Chapter 116: Pretending to Meet by Chance at the Gambling House

Even if they were discovered, there was no need to worry. Mixing in a few dozen people was very easy. Any more would increase the risk of exposure.

But since the Big Boss already had a countermeasure, he didn't need to mention it again.

"No need, just the four of us will go. Too many people will be conspicuous." Jiang Jinshi responded to Wang Hou with confidence. He wasn't going to fight, so calling people wouldn't be of any use.

In fact, Jiang Jinshi had already thought of the countermeasure Wang Hou thought of, but that was too slow. Every day, only a small number of people could be mixed into the city. Going back and forth, he didn't know how long it would drag on, and there was a risk of exposure.

After all, Jiangcheng was just a small city, and new faces were easy to be suspicious of. And if the number of people entering the city was small, he was afraid of making mistakes and having no one to respond.

So Jiang Jinshi planned to try this method he thought of temporarily first. If it had miraculous effects, it would naturally be the best.

Arriving at the gate of Jiangcheng, which he hadn't visited for a long time, Jiang Jinshi watched the gate from a distance.

Wang Hou asked curiously: "Big Boss, what are you looking at?"

"Looking for someone, but he doesn't seem to be on duty today." After saying this, Jiang Jinshi lifted his feet and walked toward the gate. It didn't matter if he wasn't at the gate; he would just ask.

"Stop, thirty wen per person to enter the city!" The city-guarding soldier leaned against the gate and yawned. Seeing Jiang Jinshi and his party approaching, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly stood straight and stopped them.

You must know that as the entry fee rose higher and higher, many people from nearby villages were unwilling to come to Jiangcheng again, leading to their current income not being as good as when it was five wen.

And Jiang Jinshi and the others looked like people who didn't lack money. This definitely required more copper coins to make up for their losses.

Jiang Jinshi took out a few pieces of broken silver from his bosom and tossed them in his hand.

The city-guarding soldier just reached out to take it, but Jiang Jinshi held the silver, looking like he didn't intend to give it to the other party.

This scene angered the four city-guarding soldiers, who walked straight forward, their hands still on the hilts of their knives, and asked: "If you want to enter the city, give money. If not, get lost!"

"Don't be anxious! I want to enter the city, and I'm asking you all about something on the way." Jiang Jinshi opened his palm again, indicating that he had no malice.

The four looked at each other, their tone much gentler, "What do you want to ask?"

"Last time I played dice with Wang Liu, he won a lot of money from me. Today I came specifically to take revenge, but I didn't see him at this gate, so I came to ask you all."

The person Jiang Jinshi was looking for was Wang Liu, the city-guarding soldier he met when he first crossed over and entered the city.

"Oh! You mean Wang Liu! He is not on duty today. He should be at the gambling house!"

Everyone ate from the same pot, so naturally they wouldn't not know Wang Liu, and Wang Liu was also famous for being a gambler, so what Jiang Jinshi said didn't make them suspicious at all.

Hearing this, the four also loosened their hands on the knife hilts, and even asked curiously: "How much did that kid Wang Liu win from you?"

"A full ten taels of silver! But it's okay, today I will definitely kill him without leaving a piece of armor." As he spoke, Jiang Jinshi took the initiative to hand over the broken silver in his hand.

The four took the silver, immediately stepped aside, and even sent blessings.

"You are glowing today, that kid Wang Liu is afraid he is going to fall."

They said so, but they didn't think so in their hearts. After all, they knew Wang Liu's virtue too well. Even if your luck was good, you had to have money on Wang Liu, this gambler!

"If I win, I will treat you all to wine!" Jiang Jinshi laughed, as if he was extremely happy because of what they said.

After Jiang Jinshi and the four walked far away, one of them suddenly said: "When did Wang Liu ever win so much silver? Never heard him say it!"

"With his virtue, maybe he won here and went to lose elsewhere. Isn't that still losing?"

"That's true!"

Along the way, no one spoke. Jiang Jinshi followed his memory to the gambling house that the original owner liked most.

The wide-open door didn't mean to cover anything. Jiang Jinshi lifted his feet and walked in.

The gambling house was crowded at the moment, and no one paid attention to Jiang Jinshi and the others.

Jiang Jinshi scanned the circle and finally found his target.

At this moment, Wang Liu was watching others place bets with relish beside one of the gambling tables, even though the money on his body had been lost, it didn't affect his love for staying here.

"Place your bets, open! One, three, four, small."

Seeing this, Wang Liu immediately patted the person beside him, "Look, I just said this one would open small, you still didn't believe me!"

"Then what do you say this one will open?" This person was sweating profusely, and his expression was very anxious. Obviously, he had also lost a lot.

"I can say it, but if you win, you have to share two wen with me!" Wang Liu was triumphant. This was why he liked to stay in the gambling house even if he had no money. Sometimes he guessed right, and he could share one or two wen to turn the tables for himself.

At this moment, this person had no confidence to place a bet, but was unwilling to share the money he won with others for nothing, so he could only bargain.

"One! Take it or leave it."

"Done! You listen to me, this one is still small!" Wang Liu immediately guessed blindly, anyway, losing wasn't his own money.

This person gritted his teeth and pushed all the dozen or so wen in his hand onto the gambling table.

Jiang Jinshi stood behind Wang Liu and watched this scene. Others would only think that Jiang Jinshi was looking at the gambling table.

"Small! Small! Small!" The two shouted in unison, as if the dice would obey them!

"Place your bets, open! Three, six, six, big!" As the dealer's voice fell, the two finally had no sound.

"Ah? You liar, return my money!"

"Return your mother! You gambled it yourself, what does it have to do with me!" Wang Liu turned his face and didn't recognize anyone. This was not the first time he had encountered such a scene, and he was not panicked at all.

Jiang Jinshi saw that the time was about right, pretended to meet by chance, and greeted Wang Liu from behind.

"Isn't this Brother Wang? How is your luck today?"

Wang Liu turned his head and looked at Jiang Jinshi. For a while, he couldn't remember who this person was.

"Who are you?"

"Tsk! Brother Wang, I am Jiang Jinshi! I often saw you in this gambling house before. You have a noble person who forgets things, right?" Jiang Jinshi's tone carried blame, but his face was smiling, a face that was extremely happy after seeing an old friend.

"Oh oh! Remembered, the bookworm!" Wang Liu patted his head and finally remembered Jiang Jinshi.

It was just that the person in front of him was very different from his impression. Not only was his dress exceptionally elegant, but even the fabric was a price he knew at a glance that he couldn't afford.

"Haven't seen you for a while!" Wang Liu pretended to exchange pleasantries, but actually wanted to chat a few more words and then ask if Jiang Jinshi had made any windfall.

"That's not it, I just played for a while and saw you." Jiang Jinshi's smile became more and more intense.

"Won or lost?" Mentioning gambling, Wang Liu became interested.

Jiang Jinshi's smiling face collapsed, and he waved his hand and sighed: "Pah! Don't mention it. Today, whatever I bet on, I lose. In just such a while, I lost five taels of silver. Not playing anymore!"

Hearing that Jiang Jinshi lost whatever he bet on, and lost so much, Wang Liu suddenly had a small thought.

"Then why don't we find a place where no one is around to reminisce about the past, and gamble two rounds by the way?" ===== CHAPTER 117 =====
