Chapter 771 12,000
The steward shouted, "You can place your bets downstairs! If you think the Sixth Prince will win, bet on him. If you think County Magistrate Bai will win, bet on the other side!"
As soon as this was shouted, the news spread quickly among everyone and everyone got busy.
This gambling den was opened by Bai Wanwan. She wanted to make more money, so she kept inviting everyone to come and play.
After a while, the whole gambling den became lively, with many people gathered around to place bets. Some bet on Bai Wanwan to win, and some bet on the Sixth Prince to win.
Although Bai Wanwan looked quite capable, she was too young. Most people still thought that the Sixth Prince was more reliable, so the majority of people bet on the Sixth Prince.
Shen Tao brought Shen Wei here to watch the fun.
Shen Wei whispered to Shen Tao, "I didn't expect Bai Wanwan to be so capable, but the Sixth Prince doesn't look bad either."
Shen Tao nodded and said, "I'll bet on Bai Wanwan to win."
Shen Wei quickly pulled him aside and whispered, "I think it's better to bet on the Sixth Prince. Bai Wanwan is just a child and will definitely not win."
Shen Tao shook his head: "When it comes to gambling, Wanwan has never lost. I still trust her."
Shen Wei advised again: "Think about it again, what if she loses this time?"
Shen Tao looked at his friends around him. They all planned to bet on Bai Wanwan. He was confused and said hesitantly, "Why don't I try betting on the Sixth Prince?"
His friends nearby all looked at him strangely, and someone casually said, "If you want to bet on the Sixth Prince, go ahead. We're all betting on Wanwan anyway."
Soon everyone placed their bets.
Others didn't dare to bet more, as the total amount was only 100,000, but Shen Tao was very generous and directly bet 500,000 on the Sixth Prince.
After the first roll of the dice, Bai Wanwan opened the dice cup and saw that the total of the three dice was only 6, while the Sixth Prince's was 10.
The Sixth Prince stared at Bai Wanwan's score and laughed loudly, "You only have 6 points and you dare to compete with me? Look carefully, I have 10 points!"
Bai Wanwan nodded calmly, her tone without any emotion:
"I'm willing to accept the loss. In that case, let's play bigger the next time.
"It's boring to bet 10 taels, but would you dare to take 100 taels?"
"What is there to be afraid of?" The Sixth Prince snorted coldly, his eyes full of disdain.
The wind direction in the gambling den changed instantly.
Those who had bet on Bai Wanwan shook their heads, and someone smacked his lips and said:
"I told you before that a little girl is not trustworthy, but you just don't believe me.
Next time I'll bet on the Sixth Prince!"
"He's a prince, he must be very capable. I'll change my bet to the Sixth Prince!"
Shen Wei held Shen Tao's hand, his tone filled with pride: "How is it? Am I right? The Sixth Prince is indeed powerful. Let's bet on the Sixth Prince this time, and we'll definitely win!"
Shen Tao frowned and weighed the matter over and over again in his mind.
He hesitated for a long time before slowly nodding: "Okay, let's bet on the Sixth Prince. I'll also bet one million taels."
Bai Wanwan glanced at him lightly, and Wang Jingheng whispered, "Brother Tao, why are you betting on the Sixth Prince instead of Wanwan?"
Shen Tao whispered, "Wanwan can't win every time. This time, I think the Sixth Prince is more stable."
Shen Wei directly took out all the banknotes on him and said, "A total of 800,000 taels, I will also bet on the Sixth Prince."
Xiao Yi suddenly appeared in the gambling house and said:
"Hey! Shen Tao, didn't you support Bai Wanwan before?
Now I support the Sixth Prince. If you support the Sixth Prince, then I will support Bai Wanwan."
Shen Tao sneered and said, "Xiao Yi, why are you here?"
"I heard you all go to school here, so I naturally wanted to come and see you. How much did you bet?"
The gambling shop owner quickly said, "Mr. Shen bet one million taels on the Sixth Prince to win."
The Sixth Prince smiled and said, "Bai Wanwan, look, even your best friend doesn't believe you."
Bai Wanwan said calmly, "Gambling doesn't depend on whether he believes it or not. What does his belief or not have to do with me?"
Xiao Yi raised his head and laughed heartily, patting the table and saying:
"That's right! When it comes to gambling, it's all about your own will.
I thought Bai Wanwan was reliable, so I bet on her. She bet one million taels, so I'll bet one million taels too!"
Shen Tao's face flushed crimson, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Alright! Then I'll bet three million taels! And an additional two million taels!"
Xiao Yi slowly straightened his sleeves, his eyes filled with a hint of nonchalant provocation, and replied casually, "Okay, I'll add another two million taels too."
"Xiao Yi!" Shen Tao slammed the table and said, "You really have to go against me, don't you?"
Xiao Yi sneered, "How can you call it right? I just firmly believe that Bai Wanwan can win, but you prefer the Sixth Prince. It's just that we have different perspectives."
Shen Tao was so angry that veins popped out on his forehead. "Okay, very good. I want to see with my own eyes whether you still have the nerve to say this when you lose miserably later!"
The dice cups in front of Bai Wanwan and the Sixth Prince began to shake.
Each of them shook their own dice, and after shaking, they put the dice cup on the table, waiting to be opened to compare the size.
The milk bottle moved and snorted softly:
"This guy is so boring. He wants to win with this ability? I can handle him in minutes.
This time he rolled three ones."
A smile appeared on the corner of its mouth, and it secretly activated the poisonous insect.
A few small bugs quietly crawled into the Sixth Prince's dice cup and changed the numbers on the dice.
Not long after, the two of them opened the dice cup at the same time, and everyone around them was dumbfounded when they saw it.
The Sixth Prince had three ones in the dice cup, and Bai Wanwan had three sixes!
"No way? My eyes are blurry?" someone shouted while rubbing his eyes.
"That's impossible. How can the gap be so big?" Others also followed suit.
Bai Wanwan won this round.
Xiao Yi laughed heartily, patted his thigh and said:
"Oh, I won three million taels in this round. I feel a little embarrassed!
Bai Wanwan, thank you!" He casually handed over a million taels of silver and said, "This is for you."
Bai Wanwan nodded and accepted it, then turned to look at the Sixth Prince and asked calmly, "Shall we continue?"
The Sixth Prince's face flushed red as he gritted his teeth and said, "Continue! Why not? I'll bet ten million taels on the next one. Do you dare?"
Bai Wanwan shrugged: "Ten million is ten million, I'll stick with you till the end."
She waved her hand and ordered her men, "Bring up all the silver notes and gold to make up the total of 10 million taels."
The Sixth Prince sneered, "Don't look down on me! Forget ten million taels! I can afford any more."
He shouted to the people behind him, "Go, bring me all my gold bars!"
Soon, several servants came over carrying several heavy boxes. Inside were gold bars from the Sixth Prince’s ship, as well as a number of gold and silver jewelry of excellent quality and exquisite carvings.
The shopkeeper came forward and examined them carefully. After a moment, he nodded and said, "These boxes are worth exactly 10 million taels."
Everyone around gasped in shock, whispering to each other: "How dare they bet so big? This is ten million taels!"
