At the beginning, his wife came to him, and he became rich by selling kidney treasures.

"Dear guest, please come in! Please come in!" A servant walked to the door and spoke with a flattering look on his face.

Although Ren Hao was dressed casually, the casino did not discriminate against anyone, rich or poor.

Even someone who doesn't have a penny is still a VIP guest of the casino.

The reason why casinos are so harmful to people is that, apart from causing people to lose everything they have, they also have to take on high-interest loans.

The gambler’s mentality is that if he wins, he wants to win more, and if he loses, he wants to make up for his losses. If he has money, he will continue to invest money. If he has no money, he will borrow usury. Under the compounding interest, I don’t know how many families have been ruined.

Only the banker wins.

The casino rules state that for every bet, a certain percentage will be taken from the winning gambler, which is called the rake.

Because the winning gamblers have already won, they will not care about the commission this time.

But the casino is sure to make a profit. Although the commission each time is not much, but if it happens ten times, a hundred times, or ten thousand times, no matter how much money you have, you will be destitute.

Eventually all the money will flow into the hands of the dealer.

And this money belongs to the gamblers. Even though some individuals make money, the money flows steadily to the dealer.

This is why long-term gambling is bound to lead to failure.

It's just like taxation. No matter how rich you are, you can't resist being taxed again and again.

Led by the servant, Ren Hao walked into the casino.

When he came inside, the smoky scene made Ren Hao frown immediately.

There were about seventy or eighty gamblers gathered here, playing dice, Pai Gow and other gambling cards at the gambling table.

From time to time there was shouting and yelling, accompanied by bursts of scolding.

Seeing Ren Hao's expression, the servant hurriedly said, "Master, are you not satisfied with this place? We have a second floor in our casino, and it's quiet on the second floor."

Ren Hao shook his head: "No need, I can play by myself."

"Yes, sir!" The servant nodded and turned to leave.

It’s not that Ren Hao doesn’t want to go to the second floor, but the money in his pocket can only be used for playing on the first floor at most. The gambling on the second floor should be bigger.

Touching the silver in his arms, Ren Hao walked around and observed the situation at several gambling tables.

The simplest one is to roll the dice, bet on the size, or numbers like leopard and straight.

But the odds for big and small are very low. If you want to bet one hundred taels, you need to win at least ten times in a row. Ren Hao doesn't think he has such good luck.

The odds for the leopard and straight cards were higher. He could win more than a hundred taels in one bet by betting the few taels of silver he had in his pocket.

But how can a leopard straight be drawn so easily?

It often happens dozens of times before it happens again.

But Ren Hao doesn't know the gambling techniques of Pai Gow.

After walking around the casino, Ren Hao was about to place a bet on the dice, ready to try his luck.

But at this moment, Ren Hao's body was suddenly bumped by someone. A sloppy old man came over picking his nose, which attracted a lot of curses from people.

The old man smiled and was not afraid. He looked at the table and said, "Who is willing to lend me ten taels of silver? If I win, I will pay him back one thousand taels!"

"Get out of the way!" A gambler next to him pushed the old man.

"There's something wrong with you coming here every day!"

"This old man is probably crazy!"

"What bad luck!"

Many people cursed.

Obviously, no one would be stupid enough to lend their money to this old man, and ten taels at that.

Seeing that no one paid attention to him, the old man turned around and left.

When passing by Ren Hao, the old man said as usual: "Brother, lend me ten taels. If I win, I will return you one thousand taels..."

Then the old man waited for Ren Hao to scold him and drive him away.

But Ren Hao suddenly reached into his arms, took out the only ten taels of silver he had on him, and put them in the old man's hand.

The old man was immediately dumbfounded.

He had been here for several months and was used to everyone rejecting and insulting him, but this was the first time that Ren Hao gave him money.

"You..." The old man was a little dumbfounded.

Ren Hao smiled slightly: "Why? If you don't want it, you can give it back to me."

"I want it! I want it!" the old man said quickly, with an excited look on his face. He rushed to the table holding the silver and laughed: "Come on, old man, I have money!"

The eyes of the people around fell on Ren Hao.

Everyone looked at Ren Hao as if he were a fool.

"Brother, are you out of your mind? Look at this old man, how could he gamble? He will lose all your money sooner or later!"

"Even if he wins, you won't get the money."

"Shabi..."

Many people began to ridicule.

Ren Hao, however, had a blank expression on his face. He sat calmly beside the old man and watched him gamble.

The old man got the money, and now he exposed his arms, rolled up his sleeves, and shouted loudly, looking like an amateur, which made many gamblers eager to try their luck.

In their opinion, this old man is such an amateur that he will definitely lose very quickly. If they don’t come up and gamble with him now, what are they waiting for?

So everyone placed their bets.

Ren Hao looked at the old man indifferently, with a smile flashing in his eyes.

He just saw clearly that the old man seemed to have something hidden in his sleeves. He was a thief!

Moreover, he stole a person's silver without anyone noticing, but he didn't steal all of it, just a little bit.

This old man has only been here for a short while, but he has already stolen a lot of money.

The old man knew that no one would lend him money, so he used this method to attract other people's attention and then took the opportunity to steal money.

Ren Hao felt that since this old man could steal money, his gambling skills must be pretty good too.

So give the old man a push, maybe he'll get a surprise.

Just then, the sieve on the table opened.

Straight, four, five, six!

Everyone looked ashen, even the dealer had his eyes wide open.

Only the old man laughed and took all the money on the table into his arms, more than one hundred taels!

Ren Hao narrowed his eyes slightly, walked forward, pressed the old man on the table, took all the money, left ten taels for the old man, and then left.

Ren Hao decided to stop while he was ahead. After all, they were in the territory of ancient Wu, so in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Ren Hao was naturally cautious.

Holding the money, Ren Hao came to the intersection, but the scarred woman who was there before had disappeared.

Ren Hao felt helpless. Perhaps this was what they called fate.

I originally wanted to find an expert to help me, but I missed it unexpectedly.

It’s getting late now, and I have to find a boat to leave early tomorrow morning. It seems there is no chance.

Thinking of this, Ren Hao returned to the inn. Wen Yan had already fallen asleep, so Ren Hao made a bed on the floor and slept on it.

Silent all night.

The next morning, Ren Hao got up early, went to the dock, and found a ship going to Gu Han for business.

After bargaining, Ren Hao spent ten taels of silver and bought four boat tickets.

Just as Ren Hao passed the intersection, he suddenly stopped and his eyes fell on the scarred woman on the street.

"He's still here!" Ren Hao's eyes lit up and he walked forward.

The woman seemed not to see it and continued to sit there motionless.

Ren Hao looked her up and down, then took out a hundred taels of silver from his arms and threw it directly into the woman's arms.

The woman, who still had a dazed look on her face, suddenly raised her head and looked at Ren Hao with surprise.

"Cry Nicky!"
