1850 American Gold Tycoon

"You're here, don't bet, it would be a spoiler of fun, I've prepared the gambling table for you. Google search to read"

Liang Yao walked to the gaming table and sat down.

Coney, who was addicted to gambling, felt so disgusted with gambling for the first time in his life that he subconsciously touched his fingers.

Coney was about to say that his father was Vanderbilt, hoping to reject the bet.

But thinking of his father's disgusting face, he still didn't say this sentence after all.

He thought to himself that Liang Yao was his father's close partner, how could he not know that his father was the famous Commodore Mr. Vanderbilt. Even if you say it, it won't be of any use.

Kony mustered up his courage and walked to the gaming table with heavy steps to sit down.

"Mr. Liang, what do you want to play? Monte? Farot? Roulette? Guess the red and black cards or blackjack?"

Sitting in front of the gambling table, Kony seemed to have regained some confidence. As a senior gambling dog, he was familiar with all gambling methods and tricks.

"I'm not good at gambling, so let's play the simpler roulette." Liang Yao said lazily.

He is a person who is sworn in with gambling and drugs, so he chose the simpler roulette.

Stanford personally brought an exquisite roulette device and placed it on the gaming table: "Two gentlemen, it is an honor to play the game for you."

Today's roulette will be played by Stanford himself.

"Where's the bet? How do you want to play?" Kony looked a little excited when he saw the familiar roulette wheel.

"Play ten games. As long as you can beat me once, your debt to the casino will be canceled. If you lose, you will be at my disposal."

Just as Liang Yao finished speaking, another scream came from the basement.

Kony subconsciously looked towards the place where the sound came from. A casino thug had just cut off a finger from a gambler.

The casino thug saw Kony looking at him, looked at Kony with a wicked smile, and showed Kony the fresh fingers he had just chopped off. Frightened, Kony quickly looked back.

Just win one out of ten?

This is too tempting for Kony. No matter how bad his luck is, he won't be able to win even one of them, right? Kony thought so.

Who is Liang Yao looking down on?

"I'll bet you!"

Kony's impulse has overcome his reason. Now he just wants to win Liang Yao and get rid of a lot of debts.

"Be prepared to lose, Mr. Kony. Although I'm not good at gambling, I'm absolutely sure I can win these ten games." Liang Yao chose a number very casually.

Liang Yao has the final say on who wins and who loses in California's casinos.

"Who are you looking down on?" Kony chose his lucky number, six.

"Okay, gentlemen, now we're ready to start."

Stanford expertly threw the small golden ball in his hand into the roulette wheel.

In the first round, Liang Yao won.

In the second hand, Liang Yao won.

In the third round, Liang Yao won.

No matter how the little golden ball spins in the roulette wheel, it will eventually land in the metal grid of the number selected by Liang Yao.

After losing five games in a row, Kony's heartbeat and blood pressure slowly increased. He gave up his lucky number and chose a number casually like Liang Yao. He chose 9.

Liang Yao seemed to be mocking Kony. This time, he deliberately chose the number 6.

The ending was as expected. This time, after the little golden ball rolled several times in the roulette wheel, it accurately stopped in the metal grid with number 6.

There was no suspense, Liang Yao won the ninth round in a boring way.

By the tenth round, Kony's expression became very nervous, and the screams that reached his ears from time to time made him even more upset.

Kony's eyes were fixed on the little golden ball in the roulette wheel. He focused all his attention on the little golden ball rolling in the roulette wheel, and shouted frantically: "6! 6! 6!"

This is the tenth number he chose. I hope this lucky number will bring him good luck.

"9!"

As soon as Liang Yao finished speaking, Xiao Jinqiu landed in the metal grid of number 9 without any suspense.

"Stanford, you know what to do." Liang Yao said to Stanford, the person in charge of this bet, with an indifferent expression.

"Come here! Please take Mr. Coney to the VIP seat!" Stanford greeted the casino thugs who were executing the execution.

Kony felt his vision go dark, and he slumped down on the pine chair in despair and fainted.

"This guy is a little scared. He is so cowardly. I even doubt whether he is Mr. Commodore's biological son." Stanford walked to the unconscious Kony and patted Kony's face hard. Kony still showed no reaction. "I was really frightened and passed out. I behaved okay, right? Mr. Liang."

"After all, it's his true character, so it's not bad." Liang Yao waved his hand and motioned for the guards to carry Kony back to Tingtaoyuan.

It was already night by the time Kony woke up.

"Am I in heaven or hell?"

When Kony woke up, the first person he saw when he opened his eyes was Liang Yao. He lifted the quilt and asked nervously after making sure that his limbs were still intact.

"You are still in the world." Liang Yao replied.

"You are cheating!" Kony accused Liang Yao of cheating.

This guy won ten roulette games in a row and didn't even act. He must be a con man!

"Is there any casino where crooks don't play?" Liang Yao struck a match, lit the pipe, and slowly spit out the smoke in his lungs, "You should be grateful to have someone alive and kicking until now. Rich dad, otherwise he would have gone to hell."

If it weren't for Kony's father being a wealthy Vanderbilt, not to mention the casinos in California, even the casinos in New York would have killed Kony long ago.

The reason why Kony is still alive and kicking is because those casinos feel that they can get the gambling debts that Kony owed from Vanderbilt, and there is still value in keeping Kony's life.

"I'm a bastard, I don't have a father! I'm going to the police station to report the bad behavior of you and Stanford to Flagg! You kill people!" Coney's angry eyes were filled with fear.

"Do you think Chief Flagg believes in a wealthy country squire with a good reputation, or a gambler who tells lies?

Besides, which eye did you see Stanford killing someone? Rivers only owed the casino $600 and was only missing three fingers. He was still alive and well. "

Kony was speechless, and even he felt that his words were a bit naive.

"Those are the clothes Elizabeth asked me to give to you before she left. Go take a shower, put on clean clothes and then come to my study to find me." Liang Yao pointed to the neatly stacked clothes beside the bed and said .

"Elizabeth"

Hearing Elizabeth's name, Kony's eyes couldn't help but moisten, and he muttered Elizabeth's name silently.

Liang Yao ignored Kony and turned around to go to his study.

"Your letter, sir."

Hu Jinchen, who was working in the study, handed a letter to Liang Yao. The letter was written by Fremont.

Liang Yao hurriedly opened the letter and read it carefully under the lamp.

Congress considered that California's current population has reached the criteria for statehood and approved California's request for statehood. California will join the United States of America as a free state and become the 31st state of the United States of America.

The new president, Mr. Fillmore, is considering recommending to Congress that Liang Yao be awarded a silver medal and the title of American Hero in view of Liang Yao's influence in California, the slaves who maintained law and order in California, and his contribution to the country in preventing cholera. To show recognition.

Liang Yao doesn't really care about these false claims.

He was more concerned about the next item. Since Colonel Griffin, the temporary peace officer of California, applied to the War Department many times to return home, the War Department agreed to Colonel Griffin's request.

Fremont and Gwen suggested that President Fillmore appoint Liang Yao as the new sheriff of California and grant Liang Yao the military rank of colonel. They allowed Liang Yao to form an infantry regiment to take charge of security in California to prevent Indian invasion and Assist Colonel Mason in defending the U.S.-Mexico border when necessary.

The new Secretary of War, Charles McGill Conrad, agreed to the request and requested an in-depth investigation into the 1850 raid on Sacramento by deserters from a California military fort.

Ge Wen and officials from the War Department were already on their way to California with Liang Yao's letter of appointment.

Fremont reminded Liang Yao that Congress will next discuss and study whether to recognize the Mexican government in California, and he will do his best to run in Washington to seek the greatest benefits for the California region. It's just that the current situation is not optimistic. I hope Liang Yao can be mentally prepared.

In addition, Fremont also asked Liang Yao to prepare for the California elections in advance to prevent the Eastern consortium, especially the New York consortium, from intervening in the California elections. Hopefully the election will be held as scheduled by the time Gervin arrives in California.

The letter ended with a short but powerful sentence: For California.

Signed John Charles Fremont.
