1850 American Gold Tycoon

Chapter 92 I will never lose

"Come here, don't bet too much to spoil the fun, I have prepared the table for you."

Liang Yao walked to the table and sat down.

It was the first time in his life that Kony, who was addicted to gambling, hated gambling so much. He subconsciously touched his finger.

Coney was just about to say that his father was Vanderbilt, trying to reject the bet.

But thinking of his father's annoying face, he still didn't say these words.

He thought to himself that Liang Yao was his father's close partner, how could he not know that his father was the famous Commodore Mr. Vanderbilt.Even if you say it, it will be of no use.

Coney mustered up his courage, walked to the gaming table with heavy steps and sat down.

"Mr. Liang, what do you want to play? Monte? Faro? Roulette? Blackjack or blackjack?"

Sitting in front of the gambling table, Kony seems to have regained some confidence. As a senior gambling dog, he is familiar with all gambling methods and tricks.

"I'm not good at gambling, so let's play simple roulette." Liang Yao said lazily.

He is a person who has nothing to do with gambling and drugs, so he chose the simpler roulette.

Stanford personally moved an exquisite roulette table and placed it on the gaming table: "Gentlemen, it is an honor to hold the table for you."

Today's roulette will be held by Stanford himself.

"What about the bet? How do you want to play?" Seeing the familiar roulette wheel, Kony looked a little excited.

"Play ten hands, as long as you can win me once, your debt to the casino will be written off. If you lose, you will let me handle it."

Just as Liang Yao finished speaking, another scream came from the basement.

Coney subconsciously looked towards the place where the sound came from. The casino thugs had just cut off a finger from a gambler.

Seeing that Coney was looking at him, the casino thug exchanged glances with Coney with a smirk on his face, and showed Coney the freshly chopped off finger.Kony was so frightened that he quickly looked back.

Just win one out of ten?
The temptation for Kony is too great, no matter how bad his luck is, he can't even win one of them, right?Coney thought so.

Who is Liang Yao looking down on?
"I bet you!"

Kony's impulse overcame his reason, and now he just wanted to win Liang Yao and get rid of his debts.

"Get ready to lose, Mr. Coney. Although I'm not good at gambling, I'm sure I can win these ten bets." Liang Yao chose a number very casually.

Liang Yao has the final say on who wins and loses in the casinos in California.

"Who do you look down on?" Kony chose his lucky number six.

"Okay, gentlemen, now we are ready to start the first hand."

Stanford skillfully threw the little golden ball in his hand into the roulette set.

In the first hand, Liang Yao won.

In the second hand, Liang Yao won.

The third one was won by Liang Yao.

No matter how the little golden ball turns in the roulette, it will eventually land in the metal grid with the number selected by Liang Yao.

After losing five games in a row, Kony's heartbeat and blood pressure gradually increased. He gave up his lucky number and followed Liang Yao's example to choose a number casually. He chose 9.

Liang Yao seemed to be mocking Connie. This time, he deliberately chose the number 6.

The outcome was as expected. This time, the little golden ball landed in the metal grid with the number 6 after rolling several times in the roulette set.

Without any suspense, Liang Yao won the ninth round so boringly.

By the tenth round, Kony's expression became very tense, and the screams that came to his ears from time to time made him even more upset.

Kony's eyes were fixed on the little Jinqiu inside the roulette, and he focused all his attention on the little golden ball rolling inside the roulette, shouting like crazy: "6! 6! 6!."

This is his tenth chosen number, and I hope this lucky number that belongs to him will bring him good luck.

"9!"

As soon as Liang Yao finished speaking, Xiao Jinqiu landed in the metal grid with number 9 without any suspense.

"Stanford, you know what to do." Liang Yao said to Stanford, the master of the game, with an indifferent expression.

"Come here! Mr. Coney please go to the VIP seat!" Stanford greeted the casino thugs who were being executed.

Coney felt his eyes go dark, and he slumped down on the pine chair in a daze, and passed out.

"This guy can't help but scare him. He's so timid that I wonder if he was born to Mr. Commodore." Stanford walked up to the fainted Coney and patted Coney's face vigorously, but Coney still didn't respond. "I really fainted from fright. I'm doing okay, right? Mr. Liang."

"After all, it's not bad that he's acting in his true colors." Liang Yao waved his hand, signaling for the guards to carry Connie on his back and listen to Taoyuan.

It was already night when Connie woke up.

"Am I in heaven or hell?"

When Kony woke up, the first person he saw when he opened his eyes was Liang Yao. He lifted the quilt and asked nervously after confirming that his limbs were still intact.

"You are still in the world." Liang Yao replied.

"You cheated!" Kony accused Liang Yao of cheating.

This guy wins ten roulettes in a row and doesn't take any acting, he's definitely cheating!

"Is there a casino where you can't cheat?" Liang Yao struck a match and lit his pipe, and slowly exhaled the smoke he inhaled into his lungs from his mouth, "You should be grateful to someone who Rich dad, otherwise he would have gone to hell."

If it wasn't for Kony's father being a wealthy Vanderbilt, not to mention the casinos in California, even the casinos in New York would have killed Kony long ago.

The reason why Kony is alive and kicking is because those casinos feel that they can collect the gambling debts that Kony owed from Vanderbilt, and it is worthwhile to keep Kony's life.

"I'm a bastard, I don't have a father! I'm going to the police station to report the bad behavior of you and Stanford to the police! You kill people!" Coney's angry eyes were filled with fear.

"Do you think Sheriff Flage believes in a well-known and reputable country gentleman and rich businessman, or in a gambler who is full of lies?

Besides, which eye did you see Stanford kill?Log Rivers only owes $600 to the casino, but he's missing three fingers, and he's alive and well. "

Coney was speechless, and even he himself felt that his words were a little naive.

"That's the clothes that Elizabeth asked me to give you before she left. Go take a shower, change into clean clothes, and then come to my study to find me." Liang Yao pointed to the neatly stacked clothes beside the bed and said.

"Elizabeth."

Hearing Elizabeth's name, Connie's eyes couldn't help getting moist, and he silently said Elizabeth's name.

Liang Yao ignored Connie, turned around and went to his study.

"Your letter, sir."

Hu Jinchen, who was working in the study, gave Liang Yao a letter written by Fremont.

Liang Yao hurriedly opened the letter and read it carefully under the lamp.

Considering that the current population of California has reached the standard for statehood, Congress approved California's request for statehood. California will join the United States of America as a free state and become the thirty-first state of the United States of America.

In view of Liang Yao's influence in California, the slaves he made in maintaining the law and order in California, and his contribution to the country in the fight against cholera, the new president, Mr. Fillmore, is considering recommending to Congress to award Liang Yao a silver medal and the title of American Hero In recognition.

Liang Yao didn't care much about these false names.

He was more concerned about the next item. Since Colonel Griffin, the interim sheriff of California, had repeatedly applied to the War Department to return home, the War Department agreed to Colonel Griffin's request.

Fremont and Gwen suggested that President Fillmore appoint Liang Yao as the new sheriff of California and grant Liang Yao the military rank of colonel, allowing Liang Yao to form an infantry regiment to be responsible for the security of the California area to prevent the Indians from invading. Assist Colonel Mason in defending the US-Mexico border when necessary.

The new Minister of War, Charles McGill Conrad, considered that this is an American tradition. After discussions within the War Department, he agreed to the proposal of the new President Fillmore. However, the War Department also stated that there is currently no extra funds. To form a new infantry regiment, the cost of establishing the infantry regiment needs to be borne by the local gentry and wealthy businessmen in California.

The War Department also requested an in-depth investigation into the 1850 raid on Sacramento by deserters from a California military fort.

Ge Wen was already on his way to California with the officials of the Ministry of War with Liang Yao's letter of appointment.

Fremont reminded Liang Yao that Congress will discuss and study whether to recognize the Mexican government in California, and he will do his best to travel in Washington to seek the greatest benefits for the California region.It's just that the current situation is not optimistic. I hope Liang Yao can be mentally prepared.

In addition, Fremont also asked Liang Yao to prepare for the California election in advance to prevent the eastern consortium, especially the New York consortium, from interfering in the California election.Hopefully the election will go ahead as scheduled when Gerwin arrives in California.

The letter ends with a short but powerful sentence: For California.

Signed John Charles Fremont.
