Text Chapter 888 Gambling Emperor¡¯s House

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Gambling Palace was founded in the late Qing Dynasty.  At first, it was just a small gambling shop on the street.  The name is not called "Gouhuangzhai", but "Gouzhai".

    It is said that the owner of the gambling house is a monk who has returned to secular life. I don¡¯t know where he learned the superb gambling skills. After returning to secular life, he started this business that ruined his family.

    To this day, the name of this monk boss has not been verified. Anyway, back then, everyone just called him "Monk", but now they call him "Gambling Monk" or "Old Patriarch".

    ¡°Perhaps it¡¯s because he has been a monk for a long time. Even though the owner of the gambling house has been engaged in such a shady business, he has not forgotten to bring along some of the monastic rules and regulations.

    In the monk's gambling house, everything must be "absolutely fair". Anyone who cheats money in his place or joins a team to defraud people will definitely be seen through by the boss and exposed in public; if it is minor,  He would be kicked out of the gambling den and would not be welcomed, or worse, he would be beaten half to death and thrown into the street.

    The psychology of gamblers is very subtle. Most of them actually cannot afford to lose, but they are unwilling to admit that they cannot afford to lose, so they lose more.

    ???????????????? and the Gambling House gave them a place where they could "be convinced of their losses".  People who come out of there, even if they lose completely, can only blame themselves for their bad luck and have nothing to say.

    For gamblers, that¡¯s enough It seems that they are not losing, but God.

    Over time, the name "Gambling House" spread.

    Finally, one day, the name of the gambling house reached the ears of a certain local official. This person was also a gambling addict. The next day, he disguised himself and entered the gambling house.

    ¡°It¡¯s a pity Mr. Liu¡¯s gambling skills and luck were both bad, and he lost all his money not long after entering the gambling house.

    It stands to reason that if a corrupt official like him loses, then he loses. Anyway, he just gained the people's wealth and wealth, so he can just lose it and leave However, Mr. Liu's gambling is also very bad. After he lost,  He immediately revealed his identity and started shouting loudly, saying that the banker was cheating him out of his money.

    So, the clerk in the store called the boss who was the monk.  The monk listened to what happened, smiled calmly, and proposed to have another bet with Mr. Liu.

    In this game, he used all his wealth to bet on Master Liu's words.

    If the monk loses, he will lose his wealth of ten thousand yuan. If Mr. Liu loses, he will only lose one sentence, and this sentence is "I, Liu, am convinced that I lost today."

    Mr. Liu agreed to the bet and was quickly defeated.

    "Buthe didn't fulfill the agreement. He just waved his sleeves, snorted, and left the gambling house.

    How could he know that by leaving, he would lose his life.

    On the night of the next day, Mr. Liu died suddenly in his home. His death was miserable and the cause of death was unknown.

    Although the death of a local official cannot be said to be a minor casebut it was the period when the Boxer Rebellion was at its most violent. Coupled with political corruption, internal and external troubles, the imperial court had no time to investigate the matter in detail.  When the investigation by the local law enforcement agencies failed, the matter was dropped

    ¡°It¡¯s just Although no one is investigating officially, the rumors about this matter among the people are getting more and more intense.

    In less than half a year, the story of "Gambling Monk Killed Liu Tan" has spread to all women and children in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, and everyone's version will add their own details, making it more and more mysterious.

    The name "Gambling House" also spread along with the story, which caused the business of Gambling House to develop rapidly, and soon it turned from a small gambling shop into a large casino.

    Soon after, many gambling masters came here to challenge the gambling monk, but no one could beat the monk; and after these people lost, they were all impressed by the monk's gambling skills and magnanimity, or  Become close friends, or become disciples As for these gambling and fighting stories, they have naturally become legends circulating in the streets and alleys.

    Later, an accidental opportunity changed the future destiny of "Gambling House"

    That time, there was a conflict between the owners of the other two casinos and they wanted to compete over gambling. However, neither of them believed in the manpower appointed by the other, so the gambling could not start.  In the end I don't know who said, "It's better to ask the monk from the gambling house to host it for you."

    ¡°As a result¡­they actually went to invite me, and the monk really went.  Because of his "absolute fairness" principle, the entire gambling process was carried out flawlessly.  After the bet was over, the loser handed over the money and left without saying a word

    In this way, it was the first time for a gambling house to host gambling games for others

    Since then, more and more people have come to the gambling house to do fair gambling, and the monk has alwaysUndoubtedly, he was too busy, so the masters he met and recruited also came forward in the name of "Gambling House" and went out to host the gambling games.

    By 1920, when the monk died, the gambling house was no longer a casino, but an organization that hosted gambling games for people and took commissions from them.

    The second-generation boss worshiped the "Gambling Monk" who had never been defeated in his life as the ancestor, and renamed the gambling house "Gambling Emperor's House", which means that the monk is the emperor of gambling.

    Time flies by, and in the 1930s and 1940s, City S was full of concessions and gangs were prevalent.

    At this time, it was the peak period of Gambling Emperor Zhai.  The people they serve are rarely civilians In those days, those who could hire a "Gambling Emperor's House" to preside over gambling games had to be at least at the level of gangsters, celebrities, or military and political officials.  figure.

    The content of the gambling game is usually a huge amount of property, or life.

    This is what gambling is like. As the chips a person loses become heavier and heavier, the weight of life in his heart will become lighter and lighter.

    At this point, things like ¡°credit¡± become ridiculous.  It's like there is a gang leader with more than a dozen brothers gambling with an unarmed common man As long as the amount won by the latter reaches an amount that the former cannot accept, what awaits him will inevitably be a breach of contract and silence.

    The existence of Gambling Palace is to supervise and avoid this situation from happening.  As long as there is someone from Gambling Palace to witness, the loser must pay the price he gambled on no matter what the price is.

    If the loser breaks the contract, the gambler will be responsible for "collecting the opponent's chips" on behalf of the winner.  Regardless of money or life, no matter who the person is or what he lost Gambling Emperor Zhai has a way to make him pay what he has to pay, and there will be no exceptions.

    This is also the purpose that everyone who knows the existence of "Gambling Emperor's House" needs to understand.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    A century later, in City S, in the office of a well-known entrepreneur.

    "Youactually know about Gambling Emperor's House?" Jiang Daode asked in a deep voice.

    He didn't mean to be pretentious, because he understood that it was impossible for the other party to report those three words out of thin air; what Jiang Daode wanted to know was how did the boy at the other end of the video know that he was connected to Gambling Emperor Zhai?  How many details do you know?

    "Of course that's because" Feng Bujue said with a smile, "I am also a member of Gambling Emperor Zhai."

    "Yousaidwhat?" A shocked expression appeared on Jiang Daode's face involuntarily.

    "Is this weird?" Feng Bujue asked.

    "You?" Jiang Daode then sneered, "Huh just you?" He paused for half a second, "Do you know how much a membership of Gambling Emperor Zhai is worth on the black market?"

    "About 30 million yuan." Feng Bujue replied calmly, "However this kind of valuation is of little use because their number of members is currently saturated and they are no longer for sale. And the existing members  You cannot buy, sell or transfer your membership privately." He stretched lazily in front of the camera, "Of course you can use your membership as a bet in the presence of the gambler  ¡­Betting against others, as long as the gambler approves the bet, transfer may occur.¡±

    "It seems that you really follow the rules of Gambling Emperor's House" When Jiang Daode said this, he suddenly thought of something, and he immediately said in shock, "Wait Could it be that you"

    "Yes, I earned my membership." Feng Bujue spread his hands and continued, "Haha speaking of it I feel a little sorry for the guy who took away his qualification from me, because in these years I once  None of them have exercised their rights as members.¡±

    After saying this, Feng Bujue paused for two seconds and then said: "Oh, by the way, I can also tell you about another question in your mind" He continued leisurely, "You must be thinking, even if  I am really a member of Gambling Palace, but members may not know each other, so how do I know your identity?"

    Jiang Daode said nothing and looked at the screen silently, waiting for Brother Jue's answer.

    "Haha Actually, that was also an unexpected gain." Feng Bujue said, "When I was investigating your private life and personal history, I accidentally discovered that you were related to a disappearance case twenty years ago So  , I found a few sources (Bao Qing) who were close to me, retrieved some information from the time, and roughly deduced the whole story" He tilted his head and pointed at Jiang Daode through the video screen.  , "You are not Jiang Daode at all."

    The moment these words were spoken, Jiang Daode felt as if a vat of hot oil had been poured on his forehead, and he jumped up in shock.

      "If I guess correctly" Feng Bujue continued, "Back then, the real Jiang Daode made a bet with you and lost everything."

    "Youwhat are you" This "Jiang Daode" was completely surrounded by fear at this time, and the huge psychological pressure made him hesitate to speak.

    "After the gambling game, Gambling Emperor Zhai disposed of Jiang Daode's body and arranged a secret plastic surgery for you. A year later, they arranged a car accident and killed Jiang Daode's parents in South Korea. So.  As soon as you come, you get his identity, education, appearance, inheritancein short, his entire life." Feng Bujue was still talking, "And you yourselfbecome a missing person, I'm right  Right? Feng"

    "That's enough!" The "Jiang Daode" in front of him didn't let Feng Bujue tell him his original name. He shouted quickly, "You" He glared at Brother Jue, and then pointed at Ouyang Jian, "  and you! You better know who you are dealing with!"

    "Hmphis this another meaningless threat? What's wrong? Do you still want to silence me?" Feng Bujue said, "With all due respect, I don't think you have the courage or ability to use violence yourself. If  If you want to use other methods, then feel free to do it yourself. I would like to seeif you fight me, will you die first or me? Hehehehe" At the end of these words, his face showed  A smile that makes people shudder.

    "You" Jiang Daode sat back on the boss's chair, staring at the screen with his whole body trembling, and asked, "what do you want?"

    "I said I'm just playing a game with you." Feng Bujue said, "I've already called the gambler. We'll start as soon as they arrive."

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

    "Cao Cao is about to arrive. Before he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door of the chairman's room.

    "I'll do it." Ouyang Jian said as he stood up from the chair and walked towards the door.

    Jiang Daode was not in the mood to care about this at the moment. A series of sudden mental blows made his thinking a mess.

    After the person who knocked on the door entered the house, Ouyang Jian shook his hand and closed the door.

    This visitor is a man in a light-colored Tang suit. He looks to be around thirty years old. He has short shiny hair, combed back, and wears a pair of cloth shoes without socks.

    "Hello, Mr. Jiang. We meet again." As soon as he entered the room, he walked straight to the desk and said hello to "Jiang Daode".

    "How did you" Jiang Daode originally wanted to ask the security guard on the first floor how he came up after seeing his appearance, but after he finished speaking, he felt that the question was superfluous, "Forget it, when  I didn't say it." He paused, "Hello, Mr. Kujo"

    ¡°Obviously, this is not the first time that this gambler, Jiu Tiao, has come to preside over a gambling game in which Mr. ¡°Chiang Daode¡± participates.

    "I'm really honored" Kujo said, casting his eyes towards the suitcase on the table and looking at the screen. "Mr. Feng, a member who has never asked for our services, actually contacted the gambler today and also  Make it clearplease choose a gambler who is familiar with Mr. Jiang."

    Hearing this, Jiang Daode couldn't help but glance at Brother Jue again. The weird smile on this kid's face was getting more and more terrifying

    "I just think it would be easier to find a gambler he knows well, lest he suspect that I randomly found a friend to pretend to be someone from Gambling Emperor Zhai." Feng Bujue responded, then continued, "Okay.  Mr. Kujo, I don¡¯t have much time. Since you are here, how about I start telling you the rules?¡±

    "Wait a minute!" Jiang Daode immediately shouted loudly and interrupted, "How can you start the gambling game if you are not present?"

    "Heh there's nothing wrong with that." Feng Bujue shrugged and smiled, "As long as my absence does not lead to any factors that are beneficial to me in terms of rules and gambling content, what's wrong with that?"

    "He's right." Kujo continued, "There is no requirement that gambling parties must face each other before the game can begin. We often encounter remote gambling situations. If there are loopholes in the rules that he can exploit, I will not let the game begin.  .¡±

    Jiang Daode hesitated for a few seconds, and then said: "Okay put the rules aside for now, you first say what do you want to bet with me?"
