Chapter 434 Failure or failure
At this time, Si Chengren had completely forgotten his original idea.
All the people in the gambling house gathered here, and some people started to place bets, with the odds being doubled.
For example, if Si Chengren happens to win, he can get two taels of silver, and so on.
Since Si Chengren had better luck, most people followed him in betting, some betting five taels, some ten taels, and the largest one was fifty taels.
If you don't have good luck, you want to follow others to get some luck.
Unfortunately, imagination is beautiful and reality is cruel. In the first game, Si Chengren chose to bet on the smaller card, but the result was 346, and the young man on the opposite side won.
The dealer then gave all the silver on Si Chengren's table to the young man.
They had originally thought about having a bite of meat with Si Chengren, but they didn't expect to lose everything in a flash, and they all started cursing.
"Damn it, if I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have dropped so much."
"Are you trying to hurt me on purpose? I won so little in one night and now I lost it all."
"That's right. We won so much before, why did we lose this round? Tell me, did you two collude to cheat us out of our money?"
"Looking at his sharp-nosed and monkey-faced appearance, he is definitely not a decent person. He actually dared to lie to us. Do you think your life is too long?"
There are all kinds of people in the gambling house, from all walks of life, and it is impossible to reason with them.
"Who told you to follow me? If you weren't mumbling here, maybe I would have won this time." Si Chengyi was so angry that he almost vomited blood. Is he crazy? He deliberately lost money to others.
"Who knows? We won so many times just now, why did we lose this time?" Some people still continued to pester.
"Everyone, listen to me. Casinos are like this. No wonder this gentleman is so annoying. If you don't like losing money, just don't follow me anymore."
The owner of the gambling house hurried out to smooth things over. In fact, this matter had nothing to do with Si Chengren and Si Chengyi. Those people just lost money and became furious, so they had to find an outlet to vent their anger.
The shopkeeper persuaded the matter and finally suppressed it.
Si Chengyi was furious. He lost five hundred taels in one go, but he didn't say anything. Yet others came to blame him.
Seeing the situation here, the young man was in a good mood. There were also a few people who followed the young man to place bets. They were all very happy. Who wouldn’t be happy after earning some money?
If you lose, you lose. If you lose this time, you can win it back next time. Si Chengyi doesn't care about that. It's normal to lose once in a while. How can you win all the time?
Comforting himself in this way, he started again soon. After what happened just now, no one followed the two brothers to place bets this time, and they all ran to the young master's side.
Si Chengyi was breathing heavily, but he was helpless. Si Chengren was relatively steady and wanted to bet less, but he saw that the other party had bet 500 taels. If they bet less than him, the other party would definitely look down on them.
So he gritted his teeth and bet five hundred taels. After all, he had played this game so many times tonight, so this time wouldn't make a difference.
Unexpectedly, Si Chengyi actually won this time. The faces of the dozen or so people who followed the young man to place bets immediately turned as black as charcoal.
Damn it! What kind of luck is this? I bet twice and lost both times. Is it still fun to play?
In this way, he won and lost, and when he ran out of money, he would go to the shopkeeper to borrow money. Before he knew it, it was midnight.
Gradually, there were fewer people in the gambling house. Cheng Kun sat there yawning and looking at them with boredom.
Si Chengren and Si Chengyi were in high spirits the whole night. When they ran out of money again, they wanted to borrow some from the shopkeeper.
This time the shopkeeper was indeed unwilling to lend money: "My two gentlemen, you have borrowed a total of 10,000 taels tonight. It's not that I don't want to lend, but we really have no money here."
"What did you say? How much did we borrow?" When Si Chengren heard the shopkeeper say that number, his mind was shocked. He asked again in disbelief. Did he hear it wrong?
"My two lords, you have borrowed a total of 10,000 taels of silver from us so far. Take a look. This is the IOU you wrote tonight." The shopkeeper held several IOUs in his hand. It clearly stated in black and white how much they had borrowed.
Si Chengyi also turned around with a start and looked at Si Chengren. He also saw shock and disbelief in the other's eyes.
But there were numbers written on it, as well as their personal signatures and fingerprints; they couldn't be faked.
"Do you want to play or not? If not, I'm leaving." The young man stood up from his seat, stretched, with a satisfied smile on his face.
How can I not laugh? I won so much money in one night that I would wake up laughing in my dreams.
"You can't leave." Si Chengren and Si Chengyi said in unison upon hearing what he said.
They lost so much money. If he left, where would they get it back?
"You don't have money to play with me, so why can't I leave?" The young man snorted coldly, his eyes full of disdain and ridicule for them.
"You can't possibly win that much in just one night. You must have cheated us." Si Chengyi was so anxious that he was incoherent. He couldn't figure out what was going on today.
At first he just wanted to play a few rounds, how did it end up like this?
"Okay, I won't leave. I'll wait for you for another half an incense stick of time. If I fail to raise the money within this time, we'll meet again next time."
After drinking the tea handed to him by the servant, the young man sat back in his seat, crossed his legs, and looked like he was enjoying a good show.
"Boss, please lend us another 1,000 taels of silver. I will pay you back first if I win money later." Si Chengren's voice was full of pleading.
Cheng Kun brought more than one thousand taels with him today, but they had all borrowed it from the two of them. He did not have a single copper coin left at this moment.
"Sir, to be honest, we are really out of money in our gambling house. If you still want to gamble, I still have 500 taels here, I will lend it to you first to help you out in an emergency. However, you need to write me an IOU for the money you owe me."
The owner of the gambling house had a mustache, was not tall, and looked very shrewd.
"Okay, then lend me another 500 taels. I'm sure I can win this round." Si Chengyi answered first. Although he was nervous, he still wanted to take another gamble. What if he won? What if he could pay back all the money he owed? These were not impossible.
Things have come to this point, so what difference would the extra five hundred taels make? Si Chengren did not stop it because he and Si Chengyi had the same idea.
With beautiful ideas in mind and the belief that they would die if they didn't succeed, the two of them once again started their gambling journey.
