Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm

Chapter 1332: Chapter 1131 Gambling on Luck_1 Chapter 1332: Chapter 1131 Gambling on Luck_1 As soon as Yang Wenxiao said this, Qiao Xiaomai couldn’t help but feel a sinking feeling in her heart.

Yang Wenxiao really seemed addicted to ordering them around, never treating them as outsiders.

Tilting her head, an innocent expression appeared on her small face, “A brothel? How do you expect me to get involved in that? Just to be clear, Tong Sanlang is not allowed to go to such places.”

Upon hearing this, Yang Wenxiao couldn’t help but laugh, “Are you afraid someone will steal his soul away?”

“No, I’m afraid those women will actively entangle themselves with him, and Zhao Lan is still building that road,” Qiao Xiaomai said, glancing sideways at Tong Sanlang.

Tong Sanlang remained composed, “Your Majesty, what do you want the two of us to do?”

“Gambling. I want you to wager with those people. Fair and square–if they lose, then they must obediently close the gambling house,” Yang Wenxiao explained.

In those days, the ones who could open gambling houses were either the Aristocratic Families or high-ranking officials. Some small gambling houses seemed unrelated to these powers, but they were actually intricately connected.

The gambling house was an important source of income for these people, and he was now determined to cut off this source, which would certainly cause commotion.

Therefore, he needed a justifiable reason that would shut these people up.

“Your Martial Arts are strong. Half of gambling depends on luck, the other half on skill. Should you take action, you would likely be able to get those casinos to close down.”

Upon hearing this, Tong Sanlang appeared somewhat at a loss for words, “After the affair with the Wu family, who would dare to gamble with me?”

“Moreover, my trick only works when rolling dice. If we were to switch to playing Dou Di Zhu or stacking blocks, I can’t possibly turn the playing cards and blocks into powder.”

“How did Wu Yancai and his companions cheat?” Yang Wenxiao inquired.

“Their playing cards were thicker than normal ones, double-layered. If they didn’t like the number on the top, they’d quietly tear off the top layer to reveal the number beneath. Working together, the other person would intentionally hold their cards and refrain from playing, making it impossible for me to predict their hand.”

“Such methods might work once, but even a fool would notice if used frequently.”

Under normal circumstances, people count cards while playing Dou Di Zhu, keeping a rough tally of which cards have not been played.

Hence, Wu Yancai’s cheating method might pass unnoticed once but would surely be caught if used excessively.

“Your Majesty, if one does not cheat in gambling, it really all comes down to luck, and Martial Arts are of no use,” he pointed out.

He didn’t have superpowers to change the cards in his hand.

Even if he were able to change them, the number and suit of a deck of cards are fixed, and anyone with a brain would be able to calculate it.

“If you ask me, it would be better to set up a public mailbox to encourage everyone to report one another. Whether a gambling house is cheating or a brothel is hiding something sordid, they could all quietly write a letter and drop it in the mailbox,” Tong Sanlang proposed again.

“Literacy is rare in Daqi, how would they write letters?” Yang Wenxiao retorted, “Besides, ordinary people don’t have your skills. They don’t know Martial Arts, and if they openly drop letters in the mailbox, what if they are retaliated against or attacked afterward?”

Reporting such matters is simply unrealistic for the common people.

Moreover, he didn’t want to do it either.

“To be honest, with the current influence of the Yang Family, not a single Aristocratic Family dares to confront us head-on. Now I want to bring gambling and brothel industries under Daqi’s control. Even if they are reluctant, they would only make a fuss verbally.”

“Since they want to make a fuss verbally, I want you to take action against them, to use your strength to silence them.”
