"If it's true, let's go and gamble a few more times. Twenty taels of silver is enough for one round, which we can afford. That guy said this thing can be exchanged for three hundred taels!" Xiao said excitedly.

"Don't get too excited. We don't know whether this thing is real or fake. But just now someone at the scene offered us a hundred taels of silver. It's probably not fake." Amu added a temporary plot to whet Jiang Mu's appetite.

Xiao Shi was also very clever and replied, "That's because Amu's gambling skills are so good. We are going to make a fortune!"

"Let's not talk about it for now. We've arrived at the pawn shop. Let's go check the authenticity first."

When Jiang Mu heard the word "gamble", his eyes lit up instantly. When he heard about this method of making a small profit with a big investment, he was immediately excited and followed Amu and Xiaoshi involuntarily.

Amu and Xiaoshi sneered in their hearts, held the bronze compass and walked into the pawn shop, and came out after a while.

Xiao was overjoyed, unable to suppress his excitement, and whispered, "Brother Amu! I've made a fortune! I never thought it was worth three hundred and fifty taels!"

Jiang Mu's eyes widened when he heard this. He winked and asked the servant to go in and find out, while he quietly followed Amu and Xiaoshi.

After a while, the servant caught up with him and said in a low voice, "Master, yes, they did pawn 350 taels."

"Let's go! Follow us and take a look!"

"Master, could this be a trick?" the servant stopped him worriedly.

"Fuck you! Are you trying to cheat you of your sex or your money? You poor bastard!" Jiang Mu slapped him again.

The servant was angry but dared not say anything. He could only lower his head and follow behind him.

Amu and Xiaoshi wandered around and passed through several alleys before they stopped in front of a hidden house. They knocked on the wooden door with a secret code and the person inside opened the door and let them in.

Jiang Mu soon followed and also secretly learned Amu's codeword. The person inside opened the door and looked out, and saw two strangers. He looked around cautiously, and only let them in when he saw that there was no one following him.

Unexpectedly, the house was quite big and bright. Twenty or thirty people were gathered around a table placing bets, shouting and gambling. It was very lively and immediately aroused the gambling bug in Jiang Mu's heart.

He looked at it for a while and soon figured out the trick, which was to buy on the banker or the player.

Twenty taels of silver per game.

The loser’s money will naturally be confiscated, while the winner will each get an antique. The antiques are of different sizes, and their value will not be less than the gambling stake, but how much money one can get from pawning them depends on one’s ability.

"Place your bets! Place your bets! Hurry up if you want to place your bets." The first person to start the game was a skinny "lazy" man.

Then everyone threw their silver coins down.

Jiang Mu was tempted to buy some. But he was still very cautious. He pulled a person next to him and asked, "Little brother, aren't you afraid of being cheated? What if these antiques are fake?"

The man looked at him strangely and said, "Brother, is this your first time playing this? Master Xue's stuff can't be fake. If you're worried, then don't play. But don't stop me from placing bets."

After one round, of course, only a few people won. The owner of the manor smiled and took the silver. He winked and gave each of the people waiting nearby a small antique. Some took it on the spot to verify its authenticity, while others continued to place bets.

Jiang Mu decided to play a little. He didn't have any silver, so he took off his jade pendant and pulled Amu next to him and said, "My little brother, my jade pendant is worth a lot of money. How about exchanging it for fifty taels?"

Seeing that he had taken the bait, Amu took the jade pendant and pretended to verify it, then quickly handed over fifty taels.

Jiang Mu got the silver and immediately turned around to place a bet. As expected, he won and got a jade Guanyin.

He turned around and told the servant to go to the pawn shop immediately. The servant came back quickly and gave him 100 taels!

Jiang Mu was so excited! He played five games in a row and won five games in a row. He asked his servant to pawn it again. After a round of trading, he actually got back more than 600 taels!

Most of the money he lost in the gambling house was recovered here in one go, so no wonder he was excited.

Fu Lifeng took a sip of tea and couldn't help laughing as he looked at Lin Zhuwei who was calmly listening to the servant's report across from him.

"Sister-in-law, Jiang Mu has made a net profit of 670 taels. If he stops now, you will lose everything."

Lin Zhuwei's eyes sparkled as he smiled, "He won't. Gamblers are always greedy. If they win, they think their gambling skills are invincible and they just want to win more. If they lose, they want to make up for their losses, which will only make them sink deeper and deeper, even if they lose everything they have."

Fu Lifeng nodded in agreement. He admired his sister-in-law more and more.

For eight consecutive days, whenever the game started, Jiang Mu would stay in the gambling house, winning and losing.

The dealer has exchanged all the small items in his hand. The bigger the object is, the bigger the bet will naturally be.

But Jiang Mu was lucky. The bigger the bet, the more he earned. He pawned most of the items he won, and after counting, he actually got more than one thousand taels.

He was so excited that he was passionate and couldn't sleep all night. He came to the gambling house early in the morning with the silver bills.

"Today's game costs one thousand taels. Bet on this little golden Buddha." The dealer pointed at the little golden Buddha on the table and said, "This little pure gold Buddha with a thick arm costs much more than one thousand taels. Who else wants to place a bet?"

The little golden Buddha is shining with golden light, and it is rare to find it on the market. It is indeed expensive. But after all, it costs one thousand taels per round, and not many people have the courage and financial resources to do so.

But Jiang Mu was eager to make a move. Firstly, the money he had was earned through winnings, so he was not afraid of losing. Secondly, he was worried about what birthday gift to give to the old man, and this small gift to Buddha was perfect.

So he hesitated for a moment before deciding to place the bet.

This game was too big, and he was the only one who dared to place a bet, so it became a game between Jiang Mu and the dealer.

Jiang Mu enjoyed the astonished gazes of the crowd very much, and he was even more desperate in his heart.

The dealer on the opposite side was obviously very nervous as well. He spat into his hands twice before opening the dice cup with trembling hands.

"Wow! What a pity!"

"Just a little bit!"

Today's bet is Big or Small. Best of Three.

After the tie, the last game was the deciding game, and Jiang Mu lost by just a little bit.

In an instant, he was like a deflated ball, with bloodshot eyes and a ferocious face, as he watched the dealer smilingly take away his banknotes and the little golden Buddha.

"Okay, okay, today's gambling is over, let's go, let's go again tomorrow." The dealer cleaned up the table, waved his hand, and everyone dispersed.

But Jiang Mu refused to do it.

He lost the game today, not only did he lose all his money, but he also lost more than three hundred taels of silver including the money he had gambled during this period.

He was so obsessed with gambling that he grabbed the dealer and said viciously, "Don't leave! Keep gambling!"

The dealer shook him off and said unhappily, "Master Jiang, I have to accept the loss. You won so many things from me before, and I didn't say a word. Now that you lose, you want to cheat?"

"Of course I won't cheat! I just want you to continue gambling with me for one round. Just one round! I can definitely win it back!"

"Master Jiang! What do you have to bet with me? Your life?" The dealer sneered.
