Chapter 8 Rely on the mountain to eat the mountain

In fact, like the Indian police, in the eyes of the British, the Chinese police also have many problems, such as alcoholism, such as extortion, and gambling.

Gambling is commonplace for Chinese Americans, mahjong, leaf cards, throwing sieves, and even simple guessing odds and evens, can allow Chinese people to play countless tricks, sometimes have to admire some people, can play is also a talent, but unfortunately, many Chinese are not willing to use their talent in the right way.

As early as the era of the Huayong Battalion, gambling became a stubborn disease of Chinese soldiers, and the British officers tried their best to get rid of the problem of Chinese gambling, and even used corporal punishment and confinement, but unfortunately it still had little effect, especially ironically, the Chinese soldiers were willing to be punished by confinement, because the British cells were clean and tidy, there were two meals a day, and the people locked in it could rest comfortably for a whole day, without hard training, and without performing tasks, which was similar to a reward for the soldiers who made mistakes.

The so-called big gambling hurts the body and small gambling pleasure, in the past, Roque would play two when he was fine, but winning or losing was limited to one shilling, whether it was losing a shilling or winning a shilling, he would stop immediately.

Others don't have this self-control, some Chinese policemen are rotten in the casino, and the salary is lost before the heat is warmed in their hands, and it is even more common for them to roll up their sleeves and start working when they are in a hurry, Luo Yi is a leader, this guy used to be a gangster in Tianjin Wei, proficient in all kinds of charlatans, usually Luo Yi sits in the village to open.

The noise came from Luo Yi's room, and when Roque pushed the door open, a choking foot smell mixed with the smell of tobacco erupted, feeling like he was in a garbage dump on an August day, and the sour smell was simply disgusting.

Enduring the discomfort, Luo Ke went in to separate the few people who were pulling and pulling, the reason is very simple, Luo Yi was probably unlucky today, and he was found out when he was out of the thousand, so a few Chinese policemen who were in a hurry immediately stopped doing it, if it wasn't for Luo Ke coming in time, then Luo Yi would definitely be beaten today.

"The inspector has repeatedly ordered that it is absolutely forbidden to gather people to gamble, you are really not afraid of death." As a corporal of the former Huayong Battalion, Roque still has some prestige among the Chinese police, otherwise it would be impossible to separate the gamblers who are in a rage.

"As long as we don't say it, the inspector won't know." Luo Yi has a hippie smile, with Luo Ke here, Luo Yi escaped today.

"Where's your partner? Can you guarantee that he won't hit your little report? "Roque doesn't believe in people's hearts, he only believes that there are no impermeable walls in the world, they are all gamblers, where is there a bottom line, and it is not uncommon to cut people with a knife when he loses in a hurry.

"I gave him a shilling to hang out, and if he made a small report, he wouldn't be able to make that money in the future." Luo Yi has a way, and the method is quite practical, this is also a talent, but it's a pity that he didn't have the talent to use it on the right path.

"How much did you win today?" Roque no longer, simply and neatly to the core.

"Damn, we've won a few pounds or moreβ€”"

"He won a fart, he made a thousand, we thought it was wrong, and today we finally caught the thief and got dirty."

"Exchange the money back, and if there are any tricks that were used to us, all of them will be returned."

The policeman who lost the money was indignant, this time Luo Yi was in a catastrophe, and the rules on the road were to cut off his hands if he was caught in public.

"Don't look for the old accounts, pay back the money this time, and then come to my house, and I'll find you a way to find money." Roque doesn't turn over old accounts, this kind of account can't be reversed, and no one can count how much he loses and how much he wins.

It is a blessing to have this result, Luo Yi didn't talk nonsense at this time, he cleanly pulled out his pocket, although a few policemen who lost money were unwilling, but they also accepted Roque's mediation, and there was no way to accept it, the matter went to the British, everyone couldn't please them, the British people would not care who was right and who was wrong, as long as they participated in gambling money, there was a fault.

Back in his dorm, Roque found a stack of bowls, a bowl of beer for each person, and then put his heart into it.

"What kind of ability is it to win your own people's money? The mouse carries the gun in the nest, and the pit is his own people's money, once he tears his face, who will help you out if there is a trouble in the future? My own brothers can't be trusted, can they still rely on those foreigners? In a different environment, Roque will definitely not care about the life or death of these bad gamblers, but now it doesn't matter, the entire Cape Town is estimated to be more than 30 Chinese, and Roque doesn't want to give up any of them unless it is absolutely necessary: "What kind of place are we?" Cape Town, the largest port in southern Africa, there are countless merchant ships coming and going from the south to the north every day, why do those merchant ships have to rest for a few days when they come to Cape Town, and the sailors can still have some fun when they dock? Those sailors are very rich, and I don't go to pit those sailors, but I look at the melons and dates in my brother's pocket, and I am ashamed of you. ”

The so-called backing on the mountains and relying on the water to draft water, people in Cape Town, should fight the idea of those passing sailors, and the sailors in the concept of ordinary people are different, these years the sailors who run the ocean are very rich, sailors can carry some materials with them to buy and sell, this money is easy to come by, and it is natural to spend it happily, besides, sailors can't stay in Cape Town for too long, and there is nowhere to reason if they are pitted, Roque They are police officers.

This, this is simply the right time and place and all occupied.

"Pit foreigners!" Luo Yi's eyes widened like copper bells, he never expected that Luo Ke's method of making money was actually this.

"Foreigners are not easy to pit."

"Can foreigners be pitted?"

"Something is going to happen."

Other people are also gossiping, obviously a little afraid to start, these years foreigners are too emperor in front of the Chinese, and the Chinese police do not dare to resist in the face of the Indian police, let them go to the real foreigners, the span between this is too big

"Foreigners are also people, why can't they be pitted? Don't forget that we are from Cape Town now, and we are also doing things for foreigners, don't worry about anything else, Luo Yi, I only ask you one thing, how is your technique? Luo Ke has no such concerns, for others, cheating foreigners is to invite disasters and cause trouble, for Luo Ke, it is an honor to be able to make money from foreigners, no matter how he makes his money, it doesn't matter if he has black money.

In fact, it's not a black heart, a matter of the civilized world, how can it be a black heart, the British are still strong in the Qing Dynasty, the jungle society pays attention to the big fist is reasonable, to say something unpleasant, flies don't bite the eggs that are not sewn, and the game can only pit those greedy gamblers, who don't gamble or greedy, Roque They can't always use guns to force ginseng to gamble.

"Master Luo, the technology is not blown by me, as long as those foreigners dare to play, if I don't win back their underwear, I won't have your surname Luo." Luo Yi made a big fuss, Luo Ke couldn't cry or laugh, you are not my son, your surname Luo has nothing to do with me.
