighborhood vendors.

To be cautious, he stood at the door of the gambling house and said to Sang Wan, "Master, I don't think something is right. Please go in first."

Sang Wan nodded and entered the inner room of the gambling house, where the owner was already waiting for her.

She changed her clothes, asked the shopkeeper to put up the screen, and asked, "Is Dugu Luo here today?"

"Here he is, in the heat of the game. As you instructed, I've already let him win ten games."

Sang Wan took the tea from the servant, gently lifted the lid to scrape off the foam, and blew on it:

"Well, we've given you enough sweetness, let's close the net."

"Yes." The shopkeeper bowed and gave the order.

Downstairs, Lonely Luo was enjoying the fight.

Today is his lucky day. He will win every battle. His luck will never be better than today!

He happily slid all the silver in front of him towards himself, overjoyed: "I looked at the almanac yesterday, and it said the three stars are shining today. It's time for me to get rich!"

The dealer laughed and bowed to the crowd:

"Gentlemen, our gambling house is grateful for the years of support from our neighbors. Today, we're offering a big reward: payouts of one to one, one thousand. Roll the dice and compare the big and small. If the banker wins, you bet one tael and lose one tael; if the player wins, you pay out one tael and one thousand taels."

"Your boss is risking his life! He's betting so much!"

The dealer still smiled and asked, "Is anyone coming?"

The onlookers raised their hands, "Me, me!"

The dealer smiled and said, "The number of places is limited, only three!"

Dugu Luozheng put the silver he won into his bag and held it tightly against his chest.

The dealer didn't look at him, but just casually pointed to one of the onlookers and said, "Brother, come here."

The two began to roll the dice and decided to leave.

Open the lid and the player wins.

The dealer clapped his hands and presented a thousand taels with both hands.

The onlookers' eyes were wide open.

"Next!" said the dealer!

“I, I, I!”

Those who want to place bets flock to the gaming table like a tide.

Outside the gambling house, the man who had won a thousand taels of silver shouted, "Money is falling from the sky! Come quickly!"

People on the street were like crazy, leaving their stalls behind and rushing towards the gambling house.

Yu Lai was pushed several meters away by the crowd, and Zheng Jinzhi and Li Jiu took the opportunity to blend into the crowd and enter the gambling house.

The dealer picked another one at random.

This time, the dealer won. The gambler was so unhappy that he wanted to cut off his unlucky hand.

"There's one last chance!"

The dealer shouted, his eyes darting through the crowd.

Not surprisingly, Dugu Luo raised his hand high.

"Me! Me! I'm the most senior player in your gambling house! If you don't choose me for this great opportunity, I'll never let you go!"

"Okay, okay, Master Dugu, please!"

Dugu Luo pushed away the people who were pushing and shoving on both sides, spread out his bag proudly, and sat down.

He generously took out ten taels of silver and said to the dealer, "If one pays one thousand, ten taels means ten thousand, right?"

"Master Dugu is right."

The dealer bowed and signaled him to start rolling the dice.

Dugu Luo pointed at the sky with a proud look on his face:

"Today, I will take back everything that belongs to me."

Everyone knew that Dugu Luo had lost almost all of his wealth in the Wanyin Gambling House. Seeing his confidence, a spectator laughed and said:

"Master Dugu, you finally won this money, don't lose it again."

Dugu Luo spat in his face and said, "Get lost, what unlucky words are you talking about! Watch me kill everyone today!"

The dealer shakes the dice at the same time as him and lifts the cover:

Zhuang has twelve o'clock, Dugu has six o'clock.

Ten taels of silver are wasted.

Dugu Luo refused to accept this and vented his anger on the man who had just been attacked: "It's all your fault, you crow's mouth! You made me start off badly! You unlucky thing, get out of here!"

The man was driven away by Dugu Luo and lost face:

"Just go, you're not destined to get rich!"

Dugu Luo was so angry that he jumped up and down:

"I'll show you my strength!"

He simply pushed all the remaining silver in his bag forward and said, "Kill it all! One move decides life or death! Count it, how much silver is there!"

The dealer carefully counted and bowed:

"Here is fifty-two taels of silver, Master Dugu."

"One to one, one thousand. If I win, you have to pay me fifty-two thousand taels, is that right?"

"That's right." The banker said with a smile.

"Master Dugu, please think about it again. If you lose, all the fifty-two taels will be gone."

"What's the use of fifty-two taels? It's not even enough to fill a gap between our teeth. Bet! Start now!"

Dugu Luo no longer cared about being polite. He stepped on the stool, rolled up his sleeves and started shaking the dice.

The hand rises, the cover falls, the banker has eleven points, and Dugu has ten points.

Dugu Luo wanted to overturn the table!

Just a little bit! Just a little bit!

Oh my God, he is about to turn over!

The banker used the stick in his hand to push all the fifty-two taels of silver from his bag in front of him and bowed:

"Master Dugu, thank you for giving in!"

"Everyone, thank you for your support! See you again tomorrow!"

Dugu Luo disagreed, holding the table with red eyes and refusing to let anyone leave: "I don't accept it! I have the momentum today, I want another round! Just one round! I was just a little bit away from winning just now! You can't leave! Let me bet another round!"

The dealer was helpless and bowed: "Master Dugu, you have no chips left, what can you bet with?"

Dugu Luo was stunned, his lips trembling. He subconsciously touched his whole body and found that he had not a single penny left.

"You, you can lend me some, ten taels will be enough. If I make a profit, it will be ten thousand taels."

He grabbed the onlookers and started borrowing money, but those people looked down on his behavior and pushed him away with a flick of their sleeves.

"If you lose again, you won't even be able to pay back ten coins, let alone ten taels! What a foolish dream!"

No one was willing to lend him money, and the banker also shook his head.

Dugu Luo had no choice but to touch his chest, where the last land deed he had left was placed.

"Bet! I'll bet this piece of land!"

He slammed the title deed on the table.

The dealer picked it up with a stick and laughed at the sight:

"Master Dugu, you are joking. This piece of land of yours is a wasteland in the mountain valley. Even if you mortgage it to us, we don't have the manpower to open up the wasteland. Take it away, take it away, stop joking."

Dugu Luo refused to let him go and dragged his hand tightly: "Wasteland is still land. At the very least, it's worth fifty taels, right?"

The dealer shook his head and didn't bother to pay attention to him.

He almost knelt down in a pleading manner: "Twenty taels?"

The dealer was unmoved and tried desperately to shake him off, but failed because he didn't have enough strength.

The balance is just right.

Dugu Luo cried out in despair:

"Ten taels? After all, it's worth ten taels, right?"

The banker didn't move, so Yu Lai took the opportunity to walk closer, picked up the deed and took a look: "Wow, this piece of land is quite remote."

Dugu Luo seemed to have found a savior. "Brother, brother, although this piece of land is remote, it is large enough. How about I give it to you, ten taels, just ten taels?"

Yu Lai curled his lips, not very happy.

Dugu Luo actually knelt down, tears streaming down his face.

"Brother, I have an old mother above me and hungry children below me. My life is over. I must rely on this game to turn things around. Please, brother, take my land."

"Look how pitiful you sound. But if I accept it, what will happen if you try to cheat me later?" Yu Lai pretended to be worried. "I don't want to argue with you. If you start crying and complaining later, it will be like I bullied you."

"They can all testify that I did it voluntarily. I did it voluntarily. I can sign a document! I'll sign it now!"

Dugu Luo called for pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, wrote the transfer document, pressed his handprint, and respectfully handed it to Yu Lai: "Now, brother, can you rest assured?"

Yu came to take a look, then showed the deed to everyone and said, "Then let all the neighbors bear witness together that I paid him this ten taels of silver with real money."

He took out ten taels from his waist and handed them to Dugu Luo: "Brother, I wish you good luck."

Li Jiu couldn't bear to watch and wanted to step forward to stop him, but Zheng Jinzhi held him down with his hand and said, "Calm down."

What tricks is Sang Wan playing?

He was immediately interested.

Dugu Luo rubbed the silver with his hands, closed his eyes and silently prayed for the Buddha's blessing, then placed it on the table:

"One more time, one last round."

The banker bowed and said, "Master Dugu, please!"

The two of them shook the dice and opened the lid at the same time, and Dugu Luo's hands were shaking violently.

The banker has nine points, and Dugu Luo has ten points.

"I won?" Dugu Luo couldn't believe it. "I won?!"

"Congratulations, Master Dugu! Congratulations, Master Dugu!"

"Ten thousand taels, my God! A full ten thousand taels!"

Dugu Luo looked up to the sky and laughed loudly:

"I won! I won! Uh..."

He fainted with joy.

The onlookers were in a panic, pinching his Ren Zhong point, fanning him, and pouring water on him.

It took Dugu Luo a while to recover. The dealer had already asked someone to hand him 10,000 taels of silver.

"Master Dugu, congratulations! My master said that when good fortune comes, heaven and earth will work together, and when luck arrives, all things will move forward together. But a person's luck is predetermined. Since you have received this great blessing, you should cherish it and not gamble on it anymore."

This ten thousand taels far exceeded the value of the land. Sang Wan did not cheat him and even gave him several thousand taels more than the market price.

Dugu Luo was still in extreme excitement, and walked out of the gambling house in a daze with the silver in his hands.

Sang Wan took the land deed handed to her by Yu Lai, a smile on her lips.

With this piece of land, everything really began.

Li Jiu downstairs asked Zheng Jinzhi:

"Master, is Grandma's money too hot to handle?"

If it's hot, he doesn't mind helping to spend it!

He was so poor in the military camp that he had to mend his trousers even though they had several holes in them and continue to wear them. He knew too well the value of money.

Zheng Jinzhi looked towards the second floor. The screen blocked Sang Wan's view, and he could only vaguely see a swaying figure.

Why does she want this land?
