Chapter 25 23. Meet Brother Zhao for the first time

It was a coincidence, when I was fooling around in the magic class, I got to know the second master Zhao Ge.Brother Zhao is not a member of the magic class, he is a friend of brother Li in the magic class. At that time, there was a new underground casino in the local area, and I went to play occasionally, mainly because I liked the atmosphere there, and the wins and losses were not big.The uncle in the magic class didn’t get it right, and he lost 20,000 to 30,000 yuan in just over a week. He didn’t have much money in his hand, and he sighed after losing. I asked my uncle and Brother Li to go drink, and shared the inside story of the casino I knew with them. After talking for a while, at the end, he sighed and said, "I don't know how to do it, or my buddies can get some back."

Brother Li didn't speak all the time. He listened carefully to what I said in the casino. Hearing what I said, he asked me: "If there are really masters doing it, and the people in the casino don't find out, can the winning money be taken away?" I quickly said: "That's no problem. I have a friend named Sanyuan. He has some supernatural powers. It's not a problem at all to win people over by fighting. He is very capable in that area, but there are no masters. If there are masters, he is not afraid of casinos. Give money." Brother Li nodded, he should have heard of Sanyuan's reputation.This kid is considered number one in the city's underworld. There are many people in the magic class, and he knows a lot about black and white.

Brother Li pondered for a while, and said, "It's good that they have Sanyuan's support. I'll contact the master, and we'll get him a vote." Brother Li used to be a magician in an acting class or some theater troupe. Later, the troupe disbanded and everyone went their separate ways.A magician who has a good relationship with him and specializes in playing poker, he did not know where he learned the craft, and became a professional trickster with quite clever tricks, but he didn't explain exactly how to do it.Over the years, they have been in frequent contact with each other.

I was a little worried that the master would not accept Brother Li's account. Brother Li patted his chest and said, "As long as you can take the money, it's just a matter of calling him." Afterwards, I asked Sanyuan and the others out to discuss with Brother Li and Uncle Tang, and finally decided to give it a try. A few days later, Brother Li called to say that his senior brother was here, and asked Sanyuan and me to meet up. We made an appointment to meet at a seafood restaurant that night, and I went to book a private room in advance. In the evening, Sanyuan and I went there early, and after a while, Brother Li brought two middle-aged people.These two people are about 50 years old, and they don't look unusual, and their accents are from Tangshan.

Brother Li pointed to the one with short hair and introduced to me: "This is Baoquan, a brother of my magic troupe." Then he pointed to another one with the back hair and said, "This is Brother Zhao, a friend of Baoquan." Quietly told me: "Baoquan felt that it was a bit difficult to get money from the field for his craftsmanship, so he dragged Brother Zhao along. This Brother Zhao is very resourceful." Brother Zhao later became my second master.But at that time, I didn't have the idea of ​​apprenticeship, I just wanted to get money from the casino. During the meal, I described the rules and details of the casino in detail, and the results of my observations of the local casinos, including which lights are dark, how old they are, what accents and so on. —The two of them repeatedly confirmed with Sanyuan whether they could take away the winnings and whether there would be any trouble. Sanyuan guaranteed that it would not be a problem to take away the winnings, so they were a little relieved, but they proposed to go and have a look at night. Decide to play or not to play.

The casino opened at 9:00 p.m. We split up and went our separate ways. My uncle brought the two foreigners into the casino, and we went by ourselves. After we went, we pretended not to know each other, and agreed that we would only watch and not play that day. When I entered the casino that night, I kept my eyes on them, following them intentionally or unintentionally.The two of them didn't just watch the fun, they bought 5,000 chips each, and bet randomly on each table. Except for the dice and kong, they bet on all the poker tables.They didn't stay at the same table for a long time, they won when they won, and they lost when they lost, and they bet with others every time, only two or three hundred.Of course, if you bet less, you are not entitled to check the cards, and the two of them don't care at all.

By 1 o'clock in the middle of the night, they had almost lost all the 10,000 in their hands, and Baoquan went to exchange another 10,000 chips, and continued to bet randomly. After 3 o'clock, Brother Zhao stood in front of the blackjack table, occupied two doors by himself, and bet 500 and 800 money.I also leaned over to watch the excitement, and took some small money to throw behind others.But I deliberately didn't go to the two schools with Brother Zhao.In less than an hour, Brother Zhao had no more chips in his hand, and he lost all the chips in Baoquan's hand again. With a helpless look, he reluctantly said to the croupier at 21 o'clock: "I lost it all. It’s too much, I don’t want to play anymore.” Then he left with Baoquan.

The main character is gone, and it's meaningless for us to continue playing, so we also left.Meeting with Brother Zhao and the others, Brother Zhao said: "This casino is okay, it can be operated, there is no problem, so I just take the money to lose." ?So I offered to pay what I lost. Brother Zhao chuckled, his eyelids wrinkled at least four times when he laughed, and said, "No need, this small amount of money will be returned in one go, but can you guarantee that the casino will not be bad when you win?" Sanyuan took over the conversation: "Let's go on, Brother Zhao, go play, and I'll exchange the winnings for cash. In addition, I'll find some brothers to go in. If something happens to the casino, we won't be afraid of him." Brother Zhao thought for a while , I think it's okay, nodding my head is a tacit consent.

At that time, I wasn't worried about Sanyuan, but I was a little worried about Brother Zhao, so I said, "If someone catches you cheating, the money won't be easy to take away." Baoquan said firmly: "Don't worry, no one can catch it." Although I know that they lost money to support the bureau, I still feel a little uneasy, and I have never seen their methods. I am afraid of losing money. up. I asked Brother Zhao: "What is your level, show me." Brother Zhao said: "That's not something to show, it's the cooking skills, you can't act randomly." I got awkward with him at that time, and took out a deck of cards.During that time, I played poker almost every day and practiced my skills.Brother Zhao was not very happy when he saw me bring poker up, and said, "Since I dare to come, it will be fine. You are too kind."

Baoquan said: "Make one for him to see, otherwise he won't know the heights of heaven and earth." Brother Zhao nodded.He asked me to shuffle the cards and deal the cards by myself. According to the rules of the stare, four players were dealt, and 9 points was the highest.I was shuffling the cards in a hurry, and he laughed again, and said, "Looking at the way you hold the poker, you are not a good person." I'm also a little embarrassed, I was seen by others, and I didn't dare to play tricks.After the cards were shuffled, he asked me to cut and deal the cards myself.I randomly dealt four cards.

He probably wanted to make a fool of me, teach me a lesson, pretended not to understand the rules of staring, and asked me: "What is the biggest?" "9 o'clock!" I was very annoyed when I asked him. "Oh." He casually flipped up two cards in front of me: a 3 and a 7, which turned out to be "to ten", the smallest point in the eyes.Because I didn't play tricks, I didn't know what time I was dealt, and I thought I was dealt these two cards to myself.I asked him: "You can do it and see? See what a powerful method it is." He patted the back of PolyU, smiled, and said, "I'm done, you're more than ten, so you don't need to read my cards." I didn’t see anything, and I didn’t believe it at all, so I said, “Brother, you’re talking nonsense.” He looked at me as if he was looking at a fool, and said, “If you come again, you’d better shuffle, cut and deal the cards yourself.” I was very uncomfortable for him to see, and this hand has a long-term mind. When I collected the cards, I edited a 9 point of 7+2. 9 o'clock." As if he didn't hear me, he asked me: "How do you know that you are at 9 o'clock?" I was also amused, and said: "Don't I know the cards I dealt?" "Really, let me see." As he said that, he stretched out his hand and turned over my poker. It turned out to be 9+1, or ten! I was stupid on the spot, I met an expert!We were in the bathing center at the time, he was wearing a disposable bathrobe, most of his arms were exposed, I didn't care how he did it the first time, but I kept staring at him the second time, and I was confused about the technique of what cards to deal to myself Still quite confident.The most amazing thing is that he has been half leaning on another big lying bed, and only leaned over when he revealed my card. How the hell did he do it in such a short time?Why didn't I see it?I hurriedly went to find the edited 2 and 7, flipped through the developed cards, and found that these two cards were actually at the Tianmen (I was at the end gate at the time). At that time, I thought to myself: "Damn it, it's impossible. Could it be that I dealt the wrong card, probably not, how did this guy do it?" I still refused to accept it and wanted to continue to compete with him.But Brother Zhao seems to be asleep, and he doesn't care about my stubble at all.The person was invited by me, and it's not good to always test people.Lying back on my big recliner, I still couldn't believe it, and carefully checked the poker in my hand, 54 cards, that's right.How did he do that?I have insomnia.
