The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

Master Ye took off the porcelain cup and looked up at Zhao Chuanxin teasingly: "What do you think it is?"

On Zhao Chuanxin's arm, the smart gyroscope vibrated three times.

He placed all his chips on the "three" position.

Just as he was about to open the cup, Zhao Chuanxin stopped him: "Wait a minute."

Master Ye sneered and said: "What, you regretted it? Do you want to suppress 'four' or 'two'?"

Zhao Chuanxin looked at the people around him and casually clicked on a man who looked stupid: "You drive, you drive."

Master Ye's expression changed.

But he didn't say anything and stepped aside.

He felt that even if he didn't use any means, it would be difficult for Zhao Chuanxin to win.

The man didn't refuse. He showed his arms and rolled up his sleeves. Instead of eating the melon, he got into the melon himself, which made him even happier: "Okay!"

Open the cup and use small sticks to pull it four by four.

In full view of everyone, it is impossible to make a mistake.

The man pulled it to the end, and sure enough, there were three chess pieces left.

"Three, this...sir has won."

Zhao Chuanxin smiled brightly and raised his hands to the surrounding people: "Luck, luck, look at the big vat of peaches, let me just say I am lucky today, okay?"

Li Zhitao looked at Zhao Chuanxin in confusion. He suddenly felt that Zhao Chuanxin had been acting.

The leader must have cracked Master Ye's spell, that's for sure.

As a result, Li Zhitao felt relieved.

King Liu didn't think about it, but his frown relaxed a little.

Master Ye licked his lips without any expression.

It is possible that Zhao Chuanxin won a fortune just by luck.

But Gao He's mentality was not that good, and his face looked a little ugly.

Zhao Chuanxin stretched out his hand and said, "Compensate."

Master Ye took out four times the chips and handed them to Zhao Chuanxin.

Zhao Chuanxin held a cigar in his mouth and said proudly: "Look, everyone, this move has given me thousands of taels of silver. My capital is now enough."

The people around him looked at him with envy and jealousy, and they all thought to themselves: Why wasn't I the winner?

This is the most common psychology among gamblers.

One thousand taels of silver is not a small amount.

For the second move, Master Ye put the chess pieces together, changed the shape of the pile, shook the porcelain cup again, and slammed it down.

Since he is not allowed to open the cup, he cannot use small tricks and can only rely on complicated operations to confuse his opponent.

He stared into Zhao Chuanxin's eyes: "How much do you want to buy?"

The smart gyroscope vibrated twice.

Within ten meters, it can be said that everything is under Zhao Chuanxin's control.

He once again pushed all his chips to the "two" column.

Just as he was about to appoint a new person, Master Ye spoke first: "I'll call someone this time."

He was worried that the person just now was inserted by Zhao Chuanxin, although he didn't see anything wrong.

Zhao Chuanxin didn't care: "Then just scream, don't look for your people."

Master Ye casually ordered someone, and the person came forward happily, spitting into his palm, and then opened the cup.

Zhao Chuanxin said in his heart: I won't touch this cup even if it kills me.

The man's hands were clumsy and he dialed the wrong number after a few fiddles. A bystander pointed out and fiddled again.

For a moment, the remainder is 2.

The onlookers were in an uproar.

Gao He's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.

There was a trace of solemnity on Master Ye's face.

Zhao Chuanxin looked "ecstatic": "Look, look, I told you that I am very lucky. Men who love to laugh are always very lucky. Please pay me quickly."

From today on, there will be a popular saying in Ao Island: Men who love to laugh are always lucky!

One thousand taels becomes four thousand taels.

Master Ye's chips were nearly one-tenth less.

Master Ye was still calm, but he saw that he was holding a cup in his right hand, his wrist was shaking rapidly, and he was swaying rapidly from side to side, almost leaving an afterimage.

The fingers of his left hand flicked back and forth on the pile of chess pieces, changing their shapes.

Zhao Chuanxin sat on a chair with a cigar in his mouth, crossed his legs, and clapped softly: "Sure enough, he has a trick!"

Master Ye: "..."

boom!

Button down the porcelain cup.

Master Ye stared into Zhao Chuanxin's eyes and gritted his teeth: "Guess again!"

The smart gyroscope vibrated, and Zhao Chuanxin said, "I guess 'four'!"

Master Ye congratulated him and said, "Boss Gao, please point one person to open it."

Although he is good at this, no one can say for sure about luck.

Maybe another person can change the feng shui.

Gao He took a deep breath: "It's just you."

In the crowd, a short man with a mustache glanced at Gao He in surprise, then glanced vaguely at Zhao Chuanxin, and finally came to the table.

Just as the man was about to open the cup, Zhao Chuanxin asked unexpectedly: "Where are you from?"

The man hesitated: "Xijiang."

Be concise and concise, cherish words like gold.

Zhao Chuanxin narrowed his eyes.

The man saw out of the corner of his eye that there was less obvious sweat seeping out of his forehead.

Zhao Chuanxin said nothing.

The man finished fiddling with it quickly and there were four chess pieces left.

He threw the stick away without saying a word, but the result was obvious.

People around were in an uproar.

Won three times in a row!

What a win!

And the little man who opened the cup returned to the crowd and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Except for Zhao Chuanxin, no one paid much attention to him.

Zhao Chuanxin tapped his finger on the table, turned his eyes away, and looked at Master Ye: "Pay compensation, Master Ye, I can beat ten of you."

Good guy, Zhao Chuanxin's chips are close to 18,000 taels.

His original chips were only 280 taels, which was negligible.

In other words, Master Ye's chips are 18,000 taels less.

Not only did Gao He's face turn dark, he also began to sweat on his forehead.

This much money is not a small amount to him.

When Master Ye was dividing the chips, his hands shook invisibly.

Zhao Chuanxin's eyes were very sharp. Thinking of the two of them just talking about Li Zhitao and Liu Wang, Zhao Chuanxin pretended to be surprised: "Ah, Master Ye, why are your hands still shaking? Did you not eat? Or is there something secret? disease?"

The anger on Master Ye's face flashed away: "No need for you to bother."

"Oh, that's it. I'm a very good person and always worry about things. So, why do others care about me?"

"you……"

Cursing people to death properly is extremely abominable!

Master Ye said fiercely: "Fantan is a small road, why don't we play some other tricks?"

Pai Gow, Zhao Chuanxin didn’t understand it at all.

He then said: "Then let's play dice, otherwise it will make me look like I am bullying you."

Master Ye narrowed his eyes and said, "I think I'd better push Pai Gow."

"No, no, no, Pai Gow is too easy for me. I'm afraid that if you win, you'll walk out here naked, and then people will spread the word that we in Shushan are unkind."

Master Ye couldn't figure out the details of Zhao Chuanxin, but he would definitely oppose what Zhao Chuanxin insisted on.

"In that case, instead of pushing Pai Gow or rolling the dice, let's play poker, Sand Crab."

Sand crab is Stud, Hong Kong style five cards.

Before poker was introduced, there were similar games in China, but they were not popular.

After the introduction of imported playing cards, the combination of Chinese and Western playing methods gradually became popular.

But at this time stud was far less popular than later generations.

Zhao Chuanxin doesn’t know Pai Gow or Stud.

Rolling the dice is the simplest and most straightforward.

The most important thing is that he feels that Master Ye is prone to making secret tricks in Pai Gow and poker, stealing cards and exchanging cards.

Zhao Chuanxin once had a relative who knew this, and his hands were so quick that it was hard to guard against him.

But poker is better than Pai Gow because...

Just listen to Zhao Chuanxin ask: "What styles of playing cards are there in the big vat peach, gambling house on Ao Island?"

After Datantao gave a few instructions, a dealer came over with several decks of cards. Zhao Chuanxin took a look at them. There were all kinds of cards with solid colors on the back, some with peony flowers, and some with circus clowns printed on them.

Zhao Chuanxin was amused when he saw it: " Gambling houses usually use these playing cards, right?"

"Yes." The dealer nodded.

Zhao Chuanxin took out a new deck of playing cards from his pocket, with the Statue of Liberty printed on the back.

He bought this from the United States, and he didn't expect it to come in handy today.

If you take the playing cards yourself, Master Ye can steal the cards, but he cannot change the cards.

Zhao Chuanxin threw the poker on the table: "Let me shuffle the cards. Use this kind."

Master Ye was sweating like a waterfall.

He dared to shout numbers and play cards, so he was naturally prepared.

But Zhao Chuanxin's cool moves slipped past him... It was really hard to guard against.

He quit: "No, who knows if there is a ghost in the playing cards you took out?"

Zhao Chuanxin said: "Then you can check. We'd better find someone else to shuffle, cut and deal the cards. The two of us won't move."

Master Ye: "..."

This way he can't do tricks, let alone change cards, otherwise even a fool can see it.

Seeing that he was speechless, Zhao Chuanxin said to Li Zhitao: "Tell me the rules of sand crabs."

The onlookers were stunned...

If you don’t even know the rules, why are you playing cards?

Stud is very simple. Li Zhitao will understand it after Zhao Chuanxin explains it once.

Straight Flush, Four of a Kind, Full House, Flush, Straight, Three of a Kind, Two Pairs, One Pair, Lottery Points.

After listening, Zhao Chuanxin took off his coat and handed it to Li Zhitao, holding his chin in his hand: "Master Ye, do you order people or should I order people to shuffle the cards?"

Master Ye's face turned pale: "I'll order it!"

In competitive games, you can't show mercy.

Shuffle, cut, and deal the cards.

One is dark and one is light.

Master Ye found that Zhao Chuanxin didn't look at the cards at all, but just stared at him.

There is nothing surprising about this. In the sand crab game, masters need to watch their actions to prevent others from being stolen or stolen from others.

Zhao Chuanxin has a K on his face, and Master Ye has a 10 on his face.

Zhao Chuanxin didn't even look at the cards and threw down 100 taels of chips.

After Master Ye read his trump card, he gritted his teeth and said, "Follow."

In the second hand, Zhao Chuanxin continued to place bets, and Master Ye followed suit as usual.

Zhao Chuanxin was a little confused.

From the look of Master Ye, it doesn’t look like he’s got a big name, so why do you keep following him?

Until the last hand, Master Ye had an A in his hand and he chose to open the card.

Zhao Chuanxin chose to raise the bet.

At this time, Li Zhitao, Liu Wang, Gao He and the surrounding spectators were all holding their breath and concentrating.

The last move is key and can easily involve stud or something.

But Master Ye withdrew his cards: "I won't follow."

That's it?

Zhao Chuanxin narrowed his eyes, feeling something was wrong.

While the cards were being shuffled, Zhao Chuanxin suddenly stretched out his hand: "Wait a minute."

Master Ye's eyelids twitched.

The person shuffling the cards looked at Zhao Chuanxin doubtfully.

Zhao Chuanxin said to him: "Count the cards!"

There are a total of 28 cards in the Sand Crab game.

From 8 to Ace, four suits.

Master Ye's face turned a little pale.

He said: "I don't think it should be so troublesome."

Zhao Chuanxin pinched the cigar in his hand and said calmly: "The main reason is that my gambling skills are too high and sometimes I can't control my hands. Let's check. If I lose a thousand, I will chop off my hands. If I get ruthless, I'll even be afraid of myself."

When Master Ye heard this, his pupils began to tremble...
