"I am here today for official business."

Gong Liangmin's voice was like cold jade, and he was naturally extremely aggressive. He glanced sideways at the boy, then raised his feet and walked around him, heading in the direction of Hu Xianyu.

The boy opened his eyes wide and watched as the three guards followed Master Shangshu and walked past him one by one. He didn't know where to put his hands, his palms were soaked in cold sweat, and he hurriedly chased after them.

Hu Xianyu, who was sitting at the gambling table, didn't notice Gong Liangmin getting closer and closer behind him. He looked at the two strong men behind him again and shouted excitedly: "I can still bet, I can still bet! My father But a fifth-grade bachelor's degree student must be rich! He will definitely send me money! Just let me bet again!"

One of the strong men said impatiently: "Your father probably can't even remember which son you are. If he really cared about you, he would have come here with the ransom a long time ago. Why are you wasting it here?"

There was unabashed mockery and sarcasm in his tone.

"Impossible, this is impossible!" Hu Xianyu glanced at the machete on the table in front of him, his face turned pale, and his whole body was shaking.

He now owes the gambling house hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and he can't spare a penny. If Li Sheng doesn't bring over some of Princess Yutong's gold and silver jewelry today, he will really be cut off. arm……

Hu Xianyu gritted his teeth and made his final resistance. He shouted at the two warriors: "My servant Li Sheng has already gone to get the money. Can you just wait a little longer? He will bring it to the palace right away." The fine gold and silver jewelry will definitely pay off the debt I owe, and if I get more, I can still gamble a few more games."

At this point, his eyes flashed with excitement, and he grabbed the strong man's hand, bursting into tears, and begged: "So before Li Sheng comes over, I can play a few more games, please." Let me bet one more round, just one round, and I will definitely be able to make a comeback in this round!"

"Sit down!" The strong man threw his hand away and angrily shouted: "If you say one more word, I will chop off one of your fingers first."

Hu Xianyu was so excited that he quickly put his hands in his sleeves, turned around, and sat down properly.

At this moment, Gong Liangmin walked directly in front of him, his eyes were much darker than before, he leaned over and asked: "Do you really want to play another game?"

Hearing these words, Hu Xianyu immediately raised his head, thinking that an old friend was coming, but when he took a closer look, he turned out to be Gong Liangmin, the Minister of Civil Affairs. He was so frightened that he suddenly pressed against the back of the chair, and it took him a long time to stutter out a greeting: "Sir, Lord Shangshu?"

"Yes." Gong Liangmin nodded and looked around Hu Xianyu. There was no change in his face. He continued to ask: "Do you want to gamble again? If you lose, it's my fault."

Hu Xianyu's eyes instantly flashed with a glimmer of light, but he was really afraid of this official minister. He bit his lower lip and hesitated to agree.

At this moment, some people had gathered around them, and there was a yellow-faced man with a fierce look who was already eager to try. He urged: "Do you want to bet or not? With Lord Shangshu here, what are you afraid of? ?”

Gong Liangmin's eyes flashed across the dice cup on the table. He hadn't touched these things for a long time, but now his hands felt a little itchy. He looked at the timid Hu Xianyu again and said angrily: "Aren't you Xian Yu Lai Feng? You are also known as the master of gambling. , really don’t dare to gamble again for the last time?”

His voice was clean and clear, with a hint of demagogy. Hu Xianyu couldn't resist the temptation, so he nodded as if he was willing to give up, "Bet! I still want to bet on the last round."

"Okay, I admire your courage." Gong Liangmin stood behind him, watching quietly.

The yellow-faced man sat directly across the table, took out a few banknotes from his chest, slapped the table with his palm, and then looked at Hu Xianyu provocatively, but his eyes glanced at Gong Liangmin behind him. . Everyone looked at the Master Shangshu expectantly, wanting to see what kind of bargaining chip he could bring. After all, he just said, 'If he loses, it's his'.

At this time, the young man from the gambling house dared to come forward and talk to him. He bowed and said: "Xian Yu Lai Feng has already lost all his money. If Master Shangshu insists on asking him to gamble, you have to come..."

Before the boy finished speaking, Gong Liangmin took out a gold ingot from his sleeve, threw it on the table, and said in a calm tone: "Just play dice, let's get started."

"Okay, okay, I'll arrange it right away." The boy finally moved his eyes away from the gold ingot, quickly grabbed two dice cups, opened them at the same time, and showed everyone that there were five dice in each. Then they were placed in front of Hu Xianyu and the yellow-faced man.

The two looked at each other, picked up the dice cup at the same time, and started shaking it. The big man with the yellow face seemed to be very confident. He shook it a few times quickly, and with a 'bang' sound, he put the dice cup on the table and stared at the opponent's hand closely. Putting the dice cup on the table, he confidently called out: "Three three points."

"Woohoo!" Someone nearby shouted, which pushed the atmosphere of the scene to a climax. All eyes were fixed on the dice cup in Hu Xianyu's hand, and the excitement could not be suppressed in his eyes.

Hu Xianyu actually felt a little guilty, and he shook the dice cup very slowly. He was originally afraid of Gong Liangmin standing behind him, but now that he was being stared at by so many people, his heart jumped into his throat and he could not sit still.

After shaking the dice cup for a long time and still not settling, he stretched out another hand and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with a shiver. Just when he was about to continue shaking the dice cup, Gong Liangmin behind him suddenly stretched out his hand and touched it. His hand shook a few times, forcing him to place the dice cup on the table.

This series of actions was too fast. By the time everyone reacted, Gong Liangmin had already retracted his hand. As if he didn't see the strangeness in everyone's eyes, he looked at Hu Xianyu and said, "Call the count. He has already called 'three three o'clock'. And you?"

"Ah?" Hu Xianyu turned back stiffly, his mouth opened in surprise, and asked again in disbelief: "My, my name?"

Gong Liangmin raised his eyebrows as a matter of course, with a hint of threat in his tone: "You rolled the dice and you didn't count them. How could you ask me to count them for you?"

Hu Xianyu's face instantly turned pale. It was Gong Liangmin who was shaking the dice cup, but he was asked to count, this, this, this...

He stared at Gong Liangmin for a long time, hoping that he would give him some hints, but there was no unnecessary expression on Gong Liangmin's face.

"Huh?" Gong Liangmin looked at him with raised eyebrows and snorted coldly, with a rising tone, as if he was urging and warning Hu Xianyu calmly.

"The official called, the official called the number!" Hu Xianyu quickly turned his head, put his eyes on the gaming table again, and casually called "three five o'clock" with trembling lips.

Gong Liangmin quietly ordered: "Open the cup."

Because of the interference of the Minister of Civil Affairs, everyone present did not dare to speak anymore. Even the arrogant yellow-faced man slumped down, reluctantly opened the dice cup, and looked at the table as expected. on the dice.

There were five dice in total. He called "three threes" and rolled out "four threes and one two". This game was considered a sure win.
