[The Ingenious One]

[Episode 17: Ingenious Tricks]

Menglan.

Try this.

I'm sure you'll like it.

I wondered why Mr. Yun

chose to play word guessing in the second round.

It turned out that he had made a perfect plan.

Indeed.

Yun adopted a risky way this time.

He had no choice.

He knows Tang Xiao got people inside Liansheng House.

Even if we use our own things,

it's hard to make sure nothing would wrong.

I hired the new recruits.

Don't worry.

Yun is very sensible.

He won't blame you.

Mr. Su.

Tianhu.

You've worked hard today.

But in the next three days,

we still can't slack off.

We are competing with Tang's Gambling House on revenues.

Yun's fate

will be in your hands.

I understand.

You must be tired after a day's work.

I'll go back now.

Go to bed early.

Tianhu.

Sleep here tonight.

We haven't had a heart-to-heart for a long time.

Miss,

I'm tired today.

I want to go back and go to rest early.

[Liansheng House]

Your little master is really capable.

I planned to defeat him

at one stroke.

But he somehow

managed to settle the score.

Consider yourself lucky as you managed to

make it out of Yun Xiang's hands.

Talk more while you can.

In a few days, when he becomes my servant,

I'll let him see how you'll die a terrible death.

Shu Yanan

is getting more aggressive.

She broke into my off-limits and killed my servant.

I'm really interested in her.

Bastard.

You'd better think about

how to beg Yun Xiang to kill you in a decent way.

Tianhu.

You're here.

Master.

Come on. Sit down.

Tell me. What happened today?

Master,

I have figured it out.

Tianhu.

When did you change to his side?

It's none of your business.

There's no outsider now. Tell me.

Miss Ke did change the equipment

according to your order.

But Yun Xiang saw that coming.

Therefore, he proposed to play word guessing.

In this way,

he can prevent you from cheating.

It's reasonable for him to see that coming.

But how could he cheat in word guessing?

With the help of iron filings and magnetic powder.

The inkstick was specially made.

There was magnetic powder in the compartment.

When Mr. Su opened it,

he could see the word

you had written easily.

That is a fresh approach.

But...

I remember you brought paper, inkstick,

ink brush, and inkstone in person.

They were labeled "used in accounting office".

I only found out later that

in order to make sure nothing would go wrong,

Yun Xiang changed all the inkstones in Liansheng House.

Besides,

if you sent someone to buy one,

you would get the same result.

Yun Xiang swapped all the inkstones nearby for ones with iron filings.

That's impressive.

Tianhu.

Yes.

When you go back,

if anything happens,

report it to me immediately.

Yes, Master.

Tianhu.

Even if you don't have a close tie with Yun Xiang,

you shouldn't betray Ke Menglan.

She is like a sister to you.

Ke Menglan...

Who do you think

Ke Menglan works for now?

Impossible.

Let me tell you a secret.

Ke Menglan

is actually the only traitor

among you guys.

She, Tian Hu.

She's not a traitor.

She lost her mind because I poisoned her with Heart Devouring Powder.

She has to obey my order even if I ask her to die.

Bastard!

I'll kill you sooner or later.

You can't intimidate me with that.

Tianhu. He abused me.

Slap him for me.

Tianhu.

Master.

Slap him.

I like Jin.

I can't hurt him.

Let her go!

The poison is still effective.

This is true love.

What kind of feelings...

What kind of feelings

can suppress the Heart Devouring Powder?

Master, you are always my master.

But...

But I like Jin.

Zhong,

we've seen many interesting things.

Have you seen a live sex show?

Asshole!

Come at me if you dare.

I'd like to see

-Tang Xiao. -whether the fearless

Jin Biao, "Ten Taels of Gold",

Tang Xiao! Tang Xiao!

Tang Xiao. Tang Xiao.

Tang Xiao!

Tang Xiao!

feels afraid of

Stop!

this!

Tianhu. Tianhu.

Tianhu.

Tianhu!

Tianhu, don't get any closer.

Tianhu!

Tianhu.

I like you.

I'm willing to do anything.

Tianhu, you still remember me.

It means you haven't lost your mind completely.

Recover yourself.

I'm willing to do anything.

Ten Taels of Gold.

Are you a man?

Tang Xiao,

I must be the one who kills you.

The weather is dry. Beware of fire.

Number one.

Number two.

Number three.

In the next three days,

open a pouch a day

and act according to plan.

With these three pouches,

nothing would go wrong.

All right, I'm leaving.

Are you trying to create a diversion or...

It's impossible for Liansheng House

to make more revenues than Tang's Gambling House.

But you...

Let's stop there.

Can you have some confidence in me?

I'll lose if you keep saying that.

Trust me.

Okay, I trust you.

But with these...

By the way,

remember to open these pouches

in front of Su Mingyu and Ke Menglan.

You know Ke Menglan is controlled by Tang Xiao.

You really want to use her?

We've discussed this matter.

Don't let emotions cloud your judgment.

Don't worry.

I have a very thorough plan.

Trust me.

By the way,

you have to teach me

how to get down from here

without getting hurt.

Why don't you take the front door?

If others know

I leave Liansheng House alone,

it will undermine my plan.

I have to make sure nothing goes wrong.

How about this? Give me a demonstration.

I can imitate you.

I can do it.

Trust me.

Come on.

I didn't see anything.

Just jump. What are you waiting for?

Even if you fall to the ground, you just need to rest for a few days.

I believe in you.

Why are you standing so far away?

Catch me.

Don't even think about it.

I'm gonna jump.

You have a small figure but you're strong.

The weather is dry. Beware of fire.

Miss, are you alright?

Good.

The weather is dry. Beware of fire.

All right, go back now.

I'm leaving.

Are you going to Guanghui Bank?

You're quite smart.

What? What do you mean?

Mr. Mo will definitely say something.

You'll know when you get there.

Oh,

about Jin.

I've sent shadowmen to keep an eye on him.

They are waiting for the right moment to rescue him.

You're quite strong.

Jin Biao is still in the dungeon of Tang's Residence.

In addition, Ke Menglan and Tianhu

entered Tang's Residence.

But Ke Menglan stopped outside the courtyard

while Tianhu went into Tang Xiao's room.

She was there for about an hour.

Go back and keep watching.

Yes.

How many people in Liansheng House

can you trust now?

I knew about Miss Ke.

But I didn't expect Tianhu to be controlled by Tang Xiao as well.

Now the people who are running Liansheng House

are all Tang Xiao's people.

But you chose to compete with him.

What chance is there of you winning?

What's the point of winning all the time?

What if I want to lose?

I'm all ears.

It's boring to know the answer now.

Don't worry, Mr. Mo.

I can guarantee Guanghui Bank

to be the biggest beneficiary of this competition.

You seem pretty sure about it.

Actually, the betrayal of these people

is not important.

It's very likely you'll turn Tang Xiao's trick against him.

But if someone who's very close to you

turns against you,

you'll be doomed.

That girl was poisoned by Drunken Dragon.

But she said she had a secret medicine

that could delay the poison from taking effect.

That's how she escaped from the dungeon of Tang's Residence.

She is good at using poison.

Of course, she is good at detoxifying as well.

That's the poison from Lingyuan Sect.

You and I have long suspected Tang Xiao colludes with Lingyuan Sect.

It's not surprising that he uses Dragon series poison well.

You're burying the lede.

You know I'm not talking about Tang Xiao.

Tell me the truth.

The first time I took you to see Master, we were tailed.

Kang Qiao got poisoned with Dragon series poison

in a fight with a mystery person.

Is that person her?

Why do you think it was Miss Shu?

It's just my hunch.

That's right.

Miss Shu has a rough life.

She had many adventures while traveling.

When I first met her,

I knew she was proficient in Dragon series poison.

I tried many times to test her out.

But I didn't see anything wrong.

Even if you don't believe her,

you should trust me.

I just want to remind you.

You don't have to explain so much.

But just now, when I asked

what if the person closest to you betrays you,

she's the one you thought of first,

right?

Last time, at Liansheng House,

you said there was something we couldn't talk about there.

What is it?

From now on, keep me informed

of everything Yun Xiang does.

I have so many things to tell you.

It's too late today.

I'm sleepy. I'm going to bed.

[Liansheng House]

Yun Xiang gave me three pouches.

One pouch a day. We need to act according to the plan inside.

Pouches?

What's wrong with Yun?

Why can't he arrange this himself?

I don't know.

He said he would stay in his room and he wouldn't see anyone.

He asked me to send food and daily necessities to his room.

Why are you smiling?

I smiled because you're blinded by love.

In the past,

you wouldn't do such a thing.

He's always playing tricks.

I don't want to ask about details.

That being said,

since I met Yun,

he has never failed.

I admire him very much.

It's natural that you like him.

Like him?

I know you've been working hard lately.

But this is the second day of Liansheng House.

-Everyone, pull yourselves together. -This is the most important thing now.

You're not only blinded by love.

Your soul is stolen by her.

Manager Ke.

That's it. Dismiss.

Yes.

[10% Rebate for Promotion]

What is this?

Mr. Su.

Mr. Su. Mr. Su.

[10% Rebate for Promotion]

10% rebate for promotion?

Mr. Su,

the highest rebate offered

by gambling houses in Nandu is 1%.

You can offer 10%?

You must have heard

we are competing with Tang's Gambling House

on revenues.

So in order to attract more customers,

we decided to offer a 10% rebate,

but only for three days.

Just three days?

Then we have to hurry up.

What are we waiting for?

Let's go.

Let's go.

Hurry up.

I'm going to win all your money.

Is he insulting me?

He wants to beat me

with a 10% rebate?

Maybe...

Maybe he has a backup plan?

Or maybe he's diverting our attention.

Anyway, no matter what Yun Xiang does,

go and tell our dealers

to act according to the plan.

Got it.

I'm going to open it.

Open.

We've had three draws in such a short time.

I quit. You guys are cheating.

Sir, how could you say that?

Let's continue.

Ignore him alone. Let's continue.

Menglan.

I lost seven to eight guests in an hour.

I know.

But there's nothing I can do.

There are a few dealers

who are planted here by Tang Xiao.

They made customers lose in a row

and drove them away in this way.

Menglan.

You are experienced.

You can see what they are trying to do.

But we are really short of hands now.

I don't have enough people to replace them.

What if we offer a higher rebate?

We'll lose money then.

Tang Xiao and Yun Xiang are competing on revenues.

It's not about net profits.

Why are you confused?

Help me.

Mr. Su and I know little

about running the gambling house.

I can only rely on you now.

I'm afraid Yun Xiang has underestimated his rival.

By convention,

the banker wins in a draw.

We can change the rule for these three days.

Players are considered winners in a draw.

This is more attractive to players

than the 10% rebate.

I knew you can find a way.

This is not a long-term solution.

As long as these dealers are here,

they'll continue to play tricks.

Leave it to me.

Thank you, Menglan.

I'm glad you're here.

I'll deal with them.

Everyone,

are you having a good time?

If you want more fun,

we can change the rules.

In these three days,

in a draw, players take all.

Great! Nice!

Someone just said

some of our dealers are cheating.

I want you to do me a favor.

Please tell me

if you find any dealer who's playing tricks.

You'll be rewarded with ten taels of gold.

Ten taels! Ten taels!

For a dealer, reputation is everything.

If you want to break the rules of Liansheng House,

you can have a try.

Sir, please come in.

Mr. Su, you are back.

It's after curfew now.

Why haven't we closed yet?

You don't know?

We just got permission

to stay open overnight these three days.

Really? That's nice.

Go.

Mr. Qian was here this afternoon.

Chairman Su asked him to use connections in the government to make an exception for us,

allowing us to stay open overnight for three days.

My sister said she would prepare a gift for our opening ceremony.

I didn't expect it to be so unique.

This came in handy.

I'd like to thank the Su family on behalf of Yun Xiang.

Yun's concerns are my concerns.

You don't need to say thank you.

Have you found out how much

Tang's Gambling House has earned today?

Of course.

We should get Menglan.

She's good at calculating.

Up to today,

we have earned 1,328.7 taels.

-So little?
-That much?

How much has Tang's Gambling House earned?

Over 2,900 taels.

How did they do that?

Tang Xiao has more than ten gambling houses.

Customers of those gambling houses

got free chips today.

The chips can only be used in Tang's Gambling House.

In this way, more people went to Tang's Gambling House.

But even without the free chips,

the daily revenue of Tang's Gambling House

is about 1,000 taels.

Even if we stay open all night,

at most, we can earn as much as they do.

Is there any other way?

We don't have to follow Tang Xiao's rules.

What do you think?

The so-called revenue

is actually just a few pages of the ledger.

But the government stipulates that

all gambling houses need to record their revenues by real names.

It's very easy

to find any falsification.

That's right.

Also, in this competition,

the ledgers of Liansheng House

and Tang's Gambling House must be made public.

Many eyes are watching us now.

Lots of people are plotting against us.

If they find out that we tamper with the ledger,

we'll lose this round.

Miss Shu.

The second day is coming.

Yes.

Mr. Su.

[If Liansheng House wins, the bet-to-payout ratio will be 1:7.]

[If Tang's Gambling House wins, the bet-to-payout ratio will be 1:2.]

If Liansheng House wins, the bet-to-payout ratio will be 1:7.

If Tang's Gambling House wins, the bet-to-payout ratio will be 1:2.

Mr. Su,

what is this?

Liansheng House and Tang's Gambling House

are competing on revenues.

I believe you all know that.

Don't you want to bet on

who will win in the end?

But the bet-to-payout ratio of 1:7 is too high.

You are all savvy players.

I believe you can tell if we rely on our usual operations only,

it will be hard for us to beat Tang's Gambling House.

The probability of winning is low

and of course, the payout rate is high.

But no matter how high the payout rate is,

if Liansheng House can't win, we can't earn the money.

This is tricky.

Yeah.

But no matter which party you bet on,

your bets are part of our revenues.

I'd like to thank you in advance.

If that's the case,

the more we bet, the more revenue you can make.

Then there is a greater chance of winning.

Let's go.

Master.

You also want to set up the external game?

Yes.

Tang's Gambling House

and all its branches are going to do so.

Master.

Brilliant idea.

There is only a certain number of gamblers in Nandu.

If you set up external games in all your gambling houses,

gamblers will have more options.

In this way,

Liansheng House won't make much money.

What's wrong with Yun Xiang?

I admit

he's quite resourceful.

But the key to winning this competition is wealth.

Right?

With his little money,

he can't achieve anything

no matter how smart he is.

That's right.

Do it!

There are so many plants in our yard.

But you favor this one.

Miss,

I can do it in perosn.

I'll make sure no one knows.

Rong,

you made the promise

when you were dying.

You promised that if you could survive,

you would hang it up

and would never hurt anyone again.

I remember.

Of course I remember.

Even if we put aside Tang Xiao,

in order to protect Mingyu,

it's nothing

if I break my promise.

But now Tang Xiao is confronting Yun Xiang.

They are fighting with wisdom but not violence.

What's wrong with that?

But there's one thing I don't understand.

Why did Yun Xiang choose to compete

with Tang's Gambling House on revenues?

This is clearly against the common sense of business.

He used the Tang family to take down Qi Tianfeng.

And now he's confronting Tang Xiao aggressively.

His enemies are the biggest merchants in Nandu.

If he wins again,

what will he do next?

He'll deal with the Su family.

I give up.

You're having fun.

I have no one else to play go with.

I can only kill time in this way.

Do I dare to play go with you?

I lost every time I played with you.

I've learned my lesson.

Here.

When playing go,

you can't retract your moves.

First, don't be greedy.

Second, don't rush blindly into the opponent's territory.

Third, be well-prepared while attacking the other.

Four, sacrifice to gain sente.

Five, discard the small to save the big.

Every move is very interesting.

Why are you laughing?

Things are chaotic

and disorderly out there.

The Tang and Su family and your Miss Shu

are turning Liansheng House upside down.

But you are having fun here.

You consider this as chaotic?

I want to make things worse.

To suppress the poison.

Master.

Let me see.

Does it hurt?

I can like anyone else.

But you have to choose that rough.

Have you learned your lesson?

Yun Xiang is really a tough guy.

He attracted people to bet on our competition.

Well, I have to admit

it's a good way to increase the revenue.

Master, will you lose?

What do you think, Tianhu?

Liansheng House stayed open last night.

They aren't lagging behind too much.

Come on.

You're so cute.

Speaking of Ke Menglan,

as she keeps an eye on you every day,

how did you manage to come here?

You are my master.

I should be by your side.

It would be nice if she

can be half as sweet as you.

Miss Ke obeys your order.

But why is she helping Liansheng House?

I also want to know why.

Ask her for me

if she still wants her Elevation Certificate.

If she doesn't want it,

I'll burn it

since I don't need it anyway.

She wants it.

Come back.

After you back, check on Yun Xiang for me.

Since the third round started,

he's been hiding in his room.

Go and check if he's in his room

and if he is, what he's doing.

Master, please teach me what to say

and what to do.

You may leave.

What's wrong?

Tang Xiao imitated us

and ordered all his gambling houses

to set up external games.

Then,

fewer players

will place their bets here.

You stayed up all night. Go back and rest.

The competition is so fierce.

In such a situation,

how can I sleep?

It is at this crucial moment that you can't be flustered.

Go and have a rest.

I'll take care of this.

Tianhu.

Didn't I tell you

not to disturb Mr. Yun?

Miss Shu.

The cook just made some soup.

I thought Mr. Yun would like it.

Did you really injure your face

because you fell down?

Yes, I wasn't paying attention while walking.

Is Mr. Yun inside?

Is that what you should ask?

Don't you know the rules?

What are the rules?

To help Mr. Yun win,

Liansheng House has changed the rules several times.

We also set up external games.

We are losing money. This is so ridiculous.

If Mr. Yun had run away,

who would take care of the mess?

Tianhu.

How rude!

Apologize to Miss Shu.

Miss Shu, I'm sorry.

Miss Shu.

We've been very busy these days.

It's inevitable that we'll make some mistakes.

Please forgive us.

I will discipline her.

Let's go.

What happened?

When did switch to Tang Xiao's side?

Miss,

you are really a bitch.

You are also on Master's side

but you always help Liansheng House.

This is not something you would say.

Tell me.

Is Tang Xiao forcing you?

Is he threatening you with Jin's life?

Tianhu.

Tang Xiao kidnapped Jin

to threaten Mr. Yun.

As long as Mr. Yun wins,

he will find a way to save Jin.

Understand?

Master won't hurt Jin.

Master also said

he would make Jin marry me

if he could win Yun Xiang.

Stop calling him Master.

Master wanted me to ask you

if you want the Elevation Certificate or not.

You...

You want the benefits of both sides.

How despicable!

You...

I see.

It looks like Master can burn the certificate.

Tianhu.

Tianhu. Tianhu.

You're poisoned.

Poisoned?

You must be kidding.

Master found out that I have an incurable disease.

I must take his medicine every day to stay alive.

Master also said

if he loses this round, he won't give me any more medicine.

Miss.

If I die,

bury me.

Don't talk nonsense.

I won't let you die.

I won't let you die.

Then, let's help Master, okay?

Let's help him win this game.

So that Master can win,

and you can be elevated out of lowly status.
