小羽拉著白爺離開,剩下黑爺和吼天犬還留在賭枱。「這群銅人都是共犯,全都是!他們合作去騙取黑爺的!」黃炏待他們離開聽力範圍,急不及待嚷著。吼天犬一隻耳朵轉過來,看來也正在偷聽。357Please respect copyright.PENANAYU8ODuXql2
357Please respect copyright.PENANAelt9bt71tE
「你有證據嗎?」白爺質疑道:「唔...番攤要出千,至少要辦得到兩件事:事先知道碗內的銅板數量、還有可以操縱點數。我看不出單憑合作就可以解決這兩個問題。連我再眼明手快,也看不清楚...」357Please respect copyright.PENANACDjMTwUpqm
357Please respect copyright.PENANAEU7qzukNhR
「不不不...他們數的不是碗內的銅錢。」黃炏雙手插袋:「是碗外面的。」357Please respect copyright.PENANAurjDn05jN8
357Please respect copyright.PENANAiB0KGPUiWf
「甚麼?」357Please respect copyright.PENANAWhPVD9Rw4O
357Please respect copyright.PENANAK5NNKuoQva
「那些銅錢上都寫著乜乜寶通、物物寶通的刻印,加上不同程度的光鮮暗啞程度,我猜他們早練好怎麼分工合作,一人負責一款。比方說鮮金色的永祿通寶,桌面上就有八枚。若然蓋好碗子後還有五枚,那就表示碗內蓋住了三塊永祿通寶了。」黃炏解釋道:「蓋碗後有三數分鐘下注吧,足夠他們數清楚自己負責那款銅板在碗外還剩下多塊。一次點算數百多塊銅錢應該來不及,只數自己那款,應該沒甚麼難度。」357Please respect copyright.PENANA1G2wsgdv5H
357Please respect copyright.PENANAOExN75xSdV
小羽鎚一下手心,一副彷然大悟的樣子。白爺眉頭皺作一團:「但他們怎樣互相通報?」357Please respect copyright.PENANAFdzUUUVndX
357Please respect copyright.PENANAqqTJIhQoss
「下注。他們靠下注傳達訊息。」黃炏下意識的回望黑爺那邊:「每位銅人下注的號碼,就是碗內那款銅錢的數量。莊家只要算一下各銅人的下注的選擇,自然知道裡面的銅錢數量。繼而知道黑爺押對還是押錯了!」357Please respect copyright.PENANAJ95QLMy1zG
357Please respect copyright.PENANAJNxg793RKY
小羽也裝酷擺出,我副偵探小說的表情:「我知我知...兇手就在我們這裡!那木桌子其實穿了個洞,好讓他們隨時拿走銅錢!」357Please respect copyright.PENANAn40p2U0NSf
357Please respect copyright.PENANAp7uIHuR2BH
「怎可能呢,那只是尋常餐廳裡的木枱...」白爺沒好氣的反駁這粗疏的推論。357Please respect copyright.PENANA3JdcESETnT
357Please respect copyright.PENANA7CEucZni12
「銅錢沒離開過賭枱。」黃炏搖搖頭,舉起一隻手指:「要更改賽果,只須要把一枚銅錢吸在碗底...」357Please respect copyright.PENANANXGe0ycAOU
357Please respect copyright.PENANA5SySPmRd4p
「吸?怎樣吸?」357Please respect copyright.PENANAmKtxjB1AFw
357Please respect copyright.PENANAFAn2aA41Pu
「磁鐵。」黃炏臉上慢慢浮起一道笑意:「莊家銅人的手指不是銅、更不是金,是磁鐵。就連桌上的銅板也是電鍍了銅的鐵。有幾枚比較老舊銅板鏽跡不是氧化銅的綠色,而是氧化鐵的紅色,就是最好的證明。其他銅人都是從臉上開始貼金,只有莊家把黃金先貼在容易磨損的手上,你們不覺奇怪嗎?最合理的解釋就是他的手都鍍上黃金,就是怕廚房工作令磁鐵損耗,敗露痕跡。莊家手上的金箔就是掩眼法的布幕。」357Please respect copyright.PENANAsXJPT8TVJh
357Please respect copyright.PENANA7zAeY5XQd4
白爺一副讚嘆的樣子,沒想到這書呆子腦筋這麼靈光!357Please respect copyright.PENANAswAqA9XIb2
357Please respect copyright.PENANAcb36mjy63B
「我猜莊家手指頭的磁力,只是剛好夠吸起一塊銅錢。這比較容易控制,而且不容易察覺。用來對付黑爺一個賭客,已經綽綽有餘了。」357Please respect copyright.PENANAAbI5M2Xq4j
「所以說...他們可以預先知道每局的結果,還可以隨時左右賽果。難怪黑爺長賭長輸。」白爺把手格在劍柄:「好把,我們回去拆穿他們的把戲,軀補這局群老千。」357Please respect copyright.PENANAvbEoMmWVrS
357Please respect copyright.PENANAYesMMHngi3
「別急,你這樣押走他們,黑爺被他們騙走的血汗錢就變成賊贓被充公了。」燭火在黃炏眼鏡片上反射出一抹鬼異的光芒:「賭枱上的恩怨,就在賭枱分勝負。」357Please respect copyright.PENANAKjW3OG1Yg8
357Please respect copyright.PENANAYtvUU2rAfP
「明知他們出千,怎麼還跟他們對賭?」357Please respect copyright.PENANA96yHCLtU4B
357Please respect copyright.PENANA8jHgcXnF7J
「放心,我已經想到了一套方法...」黃炏邁步回去賭枱:「一套必勝法!」
黃炏三人坐回賭枱,莊家望著還未下注的白爺:「客倌快點買兩手啊,不賭不知時運到。」357Please respect copyright.PENANAIcl8UH07tV
357Please respect copyright.PENANAF6TXc01ExZ
「好啊。」白爺掏出幾錠金子和白銀。357Please respect copyright.PENANAQkWJj7NE5c
357Please respect copyright.PENANAxDkO5Szro3
小羽伸手向白爺:「我也好想試一下,白爺可以借我幾兩銀嗎?」357Please respect copyright.PENANAuLsvYXrOL1
357Please respect copyright.PENANA7IxWSfbGxY
「休想。」357Please respect copyright.PENANAmcw8NVme9q
357Please respect copyright.PENANAdDh5hltrbB
「孤寒鬼。」357Please respect copyright.PENANAKKgoZwMiQ1
357Please respect copyright.PENANAw8dLGsPC1j
莊家再次蓋好銅錢,各個合謀的銅人紛紛下注。黃炏在小羽白爺手背點上暗號:這舖開兩點。357Please respect copyright.PENANAxDLXem8Bfx
357Please respect copyright.PENANALG72FUhrZJ
黑爺猶豫了半天,拿著錠銀子在半空中忽左忽右。看來他已經輸了不少,注碼卻愈下愈大,大概是想早點翻身吧。「好,今場買...二!死就死吧,哂冷八十兩!」357Please respect copyright.PENANAs4dKt2bqkK
357Please respect copyright.PENANAb6hlko9NX7
「好,買定離手!」357Please respect copyright.PENANAmmc7is0Cfj
357Please respect copyright.PENANAl8H6jHOSnS
「等等。」357Please respect copyright.PENANAwmos7HtwTR
357Please respect copyright.PENANAgVXsi2LbWY
黃炏點算一下手上的銀子,一堆推出去『一』那一格:「七十九兩,買『一』。」357Please respect copyright.PENANAfV4x210F0O
357Please respect copyright.PENANANX7fI4T4DQ
「甚...甚麼!?」莊家忽然呆住了不懂反應。357Please respect copyright.PENANA0NlheYr6Zf
357Please respect copyright.PENANA08Y2HrI2TS
「有問題嗎?我買七十九兩銀。一注獨贏買『一』。」黃炏仍是呆呆的一副表情,冷靜地望著不知所措的莊家,其他閒家銅人也開始竊竊私語。357Please respect copyright.PENANANx1ay1B3rx
357Please respect copyright.PENANA39qWqdQmf7
白爺暗地拍掌,這下才明白黃炏的必勝法:他正在等當黑爺押對的一局,再以僅僅比黑爺少一兩的注碼,押在少一點的號碼上。以這局為例,莊家直接開盤就是開『二』,就要賠黑爺320兩;倘若莊家出千使餘數減一,就變成黃炏押對了,要賠他316兩。兩害取其輕,莊家沒選擇,只好讓黃炏贏大錢!357Please respect copyright.PENANAFmkbUdJK8Z
357Please respect copyright.PENANAphQpFBB3H5
莊家慢慢打開碗蓋,是『一點』,黃炏勝!357Please respect copyright.PENANAV8SqZbmmYt
357Please respect copyright.PENANAKdYbBGvYBo
「媽的!你這兔冤子甚麼狗屎運?一坐下來就贏大錢。」黑爺一張苦瓜臉,錢包裡只剩下幾文錢。357Please respect copyright.PENANA7OIr182sI4
357Please respect copyright.PENANAWFtTCSOmzQ
「黑爺不打緊,這二百兩借給你。」黃炏把獎金分了一大筆給黑爺,他的臉就如死灰復燃一樣,登時轉了色。357Please respect copyright.PENANAVLagaLLFya
357Please respect copyright.PENANAp4QYzRD6Pa
「哇哈哈,連本座也走狗屎運呢!」黑爺爺捋起衣袖,雙臂露出十數條醒目的疤痕:「來來來!」357Please respect copyright.PENANALDqIxmcasx
357Please respect copyright.PENANAbuq6ya3Klz
小羽望著莊家銅人的禿頭,冒出一顆一顆斗大的汗珠。黑爺確是走了狗屎運,再次意外地押了在正確的『四點』上面。357Please respect copyright.PENANAoZ5TTtAWKg
357Please respect copyright.PENANAMdRvhXzHLO
「199兩,買三。」黃炏近乎庸懶的把一推銀子推到桌上。357Please respect copyright.PENANAmsDgmQ6fCg
357Please respect copyright.PENANArppsWLBf47
看乎幾個銅人閃縮的眼神,幾乎肯定知道詭計已經敗露,也都理解到黃炏的把戲。莊家再次無從選擇下讓黃炏勝了,這下可賠得不輕,幾乎把莊家過往一年掙的錢都倒貼了。357Please respect copyright.PENANA6JVKxblpYY
357Please respect copyright.PENANA4XAfaEdsVE
「時候不早了,我們就這樣結束吧...」莊家決定斬纜。357Please respect copyright.PENANAyaJ8OZAjn5
357Please respect copyright.PENANA12ZcSgIQgh
「甚麼?你割禾青?」黑爺重重的一掌拍在桌上,嚇得十幾個銅人身體一下子僵直。另一個銅人搭訕道:「黑爺,時候真的不早了。況且你朋友已經贏了好多好多...」357Please respect copyright.PENANACG0enWtyfc
357Please respect copyright.PENANA9cctwDl2Na
「我輸了幾十年也未出聲。今天我老友才贏你一千幾百兩,你吵甚麼吵!」黑爺臉上陣紅陣黑,看來酒量也見頂,要速戰速決。可是...銅人猜到黃炏識破他們出千,經過今晚以後,相信這群老千再也不會和黑爺再賭。之前幾十年輸掉了的賭本恐怕沒可能追討回來。357Please respect copyright.PENANAXvFFN9eWA9
357Please respect copyright.PENANAXAQU4Ovske
黑爺醉薰薰地打個飽嗝:「喔...至少多賭一局。」357Please respect copyright.PENANAuP3tgzzS9w
357Please respect copyright.PENANAkUG2KJKwy6
「好吧好吧...這是最後的咧。」莊家免為甚難,反轉碗子開局。357Please respect copyright.PENANAJOwswgvvUi
357Please respect copyright.PENANAHWR79k3UI6
「甚麼,這麼快就玩完!人家還未賭過!」小羽跳上跳下,押下剛才白爺送她買冰糖葫蘆的銅板:「銅人大叔,我只有一文錢,可以也讓我玩一下嗎?」357Please respect copyright.PENANArBYvf2oqHV
357Please respect copyright.PENANACxNo8LNjvX
「不可以啊...下注最少一兩。」莊家懶得應酬小羽,把注意力放回黑爺和黃炏身上。黑爺拿著一百兩銀,手汗把銀子都弄濕:「我...買一!」357Please respect copyright.PENANAPWtEM999or
357Please respect copyright.PENANAWZmx0DaiYq
黃炏即時數算銅人下注暗號...糟糕...正確答案是『三點』啊!357Please respect copyright.PENANA4zQj62vCyr
357Please respect copyright.PENANAtXWOnddHfm
黃炏抓抓頭,對著白爺崇了崇肩,一副「沒法子喔」的表情。黃炏的必勝法可沒辦法一局之內賺回幾萬兩銀...而且黑爺買錯,黃炏根本就沒戲唱。357Please respect copyright.PENANAeqztHiCOwE
357Please respect copyright.PENANAsM3pOHBJdK
莊家呼了一口氣,雖然今晚是賠本了,但他們騙了他幾十年,總算是全身而退...357Please respect copyright.PENANAOF7BGOI4ML
357Please respect copyright.PENANAmknbhYJ4sL
「白爺,這銀票借我玩一下!」小羽一手搶手白爺跟前的銀票,白爺還沒反應過來,小羽拍一聲的把銀票押在『三點』上面。357Please respect copyright.PENANAtXdDFwo2xg
357Please respect copyright.PENANAFqdof9iC80
「買定離手!」357Please respect copyright.PENANAd1S8X8Pq1D
357Please respect copyright.PENANAvoL6wyFlSB
莊家立即叫停,白爺眼巴巴的望著賭枱上的銀票:「小羽妳瘋了嗎?那是一.萬.兩.銀的銀票啊!」357Please respect copyright.PENANAf0gzaE8C2V
357Please respect copyright.PENANAoHTR2iqkUb
「噢...」小羽的笑容僵了一下,輕輕的問:「呃...一萬兩銀是很多的嗎?」357Please respect copyright.PENANA7cI4miRuFx
357Please respect copyright.PENANAWM9395VaYe
站在外圈的銅人突然雙眼發光,焦點落在那張輕飄飄的一萬兩銀票上。這趟走運了,他們早計到碗子是『三點』,可是只要莊家出術把點數弄小,這一萬兩就穩賺了!357Please respect copyright.PENANAf7Lu5nqQHa
357Please respect copyright.PENANAg0JNArhlmU
沒想到最後關頭竟然扳回一仗,這一萬兩銀十幾個同謀分,也夠買好幾片金啊!357Please respect copyright.PENANAyq3igXfwrM
357Please respect copyright.PENANAPr1AEN85A3
莊家急不及待打開碗子,再下意識的望望碗子,裡面已經成功用手指吸走一枚銅錢。換句話說,碗子裡本來是『三點』的餘數,已經被偷偷換成『兩點』...357Please respect copyright.PENANAJC88iYHgYy
357Please respect copyright.PENANA1qJepQJ0Qt
一臉貪婪的銅人莊家慢慢把銅錢四個四個分開...357Please respect copyright.PENANAmwCa7tV4Dr
357Please respect copyright.PENANA0hzl4qJouO
十一個...七個...三個...餘數是『三點』...357Please respect copyright.PENANAq5MUpytAdo
357Please respect copyright.PENANAOh5LrMsdsQ
甚麼!餘數是三點!?357Please respect copyright.PENANA9cxNy6X5s2
357Please respect copyright.PENANAbXhxsbNK8o
「Yeah!」小羽跳了開來:「童子手童子手旗開得勝!銅人大哥連本帶利,盛惠四萬兩!」 357Please respect copyright.PENANANt2FkE05Oi
