Chapter 33: Schemes to Kill
" Aha, So this Young Noble want to bet Ten Thousand Gold Coins?" The Dealer asked with a smile.
" Yes. Let it be big." Yang Shi said with a smile.
" Let me start a new game then." The dealer said.
" Tell me, what are the rules of the game? The higher value wins or the smaller? Or are we guessing the values?" Yang Shi asked in an impatient manner.
The dealer became ecstatic," "We can bet either on higher or on smaller scores. What do you think?"
" Ok. The Bigger value wins." Yang Shi agreed. Ther are three dices on the board.
The dealer first threw the dice. He got two Fives and a Six. Total was Sixteen points. Yang Shi needs to get at least 17 to win.
Yang Shi picked the dice, but he cursed in his heart. " Damn it, not only they drugged the tea, but also tempered the dice." He could feel that the weight of dice are not balanced. It can cause a person to lose.
The dice weren't weighing to one side. This meant that the dice weren't filled with one type of metal. Yang Shi understood that the dice were filled with mercury as they were uniform in weight.
Only the person familiar with these kinds of dice could roll out his desired score. An average person couldn't do anything about it even if he knew that he had been cheated. However, Yang Shi…
Yang Shi exhaled a long breath. He then twisted his wrist and tossed the dice into the dice cup. The dice collided with the cup with a loud sound. Simultaneously, Yang Shi placed his right hand on the table and issued a thin strand of Internal energy toward the dice cup.
Using Spiritual Qi in this game is considered cheating, But who can possibly identify Yang Shi's special Internal Energy. This is the special cheat of Yang Shi.
Everyone's eyes were widened in shock as they saw the dice rolling in the cup. The dice kept on rolling for a short while before coming to a stop.
"How's it possible?" The dealer cried out. He looked depressed. The three dice rolled by Yang Shi displayed the scores of six, five, and another six. His score was one point higher than the Dealer.
Yang Shi's money got doubled. But he again betted and won Ten Thousand Gold coins. He had total Thirty Thousand Gold Coins now. But Yang Shi didn't dare to continue to bet, because of two reasons.
First, While he was playing, He saw that Ye Zheng came in and went to the Maiden Hall.
Secondly, He knows the rules of a gambling house well. It would be best if he keep it low.
The power behind the gambling house and brothels are enormous. And Yang Shi doesn't want to get caught in unnecessary trouble.
He quickly withdraw all his money and rushed to Maiden Hall. Maiden hall is basically the main attraction of Jade Lake Palace. Its Where the peoples enjoy with girls.
But only a few, rich and influential youngsters can afford to sleep with girls. Girls of maiden halls are just proud and throw around. In Yang Shi's eyes, They are just some thots who need banging.
Most peoples are only here to see the girls dancing. Some more rich peoples can sit and drink with them. But even that takes too much money. Of course, For powerful clan's people or a Big sect's disciple are exemption.
Yang Shi had to pay a fee of five thousand gold coins to enter.
" Damn, Just to see prostitutes, I have to pay this much." Yang Shi cursed.
Yang Shi wandered about inside the Maiden Hall. Each room was full. The entire venue had been packed with peoples.
" Damn, Where is this Ye Zheng? It seems he is already starting to play."
It was far too early to be going at it within the rooms, so it seemed he needed to wait a bit longer.
" Hmm." Yang Shi suddenly saw three peoples with Primordial Spirit Awakening Realm. The looked like bodyguards. Then also find out a youth, Who is talking sweetly to a beautiful girl.
" Miss Man's beauty is truly unrivaled. I can do anything to see your smile. I hope Miss Man will accompany me for a night, to discuss about music."
The youth shamelessly said.
Due to Yang Shi's sharp senses, He could hear the talk from far. Yang Shi smirked. He could already guess what kind of musical sound the girl will make on the bed.
The girl smiled and worriedly said," But I think I am not good enough for you. Young Master Ye is a very busy person after all."
" Heh, All work can wait before the Miss Man." The young man said.
This Young man is Ye Zheng. Yang Shi already spotted his prey. From Looks, This young man is just a lamb for slaughter.
Yang Shi saw two of them are entering the room.
" Perfect chance. First I have to distract the bodyguards." Yang Shi rushed to the bodyguards and said, " Are you the bodyguards of Youn Master Ye?"
" Yes. Why Do you ask?" The bodyguard asked sternly. Clearly, he looks powerful.
" A person was inquiring about the Young Master Ye. He looked very strange. And there was a strange mark on his shoulder. Looked like a moon." Yang Shi said, while pondering.
Hearing it, The bodyguards face stiffened. One of them worriedly said, " It what we are thinking is true, We have to act fast. Number two, go check out the person. We two will stay here." One of them said.
The person called number two nodded and asked Yang Shi, " Can You take me to him?
" Of course, But I think he should have left." Yang Shi said.
" Just come with me and identify him. We will give you some good reward."
Yang Shi's eyes glittered and he agreed immediately. But in his mind, He is laughing hard.
" The trap has been set."
Number two followed Yang Shi to the gambling hall. Yang Shi saw here and there and said,
" I guess, We need to split up. That person will get suspicious If he see you. I can do the work of your stead. Here, Please sit and drink tea."
" Hmm, Ok, But call me If you see him." The bodyguard drank the special fragrant tea of Gambling Hall.
