Chapter 12: Glowing Gold

Anton was still thinking about Roque's words, and Luo Yi had already gained something.

Although the rules of guessing odd and even are simple, but don't ignore the temptation of this kind of gambling, in the 21st century, people have experienced a variety of information reminders, some people will be deceived, in the nineteenth century almost unsolvable.

There are many people watching, and there are naturally more people participating, and after two or three rounds, Li De and they no longer need to bet to set off the atmosphere, and the onlookers are enthusiastic, and the scene is so enthusiastic that Li De begins to feel fear.

"Master Luo, let's almost stop it, a few of us have already won more than fifty pounds, and if we continue to do it, I'm afraid something will happen." This money came too easily, which made Li Dedu a little frightened.

"Five, fifty pounds!" Anton was dumbfounded, he couldn't figure out why these white people were so easily deceived.

It seems that white people are not very smart, at least not as smart as the Chinese, if Luo Yi sets up this kind of bureau in the Qing Kingdom, I am afraid that people will be laughed at as fools every minute.

Of course, there are far more fools in this world than Anton imagined, and Roque also underestimated the power of this simple scam in this era, and after a while, he earned more than fifty pounds, which is equivalent to more than two hundred taels of silver, which is equivalent to Roque's salary for more than four years, and it is much more to buy six wives in Qingguo, even if Roque and a dozen of them divide it equally, each of them can get five or six pounds, and half a year's salary is so easy to get.

"Wait, this kind of business is a one-shot deal, no matter how you finish this time, you have to rest for ten days and half a month, fifty pounds is too little, you need to make more money." Roque will not be too much money, fifty pounds is a lot for Anton, but it is far from enough for Roque.

Compared with regular casinos, this kind of fraud is too simple to implement, those who have lost money, look back and think about it carefully, you will find that something is wrong, so the fraud can not be done as a business, you can only earn pocket money, and you have to think of other ways to find a stable way to make money.

Of course, it is not easy for people to calm down in the game, and now those gamblers around Luo Yi have killed red eyes, even if Luo Yi wants to stop, those gamblers will not let Luo Yi leave.

Then continue, and after another ten minutes, the gambling game finally could not be maintained, and as Luo Ke expected, a sailor with a red eye suddenly grabbed a handful of money in front of Luo Yi and got up and wanted to run.

Where can they run away, the sailors who robbed the money were instantly put down by Li De and them, and then the police who were waiting for them rushed over with a whistle, and the onlookers immediately dispersed.

A full hundred and fifty pounds is indeed a huge gain, except for a pile of glittering coins and a few one-pound notes, and a gold pocket watch, except for Roque, everyone else's breath is a little short, even if a dozen people are divided, each person can get a dozen pounds, and the income of more than a year is easily handed.

"This method of making money was thought up by Luo Ye, as usual, Luo Ye will take three percent first, Luo Yi will get one percent, and we will divide the rest, do you think this can be done?" It was inconvenient for Roque to speak, Anton simply spoke to share the money, and Roque, as the planner, should take the lion's head.

"It should be, if it weren't for Master Luo, we wouldn't dare to take a knife on foreigners."

"Luo Ye should take the big head, if it weren't for Luo Ye's idea, it wouldn't be our turn to get rich."

"People don't come to foreign wealth and don't get rich, horses don't eat night grass and don't get fat, or the old saying makes sense."

Everyone responded one after another, and the atmosphere was surprisingly good.

To Roque's surprise, although Roque did not show up from beginning to end except for an idea, no one felt that Roque took too much.

Roque simply loves the hierarchical society, in this society, the official makes a fortune, and the subordinates follow the soup is a universal value, Roque is not an official now, if Roque becomes an official, even if this matter has nothing to do with Roque, Roque is indispensable.

"If you earn money, save it well, if you have a wife and children, you have to support your family, and if you don't have a family, you have to save your wife's book, don't be extravagant, today the brothers also saw it, if you want to get rich, you will go to fight the idea of foreign devils, don't worry about the few hard-earned money in the pockets of the brothers, let's set up a rule here, between the brothers, in the future, gamble rigorously, and then find that someone has set up a game, don't blame the brothers for not being emotional." Luo Ke took the opportunity to make rules, and this was mainly for Luo Yi.

"Master Luo rest assured, he can make money from foreign devils, and whoever cheats the brothers will have a son." Luo pointed to the sky and swore that the Chinese policemen didn't have much money in their pockets, and they couldn't earn three or five pennies after working hard for half a day.

"Then disperse, brothers, stop in the next few days, look at the limelight in a few days, let's go and get another vote, everyone is tight-lipped, this matter must not be exposed, otherwise we will not be able to please all of us." Roque started to pick people up, and he had to go to work tomorrow, so he couldn't make a fuss too late.

"I know Master Luo."

"Whoever dares to spread the word will be thrown into the sea and immersed in the pig cage!"

Everyone said goodbye one after another, and went back to rest with a smile, and it is estimated that they will have a good dream tonight.

After clearing the field, Roque began to take stock of his income, a full forty-three pounds, plus a gold pocket watch, which was discounted by two pounds and went directly to Roque.

The bracelet of the pocket watch is also gold, one end is connected to the pocket watch, and the other end is connected to a small gold box, which can hold five small gold coins with a face value of one pound, and the bottom of the box is equipped with a spring, and the top gold coin is on top, and the top gold coin can be easily pulled out when the lid is opened.

It wasn't until before going to bed that Kunal came back with a cower, and Roque had to set a rule for Kunal: "Don't snore when you sleep at night, don't talk in your dreams, don't light the lamp at night, be light-hearted, violate any of the above, and tomorrow night you will find a place to sleep by yourself." ”

If he could, Roque was reluctant to share a room with anyone else, whether Indian or Chinese, Roque was not used to it.

But at this stage, Roque has not yet been qualified to obtain a room alone, at least until Roque is promoted to the rank of sergeant or above.

Sheriff!

In the next period of time, this is Roque's goal, he must become a sheriff as soon as possible and get a separate room, Roque's requirements are not high, since Indians can be sheriffs, so can Chinese, Roque has this self-confidence, as long as he can get the attention of the British, Roque has a way to get ahead.

It's gold, and it shines everywhere.
